Chapter 720 Worshiping the Golden Man and the Great Chanyu

"it's all over."

Xiao Siwen and Yeluxiu were released from house arrest by the Huns. They witnessed the 200,000 Huns and Xianbei cavalry, only more than 100,000 were left because of the war. The great Mao Dun Shanyu was killed in the war.

A group of Khitan cavalry arrived, and one of the Khitan generals got off his horse.

"You are still alive!"

Yelu Xiezhen gave Brother Yeluxiu a big hug.

The only remaining commanders of the two Liao Kingdoms joined forces again at this time.

"Since you are here, Yanyan must be here too."

Xiao Siwen found out that Yelu Xiezhen also participated in this battle, and Xiao Chuo should have come to Langjuxu Mountain as well.

"father."

A woman dismounted and met her father.

"Yanyan, you are..."

Xiao Siwen found that her daughter had already put on the armor of a general of the Han Empire.

"There is no way around this. If our Khitan tribe wants to survive, we must make some sacrifices, and this sacrifice is the price we pay for the survival of the tribe."

Xiao Chuo's eyes were firm.

The population of the Khitan tribe was defeated many times, and none survived, or they were exiled among other tribes and became slaves.

To keep the last few members of the Khitan tribe, as Xiao Chuo said, a certain price needs to be paid, and this price may even be Xiao Chuo himself.

"You mean..." Knowing daughter Mo Rufu, Xiao Siwen quickly understood Xiao Chuo's meaning, "You can act according to yourself, but you don't need to have any psychological burden. If the Khitan tribe is gone, it will be gone."

Xiao Siwen experienced so many major events in a short period of time, and witnessed the collapse of the Mongol Empire, the Liao Kingdom, and the Huns, and he no longer cared so much about the survival of the Khitan tribe.

"Father, do you want to see His Royal Highness King Xia?"

Xiao Chuo knew that Xiao Siwen was currently in the Khitan tribe and was one of the few surviving Khitan ministers, so he could also gain a foothold.

"It's time to see him, otherwise I won't trust my daughter to him."

Xiao Siwen has no objection to the special marriage, which may be a good thing for the Xiao family.

Xiao Siwen followed Brother Yeluxiu to see Chutian.

Chu Tian was leading troops to clean up the battlefield, and there were countless Hun cavalry and Xianbei cavalry captured, and many of them were herdsmen who were conscripted into the army by Mao Dun Shanyu.

"This is a special item seized from Modu's guards. I don't know what it is."

When Chutian's cavalry was sweeping the battlefield, they found a strange item.

This is a gold forged statue of a Hun, the size of a palm.

Chu Tian grabbed the golden man and checked his attributes.

【name】:? ? ? ?

[Civilization]: Huns

[Rank]:? ?

【Effect】:? ? ?

"Um?"

This was the first time that Chu Tian obtained an item that could not be viewed at all.

"Could it be that this kind of item still needs identification skills? Or, is it just an ordinary piece of gold without any special features?"

If it was just an ordinary gold statue, although it was worth a lot to ordinary people, to Chu Tian who had an army of one million, a piece of gold was a drop in the bucket and not very valuable.

The military salary that Chutian distributes every year is calculated in tens of millions of silver.

Joan of Arc came over and blinked curiously: "My lord, what is this?"

"It should be a treasure."

Chu Tian weighed the golden man carefully, he didn't believe that the important prop that Mao Dun brought with him was just an ordinary golden statue.

When Sun Bin arrived at the battlefield, he heard that Chutian had obtained a special golden man, so he came to check immediately, and finally said slowly, "This is the golden man used by the Huns to sacrifice to the sky. It can protect the prairie with good weather and abundant water and grass in the coming year."

"It turned out to be the Tianjin people."

Chu Tian had heard of this special prop,

In fact, this kind of prop is not completely fictitious, but has historical origins.

Dragon City is the holy land of the Huns, where the Huns worshiped the heavens, and the golden men who worshiped the sky were the core props for the Huns to worship the heavens.

When Huo Qubing defeated the Huns, he once seized the sacred objects of the Huns.

"Is the military division capable of identifying this golden man?"

When Chu Tian saw Sun Bin, he recognized at a glance that this was the Hun's sacrifice to the sky, and thought that Sun Bin had the skills to identify special props.

"sure."

Sun Bin waved his robe, and Chu Tian could already see the effect of the special prop "Worshiping the Heavenly Golden Man".

[Name]: Sacrifice to the Golden Man

[Civilization]: Huns

[Rank]: Emperor-level special props

[Effects]: 1. Those who hold the props hold the ceremony of worshiping heaven in Dragon City every year, and they can obtain the effect of "Great Shanyu" official position for a period of one year; Xiaoji and natural disasters will last for one year.

Lucky state (probability 20%), improvement of grassland aquatic plants growth conditions +25%, probability of occurrence of snow disaster and plague -25%, probability of appearance of excellent horses +5%, popularity of grassland tribes +20.

Xiaoji state (probability 60%), the growth conditions of grassland aquatic plants are improved by +15%, the probability of snow disasters and plagues is -15%, the probability of excellent war horses is +2%, and the popularity of grassland tribes is +10.

Natural disaster status (probability 20%), grassland water and grass growth conditions improvement -15%, snow disaster, plague occurrence probability +15%, war horse, cattle and sheep mortality rate +2%, grassland tribe's popularity -10.

The effect of "Great Chanyu" - a special official position, the honorary title of the Hun monarch, but you don't have to be a Hun to hold it, in fact, you are the emperor of the grassland.

During the period of serving as the Grand Commander, the popularity of each tribe in the grassland +15, the loyalty of the grassland legion +15%, the damage of riding and shooting +5%, the marching speed +3%, and the economic, political, and military development speed of various grasslands +5%.

"It's no wonder that Modun can command all the tribes on the grassland. The Xiongnu cavalry and Xianbei cavalry are quite fierce in combat and have a certain degree of loyalty. It is easy to surrender after Modun's death. It turns out that it has something to do with his identity as the Great Chanyu. If I have a big With the effect of Shanyu, the abilities of the grassland cavalry such as the Qixue army and the Mongolian cavalry have been slightly improved..."

After Chutian saw the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, he could also obtain the official position of "Da Shanyu" that Maodun had brought with him.

At present, Chutian's official position is General and Yanzhou Mu. If the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is held, he will be given the temporary official position of "Da Shan Yu".

At that time Chutian will be the general of the Han Empire, Yanzhou Mu, and concurrently the Great Chanyu.

Da Dan is the official position of nomadic civilization, and having this official position is the basis for ruling the prairie.

From this point of view, this special prop "Worshiping the Golden Man" seems to be just a piece of gold, but its practical value is quite amazing, and it is the most valuable sacred object of the Xiongnu civilization.

There is a 20% chance that the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven will fail.

However, the probability of success is 80%, which is enough.

Jinren can only guarantee the prairie, and in four-fifths of the time, the weather will be smooth.

"After returning to Dragon City, immediately arrange the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. I want to become the Great Chanyu and stabilize the hearts of the people of all the tribes in the grassland."

The first thing that Chutian thought of when he got the Tianji Jinren was to ascend the throne and become the Great Chanyu, so that he could gain the legitimacy of ruling the grassland.

Maodun's status in the grassland is equivalent to Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains, and the two people can talk on an equal footing.

The position of the Great Chanyu is at the same level as the emperor of the Han Empire.

Therefore, many kingdoms established by nomadic civilizations have to call themselves the Great Chanyu to win people's hearts.

Of course, this is the status of the Great Chanyu in the eyes of the Huns or other nomadic tribes.

In the eyes of the princes of the Han Empire, the position of Emperor Han is still higher than that of Da Shan Yuyi.

"In this battle, Qin Liangyu made the most contribution..."

Chu Tian counted the military exploits of all the generals, among which Qin Liangyu ranked first in killing Maodun Shanyu, beheading tens of thousands of Northern Huns cavalry, and capturing tens of thousands of Southern Huns cavalry.

In particular, the credit for capturing the cavalry of the Southern Huns is the military exploits Yu Fuluo gave to Qin Liangyu.

For Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan, Chu Tian also couldn't laugh or cry, the two leaders of the Huns, but they were two weak bones, and they didn't have the ruthlessness to fight Shan Yu rather than surrender.

Mouton was indeed fierce, and his cavalry also caused a lot of damage to Chutian.

As descendants of Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan, after attaching to the Han Empire, they didn't have much nostalgia for the grassland.

"According to what was said before the start of the battle, if you kill the Modun, you will be rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver."

Chutian fulfilled his promise and asked him to prepare 10,000 taels of silver for Qin Liangyu, who was the guest general.

Mao Dun's head is indeed worth ten thousand taels of silver.

Xue Rengui, Zhao Yun, Tai Shici and others all had a chance, but if they didn't break out in their direction, they could only stare blankly.

"Ten thousand taels of silver, isn't that too much..."

Qin Liangyu only came to the north occasionally, because there were no princes in the Nanman area who were willing to intervene, so he had nothing to do in his spare time. As a result, he got 10,000 taels of silver for one trip to the north.

"Take it as my support for the Nanban region."

Chutian originally thought that his subordinates would get the ten thousand taels of silver, so Chutian was very generous at the beginning, so it is not easy to break his promise now.

The higher the status, the more attention should be paid to promises, otherwise it will be very disappointing.

Ten thousand taels, was used by Chutian to win over the generals in the Nanman area, and it was considered to have recovered a little bit of capital.

Qin Liangyu brought Fu Luo and Hu Chuquan: "These two people, please deal with His Highness King Xia."

Yu Fuluo and Hu Chuquan were pale and sweaty, kneeling in front of Chu Tian: "Modun hijacked us to rebel, we can't refuse..."

"In the name of the Great Chanyu, I abolish the status of the Southern Huns Shanyu. From now on, the nobles of the Southern Huns must be appointed by the Xia Palace."

Chu Tian was actually dissatisfied with the matter between Fu Luo and Hu Chuquan.

In fact, this is a historical problem left behind by the Han Empire after the Xiongnu Empire split into the Southern Huns and the Northern Huns.

The Han Empire's control over the Southern Huns was not strong, which left hidden dangers for the Wuhu Chaohua.

At present, the Southern Huns still have their own hierarchy. Yu Fuluo is the Shanyu of the Southern Xiongnu. The Han Empire can intervene in the question of the successor of the Southern Xiongnu Shanyu, but the intervention is still not strong enough. Most of the Xiongnu nobles are still the Southern Huns. The Xiongnu decided internally.

This time, by virtue of the betrayal of the Southern Huns, Chutian gained more political capital and the right to appoint and remove the middle and high-level officials of the Southern Huns.

"The royal court of the Southern Xiongnu was abolished, and the Southern Xiongnu was divided into fifteen banners and lived in scattered. Each banner set up a town, and every five banners set up a county. Without permission, no one is allowed to move. Each banner has a special official to collect taxes. Fu, raising war horses, and recruiting soldiers, officials are dispatched by the Xia Palace, accounting for at least 70%.”

Chutian forcibly disbanded the Southern Xiongnu royal court, split the Southern Xiongnu into three counties and fifteen banners, scattered them all over the grasslands, and filled the population.

The farming population is not very willing to live on the grassland, and the environmental carrying capacity of the grassland is weak. If it is reclaimed at will, the soil fertility of the grassland will be lost quickly.

Therefore, the grassland still mainly develops animal husbandry, and no one is more suitable for grazing than nomadic tribes.

The biggest threat to nomadic tribes is their indeterminate whereabouts. Chutian allowed the Huns to live permanently, supervise them, and develop animal husbandry and horse management on the grassland.

In the future westward expedition, Chutian will need a large number of war horses.

When the Mongols marched west, one man had many horses, and Chutian also had to prepare for the future.

If an army of 500,000 marches westward, with an average of four horses per person, then two million horses will be needed.

Every year, war horses will die due to disease, war, and cold winter, and at least hundreds of thousands of war horses must be produced every year to make up for the losses.

The Mongolians and the Huns know how to raise horses, they have the life skills of raising horses, and the cost is very low, so there is no need to specially dispatch farmers from inside the pass to raise horses outside the pass.

Even if this generation does not work, we must make adequate preparations for the next generation of Western Expeditions.

Chu Tian has already made his own plan.
