My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 247 Is it so important that the Great Khan is his own child?

Ulaanbaatar
As one of the famous large tribes in Mongolia, the Chahar tribe not only has a large number of people, but also occupies a large and fertile area on the grassland. Ulaanbaatar is where its royal court is located.

The permanent population of Ulaanbaatar is not large, just over 10,000 and less than 20,000.

This is determined by the geographical environment of the grassland, because the grassland is so large, there are only so many pastures, and the number of cattle and sheep that can be accommodated is limited. The environment also destined the nomadic people to live in scattered places.

"Woo...Woo..."

Accompanied by a blast of desolate horns, a large group of cavalry galloped towards the royal court from a distance. Their speed was very fast until a group of Mongolian cavalry with yellow cloth strips tied on their arms rushed out from the royal court. Only then did the team slow down.

These cavalrymen with yellow cloth strips on their arms are the most elite Qixue troops in Mongolia, and they are also the guardians of the Mongolian royal court.

The leader of this timid Xue army is a man in his thirties, with a unique Mongolian appearance, medium width cheekbones, a low nose bridge, moderately thick lips, and slightly protruding forward, rough skin, giving people a A weathered feeling.

Seeing the timid Xue army approaching, a man quickly came out from the cavalry group. This man was none other than Qing Geertai, the left prime minister of the Chahar tribe.

Since Totuo Buhua died of illness suddenly, Qinggeltai's slender and long eyes have become sharper, and coupled with the prominent cheekbones, they appear more aggressive.

Sukhbalu's expression was still indifferent. He took out the scimitar from his waist and looked at Qingertai: "Then let us fight first. As long as you kill us all, there will be no one left." Preventing you from entering."

Qinggeltai's expression changed when he heard this, and his tone became cold: "What if I insist on bringing someone in?"

At this time, Namuzhong was sitting on the large chair in the big tent, looking coldly at Qing Geertai who was sitting opposite her.

Qinggeertai looked at the visitor and laughed and said: "Sukhbaru, how is our Namu Zhongkedun doing now? I heard that her health is not very good these days. I want to go in and visit her." Dun, please get out of the way."

As the tent that symbolizes the Great Khan, this tent is very large, covering more than two hundred square meters. It is also covered with precious carpets from Persia, and the furnishings in the tent are also extremely magnificent.

Qinggeltai was so angry that his nostrils opened and closed several times faster, and his eyes became colder. He glanced at the other party coldly, "Sukhbaru, your loyalty to Tuo Tuo Bu Hua makes me sad. I am very touched and hope you can keep this persistence until the last moment of your life!"

In the end, the helpless Qinggeltai had no choice but to compromise. He couldn't go to war with the Xue army guarding the royal court in broad daylight. The loss of his prestige would be too great.

Facing the threat from Qingertai, Sukhbalu still didn't have too many emotional fluctuations, but still looked at the opponent stubbornly.

"Mis... miso miso"

Looking at the unkind-looking cavalry in front of him, Qinggeltai felt secretly resentful, but he still raised his right hand and swung it left and right to signal those behind him not to reveal their weapons.

Sukhbalu looked at Qinggertai and said calmly: "Prime Minister Zuo, thank you for your concern. Our Ketun is in good health and she is taking care of the little prince now.

Sukhbalu smiled calmly: "Prime Minister Zuo, Namu Zhongketun is the wife of Totuo Buhua Dahan, and the little prince is also the flesh and blood of Tuotuo Buhua Dahan. What's wrong with me being loyal to them?
Everyone will die of old age one day. You don’t want your wife and children to be bullied by your subordinates after you return to the embrace of Changshengtian, right? "

Qinggertai looked at Namu Zhong, who had just given birth to a child, and had become more plump and slim, and her appearance was still fair and beautiful. He did not hide his inner desire at all, and said with hot eyes, "Beautiful Namu Zhong Kedun, I wonder how you have considered my last proposal?

Unwilling to do so, he could only turn around and give a few instructions, then rode towards the big tent opposite. Soon he came to a stop outside the royal tent.

As Sukhbalu finished speaking, hundreds of cavalrymen behind him also drew out their weapons and looked at Qinggeltai and the others with cold eyes.

It's not impossible if you want to go in to visit Kedon, but you can only go in alone, because if too many people go in, I'm worried that some unclean things will be transmitted to the little prince. After all, the little prince is still too young now. . "

For the Mongols, such an accusation is already quite severe. It is almost like pointing at Qingertai's nose and calling him a villain who betrays his master.

In his opinion, as a winner, he does not need to care too much about the actions of these small characters. As long as he can ascend the throne of the Great Khan, the humiliation of the past will be recovered a hundredfold.

He looked at the man in front of him and frowned: "Sukhbaru, you are a tiger of our Chahar tribe. Why do you have to kneel under a woman? Look at you, you still look like Chahar." Warrior of the tribe?”

Qinggertai, who was being searched, was extremely cooperative, but a disdainful sneer appeared on his lips from time to time.

When Qinggetai came outside the big tent, he was searched all over by the four Qing Xue soldiers who were guarding here, and then they let him in.

You know, my conditions are already very favorable. As long as you remarry me, your tribe will still enjoy my care as before, and you can still become the new Ketun. Aren't you satisfied? "

"is it?"

Namuzhong sneered: "You just said you would take care of my tribe, but you only forgot about my son Battle.

If I guess correctly, on the day I declare my surrender to you, my Battelle will die quietly in a corner, right? "

Qinggertai frowned, "Namuzhong, you should know.

On the grassland, when the old lion king dies, the first thing the new lion king has to do is to kill the old lion king's cubs, because no lion king will tolerate the old lion king's cubs growing up. If you challenge yourself again, you won’t even understand such a simple truth, right? "

"Of course I know."

Namuzhong said softly, then suddenly stood up and said sternly: "But I never agree.

Battle is my flesh and blood, and he is also the only descendant left by the Great Khan. I will never allow anyone to harm him, even if it costs my life! "

At this time, Namuzhong stared at Qinggertai like an angry lioness trying to protect her cub.

"Ha ha……"

Looking at the furious Namuzhong, Qinggertai suddenly smiled, but his voice was so cold, "Namuzhong, there is a proverb among the Han people that people with knowledge do not speak secretly.

You know best whether your Battle is a piece of flesh and blood that doesn’t take a lot of effort to get rid of.

Everyone is not a fool. You have been married to Tuotuo Buhua for more than ten years. Let alone children, you have never even laid an egg. After you were captured by the Han people last year, you suddenly became pregnant when you came back. Who is this child? Needless to say, I'm a bastard? You actually threatened me with the bastards of the Han people. Do you think I would be afraid? "

"Han bastard?"

Namuzhong also took the risk, she pointed at Qinggertai with her hands on her hips and sneered: "Qinggertai, do you think you are the only smart person in the world?
What can you think of that Tuo Tuo Bu Hua Han wouldn’t think of?

The child I give birth to will eventually be called Abu (father). As for whether it is the biological child of the Great Khan, is it so important? "

Good guy...good guy...

Namuzhong's words instantly numbed Qinggertai. If Jia Yu were here, she would have given him a thumbs up.

There is a tradition for emotional women to box. If these remarks were heard by the little fairies of later generations, they would probably arouse the climax of countless female boxers.

If it were in Daxia, Namuzhong's words would be enough to get her imprisoned in a pig cage, but for thousands of years of fighting against snowstorms, wolves, and other tribes, it can be said that she has been fighting for survival. For the struggling nomads, this is really not a big deal.

Seeing that he could not convince Namuzhong, Qinggeltai took a deep breath and his eyes became fierce.

"Namuzhong, since you don't eat the toast, I can only treat you to a fine drink.

I'll give you another half month. If you still don't agree to my conditions on the Ancestor Worship Festival, I will reveal to the leaders of each tribe that you gave birth to a Han bastard.

Not only that, I will also propose to all tribal leaders in the name of Prime Minister Zuo to re-elect a new Great Khan. I hope your attitude will still be so tough. "

After saying that, Qinggertai stood up, glanced greedily at Namu Zhong's graceful body, and then strode out.

After Qing Geertai went out, Namuzhong fell down on the chair, her original angry expression became full of frustration, then lowered her head and started to cry.

The Ancestor Worship Festival is a traditional festival of the Mongolian people, established to commemorate Genghis Khan, the ancestor of the Mongolian people.

The more powerful the tribe, the more important it is to this festival, especially for large tribes like the Chahar tribe with hundreds of thousands of people.

At that time, not only the two prime ministers and four captains of ten thousand men will participate, but also the leaders of more than ten small tribes who have joined the Chahar tribe. The number of people participating in the event can even reach more than 100,000.

Just now Qinggeltai threatened Namu Zhong, saying that he would reveal the matter at the Ancestor Worship Festival and demanding the re-election of a new khan. This was to force Namu Zhong into the palace, and he did not even rule out the possibility of using force.

It stands to reason that as Tuotao Buhua's widow, Namuzhong should inherit the tribe and soldiers left by Tuotao Buhua.

But it is a pity that as a nation accustomed to the law of the jungle, Tuotuo did not spend his life. The small tribes and some soldiers who usually relied on him immediately began to be in chaos after they lost the objects to rely on.

Qinggeltai took the opportunity to coerce and lure those people, and soon won over a large number of people. Even if the rest did not agree to defect immediately, they were still waiting and watching.

Up to now, the only people who are still loyal to Namu Zhong are the leader of the Qixue Army headed by Sukhbalu and his more than 5,000 Qiexue Army.

But even the more than 5,000 Qie Xue troops are showing signs of instability. If it were not for Sukhbalu's prestige, I am afraid that all the more than 5,000 Qie Xue troops would have fled.

Namuzhong sat in silence for a long time, then walked behind the big tent and picked up a swaddling baby from a crib. Looking at the baby still sleeping soundly in the swaddling clothes, she wept and said: "My Battle, your mother Someone has put a machete to his neck, but there is no news about your father.

God, why is my life so miserable? Those people are not even willing to let go of my child?
My love, why have you received no news at all, not even a letter? "

What Namuzhong didn't know was that Jia Yu did regard what happened in Xuan Mansion as a bad fate, and he didn't know that she was pregnant with her own child, let alone that Tuo Tuo Bu Hua died so soon. .

After all, the other party is Tutuo Buhua. If he rashly writes to Namu Zhong, it will be troublesome if Tutuo Buhua finds out. After all, no one can tolerate his own woman and other men. Hooking up, not to mention Tuotuo Buhua, a tycoon who has ruled the Chahar tribe for decades.

…………

On the endless grassland, the blue sky extends into the distance, and the white clouds float leisurely in the sky, as if guarding this vast land.

A team wearing red and white military uniforms marched slowly on the grassland, carrying muskets on their shoulders, and their steps were strong and steady. The queue stretched endlessly, like a long dragon with no end in sight, walking through this silence.

Occasionally, the cheerful calls of small animals can be heard in the distance. They are playing and chasing among the grasslands, adding a touch of life and vitality to the tranquility.

This team was led by Jia Yu from the Huben camp and several other troops from the Beijing camp.

Although there were still many objections to this expedition in the court, due to the endorsement of Emperor Changping and the consent of several cabinet ministers, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs did not embarrass them.

The most important point is that Jia Yu has just obtained more than 56 million taels of silver for the imperial court, which suddenly made the national treasury extremely abundant. Everyone in the imperial court had to think of his kindness, so this On this expedition, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War rarely cooperated well, and the mobilization of various supplies and food was also quite smooth.

Of course, before that, Jia Yu also found Ye Tan, Minister of the Ministry of War, and Geng Benzheng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and gave the Xue family a place to be responsible for part of the material transportation.

Although the number cannot be large, it is already a piece of pie in the sky for the Xue family.

This also made Aunt Xue so excited that she kept thanking her. Xue Pan even asked Jia Yu a little rudely if he wanted to have a wife as well. If so, he might as well consider his sister.

This also made Xue Baochai so angry that he punched his brother several times.

Naturally, it is impossible for tens of thousands of troops to go out in one go. Just setting off will take several days.

As the vanguard force, the Huben Camp led by Jia Yu was naturally followed by the Fifth Army Camp.

This cavalry used to be the most elite unit in the Beijing camp in the past, but it was a pity that it was disabled in the Battle of Tongguan. Although it has been rebuilt now, it is hard to say what its combat effectiveness is. And the commander-in-chief of this unit is none other than It was Jia Yu's former nobleman, Feng Tang, the commander-in-chief of the front camp.
