“Protect Your Majesty!”
Seeing that Yang Zaixing went after slashing Xiao Wanfu, the first fierce general of the Xi people, his speed still did not decrease, and he rushed straight towards the location of Xiao Gan, the Xi Gan’s guards, and immediately shouted and surrounded Xiao Gan.
Xiao Gan was not only the emperor of the Xi kingdom he established, but also the king and patriarch of the Xi tribes.
In other words, the Xi State established by Xiao Gan and the name of the emperor of the Xi State may not be recognized by many people, but Xiao Gan’s identity as the king of Xi people is recognized by all Xi people.
Under the pressure of the Zhou army, perhaps those grassland chambers and various departments will give birth to all kinds of thoughts. When facing a life and death crisis, he abandoned Xiao Gan and chose to flee or surrender.
But these taunting ministries will not.
In other words, Xiao Gan’s direct Xiren headquarters will not.
In addition to the fact that they are Xiao Gan’s tribal army and have more or less blood relations with each other, but also because their interests are bound to Xiao Gan.
If Xiao Gan, the king of Xi, is still there, then they can continue to live a good life under Xiao Gan’s leadership. At least it will have a better life than the other steppe departments.
But if Xiao Gan is gone, then these Xiao Gan’s henchmen will not have a good life.
They may be robbed and fallen by the grassland forces that were once ruled by the Xi people, or they may be destroyed by the Zhou army or captured for hard labor.
It is more likely to fall apart after a major defeat and then be annexed by other steppe tribes and become slaves to those tribes that were once subject to the Xi people.
It’s like the relationship between the Khitan people of the Liao State and the Jurchens of the Jin Country. Once upon a time, the Liao State established by the Khitans was the hegemon of the world.
Not only did the Zhao and Song dynasties in the Central Plains who pressed south take the initiative to seek peace, and pay the year coins every year. It even made all the tribes in the north except the Khitan subordinate.
Even the Xioren Xiao clan, who married the Khitan people for generations, was originally a man who was subdued by the Khitans.
As for the Jurchen Yan clan, who lived in the black water of the White Mountain, the Mengmu Room Wei Tiele and other tribes living in the Yin Mountain and Yanran Mountain were even the objects of enslavement by the Khitan rule.
The Khitan themselves were nomads, and in order to prevent other nomads from taking the place of the Khitans, they not only restricted the flow of iron tools to the grassland departments, but also imposed heavy taxes on the grassland departments.
Every year, a large number of cattle and sheep are collected from all parts of the grassland to weaken the power of the grassland departments.
After all, without enough cattle and sheep, it is impossible to reproduce enough people, and without enough population, it is impossible to shake the rule of the Khitans.
Even if heavy taxes were levied on the Jurchens and grassland tribes, the Khitan people were still not at ease, and they would organize four hunting activities in spring, summer, autumn and winter every year.
To put it bluntly, it is to go to the grassland to randomly kill Hu, eliminate Ding Zhuang in all parts of the grassland, and go to the white mountains and black waters to fight the Jurchens and eliminate the living power of the Jurchens.
However, even so, it did not maintain the permanent hegemony of the Khitans.
Because the Khitan people bullied the Jurchens too ruthlessly, the Jurchens bottomed out and rebounded under the bullying of the Liao State.
After Yan A Bone led the Jurchen tribes, he destroyed the Liao State in one fell swoop, making the Jurchens the masters of the Northern Kingdom, and making the Khitans, who were once aristocrats of the Liao State, become slaves of the Jurchens…
