Chapter 208 The world is full of wonders
After Chen Lian told Ma Jin what the nobles of the Liao Kingdom did to Ma Jin, Ma Jin couldn't help but remember that when he first came to this world, he had the intention to kill. If these borers of Liao Kingdom stayed, they would not be able to become borers of the Great Zhou that day, so these people must not be kept. Ma Jin had made up his mind, but did not show it on his face, but asked:
"How many soldiers and horses have Yelu Qi gathered in the past few days?"
"I heard from Your Majesty. According to the secret guards of Zhongjing, in addition to the 50,000 tent troops, 30,000 Futu troops and the original 40,000 garrison troops in Zhongjing, Yelu Qi also transferred all the garrison troops of Dake City, Harimu City, Dajuhua City, and Luoli Acropolis. There were about 80,000 troops in this part, and they were all transferred to Zhongjing for defense." Chen Lian did not dare to be negligent and replied hurriedly.
"So that's it - there are no less than 200,000 soldiers in Zhongjing City?" Ma Jin's eyes flashed and he asked slowly.
"The Holy Majesty is not your Majesty!" Chen Lian hurriedly bowed his body and said with a compliment.
"Did Yelu Qi have no other actions except these things?" Ma Jin always felt that Yelu Qi's actions were a bit abnormal, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he couldn't help asking.
Chen Lian concentrated on his mind and thought about it again after hearing this, and after a while he said:
"I'm going to tell Your Majesty that there's nothing big about it. But more than ten days ago, Wu Shuchi once transferred 10,000 garrison troops from Gaojicheng, Luyazicheng and Dakoba City to the ancient glacier city in the name of the King of North Court."
"Oh, the ancient glacier city--" Ma Jin's expression flashed, he muttered again, and looked at Chen Lian and said:
"Where is this ancient glacier city?"
"Your Majesty, the ancient glacier city is located in the extreme north of the Liao Kingdom, bordering the northern region. It snows heavily and is frozen for thousands of miles. Except for icebergs, snow seas, and wild forests, there are almost no barbarian tribes. There are countless barbarian tribes distributed there. These barbarians are bloodthirsty by nature, brave and cruel, and extremely cruel. Although they make a living by fishing and hunting, they will also rob Liao when they are short of food. I heard that the thing they are most proud of is eating human flesh and drinking human blood."
"In such a dangerous place, how could the Liao Kingdom build a city there?" Ma Jin asked with a frown.
"I'll tell you, the ancestor of the Liao Kingdom came out of the deserted forests in the extreme north. It's not an exaggeration to say that it was the origin of the Liao Kingdom."
"This ancient glacier city, my ministers also asked the secret guards to investigate. It was the ninth emperor of the Liao Kingdom, the Liaohuang Emperor, and the tenth emperor, Emperor Min, who spent a lot of manpower and material resources to build it. They also built two acropolis, the Ancient City of Changsheng and the Ancient Shaman City, near the Ancient City of Glacier City. It is said that in order to build these three cities, millions of slaves alone died, which is not considered to be the death of starving to death on the road."
"And this move caused great turmoil in the Liao Kingdom at that time. After all, it took such a huge amount of manpower and material resources to build several cities that seemed to have no effect. Naturally, the people of the Liao Kingdom were talking about it, saying that these two emperors were greedy for lust and enjoyment, were very happy with merits, and used the power of the people. The royal family members were even more excited and wrote letters to advise, but these two emperors still did their own thing and were criticized for eternity."
Ma Jin nodded when he heard this. In fact, it can be seen from the temple name that Huang and Min are a kind of praise. Huang is a bad year without a grain, and he is called Huang. He is called Huang in chaos outside and inside. He is called Huang with a happy and careless government. He is called Huang with a confusion. He is called Huang with a confusion. He is called Huang with a confusion. He is called Huang with a contemptuous rule. He is called Huang with a happy and unrestrained rule. He is called Huang with a fright.
Those who are polite, say sympathy when encountering difficulties in the country, say sympathy when the disaster is caused, say sympathy when the people are sad, say sympathy when the people are broken, say sympathy when the country is caused, say sympathy when the danger is caused, say sympathy when the danger is caused.
From the temple name, we can see how unpopular these two emperors are. As for the intentions of these two emperors...
Ma Jin suddenly realized after thinking about it, and couldn't help but sigh:
"What a great plan. In my opinion, these two emperors are not only not stupid, but also very wise. They plan ahead and dig wells when they are thirsty, which makes me admire their foresight and leave Yelu Qi with such a unique safe haven."
What a smart person Chen Lian was? Ma Jin understood it as soon as he said that Yelu Qi was about to escape. His face changed immediately and he hurriedly bowed:
"Your Majesty, since Yelu Qi is about to escape, will he send an army immediately?"
Who would have thought that Ma Jin still looked calm and did not show any urgency because Yelu Qi was about to run away. Instead, he waved his hand and said:
"No hurry----- Since this ancient glacier city is located in a frozen place, it is extremely dangerous. However, the Liao Kingdom built a city two hundred years ago. I think there are many people garrisoning there. How do they ensure what they need in daily life? Can you find out?"
"When you go back to your Majesty, although the extreme north is frozen by heavy snow and the environment is extremely harsh, there are also many beautiful places. These places are actually no different from the outside world, just like paradises, grasslands, forests, mountains and rivers, and there is no shortage of rivers."
"And this kind of place is called "blessed land" by the locals. As far north as I know, there are 12 such blessed lands. The ancient glacier city, the ancient city of Changsheng and the ancient shaman city I mentioned were built on three connected blessed lands." Chen Lian hurriedly bowed and replied.
"Oh, this Liao Kingdom is really unique. It actually accounts for one-quarter of the blessed land. Those barbarians are willing?" Ma Jin raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.
"When you go back to your Majesty, there are not many places where you can live in the extreme north. The Liao people themselves occupied three places. The barbarians naturally did not want to do so. Therefore, these three ancient cities were often harassed by barbarians. However, the Liao people built the city very tall. Those barbarians were all uncivilized nations, with simple minds and no way to build weapons, so naturally they had no way to deal with the city."
"But these barbarians are not vegetarians, they are born warriors. Those Liao soldiers are no match for barbarians in the field."
"Oh? Are these barbarians so powerful?" Ma Jin asked in surprise.
"Yes, Your Majesty, these barbarians have been hiding in the barren mountains and forests for many years, joining wild animals. They are tall and tall, and they are only a slight stunning person. Although they are simple in mind and only know how to rush around, they are all very powerful. Even the women among barbarians are extraordinary, and their strength is no less than that of men."
"And - because of the ability to give birth to children, women are respected in the barbarian tribes, and the leaders and officials in the tribes are also held by women. I heard that in the world of barbarians, the more children they give birth to, the more respected they are, and the greater the power they have, and the size of the official positions in the tribe is also determined by the number of children they have given birth to."
"As far as I know, Xishi, the leader of the "Zhuwo" tribe, the most powerful tribe among the barbarians, gave birth to 468 children. He was so prestigious among the barbarians that he was highly respected, and was even elected as the spiritual leader of the barbarians, the Barbarian Lord."
Ma Jin was suddenly a little shocked. There are still people who have children these days? Whoever has more children will have greater officials? This world is really full of wonders.
After a while, Ma Jin calmed down a little, and his expression became serious for a moment. He had to think carefully about what to do with Yelu Qi......
