Destroy old enemies with a golden hand

Growing stronger and more proud

Defeating the Tatars was Temujin's long-standing wish.

After the Battle of the Thirteen Wings, the Mongol Qiyan tribe grew stronger. On that day, Temujin was discussing matters in the big tent of Han'erduo, and his mother, Ha Erlun, suddenly broke in and asked Temujin in a loud voice:

"Do you remember the last words your Abba left you?"

Temujin replied: "Of course, I remember that before Aba died, he instructed Munlik: Please tell Temujin that you must avenge me." I also know that my ancestor Baba was also betrayed by the Tatars and crucified on a wooden donkey. ”

Hebul was the first khan of the Mongol nation. The so-called Khan is the head of many families. He was the great-grandfather of Temujin, and the Baba was the younger brother and successor of Hebul.

Legend has it that the baby has a bear on his back and is more powerful than others.

The Tatars are also an ancient people, living in a vast area from the mouth of the Krulunkolian Lake, the valley of the Uersanwen River to the Hung Yen Mountains.

Their ancestors were pure Mongols. Tatar shamans are very famous, and when the wife and brother of the Mongol Habul Khan were bedridden, Hebul Khan sent someone to ask the Tatar shaman to heal him. However, the patient was so ill that no matter how much the wizard chanted a spell, he could not prevent the Grim Reaper from descending.

When his wife and brother died, his relatives suspected that the sorcerer had bad intentions, and they sent men to catch up with him, and killed him.

When the Tatars found out, they were very angry and hated the beggars' revenge, so they came to avenge their sorcerer. Hebul's sons immediately led their troops to the aid and started a fight with the Tatars.

At this time, Wan Yanxiang, the general of the Jin Dynasty, was also concerned about the battle situation between the two sides and decided to support the Tatars. In this way, the Jurchens united with the Tatars against the Mongols, thus putting the young Mongol kingdom to the test.

When he was in power, he tried to dispel the hatred of the Tatars against the Mongols and turn hostility into good neighborliness. He is willing to marry the Tatars and marry his beloved daughter to the head of the Tatar Ayili Vulti tribe. With the heart of a gentleman, I decided to send my daughter to marry in person. However, the hatred of the Tatars towards the Mongols did not disappear in the slightest. As soon as the father and daughter arrived, the Tatar main forces immediately ambushed them, took them captive, and escorted the Baba Khan to Ginting.

Ginting gritted his teeth with hatred for the Mongols' previous plundering, and now how could he let go of the opportunity for revenge? They nailed the Khan to the donkey's back, and caused him to die. The eldest son of Ghabl Khan, Khampa Ghahei, was also punished in the same way.

At that time, after the arrest of the Baba Khan, he managed to send someone to tell his son Khutu to assassinate: "I, the supreme leader of the Mongols, have sent my daughter to the Tatar tribe and have been captured by the Tatars. Thou shalt take me as a warning. At this time, even if you bend your bow and polish all the ten fingers of your hand, you should also swear to avenge this! ”

Before he took his last breath, he said to the lord of gold, "I have many sons and nephews, and if you kill me, you will surely suffer a cruel revenge." ”

Temujin's father's name was Yesugai, and he was a general of the beggar tribe who was given the title of "Zha Bald" (warrior). He was both wise and courageous, and led his troops to defeat the Mierti and Tatars. He helped the Deheilul of the Kereb defeat his uncle and take the throne, and from then on, the Kereb became an ally of the beggars.

When Temujin was nine years old, he should have taken him to Hongjirabu and prepared to set up a family affair for him. In the house of the tribal chief Xue Dechan, he also fell in love with the daughter of the Xue family, so he left his son and left alone.

I didn't expect to run into a Tatar banquet. The Mongols have an unwritten custom that if you are on the way, you see someone holding a banquet, not only do you not go to it, but you also take a detour, which belongs to banditry. If you go to a banquet, the host will not only not drive you away, but will also treat you very hospitablely.

At the banquet, he met the enemy's son, who took the opportunity to poison the mare's milk wine, which he was supposed to drink. After drinking the poisonous wine, he forced himself back home.

In the latter part of the twelfth century, in the vast Mongolian steppes, among the nomads, looting and killing often occurred. Here's how people describe it:

The starry sky rotates, the earth rolls, and the world is in chaos; If you can't lie down, you fight for me, and the world is in chaos; You fight for me, rob goods, turn the grass upside down, all the tribes are reversed, you can't stay, you attack me; When there is no thought, there is only collision with each other, there is no place to hide, and they all attack each other-----

Later, the appetite of the Tatars grew, and even the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin found it difficult to satisfy them. Once, the Kingdom of Jin united with the Tatars to plunder two small tribes. After the victory, the Tatars disliked the small amount of spoils they had given them, and turned around and ransacked the army sent by the Jin State. The Emperor of Jin was furious. Therefore, he immediately remobilized his men and horses, and the prime minister Wan Yanxiang personally launched an attack on the Tatars.

At this time, the Tatars, gathered near the fishing Haizi, had grown to 70,000 people, divided into six tribes. Among them, the Bald Black Vital Ti was the leader, and the monarch was determined to defend the honor of the Tatars and refused to submit to the Jin army.

Wan Yanxiang deserves to be known as the famous general of Jin, and his strategic layout is clear and clear: on the one hand, he personally led the main army to inflict heavy losses on the Tatars, forcing them to leave their old camp and flee to the area where the upper reaches of the Khulun River meet the Nan River; On the one hand, he wrote a letter and sent an envoy to find the newly rising Temujin of the Mongol tribe, and persuaded him to send troops to surround the Tatars and annihilate them in one fell swoop.

Jin Guo has already suffered enough from the Tatars, and in comparison, Temujin, who has just formed his own strength, is much easier to control than to get rid of his neighbors! As for the problem of insufficient troops, Wan Yanxiang is not worried. No one in the steppe knew about his relationship with the Tatars, and as long as Temujin agreed to wage war against the Tatars, he would have a way to seek support from the Tatars.

Wanyanxiang's envoy was still on the way, and Temujin also learned that the Tatars and the Jin Kingdom had turned their backs and had been defeated in the first war.

At this moment, the Jin State invited him to send troops to help, and he pushed the boat down the river, in the name of "avenging his ancestors' father", recruited his subordinates, united with Wang Han of the Kereh Department, and surrounded and suppressed the Tatar Department with the three-way army.

The Jin army suffered heavy losses, and Qiyan and Kelie intercepted it. Outnumbered, the Tatars were overwhelmed on the south bank of the Uriza River, and were so defeated that they were arrested and publicly executed.

The war was completely victorious, and the Mongols presented all the gold, silver and jewels they had plundered to the Golden Court, and the commander of the Jin army was triumphant. In the Jin Dynasty, the king of the Kereh tribe, Hanto, was made king of the steppe, and Temujin was given the post of Zawu Tihuli.

As the military commander of the Jin Dynasty, Temujin was not satisfied. He asked his generals:

What is the greatest pleasure of a lifetime for a man?

Borshu said: In the early spring, with a plump gray eagle, riding a horse that travels thousands of miles a day, hunting on the grassland, this is a man's pleasure.

Mu Huali replied: The happiest thing for me is to release the eagle harrier and let it take away the gray crane in the air with its sharp claws.

Subutai believes that the happiness of a man is to put on gorgeous clothes, eat meat in large pieces, and drink wine in large bowls.

Temujin waved his hand: These are not unusual, it seems to me that to suppress the rebels, to defeat the strong enemy, to uproot them, to take everything they have, to make their wives and children weep bitterly, to step on their horses with smooth backs, to use their beautiful concubines' bellies as pajamas and mattresses, to kiss their rosy cheeks, to suck their ** and sweet lips, this is the greatest joy of a man's life.
