Chapter 961
Ahmed Sanjar's tone was indeed very high, but he was very cautious in his actions. He put the banner of Allah in the capital of the Khitan, but only spoke the big words in front of Ibrahim, the prince of the Karakhan. The minister he sent to meet the "Emir" of the Khitans, and Buhari, who was also a Sufi scholar, dared not say the same thing in front of the brutal and barbaric Khitans.
Although the Seljuk Turks had never fought with the Khitan, they had heard of the reputation of this empire that occupied the Great Grassland of Mobei. This is a much stronger empire than the Shangpei Stone Kingdom, which is rich in silk and porcelain!
It seems terrible to have a peach blossom stone. If you provoke a more powerful Chinese Peach Blossom Stone Khitan Kingdom, it would be a bit of a suicide.
Therefore, the mission sent by Sanjar to Balashagun was on the way with a large amount of gold, silver and treasures and humble words.
In the letter issued in the name of the Caliphate Empire, Sanjar promised that as long as the Khitan did not interfere with the war between the Caliphate Kingdom and the Song Dynasty, the Caliphate Kingdom could ced the land of the Seven Rivers and the Stone City (Tashkent) close to Fergana to the Great Liao, and would also offer more gold, silver and treasures.
If the Great Liao Kingdom agreed to the conditions of Sanjar, then Sanjar would send troops from Herat City and cross the Pamir Plateau to enter the Kashgar region.
Otherwise, he would have to wait for the escaped Karakhans in the Herat area, and then force them to turn into the river and join the Western Karakhanate to act as a meat shield to resist the Khitan's southward journey.
...
In the spring of the sixth year of Qiantong in the Great Liao Dynasty, leaves were broken.
The capital of the Karakhan Dynasty, Balashaguen, has now been renamed Ruye City. The original dilapidated Ruye City was completely abandoned after Xiao Heda led 9,000 Hexi cavalry and the same number of Persian auxiliary soldiers (the Persians captured in the Battle of Balashaguen) left.
About 9,000 strong men (most of them were Han people from the Hexi Corridor) who were recruited by the Hexi Army were left to Yelu Dashi by Xiao Heda. Now they have all moved into the "New Fragile Leaf", the original Balashaguon. I am afraid I will never be able to return to my hometown in this life, so I can only miserably follow Yelu Dashi to be a noble knight master in the unfamiliar place.
That's right, I can only be a master! I can never farm peacefully in this life and can never pay taxes honestly. I can only be a cavalry of the Heavenly Li who rides on the necks of the working people in the Western Regions to act as a mighty knight.
This is because Yelu Dashi, an ambitious conspirator, does not lack taxpayers or farmers at all. What he lacks is a knight master who can act as a minion.
As the eighth-generation grandson of Abaoji, Yelu Dashi, who was raised in accordance with the standards of the Khitan nobles since childhood, was good at martial arts competitions. The ancients knew how to establish a feudal country. A standard feudal country must be established based on a feudal military service system. The cornerstone of the feudal military service system is the master soldiers who are linked to real estate and rely on the feudal lords.
In the grass-roots team owned by Yelu Dashi, although the 30,000 Khitan herders belong to his fellow tribe, these people cannot become Dashi's crux. Because they have their own tribal organization, they have a mixed relationship network formed over hundreds of years.
Yelu Dashi can win all the loyalty of all tribe leaders, and there is no problem. After all, Dashi took them from Ye Mili to the center of the Seven Rivers and became the ruling nation. However, Dashi could not turn the warriors belonging to the tribe into their own warriors in a short period of time. This matter involves the struggle between royal power and tribes, and maybe it would be an internal strife.
So what Dashi could rely on was instead left the clan, without organization, and the nine thousand Han auxiliary soldiers who were atomized. These people had no clan organization and were far away from their homes. What other ways could they have been to protect Yelu Dashi wholeheartedly?
Yelu Dashi is a guy with strong organizational and deception skills. In history, he has never studied at the Yuntai Academy and the Knights Academy. He can even create a Western Liao Empire by self-taught. Now he can be a two-level high-level student at the Yuntai Academy PhD and the Knights Academy. What is a doctoral student? In simple terms, it is a Confucian missionary, and missionaries are professionally deceived people.
Moreover, Da Shitou also mastered the three basic theories of "nature", "practice" and "rationality". When he opened his mouth, even the Tianfang jurists in Suoye City could not say that he was. Isn't it like fooling a group of poor men in Hexi who are not educated?
"You guys, can you eat meat?"
"have!"
“Can you have a house to live in?”
"have!"
"Can there be a woman with you?"
"have!"
"Are there any land slaves?"
"Yes! All..."
"So is it fun here or Hexi?"
"This is really a paradise!"
"Okay! Since it is a paradise, we should use our troops to defeat it and protect it with heaven's principles! Would you please follow this paradise on earth and open up a beautiful country and leave it to your descendants?"
"We should follow you to the death!"
"Okay! Yelu Dashi here swears to the law of heaven, that he should share wealth and honor with all the lords of the Dr. Sailye Group, share the same fate, protect the law of heaven, and fight against evil demons!"
"Together with wealth and honor, to share destiny, to protect the laws of heaven, to fight against evil spirits..."
In the big square in front of the Shuye King City (Balakshaguen) (actually a school ground for reviewing the army), countless Hexi men wearing Central Asian style robes, carrying swords, bows, and arrows, and some of them had their front armor. They had been incited by Yelu Dashi, the leader of the Shuye Doctor's Sword and Lawrence standing on the high platform.
Da Shitou is doing ideological work for his 9,000 soldiers in his confidant department! This is also a unique military method of the Umtai Palace PhD and the Knights Academy - preaching and reasoning to soldiers! It can also be understood as brainwashing... There should have been many people doing this together, and every military officer from the Umtai Department of Military Studies must be able to preach and reasoning.
However, now Dashitou doesn't have so many doctors and officers who can reason, so he can only get on the horse himself.
After the training every morning, before the meal is served, 9,000 trusted soldiers gather in front of the Shuye King City, and Yelu Dashi repeatedly brainwashed them.
The brainwashing method is also very simple, and there is not so much complex ideology. It is "This is good, this is happy, this is the paradise of heaven, so everyone must unite to defend the paradise of heaven."
Of course, the paradise is not just empty talk. Because Yelu Dashi was Balashaguon, who had no blood, he gained a lot of spoils.
In terms of distribution of spoils, the core team of Yelu Dashi, Xiao Tieniu and Han Dagou seemed very visionary. The spoils were divided into three parts, partly given to 30,000 Khitan herders who followed from Yemili Grassland; partly given to Xiao Heda; partly one was taken by Yelu Dashi, Xiao Tieniu and Han Dagou and others, but this part of the spoils belonging to the three of them was then used to resettle 9,000 auxiliary soldiers coming from Xiao Heda.
It is not a casual distribution, but a carefully planned distribution. It is not an even distribution, but a level is divided through competitions. Those with higher levels are divided more, and those with lower levels are divided less. Without levels, it is impossible to establish a ruling group. Moreover, it is not a gold, silver, treasure, but real estate, land... and women! It is not easy to marry a wife in Hexi! Because the laws and customs of Xixia highly value boys over girls, there is also a bad habit of drowning babies, which causes the problem of imbalance between men and women in the territory that originally belonged to Xixia.
It is very difficult for the people at the bottom to marry a wife, but in Balashaguen, they all "divided" their wives, and some even got more than one...
Because the Khitan tribes would not enter the city or farm, they mainly got cattle, sheep and pastures. Xiao Heda was in a hurry to leave, so of course he had to bring gold, silver and treasures. Therefore, the land, real estate, women, and slaves left by Lion Khan and his subordinates now have new masters.
And these land, real estate, and women were not given to the auxiliary soldiers of Hexi in vain. After they got these things, their identities changed immediately. They were no longer auxiliary soldiers of the Hexi army, but the master soldiers of Suiye Town!
There are land, real estate, women, and slaves who farm (similar to tenants and serfs), and they can be said to be the master overnight and achieve a counterattack from a loser to a knight.
Moreover, these auxiliary soldiers were all Hexi Army, which was the Han people under the rule of Xixia! Although the Dangxiang people now claim to be Han people, they are "first-class Han people". The original Hexi Han people were "second-class Han people", which is still different.
In the Hexi Corridor, they are the working people who suffer. Now, Yelu Dashi has made them the perfect masters of life.
This is because my father and mother are no longer kissed by Dr. Dashi!
In addition, Dr. Dashi also created a "Broken Leaf Doctor" that looks fresh - everyone is the brothers of the Doctor. To spread the Tianli Avenue, they work together in this Western Regions Broken Leaf Land, sharing blessings and difficulties.
It sounds exciting! Everyone is good brothers, and they share blessings with each other (this has been realized), and they share difficulties with each other - of course, otherwise the blessings will not be able to be enjoyed now.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was inciting, Dashitou slowly raised his right hand, and the boiling crowd in the square immediately became quiet.
Dr. Oshi continued to fool him: "You guys from the Doctors! We are thousands of miles away from our hometown and are surrounded by powerful enemies. Everything must be defended by swords, bows and arrows. If our force is not as good as others, we will not only not spread the laws of nature, but will also be deceived by evil demons.
Now the evil demons and heretics in the Western Regions are rampant, and the laws of heaven are covered with dust. Since you are willing to fight with someone, from today on, all the people in the Saiye Doctor will stay in the military camp for a long time and practice for four seasons. You can only go home for two days every ten days! My Yelu Dashi should live with you and practice with you!
