Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 36: Return sadly before the great cause is accomplished

"The poison in Dataiji was aconitum poison. It is said that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a Han general named Guan Yu was poisoned by this poison. Langzhong scraped his bones and treated the poison," the doctor who accompanied the army said after examining his condition.

"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and scrape the bones of Dadaiji to cure the poison," generals Batu Hetan, Nasutu, Tuoli and Xirimo said anxiously.

"But Dadaiji has an old disease of consumption, and his body is weak and cannot bear the pain of scraping his bones. For now, he can only use hen excrement, minced garlic, ducklings, saltpeter and other synthetic pills to induce vomiting, and apply it to the wound. But this poison It may not be completely solved."

Batu and Tan sighed, "Just treat him and save Dadai Ji."

"Yes!"

After being rescued by doctors, Nomudale woke up the next day and asked leisurely: "But after the investigation is clear, where did the assassin come from?"

"Dataiji, after careful investigation, the slave discovered that the female assassin was sent to Abu Hadi by a Khotan businessman and has been in the Governor's Mansion for two years. The sleeve arrows and daggers she used were both produced in the capital of Yarkand. Yarkand. I heard that the Montenegrin sect and Zhuo Shadi in Yarkand have many assassins who are good at assassination. I suspect that this woman is a spy of the Shadi sect working beside Abu Hadi, and she assassinated you for some unknown reason. ".

"The Black Mountain Faction and Droshadi?"

Nomudalei's eyes narrowed. He originally thought that the officials in Yarkant were all incompetent people, but he didn't expect there to be such ruthless characters. Na Shadi had set up a plan in Kuqa two years ago. His plans were grand and he was by no means a mediocre person. He sent someone to assassinate him, indicating that he had seen the threat from Mongolia to Yarkant. The enemy is already on guard, and continuing the southern expedition may not be successful. It is better to give up when the situation is good and move the troops back to the grassland."

"Cough~cough~cough~"

Although most of the poison has been resolved, the remaining poison still hurt his internal organs and made him cough endlessly.

"Send my order to slaughter Abu Hadi's entire family and confiscate his property." A vicious order spat out from Nomudale's mouth.

In fact, he knew in his heart that this assassin was definitely not sent by Abu Hadi. If this person had the guts to assassinate, why would he surrender in the first place? However, after all, he was once the governor of Kuqa. Although the army was incorporated, he still had great influence among the surrendered army and local officials. If this person is alive, it will be detrimental to his annexation of Kuqa! I simply took the opportunity to pull out this thorn!

There was an unexpected harvest! When the Mongolian army inspected Abu Hadi's property, they found more money than in Kuqa's treasury. Nomudalei was overjoyed and ordered to reward the three armies. As soon as the reward was given, everyone in the three armies was happy, and even the morale of the surrendering army became much more stable.

At that time, he followed the advice of his son Suletan and set up counties in Da and Xiao Yuledus, built cities and farmed fields, and imitated the Ming Dynasty's official system of management. The effect was very good. Now they are following the same pattern and setting up prefectures and counties in Chalishi and Kuqa.

Chalishi Prefecture consists of two counties: Chalishi and Tiemenguan. The government is Chalishi, plus six nomadic households. Saihan, a Mongolian, is the prefect, and there are Tongzhi, Tongpan, County Magistrate, and County Magistrate. He also ordered Erdun, the head of a thousand Mongolian households, to lead 1,000 Mongolian troops and 3,000 surrendered troops to guard Chali Shi Mansion.

Kuqa Prefecture consists of three counties: Kuqa, Luntai, and Baicheng. The prefectural government is Kuqa, plus five nomadic households. The Mongolian Su De is the prefect, and there are subordinate officials at all levels. He also orders thousands of Mongolian households to fill the capital. Latu led a thousand Mongolian troops and four thousand surrender troops to guard Kuche Mansion.

At the same time, he ordered the merger of Greater Yuledus County and Little Yuledus County into Yuledus Prefecture, with the Mongolian Muren as the prefect.

His son Suletan and his son's teacher Liu Haogu had repeatedly advised him to implement this method of separation of military and political affairs and control of civil and military affairs. It is said that the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains used this method to effectively strengthen the imperial power, suppress the separatist rule of vassal towns, and also allow the Han Dynasty to live for hundreds of years, far exceeding that of Mongolia.

Nomdale believed this deeply and had always wanted to implement it. However, the Noyan system that integrated military and political affairs had been implemented in Mongolia for hundreds of years. Reforming it was not easy! It can only be promoted slowly.

After consolidating his rule in the two prefectures of Chalishi and Kuqa, he rested for a few days. After feeling that his body had recovered, he returned to the grassland with 4,000 Mongolian troops and 2,000 surrendered troops. The one-year expedition conquered a vast land with a population of more than 200,000 from a land with only tens of thousands of people. It can be said that the harvest was huge!

A long convoy, loaded with looted gold, silver, jewelry and some craftsmen returned to Yuledus. This group of craftsmen will greatly strengthen Yuledus’ smelting and manufacturing capabilities. In fact, with the addition of the 15,000 people robbed from the three cities of Kunmi, Subashi and Tuosun in Turpan a few months ago, the population of large and small Yuledus counties has doubled, and agriculture and handicrafts have become more and more popular. The land prospered.

Hearing that his father had made a triumphant return, the twelve-year-old Suletan, Tiemoer, and Balsi civil and military officials greeted him outside the Great Yuledus Valley.

After not seeing his father for a year, the young man was in an excited mood. He stood on tiptoes and looked into the distance. A long torrent appeared in my eyes, and the Mongolian cavalry went home! The leader is majestic and majestic, with the domineering air of a king. He is none other than Jinomudale, the leader of the Huite Department.

"Eqi Ge!" Suletan shouted excitedly. He really missed his father.

"My son, come to me and let Eqi Ge see it." Nomudalei laughed happily, "Well, I have grown taller and stronger!"

"Eqige, how is your health? The old disease has not recurred, right?" Sultan asked his father with concern.

"Well, all of us Mongolian men are made of iron. A little problem doesn't matter." Nomdalei looked relaxed and straightened his back to show off his strong physique.

The father and son entered the city talking and laughing, followed by the army returning in triumph.

"Oh!"

Suddenly, Nomudale fell heavily from his horse without any warning, frightening everyone.

"Eqi Ge", Suletan quickly supported his father and shouted: "Quick, go find the doctor!"

The doctor tried his best to save him, but the old father fell unconscious. Sultan summoned Batu Hetan, Nasutu, Tuoli, and Xirimo and asked, "What's going on? Why is my father like this?"

"Shaotaiji and Dataiji were assassinated and injured when they were attending a banquet in Kuqa. The dagger was poisonous. The injury was not healed and there was an old illness, so that's why!" explained the ministers.

"Assassination? Who is so bold as to dare to hurt my father?"

"We suspect that it was the Yarkand Montenegrin sect and Zhuo Shadi."

"Shadi? If I catch you this year, I will cut you into pieces." Sultan was furious.

As a son of man, you should be filial. He served his father with all his clothes on and refused to take a break.

After a long time, Nomudale woke up and said, "Water, give me water."

"Eqi Ge, the water is here." Sultan handed him a glass of water.

"You haven't slept yet?" Nomudale was very moved. He coughed a few times and ordered someone to take out a knife. "Son, this is the knife used by your grandfather Erselebecha. Back then, Eastern Mongolia invaded I am Oirat. Your grandfather used this knife to cut off the head of Jibuyan Batur, Hutai, Ordos."

Mentioning his father, Nomudale looked admiring, "My son, do you know how your grandfather killed Buyan Batur back then?"

Suletan had heard this story told by his father countless times since he was a child. He opened his mouth and replied: "Back then, my grandfather pretended to surrender to Eastern Mongolia and sent 2500 camels, each carrying 2 boxes with hidden soldiers, in the name of offering tribute. , raided Buyan Batur’s military camp and killed the beast.”

"Well, you must remember that to be a king, you must not only be brave, but also have a plan." Nomudale panted heavily and said with difficulty: "Your grandfather passed the sword to me back then, and today I pass it on to you." Here it is. From now on, you will be the Great Taiji of the Huite Tribe."
