Chapter 60 The Wonderful Zhongyun Kingdom

Guannicheng is Ruoqiang County in the later republic. It is the largest county in the Republic. It is similar to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but the population is not large, with only more than 80,000 people. It is a non-free shipping area among the non-free shipping area!

However, in this era, the Ni City is a little more prosperous than later generations.

Because the Southern Silk Road had to pass here at this time, every year, by entertaining merchants to sell some specialties, I would like to train Dangdang Erdao dealers, and the Guloulan people who changed their name to Zhongyun people can still live.

Even after the Guiyi army overthrew Tubo, no one was messing around in the Hexi Corridor, and the Silk Road was slightly restored, Guannicheng ushered in a wave of small development.

Today, there are more than 7,000 Dingkou in the Guanni City, which is almost comparable to later generations. You should know that Ruoqiang Town in the Republic has a population of only over 10,000.

The Zhongyun King of this generation is called Sanpoba, and he is the king elected by nearby tribes.

The reason why he was elected was not only because his tribes had the largest population, but because he occupied the treasure land of the Ni City. The surrounding tribes all needed to come here to communicate with each other. Gradually, a small system similar to tribute trade was formed.

In other words, the leaders of the tribes around all need to obey the orders of Sanpoba, accept the official positions he gave, and pay some tribute to cattle, wool, blankets, corn, wheat, etc. before you can go to the Nicheng City to carry out commercial activities.

The Zhongyun King Sanpoba of this generation is a very talented person, because in addition to gathering nearby tribes, he also knew how to care about the matter in the Central Plains and would come to pay tribute from time to time. The title of Zhongyun Kingdom was beaten out in his hands.

As for why I did this, because Sanpoba needed this name to trade with the Central Plains dynasty!

Do you think that a Zhongyun tribe can receive generous rewards from the Central Plains dynasty? Or can Zhongyun Kingdom get more rewards?

Moreover, although the Central Plains has entered the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, the position of the emperor is often not very stable, and he is likely to be pulled down by his subordinates at any time, but this also leads to their desire to receive nominal tribute from all directions!

For the emperor, having countries from east, west, south and north to pay tribute is also a political achievement!

Even Shi Jingtang, the notorious son emperor in history, reigned for only two or three years, and sent people to the Western Regions and enthroned the Jin Kingdom as the Kingdom of Khotan!

So, although the population of Zhongyun Kingdom is not known to be 100,000, except for the king Sanpoba, there are dozens of prime ministers, governors, generals, wow!

Some generals may have only a hundred men and women in total. There are so many noble official titles that sound like a fool, just to enhance their momentum and praise their own value.

Even the "Jotan Record" by Gao Juhui, an envoy of the Later Jin Dynasty, has related records, "The Sanwei Mountains ten miles southeast are where the three Miaos flew. The river crossing west to Duxiang is called Yangguan, and the Zhongyun clan in the west of Shazhou is called Zhongyun clan.

He lived in Huluji, Huluji, and others traveled westward to Zhongyun Realm and arrived at Datun City. Zhongyun sent four prime ministers and thirty-seven generals, and envoys waiting for Jin, Kuang Ye and others comforted them with edicts, and all bowed to the east."

Just say that this drama is not done enough? First, the envoys of the Later Jin Dynasty were not allowed to go to Guanni City to see the real situation, and directly treated the envoys of the Later Jin Dynasty in Datun City between Dunhuang and Guanni.

The prime ministers and governors of all sizes came in the forty days. After receiving the edict, they still bowed eastward according to the etiquette. They were extremely pious and coaxed the envoys of the Later Jin Dynasty to be overjoyed.

Who knows that the Zhongyun Kingdom might be the size of a superior county in the Central Plains? Those who don’t know think it is a major country in the Western Regions.

However, Zhang Zhao was not Gao Juhui or an angel from the Later Jin Dynasty like Zhang Kuangye, nor was he a businessman who came to go to business. He wanted to catch a handful of evil people in Guini City. So after a day off in Loulan City, Zhang Zhao immediately led everyone to speed up, bypassed Datun City in the middle, and headed straight to Guini City.

As for the captives, there were about twenty Canwei women who could only throw them to Fan Running and other envoys to rush back and rush back slowly. Zhang Zhao still couldn't cut them down or throw them in Pu Changhai and wait for death.

However, there is nothing to say about prisoners like Mahashd. Since he came to take the initiative to attack himself, he should also predict what consequences would be if he failed.

Therefore, more than 30 people including Mahashde were all cut by Zhang Zhao on the beach of Puchang, leaving only Arrodou, a man from Geluo and a few of his tribesmen to lead the way.

Desert marching is not as good as Central Plains. Due to the large temperature difference, many times a day are not suitable for marching. Although the average temperature in October is only a few degrees, it can still reach twenty or thirty degrees when it is the hottest at noon.

Moreover, the twenty degrees in the desert area are not as good as inland. The twenty degrees weather is still very difficult to pass through under the burning of the sun and the addition of sand.

So we could only walk around, and because we could not go to Datun City to replenish the water, everyone's lips were completely dry and cracked. Arrow Dudu and others were almost thinking that Zhang Zhao wanted to torture them to death.

"Erlangjun, the city of turquoise has arrived!" In the bright morning, Zhang Zhao was greedily licking the little bit of moist feeling on the wet sand. Now that he wants to save energy, he cannot dig too deeply, so he can only think of making a little wet sand to quench his thirst.

"Finally arrived! How far is it? Are you prepared?" Zhang Zhao reluctantly threw the wet sand on the ground.

Yesterday they passed an oasis and didn't even go to replenish the water source. They were afraid of leaking news, and now they finally found the place.

"Three miles away, there is Yangma City outside the city. I didn't dare to get too close!" Ma Yaozi picked up a handful of wet sand pits taken out by Zhang Zhaogang and sucked greedily, answering without raising his head.

"The three miles away, not far away, the war horses all gave enough water, and they could arrive in half a quarter of an hour! This raid must be fast!"

As he said that, Zhang Zhao pulled Arrodou and pressed his head to his knees. Arrodou and his tribe members have been to the Ni City, which is an important reason why Zhang Zhao left his life.

"Draw the structure of the Ni City again and tell you! Your tribe members have painted it again. I know where it is. Now it depends on your kid being honest!

If you are honest, I will take you to make money. If you are not honest, I will break your tendons and throw you here!"

Arrodou was pressed down on his head and could not move. He could only shake his eyes and mean that he was absolutely honest.

Zhang Zhao then let go of him. After letting go, Arrodou drew on the wet sand with his fingers.

"Tangren Master! The city of Ni is not big, it is a long snake, basically spreading along the Ruoqiang River.

Near the river bank is Yangma City, with many business travelers. These big and small businesses have guards, and there are hundreds of them at most, and they are involved in people everywhere in Anxi. It is best for the master not to touch them.

Behind Yangma City is the settlement of Zhongyun people, and King Zhongyun’s palace tent is located at the northernmost mountain!”

Not only did Arrodou dare not hide it, but he was also afraid that what he said was wrong and not detailed, he was killed by Zhang Zhao on the excuse of being killed, so he said it very carefully.

"How about the city wall? How about the guards of King Zhongyun's palace tent?" Zhang Zhao continued to ask.

"Not really, there are Mushan railings in many places. You can drive the horse in just a little bit of care!" Ma Yaozi raised his head, sucking his mouth, his beard and wet sand, and said.

"The palace tent of King Zhongyun is protected by earthen walls. Although it is only about four or five feet high, it is very thick. A few years ago, a group of people from Kucha had the idea of ​​King Zhongyun, but they failed to break the wall!

The door of the big tent is afraid that it will weigh thousands of pounds, and it will be wrapped in iron sheets, so it will be difficult to push down and burnt down!" Arrodou said quickly.

Zhang Zhao raised a smile on his lips. It seemed that King Zhongyun was making a living by relying on the thick wall and heavy door. If he could not break his turtle shell, he would only need three or two hundred guards to guard him, and I am afraid that two or three thousand people would not hurt him.

But! He unfortunately met Zhang Zhao. Zhang Da Time Traveler had dozens of kilograms of primitive black gunpowder. As long as he rushed to the door and buried it, the two or three thousand kilograms of wooden door could not be blown open, he could still ignite it!
