Chapter 348: The Witch Doctor Incident

The news of finding Bailu and marrying back to Bailu instantly spread throughout the surrounding Murowei tribes. He ceremoniously accepted the election of the tribe and became the new chief of the Murowe tribe. He gave birth to many children for Chief Polti China, and the loving couple often visited Mahal Arael for leisure and recreation in addition to hunting.

One day, Polti China led his tribe to the foot of Mount Mongol and hunted in the Engeren River, a tributary of the Qiyan River. The mouth of the Engren River is the camp of the Ongira tribe, they are kind and peaceful by nature, they never quarrel and fight with the surrounding tribes, they are good neighbors of the surrounding tribes.

Hunting and repelling animals is traditional, and at night the tribe's hunters camp around a campfire in the woods by the Engren River. In the middle of the night, I only heard a wolf howl in the back mountain, which later became the howl of a group of wolves, one after another, which made people tremble.

After listening for a while, and knowing that the place where the wolf howled was from the valley of Lia, he suddenly ran desperately towards the valley like a wild horse, learning to howl as he ran. The tribal hunters also ran after him towards the valley, and Polti Chi ran to the end of the valley.

The frightened wolves fled in all directions, and on the hill in the distance stood a wolf, which looked at the wolf and howled, and the voice was so low that the wolf mother was recognized by the wolf at a glance. It turned out that the wolf mother smelled the smell of Childty China, and she missed her child, and she couldn't suppress it anymore. The arrows of Polti Chi rushed to the side of the wolf mother, and there were only Polti China and his wolf mother on the hill.

Poltier China hugged the wolf mother tightly and wept bitterly, tears welling up. I haven't seen him for a long time, and the vicissitudes of the wolf's mother's face, the old Longzhong, when she saw the Son Ti China, sniffed him vigorously from top to bottom, kissed her son's cheek from time to time, and two lines of tears flowed down involuntarily. Holding the wolf mother, she stroked the wolf mother's shriveled and skinny body over and over again, and her mood could not be calm for a long time.

The hunters all gathered around, and they all burst into tears as they watched the meeting between Polti and his wolf mother. After a long time, Lotte China suddenly felt that the wolf mother did not move, and when she looked closely, the wolf mother had died in her arms, and her expression was so peaceful, as if it had been a major event in her life.

Sona Chi knelt on her knees, hugged her mother wolf and cried loudly, and all the clansmen knelt down together, and the valley was filled with a mournful cry. Polti China took a piece of fat and put it in the mouth of the wolf mother, cut off the tip of the wolf's tail and put it on the head of the wolf mother, hoping that in the next life he could be born as a human being and become his mother again.

In the morning, Polti China and several leaders sat on the rocks at the bottom of the hillside, not in the mood to drink tea or eat meat, and the past was like a dream. The attendants found a strange stone, and one of the elders said that it was an iron stone, and turned it into an arrow and a sword. Immediately they piled up firewood and blew the fire vigorously, and the stones were burned red, melted, and turned into molten iron. Once again, she knelt down at the grave of the wolf mother and thanked the wolf mother for giving him such a generous gift before she died.

Since then, the wolf has become the totem of the Porti Chinaqiyan tribe. Later, the descendants of the Mongolian tribe conquered the heroes, pacified the grasslands and villages, and trampled other countries with horses' hooves.

The blue wolf and the white deer gave birth to the Mongol ancestor Bata Chihan, which was passed on to the eleventh generation, and there were two sons to the eleventh generation, and there were two brothers, the elder brother had four sons, and migrated out to become the Duoerbian tribe;

After the death of Duoben, Ah Yan became pregnant and gave birth to three sons, the eldest son did not ignore Taji, and his descendants were the tribe of Hedajin, the second son was not in the tribe of Bald Saleth, and the descendants were the tribe of Sale and Wuti, and the youngest son was the tribe of Baduanchaer, whose descendants were the tribe of Er, and from this branch there were about 20 tribes, and the descendants of the tribe were Genghis Khan's tenth ancestor.

The descendants of the three sons born to Alan Huoa Gan Tianguang are called Nilun Mongol, that is, the Nilun tribe of Mongolia, and the others are called Dieliejin Mongol. The former are the nobles among the Mongols, among which the Golden Family is the most noble, and the latter are the ordinary Mongols, and these two parts of the people are the source of Mongolia.

Several other tribes living in the steppes before the Mongol Empire were the Kereh, Wangu, Naiman, Tatar, and Mierbeggar.

The Kerebu is a Turkic tribe living on the Mongolian plateau in Liao and Jin, a tribe in the Qianhe region that went south with the Huangjia in the middle of the ninth century, and is a remnant of the Uighur Khanate who stayed in the territory after the fall of the Uighur Khanate, and a Turkic tribe in the Liaojin period, living between the Black Forest of the Tula River, the Orkhon River and the Krulun River.

During the Liao Dynasty, the Mongol tribes were subjects of the Liao and were under the direct rule of the Liao Dynasty. The Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao and marched southward, conquering the Song capital of Bianjing, capturing the Hui and Qin Emperors, and then continued to wave their troops south, going straight to Lin'an. The war in the south is urgent, and although the Jin army has frequent successes, it has no time to look north. So the Mongolian steppe of the Erjin tribe chieftain Hebule took the opportunity to break away from the Liao Dynasty and stand on his own, expand the territory and open up the territory, and the power was growing day by day, and the nearby ethnic groups elected him as the Mongolian minister, called Hebul Khan.

Soon after, Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng summoned him to the court, and during the banquet, Hebule Khan was drunk and offended Long Yan, and since then he has been at odds with the Jin State, in fact, the Jin State has always been disturbed by the rise of Mongol power. After Hebul Khan returned to China, the Jin envoy came to induce him to surrender, and he killed the envoy in a fit of rage and fought against the Jin state.

Jin first sent Hu Shahu to crusade and returned defeated. On the occasion of the death of Jin Taizong, Jin Xizong ascended the throne, and Hebul Khan raised troops to continuously invade the borders of the Jin State, and successively captured the 27 regimental villages of the Jin State, such as Xiping and Hebei. The Jin State also sent the famous general Jin Wushu to Mongolia to conquer Mongolia, and there was no victory or defeat for two years, so he negotiated peace with Hebul Khan, cut 27 regiments, gave food and clothing every year, and canonized Hebul as the king of Mengwu.

After the death of Hebula, the throne passed to his cousin Baba Child. Desperate to weaken the Mongols, the Jin were internally weak and decided to exploit the rift between the Mongols and the Tatars. At that time, a witch doctor of the Tatar tribe killed a relative of the Mughal tribe and was beheaded by the Baba tribe. The Tatars took revenge and were defeated, so they pretended to beg for peace and took the opportunity to kidnap several of my father and son.

In order to vent their grievances, the Tatars nailed the child to the streets on a wooden donkey, and finally the child died tragically. The witch doctor incident occurred during the period of Hebul Khan, and later I Ba Boy ascended the throne and took his daughter to the Tatar tribe to marry with one of Hebul's sons, but was arrested on the way, sent to the Jin State, and crucified to death by the Jin State on a wooden donkey.

In addition to regular massacres and plunder, the Jurchen army of the Jin State would also adopt the method of artemisia fingers to curb the production capacity of the Mongolian tribes, the so-called artemisia fingers were chopped off like weeds. In addition to the bloody massacres, the Jin State also plundered a large number of people from the Mongolian steppes as slaves.

Although the Tatar tribes inflicted heavy losses on the Jin army at Hailing, they did not further besiege Shangjing. In addition to the lack of strength, another reason is because of a witch doctor incident and a vicious fight with various Mongolian tribes. Hebule's brother-in-law, the nobleman of the Hongjira tribe, Saiin Tejin, fell ill, so he invited a witch doctor from the Tatar tribe, who knew that it would not work, and died, and the patient's family killed the witch doctor in a fit of rage.

The Hongjira tribe was somewhat at a loss, and the status of witch doctors in the tribe was often second only to the chieftain among the social classes of the Mongolian steppe at that time, so the anger of the Tatar tribe can be imagined, and they immediately sent troops to attack the Hongjira tribe.

Hongjira means brown horse in Turkic, and in Mongolian it is extended to mean beautiful people, known for their abundance of beautiful women. The ranch of Hongjira is located in the area from the lower reaches of the Krulun River to Hulun Lake, at the junction of the Mongol Qiyan and Tatar tribes.

As the in-laws of the Hongjira tribe, the Qiyan tribe sent troops to help, but while participating in the war in a big way, there were different opinions within the Qiyan tribe. However, as the chieftain, Baba Child, did not see the need for such hostility to continue, and he made a friendly proposal to the Tatar tribe to end the war by marrying his girlfriend by a nobleman of the Tatar tribe. In order to show his sincerity, the child went to see off his relatives in person, but he was captured by the Tatar tribe and given to the Jin country.

After agreeing to make peace, the Tatar tribe also ensnared the chieftain of the Qiyan tribe, which somewhat violated the character of the steppe people. It was not the Tatars who arrested him, but a group of nomadic mercenaries loyal to the Kingdom of Jin. The army has a long history, which has existed since the Liao Dynasty, and is mainly composed of nomads loyal to the Liao and Jin countries in the border areas, so the composition is relatively complex. This surprise attack was not only a decapitation operation, but also provoked two rival nomadic tribes to fight each other, killing two birds with one stone.

Unwilling to let his death be used by the enemy, he was escorted to Shangjing and was tortured by a wooden donkey, so he asked his retinue to return to the Qiyan tribe to convey his death and his determination to take revenge on the Jin Kingdom. I Ba should use the method of agitation to say to Jin Xizong: "You pretended to be someone else's hand to capture me, and put me in the punishment of a wooden donkey. When I die, my uncle and brother will surely take revenge. ”

The young and vigorous Jin Xizong really hit the plan, waved his big hand and let go of my retinue, and said: "You can tell your subordinates that I am not afraid of you. ”

The reason why Jin Xizong was not afraid of the revenge of the Mongol beggar tribe was because he had already prepared for the military to wipe out his opponent in one fell swoop. In addition to trying to seize the new death of the chief of the Qiyan tribe, at this time, the Jin State had established a small stronghold of Tuanzhai on the vast Mongolian Plateau, and the farthest tentacles had extended to the west of the Kullun River, forming a strategic salient separating the Tatars and the Mongol tribes in Linhuang Province, the land of Longxing of the Liao State. Jin Xizong seems to have a plan to exterminate the relatively weak Mongol beggars first, and then turn back to clean up the Tatars.

Unfortunately, as the news of the death of the child reached the Qiyan tribe, not only did the whole clan share the same hatred, but also quickly formed a new generation of leadership led by Khutula, the fifth son of Hebul Khan. However, there was an abnormality within the Jin Expeditionary Force, and Wanyan Tart had a son named Shenghuadu who launched a rebellion.

Wanyan tart is lazy and ranks as the left deputy marshal of the Jin Kingdom, and there are not a few protégés under his command. These people were repeatedly suppressed and excluded after the death of Yan Tart, and this time the Mongols were in the vanguard position of the crossbow vanguard, and Shenghua, the son of the tartland was established, rebelled.

In addition to Shenghuadu's defection, the internal military system of the Jin State was also the reason for the failure of the expedition to Mongolia. Since Jin Xizong's accession to the throne, the Jurchen slave system was changed to a multi-ethnic feudal imperial system, and the Meng'an Mok system, which was originally distributed in the Jurchen and Khitan settlements, gradually moved south. After the Meng'an Mouke organization was moved into the Central Plains, it was able to effectively control the Han people who were hostile to the Jurchens, and Meng'an Mouke was also surrounded and influenced by the feudal system of the Central Plains, and gradually lost its original internal independence, and no longer became an independent kingdom that the central government could not influence.

This internal relocation was a disaster for the strength of the Mengjin border area, and the border gap left by the southward movement of a large number of Meng'an Mook organizations was handed over to the town defense army to fill. Although the name of the town defense army is loud, the main force is composed of slaves and maids of the Liao people, and it is reasonable that the Jin expeditionary force was defeated in the desert.
