Chapter Ninety-Three: Countermeasures
Bu Lost Rabbit's words made Burhan very angry, which was obviously about Burhan and the Hechiti tribe roasting on the fire! Angry, he returned to his big tent and sullenly, and then said to the soldiers outside the door, "Go and invite Lord Zuo Xiang." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Liu Dingchen had been waiting outside the door, and he knew that Burhan would definitely ask him for advice at this time. Sure enough, after a while, the guards told him everything, and Liu Dingchen lifted the curtain and walked in to greet Burhan.
"Alright, alright. Are you still in the mood to talk about these rites now? Today's good banquet was ruined by the guy Bu Lost Rabbit, and he said a lot of heart-wrenching words, which is really damned. β
"Great Khan! What Bu Lost Rabbit is trying to reconcile the two parts today, but he doesn't forget to make trouble for my Hechi Ti department. The minister thought that this matter would be known to everyone on the grassland in less than half a month. He knew that the Great Khan was not a direct descendant of the Golden Family, but he still wanted to ask the Great Khan to call the Khan establishment, obviously with ulterior motives. How many people in this grassland are unwilling to claim hegemony? Why does no one dare to do this? Except for the example of the first accident, there are also many people who pay such attention, but none of them can succeed, and the most critical factor is that the Khan on the grassland must be a descendant of the Golden Family. Such an idea has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but no one else can win the support of the people. Today, Bu Lost Rabbit will make the matter clear, even if the Great Khan does not call the Khan establishment in the future, I am afraid that other tribes will be more vigilant! β
"That's why Ben Khan came to the gods to see what he had in mind! My Hechi Ti Department has just seized the set of departments, and it is an opportunity to develop a century-old plan, if this matter spreads, it can be said that there are wolves around it! They will surely rise up and eat our tribe, for our riches are what hungry wolves dream of. Think about it, the Heshuo Special Department and the Huite Department in Qinghai and Gansu, the Dzungar Department that occupies the financial route and takes in Deduo, the Tushetu Khan Department that is an ally but is famous, and the Tumut Department that has just reconciled the former enemy are not fuel-efficient lamps! β
Burhan melancholy! His mood could not be calmed down for a long time, and he kept pacing in circles in the big tent.
Looking at Burhan like this, Liu Dingchen suddenly said, "Great Khan! That being said, this is not necessarily an opportunity. β
Is there a chance to turn around?
"Is there a way for the gods?" Burhan asked eagerly.
Liu Dingchen stroked the goat, and said in a loud voice: "Great Khan, please listen to the minister, speak slowly." β
"The minister gave the Great Khan three strategies, as for which strategy to use, it depends on the Great Khan's decision."
"First, I have attached the Ming Court to the Ministry of Hechiti. Geographically speaking, the Hechiti Department belongs to Southern Mongolia, which is relatively close to the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Monan Mongolia is inseparable from the Ming court. Altan Khan, the former king of central Mongolia, had a contest with the Ming court for more than ten years because of the inability to appeal for mutual markets, and finally forced the imperial court to agree to trade and mutual markets, which led to decades of peace on the border. β
Of course, Burhan knew this, but he didn't know what Liu Dingchen meant by this, so he could only continue to listen.
"From the time of Altan Khan, we can see that no tribe can do without the Ming Dynasty no matter how powerful it is, isn't Bu Lost Rabbit now also the Shunyi King who was recognized and canonized by the Ming Dynasty? If I join the Chiti tribe, the Ming court will definitely increase our support to contain the Qinghai, Gansu, Mongolia, and Tumut tribes, so that if other tribes want to attack us, we will also have to think about the court behind us. β
Burhan thought about it, although Liu Dingchen's strategy could protect the Hechiti tribe for a while, it could not save the first life, not to mention that it would make the Hechiti tribe even more alienated from other Mongolian tribes, and then shook his head and vetoed it.
"It's not the right idea! The Hechiti tribe is a large part of Mongolia, and the influence of the Ming court is self-evident, although it can protect the Hechiti tribe, it makes me more alienated from other tribes. Today, an important source of wealth for the tribe comes from Alimu's trade with the Persians and from his dealings with other clans. Attaching the Ming Dynasty will cut off our trade routes, and even if the tribe is preserved, the lack of commercial wealth will only be a flash in the pan and will not last long. What's more, today's Ming Court has shown a decadent posture, and it is difficult to protect itself from internal and external troubles, where can I still take care of my Hechi Ti Department? β
Liu Dingchen looked at Burhan, how could he not know the actual worries of the Ming Dynasty? It's just that it doesn't seem to be as Burhan said, right? After all, the three major expeditions of Wanli have taught the surrounding forces a hard lesson.
Burhan's heart holds the soul of a modern man, as well as the memories of future generations. Of course he knew what was going to happen next.
"Over the years, there has been a lot of trade between me and Pi Wu, and naturally I know that there are many things on the Ming Court's side. In these years, Pi Wu removed and sold the grain produced in Ningxia Town, and he joined me with the Jurchens in Liaodong outside the Chiti Department. β
"Jurchen?" Liu Dingchen thought in his heart. The Jurchens were a semi-nomadic agricultural barbarian tribe, roughly divided into the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Xihai Jurchens. Zeng Jiang also established the Great Jin Dynasty to unify the north of the Yellow River, which was later destroyed by Genghis Khan. Now although the Jurchen tribe chief ** Hachi is attached to the imperial court, he can't keep him from rebelling, if there is really a rebellion in Liaodong, I am afraid that it will be really difficult to resist with the erosive military system of the Li family.
Burhan continued: "The Jurchen chief of Liaodong, Hachi, this person should not be underestimated, as expected, this person will inevitably turn against the Ming within two years. And Gansu and Shaanxi have been plagued by disasters for many years. Did the gods remember that Pi Wu had sold 300 Han people to come to my Hechi Ti Department some time ago? β
Indeed, Pi Wu had brought more than 300 Han people to exchange for a large number of horses, and most of these people were now selected by the craftsmen as overseers, so was there anything wrong with them that was not an outsider?
Liu Dingchen guessed well. Burhan continued: "These Han people are all bankrupt military households in the guard near Ningxia Town, because they are the first time to trade to explore the water, and more Han people will be sold to our Hechiti Department in the future. β
Oh! ... It is conceivable that if there is a catastrophe year, if there are people who are interested in instigating it, these Weibao military households with a broad mass base and some military roots will be the mainstay of the civil strife and exiles, so it can be seen that it is not advisable to rely on the future of the Hechiti Department under the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Liu Dingchen is not unaware of this, and his heart is still more or less towards the Ming Dynasty.
Since Burhan disagreed, then let it go, Liu Dingchen continued, "The first strategy does not work, and the minister offers the second strategy." β
"The second strategy is to trace the origin."
"Tracing the origin?" Burhan couldn't help but ask rhetorically. Regarding the origin, many kings and celebrities in ancient China have done such things, which is nothing more than to find a good background for themselves.
"Not bad! It's traceability. When Empress Manduhai died her husband, the entire Mongolian aristocracy knew that whoever married Manduhai would get her support and become the Great Khan of Mongolia. Later, however, even when Hazar's descendants came to ask for marriage, she still refused, saying, "Can the master's property be inherited by Hazar's descendants?" Can the children of the master inherit the property of Hazar? In the end, she married a child fifteen years younger than her, and on the day of the wedding, her husband was too young to be in the limelight. Even so, she was resolute and decisive, and eventually created the lineage of Yanda Khan, who became the main line of the golden family of today's Mongolian steppes, and deserved to be called the respected Queen of Mandu Sea. However, it can also be seen that the influence of the Golden Family in the entire Mongolian steppe cannot be ignored, which is why there is a saying in the steppe that non-descendants of Genghis Khan cannot be Khan. The minister has studied the history of the old Khan's struggle, and it is likely that the old Khan migrated from Transkhalkha to escape the war to the nomadic area of Ejina, and then established the Hechiti tribe. Looking at what the old Khan did in his life, the minister thought that it was definitely not the wisdom that ordinary descendants could have. β
The more Liu Dingchen spoke, the more motivated he became, and he kept walking around the big tent excitedly, and suddenly looked directly at Burhan and said, "Maybe... Maybe the old Khan is really a descendant of Genghis Khan. It's man-made! As long as we can find a few royal objects to prove the identity of the old Khan, then even if the other Mongolian nobles do not recognize your identity, the ordinary people will be convinced, which will be of great benefit to the Great Khan's future domination of the Mongolian steppe! β
Burhan understood what Liu Dingchen meant, and in ancient times, it was generally believed that dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes, and the sons of mice would make holes. From a genetic point of view, there may also be some relevance. The possibility of passing on smart genes to future generations after being strengthened is still quite large, but this does not mean that the descendants of other slaves cannot appear excellent talents, which may be a bit far-fetched, but it does present a recognition in the Mongolian tribes: the son of the noble man is still the nobleman, and the son of the head man can only be the head man.
What's more, since the direct descendants of the Mongolian Golden Family were massacred, too many people chose to lead the tribe to flee away from the country in order to avoid the pursuit of the first one, and it is impossible to count the scattered among the people. So as long as you find something that can prove the identity of the old Khan, it will be much easier. β
Liu Dingchen wanted to continue, but was stopped by Burhan.
"It's a good idea, but I, Burham, don't like it. For a long time, they had been laughing at Ben Khan for being the descendant of slaves and not even deserving of a surname, which is why Ben Khan had to work hard to unify Mongolia in the future, so that those crows could see it. "The Hechiti tribe has always been particularly concerned about slaves, so the other tribes used this to laugh at the Burhan family. In fact, Burhan knew that the wealth of the Hechiti tribe made them jealous, so he came to belittle Burhan.
Burhan turned his back and looked up at the roof, Liu Dingchen was competent as a strategist, but he did not take into account Burhan's feelings. Not everyone wants to "recognize their ancestors" in this way, especially for Burhan.
Liu Dingchen was somewhat disappointed, if Burhan could listen to his advice, it would be of great benefit to Burhan to dominate the grassland in the future. Burhan also saw that Liu Dingchen was a little disappointed, so he comforted
"Divine Appearance! It's not that your strategy is bad, it's that Ben Khan doesn't want to do this, and it has nothing to do with you because Ben Khan is here. β
Liu Dingchen also knew that since Burhan already had the intention of apologizing, it would be unreasonable for him to be hypocritical. Zhengzheng said respectfully:
"Hey! Sweat! In that case, there is only a third strategy. β
"The third policy? Hehe! In fact, Burhan is quite expecting this third strategy.
"Not bad! The easiest and fastest way to quell this turmoil is to leave them with no time and experience to care about this small matter. β
Hehe! In the eyes of the gods, such a thing has become a trivial matter, but this matter is indeed big or small, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is just a joke, but in the eyes of those who have a heart, this is a sentence of punishment.
Liu Dingchen continued: "If you want them to have no time and experience to pay attention to this matter, it must be war. Mongolia as a whole is not monolithic, and there are more or less contradictions among the various tribes. And the relationship between the Hechiti tribe and the other tribes in the surrounding area is not very harmonious, and the Tumut tribe has just been destroyed and has become an enemy. Although Bu Lost Rabbit has come to negotiate peace now, once the wound is formed, no matter how good the medicine is, it will leave a scar. Therefore, not only can we not get involved in the war, but we must also clean up our bodies. As for the war... The minister thinks that the Great Khan already has an idea at this time, right? β
After listening to Liu Dingchen's words, Burhan suddenly laughed: "Haha! The parents of those who gave birth to me, and the gods of those who know me! Ha ha! Sure enough, after listening to the words of the gods, Borkand immediately thought of an idea, and I believe that Liu Dingchen also guessed this idea. Gradually, his eyes deepened.
The reason why Kobdo was ceded to the Tushetu tribe Burhan had already been planned, and one day it was inevitable that this would be used as a starting point to let the Tushetu Khan and the Dzungar tribe kill each other, and then the Hechiti tribe would profit from it. Both the Tushetu Khan Department and the Dzungar Department are the targets to be eliminated by the Hechiti Department in the future.
Early the next morning, Burhan called the officer in charge of Kobdo's affairs and said, "I have been preparing for such a long time, although it is not yet time, but there is no way to do it, you go down and prepare to provoke a war between Dzungaria and Tushetu, if there is any accident during the period, you must not reveal your identity." β
"It's the Great Khan! We will die to repay the Great Khan! β
They are all the best soldiers in Chinasi, and they are also the most trusted group of people in Burhan, and they can no longer let Burhan carry out this task, but Burhan is somewhat reluctant to die in this matter, but there is no way to do it, so he can only pray to the immortal heaven.
