Chapter 2 I am here in this world

In the autumn of 1162, the future Genghis Khan was born in a yurt on the upper Onon River.His father Yesugai had just returned from the battlefield. The chief of the Qiyan tribe in the Mongolian Alliance held up the conqueror of the world decades later with his thick hands, and said excitedly to his wife Hoelun: "He will be the leader of all people in the future." The Khan of the Mongols!" Hoelun replied, "Then there should be a name like Khan." Yesugai turned his head and looked outside. There was a lot of noise outside the yurt, and many people were talking about a chained prisoner. It was the precious spoils that Yesugai brought back from the battlefield: a Tatar warrior named Temujin.Yasugai looked affectionately at the baby in his arms and said, let's call him Temujin, and hoped that he would be as brave as this great enemy in the future.

It is a Mongolian custom to name one's own child after a great enemy, and Hoelun readily agreed to this name with the meaning of "iron will".Temujin came to the world like this. At this point in the story, we haven't discovered the magic and surprises in the birth of the great Genghis Khan.Fortunately, an action by Yesugai opened our eyes.When he carefully opened Temujin's right hand, a miracle happened: Temujin had a blood clot in his palm, shaped like a spear point.Yesugei stared at it for a long time, and said ecstatically, "This is the spear of the God of War. My son will definitely be the hero of the battlefield in the future!" He carried the child to Hoelun, and asked his wife to take a good look at the blood clot. Hoelun saw it, and so did the two maids beside him.Soon, the news that the eldest son of the chief of the Qiyan tribe, Yesuge, was born with blood spread across the Mongolian Plateau like the wind.But soon everyone forgot it, because everyone has more important things to do, only Ye Sugai did not forget, because "looking forward to his son becoming a dragon" is the most important thing in his life.

At least in his youth, Temujin lived up to his father's expectations.At the age of ten, his physique and strength were far above that of ordinary people.He has a full sky, a round earth pavilion, fiery eyes, and golden-red hair, always attracting attention.Those who deal with him for the first time can quickly feel the aristocratic temperament exuded by him that cannot be ignored. If there is no accident, after many years, Temujin will inherit the position of his father as the chief of the Qiyan tribe. If there is a little more luck, he is likely to become the khan of the entire Mongolian alliance.But in response to that sentence, nine out of ten unsatisfactory things happen in life, and accidents happen suddenly when the weather is calm.

When Temujin was ten years old, Yesugei called him to the big wheel, compared him, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You are already as tall as the wheel, so it's time to make a marriage." Yesugei is an executive force A powerful man, the day after he said this, he took Temujin on the road of engagement. Originally, his destination was the hometown of his wife Hoelun, the Ulehuna tribe, which is famous for its rich beauties on the Mongolian plateau.It was getting dark when he passed by the Hongji tribe, so he lived in the home of a local man named De Xuechan (Xue Chan means wise man).De Xuechan is a veritable wise man, he judged from the attire of Yesugai and his party that this person is either rich or noble.So he entertained Yasugai and Temujin warmly, and at the dinner, he revealed Yasugai's true identity and the purpose of his trip.

De Xuechan rolled his eyes, determined to climb the dragon and follow the phoenix.But he is a person with advanced intelligence, so he can't propose marriage to Yesugei too blatantly, it's not decent, and he can't gain the respect of the other party.This kind of thing must be considered in the long run. After thinking for a long time, he finally came up with an idea. Therefore, De Xuechan said to Yesugai mysteriously: "Last night I had a dream. I dreamed that a sea dongqing flew from the sky, holding the sun with one paw and the moon with the other paw, and fell to the sky. On my arm. I was amazed when I woke up. Common sense tells me that the sun and the moon are high above and beyond reach. How could it be on my arm? I am sure this is a symbol of great luck. Now you take you Now that my child has come, I am even more convinced that my dream has come true."

Yesugei was very surprised, but he didn't know why. He said: "I took my son to the Ulehuna tribe to get married. I just passed by here. I don't know what relationship my son has with your great luck?" De Xuechan said solemnly: "Of course it is related. I happen to have a daughter named Borte, who is also at the age of engagement." Yesugai had seen Borte a long time ago. He was about the same age as Temujin, handsome and extraordinary.Before he could react to Dexuechan's words, Dexuechan said again: "No one on the grassland knows that the Ulehuna tribe is just a branch of our Hongjila tribe. The real beauties are all here. Why do you bother?" Seek far away?"

Yesugei realized that if he refused to agree to the marriage, it would be too embarrassing for Xue Chan, so he said, "Okay, then I will propose marriage for my son tomorrow morning according to the rules of the prairie people." De Xuechan stayed up all night.The next day, Yesugei asked him to marry his daughter to his son. After three consecutive requests, De Xuechan agreed.This is not De Xuechan putting on airs, but the rules on the grassland.This rule just wants to tell people that if you get anything, including your wife, you must go through difficulties before you will know how to cherish it in the future.

In this way, Temujin had a wife, but according to the grassland tradition, he had to stay in the old man's house for a year and do some chores before he could take his wife away. Before Ye Sugai left, he looked into Temujin's eyes and said nothing.After a while, he called De Xuechan aside and said, "My son is not afraid of anything, but dogs. Please don't let dogs scare him." De Xuechan thought he heard it wrong, and asked, "What are you afraid of?" Yesugai said word by word: "Dog, Temujin is afraid of dogs."
