Han Khan

Chapter 130 Chapter : The Master of the Khitans

In the following days, Zhang Sheng began to build temples and camps in the Dubo camp in the river valley between the Tannu Mountains and the Eastern Sayan Mountains in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River. All the tribesmen and Jinhan people participated in it and served as laborers.

They collected stones, cut wood, laid roads, and so on.

At the same time, he also asked the priests accompanying the army, as well as Boniek and others, to be responsible for training the young men selected into the Eagle Guard.

As the project progressed, the temple and stronghold gradually took shape.

This place became more and more lively, and the camp would serve as an administrative center for managing the surrounding tribes, collecting tributes, and supervising the various tribes.

At the same time, in the future the Jinhan people will bring a large amount of supplies to exchange with them, which will attract more tribes to come and trade, increasing the influence and control of the Jinhan tribe over this place.

Therefore, Zhang Sheng planned to appoint a chief officer to supervise and control the surrounding tribes. When encountering foreign enemies, he would report to the chief officer of the camp, and he would lead the various tribes to fight back against the enemy.

"Zhang Langjie day!"

"Chen is here!"

Zhang Sheng looked solemnly at the leader of the Tibetan people, "You are a hereditary leader of Jinhan, always charging in the front and fighting bravely.

Here, to reward you for your meritorious service, I appoint you as the sergeant of Jinhan. From now on, you are a noble of Jinhan, and your subjects will call you "Sir".

Your regiment will be stationed here. Your task is to lead your subordinates to garrison here and manage and supervise the surrounding tribes.

If you encounter a foreign invasion, you must report it in time and lead your troops to resist.

I hope you can fulfill your mission and protect this land for Jinhan!" Zhang Sheng said earnestly.

Zhang Langjie knelt down to express his gratitude, "Thank you for your trust, Your Highness. I will live up to your trust and guard this place for you!"

The truly effective way to control these tribes is to register them as citizens and establish a taxation system and a conscription system.

Zhang Langjieri, a Jin Han noble of Tibetan descent, supervises the tribesmen who are now divided into 13 groups and the surrounding tribes.

His presence allowed Jinhan to strengthen his control over the land, ensuring order and stability.

As time went by, this kind of rule gradually took root in the hearts of the people, and people began to get used to and accept the new way of management, because only with taxation could they recognize themselves as Jinhan people.

This place was completely incorporated into the rule of Jin Han. From then on, the area from the Gobi Jin Mountains to the north to the Yenisei River and Angara River became the territory of Jin Han, and extended northward to the cold Luo wilderness all year round.

This vast territory not only has rich resources, but is also a strategic location, which is of great significance to Jinhan.

In the past few days, Zhang Sheng has been leading his troops in various camps, busy building churches and camps.

And the news that the Tannushandubo tribe was defeated and conquered by the Jinhan tribe led by the nephew of Gutlugyar Khan of the former Kyrgyz Khanate from the Great Lakes Basin continued to spread around as time passed!
The news spread like a gust of wind to the middle reaches of the Yenisei River, the North Sea, the Zhiju River (Selenge River), and even as far east and south as the Yanran Mountains.

The remaining tribes of the Khitans, the Merkits, the Kerets, the Shubugus and other tribes in those places were shocked by the strength of the Jinhan tribe.

The four remaining Kyrgyz tribes, which had already migrated to the Angara River depression near the Yenisei River diversion, were in disbelief when they received the news.

After the leaders of various tribes communicated with each other, they remembered that the Khan had a sister who had married to the Hexi region south of the desert and brought a thousand tents of tribesmen as a dowry. Could it be that the descendants of this princess came to the northern desert to avenge the Khan?
After discussion, the leaders of the four tribes decided to send envoys to the camp of the Jinhan tribe to find out the truth.

The envoys came with captured Saker Falcons, hunted tiger skins, and many horses and furs.

When they finally arrived at the camp of the Jinhan tribe, they were amazed by the scene before them.

The original camp of the Dubo tribe now had a temple built of wood and stone, as well as a camp built of stone and wood. A large number of Guligan and Oirat people gathered in it, and it looked very prosperous. The elite warriors wearing iron armor, with bows and swords on their waists and spears in their hands walking around in the camp made the envoys dazzled.

The envoys met Zhang Sheng and expressed their purpose. Zhang Sheng received them warmly and told them about his life story and how the Jinhan tribe migrated all the way from the distant Dunhuang and defeated the Guchuwuti, Jiluo and Dubo tribes who betrayed the Khan.

These envoys felt the power of the Jinhan tribe and its determination to rule the land between the Jin Mountains, the Tannu Mountains, the Sayan Mountains and the Yenisei River.

They all realized that the only one who could make decisions for all the Khitans and protect them was the Khan's nephew, His Highness Zhang Sheng.

So they hurried back to their respective places and reported to their leaders what they saw and heard in the Jinhan tribe camp.

In the next few days, the leaders of the four tribes came here with their tribesmen, and then knelt in front of Zhang Sheng with ecstasy on their faces and said excitedly:

"Minions Hetu, Amuta, Dalai, and Dorzat pay homage to His Royal Highness the Special Service!
Your Highness, the leader of all the Khitan people, we are willing to recognize you as our master and obey your will and orders. Please accept our submission and protect us, the Khitan people!"

Zhang Sheng gladly accepted their surrender, expressed his great happiness, and promised to give them fair treatment and protection.

"Everyone, please stand up quickly. My uncle, the Khan of all the Khitans, has passed away. The Khitans have lost their master and no one can protect them. It is too dangerous to continue like this.

Now that you are willing to become my subjects, I swear to you in front of the supreme God of Heaven that I will always protect you and treat everyone fairly! "

The leaders of the four tribes kowtowed and said:
"I would like to thank the honorable His Highness, the Special Agent. You have the blood of the Khan and are the true master of all the Khitans. I am willing to serve you like a dog or a horse, follow you in battle, and herd and hunt for you.

The four of us and our clansmen will swear to be loyal to you until death and will never betray you. We will follow your lead and go wherever you whip us!"

With the arrival of the four remnants of the Khitan tribe, they brought with them nearly seven battalions, or about two thousand households of Khitan people.

This news made Zhang Sheng very excited, he knew what it meant.

From now on, he will become the master of all the Khitans.

"Then bring your people and follow me to the Great Lakes Basin. From now on you will also be Jin Han people, my people," Zhang Sheng said enthusiastically.

"There are big mountains there to block the cold in winter. It can protect our people and livestock. You can graze around there then." Zhang Sheng went on to introduce to them.

Finally, Zhang Sheng told them confidently:
"I will definitely lead you to rebuild a new country on the prairie. The Khitans are also Jinhan people, so that is also your country." His words made everyone feel very excited and expectant.

The four of them hurriedly said:

"Thank you, Your Highness! We servants will obey Your Highness's orders and call ourselves Jin Han people in the future. We hope Your Highness can have mercy on people like us who are miserable and lonely."

Hearing this, Zhang Sheng nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction. Then, he asked:
"Oh, by the way, are there other tribes in the lower reaches of the Yenisei River?"

The leader named Hetu quickly replied:
“Your Highness, there are no other tribes in the lower Yenisei River.

The climate there is extremely cold, the land is barren, and there are forests and swamps everywhere. It is difficult to make a living by grazing, and people can only survive by fishing and hunting. In addition, the winter is long and extremely cold.

Zhang Sheng couldn't help but fall into deep thought, secretly calculating the value of this piece of land.

The area near the Yenisei River is all subarctic coniferous forest. Apart from fur and gold mines, that place was not valuable at that time.

Despite the harsh environment, as a time traveler, he knew very well how the Russians of later generations gradually encroached on the entire Luo wilderness and became a large empire rich in resources.

But in this day and age, Luo Huangye really doesn't have much value.

My friends, if you like watching this, don’t be stingy and give us some recommendation votes and monthly tickets.
