Chapter 782 Wuluth

In the Mongolian language, the Great Mongolian Kingdom is "Yeke Mongolia Ulus", "Yeke" means "big", and "Ulus" not only means fiefdom, but also means "country".

It can be seen from this word that Ulus is a semi-independent feudal state.

Kuoduan was originally capable of becoming the Great Khan of Great Mongolia, at least he could establish a complete Ulus.

If the four sons born to Genghis Khan's eldest wife are the four pillars of the Khanate's court, then among Wokuotai's sons, only Kuodan can be regarded as a pillar.

It's a pity that Wo Kuotai only wanted to pass on the throne to the frail and sickly Kuochu. Guiyu, who is addicted to wine and sex, cannot extricate himself.

Kuoduan himself was also sick, and Empress Naimazhen excluded him from the Khan heirs on the grounds that he was "dying sick", and he did die of illness when he was only in his forties.

The Khan position of the Great Mongolia is destined to fall in the Tuolei line.

It is obvious that the descendants of Tuo Lei are obviously better than the descendants of Wo Kuotai.

It's not just that the sweat bit is lost.After Kuo Duan died of illness, his descendants couldn't even keep Ulus Si.

This piece of Ulus is actually very large. Kuoduan once ruled the entire Xixia homeland, Tubo, Longxi, Guanzhong, and Western Regions.

But after his eldest son Mieli Jixie inherited the throne of Xiliang King, the fief has been shrinking under Mengge's pressure.

Last year Ali Boke escaped from Hara and Lin, and Kublai Khan gained the upper hand in the battle for the position of Khan. He has begun to set up Zhongxing and other roads to directly control and manage the old Xixia land, and sent a general to take over the post of commander in chief of the West Route Army...

This looks bad, but Mieli Jixie doesn't think it's a bad thing.

Unlike his ambitious cousin Haidu, he just wants to enjoy life as the king of the golden family.

Kublai Khan promised to keep his benefice, which means that every five households would offer him a catty of silk, which was enough to support Mieli Jixie to continue his extravagance.

Mieli Jixie also sits in the Hexi Corridor, and Semu business travels to and from the Western Regions, Hetao, and Kaiping, which can bring him huge benefits.

The so-called "Wo Tuo" is a trading practice in which Mongolian nobles provide capital and entrust Semu people to trade gold and silver jewelry, precious furs, and gold brocade and satin, and collect high interest rates from them.

The Mongolian kings, princesses, and concubines all set up their own offices, and the annual interest is 24%. The next year, the interest is converted to the original, and the interest is restored. One ingot of silver can add up to [-] ingots in ten years, while the Mongolian Khan The court stipulated that if Wotu was stolen, the local people would pay for it.

Therefore, it is called "golden rope" by people.

In a word, as long as there are fiefs and wotu, no matter how extravagant and extravagant Mieli Jixie and his brothers and grandchildren are, even if they desperately give birth to sons who are extravagant and extravagant, their wealth will only grow forever and crazily .

In addition, Mieli Jixie also possessed a hereditary prince, countless exorcists, and a huge mountain of wealth that was plundered from Sichuan when Kuoduan slaughtered Shu.

……

October 23.

"Prince Zong, General Haranshu is here."

Mie Liji raised his head from his drunken eyes, grunted a couple of times indifferently, smacked his lips, and said, "Let him in."

He leaned against a complete bearskin and allowed the maids to sober him up, and it took him a while to wake up gradually.

After a while, Haranju walked into his palace.

Haranshu was Ashu's lieutenant general, his grandfather was Genghis Khan's cook, and his father followed Wo Kuotai to enlist Qincha, Kangli, Huihui and other ministries for meritorious service, and was appointed as Zhuozhou Road Daluhuachi.

Haranshu inherited his father's official position, and later served Kublai Khan in the battle for the throne of Khan, and was recently appointed as Xiliang Wanhu.

His boots stepped on the soft carpet, leaving blood stains and stains.

Seeing Mieliji, he was a little angry.

It's not because I feel sorry for a carpet, but because I don't feel the respect of the other party.

He is a direct descendant of the Golden Family, the King of Xiliang.

But Mieli Jixie still patted his forehead, didn't get angry over such a trivial matter, and asked, "Warrior of the Great Khan, what's the matter with you coming to visit me so early?"

Haranshu bowed and said, "Come to tell King Zong some unfortunate news. Marshal Ashu died of illness in Song Dynasty."

Mie Liji was stunned, and sighed: "The warriors of the Mongolian Kingdom did not die from the enemy's swords and guns, but they were always not free from the torture of diseases."

He was deeply touched by this.

His grandfather Okuotai, uncle Tuolei, his uncle Guiyou, father, uncle Kuochu, and uncle Heya all died of illness.

By the way, there is also the previous Great Khan, Brother Meng, who also died of illness after arriving in the Song Dynasty.

Sighing the impermanence of fate, Mie Liji took another gulp of strong wine and asked, "My younger brother Tie Bilie went out with Ah Shu, did he capture Guanlong?"

Haranshu said: "What's more unfortunate is that after Marshal Ashu died of illness, Tie Bilie led his troops to a dead end, fell into the tricks of the Song people, and was wiped out. Tie Bilie was killed by the Song people one after another. Blood."

"impossible!"

Mie Liji was furious.

But when he calmed down, he soon realized that Harlan Shu was slandering.

Tie Bilie would not be so useless.

Their father swept Sichuan and Shu, pacified Tubo, and made great achievements in battle. How could Teblai Khan be defeated by the Song people after inheriting such bravery?

It must be that Ah Shu has no way to command the army, and the descendants of Subotai have not been defeated once or twice.

"I handed over the command of the West Route Army to you. Is this how you fight? It's an insult to the glory of the grassland warriors."

Mie Liji really wanted to reprimand Haran Shu like this.

But when the words came to his lips, he took them back and asked, "Then what should we do? How can we avenge poor Teblai Khan?!"

"The Great Khan has quelled the rebellion in the east, and will soon send troops to recapture Guanlong. Before that, we will guarantee the defense of Hexi, but we need the support of the king." Haran said: "I want to reward the warriors and stabilize the situation." Morale..."

Came to ask for money again.

Damn it, Tie Bilie was killed, but he still dared to ask for money.

Mieliji couldn't help but think, no wonder Haidu is so focused on restoring the glory of the Wokuotai family.Because of the descendants of Wokuotai who lost the position of sweat, now even one of Kublai Khan's dogs can come to bully him!
In fact, just a while ago, Mieli Jixie received the envoy sent by Haidu.

Haidu proposed to unite with Brother Ali and oppose Kublai Khan, so that the battle for the position of Khan would continue and consume the strength of the Tuolei family.

Mieli Jixie refused, saying that he had handed over his troops and horses to support Kublai Khan.

The envoy was furious and scolded him, "The great Wokuotai Khan knew long ago that there would be such an unworthy descendant as you. Even if you were wrapped in grass, cows would not bother to eat you, even if you were wrapped in fat, dogs would not bother to eat you. The elk dare not eat you." Traveling in front of you, mice dare to walk behind you, incompetent people..."

Mieli Jixie then beheaded the envoy to curry favor with Kublai Khan.

The results of it?
Haidu's envoy said that Haranshu was the mouse that followed him, and he was not afraid of him at all.

But Mieli Jixie still didn't have an attack, but negotiated terms with Haranshu.

"My second brother Meng Gedu, he said that the Great Khan sent a Han man named Zhang Wenqian to Xingqing Mansion to set up the Xixia Province, clamoring for the release of Qukou Tuntian, and the abolition of Lamb's Rest?"

Haranshu shook his head and said, "Don't worry, King Zong, these Han people won't be able to touch King Zong's head."

"Really?" Mie Liji said badly, "I have supported Da Khan a lot, but he is too indulgent to those lowly Han people."

"Don't worry, Zhang Wenqian will touch other Mongolian nobles at most, but he will definitely not be able to touch the Golden Family." Haranshu said: "I can guarantee that as long as I am still alive, these Han people like lambs will never be bitten A piece of grass in Zongwang's pasture..."

Thanks to the straightforward nature of the Mongols, Mieli Jixie and Haranshu quickly developed a tacit understanding.

He can support Harlanshu's military expenses, and Harlanshu helps him protect his interests.

this is necessary.

Mieli Jixie surrendered the right to govern the fiefdom and the command of the West Route Army, and chose to support Kublai Khan, in exchange for the wealth and security that the descendants of the Golden Family deserved.

……

The conflicts and compromises between the old Mongolian system and the Han system are far more than between Kublai Khan and Brother Ali Bak, but in a small conversation like this.

Countless descendants and loyal servants of the golden family were entrusted with an incomparably vast land, so this distribution of benefits involved a lot.

These constitute the battle for Khan position.

The battle for the position of Khan is the distribution of interests among the entire golden family, not just the battle between Kublai Khan and Brother Ali.

Now Kublai Khan has basically achieved a balance in many places so that the Mongolian nobles, generals, and Han gentry can maintain a balance.

If nothing unexpected...

~~
After seeing Haranshu, Mierigai ordered his servants to throw away the soiled carpet.

Because he was woken up too early today, he wanted to have some fun besides drinking and playing with women, so he decided to hunt to show off his majesty as the king of Xiliang.

"It's been a long time since I hunted, let's get ready."

"Are you going to Qilian Mountain?"

"It's too far away, just in the ranch."

……

Hundreds of people were herded onto pastures.

At first, they didn't understand what was going on, thinking they were coming to graze or milk the cows.

The sound of horseshoes sounded, and Mie Liji came on horseback.

The steed carried his obese body, and his face was a little haggard due to excessive drinking, but he was still able to draw the bow.

With a sound of "嗖", the arrow shot towards the crowd, hitting a woman in the middle.

The crowd dispersed screaming, and the woman who fell to the ground screamed, her eight-year-old child threw herself beside her, bewildered.

Mie Liji laughed loudly, he hadn't hunted for a long time, which made him inexplicably excited, as if he had inherited the bravery and prestige of three generations of his ancestors.

He drove his horse forward and shot another arrow...

~~
"Whoosh."

At the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains, at the foot of the Wushao Ridge, a Mongolian soldier who was galloping wildly was shot to the ground.

Afterwards, several cavalrymen from the Guiyi Battalion rode their horses to catch up, continued to chase the Mongolian cavalry, shot arrows, and finally intercepted several other Mongolian cavalry.

"puff."

"puff……"

Blood was splashed in the hoarfrost-covered woodland, and rows of cavalry were moving forward quickly, rushing towards Liangzhou City.
