Chapter 645 Changes in Mongolia (2)
Meng Ge and Kublai Khan discussed for a while and formulated a relatively detailed plan. Finally, the two of them decided to use the Zong Wang, who was not very close to them, to press Chitai to provoke a dispute in the east road.
The host kings of Mongolia were the earliest clan kings in Mongolia to obtain fiefdoms. Their identities were quite special, as most of them were from clans during the Genghis Khan period and those who were descendants of meritorious officials.
After they obtained the fief, many of Genghis Khan's descendants had to go to the west to seize the fief by themselves.
Therefore, Meng Ge's choice to start trouble in the east road was undoubtedly a wonderful move. After all, many of the clan kings here were uncles of Meng Ge and Guyou. When they had conflicts, Guyou, as the Great Khan, could not step in and make the decision.
At that time, Guyu and Meng Ge were invited at the same time by Chitai. Meng Ge went to mediate. As the Great Khan, Guyu didn't go to mediate, how could he convince the crowd.
Meng Ge and Kublai Khan discussed it for a while, and the more they thought about it, the more feasible they became. If this plan succeeded, Zhao Tai would have no chance to interfere, and he would be able to quickly seize power in Mongolia.
After the discussion, Meng Ge said excitedly: "It's not convenient for me to show up now, so I'll leave it to you to persuade him to press Chitai." Kublai Khan was full of confidence.
"Brother, don't worry! You will definitely be able to take back the throne that belongs to our family this time!" Brother Meng patted Kublai Khan on the shoulder with satisfaction.
"You go!" Kublai Khan left the big tent and returned to his tent. Then he quickly packed some things and prepared to go to lobby for Chitai in person.
At this time, the curtain was raised, Liu Yun walked in with food, and said doubtfully: "Your Majesty, this is~"~~~~~He Lin, Mongolian Khan Ting Guiyu felt that he was very unlucky, since he inherited the throne of Khan
, there were only a few things that went well for him, and it seemed that God was always against him.
At this time, in the big tent, Guiyu sat on the blanket with drunken eyes, watching the slave girl dance and drinking soju, feeling full of depression.
Now he appears to be the Great Khan of Mongolia, but in fact the powerful Mongol Empire has fallen apart. After the invincible Mongol Empire was defeated by Qi, his prestige as the Great Khan was greatly damaged.
At the moment, not only did the Chahatai Khanate to the west not take him seriously, and had not paid tribute for two years in a row, Batu and Meng Ge were also completely out of his control.
This situation gave Guiyu a headache, but he had no solution, so he could only drink to relieve his worries.
From the side, Yang Weizhong looked at Guyu's demoralization and his expression was extremely ugly. As the prime minister of Mongolia, he was heartbroken to see Mongolia become what it is now.
After the failure of the Battle of Hedong, Guyu and Meng Ge successively withdrew from Hedong. At that time, Guyu had no losses and was very strong, while Meng Ge was seriously injured and was at his weakest.
As a counselor, Yang Weizhong saw clearly and knew that after Mongolia lost the Central Plains, internal strife would inevitably occur.
There were not many scholars in the Mongolian Empire. As one of the founders of the Mongol system, Yang Weizhong had a very clear understanding of how the Mongol Empire operated before.
The Mongolian Empire plundered gold and silver from the Central Plains, and then rewarded these gold and silver to many Mongolian tribes. They then used this gold and silver to plunder the world's supplies to satisfy their own arrogance and luxury.
This is a large economic cycle in the operation of Mongolian society. After the Yuan Dynasty was established, the Yuan Dynasty did not have enough gold and silver, so it directly issued Zhongtong banknotes, rewarded the banknotes to many nobles, and then used the banknotes to plunder the people of the world.
This method of exploitation can be said to be hundreds of years ahead of the world. Yang Weizhong knew that if Mongolia lost the Central Plains, the cycle would be interrupted. Mongolia would inevitably have a dearth of materials, and scarcity would cause chaos.
Previously, the Mongol Empire could gain the allegiance of various tribes and nobles by rewarding them with gold and silver.
Now that there is no benefit, who will listen to you? Yang Weizhong had a premonition that Mongolia would be in crisis, so he suggested that Guyou take advantage of Meng Ge's weakness to trick Meng Ge into He Lin and kill him.
However, Guyu was hesitant and did not dare to set this precedent, fearing that killing Meng Ge would trigger a rebellion by Batu and other Mongolian tribes.
Guiyou was undecided, but Meng Ge relied on the pastures in the south to recover, resulting in the current situation of separation.
Now that Brother Meng has recovered, Guyu wants to take action now, but is not sure. Yang Weizhong thought about the current situation and couldn't help but sigh.
At this time, several people were drinking to soothe their sorrows. The curtain was suddenly raised, and Yelu Chucai walked in. He glanced at everyone, walked to Guyu with a sullen face,
"Khan, something happened to the host." Guyu's eyes were blurred and he smelled of alcohol.
"What happened?" Yelu Chucai asked: "The kings of the host country clashed over the pasture. Prince Chitai hoped that the Great Khan would make the decision." Hearing that the conflict was over the pasture, Guyu frowned.
In the past two years, many conflicts have occurred among Mongolian tribes over the competition for pastures, cattle and sheep.
Among these conflicts, the biggest was the Hetao Rebellion, which took three months to calm down. Faced with the internal fighting in Mongolia, Guyu, the great khan, naturally spoke out to stop it, but the effect was not obvious.
The tribes in these conflicts are all because the tribe's supplies cannot feed the current tribesmen. If they don't grab it, they will starve to death.
Therefore, even if there is an order from Gui Yu, each tribe must fight first to determine the winner and grab enough supplies for the winter before stopping.
Such things have happened many times, and each one is an injury to Guyou's authority. Guyou heard that the kings of the host country were also fighting for the pasture, and his face was extremely ugly.
"If they want to fight, let them fight! Ben Khan said, they won't just fight you to the death!" After saying this, Guyu drank another glass of wine.
Yelu Chucai frowned,
"Great Khan, I not only invited Great Khan, but also Brother Meng." Yang Weizhong on the side heard this and couldn't help but stand up.
"Great Khan, the kings of the host country have a special status. Since Chitai sent people to ask the Great Khan to mediate, the Great Khan still has to step forward to stop them, otherwise they may fall to Meng Ge." In the past two years, Guyu's life has been difficult.
The feeling of betrayal and alienation.
The land he occupies in Mobei can be said to be a bitter and cold place with poor supplies. It is difficult for him to feed himself, so naturally he has no spare power to reward other tribes.
In the past two years, almost every winter, Mongolian tribes starved to death. He was unable to provide food for the famished tribes, nor could he protect those tribes who failed to compete for pasture. Many tribes went south to join Mengge.
This made Meng Ge's strength grow. Although Meng Ge's power has not surpassed him yet, it has reached the point where he cannot control it.
Now if the kings of the host country turn to Meng Ge, then Meng Ge's power may surpass him. Hearing this, Guiyou sat upright and his expression became serious.
"I also invited Brother Meng when I pressed Chitai!" Yelu Chucai nodded worriedly.
