Chapter Fifteen Days of Khan

Guihua City.

"Tian Khan!"

"Tian Khan!"

......

The cheers of hundreds of thousands resounded over the grassland. Li Mingxun on the platform closed his eyes and felt it. It seemed that a pair of huge palms lifted him into the blue sky. This feeling was really fascinating. The support of hundreds of thousands of people was like this. When he returned to the capital and ascended the throne, what would it feel like? It is so fortunate that he could enjoy this life.

On the high platform, Li Mingxun sat south under the imperial tent. Behind him, in addition to the golden dragon flag fluttering in the wind and the guard officers in bright clothes and angry horses, there were a row of beasts that were locked or closed, one with a snow-white elephant, an African giraffe that was rumored to be a kirin because of its strange fur color, a majestic lion, and a forest python that could swallow cattle and sheep. These beasts that Mongolians had never seen before added some divine color to Li Mingxun.

The red tents were arranged on both sides, on one side were the chiefs of Mongolia, Manchuria and Jurchen tribes who had already surrendered, and on the other side were envoys from various countries who came to watch the ceremony. In front of them were exquisite gold and silver ware and porcelain, and colorful silk floated like ribbons. People exchanged cups and enjoyed the prosperity and peace of mind at this moment.

As the drums and music started, the ceremony began. The first item was the presentation, the envoys presented a congratulations, and the chiefs submitted a letter of guilt. Then Li Mingxun announced the pardon of the various tribes, whether they attacked the border, invaded the mainland, or helped the evil to serve the Qing Dynasty for their crimes, they were pardoned.

Even after the banner was formed and the feudal divisions were divided, the various departments that still had lords were awarded the positions of various departments including the deputy general of the Pacification Zone, the deputy government officer, Zasak, the co-organizer of Zasak, the governing flag Zhangjing, the deputy Zhangjing and other positions, because Li Mingxun had not yet succeeded to the throne and had not yet granted the title, which was somewhat beyond the expectations of the Mongols, because Tian Khan was the great Khan of the Mongols, and he could grant the title, but Li Mingxun did not do so and maintained the emperor's only authority.

While dividing the feudal title, Li Mingxun also gave titles. All titles given or recognized by the Khan, Jinnong, the prince, and the titles given or recognized by the Qing Dynasty were removed and replaced with official positions in the United States. In the future, their titles will be treated equally with the nobles of the country to show their identity as the inner vassal.

After the feudal division, a big review was conducted. Li Mingxun was dressed in military uniform, holding the sword of the emperor, and rode a horse to inspect the army. The rumbling drums spread across the four fields, like thunder. With Li Mingxun's order, three thousand guard cavalry galloped to the scene. The sound of horse hooves covered all the sounds of the alliance. The sound of hooves was like thunder. The pure blood war horses used by the guard cavalry also made the Mongols envious and exclaimed. The breastplate of the cavalry reflected dazzling light. The red tassels on the helmets of the light cavalry were particularly eye-catching. The cavalry surged and emerged in a row. As the sky collapsed and the earth flew over, the earth trembled slightly. After the order, the cavalry was rifled and pistols fired in the hands of the cavalry for a long time, just like the big black god descended to exorcise the fire of exorcising evil.........

After the cavalry season passed by like a wall, the grassland seemed to be swept by the strong wind, leaving only the grass leaves flying. Then the thirty-six twelve-pound field cannons that were temporarily used as salutes, and the sound of cannons overwhelmed everything. Thirty-six cannons were facing the thirty-six inner vassal flags. Nine salutes roared, and finally the cavalry shouted loudly and left the scene, leaving only the shocked envoys of the noble chief......

After the review, the chiefs of each tribe followed Li Mingxun to the Silver Buddha Temple in Guihua City. In front of the silver statue of Sakyamuni Buddha, which was more than three meters high and weighed 3,000 kilograms, they signed a blood letter and swear to the gods and Buddhas all over the sky that they would live forever and be loyal to Tian Khan for generations.

When the mysterious and distant ceremony ends, it is the banquet, and it is the three-day grand banquet. At this time, Guihua City and its surroundings have become a sea of ​​joy. People who have just escaped from the bitter sea of ​​war sang and dance, enjoying delicious food and wine, and enjoying various programs in the north and south of the desert and overseas, and the alliance ceremony is officially over.

Of course, in addition to the banquet, Li Mingxun also rewarded the nobles. In addition to gold and silver vessels, there were also various things. The white elephant symbolizing the purity and sacredness was given to Cheren Lama. Bayin, the Mongolian upstart who made great contributions on the battlefield, received the lion of symbolic power, Gulu obtained the auspicious beast "Qilin", and the sinister and greedy forest python was given to Abnay. Of course, the most popular one was the pure blood Shenjun's war horse.

After the alliance ceremony, the nobles began to return to the ranch or take their troops to the assigned pasture. Within half a year, they would receive the reward of titles, but the vassal generals affiliated with the Yunzhong Appeasement Zone were once again concentrated in the Appeasement Office.

Bayin, Akdun and Agui have now become Zasak or Assistant Zasak, and have also been rewarded with one flag and half flags. At this moment, they all went to the Pacification Office to accept tasks, but Akdun unexpectedly saw Wuliji who was busy in the office, and he was sorting out his horses and supplies.

"Hey, brother Wu Liji, are you going to return to Shenyang?" Akdun asked. He knew that Wu Liji had become an assistant leader because of his merits and was no longer an ordinary big-headed soldier, but his assistant leader was a subordinate leader directly, and his official position would not be hereditary and would not have a title in the future.

But Akdun is still willing to get close to him because he is now Zasak from Yunzhong Appeasement Zone, and his wife and children will soon move over and will not be seen in the future.

When Wu Liji saw Akdun, he also smiled: "It's not going to Shenyang, it's going to the capital, and it's where Tian Khan lives."

"Beijing? Aren't you already Zuoleng Zhang Jing?" A Gui was puzzled.

Wu Liji clenched his fists and said, "Mr. Agui, do you think I can pull out a warrior immediately, or can I lead the leaders of fifty elite cavalry?" As he said, Wu Liji glanced at Bayin, habitually lowered his head, and said, "I was just a black-legged shepherd slave under Master Bayin's account. I can be an adjutant for the superior and handle chores, but I can't lead troops to fight wars and govern the people."

"You have lost the reward because of this?" Bayin was surprised. If this was the case, he would be willing to pull the young man into his own flag.

Wu Liji smiled and said, "Of course not. I can't command or govern, but I have other specialties."

"Yes, the Wuliji Brothers will speak Chinese and their minds are lively." Akdun said with a smile when he remembered the old stories of the three of them.

Wu Liji nodded: "It is precisely because of this that I became the alternate Zhangjing. The Pacification Office will leave a seat for me, and I need to go to the capital and study in a place called Guihua Hall for one to two years. If I learn well, I can also become the leader of Zhangjing."

Agui is envious: "Then you must seize this opportunity. You must know that the officers in the army have been to school. The more you learn, the more officials can become seniors. If you become the smartest one, maybe you may be a Zasak."

"Then I'll lend you a good word." Wu Liji smiled.

"Banyin, Akdun, Agui, what are you doing? Come in quickly!" The officer at the main gate of the Public Administration could no longer bear it.

The three of them quickly bid farewell to Wu Liji and entered the main hall of the Public Administration. They originally thought that the highest commander of Yunzhong Appeasement Zone, that is, General Yun, Xu Hanfeng, called him to come to the army for discussion, but they never came in and saw Li Mingxun. The three of them quickly knelt down to greet him.

Li Mingxun smiled and looked at the bandage on Bayin's shoulder and asked, "Are you seriously injured?"

"I deserve to die, I've hit Your Majesty." Bayin felt a little ashamed, because it was not because of the injury in the battle, but because Li Mingxun gave him a lion that day. Bayin's skill was itchy and wanted to fight a brave name with bare hands, but he never thought that he would be pounced under his body by the lion within a minute. He didn't dare to let his subordinates kill the lion to help him. After all, it was given by the emperor, and he suffered a great loss.

Li Mingxun smiled and said, "The real warrior is not fighting for beasts, but making achievements on the battlefield. Don't be stupid again."

Bayin heard that Li Mingxun had no intention of blame, so he let go of the uneasiness in his heart. However, when he raised his head, he saw the anger in the eyes of his boss Xu Hanfeng, and he lowered his head and did not dare to look again. He retreated aside. In the past few days, they also understood Xu Hanfeng. Not only was he a close minister of the emperor, but he was also a relative of the new dynasty. His father was a veteran of the new dynasty. What was an elder? In a few months, he would be the one who wanted to be king. Xu Hanfeng's style was also experienced. Even though he was young, it was not a person who dared to be despised.

"You three are all people who have made great contributions, are you satisfied with the reward?" Li Mingxun signaled the three of them to sit down and asked directly.

Akdun quickly clasped his fists: "The two slave brothers are humble and as humble as grass. They have little achievements, but they are gifted by a flag. They are really frightened. Even if they are crushed to pieces, they will be hard to repay."

Although the two brothers Akdun and Agui are Ha Risky, they are also poor and humble. If they were not in the United States, they would be like a cavalry school in their lifetime. How could they hold the banner and be ranked among the nobles? What they said is worth believing, but Bayin was somewhat dissatisfied.

To put it bluntly, Bayin was originally among the nobles. Although his bloodline was not high, his vision was also necessary. Although he was originally just a subordinate, now he had a whole flag and fifteen subordinates, but his nature had changed. Now his banner is called Yunzhong Left Wing Central Banner, not a certain number of the Colqin Banners. Because there were only three Colqin subordinates in his fifteen subordinates, most of them were Sunit, Tumote and other subordinates. This cohesion was much worse, and even more, it made Ba

What also displeased other noble chiefs was that there were many banner owners like Akdun in Zasak Mongolia, and they were banner owners who wanted to be awarded titles. How could these black-legged shepherd slaves beside Genghis Khan's descendants? Even during the Qing Dynasty, the leaders of each tribe were served as descendants of Genghis Khan (except Ordos in the southern Mongolian, but enjoy the title of Jinong). Only Genghis Khan's descendants could be called Taiji, and the son-in-law of Genghis Khan's descendants called Tabunan.

Originally, Abnay had proposed on behalf of various ministries that he would marry a noble chief's daughter, even those Borkijit, who had been exterminated into the slave Zo's leadership, to maintain the old rules and face, but Li Mingxun directly refused, so he would not give the tribes the chance to marry at will. In fact, the nobles of Zasak Mongolian also wanted to make the decision on the new dynasty.

But Bayin also knew very well that no matter what he thought, it was enough to show that in the eyes of the new dynasty, he Bayin was a Mongolian upstart like Akedun, not an old noble like Abunai and Gulu.

"I asked you to come alone because your status and authority come from swords and guns, not bloodlines." Li Mingxun said, and called out the difference between the three and Abunai and others. Then, Li Mingxun pointed his hand at the northwest corner of the map, which was the fertile Urat grassland and the northwest grassland in the Yunzhong Pacification Zone. The grassland is located north of Yinshan, facing the desert. The army set out from Hetao to Mobei, which is the only way to pass, and it is also the only way to pass for the Mobei forces to go south to Hetao.

Li Mingxun said: "You also know the situation of the Yunzhong Appeasement Zone. When the grass industry was first started, if you were always harassed by the Qing Dynasty, the work of the Yunzhong Appeasement Zone would not be easy to carry out, and the grassland would never be peaceful. Like the Yanbei Appeasement Zone, I am going to build a small city in Urat to prevent the Qing army from going south. I hope you three will be stationed there instead of returning to bed early and enjoying peace and prosperity."

"This is our honor, Your Majesty." A Gui was the first to stand up. Although he was going to fight, A Gui knew that only in war can he have military achievements, and he could have more auxiliary leaders and wealth. He was the only one of the three who was not the banner leader, and he urgently needed more military achievements.

Bayin asked, "How many soldiers will His Majesty be given to us, and how can we garrison?"

"You two flags, draw 1,500 people, and I will draw 1,000 people from the inner Mongolia to you. Two,500 people are enough." Xu Hanfeng said.

Agui also heard something was wrong: "Sir, what do you mean is to let us garrison alone?"

Xu Hanfeng nodded, but this was not the combat method that the Mongols were used to. It is important to know that the reason why Mongolian cavalry could spread across the Eurasian continent hundreds of years ago was that their nomadic characteristics were always surrounded by tribes behind or around the army. These tribe herders provided them with food, drink, defecation and scattering. But following Xu Hanfeng's words, they only sent troops, not garrisoning the people.

Xu Hanfeng pointed to the map and introduced: "I am going to move all the Mongols in Urat and Xitao to the surrounding area of ​​Guihua City, and build the area north of the Yellow River into an unmanned area, and all the military needs needed by the garrison will be allocated by Guihua City."

Akdun nodded slightly and said, "If this is a no-man's land, the robbery of Qing army will not be able to use large groups of people, and the small groups of people dare not go deeper, which is a good idea."

Xu Hanfeng nodded with relief. Akdun hit the point with one sentence. Xu Hanfeng said: "The Qing Dynasty had just moved to Mobei, and the three Khans in Mobei have not completely surrendered, so they cannot mobilize a large army to attack you. You can rest assured that this is the case."

The three of them exchanged their eyes and all received the order. Li Mingxun smiled and said, "The appeasement zone has just been established, and the office has only made a mistake. The Qing Dynasty rested and integrated in the northern part of the desert. We are the same. The Han style is young and we need the help of the three of you. This year and next year, the burden of resisting the Qing Dynasty will be on your shoulders. What difficulties do you have? Tell me out together and you can solve it now."

Akdun and Agui both shook their heads, Bayin said, "When the slave came in just now, I saw that Wu Liji was going to go to Guihua Church to go to school. The slave also had two sons of similar age. I wonder if he could get this reward?"

Li Mingxun laughed: "It's a good thing to have a desire to learn, of course this is OK. In fact, there are plans for the appeasement zone. Let's do it. If you have children and nephews aged 14 to 18 in your family, you will send them to Guihua Hall and take them to Guihua City. You will also have junior and intermediate schools. Those over eight years old and under fourteen years old can enter school. As for your adult children and nephews, don't send them again. The three of you are going to the front line to guard your flag servants. You still need someone to take care of them."

"Thank you for your kindness." The three of them knelt on the ground in unison.
