"Duo'er, what are you talking about? Your husband-in-law wants to split up my Tumote Department? He also wants to take me to the capital and put me under house arrest?"
Tugel looked at Randall in disbelief, surprised and angry.
"Brother, my husband is also for the permanent peaceful coexistence of our Tumut tribe and the Han people. My husband said that my brother went to the capital and enjoyed the same treatment as the princes and generals of the Han people. The title of Marquis of Shunyi can also be hereditary.
Go down."
Seeing that her elder brother had such a violent reaction, Randall quickly explained.
"Fart, the Han people are the most cunning. That little emperor is obviously going to burn bridges and openly betray his allies."
Tugel couldn't listen at all and cursed loudly, his face full of anger, obviously unwilling to give in.
"Brother, please keep your voice down..." Randall was also surprised and quickly reminded her, and then began to persuade.
Under Randall's persuasion, Tugel gradually calmed down and saw the current situation clearly.
Now the Tumut tribe has no ability to resist, and they have no choice.
If he didn't agree, the little emperor would probably kill him and all the senior officials of the Tumote tribe without hesitation, and then directly canonize those ordinary tribesmen.
If in the past, the emperor had killed him, the Shunyi King of the Tumut tribe, and the leaders of various tribes, it would definitely have aroused resistance from the entire Tumut tribe.
But now with Lan Duo'er and the five thousand tribesmen he brought to the Ming Dynasty to appease him, the little emperor could really bypass him and the tribal leaders and directly conquer the ordinary people of the Tumote tribe.
Thinking of this, Tugel also felt great hatred. He should not have married his sister to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the first place, let alone let him bring five thousand warriors with him.
At this moment, Tugel felt that he had been tricked by his father, and that he should not have completely fallen to the Ming Dynasty in the first place.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on the fortune telling, because according to the past traditions and temperament of the Han people, as long as the Tumote tribe wholeheartedly submitted to the Ming Dynasty, not only would they receive huge benefits and rewards, but they would not have to worry about the Han people bullying them.
Because the Han emperors and officials looked down upon their pastures, cattle and sheep, and the leather of war horses could be traded, there was no conflict of interest at all.
What's more, since ancient times, only the nomadic tribes of the steppe have broken the treaty and invaded the Han people. There has never been a Han Dynasty that has taken the initiative to break the treaty and refused to live in harmony.
It was precisely because of this that Bu Shutu made a desperate move to defect to the Ming Dynasty without any precautions. Not only did he marry his daughter off, but he also married off five thousand warriors.
However, the emperor Zhu Cixi had a completely different thinking from the previous Han emperors. This is probably something that the fortune teller would never have thought of until his death.
"Duo'er, even if your husband-in-law wants to split up our Tumut tribe, why do we still want to move the whole family out of the Hetao?"
"My husband said it was to protect the Yellow River, but I don't know the specifics. Brother, I know you are not willing to give in, but even if my husband does not take you to the capital, without the support of the court, the tribal leaders may not be there after you return.
I’m convinced, instead of scheming and fighting for survival all day long on the grassland from now on, why not go to the capital to enjoy the happiness..."
Randall said at the end, she was good at tempting, but she had no choice. She also understood a little bit about her husband's temper. If she couldn't convince her eldest brother today, even if her husband didn't take action directly because of his reputation, he would encourage and support other leaders to get rid of his eldest brother.
Fall, this is what he doesn't want to see.
She couldn't convince her husband, so she could only try her best to convince her eldest brother.
"Duo'er, does your husband really want to trick me into taking me to the capital to kill me?"
Tugel stared straight at his sister, obviously not trusting Zhu Cixi at all.
"Brother, you can rest assured on this. My husband has already promised me that he will confer upon you the title of Marquis of Shunyi in front of hundreds of civil and military officials in the Huangji Palace. You will be hereditary and will live with the country!"
"Hmph, in addition to killing Hu Kou, didn't he also crown me King of Shunyi and be willing to never invade with my Tumote tribe?" Tugel snorted coldly, obviously he no longer believed in the Ming Dynasty's plan.
"Brother, this is different. Huangji Palace is the most sacred and solemn palace for the Han people..."
Ran Duo'er quickly gave him some popular science. The significance of the canonization in Huangji Palace was far inferior to that of the so-called alliance on the grassland.
"So, we should have formed an alliance in accordance with the traditions of the Han people. Then the little emperor would not dare to betray his promise, right?" Tugel was a little doubtful and regretted that he was too hasty in forming an alliance, and even more so when his sister married him.
It's too direct.
"Um!"
Randall nodded helplessly.
"Okay, now that things have come to this, what can I do, brother? I hope your husband-in-law can keep his word this time."
Tugel took a breath, and then said helplessly.
Seeing that her eldest brother was finally willing to compromise, Randall also breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhu Cixiang also breathed a sigh of relief. Although the entire Tumote tribe was now meat on the chopping block, he actually did not want to bear the reputation of treachery and resort to violence. It was good that Tugel was willing to compromise.
After all, once violence is used, no matter what excuses he makes, he cannot cover up his treacherous behavior as an emperor by crossing the river and destroying the bridge. Once this happens, it will definitely affect the values of all Han people in the entire Ming Dynasty.
Because the Han people of this era, both scholars and ordinary people, were deeply influenced by Confucianism and had a very strong sense of justice and moral values, unlike the West where pure interests came first.
The next day, Zhu Cihong summoned Tugel and dozens of leaders of the Tumote tribe together and announced his decision.
First of all, the entire Tumut tribe was moved to the Liaohe area. The Ming Dynasty will manage the entire Tumut tribe according to the lord system of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Ten larger leaders will be canonized as earls, more than 20 medium leaders will be canonized as viscounts, and the remaining more than 30 small leaders will be canonized as barons. The titles of all lords are hereditary and will be based on the titles.
A piece of territory and pasture is divided into large and small areas.
The Ming Dynasty established an Andong Protectorate, which was at the same level as the provinces and was directly under the jurisdiction of the central government.
The jurisdiction includes the entire vast grassland area east of Zhangjiakou, north of the Great Wall, and south of the Yinshan Mountains, and even includes the Horqin tribe in the north.
Each lord, big or small, does not need to pay taxes and has absolute autonomy over the area under his jurisdiction. Attacks between lords are not allowed, and any conflicts must be reported to the Protectorate for resolution.
Anyone who dares to attack others without authorization will have their homes confiscated and their clans exterminated, regardless of the reason.
The only obligation of each lord is that once the emperor recruits them, they must lead warriors to fight for the emperor.
The count will provide one thousand cavalry, the viscount will provide five hundred cavalry, and the baron will provide two hundred cavalry. The horses and weapons will be provided by yourself.
There is no military pay in normal times, and military pay is only available when going to war. Rewards and death benefits are also different from those of the Ming army.
