Chapter 10 "Sable Jacket" Diplomacy

More and more people came to join Temujin, and the living experience on the grassland told them that only by uniting around a leader who is not afraid of hardships and has outstanding talents, can they get benefits.The Mongols from various camps came, and they hoped that Temujin would lead them to numerous quality hunts to obtain food.The old people in each camp also sent their children and grandchildren, and they hoped that Temujin would lead these strong men to plunder tirelessly and obtain wealth.The Temujin family gradually changed from "Ayinle" to "Gulieyan". A rising tide raised all boats, and Temujin's ambition was aroused by the support of these people.However, at the age of 16, it would be extremely unrealistic to say that he had the ambition to dominate the grassland.Although Temujin had ambitions at the time, he probably just wanted to be a powerful chief of the Mongolian Qiyan tribe.

Of course, his ambition is also manifested in another aspect, which is to marry a wife.The wife already exists, so there is no need to look for it.In the past few years, the reason why he did not marry his wife, Boertie, was because he was living a precarious life, and he was still in danger, so how could he protect his wife?It is very different now, he has his own people, although there are only more than a hundred people. He dressed neatly, and set foot on the road to his father-in-law's house with his younger brother Biligutai. De Xuechan received him warmly, first asked his relatives, and then told his bodhisattva's heart: "I have heard about your difficult life in the past few years, and I also heard that Talihutai exhibited you everywhere like a monkey. I am very sad. I'm sorry I can't save you."

When the old father-in-law said this, he shed a few tears, but Temujin was not moved.It is well known that the strength of the Hongji assassination on the grasslands is poor.Its only value is in providing beautiful women to powerful tribes, which is why it survives.Temujin never expected his father-in-law to provide him with any help, so his father-in-law's words fell on deaf ears. He was most excited to see the already slim Borte. When we look at the portraits of Borte today, we will find that she is extremely ugly. In the portrait, she has a fat face and two eyes that cannot be opened.This may be intentional by the artist, symbolizing her mother's world.The real Bortie is as beautiful as flowers and jade, with a milk-like complexion, and is a model of beauty in the eyes of anyone in any era.

To Temujin's surprise, the old father-in-law readily handed his daughter into his hands without saying anything, and let him take her away.Of course, the dowry of Borte was amazing for Temujin at that time, more than a hundred sheep, more than a dozen cows and more than 20 horses, and one of the sable fur coats was even more valuable. According to his old The father-in-law said that he got it from Jin Guo through various relationships a few years ago. On the way back, Temujin stared blankly at the sable fur coat.Borte asked him tenderly what he was looking at, and Temujin said, "This fur coat is so pretty." Borte smiled and said, "No matter how beautiful it is, it's just a fur coat."

Temujin smiled imperceptibly, and whispered two words: Not necessarily. What Temujin wanted to say but didn't say was his next plan to revive the Beggar Department. This plan can be described in four words: revisiting old dreams.The implementer of the plan is called Toorinle, the leader of the Mongolian tribe's southwest neighbor Kelei. The Kelei tribe lives in the Tula River Basin of Mongolia today. To the east is the scattered Mongolian tribe, to the west is the powerful Naiman tribe, to the north is the rebellious Mierqi tribe, and to the south is the desert.When the Kelei tribe was at its most glorious, all the surrounding tribes bowed their heads to it, including the Mongolian tribe.This ministry believes in Christianity and is the birthplace of Nestorianism in China (the name of the Nestorians who were introduced to China in the Tang Dynasty).

Togolinle was ambitious and always wanted to restore the glory of the Kret tribe. However, he was too ambitious and talented, and was always troubled by internal affairs. became an exiled chieftain.Yesugei was a hero and brave, helped him collect his tribe, and helped him send troops to restore the chief.In order to thank Ye Suge for his help, Tuowolinle became Anda with him, determined to advance and retreat, share wealth, and share poverty.But the oath on the grassland is like the wind, and when Ye Suge is murdered, Tuo Olinle is indifferent, and when Ye Suge's family is in distress, he does not hear it.

There are no permanent friends, only eternal interests. This truth is practiced most firmly on the grassland. This is also the reason why Temujin has been suffering for so many years but has always refused to ask Tuolil for help.But now, his wings are a little stiff, so he is going to "revisit old dreams" with Tooril--to help him recall the kindness of his good brother Yesugei. However, old dreams are dull and uninteresting when warmed up, so Temujin took the precious sable fur coat with him.At the edge of the dark forest full of lavender thyme, Temujin saw Toorinle. There was a silver cross hanging around Toorilile's neck, which shone pale in the sunlight.He is fat, but well-proportioned, his eyes are erratic, but full of warmth.

Temujin respectfully presented the sable fur coat, and humbly told the nonsense that he wanted to visit his father's best brother a long time ago, and then quietly revealed that he is now a powerful person.These made him immediately a dignified, temperamental and promising young leader in the eyes of Towolil. Temujin extended the old dream appropriately: "You used to be brothers with my father, and my father's brother is my father." Toorilile opened his exaggeratedly small mouth and giggled, but his eyes remained on the sable fur coat.He had no feeling for Temujin revisiting his old dreams, but he had a good impression of Temujin's gift.So he stood up, held the cross tightly, and said to Temujin: "I will help you gather your lost clansmen; I will show them good looks for those who abandoned you. I will make your clansmen tightly united in your It is like the waist is attached to the buttocks, and the throat is attached to the chest."

It is said that the vulgar words "attach the waist to the buttocks, and attach the throat to the chest" are a solemn oath. I don't know how the spiritual teacher Jesus of Toorilil would feel when he heard such vulgar words. Temujin's behavior was equivalent to voluntarily acknowledging Togolinle as his protector, and he thus obtained Togolinle's verbal contract.Temujin took this step quite beautifully. It was under the protection and support of Tooril that he was able to defeat other tribes in Mongolia and became the Khan of the Mongols. Sensitively finding a backer is what Temujin can learn from.But there is one thing that many people can't learn, and that is Temujin's legacy.The reason why Temujin was able to find Toorinle as a backer was because of the relationship between his father and Toorinle. Without the inheritance left by his father, Temujin would not be able to talk to Toorinle at all.To be precise, Temujin relied on the contacts left to him by his father to rely on the backer of Toorilil.

Common people will never have such an opportunity. Of course, after finding a backer, we must let it maximize its value.Although the mountain can't come over, I can still go over it. Temujin took the initiative to let the mountain of Toorilil glow and glow, and his strategy was to use the banner as a tiger's skin.He sent people everywhere to publicize that the powerful leader of the Kret tribe, Togolil, is already Temujin's protector. The relationship between the two is closer than that of father and son. If Temujin wants the stars in the sky and the desert Tooril can help him pick any roses.

This kind of publicity has a remarkable effect.People from various Mongolian tribes came here upon hearing the news, and those who admired him fled on foot. His "Gulieyan" radiated outwards with his tent as the center. This circle became bigger and bigger, and Temujin's reputation became more and more popular. louder.
