When we arrived at Zhangde Hall, the first palace lantern in Weiyang Palace happened to be lit. Immediately, thousands of palace lanterns burned one by one, bringing the Weiyang Palace back to light from darkness.
Has Xia Yanzhi ever seen such a handwriting before?
"Even if we bring all the lamp oil from the Xiongnu, it will probably only be enough for the emperor of the Han Dynasty for a month..." Xia Yanzhi sighed in her heart, but she was led into the palace by the maids on the left and right.
As soon as he entered the palace, Xia Yanzhi felt as if he was in the palace that supports the sky in myths and legends.
The floor under your feet is clean and bright, just like the clear lake water, and you can see the reflected figures.
On the pillars in the palace, dragons snaked upwards with their fangs and claws spread out, as if they were about to burst out of the sky to congratulate the owner of the palace.
On both sides of the main hall, rows of guards wearing black armor stood like sculptures.
Countless courtiers knelt and sat on both sides.
Not to mention Xia Yanzhi, even Lan Tuoxin, the bone capital of the Huns who was ordered to escort Xia Yanzhi, opened his mouth wide and looked in disbelief.
"No wonder King Youxian advocated going south with all his strength..." Lan Tuoxin sighed in his heart: "If we can break into Chang'an and take the Han Dynasty's treasured population back to the Xiongnu, then what else can we do to rob the Western Regions!"
Although the Western Regions are wealthy, they are all small countries, and the largest country, Wusun, only has a population of one million.
In the Han Dynasty, a county had a population of one million or even two million!
Guanzhong has a population of several million!
For slave-owning nomadic peoples like the Xiongnu, slaves were their foundation.
Without slaves, the Xiongnu warriors had no choice but to herd their own animals.
As for the Xiongnu tribal warriors, almost everyone was a slave owner, and every family kept several slaves.
In the Xiongnu, the number of slaves was the key to someone's social status.
It can be said that the power of the Xiongnu is based on its continuous plundering of population and wealth. If there are not enough slaves, the Xiongnu will only have more than 400,000 strong men. How can they punch the Han Dynasty and kick the Western Regions?
only……
Lan Tuoxin lowered his head and sighed. The current Han Dynasty had wiped out the ambitious dissenters in the country last year. There were no internal worries. This huge empire with a population of 20 million was already in an invincible position.
Shan Yuting would not take the initiative to invade unless his head was kicked by a donkey!
"We can only hope that the Yan family of Beihai can use their charm to control the emperor of the Han Dynasty and make him a puppet of our great Huns!" Lan Tuoxin thought in his heart.
However, beside him was the Huns princess of the Beihai clan, whose Chinese name was Xia Rouge. At this time, her thoughts were about something else.
"This beautiful palace and powerful empire belongs to my man?" Xia Yanzhi's eyes were filled with stars.
Women on the grasslands are more realistic than men and know better how to survive.
For example, when Donghu was destroyed by the Xiongnu, the wives, concubines, and daughters of the last king of Donghu all happily married under Modun Shanyu.
For women on the grassland, clinging to the strong has almost become an instinct in their lives.
Just like the lions on the African grasslands in later generations, female lions will never care who the king is, as long as they can protect them!
The same is true for Hun women!
On the vast grassland, for thousands of years, strong men have emerged one after another.
Men kill for hegemony, while women rely on the final winner and reproduce from generation to generation, under the survival law of the fittest.
All women who cannot adapt to this rule will be dead long ago!
In the past, the Huns were able to control the countries in the Western Regions with the marriage policy. The main reason was that those countries were too weak, so weak that they did not even have the strength to resist the Huns!
More importantly, those Xiongnu noble women or royal women who married outside the country usually took the initiative to seek help from the Xiongnu country in order to establish their own power.
When it was Xia Rouge's turn, the country she married into was no weaker than the Xiongnu, and its potential was far greater than that of the Xiongnu!
Women who grew up on the grasslands are naturally gifted in weighing pros and cons compared to women in the Central Plains.
Their intuition can often provide them with a wise choice.
At this moment, Xia Yanzhi made a decision - starting from today, learn Chinese, learn Chinese, work hard to integrate, and strive to become a qualified concubine of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
As for the Huns?
what is that?
Women on the grassland never have tribal or national concepts, they only have male concepts.
As long as their man is strong enough and can protect them, they don't care whether the man is a Donghu or a Yuezhi.
And a woman who grew up in Shan Yuting doesn't even care if her man was her father-in-law or son.
To live and have power and wealth is their eternal pursuit!
The former has a higher priority than the latter, but the latter must be a woman's eternal pursuit.
The only difference is that Chinese culture is more subtle and euphemistic, while the Huns are relatively simple and crude. To put it figuratively, they are 'ignorant of etiquette, justice and shame'.
Almost without reminding the maid next to her, Xia Yanzhi took the initiative to use the Han Dynasty court etiquette that she had just learned and was not proficient in. She slowly knelt down and faced the man above him who was wearing a royal robe and an emperor's crown.
An extraordinary, god-like man offering all his loyalty.
She lowered her head deeply, and the scenery was faintly visible in the large Hanfu robe.
Liu Che sat on the throne and couldn't help but smile slightly when he saw this scene.
This scene made Liu Che feel a little familiar yet unfamiliar.
It was as if I had seen it before.
After a long time, Liu Che remembered that there seemed to be a similar scene in a later wildlife documentary.
But, that was the scene when the lioness in the pride pledged her allegiance to the new king.
The lioness exposed her softest belly and lay on her back on the grass, waiting for the new king to accept her.
Liu Che couldn't help but laugh.
However, the fact that this princess married to the Huns could have such an awareness made Liu Che's heart heavy.
He was still worried at first, if the princess he married was the kind of woman who was smelly, hard, and could only think about the Huns.
if that is the case……
Liu Che had no choice but to let her "die of illness", and then start "thinking about returning to the palace" again, just to show off and fool the Huns.
Now, it's different. With this woman's cooperation, those dowry slaves and troops can be completely digested.
The Huns, or all nomadic peoples that have ever appeared in history, have a common characteristic, which is to obey the superiors. They are extremely obedient to their masters - of course, the premise is that the master is strong enough and alert enough.
During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there were always many foreigners from the grasslands in the Han army.
They are more than just soldiers.
The outstanding talents among them can even become generals, nobles, and even occupy the core of the highest power.
Most of the time, these surrendered aliens are more Han than real Han!
For example, in history, Jin Rixi, the crown prince of Xiutu, became the most loyal lackey of the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and his descendants were known as the last loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty. They fought against Wang Mang in the final struggle for the power of the Liu family.
The Southern Xiongnu who surrendered even sacrificed their lives and descendants for the Han Dynasty's border defense. They remained loyal to the Liu family until Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty.
Of course, Liu Che knew better that these aliens, who seemed to be as docile as pet dogs in front of their masters after surrendering, would definitely pounce on them and bite off a piece of meat without hesitation as long as they sensed their master's weakness.
The history of the Wuhu Chaos in China, the An-Shi Rebellion, the Liao, Jin, Meng and Yuan Dynasties, and even the rise of the Jiannu, all gave Liu Che a good educational lesson called "How to prevent pets from going crazy."
If you want your dog to be obedient, a chain, food and poison are all essential.
It would be best to give this pet dog a wolf dog that he can't deal with.
For example, in the later generations of Mi Di, in East Asia, one dog chain was tied with Neon, and another dog chain was holding the strongest Smecta in the universe.
If Neon is disobedient, Smecta will definitely protect the Lord.
On the other hand, Neon would definitely be happy to go to Seoul again to teach Smecta how to be a loyal dog.
It was this kind of preparedness that made Neon become Midi's eternal bastard and his biggest victim.
Of course, in addition to this, garrisoning and unplugging the pet may backfire on certain organs and functions of the owner is also essential.
Of course, the most important thing is that the master must always maintain his strength.
Otherwise, no matter how loyal the dog is, it may turn into a zombie dog and take away the life of its owner! (A great activity for pie-in-the-sky pie-in-the-sky activities, cool mobile phones are waiting for you! Follow ~ click / public account (add friends on WeChat - add public)

ps: ps: Regarding the population of the Xiongnu, Historical Records once said through the words of the Bank of China: The Xiongnu people cannot be regarded as a county in the Han Dynasty, but the strong ones have different food and clothing...
From this we can deduce that the population of the Xiongnu was probably no more than a million at most.
Of course, the people here refer only to the herdsmen of the tribe.
As for slaves?
Can tools count as people?
Third brother has the most say on this issue!
Another piece of evidence comes from the results of the decisive battle in Mobei.
After the decisive battle in Mobei, the Xiongnu fled far away and hid in the Monan Desert.
But in the decisive battle in Mobei, Huo Qubing could only behead 17,000 people.
Considering that the number of beheadings in ancient times has been more than three times the number of war dead.
Calculating this way, the Xiongnu lost a total of tens of thousands of people.
But even with the losses of tens of thousands of people, it took the Huns twenty years to recover!
It is conceivable that the tens of thousands of people lost in the decisive battle in Mobei must have been young men in the Xiongnu country, and they must have accounted for a very high proportion of the population!
