γPiaotian Chinese Networkγ, popular free reading!
This tall Mongol is Lin Dan Khan's Erdemutu who stayed in Datong Mountain, because of his brave combat, he was once one of the ten sumu of the Chahar Iron Lance Konot, and belonged to the highest-ranking military general around Lin Dan Khan, so when Lin Dan Khan went to Dacaotan, the Datong Mountain departments were controlled by him.
Li Zicheng did not know Erdemutu, and when he fought in Kadang City that day, his attention was mainly on Lin Dan Khan and Namu Zhong, except for Luo Busang, who participated in the peace talks, he knew no one.
But Erdemutu knew Li Zicheng, and when he saw Li Zicheng sitting on a wooden chair looking at him, Erdemutu took two quick steps and knelt on the ground, "Villain Erdemutu, bow to the Mandate of Heaven Khan!" β
"No need to be polite," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "It is rumored that Erdemutu is one of the ten sumu of the iron lance Konot, which is subordinate to Hutuketu Khan. β
"Thank you Destiny Khan!" Erdemutu smirked, and his big white teeth were peeking out of his thick whiskers.
Li Zicheng looked behind Erdemutu, nearly a hundred cavalrymen were sitting on horseback without moving, and sighed secretly in his heart, simply commanding the troops, this one is probably even more powerful than Lin Dan Khan.
The combat effectiveness of the Mongolian cavalry is strong, relying on the cavalry and archery that they have mastered since childhood, but the military discipline is not good.
Seeing Li Zicheng looking at the soldiers behind him, Erdemutu was wrong for a moment, and hurriedly turned around and said, "You all disperse, go and prepare lunch," and turned to look at Li Zicheng again, "Heavenly Destiny Khan!" β
"Since it's already lunch time, then Erdemutu will have lunch with Ben Khan," Li Zicheng said with a smile: "Settle these cavalry first, and I'll wait for you in Xingyuan!" β
"Thank you Destiny Khan!" Erdemutu estimated that Li Zicheng had something to say, and he did not shirk it, and after arranging the cavalry, he came to Li Zicheng's line alone.
There were already all kinds of dishes on the table, as well as two cutlery, Li Zicheng was already seated, and He Xiaomi, a sheep, was waiting on the side.
Under the guidance of He Xiaomi, Erdemutu sat in the guest seat at the side head, He Xiaomi poured drinks for the two, and returned to Li Zicheng's back.
Li Zicheng raised the wine cup and said, "Erdemutu, please!" β
"Destiny Khan, please!" Erdemutu also raised the wine cup, and the two of them worked together.
Fortunately, it was not distilled liquor that was drunk, otherwise with Li Zicheng's amount of alcohol, he would have to go out in front of Erdemutu.
Erdemutu was originally silent, the first time he drank with Li Zicheng, he was still a little restrained, three glasses of wine in his stomach, only then did he come alive, restored the nature of the Mongols, drank wine and ate meat in a big bowl, and replaced the wine cup prepared by Namu Zhong with a large bowl.
Li Zicheng was worried that he would make a mistake after drinking, so he interrupted his solo drink, "Erdemutu, do you already know about the ascension of Khutuktu Khan?" β
Erdemutu was a little greedy for wine, and the wine bowl was already served, and he was about to bring it to his mouth, but he stopped when he heard the words, bowed his head and said: "It's a pity that the Great Khan is in the prime of life...... The ascension of the Great Khan, the Chahar Department can be ......"
Only then did Li Zicheng understand that Erdemutu also borrowed wine to relieve his sorrows, and the Chahar Department was driven to Dacaotan by Huang Taiji, and the cavalry was only 4,000, not to mention the strong enemy Jurchens, even if they were put in the south and north of the desert, they could only be regarded as a small tribe.
Lin Dan Khan was alive, using his status as a golden family and personal prestige, not only to suppress the tribes, but also the rest of the Mongolian tribes, and half a cent of incense, at least not to embarrass the Chahar Department, but Lin Dan Khan died, and everything was inexplicable.
Without the support of other tribes, the Chahar tribe wanted to dominate the steppe again, but it was wishful thinking, let alone revenge on the Jurchens......
"Erdemutu, you are a warrior that Hutuktu Khan relies on very much, according to you, where will the Chahar tribe go?"
"Isn't the Mandate of Heaven Khan already in charge of the Chahar Ministry? How to ask the villain? Erdemutu put down the wine bowl in his hand and stared.
Li Zicheng tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, and said lightly: "Erdemutu came to Yonggu City, along the way, you should see a lot of herdsmen, they are busy and comfortable, but they are far away from the war, I don't know what to think?" β
Erdemutu said: "The Chahar Ministry is in need of cultivation and recuperation now, and it can't stand the toss anymore......
Li Zicheng nodded, it seems that this Erdemutu is still an understanding person, "Erdemutu thinks, what is the most important thing for the Chahar people now?" β
Erdemutu's eyes were a little confused, and after thinking for a moment, he finally said: "Survival, the Chahar Department has been seriously withered, and only by surviving can the former aura of the Mongolian warriors be restored!" β
"Erdemutu thinks that the Chahar tribe can restore the glory of the Mongols of its past?" Li Zicheng's eyes were undisguised ridicule and contempt, "Not to mention that the glory of Genghis Khan's era cannot be restored, even in the era of Lin Dan Khan, the situation of ordering the southern and northern parts of Mo is probably gone forever......"
"Heavenly Destiny Khan, you ......" Erdemutu's eyes widened, and the green tendons on his forehead bulged one by one, as if he was about to draw a knife at any time.
"Erdemutu, wake up," Li Zicheng caught his fierce gaze and sent it back, "Not to mention the Han people, the Monan grassland is now the world of the Jurchens, even if the Chahar Department can appear in Monan, can it still lead the various Mongolian tribes?" Are you sure to defeat the Jurchen cavalry? β
Erdemutu's old face suddenly turned red, they just couldn't beat the Jurchens, so they were forced to withdraw from the rich pastures of Monan, and fled to the big grassland, as for the Mongol tribes in Monan, they had already taken refuge in Huang Taiji, not only did not support Lin Dan Khan, but also assisted Huang Taiji to hunt down and kill the warriors of the Chahar department.
If it weren't for Lin Dan Khan getting the information of Huang Taiji's westward expedition in time......
The Mandate of Heaven Khan is right, even if the Chahar Department can cultivate and recuperate in Dacaotan and Datong Mountain for decades, if they want to fight back to Monan, I'm afraid it is unrealistic, there are not enough warriors, what can they do to defeat the Jurchen cavalry?
"Destiny Khan...... The future of the Chahar Department is all counting on the Mandate of Heaven Khan......"
"Since Ben Khan has taken over the Chahar Ministry, he will think about the future of the Chahar Ministry, and Ben Khan also hopes that the Chahar Ministry will gradually grow and re-enter the ranks of the great Mongolian tribes," Li Zicheng threw out a bait with a hook, "However, when the Mongols are strong, they will plunder the Han people, which is definitely not a good thing for the Han people......
"No, as long as the Mandate of Heaven Khan can make the Chahar Department grow stronger, the Chahar Department will always live in harmony with the Han people, and the villain can swear a poisonous oath," Erdemutu just saw a little bait, regardless of whether the bait is thorny or not, "The enemy of the Chahar Department will always be the Jurchens, and the Great Khan said when he was alive that the Jurchens are the feud of the Mongols......"
If the Mongols' oaths are done accurately, then the sow can also go up the tree, and the yellow dog can also plough the land, these oaths should be kept to coax the children, Li Zicheng stretched out his hand to stop Erdemutu's words, "What Ben Khan saw, on the contrary, from Ye first to Yan Khan, which time the Mongols rose, was not accompanied by a large number of Han bloodstains?" You can also see that a large number of Mongolian tribes are taking refuge in the Jurchens, who are the feud of the Mongols......"
ββ¦β¦β
"Maybe it's not the fault of the Mongols, for example, this big grass beach, now the water and grass are abundant, the Mongolian herdsmen can live in peace and tranquility, if there is a great drought, the river is cut off, the grass dies, where will the Mongols go?" Li Zicheng looked at Erdemutu, "In that situation, can you still guarantee that the Mongol cavalry will not plunder the nearby Han Chinese?" β
Erdemutu was speechless, this kind of life, he was too familiar with it, if the Mongols lacked food and clothing, they had always passed on the disaster to the surrounding people, whether it was a small tribe of Han or Mongols, so that the Mongols would stop plundering for a vow, unless the river flowed backwards and the red sun rose in the west......
Li Zicheng said it politely just now, in fact, even if the Mongols have enough food and clothing, they will not stop plundering, who would dislike their cattle, sheep, tents, and women too much......
This Li Zicheng, I'm afraid he has seen through the nature of the Mongols!
"Can Destiny Khan solve these problems? Why didn't the Han people have the problem of looting? β
"All problems can be solved, and the Chahar Department can rise and grow," Li Zicheng said loudly: "The problem is that the rise of the Chahar Department cannot harm the interests of the Han people, if the rise of the Chahar Department is a disaster for the Han people, Ben Khan will definitely not sit and inspect the rise of the Chahar Department, as you say!" By the way, if it weren't for Ben Khan, sooner or later the Chahar would have been annexed by the Jurchens. β
"Annexation?" Erdemutu was unconsciously confused by Li Zicheng, the Chahar tribe was wiped out, and it would not take refuge in the Jurchens, how could it be annexed by the Jurchens?
"Dacaotan and Datong Mountain, both of which are the pastures of the Chahar Department temporarily borrowed by the Mandate of Heaven, if the Chahar Department is strong, it will rebel against the Han people, then we will take back these two pastures, as for the people of the Chahar Department, it is a matter for the Mongols, and it has nothing to do with us......
Erdemutu then remembered that these two pastures were indeed given to the Chahar Department by the Han people, but the Mongols were used to it, so they regarded them as their own pastures.
He had just raised a little hope, but he didn't expect to be poured cold water on Li Zicheng so soon, and he was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "The Mandate of Heaven Khan has taken over the Chahar Ministry, you can't care about the life and death of the Chahar Ministry, you can't ignore your own people......"
"People?" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "I don't know who Ben Khan's people are, this time Ben Khan took over the Chahar Department, it seems that there are still people who are not convinced and want to drive Ben Khan out......"
"Who dare?" Erdemutu leaned forward, almost lying on the square table, his eyes were wide open, his hands were clenched into fists, and he wanted to cut off those unopened Mongols in two......
Li Zicheng laughed and said: "When Erdemutu said this, Ben Khan remembered that when he lent Dacaustan and Datong Mountain to the Chahar Ministry, Ben Khan and Hutuketu Khan had an agreement, and all the subordinates of the Chahar Ministry, including Hutuketu Khan himself, had to obey Ben Khan!" β
