Chapter 1515 The situation(1/2)
After Zhang Wen finished speaking, the whole hall was buzzing with discussion.
Before today, no one could have imagined that after the defeat of the Northern Huns, in just one year, there would be tribes on the grassland with a fighting strength of nearly 10,000!
this is too scary!
This is already the case for the Changlin tribe, what about other tribes?
What about those tribes with deeper and stronger foundations?
Will there be a super tribe with tens of thousands of cavalry?
Is this possible?
Even Zhi showed a solemn expression.
Zhang Wen still had a relaxed expression, but his hand moved far north from where the Changlin tribe was, arriving at an area on the edge of the desert.
This place is called "Xixunyuan" on the Han army map.
It is said to be an area of mixed sand dunes and grasslands moving along the desert towards the south of Tokushima.
The local area produces livestock called 'luta', which are now very popular.
"In my opinion, the Changlin tribe does not pose much of a threat to my Han family..." Zhang Wen said with a smile: "However, in my humble opinion, the creeps here must be a thorn in their side!"
"The Xixue people were after Donghu. When the Xiongnu Maodun Chanyu destroyed Donghu, they moved Donghu captives to Xixueyuan and asked them to guard the desert in and out of Munan..."
"In order to humiliate these Donghu prisoners of war, Modu contemptuously called these people 'worms', which means insects..."
"For seventy or eighty years, the creeps have been on the edge of the desert, befriending the sand dunes and keeping them company. Their living habits have become increasingly barbaric..."
"Even among the Huns, a creep is a synonym for a simple-minded and stupid person..."
"However...are they really that stupid?"
Zhang Wen looked at the map with a serious look and said to Zhi Du: "Judging from the information about the creeps that I have and come into contact with, these creeps are not simple..."
"After the Xiongnu retreated to the north, one of the creeping clans, named Wumuti, immediately led his warriors to attack other creeping clans and unified all the creeping clans within three months..."
"So he established himself on a hill in the eastern part of the Weiwei Plain and named him 'Xiwei Khan', which means the Lord of the Country. He called himself the King of Weiwei, and he was different from the Huns and Donghu people..."
"Then he marched his army southward, nibbling along the way, conquering and annexing dozens of tribes, large and small! So far, Weiwei Khan Wumuti has at least 5,000 cavalry under his command..."
Although, the number of this so-called creeping army that I have never even heard of is at least half less than the military strength of the Changlin tribe.
However, all the Han army officers and nobles who listened to Zhang Wen's introduction had serious faces, sword hilts in their hands, and murderous intent.
Zhidu's eyes were wide open with anger, and his fighting spirit was already boiling.
At this moment, the hostility towards Weiwei surpassed all other Tokugawa tribes in the hearts of all Han army officers.
because……
Only names and tools cannot be faked!
The creeps have crossed the Han army's red line!
They actually made themselves kings!
They actually started from scratch and planned to build a brand new nomadic system!
It is tolerable, but what is intolerable!
In an instant, the creepy man rose to be the number one enemy of the Han army!
The most intolerable thing was Xia Yi, the Shanyu of Guiyi. He jumped out almost immediately and said to Zhidu: "General, the Xixue people have betrayed Tian Shanyu and betrayed the gods. This Shanyu begged the general to use Xixue
As the first target, Wei Wei must be destroyed!"
Of course Squirrel must perish!
If Xixue does not die, he, the Guiyi Chanyu, will be killed by Smecta.
The butt determines the head. Even if Xia Yi dies, he will not let the creepy people challenge his status.
"These despicable bugs!" Xia Yi mentally recalled the creepy people he had seen in the past. They were dirty, despicable, and stupid. They were untouchables on the grassland, absolute slaves, and untouchables.
Now, these untouchables are actually going to ride on his head!
Just thinking about it makes Xia Yi feel sick!
"Chanyu, don't worry, I have the sacred mandate to destroy the creeps!" Zhi Du immediately gave a 100% guarantee to Xia Yi's request.
Zhidu hated the behavior of creepy people even more than Xia Yi.
Because the creeps are challenging the majesty of the Han Emperor and the order of the Han Empire at the same time!
However, the creeps live in areas close to the desert, so it is unrealistic to send troops to eliminate them right away.
At least, before the tribes entrenched in the center of Munan were eliminated, the Han army could not fly over and beat them to death.
"Mr. Zhang, please continue..." Zhidu calmed Xia Yi down and said to Zhang Wen.
By this time, Zhidu also understood the complexity of the situation in Munan.
A tribe actually appeared that was trying to stand on its own feet and start a new business!
This is crazy and incredible.
This is just like someone in Southwest Yi or South Vietnam who clamored for a group of barbarians to rebel, then occupied a hilltop and claimed to be emperor, which would only attract endless attacks from the Han army.
There are no two suns in the sky, no two masters on the earth, and the world can only have one order, one system, and one civilization.
In the eyes of the scholar-officials and nobles of classical China, any attempt to establish a system, civilization, and writing that was completely different from China's was a declaration of war against the empire, a provocation to the civilization of the Xia Dynasty, and a blasphemy against the three kings and five emperors.
Regardless of Confucianism, Legalism, Huang Laomo, the only response to similar actions by such people is that if you want to fight, then fight!
"Promise!" Zhang Wen knew that his goal had been achieved. Wei Weiren would definitely become the number one target of the Han army's future operations, and his priority would be higher than everyone else.
In fact, as long as the Changlin tribe does not block the road, the Han army may let him go first, deal with the creeps first, and then turn around to deal with the Changlin tribe.
However, it is a pity that the chief of the Changlin tribe, Changlin Dangtu, has a very high self-esteem and is ambitious. He is still immersed in the Shanyu dream that he compiled for him, within the dream of the Changlin Empire.
This guy will probably fight to the death with the Han army.
But never mind!
Zhang Wen knew very well the roots of the Changlin people.
Zhang Wen had tampered with every weapon used by their cavalry.
Although it is said that an arms dealer who does not sell weapons to the enemy is not a good arms dealer.
But the arms dealer's own interests will drive him to take the initiative to do things that are beneficial to him.
Today, the expansion of the Han Empire is consistent with the interests of almost all merchants.
Especially Zhang Wen and the Cheng Zheng family behind him.
In a sense, it was the Han army's victory in foreign wars and continuous expansion that injected endless vitality into Han industry and commerce and created huge markets one after another.
The Han army conquered Korea and Andong, which led to the prosperity of the Andong gold rush and whaling industry.
Moreover, because of the existence of the Reclamation Group, the products of a large number of iron smelting merchants found new markets.
The attachment of Mitsukoshi not only opened up a huge emerging market with a population of millions to Han merchants, but also brought a large amount of cheap labor and a large number of business opportunities.
Judging from the current situation, the swords of the Han army are more like merchants' carriages than farmers' plows.
Since Yuande, merchants and their business opportunities have gone wherever the horses of the Han army reach.
When the interests of the country and capital are consistent, capital will not betray the country even to death.
Today's Han Dynasty capital is parasitic on the foreign wars and expansion of the Han Empire.
The expansion and conquest of the Han army brought them endless resources, wealth, markets and even cheap labor.
In this case, merchants and their capital will not deviate from the interests of their own country and nation no matter what.
Even many smart people have understood that their wealth comes from the expansion of the country, and their industry depends on the country's external expansion.
Therefore, even if they sell their livers and kidneys, they must support all external actions of the Han army.
"In addition to Weiwei, there is also a tribe named Linhu, which is also very powerful!" Zhang Wen moved his hand to the grassland hundreds of miles north of Nanchi, where the Linhu people's royal tent is today: "Linhu
Hu, you guys should be familiar with it, right?"
When Lin Hu Zhi heard this, his expression changed slightly. This was an ancient tribe that had already appeared in the annals of history during the Spring and Autumn Period. They once roamed the Daibei area together with Lou Fanren.
King Wuling of Zhao rode in Hufu and shot, and annexed Loufan Kingdom and Linhu Kingdom, and the remaining remnants went north outside the fortress.
Afterwards, Lin Hu lay dormant for decades and rose again at the end of the Warring States Period.
However, this time the Linhu people tragically encountered their natural enemy Li Mu, the famous general of the Zhao State at the end of the Warring States Period.
Lin Hu, the Xiongnu, and Lou Fan were all hung up and beaten by this military master.
After that, Lin Hu disappeared from the annals of history and was never seen again, but Lou Fanren was very active and even became one of the three carriages of the Huns.
"Lin Hu people?" A captain of Lou Fan's army stood up and asked: "Aren't they extinct long ago?"
"Twenty years ago, the last King Lin Hu died under the sword of the old Shanyu... Why did another Lin Hu appear?"
"I don't know..." Zhang Wen said with a smile. He turned to look at a merchant on the right and said to him: "Why don't you explain it to Brother Peng?"
To be continued...
