Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 200: Using marriage to create a killing trap (Part )

Gumubu and Sonomu Celing followed Aldar to the tent of Daiqing and Shuoqi in Omubu. In the big tent, Emubu Daiqing and Shuoqi sat in the middle, and Tuoyin, Da'e, Talhun, Elinqin, Batur, and Babai all gathered together.

"Fifth brother, eighth brother, this is Brihan Taiji of the Torgut tribe. My uncle sent him to discuss marriage with us." Daiqing and Shuoqi of Ombu introduced a middle-aged man to them.

The man was fair and well-dressed, and smiled politely at the two of them.

"Fourth brother, what is there to discuss? You and your cousin are a match made in heaven."

"Yes, there is nothing better than a kiss."

Gu Mubu and Sonomu Celing cheered loudly.

Seeing that all the Taijis agreed to the marriage, the marriage was decided.

According to tradition, the man needs to send an elder to the woman's house to discuss the amount of the bride price.

Emubu Daiqing and Shuoqi asked their cousin Elinqin Batur: "Is the fourth uncle's body and bones feeling better?"

Elinqin Batur's eyes were red, "Mengda Taiji is thinking about me. Eqige's health has been getting worse these days and he can no longer get out of bed."

"Alas!" Emubu Daiqing and Shuoqi sighed. The fourth uncle Bao Yileden is the only elder who can represent him. Due to the military pressure of the Junggar tribe, the eldest uncle Erke Yileden, the second uncle Galdang Haledai, and the fifth uncle Yilden Ubasdu Batur Hutaiji who had surrendered to Junggar.

Since the fourth uncle Bao Yileden can't go, the only one left is the third brother Tuoyin. But he is a monk and it is not easy for him to get involved in worldly affairs. At that time, Oirat worshiped Bagas Khan and wanted to become a monk. In order to dispel the idea of ​​​​the Great Khan, the great lords of various tribes sent a son Dang Tuoyin (a guru from a noble family). The third brother Tuoyin became Tuoyin, but although he was a monk, he had his own territory and gave birth to his son Babai.

Unable to find any elders who could be sent as envoys, Omubu Daiqing and Shuoqi frowned.

"Why don't Dadaiji go there in person? It's just a good time to discuss the division of pasture land between you and me, so as to avoid discord between our own families." Brighan smiled warmly, with a personable demeanor that made people feel good. Since moving to Kukwusu, the Durbot tribe and the Turgut branch that stayed in the Kazakh grasslands have often clashed over the pastures. There is indeed a need to demarcate pastures and reduce conflicts.

"Well, please go back and tell your uncle that I will go to see him in person." Ombu Daiqing and Shuoqi made the decision.

Legend has it that there was a king in ancient times who had seven sons, all of whom had dark skin. For this reason they were called Crets (Kereid). Later, the various descendants of these sons gradually acquired specialized names. In the end, Crete came to be used as the name for the branch of the tribe in which the king was king; the other sons became servants of the brother who became king, and they were not kings.

This is the legend about the Crete tribe recorded in "Historical Collection". Because of this legend, this tribe has always believed that it is the master of the Mongolian grassland, and other tribes are just its servants. The leader of the tribe, Wang Han, once married Anda, Genghis Khan's father, Yesugei Atuer, and helped Genghis Khan. But one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and was eventually defeated by Genghis Khan.

The Torguts are the direct descendants of the Cret tribe. Klet and Orlek have always longed to restore the glory of their ancestors and were ashamed to submit to other tribes. Therefore, he was not afraid of moving thousands of miles and traveled westward to the lower reaches of the Ezil River (Volga River), established the Turgut Khanate, and called himself the Great Khan. Although the various tribes in Oirat do not recognize it, they still call it Huitai Ji. It is also good to be able to experience the addiction of sweating profusely within the tribe.

On the banks of the Agangheba River, a tributary of the Ejile River, the Great Khan's tent stood majestically in the biting cold wind, surrounded by densely packed ger (yurts).

Clete and Orlek took a sip of brick tea and let out a long sigh of contentment. "It is better to live without food for three days than to live without tea for one day." However, since they moved to the Ejile River, this thing has become more expensive.

As an ancient political figure in Oiratmon, he participated in the westward migration of Oirat and experienced countless bloody storms. Although he is old now, he is still as strong as a tiger and the blood in his chest has never cooled down. At that time, because he was dissatisfied with the civil war in Oirat and had disagreements with Hara Hula and Dalai Taishi, he resolutely led his troops to move west again to the lower reaches of the Ezil River and established the Turgut Khanate. Although the ministries in Oirat did not recognize his position, they no longer had to rely on others. How can the descendants of Wang Han be controlled by others? Over the years, a group of old brothers, including Bagas, Dalai Taishi, Halahula and Tulubaihu, have died one after another, leaving this old hero with a constant feeling of loneliness.

He felt that his body was not as strong as before, so he tried his best to cultivate his eldest son, Kelet Shukur Daiqing. On this day, he summoned him to the sweat tent to discuss matters.

"Eqi Ge, I have followed your instructions and ordered people to spread rumors everywhere. Now it is spreading throughout the whole country. The generals of Oros Astrakhan invaded our territory of Turgut. We have been defeated in succession and our survival is precarious." , Shukuer Daiqing reported.

Since receiving the support of all the Oirat tribes at the last Chulgan Conference where the "Mongolian-Oirat Code" was formulated, the Orleks and Orluks became more majestic and immediately launched an offensive against the Oros who entered the Volga River, trying to expel them. . After arriving at the lush grasslands of the lower reaches of the Volga River, the Turguts took a few years to recuperate and then conquered the local Nogai and some small Kazakh and Crimean tribes, greatly increasing their population and livestock. After their strength increased, their ambitions grew. They not only wanted to drive away the Oros people, but also wanted to annex the entire Kazakh grassland.

The current real situation in the Volga River is actually that he is using his superiority in military strength to suppress the Oros people. The reason why there are rumors that "the generals of Astrakhan invaded the territory of Torgut, and the Torgut people were defeated in a row, and the situation is critical" was all a good show directed and performed by this old man.

Although Oros had few soldiers and horses in the lower reaches of the Volga River, the castle they built was very strong, and their guns and cannons were sharp and not easy to fight. At this time, in Oirat, the two heroes of the Junggar tribe and the Huite tribe were fighting each other. The Heshuote tribe and the Duerbot tribe were divided. There was no big force to suppress him anymore. It was a good opportunity to expand the territory! He set his sights on the fertile Kazakh grasslands and planned to operate on Kazakh Yangir Khan. In order to destroy the enemy, you must first make the enemy relax his vigilance. Therefore, he concocted the rumors.

"Well, you did a good job," he praised Orlek, his eyes as sharp as an eagle.

"Great Khan, Brihan Taiji has returned from Kukwusu", the personal guard came to report.

"Let him come in," He Orlek ordered calmly.

"See the Great Khan", Brihan saluted respectfully.

"No, how did things go?" Xiong Xiong asked seriously, and a faint pressure was released. This is the unique aura of those who have been in power for a long time.

"Omubu Daiqing and Shuoqi agree to the marriage and are willing to come to your Khan tent to discuss the betrothal gift in person," Brihan reported.

"Very good! You've worked hard, please step aside and rest." He and Orlek waved him away.

"Alas! Sister Baoler finally has a good home!" Shukuer Daiqing sighed.

Keret Baoler, which means crystal in Mongolian, has just turned twenty this year and is the youngest daughter of He and Orlek. She got married when she was sixteen, but her husband was short-lived and died within two years, leaving her a widow at a young age. Mongolia has a small population, and a childless widow usually has to remarry her husband's brother. However, her husband is an only son, and as a noble daughter of Turghut, she does not want to marry anyone casually, so she is delayed every time she comes and goes. Now that the famous girl finally has a master, Shukuer Daiqing is really happy for her little sister.

"Well, I hope this marriage will make the Dulbert people support us, at least they can no longer support Yangirhan and Kundulun Ubash," He said coldly to Orlek, not finding a home for his daughter at all. And rejoice. He only has the world in his eyes. The noble daughters of Torhut must marry for the benefit of the Torhut tribe. This is their inherent responsibility. As for whether his daughter would be happy after marriage, the old father had never considered it.

Today's Kazakh Khanate has not yet recovered from the previous civil strife. Yangir Khan, who has insufficient prestige, has difficulty mobilizing princes from various places, so his strength is not strong. But this is a wise monarch who knows the importance of finding allies. He worshiped as his adoptive father the Heshuote Dadai Ji Kundu Lun Ubas who was defeated in the Oirat Civil War and moved to the Seven Rivers Basin. Two chopsticks held together are naturally harder to break than one chopstick.

After Shukuer Daiqing led the Dulbert people to defect to Kundulun Ubashi, he became the third chopstick that hugged each other closely.

This iron triangle alliance caused a headache for He and Orlek, who wanted to swallow up the Kazakh grasslands. Yangjier Khan is his first target for annexation. He has nothing to say and can only fight to the death; Kundulun Ubashi is an older generation of his own contemporaries, with rich experience and difficult to bribe. So he set his sights on the younger Omubu Daiqing and Shuoqi, hoping to divide the alliance through marriage.

"But Eqi Ge, my cousin has always valued friendship. Kundulun Ubashi and Yangjier Khan took him in when he was in crisis. I'm afraid they may not betray them because of the marriage." Shukul Daiqing put forward his own worries.

"If Omubu Daiqing and Shuoqi are not willing to support us, they will kill him when he comes to my tent to discuss the betrothal gift. After Daletesh's death, the only person who can bring the Dulbert people together is This person. As long as this person is eliminated, the Dulbert people will definitely split again without a whip holder, and there is nothing to be afraid of." He sneered with Orlek.

"What! Eqi Ge, he is my cousin and your nephew, how can I do this? Besides, wouldn't sister Baoler become a widow again?" Shukuer Daiqing was shocked. .

"Absurd! How can we take into account family ties when fighting for the world? What is more important, the happiness of a mere woman or the rise and fall of the entire tribe? You stand down first and tell me after you think about it clearly." He Orlek was furious.

"Pray for Ge", Shukuer Daiqing wanted to say more.

"Go, go," the old man waved him away. Seeing him leaving, he sighed again, "This kid is good at everything, but he is too soft-hearted and lacks the determination to kill. It seems that this matter is just I can ask the second-oldest brother, Gunbu Ileden, to do it!"
