Chapter 714: Mongolian National Division
When he arrived at the camp area, Yelu Ahai was told that the Great Khan had led several emperors and grandsons and thousands of households to hunt.
Yelu Ahai's face immediately looked a little unpleasant, and Yarawachi couldn't help but say with a guilty face: "Brother Yelu, I am the one who has caused you trouble." ”。
As a close vassal who started his career with Temujin, Yeluahai became more and more marginalized as the Mongol Empire grew. Especially after the establishment of the Great Yuan, Yelu Ahai became a 'peasant official' with little real power. And in fact, there is no agriculture to manage in the Mongolian steppe.
The number of sheep is the private property of each Nayan, and has nothing to do with Jereh Ahai. It is not his turn to take care of the herd of Temur, and there are more people who are fighting for their heads.
Therefore, he, as a 'peasant official', is a fictitious position in name only.
Probably for the sake of looking better, Temur still assigned him a little work. Like cultivating a field on a steppe. Although Yelu Ahai was dissatisfied, he still did his best.
The acres of Hala and Lin were opened up by him.
It was not without an agricultural base before.
When the Great Liao set up the Beijing Road in Mobei, it was used as the place where the palace of the Great King of Zhubu was located, and there were traces of Han farming. It has been abandoned for a long time, but there are traces to follow. Therefore, the work of Jeruahai is not difficult to do.
But this is precisely the most torturous!
Yelu Ahai's ambition was to follow Temujin to destroy the Jin Kingdom and avenge the destruction of the Jin Kingdom by the Jin people a hundred years ago. Now that he is assigned to farm, isn't he a talent?
Now Temujin went hunting with almost all his close ministers, but he did not even get any news, which proved that he was completely untrusted by Temujin.
"Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with you. Maybe the Great Khan saw that my affairs were complicated and couldn't bear to disturb me. Jerry Ahai explained with some self-deception. But he looked lonely, obviously not even believing what he said.
Yaravaka nodded gently, and echoed: "Brother Yelu has followed the Great Khan for many years, and the Great Khan must still remember your hard work in the past." ”。
Yelu Ahai looked at the palace tent a few meters away, representing the Great Khan's heavenly might. The golden ribbon was tied around the tent, and in the sun, it became a golden tent. In the past, he could enter and leave the tent at will, but now he could only look at it from a distance.
The change in status, he has long understood.
Yaravatchi was afraid that Yelu Ahai would think too much, and his heart would inevitably be upset. He said loudly: "Why don't Brother Yelu go back first?" I asked someone to ask where the hunting area was, and I went to meet him as an envoy. ”。
The relationship between Yuan and Mongolia was rifted after Da Yuan set foot in Hexi. The most obvious thing is that as the envoy of the Great Yuan, Yarawachi's actions are no longer as convenient as before. Just as Temujin moved the palace tent to Hala and Lin, the embassy of the Great Yuan was ordered to move to the city of Hodong.
The city of Hodong is the former city of Kedun, which is the headquarters of the Northwest Recruitment Division of the Great Liao. Yelu Dashi, the founder of Western Liao, stayed in Kedun City for two or three years, and collected all the Mobei tribes. It was only later burned by the Jin, and now it has been rebuilt by the Mongols.
Both the Han and Yuan people preferred to live in the city, which was very different from the life of the Mongols. And though the city of Kotun was burned down, the city was still there. For the convenience of management, Temujin asked Han craftsmen to rebuild the city of Kedun.
It is now a famous trading city in the Mongolian steppe.
Without the ingenuity of the Mongol Nayans, the Han and Yuan merchants in Duncheng started doing business, and they were like fish in water. Especially after the northern part of the Jin Kingdom was conquered by the Mongols, more and more Han merchants came to the grassland. In the eyes of the Mongols, they are all low-status people who kill at will.
In the face of the oppression of the Mongols, there was no power to resist it.
Unlike the Yuan people, with the Great Yuan Empire as the backing in the rear, the Mongols did not dare to oppress them too much. Therefore, the significance of Dong City, for the Han people, is a rare place of tranquility and freedom.
Of course, this is only relative.
All the Han merchants who came to the city from the Jin Kingdom actually secretly took refuge in the Mongols. Although they were not oppressed from time to time in the city of Hodong, their actions were influenced by the Mongols.
With the Dayuan merchants completely losing the trust of the Mongols, the Han Chinese had become the commercial agents of the Mongols. It can be said that it was precisely because of the existence of the Great Yuan that the relationship between the original Hui merchants and the Mongols was completely changed, and the status of the Han people was improved.
The fourth-class people made by the Mongols in history have no chance to take shape now.
The reason why Temujin asked Yaravach to move the embassy there was obviously because he was aware of the intelligence operations of the Great Yuan in Mongolia. So out of precaution, but also politically, out of a hint of estrangement between the two countries.
This time, however, Yaravach received instructions from Malu and had to come to Hara and Lin to meet Temujin in person. So as to make a prediction for the subsequent trend of relations between the two countries.
"It doesn't matter! I have a lot of free time, so I don't have to rush back. Yelu Ahai heard Yaravachi's understanding, but still insisted on staying to help him. Then he said loudly: "Let's go find someone, he must know where the Great Khan has gone." ”。
Yaravachi has been friends with Jeruahai for some years! Even if they are in different camps, they may as well be able to trust Yelu Ahai in Yarawachi. And he did not ask who it was, but went with Jerehahai.
When he arrived at a tent with a bull's head hanging from it, Yarawachi had already guessed about the man.
"The Protector is the messenger of the Immortal Heaven, and the Great Khan also respects him. Every time the tribe has a master, it will first ask the national teacher to ask about the meaning of immortality. Then Jereh explained and went to the front of the tent.
The Mongols in Mobei are all wild wolves who grew up in a difficult environment. The reverence for nature is much stronger than that of ordinary agricultural civilization. Everything, they are accustomed to attributing to the Immortal Heaven.
Think God has a definition!
And on the grassland, there are very few wizards with prestige in general. Tokhtar inherited the mantle of his Daddy Monlik, and when Temujin had not yet unified the steppe tribes, he took refuge in the Kereh tribe. It was not until Temujin gained the prestige of unifying the tribes that he turned to the Mongols.
The family has a long history and has been passed down for generations. Ordinary herdsmen would think that whoever the wizard took refuge in was the chosen son of the steppe.
Because of the previous attempt to challenge Temujin's authority, the eldest brother of the former detachment, Tongtian Witch-Kuokuo, was given death. Therefore, the title of the national teacher fell to the head of Toto.
He has a low-key temperament, and even a little cowardly. It's just the opposite of the arrogant and domineering temperament. It's not that Yaravachi hadn't thought about wooing the other party before, but Tokhtaku was too cautious and cautious, and he resolutely refused to accept the gifts he gave.
Therefore, I had to give up.
Now that Jerea Ahai is around, there is a chance to meet.
"Is the national teacher in there?" and Jereahai inquired about the guards in front of the tent.
nodded, the other party knew Yelu Ahai, and hurriedly entered the communication.
