"Su Nang, why did your Great Khan call you to Qingcheng?" Batutaiji of the Yongxie Bu tribe asked. ,
He was the regulatory minister appointed by Chahar Lindan Khan.
Originally he was just an ordinary Taiji in the Yongxiebu tribe, but because he had the support of the Mongolian Communist leader Lindan Khan behind him, all the Taijis in Tumut did not dare to look down on him, even the great Khan Bu Shitu.
Although Su Nang is from the Golden Family, he will not look down on Batu, the supervisory minister.
"It's not about Tiger Character Flag building a warehouse." Su Nang picked up the milk tea on the table and took a sip, then said, "This Tiger Character Flag is simply a disaster. The last time I cooperated with the Fan family, it was because of their They were forced to stir things up, and now Bu Shitu is constantly using Tiger Flag's business methods to earn benefits for his tribe. Seeing that his strength is getting stronger day by day, if this continues, my chances will be even smaller."
Facing Taiji Batu of the Yongxie Bu tribe, he did not hide his dissatisfaction with Bu Shitu at all.
They and the three wives competed for Tumut's Khan position several times. It can be said that everyone on the grassland knows that. Later, he also competed with Bu Shitu for the Khan position, and almost succeeded, but was destroyed by Namu'er in the end. Lose.
Hearing Su Nang's dissatisfaction with Bushi Tu, Batu smiled slightly.
He was the supervising minister sent by Lin Dan Khan to Tumut, and he was very clear about Lin Dan Khan's attitude towards the various Mongolian ministries.
For a large tribe like Tumut, the internal disputes will naturally become more severe. It is precisely because of this that the fight between Su Nang and Bushi Tu was secretly supported by Lin Dan Khan.
Because of Lin Danhan's relationship, the two of them are natural allies in Tumut.
"You rejected Huziqi's request to build a warehouse in Tumote?" Batu looked at Su Nang.
"Of course I have to refuse." Su Nang said, "Tumut is the grassland of my Golden Family. How can we let people from the Ming Dynasty come to build a city on the grassland."
"You should oppose it, but support the Tiger Flag to build warehouses," Batu said.
Su Nang looked at Batu with confusion in his eyes.
Just listen to Batu continue to say: "Bu Shitu is the great khan of Tumut. Even if the Ming Dynasty businessman built a warehouse in your Tumut, it will be Bu Shitu who loses his majesty. There is no loss to you. If one day Lin Dan Khan marches westward, he can use this excuse to start a war with Tumut."
Su Nang frowned deeply and asked, "Lin Danhan wants to move west? When did it happen? Why didn't I hear anything about it?"
"Lin Dan Khan is still in Baicheng and has not moved westward for the time being." Batu said, "I just have this intention. Lin Dan Khan is preparing to unify all the grassland tribes and finally fight a decisive battle with Hou Jin. As long as he defeats Hou Jin, Lin Dan Khan may not be able to join the army in the future. Opportunity to dominate the Central Plains.”
Su Nang asked: "What about Tumut?"
"Tumote will naturally be assigned by Lin Dan Khan." Batu's voice paused and continued, "But don't worry, even if you defeat Tumote, you will only be dealing with those people who predict Shitu, and you will still become Tumote in the future. Mert Khan, that remains unchanged.”
Su Nang breathed a sigh of relief.
He did so many things just to compete for Tumut's position as Khan, otherwise he would not have secretly colluded with Lin Dan Khan.
Batu said: "No matter whether the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty will stop the horse racing market or not, next time you must support the Tiger Flag to build warehouses on the grassland. This is also a good thing for us."
"What do you mean?" Su Nang frowned.
Batu said: "The tiger-character flag's convoy has arrived in Baicheng. Lin Danhan supports the tiger-character flag to establish a trade road. Even if the emperor of the Ming Dynasty stops the horse market in the future, with the tiger-character flag's smuggling trade road still there, our life on the grassland will not be the same. It won’t be too difficult. More importantly, the warehouse of the Tiger Flag is on the grassland. If one day we don’t want the Tiger Flag to continue to appear on the grassland, the goods in their warehouse can become ours at any time. .”
"So if Tiger Flag wants to build a warehouse, not only can I not object, but I also support it?" Su Nang frowned deeply.
Batu nodded and said: "This is also what Lin Dan Khan meant. This time I came back from Baicheng. Lin Dan Khan hopes that we can support the Tiger Flag here in Tumote. By then, we will not only get the benefits brought by the Tiger Flag, but also It can also take the opportunity to suppress the prestige of the fortune telling rabbit."
"What kind of prestige can the fortune-telling rabbit have?" Su Nang curled his lips disapprovingly.
In terms of seniority, he is the elder of Bushitu. He has always looked down on Bushitu, the Tumote Khan who was just waiting for death. From the bottom of his heart, he believed that Tumote was in the situation he is today because of Bushitu's incompetence. Because of him, if he were to be the Great Khan of Tumut, not only to restore the glory of Anda Khan, but at least to allow Tumut to end the internal disputes.
Batu said: "Now he is the Great Khan of Tumut. The herdsmen all recognize him as the Great Khan, and the Taijis of each tribe also recognize him as the Great Khan. So there is no accident. You have no chance to fight for your land." Mert’s sweat bit.”
Hearing this, Su Nang snorted coldly.
At that time, it was because all the tribes believed that Bu Shitu was the orthodox successor of Tumut Khan, Namu'er summoned many Taijis to fight against the Taijis of their three wives' lineage.
Batu smiled and said: "You don't have to be angry. When Lin Dan Khan moves west, it will be time for you to ascend to the throne of Tumut Khan."
"This sweat position should be mine." Su Nang said.
Batu said: "Don't worry, as long as Lin Dan Khan leads the army and Lin Dan Khan supports you, no one will dare to compete with you for Tumut's position, not even Ombuhong."
"Taiji, the wine you asked for is here."
Wo Lunkuo came in from outside, holding a wine jar in his arms.
The wine jar is a ten-pound wine jar. Looking at the seal and jar, you can tell at a glance that the wine is made by Han people.
Su Nang took the wine jar and opened the mud seal on it with his own hands, and a scent of wine wafted out.
Batu, who was sitting behind the low table next to him, sniffed it vigorously, his eyes lit up, and he said, "This is the sorghum wine from Tiger Character Flag, right?"
Su Nang nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, it is indeed the sorghum brewed by Tiger Character Flag."
As he said that, he picked up the wine jar and divided it between two wine bowls to pour wine into.
"This is strong wine, the most suitable wine for us Mongolians." Batu picked up a wine bowl and drank heavily.
He drank a bowl of wine in one breath, wiped a handful of wine on his beard with his other hand, and let out a wine burp in his mouth.
Su Nang picked up the wine jar, filled up Batu's wine bowl, and then turned to Wo Lunkuo and said, "Go and bring up the roasted leg of lamb."
"Yes." Wo Lunkuo agreed and retreated.
Batu picked up the wine bowl.
This time I didn’t rush to drink it, but put it under my nose and smelled it, and said: “The last time I drank this sorghum wine was in Baicheng. This wine tastes really enjoyable. This is the wine that our Mongolian warriors should drink. "
Su Nang picked up the wine bowl, took a sip, and said: "I still have a few jars there. I'll ask Wo Lunkuo to prepare two jars for you later. I don't have much of this wine. I heard that people from the Tiger Character Banner brew this. Wine is not easy. Every time you make wine, you have to waste a pot of wine to get such good wine."
At this time, Wo Lunkuo came in from outside, holding a silver plate with chopped mutton on it.
Batu said with a smile: "The quantity of good wine is naturally limited. If everyone can drink it, it won't be considered good wine."
Sorghum is brewed on the grasslands. For the Mongolians who like strong liquor, it is indeed a good wine. However, in the Ming Dynasty, it can only be regarded as an above-average wine. Many people who do not like strong liquor do not like sorghum brewing at all.
However, sorghum brew is made from sorghum, which has low cost and high profits, especially when sold to herdsmen. A five-pound jar of sorghum brew can be exchanged for a whole sheep. 11
