Chapter 70: Integration
When dawn broke in the east, Samur woke up and found that he had climbed into bed and lay down beside him, his face resting on his shoulder, and his right hand resting on his chest, while he was still asleep, his left hand on his right hand......
Samur got up slightly, straightened his hair, glanced down at the forehead, then sighed slightly, turned and walked out.
But what Samur didn't know was that the moment she turned her head, she opened her eyes and stared at her back until it disappeared into the curtain......
After a short time, the horn sounded in the camp, which was the sound of getting up, and in half an hour the brigade was about to set off, and they were to rush to the Western Sea to join the Great Khan Baonu.
......
It is about 500 miles southwest of Tara Daying, and is the beautiful West Sea.
Since the beginning of Ugqi, this has been the residence of the great chief of Warat, and it is also the second center of the steppe, which can almost compete with the forest division.
But everything has changed since five days ago, when a large golden tent appeared on the shores of Lake Xihai, surrounded by tens of thousands of Mongol troops.
Five days ago, the Dibaonu Pai Sre raided the general ledger of Warat with the gold medal of the Eseku, but unexpectedly captured most of the Warat nobles, and the outer Warat army, due to the lack of unified command and the rat trap, except for a few who escaped, most of them laid down their arms and surrendered to the Mongol army.
Seeing this, Dibaonu was overjoyed, and immediately struck while the iron was hot and convened the Kulitai Conference.
At the conference, Dibaonu served as the moderator and elaborated on his vision for the future of the Great Yuan Empire.
First of all, he elaborated on the whole process of the battle of Tongliao, pointing out that the Ming Dynasty was very powerful, and defeated the main force of Warat with less than 5,000 troops under the city of Shuangliao, and the great leader of Wara, Eseku, was seriously wounded and unable to lead the army.
Afterwards, Dibaonu explained why he had come west.
After the defeat of Warat, he was very confused and did not know what to do, so he could only pray sincerely and pray for instructions from the Immortal Heaven.
He pointed out that there was no way out of the Mobei steppe, and the only way out was to go west, to conquer the west, to plunder the beauty and wealth, and to create a new paradise for the Mongols.
......
The meeting lasted for two days, and the final result was very satisfactory to the dibaonu.
First of all, he made a blood alliance with the nobles present to protect their interests, and based on this, the Dibaonu obtained their allegiance.
In fact, the reason is very simple, these nobles do not like the Eseku, do not like the various restrictions on them by the Eseku, and prefer to be free, in this regard, the Dibaonu fully satisfy them, and the Warat division is weak, which is also in line with the interests of the Dibaonu.
In addition, most of the nobles present advocated the Western Expedition, and most of the opponents of the Western Expedition followed the Eastern Expedition with the Eseku, except for those who died in battle, most of them are now under the control of the Dibaonu, so the resolution of the Western Expedition was quickly passed.
Of course, in the eyes of Dibaonu, this is also due to his status as the Great Khan and the prestige of his ancestor Genghis Khan.
In the end, Dibaonu reorganized the Mongol army and divided it into three divisions: left, center, and right, the left part was composed of the Wara tribes, led by Eseku, the middle was his own cowardly Xue army, which was led by Sire, and the right part was the Modong Mongolian tribes, and the leader was Tanzan, a close confidant of Dibaonu.
For this, everyone does not object, because this is just a name, and it does not change the existing pattern, nor does it harm everyone's interests.
It's just that for Lijida as the heir to the left, the eldest concubine Oton Gaowa, the national teacher Wang Xing and others strongly oppose it, but unfortunately there are not many people who support them.
Perhaps in the eyes of these aristocrats, it was more beneficial for them to appoint a four-year-old boy as their heir.
Therefore, the opposition of Oton Gaova, Wang Xing and others was invalid, and the matter of Jeddah as the heir was finally decided.
In the next few days, Dibaonu continued the unfinished topic, redividing the winter pastures, and at the suggestion of everyone, the Modong Mongols migrated to the vicinity of the West Sea for the winter, while the headquarters of the Eseku moved to the vicinity of Jinshan for the winter, and the pastures of the others remained basically unchanged, except that the pastures of the Shuote Department were slightly adjusted and closer to the West Sea; And Eseku's younger brother, Duoben, was moved to the vicinity of the Tianshan Mountains to prepare for the westward expedition.
......
In short, in the past few days, the Dibaonu only slept three or four hours a day, and kept meeting with the leaders of the tribes, talking and communicating with them, and during the conversation, the Dibaonu showed the greatest sincerity and helped them solve their problems as much as possible, and most of the leaders were very grateful and loyal......
Of course, as to whether they were sincere, Di Baonu did not insist on it, because he knew that after these people returned to the tribe, they would probably turn their faces and run away, but even so, they would not be able to take away the grasslands, which were for more Modong Mongolia to recuperate.
If they move westward, they will be the vanguard of the westward crusade.
If they move eastward, then they are likely to face the Ming army's troops, and when they suffer, they may be more obedient.
......
Before Samur woke up, Dibaonu had already gotten up, because there was a very important event today, that is, the return of the tribal leader to his headquarters and the migration for the winter, and he could not delay it any longer.
By the time the sun was up, the chiefs of the various tribes came to say goodbye one after another and left the West Sea in batches, but the headquarters of the Eseku had not yet left, because they had to wait for the arrival of the Eseku, Samur, and Jeddah before they could make a final decision.
After seeing off the last tribal leader, Dibaonu walked out of the tent and came to the western sea, followed by Sire and Tanzai and others, and not far away was the personal guard of the Great Khan.
"Sre, Tanzania, this is a great place!"
"Yes! Sweat! ”
Si Re looked at the endless Xihai Lake, and said excitedly: "This place is similar to the Beihai, the water is boundless, the products are rich, but it is much warmer than the Beihai, it is really a treasure made in heaven!" ”
"Yes! Sweat! ”
Unlike Sre's enthusiasm, Tanzan only responded dryly.
"Hehe, Tanzan, the leaders of the tribes have gone back today, how do you think they will decide?"
"This,"
Tanzan was about forty years old, medium height, thin and weak, his face was a little pale, and he occasionally coughed twice, he was silent for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Great Khan, the last general really can't say it!" ”
"yes, no one can say it!"
Di Baonu sighed, turned his head to look to the east, and said, "Ben Khan is walking a tightrope now!" We have migrated thousands of miles here, the materials are very scarce, it is not easy to survive this winter, you must appease the people well, there must be no people who die of cold and starvation, otherwise Ben Khan will ask the two of you! ”
“......”
Sire and Tanzai glanced at each other, sighed in their hearts, but on the surface, they could only give up: "Don't worry, Da Khan, we will do it!" ”
Di Bao Nu was about to speak, but saw a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and in an instant, a knight dismounted ten meters away, walked quickly to Di Bao Nu, and said: "Great Khan, the woman and child of Wang Xing have been found!" ”
"Where?"
"They, under the protection of several knights, went in the direction of Hami! Senno-sama is catching up! ”
"Hami?"
Di Baonu muttered slightly: "The Khan has ordered that no conflict with the Hami army is allowed. ”
"Great Khan, that-"
"It doesn't matter, if you really can't catch up, then forget it, it's just a woman and a child, it's no big deal!"
"Yes, Great Khan!"
After the messenger left, Dibaonu was silent for a long time without speaking, Sire and Tanzan naturally did not dare to disturb, they knew that what the Great Khan was thinking about at the moment was the Great Ming Jingshi who was thousands of miles away, and the emperor there - Zhu Yunwen.
