The Separation of the Hun's and the Heroism of Chi-Chi      

 

          The Hun's were not the same as before. The incursions had stopped, the states income decreased by the invasion of enemies to the wealthy groups of the emperorship and the financial support in form of taxes and donations from China stopped. The inner uneasiness had become more effective due to the propaganda by the enemies in order to scatter the relations between the commanders and administrators. Finally China was successful in taking some of the dynasty members to their own lines, and this forced the disagreements between the princes. Ho-han-ye, who became Tan-hu with the support and help of China, was rejected by his brother Chi-Chi (58 B.C.).

          The demand of Ho-han-ye to join China was rejected by the Hun consultation committee (state council) after heavy argumentations. But as Tan-hu insisted on the - for himself - reasonable ideas to overcome the financial scarcity, it separated the Hun's in two. While Ho-han-ye accepted the Chinese protection and sent one part of his population to Ordos, Chi-Chi who counted the nationality as dishonouring left the country together with his people and turned towards west (54 B.C.). On one hand he was struggling with China, on the other hand with defending the Tarbagtay, the Ogur (O-k'ut)'s from the Yedi-su surroundings, the Tin-ling's from the fountains of the Irtish and the Vu-sun's by lake Isik he came down to the plains or Chu-talas river where he founded his independent state. But this Middle Asian Hun Emperorship did not last for long. Besides the Chinese army that followed the Hun moves to the west, the named Turkish tribes were also against this new state.
 
       They united and supported China against the Hun's who still were not settled and for any kind of war low powered. The capital of the Hun State, that was newly established by Chi-Chi and surrounded by walls, has been encircled and destroyed by a 70 thousand men army of the enemies. A defence took place that the world never had seen before, bloody street fights took place, in every room in the house of Tan-hu they battled and including Chi-Chi, each one of the 1518 women-men in the palast, fought on every corner of their capital for the sake of being Turk and have sacrificed their lives for the sake of their state.
