Chapter VII: Misappropriation and Punishment of Treachery

Talihutai sat on the high chair of the superintendent in the center of the lawn of the Mongolian camp, and no matter how much Temujin Mu Bald scolded him, he was tepid, his face was calm, and he was calm and abnormal, and he did not have his usual irritable and reckless habits. provoked the Mongols to raise the sharp knife in their hands and shout: "Revenge! Avenge! Avenge! Kill him! Kill him! ”

When the crowd was urging to kill Temujinmu Bald'er, Tali Kutai slowly stood up from the high chair, walked to the wooden cage and said to the screaming Temujin Bald'er: "This prince is very magnanimous, although he has a grudge against you for killing his father, but there is no end to retribution. The Mongols also don't want to make enemies with the Tatars for generations, this prince has the heart to let you go, you see it, but it is impossible for everyone to agree, and if you want to cut you with a knife, it can be regarded as a life for a life, so as not to torture you. But, we should also have the Great Khan's order......"

The caged Temujin Mu Bald shouted: "Don't say it, Lao Tzu led you with this love, shouldn't you want Lao Tzu to die a miserable death?" Come on, you will be punished with a wooden donkey! ”

Talihutai slyly raised his voice and said, "The Great Khan's order is not a wooden donkey punishment, but our Mongolian punishment!" ”

As soon as he heard the punishment, Temujin was terrified, and he didn't care about his proud name, so he lay in the corner of the cage, trembling, and screamed in fear: "It's time soon, you wolf cub of a maid, you are too vicious, the Tatars will not let you go, and my descendants will seek revenge on you!" ”

The Mongols on the lawn took out their boning knives and shouted, "Death!" Belly Punishment! Eat him! Eat him! ”

Tali Kutai knew that Tatar's spies were indispensable in the crowd, and the Tatars knew who to take revenge, the sooner the better, and it was time to kill them tomorrow, so Lao Tzu was happy. But now, first avenge my father Khan, and let your son share the joy of Lao Tzu's revenge alive. So, he shouted: "Zun should quickly take the order of the Great Khan and give the Tatar leader Temujin Mu Bald to be punished!" ”

Mongolian punishment was imposed on the most heinous Mongolian enemies, traitors to the Mongol tribes, and serious offenders of the clan rules. No one is allowed to use it without the consent of the Great Khan and all the tribal leaders. Talihutai listened to the treacherous plan of his mother, Erduo, and won the right to be beheaded, and used the punishment without permission, deliberately increasing Tatar's hatred for Yesuga. This plan really requires the life that it deserves.

The mention of the torture of the first hero made the Hero Temumu Bald Er frightened, which is enough to show that its cruelty is extraordinary. The whole procedure is divided into five steps: first, cleansing and bathing; the second is the red net cover; the third is slow-fire smoked fish; Fourth, a thousand cuts; Fifth, it is jaw-dropping. After these five steps, it can be said that no strong person or ghost in the world or hell can stand it. The people of the steppe said that they would rather go to hell and walk a hundred times than be tortured by the Mongols.

At the beginning of the execution, as the shouts sounded, eight naked men armed with large knives opened the wooden cage and took out the Temujin wood bald. loosened the tie and began the first step of the horrific punishment: cleansing and bathing. The Mongolian naked executioners were divided into two groups, four people stripped Temujin naked according to the clothes, and the four people used large knives to remove Temujin's hair, cut four holes in the front heart and back, and put poisonous blood for a while, just like the Han people killed animals, and the blood was first bled to keep the meat fresh and tender. Then, soak in a large vat filled with salt water for half an hour, take it out and nail your limbs to the prepared large wooden table with wooden nails.

Step 2: Red mesh cover. The eight big men used the sharp knives in their hands to draw a grid the size of a finger cover from head to toe, and the grid slowly and evenly penetrated the shallow blood stains outward, and the whole person was like a red silk mesh covering. The man's movements were very skillful and rhythmic, and this rhythm was accompanied by the screams of Temujin's bald son.

Step 3: Smoke the fish over a slow fire. Throw the red net-covered and screaming Temujin Bald into the big oil pot, and then set fire to the pine fir wood under the pot. Temujin, who only showed half of his head, scurried around in the oil pot, and had been yelling and scolding before, but as the temperature of the oil gradually increased, he began to shout for help.

Tali Hutai circled around the cauldron, laughed wildly, and said: "It's useless, you shouldn't be able to hear it, even if you hear it, will he let you go?" Besides, so many people are waiting to eat smoked wolf meat. ”

The key to this step is the heat, and the big man repeatedly extinguishes the pine wood under the pot, ignites, extinguishes, ignites, and extinguishes again...... Always keep the oil temperature at a temperature, this temperature is to let the people in the oil pot gradually suffer, and after the skin is burnt, the people are still breathing, and the gods know clearly.

Temujin was jumping up and down in the oil pot, and when he turned yellow, he couldn't jump anymore. At this point, it's time to get up to the next step.

Step 4: A thousand cuts. This step is similar to the torture of the Han Chinese, but it is much more brutal than that. The difficulty is that after the flesh is removed, the meridians and blood vessels cannot be broken, and the circulation of aortic blood and the perceptual existence of the person must be maintained, and the internal organs are intact to ensure that the tortured person can hear, see and speak, and it has particularly high technical requirements for the executioner.

Eight big men used a soft silk mesh colander to scoop up the yellow Tengteng Temujin wood bald child from the oil pot, put it on the wooden table, and fixed it again with wooden nails.

Eating the flesh of the wicked is the pride and enjoyment of the Mongols. However, the distribution of parts of the body of the eater is very particular. Depending on the status, the location of the food is also different, which is strictly hierarchical. First of all, the golden aristocracy, down to the general tribes, and then down to the slaves; First the elder and then the young, first the male and then the female. The main organs and internal organs of the inmate are those of the prisoner and the executioner. But it was necessary to ensure that everyone present received a piece of meat, otherwise the executioners would be expelled from the Mongol tribes, excommunicated from the tribes, and those who were too far behind would be punished themselves. This requirement is somewhat similar to the "sandalwood punishment" of the Han people.

Everyone who gets the meat will dance and shout to the sky. Suddenly, the entire lawn was filled with a "whoop" shout. The skillful technique of the executioner allowed everyone present to receive a slice of meat that was tender and delicious. At this time, only the white skeleton of Temujin was left, but the muscles and bones were intact, the internal organs were still surging, the two ball-like eyes were turning in the abrupt eye pit, and the long red tongue made a "protruding" sound between the bare teeth. Obviously, the man is not dead, either scolding or wailing miserably.

The big man with the sharp knife came down, ready to take the final step - dumbfounded. Tali Kutai brushed them aside and said to the skeleton of the dying Temujin Mu Bald: "When Father Khan was tortured by a wooden donkey, there was no such thing as your current scenery and treatment, and you can proudly show off when you arrive in the Netherworld." "Gouge out that angry tongue and two hateful eyeballs and give them to the Great Khan!" ”

Everyone was amazed when Todo held the plate and handed Temujin's bald eyes and long tongue to Yesugai. He also glared at Toduo angrily and said, "Didn't I order it to be cut?" What's going on? ”

Toduo said: "Tali Kutai used the torture of the belly, and ordered this to be given to you!" ”

He was furious and said, "The vicious Talikutai, whoever allowed him to use the punishment of the navel, he is no longer a member of our Mongolian tribe. "Talikutai was expelled from the Mongol tribes, but his plot succeeded and his goal was achieved.

After the death of Temujin Mu Bald, although the Tatars concentrated their hatred on Yesuga, but the dragons were leaderless, and the fleeing tribes led by Kuduan Barahe embraced Temujin's son who was less than a year old and stayed in Muhe, hiding everywhere to preserve their strength, and for the sake of recovery.

The Mlriji tribe was forced to move eastward to the north of the Hulunber steppe due to strong pressure from the Mongols. At this point, the pattern of the Mongolian steppes has undergone a fundamental change. The territory originally shared by the three tribes was only enjoyed by the Mongol tribes through the first war between the Mongols and the Tatars, which was won by the Mongols. This gave the most favorable space and time for the Mongols to grow and develop.

It is also time to seize the favorable opportunity that cannot be missed, vigorously rectify the tribes, build up armed forces, and unify the small tribes of the steppe, so that the Mongolian tribes and their subordinate tribes have made great progress. The grass is fat and horse-like, rich and rich, and it is a thriving scene. It should have also become a veritable eagle of the Buerhan Mountains, the overlord of half of the Mongolian steppe.

This thriving time of the Mongolian tribe lasted for ten years, and Heerlun also gave birth to three boys and one girl in a row for the sake of the speed. The eldest son, Temujin, the second son, Ha Qu'er, the third son, Hechiwen, the fourth son, Temurun, and the first daughter, Temuge. Yesui's other wife, Ah Yue'er, also gave birth to two sons for him. The big one is called Begtie, and the small one is called Belgutai. At this point, he should have six sons and one daughter. No one, not even God, could have predicted that the descendants of the Swift would change and subvert the world on which humanity depends.

Over the years, what made Ye Su especially happy was that the strange eldest son Temujin could shoot arrows with a bow when he was two years old, went hunting on a horse at the age of five, and pierced the poplar at the age of eight.

Every year in the spring season, the Mongolian tribes hold a Kuritai assembly. In addition to studying the personnel changes and important matters of the tribe, another important part is to select steppe warriors from among the golden nobles and their tribes to improve the fighting ability of the Mongols.

The trials consist of three major events: wrestling, riding and archery. The procedure is that each golden nobleman and his tribe will select the top 10 to participate in the Mongolian tribal competition on the basis of their own competition.

The 30 candidates selected will be a round-robin competition in the mixed competition, with the top three in each event, a total of 9 players. Then the method of knockout will be used to win the first place. Win the first place in the all-around through a round-robin race in three first-place races.

The first in the all-around, he was awarded the title of grassland hero. Those who received the title and the noble tribe to which they belonged had priority in the later elections of the Great Khan. The first three Great Khans, Habul, Ibagai and Yesugai were the first places in the martial arts competition of the Kuritai Conference that year, and were named the heroes of the steppe eagles. Therefore, every year in the competition, all tribes attach great importance to sending their best warriors to lay the foundation for winning the Khan throne in the future.

At this year's Kuritai Conference, Temujin was just eight years old and was not eligible to participate in the adult competition. I can only watch in the crowd every day with a bow and arrows on my back.

After several months of selection competitions, the first place was selected for each of the three events. The time has come to decide who is the all-powerful Prairie Eagle among the three winners. It was also the last day of the Kuritai Congress, a tiebreaker in which the Great Khan of the clan and his important figures and nobles participated. He should have come to the arena early, and sat on the high Khan seat in front of the lawn of the camp, with the queen of Heelun Khan on the right and the Khan Concubine Ayue'er on the left, sitting on both sides (the Mongolian ethnic system is based on the right and the left. For example, the right prime minister who appeared later was one level higher than the left prime minister. On either side of the concubine sat the elders of the golden nobles and the leaders of the various tribes, as well as the leaders and envoys of other friendly tribes specially invited. It can be described as full of friends and grand.

This last match is of great significance and touches the hearts of every Mongolian. People came to the big lawn of the Mongolian camp early, and there was a sea of people, gongs and drums, and horns sounded in unison. To the cheers of the people, the three individual first-place players came to the center of the field.

The first place in wrestling is called Heimur, the man is the same as his name, black face and bare back, tall and stout, full of height and eight, like a black iron tower, the fist clenched "creak" makes a sound, the arms are bent on both sides of the bear's waist like two bows, a lump of muscles on the body is constantly beating, and the two fire-breathing leopard eyes are staring at the other two players, as if they are about to pounce and bite the opponent to pieces.

The first place in equestrian play was Mongeza, who looked like a big fishy, with a long face and a concave nose, and a convex overhang that covered his earlobes, as if all the people were not as tall as his pallet mouth. It's just that it looks a little more nimble and lighter than the Black Mur.

The first archery is called Helik, and he is also a tall and stout Mongolian man. The two long arms hung down to the knees, although they were not as fierce as the first two, and their eyes were full of flames.

The three warriors made their representative movements in a grand manner, and then arched their hands to Monlik and Toduo, who were the main and deputy referees, and saluted one by one, still standing in the center with empty eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Monlik and Toduo each carried three drinking toilets containing stones of three colors, and asked the three contestants to take out three stones from the toilets. Two players with the same color of the stone in their hands are placed in a group, which means that each player has to play a round against the other two. Three meetings, the cycle is twelve.

The game starts from the rising of the sun and ends in the west, each showing its ability, playing in the dark, exciting, but there is no winner or loser. Because everyone won their own strengths, the other two lost to their opponents, three 1:2. Draw! Such a result has never been seen before, and it is precisely this result that has created an opportunity for a generation of Tianjiao to show his talents.

After Toduo reported the results to the Great Khan, he also asked the nobles for their opinions, what should I do?

At this time, the heads of the nobles had their own hearts. The tribes of the three warriors all share the same idea; Clans that don't have players in the finals is another idea. The tribe with the Warriors who entered the finals strongly demanded to be compared, shouting: "Compare! Again! Be sure to compare the results! ”

The tribe that did not have a warrior to enter the finals shouted: "You can't tell the winner this year, wait until next year!" ”

"No! Absolutely not! ”

"Why not? Do we have to wait until the beard holds the ground to bear fruit? ”

"Will it be these three warriors next year?"

"Do it all over again!"

“……”

The golden aristocrats were noisy, and even left their seats one after another, ready to use force. At that moment, a seven- or eight-year-old boy burst into the arena and shouted, "Whoever can beat me among the three of you is the hero of the grassland!" ”

Yes?! Everyone was shocked, and a doll with a three-point hijab broke in and shouted such wild words, some were shocked, some ridiculed, and some reprimanded. He should have seen that it was his son Temujin, and said sharply: "Temujin! Don't mess around, go away! ”

Tali Hutai, who had a ghost in his heart, wanted to borrow three fierce men to teach Temujin a lesson, or accidentally killed him by mistake, wouldn't it be better, got up and said, "Great Khan, don't! Since Temujin said this, he must have a way. Why don't you just let him try. Then he turned to the other tribes, "Chiefs, how are you?" ”

Usually a few leaders who were co-opted by Tali Kutai also echoed: "Since ancient times, the heroic boy, we can see that it is okay, let little Temujin try it." ”

He Erlun said worriedly: "Great Khan, no, in case ......"

He should have stopped He's words and said: "The situation is deadlocked, what can I do, it's better to let him experience and experience, it's good to have a long insight, everything has me, don't worry." ”

"Well, since everyone has this meaning, let Temujin go through the experience." It was time to stop everyone's noise and shout at Temujin, "Temujin, do you know the rules and regulations of the game? ”

"Yes, father Khan!" Seeing that his father also supported his participation in the competition, Temujin replied loudly.

"Alright, you can participate in the competition. What are you going to do? "It's time to go.

"I'm better than these three uncles, and if I beat them, I'll be the all-around first, the Prairie Hero!" Temujin raised his small hand.

"Hahaha, it's not small......" everyone laughed.

The three warriors teased Temujin and said, "Son, go back and drink milk." ”

He shook his head, worried. But seeing that this peculiar son had such courage and courage at such a young age, he was very happy in his heart, and said, "All right! Monlik, Deduo, you can organize the competition according to the procedure. ”

Monlik ran up to Temujin and said, "Temujin, don't mess around, it's still too late to go back now." ”

"Don't worry, Daddy, Temujin has his own way to deal with it, you just wait." Temujin, who had been called Daddy Monlik since he was a child, made a grimace at Monrik.

Toduo patted Temujin and said, "If you think about it, let's start?" ”

Temujin nodded and said, "Let's start!" I'll wrestle with Heimur first! ”

Todo shouted, "The match between Temujin and the three warriors begins. First of all, we will wrestle with the first place in wrestling, Heimul! ”

The lack of words caused a burst of laughter. Heimur smiled and shook his hand at Temujin, and said, "Boy, come here, if you push my heel off the ground, you win, haha......"

Temujin walked over, not yet tall enough to reach the belly of Black Mur, like a black iron tower and a small sapling facing each other, one could not imagine that there could be a wrestling match between the two with such a huge disparity?

Temujin also puffed up his chest like Heimur, raised his head and said: "I can not only push you, but also beat you to a dog and eat, don't you believe you let the horse come over and try?" After saying that, he hooked his finger a few times, which was a standard Mongolian behavior to look down on each other.

Heimur rolled his eyes at Temujin's amusement, screamed in anger, and took a step forward to grab Temujin. Temujin dodged away, dodged Hemur, and laughed, "What, I didn't push you yet, you moved." Does talking count? ”

Heimur looked at his moving foot, gritted his teeth in anger, and didn't care about what he had just said, and went straight to Temujin.

When Temujin saw Himur coming at him, he gestured and wrestled, dodging left and right, and circled around Himur. The bulky Black Mur has the agility of a teenage child, and the eagle grabs a chick like a chicken that can't touch Temujin's edge. Temujin burrowed around in Hemur's arms like a loach, and after dozens of rounds, Hemur was panting and swaying, unable to wrestle with Temujin anymore.

Temujin saw that Heimur's physical strength was almost exhausted, and it was time to make a move, so he stood in front of Heimur and pinched his waist and said, "Stupid camel, come, come here!" ”

Enraged, Hamur grabbed Temujin with his two ape arms outstretched, and shouted, "Little rabbit, you are dead." ”

Facing the rushing Heimur Temujin did not evade, but met him, and Heimur grabbed Temujin with both arms, and raised his hands above his head, about to fall down......
