Therefore, every time the ruler of Yan launched a military campaign to "reduce the population," he was able to accurately locate them!
However, of the eight tribes and nearly a million people, not every tribe could settle in the Great Xianbei Mountains.
Tribes like the Tuoba and Changsun tribes, being relatively distant in terms of patriarchal lineage, migrated along the outskirts with the availability of water and pasture...
This also gave them more opportunities to integrate genes and engage in cultural exchanges with other ethnic groups.
Therefore, these two tribes have a particularly large number of intelligent people and beautiful women!
Even Murong Xue's mother, the chief consort of the Xianbei Khan, came from the Changsun tribe, which was known for its beautiful women!
The Xianbei Khan meant that since the Xiongnu Aixin tribe had been destroyed...
The other Xiongnu tribes were also severely weakened and no longer posed a threat!
Then we'll relocate the Changsun and Tuoba tribes here, occupy the grasslands north and west of the Yanshan Mountains as a strategic buffer, and hand them all over to Jiang Ming for management.
This coincided with Jiang Ming's thoughts.
In this way, the Yanshan defense line and the area south of Yanshan had their own county soldiers to guard the area.
North of the Yanshan Mountains, there were two other tribes that grazed their sheep and horses...
Jiang Ming sits facing south, looking down upon the world, truly enjoying the advantages of timing and location!
While it seems like he's made a fortune this time, there's also something that's giving Jiang Ming a 'headache'!
That is to say, being the Khan of the Tuoba and Changsun tribes is not so 'easy'!
Because the Xianbei and Xiongnu shared a common custom, namely "levirate marriage," also known as "steamed marriage."
The story goes that when a father dies, he marries his stepmother; when a brother dies, he marries his brother's wife.
This means that when a leader dies, his successor should marry his wife, regardless of whether she is his aunt or widowed sister-in-law.
The same applies when a meritorious person succeeds as leader; we cannot leave orphans and widows without a place to live...
Jiang Ming had also heard something about this.
After all, he had studied the Records of the Grand Historian and the Zuo Zhuan before he transmigrated, and that's how it was recorded!
The leader of the Tuoba tribe died in the Battle of Lone Wolf Mountain, leaving behind two sons, one seven years old and the other only three years old!
According to the Xianbei's customs, Jiang Ming should marry their mother!
Whether she is still the Grand Queen in terms of title is not important; the key is that the widow of the former leader cannot be ignored.
The situation of the Changsun tribe is even more unique...
The leader of the Changsun tribe died of illness two years ago, which is why there has been no successor.
That's because his principal wife and the principal wife of the Xianbei Khan, namely Murong Xue's mother, were sisters.
The Changsun tribe was always governed by the Xianbei Khan, and there was no nominal Khan!
Now that Jiang Ming has become the Khan of the Changsun tribe, according to Xianbei customs, he should marry Murong Xue's aunt...
