119 Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Two of the five Khalkha tribes were defeated by Nurhachi's Jurchens, and seeing that Zai Sai, who had vowed to help each other at the beginning, became a turtle with a shrunken head, everyone was very angry but helpless, so they had to gather men and horses to hold on to the dangerous place to resist the enemy. Disheartened, the Bahraini tribe fled to Korqin to survive, while the remnants of Bayott simply surrendered to Nurhachi. Knowing that the Ming army attacked Liaodong in three ways, Nurhachi was afraid that the old nest would be taken away and had to drive the cattle and sheep class back to Shenyang, just when everyone was relieved, there was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Lin Dan Khan sent 50,000 people to take advantage of the fire to rob and destroy the five Khalkha tribes of Uziyat and Hongjirat.
A few days later, Taiji Orqitu, the only remaining member of the five tribes, came to Lin Dan Khan in person to ask for an explanation. When Orqitu came to Lin Dan Khan's tent alone, he found that Khalkha's Noyan Zaisai was talking to Lin Dan Khan with a smile, and he couldn't see any sadness in him at all. Orqitu was so angry that he couldn't help laughing, and when he heard his laughter, Lin Dan Khan called his brother Tubahai out of the tent to greet him.
After entering the tent, Orqitu bowed down first, and then asked: "May I ask Dahan and Nuoyan, your subordinates and Mongolian men have just been killed by the Jurchens and their blood is flowing like a river, can you still drink the wine in the cup?" ”
Tubahai shouted: "Presumptuous! Is there a Taiji who you talk to the Great Khan and Noyan like this? ”
Orqitu said sadly: "Think how mighty my Mongols were back then, and now they are not only robbed and killed by foreigners, but also taken captive by their own people, and the wise Genghis Khan would not have allowed such a thing to happen if he had a spirit in the sky." To tell you the truth, I didn't plan to go back alive when I came today, but I just asked the Great Khan to answer my question before executing me, why did the Mongols kill each other? After speaking, two tears flowed from his eyes.
Lin Dan Khan thought for a while and said: "It turns out that Orqi Tutaiji also knows that he is a descendant of Genghis Khan, but what you have done for so long is worthy of the identity of a descendant of Genghis Khan?" I won't talk about pretending to be Fuyu and Taining, the two watchdog identities of the Ming people, to receive the reward, after all, it is forced to survive, but I don't listen to the order to use soldiers privately, and I marry with a different race in private without even saying hello, these things always happen, right? What did the Mongols rely on to run amok in the world? It's unity! By obedience! Why didn't you think that you were the descendants of Genghis Khan when you betrayed your master? ”
Orqitu said: "There is something wrong with us on this side, but isn't it also because the Great Khan turned his back on everyone in the first place? Everyone is believing in the Yellow Religion, and the Great Khan went to the Red Sect without even saying hello, doesn't the Great Khan know the teachings of the Red Religion? Will the shepherds who believe in the Red Religion still listen to us Taiji? ”
Any religion must be connected to the lives of ordinary people, otherwise this religion is a tower without a foundation. In Tibetan Buddhism, the Yellow Sect advocates the system and precepts, and the Taiji who believe in the Yellow Sect apply the teachings of the Yellow Sect to ordinary life management, and use the system to manage everyone according to the hierarchy, so that everyone is at peace. But the Red Sect is different, the Red Sect says that everyone should obey the master unconditionally and without any doubts, and the master is what he says, and he can attain perfection through continuous cultivation. Everyone can be perfect, regardless of whether they are high or low, and if they don't listen to Taiji's master, then how can they manage and rule? This is the origin of the estrangement between the Eastern Mongolian tribes and Lin Dan Khan.
After listening to Orqitu's words, Lin Dan Khan said: "I can't finish talking about the Red Sect and the Yellow Sect for a while, let's talk about it slowly when we have time, and now let's talk about the current matter first." When you accuse the Mongols of fratricidal slaughter, do you mean that a few days ago, Tubahai led people to forcibly bring back the men, women and livestock of the Uqiyat and Hongjirat?
I just asked Tubahai to bring people back, and I didn't let him kill anyone. ”
Orqitu said: "Since there is no murder, why did the Great Khan do this? Do you have to keep everyone in your hands before you give up? ”
Lin Danhan smiled and said, "Since Taiji wants to be reasonable, why don't you sit down and talk slowly?" Also, why are you the only one who comes, what about the two Taiji? Go and call them in and we'll reason with us. In the name of my ancestor Genghis Khan, I swear that I will never embarrass you, and even if it doesn't make sense, you can leave wherever you want. ”
Seeing that Orqitu was hesitating, Khalkha's Noyan Zaisai said: "Go and call them, Lin Dan Khan is not a man of his word." ”
Orqitu said with a little hatred: "Noyan is my Khalkha Noyan, you don't care what else I have to say, they are not far away, I will personally pick them up." With that, he turned around and went out.
After a while, Orqitu came with seven or eight people, and the guards asked them to hand over their waist knives and then enter the tent, they thought about it and took off their waist knives and entered the tent, and after sitting down, they all looked at Lin Dan Khan with red eyes.
Lin Danhan smiled and asked, "Have you heard of one thing?" Nurhachi of the Jurchen tribe likes to read a book by the Han people in his life, this book is called the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, which Nurhachi bought when he went to meet the emperor of the Ming Dynasty when he was young, which of you has read this book? ”
Orqitu thought for a while and said, "I haven't read it, but when I was fine, I heard that the book said, why did the Great Khan mention this?" Could it be related to the fact that the Great Khan sent people to take advantage of the fire to rob and rob the male and female livestock of the Khalkha Ministry? ”
Lin Dan Khan said: "Of course it is related, since Taiji has heard it, he should understand that the current relationship between Mongolia, Ming and Jurchen is the same as the relationship between Wei, Shu and Wu in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and the two weak parties should unite to deal with the stronger side." A few years ago, the Jurchens were very weak, they relied on the Ming Dynasty to gradually suppress our Mongolia, and finally the Jurchens became stronger and stronger, and Mongolia became weaker and weaker, and then the Jurchens gradually became stronger and turned against the Ming Dynasty, and often contacted Mongolia to fight against the Ming Dynasty, which is similar to Liu Bei in the Three Kingdoms? ”
Seeing that everyone was listening to Lin Dan Khan, he continued: "But now the Jurchens are already extremely powerful, they can defeat the Ming army in Salhu, Liaoyang, Tieling and other places, and they can also defeat our Mongolian tribes repeatedly, which shows that they are no longer Liu Bei but Cao Cao, at this time, if we want to benefit from them, we are seeking skin with the tiger, and it is destined not to end well." ”
Orqitu thought for a while and said, "Then what is the Great Khan going to do?" Will the Great Khan be able to unify Mongolia like Genghis Khan? Even if the Great Khan was able to unify the Mongols, would he be able to defeat the Jurchens and the Ming army? ”
Lin Dan Khan said: "Plans are in the people, things are in the sky, I Mongols must do two things to restore the Great Yuan, one is to have courage and the other is to know obedience, so I must find a way to unify the whole Mongolia, in the near future there will be no Khalkha Mongolia, no Karaqin Mongolia, no Korqin Mongolia, and even no Tumut Mongolia and Jihan Mongolia, Mongolia can only have one, that is, Mongolia with the ultimate goal of restoring the Great Yuan under the banner of Genghis Khan." ”
Orqitu asked, "The Great Khan has a point, but how are you going to deal with the relationship between the Yellow Sect and the Red Sect?" And the relationship with the Jurchens and the Ming Dynasty? ”
Lin Dan Khan said: "This Khan believes in both the Yellow and Red religions, and allows everyone to believe in different religions according to their own circumstances, and the purpose of this is to give hope to everyone." Only when everyone feels hopeful will everyone be united, and only when everyone feels hopeful will everyone feel fair. Of course, religion is religion, reality is reality, in religion you can trust anyone, but in reality all Mongols can only listen to Ben Khan, otherwise Ben Khan will hack him to death and make him go down to the earth to believe in others. ”
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Lin Dan Khan said: "As for the Jurchens and the Han people of the Ming Dynasty, they are not good things, they all want the lives of our Mongols." For them, we have only two ways to surrender or die, the difference is that the Ming Dynasty may only meet us in the future, because their cavalry is still very weak, and an army without cavalry in the steppe is an army that is not to be worried. And the Jurchens want our lives now, so it should be clear to everyone who we should deal with first. ”
Seeing that Orqitu and the others did not speak, Zai Sai asked: "May I ask the Great Khan, if we cooperate with the Ming army to deal with the Jurchens, the Great Khan is not afraid that the Ming army will become stronger and stronger, and it will be our Mongols' turn to finish the Jurchens?" ”
Lin Danhan laughed and said: "The people of the Ming Dynasty are very strange, when their emperor was young, they all had a lot of energy, and when this emperor was old, he thought about how to get by. It is not easy to kill the Jurchens, with the current strength of the Ming Dynasty, you don't have to think about it for twenty or thirty years. Now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is still young, and he is not interested in inviting him after twenty or thirty years, and it is not up to us Mongolians to have the final say on the steppe at that time? Once the Ming Dynasty weakened and the Mongols were united and strong, it was time to restore the Great Yuan. ”
After listening to Lin Dan Khan's words, Orqitu said: "We are willing to obey the command of the Great Khan, but can the Great Khan release their wives and children?" Seeing Lin Dan Khan's look, the other Taiji all nodded.
Lin Dan Khan said: "As long as you hand over the army, not to mention your wives and children, even your former subordinates will be under your control." I want you to hand over the army for no other purpose, just for unified management, because in this month, Ben Khan has already negotiated with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens in Liaodong will be solved by them, and the Mongols who are hugging the Jurchens in the steppe will be solved by us, and the two sides will build a castle together in the Daling River to guard each other and defend together. And I want to tell you a good news, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has decided to build a city in Lianghekou, and when the time comes, we can trade in Lianghekou City, and everyone's ministry will never be hungry. ”
Everyone was very happy after listening to Lin Dan Khan's words, only Zai Sai asked: "That Ming Emperor is not afraid that we Mongols will unite against him in the future?" ”
Lin Dan Khan said: "This emperor is a little interesting, he said that when the Jurchens are defeated, we will continue to fight if we can't get along, he has this arrogance, don't I have a Mongolian man?" ”
Everyone raised their hands and said, "Yes!" Yes! ”
