Chapter 27: Starting Again (5)
Tokhtar took a sip of hot tea, Sinhala was much closer to Baghdad than Hangzhou, and the Mongolian upper class liked this taste very much. At this time, it is already late at night, and black tea, like cigarette rolls, can refresh the mind. Tokhoff lit a cigarette, thinking about the news he had heard from his father. The various relationships were sorted out several times in the mind of detachment, and finally began to form a system. Detachment opened.
"Daddy. I am afraid that someone is colluding with those princes. I don't know who did it yet, but there must be something to do with that person and the prince. If it weren't for the fact that someone in the court was transferred in the middle, how could those princes be able to do this. ”
Yuxi Timur originally thought that the Great Khan Timur was going to make a move on Hao Ren, but his son's words opened the mind of the Mongolian imperial envoy. Thinking about it carefully, if the Great Khan himself wants to count all the Yuxi Timur into account, it means that the Great Khan wants to solve the Yuxi Timur together. That doesn't make sense.
"Dad, I heard that a few days ago, the Queen Mother invited you and your mother to the palace for dinner. Is there such a thing? ”
“…… Yes. ”
"Does Dad think there's anything wrong with the Queen Mother?"
“…… The Queen Mother is still the same as ever. ”
"If that's the case, the Great Khan asked you to call Hao Ren into the capital in the first place, and there would be no ill intent. Maybe he really just wanted to mediate the conflict between the Yuan State and the Kipchak Khanate and knock the Kipchak Khanate on it. ”
Yuxi Timur sighed in his heart, his son is indeed smart, but his cleverness is often linked to intrigue. This is also the reason why the perspective of Detakh is always different from that of Yuxi Timur.
Tokhtar didn't expect so much, and he was very angry at this time. Seeing the guy who brushes small means, he is very excited. When these conspiracies implicate his father, Tokto's anger is mixed with the joy of trying to fight the other party fiercely. After thinking for a moment, Tokhtar smiled and said, "Kipchak Khanate, Ogedai Khanate, Chagatai Khanate." Hmph, did Daddy think of anyone? ”
"Who?" Yuxi Timur asked.
"When the Great Khan was elected, who did they support?"
Yuxi Timur was stunned, so the crown princess of the crown prince Zhenjin Kuokuo Zhen gave birth to three sons, the eldest son Ganmala, the second son Arama Bala, and the third son Timur. The second son, Tarama Bara, was favored by Kublai Khan, but died before Kublai Khan. After the death of Kublai Khan, it was the boss Ganmala who competed with the elder Tiemur for the throne of the Great Khan. Kuo Kuozhen proposed to read aloud the Sermon of the Great Khan to decide the winner, and the stuttering Ganmala was defeated. After that, it was very helpless to stop.
During the struggle for the throne of the Great Khan, the Kipchak Khanate, the Chagatai Khanate, and the Ögedai Khanate all supported Ganmara. The reason why Yuxi Timur asked Hao Ren to be given such a high rank at that time was because Hao Ren was a candidate assigned by Kublai Khan to suppress the Chagatai Khanate and the Ögedai Khanate. Such resentment made it impossible for Hao Ren to join forces with the Chagatai Khanate and the Ogedai Khanate.
"Daddy. Don't be impatient now, just wait for those people to jump. The Yuan State was so far away from Baghdad that it was separated by the Kipchak Khanate. If the Great Khan had done something to Hao Ren, he would definitely not have taken the expedition in person. There has to be someone to lead the troops. If my guess is correct, the Kipchak Khanate will definitely nominate that man to lead the army. At this point, a smile appeared on his face.
Seeing his son's smile, Yuxi Timur felt unhappy for a while. What he hated most was this self-righteous expression, even his own son.
Tokhtar didn't notice this, and when he caught the possible culprit, his mind was extremely active, and the frustration he felt when he was reforming the system was gone. Tokhtar said with mocking malice: "When they show their true colors, Daddy can tell the Great Khan about the competition for the position of the Great Khan." At that time, Ganmala first said in front of his father that he was willing to submit to the Great Khan, and when the people of the Kipchak Khanate arrived, he rebelled again, and the Great Khan was only afraid of ...... in his heart."
"Enough!" Yuxi Timur unhappily interrupted his son's plan. Seeing the undisguised plan of a conspirator, the temperament of the imperial envoy made Yuxi Timur only want to sanction the son in front of him.
But Yuxi Timur also knew that his son was also well-intentioned, and he sighed, "Tell me what happened to you." See if I can help you. ”
He was stunned for a moment, and his expression immediately became depressed. Those honest-looking Mongols didn't have so much thought, so Tokhtar felt that he couldn't deal with it at all. When the gang asked, 'Where are you going to get a vote when you become a soldier?' there is no room for any machination.
As he told about the situation he encountered, he became more and more sorrowful, and Yuxi Timur's mood became better and better. This is the discussion that Yuxi Timur liked, the national politics are difficult, and it is even more difficult to do a good job in the national affairs. It is precisely because of the difficulties that it means that we are on the right path. After overcoming these difficulties, it will inevitably be a new world. Yuxi Timur invited Hao Ren to come over this time, and also had the intention of asking Hao Ren to help the Mongolian court face the current predicament. As far as Yuxi Timur knew, Hao Ren, the lord of the Yuan State, had already overcome many difficulties.
Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, Tokhoff slept at his father's house. When I woke up the next day, it was almost noon, eating the meal prepared by my mother, and asked my father if he had gotten up. Listening to the old lady, my father has gotten up early as before. Tokh is very speechless for his father's perseverance, half admiration, half of his heart. He also knows that the affairs of the country must be taken care of, but the more he cares, the more uncomfortable he becomes. But on his father's side, there was no unhappiness at all.
After eating, Totoh went home to see his wife and children first, and then drove to the palace after noon. The establishment of a standing army was the basis for the reform of the Mongol system, and with this standing army under the control of the Great Khan, the Great Khan could greatly reduce his dependence on various tribes and princes, and also had the confidence to turn against the princes. Even in the face of the officials' equally frustrated expressions, Tokhtar called a meeting to try to figure out a solution. As long as he thinks of his father Yuxi Timur's way of being an official, he can't choose to turn around and run away like before.
After a while, there was still no result. Tokhtar suddenly had an idea, and he asked the official in charge of statistics, "How many Mongols have been found so far?" ”
"More than 50,000 households." The official replied listlessly.
Holding a cigarette in his hand, he said slowly: "Let's recruit some people from the Han people, the Semu people, and the True God Sect." Since the total number is only 100,000, recruiting 40,000 households from these people, and casually gathering some Mongols, can also gather enough for 100,000 households. ”
"This ...... Is that possible? Officials were taken aback by such a bold idea.
"By becoming a military household, those who are of the Seemu and the True God Cult can rise to a status similar to that of the Mongols, and such a good thing cannot be desired of them. I will do it with my heart when I think about it. There are 60,000 households in Mongolia, and when calculated separately for the Han Chinese, the Semu people, and the True God Sect, it is only 10,000 households each. Afraid of what. The Han people are here with us, so we can recruit more. That's 20,000 households. There are 10,000 households each in the Semu people and the True God Sect, and if they are separately led, they will not be able to make any waves. "The more you talk about it, the smoother it becomes. This method is completely in line with his previous thinking, and it is very easy to consider.
Other officials pondered this direction and felt that the arrangement was very reasonable. Although the Mongol army's military household included Han Chinese, Semu people, and True God Religion, it seemed nondescript. But the Mongols have always liked to use new annexes, and in the past, 10,000 Mongols could often drive 30,000 or even 50,000 new annexes, but now the ratio is six to four, or four of the three categories. The Han Chinese have always been obedient, and can even be counted as eight to two, which is not too easy in the eyes of the Mongols.
With an idea, the officials began to discuss the icing on the cake. In just over two hours, a feasible report of intent has begun to take shape. Originally, the officials thought that the Great Khan Timur would summon them to inquire about the progress, but they did not expect to see the men sent by the Great Khan in the evening. Now everyone knew that there would be another day to prepare tomorrow, and they agreed to come early tomorrow, and everyone dispersed.
As the officials thought, the Mongol Great Khan Timur at this time really didn't have the heart to ask about the new Mongol army. He had been shocked by the report about the Yuan Kingdom. For so many years, the Mongols have never been so rich. Timur also led his troops into battle and traveled many places. Although at his age, he had never had the opportunity to visit the legendary wealthy Great Song Dynasty, he had also heard a lot about the Great Song Dynasty. Even the wealthy Great Song Dynasty can't have dozens or hundreds of sheep per person.
As for the lives of Mongolian herders, there is no need to talk about it. Most of the looted things were worn and used, and some of them were gold and silver. Those clothes don't always stay intact and will wear out after a few years. Not to mention the possessions, which don't take long to be consumed in the transaction.

Timur was impressed by the food of Mongolian herders, and the taste of dairy products often had a spoiled taste in them. A type of cake that herders often eat is made of forage. Although the leaves of grass are chosen to be as tender as possible, young grass does not exist all year round. Most of the time, this grass is relatively stout, and after fermentation and drying, it has an indescribable taste. When the stomach is hungry, it can indeed satisfy hunger, and that is all. Thinking back to that taste, Timur felt as if he had tasted the sourness in his mouth again, and felt the grass roots in his throat.
That feeling really doesn't want to come back a second time.
