Chapter Eighty-Five: The Khan Controversy

In the spring of 285 years ago, the bitter cold wind blowing from North Siberia gradually subsided, and the barren and vast Terence steppe gradually faded into the cold snow and ice in the breeze. The snow water turns into nutrients that nourish the grasslands and fields, and the grass grows vigorously under the sun.

The fat accumulated throughout the autumn is drained by the cold and long winter, and the people of the large and small tribes of the grassland release herds of cattle and sheep to forage for juicy and nutritious grass.

The cold winters and long wars froze to death many of the old and infirm old and undernourished children of many tribes, and they buried the bones of these people, who died mainly of starvation, in the snow in the winter, gradually began to decay in the spring, and then buried them under the ground, making their final contribution to the continuation of life.

Many of the first-class cattle, sheep and demon beasts that were raised were slaughtered in the winter, and it was also difficult for the weaker of them to survive until spring.

Thankfully, the war between the North and the South on the Terance Prairie is coming to an end.

The last Khan's son, Jin Haishan, did not survive the long and bitter winter, and the candle of his life was finally extinguished, and the greatest king of the Terence Khanate sat high on the snow-capped mountain, looking at the far south, and his life was exhausted. He left an edict and appointed his eldest son, Zojin Kuthala, as the new Khan.

However, the long cold winter and the officials in charge of the information did not let the news be quickly transmitted to the Zhou king who was fighting on the northern border, and the person in charge of the edict was the then military minister Yan Timur, who learned the news of the edict was Boyan, Totok Timur, Yuelu Buhua, Yeliya, and Mingli and A.

Three hundred years ago, the lord of the Terence Khanate, Son Shan Haishan, once again launched a large-scale war against the Franco-Austrian alliance. The age of the old man is nine hundred and thirty-two years old, and he finally did not break through to become a Starlight Wheel Warrior, as a ninth-level Star Condensing War Master, he looked up at the night sky, and he already knew in his heart that his life was short, and he had to do something for the next Khan to start a war.

Ten years later, Haishan died. At this time, the Terence Khanate was at war on two fronts, and the army led by the king of Zhou, Jin Kuthala, was defending against the lizardmen in the north, a kind of humanoid monster beast, they formed a demon beast country, they had a relatively complete social system and a crude civilization concept. However, they also possess the innate physical talent of demon beasts, and their growth potential is much stronger than that of ordinary demon beasts that can no longer break through when they mature, and they are fighting the armies of the Terence Khanate for five years.

And in the south, who led the army to attack the Franco-Austrian alliance Eurotas City, was the second prince, the king of Huai'er, Tutimur. At that time, the military minister Yan Timur belonged to the same faction as the second prince, he tampered with the edict without authorization, and united the two people, Boyan and Tokhtar Timur, so that the southern fighting force of the Terence Khanate withdrew and returned to the southern part of the Terance Khanate, the capital of Dadu.

Yuelu Buhua, Yeliya and Mingli Dong A went to the northern city of Ankora as soon as possible, and the three of them informed the king of Zhou, the king of Zhou, Kusala.

The following dialogue was translated from a Franco-Austrian nobleman who was not very proficient in the Chinese language of Terence Khan.

At that time, Yan Timur asked Huaiwang Erjin Tutimur to inherit the throne of Khan, and Tutimur shirked and said: "The eldest brother is in the north, how dare I disturb the order of heaven?" Yan Timur immediately retorted: "The timing of people's hearts turning their backs cannot be struck, and if they are missed, they will not be able to swallow the umbilicus." And His Royal Highness supports the wisdom of the edict, and the king of Zhou has no approval from the first Khan. There's never been a better time. Tutimur then said: "Good, be clear to the world." ”

In less than three days, the two successively claimed the position of Khan, and the first to be called Khan in Dadu, and there was an edict, and he received more family support. Kuthala was called the Khan, and the ministers all said that Yan Timur had tampered with the edict and should be executed. Moreover, the news of the unknown position of Tutimur spread throughout many cities and tribes.

How could the unruly and unruly son Kusara allow his younger brother to take away his position as khan? The position of Khan means not only that he can provide more and better resources for himself, but also that he can supreme dominance of the entire khanate, praise of history and admiration of future generations.

Thus began a new round of war between the two regimes. As a result of the decade-long war with the Franco-Austrian alliance, the tribes and cities of the Terence Khanate were burdened with large taxes, so these years were like mills for mills, and the commoners and nobles invested a lot of money and resources into it. The harsh winter came, and I don't know how many hungry and cold tribesmen died.

And the beginning of the civil war also means the consumption of a large number of soldiers and resources. In this way, the Civil War lasted for five years, and both camps were quite strong, one side had been baptized by ten years of the Special French War, and the other side had experienced a frenzied siege by a mountain and sea of lizard armies. The two sides were evenly matched, causing misery for the tribesmen and nobles of the Terrenian Khanate, large and small.

Due to the persecution of a large number of aristocratic families, the Khan of Dadu was forced to make a proposal for reconciliation between the two sides. "A truce between the two sides, Tutimur will become regent, and Kushara will become the sole khan of the Terence Khanate." His father, Haishan and Ayuli Bali, succeeded in ascending to the throne, and the two brothers could also follow their father's example. ”

The regent here has a higher status than the king, lower than the khan, holds certain powers, and is subject to the khan's jurisdiction.

Kusara was overjoyed to hear of this proposal and agreed to personally lead his close ministers to the capital for consultations.

Along the way, Kushara felt the full glory of all expectations. First, many kings and ministers led troops and servants to accompany them, and then important ministers and nobles from all over the country led the crowd to greet them, and all kinds of etiquette were everywhere. When he sent his close ministers back to Dadu to inform him that he had come south, "the people of the two capitals heard of the arrival of the Khan's envoy and cheered and said, 'My Khan has come from the north!'" 'The kings and the old ministers vied to be the first to meet them, and they gathered together.'

These ceremonial battles were like nectar on a dry land for Kuthala Khan, who had been at war with the disgusting lizards for a long time.

In March, Kuthala and his party arrived in the land of Jaygon Chakhan. Yan Timur came to the Golden Horde and presented the Khan's jade seal to Kuthala.

For Yan Timur, who gambled his life to compete for the position of Khan for himself and his younger brother (it was Yan Timur who made the suggestion, the two sides negotiated peace, and established Kusara as the khan), Kuthala had mixed feelings, but he had some gratitude, in addition to the younger brother had been rewarded with officials such as "Right Prime Minister, Three Divisions, Shangzhu State, Military Affairs, Supervision of National History, Answerahan, Taiping King" and other official titles, he also specially awarded the title of Taishi, and was deeply condoled. At the same time, Kusara also said to Yan Timur: "All the officials who are most of the capital, and those who are used by my brother, are still the same, and they will be told by me." ”

And after a series of bloody battles, Yan Timur finally stabilized the position of Tutimur Khan, and now he is about to usher in a new Khan, and the doubts in his heart are self-evident. As the chief minister of the southern part of the Khanate, he personally came to offer the jade seal, which also had the purpose of testing Kuthara's mind.

However, Kusala's seemingly well-behaved behavior still made him frightened and suspicious.

Because, among the many official positions that Kusara gave him, he kept everything, but he missed one of the most important positions, "Military Academy".

This is a position with military power, and without a lot of military support, how long can the supply of other resources be retained?

After thanking Kusala for his reward, Yan Timur made a further temptation and said: "Your Majesty reigns in all directions, and those who are concerned with national affairs are only in the Zhongshu Province, the Military Yuan, and the Imperial History Tower, so it is advisable to choose people to live in them." ”

But Kusara did not heed Yan Timur's reminder, and after "Ran Qi's words", he ordered his close ministers to be placed in Zhongshu Province, Yushitai and Military Yuan in one fell swoop, and Yan Timur was excluded from military power.

On the same day of the conversation, Kusala hosted a banquet for Yan Timur. At the banquet, Kusala, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, said: "All kings and hundreds of priests who violate the law and transgress the etiquette will be impeached when they hear it." The wind discipline is heavy and greedy, and the axe is heavy and deep, and its momentum is also. I have a loss, and I also hear it, and I don't blame it. ”

Yan Timur, who had a clear understanding, secretly thought about his plan.

A month later, finally, the brothers Tutimur and Kushara met. The two arrived at the land of Wanghu Chadu, which was once the capital of the Khan of Haishan to build vigorously. Between the alternation of the Khan, how much bloody wind and rain, this is destined not to be a place for feelings to stay, but only a place for intrigues.

Here, a large banquet was held by the powerful people of the south, such as the southern khan of the country, kings, ministers, and nobles. At the banquet, the two sides reached a consensus.

And on the fourth day after the feast. As a ninth-level Star Condensing War Master, Kusara suddenly died, which caused extreme panic. The first reaction was naturally made by the son of Tsin Tutimur, who led a large number of his followers and quickly put the close guards led by Kuthala under house arrest. Yuelu Buhua, Yeliya, and Mingli Ah, who learned the news, saw that the general trend had gone, and there was no resistance, so they were persuaded by Yan Timur and others to take refuge in Tutimur.

Soon after, Tarjin Tutimur was officially known as the Khan of the Terence Khanate, and the Khan was called Zayatu Khan.

The entourage of Kuthala, who was under house arrest, was exiled and killed, and Tutimur began a new round of purges in order to secure his position. This purge was swift, as the large number of resources and interests drove the nobles of the south and the center, who quickly swallowed up all the resources of the large number of nobles and ministers who followed Kuthala.

Three hundred years have passed, and the Khan of Tstun Timur, who realized the serious consequences of the sibling dispute, still has no son.
