Chapter 1: The Roar of the Beast in the Palace

The next morning, Zhao Bing got up and left the Danbo Pavilion. He originally thought that he could have a good sleep when he returned home, but he was not sleeping soundly. Thinking that he had been living on the boat these days, it seemed that he was "distilled".

"Your official family, how are you sleeping well?" Seeing the emperor get up and leave, he immediately greeted him and greeted him.

"Fortunately, let everyone be gentler and don't bother the queen!" Zhao Bing nodded and said.

"Yes, I understand!" Liu Ling said with the expression of understanding that I knew.

"What do you understand? I think you still don't understand!" Zhao Bing glanced at him and chuckled.

"Oh...yes, yes, little confused!" Liu Ling was stunned for a moment and quickly responded repeatedly.

"Oh, I have been confused people in this palace for a long time, but smart people always make a desperate attempt!" Zhao Bing looked at him again, turned around and sighed.

"Yes, the official lesson is that!" After being scolded by His Majesty early in the morning, Liu Ling was puzzled for no reason, thinking that he had done nothing wrong!

"Last night, why did I seem to hear the roar of wild beasts? Did there be a beast in the city?" Zhao Bing asked while walking out.

"Didn't you hear the news of wild beasts appearing in the city?" Liu Ling quickly followed, thought for a while, "Oh, maybe the leopards in the palace were shouting!"

"How come there are leopards in the palace?" Zhao Bing stopped after hearing this, turned his head and frowned.

"The official family, the Mongolian Yuan delegation paid tribute to some gifts, including two pairs of leopards, and they had nowhere to be placed, so they could only be temporarily placed in the back garden. Unexpectedly, the official family was shocked!" Liu Ling replied.

"leopard?!"

"Yes, there are also hunting dogs and falcons!" Liu Ling said as if offering treasure.

"How can you put these things in the palace and what if you hurt someone!" Zhao Bing glared at him.

"I thought the official family would like it, so I stayed in the palace for the time being. Moreover, the leopard, hunting dog, and falcon are all very human and well-behaved. There are also leopard slaves who pay tribute together and are tamed by the eagle slaves, so there will be no accidents." Liu Ling secretly asked why he had a conflict with the official family. He tried his best to please him, but his Majesty was displeased, and explained in grievance and fear.

"Take me to see!" Zhao Bing pondered for a moment.

"Yes!" Liu Ling said in surprise after hearing this, and ordered the little yellow sects to prepare chariots to guide the way. But he sneered in his heart. The emperor was young and energetic and had a strong sense of play. How could he not be curious about these rare birds and beasts in the foreign land?

"No need, just walk!" Zhao Bing waved his hand, and Liu Ling shook his eyes, causing the little yellow sects to carry the chariot to follow.

The current imperial city was transformed from Deshou Palace. Compared with the old imperial city, the inner palace actually uses the old palace. The so-called rear courtyard is actually in Furonggang east of Tanbo Pavilion. It is closed at night and is on duty by the guard camp to prevent anyone from sneaking over the palace walls into the interior. When he saw His Majesty going to see the leopard, the guards immediately followed him.

After a quarter of an hour, Zhao Bing and his group arrived in front of a row of rooms where they temporarily tamed tribute birds and beasts. He walked up and saw that the falcon was a Central Asian falcon. This thing was known in the past life that the country protected animals and was also the favorite of the Arab royal family. It was worth millions. He only watched it in "Animal World" in his previous life; and he knew the hunting dog, and it was called the Chinese "slim dog".

In his previous life, the Chinese people also had their own domestication and liked to use it to catch hares and gambling dogs, but now they are called "Kitans". They originated from hunting dogs domesticated by the Khitans and brought them into the Central Plains. Of course, the Mongols also liked things nowadays, used to help hunt, and were seized from the homes of Mongolian officials and nobles during the Northern Expedition.

What disappointed Zhao Bing was not the Tibetan mastiff he wanted to see. It was circulated on the Internet in his previous life that Genghis Khan's Mongolian army launched several large-scale western expeditions. They rode short and concise Mongolian horses and took 30,000 Tibetan mastiff troops through the vast and endless desert of West Asia. Under the waving of the horse whip, they rushed into the vast European continent. They hired them on the European continent, burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil.

This statement is also rumored in the public. The Tibetan Mastiff Army when Genghis Khan attacked Europe also began to spread in these battles. The Dog Legion has more than 50,000 soldiers, all of which are all green Tibetan Mastiffs. They use the enemy's corpses as food and drink, covering the sky and sweeping all the way, establishing the "martial master" that made Genghis Khan amazed and envied.

The Khan once lamented: After hundreds of battles, the heroes are thousands of men. The giant mastiff helps me, and the god of war helps me. After the fierce dog army fought to Europe, some of them returned to the Dangxiang Daxue Mountains with Dangxiang, and some were taken over by the Mongols and stayed in Europe and never returned to their hometowns. However, some people refuted that these are just dog dealers telling stories, and using Tibetan mastiffs as the army is completely fantasy, and they do not exist in historical facts.

First, Mongolian cavalry is good at raiding for long distances, and Tibetan mastiffs do not have the ability to run long distances and cannot keep up with the speed of light cavalry; second, people who have raised dogs know that a dog and a group of dogs are two different concepts, and it is simply a fantasy to command tens of thousands of dogs to attack; third, feeding these Tibetan mastiffs is a big problem, and the Mongolian cavalry relies on their own to grab supplies to support themselves. They have no spare energy to feed these big eaters in battle.

After Zhao Bing came to this world, he was worried about encountering the "Big Dog Legion" in his battle with the Mongols, but after many battles, he never encountered it once, so he felt that the so-called "Big Dog Legion" did not exist. Of course, if the Mongols brought Tibetan mastiffs to Europe, he did not deny that it was because of the logistics of the Mongols' war was not entirely robbed, and there was also the "Auru Camp" that drove cattle and sheep and made weapons. They also needed dogs to help grazing and alert.

As for leopards, the Central Plains and Jiangnan were not rare things like modern times. At this time, some tigers and leopards were all detrimental beasts. Zhao Bing walked over and took a look. The leopards that paid tribute were not the most common local leopards. Based on the knowledge he gained from "Animal World" in his previous life, his small head should be a cheetah living on the grassland.

As Zhao Bing knew, cheetah was a pet in the palace in the Tang Dynasty, and the powerful and powerful in the Liao Dynasty also liked it very much, and the powerful and powerful on the grassland also liked it very much. In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", there was also a scene where there was a cheetah around Dushi, so Han Xiaoying saw the identity. Seeing that His Majesty looked at the leopard a few more times, Liu Ling thought that the emperor was interested in the leopard, so he quickly called a few leopard slaves over.

After looking at the four leopard slaves, they were all white-skinned, tall, and wearing headscarves. Zhao Bing knew that they were all foreigners from the Chinese and Western regions, and of course they were all eunuchs like Liu Ling. These people practiced Central Plains etiquette and spoke Chinese. They were obviously sent to the palace after special training.

Zhao Bing asked about his doubts one by one, and then he realized that he had been deceived by Mr. Jin again. Genghis Khan's family feeds cheetahs, but it is not as early as in the novel. Wang Han and his family cannot catch cheetahs on the grassland since they were raised, because their hometowns are West Asia and Africa. At that time, the Mongolians were still wandering around the northern desert area and had never seen cheetahs at all!

However, from their answers, it can be seen that the Mongolian powerful people like to use cheetahs as pets, which is in line with historical authenticity. The Genghis Khan family first owned cheetahs and went to Khwarezm to expedition to the west, and the tribute was Saidian Chissiding, who "thousands of horses were used to welcome the surrender of the white falcons". In the Ogedei era, cheetahs had a special status among the Mongolians. There were special leopard trainers in the big tent. He also specially made thirty felt cars for the cheetahs, giving these vehicles the status of "Qi Liesi" (the Mongolian powerful people themselves cannot approach or pass through).

In addition, cheetahs also symbolize the military power of the Mongols, and the envoy of the Indian king. The one he paid tribute was the cheetah, which was used as a protection fee to beg the Mongolian army not to invade. After Mongge Khan sent his younger brother Hulagu to sweep the Middle East, because cheetahs were a specialty of the Ily Khanate, the Khan of the Ily Khan would collect a large number of falcons and cheetahs from the people every year and pay tribute to the Mongolian Khan.

The Ili Khanate was the main provider of cheetahs in the Yuan Dynasty. The Chagatai Khanate and the Golden Horde would only use the method of sending cheetahs to express their submission when they were subdued by the Yuan Dynasty. Although Jawa and Zhenla guaranteed their independence, they had to pay tribute to cheetahs in order to please the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Kublai Khan also liked cheetahs and specially took cheetahs to hunt before breaking up with his younger brother Alibuge.

Now cheetahs are almost exclusive products for the royal family in the Mongol Yuan. Only the top powerful people can get cheetah rewards from Khan. They all have the power to control the government, and cheetahs are like scepters in their hands. Therefore, Zhao Bing thought that cheetahs were actually Genghis Khan's family showing off countless destruction countries and showing supreme authority in the country. Only cheetahs from foreign countries can show their nobility. Of course, Jubaonu said that cheetahs have a very good temper, and they are actually much safer to use than to tease dogs.

Zhao Bing now understood that Meng Yuan was showing kindness to himself, treating them as the most precious cheetahs to him as gifts, and his purpose was nothing more than to reach a peace agreement as soon as possible. But he did not want to leave them in the palace. After all, wild beasts are fierce, and even after being domesticated, they will be out of control. Such examples are often seen in the news in modern society.

The palace is full of old, weak, women and children. If they run out of control one day, these people can be said to be powerless to resist. And they have already beaten the Mongol Yuan to beg for peace, so there is no need to hold the head and show their courage. They even make it so quarrel that they can't sleep well at night. So I thought about it and still have to transfer these things to the Xiyuan as soon as possible, and strictly manage them and never hurt people.
