Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 606: Mother and son fight for the throne (Part )
The Kherulun River, which originates from the eastern foot of Burhan Mountain (Kent Mountain) and flows into Hulun Lake (Dalai Lake), is of great significance to the Mongols. The original grazing lands of the Qiyan tribe, where Genghis Khan was born, as well as the Tataer tribe and the Hongjira tribe, are all on both sides of this river, which can be called the mother river of the Mongols.

The boundless grassland with rich pasture has nurtured generations of Mongolians and is now the pastureland of the Chechen Khan tribe. After Shuolei Khan's death, Chechnya was divided and had no strength to participate in the civil war in Khalkha. Instead, it became a paradise in Mobei.

Next to a large lattice (tent) on the north bank of the Kherulun River, there is a sweat flag with a Sulu ingot pattern printed on it. This is the sweat tent of the Chechen tribe. But now there is no Great Khan, only the Queen, yes, the Queen, that's what the Oros call her. After the death of Shuolei Khan, his Kedun Ahaihatun became the regent and took charge of the affairs of the Khan's court. Although she was a woman, she showed unparalleled energy and used all her strength to save the Chechnya from falling into the abyss of civil war. The Oros respected her very much and called her Queen Taika (or Taika).

"Cough~cough~cough~"

A violent coughing sound echoed in the room. Ahaihatun covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and the pure white handkerchief immediately turned bright red.

"Kedun", the maid serving at the side called worriedly.

Ahaihatun waved his hand calmly, "Don't worry, the asthma is an old problem. Just boil the medicine according to the prescription prescribed by the doctor last time."

"Yes", the maid breathed a sigh of relief and bowed out of the tent.

Ahaihatun felt sad. He knows his own family affairs, and time is not forgiving. He is nearly 60 years old, and his body and bones are getting worse day by day. She seemed to hear the call of her late husband Shuolei, "Husband!" Don't be anxious, I can't leave now. If I leave, who will pass the Chechen riding crop to?
She was more than ten years younger than Shuolei Khan. She was his second wife and his confidant. Shuolei Khan took it as his own mission to revive the great cause of Genghis Khan throughout his life, actively supported his brother-in-law Lin Dan Khan to unify Mongolia, and took over the banner of revitalizing Mongolia after the defeat of Lin Dan Khan. However, in the battle of rebellion against the Qing Dynasty when the leader of the Mongolian Sunit tribe took the opportunity to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, my husband and Tuxietu Khan Gunbu joined forces with 50,000 troops, but they were defeated by the 20,000 Eight Banners. That battle completely shattered the husband's ambition. After returning to the sweat tent, he vomited blood and became seriously ill.

"Ahai, you are my favorite woman. Logically speaking, our son Tangut Erdeni should succeed the Great Khan, but he is too young to convince the public. Now the Chechen Ministry is caught between the major forces. If you are not careful, you will be annexed by others. You must choose a mature, stable and prestigious heir." The last words of the late husband are still in my ears.

She knew that her husband had no choice but to choose Babu as his heir. Among his six sons, the first three died in infancy, and among the remaining three, the fourth, Bemba, was brave and foolhardy; the sixth, Tanggut Erdeni, was spoiled by arrogance since childhood and could not endure hardship; Babu, although capable, Generally speaking, his character is stable. At first, she really wanted to follow her husband's orders and make Babu Khan, but Bemba and Tangut Erdeni refused to comply. In order to stop the civil strife, she had to personally regent. After several years of regency, she gradually took control of the situation and had a new idea in her mind: After all, Tangut Erdeni is my biological son. Can I make my biological son the Khan?
Whenever she thought about this, she always wanted to scold herself. How could she have such selfish and evil thoughts? If you do this, how can you have the honor to see your deceased husband after death? The Chechen tribe has not started to sweat for a long time, and rumors are spreading. The elders in the tribe are saying that Kodun intends to change the order of the first khan and make his own son the khan. This made her, who had always cherished feathers, even more distressed.

"Kedun, Bobei, the right minister of David's Ministry of Rites, is asking for an audience." Suddenly, a personal guard reported.

"Invite him to enter the account," Ahaihatun shouted.

"See you Regent," Bobe saluted politely.

"Minister, no courtesy, you are here to ask my Chechen troops to send troops to jointly attack the Tuxietu people, right?" Ahaihatun looked at Bobei with a smile.

"As a low-ranking officer, I know that nothing can escape your discerning eyes." Bobei smiled. He could not help but respect the Chechen heroine.

"Normally, given my relationship with Chechnya and David, this matter is obligatory. But you also know that now our army is leaderless and it is difficult to command our troops to the west." Ahaihatun sighed.

"With all due respect, you should establish a new Khan as soon as possible and stabilize the people of the tribe." Bobei suddenly changed the subject. "Who do you think is best?" Ahaihatun asked tentatively. She knew that a shrewd person like Bobei would never easily interfere with the succession. After all, it was the most sensitive household matter in the Chechen Ministry. Since she asked, her brother-in-law who was far away in Lhasa must have an intention.

"Of course it's Babu. He is the successor designated by Shuolei Khan. It is justifiable to make him Khan."

Ahaihatun sighed, "I heard that there is a slang saying in China: 'The belly is separated by a layer of mountains'. I don't know what it means? Please give me some advice."

Bobei pursed his lips and felt happy in his heart. You just said that you wanted to make your biological son Tangut Erdeni your khan. Why do you have to make such a big mistake?

"Tangut Erdeni is the biological son of the regent and the nephew of the Great Khan. From an emotional point of view, the Great Khan naturally wants his nephew to be in charge of Chechnya. The story of Ke Shuolei Khan's passing on Babu, the people on the grassland Everyone knows that the name of Tangut Erdeni is not justified; moreover, Tangut Erdeni's power is smaller than that of his two brothers. If the weak one becomes the Great Khan, he will inevitably be attacked by the strong one. , not only is it not a blessing, it is a disaster! You are a wise man, and you must know that it is not advisable to destroy the seedlings and encourage them to grow."

"Alas~" Ahaihatun sighed and said nothing.

Seeing this, Bobei struck while the iron was hot, "Sooner or later, the Chechen tribe will surrender to David, but I, David, only confer a title of nobility and not a khan. To be honest, the Great Khan had an edict and made Babu a third-class Chechen prince. Deni is the third-class Duke of Kerulen and is listed as the Duke of David. He will never treat Tangut Erdeni badly."

After hearing this, Ahaihatun finally expressed his position, "As per the minister, I will make Babu the Khan as soon as possible, and then let Babu march westward to help David attack the Tuxie Tu tribe."

"Taiji, what do you think of my words?" Halahuli looked at the person in front of him with a smile.

"The Tuxie Tubu is really willing to support me as Chechen Khan?" Tangut Erdeni asked in surprise.

He is full of joy and anger, this person is a loser. Halahuli thought disdainfully, but said politely: "Of course, otherwise, why would Gunbu Khan ask his subordinates to send these things?"

Tangut Erdeni opened the gift list, which contained military supplies such as swords, guns, swords and halberds. During the Khalkha War, these things were precious! He couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, "If I become a Chechen Khan, what will Gunbu Khan need from me?"

"Please maintain friendly relations with the Tuxietu tribe and do not help the guards attack us," Halahuli said solemnly.

"That's all?" Tangut Erdeni breathed a sigh of relief and immediately agreed.
