When Xia Xun rushed to Dunhuang, he saw more than ten people and horses of various sizes waiting in formation from a distance. He could not help but be moved after just one glance. Chinese website
If you want to gain a foothold in the Western Regions, you have to constantly fight against the sky and the people. Without a strong armed force, you can't do it. Among the teams in front of you, the two largest men and horses on the left and right are wearing Mongolian-style robes and furs.
A, flying the flag of the Ming Dynasty, is obviously the Mongolian officers and soldiers of Shazhou Guard and Handong Guard, while the other smaller cavalry are naturally the personal soldiers raised by the powerful and wealthy families of Shazhou.
Whether it is the officers and soldiers of Dunhuang Guards or the private soldiers of those wealthy families, although the formations are not neat, they all reveal the murderous aura of Chongxiao. That kind of aura can never be expressed through training alone. They have obviously had
A true warrior who has fought hundreds of battles on the battlefield.
"Enter!"
Xia Xun's thousand cavalry in front were about one point, urging the horses forward. Although the number of people and horses on Shazhou was much smaller than those in front of the formation, they were able to completely overwhelm them in terms of momentum. This was Ganliang Jingqi, speaking of murderous intent.
They were no worse than their opponents, and the neatness of the team was a hundred times better. Even when they were marching, they were as monolithic, as if the entire team was lifting the reins at the same time, stepping at the same time, and moving at the same time.
It is as motionless as a mountain, yet as slow as a forest.
This is a truly mighty and battle-hardened army. The neat clothing and weapons and equipment make the shock brought by this uniformity even more intense. The local generals and powerful families in Dunhuang were heartbroken when they saw it, and they felt a little sad in their hearts.
The arrogance is gone. No wonder such a noble man as Fu Guogong dares to come to the Western Regions to take risks at this moment. Such an iron cavalry is really impressive.
Handong Guard commander Suinan and his colleagues joined forces to attack. Shazhou Guard commander Kunji and Maijia led the Shazhou officials and gentry to greet them immediately.
"The last general, Han Dongwei, who is commanding Suinan, has met Duke Fu!"
"The last general, Han Dongwei, commanded his colleagues to join forces to attack, and I have seen Duke Fu!"
"Shazhou Ma Kui, welcome the Duke!"
After the ceremony was completed, Kun Ji, the commander of the Shazhou Guards, said: "I heard that there were horse thieves on the national highway? This is because the subordinates are not managing the place well. Please punish me!"
The cavalry sent to meet him had already heard some rumors and hurried back to report. Kun Ji and others had just heard about it and felt a little uneasy after hearing it, so they apologized to Xia Xun as soon as they saw him.
Xia Xun smiled lightly and said: "In the Central Plains, there are ten cities in one city, and there are still Xiaoxiao who do evil. In the Western Region, there are thousands of miles of yellow sand, and there is no human habitation. The cities are far apart, so a few thieves are nothing."
He looked back, and Feng Suiyan immediately waved his hand, and hundreds of people were escorted out of the formation. Feng Suiyan said proudly: "A swarm of bees in the Western Region were so bold that they attacked the official guard of honor. The leader of the thief, Batu, has already been beheaded, and more than 100 thieves escaped with five thousand horses.
Riding, the rest of those who survived are all here!"
Feng splityan's words immediately caused an uproar among the dignitaries of Dunhuang.
They only heard that the Duke's team encountered horse thieves on the way, and they thought it was some blind little bandit who kicked the iron plate, but they did not expect that it was actually a swarm of swarms in the Western Region, the most powerful force of horse thieves in the entire Western Region, let alone
Thinking that they actually dispatched five thousand people, this was almost half of the swarm.
Look at the men and horses of Duke Fu in front of us. They only have 3,000 in total. Once there is a battle, at least a thousand cavalry must be left to protect the Duke, right? Then the actual number of participants in the war is estimated to be only 2,000 at most. Two thousand versus five thousand, "a swarm of bees"
There were five thousand elite cavalry, but only a hundred of them escaped. Even Basa's brother Batu was killed on the spot. This...
The powerful gentry in Shazhou have been dealing with the Ba family for many years. If they can conquer the Ba family, how can they allow the Ba family to be proud of the Western Regions for so many years? The strength of the two sides is basically evenly matched, and Fu Guogong can
With less to win, he could cleanly eliminate the well-prepared horse thieves without much loss. Such combat power immediately impressed the powerful people in Shazhou.
When they saw Batu's frozen head, they looked at Xia Xun with nothing but awe.
These Shazhou dignitaries, including Hanwei and the commanders of the two Shazhou guards, are nominally ministers and people of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the imperial decrees are difficult to reach. Therefore, they are the local emperors. Originally, they just submitted.
After they came to Ming Dynasty and accepted the official positions of Ming Dynasty, all local systems and political structures remained unchanged. Unlike the Central Plains, where the three divisions were separated and officials were stationed, the local military, political and judicial affairs were all in their hands.
The place that you rule has greater power than the vassal king who just vassal the area. In fact, it is a country within a country.
Therefore, the courtesy they showed when they first met Xia Xun was largely just official politeness. In their hearts, they did not take this passing prince seriously, but now they really respected him.
In this place, only fists are recognized. Whoever has a bigger fist will be respected. Xia Xun killed the swarm of bees who dared to offend like a melon and vegetables, and immediately gained their awe.
After the ceremony was over, the Shazhou dignitaries welcomed Xia Xun into the city and entered the mansion of Shazhou Guard Commander Kun Ji.
Xia Xun noticed that the architecture of Kunji's mansion was in an obvious Islamic style. It was obvious that he was also a Muslim. Xia Xun lived a life full of bells and dinners in Jinling City. In his imagination, this place in this thousand-mile desert
No matter how wealthy an oasis is, its environmental benefits are limited. However, once entering Kunji's mansion, one is surprised to find that the luxury and wealth here is comparable to that of a prince, and the desolation seen on the road is completely gone.
What surprised him even more was that there was wine at the banquet.
In fact, this is Xia Xun's misunderstanding. Just like the original teaching of Buddhism was to abstain from eating meat, this meat is not the current concept. What we call meat now was called fishy at that time, and meat refers to the five pungents, that is,
Garlic, green onions, green onions, orchid green onions, Xingqu. As for meat, monks would eat whatever the donor gave to them, and there were no special requirements. Until the time of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, he believed that since he abstained from killing animals, he should not eat meat.
The imperial edict has become today's commandment.
The Muslim saint Muhammad also had a process of prohibiting alcohol. At first, he only tried to prevent believers from getting drunk. Later, he prohibited believers from drinking before praying. However, alcohol is really not a good thing. You will vomit after being drunk. It is still light nonsense.
It is not uncommon for people to make trouble with alcohol and cause intentional harm, so the Qur'an stipulates that alcohol is not allowed.
However, this ban also has a gradual implementation process. In the initial stage, it is not possible for all believers to ban alcoholic beverages. When we look at the One Thousand and One Nights, most of them are stories from Islamic countries, the caliphs, princes, ministers, and judges.
, including scholars, poets, singers, musicians, etc., often attended drinking parties and even got drunk. These were all portrayals of the upper class society at that time.
At present, the lame emperor Tamerlane who launched the Holy War in the East was also an alcoholic hero. It is not surprising that the originally alcoholic Mongolians in the Western Regions who converted to Islam still maintain their drinking habits.
The spacious and gorgeous living room was filled with exotic fragrances from other countries in the Western Regions. On the scarlet carpet, a group of graceful and charming girls from the Western Regions danced to the exotic songs, accompanied by officials and gentry.
Xia Xun, singing and dancing to help the wine, drinking very happily.
It was rare to see such an authentic song and dance from the Western Regions. Xia Xun watched it with gusto. Kun Ji, Suinan and others couldn't help but smile knowingly when they saw it. They only gave a brief gesture. When the song and dance ended, these people were in full bloom and fragrant.
The beauty did not retreat, but moved to the banquet. Next to Xia Xun, Feng Huiyan, Saihazhi and other court officials, they sat down and began to serve the wine diligently. Baidu Jinyi Night Post Bar Huangmen Neipin provides the fastest text

Sehazhi was a Tatar official with a bold temperament, and he was very familiar with this trick. He immediately grinned widely, and with just one arm lift, he hugged the beauty onto his knees and hugged her slender waist.
, asked her to take a sip of the wine, then pouted her big mouth and leaned forward. On the other hand, Fengchuyan was even more familiar with the situation. He had already tightly blocked the girl's lips with a bloody mouth, and a big hand was still there.
Her chest moved like a dough ball.
Only the two beauties nestling next to Xia Xun had not been treated like this. They couldn't help but hugged Xia Xun's arms, and took the initiative to move the plump, erect, round and moving parts up to them.
Xia Xun was a little overwhelmed. He couldn't compare with these heroes from the Western Regions who had been exposed to this kind of behavior since he was a child. Brother Xia would be shy if he behaved like this in public. Although... the soft bounce from his elbow
It feels quite comfortable too.
Xia Xun hurriedly sat upright, as if he suddenly remembered something interesting, got rid of the entanglement of the two girls, smiled at Kun Ji and others: "Ah! After seeing the singing and dancing at the banquet today, my Lord suddenly remembered something
Here's the thing. In my house, there are two Qiuci dancers who are also good at dancing from the Western Regions. They usually sing and chant in the house to entertain the foreign ministers while drinking. However, the environment in Jinling is not as good as that in the Western Regions. I always feel a little out of place. It's not as good as
Ask them to come out and perform and let everyone enjoy it together!"
Xia Xun was so interested, of course everyone wanted to support him, and everyone agreed. In a moment, two enchanting beauties wearing peach colored dance clothes, flared trousers and dance skirts at the waist, holding pipa in their arms, and looking like flying in the sky walked up to the hall.
.
When everyone took a look, these two women had blond hair, blue eyes, and proud figures. They were very beautiful and enchanting. Their smiles on their faces were like spring flowers blooming. They danced freely and walked lightly. They made people feel fascinated at the sight of them and couldn't help but shout in unison.
Cheers.
Kun Ji looked at it with a familiar feeling. After looking carefully for a long time, he vaguely remembered that he had spent a lot of money to buy two excellent beauties from Hu merchants in the Western Regions. They seemed to be from Qiuci, because they were fawning over each other at that time.
Song Sheng of Xiliang reluctantly gave up his love and gave it to General Song as a gift. Could it be these two girls in front of him? If it was them..., then it must have been given to Duke Fu by General Song.
I heard that the Duke said that they had lived in the Jinling Mansion, so it was not a gift that the Duke only accepted during his tour of the Western Regions. In this case, General Song had already been ingratiating himself with Duke Fu...
Kun Ji didn't know much about Xia Xun's power in the Ming court. In his eyes, the only person he feared and fawned over the most was Song Sheng. But General Song, whom he tried his best to fawn over, was just like him. He tried his best to fawn over the handsome young man in front of him.
A young prince wearing a robe, wide sleeves and a high crown, one can imagine the power of this prince.
Thinking of this, Kun Ji didn't dare to neglect Xia Xun anymore.
