Chapter 159: Inheriting the Khan's Throne
The news of the killing of the old slave was still known by Hong Tai and Amin and others.
When they first heard the news, everyone couldn't believe it was true, their Great Khan had been through a hundred battles, and he was accompanied by the strongest five thousand Ba Yala.
With these five thousand bayalas, even in the face of forty or fifty thousand enemies, they are not afraid at all, how can something happen?
Only Amin knew in his heart, and he knew that the news might be true, and that their Great Khan might really be killed.
Because when the patrol found a large number of corpses, they also found a lot of broken pieces of iron.
Those were the fragments of a grenade explosion, and Amin had experienced it himself and knew how terrible it was.
It's just that what he doesn't understand is that with only 2,000 men and horses, how did Jia Cong destroy those 5,000 Bayala?
It seems that this partner, as well as hidden means, is really a powerful person, and he is also a person who re-promises, and he has done everything he promised himself.
With such a means at such a young age, who in the Great Chu Army will still be his opponent in the future?
No wonder he wants to ally with me, he is also afraid that the birds will hide their bows, and the rabbits will die and the dogs will cook!
After repeated confirmations, and the dispatch of fast horses, they went to Hetuara without stopping, and found that their Great Khan had not returned, and finally accepted this sad fact.
At this moment, everyone seemed to feel that the sky had fallen.
The old slave is their spiritual pillar, the invincible god in their hearts, how can something happen?
Until this time, there were still many people who did not want to believe this fact.
Hong Tai looked at the headless old father lying on the ground, and his heart was inexplicably sad, first Mang Gurtai, then Dai Shan, and now even his father Khan was killed.
Who the hell is it? Who's against them?
Again and again, he bared his vicious fangs at them.
All the generals in the big tent, and the chiefs of the tribes, all fell to their knees.
Hong Tai lay on the corpse of the old slave and cried bitterly: "Father Khan, who killed you?" When the retainers find out the murderer, they will definitely break him into thousands of pieces and avenge his father Khan. โ
Amin knelt on the side, wept bitterly for a while, and opened his mouth to persuade: "Hongtai, the Great Khan is the Dinghai Divine Needle of our clan, and today's unfortunate death is our greatest loss, and I hate to replace him."
However, now is not the time to grieve, the top priority is to find out the murderer of the Great Khan, avenge the Great Khan, and by the way, find the lost head of the Great Khan, and deal with the aftermath of the Great Khan.
The other is to return to Hetuara immediately to stabilize the situation in the court, once the news of the Great Khan's murder is returned, there will inevitably be some ill-intentioned people who will take the opportunity to cause chaos, and these villains must not be allowed to destroy the foundation that the Great Khan has worked so hard to create. โ
Hearing this, Hong Tai stopped crying.
After thinking about it carefully, what Amin said is indeed very reasonable, but the matter of investigating the murderer will not be so simple, and now most of the tribes of Khalkha have been subdued, and they do not have the ability to kill their father Khan.
So, who else but them?
Korqin in the north is his ally, and this time he also dispatched 20,000 cavalry to help himself and others defeat Khalkha, it can't be them.
Although the Great Chu in the south is the enemy, their army is mostly infantry, the cavalry is limited, and the combat power is not even as good as the Khalkha, so they should not be able to deal with the five thousand bayala of their father Khan.
Then the only thing left is Lin Dan Khan in the west, and there have been several major wars between the two clans in recent years, and they and Khalkha both claim to be descendants of the Golden Family.
He once joined forces to fight with the barbarians, and was defeated by his father Khan and Korqin, and this Lin Dan Khan is most likely the murderer.
These are just their own speculations, and they need to be further confirmed, and they will not be able to be done in the short term.
However, once the news of the murder of his father Khan reached Hetuala, it was bound to cause a shock in the court and give some ambitious people an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Father Khan was killed, and now the highest status is himself and Amin, with his own son, naturally it is not Amin's nephew's turn.
Seeing that Amin just reminded himself that he should not have the intention of competing with himself.
Then he is the person who has the most hope of inheriting the throne, and his other brothers are not capable of fighting for themselves.
Dai Shan, who has the ability to earn with himself, and Mang Gurtai, are already dead.
The remaining brothers are either too mediocre or too young to pose a threat to themselves.
If you don't go back, it's hard to say, if you are taken advantage of by those people with ill intentions, and you can help a brother to take the position, once the status is decided, then there will be nothing to do with yourself.
It seems that we must go back to Hetuara first, and the investigation of the murderer of my father Khan can only be left to others first.
Hong Tai stood up, looked around at the generals in the big tent, and said: "Generals, my father Khan was unfortunately killed, everyone is very sad, and I hate to be able to replace him, everyone rest assured, I will definitely find out the murderer and avenge my father Khan."
It's just that the father Khan is gone, and the huge forces have no leader, and they all say that the country cannot be without a king for a day, and if a leader is not elected to control the overall situation, it will only fall apart in the end and fall into the previous chaotic state.
Hong Tai is not talented, willing to inherit the legacy of his father Khan, lead everyone to strengthen our clan, let everyone live a good life, one day enter the Central Plains, let everyone go to the Central Plains to enjoy the world of flowers there, I hope you can support me. โ
When the generals in the big tent heard this, they all thought about it, this is to wait for someone to wait for the team.
Hong Tai looked at Amin, and only Amin could influence the generals here.
Amin had already had his own plan, and he did not hesitate to stand up and support him at the moment.
"I, Amin, support Sibeile Hongtai, inherit the position of the Great Khan, Hongtai is both civil and military, and is well managed, and he is deeply respected by the Great Khan, and he is the best candidate for succession, what else do you have to hesitate."
Seeing that Amin also supported Hongtai, the generals no longer hesitated at the moment and swore allegiance one after another.
"We are waiting to meet the Great Khan, and we are willing to follow the Great Khan to the Central Plains and dominate the world."
Hong Tai was overjoyed and said: "Everyone, please get up, the top priority is to immediately lead the troops back to Hetuara to stabilize the situation in the DPRK and China, and I announce that the army will return to the DPRK tomorrow." โ
"Obey the Great Khan's orders!"
Hong Tai left a few of his cronies, as well as Amin, to discuss the specific plan.
In the end, one of his cronies was left behind to supervise the affairs of the Mongols, and all the others returned to Hetuara with the army.
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
When Jia Cong got the news, it was already several days later.
At this time, Hong Tai and the others had almost returned to Hetuala, the base camp of the barbarians.
Looking at the secret letter sent by Amin in his hand, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
It seems that this Amin is not a simple person, he is a very ambitious person.
The reason why he didn't let himself kill Hong Tai was because he was afraid that after he himself forcibly became the Great Khan, the sons of the old slave would oppose him, and finally it would be torn apart and become a mess.
He wants to take over all the forces of the old slave completely, which only Hongtai can do at present.
He wanted to support Hong Tai to succeed to the throne first, so as to gain Hong Tai's trust, develop his own power, and take the opportunity to buy a group of soldiers.
After Hongtai eliminated some threats and stumbling blocks, Amin found a way to kill Hongtai and succeed him as the Great Khan.
This plan is not bad, borrow Hong Tai's hands to get rid of his threatening brothers, and when the time comes, just get rid of Hong Tai.
It's just that Hong Tai is not a simple person, if he really wants to stabilize the overall situation, I don't know if Amin still has a chance.
The letter also reminded himself that the old slave had bribed many officials from the DPRK and China to help the barbarians speak, and there were also barbarian eyeliners in the border army, and Hong Tai would soon know the truth about killing the old slave.
Let yourself be more careful, don't be fooled by your own people.
In addition, let yourself find a way to keep the old slave's head, and when the time comes, he will come forward to redeem the head, and by the way, help himself get some century-old ginseng.
This is good news, although I got more than a dozen century-old ginseng trees from the old slave's palace, but like this kind of good thing, where can anyone be too much.
Recently, Han Nianci boiled a bowl of ginseng soup for himself every day, using ginseng that has been used for more than 50 years, and the effect feels very good.
Most of the ginseng that has been high in these years is in the hands of those tribal leaders.
Generally, the ginseng sold by caravans is less than ten years old, the quantity is large, and it is not valuable.
High-vintage ginseng is also very rare in Liaodong.
In the future, there will be Amin, but there will be no shortage of ginseng, and when the barbarian side is stable, they will start to trade with Amin.
He burned the letter in his hand, got up and left the study.
In November, the land of Liaodong was already covered in silver.
The weather here in Liaodong is very cold, and the herdsmen on the grassland have cowered in tents for the winter, even the barbarians are not willing to go out hunting, and there will be no war before the year.
Jia Cong also settled down to prepare for the winter, in fact, he didn't need to prepare anything himself, as long as he gave an order, someone would rush to do everything.
Now he is in charge of these three thousand generals, fifteen hundred households, and there are often people who come to deliver things, Jia Cong does not refuse, and accepts all the orders, although he is not rare about that little thing, but he can't do without human contacts.
If you don't accept them, you will be unhappy, and only if you accept them can you be regarded as your own people.
By the end of November, the caravan arrived in Quang Ninh, bringing with them some supplies for the winter, in addition to rice.
Two of them were actually fresh vegetables, which were tightly wrapped in several layers of quilts to prevent them from being frozen.
These vegetables are all produced in the greenhouse of Linhe Villa, which is rare in Liaodong now.
In winter, in addition to eating some dried vegetables and pickled vegetables, it is meat.
With Jia Cong's conditions, there is naturally no shortage of meat, what is lacking is fresh vegetables.
Along with the caravan came back, there were also Wangcai, Tiezhu and others.
After arranging everyone, he came to the study with iron pillars and prosperous wealth.
Tie Zhu and Wangcai arched their hands and said: "Congratulations to the Hou Ye, congratulations to the Hou Ye." โ
Jia Cong smiled and said, "You already know about my promotion to marquis?" โ
Wangcai said: "Back to Hou Ye, after we completed the task, we went back to Ningguo Mansion, and we already knew the news, Miss Ping, you asked me to tell Hou Ye that everything is fine at home, let Hou Ye not remember, and said that the old lady was very happy when she knew the news." โ
Jia Cong nodded and said, "Well, I know, let's talk about it, what's the situation on the water monkey's side?" What did you do this time? โ
Tie Zhu said: "Master Hou, the water monkey and others have completely controlled that group of pirates, the former pirate leader, in a naval battle, created an accident to make him hang, and now the water monkey is the leader of that group of pirates."
Now the water monkey's men, there are more than 400 people but less than 500 people, there are seven or eight medium-sized sea ships, more than a dozen small sea ships, and more than a dozen cargo ships.
The water monkey has also begun to regularize his pirates, and when we come back, we have already started training, and after the New Year, I believe it will change greatly, I have told him about the follow-up plan of the Hou Ye, and the water monkey said that he will definitely complete the task. โ
"What is the topography of that island? Are there any prospects for development? โ
Tie Zhu shook his head and said: "Strictly speaking, it is not an island, it is just a valley near the sea, the valley is very large and a natural harbor, the entrance is very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is okay to settle there temporarily, and it can accommodate more than 1,000 people at most." โ
It's a good place to make a little fuss, and it's obviously not suitable to be a pirate's nest, which has not yet left the mainland strictly speaking, and it is not very safe, let alone has no prospects for development.
There are countless islands in the sea, and there are many suitable for survival, so choose a terrain that is dangerous, and transport a few cannons to stand in a dangerous place when the time comes, that is the real insurance.
The main reason is that there are too few people, and Jia Cong has no plans to go to sea, otherwise places like Xiaoliuqiu Islands, Jeju Island, Yizhou Island and other places are all good places.
"Wangcai, you can rest for a few days and go back with the caravan, let the Black Mountain Village prepare a batch of New Year's goods and prey, and you can bring it back by the way, and prepare one in each of the mansions.
When you go back, go to the water monkey and tell him that when he goes out to sea, he should look for an island suitable for survival, and the terrain must be dangerous, and as a new base, I will pay for him to buy two big ships, and we had better not come forward, and let them trade on their own.
In addition, let him send a ship to explore the sea route to Liaodong, if it is no problem, we can try to take the sea in the future, and we need silver to find the level from the inner treasury, and when it is warm next year, you will come back with the caravan. โ
"Yes, Master Hou, I will definitely do this well."
Jia Cong turned his head to look at Tie Zhu and said: "There should be no war before the year, if you want to go home for the New Year, I can give you a vacation, you go back with the caravan, there will be no matter if you have a personal guard." โ
Tie Zhu shook his head and said: "Hou Ye stays here, how can we go back by ourselves, we stay here to accompany Hou Ye." โ
Three days later, Wangcai took Jia Cong's letter and led the caravan to Heishan Village, where he brought all the New Year's goods and returned to Shenjing City.
