Chapter 89: Yan Han formed the Chelian Chief, and Zhao Jin built a hot spring city

After repelling the Georgian army, Zhao Jin was thinking about the situation of the eastern line against the enemy's sea capital and wanted a division. On second thought, "One thing should be completed beautifully, so as not to leave future troubles and keep running around in the future." Therefore, Li Qingxi and Li Baozhao were ordered to guard several mountain roads connected to Georgia, attracting 2,000 tigers and Tiemamgo's troops, plus Chechen chief Nahcekin's troops, to sweep Karachay, Cherkes, Kabalda, Balkar and other emirates.

Those chiefdoms were previously plundered by the Golden Horde to the south and have been harassed by the poor Chechen former chief Sami, with a sharp decline in population and livestock, making it difficult to survive. Zhao Jin not only threatened them by force, but also declared to them: "Samili is dead. If you submit to our country, I can take care of the new chief Nahchekin and not to invade you again. If you refuse to submit, our country will send troops with Chechnya to flatten you!"

The emirates were originally afraid of Chechen, but after losing the battle, they had no fighting spirit. Under the attack of the Han army and the Chechen army, they bowed their heads and surrendered one after another.

Zhao Jin merged these large and small emirates, which were originally between Rostov and Georgia, and the Chechen-Ingushetia emirate, into a country about the same size as Georgia, called the "Chechen and North Caucasus United Arab Emirates", referred to as "Chechua United Emirates". The first king was Nahcekin, the chief of the Chechen people. In the future, each king and the chief of each ethnic group will be determined by Yanhan, according to the merits of each candidate as the appointment standard.

Zhao Jin asked Nakhe Chejin to rule all ethnic groups in China, assist the Han army in the war, and rest when he has nothing to do. Nakhekin didn't expect that he was born as a mountain thief and became the king of such a big country. He was happy and happily took orders.

Zhao Jin understands that the Caucasian ethnic groups have been fighting against each other in the past, which is due to two root causes: one is that the population has multiplied and the land is not enough to feed, so they naturally have to fight with each other; the other is that the ethnic groups are in a state of division, and it is inevitable that there will inevitably cause various bumps and bumps, resulting in endless wars. Now it is combined into one country, and the spearhead is consistent with the outside world, which can stabilize the interior. Zhao Jin estimated that this land can feed at least one million people, and it is not a problem to reach 1.5 million; today, the chiefs of the Automobile Federation have a population of less than 400,000, and there is much room to feed. As for their population to exceed the ability to support the land in the future, it will be at least decades later. Let's talk about it then. If the chieftain of the Automobile Federation can maintain internal stability for at least decades, is it not meaningful enough to follow Yanhan's southern expedition to the north as a vassal state?

So, what should be used to motivate them to follow Yan Han's expedition? It is to adopt the system that kings and chiefs are canonized by the Yanhan court. Each ethnic group has a big chief. Below the big chief are the small chiefs of various tribes. The king is elected from among the great chiefs, and the great chief is elected by the small chiefs. For example, more than a dozen small chiefs in the Balkar clan can become the great chief of the whole Balkar clan; if this great chief leads the whole family of soldiers to fight with Yanhan and establishes greater merit than other peoples, he can become the king of the Chelian Chiefs.

Of course, among the Chechen chiefs, the Chechens and their close relatives, the Ingush have a large population and plagiarism, occupying an obvious dominant position. It is foreseeable that in the future, the Chelian chiefs will usually be the great chiefs of the Chechens as king. However, the heroes of other nations are still motivated to make progress, because they at least have to compete for the position of the great chief of their own nation; in case they surpass the great chief of the Chechen nation, it is not impossible to become king!

In this way, the heroes are enterprising, civilians are free from the civil war, and the Chelian chiefs have entered a new era. Chiefs of all sizes led their own people to rest in the territory designated for them by Yanhan, so as not to continue to fight for the territory as before. Yan Han guided their instinct to fight to the outside world. The Chelian chief blocked Georgia's march to the north, which was a barrier for the defense of Yan and Han. If this barrier can be maintained for a long time, it will not only not be afraid of Georgia, but also reduce the threat of Illi.

At this time, the old king of Azerbaijan, Agam, had died of illness, and the new king Erqin succeeded to the throne. Erchin and Nakhekin have been friends for a long time, and now they are both kings, which is conducive to the harmonious coexistence between Azerbaijan and the two countries. In this way, Yanhan's southern border defense is more consolidated.

The matter of the Chelian chieftain was roughly settled, and Zhao Jin led the Han army to continue to march west and join the main force of the Han army led by the generals. At this time, the main force of the Han army had been rested for a period of time, and the Rostov region was more stable. Zhao Jin led a large army to cross the Kuban River, the largest river in the northern foothills of the Caucasus, and south along the coast of the Black Sea.

From the Kuban River to Suhumi, Georgia's harbor town, is a very narrow coastal corridor between the sea and the mountains, eight or nine hundred miles long and only a few miles to dozens of miles wide. It is longer and more narrow than China's famous Hexi Corridor.

The Han army has marched along this corridor for the second time. Last time, the Georgians were unprepared and advanced quickly; this time, unlike, the Han army was blocked while advancing, with many difficulties.

Zhao Jin did not worry, making the troops move forward slowly, and the striker only used one or two thousand crossbowmen to open the way, which was useless. After about 300 miles and crossing a rapid river, there was a hot spring mountain. Zhao made the Han army take turns to soak in hot springs to relieve fatigue and recuperate diseases.

It turned out that three or four hundred miles from here, with a huge elevation difference, rich geothermal heat and many hot springs, which is the famous Sochi hot spring area in later generations. Zhao Jin had already planned to take the main force of the Han army to soak in hot springs in Sochi after capturing Rostov, which is also the welfare of the soldiers.

Sochi hot springs have been famous since ancient times, but the city of Sochi was established at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. Why did Zhao Jin know about Sochi? Because Zhao Jin's world has passed the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, followed by the 2012 London Summer Olympics and the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. Before coming to this world, I only knew a name for Sochi and learned that it was a world-famous hot spring city and ski city. Now that you come to this area in person, you can't but enjoy it.

Looking at the blue sea in the west and the towering snowy mountains in the east, Zhao Jin couldn't help thinking, "This area should be Sochi in later generations. Why don't I start and build a city here? Then, as the pioneer of the hot spring city, I will go down in history! ...Of course, in this world, I can already be called a popular figure. In fact, I don't have to be famous by building a hot spring city. Why don't I leave a good story about thousands of troops in hot springs and romantic things on the journey!"

So Zhao Jin really did this. As the Han army pushed forward, he soaked in the hot spring and was happy. The Georgian army was constantly pushed by the Han army and getting closer and closer to Suhumi. The main general Erni was uneasy and rushed to the rear and asked the king for more reinforcements to resist the Han army's attack.

The Han army pushed forward for a while and found that there were more and more enemy troops in front of them, which was difficult to push. At this time, the long-range weapons of the Han army were consumed too much to launch another attack. When the sergeant reported, Zhao Jin was indifferent and asked everyone not to push it. Instead of retreating, he changed to a defensive position and arranged some people to guard the position. Let's continue to find hot springs!

Zhao Jin also soaked himself and wanted to have sex: "Oh, it's a pity that if you are on the east line, you can't accompany me to soak in the hot spring here. Otherwise, it is a good opportunity to improve the relationship!"

Thinking of improving the relationship with Xiao Ruoyi, it is still half serious, because it is also related to the consolidation of the country. But if you think about it any more, it's completely unscrupulous: "Uh-huh, it's so comfortable... I really want a woman to accompany me... Who will accompany me? The beautiful women here are Xu Yu and the peacock... Oh, it's a sin! These two sisters can't think about it.

Does it really matter to be so free? There is not much food and fodder for the army. The Georgian army has hoarded 6,000 to 7,000 people in front of them, firmly controlling the narrow corridor leading to Suhumi, and staring at them, ready to fight back when the Han army retreats when they run out of food. Many Han soldiers began to feel anxious and told Zhao Jin, but Zhao Jin told them not to be busy. They just seized the rare opportunity to soak in the hot spring at ease and said, "Relax is to walk a longer way."

Note:

Sochi: an important port and tourist city on the Black Sea coast, located in the southern part of Krasnodar Krai, Russia. The city of Sochi is very narrow and is the narrowest city in Russia, with many hot springs and a large number of nursing homes. It is also a resort for mountaineering and skiing. The city has a population of more than 300,000 and receives up to 3 million tourists every year. The 2014 World Winter Olympics will be held. In addition, according to archaeology, the ancestors of European Caucasians may have originated in Sochi, and the hot springs in this area helped primitive people survive the cold winter safely.
