Chapter 28: Guessing(1/2)
Maodun prepared for this war for more than half a year, and Maodun's military talent was unquestionable.
His secret to victory is to set an example and make his army unite and everyone must follow his steps.
His troops have clear rewards and punishments. No matter who or what status or what kind of person or identity, they will be dead ends as long as they make mistakes. This makes the soldiers at the bottom particularly admire the new Shanyu.
Unlike the old Shanyu, the internal network of relationships in the Huns was stacked, and the loss of nearly 30,000 elite soldiers by the Right Sage King was also lightly let go. This is absolutely impossible to understand.
Now that the internal combat power and execution of the Huns have been reshuffled, it is amazing.
From the border to the gate of the gates and to the Donghu royal court, there are dozens of outposts along the way, and hundreds of miles.
Maodun's arrangement for more than half a year finally took effect at this moment. He pulled out posts one by one, and more than 30,000 troops arrived at the city of Donghu Wangting. The other party realized that he had been surrounded.
Although the Donghu also had more than 100,000 cavalry, its territory was large and similar to the Hun system, and it adopted a tribal feudal system.
It would take as soon as one month to convene a large army of tribes across the country. Now that more than 30,000 elite Hun cavalry have arrived at the city, the King of Donghu realized that the disaster was coming.
The guards of the Donghu royal court had 18,000 cavalrymen, and their positions and defense rules had long been found out by the Hun spies.
After Maodun's 30,000 cavalry arrived at the Donghu royal court, the first target was these 18,000 cavalry.
The two sides carried out a surprise attack, Maodun took the lead, shot out an arrow, hitting the tower sentry of the opponent's military camp. Tens of thousands of cavalry behind him bent their bows and arrows, and tens of thousands of arrows shot into the opponent's military camp.
Maodun put away his bent bow, pulled out his scimitar, and shouted.
"kill!"
With the saddle and stirrup, the combat power of the Huns rose, like a divine weapon from the sky, and the Donghu soldiers who were still confused were dumbfounded. The 18,000 cavalrymen were all cut like winter melons.
Yes, Maodun never thought about leaving prisoners this time. In this era, the concept of country is not strong, but the concept of race is extremely strong. If it is not my race, the concept that one must have different hearts is much stronger than that of later generations.
In later generations, there were more than 560 ethnic groups in China, and in this era, there were more than 560 ethnic groups.
Such nations as the Xiongnu, Donghu, Yuezhi, Qiang, and other famous nations in history have left traces in history.
And more nations, without even a trace in history, completely disappeared into the long river of history.
Many ethnic groups in history once had a population of hundreds of thousands or even millions at a certain period, but later generations had hardly heard of their descendants.
It is not that this nation has completely cut off its descendants, but that at a certain period, their country and tribes were conquered by others, and in the end, only women were left and all men were cleansed.
In ancient times, many tribes and countries launched wars, basically killing the males of the other country and leaving women to breed. Then the next generation born to these women will be their own people.
This is the real ethnic cleansing, and Maodun's plan is roughly the same. He first slaughtered the living power of Donghu and tried his best to slaughter them. All the remaining tribes and women and children were taken as slaves and became appendixes of the Huns.
The Huns were a slave country, and the Donghu was their first goal.
The battle lasted from morning to noon, and 18,000 Donghu cavalry were slaughtered without leaving any one.
After the battle, tens of thousands of war horses and various armor and weapons will be the victories of Hung Maodun, but they have not yet dealt with these for the time being, because the greater fruit of victory has been placed in front of them.
The four gates of the Donghu Royal Court have been opened, and the next time is the time to truly harvest the fruits of victory.
Maodun was covered in blood, but it was all the blood of the enemy. He led thousands of cavalry into the palace where the King of Donghu lived. He killed those who had weapons all the way, without any mercy.
As for the Donghu people, Maodun did not kill the red eye. Those people were all slaves to their Huns, and there would be great uses next.
Maodun rushed into the Donghu royal court, chopped off all the hundreds of people in the Donghu royal family, and then rewarded all the female concubines to his subordinates.
Within the next three days, Maodun began to indulge his 30,000 cavalrymen to start looting property and women, and drove away the Donghu people to start handing over their own carriages and ox carts.
Then, these carriages and ox carts were loaded with trucks of property and grain. A week later, the Donghu royal city, which had existed for a hundred years, was burned and destroyed by Maodun.
Tens of thousands of people in the city were all driven away by his army, driving carriages, ox carriages, and various groups of cattle, sheep and horses. They began to return under the escort of tens of thousands of Hun cavalry.
Two months later, Maodun completely occupied most of the territory of Donghu, and countless Donghu tribes began to migrate and flee. The Donghu tribe alliance country completely disappeared from history.
These migrating and fleeing Donghu tribes will produce new nations in the future, like seeds, once again becoming famous on the stage of history.
This includes the famous Mongolia and Khitan. Flowers are not red for a hundred days and people are not happy for a thousand days. Who is the real winner and who knows?
Maodun's glorious moment finally arrived. His ruthlessness and vision were proven step by step that the once powerful Donghu people were conquered by Maodun. The Huns have believed in the strong since ancient times, and Maodun's reputation has reached its peak.
In the next few months, Donghu completely became the back garden of the Huns. Countless iron cavalry trampled on the land of Donghu, countless tribes were destroyed, and countless tribes chose to migrate to the depths of the grasslands.
The territory of Donghu was gradually eroded by the Huns. Maodun was very fast, as if he was racing against time. He wanted to occupy the entire territory of Donghu as soon as possible and allow the territory of the Huns to expand again.
And it was not just Maodun who raced against time. Han Chunming's Long Kingdom was the same. After learning that the Huns attacked Donghu, Han Chunming was also a little surprised because this was a little different from the history he learned. The Huns should have attacked Donghu for several years, but they did not expect it to be ahead of schedule.
But the history of later generations was just written by previous generations. When the correct time, who knows which year it was actually?
Perhaps it was because of my own reasons that history changed, which is normal. My Dragon Kingdom is so powerful now and is famous in the Western Regions, but I didn’t even write a word in history.
This made Han Chunming a little confused. Could it be that because he changed history, the world was no longer the same world as he used to be?
It felt strange, and Han Chunming didn't know what was going on.
The Huns were in advance and caused a deviation in the history in Han Chunming's mind, which caused him a strong crisis.
He decided to temporarily stop the conquest, and now integrate the domestic resources of the Long Kingdom and make every effort to prepare for the conquest of the Qin Dynasty.
Because he suddenly thought of a possibility that if the Huns launched an attack on the Donghu in advance, would the Qin Dynasty not have perished in advance?
According to the time in history, Qin Shihuang still has nearly one year of life, but if the changes in history and time are caused by his own arrival, Qin Shihuang will die now, will the elixir of immortality be taken by Gao Yao and Yi Xiaochuan?
If this is the case, then I will still be fucked. I must go to Xianyang to check the truth and reality.
The Long Kingdom has also deployed a large number of spies in Xianyang in the past two years. There are many people from the Long Kingdom with faces in the Central Plains. Currently, there are at least thousands of spies in the Qin Dynasty, distributed in various industries.
Currently, the Long Kingdom has formed two spy departments. Han Chunming has not made any fancy names. He is in charge of domestic departments, so he is called the Special Intelligence Bureau of Internal Affairs, with more than 8,000 people.
The secret service department that monitors foreign countries is called the Foreign-related Special Intelligence Bureau, with more than 3,000 people. Han Chunming, the direct leader of the two institutions, is not responsible to any other department.
Today, the Dragon Kingdom is already a giant, with a land area of more than one million square kilometers and has almost dominated the entire Western Regions.
In addition, the total population has exceeded five million, of which the number of troops has exceeded 200,000 and the number of cavalry has exceeded 60,000. If we look at the number of people alone, the army of the Long Kingdom has surpassed the Xiongnu and Yuezhi.
But the situation in Long Kingdom is much more complicated than that of the Huns and Yuezhi. Why have the Huns and Yuezhi and even the Donghu not conquered the Western Regions for so many years?
The reason is very simple. The Western Regions are too complicated. There are hundreds of ethnic groups on this land. The gods they believe in are all kinds of strange and different customs. It is really troublesome to manage them. It is like a quagmire. Whoever comes in dies.
The reason why the Dragon Kingdom was able to conquer the Western Regions was not only a powerful army, but also a belief organization called Dragon Cult. This belief organization developed rapidly, and now there are more than one million believers.
Although the conquering countries in the Western Regions too quickly, only one-fifth of the believers who believe in the Dragon Cult are the people of the Dragon Cult, the cohesion of believers and the cohesion of ordinary people are completely different.
The Dragon Kingdom army is currently composed of 100% believers. Once a small country is conquered, the army has just entered, and the Dragon Kingdom believers will enter the country in batches in an organized manner.
These believers have official authorization. After the war, they will transport large quantities of food and various daily necessities into this country, start to rebuild, help the lower-level people, unite the majority, and allow the Dragon Cult to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people at the beginning.
After having a good public foundation, the Dragon Sect began to promote the theory that the Dragon Sect is the only true god in the world. Once the Dragon Sect preaches the teachings in this country and enters the bottleneck, Han Chunming will enter this country to show the real miracle.
The miracle that Han Chunming showed is even more intimidating. It is just a pediatric department to pick up a few thousand pounds.
You have seen a god wave his hand, and the mountains in the distance are shaking loudly. The mountains open and crack rocks are enough to shock people. Han Chunming will slowly fly up in front of everyone, float into the air, and use the power of science to successfully create a true god.
This is also the reason why the Dragon Kingdom can gain a foothold in such a complex Western Regions and have millions of believers because they have seen miracles with their own eyes and the living true gods with their own eyes.
The changes in productivity brought by technology have also made the food production of the Dragon Kingdom enough to feed millions of people. For the common people, whoever can give them a full meal is the true god and their reborn parents.
Han Chunming put down his work and prepared to set off for Xianyang.
Before leaving, Han Chunming arranged all domestic government affairs and started to set off. Before leaving, he also arranged a large number of personnel to ensure that any problems in the country would be clear as soon as possible.
Today, the senior executives of Long Kingdom already have a complete leadership team. Han Chunming named this team the cabinet, which is very interesting.
There are 32 people in the Long Country Cabinet team, all of whom are leaders of various departments, and each of them has high positions and power. The department under their management controls most of the resources of the Dragon Kingdom, including the army. They are all believers of the Dragon Cult, but they are completely separated from the Dragon Cult.
Within the Dragon Cult, there is also a team called the Holy See, which also has hierarchies. There are more than a hundred members of the Dragon Cult, and these people each control one side and control the millions of believers in the Dragon Kingdom and the huge wealth of the Dragon Cult.
The Dragon Church and the government cabinet are two separate teams. Cabinet members are prohibited from becoming members of the Dragon Church, and members of the Dragon Church are also prohibited from becoming members of the cabinet.
The top leaders of the two teams seem to be very harmonious now, but internal competition is often happening for resources.
The Dragon Sect controls faith.
The cabinet controls the secular world.
Because of the existence of the Dragon Sect, the Dragon Kingdom was able to integrate hundreds of different ethnic groups and countries into the Dragon Kingdom so smoothly.
But Han Chunming knew very well that the Dragon Sect was a double-edged sword. If used well, it could become his greatest help, but once it was not used well, it would backfire himself, including the Dragon Kingdom.
When Han Chunming formulated the national policy, he clearly stipulated that the Dragon Cult is prohibited from preaching in schools and government agencies, and the Dragon Cult is also prohibited from interfering in government work.
This is actually a bit contradictory. Everyone of these cabinet members who hold power is a believer in the Dragon Cult, but it is prohibited to use the Dragon Cult to interfere with various government departments, which is a contradictory.
These contradictions have a lot of hidden dangers, but at least these hidden dangers have not yet appeared, because the current Long Kingdom is like a galloping train. Because the speed is too fast, even if the parts of a certain carriage of the train are loose, no abnormalities will be found.
Whether it is the Dragon Church or the Cabinet, the supreme leader is Han Chunming. In addition to these two departments, Han Chunming also controls two internal and external intelligence departments, which is also Han Chunming's greatest reliance.
These two departments are like the East Factory and the West Factory in the Ming Dynasty, which are responsible for monitoring all officials. They have huge power and are directly under the jurisdiction of the world.
Han Chunming has no experience in governing a country, and can only act based on the experience in his mind.
This time, when Han Chunming went to Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, it was naturally impossible to be alone like before. His spies formed a caravan, and Han Chunming served as a caravan in the caravan.
This caravan is a real caravan. The entire caravan has 130 people, including more than 20 spies from the Dragon Kingdom, and the others are serious caravans.
Among these people, only the boss knew Han Chunming's identity, and the boss was a spy who broke into the Qin Dynasty.
There are hundreds of spies like this who borrowed caravans as cover, all of whom were half trades and half secrets. The goods they sold were genuine goods, and they were naturally specialties of the Long Kingdom, such as paper, glass, ceramic mirrors, etc.
Since the Dragon Kingdom launched the conquest of countries in the Western Regions, the Gem City has completely come to an end and is now basically shut down.
This is normal. The army of the Long Kingdom swept across the Western Regions and was full of wars. The merchants who came to purchase goods were foreign merchants, but now their countries have been conquered and become their own people.
To be continued...
