Chapter 93 Darkness into a warehouse
For the Ulutus tribe at present, the westward journey has become the top priority considered by the middle and upper classes. Because if the situation in Eastern Mongolia is completely stabilized and completely become the private ownership of the Ulutus tribe, it is indispensable to gain the recognition of the Khanate.
Even though the performance of the Ulutus tribe had made most of the tribes feel powerful during the Battle of Eastern Mongolia, the attitude of the Khanate still made them uneasy!
After all, it was Genghis Khan who unified the Mongolian grasslands and swept across the Daxia/Dajin and the Western Regions! Under the rule of this rare grassland Khan in the ages, no one dared to face the majesty of provoking him!
Even the eagle ignited by the Ulutus tribe cannot compete with this Khan who is already in his twilight years!
This is no longer a consensus of the Ulutus tribe, but a consensus of the entire Mongolian grassland.
Ulutus himself also understood that he has not yet publicly had the strength to play against this Khan. Now he still needs to endure it! As long as there are a few years of peaceful development and full wings, even if he breaks apart, he will not be unable to protect himself.
Therefore, when he announced that he would go west to see the Khan in person, the lower classes of the tribe were actually relieved. Because this at least showed a posture! A posture of Ulutus still surrendering to the Khan.
Even if the sweat is angry in the future, he will only be angry at their kings, not ordinary people like them. Although this idea is a bit rebellious in the eyes of those upper class Na Yan, this is the mentality of the common people in this era.
They only know how to surrender to the strong, and they only know that it is better to live than to die well. The idea of being loyal to the monarch and going through fire and water for the monarch does not exist at all. Only a few tribes who started their family with Ulutus may have the idea of going through fire and water in the face of kindness.
The middle and upper class Yan would worry that Wulutus would encounter an unexpected situation for his own interests. Only a few people who know the inside story would act calmly about it.
Quandong, the chief officer of the Cao Jing, was the calm man. The only person in the Ulutus tribe was recognized and named the left deputy envoy of the Cao Cao and the director of the Religious Department, Song Defang, was worried about the Ulutus's imminent journey westward.
He is now not only responsible for the missionary affairs of Taoism in the Eastern Mongolian grasslands, but also helps to organize the Taoist alchemy techniques, so as to cooperate with the Weapons and Firearms yards of the Ulutus tribe to develop more powerful combat weapons.
Moreover, compared with religious matters, cooperation in weapons is more important to Ulutus.
Song Defang also always remembered what Ulutus said in the past, which was to change the despicable status of the Han people like cattle and sheep. His master chose the hero Genghis Khan, but he believed even more that the eagle in front of him who could not fully flap his wings and fly high.
Because from the attitude of the Ulutus tribe in promoting Chinese dialect and Chinese characters and choosing some Chinese systems, this young eagle is closer to the Han people. Moreover, there are many Han people in high positions in the tribe.
If he replaces the status of that eagle in the future, the status of the Han people can also be greatly improved.
Now that he came to Quandong, he wanted to discuss with him how to dispel Ulutus's idea of traveling west.
"Haha! Master Song is too worried! The king has made arrangements for this matter, so we don't need to worry!" After hearing Song Defang's doubts, Quan Dong smiled and drank a sip of milk tea, and said with a voice to comfort him.
"Brother Quan, you know that this trip is so risky. Even though the king had already made arrangements for this, if we were worried about life at that time, how could we solve the situation?" Song Defang said with concern.
"The king started from a small tribe with less than a hundred households, and he had to be careful every step. This matter was risky, do you think the king would not know? I am not convenient to say some things, but you will know them in a few days." Some words were stopped! As a senior member of the Ulutus division, Quandong knew the inside story but could not say it casually. If it was spread to the secret guard, it would be a bad thing.
Song Defang was not a fool, and immediately peeked into some profound meanings from his hints. But seeing that Quandong was unwilling to say more, it was hard to ask again.
When I returned to my residence, a craftsman from the weapons workshop came to me and said that the newly forged iron armor always had a low success rate and it was easy to refine scrap iron.
At this time, Taoist priests were all chemistry experts because they were obsessed with alchemy. Before Song Defang joined the church, his family opened a blacksmith shop. Therefore, he was also deeply influenced by the iron smelting.
The so-called "to learn from other things"! Although iron smelting and alchemy are different, they both pay attention to the ratio of ingredients. After Song Defang joined Taoism, he was also a good alchemy master.
Of course, Ulutus never took his elixir. Although it made him feel a little regretful after all, it still couldn't hide his experience and talent in alchemy.
Nowadays, the various refining and proportionings of the Ulutus division often invite him to be a consultant, so that he doesn't care much about his essential missionary work.
When he arrived at the workshop, Song Defang understood the whole story, it was a little difficult for a while. However, he accidentally got a piece of news, which made his doubts disappear.
Because the manager of the Weapons said that the military officials have been asking for an increase in the output of weapons recently.
You should know that since the war ended, we should have been recuperating now. But now, the abnormal increase in weapon output can only indicate that there is another war to start.
"At this time, the king claimed to go west, could it be--" He felt frightened when he thought of a terrible result. But after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was impossible at this time. In the end, the forces in the west were not something that the current Ulutus tribe could compete with! If he took the initiative to provoke, wouldn't it be a stone attack with an egg?
If it is not for this reason, then there is only one possibility!
His eyes crossed the workshop, the vast grassland, the towering and tall Daxinganling Mountains, and went south!
At the same time, as if he was feeling something. Halstin, who was having a great conversation with the Privy Councilor of the Great Zhen Kingdom, couldn't help but float to the distant north. The various efforts he made in Nanjing in recent days have already met expectations on the contrary!
At least the Great Jin Kingdom is not worried that the Mongols will go south now.
And after knowing Ulutus's followers, they also agreed to cooperate with Ulutus's troops to fight against the power of the Khanate. And if the Khanate takes action against any force on both sides, the other side will have to send troops to support them unconditionally.
