Mu Huali understood instantly. He frowned and glared at Shiji Hutulu angrily: "You are the eyes and ears of the Great Khan. No one can violate your words! If there is anyone who is not loyal to the Great Khan, you should punish him."
They put to death, they punished! Why didn’t you do it?”
"It has nothing to do with the loss of luck!" Genghis Khan raised his hand and pressed Mu Huali's shoulder.
"Who is it? Who is it?" Mu Huali blushed and asked a few questions, then looked at Huo Erchi who was fanning about fanning the fire: "Can't Huo Erchi punish those people? Khan, I
willing……"
Genghis Khan pulled Mu Huali and asked him to relax his clenched fists and calm down.
He opened his mouth and said to Shi Ji Hu Tu Hu a little tiredly: "Tell me about it!"
"As commanded."
Today, Genghis Khan is recognized as a powerful commander by countless people on the grassland.
In his more than twenty years of fighting, he had countless powerful enemies.
From the initial battles of the Merqiti tribe entrenched in Bulachuan, to the Taichiwu tribe, which was known as the strongest among the vast number of people; from the fierce Tatar tribe who dared to confront Dajin, to the same beggars as him
Department, but as a nobleman of the long branch, the Lord Erqi Department.
Then go to Hedajin, Sanzhiwu, Duoerbian, Hongjila and other countless tribes, and even the warrior among the warriors, Jamukha Khan, and Tuoli Khan of the Kelei tribe, whom Genghis Khan respected as his father. These enemies may
They may be heroic, powerful, prestigious, or widely supported, but they were all defeated and died at the hands of Genghis Khan.
For thousands of years, the grassland peoples have had very little civilized governance and even fewer written historical records. However, relying only on oral memories, every Mongolian can know that since ancient times, no one has been able to rise from nothing like Genghis Khan.
He rose to the top and ruled thousands of miles of grassland.
So there is no doubt that Genghis Khan is a powerful commander unprecedented in ancient times.
Every Mongolian thinks this way, except Genghis Khan himself.
He knew very well that his archery skills were far inferior to Zhebei's, his bravery was far inferior to Zhelemen's, and his decision-making in battle was not as good as Subotai's... He could give a hundred such comparisons.
Since he gathered together, every capable subordinate he has promoted has one or more abilities that far exceed his own. The Mu Huali in front of him looks like this, and the great shaman who is muttering a mantra is suddenly
Erchi, the same is true.
The reason why he was able to achieve countless victories and unify the grasslands was not due to Genghis Khan's own strength, but because he was able to do his best to gather the strength of everyone and condense ten, hundreds, or even thousands of people into steel.
When Genghis Khan was first elected as Khan, he abandoned the original tribal organization. He appointed Borshu, Zhuochihesar, Beligutai and others as leaders, and assigned them to be responsible for bows and arrows, swords, horses, etc.
Ten kinds of positions were organized to form a powerful team managed by his close confidant Nak'er and directly under Genghis Khan himself, and strict military discipline was used to restrain them.
In subsequent wars, Genghis Khan reiterated discipline and strict laws again and again. He strictly followed every order issued and ordered everyone who followed him to obey.
For thousands of years, the grassland peoples have been the best knights and hunters, but the natural sloppiness of the nomads has restricted them and prevented them from becoming the best warriors. The noble leaders of various tribes lacked tenacity and were selfish, and even more
It's not about building the best army.
This has been the case for countless powerful powers that have risen and fallen, from the Xiongnu, Xianbei, to the Khitan, and it seems that it will be the same in the future.
But Genghis Khan was determined to change this situation.
He used strict laws to punish the wanton behavior of his subordinates; he used fair and just control to confront the greed and selfishness of his subordinates; he used shamans to repeatedly convey the instructions of Changshengtian to guide the hesitant people; he used continuous recruitment of elites to strengthen his own strength.
To suppress the imminent ambitions of various ministries, and to use successive victories and unprecedented generous rewards to drive the majesty of Genghis Khan deeply into the hearts of every warrior.
From the repeated defeats in youth to the devastating battles in middle age, is it because Genghis Khan himself is stronger and better at fighting than before?
of course not.
That's because, as time went by, Genghis Khan's unremitting efforts bore fruit, and the transformation and tempering of the grassland peoples bore fruit. The army he led was more disciplined and stronger than the tribes gathered from other Mongolian tribes.
If you follow the instructions, you will be braver and more tenacious; as for victory, it will be within easy reach.
Genghis Khan knew this process very well and knew where the Mongolian army's victory came from.
However, many Mongolian nobles did not understand it, and even if many people understood it, they secretly opposed it.
Because the process of Genghis Khan transforming and tempering the Mongolian nation was also the process of disrupting the old order on the grasslands and depriving the old tribal leaders of their privileges.
In this process, many people who were favored by Genghis Khan and those who were rewarded for meritorious service in the war suddenly rose up and took control of power; countless tribes were dismantled and broken up, and the status of the old leaders was not recognized, and they relied instead on the thousands of people granted by Genghis Khan.
The position of one household or one hundred households is even lower than that of the former slaves.
Genghis Khan became less and less like the leader of a nomadic tribe, and gradually transformed into an emperor who controlled everything.
Can they accept it?
impossible.
Even if all ordinary Mongolians think that Genghis Khan is Haidongqing who flew here clutching the sun and moon, representing a person blessed by immortality, the only one recognized by these tribal leaders is Temujin of the Qiyan tribe.
Temujin's position as Khan was elected by the leaders of various ministries. The leaders could recommend him or others! He was the great khan who also defeated the Mongol Uluths, but he was not an emperor who dominated everything. He had never appeared on the grasslands.
An emperor who can dominate everything!
Therefore, during the rise of Mongolia, the struggle between many people and Genghis Khan continued. But they did obey Genghis Khan's military orders and relied on the traditions of the grassland tribes for thousands of years. Even Genghis Khan himself
, and we cannot break with them because of this. Many conflicts have always been hidden under the water, and outsiders have no way of knowing.
But Muhuali and Shijihutulu were both close associates of Genghis Khan, and they knew it very well.
They also saw many clues that were exposed.
When the feudal families were divided into thousands of households, Chi Laowen, who was closest to Genghis Khan, actually received nothing.
Many tribesmen who had fought against Genghis Khan had obviously been divided into pieces, but Wang Gur, Toolinle and others re-established them and organized them into thousands of households under the banner of Genghis Khan.
Another example is the son of old man Monlik, Kuokuochu. As the shaman leader, he is known as "Tieb Tengger". He has special trust from Genghis Khan and has made great contributions in maintaining the authority of the Great Khan. But he suddenly pointed the finger at Genghis Khan.
brothers Temuge and Khasar, and then broke with Genghis Khan... Is there no one behind this to fan the flames?
The rise of Genghis Khan could not take care of everyone's interests, and no matter how much the Mongolian army gained, some people felt it was not enough and felt aggrieved.
At the beginning of this year, after they withdrew their troops from the Central Plains and returned to the grasslands, some thousands of Nayan households suffered losses but did not reap any benefits, so they complained all day long, saying that their cattle and sheep had died, the grass was bitter, and their carts and tents were broken.
Now, I will no longer be able to follow the Great Khan on expeditions.
Some people also participated in the two major attacks in the Year of the Sheep and the Year of the Dog. Under the leadership of Genghis Khan, they plundered countless money, silk, and materials from the Central Plains people, and also took away countless male and female slaves.
As a result, they were fascinated by these harvests, immersed in them all day long, and drank and reveled every day. As a result, they changed from eagles and hounds to fat pigs in a few months. They also told their subordinates: All this is enough
, those gold and silver can’t be used up in a thousand years on the grassland, so what else are you trying to do?
Having said this, Shi Ji suddenly bowed slightly to Genghis Khan.
"Do you think this is stupid?" A sarcastic sneer appeared on Genghis Khan's face:
"Is there any reason in this world that you have to give something to me? Is there any reason in this world that you have to eat it when you encounter it?"
"No!"
"In this world, is there any way to not hold a sword and let others offer cattle, sheep, and beautiful wives and concubines? Is there any way to not ride on a horse and gallop, but to protect oneself from the hands of the enemy and to protect oneself from continuous blessings?
?”
"No!"
"So I came here personally to fight and tell them this truth!"
Genghis Khan's prestige came from endless wars. So some people thought that as long as they delayed the start of the war, they could hinder Genghis Khan's process of concentrating power. But they were completely wrong.
Genghis Khan hung his legs, stood up and stood in front of the blazing bonfire. He stared at the billowing smoke column and said solemnly: "I am the Great Khan who also defeated the Mongol Uluse, but I am not only the Khan of the Mongols, but also the Wanggu and Xi people.
, Khitan people, fearful of the Wuer people, and even the sweat of the Han people. Since those Mongolian thousands of households are exhausted, this time, there is no need for them. I brought Qixue Jun and his sons from the grassland, and also others
The Protector, the subordinates of Arsilan Khan, summoned more than 20,000 horses from Peiping King Zhenguo, Shimo Ming'an, Yelu Ahai and others along the way to go south one after another, that's enough!"
Mu Huali asked tentatively: "Does the Great Khan want to attack the Jin Kingdom again? In that case, please allow me to call my subordinates from Han to discuss together in front of the Great Khan's tent..."
"We want to attack the Kingdom of Jin again, but there is no need to go that deep."
Genghis Khan stretched out his palm and waved the smoke column, letting the smoke billow and roll up in all kinds of gestures.
"Yelu Ahai and Shimo Ming'an have long told me that the siege equipment made by Han craftsmen can destroy city walls like tearing pieces of paper. You have already made it, which is good. This time, we will slowly
Take your time. Destroy the enemy near Zhongdu, and then capture Zhongdu. I heard that the big city is where all the Jurchen wealth gathers. I will reward all the spoils to the soldiers; however, I did not participate.
The fighting Qianhu will give nothing."
While Mu Huali was still meditating, Genghis Khan asked the shaman who remained silent in a joking tone: "Will it go well this time?"
Huoerchi said respectfully: "The will of Changshengtian has always been so clear. No matter what kind of enemy we face, the Great Khan will definitely win."
