Genghis Khan was silent.
Mu Huali understood instantly. He frowned and glared at Shiji Hutulu angrily: "You are the eyes and ears of the Great Khan. No one can violate your words! If there is anyone who is not loyal to the Great Khan, you should punish him." They put to death, they punished! Why don't you do it!"
"It has nothing to do with the loss of luck!" Genghis Khan raised his hand and pressed Mu Huali's shoulder.
"Who is it? Who is it?" Mu Huali blushed and asked a few questions, then looked at Huo Erchi who was fanning the flames: "Can't Huo Erchi punish those people? Khan, I willing……"
Genghis Khan pulled Mu Huali and asked him to relax his clenched fists and calm down.
He opened his mouth and said to Shi Jihu Tuhu a little tiredly: "Tell me about it!"
"As commanded."
Today, Genghis Khan is recognized as a powerful commander by countless people on the grassland.
In his more than twenty years of fighting, he had countless powerful enemies.
From the initial battles of the Merqiti tribe entrenched in Bulachuan, to the Taichiwu tribe, which is known as the strongest among the vast number of people; from the fierce Tatar tribe who dared to confront Dajin, to the Tatar tribe who was also a beggar with him Department, but as the Lord of the Long Branch and Noble Stomach, Erqi Department.
Then to countless tribes such as Hedajin, Sanzhiwu, Duoerbian, Hongjila, and even the warrior among the warriors, Jamuhe Khan, and Tuoli Khan of the Kelei tribe, who was respected as his father by Genghis Khan. These enemies were either heroic, powerful, prestigious, or widely supported, but they were all defeated and died at the hands of Genghis Khan.
For thousands of years, the grassland peoples have had very little civilized governance and even fewer written historical records. However, relying only on oral memories, every Mongolian can know that since ancient times, no one has been able to rise from nothing like Genghis Khan. Rise to the top and rule thousands of miles of grassland.
So there is no doubt that Genghis Khan is the most powerful commander since ancient times.
Every Mongolian thinks this way, except Genghis Khan himself.
He knew very well that his archery skills were far inferior to Zhebei's, his bravery was far inferior to Zhelemen's, and his decision-making in battle was inferior to Subotai... He could give a hundred such comparisons.
Since he gathered together, every capable subordinate he has promoted has one or more abilities that far exceed his own. This is the case for Mu Huali, Shi Ji and Tu Hu in front of him. The great shaman who is muttering a mantra is like this. Erchi, the same is true.
The reason why he was able to achieve countless victories and unify the grasslands was not due to Genghis Khan's own strength, but because he was able to do his best to gather the strength of everyone and condense ten, hundreds, or even thousands of people into steel.
When Genghis Khan was first elected as Khan, he abandoned the original tribal organization. He was led by Borshu, Zhuochi Hesar, Beligutai and others, and assigned ten positions such as bow and arrow, sword, and horse control. He established a powerful team managed by his close confidant Nak'er and belonged directly to Genghis Khan himself. team, and use strict military discipline to restrain them.
In subsequent wars, Genghis Khan reiterated discipline and strict laws again and again. He strictly followed every order issued and ordered everyone who followed him to obey.
For thousands of years, the grassland peoples have been the best knights and hunters, but the natural sloppiness of the nomads restricted them and prevented them from becoming the best warriors. The noble leaders of various ministries lacked tenacity and were selfish, let alone forming the best army. ….
This has been the case for countless powerful powers that have risen and fallen, from the Xiongnu, Xianbei, to the Khitan, and it seems that it will be the same in the future.
But Genghis Khan was determined to change this situation.
He used strict laws to punish the wanton behavior of his subordinates; he used fair and just control to confront the greed and selfishness of his subordinates; he used shamans to repeatedly convey the instructions of Changshengtian to guide the hesitant people; he used continuous recruitment of elites to strengthen his own strength. To suppress the imminent ambitions of various ministries, with continuous victories and unprecedented generous rewards, the majesty of Genghis Khan can be penetrated into the hearts of every warrior.
From the repeated defeats in his youth to the devastating battles in middle age, is it because Genghis Khan himself is stronger and better at fighting than before?
of course not.
That's because
Because, as time went by, Genghis Khan's unremitting efforts bore fruit, and the transformation and tempering of the grassland peoples bore fruit. The army he led was more disciplined, more obedient to orders, and more courageous and tenacious than the other Mongolian tribes. As for victory, it was within easy reach.
Genghis Khan knew this process very well and knew where the Mongolian army's victory came from.
However, many Mongolian nobles do not understand it, and even if many people understand it, they are secretly opposed to it.
Because the process of Genghis Khan transforming and tempering the Mongolian nation was also the process of disrupting the old order on the grasslands and depriving the old tribal leaders of their privileges.
In this process, many people who were favored by Genghis Khan and those who were rewarded for their meritorious service in the war suddenly rose up and took power; countless tribes were dismantled and broken up, and the status of the old leaders was not recognized, and they instead relied on the thousands of titles granted by Genghis Khan. The position of one household or one hundred households is even lower than that of the former slaves.
Genghis Khan became less and less like the leader of a nomadic tribe, and gradually transformed into an emperor who controlled everything.
Can they accept it?
impossible.
Even if all ordinary Mongolians think that Genghis Khan is Haidongqing who flew here clutching the sun and moon, representing a person blessed by the immortal god, the only one recognized by these tribal leaders is Temujin of the Qiyan tribe.
Temujin's position as Khan was elected by the leaders of various ministries. The leaders could recommend him or others! He was the Great Khan who also defeated the Mongolian Uluth, but he was not the emperor who dominated everything. There had never been an emperor who could dominate everything on the grasslands!
Therefore, while Mongolia was flourishing, the struggle between many people and Genghis Khan continued. But they truly obeyed Genghis Khan's military orders and relied on the thousands of years of tradition of the grassland tribes. Even Genghis Khan himself could not break with them because of this. Many contradictions have always been hidden under the water, and outsiders No way of knowing.
But Muhuali and Shijihutulu were both close associates of Genghis Khan, and they knew it very well.
They also saw many of the clues that were exposed.
When thousands of households were enfeoffed that day, Chi Laowen, who was closest to Genghis Khan, actually got nothing.
Many tribesmen who had fought against Genghis Khan had obviously been broken up into pieces, but Wang Gur, Toolinle and others re-established them and organized them into thousands of households under the banner of Genghis Khan. ….
Another example is Kuokuochu, the son of old man Menlik. As the shaman leader, he is known as "Teb Tengri". He has special trust from Genghis Khan and has made great contributions in maintaining the authority of the Great Khan. But he suddenly pointed the finger at Genghis Khan's brothers Temuge and Khasar, and then broke with Genghis Khan... Is there no one behind this to fan the flames?
The rise of Genghis Khan could not take care of everyone's interests, and no matter how much the Mongolian army gained, some people felt it was not enough and felt aggrieved.
At the beginning of this year, after withdrawing troops from the Central Plains and returning to the grassland. Some Qianhu nayans suffered losses but did not get any benefits, so they complained all day long, saying that the cattle and sheep were dead, the grass was bitter, the carts and tents were broken, and they would no longer be able to follow the Khan on expeditions.
There are also some people who participated in the two major attacks in the Year of the Sheep and the Year of the Dog. Under the leadership of Genghis Khan, countless money, silk and materials were plundered from the Central Plains people, and countless male and female slaves were also taken away.
As a result, they were fascinated by these harvests, immersed in them all day long, and drank and reveled every day. As a result, they changed from eagles and hounds to fat pigs in a few months. They also told their subordinates: All this is enough. The gold and silver on the grassland can't be used up in a thousand years, so what else do you want?
When Shi Ji Hu Bald Hu said this, he bowed slightly to Genghis Khan.
"Do you think this is stupid?" A sarcastic sneer appeared on Genghis Khan's face:
"Is there any reason in this world that you have to give something to me? Is there any reason why you have to eat it when you encounter it?"
"No!"
"In this world, is there any reason not to hold a sword and let others offer cattle, sheep, and beautiful wives and concubines? Is it possible to ride on a horse and gallop, but protect yourself from the hands of the enemy and protect yourself?
The principle of continuous good fortune? "
"No!"
"So I came here personally to fight and tell them this truth!"
Genghis Khan's prestige came from endless wars. Therefore, some people believe that as long as they delay the start of the war, they can hinder Genghis Khan's process of concentrating power. But they are completely wrong.
Genghis Khan hung his legs, stood up and stood in front of the roaring bonfire. He stared at the billowing smoke column and said solemnly: "I am the Great Khan who also defeated the Mongolian Uluths, but I am not only the Khan of the Mongols, but also the Wanggu people, the Xi people, the Khitan people, the Uighur people, and even the Han people. Khan. Since those Mongolian Qianhu Nayan are tired, they will not be needed this time. I brought Qixue Jun and his sons from the grassland, as well as Yiduhu and Arsilan Khan’s subordinates, and along the way there were We summoned more than 20,000 horsemen from Peiping Wang Zhenguo, Shimo Ming'an, Yelu Ahai and others to go south one after another, that's enough!"
Mu Huali asked tentatively: "Does the Great Khan want to attack the Jin Kingdom again? In that case, please allow me to call my subordinates from Han to discuss together in front of the Great Khan's tent..."
"We want to attack the Kingdom of Jin again, but there is no need to go that deep."
Genghis Khan stretched out his palm and waved the smoke column, letting the smoke billow and roll up in all kinds of gestures.
"Yelu Ahai and Shimo Ming'an have long told me that the siege equipment made by Han craftsmen can destroy city walls like tearing pieces of paper. You have already made it, which is good. This time, we are slow Take your time. Destroy the enemy near Zhongdu, and then take Zhongdu. I heard that the big city is where all the Jurchen wealth gathers. I will reward all the spoils to the soldiers; however, I did not participate. To the fighting Chihu, nothing will be given.”
While Mu Huali was still meditating, Genghis Khan asked the shaman who remained silent in a joking tone: "Will it go well this time?"
Huoerchi said respectfully: "The will of Changshengtian has always been so clear. No matter what kind of enemy we face, the Great Khan will definitely win."
