Usurping the Mongols: My Father-in-Law is Genghis Khan

Zhao Shuo continued, "Now, you will form your own teams. Ten people will select a head of ten households. Ten heads of ten households will select a head of a hundred households. Remember, when selecting people, you must be impartial and choose the most capable. If the task assigned to the ten households is not completed, the head of the ten households will be beheaded. If the task assigned to the hundred households is not completed, the head of the hundred households will be beheaded. If the head of ten households dies in battle and the body cannot be retrieved, all will be beheaded. If the body is retrieved, five out of ten will be randomly selected and beheaded. The same applies to the head of a hundred households."

Someone asked, "What if there is a dispute and a head of ten or a hundred households cannot be selected?"

Zhao Shuo said, "Then it will be decided by… Mo Chi Bie Du Wen!"

"Here!"

Mo Chi Bie Du Wen stepped out from behind Zhao Shuo.

Zhao Shuo said, "Mo Chi Bie Du Wen, you are the military law officer under my command. Now, I order you to temporarily take over the position of commander of the Balu Battalion. If they cannot select some heads of ten or a hundred households, you will directly appoint them."

"Yes, thank you for your cultivation, Prince Consort!"

Mo Chi Bie Du Wen was extremely happy now.

He was brave in battle and made many meritorious contributions, but because of his low EQ, he was ranked outside the eighty-eight thousand household heads and did not get the position of thousand household head.

At Temujin's suggestion, he came to Zhao Shuo to try his luck.

And now he got it!

Temporary is also fine!

The Balu Battalion is a large camp with more than three thousand people.

Soon, under the leadership of Mo Chi Bie Du Wen, the Balu Battalion was reorganized, and three hundred and sixteen heads of ten households were selected. Thirty-one heads of a hundred households.

The thousand household heads above that could not be chosen by the prisoners.

Zhao Shuo transferred three Mongolian hundred household heads to join the Balu Battalion as thousand household heads.

The Mongolian soldiers originally under these three Mongolian hundred household heads were transformed into the "thousand household head's" personal guards. They did not have to participate in combat, but together with Mo Chi Bie Du Wen, they supervised and controlled the prisoners of the Balu Battalion. They usually supervised the prisoners' work and distributed supplies, issued weapons before the battle, supervised the battle and counted the results, and collected the weapons and distributed the spoils after the battle.

"The Prince Consort is generous!"

...

For the soldiers, money and beauties are the most stimulating to their bloodlust and ambition. With the brutal Mongolians as their backing, would it be difficult for them to obtain wealth and beauties?

As for the opportunity to reunite with their families, they didn't take it to heart, after all, it was too far away in their imagination.

However, in fact, this day is not far away,

Because the envoy of Western Xia seeking peace, Li Anquan, is coming soon.

...

...

Three days later, news came from Li Chengzhen that he had led his defeated troops to retreat to Keyi Gate.

Behind Keyi Gate is the capital of Western Xia, Zhongxing Prefecture.

In other words, as long as the Mongol army breaks through Wulohai City, which is currently under siege, and then captures Keyi Gate, they can reach the capital of Western Xia, Zhongxing Prefecture, destroy its state and destroy its country.

Western Xia did not dare to neglect and quickly sent Prime Minister Li Anquan with a large number of gifts to the Mongol army camp to seek peace.

Temujin did not meet with Li Anquan, but after discussing with Zhao Shuo and Hulan, he asked Zhao Shuo and Hulan to receive him on his behalf.

"The military might of the Great Mongol Empire, your country has already seen. It is indeed a fierce and invincible army, a rare elite in the world. Please, Great Mongol Empire, have mercy on our Xia country for the sake of the heavens and temporarily cease the war," Li Anquan said respectfully.

This was a thirty-eight-year-old middle-aged man with a slender figure and handsome face. However, his complexion was unnaturally pale, as if he lacked healthy rosiness, and his eyes also revealed a kind of timidity and fatigue, appearing to be indulging in wine and women, losing his due radiance.

He spoke in Tangut language, which was translated into Mongolian by the interpreter behind him.

Zhao Shuo nodded slightly and said in Mongolian, "Easy to say, easy to say. But I wonder what conditions Western Xia is prepared to offer to make Mongolia cease the war?"

Li Anquan said, "First, our Xia country is willing to recognize Mongolia as the superior country. Our Lord, the Emperor of Xia, recognizes Genghis Khan of the Great Mongol Empire as his uncle, I wonder what the Prince Consort thinks?"

"Bold!" Zhao Shuo said with "sudden anger", "Who doesn't know that the Xia country and the Jin country are countries of ruler and subject. If Genghis Khan became the uncle of the Emperor of Xia, wouldn't that be the same as paying tribute to the Jin country?"

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

"Prince Consort, please calm down! Please calm down!"

Li Anquan's face was full of grievances, and he thought to himself: Aren't you Mongolians always paying tribute to the Jin country? Temujin has also received the official position of "Zha Wu Tie Hu Li" from the Jin country.

However, circumstances are stronger than people, he dared not argue, but said: "Prince Consort, please feel free to make any requests, if the relationship of uncle and nephew is not acceptable, the relationship of father and son can also be discussed!"

Zhao Shuo did not speak and winked at Hulan.

Hulan said, "Don't even mention the relationship of father and son, even the relationship of grandfather and grandson is not acceptable. To put it bluntly, Western Xia must become a vassal of Mongolia, and sever diplomatic relations with the Jin country, and no longer submit to the Jin country."

"This...this...this..." Li Anquan's face was full of embarrassment, and said tremblingly, "This matter is really important, I really can't make the decision. Can you and the Prince Consort listen to the second condition?"

"Speak."

"Our Xia country is willing to offer 50,000 taels of gold, 100,000 taels of silver, 100,000 bolts of silk, 20,000 camels, and 500 beauties to reward the army. Please Genghis Khan, for the sake of these gifts, withdraw from the territory of Xia."

"You're dreaming!" Zhao Shuo said, "In addition to these properties, you must also cede land. For example, Wulohai City must belong to my Mongolia."

Hulan continued, "Also, all activities of my Mongolian merchants in Western Xia must be unimpeded. If there are any acts of wrongdoing, Western Xia can only temporarily arrest them. How to deal with them specifically is up to my Mongolia to decide."

Zhao Shuo continued, "Some prisoners have already surrendered to my Great Mongol Empire. Whenever my Mongolia issues a list, Western Xia must unconditionally return their family members."

Hulan added, "There is one last condition, Xia must pay tribute to my Mongolia every year with 10,000 taels of gold, 50,000 taels of silver, 10,000 bolts of silk, 200 iron falcons, and 300 divine arm crossbows to show submission."

"This...this...this..."

Li Anquan did not expect that Zhao Shuo and Hulan would sing in harmony and ask for such a high price. He said tremblingly, "I am a minor official, and I can't make the decision on anything except the matter of merchants. Can you allow me to go back and report to the court before making a decision?"

"Of course." Zhao Shuo smiled slightly and said, "However, before you go back, I will first invite you to watch a wonderful performance."

"What performance?"

"Watch my Mongolia, how to break through Wulohai City!"
