Power and Empire Chapter 919: A fierce beast strikes (5)
919 Beasts Strikes (5)
"His Royal Highness, but the longevity walker on the ground, what new command does King Falcon Khan have?" Seeing the weird **** sè on Rui Tangtingna's face, a long robe sitting in the front row The person stood up and asked with concern,
His name is Bekaliut, and the prairie language means horse doctor. Seeing him stand up, even as Princess Rui Tangtingna, I can’t help but show a touch of prudence.
Horses are sacred in the minds of nomadic people on the prairie. It is not only a reliance on daily grazing and tribal warfare, but also the lifeblood of a tribe's continuation. On the prairie, there is a good horse that can bring out one A tribe, and a good horse doctor can thrive a tribe. This shows how valuable the identity of a horse doctor is in Dongting people.
The two generations of Bekaliut and his son are horse doctors of the Dongting dynasty. Not only are they distinguished, they are also loyal to the Dongting dynasty. At this moment, it is undoubtedly right to stand up and say such a nonsense. The best support for Rui Tangtingna’s identity now,
"Master Bekaliute is right." Rui Tang Tingna glanced at Bekaliute with a sense of emotion, then swept across the sleepy faces of the people below with a confident look, and raised the letter in her hand to speak loudly." This is indeed a letter of order issued by King Falcon Khan, but at this moment, it can also be said to be a gift to us Dongting people!
"Gift?"
The patriarchs below peeped at each other, with frowning eyebrows. The eldest princess has always been a rigorous person who would never tell lies to deceive everyone, but in this case, gifts The word is really hard to understand
Rui Tangtingna smiled brightly at the corner of her mouth, spread the letter in her hand, and cherished her thoughts
"Due to the deterioration of the situation on the northern border of the East Court and the arrogance of the Northlanders, in order to avoid delaying the fight due to the situation, I, Dustan Falcon Khan, have full authority to grant me the grassland ministries, if necessary. The Northland launched an active attack, that is to say, His Majesty approved our proposal to attack across the border!"
Hearing what Rui Tangtingna said, the leaders of the Dongting tribe in the front row on both sides of the lower side were startled for a moment, and then they were filled with unexpected joy on their faces.
"We are going to send someone to fight again!" The patriarchs sitting in the middle and at the end sighed, their faces looked difficult,
An order to take the initiative! That means sending people from a limited number of tribes to participate in the war. For those big tribes with more than 50,000 people sitting in front, it’s okay to say,
These small and medium-sized tribes with a number of only 30,000 or 40,000 people have extremely limited forces. They can obtain the least benefits in the war. They are often charged forward, and when the spoils are divided, they can only get Some big clans pick the rest. For these weak tribes, war is really a laborious and bad chore.
What's more, when the former eastern court went south, almost all the soldiers they sent died in the south. This was a big blow to these small and medium tribes. Later, the army commander of the Falcon dynasty drove straight in, the soldiers crushed Motu, and the grassland shook. ,
The Falcon dynasty showed strong soldiers, making all the small and small tribes fled in a panic, while the large tribes kept a wait-and-see attitude. Be able to follow the big clan, choose to follow the trend and return to the Falcon Dynasty,
But now it’s different. With the southward migration of several major clans, although the center of the grassland is under the jurisdiction of the Falcon Dynasty, some sites are northerly, small in scale, and small and medium-sized tribes with a population of only tens of thousands. Region, the ruling power of the Falcon Dynasty is relatively weaker,
Often only these tribes are needed. Just send someone to report the stationing point every month. This has also led to a self-righteous idea within the small and medium-sized tribes. On the new water and grassland, no one buys each other's face, and some are even opponents who were fighting each other in the first place. , Once again fighting for water and grass, the chaos and rout of the northern border can be imagined
In the hearts of these small and medium-sized tribes, the Dongting royal family that used to be pressed on their heads no longer exists. Even the eldest princess Rui Tangtingna, in the eyes of these ambitious tribe leaders, is just the princess of the Falcon Dynasty That's it,
At the meeting of the royal court this time, if it is not about yourself, you may be threatened by the Northlanders. The leaders of these small and medium tribes in the northern area may not participate. Now suddenly at the meeting, I heard the princess. Announcing the initiative to attack the Northlanders, naturally one by one seems very reluctant
"Do you have any difficulties?"
Ri Tangtingna’s face is slightly cold, and according to her subtle and smart, she naturally sees the minds of the people below, and she can’t help sighing in her heart. The Vikia Falcon is indeed powerful, just an order to move south. Just let the originally united East Court split into what it is now. Unlike these small and medium-sized tribes with worried faces, the large tribes who moved south are very enthusiastic about this battle.
For example, Umu Aston, the chief official of the royal court affairs of the Eastern Court Period, was the first one of these great patriarchs to arrive. With him came the 10,000 Eastern Cavalry of his clan, and then arranged in Afterwards, the patriarch of Ruian Suncoast, the third largest clan in the East Court, brought 7,000 cavalry soldiers from the East Court, and almost all the big clans who came afterwards arrived with their own armies.
Five thousand, six thousand, seven thousand,
The leaders of these big clans who came in swarms, as if they were recklessly violating their family background, brought their own cavalry to ride horses, not inferior to the speed at which they received the order from the East Court.
In just ten days, the number of cavalry in the East Court quickly exceeded 40,000. Although it could not be compared with the 100,000 cavalry in the heyday of the East Court, the performance was quite shocking.
At the critical moment, most of these tribal leaders who chose to follow the trend and belong to the Falcon Dynasty have a pair of eyes that are good at seizing opportunities.
In their eyes, this war with the Northerners may be a rare and precious opportunity,
The tribes who moved south were placed in the area near the northeastern border of Swadian, where the climate is warm and the water plants are rich, which is much better than the original bitter cold place.
But these two to three hundred thousand people have been resettled in a hurry. It is almost impossible to be fair and reasonable. There will always be people who complain that the other party has more aquatic plants and that the other party’s site is closer to a prosperous business area, especially The Xikugit caravans of horse teams pass through their new station almost every few days. The thorns of the various ethnic groups in the Dongting grassland that have been closed on the Dongting grassland for more than ten years are very large.
The concept of commerce is quite weak in Dongting. Because of its geographical location to the north, and in order to cut off the threat of spying, the former Dongting dynasty has always refused to accept contacts from inland areas. At the beginning, the fat man wanted to talk to Dongting people. To do business, you must pass through the tightly sealed West Kujit. The bitter cold in the north makes it impossible to form an area that can become a commercial center.
Compared with each other, the various ministries of the East Court found one thing in common.
That is, the Sikugits were similar to themselves at the beginning. The water, grassland and residential areas were not all equal, but after suffering a fiasco that was almost annihilating,
Its military and economic strength quickly recovered to the original situation in just 2 years,
Even more powerful than the original power, which basically reveals a reality. The Falcon Dynasty is still very fair in treating the vassal kingdom, and it did exactly the same as the Sikugits at the beginning. The only difference in treatment is that the Sikugits have fully integrated themselves into the foreign war of the Falcon Dynasty.
So it gets the most rewards for combat merit, and its development is the fastest,
Because of the war with the Swadians and Rudds in the first half of the year alone, the Kujit cavalry received a reward of more than one million gold coins. In the previous era of relying on grazing, it would take at least 30 years. Accumulation,
For example, the Doweiyan Tribe, which has been used as an auxiliary cavalry for many times in wars, not only has the best strength in Sikugit, but also recently it has been reported that it is planning to build a Dowei city on its own on the border.
That is not the kind of military fortress and the city fortress in the gathering area, but a city in the true sense, a city belonging to the prairie people, just like the enviable inland people, build a commercial A beautiful, majestic and prosperous city in the center,
There will be residential areas, commercial areas, trading areas, and even large ports on the river. This is a city built by a grassland tribe, which is almost unimaginable for a tribe that has always been mainly nomadic. , Think about Motu’s embarrassment~IndoMTL.com~ In the minds of nomads, the concept of the city is vague, just like their simple méng old bags for their own use.
Because in the eyes of nomads, there is only one center of the grassland, and that is the place where the king's court is located. There is the center of the tribes gathering. The significance of self-built city is equivalent to self-reliance, which is an extremely serious act of betrayal.
Just as everyone was waiting to see Dowei’s jokes, the attitude from the Falcon Dynasty once again shocked them. In order to congratulate the first Kujit self-built city, His Majesty Falcon Khan personally 500,000 gold coins were allocated as the first funds for the construction of the city, which shocked the people of Dongting once again.
"War is a really convenient way to make a fortune!" Such thoughts soon appeared in the minds of the patriarchs who moved south from Dongting,
Under this consensus, Princess Rui Tangtingna's order to take the initiative to attack was soon implemented.
In the early morning of May 8th, in the early morning, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses rolled out from the camp, gray leather armor appeared in the deep fog, and countless sharp machetes seemed to be added to the ground. After a luminous river, the main force of the 40,000 Eastern cavalry gathered in the Akastia marshland began to move. This rolling iron current rushing straight to the northern border opened the Falcon Dynasty and the Northern War The prologue horn...Q! .
