Chapter 564 Knight

Chu Hu strode forward, and people made way wherever he passed.●⌒,

He seems to have a speechless deterrent force, which makes people automatically avoid it.

"What a big man!"

A row of cold tents were covered with long tables, and a group of great Han officers dressed in red and blue were sitting there, and they also saw Chu Hu coming.

Chu Hu really praised them. He was at least two meters tall, a big black bear-like figure, a shiny bald head, a rope armor, a waist knife on his waist, and two double-edged axes on his back. It was obvious that he was produced by a big man.

But the most eye-catching thing is not only his huge figure, but his two big hands at this time, holding a handful of hair in one hand.

Not just hair, but there is a human head under every handful of hair.

The human head that had not dried up was as if he had just pulled back a bunch of potatoes from the ground, and he carried one bunch of iron armor in one hand and the axe on his back were still stained with blood.

Chu Hu strode to the front of the case under the tent.

He stood there hesitated for a while, then raised the two big strands of heads in his hand.

There were thirteen on the left and twelve on the right. Liu Muzhi had already counted secretly. He was surprised. Could it be that these heads were all captured by this great man?

Chu Hu stood there, raising his head with both hands, but didn't know what to say.

He can't speak Chinese.

At this time, Liu Muzhi took the initiative to get up and asked Chu Hudao in fluent Mongolian dialect, "What do you call a warrior and which tribe?"

Chu Hu didn't know how to communicate with the Han people, but he didn't expect that they spoke such fluent Mongolian language and breathed a sigh of relief.

"My name is Chu Hu'er, from Tumote's tribe."

"It turned out to be a warrior from the Tumot tribe, but I don't know if it was Dong Tumot or Xi Tumot?"

Tumote has a long history. It is said that their ancestors were the Xianbei Tuoba, and they were originally Xianbei people. They were also called the Trojan Turk in the Tang Dynasty. They were also called Dubo, and Liao and Jin Dynasties were called Tubu. By the Yuan Dynasty, they were already Mongolians.

In fact, this is also normal. This is the case with nomadic tribes on the grassland, and they often fight and annex. However, they will never leave their ranks. Xianbei Tuoba, known as Dongyi, also known as Suolu, were the Hu people who made their sons.

Starting from the Yuan Dynasty, it was ruled by the Mongols and gradually became a branch of the Mongols. Both speaking and living habits were the same as those of the Mongols.

In general, they are all descendants of the Xianbei Tuoba, called Tubasi in Mongolia, and called the Mongols of Linmuren. They were conquered after resisting Genghis Khan and became Mongolians.

After the Tumots defected to Mongolia, they were ordered to guard the 12 passes of Mount Altai during the Great Mongol Empire and were called "Twelve Tumots". In the 15th century, they moved to the rich land of Yinshan and Tumochuan, and became the famous Mongolian right-wing Tumotvanhu.

Since Genghis Khan established the Mongolian Khanate, the territorial feudal system has been implemented, with the Golden Family or the heroes of Genghis Khan also serving as the heads of ten thousand households, thousands households and local officials. During this turbulent period, the eastern Mongolian tribes jointly formed six major tribal groups and divided into the left and right wings. In the early 16th century, the left wing Mongolia was composed of the Chahar, Khalkha, and Urianha tribes, and the right wing Mongolia was composed of the Tumot, Ordos, and Yongshebu tribes.

After Dayan Khan revived and unified the eastern Mongolian tribes. Dayan Khan divided the five ten thousand households of the left and right wing, except for the ten thousand households of the Urianha, to his descendants. Among them, the Tumot part of the right wing was granted to his fourth son Alsuborot.

More than a hundred years ago, only two years after Dayan Khan's death, his son inherited the Khan throne for only two years and died. Therefore, Changsun succeeded to the throne. At that time, according to Mongolian tradition, various tribes issued another feudal of property and land to the pasture and tribes. At that time, Altan, the second son of Balsborot, who was only 13 years old at the time, was the younger brother of the new Great Khan, the Northern Yuan Bodi Arak Khan, who had divided most of the Tumotwanhu and became the supreme leader of the Tumotwanhu.

Altan, who later Altan Khan.

Altan Khan was the grandson of Dayan Khan and a famous leader in Mongolia. He rose during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. His tribe was nomadic in the area of ​​the current *******, Inner Mongolia in the early days, and later gradually became stronger and drove the sect leader Chahar to Liaodong. He became the leader of the right-wing Mongolia, and his control range started from Xuanhua in the east, north of Datong, west to Hetao, north to the Gobi Desert in the north, and south to the Great Wall. Later, in order to open up a ranch, he conquered Qinghai, and even once used troops to Tibet.

He also came to the city of Beijing and forced the Ming Dynasty to open up trade. The Ming Dynasty was forced to open up Xuanfu and trade horses with Mongolia in Datong. After several wars and afterwards, the Ming Dynasty conferred Altan Khan as King of Shunyi and opened eleven border trade ports.

After Altan Khan, his wife, the third wife, ruled the right wing of Mongolia for 30 years, restrained the Mongolian tribes and maintained a peaceful and tribute-to-trade relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

During the time of Anda Khan, the power of the right-wing Tumot Altan Khan grew rapidly. To the east, it was the pasture of the Doyan Urianha people. At that time, when the Chahar tribes on the left went south to control the northern tribes of the Urianha people, Altan Khan fought for control of the southern tribes of the Urianha people.

At that time, in order to manage and control these Urianha tribes, Altan Khan sent his eldest son, Sinai Huang Taiji, with his descendants, to lead some of the Tumot tribes to migrate east from the Tumochuan area, and to the Mantaur area of ​​Dushi and Jizhou outside the border of Xuanfu, and to join the herds of the Urianha people in the southeast.

Later, when Altan Khan died, Xin Ai Huang Taiji returned to Hohhot to inherit the Khan's throne and Shunyi, and then married the third lady. His territory in Dongtumot was led by his son Gartu, and he continued to join the Urianha people in the pastoral period.

When Lin Dankhan's era was in the era of Lin Dankhan, the left-wing Chahar became stronger again. Lin Dankhan planned to imitate the Dayan Khan and reunify the Mongolian tribes. While he refused to surrender to the Later Jin Dynasty, he launched an annexation war against Dongtumot.

In this war, the Dongtumote tribe was eventually defeated. After the defeat, the Dongtumote tribe, led by Ombuchu Huer, the son of Gartu, surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty. After they surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty, they moved east from their original garrison Mantaoer to the nomadic area of ​​Chaoyang, now in Liaoyang.

After they arrived in Chaoyang, they continued to have close contact with Urianha and had a closer marriage. The Urianha people also became the Tabunam of the Golden Family, the son-in-law.

In the ninth year of Tiancong of the Later Jin Dynasty, the Later Jin Dynasty conferred Ombuchuhuer as Zasak, and combined his tribes and the land of the garrison to the Tumot right-wing banner. Manguerdai, a native of Tabununguliangha who married Dongtumot, moved to Fuxin area near Chaoyang during the Later Jin Dynasty. He also led the Mongolian Lejin Mongols in the Tumot tribe. In the third year of Tiancong of the Later Jin Dynasty, Shanba, the grandson of Manguerdai, led his troops to join the Later Jin Dynasty. The Later Jin Dynasty organized the Shanba tribe into the Tumot left-wing banner and named him Zasak.

Therefore, the Dongtumot tribe formed a situation where the golden family Taiji and Urianha "Tabunang" had different surnames and the same maid.

The Huh Hote headquarters where Altan Khan is located is called Xitumot. When Altan Khan was powerful, he once imitated the Yuan Dynasty and the Beijing City, between the south of Daqing Mountain and the Heihe River. A grassland city, Kuku and Tun, means a blue city. Since then, he has continued to build an outer city that lasts twenty miles long and established a grassland handmade manufacturing industry, which has increased the urban population year by year, and this grassland city has a larger scale.

In the past century, it was extremely prosperous.

However, after Altan Khan, the Feng Shui changed. When he arrived at Lin Dan Khan, the Chahar tribe who was driven to Liaodong was killed again. After defeating Dongtumot, they advanced to the right-wing Mongolian area, defeating Kalaqin, Tumot and other tribes one after another. They occupied ******* and controlled the vast area of ​​right-wing Mongolia. At that time, Tumot Boshoketu Khan (the fourth-generation grandson of Altan Khan) fled to Ordos and died the following year. His tribes were unwilling to be enslaved by Lin Dan Khan and fled everywhere. Tumot's tribe was in a state of disintegration.

After the Later Jin Dynasty expedition to Chahar in the west, he realized the importance of the strategic location of the Western Tumote region and understood that it could control the north and west of the desert in the north. It could control Mongolia in the south, and compete with the Central Plains to attack the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, Tumote was also a large tribe of Mongolia at that time, especially had a strong prestige, second only to Chahar in the sect leader, so he remained at the garrison of the generals.

Huang Taiji changed the Later Jin Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and the Jurchens divided the remaining herder Dkou, the Western Tumot tribe, into the left and right wings, each with a banner, and appointed two new banner owners. However, these two banner owners were not descendants of Altan Khan, in order to eradicate the rule of the Golden Family over Tumot.

Today, Tumote is divided into two major parts: east and west. Tumote in the eastern part moves north from northwest Liao and is in the southern desert province. Tumote in the western part is in Suiyuan Province, north of Shanxi Province.

But whether it is the two-wing flag of Dongtumot or the two-wing flag of Xitumot, after experiencing the civil war between the left and right wings of Mongolia and the suppression of the Jurchens, their population has been sharply shouted, the pastures have been reduced, and their territory has been continuously compressed, and their strength has been greatly reduced.

Originally, the Jurchens moved Chahar to the north of Datong and divided the four banners. The territories enfeoffed by the eight counties of Chahar in the Han Dynasty were actually all the territory of Tumote in the past.

Now Tumot is divided into two parts: east and west, each divided into six counts, and a total of four earls, as well as a large group of viscount barons, etc.

Therefore, Chu Huguang's words about Tumote are simply difficult to tell.

"The left-wing front banner of Dongtumot's tribe." Chu Hu said.

Liu Muzhi immediately understood that the left wing of Dongtumot was the tribe of the original Tarbunamurdah of the Tabunamuryanha of the Golden Family.

To put it carefully, the left wing of Dongtumot is actually not the Tumots, they are from Urianha, and they can only be said to be the in-laws of the Tumots.

Moreover, the Han Dynasty divided the Mongolian divisions. The original two winged flags of the East and West Tumote have now become six counties. In fact, they have been divided from four flags into twelve flags, which have been diluted three times.

However, now the Han Dynasty does not call the Mongolian tribes the alliance banner, but the prefectures and counties, and is affiliated with the provinces.

The Dongtumot left-wing front banner is actually Yiminfu, Mosan Province, and also a woye County in Wu'an Prefecture, Mosan Province.

In one place, there are two management systems, one is the central court and the other is the feudal princes. However, no matter whether it is the prefectures established by the court or the vassal territories enthroned by the court, the names no longer have tribal names.

The four-wing twelve flags in the East and West Tumot have all been changed to names like Wu'an Prefecture Woye County, and there is no trace of their connection from the surface.

This was also intentional for the court to split the divisions carefully, then split them into various places in a mess, and then gradually fade the connection between them, and finally make them two completely unfamiliar territories, rather than two sub-tribes under one tribe.

"Chu Warrior, are these your achievements?"

"Yes, Han lords, these are all Korqin people killed by Chu Hu himself, a total of twenty-five." Chu Hu proudly raised the heads in his hands high, with more than twenty heads floating lightly in his hands, as if they were not weighed at all.

A sergeant came forward and looked carefully.

“All young and strong.”

Chu Hu'er shouted, "These are the Korqin people I killed with my own hands. They are all vicious warriors, but they were all killed by the more brave Chu Hu'er."

"The Emperor of Han promised that each rebel man could exchange for ten silver dollars, but would he still count it?"

"The Emperor of the Great Han Dynasty's saints and words are of course counted. Here, twenty-five heads, I will give you 250 silver dollars immediately." Liu Muzhi said immediately.

"No, no, no, Han general, I don't need silver dollars."

Liu Muzhi was a little surprised, "If the emperor of the Han Dynasty said he would give it."

"That's right, I want to exchange for some other things with the head." Chu Hu'er said.

"That's no problem. We have all kinds of commercial products, including tea, tobacco, liquor, even salt, grain, weapons, etc. If you want to change it, I recommend that you actually receive the reward first and then use money to buy it, which is more convenient."

"Oh, sir, you don't understand what I mean. I don't want money, tea, tobacco and alcohol. I want to use these twenty-five heads to exchange for a title."

"Change the title?" Liu Muzhi was surprised.

"What, can't it be? I'm the bravest warrior on the left wing of Dongtumer, and he cut off twenty-five Korchin warriors by himself. Am I not a brave warrior? I hope to use these heads to exchange for a knight's title."

Speaking of the latter, seeing that Liu Muzhi had no reaction, he said, "It really doesn't work, it's okay to change to a samurai title."

Liu Muzhi had already come to his senses at this time.

He smiled, "Do you really want to exchange military merit for titles? I have to tell you that although these warriors and knights are also called titles, they are not lords of princes. Even if they are given titles, the court cannot divide the fiefs for you."

The titles given to Mongolian princes, starting from the marquis, including the Marquis of Kaiguo County, the Marquis of Kaiguo County, the Prince of Kaiguo County, the Zizi of Kaiguo County, and the Male of the Lord, as well as the sixth level of the Lord.

Among them, Hou Bozi and Nanxun can be called lords and can obtain a piece of territory granted by the court, but the lord can only obtain a piece of fief. Hou Bozi and Nanxun are called princes. They have great rights over their territory, such as having most administrative, judicial, military and financial powers, having guards within the specified number of titles, and taxes in the territory can be obtained by one-third.

The knight and samurai knight were actually newly added later and are considered as a supplement.

They cannot even be considered titles, they can only be said to be titles.
