The upper reaches of the Kerulen River, Daorduo.
Orduo means palace tent in Turkic language. Later Liao, Jin, and Mongolia (Yuan) all inherited this name. The tent where the Khan lived, as well as the attached palace households, guards, and even the territory were collectively called Orduo. Duo. Among all the Ordos, there is only one called the Great Ordo, which was the first Ordo established on the grassland between the upper reaches of the Kherulun River and the Sengkul River after Genghis Khan became Khan. . After Genghis Khan's death, the Great Orduo was inherited by Tolei and his descendants.
After the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Great Orduo also had its own general administration office and more than 20 departments including the promotion department, official affairs department, and production department. They also have private craftsmen's households and hunting households in Dadu, Baoding, Dongping, Zhangde, Tai'an and other places, and they also have the right to collect silk and household notes from five households on Ganzhou Road. Therefore, before the Yuan Dynasty lost its power to rule the Central Plains, Daurduo was also part of the "Fuquasaibei" of the Yuan Dynasty, and a large number of palaces, official offices, and temples were built.
However, when Zhu Youjian arrived here in the autumn of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the glitz of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties had long gone, and all he saw was endless desolation, some dilapidated ruins, and a newly built civil structure bastion.
This bastion is the Great Orduo City!
The name of the Great Horduo City was not only given by Zhu Youjian, but also now by the Chechen Khan Tribe, Tushetu Khan Tribe, Zhasak Tuhan Tribe, Nenhorqin Tribe, and Arumenggolian Tribe (nomadic in the Hulunbuir Grassland ), Urad Tribe (nomadic in the grasslands south of Lake Baikal), Ujimqin Tribe, Chahar Ten Thousand Houses, Tumut Ten Thousand Houses, Ordos Ten Thousand Houses, Dorot Ten Thousand Houses, and Alakchot Ten Thousand Houses. 17 Mongolian majorities or 10,000 households, including 17 households in Mongolia, including 10,000 households in Wuliangha, 10,000 households in Doluo, 10,000 households in Taining, 10,000 households in Duoyan, and 10,000 households in Fuyu, as well as 90 households in Monan Mongolia, Mobei Mongolia, and Dongdao Mongolia. The small and medium-sized tribes recognized it and became the nominal capital of the Great Mongolia again.
In addition to the five noble concubines directly under Zhu Youjian and the leaders of Wanhu Orduo, there are 12 other major tribes and Wanhu, as well as dozens of leaders of small and medium-sized tribes. Now they all bring beautiful widows and horses selected from the tribes. I entered the small city of Orduo.
They are here to participate in the Khan Election Conference. Who the new Mongolian Khan will be depends on how they vote!
In a Khan-selecting Hall built with logs picked from Bayan Ulan Mountain, which looks a bit like the Juyi Hall of the Mountain King, more than a hundred leaders who have arrived are sitting upright, listening to a twelve-thirteen The 20-year-old child talked about the rules of choosing sweat.
This child is of course no ordinary child. He is the eldest son of thousands of households in Chahar. Erkongoro Ezhe is also the adopted son of Zhu Youjian.
The legal heir to the Great Mongol Khanate... However, there is little chance that the Great Mongol Khanate can be inherited by a legal heir. Therefore, he can live peacefully until now, and he can also preside over the Khan election meeting in the name of the head of thousands of households and tribes, which shows Zhu Youjian's magnanimity.
"We have one hundred and seven leaders here..." Ezhe said with a smile, "One person, one vote, vote for Dahan. I will give you a piece of paper later. Just write down the name of whoever you want to choose. Go up... If you don't know how to read, ask someone under you to write it for you. After you finish writing, just put your thumbprint on it."
"Ezhe Hutaiji," someone immediately asked, "Can anyone really choose?"
"Not everyone can do it," Ezhe said with a smile, "After all, you are choosing Khan... You have to choose between Taiji and Tabu Nang, right?"
Taiji is the honorific title of the male member of the Golden Family, and everyone present is Taiji. And Tabu Nang is the honorific title of the son-in-law of the Golden Family... There is only one Tabu Nang of sufficient weight in Daorduo City, and that is Zhu Youjian!
Rare things are more valuable!
There are so many Taijis, it’s easy to be spoiled for choice, but there’s only one Tabu Nang... you have no choice!
"Ezhehu Taiji," another Taiji asked, "I wonder who you plan to choose as the Great Khan?"
"Of course I choose my father!" Ezhe said with a smile, "I am a filial son, so of course I choose my father... What about you? Who do you choose?
Oh, my father said, you can choose whoever you want, you really don’t have to be afraid, you can vote with confidence! "
The people below heard what E Zhe said, but no one believed it. They all thought: This is what you, a kid, believe! We don’t believe it! Your father is testing us! If any of us doesn't choose him, he will definitely die without a burial place.
Thinking of this, the leaders of the various Mongolian tribes present rushed to express their stance.
"I also choose Emperor Ming!"
"Of course I choose Long Live Lord!"
"Choose Long Live Lord. If you choose Long Live Lord, Saibei and Jiangnan will become one family again. You and I will enjoy peace forever!"
"Yes, yes, let's vote for Long Live Lord together..."
"Just choose Long Live Lord!"
Ezhe was very happy after hearing this. He stood up and said to everyone: "Since everyone means this, then I will go and talk to my father and let's have a meeting early... The weather in Saibei is getting colder and colder." Come on, finish it as soon as possible, and everyone can go back early to enjoy the winter."
It’s better to go back early! Staying around this big city of Orduo is really worrying day and night. It is really like accompanying a king like a tiger!
"That's right, the earlier the meeting is held, the better!"
“Better choose today!”
"Choose now..."
Seeing everyone saying this, Ezhe smiled and cupped his hands, "Then I'll go tell my father."
After saying this, he took steps to find Zhu Youjian.
In fact, he sincerely supports Zhu Youjian to become the Great Khan, because his mother, Concubine Sutai, and his aunt, Concubine Wuliangha, have promised him that his father will be the Great Khan this time, and he will be the next Great Khan. Of course...this is also what Zhu Youjian meant!
So as long as he has a little patience and waits for sixty or seventy years, he can be a sweat!
Of course, E Zhe doesn't know how long Zhu Youjian can live, so he still has hope.
...
When E Zhe came to see Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian was not squinting in his yard, but went to the golden-domed tent by the Kerulen River outside the city.
Because Daorduo City is very small, there are many troops following Zhu Youjian from the north. There are more than 10,000 troops in front of the tent alone, as well as 20,000 Mongolian cavalry led by Concubine Uliangha and Concubine Duoyan. Of course, it was impossible for more than 30,000 people to stay in the city of Daorduo, so he had people set up a camp outside the city and set up a golden tent.
Zhu Youjian went out of the city to his golden tent outside the city today to summon Sony, the envoy of the "Eight Banners of the Golden Mongolia".
He originally didn't want to see Sony. Those from Golden Mongolia and Silver Mongolia are not good things! The traitor did the right thing to kill Xifu and Fan Wencheng! If there is anything wrong, it is that Sony was not killed together...
However, a piece of news brought by Sony made Zhu Youjian change his mind and decided to meet Sony in the golden tent by the Kerulen River.
"Sony, is Huang Taiji really dead?" Zhu Youjian looked at Sony with burning eyes, as if he didn't quite believe what he said.
The day is not right!
In his previous life, Huang Taiji died in the 16th year of Chongzhen. Now he is only in the 7th year of Chongzhen. Why did he die?
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely true..." Sony said with a sad face, "My big Khan died because of the tragic defeat at Luo Mahe. He was so angry that he suffered a stroke."
"Who is in charge of Jianzhou now? Dorgon or Fulin?"
Sony was stunned when he heard this question, who is Fulin? Zhu Youjian should be talking about Funing, right?
He thought for a while, and then said: "When I left, I didn't know who would be the Great Khan... I only knew that the person in charge of the remnant army was Da Baile."
"Daishan?" Zhu Youjian frowned, "Can Daishan represent the Eight Banners of Mongolia?"
Sony said: "Long live Lord, although we have a great Khan, national affairs are still discussed by the Baylors together. Now there are many Baylors who support the big Baylor. In addition to the two sons of the big Baylor, there are also Abatai and Jilharang. , Dege and others all support Da Beile, and the relationship between Taisong Fujin and Da Beile has always been very good... Even if Da Beile does not become the Great Khan, he can still become the Regent Da Beile."
