The beggars elect the Khan

Temujin took the oath in place

The year 1189 is an extraordinary year for the Chinese nation.

The hinterland of the Central Plains. Just after the Spring Festival, the cold wind is blowing. Sixty-seven-year-old Jin Shizong Wan Yan Yong died his life, and his twenty-one-year-old grandson Wan Yan Jing succeeded to the throne in front of the coffin on the same day, known as Zhang Zong. Wan Yanjing likes literature and advocates elegance, so for a time there were endless celebrities, most of the ruling ministers had literary brilliance and learning, and capable officials and upright ministers were appointed, and the politics were clear and the culture was brilliant. The feudalization of Jurchen society was finally completed, which was the most prosperous period of the Jin Dynasty, with a developed economy, a growing population, a full treasury, and a rich world.

Jiangnan Water Town. In early spring and February, Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty was tired of the government and ceded the throne to his only surviving son, Zhao Dan, who was not only unfilial and afraid of guilt, but also a fool, and after more than five years, he was thrown aside by his subjects as a stinky rag. Twenty-six-year-old Zhao Kuo has since ascended the throne and sat in the palace.

Northern Desert. In the upper reaches of the Krenlu River, spring returns to the land, pastures grow vigorously, and wildflowers are fragrant everywhere. An earth-shattering figure stood up.

This person is a heroic man in the history of the Chinese nation who shocked the Eurasian continent, named Temujin, and later known as Genghis Khan.

In this year, Temujin was only twenty-seven years old, and with his courage and tact, he made the tribe of beggars strong again, and the princes and nobles of Altan, Kuchaer, and Takchabeg elected him as the tribal khan. The Qiyan tribe is the most primitive tribe of the Mongolian people, with many branch families, and there are only a few surnames that really belong to the "golden family", namely the Zhu'er Qi clan, the Tai Chi Wu clan, and the Er Zhijin clan. Temujin belonged to the Sons of the Jin clan, a family that had been glorious for hundreds of years, since his ancestors, the tribe was divided among the tribes, and fifty years later, the tribal khanate returned to the Sons of Jin.

On behalf of the Prince, the leading prince, Altan, announced the results to all the clansmen:

By the will of the Immortal Heaven and the hope of all the princes, we have elected Temujin as the king of the tribe, and from now on, Temujin will be the master of our beggars, and we will always embrace it and will never rebel.

Temujin stood gratefully and thanked the kings and his people who had elected and embraced him:

You did not hesitate to leave Zamuhe to accompany me, and now you recognize me as the Great Khan, and my heart is full of gratitude, and I will rely on your sincere protection in the future. From now on, you will be my important ministers, the founding fathers of the empire, and I will be like a wolf with you, galloping through the steppe, pacifying the world, working for the benefit of the Mongols, and allowing the people to live a prosperous and happy life.

After a long time of conquest, the young and strong Temujin has grown from a hundred thousand herdsmen in the steppe to a brave king Khan, standing in the bright sunshine, with an extraordinary bearing, there is an innate majesty and demeanor, and his eyes are shining with a terrifying light, like a god descending from the earth, people can't help but have infinite respect, and there is reason to believe that he will command the warriors of the Qiyan tribe, charge into battle, conquer other tribes, and become the sun that never sets on the grassland.

The grassland people have black cars and white tents, grazing with water and grass, and are called the people with felt skirts. Their enthronement of the Khan could not be in the splendid palace, only in the steppe, by the testimony of heaven and earth, and the oath of all the peoples.

Temujin dressed in brocade and embroidered clothes sat on a fur felt carpet that symbolized authority, showing the majesty of a commander and the kindness of a king.

Prince Altan led his men to take the oath:

Great Khan Temujin, we are at your call and at your disposal anytime and anywhere, and we will fight for you at the cost of our lives. The robbed beauties are all dedicated to you, and the raids are handed over to you, and when you hunt wild bears, they are driven to you for you to shoot, and if you disobey your orders when you fight on the battlefield, you will be wiped out of my nine blood relatives, and my head will roll into the wilderness and be eaten by the eagle!

Temujin held the king's scepter in his hand, looked down at the surrendering crowd, and spoke in a high-pitched voice:

If you make me king today, I, Temujin, will live up to expectations and charge into battle for the beggars! The gods testify that I, Temujin, with the dignity of the Golden Family, will never again let you live a life of hunting and plundering, and will lead you to unify the steppes and establish a stable and steady kingdom in the wilderness, so that Nayan, Nakir, Harachu, and all the people will never have to worry about being killed and whipped, nor will they have to fear wandering and being homeless.

The vow was made so popular that the people bowed and bowed, kneeling and cheering: Temujin! Temujin! Temujin! Temujin!

After ascending to the throne, Temujin became even busier. First, the princes and nobles were given lands and official positions, and then four warriors were chosen to be guarded by bows and arrows to guard the tent at their disposal. He appointed his brothers as builders, horse herders, logisticians, temple officers, and hunting officers, and so on.

Temujin entrusted him with the important task of being the chief of the people, when I was alone and had no companions, and you supported me like a goat, and became my shadow and loyal answer, and I am full of gratitude, and I ask you to be the head of a thousand households, and help me unify the steppe and build an empire much larger than Jin!

The two of them were busy receiving orders to kneel and bow down:

Great Khan Temujin, thank you for your trust, you are the emperor sent by the Immortal Heaven, the supreme hero of the steppe, and the god of our guidance. From now on, we are willing to be your loyal and loyal servant forever, resisting hardships and dangers for you, charging into battle, and never giving up. In other days, if he disobeys, he will be beheaded in a different place, and he will die without a place to be buried.

When everything was in order, Temujin sent a knight to inform the other tribes of the steppe. This is an unwritten rule on the steppe, once the new khan ascends the throne, the khans of the tribes must be notified, first, to show respect for the leaders of other tribes, and second, to use the authority of the new khan to warn the ambitious people, this king is in place, my territory is my master, do not disturb without permission.

The tribal leaders who received the letter of Temujin's report had different mentalities, and the heart of Zamuhe, the Khan of the Zatalan tribe, was rolling: I, Anda Temujin, am not mortals, give him a wooden stick, and he can pry up the entire Yin Mountain, and he is like an eagle roaming in space, hunting his prey everywhere. From now on, there will be no peace in the grasslands. Now the business is to take advantage of his unstable foothold and strangle him, otherwise, one day, either you will take the initiative to submit and surrender, or you will become a ghost under his sword.

After several plans, Zamuhe decided to take action and take the initiative. Taking advantage of the fact that Temujin and his beggar tribe were not firmly established, they were annihilated and strangled in one fell swoop.
