Chapter 1126 Bartel

“Brother Ren, when you come with me to the prairie, you’ll lose your involvement in the Dunhuang literature organizing and excavation work! Still have the heart to see the prairie?”

Zhuang Rui on Ren Chunqiang’s performance is somewhat puzzled, to know, now the country’s archaeologists, I’m afraid to squeeze their heads want to enter the Dunhuang relics of the late finishing work, which is a very rare opportunity to enhance personal qualifications.

“Oh, or follow you, this to Dunhuang ran a circle, the whole out of a Dunhuang legacy literature, maybe and you to the prairie, you can find Genghis Khan mausoleum!”

Dr. Ren smiled broadly, the reason why he acted so calmly, because before leaving, Professor Meng also talked to him once, explaining that this researcher evaluation, there will definitely be him.

Working in a university, the highest title was usually a professor, while those who did research work, the highest was called a researcher, the same level as a professor.

People who have worked in the school know that the evaluation of the title is required a lot of conditions, there are many old teachers who are already fifty or sixty years old and almost retired, but only the title of an associate professor, Dr. Ren can be evaluated as a researcher in his early thirties, and he is already satisfied.

“As long as Genghis Khan s tomb is on this prairie, maybe I can find it, Ren brother …… my luck has always been very good.”

Zhuang Rui also smiled, if one can find the Yuan dynasty emperor’s tomb on the prairie, even if it is not Genghis Khan’s, I am afraid that its sensational degree is no less than the discovery of Dunhuang documents.

It is important to know that the Yuan Dynasty’s territory was unprecedentedly vast, not only is the current Chinese territory all part of the Yuan Dynasty territory, but also includes most of Siberia, east to the Bering Sea, Sikkim, Bhutan, the eastern half of Kashmir, northern Burma, northern Thailand, Laos, and northeastern North Korea.

During the reign of Genghis Khan, the Mongol iron horsemen stepped into the Volga River Valley in Eastern Europe, and then the iron horsemen of the Mongol Empire once approached the hinterland of Europe, and those European royals and nobles even had to kowtow to the Mongol generals in the Golden Tent every day before they could go to do their own errands.

Therefore, European countries know more about the history of the Yuan Dynasty in China and pay more attention to it, which is one of the reasons why the Yuan Qinghua was speculated into a sky-high price.

If the Yuan Dynasty Emperor’s Tomb was discovered, I believe that its influence in the world would definitely be no less than the unearthing of the Dunhuang documents.

“Hopefully! Following you kid, there are always miracles.”

Ren Chunqiang thought for a moment, Zhuang Rui’s luck is really not blowing, basically every time he goes out, something can happen, maybe this time the blank of Yuan Dynasty archaeology, can really be filled by Zhuang Rui!

Being in the vast prairie, a few people in the car mood is particularly relaxed, although the students have returned to Beijing, but Zhuang Rui three people of similar age together, the common language is a little more.

Looked at sitting on the horse in the grassland gallop those herdsmen, to be honest, Zhuang Rui heart a little itch, no matter who is in this vast boundless prairie, I’m afraid all want to ride on the horse gallop whip.

The destination of their trip, is Inner Mongolia’s Ordos City, but if you go to Ordos City or the same steel city as the mainland, Zhuang Rui would like to camp on the grasslands, anyway, they are with tents.

If you can not, Zhuang Rui would rather find a Mongolian tent to borrow, that also than live in Ordos hotel more feeling a little.

Mentioned Ordos, many friends are afraid that the first impression is often seen in the advertisement of Ordos cashmere sweater, but for Zhuang Rui and Dr. Ren, here is a different meaning.

The establishment of the Mongolian Khanate, known as “the great leader like the sea” by the Mongols, and “the emperor of all mankind” by many admirers in the West. Genghis Khan, whom the founder of the People’s Republic of China called “the pride of his generation,” is said to have been buried in Ordos.

The famous Genghis Khan Mausoleum is located in the grassland of Gandeli, Yijinholo Banner, Ordos City.

The reason is said to be a legend, that is because the ground mausoleum, just Genghis Khan’s crown mound, and after a number of relocation, until 1954 by Huangzhong County of Tal Temple moved back to the hometown of I Jinhuo Luo Banner.

In a sense, people for this mausoleum, more just a kind of spiritual trust.

Zhuang Rui once studied the Yuan dynasty after the historical data, history for Genghis Khan mausoleum location is a variety of opinions, but mainly focused on four places.

The first place is likely to bury Genghis Khan is located in Mongolia in the territory of the Kent Mountains south, north of the Kluan River place, this is because Genghis Khan in his lifetime once said, after his death to be buried here.

The second place is the Altai Mountains in northern Xinjiang, based on Zhuang Rui’s counterparts, once found in the place of an artificially transformed mountain, speculation is likely to be Genghis Khan’s burial tomb.

This claim is also supported by the fact that Marco Polo, in his book Marco Polo’s Travels, once wrote: “On the way to transport the monarch’s casket to the Altai Mountains, the escorts used all the people they met along the way as martyrs.” The monarch here refers to Genghis Khan.

The third theory is in Liupan Mountain, Ningxia, where it is recorded that Genghis Khan died near Liupan Mountain in the height of summer in 1227, while attacking Western Xia.

Some archaeologists believe that, according to the Mongolian custom in the past, people should be disposed of within 3 days after death, or sky burial, or earth burial, or cremation, for fear that the body will rot, the soul can not go to heaven, therefore, this argument is also in the archaeological community has a certain market.

As for the argument of Ertok Banner of Ordos City, it is more official, because from ancient times to the present, this is the place where Mongolians worship their ancestors, and as the national will and national public mourning of Genghis Khan’s Crown Mound – “Eight White Palaces”, it is in Inner Mongolia. Yijinholo Banner, Ordos City.

More important argument is that here, there is the world to guard the tomb of Genghis Khan for the sole responsibility of the hereditary guardian Dalhut Mongols, has been here to implement the most complete, the most authoritative, the most characteristics of the Mongolian Yuan sacrificial system. Imagine if it is not Genghis Khan buried near here, why their guardians will be generations of according to this place, worship their ancestors!

After analyzing many aspects, Zhuang Rui still thinks that the possibility of Genghis Khan being buried in Ordos prairie is the biggest, so this way traveling, Zhuang Rui has been using his aura to survey the underground situation while chatting.

“Peng Fei, how much longer will it take to get to Ordos? Are there boundless grasslands there just like here?”

To say that this time, the first stop in Inner Mongolia was still arranged by Peng Fei, even though he himself had never been here.

Peng Fei smiled at his words, glanced at Zhuang Rui and said, “Brother Zhuang, you can rest assured! We are not to Ordos, there are still seventy to eighty kilometers away from there, all of it is the same grassland as this, this horse is definitely there, I’m afraid that you will be afraid of seeing the horse when you ride.”

Riding a horse and riding a camel is not the same, the camel’s back is thick with hair, walking slowly and steadily, that is, riding for a day, the feeling of the buttocks will not be too strong.

But horseback riding is different, horseback riding is about fast gallop, and need to use both legs to control the body smooth, not to mention riding on a day, I’m afraid that is in the horse upside down for two hours, down when it will become the legs.

And even if there is a saddle cushion, which in the horse after a few hours of tossing, thigh roots and buttocks will not be worn skin, Peng Fei in the army once trained in horsemanship, that would have eaten a lot of pain, so that will say these words.

“It’s not like I haven’t ridden a horse before.”

Zhuang Rui sniffed, his Beijing suburban manor was originally a horse farm, but after the small gold white lion and King Kong settled in the manor, those horses were scared all day terrified, Zhuang Rui will be sent out.

The car in the prairie traveled a day later, the person who drove the car also became Zhuang Rui, looking along the way some yurts within the smoke rose, Zhuang Rui they also arrived at this trip to a landing point.

“Brother Zhuang, don’t drive over, just stop here! There’s a horse tethered to that lehrer cart, don’t scare it.” Just as Zhuang Rui was about to park the car next to those big yurts, he was stopped by Peng Fei.

“Isn’t this a big wheeled cart?”

Zhuang Rui looked along with Peng Fei’s finger, and sure enough, on a big wheeled car, a stallion was tethered to it, looking uneasily at the car in the distance, and his nose was not sneezing.

“The Mongolian herdsmen use the ‘lele’ sound when they yell their animals, so that car is also called lele car.” Rarely able to give Zhuang Rui back as a teacher, Peng Fei looked very proud.

“Hey, you kid knows quite a lot, let’s go! Lead the way.”

Zhuang Rui parked the car, pushed the door and walked down, just far away to see these yurts, as if they are very small, but now come close, he realized that some big yurts are comparable to some two-story small buildings.

Peng Fei heard Zhuang Rui’s words, his face showed a bitter smile, said: “I also do not know where Batel lives, only know in this neighborhood, come on, you do not stare at me, I’ll go and ask is not it?”

The Bartel that Peng Fei said was his comrade in arms when he was in the special unit, and was also the equestrian instructor of that unit, and then after China’s last cavalry unit was disbanded, Bartel also retired and returned to his hometown.

The place where Bartel lived was not connected to the telephone in the first few years, and Peng Fei was afraid that he would not even be able to find this place if he had not once passed a letter with him.

Peng Fei knew that he was in the wrong, did not wait for Zhuang Rui to speak, walked quickly toward the yurt, just an old man came out, hurriedly went forward and asked, “Old man, do you know where Bartel lives?”

“Bartel? We have a lot of lads here, named Bartel.” The old man’s words made Peng Fei dumbfounded.
