Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

Chapter 220 Allies of Mongolian Western Kings

Genghis Khan enfeoffed his sons and some relatives, such as brothers, and named them the kings of the west and the kings of the east.

The kings of the Western Dao were basically the juniors of Genghis Khan, his sons, such as Jochi, Chagatai, Ogedai, and some of the heirs born to other concubines.

These people grouped together were the kings of the Western Mongolia.

The fiefdoms of these kings of the Western Dao are all close to the west. In the Xiliao area, Mongolia's Moxi area, and the Qinchak grassland area, some of these areas are very suitable for establishing some small breeding farms.

After all, Wokuotai and Chagatai were in the Western Liao territory. Most of the kings of the Western Mongolia, except those from the Jochi family, were dependent on Wokuotai and Chagatai.

These people are their natural allies. Because they have their backs to the west, if they want to expand outward, they can only go west, toward the Ross region, the Bulgarian region, and the Western European plains.

In other words, march towards the YSL world in Central Asia.

This is exactly in line with Zhang Yong's previous strategy. Mongolia develops westward and takes over large tracts of grassland in the west.

Under the leadership of Tu Lanlun, Zhang Yong quickly came to a room where more than a dozen envoys from the kings of the West had gathered.

They have been waiting here for several days, and finally Zhang Yong himself came over.

"Meet the envoy of the gods. I am the envoy of Lord Wokuotai. I am leading the envoys of Lord Chahetai, Lord Batu, and all the envoys of the kings of the West to come to see you." When they met, more than a dozen envoys paid homage to Zhang Yong.

"No need to be polite, I already know your purpose of coming. I will write a handwriting later, and you will take him to Xiliang Mansion and select three hundred people.

Herders who are already familiar with the work of large-scale breeding farms will go to your territory and they will teach you how to set up a breeding farm. I will also write down the operation methods and some other essentials. "Zhang Yong smiled and said.

Zhang Yong had already written down the detailed design drawings of the large-scale breeding farm, as well as the management and operation measures, as well as the drawing production methods, and was waiting for the envoys of the kings of the West to come and take these things away.

After all, the craftsmanship of making these things is not that difficult. Even if you don't teach it yourself, as long as you watch it and understand the operation mode, it is not that difficult to weave.

Zhang Yong must have a good relationship with these kings of the West Road, because the success of his plans in the future depends on these kings of the West Road.

"Thank you for your generosity, Lord Divine Envoy. We thank you on behalf of the master. My master also brought you a large number of gifts." More than a dozen envoys from the kings of the West knelt in front of Zhang Yong and said.

These envoys from the kings of the Western Mongolia were very happy to be able to successfully complete their mission.

"Okay, thank your masters for me and say that I like their gifts very much." Zhang Yong nodded and said.

Before coming, Tu Lanlun had already taken him to see the gifts given to him by the seven kings. There were dozens of boxes of gold and silver jewelry, agate, jade, pearls and ivory. It could be said that the gift was rich.

After chatting with the envoys from the West Road for a while, Zhang Yong sent the others away, leaving only the envoy sent by Wokuotai.

"My father-in-law sent you here, is there anything else you want to inform me about?" After the others left, Zhang Yong looked at the envoy from Wokuotai and asked.

"Lord Messenger of God! Lord Ogedai hopes that you can participate in the Khuliltai Conference to be held next year and help him," the messenger said.

"I have already discussed this matter with Mr. Wokuotai in advance. I will naturally help my father-in-law when the time comes. How is the situation with the host kings now?" Zhang Yong asked.

The host kings of Mongolia, to be honest, these people and Zhang Yong are naturally on the opposite side.

The host kings of Mongolia were the fiefdoms in Mobei Mongolia and the hometown of the Jin Kingdom. Most of these people were the brothers of Genghis Khan.

If they, the host kings, want to develop, there are only two ways to go. The first is to move further north to Siberia, but what is the situation there now?

It can be said to be a land of ice and snow, a truly barren land with very few wild animals, let alone people.

Therefore, they only have one option. That is to the south or east. Further east, there is Goguryeo, as well as the Japanese pirates and the Ezo Kingdom. Except for one Goguryeo, the other two places have to be conquered by boat.

And how big is the land of Goryeo? To be honest, it is not as big as the territory of a Mongolian king! It was simply not enough for their host kings to share.

Therefore, the best way is to advance towards the Central Plains and the Song Dynasty in the south in order to expand the territories of these host kings.

But Genghis Khan ordered them not to enter the Central Plains, which was basically equivalent to cutting off the thoughts of these host kings.

Now, these host kings have begun to support Genghis Khan's fourth son Tuo Lei.

First, because Tuo Lei's territory is very close to them, because Tuo Lei inherited the land of Mongolia itself, and if they want to expand externally, they can only advance to the south like their host kings.

During this period, Zhang Yong has not stopped exchanging letters with Wo Kuotai. According to Wo Kuotai's letters, all the kings of the host country have now begun to support Tuo Lei and even want Genghis Khan to revise his edict.

"Lord Divine Envoy, our master, all the kings of the Western Path, except for Jochi and his family, now fully support Lord Ogedai.

As for the kings of the East, they are now leaning towards Tuo Lei, but Genghis Khan has always claimed in public that Lord Ogedai is his true successor. "The messenger paused and said.

"Wait! Jochi and his family, why are they unwilling to support Ogedai? I remember that they should support Ogedai, and there are also envoys from Batu who came to me this time." Zhang Yong asked.

"The main reason is still with Mr. Chagatai. Their two families are not very harmonious, and our Ogedai family and the Chagatai family have a very good relationship.

Although Lord Batu is willing to support Lord Ogedai, he is not as helpful as the other kings of the West Road. It only shows that in the future Khuliltai Khan election meeting, Jochi and his family will Vote for Lord Ogedai. "The messenger said.

There was no way, the two families were inherently in conflict, and Batu had already burned incense before he completely turned to Tuo Lei's side. You must know that in the original history, Batu directly supported Tuo Lei's line to rise to power.

In the future, the Golden Horde will not be able to let his family become the dominant one. It must allow all the kings of the Western Mongolia to collectively participate in the past.

"You don't need to worry about the affairs of the host kings, just learn my breeding farm techniques first.

After that, you will build all the breeding farms. By then, the number of cattle, sheep and horses of all the kings of the West will far exceed that of the kings of the East. "Zhang Yong said.

"Master Envoy of God, if our kings from the west successfully establish these breeding farms, then the kings from the east will definitely be jealous. What if they beg Genghis Khan to let you teach them this technology?"

"Well, this is what your father-in-law asked you to ask me, right?" Zhang Yong smiled and asked.

"Yes, Lord Divine Envoy, Lord Ogedai told me this." The envoy said.

"Don't worry. Even if they get all the technology, the territory of their host kings is not suitable for building such a large-scale breeding farm. You can tell your father-in-law like this when you go back." Zhang Yong said.

The territory of the Mongolian kings in the east is in Mobei Mongolia, which is a truly bitter and cold land. Compared with the pastures in the west, the pastures in the east are not that good.

From east to west, the further to the west, the better the pasture will be.

For the kings of the host country, first of all, they cannot solve the problem of stockpiling fodder in winter. Furthermore, the territories of the kings of the host road are not suitable for producing soil clods. Zhang Yong thought of this when the farm plan was proposed.

The territories of the kings of the west road are more suitable for this kind of breeding farm model, and they can build huge breeding farms, but the territories of the kings of the east road are just like that!

The current Greater Khingan Mountains is not the Great Northeast in later generations. It is a truly super bitter and cold place.

"Lord Divine Envoy, I know this, and I will convey these words to Lord Ogedai intact." The envoy said with a happy face.

"Well! You have a good rest during this period. In a few days, you will go to Xining Mansion, and then select herdsmen to build the breeding farms for the kings of the West Road together." Zhang Yong said.

The messenger nodded, kowtowed to Zhang Yong again, and then left respectfully.

"It seems that these host kings have all turned to Tuo Lei's family. As the leader, you should make plans early. You now belong to the family of Brother Wokuotai." Tu Lanlun walked out from the screen at the back. , said.

"Well! I know all this. When the Huliletai Conference is held next year, I will rush there. If nothing happens, the position of Ogedai Khan can be determined." Zhang Yong said.

"Didn't this Khuliltai Conference discuss the destruction of the Jin Kingdom? How could the Khan's position be determined?" Turan Lun asked in confusion.

At this time, Genghis Khan had announced to all the Mongolian palace nobles that the Khuliltai Conference was to discuss how to destroy the Jin Kingdom. How could it be related to the struggle for the throne of Khan?

"Don't you understand this? The Great Khan once asked me in private before, and I proposed a Sky Khan plan to the Great Khan.

It is similar to the Supreme Emperor of the Central Plains, who asked the Great Khan to pass the throne to Lord Ogedai in advance while he was still alive, and he became the Khan above the Khan. "Zhang Yong said.

Zhang Yong is sure to facilitate this matter, because the previous injury to Genghis Khan had already given the Mongolian man the idea of ​​establishing his successor in advance.

Khuriltai Conference! When Genghis Khan was still alive, it was just a formality. As long as Genghis Khan spoke, all Mongolian princes and nobles would obey Genghis Khan's orders. Because their positions were all sealed by Genghis Khan.

But if Genghis Khan dies, then the situation will change differently at the Kuriltai Conference.

Genghis Khan was in good health before and had never thought about these things, but the last injury made the Mongolian Khan think about it.

The last time he was in Xining Mansion, Genghis Khan secretly summoned him. The meaning behind his words was his opinion of the Khan of Khans.

"This time, I will help Master Wokuotai obtain the overall command to destroy the Jin Kingdom, and then help him completely destroy the Jin Kingdom.

Relying on the merits of destroying the Jin Kingdom, the Great Khan will let Ogedai take the throne in advance, and hold the Kuriltai Conference while he is alive to determine the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia. "Zhang Yong said.

"Okay, I have to say that you, the master, are really smart, and you actually came up with this trick.

Indeed, as you said, Father Khan is still alive, so the Khuliltai Conference is just a formality. Tu Lanlun said.

"Moreover, this title of Khan above Khan is a title that only belongs to Genghis Khan. After Genghis Khan's death, all his successors can only call themselves Great Khan of Mongolia, not Khan above Khan." Zhang Yong said.

This statement is to satisfy Genghis Khan's vanity and to make Genghis Khan feel that he is different from other Mongol Khans, and that future successors will be inferior to him in name and status.

"That's good! I understand Father Khan's character. He is more able to accept this statement, and he is also willing to accept the title of Khan of Khans, Khan of Heaven!" Tu Lanlun said.

"So at next year's Khuliltai Conference, I will do my best to help Ogedai and obtain the commander-in-chief of destroying the Jin Dynasty. After the Jin Kingdom is destroyed, it will be time for him to ascend to the throne of Khan." Zhang Yong said.

"Hahaha! After Brother Wokuotai ascends to the throne of Khan, you can also call yourself Khan and establish your own independent Khanate. With this credit, he will definitely agree." Turan Lun said.

Well! Khan! Khanate! In fact, I care more about the title emperor.

But this girl Tulanlun is really good!

Now they are starting to think about independent things for themselves.

"It's too early to think about these things now. Just focus on the immediate things now and don't think too far ahead." Zhang Yong said.

"Yeah! Others can't think about it. That's natural. But you, the leader, are also a member of the Golden Family. You can think about it. I've told you this before. You are fundamentally different from them." Turan Lun said.

"Okay! Go to bed! I'm so exhausted. I haven't had a good rest after going to Xining Mansion for more than a month." Zhang Yong said.

"Hey! I'm pregnant with the child! Call your new Xixia wife and Xiaoyun to come over! Let them stay with you at night." Tu Lanlun said.

"No! It's fine for me to sleep alone. Let me have a rest!" Zhang Yong said speechlessly.

"Hahaha! If you eat more, Yangbao will be fine."

"." Zhang Yong.

After dealing with the envoys of the kings of the West Road, Zhang Yong began to be busy dealing with the autumn harvest.

The entire Guanzhong land, plus the two Xixia prefectures, the taxes and grain collected alone have reached a terrifying 700,000 stone.

Zhang Yong deposited all the collected taxes and grains into the inventory of Jingzhao Mansion. Some of them were tightly sealed, and some were used as military rations for his own army.

In the blink of an eye, another few months have passed, and the weather has entered winter. In these few months, Zhang Yong has not launched any war in Guanzhong.

Instead, it developed steadily. In the following time, Zhang Yong successively admitted a large number of northern students to serve as local officials in his own territory.

With this group of students joining, Zhang Yong basically does not need to worry about some basic taxation and government affairs, they will take care of them.

The former man named Hu Yunpan was transferred out by Zhang Yong and asked him to experimentally build three small breeding farms in various places in Guanzhong.

Responsible for raising some cattle, sheep and horses, Zhang Yong estimates that his super-large breeding farm will have another bumper harvest in the spring of the next year.

The breeding farms of the kings of the West Road have now been established, and the herdsmen sent out previously have returned to their homeland.

In addition, this year, his breeding farm also produced 10,000 fine war horses.

With more than 10,000 horses, Zhang Yong planned to form a heavy armored cavalry unit of about 3,000 people.

The steel plant has also been officially completed.

The new iron forging method provided by Zhang Yong has also been put into use, and it is expected that high-quality steel will be produced in the spring of next year.

With this steel, Zhang Yong plans to first make some sophisticated weapons and armor to arm his newly formed heavy armored cavalry unit.

As for the forged artillery, the craftsmen still need some training, but the iron-forged weapons currently produced are not bad.

If the casting of real cannons is still not up to standard, but the unscrupulous cannons and thunderbolts can be made on a small scale.

On this day, Zhang Yong received an envoy from Xining Prefecture in the palace.

"Is Tubo fighting with you?" Zhang Yong asked.

Just today, I received a battle report from Xining Mansion.

A year ago, he led the Mongolian army to seize a large area of ​​grassland in Tubo, and now the Tubo people finally came to take revenge.

I just don’t know how many Tibetan troops came this time.

"Your Majesty! The Tubo people have indeed come, but they have been repulsed by us. They only came with more than 3,000 people, and some of them were infantry.

After these plateau curses were gone, if we didn't attack them, they would have burned incense and rushed over to counterattack.

Their army had been completely wiped out by the cavalry led by Qianhu, and a total of 800 horses were captured.

There are also some livestock. I came here this time to report the results of the battle to you. In addition, I also offer you some captured Tubo yaks. "The envoy from Xining Mansion knelt on the ground and said.

"Oh! I was shocked. I thought they needed to send troops for support there! Did you bring me the captured yak?" Zhang Yong said.

Our own heavy armored cavalry force has just been formed. It will take more than half a year for them to fully develop their combat effectiveness.

If there really was a war in the direction of Xining Prefecture, it would be hard for me to send reinforcements there.
