Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 250 Gui Lichi’s ambition?

Deep in the grassland, there is a huge tribe that is far larger than Arutai, and even far smaller than the twelve tribes of Arutai combined.

Inside one of the huge yurt yurts.

Unlike ordinary yurts, which are only used for sleeping or heating, this yurt is extremely spacious and looks more like a palace.

There were soft woolen blankets on the floor and colorful things hanging around as decoration.

It’s hard to say what it is called, it looks like some kind of totem, and it seems to be just some kind of decorative function.

There was a long table with a freshly roasted lamb on it.

The meat of lambs is the most tender, but most people are reluctant to part with it. After all, as long as they are raised, both the wool output and the more meat they can harvest as adult sheep are more profitable than slaughtering lambs.

But a strong man sitting cross-legged behind the table didn't bother to care about this.

Because the entire tribe was his personal property, he was too rich to care about this waste.

This man is Guilichi, whose Mongolian name is Yuelu Timur, and his surname is "Bo'er Jijin". He is a descendant of Genghis Khan, and he is the blood of the Golden Family.

It is said that Guilichi is a descendant of Hedan, the concubine of Wokuotai.

Because during the struggle to transfer the position of the Mongolian Great Khan from the Ogedai family to the Tolei family, Hedan defected to Mengge, so Hedan's descendants were named Long Kings and were regarded as representatives of the Ogedai family. , has always had a harmonious relationship with the descendants of Kublai Khan.

Like the previous Yesudier, he was a descendant of Brother Ali.

As for Brother Alibu, Brother Meng, and Kublai Khan, the three brothers all came from the Tuo Lei lineage.

Torre was the fourth son of Genghis Khan.

Ogedai was the third son of Genghis Khan.

After all, they are all descendants of Genghis Khan.

In fact, Ogedei was originally the second great khan of Mongolia, named Yuan Taizong, and Genghis Khan personally passed on the throne before his death.

Genghis Khan even once said, "As long as the Ogedai family has a piece of flesh, they will inherit the throne first, and others cannot have any ideas."

But history has proven that in the end it was the towed mine system that won the final victory.

Especially when Meng Ge died suddenly and violently, Hedan and the kings supported Kublai Khan and participated in the war against Ali Buge.

It also allowed the descendants of the Wo Kuotai line to be treated kindly.

But now so many years have passed, Gui Lichi, as a descendant of Ogootai, is watching helplessly as the descendants of the Tuo Lei family, especially the descendants of Ali Buge, Yesudier, take away the descendants of Kublai Khan from Gusi Timur. strangled.

As a result, Yesudier also died suddenly not long after he took the throne.

There was also Yesudier's son Enke who also died young.

"This is retribution," Gui Lichi suddenly said.

At least he thought so.

Because Brother Alibu had already lost, but in the end, Yesudier still wanted to usurp the throne. This was retribution.

On Gui Lichi's left and right, there were actually five or six prairie men on each side.

There are six people on the left and five on the right.

If Arutai were here, he would recognize that they, like himself, were all subordinates of Guilichi.

If you add Arutai, there will be exactly twelve people on the left and right.

Twelve of them were the main force of all Eastern Mongolia and later the Tatar tribe.

Hearing Gui Lichi's comments, the men looked at each other but remained silent.

"What? Do you think what I said is wrong?" Guilichi looked at them and asked.

"Master, if Yesudie'er and Enke are retribution, Elbek has already made the world angry and resentful. I'm afraid even the wind on the grassland can't stand it," said a man.

Another man also took advantage of the situation and said: "What's more, Master, your bloodline is noble, it is the bloodline of Yuan Taizong. You should have inherited the throne. You know, our ancestors have never recognized Meng Ge."

When Meng Ge succeeded to the throne, neither the many representatives of the Ogedai family nor the Chagatai family refused to recognize it.

For this reason, Meng Ge sent a large army, and even his brother Kublai Khan personally led the army to suppress it.

This also laid the foundation for the disintegration of the four great khanates.

In fact, today's Eastern Chagatai Khanate was the fiefdom that Genghis Khan entrusted to Chagatai, and then developed into what it is today.

That is what later became Xinjiang.

But now the Eastern Chagatai Khanate has almost no contact with Mongolia.

Because the people who are active on the grassland here are descendants of the Torre family.

I see you're unhappy, so it's a good thing you didn't take this opportunity to add insult to injury.

At this time, someone mentioned that Guilichi's ancestor was Yuan Taizong, which was intended to prove that Guilichi's bloodline was orthodox.

Not that Elbek who killed his brother and took his wife.

"And even the four tribes of Wala have already rebelled. I'm afraid that a turmoil will break out in the spring of next year," someone said with a worried look.

But Gui Lichi didn't take it seriously. He picked up a knife, cut a piece of meat from the lamb leg and put it in his mouth. While eating, he asked: "Speaking of which, what's going on over there in Arutai? It stands to reason. Come to think of it, he should come to see me this month."

As a subordinate of Gui Lichi, Arutai naturally wanted to pay homage to his master as the new year was approaching.

What's more, Arutai is Gui Lichi's most trusted person, and he even knows that Gui Lichi has actually planned to take this opportunity to compete for the Khan position.

It's time for the descendants of Torre to return the throne to their Ogedai family.

"I have heard some rumors that Arutai seems to be planning to go to the border of Huza (a contemptuous name for the Han people) to fight the autumn wind. Maybe he wants to snatch some Han women to honor his master?"

"Ha ha ha ha."

There was a sudden burst of dirty laughter in the tent.

In the tent, besides these men, there were actually some people.

Some were packing their things, and some were waiting for their master's orders. There were also some women among them, and there were even Han women who had been kidnapped from the Central Plains.

They were the domestic slaves in Guilichi's tent.

Hearing them laughing about it as if it were a joke, the women couldn't help but observe a moment of silence.

Gui Lichi's heart moved. He had already guessed Arutai's plan. Was he preparing for the coming spring?

If a large-scale turmoil really breaks out on the grasslands in the coming spring, a lot of food will indeed be needed.

Since there is no production on their grasslands, it would be best if they could really seize a large amount of grain and grass from the Central Plains people.

That would support a big war.

"Yahada, you are closest to the Arutai tribe, and there are even some marriage relationships between your two tribes. I want you to send someone to the Arutai tribe to inform you, and ask Arutai to come see me as soon as possible. "Gui Lichi gave the order.

"Yes," a man stood up on the left. He was Yahada, a powerful little lord under Gui Lichi.

It should be noted that Mongolia respects the right, which is different from the Central Plains, which respects the left.

And the first seat on the right hand side near Guilichi is vacant. It seems that that should be the seat reserved for Arutai.

It can be seen that Arutai's power under Guilichi is quite strong.

After all, the total population of Arutai is 6. If you include the 10 strong men who went on the previous expedition, there are a full [-] people.

It's a pity that more than 3 of those 2 people have died.

Originally this was just a very common thing, and Gui Lichi didn't take it to heart.

It can be seen from the "Huza" they call them that they don't take the Central Plains people to heart.

Although the Ming Dynasty has severely damaged the Northern Yuan Dynasty in recent years, there are still many people who have always imagined the greatness of the Mongol Empire.

It was as if Genghis Khan had taken them with him during his several western expeditions.

Therefore, they thought that even if Arutai could not break through Ningxia Town or a certain section of the Great Wall, at least the Ming army could not threaten Arutai.

The most important thing is that Guilichi wants to come to Arutai to discuss how to fight with the four tribes of Oara in the coming spring and how to compete for the position of the Great Khan.

This is the key.

But Gui Lichi never expected that he would get the news a few days later.

"Master, the light has arrived in Arutai," Nayahada hurriedly came to Guilichi's tent and told a piece of news that Guilichi could not have expected.

Gui Lichi was dumbfounded on the spot. He was stunned for a moment before asking: "What did you say?" Because he couldn't believe it, Gui Lichi even needed to confirm it repeatedly.

Yahada had no choice but to repeat it again and said: "I don't know the specific situation, but when I asked people to go to the headquarters of Arutai, I happened to pass by one of his tribes and saw many Ming troops coming and going. Previous It snowed a few days, and those Ming troops even helped the Arutai people shovel the snow."

Guilichi stood up immediately.

If he saw Han people, it wouldn't be a big deal, because he also had Han slaves in his tent.

But the Ming army is different.

"Can you confirm?" Gui Lichi asked with a serious expression.

"Master, how dare Yahada lie to you? I am willing to guarantee it with my head." Yahada did not dare to lie on this matter. Although he himself was not married to the Arutai family, there were still conflicts between some of their respective tribes. Ambulatory.

After all, they are all under Guilichi's tent. Now Guilichi has the potential to become the leader of the Tatars, and even the Tatar ministries plan to elect him as the Great Khan.

So there was no conflict between them.

Yahada did see it.

Just as he said, the grassland received the first snow of the year a few days ago, and because the original [-] strong men of the Arutai tribe were killed, [-] were killed, so Zhu Chu simply asked the Ming army soldiers to go to various tribes. Help those widows sweep the snow away from their homes, anyone who can help.

This is also a way to win people's hearts, isn't it?

As a result, the people from Yahada saw it.

Zhu Chu had [-] Ming troops dispersed to twelve tribes to help. It was impossible for a Ming army of this size to be captured by Arutai.

That can only be another situation.

The light has come in Arutai.

In fact, Arutai had been subdued by Zhu Zhen for a long time, but the news never leaked.

Until now, it was only because Guilichi sent people to find Arutai that he discovered something.

Otherwise, he would really have to wait until Arutai helped Zhu Chu lead the way and led a large Ming army to Gui Lichi's tribe before he could notice it, right?
"Alutai, this guy who betrayed his master will be punished by everyone." Guilichi was immediately furious: "Yahada, I want you to use all your tribe's warriors to attack Alutai, especially those who dare to advance. The Ming army in the grassland drove them all to death without leaving any one behind."

Yahada was stunned for a moment, then said with an embarrassed look: "Master, it's not that Yahada is unwilling to fight to the death, it's actually that my tribe is not as good as Arutai. Now that Arutai has the help of the Ming army, I can't defeat him. "

"Don't worry, I will let Natula attack Alutai together with you," Guilichi reassured.

Natula is a tribe similar to the Arutai tribe, and the tribe is much larger than Yahada, with only a few smaller tribes less than the Arutai tribe.

The tribe of two people combined can already exceed the tribe of one person in Arutai.

Hearing this, Yahada breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly promised: "Yahada will not let the master down."

Guilichi nodded and said with an ugly expression: "You go and bring Arutai's head to me. At the same time, his tribe will be conquered by you. Whoever knocks down the things, surrenders the women, cattle and sheep will be the one." Yes, I won’t even ask.”

As soon as these words came out, Yahada's eyes lit up.

This is tantamount to restoring the old customs.

It was a complete conquest.

Especially when he thought of Arutai having a beautiful sister, Yahada's mouth was watering.

In fact, Arutai's mother was not very young, and Yahada was secretly thinking some dirty thoughts.

"Then I will go back to gather my soldiers," Yahada hurriedly left Guilichi's tribe and galloped on his horse. He wanted to seize the time to go back and prepare troops. He wanted to be the first to break through the headquarters camp of Arutai.

Otherwise, Natula's tribe is bigger than him, and then they will all belong to Natula.

Arutai, Arutai, you are so obsessed that you turned your back on my master Guilichi and turned to join the Ming army. You have really lost your mind.

Now that you are following the orders of Master Guilichi and combining the forces of the two tribes to attack you, what can you do to fight us?What are you resisting?
"The advantage is mine," Yahada shouted, and even felt that his whole body was getting hot, and he was not afraid of the cold air on the grassland in winter.

At the same time, Guilichi sent a cavalryman from the tent, just as he said, to convey the order to Natula of another tribe.

When Natula learned that Arutai had defected to the Ming army, he felt baffled at first.

Good thing, why did you go to seek refuge with Huza?
However, when he learned that Guilichi said that he and Yahada would attack Alutai's tribe together, and whoever conquered would get the spoils, and Guilichi only wanted Alutai's head.

Natula was also excited, and involuntarily thought of Alutai's sister Minminte and Alutai's mother.

Well, they couldn't think of anything else.

"Hurry, hurry, sons, follow me to fight the autumn wind. Go conquer the tribe of Arutai. The cattle, sheep and women are all ours. If you go late, the little girl will be robbed by the Yahada tribe. "Natula immediately started shouting in the tribe.

And what followed was countless strange screams.

It is winter now, and there is no grassland for cattle and sheep to graze even on the grassland. It is a test for both cattle and sheep, and for people. Every time winter comes, it will be difficult.

But I didn't expect that this year, they could plunder other tribes again. In this way, they could use the cattle and sheep of the Arutai tribe as winter supplies.

Especially women.

Before Genghis Khan completely unified the tribes in the grassland, all the tribes were enemies, and they advocated that whoever snatched the woman belonged to whom.

Even Genghis Khan's newlywed wife was snatched away and was already pregnant when she was rescued.

That's why there are rumors that Genghis Khan's first son is not his child.

Moreover, Genghis Khan also named his first child Jochi, which is said to mean 'guest from afar'.

Is this statement confirmed from the side?
At this time, even the wives of those men had no objections, but silently supported their men.

This is the style of the grasslands. Women don't care how many wives a man has. How about saying that the more wives a man has, the more he proves his status?
It can only be said that the differences in customs are caused by different environments.

In fact, we can think of prairie women as a group of lions. It is said that the iron lioness is the lion king. Prairie women only care about their current husband, because in the past, people were always snatched away from each other. Today she is this man’s wife, and tomorrow she will be his wife. Don't know whose it belongs to.

Everything is just to survive.

Therefore, in the old prairie custom, there is also the saying that after the father dies, the son will inherit the stepbrother. In addition to one's biological mother, other women of the father can also inherit.

For example, Wang Zhaojun and the legendary Mongolian woman Sanniangzi also married four husbands, spanning four generations.

This results in Mongolian women having different values, and many of them even prepare themselves for men.

Seeing that an operation against the Arutai tribe is about to begin, and the two together are not weaker than the Arutai tribe.

Now the Arutai tribe suffered heavy losses again. Even if the fifteen thousand Ming troops brought by Zhu Chu were added, they could not make up for the loss of 2 strong men.

In addition, there is no news about Arutai now.

How should they respond?
Let’s see what Zhu Chu is doing at this time.

In fact, Zhu Xi did nothing.

At this time, ten days had passed since Zhu Chu led his army deep into the grassland.

Zhu Chu originally came here with great ambitions, but he didn't expect it. In the past few days, he only focused on setting up camp and building a camp. As a result, as soon as the camp was built, the first snow on the grassland this year ushered in.

And the snow was really heavy.

I have to say once again that the climate on the grasslands is not as good as that of Yingtian and Jiangnan in the Central Plains. It is very cold in winter.

Also, what we live now is not the Gregorian calendar, but the lunar calendar. November of the lunar calendar is already equivalent to December of the Gregorian calendar, maybe even January.

Zhu Ming was very helpless. It was almost the end of November, but he was delayed by a heavy snowfall. He had a lot of leisure these days. Apart from building snowmen in the snow with Xu Miaojin during the day, he also practiced double cultivation together at night.

The relationship has grown by leaps and bounds.

But what about making contributions?Want to make an immortal contribution?

Why was Zhu Yuanzhang not anxious after hearing the news?

Originally, he was worried that if Ningxia Town was destroyed, he would be surrounded and suppressed by the prairie cavalry. He was even worried that he would go deep into the prairie and be besieged by various prairie ministries.

But when he learned that there was a division within the grassland, he was no longer afraid that something would happen to him. Instead, Zhu Yuanzhang was probably warming the stove in Yingtian at this time and secretly scolding Zhu Chu for being a fool, right?
Do you think it’s in Yunnan?That's on the grassland outside the Great Wall. It won't freeze to death, you bastard son.

In fact, it also snows in Yunnan, but at least it won’t be as cold as the Saibei Grassland.

It's so cold and freezing. The people in Zhucheng are all stunned by the cold. How can they continue to go deep alone?

At this moment, the system alarm came.

"The Tartar Natula tribe is attacking the twelve Arutai tribes under your territory."

Zhu Zhen was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to ask, the Arutai tribe is the Arutai tribe, what does the twelve mean?
By the way, there are no fixed cities or villages on the grassland. These yurts are all mobile RVs, and the issue can only be defined in the name of the tribe.

In other words, was one of the tribes under the name of Arutai attacked?
That Tula?Who is that?

"Whoever he is, since he came to your doorstep, kill him."
