Chapter 666: The situation is clear, and the three sides are on the side
Möngke is a calm man, but Yaroslav I and the Vikings under his command are a little unclear, the reason why they came to Hal and Lin is to help Möngke, everyone knows that Batu supports him, this time Yaroslav I came in person, the intention is obvious, why should Möngke continue to pretend?
So, Yaroslav I finally couldn't help it and issued an order that anyone who did not support Möngke, especially Namazhen, would be regarded as an enemy that had to be defeated!
The Vikings, known as the Iron Ones, finally took to the streets, making Möngke's opponents feel fear and tremble, causing them to retreat in fear!
They always wanted to find the Southern Dynasty who defeated the warriors of Yaroslav I, and even searched the Han area, but unfortunately they did not find this person.
In fact, they all know that the Southern Dynasty man is not in the Han area, but is under the protection of Her Royal Highness Princess Lu Lige, and if they want to find that person, they can only confront Lu Lige head-on, that is, let Meng Ge and Guiyou confront each other head-on!
It's a pity that Möngke is not a reckless person, and things are by no means as simple as these iron-boned people think.
Due to the strong intervention of Yaroslav I, the situation in Hal and Lin became tense, although it was still lively, but in this excitement there was a rush of slaughter.
Yaroslav I's people were showing off their might everywhere, and even if Naima really wanted to calm things down, those cowards at the bottom couldn't swallow this breath, and in just two or three days, dozens of conflicts broke out in the city!
Mongol tribes gathered in the city of Horin, these people were strong-blooded, over-energetic, and wanted to show their strength and courage, and they could not be spectators, and such a conflict would soon lead to large-scale brawls.
Some people support Meng Ge, and some people support Guiyou, political discord is not just muttering in my heart, but arguing loudly and scolding, and finally fighting!
In the first five days of Naadam, this disagreement was finally brought to the table, and the Mongols who supported Möngke and supported Guiyou were divided into two camps, and Möngke's attitude from the initial acquiescence to the current large-scale reception of his supporters is no longer ambiguous.
Naima was really afraid that Meng Ge would launch a coup d'état, so he mobilized the cowardly Xue army, and imposed martial law and blockade on the grounds that the riots in the city were worse, and once Meng Ge made a move, he would be controlled by the cowardly Xue army!
But on the second day, Yaroslav I's 500 Iron Men opened the way, and Möngke took Yaletalen and others, and even Kreshi and others out, announcing that Naadam was about to be held, and everyone needed to get out of the wilderness.
Möngke did this entirely because his army was stationed outside, and there were no men and horses in Lin City, and it made sense for him to do so.
Because Naadam arranged to take place on a large grassland thirty miles outside of Helin City, these leaders and royal families needed to drag their families and had to set off a few days in advance.
There is no reason for the cowardly Xue army to stop this, because the cowardly Xue army is absolutely loyal to the royal family, and finally Genghis Khan's family.
The cowardly Xue army was selected from the children of nobles and a small number of innocent commoners, but the leaders of the cowardly Xue army, until the later Yuan Dynasty, were still served by the descendants of the four major families.
These four families are Genghis Khan's four teeth, that is, when Genghis Khan was not yet the emperor, when he was a horse thief, when he was chased everywhere, the four best Na Keer, Mu Huali and other four best companions.
These four people made the greatest contribution to Genghis Khan, the Mongol Empire was able to be established, these four people made great contributions, and Genghis Khan was also the best for them, that is, before he died, he left an edict and told future generations to treat the descendants of these four people well.
Therefore, the cowardly Xue army has always been in the hands of these four major families, and will not favor any party such as Wokotai or Tuolei, and they will support whoever is really beneficial to the Mongol Empire.
To be precise, even if Genghis Khan is dead, these four families are still loyal to Genghis Khan, and they are not guarding Genghis Khan's descendants, but Genghis Khan's legacy, the great empire left by Genghis Khan!
After Meng Ge moved out of Helin, he began to woo his supporters everywhere, and when he was in charge of more than 120,000 Mongol troops, he controlled more than 110,000 in his hands, which shows how great prestige he has in the hearts of these people.
Meng Ge is the son of Tuo Lei, and these people naturally transferred this support to Meng Ge!
However, Naimazhen and Guiyou are not helpless, Da Kulitai is the basic political system of the Mongolian people, and all major matters among the tribes are decided through Da Kulitai.
The chief can decide on the small matters in the tribe, but the appointment and dismissal of important positions need to be discussed and decided by the Kuritai Council.
It was Temujin, the title of Genghis Khan, who was also held in the Great Kuritai and given by the Great Kuritai Conference.
It is precisely because Da Kuritai is the most important political activity of the Mongol Empire that people from within the Mongol Empire, as well as those who go on expeditions outside the Cypriot Empire or in the West, must return to the court to participate in this event.
Earlier, the Great Kulitai was held, and those who went west had to return, and the Mongol army was only halfway through the battle, and the Mongol army retreated in a hurry, leaving a respite for those small countries in Europe.
After withdrawing from the West, Guiyou brought back a lot of Mamluk mercenaries from Vienna and the Mamluk dynasty, and the individual combat ability of these Mamluk mercenaries may not be as good as the Vikings' iron bones, but when it comes to team combat, their combat ability is far superior to that of the Vikings!
The Mamluk mercenaries were originally slaves, but they were good at war, and developed extremely powerful offensive and defensive tactics, and later established their own dynasty!
Born as slaves, but united to build their own dynasty, the Mamluk slaves possessed a supreme achievement that would make them proud and respected by the whole world!
It's a pity that they are slaves after all, and it's okay to fight, but it's not good to run the country, and as soon as the Mongols come over, they have internal problems.
Guiyou didn't have much success in participating in the Western Expedition, and it was not as dazzling as Batu and Mongolia, but he caught the key, he was a person who was good at speculation, so he brought back the Mamluk mercenaries, these Mamluks, only loyal to Guiyou, can be said to be Guiyou's "cowardly Xue Army"!
The lords left Har and Lin one by one, and Yelu Chucai led many civil and military officials, and supported the grandsons of Wokotai, and left Helin and went to the place where Da Hulitai was held.
As a result, Hal and Lin seemed to be emptied overnight, leaving only Nama Zhen and Guiyu, with a vague sense of betrayal and separation.
Naima Zhen is also very angry about this, she has endured it for so long, and she already knows that even if she endures it again, the situation will not change much, and this kind of forbearance will make people feel that they are cowardly.
So she and Guiyu also began to become more powerful, going around to win over those leaders and army generals who had returned one after another.
The situation gradually became clearer, Meng Ge and Guiyou also formed a situation of confrontation, and the camps of both sides became bigger and bigger, and Yelu Chucai also inserted a kick, which became even more lively.
Batu himself did not lead the army back to participate in the Great Kuritai, but Yaroslav I brought men to support Möngke, Möngke himself, and his younger brother Kublai Khan, all of whom were highly accomplished in the military and had great appeal in the army.
Although Guiyou was weaker in the war, he had the support of Naima Zhenkedun, and after the death of Emperor Hehan, Naima Zhenlin was in charge of the dynasty, which was Guiyou's greatest reliance.
As a veteran of the Three Dynasties, almost half of the officials are under his control, and the court also supports the Lost Martyr Gate as orthodox.
After the situation became clear, everyone began to tear off the fig leaf, tear their faces to fight, hundreds of tribes, large and small, all of them were active, and strange goods could sit on the ground and raise prices, some were just for the interests of the tribe, and some were for the loyalty in their hearts, they chose their own sides and positions.
For example, Tuolei's wife, the Kereh Department where the Kereh clan is located, naturally wants to support Meng Ge, and the Mongolian royal family in order to maintain the purity of the bloodline, the scope of intermarriage is very small, and the involvement between the major families is also complicated.
It is precisely because of this that none of them can stay out of the matter, the politics of the Mongols do not have too much deceit, and there are not many gloomy people like Yelu Chucai, they advocate strength, and the problems that can be solved with their fists are absolutely not used to deal with the tongue.
Therefore, the tripartite camp soon became clear, although Guiyu's power was still the largest, but Meng Ge had a strong heart in the army, if it was really urgent, and if a coup d'état was launched, Meng Ge had a better chance of winning.
Yelu Chucai only has the support of civil and military officials, after all, the Lost Liemen is a child, and everyone knows that even if the Lost Liemen ascends the throne, it is a minister like Yelu Chucai who will control the government, so it is the Lost Liemen who has the least voice.
As those army generals returned one after another, Meng Ge's power grew stronger and stronger, and Naima Zhen and Guiyou didn't know what conditions they put forward, Yelu Chucai suddenly changed his tone again, claiming that Guiyou was the son of Ogedai Khan after all, the uncle of the Lost Martyrs Gate, and the courtiers finally chose to support Guiyou!
Everyone knows that this Great Kuritai will determine the future fate of the Mongol Empire, and everyone is willing to participate in it, and everyone is willing to seek a better future for themselves.
In such a situation, this conference will be vigorous, after all, it will go down in history!
There was a storm outside, but Yang Jing stayed in the Mongolian tent with the big shaman and others, as if everything had nothing to do with them.
In fact, Yang Jing always pays attention to the trend of the situation, and at critical moments, he will also provoke it, fanning the flames and adding fuel to the fire, for fear that they will not be lively enough.
If there was no Chang Shenyue, the iron-clad man would not have appeared, Meng Ge would not have come to the front of the stage, and the two sides would not have fought so quickly.
Lu Lige has also been released, after all, there are not enough people on Naima Zhen's side, and continuing to ground Lu Lige can only make them fall behind.
Lu Lige came to visit Yang Jing for the first time, because Yang Jing recruited Chang Shenyue and others for her, which became her biggest help.
Of course, after so many things, Lu Lige is no longer simply pursuing the victory of the Naadam Conference, after all, she is a member of the royal family, and although she is not very enthusiastic about the struggle for power, she is still more sensitive than others.
When those royal families and great lords turned their backs on Naima Zhen and Guiyou, Yang Jing still remained in the imperial court, and Lu Lige was very grateful and relieved.
And the reason why Yang Jing stayed here was not because of Naima Zhen and Guiyu, but because of the Great Shaman, because he finally found the handle that Naima Zhen was holding in his hand!
