Chapter 470 The International Students of Daqin Kindergarten
The Yueshi are a powerful tribe living in the Hexi Corridor and the Qilian Mountains. At least, at this moment, they have not been driven away by the Xiongnu, and they can be regarded as one of the most powerful forces on the grassland. For a long time, everyone has been confused about the origin and origin of the Yuezhi people.
Regarding culture, there are many different views in the academic world. So far, there are many theories such as the Sino-Tibetan theory, the Sogdian theory, the Indo-European theory, and the Iranian theory.
Because according to records in the Han Dynasty, the language of these people is similar to that of the Qiang people, it is not unreasonable for their language to be identified as Sino-Tibetan. However, judging from the unearthed corpses, their appearance may be more Indo-European.
Therefore, some scholars believe that the Eurasian-like mixed faces that exist in the Western Regions today are the result of the reproduction of these ancient tribes and the local East Asian indigenous people.
We don’t know much about them. We only know that this tribe has a very ancient history. It appeared in history books very early and was domineering on the grasslands. It is a pity that when the Xiongnu gradually became stronger, the Yuezhi
The power of the people has been affected to a certain extent. According to archaeological results, the Yuezhi people have mastered certain farming techniques, and their development in other fields is not inferior. Compared with the Xiongnu, they may be more advanced.
The Xiongnu's original strength had already made the Yuezhi fearful, but now, the Xiongnu have been defeated by Li Mu, and their power has been reduced to the last ten. They have returned to the state they were in hundreds of years ago. The people of the Yuezhi are probably the happiest.
They finally no longer worried about this neighbor who was getting stronger. But the Huns' life was very bad. Touman Chanyu led the tribe to migrate, but the migration life was not easy because there were still tigers and wolves watching around.
Hold them.
Many small tribes that were not looked down upon by the Huns in the past now want to devour them or even attack them. Touman barely repelled several attacks, but it also hindered the migration of the Huns. Touman had to think
In order to change the current situation, Touman quickly completed the reform of the Xiongnu. Nowadays, the Xiongnu is weak, there are no big nobles inside, and the wise kings on the left and right cannot refuse. Touman feels that this is the best opportunity for reform.
The first thing Touman did was to compile writing. The Huns only had language but no writing. Touman felt that writing was so useful that he had to have his own writing. In order to achieve this
In order to achieve his goal, he decided to plagiarize according to Zhao's writing, but he soon discovered that this was impossible. He could not compile tens of thousands of characters, and such writing did not conform to the language of the Xiongnu.
Only then did Touman realize that the reform was actually so difficult. He couldn't even complete the first step. How could he complete the second and third steps? He still wanted to compile laws, but now he couldn't even write them.
He couldn't figure it out, and Touman had a huge headache. This was because of the shortage of talents. The Huns did not lack talents for fighting, but they did not have the kind of talents who could help him carry out reforms or even make suggestions.
The external pressure made Touman focus on the issue of how to survive. What troubled Touman most now was how to preserve the Xiongnu tribe. We should wait until the Huns stabilized to deal with complicated reforms. Touman thought,
If he wanted to survive, he had to find a big backer so that he could complete the reforms he had in mind with peace of mind. Touman originally thought of Donghu, but huge changes occurred within Donghu.
The tribal leader rebelled, killed King Donghu, and became King Donghu himself. He then integrated the Donghu tribe and expanded Donghu's power. Donghu seemed to be gradually getting stronger, and the new King Donghu had clear rewards and punishments, and was ambitious. He seemed to want to conquer the Xiongnu.
The original forces were also integrated, and Touman was really afraid that he would be directly annexed by them, so he set his sights on the weaker Yuezhi.
The Yuezhi are weaker than the Xiongnu and Donghu. Fortunately, they will not integrate the internal tribes and will not directly swallow them up for you.
Touman knew that King Yuezhi liked horses, so he personally prepared some of the best thousand-mile horses for him, and then took the tribe to visit him. Everyone in the tribe felt that this was too dangerous and rushed to the enemy's territory. If they directly
What should we do if we attack? Touman felt that the Xiongnu had no strength to resist other enemies, and the Yuezhi King was arrogant, so it was best to save his face and lead his tribe to surrender to him. He would never attack him.
In this way, Touman took the gifts he prepared, led the tribe to migrate to the Yuezhi, and took his warriors to pay homage to the Yuezhi King.
When King Yuezhi heard that Touman had brought his tribe to surrender, he was of course indescribably happy. Touman was too ambitious and was very powerful in the past, so he always looked down on him. But now, he is like a dog coming to see him, and
What could be more joyful than this? King Yuezhi thought of the insult he had suffered in the past, and decided to take revenge on Touman severely. He summoned his ministers and prepared to meet Touman.
A minister said: "Touman is a hungry wolf. Now he is wagging his tail and begging you for mercy. One day, when you are not paying attention, he will bite your flesh in one bite!"
King Yuezhi was furious and said: "Touman is a wolf and I am a tiger. I have never heard of a wolf eating a tiger!" After saying this, he executed the minister for his crime of humiliating the king.
Before the minister was killed, he cursed, "Hundu! You are not a tiger! You are just a pig! Just wait until the day you are eaten by wolves!" King Yuezhi ignored the minister's curse and felt relieved.
Waiting for Touman's interview.
When Touman arrived at the king's tent, he was surrounded by elite Yuezhi warriors. They looked at Touman fiercely, with swords in their hands. Touman looked scared and lowered his head in a hurry.
When he dared to go further, King Yuezhi laughed and said: "I heard that you are a warrior on the grassland, how can you still be scared by swords? Please don't be afraid, come to me!"
Touman said helplessly: "Your sword is so sharp that I dare not look at it."
Of course, the Yuezhi King was even happier and asked the warriors to put away their swords. Then Touman walked up to him and paid him a courtesy visit. Then he expressed his request. He said: "I was defeated by Li Mu.
All the surrounding tribes are coming to attack me. I have nowhere to go, so I hope you can take me in. I just need a pasture to feed my horses, and I am willing to obey any of your orders."
"What ability do you have to help me?" King Yuezhi said disdainfully. Touman's face was not angry at all. He just lowered his head and repeatedly begged the other party to take him in. King Yuezhi made all kinds of sarcasm and sarcasm.
Finally, he generously forgave Touman for his past behavior and was willing to take him in. The Yuezhi hosted a banquet for him, but made him sit in the last seat, only gave him some bones without meat, and treated him like a dog.
humiliation.
"You don't know. It is said that this Touman always reads the books of the Zhao people. What is his name? Anyway, he is about to become a Zhao people!" King Yuezhi laughed, and Touman just laughed.
There was no explanation, and other ministers also mocked one after another, looking down on the Shanyu who was rumored to like reading. They even asked Touman to tell them a piece of Zhao Guo's text, preferably one from Ma Fujun's book.
Word.
Touman did not refuse their request. He stood up, pretended to have a bamboo slip in his hand, and then exaggeratedly said: "Fan Ju killed Wei Qi, Ma Fujun said; a gentleman takes revenge, it is not too late in ten years!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and then asked: "What does this mean?"
"This means that you should keep your promises."
Everyone suddenly understood, and the Yuezhi King said disdainfully: "I thought it was some profound truth. Do you still need to write down such a thing?"
Touman's heart was burning with anger, but his face didn't show it at all, he just smiled.
After the banquet was over, Touman returned to the tent. His behavior just now dealt a huge blow to his prestige. If it weren't for his strength, the Huns would have been scattered. He just returned
When he arrived at the tent, he saw his wife, Yan, wiping herbs for her young son. When she saw Touman walking in, Mrs. Yan raised her head and said, "Can't you control them? They always do it.
If I hadn't seen the bully Mo Dun today, he would have almost been beaten to death."
At first, some priests said that the Huns' defeat was due to Maodun's birth. Touman did not believe this and ignored it. However, other Huns believed it, so many children of the same age of the Huns' nobles would always bully children who were much younger than them.
Because of the pressure over the years, the huge sense of crisis, and the emotional instability of Mao Dun Er Tou Man, outside, he always smiled and lowered his head, but inside the tent, he vented his anger on his wife.
.
Before Yan could finish her words, Touman slapped her in the face. He shouted: "Isn't it enough that I have been humiliated? He is also a man. If he is humiliated by others, it is only him.
It's your own problem! You raised my wolf into a sheep! Get out!" He kicked Yanshi in the abdomen again. Yanshi groaned and fell to the ground in pain. At that moment, only five or six
The age-old Mo Dun, with his eyes wide open and burning with fire, rushed towards his father, but was held tightly by his mother.
The bruised Yanshi walked out of the tent with her son. She knew that she was getting older and no longer as beautiful as before. Touman had already found several new Yanshi, which made her status lower and lower. Those
The young Mr. Yan also looked down on her and always told her to do things. She took her son's hand and walked out of the tent. The two walked out for a long time, and Mr. Yan then touched her painful abdomen and sat on the grass.
The young Mao Dun looked very lively. He stretched out his hand to help his mother rub his belly. Mrs. Yan smiled softly, stretched out her hand and stroked her son's head. The son was very strong, taciturn, but
She loves herself very much, which makes Mrs. Yan very happy. She looks at the scars on her son's face, but feels a little distressed, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"If they scold you, just leave. Why do you have to fight with them? They are so much older than you."
"I will always grow up, mother. When I grow up, I promise that no one can bully us." The little guy said very seriously. Ms. Yan smiled bitterly. She touched her son's face and said, "But you
You haven't grown up yet, so you have to learn to be tolerant. If one day, I'm no longer here, and someone wants to bully you, don't confront them. You can wait until you grow up and then take revenge on them, okay?"
"Mother, are you going to leave me alone?"
"Of course not. I will stay with you forever."
"I know that the woman from Qushe beat you and burned you, so I secretly strangled her son to death in the morning. She went crazy."
Ms. Yan suddenly felt cold all over her body. She widened her eyes and looked at her son. She suddenly remembered the murder that happened in the morning, but she never thought that it was related to her son. She subconsciously raised her palms.
, but looking at the child's deep and calm eyes, but unable to hit him in the face, she took a deep breath and said: "You can't kill people casually, you know?"
"No, I won't let anyone bully you. No matter who it is, he will pay the price one day. As for that flexing woman, when I grow up, I will definitely bring the most elite knights to slaughter you.
Drop the entire refraction”
Ms. Yan was silent for a long time. She looked at the sunset in the distance, put the child in her arms, and said in a low voice: "No one bullies me, just stay safe. Don't make your father angry. Don't follow me again."
Protect yourself when others fight.”
At this moment, Touman had just "vented" his anger on another young Yan family. Of course, the way of venting was different. Touman entered the sage time, suppressed all the anger in his heart, and began to think about the future of the Huns.
, Why can't I reform? The main reason is that I don't have as many talented people as in the Central Plains. If Touman didn't know what he thought of, he suddenly sent someone to call his eldest son, Maodun.
Mao Dun had already wiped off the blood on his face and stood in front of his father, frowning and not looking like a child of the same age.
"How much have you learned of what I asked you to learn?" Touman suddenly asked in Zhao language.
"I've learned a lot." Mao Dun replied stutteringly, also in Zhao language.
"What about the books? Can you understand them?"
"I can understand a little bit."
"How much can you understand?!" Touman's tone instantly became a little harsh.
"Most of them can understand it."
"I want to send you to Qin to find a man and learn from him. I want to do many things, but I don't know how to do it. That man knows how to do it. If you can learn it, I will let you inherit mine.
Position, if you can't learn it, you can die there," Touman said with narrowed eyes.
Modun was unmoved, his face was extremely calm, which made Touman even more angry. He didn't get any respect in Modun, let alone respect, he didn't even have fear. Touman didn't want to talk to him anymore.
, waved his hand and said: "Go out, I will ask someone to send you over as a hostage. You will no longer be a Huns. You are the prince of Lin Hu's fleeing tribe. I heard that there is Lin Hu next to him."
Hu man, he will definitely not make things difficult for you."
"What benefits can I gain?"
"You will not get any benefits. If you are unwilling to fulfill my instructions carefully, you will lose your mother."
