Chapter 39 The decision to build a city
Yiruohu's bribery was not without effect, and the resolution between Khalkani and Erek was told to Yiruohu that day, and Yiruohu couldn't help but fight a cold war after hearing it. www.biquge.info He also hoped that he could have a good son-in-law to support him, but he didn't expect that before he could support him, this Hechi Ti was about to be broken by Khalkani. Yiruo immediately informed the Hechiti Ministry of Hechiti and his in-laws, Alert, and the matter was so important that Alette had to consult with all the nobles.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Hechiti tribe, noble chiefs of Alet. The villain was ordered by my master to come and report the news. "The righteous house slave risked his life to come and tell everyone about such a big matter, and Alert got up and thanked him back!
The slave also said, "Leader of Alet! The Great Khan of Erek consulted with the Khalkani to let his uncle enter the account as a hostage, and if he did not agree, he would come to invite them in person. ”
What the? This is very obvious, to let the son of the Hechi Ti tribe, Bourhan, be held hostage? Burhan was not just the heir to the future leader of the Hechiti tribe, his importance was now apparent. Everyone understood Khalkani's sinister intentions, and he wanted to use Burhan as a hostage to blackmail the Chiti tribe, because he knew that the Hechiti tribe could not give up Burhan, and it was impossible to give up.
As soon as he heard this, Kari couldn't bear it anymore, and he got up and said, "What? He's going to come and ask for someone? I am not muddy. If he dares to come, I will meet him with a saber. ”
Kali's words are also the voice of most of the nobles of the Hechi Ti tribe, who have never been afraid of war, but just to see if it makes sense.
Alert is very hesitant in his heart, he has already sacrificed for his son's marriage, if he is allowed to enter the account as a hostage, and does not say whether he is willing or not, even his wife Yang Caini will not be able to pass this hurdle. Besides, if Burhan is not taken hostage, then the foundation of the Hechiti tribe for decades will be ruined.
At this time, someone whispered, "Why don't we go to the Turghut Department?" We're still nominally vassals of theirs! ”
"The Turks? Hum! Wu Rizhao snorted coldly and said, "Last winter, I'm afraid that Orleke was already going to hate us to death, right?" What's more, do you know how much energy we spent trying to get rid of this vassal title? Throw yourself into their disciples again, and Orlek will definitely not give us a chance to get out, and he will eat the scum of the Hechiti tribe to the ground. ”
After Wu Rizhao finished speaking, everyone fell silent. In order to get rid of the control of the Turk Special Department, several generations of Hechiti people have worked hard to continuously increase their strength, so that there is a situation where they are now listening to the tune and not listening to the propaganda. If you throw yourself into the door again, as Wu Rizhao said, if you want to get rid of it again, it is tantamount to a fool's dream.
"So what do you say? I can't beat it, I can't help it! The prince of Burhan is in the account as a hostage, and unless I give up the son, I will also be a vassal of others! It's just a change of master. As soon as Kali finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, and he didn't mean that, so he quickly corrected "When... Of course, it is impossible for us to give up the prince of Burhan. ”
Burhan knew in his heart that all this was caused by himself. He never thought that the matter of "being innocent and guilty" would be played out in his own tribe. Originally, there was not much attention, but this matter was facilitated by Khalkani, which had to be brought to people's attention. Because he knew that Khalkani might be for the sake of his godson Haslon, and asking Burhan as a hostage was just a pretext, and at a deeper level, he took the opportunity to tear a piece of meat off the fat of the Hechi Tibu.
The whole tent fell into silence, and the atmosphere became more and more solemn. At this moment, Alert can't express any opinions, although he is extremely reluctant, but his personal feelings can't be expressed, maybe this is the helplessness of being a leader, right? He looked at Burhan in the hope that he would see that the ancestral inheritance handed down from the time of the old Khan would not be destroyed, and that the people of the Hechiti tribe would be saved from the flames of war, and that he would stand up and take the initiative as hostages, a sacrifice that now seemed necessary.
Burhan also knows what his father is thinking now, in fact, there is no threat to his life as a hostage, as long as the Tushetu Khan is not arrogant to Lao Tzu is the first in the world, he will not dare to do anything to Burhan, but suffering is necessary. Burhan was ready to pay for the poor thought out.
When he was about to stand up, Liu Dingchen next to him grabbed him, walked to the center and saluted respectfully and said, "Honorable Leader Alert, all the nobles of the Hechiti Division, Liu is polite." ”
Originally, Liu Dingchen was not qualified to participate in the tribal meeting, but he is now the counselor of the Burhan China Guard, and Burhan also brought him to see him, and other nobles have also seen him, and they all think that he is the staff of Gongzi Burhan.
He said, "Actually, this matter is very easy, there is no need for the prince of Bohan to be a hostage, only need to pay some price." ”
"Oh?" Alert was very anxious about this, and he hurriedly asked, "Sir, does you have a good plan?" As long as I can prevent my son from being held hostage, I am willing to pay whatever the price. ”
Other nobles also said that as long as the son is fine, even if the clan's public property is not enough, they are willing to take out their treasures. Liu Dingchen was deeply surprised by this, among the Mongolian tribes, there are few heirs as beloved by the nobility as Burhan, and most of the tribal leaders were established after a bloody storm, which is why there are many rights and wrongs in the Mongolian steppe, and many tribes are descendants of Genghis Khan but have a deep blood feud with each other.
After a short period of emotion, Liu Dingchen said, "Leader Alert! Although the Tushetu Khan tribe is the overlord of the Khalkha Mongols, the tribes that have a gap with her are not only the Turks. ”
"Oh? Sir, are you right...? "The Hechiti tribe is located in Moxi Mongolia, and Alett really can't think of any other tribe that can match the Tushetu Khan tribe, could it be the Tumut tribe, the overlord of Central Mongolia? They are mortal enemies, but since the death of Altan Khan, the civil strife that has left this giant in turmoil and turmoil, and the recent civil war over the heir issue, can they still intervene?
What Liu Dingchen was referring to was not the Tumut Ministry. "The Tumut tribe is devastating! In the following is Genghis Khan's descendant Chahar Mongol Great Khan - Lin Dan Khan. ”
"Sir is saying that he wants to provoke a war between Chahar and Tushetu?" Kali is like this, three sentences do not leave the line, anything can be involved in war, too, what else do the Mongolian tribes have besides war?
This is more difficult, Liu Dingchen said, "If the leader of Alett and the nobles can be trusted, Liu is willing to persuade Lin Dan Khan." War is not guaranteed, but it will definitely keep the initiator Khalkani busy for a while. ”
"This...?" Seeing that his father was a little hesitant, Burhan got up and said, "Abba! Let the gods try, and be a dead horse and a live horse doctor. ”
Alette lowered his head and pondered for a while before reluctantly agreeing, but Wu Rizhao frowned and said thoughtfully, "The dispute will eventually subside, how will I deal with myself at that time?" ”
This does not mean that Wu Rizhao opposes Liu Dingchen's envoy, but takes precautions.
Liu Dingchen admired this very much and said: "Lord Wu Rizhao said it well! The reason for stirring up the dispute between the Chahar and the Tushetu tribe is to buy us enough time. We Han people have a saying that striking iron needs its own hardness! In the meantime, we have to find a way to make the Tushetu Khan not be able to do anything even if they turn back. ”
Hearing this, a flash of inspiration flashed in Burhan's head, and he excitedly shouted, "Build a city? ”
Liu Dingchen immediately took over the conversation and said, "It is worthy of being a son!" It is the building of the city. ”
Building a city? This word is as unfamiliar as the original road construction, but the nobles of the Hechi Ti Department do not think these two words are simple, just look at the city of the Han people. Although the Mongols are the best cavalry in the world, they may not be good at attacking cities, and every time they attack the cities of the Han people, they must not suffer heavy casualties? It can be seen that the city is indeed a good protective measure. It takes a lot of manpower to build a city, and this is no problem, there are more than 10,000 young and strong slaves available in the Hechiti Division. There needs to be design drawings, and this seems to be able to be solved, and the son of Bohan brought back a large number of Han craftsmen, perhaps some of whom are good at building cities. It seems that the construction of the city is the most suitable for the current needs of the Hechiti Ministry, just like the Tumut Ministry, to build Kuku and Tun (now Hohhot)?
Bourhan was a little excited, and he danced and said, "Father! Uncle Wu Rizhao, uncles and nobles. Now that the two main roads of our Hechiti Department have been basically completed, it is just right to free up their hands for building the city. And we don't have to worry about running out of time, remember the cement triad used for paving? ”
Everyone followed the train of thought of Burhan and recalled that the road paved in the Hechi Tibu recently was cement triple soil, sprinkled with water and rolled over, and after a few days, it was really hard and abnormal.
"It's all about cement! It took several years for the Han people to build the city, because it was built by rammed earth by manpower, and I built it with cement and stones, as long as the cement solidified, it could be as solid as a rock. At that time, the Tushetu people could only be discouraged. Most importantly, we have the god to stall for time. ”
Burhan said and made a big salute to Liu Dingchen, Liu Dingchen dared to accept it, and hurriedly helped Burhan up and said, "In fact, Liu's plan is still insufficient, that is, the envoy Chahar and the envoy Tushetu Department should be carried out simultaneously." ”
Burhan wondered, "Why is that?" ”
Liu Dingchen replied: "Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case!" What if Erek or Karkani don't play their cards with common sense and have to do it in the summer? ”
What Liu Dingchen said is reasonable, but who will send the Tushetu Khan Department?
At this time, Wu Rizhao took the initiative to get up and said, "Others are not enough, I think I still have a little courage, and my eloquence is okay, so I will complete this task." ”
Alett looked at his Anda, he was always sure that Wu Rizhao was still the good Anda who fought alongside him, a warrior of the Hechiti tribe who could give him his back, he held Anda's hand and said, "My good Anda! I've tired you for my son! ”
But Wu Rizhao said: "Chief! I'm here for the Red Tibu, and I'm for my son-in-law! This sentence further confirmed the status of Burhan, and at the same time showed that he Wurizhao had completely recognized Burhan since then. In the future, the nobles of the Hechiti Department can only work together to maintain Burhan, and there is no distraction!
After hearing this, Burhan was moved and opened his heart at the same time, and Wu Rizhao's daily nitpicking may be an encouragement.
Wu Rizhao's words inspired all the nobles of the Hechi Ti tribe, and only by uniting to overcome difficulties can the Hechi Ti tribe overcome difficulties, and the Hechi Ti tribe from the era of the old Khan, and then to the present, from a small tribe with a few hundred tents to a medium tribe with thousands of tents of fifty or sixty thousand people, is it not precisely such a spiritual support?
Alette looked up to the sky and sighed, and the feeling returned. After a few years of silence, the Hechi Tibu was somewhat content with pleasure, and now under the watchful eye of tigers and wolves, this bloodiness has been stimulated again. He strode up to the front seat and said solemnly, "Give the order!" Call on all the people to prepare the relevant materials, we must build a strong city for ourselves before the Tushetu people come, a strong city that will make the Tushetu people choke up! ”
After Alett finished speaking, everyone bowed down and said, "Follow the leader's command!" ”
