On the edge of Rehu Lake, there are dozens and hundreds of palace tents, and a large number of warriors wearing gorgeous robes are riding on horses chasing each other.
This is the newly appointed Balasa Gonjuer Khan Zhang Zhao, who is leading his people to hunt for fun.
By the way, Zhang Dahan also changed Balasagon to Suiye, and the original Suiye City, which had not been completely abandoned, became the old Suiye City.
Fan Quan, who was riding a white horse and had excellent archery skills, shot back a large yellow sheep. He showed off to Zhang Zhao while riding on his horse. Ma Yaozi, who loved to eat fish and was good at cooking fish, was carrying a big fish weighing more than 20 kilograms. , equally proud.
However, Zhang Zhao did not dare to eat the fish he cooked, because the most popular way to eat fish at this time was to eat fish breasts, which is also sashimi. Zhang Zhao was a little respectful and insensitive.
In later generations, he would not even dare to eat raw salmon. Who knew if it was freshwater rainbow trout? In this era, he was even more afraid. If he had a stomach full of parasites, it would be almost as if there was no cure.
So, in Ma Yaozi's resentful eyes, Zhang Zhao asked him to take the huge fish and make fish dumplings elsewhere.
Zhang Zhao picked out a few larger Lake Ixay fish (gui four sounds) and prepared to make some grilled fish.
Although there are no chili peppers, there are still a lot of dried dogwoods, and Zhang Zhao also discovered a treasure here, which is onions.
He vaguely remembered that onions were only introduced to our country in the 20th century. It seemed that they were introduced from the United States. He didn't know why they were introduced from the United States so recently?
Zhang Zhao asked Guo Wan'er and Ayiguli that this thing was brought over by the Persians, and now many people are planting it in the hometown of Zhaowu's nine surnames.
Could it be... Zhang Zhao touched his chin and looked at the onion about the size of an orange in his hand. Is it because modern onions were selected and bred by Americans? This orange-sized onion is indeed very different from later generations.
No matter, from now on it will no longer be called onion but shallot, which can be regarded as a rare contribution of Zhang Zhao's time travel.
Onions are very good for seasoning, and they can also kill parasites to a certain extent. They are very suitable to be added to ordinary people's tables.
Anchovy is a general term for a relatively small spotted miscellaneous fish. It is also found in many rivers in China. Generally, the largest one is only about one pound. The Lake Ixay is slightly larger, weighing one pound, seven or eight taels. Perfect for grilled fish.
However, a group of Balasagons, that’s not right! A group of Broken Leaf nobles looked at Zhang Zhao with some discomfort.
Because they actually don't eat fish in Lake Ixay. Even during times of famine, if the herdsmen want to catch some, the nobles will not allow it.
It's not that they are reluctant to catch fish in the lake. As a large lake of more than 6,000 square kilometers, there are as many fish as there are in it. Even if all the tens of thousands of people around the lake come to eat, they can still afford it.
These people don't eat, actually out of awe. As the deepest mountain lake in the world with a depth of more than 700 meters, the surface of Lake Ixsay is not actually very beautiful. Instead, it looks unusually blue because it is too deep. There is a chilling feeling of fear.
Especially people with deep sea phobia are easily afraid of it and can easily associate it with underwater monsters and the like.
Therefore, people around do not eat fish from Atami because they are actually afraid of offending the lake god or the lake monster.
Sanzang of the Tang Dynasty who passed through this place had a special record of this lake. He said that this lake was full of roaring waves, with dragons and fish everywhere, and there were ghosts and monsters everywhere. Dare to fish.
It seems that this Master Sanzang also has a sense of fear for the natural magnificence of this lake. For a virtuous monk to record the occurrence of ghosts and monsters, it is enough to prove the pressure this lake brings to the people around it.
Even the historical author of "Journey to the West" was affected. It is said that the prototype of Bibo Lake is this lake.
The Halloween Princess and the Nine-Headed Worm are not good things. Isn’t the image of the Nine-Headed Worm the monster in people’s minds?
The grilled fish is ready. The onions, tofu, celery and dogwood are cooked in oil and are fragrant. The grilled fish is even more charred on the outside and tender on the inside. This is made by the new Khan, who dares not to give him face?
A group of Broken Leaf nobles and religious leaders gathered around him, including Master Titsigu who had not yet left.
However, Zhang Zhao was not prepared to let him eat it. Although Buddhism was not too taboo on meat at this time, it was very taboo on foods with strong flavors such as onions and garlic.
Glancing at the people who didn't want to eat but had to eat, Zhang Zhao looked serious.
"You can eat the fish from this lake in the future, because I discussed it with the Lake God of Atami in my dream last night. The Lake God said that if he agrees, he will use thunder rising from the bottom of the lake as a sure sign!"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion as they spoke. It was one thing to believe in God and worship God, but it was another thing to actually see God appear in front of them.
Zhang Zhao suppressed his laughter, turned around and waved to the lake in a very pretentious manner, "God of Lake Rehai, this Khan has arrived, it's your turn to keep your promise!"
"Boom!" Just a few breaths after Zhang Zhao waved his hand, a muffled thunder sounded from the bottom of the lake, shocking people's hearts.
Then a ray of fire swept across the bottom of the lake with thunder and lightning, and even the calm surface of the dark blue Atami seemed to be turbulent. It really seemed like something was responding to Zhang Zhao.
"The God of Rehai has responded to Khan. From now on, all the fish caught in Rehai can be enjoyed by Khan's people!"
"Khan is the true god of Broken Leaf, and he is the only one who has been blessed by the God of Rehai! This is something even Kadir Khan has never done!"
Prepare a large bag of gunpowder in advance and hang it on a heavy iron lump, use the fishing boat as a cover, put the fuse into a well-sealed oil paper, then throw it into the water and light the fuse to explode.
There is nothing special, and it can even be said to be a bit crude, but it is enough to scare these tenth-century country bumpkin tribal chiefs.
Under the vigorous performance of a group of stooges selected from the Guo family, the nobles of Suiye clan who were shocked by the gunpowder explosion once again knelt on the ground. They sang praises to Zhang Zhao, the great Khan. Compared with before, I became a lot more pious.
Amidst the cheers, Zhang Zhao looked at the people kneeling on the ground with satisfaction, "The God of Rehai told Ben Khan in his dream last night that the current catastrophe of Suiye could not be solved by relying on Ben Khan and his soldiers fighting bravely. And eliminate.
But far in the south, in Shule, the Buddha's calamity was far from over.
Because this thief, Saktu, betrayed his ancestors and the Buddha, and also defiled the Buddha's holy place and relics.
Ancient Master Titexi, I wonder if the Burana Buddhist Temple can take on the important task of rebuilding the Shule Dayun Temple and protecting the Buddha's relics? "
Building so many fancy things is one thing to increase Zhang Zhao's prestige among the nobles in Suiye City.
What's more important is how to get Titsigu and the monks from the Burana Buddhist Temple to Shule in a reasonable and reasonable way.
Although Nestorianism is the religion with the largest number of believers in Suiye, Buddhism is also very influential.
If administrative power is used to drive Titsigu to Shule, it will obviously cause divisions or even conflicts among the Suiye City believers, which is not in Zhang Zhao's interests.
Titsigu glanced at Zhang Zhao. He definitely didn't want to go to Shule. The Buddhists there were almost killed and dispersed by Saktu. It would be very difficult to develop new followers.
And talking about rebuilding Dayun Temple is even more nonsense, because Dayun Temple has been destroyed and only some dirt remains. Who knows whether the Great Sage of the Jin Kingdom really wants to rebuild Dayun Temple? ? How much food can be allocated?
If he didn't want to go, Titsigu thought, if he didn't want to go, now might be the only chance.
Titusi Gu doesn’t care about the God of Hot Sea. I am Master Tripitaka, and I read the fundamental mantra of King Sakyamuni!
However, he glanced at the hundreds of elite cavalry who were kneeling by the lake. He knew how powerful these people were.
The Persian army of 30,000 came, but they were defeated by a few charges. They even defeated the Ghulam Guards of Saktu at the foot of Poluzhou City with one enemy against ten.
All right! Thinking of this, Titsigu suddenly felt that it was not so difficult to accept going to Shule to rebuild Dayun Temple.
"The poor monk Tite Xigu is willing to lead the monks from the Burana Buddhist Temple to Shule. Dayun Temple was once the Buddhist kingdom of Anxi and was built by His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It also preserves the relics of Sakyamuni Buddha and can It is an honor for a poor monk to gain the trust of the Khan and the Great Sage and Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin."
Titsigu swallowed this bitter pill with difficulty, but he did not know that without Zhang Zhao, at this time in history, he would not even be qualified to swallow the bitter pill.
Historically, Saktu besieged the city in May, but could not capture Balashagon, so they could only retreat half-heartedly.
As a result, Titsigu and Pugu Naluo were probably too drunk, and felt that Saktu was at the end of his strength. Just like when they led their army to Julan City to fight the Tianfang cultists in this time and space, they gathered 20,000 horses and came. One went out of the city to pursue.
The overjoyed Saktu quickly returned to his army. There was a big battle at Rehai, and Balasagun's pursuers were wiped out. Pugu Naluo immediately knelt down and expressed his willingness to convert.
Then he entered Saktu in Balasagon, destroyed the Burana Buddhist Temple, and captured Titsigu and other monks to Shule. However, he was not killed, but was imprisoned to death.
More than forty years later, Titxigu's disciple, Nogutrexiti, became the Buddhist leader of Shule City.
With his support, Li Shengtian's son Li Congde led the Khotan-Gaochang coalition to capture Shule in 969, giving the Kara Khanate a fatal blow and almost collapsing the Kara Khanate. Unfortunately, they failed to hold on to victory in the end. fruit.
It has to be said that Titusigu was related to Shule.
When Guo Xuanqing heard Titsigu say this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the monks in Burana Temple moved away, he was confident that he could digest the remaining Buddhists.
Aloha can't do it, don't we still have pastures and fields?
This is the benefit of becoming Suiyeliu. After Zhang Dahan left, he became the biggest leader of Suiye.
Guo Xuanqing squeezed the roster in his hand and prepared to go back and add some more children of the Guo family.
This was also the agreement between him and Zhang Zhao. Among the Guo family's children, a large number of those who had learned calligraphy and were able to ride and shoot would follow Zhang Zhao back east.
At least there will be no less than 500 people. At the same time, Guo Xuanqing will also help Zhang Zhao recruit 200 Nestorian knights.
As compensation, Zhang Zhao agreed to add 1,000 Bashmi tribes to Guo Xuanqing's command. From then on, Suiye's political structure was formed. The strength of the Guo family and Nestorianism was enough for Guo Xuanqing to control this place.
