Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 35 Daughter of Khairhan (please recommend reading and investing)
What happened to her father reminded Zhang Yong of a very famous character who was called the cause of everything by later historians, and even the root of Genghis Khan's Western Expeditions, Khair Khan.

It is said that the reason why Genghis Khan launched the Western Expedition was essentially because of this guy. If it weren't for him, Genghis Khan and the entire Mongolia would not even know that he was so capable of fighting.

Genghis Khan's original intention was to establish some diplomatic business relations with Khwarazm and sell some goods on the grassland, such as furs, porcelain and the like, to Khwarazm.

But who knew that this Khairhan actually coveted the property of the Mongolian caravan and killed all the more than 400 people in the entire Mongolian caravan, leaving a camel driver to run back to Mongolia and report the incident to Genghis Khan.

Although Genghis Khan was angry at this time, he did not lose his mind. Instead, he sent an envoy to Khwarazm to question him.

But at that time, Sultan Mokomo did not take Mongolia into his eyes at all. He compared himself to the conqueror of the world and directly slapped Genghis Khan in the face.

Then, the famous Mongolian Western Expedition in history began. In addition to Khwarezm itself, several other small Central Asian countries also suffered disaster, and even the Russian countries in the north also suffered. During the first Western Expedition During this period, Khwarezmo was not the only one that was destroyed in the Western Regions!

Several other small countries around Khwarezm were also wiped out by Genghis Khan.

Jebe and Subotai even led 2 Mongolian troops into the territory of the Rus' countries and even into the Crimea region.

It can be said that there is no death-seeking behavior on the part of this Khair Khan.

There would not have been the second eldest son's Western Expedition, or even the third Hulagu Western Expedition. Genghis Khan should have led the entire Mongolian power to fight against the Jin Kingdom and Xixia.

Then, just like the Jin Kingdom or the Qing Dynasty in later generations, they entered the Central Plains and established a dynasty. In other words, just like other grassland regimes, they passed away with the wind.

"You, your father, are you the guard of the city, Haierhan?" Zhang Yong looked at the Persian girl in front of him and asked.

"Well! My father is the guard of Nandala City, Haierhan. When Genghis Khan besieged Nandala City, my father resisted desperately. After the defeat, he was brutally killed by Genghis Khan's Mongolian army.

We have killed all the residents of the city, except for some female relatives and craftsmen. "Famaina said.

My darling is really the daughter of Khair Khan.

It's a miracle that Genghis Khan didn't kill you, but that doesn't seem to be a problem.

The tradition of the Mongolian army is to only kill men, and young women will be left behind. No matter how much hatred there is, the women will be left behind.

Of course, there are a few exceptions. For example, when Genghis Khan died in Xixia, the Mongols killed all the Xixia party members.

Holy shit, I just found the daughter of a historical celebrity!
This arrogant Haierhan is not just a simple border city lord. According to the Eastern saying, this guy is equivalent to a county king. He still has military strength and a powerful county king with a fiefdom.

And he is likely to be a member of the royal family, or even a cousin of the previous Sultan Mokomo, or someone like that.

According to some historical records, the city controlled by Khairhan was an important town on the ancient Silk Road and an important commercial route connecting the east and west.

Apart from the old capital Yulong Jiechi and the new capital Samarkand, it is one of the largest cities in the world and an important gateway city on the ancient Silk Road.

There are more than 3 defenders here alone, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in the city. You must know that this was a big city with hundreds of thousands of people in the 13th century!
Moreover, this was also the first hard bone for the Mongolian army to gnaw on in its western expedition.

"I heard that it was your father who was greedy for the property of the Mongolian caravan and killed people for goods, which led Genghis Khan to send troops to attack Khwarezm?" Zhang Yong nodded and asked.

"Nonsense! That's not true! Those people are obviously spies. What are the goods they brought? Just some porcelain, leather goods, dried meat, and some silver. And those people in the caravan are sneaking around all day long. He wandered around to explore the city's defenses, not doing business with local merchants or buying anything. He stayed in the city for almost half a month, but not a single business was done.

My father's guards and some residents spotted them on the city wall secretly observing the city defense several times, and then they were determined to be spies.

The Mongols framed my father. How could my father covet the Mongolian property?

My father controls the city of Nandala, an important city on the Silk Road. Do you know how much wealth my father has?

The furniture in our home is all made of gold, and the home is filled with jades and porcelain from the Central Plains of Khitan.

I'm also wearing silk clothes.

Everything I have eaten since childhood has been carefully selected. Freshly picked honey, melons, and grapes are all the freshest and best.

I never eat mutton that is older than one year old. I eat lambs that are less than one year old, and only the most tender and delicious parts.

I could have fresh beef every day if I wanted to.

When we wash our faces, my mother, sisters and I also use fresh milk. The pocket money my father gives me every year is enough to buy ten cows.

The wealth of that group of Mongolian caravans is not even the money my father makes in a year. Will our family covet their Mongolian property?
Do you know how rich the city of Nida was once?How rich is my father?He was a man named Khan by the Sultan. "Famaina looked at Zhang Yong very dissatisfied and said.

Damn, this girl really has an enviable life.

"So, tell me!" Zhang Yong held the little beauty in his arms and asked, lying on his side on the felt bed.

"Hmph! The Mongols have long wanted to attack us in Khwarezm. They had already attacked Xiliao before attacking us, and even sent cavalry to harass the border several times.

How could such a neighbor be a good person and do business sincerely?And my father is also a great hero. Of all the cities in Khwarezm, he resisted the longest.

Other cities fell in a few days or no more than a month at most. Samarkand surrendered in just six days.

The city where my father was stationed held firm for half a year. After the outer city fell, my father, with the remaining 3000 defenders, also held on to the inner city for a month.

At the last moment, with the help of civilians, he attacked the Mongols with stones. He resisted until the last moment. It was all framed by the Mongols. My father would not kill people and steal things!
There were so many caravans on the Silk Road, what was their Mongolian caravan?Christian caravans can number thousands of people at a time. Every year we organize caravans of nearly a thousand people to go to the Central Plains to do business. My brother has also been to the Central Plains several times. "Famaina said.

Her father would never embezzle Mongolian treasure.

　The city of Otala, also known as Otrar, is located at the confluence of the Areth and Syr Darya rivers in Shymkent, Kazakhstan.It is five hundred miles away from Kuqa.An ancient city in Central Asia from the medieval era.

　　This is the only way for Eastern merchants to reach the Volga River and the Eastern Roman Empire.It borders the Kipchak Grassland to the north.This is also the birthplace of Farabi, the famous philosopher of the Karakhanid Dynasty. At that time, it was the territory of the Qaloru Autonomous Territory and one of the important commercial towns of the Karakhanid Dynasty.After that, the place belonged to the Shah Dynasty of Khwarezm and became the important eastern town of Khwarezm.

　　In 1217, the Khwarezm general Yinarshu coveted the Mongolian caravan's property, falsely accused the merchant of being a spy, reported it to the Sultan, and executed the merchant. Only one camel driver was left and fled back to Mongolia. Genghis Khan sent an envoy to recover Hai'er. The failure of the Khan led to the Mongolian Western Expedition, and the city was captured in February 1220.The city lord Yina Leshu was executed by pouring molten silver into his ears and eyes.The city was assigned to the Kipchak Khanate and later captured by the Chagatai Khanate.

　　After the 14th century, the city was revived for a time. Timur also died in the city during his eastern campaign against the Ming Dynasty, and was later plundered by the Junggars.After the new sea route was opened, it was gradually abandoned due to the diversion of trade routes.
