Mobei grassland.
Beidi has made a living by herding sheep or horses since ancient times. Generally speaking, the herdsmen live very casually and set up camp wherever they go to herd. They are very mobile and there are few fixed cities.
There are relatively few vast grasslands, natural pastures and areas near water, but these are the best areas for grazing, so many conflicts inevitably occur.
In order to protect themselves and compete for space, people began to herd animals together, and slowly, tribes were formed.
Of course, after tribes were formed, chaos was inevitable. Large tribes began to plunder small tribes, and wars between tribes continued to compete for good pastures.
Later, a talented man appeared, Shane's grandfather.
Starting from a small tribe, they jointly conquered all over the country, finally unified the grassland and put an end to the tribal wars in Beidi.
Then the territories were divided for each tribe, so that the people on the grassland gradually formed an orderly life.
The herdsmen had no way to open up wasteland and cultivate land except for grazing, but they could not live without food, so they began to exchange their cattle and sheep for resources in the border towns of Liang Kingdom.
Originally, this situation was good, but over time, the nomadic tribes began to envy the materials and life in the Central Plains, which led to frequent frictions and constant plunder in the North.
Later, Grandfather Shane began to gather troops and went south, invaded the Central Plains and occupied many cities.
Liang Jinggong made Tang Yuchun (the grandfather of Tang Yue) defeat Beidi.
By the time of King Liang, Mobei was pacified many times, and Beidi was completely driven back to his hometown, establishing the current territory.
This is the development history of Beidi.
Shane inherited the position of ruler of the grassland and took advantage of the ghost tribe's invasion to think of going south to invade, but was beaten by Tang Yue and the Qin army.
Then Xiao Yuan unified the world, and Sha En was afraid that the Qin army would go north to settle accounts, so he sent envoys in time to pay tribute and declare himself a minister.
At present, Shan Yu's big tent is piled with a lot of materials exchanged from the Central Plains. They were all used by Beidi merchants to honor the nobles after they returned from trading.
Since Beidi has expressed its surrender, the trade between the two sides is naturally open to each other. Xiao Yuan also needs Mobei's horses, cattle and sheep.
Looking at these things, Shane couldn't help but stand up.
He is about forty years old, has a thick beard, his hair is disheveled, and he is dressed in heavy prairie attire.
There are still several confidants in the tent, some are touching exquisite silks, some are holding snow-white rice, and some are looking at other things, all of them can't put it down.
Beidi General Bo'er Shu held the silk in his hand and said, "Recently, the women in the tribe especially like clothes made of this kind of satin."
"This kind of fabric is certainly more comfortable to wear than broken leather." Someone else said.
"Yes, the Central Plains is vast and rich in resources."
Shane then sighed, grabbed a handful of rice and said, "It would be great if the Central Plains countries were at war like before. It's a pity that Emperor Qin is too strong and can't see any sand in his eyes."
"Actually, this is quite good. We use the meat and leather we produce in exchange for other materials from the Central Plains. Everyone is in peace and stability and everyone gets what they need." Bo'er Shu said casually.
Upon hearing this, Shane glanced at him.
But he didn't say anything, but changed the subject and said, "Are you ready for all the gifts presented to Emperor Qin this year?"
"Everything is ready. We will go to Chang'an just waiting for the order from the Great Chanyu." Bo'er Shu put down the silk and satin and said.
"Yes." Shane nodded: "Just send Sangtu as your envoy and leave as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Bo'er Shu took the order.
After talking about other things, Shane said casually: "Emperor Qin has already recovered Dongyi. It only took the Qin army less than three months to invade the main city of Dongyi."
"Ah? So fast?" Boer Shu said in surprise.
"Yes." Shane sighed and waved his hand: "Move the things down."
"Yes!" Several people bowed and left.
Southern Xinjiang.
The entire Southern Barbarian region, like Beidi, is composed of multiple tribes, or ethnic groups.
Their social order is a clan structure, and the clan leaders are equivalent to various chief executives.
The largest and most powerful leader leads the other small groups.
However, the population here is relatively sparse and the environment is harsher.
But unlike Beidi, Southern Xinjiang has been close to the Central Plains since the Baimi people came to power, asking Qin for various agricultural techniques, and has begun to open up wasteland and cultivate land.
The leader of the Baimi tribe is named Meng Ya. When the Chu State invited the Nanman King to enter the pass, Meng Ya strongly opposed it and was unwilling to go to war with the Central Plains. Afterwards, the Nanman King was destroyed by the Qin army. Xiao Yuan also met with Meng Ya at Nanping Pass. .
Meng Ya desperately hopes for peace.
The result of the meeting was that Xiao Yuan supported him in taking control of southern Xinjiang, and Daqin only recognized the leadership of the Bai Mi clan in southern Xinjiang.
This situation is equivalent to the Qin State being the backing of the Baimi people. Therefore, its position in southern Xinjiang is extremely stable.
Today, Meng Ya is already recognized as the great leader of Southern Xinjiang. With his attitude of being close to the Qin State, the people of Southern Xinjiang have had frequent exchanges with the Central Plains in recent years. They are deeply aware of the vastness of the Central Plains culture and are deeply affected. They have a kind of gradual Integrated situation.
And Xiao Yuan had never thought about conquering southern Xinjiang. Even if he returned to rule, it would be relatively tolerant.
Currently, Meng Ya was chatting with his wife in the big leader's village.
He is about the same age as Xiao Yuan, and he is quite handsome. Although his hair accessories are different from those of Zhongyuan, he is also the kind of person who looks quite gentle.
His wife is the daughter of another powerful clan leader. Although she is a married woman, her appearance is still very beautiful.
After chatting for a while, Meng Ya said, "Where's Xiaoling?"
"She went out to play. She will probably be back soon." The wife smiled softly.
Just as he was talking, there was the sound of trotting, the door opened, and a teenage girl rushed in, threw herself into Meng Ya's arms, and sweetly shouted: "Daddy."
Meng Ya's heart melted, and she held her daughter in her arms and said affectionately: "Is Xiaoling turning ten years old this year?"
"Well, Dad, you forgot, we prepared a bonfire dinner for Ling'er some time ago." Meng Ling looked aggrieved.
The little girl's clothing is very ethnic-style, she looks cute, and her big eyes are bright and beautiful.
"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten. How could dad forget?" Meng Ya smiled heartily, put her daughter down, and rubbed her little head lovingly: "Ling'er, be good, go out to play first, dad has something to discuss with your mother-in-law. , I’ll ask your mother-in-law to prepare delicious food for you in the evening.”
"Yeah, yeah, there's something delicious to eat tonight." The little girl was so happy that she jumped up and ran away.
Meng Ya looked at his daughter's back for a while, then pulled his wife to sit down at the table.
"It must be a big deal, just tell me." The wife seemed to feel something.
Meng Ya hesitated for a moment and said, "I want Ling'er to go to Chang'an."
"I heard that Emperor Qin's children are about the same age as Ling'er."
