Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 5: Lin'er Yu Huite descended from heaven

Autumn has come, the beautiful Yuledus grassland has turned yellow, and the Huite tribe's big tent is filled with solemnity. Nomudale was arranging what to do after leaving. He was going to the Ob grassland to form an alliance, and he had to explain things in the tribe.

He was not afraid of annexation by Daleitaish, but he was worried that his two younger brothers would cause trouble. After all, as the overlord of one party, Dadaiji still wanted to do things with face. He would never do such a scandalous thing by annexing others when they were in alliance, but it was hard to say that for his two younger brothers. Of the thousand cavalry he brought to the alliance this time, only 300 were elite, and the other 700 were old and weak. On the one hand, he wanted to show weakness to Dadaiji, and more importantly, he wanted to keep the elite troops at his headquarters to prevent unexpected events.

Nomdale's headquarters has 2,000 households and is located in the center of the Yuledus Grassland; his two younger brothers, Noyen Ubas and Buyan Burhan, each have 1,000 households and are located in the northern part of the Yuledus Grassland; Ororik and Shuoqi have one thousand households and are stationed in the west; Nammu has one thousand households and are stationed in the east; Aledar, Shuoqi and Erketaij each have five hundred households and are stationed in the south.

Today's Huite tribe has a total of only 7,000 households and about 35,000 tribesmen. It is actually not as large as the population of our ancestors when there were "8,000 Huite households". The once prosperous leader of the Oirat Alliance has really declined! However, the Mongols are a people on horseback, and all the people are soldiers. Although the Huite tribe is weak, if they are all organized, they can still dispatch more than 10,000 troops.

However, people are not united. Among the many Noyans, Aldar and Erke have always relied on themselves because of their weak power; Ororik and Namuzhan have maintained their relative independence; Noyan Ubas and Buyanbul Although Han is his biological brother, he has always been disobedient to his control because of inheritance rights and competition for property. Now that he is about to leave the headquarters, how can he not make arrangements?
Nomdale summoned his civil and military confidants: Zarguqi (administrator and judicial officer) Batu Hetan, Demoqi (interior officer) Tiemoer, Albaqi Zaisan (in charge of errands and tribute) Nasu Picture, Zahqin (border officer) Balsi, Baoqinar (in charge of military camps and guns) Xi Rimo and others.

After the unification of Genghis Khan and the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolia's official system became increasingly mature. There are four Tushmers (who participate in political affairs, equivalent to the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty) and six to eight Zarguqi (administrative officers who assist Tushmer and are also in charge of justice) in the Ulus of Taiji in the Oirat Mongolian ministries. , equivalent to the ministers of various ministries), as well as Demoqi, Albazi Zaisan, Zhahaqin, Baoqinar, Urut (managing blacksmiths and manufacturing ordnance), Artaqin (painting Buddha statues), Kutu Zinaer (responsible for the chief’s camp affairs) and many other officials. In addition, each Otok under Ulus also has Zaisang (Otok leader), Demqi (supervision and inspection officer), Sholen'e (tax officer), and Albani Aha (head of ten households). Waiting for official positions.

The only drawback is that most of the leaders of Ulus, Otok, and Aimaq are hereditary, and they are in charge of both the army and the people. This aristocratic system integrating military and political affairs is extremely conducive to conquest, but not conducive to unification. When the hero is alive, he can still control it; when the hero dies, it falls apart, as was the case with Genghis Khan, Dayan Khan, and Anda Khan.

Every time there was a split, there were always heroes who wanted to reunite Mongolia. Lin Dan Khan of the Monan Chahar Tribe, a direct descendant of the Golden Family, is one of them. The "Kutuktu Khan" (translated as Huduntuhan in the Ming Dynasty), who came to the throne at the age of thirteen, was not favored by the officials of the Ming Dynasty at first, saying that he was "a young and foolish successor, cowardly but not powerful". "It is not yet possible to unite the masses." However, the young man soon gave them a "surprise". He built Wachartucha Hancheng (today's Chifeng, Inner Mongolia) on the old site of Qingzhou, and quickly controlled the five tribes of Inner Khalkha. At the same time, he penetrated his power into other Mongolian tribes, and led his troops to invade the Ming Dynasty many times. These officials then changed their words and said, "Hu Dun Tu Han is the famous king among the captives, especially Jie Ao."

Although they are British masters, the three major Khalkha tribes in Mobei and the four Oirat tribes in western Moxi are not easy to mess with. Even in Monan, there are still some large and unruly tribes who want to subdue the deep-rooted tribes. How difficult it is for a powerful aristocrat to be the co-owner of all Mongolia!
Nomdale does not have the ambition to unify Mongolia like Lin Dan Khan. If he can be the leader of the Oirat Mongolia like his ancestors, this life will be enough.

He glanced at all his confidants, and finally set his sights on Batu, Tan, and Tiemoer. "After I leave, you two will assist Subudeh Ji in handling political affairs. Your eyes should be wide open for me." Well, the number of patrolling sentries must be increased three times."

"Yes, Taiji", the two of them quickly accepted the order.

"You are all my subordinates. When I go north, you must stick to the camp and keep an eye on the livestock to prevent sneak attacks by bad guys."

"Yes", all the civil and military officials responded in unison.

Nomudalei snorted with satisfaction, suddenly thought of it again, and said to Batu, Tan, and Tiemoer: "Ji Ji is about to give birth, and you need good care and attention."

"Taiji, don't worry, we will take good care of Henji and the little master." The two of them emphasized the word "little master".

After settling everything, Nomudale left, and the Qianqi quickly disappeared without a trace.

When she sent her husband off, Subbude was already suffering from physical symptoms, so in order to reassure her husband, she pretended to be fine. Just two days after her husband left, her stomach turned upside down and she couldn't help crying out in pain.

"妣吉", the maids exclaimed.

"Call the midwife, I'm about to give birth," Subbude screamed tremblingly.

The midwife, who had been well prepared, ordered people to light a bonfire outside the yurt door to welcome the arrival of new life. Fire, in the Mongolian people, has the meaning of carrying on the family line. Fire must be held when giving birth to a child. Seeing the fire, several masters invited from the temple began to chant sutras, praying for the normal delivery of the pregnant woman and the safe birth of the baby. Batu Hetan, Tiemo'er, Nasutu, Balsi, Xirimo and other civil and military officials came after hearing the news and waited anxiously.

Although these officials and gurus are usually the ones that the herdsmen look up to, the protagonist today is the midwife.

This woman is in her forties and is a well-known "craftsman" in the Huite Department. She handles this kind of thing with ease and is busy and not messy.

She first directed the maid to spread the sand prepared in advance on the kang, helped Yan Ji squat on it, and began to assist the childbirth with skillful techniques. Subud's moans echoed in the tent, and huge beads of sweat fell in clusters.

"Don't be alarmed, just follow me and use your strength." The midwife's calm voice made Subude feel more at ease. He gritted his teeth and followed the midwife's techniques.

The little tender Suleteng in her belly was swimming leisurely in the small pool when she was suddenly squeezed hard by a force. Originally he was lying flat on his back, but he was squeezed to the top of his head. "Help!"

Due to the external squeeze and his own weight, Suleteng's body fell downwards.

"Come out, Jiji, the little master's head is out."

"Henji, if you use more force, your body will come out."

"Be careful, hold your neck and shoulders."

Subude suddenly felt his whole body loosen up, and the tender meat fell out of his body and landed on the fine sand.

The midwife skillfully cut the umbilical cord with boiled wood chips, then burned the cotton ash and smeared it on the cut area, and then carefully bathed the baby.

Because it is cold in the north and it is difficult to keep warm, many Mongolian herdsmen are afraid of catching cold and do not dare to bathe often. As a result, they smell bad and are called "saucy Tatars" by the Han people. However, the living conditions of the Mongolian nobles were much better than those of ordinary herdsmen. After taking over the Han people's lands, many nobles fell in love with bathing and made it a daily habit. However, they did not smell at all.

"Congratulations, it's a boy," the midwife said happily.

"Hold it to me," Subude ordered, lying weakly on the bed.

The maids brought Su Leteng in their arms, and despite his strong protests, they lifted up the quilt and revealed the little bird.

"It's really a boy, Da Taiji has a baby!" Subude cried with joy, and suddenly worried: "Why don't you hear the cry? Is there anything wrong with it?"

"This~"

The midwife was also asked. After so many births, this was the first time she saw one who did not cry after birth. "Maybe the little master fell asleep."

Su Leteng's eyes widened mischievously, but he refused to cry. No matter how much the midwife and maid tried to coax her, she still wouldn't cry.

The old mother was frightened. Could this child be mute? My heart skipped a beat and I gave my little butt a hard squeeze.

"Ouch, it hurts!"

Subiteng was being naughty when severe pain hit him and he cried uncontrollably.

"Wow~Wow~Wow~"

The cry of the newborn dispersed the dark clouds in the sky, making the entire Huite Department bright.

The smiling maid hung a pair of specially made bows and arrows outside the yurt door. This is the custom of the Mongolian people. When a boy is born, he will hang a bow and arrow, and when a girl is born, she will hang a willow branch.

When they saw it was a bow and arrow, Nomudale's confidants who were waiting outside the tent were overjoyed. Thanks to Changshengtian, Datai is blessed with a child! Our Huite Department has an heir!
"Haorui (long live)~Haorui~Haorui~"

Cheers came and went, and the Huite tribe became a sea of ​​joy.
