Chapter Thirty-Three: Nanyuan and the Old Man

On the seventh day of the eighth month, the army arrived at the Nanyuan of the Pamir Mountains.

The so-called Pamirs Southern Plain is actually a mountain basin on the southern foot of Mount Alai. It has a large area and is located in the southern part of Kyrgyzstan in later generations.

In the Pamir Plateau, this is a rare area with an altitude of 2,000 meters.

The easternmost end of the basin corresponds to the Ilkishtan Port at an altitude of 2,400 meters, and is an important channel of the ancient Silk Road. After the founding of New China, it was also a place where China-Soviet postal exchanges were made.

The Kizilsu River flows in it, nourishing countless pastures along the coast. It is late summer again, and the water flows in the basin, and the grass is not yellow, providing natural supplies for the arrival of cattle, sheep, horses and camels.

"This basin is really wonderful." Shao Shude climbed a hillside and overlooked the panoramic view.

Later generations he once watched a documentary about the construction of the Zhongjiwu Highway.

The road passes through this area. On the way, a small town in Saretash is located on the mountain in the north, with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. The locals mainly make a living by grazing cattle and sheep.

Walking northward from this channel with an altitude of about 3,000 meters, you will enter the Fergana Basin.

And this road is also a very long-standing commercial route or even a military channel.

Gao Xianzhi attacked Talas, and he left Kucha, and he walked the Nanyuan of the Paoling Mountains. After the failure, thousands of remaining soldiers retreated in the direction of Bahan, which was also the same way. Li Siye used a wooden slumber to block the foreigners who blocked the road.

When shooting down the valley, it is mostly in the mountains to the north.

In the Song Dynasty, Khotan captured Shule, and the Karakhan Dynasty dispatched troops from Central Asia to counterattack, and this was also the way it took.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Agubo invaded the east and took this road.

Because it takes two trips to cross the mountains, the cost of transporting grain on this road is high, so whether it is Gao Xianzhi, Bugrahan or Agubai, they all drive away cattle, sheep, horses and camels, and march while grazing. The Nanyuan of the Pamir Ling is important

The middle rest area is very ideal because the plain here is large and the altitude is not high.

At this time, a large number of livestock were driven away everywhere, and they started to chew and chewed in the grass.

Shao Shude looked left and right on the mountain, very satisfied.

Yang Liang's troops had already passed through this area five days ago and headed north.

They carried a lot of milk powder and meat floss with them, which could last for more than half a month. However, when they were walking through the Nanyuan of Paoling, these people still killed each other, and cut them up to hundreds of heads and plundered the herds' livestock.

"These animals." Shao Shude smiled, and he didn't even figure out who the shepherd here was, and who obeyed the orders, so he took action directly.

Everyone has seen the true face of the martial artist. He is probably the only one who can restrain the hearts of the martial artists as jackals and tigers in the world. Erlang can also defend the situation, but the time is not enough.

Shao Shude went down to the foot of the mountain.

Satuk's wife, Adi, came over with a cow, and her two daughters knelt on the ground and milked hard.

After seeing Shao Shude, all three of them knelt down.

The Adi family is one of the ten Uighur surnames. Later, it usurped the Khan throne of Yaoluoge. However, because of the Uighur iron law, it was impossible to call him Khan without Yaoluoge, so the Khan family changed his surname Yaoluoge, but the Adi family still

It is a large tribe and has a very noble status.

Adi is considered a noble girl. She has never done milking work and is now a prisoner. The mother and daughter are going to work, but it seems that they are not too dissatisfied.

Perhaps, they thought that I had married them to the sacred family according to the grassland customs? Shao Shude sneered and took out the girl's pink buds, laughed and went hunting with a horse.

This time, it is a standard and standard way to the Khans in the West. Even if they can't take up the Khans, they will still have to steal the wealth they have accumulated for decades.

*******

There are still many records of Bahanna in the historical materials of the Tang Dynasty, saying that there are "Six Big City" and "Hundred Small City".

The six major cities from west to east are: Huzhen City (Chinese names, name, Jun Zhanti), Bangmugar (no Chinese names), Hajistan (no Chinese names), Turmugan (Chinese names, Human), Gate

The city (no Chinese name), Bahanna (the Chinese name is Ai Sai City).

The westernmost Huwu is the Huzander (Kuzand) of Tajikistan in later generations, and the easternmost Bahan is the Namangan of Uzbekistan in later generations. It can be seen that it is basically rowed along the medicine and killing water, from the southwest.

It winds towards the northeast - the medicine kills it means "Zhenzhu River", so it is called "Zhenzhu River" in the Chinese world, and it is now the upper reaches of the Sir River.

Apart from the six big cities, the 100 small cities mentioned in the historical records of the Tang people are actually towns. The number exceeds one hundred, which is just an approximate number.

In the late 10th century, Arab geologist Mukadisi counted here that there were creator temples built in about 40 towns and villages in the entire Fergana Basin.

It seems that even half a century later, the majesty and mercy of the Creator only covered no more than 40% of Fergana.

Some things are not that simple.

Early in the morning of the 9th day of August, Satuk took a group of soldiers to patrol his new territory.

Samani was not here, but he was lucky.

He offended Nasr I, the previous Persian monarch, and was forced to flee.

After Nasr I's death, the young lord succeeded to the throne. The royal family continued to strife, members withered, and there were many rebellions in the local area.

After Samani fled back in a panic, Daweizi (prime minister) Jaihani, who assisted the new king, persuaded the new king to pardon him for his guilt, and summoned him back to Bukhara. He heard that there was another appointment.

Satuk's luck was not as good as Samani. After going to Bukhara, he didn't even see the new king's face, and was sent to Wosh (now Osh, Chinese name) to the east by Davizi.

Ershicheng), served as "Dihekan" (noble lord), and guarded this small town in the eastern front with his remnants.

He arrived at an inn and saw a large group of travelers eating and drinking, and frowned.

Theoretically, the Saman Dynasty cannot be called a country. The Saman family is actually officials under the Abbasid Dynasty.

The official title of the monarch of the Saman Dynasty was "Emir", which is the governor of the Great Khorasan region. They were theoretically responsible for the Caliph of Baghdad and were serious subjects.

Therefore, even if the country has actually been founded, there must be some effort on the surface.

Baghdad followed the rules that were found in the era of white-clothed food and food. All stations on Khorasan Avenue should provide free food and water to believers who have recently transferred their letters to the Creator - "Build a hotel on your land to facilitate believers.

Come and go and let them live for a day and a night, and take good care of his livestock; if they are sick, they will provide them with two days and two nights of entertainment; if they are exhausted and unable to move forward, they will provide them with the ability to return

Anything in the home.”

This is a policy that only exists on the newly conquered land, and its main purpose is to attract people to convert. Unfortunately, the new conquered land is the new conquered land, and this policy needs to be implemented.

In fact, China has the saying that "there are policies from the top and countermeasures from the bottom", and of course foreign countries have it.

This hugely consumed station policy is destined to not receive support from lords from all over the country, so it will be distorted when actually implemented.

Eat and drink for free? Let’s get over it!

However, Satuk's new official took office was afraid of being sued, so he did not dare to disobey him, but this was destined to pay a lot of money and food.

"Let's go." Satuk looked at it for a while, feeling upset, and soon got off.

And at this moment, several messengers rode their horses and were overjoyed when they saw Satuk.

"Dihekan, some robbers climbed over the mountains, rushed down, burned, killed and looted everywhere."

"There are also people who robbed Uzkand, who robbed people when they see them, and they wanted everything. Livestock, food, money and even people, kill them if they resisted, which is very cruel."

"I came from Aitbash, and there were robbers there, but it seemed that they were just early reconnaissance."

Satuk frowned.

The essence of Bahanna is in the west, and Ju Zhanti is the largest city, which is even more prosperous than Turmugan, which once became the capital.

Compared with those six big cities, the east Wosh, Uzkand and Aitbash can only be regarded as towns. Although the population is large, it lacks solid urban defense facilities due to its late development - Uzkand

, that is, in later generations, Kyrgyzstan, and Aitbashi is the present-day Atbashi, and it is named "Atebashi" in the Yuan Dynasty.

Take Wosh as an example. Satuk has a castle that is very strong. There are governments directly managed by him, prisons, granaries, and armories. But outside the castle, there is only a low and weak earth wall.

, known as the Outer City.

The outer city is where most officials, soldiers, merchants, craftsmen, scholars and priests live. There is a large-scale temple of the Creator and the prosperous Bazaar (market).

Because many streams pass through the outer city, large areas of farmland have been reclaimed near the outer city walls, and the number of ordinary people living in more places.

Can he protect these people?

"What does the person come?" Satuk asked.

He originally established the capital of Kalasha, and knew that the area in the south of the Pamir Mountains was mostly small Turkic tribes, and they had no ability or courage to go north to rob, so the origin of these people was very suspicious.

"Some people were wearing furs, some were wearing leather armor, and some were driving camels and pack horses, watching from a distance, without participating in the war, so they could not see their outfits clearly." said a messenger.

After hearing this, the other two nodded.

"Have leather armor?" Satuk was shocked.

Although there are many cattle, sheep, horses and camels in the grassland tribe, and they produce skins, this is different from leather armor.

After the leather is removed, it needs to be cleaned, tanned, and then layered to make leather armor. This is not a simple matter, and it often requires specialized craftsmen to make it. Otherwise, wouldn’t grassland herders be in hand for a piece of leather armor?

What you see in reality is that most of them are wearing fur and less leather armor.

If you think from this perspective, things will develop to the worst...

"Let's go back to the castle and gather people!" Satuk no longer hesitated and ran towards Woshi City with a round of horse heads.

The soldiers also waved their whips and kept up quickly.

Everyone had a serious expression and was uneasy. Especially those who followed Satuk to escape from Kalasha, they were even more devastated because they had already guessed.
