Chapter 55: On Meritorious Deeds and Rewards

It turned out that Dulub left a group of soldiers and horses to be stationed in the mountains and forests where Borhu was killed, and arranged for the soldiers to drink in a carnival to confuse the spies who were slain. He led the main force to secretly make a detour to raid the capital of Tuma. She was caught off guard by the divine soldiers who fell from the sky. The Tuma people were in turmoil all of a sudden, and the Mongolian soldiers were like wolves and tigers, and they pounced on them for a while, and the Tuma soldiers and civilians were killed before they had time to resist. Bao Tuo'er also took advantage of the situation to escape to the Mo shed in the back tent, and was caught by the newly rescued Kuduhe.

After being rescued by the Mongol soldiers, Kuduhe ran to the main hall of the Badher, and happened to meet the drunken Badher hiding in the grass hut, and entered her back tent with a hug by the waist, so he took off her dress and pounced on her. Desperate, she shouted, "You brute, you dare to rape me, I don't want you to die as 'Pick Your Belly'!" ”

The unproductive Kuduhe, as soon as he heard the "picking", he trembled all over, climbed up and couldn't enjoy the beauty as soon as he was soft, so he slid down from the body of the child, and said: "You little girl, Lao Tzu will not let you go!" ”

Knowing that this kid is cowardly, he might as well scare him again, in case he wants to harm himself again. So he said, "Hmph! The old lady is not afraid of you, before the Mongolian army came, Genghis Khan specially explained, do not hurt me, let me enter the account to serve him. If you want to live, send me to Helin to meet Genghis Khan, or you won't have enough to cut off ten heads. ”

Suddenly, he still believed in his heart when he heard what he said, Genghis Khan's favorite is the wife of the chief, and it seems that this Bad'er still can't move, so he said: "Okay, I'll believe you once, send you to Helin, if the Great Khan doesn't rucky you, then Lao Tzu will clean you up!" ”

She put on her clothes, raised her head and glanced at her with disdain: "Okay, take me to Genghis Khan!" ”

The Mongol general Du Luber used his own way to harm his people, and the sneak attack on Tuma was successful. The Tuma tribe was killed cleanly, except for the young woman, and the rest were all killed regardless of age. The rich hemp forest was in ruins, and there was no living thing, not even a bird to be seen. The Eqiqisi (Chang'e) River became a river of blood, and the habitat of the Tuma people was burned. The picturesque Tuma grassland turned into a sea of fire, and the 10,000-year-old hemp forest left by the land god and Chang'e turned to ashes. Since then, the Mongolian steppe no longer has the Tuma Chang'e River with beautiful mountains and rivers, but there are more barren and desolate sand dunes.

Genghis Khan's Fa Xiao Huo'er Chi got thirty beauties among the women who were plundered by Tuma, and the rest of the captured female prisoners were assigned to various barracks to comfort the soldiers, and they were not allowed to be taken as wives and concubines until death.

He was also given to Khudu as a wife.

The death of one of the largest tribal rebellions in Mongolia after the founding of the People's Republic of China was completely quelled and the death of Zamuh marked the basic eradication of dissidents in the Mongolian steppes, and the reactionary forces that opposed them were swept away like the wind. Mongolia's dominance over the desert steppes became more and more secure, and Genghis Khan's long-cherished wish to dominate the Mongolian steppes was realized.

At this time, Genghis Khan's first thought was to follow his own life and death of the generals and officials, in order to reward and encourage them, continue to fight for the Mongol Empire, must be rewarded.

After Genghis Khan held a grand state funeral for Borhu, he immediately convened the Kuritai Conference and began the first great reward after the founding of the country.

The mother of the country, Heerlun, was named the queen mother. After the great powers. Heda An, also Sui, also quick drying, Jill eight speed, Hulan for the queen of the country.

Meng Lik, Kuduan Balahe, Mu Huali, and Huo'er Chi are the left prime ministers. The right phase is higher than the left prime minister (Mongolia is above the right) is temporarily empty, and Genghis Khan is looking for a ruler.

The subjects were divided into 95,000 households, with Monlik as the 1,000th household, Borshu as the 2,000th household, Mu Huali as the 3,000th household, Huo'er Chi as the 4,000th household, Chilaowen as the 5,000th household, Jochitai as the 6,000th household, Kunan as the 7,000th household, Kublai as the 8,000th household, and Jebe as the 9,000th household.

Genghis Khan said to Borshu: "I remember that year I was only sixteen years old, and you were just fourteen years old, and together you helped me to recapture nine silver horses from the Taichiwu. Those nine silver horses are the most precious and only possession that my family depends on! We teenagers made friends and experienced many dangers together. The righteousness of the monarch and the minister is like the love of brotherhood!

"Wang Khan attacked suddenly, and we lost our canes and scattered our men. That night, I slept with my clothes, you and Mu Huali used felt to cover me from the wind and snow, I slept more peacefully and warmly, but you, the snow buried your knees but did not move, did not snort.

"You two have been fighting and fighting since I was with me, and you are like my right-hand man! Feng Borshu is the 2,000th household and 10,000 households on the right hand, and Mu Huali is the 3,000th household and 10,000 households on the left hand, you are above the generals! ”

Mu Huali and Borshu Shane stood up.

Genghis Khan pulled and said: "Kublai comes, Jebe, farewell, Subutai!" You are my four tiger generals, and the four heroes, Jochi belt, and Ulu are my top ten heroes, and all military and horse affairs will be headed by you in the future! Huoli Liemen, you have always been loyal to what you do, honest and undeceived, and you have been named the ten thousand households of the Chinese army! ”

Genghis Khan gave the land of Mi'er begging and Xue Liangge to Suo'erhan and Chilaowen father and son, and in addition, the camp could be passed on to his children.

Jochi Belt is the pride of the Beggars, the founding father of Mongolia, and has made many unrewarded achievements. Especially on the shores of Lake Banjuni, he was the eldest of the nineteen generals. Eat wild horse meat with Genghis Khan and drink the murky waters of the lake. He was appointed as the commander of the four thousand Ulutis. and gave his beloved concubine Wang Han's eldest daughter Jirpa to Jochi as his wife.

Genghis Khan's brothers, sons, and the sons of Hechiwen were nine princes of the clan. The thousands and the ten thousand households were ruled by the kings. The eldest of the sons, Jochi, and the youngest of the younger brothers, Temurge, according to Mongolian customs, were given to a total of 10,000 people to Heelun and Temuge, and 9,000 people to Jochi. ”

The righteous son of Kha Erlun was also crowned king. He was also named the supreme judge, which is equivalent to the position of prime minister in the Central Plains.

Those who are sealed are exempt from death for nine sins. And they all bowed their heads in thanksgiving.

At this time, the leader of the Wangu tribe who came to participate in the state funeral of Borhu, Atora, also attended the Mongolian Kuritai Conference, seeing that the Mongolian power is becoming stronger and stronger, and Genghis Khan is not a thing in the pool, and one day he will unify the Central Plains, so he has a heart of belonging, and came down from the VIP seat and bowed to Genghis Khan, Genghis Khan hurriedly got down from the dragon seat and helped Atoira and said: "You have always killed juniors, get up quickly, and say whatever you have to say." ”

Atara said: "The friendly relationship between our two clans began with your father Khan, it is a relationship between blood thicker than water, this is a family, now I lead the tribe to belong to the Great Mongolia, and please don't dislike the Great Khan." ”

Genghis Khan was shocked and said: "Senior, the Mongolian tribes are all relying on your help today, it's too late for me to thank you, how can you dislike it?" ”

Atara said, "Then please ask the Great Khan to accept our Wangu tribe as your subjects!" ”

Genghis Khan said gratefully: "We are now a family, and we will rely on your old man for a great cause in the future. ”

Everyone knelt down on the mountain and shouted: "Long live the Great Khan, long live!" ”

After the completion of the sealing, the state banquet was held for a month, and the whole country celebrated. The tribes also slaughtered cattle and sheep as if they were celebrating festivals, singing and dancing. The entire Mongolian steppe is immersed in a sea of cheerfulness.

Genghis Khan left the generals and hundreds of officials in the newly completed Helin Palace, drinking and discussing state affairs. Genghis Khan raised his glass and asked, "Tell me, what is the happiest thing in your life?" ”

As the first general and prime minister of Zuo, Mu Huali was the first to speak: "Leveling the world and unifying the world should be the work of a husband, and it is also the happiest thing in life." ”

Genghis Khan glanced at Mu Huali and said, "Yes, but it's a pity that you are only half right." ”

One of the four heroes and Genghis Khan's good companion Borshu said: "If you want to talk about happy life, it is better to ride a beautiful handsome horse, wear gorgeous clothes, carry an eagle on your shoulder, find a good spring flower, go out on a safari, then it is called a happy one." ”

Genghis Khan squinted his eyes with a calm face, and did not speak.

Chi Lao Wen on the side said with a smile: "Riding a horse and looking up at the blue sky, watching the vigorous eagle catch birds and hares, it is beautiful, and it is also a great pleasure in life." ”

The other generals are looking forward to the future, talking about their ideals and interests. Genghis Khan saw that everyone was almost right, so he shook his head and said, "What you said is not as good as what Mu Huali said." But there was still half of it that he didn't finish. ”

The ministers discussed again: "The Great Khan must have a unique opinion, you might as well say it and let us share the happiness!" ”

Seeing that all the generals and officials were looking at themselves, Genghis Khan said with great joy: "The happiest thing in life is to destroy the enemy and level the world with the momentum of destroying the withering and decaying." They took their horses, plundered their goods, and carried their beautiful wives captive to bed. Having their women as their maids is the most meaningful and fastest thing in life. Haha......" Genghis Khan looked up to the sky and laughed, and this laughter passed through the hall, shocked the wilderness, shook the earth, and then radiated to the heart of the earth island.

Genghis Khan's doctrine of the joys of life laid the theoretical and ideological foundation for his great conquest, and also revealed the source of motivation for generations of conquerors. The constant amplification of the power of this primitive impulse also reveals the true meaning of this historical picture of the Great Conquest.

Marx, the great teacher of the proletariat, and the world-famous literary giants Shakespeare and Tolstoy have all rightly commented on this (detailed in the second part of this book).

At this time, Genghis Khan did not forget and did not have the opportunity and ability to solve the deep hatred, now he stood up and became strong, and his eyes inevitably turned from the Mongolian steppe to the neighboring Jin country.

Driven by the drive of revenge and possession, his first consideration is revenge, to the kingdom of Jin. Although the Jin State at this time had a population of tens of millions, it was dozens of times more powerful than him. However, the flames of revenge had ignited his anger, and he had lost the sanity of the generals and officials, and they demanded war against the Jin people to avenge the revenge of the three generations of Great Khans.

In the shouts of everyone, Genghis Khan looked at the silent Mu Huali sensibly, wanting to get his approval. At this time, Mu Huali had to come forward and say a philosophical strategy that was different from everyone else.

Mu Huali had also figured out Genghis Khan's intentions, and revenge was necessary. But in the face of an enemy who is dozens of times stronger than himself, how to take revenge, he still has not made a final decision. So he set his sights on himself. Although he already has a relatively mature strategic plan in his chest, this plan must be approved by Genghis Khan, and he must skillfully graft his plan to Genghis Khan. So he remained silent until Genghis Khan signaled that he could take a stand, and was ready to direct everyone's opinions to a perfect strategy. He also sincerely admired Genghis Khan's composure and resourcefulness, otherwise if he first said a plan that did not agree with everyone's opinions, he would be extremely passive, but would have brought irreversible consequences to the newly established Great Mongolia.

The witty Mu Huali did not ignore the wishes of Genghis Khan and the others, and said straight to the point: "Respected Great Khan, the last general knows that you have made up your mind, and the last general is disrespectful to touch the holy will and say some immature opinions, I don't know if it can be correct, and ask the Great Khan to forgive me." ”

Genghis Khan didn't know how smooth Mu Huali was, and of course he knew that he was the best at saying that his opinion was the holy will of the Great Khan, but this was also what he Genghis Khan needed. Seeing Mu Huali say this, he already understood that he had a different opinion, so Genghis Khan also walked down the slope: "It's okay, you just say it!" ”

Mu Huali got Genghis Khan's approval, knowing that Genghis Khan had seen that he had a different opinion, so he was relieved to say it. So he had the bottom in his heart, and he had no scruples to express the great strategy in his heart, hoping to transform it into Genghis Khan's determination.

Therefore, Mu Huali said: "Our great Mongolia has been decided, the turmoil has been calmed, and the old enemies of Mobei have been basically eliminated. However, the real and greatest enemy of my Mongol tribe is still there. And, even if we don't take revenge, they won't tolerate us sleeping soundly next to his couch, and he'll come to us for trouble. None of you may not know who this powerful enemy is? ”

The crowd shouted, "Golden dog! The golden dog is our enemy! ”

"Not bad! The Jin people have murdered our Great Khan with great cruelty, and they are the enemies of our Mongol tribes! Mu Huali first has to unify his intentions with everyone's will, under the premise of hating the same enemy, how to get revenge has become a branch issue, and it is no longer a fundamental matter of disagreement and principle, so it is much easier to say, and then the topic changed, "Our next target for revenge is naturally his Jin Kingdom." However, what about revenge? It's very learned. ”

Mu Huali stopped when he said this, and the resonance of everyone who was mobilized suddenly exploded, and he shouted: "Kill into the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and arrest the emperor Lao'er and punish him on a wooden donkey!" ”

"Whoever has taken the city of the golden people, and robbed them of their horses and women!"

"I've heard they've got a lot of things we haven't seen before, and they've brought them for him!"

The generals shouted like this, which woke up Genghis Khan, and the generals only knew how to kill, kill, how to kill? But no one can say it, only then did they realize that revenge is not a bloody affair, and a few empty slogans can be solved, and it is necessary to have a winning strategy and tactics to ensure that the revenge plan can be successful. His thinking had to turn to Mu Huali's strategy. So, he leaned forward and said, "Everyone be quiet, let Mu Huali continue to speak!" ”

Mu Huali saw that Genghis Khan's heart was moved, or that Genghis Khan had sensed or acquiesced to his thoughts, and just wanted him to further convince everyone.

Mu Huali picked up the bowl of tea with confidence, gently lifted the tea lid, blew a few wolfberries floating on it, took a sip, tasted it and said: "This wolfberry is big and round, I don't know where it comes from?" ”

Several generals grinned, "Hi! Everyone is waiting for your university to ask, what does it have to do with wolfberries? Is! ”

Sitting on the side, Kuoduan Barat looked at Mu Huali meaningfully and said, "This wolfberry is produced in the Western Xia Kingdom!" ”

Genghis Khan also thought of this layer, took a deep breath and looked at the broad-end barahe, nodded to Mu Huali, and motioned to continue.

Mu Huali used wolfberries to show the hole cards, which is to further prove whether Genghis Khan understands the strategy he is about to say, how sure he is, how much space he has to speak, and he knows the reason why he is cautious.

And Kuduan Barahe just revealed the riddle, indicating that the veteran general not only knew Mu Huali's strategy but also agreed with it very much, and at the same time showed Genghis Khan's attitude.

Genghis Khan nodded at Mu Huali, obviously knowing that his attitude was positive. At this time, Mu Huali judged that at least the Great Khan and a few high-IQ elites understood his strategic plan. With the base, he became stiff when he spoke, put down the tea bowl and came to the center of the hall and said: "Generals, do you know how many people and how many troops there are in Jinguo?" Do you know the national conditions of the Jin Kingdom, the Western Xia, and the Southern Song Dynasty and the relationship between them? Knowing the attitude of the above three countries towards us and the stakes between us and them after the establishment of our Great Mongolia......"

Mu Huali asked a few questions that even Genghis Khan did not expect, and the generals stared wide-eyed, confused, stupid, and did not know what to do, and for a while the hall was silent, only the broad end of the bara smiled silently and quieted the demeanor of the generals.

In the silence, the general Borshu suddenly said, "Hey! No matter what he does so much, are we afraid that he will not succeed, and besides, we are fighting the Jin State about his Western Xia and Southern Song Dynasty birds? ”

Borshu is second only to Mu Huali's general, and he is very inspiring, and the generals also shouted: "I'm afraid of him, who has our Mongolian army been afraid of, haven't so many tribes such as Tatar, Kereh, Naiman, and Miriji been trampled by our iron hooves?" ”

The crowd was in a clamor of one after another. Genghis Khan patted the jade case and said: "Shut up for me, listen to Mu Huali well!" ”

The main hall calmed down again, and Mu Huali continued: "Sun Tzu said that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles. In fighting a war, we must first understand the enemy's feelings, our own feelings, and other people's feelings, and this is the prerequisite for winning a war. Take the current situation of the Jin State as an example, they were able to annex half of the Great Song Dynasty, not by accident or luck, but because he had a certain strength and strategy. Moreover, after the founding of the country for so many decades, he has a certain foundation of national strength, tens of millions of people, millions of troops, and a vast area. They are not comparable to any of the scattered tribes of the Mongolian steppe. It is a country with a complete system, and although the current national situation tends to decline, the thousand-legged insects are dead but not stiff. Just ask, with our current national strength, can we immediately destroy him and take revenge?

"Take 10,000 steps back and say, we can have enough ability to kill him, who can guarantee that we are one-on-one, and he has no one to help? A golden country is enough for us to deal with, and if another country helps him, not only will we not be able to take revenge, but there is also the possibility that we will not be able to protect ourselves or be destroyed by them. ”

Bolshu listened to Mu Huali's above words, and his heart changed slightly, but he still said unconvinced: "The more you say, the more outrageous it becomes, we fight Jinguo, and there are still people to help him?" ”

"That's right! I can tell you for sure that if someone helps him, this person is the Western Xia Kingdom that came out of wolfberries! Mu Huali turned around and picked up the tea bowl again, took a sip, and said with a few wolfberries in his mouth, "Goji berries are delicious, but the Tangut people won't let us eat his wolfberries." Therefore, the establishment of our Great Mongolia Kingdom is regarded as their greatest threat, and they will never look at us as strong, or defeat the Jin State and ignore it, and the Western Xia will definitely send troops. ”

The topic finally got to the point, Mu Huali breathed a sigh of relief, calmly looked around, and looked at the reactions of the generals.

Genghis Khan remained silent, and the broad-ended Barahe still squinted as if he was asleep. Some of the generals nodded, some shook their heads, and some were confused. Only one Borshu pondered for a moment and said, "Didn't you say that Western Xia was at odds with the Jin Kingdom?" He will help Jin Guo, who believes it? ”

Mu Huali just needs someone like Borshu to stand up and ask questions, so that he can clarify everyone's understanding for the Great Khan and unify his thoughts to one point, so that he can unite his military strength and unite as one. So he walked up to Borshu and said, "What the general said is right! Western Xia had a contradiction with the Jin State, but if he wanted to see which country's interests were greater, his balance would tilt there. There is more interest than friendship between countries, and interests are constantly transformed. At present, the Western Xia Kingdom is the smallest among the Three Kingdoms, and he not only pays tribute to the Southern Song Dynasty, but also pays tribute to the Jin State, why? He didn't want the Jin Kingdom to be strong, nor did he want the Southern Song Dynasty to be strong. He is trying to find a balance between his own fundamental interests in order to preserve himself. In the same way, he is also looking for a balance between the Kingdom of Jin and the Kingdom of Great Mongolia. He will not watch Mongolia destroy the Jin Kingdom, nor will he watch the Jin Kingdom destroy the Mongolian Kingdom. Otherwise, there would be no room for him to survive. The saying that there are no permanent enemies and no permanent friends, this is the truth. Do you think he will help Jin Guo? ”

This dialectical rhetoric basically clarified the basin of mixed water in the main hall. It can be said that there are two distinct groups of people, the vast majority of those who understand and agree, and a small number of people who are unclear or who break the casserole to ask the end. Among these people, there is a general Borshu who really does not admit defeat, and every time he asks a question, of course, everyone must understand, he faced Mu Huali and said: "So, if the Jin Kingdom is not fighting, our revenge will not be avenged?" ”

"Hit! Not only to fight, but also to completely destroy him! "Mu Huali is categorical.

The generals became lively again, gossiping: If you don't fight for a while, you will fight for a while, what's going on?

"Heh, Mu Huali, you're going around as a wolf, you have to say no." Borshu said, "Let's talk about how to fight now, I am willing to take the lead and ensure that I will be the first to kill the capital of the Jin Kingdom." ”

"Hit, not now. It is not yet possible to completely eliminate him. And our strength can't be thorough, we also have to find helpers in order to completely and cleanly eliminate the Jin country and avenge the world. ”

"Looking for a helper, who is the helper, will the Western Xia Congress help us?" Borshu scoffed.

"Nope! No! Mu Huali shook his head and said, "Our helpers are not from the Western Xia, but only after destroying the Western Xia first." ”

Mu Huali's words were a 180-degree turn for the generals. And for Genghis Khan and several generals with high IQs, it was the finishing touch. The thinking of this part of the people was taken a step deeper, and their attention was focused on the Southern Song Dynasty that Mu Huali was referring to. Genghis Khan couldn't help but secretly praise Mu Huali, a military wizard.

"Huh? Fight Xixia, Xixia has no enmity with us, beat him, why? The crowd shouted in surprise.

Mu Huali deliberately raised his voice and said: "Think about it, when you face two opponents, one is strong and the other is weak, which one do you fight first?" ”

All the generals crawled out of the actual battle, and they still understood such a hidden truth, and they all said: "Of course, first fight the one to deal with, kill the weak one, and then concentrate forces to deal with the powerful one." ”

"That's right! You're right. Mu Huali first affirmed the generals' answers, and then said, "We just want to destroy Western Xia first, and then concentrate on destroying the Jin Kingdom." ”

Borshu, who was provocative, said: "Fight Western Xia, won't Jin Guo help Western Xia?" ”

Mu Huali said: "This is what I just said, to understand their national conditions and their relationship. First of all, the emperor of the Jin State was self-sustained and strong, and he would not take Mongolia in his eyes at all; The second is the two ends of the head of the Western Xia State, and the relationship with the Song Dynasty is maintained at a certain level of heat, so as to contain the Jin State. Jin Guo hated this to the core, and he also wanted to destroy the Western Xia in order to relieve his worries and concentrate his forces to start a war against the Southern Song Dynasty. In a sense, the Jin State is an alliance for us, and the goal for the time being is the same, so they will definitely not send troops to help the Western Xia deal with our Great Mongolia. In addition, we can also make peace with the Jin State to confuse him, do you think he will send troops to rescue Western Xia? ”

At this point, Mu Huali's grand strategic thinking of attacking Western Xia, uniting the Southern Song Dynasty, and destroying the Jin State has been fully accepted by Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan nodded frequently with Kuduan Bara, and finally made up his mind to start with Western Xia to unfold this picture of great conquest.

At this time, Borshu was also speechless and picky, in fact, he also agreed with Mu Huali's strategic intentions in his heart, but his face was a little unbearable, and finally he said: "Attack Western Xia, we are nameless?" How to explain to the world? ”

"Why is there no name?" Genghis Khan suddenly stood up and stood in front of the generals and hundreds of officials, and said very seriously, "Xiankun, the son of Wang Han, the enemy of the Western Xia Kingdom, who took us in, is the enemy of my Great Mongolian Kingdom!" ”
