Chapter 31 Bloody Indus (4) Tanobra Temple

 Huslen took the lead, rushed forward with a pistol and a saber!

Unlike farming ethnic groups, nomadic tribes have fewer aquatic plants and fewer people to support. Therefore, fighting with potential enemies to fight for water plants is commonplace. The difficulty of survival in grasslands is far greater than that in farmlands. A severe drought or heavy snow can make people lose their popularity sharply.

In agricultural areas, food can be stored for disasters. Although there are very few people who end up falling on the heads of the people, some of them are not. For nomadic tribes, apart from waiting for death, they are large-scale migrations.

They obviously would choose the latter, and then they would fight one after another.

Enjoy galloping on the war horse, cutting the sabers on the enemy. When the enemy's sabers and arrows fall on you, it is normal to become more and more brave like a wounded beast.

The bravest warriors, such as those with the titles of Batulu, Bater, and Omubu, will most likely enjoy the greater pleasure brought to him by injury. The so-called "the more you frustrated, the more courageous you are, and the bloody battle is common here.

Truchen, with the rapid advancement of technology, no one of their cavalry could enjoy this pleasure for a long time.

However, as a grassland man, when it comes to war, the bloody courage on his body will eventually be stimulated.

The Baloch people opposite them are known as the robber tribe on the Beiluzhi plateau hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. Although they also farm and graze, their greatest pleasure is robbery.

Robbing hostile tribes inside, killing all their men, stealing their women and wealth, and intercepting passers-by businessmen are their greatest pleasures since their emergence.

In fact, they are Persians. The so-called Baloch people are Persians (Persian in people), or other branches driven here by mainstream Persians.

As a nomadic tribe that appears in front of the world as a "robber", compared with Hindus who settled in the Indus Valley, the Islamists obviously have an advantage in force, but like the gangsters in later generations, their force is not much higher than that of ordinary people, and they are just not afraid of death and are willing to do so.

These people are definitely not worth mentioning when they meet truly well-trained masters. Huslen and others are such people.

In the past, when he was in Truchen, since most of the cavalry came from nomadic tribes, they were extremely brave and even more brave after blessing the weapons of the Dian Certificate. However, the Assams, Arakans, and Bangladeshis, who were used to the humid and hot weather in South Asia were not like this.

Therefore, if there is no one like Huslen rushing ahead, the final result will be really unpredictable.

But with Huslen rushing, the reconnaissance battalion immediately rushed the Beiluzhi light cavalry, so the remaining Baloch people ran away in panic.

At this time, the deputy battalion commander Assam who performed very well in the military academy was in high spirits. He urged the horse to catch up.

"Slow!"

Huslen stopped him.

"Our horses are only suitable for short-range and short-term charges. The deserts are everywhere and mountains are everywhere. They are riding Mongolian horses that are good at wading through mountains and rivers. How can they catch up?"

"Then..."

The deputy battalion commander wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his feelings were still unsatisfactory.

"Immediately conduct an interrogation of the injured prisoners, and then pass the message to the army behind!"

....

Half a day later, Huriji, who was about thirty miles away from Huslen, received a message from him.

"The Brigade Commander, there are three things worth noting"

"First, there are more than ten tribes like this one above. After this tribe loses, it will inevitably notify the big tribe. The more you encounter, the greater the obstacles you encounter"

"Second, they will definitely notify Mir Ali Khan of Hyderabad City that he might set up an ambush along the way"

"Third, this is the most critical. In the middle of the wasteland road between Karachi and Hyderabad, there is a Tanobla River that crosses through. There is an ancient city called Tanobla"

(Tanobullahan County, later in the Beiluzhi Province)

"This place is not a place where Islamists gather, but a place where Hindus gather. There are about 3,000 Hindus households. Almost all Islamic nomadic tribes that invaded the Indus River Basin will not destroy the tribe, because as long as they control their Brahmins and Kshatriya, they can collect 3,000 Shudra serfs"

"Although Mir Ali Khan moved to Hyderabad City, his mother still lives in Tanobula, and with some other relatives, she enjoys the offerings of Hindus"

"Oh? What your battalion commander means..."

"The Brigade Commander, according to the information provided by the prisoners, there is a huge Hindu temple there. It is said that anyone who receives the Brahmanization can enter the Kshatriya class without the need to undergo the Brahman test. This temple has existed for hundreds of years, and the Hindus here have always adhered to this tradition."

"The nomadic tribes around obviously know these, so for thousands of years, the Islamic tribes around here have used this point to conquer this place, and then used the Hindus here as their serfs. It is precisely because of this that Buddhism in the Indus River Basin and Hinduism have risen and fallen several times, and I don't know how many times it has been destroyed by the nomadic tribes"

"But the Hindus here still exists"

Hu Riji nodded, "This is probably their own way of protecting themselves. Lower your posture and serve one enemy after another. The enemy finally left or perished, but they survived."

"This matter is very important, I need to discuss it with Your Highness"

Soon, the later Toure also got the news.

After a while of discussion, Toure's order came.

"Continue the march, stop when you arrive at the Tanobra River, and camp there"

....

Two days later, three brigades met at Lulihabad, who converged with the Karu River.

That night, Toure personally led a brigade to the city of Tanobula, thirty miles north!

Although it was a rapid move, it was impossible to completely cover up your whereabouts in this wasteland, let alone a brigade army.

It was already dawn when I arrived here. I stood on a deserted hill opposite the castle, and I could see the castle and the surrounding farmland.

This is the widest place in the valley. In addition to the Tanobla River, there are several rivers that converge. However, most of them have continuous water surfaces only during the rainy season. Most of the rivers are intermittent nowadays.

On a large oasis, a deserted hill about three or four hundred meters rose up. Toure had undergone a ritual of Brahmanization in Bangladesh and barely read the French-translated Brahman scriptures. This way, we can understand why they chose this place as a gathering place for Hindus.

This deserted hill is not a mound that can be seen everywhere in the Hulu Branch wasteland, but a stone mountain!

The bottom of the stone mountain is steep and straight, and the above is layered, the narrower the higher it goes up. The top is round, which is obviously artificially carved, but the other mountain is almost exactly the same as the Brahmin temple he saw in Bangladesh!

The steep and straight part at the bottom is about fifty meters high. Although the above part is layered, it is obviously hollowed out, so it becomes a stone city that is integrated!

Obviously, the nobles above Kshatriya lived in this hollowed-out stone city. Kshatriya often took charge of the army. The elite troops of this castle were obviously also inside. From here, you can see that a hole similar to a wall was exposed in the stone city every other section, which was obviously used for combat.

"Usually there are windows behind these holes that can be pulled down. When there is no battle, there are families. The male master in each family is the warrior of Kshatriya. The higher the level of the warrior, the higher the level. If the bottom layer is an ordinary soldier, then each upper layer is a higher level officer. The upper layer is the real temple, which is the place where the Brahmin priests live"

"Now it is obviously occupied by Mir Ali Khan's relatives"

"The gate was not seen at the steep bottom of the fifty-meter high, only the vine ladder was vaguely visible. If there was enough water in the stone city, it would have been completely safe for a year and a half. Unfortunately, there were very few people in the Kshatriya class, and the layers of temples themselves mean that the sacred classes are insurmountable"

"So, once the foreign nomadic tribes arrive here, they can easily occupy the outer city with only one earth wall outside. Once the outer city is out, the nobles of the stone city will become water without a source and have to surrender"

"They allow the enemy to live in the temple at the top. In addition to helplessness, they may also have the intention to declare to the outside world. It means that you can come and become our masters, but you cannot destroy our religious structure. The Shudra outside the city can serve us and you."

"It is undesirable for any enemy to take down the castle without a strong attack, and for Shudra outside, they are Hindus with strong beliefs. As long as Kshatriya and Brahmins recognize it, they are naturally nothing."

"Did you just survive like this for hundreds of years? Where did the Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva's faith in your hearts go?"

The sudden arrival of the Truchens initially made Tanobra feel turbulent, and then quickly calmed down.

"I am the enemy. Mir Ali Khan, who lives in Hyderabad City in the east, will not sit idly by. Do you expect me to be the master here like him?"

When I looked again, I saw a temple in the outer city, which looked like a miniature version of the stone city. Tulei felt aroused and he soon had an idea.

Tanobla has only three city gates, and the city gates are carved with statues of the three great gods, Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. Toure is not polite, so he asked his three regiments to station outside the three city gates.

He himself followed the First Regiment to station around a mile in front of the stone gate with Vishnu reliefs.

"Among the three great Brahmin gods, Brahma is the creation god, Shiva is the fighting god, and only Vishnu is the master of peace. They left a temple at the foot of the mountain, obviously not for the convenience of the Shudra outside to conduct prayers and sacrificial rituals, but for peace... Haha"

"For the people here, it is obviously not the best solution to report to Mir Ali Khan in Hyderabad City as soon as possible. In the war, the outer city was easily destroyed and a large number of Shudras were killed. So how do Brahmins live in the Kshatriya in the Stone City?"

Sure enough, not long after he was stationed, a few people came out of Vishnu's Gate.

Toure thought about it and asked someone to decorate his tent.

There is also a statue on the top of his tent, with three great gods carved on it.

Then there was a special thing hanging on the tent door of the Vishnu Gate.

Cedidan!

This is what the Brahmins hold in their hands when traveling to show their identity. Generally speaking, they are tied together with three slender wooden sticks, which is equivalent to a walking stick. The heads of the stick often have flags and ornaments representing the family.

The most noble Brahmin high priest was made of three rosewood that represented the three great gods, and the head of the stick was three statues. This is the one in Toure's hand!

In the past, in order to stabilize the country, the Mughal Emperor enthroned a large number of Brahmin families as governors of the presidency (one province or one state). Indians called it Nawab. Only Nawab and provincial Brahmin temples were qualified to hold this stick.

Sure enough, the three people who came here all looked as if they were ascetic, but they all had cherry dildons in their hands, but they were all ordinary wood and ornaments.

The three of them were shocked when they saw the Cedidan on the Toure tent. It has been a few years since the Great Cedidan in the Indus River Basin disappeared. In the past 100 years, only a small number of Brahmin temples have existed, and they have been completely occupied by Islamic temples. A large number of Brahmins either fled to the Maratha Plateau or entered the desert to take refuge.

So there was no Nawab, and no temple for ordinary Brahmins to worship!

They were in a corner, and obviously didn't know that there was a figure called Toure in Bangladesh to the east.

The three of them thought about it, and then they sat cross-legged. An old man with white hair and beard sat in the front, and the other two sat behind him.

And inside, Toure, dressed in a Brahman noble, was sitting upright opposite them, and his hand shape was also a big handprint!

The old man with white hair: "Who are you?"

Toure: "I am me"

The old man with white hair: "Where is the other side"

Toure: "I am the other side"

Although he was a Brahmin high priest who sold dog meat with a sheep's head, Toure spent more than ten years learning Sanskrit.

Sanskrit, even in India, is understood by only a very small number of people, but as a writing text, it is still valued by Brahminism, and finally gradually evolved into a language that only Brahmin priests mastered. This is also one of the secrets of Brahminism's unbreakable class concepts.

At this time, Brahmanism developed, because of its military and foreign religions, especially the prosperity of Islamic Buddhism, Brahman nobles declined a little. The most serious place was almost the nobles who were specially worshipped by the Kharitaries, far away from other people's fireworks. They were indeed nobles, but they were nudged nobles.

However, they still mastered the temples and classics, and most of them were written in Sanskrit. In order to maintain the purity of their own bloodline and their superior power, even Kshatriya could not learn this language.
