Shanglin Garden, a place for royal hunting, is bustling with people, and there are many barbarian knights coming and going. Today is the day of the Alimutai Conference. The leaders of the various tribes of the steppe Huns will lead the most powerful warriors from each tribe to gather. People from the capital come to pay homage to His Majesty the Great Emperor. The triennial event is particularly exciting. I wonder if the Huns are also looking forward to the emperor's generous rewards...
On the opening day of the conference, Yun'er got up very early in the morning and went through various kinds of things to choose suitable clothes for Mu Sheng.
Yun'er looked at the heroic appearance of Young Master Sheng in military uniform with burning eyes. Unknowingly, Young Master had grown into a handsome young master, which quietly touched the girl's heartstrings.
Yun'er said, "Sir, I also want to follow you to the meeting and have a long experience with those barbarians."
Mu Sheng felt something in his heart when he heard this. The prince must be there by then, and Yun'er is probably going to him, hey! It’s really hard for women to stay in college...
"Okay! You go and get ready, and we will go to the conference together."
Yun'er nodded happily after hearing this.
Mu Sheng and Yun'er, dressed in military uniforms, rode together and rushed to the Shanglin Garden hunting ground fifty miles away. Yun'er disguised herself as a man and went to the conference as his escort. The guards and chariots from the Changping Lord's residence slowly drove Follow them.
In Shanglin Garden, I saw a large white tent spread out in the distance like white clouds on the yellow grass. The camp was crowded with people and flags were waving. It was very lively. The most dazzling tent in the middle, the largest golden tent was the emperor's. Royal tent.
The Golden Tent represents the Great Chanyu among the nomadic tribes of the grassland, and represents the supreme authority of the grassland royal court. The emperor living in the Golden Tent has dual identities at the same time, as the Great Chanyu of the grassland and the Great Emperor of the Central Plains. This is also the Jin Dynasty declaring its authority to the grassland.
Along the way to Shanglin Garden, we saw groups of barbarian knights galloping on their horses. The heads of the various tribes of the Huns led their tribes to come to see the emperor. Mu Sheng led everyone to the gate of the camp. , his entourage handed the waist badge to the guard. After verifying that it was correct, the group followed the guard to the arranged accommodation.
Yun'er got off her horse and followed Mu Sheng into a white tent. Generally speaking, women are not allowed to attend such a grand event, but there are policies and countermeasures. As long as you don't know what to do and violate the order, it doesn't matter. Unable to resist Yun'er's request to open her eyes, he brought her here.
In the past, Young Master Sheng was too young to ride a horse and shoot arrows, so he could not participate in the event. Now that Mu Sheng is old and has grown up, he can participate in the event as a clan member.
It was also the first time for Mu Sheng to participate in such a grand event, and he was still very excited.
Mu Sheng came out of the tent and saw Yun'er running around the camp like a free bird, not caring about the cold wind outside.
Seeing this, Mu Sheng smiled and shook his head and went to the stables. He stepped forward and took care of his BMW carefully. He would wait and see how it performed during the meeting.
In the early morning, there were no clouds in Shanglin Garden, and the sound of a drum came from afar, which indicated the official opening of the conference.
At this time, a knight outside Young Master Sheng's tent rode up to deliver a message: "I would like to report to Lord Changping that your Majesty has an edict. The ceremony has begun. Please go to the venue."
Mu Sheng opened the tent, took the token, and said, "I understand."
Immediately, he, Yun'er and all the entourage mounted their horses and headed to the main venue. They saw that the venue was crowded with people. Everyone had arranged their seats according to their status. Leaders of various grassland ministries, important officials of the imperial court, and relatives of the royal family all entered the venue one after another. The throne in the middle of the venue was The sky above was empty, but the emperor himself had not yet arrived.
As soon as Mu Sheng himself entered the conference, someone announced, "Mr. Changping has arrived!"
This announcement attracted the attention of the royal family members and important officials present. They all wanted to see who the prince who had been granted the title of king by His Majesty was.
Seeing this situation, Mu Sheng smiled bitterly in his heart, "It's true!" He really became the most handsome guy on the scene...
Mu Sheng and his entourage were guided to the seats by the messenger under the curious eyes of everyone.
After taking his seat, he sighed in his heart. After becoming a king, the treatment was indeed different. The seats were closer to the main podium in the center, and he could basically see clearly who was on the main podium.
As soon as Mu Sheng sat down, an old man who looked to be in his forties next to him greeted him and said, "I've met Mr. Changping."
After hearing this, Mu Sheng turned around and looked, good fellow, sitting not far away from him is Prince Qingwu Xinjun. He is the younger brother of the current emperor's mother. He is the sixth eldest son. In terms of seniority, he is also the uncle of Prince Sheng. This person The uncle was also a lord who fought hard on the battlefield. He was a proper Marquis of Wanhu. He also had a relatively good personal relationship with the current emperor and had a high status and prestige in the clan.
Naturally, Mu Sheng did not dare to neglect. He stepped forward and bowed his hands and said, "Well, Uncle Six! My nephew is polite."
After a few polite words with Wu Xinjun, Gongzi Qing asked a handsome young man of about twenty years old sitting next to him to salute Mu Sheng. The young man reluctantly bowed his hands to Gongzi Sheng and said, "Mu Chen pays homage to Lord Changping."
When Mu Sheng saw his attitude, he knew it well, no wonder! Of course, if you suddenly gain a high position without even making any achievements, you will not be able to convince the public...
Mu Sheng smiled awkwardly. He was his cousin after all, so he had no choice but to cup his hands and said in a gentle tone, "Brother Chen, you're welcome. We are all brothers and don't have to be polite."
He turned back and praised Mr. Wu Xin, "Sixth Uncle, Brother Chen is such a talented person that he will definitely inherit the Sixth Uncle's mantle and expand the territory for His Majesty, and make great achievements again!"
Wu Xinjun smiled when he heard the words, obviously very helpful. The two chatted for a few more words before hearing the guard at the gate announcing, "Prince Chuck, Prince Sola, Prince Guri, Prince Ketu...are here!"
Then a large group of nomadic leaders dressed as Hu people walked into the venue. The four Hu people headed by them were obviously the Four Kings mentioned by the guards. They were all different in height, short, fat and thin. They had Hu people's hair style and wore gorgeous Hu clothes. They were seated at the venue, and then the guards shouted, and another group of Hu leaders led their personal guards into the venue under the leadership of the guards, in an orderly manner.
After a cup of tea, the Imperial Guards on site shouted, "His Majesty the Emperor has arrived!"
Upon hearing this, the princes of the Hu tribes, members of the clan, and important officials of the imperial court all came forward to bow to the emperor who had just taken his seat in the middle, bowed and paid homage, and shouted long live...
Although the Hu tribes seem to be very submissive now, the Huns are famous in the history of this other world. During the most glorious period of their ancestors, they attacked Fengjing, the capital of the Yu Dynasty, three times, which was responsible for the legacy of the previous dynasty. The most direct reason for the rapid decline of the Yu Dynasty that lasted for more than 1,400 years was that after the decline of the Yu Dynasty, various feudal vassal states in the Central Plains eventually fought against each other for supremacy, leading to the collapse of rituals and music, and the world was in chaos.
Why are the Huns so submissive today? The direct reason is that he is afraid of the current emperor. In the decisive battle of Beihai more than ten years ago, the third emperor of the Jin Dynasty, together with the Huns Dongyue clan, sent more than 600,000 troops to personally conquer the twelve tribes of Dayi who were nomadic in Beihai. After the war, the most powerful group of the Huns, the Dayis, basically collapsed.
The Huns of the Dayi clan slaughtered Da Chanyu, and the four most troubled tribes among the Dayi clan were completely eradicated. The remaining eight tribes of the Dayi clan in the North Sea are now completely surrendered to the iron hoof of the Jin Dynasty. Since then, the threat from the grassland has been basically eliminated.
In fact, the Huns are just a general term for various tribes in the grasslands. The Huns are mainly divided into three factions: Dongyue clan, Dayi clan, and Bado clan. Among them, Dayi clan entrenched in Beihai is the most powerful, followed by Dongyue clan, and Bado clan again. The Eastern Yuezhi, the third lineage of the Huns, had surrendered to the Jin Dynasty very early, and had married into the upper echelons of the Jin state. Today, His Majesty also has the blood of the Eastern Yuezhi, and can be regarded as a traditional ally plus Laotie.
The six tribes of the Dongyue clan were also the targets of the Jin State's deliberate efforts to cultivate and win over. The Jin Dynasty divided and disintegrated the grassland tribes, imposed heavy rewards, and used barbarians to control the barbarians to achieve force deterrence and control over the Huns. After the Beihai Dayi clan was completely defeated, The northern grasslands were basically firmly controlled by the Jin people.
It has been nearly 800 years since the founding of the Jin Dynasty during the Liang Dynasty, but none of its own people have ever been awarded a royal title. All the leaders of the Hu people are at the prince level, which shows how much the Jin court attaches importance to the Hu people.
Closer to home, the meeting officially started after the leaders of the Dayi, Baduo and Dongyue clans came together.
Before the ceremony began, the emperor, together with his ministers and princes from the grasslands, boarded the reviewing stand. Mu Sheng, as a newly canonized monarch, was also qualified to go up. Before he was crowned a monarch, he was never qualified to go up. Only important ministers of the imperial court and some distinguished officials were eligible to go up. Only those with a noble title can go to the reviewing stand with the emperor.
At this time, hundreds of people were accompanying the emperor on the reviewing stage, like stars over the moon. His Majesty the Emperor was full of high spirits and gave guidance to the country, which was so majestic.
Before every grand event, the Jin Dynasty held a regular military parade. This military parade was not only to demonstrate the power of the Jin court, but also to deter young people from having any objections. It also invited representatives of the old aristocrats of the seven countries. The purpose of coming to watch the ceremony is self-evident.
Of course, the first to enter the military parade were the emperor's personal troops and the Royal Guards. They were uniformly riding white horses, wearing silver armor and silver helmets, with swords and spears like a forest. Flags were fluttering. Each team lined up in a horse formation and entered slowly. It was so majestic. The Kingsguard looks good in platoon, but one look at the spirit shows that he has never been on the battlefield, and the scene of kicking and goose-stepping may be okay.
Behind the Royal Guards is the formation of the border troops stationed on the frontier. Although the team is not very neat, looking at them all with firm eyes and fierce momentum, you know that these people have really been on the battlefield and fought hard.
After several phalanx formations, the ground trembled in the distance, and a dragon-dragon cavalry as tall as a hill entered the scene. Both the dragon cavalry and the beast were covered in black heavy armor. At first glance, they looked like a giant black tower.
The dragoons advanced slowly from the infantry phalanx of the Jin army. The tall beast's body was frightening to watch. The dragon cavalry driver carefully controlled the dragon beast. This was the weapon of the Jin army to sweep the world in field battles.
The dragon beast has a thick layer of down all over its body, its hind limbs are extremely strong, and its forelimbs are short. It relies on its muscular hind legs to move forward. It has a short jaw on its head and sharp teeth. It looks very fierce at first glance. The dragon beast's body is thick and thick. Covered in downy hair, at first glance, it looks like a giant chocobo.
According to the legend, the Jin Army's dragoons were heavily armored, both human and animal. They charged into the enemy formation without retreating. They were like a giant tank. When everyone on the viewing platform saw the Jin Army's dragoons, there was a sudden commotion. Seeing this scene, the old nobles of the seven kingdoms seemed to remind them of the fear that the vassal states in the Central Plains were dominated by the Jin army's dragon cavalry.
Mu Sheng also looked at everything in front of him with great interest on the viewing platform. He had been born in a deep palace since he was a child, and he often read books to see the descriptions in the text. It was also the first time for him to see such a ferocious beast from another world. It was really eye-opening. .
In fact, the method of domesticating this dragon beast was taught to the Jin people by the Huns. Although this kind of giant beast is powerful, the cost of domesticating it is also very high. The main reason is that the appetite is too large and it eats meat. Most people really can't raise it. Starting from the beginning, the most powerful Huns, the Dayi clan in the North Sea, could only tame a few hundred dragon beasts due to their lack of materials. In normal battles, they could only gather less than a hundred to show off, so that they could already sweep across the grassland. The tribe's dragon beast knights are generally used as a trump card in the end.
But since the Jin State mastered the method of domesticating this beast, the rules of the game have completely changed. The Jin State has a vast territory, a large population, and abundant products. It is not comparable to the nomadic tribes on the grassland. At this time, it directly tamed tens of thousands of dragon beasts. At least a thousand dragon beast knights can be formed to charge into battle every time.
The materials consumed by a team of 1,000-headed dragon cavalry in group operations are equivalent to the consumption of several large legions. Even if the Jin State is rich and wealthy, limited by its logistical support capabilities, the Jin Army's dragoons can only send out a maximum of 1,000 troops each time. Start riding.
In the history of the Jin State, the largest number of dragoons recorded in the battle was about 2,000. If there were more, the logistics department would come to scold them. Moreover, the Jin State had a very high level of metal smelting, and the weapons and armor were not to mention, which led to the Jin State's It formed a huge military advantage over the various tribes of the Huns, not only against the Huns, but also over the seven Kwantung kingdoms.
The Jin army's dragoons were like a nightmare to the various vassal states in the Kanto region. On the battlefield, the Jin army's dragoons were basically invincible in the field.
The Dragon Beast Dragon Cavalry is a bit like the nuclear deterrence of modern countries. Only the top big countries in the world can afford it. The Dragon Cavalry is too expensive and the cost of ownership is too high. Small countries can only stay away. .
Mu Sheng watched the army formations with solemn appearance passing by the viewing platform one after another. His heart was filled with excitement. If he had the opportunity to command such an invincible army in battle, it would be a life well spent!
