    Chapter 279: Unification of the Grasslands This time Jamukha¡¯s army was dispatched, although it was a bit regretful that they did not catch up with Temujin.  .  .  But when the two khans of the Naiman tribe were dealt with, Buyu Luhan directly eliminated the army.  Taiyang Khan also bowed his head and surrendered, and Jamuka could be said to be proud of the spring breeze.  In the battle with Buyulu Khan, his combined army lost nearly 30,000 troops, but those were not Jamuka's own troops, and to him, they could not even be called losses.  To eliminate Taiyang Khan's 50,000 elites, he only paid a mere 5,000 landmines, and the army's losses were negligible.  Now he not only occupies all the territory and population of Shilu Khan, but also 70% of Taiyang Khan's property, army, and livestock have fallen into his hands. At least for the next ten years, he does not need to worry about the Naiman tribe.  What's more, given Taiyang Khan's cowardice, as long as he didn't die, the Naiman tribe would not dare to make any move.  Now it¡¯s time to go back, and it¡¯s also time to reward your merits.  In these two matters, Jamukha, who is now well-deserved, cannot make the decision without authorization. He has to ask someone for instructions.  This person is of course Han Zhongwei, King of Xixia. Without Han Zhongwei's permission, Jamuka could not move.  Now his retreat was completely blocked by the escorts led by Du Gao. With Jamuka's current strength, he did not dare to make any changes.  Although the escort did not send out a single soldier in this crusade against the Naiman tribe, Jamuka wisely credited Han Zhongwei with the first success.  Half of the wealth and livestock obtained from the Naiman tribe was directly handed over to the guard, and the rest was shared with other Mongolian tribes.  No one dares to dispute this.  Even Jamukha didn't even say no. How dare those other tribes who feared him have any complaints?  Han Zhongwei didn¡¯t even say thank you to the things Jamuka sent, and directly ordered Zhang Zhongtong to accept them all.  Not to mention the wealth of the Naiman tribe, there are hundreds of thousands of livestock. When they are returned to the guard city, Han Zhongwei will probably become the person with the most cattle and sheep on the grassland.  Now Han Zhongwei has ordered Liu Qing to build a textile factory and a fur factory in the Guard City. All wool, cowhide, and sheepskin must be deeply processed in the Guard City before they can be continuously sold to various places, bringing Han Zhongwei huge wealth.  Now that the grassland has been unified by Jamuhe, Han Zhongwei is very pleased about this.  Although Jamukha became the lord of the grassland, he actually knew that he had a very powerful say in the grassland.  He asked Jamuka to go east, but he would never dare to go west.  But even so, Han Zhongwei had no intention of just settling down. Now that he had traveled through time, he had to achieve some dominance.  At present, Xixia itself can be regarded as six points of home, while the Mongolian grassland can be regarded as at least eight points of home.  Although Han Zhongwei is now nominally a general in the Song Dynasty and a prince in Xixia, in fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the most powerful person in the world.  "Zhamuka, now that the grasslands have been unified, what are your plans next?" Han Zhongwei asked, it is inappropriate for all the Mongolians to be on the grasslands. It would be even more inappropriate if these Mongolians are still competitive. Otherwise,  , even if he could control Jamuka, he wouldn't be able to control all the Mongols.  "I really haven't thought about this." Jamukha touched the back of his head and said sheepishly.  His goal has always been to unify the tribes on the grassland, but now this goal has been achieved so easily. He really has no plan for what to do next.  "How about I give you an idea?" Although Han Zhongwei did not lead troops to fight during this period, he was not idle either. He had been thinking about what he should do next and what Jamuka should do. When he recalled  When he first traveled through time, he suddenly came up with a good idea. He copied the modules of the Song Dynasty and moved them to the grassland.  Let those bloody and aggressive Mongolians live a comfortable and luxurious life, and use time and superior life to dull their fighting spirit. Although it will take longer, even if you can unify the Central Plains, unless you  All the Mongols can be driven out, otherwise gentle methods must be used.  "The prince's idea must be brilliant, and I am all ears." Jamukha acted like his subordinate in front of Han Zhongwei, and this approach was by no means pretentious, it was really respect from the bottom of his heart.  "Now that you have unified the Mongolian grasslands, it is time to establish a khanate, and you will be the king." Han Zhongwei said with a smile.  "Establishing a khanate?" Jamukha's eyes were stunned, but he soon showed a look of ecstasy. Yes, who on the grassland can block his edge?  The armies bowed their heads and obeyed orders one after another, why would they not establish a khanate?  "Yes, the only thing you really control now is your own Plateau Zada ??tribe. Next, you will concentrate the control of all tribes in your own hands, so that the entire grassland will bow to your orders." Han Zhongwei stood up.  , waved his hand and said loudly.  ¡°Can I do it??  "Zhamukha imagined his majesty sitting in the golden tent. What kind of scenery and authority is that? "Of course, and I will do my best to help you. For your newly established Khanate, I will do it for free.  In order to build three big cities for me, they will be more than twice the size of my guard city, and your capital will be more than five times the size of my guard city. In your capital, you can station 100,000 troops and live in 500,000 people.  The above population is absolutely unique in the entire north.  "Han Zhongwei laughed. "My lord, it costs countless dollars to build one city, let alone three cities, and the capital city is more than five times the size of your guard city. How can I bear to let you spend so much money.  "Zhamukha was dumbfounded by Han Zhongwei's description. If there were really three big cities on the grassland, I'm afraid he would have to leave his name in history. Hundreds of years later, everyone would praise him when he was mentioned. "Between you and me.  Why do you need to be so polite?  Of course, I am not completely unconditional. All shops, trading markets and other businesses in these three cities must belong to me. Even if there are outside businessmen, they can only rent my shop and must obtain my permission.  mean.  Of course, I will pay a lot of taxes. In the future, just collecting taxes will be enough to ensure the normal operation of your khanate. In addition to the cattle, horses, and sheep raised by your people, I will follow the instructions of the Central Plains.  Purchase at a reasonable price, and your khanate will soon become one of the richest countries in the world.  "Han Zhongwei painted a huge meat pie for Jamukha. Just hearing about this pie will make your mouth water. If you see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid you will never forget it in your life. "The prince is really polite. In fact, you are also the same in every city.  A certain number of guards can be stationed. They can not only protect the shops from being bullied by others, but also help maintain order in the city.  "Zamukha found it inconceivable that Han Zhongwei just proposed such a condition. In his opinion, Han Zhongwei must be at least half a family member of the Khanate. But now that he wants to do it, he only wants to make money by doing business and does not care about anything else. This  Jamuhe felt a little embarrassed. He owed Han Zhongwei too much. If possible, he even wanted to give half of the annual treasury income to Han Zhongwei. "It would be nice if each city could have one or two thousand."  Guards, that's the best.  Of course, these people will only equip your city with conventional weapons, not firearms. You can rest assured about this.  "Han Zhongwei said with a smile. "Being able to meet the prince in this life is really a blessing that I, Jamuka, have only had in several lifetimes.  "Zhamuhe saw that Han Zhongwei was thinking so much about him. He was so moved that he stood up and knelt down on the ground, bowing to Han Zhongwei with his five limbs prostrated to the ground. "King Khan, get up quickly. In fact, I am not like this. From now on, when you see me  There is no need to salute anymore, we can treat each other as equals.  "Han Zhongwei was filled with emotion. He actually took advantage of Jamukha. Although it seems that the Mongolians can live a happy life from now on as long as they remain the same as before, but the economic lifeline of the entire Mongolian Khanate is control.  In the hands of Han Zhongwei, there may not be any clues in recent years, but when the Mongolians get used to the comfortable and wealthy life, they will become fish and meat and be slaughtered by others. "Thank you, Your Majesty.  "Zhamu couldn't adapt to the change of identity when he became one. Maybe he will never get used to it. In front of Han Zhongwei, he will always remember that without this person, he might have become Temujin's prisoner. Without this person, he might have become Temujin's prisoner.  I am still struggling with the way out for the Plateau Zada ??tribe. ¡°Now I have thought of two places to build a city in these three cities, and I have to wait for you to make a decision on one more.  "Han Zhongwei smiled, took out a grassland map, and marked the place where he wanted to build a city for Jamuka. "You want to build a city in the Naiman tribe?  "Jamuhe didn't think there was anything wrong with Han Zhongwei deciding the location of the city on his own initiative, as if this was how it should be. Han Zhongwei built the capital in the territory of the Zatara tribe on the plateau, which Jamuka didn't think was wrong at all.  The merger was not unexpected, but a city was to be built in the Naiman tribe, which made him a little surprised. You must know that this place is far away from the center of the grassland. Even if you ride a fast horse, it will take three days and three nights to reach Plateau Zada.  Labu, is it necessary to spend such a huge amount of manpower, material and financial resources to build a city here? "Yes, the Naiman tribe are not Mongols after all. Although they surrender, they must be truly integrated into your khanate. And  It's a long way to go.  By building a city here, you can move part of the Mongolian tribe's herdsmen to dilute the Naiman tribe. At the same time, the pasture left by Buyulu Khan is also very good, and grazing here will have a good harvest.  There is another most important reason. Temujin left from here. You have to leave an elite force behind to guard against his return at any time.  "For Temujin, Han Zhongwei will be extremely vigilant at any time and at any time. Even though Temujin is like a lost dog now, in Han Zhongwei's view, he is still the most threatening to Jamuka."?A person.  "Thank you, Your Majesty." Jamukha heard Han Zhongwei's explanation and was immediately convinced. The Prince is really thinking about himself at all times and at all times. I'm afraid I won't be able to repay his kindness in this life. Maybe with his own son, I can barely repay him.  "Your Majesty, how about I choose this third city here?" The place Jamukha chose formed a triangle with the capital and the guard city, and it was only three hundred miles away from the Kingdom of Jin, so it could serve as a defense against the Kingdom of Jin.  role.  "There is no water source here. Go a hundred miles east. There is a river here. It is unimaginable to have a city without water." Han Zhongwei smiled and said, Jamuka had a good idea. With the addition of the guard city, these four cities  The city will become the four fulcrums on the Mongolian prairie, allowing Jamuka to firmly control the entire grassland in his hands.  ¡°I¡¯m confused, so let¡¯s take it for granted, Your Majesty.¡± Jamukha also smiled and said, ¡°Your Majesty, if I establish a Khanate, will the Jin Congress send troops?¡± He thought of another very serious question.  "The Kingdom of Jin is weak now. If you don't go to trouble him, they will burn incense. How dare they come to trouble you? I dare say that as long as you establish the Khanate, the Kingdom of Jin will be the first to recognize it.  " Han Zhongwei said that the Jin Kingdom is now just a powerful foreign country. If according to the original history, the Jin Kingdom was destroyed by the Mongols, he would not be able to march to the grassland unless he was impatient.  Speaking of the Kingdom of Jin, Han Zhongwei remembered that he had reached an agreement with Wanyan Jing, whereby he and the other party would each support one person on the grassland, and then let their agents fight and kill on the grassland, never to rest in peace.  But now Han Zhongwei wants to change his mind. A relatively stable and powerful Mongolia is good for Han Zhongwei at present.  "I really don't have much experience in establishing a country. I wonder if the prince has any advice on government affairs and the army?" Jamukha asked. The north of Xixia is now equivalent to a small country. Although it has not been announced to the outside world, the Zhongxing government has not recognized it.  , but everyone who knows the truth knows that there is Han Zhongwei's independent kingdom, and even the army belongs to him. There is nothing he can't decide.  "I'm asking, the first thing you have to do now is to set up a team to govern the country. Otherwise, how can you manage a place as big as the Mongol Khanate well with your own efforts? You first need to set up officials to govern the country. Here  You can imitate the Song Dynasty or the Jin Dynasty. Your political orders are issued by them, and they are only responsible for you. In this way, you can be freed from busy government affairs, ride horses, and hunt, even if you are the Khan King.  That's it. The other thing is the army. Now your army is based on tribes, which will be very detrimental to the future. You can imitate my guard army, or you can make up your own troops, such as commanders, centurions, and thousands.  You can directly command the army by controlling a few captains, captains of ten thousand, etc. This will make it a lot easier for you. Like me, I only focus on Du Gao now, and I have an army of hundreds of thousands of guards.  If you can use your arms, you can hit wherever you point." Han Zhongwei introduced his experience to Jamuka.  "After listening to what the prince said, I will avoid at least ten years of detours." Jamuka greatly admired Han Zhongwei's proposal. Now that he controls the army, he mainly controls the leaders of each tribe. Once he reorganizes the army, he can  Replace those commanders of thousands and commanders with people you trust. That way you can avoid future troubles forever and make the Mongolian army truly useful to you.  "This is nothing. If you can establish Mongolia earlier, my business can be opened earlier. By the way, it is impossible to start construction of these three cities at the same time. My idea is to build the capital first. Once the capital is built,  You can formally ascend the throne and establish a country." Han Zhongwei had actually asked Zhang Zhongtong to make preparations. In order to build the Mongolian capital as soon as possible, Han Zhongwei even ordered to stop some unnecessary construction of the guard city and go all out to build the capital.  "As long as Mongolia is still controlled by me and my descendants, Your Majesty, your business can continue for generations to come." Jamukha said gratefully.  "Okay, your words are worth a drink." Han Zhongwei smiled, but he suddenly frowned: "What are you going to do with the chiefs, chiefs, and khans of other tribes?" "Once the capital is built,  , let their sons live in the capital and become protons." Jamukha knew about Xixia's proton army, and now he also wants to imitate it.  "That's not the safest way. You should move all their families to the capital, give them titles, reward them with wealth, and let them live a superior and luxurious life. Only in this way can you completely control their tribe."  Han Zhongwei shook his head and gave Jamukha another good idea.  "Yes, the capital can accommodate 500,000 people. Even if all their families are moved here, it will still be enough. At the same time, their sons and grandsons can join the army and form an army to serve me." Jamukha  Regarding Han Zhongwei¡¯sConspiracy is to be admired to the point of admiration.  Jamuka decided to establish the military system here and promulgated Zasa.  The military system is organized according to thousands, hundreds, and tens, and commanders of thousands, centurions, and tens are appointed to command all the troops.  An official named Tia'erbi (equivalent to the prime minister of the inner government) was established and divided into six people to take charge of various affairs.  There are eighty dormitory guards and seventy casual shifts. The dormitory guards patrol at night and the casual shifts are on duty during the day, rotating every three days and three nights.  In addition, a thousand warriors were selected from the children of thousands or hundreds of households and common people to serve as vanguards in wartime and as guards in peacetime.  After some reorganization, the army's combat effectiveness was further improved, discipline became stricter, and Jamuka's authority was more firmly established.  After such an adjustment, Jamukha felt that he was really relaxed. He usually had to do everything himself, and he didn't know how much he envied the leisurely Han Zhongwei.  It turns out that the root of the problem is here. Now it's better. I can be like Han Zhongwei. When something happens, I listen to the report of the official, and when I have nothing to do, I go hunting. I also choose some beauties from various tribes to give myself a few more children.  son.  As soon as Jamuka took action, Han Zhongwei asked Zhang Zhongtong to dispatch all capable civilians and craftsmen to continuously transport a large amount of building materials from Heicheng, Heishui, and Xiping Prefectures to the new central capital of the Mongolian Khanate.  Once the Mongolian capital is built, Han Zhongwei's great cause will also complete a solid and long-term step.
