Chapter 433 The Great Wall
He was well aware of the Tatars' thirst for the Black Stone, after all, the winters in the steppes were too long and cold, even so long and cold that even cattle and sheep in thick furs could hardly survive a complete cold winter without freezing to death.
Therefore, whether it is Temujin who has great ambitions in his heart, or Sang Kun who is for his own interests, he is naturally full of desire for the black stone in Ye Qing's mouth, hoping to have a large number of black stones to ensure that they can live a little more comfortable in the long winter on the grassland in the future.
Temujin only began to attack the Naiban subordinates after the destruction of the Kereh tribe, and then fought all the way down Wuzhou, and finally destroyed the Jin state.
Therefore, for Ye Qing, telling Temujin about the black stone in Wuzhou and the fact that there are a large number of black stones in Yunzhou is like a double-edged sword.
He didn't know if this would make Temujin speed up the pace of unifying the grassland, nor did he know if it was because of this, if Temujin unified the grassland, he would attack Wuzhou first and destroy the Jin Kingdom, or whether he would directly capture Yunzhou, and then enter the Central Plains.
As a famous military strategist in history, Ye Qing naturally couldn't guess what kind of changes Temujin would make as the historical situation changed.
But no matter what, for Ye Qing, Temujin's unification of the grassland and then entering the Central Plains was not what he wanted to see.
One wolf or two wolves can run in the flock, and the strength and compatibility of Han Confucian culture believe that wolves will soon be able to turn into wolf dogs or sheep.
But if a group of hungry and crazy wolves rush into the wolves of the Central Plains, then the wolves and sheep will form a nondescript culture between fusion and killing, and then that culture will not be removed from the bones of the nation even after a few hundred years.
Therefore, for Ye Qing, before Temujin unified the steppe, the contradictions between the Tatars and the Jin people who had to find ways to continue to expand, and it was best for both sides to face each other with unbearable swords, so that maybe the Southern Song Dynasty military generals who shouted every day to recover the lost territory really had the slightest chance to recover the lost half of the country.
Blackstone is enough to be a reason, but obviously it will definitely not be the only fuse, and it will be the cool official methods such as killing people and extorting goods, exploiting and squeezing, etc., that will make the Tatars rise up again, and it will be before reunification.
In this way, Ye Qing can only still hope for the greed of the Jin people and the intensification of the character, after all, the greater the benefits brought by the black stone, the Jin people will inevitably expand the scale of coal mining.
Wan Yan Yong advocated rest and recuperation in the Jin Kingdom, and it was obviously impossible for his people to come to Wuzhou to mine coal seams, and the Song people were in the Central Plains, as long as they did not shout rebellion and hope for Wang Shi every day, Wan Yan Yong would obviously not take the initiative to provoke them.
Then if you want to help them earn wealth with large-scale manpower, so that the Jin country can reach a certain level of prosperity in a short time, it is necessary to squeeze the Tatars to help them mine coal.
Just as capital exploits and appropriates the surplus value of the people's labor without compensation, as long as the Jin people continue to be greedy, the Tatars will one day clash with the Jin people before reunification, which is very good news for the Song and Xia.
In the tent of the grassland, Lao Liu Tou, who had handed over everything with Po Li San, counted the days with his fingers every day, and the cold wind on the grassland was still like a knife, beating people's faces, and the south had already entered the lively and noisy Yuan Day again after Lao Liu Tou counted his fingers for more than half a month.
Temujin took his belongings and a large number of herdsmen from the Besu tribe, Tai Chi U, and the Mi'er beggar tribe, and began to return to the Qiyan tribe in the depths of the grassland, and Ye Qing also began to take his 100 men and set off on the same day, along the Yellow River all the way west and then south.
Sankhin was satisfied with the wealth and women that the tribal war had brought to the Kreb, but he was also dissatisfied with Temujin taking some of the captives.
But in any case, this was the decision of his father, the king Khan, to get rid of Hanlil, and now he, the little khan who has not yet grasped real power, has no way to stop it.
The snow on the grassland has melted a lot, but the weather is still extremely cold, a rare day of good weather, Temujin watched with satisfaction as the mighty procession began to set off, the cows, sheep, and horses were noisy and mixed together, making their own cries, as if they were reluctant to say goodbye to their "hometown".
In the same way, the herdsmen of the defeated tribes, one by one, with a pair of eyes without the slightest emotion and numb expressions, under the back and forth patrol of the cavalry of the Qiyan Division, drove the carriages and ox carts to carry the whole family, and followed the vast crowd to the depths of the grassland.
From time to time, there will be the arrogant laughter of the Qiyan cavalry, as well as the crying of children, the sound of mothers begging for mercy, and the picture of the husband being mercilessly punched and kicked by the Qiyan cavalry, but he did not dare to fight back.
Ye Qing and Temujin, who were riding on horseback, shifted their eyes from the noisy crowd to each other, and Temujin's expressions seemed to be accustomed to the roughness and barbarism of his men.
In his opinion, the warriors of the Tatars, whether they have a crush on a married woman or an unmarried woman, as long as they can grab it by virtue of their own skills, then everything is reasonable and legal, and it is allowed on the steppe without being blamed.
Therefore, Ye Qing didn't show anything abnormal about what he saw just now, but Temujin smiled and said, "Do you think we are very barbaric, compared to you Song people?" ”
"Compared to the Jin people, they are already barbaric enough, not to mention the Song people, who have always put courtesy first, if it were the Song people, I am afraid that they would have been accused of blocking ...... long ago." Ye Qing said half of it, and then smiled and stopped talking.
Because he suddenly remembered in his mind that when he was in Lin'an, he had a grudge with Qishi Lie Zhining, wasn't it because Zhong Qing was blocked by him, and the Song people, who were courteous, were just standing on the sidelines and watching the excitement, and no one stopped them?
"You Song people also want to regain half of your lost country, right? Are the Song people powerful? Temujin continued to ask.
"Compared to other peoples, it is definitely powerful, no matter what it is. But in the process of evolution, there will always be some dross, of course, there will be detours, but sooner or later it will change back and get back on the right path. Ye Qing said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Temujin's eyes were deep, Ye Qing's eyes were playful, the two sat on horseback, and while waiting for Sang Kun, they quietly looked at each other silently, and the atmosphere became more and more weird.
"If one day, I want to go to Lin'an to see my brother." Temujin said suddenly.
"My brother is always welcome." Ye Qing said with a smile.
"What if you take my warriors from the steppe to Lin'an? Will you welcome me? Temujin asked again.
Ye Qing sighed slightly, the war horse under his crotch adjusted his direction, stood on the grassland and looked into the South Pole, and said calmly: "I know why the Chinese nation has been built since the Qin Dynasty."
The Great Wall? ”
"In order to prevent the barbarians of our steppe from destroying your beautiful homeland." Temujin also turned his horse's head slightly, and looked south.
Just as Ye Qing was full of mysteries about the Qiyan tribe and other tribes in the depths of the grassland, Temujin and other Tatars only stayed in rumors and longings for the Southern Song Dynasty, which had always been rich and luxurious.
They want to know what kind of wealth the Southern Song Dynasty really looked like, because the four seasons are like spring, whether everyone's family has cattle and sheep that don't freeze to death every year, they all have endless silk and satin, and whether they can eat very full at every meal.
And you don't have to be like them, you need to face the cold season for most of the year, and you have to take care of herds of cattle and sheep that are even more important than your own life.
Of course, in their imagination, the background and foundation of the Song people's wealth are naturally based on their ability to exert their imagination to the extreme on the vast grassland, and they imagined that they were as rich as a joke in the eyes of the Song people.
Like two worlds that will never intersect, a ruined Great Wall divides everything clearly, making the most obvious distinction between China and barbarians in terms of geographical location.
"Have you been to Lin'an or the Central Plains?" Ye Qing smiled and nodded, and then continued to ask.
Temujin shook his head, his expression was somewhat sad and lonely, and he looked at the south of the vast grassland with Ye Qing, as well as the invisible broken Great Wall, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "The broken Great Wall in your mouth is cut off from everything. Even we Tatars are friendly and eager to associate and learn from you. But the ruined Great Wall is taller and more dangerous than any mountain in this world, and it is even more callously refusal to prevent us from approaching. As soon as we approach, we will be greeted not by our mare's milk and spirits, but by arrows and spears. So sooner or later...... Even if I can't tear down the Great Wall that you Han people have built for thousands of years, generation after generation, country after country, I, Temujin, will enter the Central Plains openly and let the Han people know that the barbarians on the grassland are not as barbaric as you think. ”
Temujin's gaze slowly turned to Ye Qing, who looked as usual, with an easy-going smile on the corner of his mouth, and continued to say in a deep voice: "We need help, especially when the cold winter comes. Cattle and sheep that depend on each other, even more important than life, will freeze to death, our herdsmen, in the cold winter, will use their naked bodies, holding cattle and sheep to get some warmth for them, just hope that they can survive a cold winter, can give birth smoothly in the coming year. The vast grasslands are snowing heavily, and people will starve to death or freeze to death if they don't have food. But you know, our herders would rather go hungry than let their cattle and sheep go hungry. So we need to ask for food from the rich Central Plains, not arrows and knives and guns, but on the other side of the Great Wall, for thousands of years, we have often been given cold arrows and ridicule, as well as merciless abuse, and never thought that we were part of the Chinese nation in your mouth. ”
"I ......."
"You Han people only remember our barbarism and backwardness, when did you treat us as human beings? In the eyes of you Han people, the majestic and majestic Great Wall, what a symbol of the dragon, the so-called not to the Great Wall is not a hero. In my Temujin's eyes, it is simply a symbol of your Han people's cowardice and cowardice! Temujin's tone was full of irony and resentment, and he said coldly without giving Ye Qing a chance to speak.
