"Jurchen, stand up."
Adhesion Zhongshan stood up as he was told, and Genghis Khan passed the tip of his whip over his head. Seeing him trembling all over and sweating profusely, he felt a little funny.
Mongolian warriors would never be so timid.
Of course, not all the people from the Central Plains in the Mongolian army are like this. For example, Liu Heima, Liu Bolin's grandson, was very bold and willing to learn Mongolian living habits, so he was nicknamed Ye Ke Tu Li, which means big mirror.
There is also Guo Baoyu, he is a tough guy and is worthy of admiration.
But when they met Genghis Khan, they all looked frightened, which was very different from their resolute and decisive appearance on the battlefield. That Khwarazmian Hajib was just a liar who showed off his skills with words. He dared to say a few words of neutrality to the Great Khan, but a descendant from the Central Plains would never do this.
If you think about it carefully, this is really a common feature of people descending from the Central Plains. They are like Lian Zhongshan, no matter how capable they are, they absolutely respect their superiors. In their eyes, Genghis Khan was not the most powerful conqueror among the Mongols, but the emperor of the Central Plains. There was no reason to argue that he should naturally occupy a high position and win the loyalty of everyone.
Genghis Khan even felt that even after his death and a loser sat on the throne of the Great Khan, these people would still be respectful and honest and obedient.
Even if the Great Khan of Mongolia becomes an unworthy descendant who will not be eaten by cows even if it is wrapped in grass, or will not be eaten by dogs even if it is wrapped in grease, these people will still maintain the dignity of being able to defeat the Mongol Uluse.
Genghis Khan used to think that such an idea was stupid.
The Kingdom of Jin was so full of such fools that talented people could not become emperors, but wastes ascended the throne one after another. So the Jurchens who ruled the Kingdom of Jin were easily killed like stupid yellow sheep against the grassland heroes who respected the strong.
But in the past two years, Genghis Khan's ideas have changed. He began to understand the Kingdom of Jin. ..
Even the best herdsmen cannot remain vigilant forever, there will always be times when they relax. With the prestige of Genghis Khan, in order to drive the masses and use his arms as well as his fingers, he must be alert at all times. Even so, there will be madmen like Jochi who are coerced by others and openly disobey orders.
Therefore, it is always better for the conquered to be weak. Or it cannot be called weakness, but a natural understanding of rules. Only by understanding the rules can one willingly occupy the position of an obedient and be driven by the noble. Just like those descendants from the Central Plains who gave advice to Daru Huachi everywhere, and the mountains of adhesion in front of them, even if they had their own interests, they would not openly oppose the Great Khan.
Therefore, their leader Tuo Lei was never as bold as Jochi, and he never blatantly violated Genghis Khan's will. Even if Genghis Khan deprived him of everything, he never complained!
After weighing the two sides...it seems that Tuo Lei is more loyal and more sensible no matter how you look at it.
The question is, what kind of rules do these people from the Central Plains enforce? What are they using to restrain themselves? At that time, the arrangement of tow mines in various places in the river should have been very complete. Unfortunately, Genghis Khan dismantled all the arrangements of tow mines in a rage without studying them carefully.
Now think about it, most of the decisions people make when they are angry are wrong.
Who says that a Mongolian country must be governed according to the old Mongolian system? What a joke, before I, Temujin, called me Khan and founded our country, there was no system at all on the grasslands! The so-called old system of the Mongols was created by me, and it only lasted for about ten years!
When the Mongols' power was limited to the steppes, these systems were sufficient. But when the Mongols were crossing the river, covering thousands of miles of territory, and preparing to fight the powerful enemies in the east, these systems needed to be changed. What was the problem? I established the system, so am I going to be restricted by these systems?
Chagatai and Ogedai both talk nicely. In fact, like Jochi, they were all coerced by others' interests. They turned around and pushed me to drive away my beloved son!
Back then, I led the Mongols to fight and plunder everywhere on the grasslands, and everyone was willing to listen to me. What I need now is not just to feed those beauties.
I must strictly control this vast conquered land and implement my orders without compromise to everyone!
I want everyone to be like Tuo Lei, Guo Baoyu, Nian Lian Zhongshan and others. Even if they have the ability and ideas, they must obey orders honestly!
I have to squeeze out enough supplies and troops from this land, and then lead them back to the eastern part of the grassland, into the Central Plains, and crush the Dinghai navy regime! Only in this way can we re-establish Genghis Khan's invincible prestige and establish a great cause that will never be easy!
In this case, the methods of governance and education used by the Central Plains people must be useful.
"Jurchen, you dare to dissuade me when I'm angry, that's good."
Genghis Khan stared at Lianhe Mountain and said solemnly: "Because of your dissuasion, I will not pursue Jochi's crime for the time being. However, I will issue another order to ask him to join us. If he shirks the second time, he will only die. ”
"The Great Khan's mind is as broad as the sea, Cheng is..."
In the middle of what Nianhe Zhongshan was saying, he was interrupted by Genghis Khan: "I will give you another task. Go to the east, find my son Tuo Lei, and ask him to come back. I have something to ask him."
For Genghis Khan, the most painful thing in the world was being forced to compromise. Even after weighing the pros and cons, he made a compromise with his son Jochi. After killing Jochi's envoy, although his anger was suppressed on his face, the fire in his heart was still boiling.
So after saying this, he didn't bother to see the joy of gluing the mountains together, so he turned his horse and left.
But for some unknown reason, Adhesion Chongshan suddenly caught up from behind and shouted, "Khan, I have something to say!"
This despicable Jurchen, for some unknown reason, flirted with me again and again today! If he says another word that doesn't suit my opinion, I will kill him immediately! Pour melted gold and silver into his mouth!
Genghis Khan turned back coldly.
But they saw Nianhe Zhongshan kneeling down and saying in a trembling voice: "Please forgive me, the Great Khan, for this villain's death penalty... Just three days ago, one of the Fourth Prince's Na'er had returned and took something with him. The Fourth Prince said, If the Great Khan mentioned him, it must be because he was troubled by something and thought of what he did in the river. I will immediately take something like this and show it to the Great Khan."
"what?"
"Yes, it's a painting... Khan, but I don't have it with me... No, no, it's with me, but not now. I mean, forgive me, Khan, I mean, all my salutes are on camels There's that painting on my back, too." Nian Zhongshan spoke nervously and incoherently.
"Go get it."
Genghis Khan pointed. The two guards left with Zhonghe Mountain, then turned back after a moment.
Nian Zhongshan held the scroll in both hands and handed it to Su Wei, who opened it carefully.
"When the fourth prince sent Na Ke'er back, he had already arrived at the Qingyuan Mansion in the Southern Dynasty of the Central Plains. He said that he got a painting from the fleeing Jurchens in the Qinlong area of the Central Plains. It depicts the emperor of the Central Plains on a patrol. A guard of honor. Someone specially sent it to show the Great Khan."
Genghis Khan stared at the groups of vehicles, flags, propaganda, soldiers, cavalry, and attendants on the painting. He estimated that there were not more than five or six thousand people. This was really beyond his imagination.
He closed his eyes slightly and simulated such a powerful force in his mind. Compared with the solemn scene of Mongolian cavalry crossing the grassland, this guard of ceremony is naturally just paper, but other than that, it has an impressive effect...
When he was young, Temujin was frightened by this power, so he hurriedly became the "Zhawu Tihuli" appointed by the Jin Kingdom and sold his life for the Jurchens for several years.
"When I was young, I once saw the king of the Jin Kingdom patrolling the grasslands. The standards were extremely grand, not even one-tenth of what is shown in this picture. Do you think this is the guard of honor used by the emperor of the Central Plains when he went on patrol?"
"Yes. The fourth prince said that this was the ceremonial guard used by the emperor of the Central Plains more than a hundred years ago, and the scale of the tuli was reduced. In fact, the number of ceremonial guards used by the emperor was more than 20,000. Therefore, wherever he went, thousands of people worshiped him. Everyone knows the superiority and inferiority of superiors and inferiors.”
"Is there superiority or inferiority?"
"Yes, the fourth prince said that the emperors of the Central Plains are all mediocre and incompetent people, but they can command hundreds of millions of people because they rely on the system and power to let everyone know the superiority and inferiority. Then Guo Ning founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor. This method is used to govern the people. The Great Khan's talent is thousands of times better than that of the Emperor of the Central Plains, but Guo Ning is a powerful enemy. Since we want to fight with him... they will do it, and we can't help it; they have a strong influence on people's hearts. We have to learn how to control it.”
Genghis Khan stared at the mountains of glue.
Nian Zhongshan felt that his whole body was about to go limp, but he had to finish what Tuo Lei told him to say: "The fourth prince also said... He is still exploring the specific strategy for fighting Guo Ning, the Ding navy, but it will be big." When Khan rides his horse eastward, he will not be absent no matter what, and he will definitely wash away the shame of that year."
"Interesting, interesting."
After a long while, Genghis Khan said in a deep voice: "You don't want to be Bichachi anymore. You and Yelvtuhua can temporarily serve as Kadaluhuachi by my side. Your mission is to seize the opportunity in this summer and autumn." We will arrange a powerful Khuril Tai here, so that everyone in the Kipchak Grassland, Hezhong, Khorasan and other places can see the majesty of the Mongols!"
Guan Zhongshan was overjoyed and prostrated: "Thank you, Khan! I will do my best."
After a pause, he asked again: "But where is the fourth prince..."
"You don't need to look for it. Since Tuo Lei can arrange for you to do this, he will come back when it's time to come back!"
When Genghis Khan thought of this, he felt that Tuo Lei had stayed by his side for too long and had understood his father's thoughts so well that he was able to plot against him. He was a little angry, but suddenly he was happy for his son's intelligence, so he laughed.
