Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 680 The big dream finally comes true (Part )
"David claims to be a country of etiquette, but the angel came thousands of miles away and did not send a gift representing peace, but sent these two bloody heads. Is this the etiquette of the Kingdom of David?" Gulu, the king of Doluo County, looked at it. The heads of Yuele, Prince of Qing'an, and Omubu, Prince of Duoluo County of Siziwang Banner, were sent from Halahuli and asked questions without changing their expressions. His voice is not high but his words are heartfelt. He hopes to label the Kingdom of David as cruel and unkind, not to uphold justice but to take the initiative in diplomacy.

"This is David's friendly expression to Ordos. The kind brows of the Bodhisattva, the angry eyes of the Vajra, the same destination through different roads, just for the word 'good'. Sending people's heads is not a threat, but a warning. If you see this head, you will realize the cruelty of war. Turning swords into plowshares, extinguishing the flames of war, saving people from water and fire, and relieving people from hanging upside down, there is no greater good!" Harahuli explained unhurriedly, when talking about compassion for heaven and earth, he actually clasped his hands together and just said "Amitabha".

"Hmph! What clever words and tricks! How can we turn swords into plowshares and put an end to the flames of war? Is it possible for my Ordos tribe to surrender to David?" Seleng Beizi asked angrily.

"Exactly. There are no two days in the sky, and no two kings in the country. If you don't become David's ministers, do you want to be obedient people of Manchuria? I, the Lotus Khan, am such a hero. My ambition can reach the clouds and my momentum can swallow up mountains and rivers. How can I tolerate you? The Ordos radical has two ends?" He was tough when it was time to be tough. Halahuli clearly expressed his attitude, his voice was low but sonorous and powerful, and he smiled with murderous intent.

Even though he was a warrior like Se Leng, he was impressed by his momentum and was speechless for a moment.

"As you know, when we surrendered to the Qing Dynasty before, the Qing Dynasty not only granted titles and officials, but also paid some symbolic taxes every year. They also respected Mongolian traditions according to the laws and regulations. I heard that the Wei Kingdom liked to organize households to equalize the people, and also implemented the "Da Da Da" "Wei Lv", if we surrender, will Ordos still be Ordos?" Shandanbeile asked suspiciously.

"Hahaha, you only know one, but not the other. I, David, have always been light on corvee and low on taxes in order to provide relief to the people. The tax rate is very low. As for the establishment of households to equalize the people, it is only for the purpose of fairer tax collection and the convenience of recruiting troops. That’s all. At that time, the tribes of Khalkha and Oirat met in Tarbachatai and formulated a perfect code suitable for all Mongolians: the "Mongol-Oirat Code". The "David Law" is based on this code The compilation and implementation of the "Law of David" is a manifestation of respect for Mongolian tradition." Halahuli was eloquent and eloquent.

"Is it also a Mongolian tradition to ask the masters to pay taxes?" Xiao Zhamusu, the Duke of Zhenguo asked. This question is difficult to answer. After all, Mongolia traditionally treats monks politely and does not need to pay taxes on temple land. However, the "Law of David" stipulates that temple land must also pay taxes. Although the tax is halved, it has changed the tradition.

"This is the compassionate heart of the Great Khan," Harahuli was moved to tears. "The world's wealth is limited. If the monks and nobles do not pay taxes, the people will have to pay more taxes. The Great Khan cannot bear to let the people suffer, so he just He can collect taxes from temples. He is the representative of Padmasambhava in the world, and the monk who pays the most taxes is actually the Great Khan himself. How lucky is Mongolia to give birth to such a kind monarch! Amitabha! Good, good!"

After hearing this, everyone was speechless for a moment.

"I have heard for a long time that you are a rare eloquent person on the grassland. Your eloquence is better than that of an oriole. When I see you today, you are indeed worthy of your reputation! David is indeed a great nation with many talents." Gulu asked with admiration on his face. : "I wonder what kind of title will those mediocre people like us get after we submit to David?"

Halahuli rolled his eyes slightly and smiled sincerely: "All Monan tribes and Taiji who surrendered will retain their original titles. You were a county king in the Qing Dynasty, and you will still be a county king after you surrender to David. The same is true for others. "This is actually just a suggestion he gave to Suletan in his memorial, and has not yet received the approval of the Padma Khan. The Kingdom of David had very strict control over titles, and the Monan tribes that surrendered would generally be demoted. He felt that this was not conducive to recruiting and surrendering the Monan tribes, so Shangshu suggested that the original title should be retained. For some reason, the Great Khan delayed in approving the request.

In fact, failure to approve means disagreement. Sultan naturally knew that retaining the original title would be more conducive to recruiting and surrendering the Monan tribes. However, David had never been granted titles without military merit. The soldiers were born and died before they could be granted the title of Duke, Marquis, and Count, and very few were crowned kings. The Qing Dynasty was very generous to Monan Mongolia, and it was commonplace to grant titles such as princes, princes, and dukes. If according to this sealing law, the title of the demoted officer will be higher than that of my generals, what will the officers and soldiers of the three armies think? It hurts morale! So I cannot agree.

What a halahuli, even when he talks lies, his face does not turn red and his heart does not beat. The Ordos Zhutaiji believed it was true, and their expressions suddenly looked better.

"In this case, we are naturally willing to surrender, but there is one condition: the guards cannot enter the territory of the Ordos tribe," Gulu said solemnly. "I absolutely cannot agree to this! In the whole world, there is nothing but the king's land; on the shore of the land, there is nothing but the king's ministers. Since you are willing to return to the defense, why don't you allow the guards to garrison? And our army is about to go south, and the Yike Zhao Alliance It's my flank. If I don't send troops and horses to protect me, the Khan won't be worried." Harahuli disagreed.

Regarding whether the Guards Army will be stationed in Ordos, the two sides are tit-for-tat, and neither one is willing to give in. Halahuli understood that the garrison issue was Gulu's bottom line, so he couldn't help but smile, "The lower officials can't decide whether to send soldiers and horses to protect them. They can only go back and ask His Highness the King of Liao to decide."

The strong wind and sand in Monan cannot blow away the good mood of Halahuli. In any case, Gulu has agreed to surrender the guards. As for whether the guards will move in or not, it is actually just the end of the branch. The mission of this mission is basically completed. He took his entourage down from Exixi Peak and embarked on the return journey.

"Sir, there is Tumao River in front of us. Should we camp here and drink our horses?" A confidant asked for instructions.

"Well, let's rest here for one night and start our journey early tomorrow morning." Halahuli was really tired. After giving the order to set up camp, he plunged into the felt tent and fell asleep.

"Sir, wake up! There is an Ordos man who says he has something secret to report." It is really annoying to be woken up by a confidant in his sleep. "Why does the bird want to see me? Call him in. If there is no secret, I have to cut off his head." ".

"The servant kowtows to the angel." The man is dressed as a companion (entourage) and kowtows when he sees him.

"That's all," Harahuli waved his hand, "Who are you? Why do you want to see me?"

The man spoke clearly, and each word hit Harahu Li's heart, "I am the slave of Dazhamusutaiji, and I am here to inform you on the orders of Dazhamusutaiji and King Batu of Doluo County. However, Gulu did not sincerely submit to David. He just wanted to fight between the Qing and Wei countries and find opportunities to separate and stand on his own. While professing vassalage to David, he also sent a messenger to the Qing court asking for help."

"What!" Harahuli was shocked, calmed down and asked, "Why did your master and Prince Batu tell me this?"

"My master and the king of Batu County have enmity with Manchuria and sincerely submit to David for revenge. Please tell me clearly."
