Chapter 4 being abandoned

Ye Sugai's worries before his death were not unfounded, but had profound reasons.To understand this truth, one must review the brief history of the Mongolian tribes and the social customs of the Mongolians at that time. According to the Mongols themselves, they are descendants of gray wolves and white deer, and they have been grazing for a long time around the Kherlen River and Mount Kent (Buerhan Mountain).A few years ago, the Mongolian tribes were divided into dozens of tribes such as the Qiyan tribe, the Hongjira tribe, the Taichiwu tribe, the Zhadalan tribe, the Wuliangha tribe, the Baalin tribe, the Balulas tribe, and the Zhuerqin tribe. Tribes, tribes compete with each other to kill each other.Suddenly one day, the Qiyan tribe where Yesugai lived came out with a hero Hebuler, who formally unified the Mongolian tribes and thus became the first Khan of the Mongolian Alliance.

By the time of the fourth term, there was only one candidate for the Khan of the Mongolian Alliance, and that was Yesugei, the grandson of Hebul Khan of the Qiyan tribe, who was Temujin's father.But Taichi Wubu believes that the feng shui turns, and the candidate for the Khan should come from their tribe.The elders of the Mongol League could not persuade Taichiwubu, so Yesugai had no way to succeed Khan.Even so, Yesugai maintained the formal existence of the Mongolian Alliance by virtue of his ability.He does not have the name of Khan, but he has the reality of Khan. However, it must be noted that the power of the Mongolian Khan is limited to commanding expeditions and hunting.As for the internal affairs of the tribes, the Khan has no right to intervene.The Mongol League was originally a loose organization, and Yesugei only used strong means to make these tribes respect him on the surface. When he died, all the tribes, especially the Taichiwu tribe who had a grudge against the Qiyan tribe, would of course abandon their family .

This is both internal and external. To the southeast of the Mongolian Alliance is their feuding Tatar tribe, and to the south is the Wanggu tribe.In the southwest of the Mongolian Ministry is the powerful Kelei tribe, and to the west of the Kelei tribe is the even more powerful and sturdy Naiman tribe.On the north side of the Mongolian tribe are the cunning and warlike forest tribes and the rebellious Mierqi tribe.In short, the weak Mongolian Alliance is in the field of four wars, and if you don't pay attention, it will be swallowed by other big tribes. Yesugai's worries are also reflected in the sinister environment full of traps, betrayal, plunder and massacres on the Mongolian grasslands. There is no loyalty between people, only the interests of survival.Perhaps, Hoelun, the wife of Yesugai with superhuman intelligence, thought that she would be betrayed by the alliance, but she just didn't expect that the betrayal would come so quickly.

A year after Yesugai's death coincided with the spring festival, which was a ceremony for the Mongols to worship their ancestors, and all Mongolian nobles had to participate.After the ancestor worship ceremony, those who participated in the ancestor worship will share sacrifices. These sacrifices are more symbolic to the nobles than practical. This year's spring festival was presided over by the two wives of the second Khan of the Mongolian Union, Taichiwubu Anbahai.But she was treated unfairly, and when the sacrificial ceremony was over, she was not given a sacrifice.In the eyes of the Mongols, if a person does not receive sacrifices, it means that he is no longer a member of the tribe.

Hoelun discovered this cruel reality, immediately blocked the way of my two wives, and asked the two old women forcefully: "Why didn't the ancestor worship tell me?" The two old women tilted their heads and sneered. Hoelun immediately turned to the attack, and asked everyone present with his gun and stick: "Yesugai is indeed dead, but don't you know that his son will grow up? You are not afraid that his son will die in the future." Angry? Why don’t you divide the sacrifices without me? You don’t divide my sacrifices today, do you still want to abandon us tomorrow?”

Hoelun originally thought that these words would deter the two old women, but she miscalculated her own power and influence.As she herself said, Yesugai was dead, her sons hadn't grown up yet, and the grassland was a utilitarian place, so big talk couldn't frighten others.So, as soon as her words fell, the two old women began to fight back: "You said that we didn't invite you to worship our ancestors, so why should we invite you? What right do you have to come? What right do you have to divide the sacrifices? We will never interfere with ancestor worship in your own home."

Hoelun smoked from the seven orifices, bit her lips tightly, and the muscles on her face twitched. Finally, she resisted the humiliation, pointed at the two old women, and said a word: "Okay!" Everyone in the department left angrily. Temujin comforted the grief-stricken mother who had returned home, saying, "We don't need to beg them. One day, they will come to beg us." Hoelun smiled wryly, hugged the children in his arms, and couldn't help thinking of her husband Ye Suge. On the night Temujin comforted his mother with big words, an emergency meeting was called in Techi Ube.The meeting decided to abandon Temujin's family.Before dawn the next day, the entire Taichiwu tribe left camp, leaving only the remnants of Mars flying in the darkness before dawn.
