Haraholin is located at the southern foot of the Yanran Mountains, the upper reaches of the Erkhon River, and is located in the Hangai Mountains of Outer Mongolia.
Yanran Mountain is an ancient name. It is the place where Dou Xian, the general of the Eastern Han Dynasty, inscribed his achievements on stones after he defeated the Xiongnu. It is called "Yanran Le Gong". As for the Langjuxu Mountain where Huo Qubing "sealed the wolf to live in Xu", it is in Yanran Mountain.
the east side of.
At that time, the south of Yanran Mountain was called "Mobei" by the Han people, and the north of Yanran Mountain was called "Ultimate North", both of which were barbaric lands.
But for today's Mongols, this is the center of their territory.
In this era, it is also the center of the world.
Almost the entire Eurasian continent is shrouded in its power and influence.
Europe, Rome, Persia, Goryeo... missionaries, merchants, and envoys gathered here; tributes from various places and plundered treasures were constantly piled up here.
This year is the seventh year of Mengge Khan.
Since Kublai Khan was appointed to manage the Central Plains, he has printed banknotes, facilitated trade, organized official administration, built warehouses, built bridges and roads, established schools, promoted virtuous people, reduced poverty and deposed poverty, encouraged farmers with low taxes, and promoted business with low interest rates...
The Han Dynasty ruled the Han Dynasty by the Han Dynasty, and was called by the scholar-bureaucrats and princes of the Central Plains as "the one who can use scholars and practice the Chinese way is the master of China."
This aroused Meng Ge's suspicion, and people in the Khan's court began to accuse Kublai Khan one after another. The first crime was "to win people's hearts and overtake the master to replace him"; the second crime was "absolute power for personal gain and greed for wealth".
Meng Ge's dissatisfaction with Kublai Khan finally accumulated and he took concrete actions.
He sent his confidant Alan Dal'er to go south to investigate Jingzhao and Henan's financial fortune.
The so-called "Goukao" means "adjustment" or "big plan". It examines money, food, taxes, and based on the results, officials can be immediately held accountable and punished.
The Mongols' Goukao method was combined with methods learned from Persia. They could set up additional prisons, arrest officials, and flog them day and night. Therefore, they were very cruel and made people blush after hearing it.
Alan Da'er set off today and headed south to Jingzhao Mansion.
He sat astride the horse and started chatting with the deputy beside him.
"The Great Khan is very unhappy this year."
The strong man riding the horse next to him was named "Hundu Hai". Hearing this, he asked: "What's the matter?"
Alan replied: "Last year, the news that all the armies failed to attack the Song Dynasty, detailed news came back a while ago."
Hundu Hai said: "I heard that Wu Lianghetai died in the battle?"
"Yes, I have returned to the Heaven of Immortality." Alan Da'er held the reins with one hand and placed the other on his broad chest, sighing slightly.
"Why is there no movement at all? I'm not even sure if it's true." Hundu Hai said.
Alan answered: "Subotai's son, Uliang Hetai, was the Great Khan's chief of guard. The news of his death came together with the news of Saiin Khan's death."
Hunduhai sighed and said: "Saiyin Khan is only forty-eight years old. He was recalled by Changshengtian at such a young age."
The "Sain Khan" they said means "good sweat", and his name was "Batu".
Batu is the grandson of Genghis Khan and the legitimate second son of Genghis Khan's eldest son "Jochi".
Speaking of Jochi, there is an anecdote about Jochi's life experience... When Genghis Khan Temujin just got married, his wife was robbed, and when she was robbed back, she was already pregnant.
The name "Jochi" means "uninvited guest". Therefore, some people have always suspected that he was not the son of Genghis Khan.
But Genghis Khan always used his "broad mind" to give "those who dare to discriminate against women and heirs in this environment" a hard slap in the face every time, and even had the idea of letting Jochi inherit the throne.
In the end, Jochi gave up the Khan position to Ogedei to inherit.
During the Mongolian Second Western Expedition, Jochi's son Batu served as the commander-in-chief.
At that time, the eldest sons of each clan participated in the expedition. Ogedai Khan's eldest son Yougui and Tuo Lei's eldest son Meng Ge both participated in the expedition, so it was called the "Eldest Son's Western Expedition".
In other words, Batu once commanded Yougui and Meng Ge as the two Great Khans, and he even made Meng Ge the Great Khan.
Subutai, the father of Wuliang Hetai, was the former military commander under Batu during the Western Expedition.
After Batu conquered the west, he established the Golden Horde, which was the largest vassal state in the Great Mongolia.
He is honest and generous. He is often humiliated because of his father's life experience, but he often laughs it off. He never hesitates to reward his subordinates and does not kill innocent people indiscriminately. He is respected as "Sain Khan".
Therefore, the news of Uliang Hetai and Batu's death came at the same time, and they cannot be compared at all.
"Saiin Khan was recalled by Changshengtian, and the Great Khan was very sad." Alan replied, "Brother Biel inherited the Golden Horde, but... Brother Biel did not respect the Great Khan as much as Saiin Khan did."
Hun Duhai didn't know what to say about this kind of thing, so he just looked back at Hala and Lin.
He also felt a little sad because the Great Mongolia lost a "good" Khan of the vassal.
They were only vaguely aware of it, but they didn't dare to think about it at all... The great Mongolian country established by Genghis Khan and his descendants seemed to have vaguely opened up a little bit of division with the death of Batu.
prelude.
…
"So, as soon as the spring started this year, Khan was in a bad mood." Alan Da'er added, "The death of Saiin Khan is part of it, as well as Kublai Khan."
"Yes, after so many years, the Song Dynasty has never been destroyed."
Alan answered: "As the brother of the Great Khan, he is far less loyal to the Great Khan than Saiin Khan."
Hunduhai asked: "This time, we went south just to deal with Kublai Khan?"
"Let's look for evidence first." Alan Da'er murmured and said, "What did I want to say just now... By the way, last year, all the armies attacked Song Dynasty and failed.
In addition to conquering Shu, the Great Khan also ordered Tachaer and Tiligai to lead troops to attack the Huaihe River in the Southern Song Dynasty. When they arrived at Li Fen's territory in Shandong, Tachaer robbed everywhere, but was tampered with by Li Fen and lost his supplies.
As a result, there was no movement at all.”
Hundu Hai said: "Kublai Khan indulged these Han princes too much."
"The Great Khan is really angry this year." Alan Da'er added: "Sain Khan is dead, Kublai Khan is disobedient, and the attack on Song Dynasty is not going well."
He seemed very nagging, repeating this sentence over and over again.
But everyone else could see that he really cared about Meng Ge's feelings.
"Then let's go south to Goukao this time and deal with Kublai Khan ruthlessly to vent our anger on the Khan."
Alan Da'er narrowed his eyes and said: "No matter how much Kublai Khan is dealt with, he will not be able to destroy the Song Dynasty immediately. I think the Khan's intention... is to conquer the Song Dynasty himself."
"Personally conquered?"
"Yes, the Great Khan has already thought of conquering it himself."
Alan Da'er couldn't give any more reasons, but he knew that Meng Ge Khan needed to destroy the Song Dynasty as soon as possible to intimidate Biel Ge's Golden Horde and Kublai Khan's Monan.
There is also a greater ambition, to rule all the lands in the world...
From the time when kings including Batu supported Meng Ge, when the throne of Khan was transferred from the Wokuotai line to the Tuo Lei line, to Meng Ge ruthlessly suppressing all the rebels, and now Batu is dead...
The foreshadowing of the split of the Great Mongolia seemed to have been laid early.
It was like a "click" sound deep underground that no one could hear.
But everything that happened in the far southwest corner seemed to have nothing to do with these.
The little people are still working tirelessly. Their small actions, compared with Mengge Khan's extremely lofty ambitions, are like the light of fireflies under the bright moon...
Dali Kingdom.
Dharmajie Temple at the junction of Shanchan and Qujing.
Yang Yuan walked out of the hall and raised his head to look at the sky. The sky and the earth were vast, and there was no trace of the Song army at all.
Sometimes he feels that... he will never be able to catch up with him.
Luo Bo tribe.
First, his hands were tied with ropes, and he was pulled by a Song soldier. He walked deep into the mountains with one foot deep and one foot shallow, with a very sad expression.
He also wanted to resist, but he couldn't use the strength in his body.
Ashayu would come and give him some medicinal powder every half an hour, making him dizzy.
"You stinky bitch... When I escape, I will ride on you... and knock you over hard..." Ye first cursed in a low voice in Mongolian.
A Luoyu couldn't understand it, but he could feel his ferocity and lewdness.
She didn't say anything, but opened a small wooden box and pressed it on Ye Xian's neck.
He first felt something sting his flesh, and then seemed to... get in.
…
"I still have use for this person, so don't kill him."
Li Xia saw Asha's actions and just said this.
"He won't die soon, he can live for a year or two... Hades, is this his destiny?"
"Yes." Li Xia said and said no more about the matter.
Originally, he planned to hand it over to Gao Qiong first and let it go, but he insisted on offending Asha by talking too much. Just take it seriously... that's his destiny.
In this way, the Qingfu Army entered the territory of the Luo Po Tribe.
Pu Zezhi was also sneaking quietly, forcing his way into Jianmen Pass little by little.
"Jianmen Pass is extremely dangerous, but the surrounding mountains can be circumvented. The Mongolian army did not expect us to dare to come. Therefore, the first priority in this battle is 'secret'. The march must be secret and the city pass can be captured in one fell swoop."
I will personally lead the army, without any baggage, along the Jialing River Gorge and around to the north of Jianmen Pass. On May 17, I will attack the city with you from north to south."
"No! Marshal Pu, you are marching under Wang Dechen's nose. It's too dangerous!"
"Afraid of danger? How about fighting? I have made up my mind, fight..."
