Taiji, the leaders of several tribes, were all summoned to the sweat tent.
Everyone sits behind a separate low table. On the table is a plate with some mutton, next to it there are wine bottles and utensils for drinking.
No matter how hungry there is no leader, these people are all tribal leaders, and no one who lacks a mouthful of food will be missing their mouthful of food.
"The Great Khan is so anxious to find us all. Could it be that he has found food?"
Among the leaders, Colonso, the most impatient, could not help but be the first to ask.
The other leaders on the seats also looked at Hutuktu Khan.
They are not short of food for the time being, but the herdsmen below have stopped. If they can no longer find food, the herdsmen will leave and look for food elsewhere.
Once too many herders leave, it will weaken the strength of their own tribe, which they do not want to see.
On the grassland, those who are weak are waiting to be annexed by other tribes.
"I will solve the food problem." Hutuktu Khan first reassured these people, and then said, "I have invited you all here because I have something important to tell you."
Everyone present pricked up their ears.
Colonso asked directly: "What on earth is going on?"
"Namu Zhong, tell me!" Hutuktu Khan turned his head and gestured to Namu Zhong.
Several tribal leaders in the sweat tent knew that Namu Zhong went to the Tiger Banner camp to look for food. At this time, when they saw Hutuktu Khan pushing Namu Zhong out, the leader, who had a quick reaction, immediately realized The next thing I want to talk about is probably related to the Tiger Flag.
"Concubine, please tell me what's going on. Is the Tiger Flag not willing to give us food?" Colonso asked Namu Zhong.
Namuzhong's eyes fell on Colonso's face, she opened her red lips and said, "I have met General Zhang of the Tiger Flag. They promised to give us food to alleviate our food shortage problem, but they put forward a condition."
As she spoke, her voice stopped.
His eyes fell on the several tribal leaders present.
"I've finished my words! What are the conditions? I have to finish my words completely." Colonso was confused by Namu Zhong's half-sentences. His buttocks were as if he were sitting on nails, and he was twisting and turning on his seat. go.
Although the others did not press the question like Colonso, their eyes revealed the same meaning.
Regarding vital interests, everyone wants to know the conditions offered by Tiger Flag.
Namuzhong didn't want to whet the appetite of these people, and said directly: "The condition is very simple, that is, let the Great Khan live in Qingcheng with you, and learn from Ombuhong of the Tumut Department."
Ombuhun has long become a joke among left-wing Mongolians.
The majestic leader of the right-wing Mongolian Tumote Tribe, in the end even lost his ancestral foundation and could only live like a prisoner under the wings of the Tiger Flag.
His name and deeds are known to everyone among the leaders of the ministries.
"That's what happened. Let's talk about it!" Hutuktu Khan said to the tribal leaders in front of him.
Snapped!
Colonso, who was sitting in his seat, slapped his palms heavily on the low table and said angrily: "The people in the Tiger Flag are bullying others too much, Khan, we must not imitate Ombuhong."
"Yes, you can't imitate Ombuhon."
"It was because we were helping them that our cattle and sheep were robbed, and the Tiger Flag is responsible for this."
"Yes, let them be responsible. If they don't give us food, we will steal their food. We can't give them any advantage."
Led by Colonso, several other tribal leaders started shouting.
They were asked to hand over their tribes and move to Qingcheng to retire, but no one was willing to accept it.
"Everyone's idea is good, but don't forget that the tiger-character flag just drove away Huang Taiji and the army he brought." Namuzhong reminded.
The shouting tribal leaders immediately fell silent.
Hutuktu Khan said at this time: "I have brought you all here to discuss where we should go next. As for the Tiger Flag, after we solve the food problem, there will be many opportunities to seek revenge from the Tiger Flag. "
When Na Mu Zhong heard this, his eyes showed disgust.
I thought that the other party had summoned several tribal leaders and really wanted to start a war with the Tiger Character Banner, but I didn't expect that it was a strong external force but a weak one. They only shouted a few words about revenge on the Tiger Character Banner, but when it came time to take action, they withered.
"We all obey the instructions of the Great Khan." A mature and solemn tribal leader stood up and said.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the other leaders stopped talking, and even Colonso became silent.
Hutuktu Khan pondered for a moment and said: "I have decided to go to Mobei, and the Khalkha tribe is also in Mobei. If you have no objections, go back and collect the entrances of each tribe, and we will set off in a day or two."
"I have no objection to going to Mobei, but how to solve the problem of food and grass? It's a long way from here to Mobei. There are so many of us, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to maintain the army to reach Mobei just by relying on some small tribes along the way." Nian The elder tribal leader said to Hutuktu Khan.
"Yes, without the cattle and sheep, and without food, the horses will starve and lose weight on such a long journey." Colonso complained in a low voice.
Although the others were speechless, they could tell that they had the same idea as Colonso.
Hutuktu Khan frowned and looked at Namuzhong subconsciously.
Na Muzhong naturally understood what he meant and immediately shook her head.
At present, the only one that can solve the food problem is the Tiger Flag, but with just the upper lip touching the lower lip, it is impossible for the Tiger Flag to give them such a large amount of food.
"That's it. You go back and make preparations. We will leave for Mobei in the next two days." Hutuktu Khan saw that he could not count on Namu Zhong, so he made a decision forcefully.
Thinking that he is the Khan King on the grassland, others can only obey him honestly even if they are dissatisfied, otherwise they will betray him as the Khan King.
Na Mu Zhong on the side was stunned.
I never expected that Hutuktu Khan would do this, regardless of the opinions of other leaders.
The first thought that came to my mind was 'It's over'.
These leaders are not the herdsmen below or the personal guards around the Khan.
When the interests are aligned, the Great Khan is naturally the Great Khan, but when the interests are inconsistent, no one can predict what these leaders will do.
Especially at this time, what the Great Khan should do is to appease these leaders, rather than show off the power of King Khan.
"We obey the will of King Khan." The elder tribal leader stood up, held his chest with one hand and bowed down to salute Hutuktu Khan.
At this time, other tribal leaders also made the same move as him.
Hutuktu Khan, who was sitting in the middle, had a look of satisfaction on his face.
He was obviously very satisfied with the respect these people showed him.
Namuzhong's red lips moved a few times, trying to say something to the older tribal leader, but she swallowed back the words that came to her lips several times.
Because she knew the Great Khan and knew what the Great Khan had decided. Anyone who wanted to refute it directly would not only anger the Great Khan, but would also be unable to change the outcome.
