The Mongol system of inheritance of young sons determined that every family had an aggrieved eldest son.
Wu Lihan was the eldest son of Shuo Lei in his early twenties, when his grandfather was still alive, and Shuo Lei did not even dare to think about becoming a Khan.
When Ulihan grew up and became a sturdy Mongolian youth, he fought for his father's Great Khan cause, defeated rival tribes, and encircled the steppe pastures. Because of the blood relationship between father and son, Wu Lihan was also loyal to Shuo Lei, and never complained, watching the tribe become stronger day by day, and eventually become the mainstay of the Khalkha tribe, he was even more sincerely proud and gratified.
"You have said so many heroic deeds, worthy of your flowing golden blood, but what can you get in the end? Running horses can reach the end of the pasture in a day, and even the most stupid people can count the horses, sheep and population. And your pampered younger brother, who grew up in a golden tent, has never experienced the torrential rain of the grassland or the wind and sand of the desert, but he can occupy the entire prairie and sing unbridled between Hulun Lake and Bear Lake...... You have to bend your knees and call him the Great Khan, as if you were sheltered by him to eat a bite of mutton here. β
The man who spoke this was a Mongol from Monan, who was said to have been the son of Lin Dan Khan's mastermind, and who now roamed between the Ming and Mongol tribes in the fur business. As a Monan, his accent felt a little harsh in U Lihan's ears, and his vicious tongue even spoke of U Lihan's heart disease.
If Genghis Khan's great deeds could not be achieved and a large territory could be cared for, the eldest son of the Mongols was destined to be a tragic hero who was eventually abandoned as a cow and a horse.
After Shuolei had his fifth son, Babu, he often expressed the intention of handing over the family business to his fifth son. As for the birth of the sixth son, it was only an accident, and he was too weak and young for the huge Chechen Ministry. It is basically impossible to obtain inheritance rights.
Therefore, the opponent of Ulihan is the fifth brother Babu.
The provocative merchant who interspersed the Han dynasty naturally became the mastermind of Wu Lihan.
With the merchant's advice, Ulihan either wooed or suppressed his younger brothers, with the aim of weakening Ba'b's power among the tribe. Up to now, Wu Lihan has completely embarked on a road of no return. Just waiting for the opportunity. This mastermind was a merchant who traveled back and forth to the desert, and brought him elite swords and sturdy armor made by the Ming Dynasty, so that he could equip a personal guard that was loyal only to him.
The number is Ming Di Wei.
The allusion to Ming Di is also the one that the mastermind sued SΓΉ Wu Lihan. After knowing this story, Wu Lihan really killed his father Shuo Lei.
-- If I can accomplish great things from it, why can't I?
Wu Lihan often thinks like this.
"If he dies now, how sure are you that you will take over the Chechen Ministry?"
Hearing the mastermind directly ask this question, Wu Lihan was a little stunned, but he regained his calm in an instant. He had known that this day was inevitable, but he didn't expect it to be like this. In the previous design of this mastermind. It should be decades of accumulating strength, then killing Shuo Lei and Babu in the middle of a wine feast, sharing some of the benefits with the other brothers, and then becoming the new Chechen Khan.
"Now that the Han people are eyeing us, if we have any more civil strife, won't the Han people take advantage of it?" Wu Lihan asked.
"Han Chinese?" The mastermind laughed in a low voice: "About two thousand years ago, the Han people also hit the Wolf Juxu Mountain, did they stay?" The steppe is destined to be ours Mongols. It is simply impossible for the Han Chinese to live here. All they want is a name, what's the use of all those flashy things? Now is the time to capitalize on it. Use the Han Chinese to remove obstacles for us, and you can win more prestige. β
Wu Lihan hesitated a little and said, "I heard that the Han people did not leave in Monan. β
"Mo Nan is next to the land of the Han people, and there were originally Han people living in the grassland, so they were able to stand on their feet. Is this the case in Mobei? The mastermind asked.
Wu Lihan shook his head. Because there is a desert barrier, let alone the Han people. Even Mongolian herdsmen and business travelers are not allowed to come and go.
"Shuo Lei is not wrong about one thing. In the steppe, not having a horse is like having no legs and feet. The Han people were destined to retreat. The mastermind added: "In particular, they can't eat ghee and mare's milk on the grassland, they will die of diarrhea if they eat it, and every qiΔ food has to be transported from the Ming Kingdom, and it often takes five porters to raise a soldier." The cost is so great that no matter how rich you are, you can't afford it. β
"But we don't have much to do with the Han Chinese...... "Wu Lihan looked at the mastermind, and suddenly realized something.
The mastermind bowed slightly: "The villain is only because he buys bright goods to have today's net worth, although I don't know the Han people here, but it is not a problem to find the door." β
Wu Lihan had long suspected that this mastermind had a connection with the Han people, but seeing that he could get a sword and iron armor for himself, he subconsciously did not want to be suspicious. Now the mastermind Mao Sui recommended himself, which made him have a trace of suspicion, but when he thought about it carefully, he had nothing to lose: the Han people were going to leave after all. If you can eradicate Shuo Lei and Babu with the help of the Han people, the ultimate beneficiary will be yourself.
Even if the conditions for agreeing to the Han people at that time come? Can Han Chinese still be officials here? Who would listen to a Han Chinese?
"Okay, there's Mr. Law." Ullihan said: "I'll go to Armu and ask him not to go to Zasak......"
"No," the mastermind shook his head, "you and Armu are going to Zasak and Tushetu, but not to the Alliance. β
"That's?" Wu Lihan was a little surprised.
"Tell them that the Chechen Ministry has accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty and has become the prince of the entire Khalkha Mongols, asking them to send protons to the mouth of the Krulun River, and also to pay tribute, a hundred horses, a hundred sheep, and a hundred camels. If they refuse, they will face punishment from the Ming and Chechnya. "The master.
Ullihan Daqi: "How could they agree? β
It's okay to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, but it is categorically impossible to surrender to Chechnya. Tushetubu, which borders Chechnya, is even stronger than Chechnya, how can it be like Chechnya tribute. What's more, the last time Khalkha bowed down to the Jin State, he only needed 900 tributes, and this time it rose too much!
"It's to make them not agree to send troops, and have the idea of watching a joke." The mastermind smiled and said: "When the Shuo base soldiers are defeated and die, we may have a chance to use the Ming army to even fight them!" β
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wu Lihan suddenly perked up. If you can really defeat Tushetu and Zasak together, even if you really agree to all the conditions of the Han people, it will be nothing.
The Han people thought too simply, did they really think that the eagles on the grassland would submit to foreign races?
β¦β¦
"If Ulihan and Armu go to Tushetu and Zasak as we command, they will cut off the back of the fortress, and he will not even have a place to escape. Moreover, after Shuo Lei's death, we will have more room for maneuver if we are at peace with the Chechen Ministry. β
If Wu Lihan was at the scene, he would have been so surprised that his jaw fell to the ground and he couldn't pick it up.
The Mo Nan businessman wearing a royal blue Mongolian robe was speaking fluently in the official dialect of the Beijing division at the moment, sitting between several majestic Ming army generals and colonies, without the slightest crampedness.
Cao Ning listened to the businessman's report, and said with some excitement: "Lao Tzu has long known that Shuo Lei will not be sincere in submission, but he didn't expect that he would dare to use the heavenly army to stand up!" This time, they just planned it, and if they wanted a way, they would give them a way - Huangquan Road! β
Xiao Donglou laughed and said: "Originally, our Second Guards Army could also beat them down, but with the help of the Jinyi Guard, it is really like a tiger." This time it's convenient! β
The brocade guard smiled reservedly and said: "I can't afford it, I can't afford it, these are just little tricks that are icing on the cake, and the chance to win a decisive victory depends on the real swords and guns of the military gate." Xiao Donglou was about to be modest, and the brocade guard said: "The lower official still has an idea, but because of the responsibility of the lower official, he rashly proposed that if there is something wrong, I hope that Xiao Junmen and Cao Dashen Haihan." β
"It's all for His Majesty's life, if there's anything you can't say, it's okay to say it directly!" Xiao Donglou's excitement had not passed, and he said with a grin.
"That's it," Jin Yiwei said, "In order to go deep into Mobei over the years, our department has also put a lot of effort and spent a lot of manpower. Not to mention the credit, the lower officials have traveled back and forth to the desert dozens of times, and there is always a little bit of hard work. β
Cao Ning's heart was quiet, and he said secretly: This person didn't say anything in advance, obviously things are a bit tricky. He glanced at Xiao Donglou, and saw that Xiao Donglou was still smiling, knowing that his old partner had not reacted to this stubble, and couldn't help but be anxious.
"It's not easy to gain a foothold by Wu Lihan's side, it's really hard-won." Jin Yiwei said: "This time the military gate can only punish the first evil, regardless of the rest?" β
Xiao Donglou was stunned. Although from the beginning of the Donggong Army, the combat exploits are not counted by the first rank. However, on the prairie, there is no merit in attacking the city, if there is no head, how can you explain it to the emperor and the people of the world? Could it be that the Second Guards Army of more than 30,000 people traveled thousands of miles just to kill one or two people?
"It's okay to leave Wu Lihan with a life......" Cao Ning muttered.
"Dashen, it's to leave the Chechen Ministry." Jin Yiwei said: "Wouldn't it be more convenient to let Wu Lihan take charge of a Chechen ministry that relies on the Ming Dynasty and defeat Tushetu and Zasak with the support of the Ming Dynasty than for the Ming Dynasty to do it himself?" The general's exploits in opening up the territory and sealing the wolf are enough to shine in the annals of history, so why do you care who the people who do the work are? β
Cao Ning immediately understood.
Jinyiwei's consideration is naturally out of his own work position. For Jinyiwei, a Khalkha with constant strife has room for them to operate. With the Chechen Ministry's bones, they were able to buy more horses. Not to mention a Khalkha Mongol, maybe it can also infiltrate the four warats in Moxi.
For the Second Army, this is a change from a knife man to a shepherd. This doesn't seem to be a good thing for soldiers who aspire to martial arts. (To be continued......)
