...

Compared with Dazhong, which is becoming more and more prosperous and powerful, those grassland kingdoms and tribes that have been sanctioned by Dazhong's economy are getting more and more difficult. After Dazhong completed the unification, they began to interfere in trade, lower prices, and even shut down trade .

Of course, Dazhong does not impose economic sanctions on all grassland kingdoms and tribes. For those grassland kingdoms and tribes that follow the leadership of Dazhong, Dazhong will trade with them and even give them some support. For example, the Tata of Hulunbuir grassland Tata can trade freely with Dazhong. Sometimes, Dazhong will even lend some grain to Tata for emergency.

In order to thank Li Yan for his generosity, the Tataer Department successively gave three princesses to Li Yan.

With the support of Dazhong, the Tata'er tribe has continued to grow over the years, annexing many surrounding tribes, and began to challenge its neighbor, the Dajin Kingdom, as the overlord of the grassland.

in fact--

Not only did Tatar rise, but the Kret tribe centered on the upper reaches of the Orkhon River, the Mongolian tribe that rose in the middle and upper reaches of the Onon River and the Kherlen River, and the Naiman tribe from the Altai Mountains to the Hangai Mountains, and the Monan tribe near the The grassland tribes such as the Wanggu tribe in the Yinshan area all rose up while Dajin was weak, and now they are all very strong.

In the past few years after entering Tietong, the soldiers of Dazhong got enough rest, but the soldiers of Dajin did not. Except for the Wanggu tribe who was always loyal to Dajin, the Tataer tribe, the Kelei tribe, the Mongolian tribe, and the Naiman tribe Conquering and rebelling for a long time, they harassed the border of Dajin. Among them, the Tatar tribe and the Mongolian tribe were the most important.

Li Yan admitted that the reason why the big tribes around the Dajin Kingdom kept harassing Dajin was that Dazhong was behind the scenes to fuel the flames, but it was more because these grassland tribes were naturally prone to using knives and disagreed with each other. Just make a big move, they are used to it, and if they can do it, don't make any noise.

Grassland kingdoms and tribes with this character not only kept plundering gold, but also often fought with each other.

Among them, the most fierce fight was between the Tatar and Mongolian tribes.

Just a few years ago, when Heble Khan was the Mongolian Khan, the brother of Heble Khan's wife, Sai Yin-Jin, had asked the wizards of the Tatar tribe to perform witchcraft because of his illness. Unexpectedly, he was not cured. , Instead, he fell ill and died. Later, the brothers of Saiyin-Dijin killed the wizard of the Tatar Department.

Since then, the Tatar tribe and the Mongolia tribe have feuded. As long as the two sides have an opportunity, massacres and robberies will occur.

Judging from the current situation, the strength of the Tataer Ministry is actually not much worse than that of the Mongolian Ministry.

Moreover, both of them are hostile to Dajin, and will harass Dajin whenever they have the opportunity.

But under Li Yan's instructions, Dazhong only accepted Tata'er's tribe and only supported Tata'er as his own puppet.

Some people may ask, is it because Li Yan is more optimistic about the Tata Department, so he supports the Tata Department?

wrong.

People of the Tatar tribe are full of hatred, anger and jealousy by nature.

Such a tribe is absolutely impossible.

On the contrary, Li Yan is more optimistic about the Mongolian Ministry.

This is not only because the Mongolian Ministry is the predecessor of the Great Mongolian Kingdom in history, but also because Temujin’s great-grandfather Borjijin Hebul, also known as Hebul Khan, is a rare hero on the grassland.

It is not an exaggeration to say that if Hebul also had the opportunity like Temujin, he might not have the opportunity to unify the grassland and bring about the birth of the Great Mongol Kingdom ahead of schedule.

This is not flattery for Li Yan.

There is no need to explain how strong the Jin army is. If Li Yan does not appear, the Jin army can definitely sweep the world.

But such a golden army has been defeated by Hebuler many times.

Moreover, when Hebuler does things, he is more sweaty than Tata'er-in order to make Dazhong support the Mongolian Ministry and trade with the Mongolian Ministry, Hebuler once paid Li Yan [-] good horses and [-] horses. A Mongolian beauty, this is something that Tatar's profuse sweat can't do anyway.

But it was precisely because of this that Li Yan was even less able to support the Mongolian Ministry, so he should support the Tataer Ministry.

The reason, of course, was that Li Yan didn't want to keep a tiger as a threat, and release the Mongolian country, a vicious tiger that made the whole world terrified!

Some people may ask, then if Li Yan took the Mongols out of the gate, wouldn't he be worried that the Mongols would unite with the Dajin Kingdom, and then the powerful alliance would become a disaster that threatened the control of Dazhong?

This is actually one of the reasons why Li Yan chose to support the Tataer Ministry instead of the Mongolian Ministry.

The Mongolian tribe led by Hebuler not only often plundered Dajin, but also often challenged the status of the overlord of the grasslands of the Dajin Kingdom. Hebuler also did something that the Dajin Kingdom could never forgive him.

This matter has to start with Li Yan's old opponent Wanyan Wu Qimai.

Although Li Yan hated Wanyan Wu begging for money, Li Yan had to admit that Wanyan Wu begging for money still had some merits.

For example, I can bear it, I can bear it very much.

Although the Mongolian Ministry caused countless troubles for the Dajin Kingdom, Wanyan Wu Qimai recruited the Mongolian Ministry a few years ago after weighing the pros and cons, and invited Hebuler to Shangjing to meet the court.

When Wanyan Wu was begging to buy treats for Hebuler, Hebuler was so drunk that he went to stroke Wanyan Wu's beard.

In fact, this is not just as simple as committing the following offense, but Chi Guoguo's provocation of Wanyan Wu's begging Huangwei.

If this matter were replaced by Li Yan, Hebuler would be beheaded by the court.

But Wanyan Wu begged to buy, but he didn't. Not only did he release Hebuler, but he also told Hebuler kindly that Dajin wanted to recruit the Mongolian tribe.

After Hebule sobered up, he thought carefully about what happened at the banquet, and then became terrified—Hebuler was very afraid that Wanyan Wu Qimai would settle accounts with him after Qiuhou!
Therefore, Hebuler fled back to the Mongolian Ministry overnight.

Within a few days, Wanyan Wu Qimai sent envoys to Hebuler to discuss the surrender of the Mongolian Ministry to the Kingdom of Jin.

Hebuler was very worried that this was Wanyan Wu begging for money to lure him to surrender!

Hebuler was also a ruthless person. Without saying a word, he killed the Jin envoy, and then reorganized his army to fight against Jin.

Dajin Kingdom was angry from top to bottom, so they sent the tiger general Hu Shahu to crusade against the Mongolian tribe.

But the result was that Hu Shahu was beaten back by Hebuler.

Dajin Kingdom was even more angry, dealt with Hu Shahu, and then sent the famous general Jin Wushu to the Mongolian Ministry.

The two sides have been fighting until now, and there is no winner.

The Mongolian Ministry has already fought a real fire with the Dajin Kingdom, and it is impossible for the two to unite again.

Therefore, Li Yan can rest assured to support the Tata'er Department, and let the Tata'er Department compete with the Dajin Kingdom and the Mongolian Department for the supremacy of the grassland.

One night in early February of the fourth year of Tietong.

Zhu Gui hurried into the palace to see Li Yan!
Soon after, Chai Jin and Shi Xiu also entered the palace to see Li Yan.

There was no other way, Li Yan could only let go of the King of the Queen Kingdom and the Tajs who were sleeping in each other's arms, and then get up to see Zhu Gui, Chai Jin, and Shi Xiu.

As soon as Li Yan appeared, Zhu Gui stepped forward excitedly, and then reported: "Officials, good news, the emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Wu Qimai, died last night. With the support of your relatives and nobles, Wanyan Quan, the eldest grandson of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda, ascended the throne as the new emperor of Dajin, the state of Dajin has changed, and the opportunity for us Dazhong to send troops to the grassland has come!"
