And the so-called sect issues are obviously just an excuse. How could they really be so important?
Past lessons have proven that these barbarians will only push further. Meeting their religious demands will only make them more complacent. Just can't have too many illusions about them.
In addition, the territory of the Khanate surrounds the Black Sea. It seems to be very large, but many places, especially the military mansions on the northern plains, actually do not have much reliable depth. Therefore, the Khan's court has always maintained a high degree of vigilance and maintained a proactive and proactive policy.
Because of this, although it is nominally a training and management institution, the military government also undertakes a large number of early warning, reconnaissance and even combat tasks.
In order to maintain peace in the hinterland and prevent attacks and destruction, military soldiers must take the initiative to go out on inspections, monitor enemies in border areas, and even destroy their forward fortresses, capture and interrogate prisoners - even if there are no regular troops from Poland and other countries, this is inevitable There will be barbarian chiefs who will covet the legion's wealth and try to grab a piece of it.
On the other hand, the white slave trade was one of the stable incomes for many military governments, and it was also the main source of extra income for legionnaires during their spare time. Therefore, the military government itself will organize military operations to destroy barbarian villages and capture slaves.
Therefore, such small-scale conflicts are very common in the local area.
In large-scale wars, the Khan's court would send generals and staff to command the entire army, but the military government itself was responsible for these frequent daily actions.
Under severe external pressure, although there is still harmony within the Khan's court, the requirements for the heirs of each family are also very high. What they passed down from generation to generation was not so much their territory and power, but their influence in the legion. If the heir's ability and prestige are insufficient, it is likely to lead to a decline in the family's status.
Since historians have arranged for Shi Ke to go to the navy, they must come up with a reliable candidate to prove his ability to defend Northern Romania and safeguard the interests of local citizens. Otherwise, the Greeks will also question whether their arrangement is appropriate. Therefore, this pressure came to Shi Ke's cousin Stan.
But so far, Stan's performance has not been outstanding. When he served as a local official, he seemed to be more conservative than aggressive.
In other places, people might be able to accept it, but in Northern Romania, where there is fierce competition, people with this kind of personality are a little bit unpopular. Hundreds of households have privately and tactfully suggested to the head of the family, Shi Mingyuan, that they either transfer the eldest son back, or find a way for the second son to achieve military merit. It is best to capture a large number of prisoners, so that the legionnaires can feel at ease.
In the Nanya military system, the position of hundreds of households is not high, but their status is very important. In these border farms, the organizers of the estates were both village chiefs in peacetime and peasant and soldier captains in wartime. They are between upper-level commanders and lower-level soldiers, and are an important link in transmitting orders and feedback.
The religious beliefs of the Purple Horde Khan are very...hard to describe in a word. If it were any other force, they might have been killed by the Crusaders. In the earliest days, the upper echelons of the Khanate were not of the same ethnic group as the local Slavs and Bulgars, and they spoke different words.
It can be said that the support of so many soldiers is basically due to good treatment and the ability to win and defend everyone; and the support of legionnaires is also the reason why the Purple Horde can survive in this hostile land. The essential.
Therefore, the thoughts of frontline legionnaires are a very important object to observe. According to tradition, when a problem occurs, households report the situation privately, which is the first step in the processing process. If it is not handled well, someone may go to the Great Office to complain, or even gather a crowd to expel the military governor like during the Anda War.
In this regard, Shi Mingyuan was troubled and could not express his feelings.
Stan was his younger brother's son, but he really regarded Stan as the heir to the military government and carefully groomed him - since his second son died in infancy, he had no other choice.
However, a cavalry general really depends on his talent. In this position, you have to make key decisions frequently, which requires courage and even intuition. No matter how smart a person is, no matter how familiar he is with the art of war, in many cases he cannot replace this rather metaphysical talent.
Some people think that Shi Ke can be transferred back, but this would be equivalent to giving up the previous business, and Shi Ke may not be suitable. If you want to take care of both sides, you may have to adopt an adopted son in the end, or directly exchange with other families.
It may be this complicated situation that inspired his niece Shi Huizhen's ambition.
Unlike brothers Shi Ke and Shi Dan, who were not very flamboyant, Shi Huizhen liked to dance with guns and sticks, and even when they were having sex, they thought she was a martial arts lunatic. Not only that, she also suddenly thought that she could replace her brother Stan and assume military obligations.
Shi Mingyuan thought this was nonsense and didn't take her seriously. So Shi Huizhen managed to get permission from several other elders and borrowed dozens of cavalry, saying that she wanted to go out for a walk. Everyone thought she was going to lead the troops to show off, so they ignored her.
However, Shi Huizhen had already made a plan. She inquired about a Polish border camp and managed to convince the soldiers. Everyone set out from the outpost overnight and broke into the camp in the morning when the Polish soldiers were praying. The defenders collapsed instantly, and the minor nobles guarding the camp were also beheaded by them.
Shi Huizhen came back, dismissed the soldiers, changed into a bloody armor, carried a package and went home to tell the good news. Her mother thought she had gone shopping in the city and asked her what she had brought. As a result, she took out the heads of Polish nobles, which shocked her mother.
After this incident, Shi Huizhen became famous.
The family is quite taboo about this. Some elders instantly thought of Wu Zetian's horse training.
It is said that when Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty got a horse, he had not yet tamed it. On a whim, he asked everyone around him who had a way. Wu Zetian volunteered to stand up and said that she could do it, and she only needed three tools: an iron whip, a hammer, and a dagger.
Taizong was curious and asked her how she planned to tame the horse. Wu Zetian said that she would first use an iron whip to whip it; if it still refused to obey, she would use a hammer; if it failed, she would kill it with a dagger.
After Taizong, he ignored her, probably thinking that this person was too violent and cruel: Horses are trained for riding. If you kill all the horses, why are you still riding?
However, it is a pity that Wu Zetian still gained power later, and indeed used this method to deal with famous heroes and generals.
The ancestors recognized by historians originate from the line of Ashina Yuanqing, the Khan of the Western Turks who was canonized by the Tang Dynasty. Shi Yuanqing himself was framed by the cruel official Lai Junchen and died at the hands of Wu Zetian. Even the entire family was exiled to Yazhou.
This is a very painful lesson: killing the horse will indeed save trouble, but if you continue to kill it like this, the Tang Dynasty will probably become the Song Dynasty.
Now, there is such a violent woman in my own family. When he was a teenager, he went to the battlefield for the first time. Not only did he not feel any discomfort, but he was also able to run around with his bloody head. That year, Grand Master Totuo Mametinikus went to the battlefield for the first time, but he vomited. One place, everyone knows it.
If this continues, this little girl will probably become more cruel and terrifying than Wu Zetian.
The uncles thought that this incident was too abnormal and there must be something strange about it.
If she were allowed to take power, then this time, even if there were any living members of the family, they would probably have to be exiled to Nuergan to watch the kobolds baring their teeth.
There are still a few chapters left, I’ll put them in order. Then there are a bit too many rewards, which doesn’t feel good. I’ll make up for the endless rewards before the end of the year...
