0139 Dragon Emperor
The Uighurs' reform gradually became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although there were some small resistances before, they were all overcome by Xia Bolong. Three months after the reform policy was implemented, the Uighurs showed a development trend. In order to thank the hard-won freedom, slaves swear allegiance to the reform planner Xia Bolong.
For three months, Xia Bolong has devoted himself to reform. He took some people to wander around the Uighurs, inspected the reform situation in various cities, and gradually learned in-depth about the situation in the Uighurs:
The Uighurs are ethnic groups on the grassland, but they have a semi-cultivating and semi-pardoned lifestyle. The Gaochang area is a typical agricultural area, and many civilians, especially poor herdsmen, have turned to farming.
There is basically no rain or snow in Gaochang area. The summer is hot, and people "pass the ground to make caves" to escape the heat. The hot weather is beneficial to the growth of crops and fruits. In particular, the abundant water sources flowing from Jinling (now Bogda Mountain in Xinjiang) provide great conditions for the development of agriculture. The Uighurs divert water around the city, irrigate the countryside, and rotate the water mill. Except for buckwheat, crops have other grains, and produce white (cotton) and white cloth (cotton).
The Uighurs are also very developed in animal husbandry. Most of the pastures are on the grassland north of the Tianshan Mountains, and they mainly raise horses. The Uighur king and some nobles all have their own horse herds and grazed on the plains. They have been divided into groups of more than 100 miles in front and after, and are divided into groups by fur color. There are countless of them. Each good horse is worth one regular silk, while the poor horse is for meat, and each horse is worth only one meter of silk. The nobles eat horse meat, and the common people eat sheep, wild ducks, geese, etc.
Hunting is an important side job for the Gaochang Uighurs. Wild beasts and wild birds are one of the sources of people's carnivore. The animal skins can be used to make clothes, especially minks, to make gorgeous clothes, dedicated to the princes and nobles of the Uighurs.
As autumn goes and winter comes, heavy snow begins to fall on the grassland, and snowflakes fall one after another, covering the entire grassland.
In Gaochang's palace, Xia Bolong and Queen Garnika, who had returned from busy for three months, snuggled up to each other and sat by the bed in the bedroom.
Widths of quiet fragrance float out of the antique copper incense burner, and then slowly seeps into the air, refreshing and making you feel very comfortable. The light in the bedroom is transparent, and wisps of winter sunlight lazily pass through the windows, outlining the exquisite carved reflections on the panes underground. Various magnificent animal skins are nailed to the ground, including colorful stripes of tiger skins, fluffy and soft fox skins, and brown and thick bear skins. These furs are stacked thickly one by one. No matter who comes here, it is almost certain that lying on the most comfortable bed on the ground in this room.
Xia Bolong hugged Garnika, kissed her forehead gently, and then said lightly with a smile: "Dear, in the past three months, the Uighurs' reform has been implemented, and the people of all cities are very happy. If they stabilize for another two years, vigorously develop animal husbandry and agriculture, and encourage population growth, in two years, the Uighurs will surely become a powerful country on the grassland."
"Well, these are all my dear credit. Look, after three months of going out, I've been black and lost. I feel very distressed when I see it." Garnika said.
Xia Bolong laughed and said, "It's okay. In order to revitalize the country and make the country prosperous, it is worth it no matter how tired it is. Dear, do you know? I find that I like this kind of life more and more. The Uighurs' lifestyle is simple, and horse farming and hunting are days that people in the Central Plains cannot live. Moreover, the Uighurs have no scheming and do not understand politics very much, which has also made our reform successful."
"You are right. People on the grassland are usually like this. The things that are recognized will not change. Although those nobles are unwilling to surrender in the early stage, once they surrender, they will follow you wholeheartedly. As long as they can make the Uighurs strong, they will not care too much. Dear, I think that no matter they are nobles, army, or the people, they trust you very much. It is better for me to ask the gods for time and give the throne to you. Anyway, I have been satisfied with sitting on the throne for so long. You are my man. I want to be a woman like a woman in the Central Plains and be able to snuggle in my man's arms at all times." Garnika gently embraced Xia Bolong's waist and said lightly.
Xia Bolong had this plan for a long time, but he thought it was not time yet, at least it was no longer important to him whether he was a king or not. Because the entire Uighur country knew his name and knew that Queen Garnika had a talented and wise princess.
He raised his hand, gently stroked Garnika's hair, and said lightly: "Dear, there is no hurry now, at least it's not time yet. When the spring of the next year comes, everything in the Uighurs will stabilize. It's not too late to give up the throne to me. Dear, I have one more thing to tell you, don't be angry?"
Garnika nodded and said, "Well, my dear, you tell me, I'm not angry!"
Xia Bolong said: "I took my son and wife from Yizhou to Gaochang, and now they have let them live in the palace."
"Why don't you discuss such a big thing with me?" Garnika suddenly sat upright, her face looking quite angry, as if she was jealous.
Xia Bolong said: "Aren't I discussing with you?"
"You are not discussing with me. You obviously took action first and then reported... Forget it, I know you have two wives before. I am the third party, but I am the queen. If you pick it up, pick it up. It is also painful for the child to find his father. However, I want to tell you that when they are here, you still have to stay with me every night, and you are not allowed to leave me!" Garnika said a little strongly.
"Well, I promise you. But, during those days of each month, can I go with my two wives?" Xia Bolong asked.
Garnika said: "No! You are mine, you are not allowed to touch other women!"
Xia Bolong smiled slightly, nodded gently, and thought to himself: "Even if you touch me, you don't know. I won't be so stupid. Let's take the initiative to tell you who I'm sleeping with!"
For several months, Xia Boron was with Garnika, and he was lingering every night, which made the ammunition he had reserved over the past twenty years be released. However, the release of ammunition was rewarded, and a small life was born in Garnika's abdomen.
Since Garnika got pregnant, Xia Bolong and Garnika's sex gradually decreased. Both men belonged to cats, so he shifted his goal to his other two wives. However, Cai Xinrui was devoted to raising her son and had no intention of doing these things, and Xia Bolong's second wife Wang Qian seized the opportunity and became entangled with Xia Bolong.
The winter on the grassland is very long and spring comes very late. In May, the snow on the grassland begins to slowly dissipate, revealing a green wilderness.
On the grassland, green represents vitality, hope, and herds of cattle and sheep.
This day was the first day of May 1120 AD. The annual grassland conference in Gaochang City was grandly held in Gaochang City. The so-called grassland conference is a regular meeting of princes and princes. Every noble and city lord must come in person to discuss the future development of the country and work together.
This day was also the most grand day. Queen Garnika attended the conference with a big belly, wearing a crown, a robe, and a marten fur around her neck, which looked very luxurious. Although she was pregnant, her beauty still did not weaken and she was still the most dazzling person at the entire conference.
"Dear Her Majesty, Princess, Princess." As soon as the ministers saw Xia Bolong supporting Garnika, they saluted the two of them together.
When Garnika and Shaberon sat on the throne, they heard Garnika say loudly: "My ministers, get up, please take your seat!"
The nobles and the city lords all sat in their respective seats, and Xia Bolong also saw many familiar faces from it. Those were the people he brought from the Song Dynasty. Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and Qin Ba were the three seats in the city lords. Lin Chong, Qin Ming, Lu Fang, Guo Sheng, Ling Zhen, Zhang Dahan and Liu Chengzong all appeared as generals.
"Take on this May Day, I have a major event to announce. Don't be surprised after hearing this, try to keep quiet." Garnika said.
There, Moro and some noble leaders looked at each other, and they were silently thinking in their hearts: "No matter how important the matter is, can it still catch up with the major reform events of last year? We all accept the reform events, what else can't be accepted?"
Seeing that no one answered the ministers, Garnika continued, "Today we were able to gather together and drink in Gaochang City. The reason why we Uighurs ended the turmoil. The end of the turmoil means that we Uighurs can continue to develop again, but we should also be very clear that the Uighurs' civil turmoil can end, and all the credits are the princess. Later, the princess reformed made the people happy. For more than half a year after the reform, the Uighurs have lived and worked in peace, which shows the success of the reform. Now that I am pregnant, I am not very proficient in political affairs. Thinking of this great contribution, I decided to abdicate and give up the turmoil and pass the throne to the princess Xia Bolong. Do you know what your opinions are?"
As soon as these words came out, the hall was silent. The Uighurs' kingdom was generally held by the Uighurs. Although there were examples of Uighur son-in-law becoming king, it was never possible to hand over the Uighurs' throne to people from other ethnic groups. Therefore, the Uighurs in the hall were stunned by Garnika's words and had not yet reacted. And those old subordinates of Xia Bolong were all happy, so naturally there was no objection.
After a long time, the hall was filled with silence as if it was dead.
"Her Majesty, this...is probably inappropriate?" After thinking for a long time, he hurriedly said.
Garnika said: "What's wrong? Haven't you seen the princess's achievements with your own eyes?"
The nest quickly waved his hand and said, "No! No, the old minister wants to say that it has been hundreds of years since the Uighurs established. However, in the history of the Uighurs, no matter whether they are strong or weak, there is no precedent for foreigners to serve as kings in their country. I am afraid that this will be inappropriate!"
Garnika said: "What's wrong? The princess is very wise and has a broad and talented heart. If he becomes the king of our Uighurs, he will definitely make our Uighurs overlords on the grassland!"
Moro suddenly stood up and said, "The clan leader of the Nv's house, in fact, weren't our Uighurs also a country that was attached to the Central Plains earlier? Since the Tang Dynasty, our Uighurs' power has gradually become weaker. If the princess can really lead us to prosper, what's wrong?"
Qin Ba thought about it, stood up immediately and said, "If you don't talk about the distance, just talk about the nearest ones. The main body of the Xixia people is Dangxiang people, but they use the Central Plains surname as the national surname. With a tolerant mentality, they have developed from a small tribe to a military power in the northwest, and bullying the Uighurs. These things are vivid in my mind. Have you all forgotten it?"
"I dare not forget. I still remember how the Xixia people bullied us. This shame will never be forgotten in my life!" Moro said.
Xia Bolong stood up at this time and said, "Okay, let me give you my opinion. Although the Uighurs have undergone reforms, there are tribes and people of all ethnic groups, but Uighurs are mostly Uighurs. In this way, conflicts will inevitably arise between tribes. If I ascend to the throne, I will follow the example of Xixia, turn all Uighurs into royal families, unify the national surname, establish a new country, retake a legitimate national title, formally establish all functions in the country, formulate official positions and perform their duties according to the dynasty system of the Central Plains people. How can a new country not become a rising rookie?"
After saying that, Bai Baiwen nodded repeatedly. His ancestors were the King of Kucha Uighurs. The entire Kucha Uighurs had a deep connection with the culture of the Central Plains, and he often sent envoys to the Central Plains to pay tribute. When he heard Xia Bolong's words, he felt a hint of goose bumps all over his body, and a sudden burst of spirits came up and said loudly: "Okay! OK! I, Bai Baiwen, was the first to support the princess as the new king, establish a new country, and clarify all functions!"
Moro, the leader of the Gedo clan, had already compromised with Xia Bolong. He was thinking that if he could become a royal family and enjoy the national surname, the people of the Gedo clan would be proud of it. He immediately stood up and bowed and said, "Dear Princess, have you chosen the new national name and national surname?"
"In fact, tracing the roots of everyone is nothing more than originating from China. Later, due to some relationship, we were forced to migrate to other places. The Chinese also regard dragons as totem. We are all descendants of Chinese people. Whether they are Uighurs or Han people now, they are all the same clan and ancestors. Therefore, we are all descendants of dragons. Since we are descendants of dragons, we use dragons as totem, dragons as national names, and dragons as national surnames. And all of us are dragon clans, no longer divided into tribes, intermarriages, no distinction between nobles and humbleness. What do you think?"
After hearing this, everyone felt that Xia Bolong’s words were reasonable. Those who were not sure of paying attention had already settled their minds. Everyone stood up and said in unison: “See Your Majesty the King!”
"No! It's the emperor! From then on, the Gaochang Uighurs changed their name to the Dragon Empire. Everyone in the country was the dragon clan. You should call me the Dragon Emperor!" Xia Bolong said solemnly.
Everyone nodded and shouted together: "See Dragon Emperor!"
On the first day of May, Xia Bolong changed the Uighur name to the Dragon Empire and called himself the Dragon Emperor. All the people in the Dragon Empire became the Dragon Clan. A overlord on the grassland is rising bit by bit...
