Section 98 Reincarnation
When the Erji Lama arrived at the Great Commander's Mansion before dark, Li Yu had been dragged back by Ortai, and was sitting in the hall under the watchful eye of the officials of the Great Commander's Palace.
When Li Yu saw the old lama, he immediately knelt in front of him and cried loudly, the old lama waved his hand to signal Ortai and the others to retreat, and then took Li Yu in his arms and whispered: "Child, this is not your fault, you have done your best, there will be a plague on the grassland every few years, since last year there has been famine and war here, this year's plague is more fierce than in previous years, this is retribution!" You have become a family, you can no longer be like in the past, you must be stronger, the people of Tumut Chuan can't do without you, you think about it, we have Tumut people here, Bansheng Han people, and now there are tens of thousands of Chahar people, they trust you and support you, all the people have come together because of you, with these people Tumut Chuan has hope, you don't do it, what should they do? The grassland is already a piece of erosion, where can they live? ”
The old lama continued: "The lamas of Tumut River have all supported you, and the lamas of Karaqin and Ordos have also sent people to Meidai to call for contact, expressing their willingness to support you, and our 30,000 Mongolians on the right wing have new hope because of you, and we have also sent you twenty carts of grain and one thousand taels of silver, there are so many people who are willing to help you, all disasters will pass, son, be brave, you are the invincible Humbatulu, you must bring hope to those who trust you." ”
Under the loving persuasion of the old lama, Li Yu wiped away his tears and regained confidence in his heart, at this time there was a noise outside, Ortai came in quietly, glanced at Li Yu and said: "The news that this bastard boy plans to get rid of the stall has spread, and the common people have run to the Grand Commander's Mansion to see this kid and see what you have done!" ”
"Elm, face the people who embrace you, and remember, you must bring them hope." The Lama Yuerji picked up Li Yu and walked out.
The news that Li Yu was not the Grand Commander spread all over the Barbarian Mountain in broad daylight, and also spread to the surrounding guards, and immediately set off waves, people couldn't believe that this news would be true, the difficult years of the Barbarian Mountain have made them more and more dependent on Li Yu, they really believe that only Li Yu can let them live, and the Han people of Bansheng think that Li Yu is the same Han people who have been exiled to the outside of the Saiwai like them, The Tumuts think that Li Yu is the Mongolian Humbaturu who rescues the suffering on the steppe, the Chahar people think that only Li Yu will take them in these poor Chahar people, and the Ming army is even more afraid, if Li Yu is gone, will the fierce Mongols take them as slaves, people can no longer be silent, they are pouring in from all directions, they must not lose Li Yu, they want to use their actions to tell everyone that in this land, only Li Yu is a worthy leader, and others do not want Li Yu to leave them, Even Li Yu himself didn't want to abandon them.
When Li Yu appeared in front of everyone accompanied by the Qierji Lama and the officials of the Great Commander's Office, the crowd immediately broke out into huge cheers, "Hung Batulu, Great Commander", "Hung Batulu, Great Commander" shouted higher than a burst of resounding in the night sky, Li Yu looked at the people who supported him and cheered wildly, there were tens of thousands of people, there were Tumut people, Chahar people, Bansheng Han people and even a large group of Ming troops led by Bai Xianzhi and Zhang Chuanjie mixed in, and he even unexpectedly saw Fan Yongdou, Fan Erxi and Zhang Shi'an also shouted and squeezed to the front, Li Yu's eyes couldn't help but moisten, he kept waving to everyone, but he couldn't say a word.
"The people of Tumut Chuan, Humbaturu is still your great commander, he will never abandon you, the disaster will eventually pass, wipe away your tears, follow your Humba Tulu, rebuild your homeland, Tumut River still has hope!" Seeing that Li Yu was still stupid, the Qierji Lama stepped forward and shouted loudly to the people, and another warm cheer sounded, the old lama and several lamas behind him glanced at each other, they were going to take a heavier dose of fierce medicine, the old lama cleared his throat, and solemnly said to everyone, "Meidaizhao held an important **** a few days ago, and the great lamas of Tumut, Karaqin and the most Buddhist monasteries in Ordos participated, and we confirmed a fact, This is a major event concerning the survival and decline of our Mongolian right-wing units, and we must tell you. ”
The old lama took a step back and pointed at Li Yu and said to everyone: "He gathered the suffering and homeless people on the grassland to survive, he recovered most of the Tumut River and made the people return to their homeland, he shared weal and woe with the people and twisted everyone into a force to tide over the difficulties, who is he?" ”
"Humba Tulu!" The people replied with one voice.
"He is not only Humbaturu, when he came to Meidai last year, he accurately recognized the clothes and swords used by Altan Khan during his lifetime, and also pulled out the hard bow used by Altan Khan, he also recognized the objects used by Mrs. Zhongjin, and called Mrs. Zhongjin's milk name 'Three Niangzi', and the lamas confirmed that he was the reincarnation of Altan Khan, and the Buddha took pity on the suffering beings and sent Altan Khan to reincarnate as Humbaturu to save the people on the steppe." The old lama raised Li Yu's hand and shouted, "He is the reincarnation of Altan Khan." ”
Li Yu's face turned pale with fright, he confirmed the relics of Altan Khan and Lady Zhongjin stored by Meidaizhao, but these things Ulan and Batu didn't know how many times they had told him, if he couldn't guess what he saw things, he would be really stupid, Li Yu just wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, Batu covered his mouth, Ortai glanced at the people around him, and quickly knelt down at Li Yu's feet with Namur, Ulan and others, the Tumuts first panicked, and then knelt down together with cheers, the gods and Buddhas did not forget them, The great and benevolent Altan Khan returned to the Tumut River.
But there is a huge loophole in their tricks, the Tumuts have fallen down, the Bansheng Han people want to give their neighbors face, it doesn't matter to them whether Li Yu is the reincarnation of Altan Khan, they bow down to the Han leaders outside the Saiwai, but the Chahar people are a little messy, they can support Li Yu, but the Altan Khan of Tumut is the culprit who drove their ancestors to leave their homeland and suffer outside the eastern border of Liaodong, they can't accept the statement that Li Yu is the reincarnation of Altan Khan, and the old lama can't wait to give himself a slap at this time, The Yellow Sect lamas of the right-wing departments took advantage of this to support Li Yu against the Red Sect forces and the strategy of Chahar Khan, how could they have missed this group of Chahars, this strategy was about to smash the pot, and if it was not done well, it would lay the bane of internal strife in the future.
"O Dayan Khan, the great god of martial arts! Your soul is attached to your wisest and bravest grandson, Altan Khan, and together you will be reincarnated on earth to save the suffering Mongols, may you be auspicious! Wu Langha suddenly came out, screamed and knelt down in front of Li Yu, and the Chahars who had been her slaves before followed and bowed down, Yun Rong immediately reacted and shouted, "Dayan Khan has been reincarnated, and the Chahars and all the suffering Mongols have been saved!" Bowing to the ground, the Chahar people understood that Li Yu was not only the reincarnation of Altan Khan, but also the reincarnation of Dayan Khan's soul, which they fully accepted, the Chahar people knelt down with tears, and the old lama breathed a sigh of relief, this Wu Lang Hahatun was smart enough to finally help him fill the loophole, but what made him cry and laugh was a reincarnation plan, so that Altan Khan's grandfather, Chahar Khan's ancestor Dayan Khan, was also involved.
The Mongols bowed down, Fan Yongdou, Fan Erxi and Zhang Shi'an, these businessmen have always been thick-skinned, whoever can make them rich can worship whomever they want, seeing that the people around them knelt down, they also joined in the fun, and after hesitating for a while, they immediately gave Li Yu a face and knelt down. Bai Xianzhi and Zhang Chuanjie were the most embarrassed for the Ming army, the Yi soldiers among them knelt down without hesitation, but the Han soldiers seemed at a loss, Zhang Chuanjie muttered in a low voice, this Li Yuzi has also learned to pretend to be a ghost, and he has to lie here stupidly, and he has to settle accounts with him when he turns around, but Bai Xianzhi sat on the ground, pulled Zhang Chuanjie hard, and scolded in a low voice: "Are you stupid?" What is this situation, do you want to be stabbed? Don't make trouble for Lao Tzu, just sit down or squat. ”
The black crowd fell to their knees, people's heads were buried deeply, and they didn't dare to look up, Li Yu couldn't help but fight a cold war, he didn't know how he became the reincarnation of Altan Khan, but he knew that he definitely had nothing to do with the steppe lord. Everything in front of him made him feel lonely and frightened, he always hated to kneel and kowtow to others, when he was in the Jin Kingdom, he was known for his salutation, others said that he was a savage who did not understand etiquette and did not care about him, but he himself understood that it was because he did not want to kneel down to anyone at all, and every time he bent his knees, he had a feeling of being insulted, and he did not want others to suffer this feeling because of himself.
Li Yu silently walked to the front of the crowd, sighed, pulled up Fan Yongdou, who was kneeling on the ground, and said softly: "I am very happy that you have come to Barbarian Mountain at this time, I remember this love, and we will have a hug ceremony between brothers in the future." Li Yu and Fan Yongdou hugged together, and then hugged Fan Erxi and Zhang Shi'an, and Fan Yongdou and others, who had buried their heads in their hippie smiles just now, suddenly had a heat wave rushing to their hearts, and their eyes couldn't help but turn red.
Li Yu walked in front of Bai Xianzhi and Zhang Chuanjie, these people were the most funny, some were sitting, some were squatting, and a few were lying on the ground, Li Yu smiled and said: "Lao Bai, Lao Zhang, don't pretend, if you want to be a brother with me, stand up, if you don't want to, just continue to stay on the ground." ”
"You stinky boy, you are a tossing brother." Bai Xianzhi stood up with a smile and hugged Li Yu, and Zhang Chuanjie took the opportunity to punch Li Yu when he hugged Li Yu.
Li Yu returned to the crowd, pulled up Ulan, Wulangha, Ortai, Batu, Namur and others one by one, and said loudly to everyone: "I know who I am, I live by hunting, grazing, and farming like you, the land of Fengzhou feeds us, this is our own homeland, in this homeland there are no nobles such as Taiji and Nuoyan, Tumut, Chahar, Bansheng Han, and those Ming scholars, soldiers, merchants, and craftsmen who come to us, we work together and guard our homeland together, All people are brothers and sisters, all people here should get along equally, no one has the right to bully their brothers and sisters, Fengzhou has been difficult all the way to today, many brothers and sisters have left us, the living people should respect each other and support each other, we only have the hope of surviving the difficulties and rebuilding their homes only if we twist into a force, from today all people in Fengzhou are equal, and treat each other with the Han etiquette of hugging and hugging fists, Fengzhou people should straighten their waists and be a man, and do not kneel to anyone, whether he is a friend, Or the enemy, the kneeling salute is abolished from now on! ”
"The Great Commander Shengming is merciful, may the Great Commander be auspicious!" Li Fugui hated kneeling as much as Li Yu, and immediately shouted at the top of his voice, Ortai had Li Yu to make a mistake again, he had always treated Li Yu as a nephew, and it was indeed a little difficult for him to kneel for Li Yu, but he couldn't easily abolish the big gift, he also expected others to kneel for him, but Li Huai, Yunrong, Zhao Ji, Batu and Namur, these young people were already applauding, and he had no choice but to shout, and everyone in the audience was confused and cheered in unison, "The Great Commander Shengming is merciful, may the Great Commander be auspicious!" ”
The personnel of Fengzhou are too complicated, there are contradictions between various ethnic groups and tribes in the past, and the kneeling ceremony has actually become an obstacle to the integration of Fengzhou, and the reason why nothing happened in the past is that Li Yu has never taken it seriously in etiquette, and he grabbed everyone and hugged him, Li Huai, Yunrong and others felt that kneeling and bowing was a ** annoyance, and it was best to disappear.
The news that the Grand Commander was the reincarnation of Altan Khan quickly spread throughout Fengzhou, and the people of Fengzhou seemed to have taken a dose of tonic medicine, and their spirits were immediately lifted, and then the orders of the Great Commander's Mansion came down one after another:
The people of the 1,000 and 100 households must return to their stations on the same day to stick to their posts, resist the plague, carry out spring ploughing, and grasp both hands and be hard with both hands, and all officials who leave their posts without permission and are passive and slack off will be dismissed on the spot, Ortai viciously warned the officials that Altan Khan has been reincarnated, which shows that Tengri is watching us, who dares to oppress the good, steal and play tricks, eat more and occupy more, and can not escape the punishment of heaven even if he can escape his whip.
Fight drought, make full use of the role of canals and water cellars, ensure water for irrigation and livestock, a variety of sorghum and maize, and use all available land to plant potatoes.
Saving every grain of food, working together to tide over the difficulties, Li Huai taught everyone step by step, the sick should be isolated, the hands should be washed when eating, the water should be boiled, the toilet should be repaired to prohibit open defecation, and it is forbidden to hunt gray squirrels, silver rats and other rodents - he heard the old people say that this plague is related to the people on the grassland eating rodents, and quickly issued a hunting ban.
Carrying forward the spirit of the Manhan Mountain, which is particularly able to endure hardships and work, the men go to the fields to plough the fields and graze, the women and children go up the mountains to collect, and the old and weak take care of the sick.
The Great Commander's Mansion worked all night, everyone tensed their nerves to deal with the current crisis, the Lama Erji refused to be idle, and took the Lama to the fire to chant the scriptures day and night, and manipulated the souls of the dead, the two ladies of Wulan and Wu Langha, regardless of the danger of contracting the plague, inspected the health centers on behalf of the Great Commander Li Yu, called on the people to wipe away their tears, and went all out to devote themselves to the action of fighting the epidemic, fighting drought and protecting spring ploughing, Bai Xianzhi and Zhang Chuanjie also felt that they could not stand idly by, and took the initiative to receive the task at the Great Commander's Mansion. So the Ming army of the two and the Fengzhou soldiers of Zhao Ji took on the task of probing the military situation and blocking the road together.
The Grand Commander's Mansion has three new young people, Li Huai, Yunrong and Batu, who have added vitality to Li Yu's grass platform team, improved its effectiveness, and unimpeded government decrees. Fan Yongdou came back in a very timely manner, and Lao Fan shouted when he entered the Great Commander's Mansion: "Great Commander, now you know who your friends are, my old Fan has always regarded the affairs of his friends as his own affairs, and I ran here when I heard that something happened in Fengzhou, fortunately, it is the right time to come, and the grain is not much to two hundred stones, I wanted to invite a few Lang Zhong to come, but no one dared to come, I heard that the plague in Fengzhou and the Guannei' The symptoms of pimple disease are similar, they are all red pimples first, and then the whole body ulcerates and dies, and the customs use the method of clearing heat and detoxifying this disease to deal with this disease, I brought two carts of rhubarb and other medicinal materials over, how to use medicine You find Lang Zhongding in Fengzhou. ”
Fan Yongdou was really ruthless this time, Fan Erxi went to Guannei to find him and told him about the situation in Fengzhou, his gang of Zhangjiakou profiteers were frightened, everyone was unwilling to go to Fengzhou to find death, Lao Fan hesitated for a few days and then made up his mind, this is the truth he has understood since he was a child, Fengzhou's products and the trade routes extending in all directions make him salivate, he must eat this piece of fat in his mouth, but there is a March in front of him in the way, he must squeeze the old horse aside, but Lao Fan is not stupid, he has to wait for the opportunity, He understood that the most fierce time of the plague was the beginning of the month, he wanted to find the epidemic to weaken before betting on this, this time finally came, when he heard that Ma Qi hiding in Xinping Fort was also about to move, he immediately pulled up Zhang Shi'an, who was secretly selling illicit salt in the pass, relying on Zhang Shi'an's identity as a Jinyi guard to get out of the customs smoothly, and rushed to the Manhan Mountain at the fastest speed, this treasure made him bet, in the years to come, he has always been fully trusted by the people of Fengzhou.
Fan Yongdou arrived four or five days later, Ma Qi and Fang Zhikun ran back, Ma Qi was reluctant to his career in Fengzhou after all, he was an ambitious person, never willing to be a small businessman, he wanted to make a fortune and wanted to be a big official, Fengzhou gave him the opportunity to take charge of himself and make waves, he didn't want to escape, but Fang Zhikun's courage was too small, and he dragged him to Sun Garrison in Xinpingbao, until the momentum of the plague weakened and slipped back, the Great Commander's Mansion welcomed them to come back, and didn't say a word of blame, But when Ma Qi saw that Fan Yongdou was already sitting in the Great Commander's Mansion and pointing fingers, and there were triumphant Zhang Shi'an and Fan Erxi behind him, he understood that he had to start from scratch.
