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

Chapter 257 Guilichi: The advantage is mine
Guilichi sat in the big tent, looking at the man kneeling in front, his whole body trembling because he was so angry.

It turned out that he already knew what happened from this man's mouth.

Gui Lichi never expected that Na Tula would be so useless.

"Are you saying that the general of the Ming Dynasty stabbed Na Tula to death as soon as he came face to face? Or even used it on the head of a gun to show off his power?" Guilichi asked angrily.

The man knelt there with his head lowered and told the truth: "I'm telling you, master, that's it. It was precisely because Lord Natula was easily killed by the enemy general that we were defeated and fled."

"Are you still saying that with a face?" Gui Lichi angrily picked up the iron wine bowl and threw it at it.

Because the grassland lacks iron, tribes that can afford iron tools are also regarded as a symbol of wealth.

Not to mention the wine bowls and glasses made of iron.

The man didn't dare to hide and was hit hard, shrinking down because of the pain.

Guilichi cursed angrily: "So what if that Tula was killed? Are you still afraid of the Ming army? If you fight to the death, whoever brings the enemy's head to me, now it has become That’s the new master of the Tula tribe. I gave you a chance but you didn’t use it.”

The man didn't dare to talk back and defend himself, so he could only listen to Gui Lichi's curses.

Gui Lichi was panting and asked again: "Where is the Yahada tribe? I asked your two tribes to work together to encircle the Alutai tribe. Since your tribe was defeated by the Ming army, the Yahada tribe should have succeeded. Bar?"

The man raised his head and said with a confused look on his face: "Yahada tribe? We don't know. We have never seen anyone from the Yahada tribe."

Gui Lichi didn't know at this time that Yahada had evil thoughts. He planned to betray Natula from the beginning and planned to let Natula lure Zhu Chu's Ming army away, while he took the opportunity to invade Arutai. Headquarters, snatched away the woman he had long desired, as well as more property of the Arutai tribe.

So Yahada naturally didn't plan to meet Natula.

But Yahada was also unlucky and had been destroyed by modern weapons.

Because Guilichi was angry, he stood up and walked back and forth.

At this moment, someone else rushed in from outside and said, "Report to the master, thousands more people from the Natula tribe are coming to seek refuge."

Gui Lichi was stunned, looked at the man in front of him in confusion, and asked: "Is there anyone else? What's going on?"

The man lowered his head and it was already on the carpet.

Of course he knew what was going on.

There are a total of eleven tribes in Natula. Originally, the [-] troops did not come from one tribe, but were temporarily recruited from various tribes by Natula.

So when they all fled, they naturally went back to their homes, and some of them took their wives away.

This also led to the fact that the more than 2 Natula tribe men who fled did not come together, but in batches.

And not long after that, more than 2 men, plus some young women, a total of more than 3 people with their families came to Guilichi's tribe.

Gui Lichi was dumbfounded and couldn't help asking: "How many people are there in the Ming army? Isn't there 10 people?"

He originally thought that the Tula tribe was killed and only a few thousand people came over. Who would have thought that the people of the Tula tribe were almost intact?

Under Gui Lichi's questioning, the man finally had to tell the truth: "According to my estimation, the Ming army should have fifteen thousand riders."

The ghostly red people were dumbfounded.

"You 3 people were defeated by 5000 people. How dare you flee in front of me? You want me to make the decision for you? I will be your mother's decision. Come on, drag him out and chop him down." In a rage, Gui Lichi had the man who was lucky enough to survive Zhu Ming's army be dragged out and beheaded.

If I don't chop him, I really can't let go of the anger in my heart.

Because Gui Lichi never expected that the Ming army only had 5000 people, but it killed Na Tula's [-] army in such a panic.

But in fact, this is a true portrayal of ancient wars. Was it because Natula was killed as the commander-in-chief, or because he was picked to death by Zhu Zhen at a glance, or even picked on the head of a gun, which shocked Natula's entire army.

This damaged morale and made more than 2 people dare not look back while being chased and beaten by more than 1 people.

Their ideas are also very simple and simple. Even their leader Natula was killed. Why are they the opponents of the Ming army?

So if one escapes, there will be a second and a third. Once the chain reaction occurs, it will be impossible to regain morale.

It can be said that the more than 2 people behind were blindly coerced and escaped.

Originally, some people wanted to fight Zhu Zhen and the Ming army again, but they were unable to do so.

Gui Lichi looked gloomy and shouted: "Summon the other nine tribes to my tent."

Guilichi is now almost the leader of the entire Tatars. The entire Tatar grassland has become his territory, and his banner is divided into twelve large and small tribes.

In addition to Arutai, Natula and the unlucky Yahada, there were nine chiefs of tribes.

It's just that the Arutai tribe is the largest, followed by Natula, while the Yahada tribe is lower than average in size.

It can also be deduced from this that if all the troops in Guilichi's heyday were combined, the twelve tribes could send 30 million troops, and his own tribe was the largest, probably with at least tens of thousands of troops.

No wonder he dared to take a look at the position of the Great Khan of the Grassland. With an army of nearly 40 people, all composed of cavalry, this force should not be underestimated.

Some people may wonder here, why is Tangtang Grassland not as powerful as a Yunnan army?After all, the hundreds of thousands of troops sent by Silun before were still vivid in his mind.

The reason is also very simple. In fact, the Ming Dynasty never ignored the threat of the grassland, and its main purpose was to combat the power of the grassland.

What's more, this is after the division of the four great khanates of the Mongol Empire, and even after the division of Tatar and Oara, among which only the Tatar tribe is the power.

Just like this, there are still 40 troops, which is enough to show how terrifying the Mongolian grassland was when it was at its most glorious.

No wonder Genghis Khan defeated all the invincible enemies in the world, and millions of cavalry came in force. Let alone the Song Dynasty, no country at the same time could stop him.

Even Lao Maozi was defeated by Genghis Khan.

It is said that Genghis Khan's troops have all reached the coast of the Caspian Sea.

As Gui Lichi gave the order, several riders rushed out of the tribe.

A few days later, the leaders of Gui Lichi's subordinates came to Gui Lichi's tent again, exactly the same as when they gathered some time ago.

It's just that there are two people missing this time. After Arutai, Natula and Yahada are also missing.

Everyone sat down on the left and right, the first and second seats on the right were vacant, and there was also an empty seat on the left.

The leaders of these tribes looked at each other, feeling a little solemn, not knowing what was going on.

"It's the Ming army," Gui Lichi walked in from outside at this time.

Looking at the leaders of his subordinates gathered together, Gui Lichi felt a little more relaxed. At least he still had nine tribes of leaders. Together, they had a strength of about 20, or more than [-].

Coupled with the power of his own tribe, a mere 1 Ming army is not a problem at all.

Gui Lichi's focus was still on Khan Wei.

But with Arutai's betrayal and Natula's defeat, Yahada disappeared.

Gui Lichi had to think about it, it was time to win over these leaders.

So Gui Lichi turned to look at the tent. As the tent door was opened, several people worked together to carry a huge wooden board in from the outside. There was an exaggerated roasted whole cow on it?

Even for the people of the Mongolian grasslands, mutton is their food most of the time, and only tribal leaders and even nobles can afford it regularly.

As for ordinary prairie people, they are slaves and have no right to eat meat.

Even the last time Guilichi received a visit from his subordinate leaders, he roasted a lamb and enjoyed it alone without any thought of sharing.

But this time it was different. Gui Lichi asked someone to put the roasted whole beef in the middle, and greeted the nine leaders around him: "What are you doing standing around? Come around, come around, we haven't drank together for a long time, it's just right There’s nothing to do in winter now, so I’ll just eat and drink.”

The nine leaders looked at each other, but felt solemn.

As the saying goes, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.As their co-owner and the largest slave owner on the Tatar grassland, how could Guilichi take the initiative to please them?
This must be a prelude to something happening.

But they couldn't refuse Gui Lichi's kindness, so they all moved their chairs and sat over.

But in this way, Guilichi sat in the first place, and the others formed a circle on the left and right.

Guilichi first picked up a knife and cut off a piece of meat from the middle of the cow's head. Then he took a huge raw cow's heart from the servant, cut off a piece and put it on the plate, and then asked someone to put the cow's heart on it. Remove the heart and prepare to cook it before bringing it back.

This is the heart of a freshly killed cow. Naturally, there is no need to consider hygienic issues. Otherwise, if the heart of the cow is sick, the cow would have died long ago.

Then Guilichi put the raw beef heart into his mouth together with the piece of meat, chewed it hard before swallowing it.

Afterwards, Gui Lichi stretched out his hand to make a circle, and it was the others' turn to take action.

These are all rules. Who said that prairie people have no rules? It is better to say that the slave system has more rules.

The leaders also had knives prepared in their hands. They took the meat from the cow one after another and were about to taste it.

Suddenly Gui Lichi pretended to be careless and said in a calm tone: "Actually, those Ming troops are nothing to be afraid of, because I already know that this time the Ming troops led to the grassland by that damn traitor Arutai, But there are only 5000 people.”

After hearing this, the nine leaders finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It turns out that there are only so many people, let alone others. If we weren't worried about the people in Arutai, my tribe alone would kill them all," a strong man shouted.

Everyone else nodded in agreement.

Even Nayahada can barely muster [-] troops, and no matter how good the others are, they will not be any worse.

Therefore, Zhu Chu's 5000-man army is really nothing in their eyes.

Of course Gui Lichi thought so too, so he was so angry at Natula's defeat that he beheaded a temporary leader of the Natula tribe.

At this time, Guilichi waved his hand and said: "The Ming army is nothing to be afraid of. I will just send one or two of your tribes there and it will be solved. I am afraid that they are now among the tribes of Na Tula, facing those cattle and sheep." Go crazy with women."

The nine leaders were all stunned. Why did they say that the Ming army would be in Natula's tribe?In the end what happened?Why is Natula missing?

Guilichi continued: "But what I care about is not this Ming army. You should also know that the current Great Khan Elbek even killed his own brother because he coveted the beauty of his sister-in-law. , and later killed the Prime Minister Haohai Dayu, which can be said to have made people in the grassland angry. Even the Oara tribe was very dissatisfied. Because he canonized Haohai Dayu's child Mahamu as the new prime minister, and also wanted Mahamu He is in charge of the four tribes of Wala. But the current leader of Wala is Uge Qiha Shiha."

Oara and Tatar belong to the two major forces of Eastern Meng and Western Meng, and Ugqihashha in Oara is equivalent to the status of Guilichi in Tatar today.

It is equivalent to saying that if Mahamu is allowed to rule Wala, it is equivalent to letting Arutai replace Guilichi.

So Gui Lichi sneered and said: "Don't say that Ugeqiha Shiha is dissatisfied, anyone else would also be dissatisfied."

The reason is simple. How can a slave turn around and become his master?

The reason why Gui Lichi was so anxious to send Natula and Yahada to attack Alutai was because he felt betrayed by Alutai, and as his master, he had to attack him.

"But it's impossible to let Ugqi Hashha and the Warabe become bigger, right? When will outsiders get involved in the affairs of Genghis Khan's family?" Guilichi narrowed his eyes slightly, making it difficult for people to see clearly the look in his eyes. Flashing ambition.

But no one was stupid, and they all heard that Guilichi wanted to compete with Wala.

Ugqi Hashiha's rebellion is already foreseeable, because he will never give up his position as the leader of the Oara tribe to Mahamu.

In this way, Ugqi Hashiha could only rebel in order to deny the canonization of Mahamu by Elbek, who was the Great Khan.

With the Royal Court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty suffering a devastating blow in the Battle of Yuerhai, coupled with Yesudier's rebellion, the reputation of the Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty has plummeted.

In addition, this Elbek fooled around and even kidnapped his pregnant sister-in-law.

Nowadays, no one on the grassland respects this great Khan.

Gui Lichi picked up the wine glass and finally said: "Even if we want to replace him, a descendant of Genghis Khan must be the successor. What do you think?"

Gui Lichi drank and glanced at everyone.

The nine leaders did not dare to hesitate at all. They stood up and knelt down one after another, saying in unison: "My Lord is the Ming Lord."

Guilichi suddenly burst out laughing: "Hahahaha. Since you think so too, I have decided that when the spring comes next year, all your tribes will migrate with me to the direction of Oarabe. Once a war breaks out, I want you to Do your best to unite your troops and help me achieve my great cause. If I really become a prostrate, I will never treat you badly."

"We will definitely follow the master and help him ascend to the throne of Great Khan as soon as possible and restore the glory of Genghis Khan."

Genghis Khan is Temujin's honorary title, which is equivalent to Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu Emperor. It is an honorific title in itself, so they can also call him.

When Gui Lichi heard their expressions of loyalty, he was naturally even more ecstatic.

This was also the first time that Guilichi showed his intention to compete for the Great Khan to all the leaders of his subordinates. Before that, only Arutai knew his thoughts.

It seems that after losing the Arutai tribe, Guilichi needs to gain the allegiance of others as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the strength of his own tribe alone would not be enough to compete with the Oara tribe.

Anyway, the overall strength of the Oara tribe is already comparable to that of the Tatar tribe. In addition, the current Great Khan is close to the Oara tribe and far away from their Tatar tribe.

Therefore, Guilichi was also a little worried. If he didn't know that the Oara tribe was extremely disappointed with the Great Khan, a rebellion might break out. Guilichi never thought that he would have a chance to compete for the position of the Great Khan.

But it's different now.

So the happy Guilichi began to take the initiative to lead his subordinates and leaders to eat and drink happily. Because of his initiative, everyone drank happily.

If the master is happy, they will be even happier as slaves.

But suddenly a man asked: "But Master, what should we do with the Ming army? Natula and I are considered related by marriage. Although Natula has alienated my sister in recent years, after all, he is also My brother-in-law. I can’t ignore it.”

The speaker's name is Balfu, which is not a Western name. In fact, in Mongolian, this name means tiger.

The tribe of Balfu can also be called the 'Baerhu Banner', or the Baerhu tribe.

In fact, Balfu's tribe was already far away in what is now the Hulunbuir Prairie.

And Balf was Qiqige's brother. He married Natula before marrying his sister to Natula.

Therefore, Qi Qiqi was originally from a prominent family, so she had the courage and courage, and she was a fierce woman who dared to confront Zhu Chu.

It's just that Balfu's tribe is too far away, so Qiqige cannot get help from his natal family. Even if Balfu knows that Natula dares to drive away his sister, there is nothing he can do about Natura.

But when he heard that the Ming army might threaten the Natula tribe, he couldn't sit still because his sister was still there.

"My tiger general Balfu, don't worry. We can't use your troops from such a distance. Don't worry, your sister will be fine." Guilichi looked deeply at Balfu.

If a tribe can be named after a tiger, you can imagine how tough this tribe is.

And over there is Hulunbuir, which is the closest to the three eastern provinces, and today the three eastern provinces are still the territory of the Jurchens.

As mentioned before, the grievances between the Mongols and the Jurchens were a blood feud accumulated over many years, so Balfu's tribe always clashed with the Jurchen tribe.

If the nine-border towns including Ningxia Town are the main defense measures against the Mongolian grassland, they are the important border towns of the Ming Dynasty.

Then Hulunbuir is Balfu's tribe, and it is an important force in defending the Jurchens. It can be seen that Balfu also has a high status in Gui Lichi's heart.

Once the 'Tiger' tribe attacks, they will kill him with one blow, which will help him settle the matter in one fell swoop and win the throne.

As for now.

"It's just over 1 Ming troops, why do they matter? Don't take it to heart, everyone, I have the advantage, I have the advantage. Come on, let's play music and dance," Gui Lichi still had an extremely relaxed attitude at this time, not caring at all. Zhu Zhen and the Ming army took it seriously.

This resulted in Gui Lichi being chased by Zhu Zhen and running around on the grassland, as embarrassed as a bereaved dog.

He will pay the price for his pride, but of course that is a story later.
