Chapter 470 The International Students of Daqin Kindergarten
Yuezhi is a powerful tribe living in the Hexi Corridor and a generation of Qilian Mountains. At least, at this moment, they were not driven away by the Huns, and they are among the most powerful forces on the grassland. For a long time, everyone has been unable to understand the origin and culture of the Yuezhi people. There are many different opinions in the academic community. So far, there are many statements such as the Han and Tibetan people, the Sogdian people, the Indo-European people, the Iranian people, and so on.
Because according to the records of the Han Book, the language of these people is similar to that of the Qiang people, it is not unreasonable that their language is recognized as the Han-Tibetan language family. However, judging from the unearthed corpses, their appearance may be biased towards the Indo-Europeans, so some scholars believe that the faces similar to Eurasian mixed-race that exist in the Western Regions today are the reproduction of these ancient tribes and local East Asian indigenous peoples.
We don’t know much about them. We only know that this tribe has a very ancient history. It appeared in history books very early and was a powerful man on the grassland. Unfortunately, when the Huns gradually became stronger, the power of the Yuezhi was hit by a certain impact. According to archaeological results, the Yuezhi people mastered certain farming techniques and their development in other fields is not inferior. Compared with the Huns, they may be more advanced.
The original strength of the Huns had already made Yuezhi fear, but now, the Huns were defeated by Li Mu, and they had no power left, and they directly returned to their state hundreds of years ago. The happiest one was probably the Yuezhi people. They finally stopped worrying about this gradually becoming stronger neighbor. However, the life of the Huns was very bad. Touman Shanyu migrated with his tribe, but the migration was not easy because there were tigers and wolves staring at them around.
Many small tribes that were not taken seriously by the Huns in the past want to swallow them or even attack them. Touman barely repelled several attacks, but also hindered the migration of the Huns. Touman had to find a way to change the current situation. Touman quickly completed the reform of the Huns. Now the Huns have weak power, no major nobles are available within, and even the wise kings on both sides cannot refuse. Touman feels that this is the best opportunity for reform.
The first thing Touman did was to make up text... The Huns only had language, no text. Touman felt that the role of words could play was too great, and they had to have their own text. In order to achieve this goal, he decided to plagiarize according to the text of Zhao State, but he immediately found that this was unlikely. He could not compile tens of thousands of words, and such words did not conform to the language of the Huns.
Only then did Touman realize that reform was such a difficult situation. He could not even complete the first step. How could he complete the second and third step? He also wanted to compile the law, but now he couldn't even write it. Touman had a great headache. This was because of the shortage of talents. The Huns did not lack combat talents, but there was no such talent that could help him carry out reforms, or even give advice.
The external pressure made Touman focus on how to survive. What troubles Touman the most now is how to protect the Hun tribe. For example, those cumbersome reforms, let’s wait until the Huns stabilize. Touman thought that if he wanted to survive, he had to find a big backer so that he could complete the reforms he thought in his heart with peace of mind. Touman originally thought about Donghu, but there were huge changes within Donghu.
The tribal leader rebelled and killed the King of Donghu, and became the King of Donghu. He then integrated the Donghu tribe and expanded the power of Donghu. Donghu looked like he was gradually becoming stronger. The new King of Donghu was clearly rewarded and punished, and was ambitious. He seemed to want to integrate the original forces of the Huns. Touman was really afraid that he would be directly annexed by them, so he focused on the weaker Yuezhi.
Yuezhi is weaker than the Xiongnu and Donghu. Fortunately, they will not integrate the internal tribes and will not swallow them directly.
When Touman knew that the King of Yuezhi liked horses, he personally prepared a few of the best thousand-mile horses for him, and then took the tribe to pay homage to him. Everyone in the tribe thought it was too dangerous and rushed to the enemy's territory. What should they do if they attacked directly? Touman felt that the Huns had no power to resist other enemies at all, and the King of Yuezhi was arrogant and had the best face to take the tribe to vote for him, and he would never attack him.
In this way, Touman migrated to the Yuezhi side with the gift he prepared, and took his warriors to pay homage to the Yuezhi King.
When the King of Yuezhi heard that Touman brought his tribe to surrender, he was of course indescribable happiness. Touman was too ambitious and had a strong force in the past, and always looked down on him. Now, he came to pay homage to him like a dog. What else is more happy than this? The King of Yuezhi remembered the insults he had suffered in the past, so he decided to take revenge on Touman. He summoned his ministers to meet Touman.
A minister said, "Touman is a hungry wolf. Now he is shaking his tail and begging for mercy. One day, when you are not paying attention, he will bite off your flesh in one bite!"
The Yuezhi King was furious and said, "Touman is a wolf, I am a tiger. I have never heard of a wolf eating a tiger!" After that, he executed the minister, and the crime was to humiliate the king. Before the minister was killed, he cursed, "Yu Hundu! You are not a tiger! You are a pig! Just wait for the day when the wolf is shared!" The Yuezhi King ignored the minister's curse and waited for Touman's reception with peace of mind.
When Touman arrived at the tent, there were elite Yuezhi warriors standing around. They looked at Touman fiercely, holding swords in their hands. Touman looked scared and hurriedly lowered his head and did not dare to move forward. The Yuezhi king laughed and said, "I heard that you are a warrior on the grassland. How could you still be scared by swords? Please don't be afraid, come to me!"
Touman said helplessly: "Your sword is too sharp, so I dare not look at it."
Of course, the Yuezhi King was even happier, and asked the warriors to put away their swords. Touman then walked to him, paid homage to him with the highest etiquette, and then expressed his request. He said: "I was defeated by Li Mu, and the surrounding tribes are coming to attack me. I have no place to go. I hope you can take it in. I only need a pasture that can feed my horses. I am willing to obey any of your orders."
"What ability do you have to help me?" said King Yuezhi, saying disdainfully. Toutan was not angry at all. He just lowered his head and repeatedly begged the other party to take him in. King Yuezhi was ridiculed and sarcastic. Finally, he generously forgave Toutan's past behavior and was willing to take him in. Yuezhi held a banquet to entertain him, but let him sit in the last position, giving him only some bones without meat, and humiliating him as a dog.
"You don't know, it is said that this Touman always takes Zhao people's books and read them. What's the name? Anyway, he is almost Zhao people!" The King of Yuezhi laughed, Touman just smiled and did not explain, and other ministers also started to mock him, looking down on the Shanyu who was rumored to like reading. They even asked Touman to tell them a passage of Zhao's words, preferably in Ma Fujun's books.
Touman did not refuse their request. He stood up, pretended to have bamboo slips in his hand, and then exaggeratedly said: "Fan Ju killed Wei Qi, and Ma Fujun said, "It will be no late for a gentleman to take revenge!"
Everyone burst into laughter and then asked again: "What does this mean?"
"This means that you must keep your promises."
Everyone suddenly realized that the Yuezhi King said disdainfully: "I thought it was a profound truth. Do you still need to write down such a thing?"
Touman was burning with anger in his heart, but there was no sign of his face, just smiling.
When the banquet ended, Touman returned to the tent. His behavior just now suffered a great blow to his prestige. If it weren't for his strong strength, the Huns would have scattered in all directions. As soon as he returned to the tent, he saw his Shin wiping herbs on his young son. Seeing Touman walking in, Shin raising his head and said, "Can't you control them? They always bully and bully... If I hadn't seen it today, he would have been almost beaten to death."
At the beginning, a priest said that the Huns were defeated because of Maodun's birth. Touman did not believe this and ignored it. However, other Huns believed it. Therefore, many children of the same age of Hun nobles always bully Maodun, who were much younger than them... And Touman was not very stable because of the pressure over the years, his huge sense of crisis, and his emotions were not very stable. Outside, he always smiled and lowered his head, and in the tent, he vented his anger on his wife.
Before Mrs. Yan finished speaking, Touman slapped her in the face and roared, "Isn't it enough for me to be humiliated? He is also a man. If he is humiliated by others, it is only his own problem! You raise my wolf into a sheep! Get out!" He kicked Mrs. Yan in the abdomen again. Mrs. Yan groaned and fell to the ground in pain. At that moment, Maodun, who was only five or six years old, had his eyes wide open and flames burned in his eyes. He rushed towards his father, but was tightly grasped by his mother.
The bruised man from Yan took his son out of the tent. She knew that she was old and no longer as beautiful as before. Touman had found a few new Yans, which made her status lower and lower. Even the young Yans looked down on her and always told her to do things... She held her son's hand and walked out of the tent. The two walked for a long time. Yans then stroked her painful abdomen and sat on the grass.
The young Maodun looked crazy. He stretched out his hand and helped his mother rub his stomach. Yan Shi smiled gently, stretched out his hand and stroked his son's head. The son was very strong, taciturn, but caring for himself. This made Yan Shi very happy. She looked at the scars on her son's face, but felt a little distressed, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt."
"They scold you, just leave, why fight with them? They are so much bigger than you..."
"I will always grow up...Mother, when I grow up, I promise that no one can bully us..." The little guy said very seriously. Yan Shi smiled bitterly. She stroked her son's face and said, "But you haven't grown up yet, you have to learn to be patient. If one day, I'm gone and people want to bully you, don't go against them. You can wait until you grow up and take revenge on them, okay?"
"Mother, are you going to leave me?"
"Of course not...I will always be with you."
"I know that the woman who came from Que hit you and burned you with fire, so I secretly strangled her son to death in the morning and she went crazy."
Suddenly, Shi Yan felt cold all over. She widened her eyes and looked at her son. She suddenly remembered the bloody incident that happened in the morning. But she never thought that it was related to her son. She subconsciously raised her palm, but looking at the child's deep and calm eyes, she couldn't hit him in the face. She took a deep breath and said, "You can't kill people at will... do you know?"
"No, I will not let anyone bully you, no matter who it is... one day, he will pay the price. As for the woman who flexes, when I grow up, I must take the most elite knight to slaughter the entire flexes..."
Yan Shi was silent for a long time. She looked at the setting sun in the distance and put the child in her arms. She whispered: "No one bullies me... Just be safe and safe. Don't make your father angry... Don't fight with others anymore... Protect yourself..."
At this moment, Touman had just "vented" his anger on another young man. Of course, the way of venting was different. Touman entered the time of the sage, suppressed all the anger in his heart, and began to think about the future of the Huns. Why can't he reform? The main reason was that he did not have as many talented people as the Central Plains around him. If... Touman didn't know what he remembered, he suddenly sent someone to call his eldest son Maodun in.
Maodun had already wiped away the blood on his face, and stood in front of his father, frowned, and could not see any of the children of the same age.
"How much have you learned what I asked you to learn?" Touman asked suddenly in Zhao's words.
"I learned a lot." Maodun also replied in Zhao's words and stuttered.
"Where can you understand the books?"
"Can understand a little."
"How much can you understand?!", Touman's tone became a little stern in an instant.
“Most of them can understand.”
"I want to send you to Qin State... find someone to learn from him... I want to do a lot of things, but I don't know how to do that person. He knows how to do it. If you can learn... I will let you inherit my position. If you can't learn, you can die there..." Touman said with his eyes narrowed.
Maodun was unmoved and his face was particularly calm, which made Touman even more angry. He could not get any respect in Maodun. Not to mention respect, he didn't even have any fear. Touman was unwilling to pay attention to him again, waved his hand and said, "Go out, I will send you over... As a host, you will no longer be a Hun in the future... You are the prince of Lin Hu's escape tribe... I heard that there are Lin Hu people around that person, and he will definitely not make things difficult for you..."
"What benefits can I get."
