Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 109 The Irtysh River is cold (Part )
Centered on the middle and upper reaches of the Irtysh River and expanding to the surrounding areas, it is the grazing land of the Oirat Mongolian Durbot tribe. In winter, they graze on the grasslands at the junction of the southwest and the Kazakh Khanate; in summer, they use the upper reaches of the Ishim River in the west as pasture; and the Ob grassland in the north is also their main place for grazing.

The vast expanse of prairie allows the Dulbert people to recuperate. This is all thanks to their great Taiji Dalai Teish. More than thirty years ago, the young Daletesh led his people to move westward across the Altai Mountains and took root in the middle and upper reaches of the Irtysh River, becoming the first Oirat tribe to move westward. In recent years, despite experiencing many foreign invasions and the Oirat Civil War, as long as Dadai Ji is still alive, there is nothing to fear. What about the wind and rain and the blue wisps on the road? Didn’t everyone get through it?

However, since they fled back from the Qinghai expedition with the National Preceptor Khan, their Dadaiji has been bedridden, sometimes awake and sometimes confused. The most common thing he said when he was awake was: "Someone tipped off Qatu Khan and betrayed him." Oirat”.

There is a dark cloud of uneasiness hanging over the tribe. Over the years, people have become accustomed to Dalai Teish as the backbone. If one day, his old man is gone, what will the Dulbert people do?
These days, many herdsmen spontaneously light everlasting lanterns to pray for their great fortune.

In the Dulbert garrison on the upper reaches of the Irtysh River, Ombu Daiqing, Shuoqi, and Sonom Celing led hundreds of loyal guards to guard the tent. The two of them, one is the fourth son of Dalai Taishi and the other is the eighth son of Dalai Taishi, they are usually the most favored.

A few days ago, the old father had a premonition that the end was coming, so he distributed all the belongings to his eight sons. They got the most, and the other six sons only got a small part. This also made Emubu Daiqing and Shuoqi... Handle government affairs for yourself.

"Drive, drive, drive!"

A horse galloped over. The knight on the horse was not tall, had a scar on his face, and was very fierce. However, he was Erinqin Batur, the nephew of Daletesh.

"There is an urgent military situation. I want to see Dadai Shi," he shouted.

"Eqi Ge is ill and can't see you. If you have anything to tell me," Omobu Daiqing and Shuoqi said lightly.

Erqin Batur saluted him, "Brother, the Tomsk governor of Oros sent fifty Cossacks to build another settlement in the middle reaches of the Irtysh River. This is already the third settlement they have built. a settlement.”

After the Dulbert people moved to the middle and upper reaches of the Irtysh River, they have been facing the threat of the Oros people. After the Oros people built the Tomsk Fort, they have been planning to go south and occupy all the pastureland in the middle reaches of the Irtysh River. Daledes took two measures, sending envoys to establish good trade relations with the Oros people, while insisting on resisting their aggression. Defended the interests of the Dulbert people.

"Humph, they know that Eqige is sick and want to take advantage of it." Omubu Daiqing and Shuoqi's faces were filled with blackness. "You lead the troops and drive them away."

"What if they refuse to leave?" Elinqin Batur asked.

"Then slaughter them all," Omubu Daiqing and Shuoqi sneered.

Elinqin Batur took the order and left.

The curtain of the big tent was opened, and a chamberlain came out and said, "Datai has ordered you and your brothers to enter the tent together."

In the big tent, the fire was burning brightly, injecting warmth into the depressing atmosphere.

The white-haired Dalai Taishi lay weakly on the bed, looking at his eight sons one by one with sharp eyes: Minzhu, Chu, Tuoyin, Emubu Daiqing, Shuoqi, and Gumu. Bu, Da'etaishi, Tarhuntaishi, Sonomu Celing.

"Thank you," he suddenly smiled at the third son: "My son has studied Buddhism for many years. Let me tell you, if my father kills countless people, can he enter the paradise after death?"

That year, the leader of Oirat paid homage to Bagas Khan. After listening to the lectures of the Gelug sect masters, he felt that the world was illusory and his own life was impermanent, so he decided to become a Toyin (a guru with a noble background). In order to make the Khan give up the idea of ​​becoming a monk, the leaders of each tribe in Oirat sacrificed their son Dangtuoyin, and Daletesh gave his third son Tuoyin. Therefore, among everyone present, only Tuoyin was dressed as a monk. Although he was a monk, he still had his own territory and tribe, and he also gave birth to a son, Babai. "Eqi Ge, the Buddha said, 'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately.' As long as you have good intentions, you can go to the Paradise of Paradise. Although you have killed many people, it was not your original intention, but for the sake of the tribes and peoples. No. Now that you have achieved great enlightenment, you will be able to ascend to bliss." Tuoyin comforted her old father with tears.

"In this way, I feel relieved." Dalaidai smiled and said to his sons: "You are all my sons, and you should share my property equally. But I feel that Omubu Daiqing and Shuoqi are not the same." Mou and Sonomu Ce Ling Youyong want them to support my Dulbert tribe, so they should be given more to them and less to others. Do you blame me?"

After saying that, the old father looked at his other six sons, and his eyes stayed on the eldest son Minzhu and the second son Chu for a long time.

Minzhu and Chu looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Oh, pray for Ge. Oh, pray for Ge. You gave your fourth brother and eighth brother not just a little more, but a lot more! But my father is seriously ill, how can I complain? That’s unfilial!
"I don't dare blame Eqi Ge," the six sons said in unison.

"That's good," Daleitaish's eyes suddenly glowed, and he called out, "Bring me my riding whip."

The guard brought a riding whip, more than two feet long, with gold wire on it showing the extraordinaryness of the owner.

"I pass this whip to Omobutai Qing and Shuoqi. From today on, he is the Da Taiji of Dulbert's tribe. You swear in front of me: You will be as loyal to Omobutai as you are to me." Qing and Shuoqi, brothers love each other."

All eyes are on Minzhu, who is the oldest among the brothers.

Minzhu bit her lip tightly and said for a long time: "I swear to be loyal to my fourth brother and to love all brothers. If you violate this oath, you will die under random arrows."

After everyone swore an oath one by one, the old father felt relieved and began to say his final goodbyes.

"Minzhu, you are impatient. Don't act impulsively in the future. You need to make a decision before acting, otherwise you will suffer losses," he said to his eldest son.

"Yes, I've written it down," Minzhu burst into tears. Although she complained about her father's partiality, he was his biological father after all.

"Chu, you are a little lazy, you need to be more diligent in your work from now on", he also told his second son.

"Yes, Eqi Ge, I have written it down."

"Tuoyin, you are a monk, don't care too much about worldly affairs, and read more Buddhist scriptures when you have time."

"Yes, Eqi Ge, I have written it down."

Finally, the old father stared at his favorite fourth sons, Omubu Daiqing and Shuoqi, and said, "You all, please step aside. I have something to tell the fourth son."
