Chapter 16 genghis khan

"Genghis" is written as "Qinggisi" in Uighur Mongolian literature, and it is called "Jinggisi" in Japanese.Why there are so many pronunciations is not a question we want to discuss.What we want to explore is the meaning of the name "Genghis".One kind of saying is that "Genghis" means powerful; Li Shimin, the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty in China, was once called Tian Khan by the surrounding minority countries; the last saying is that on the day Temujin proclaimed Khan, a big bird landed on a branch and called "Genghis", In other words, Temujin's "Genghis Khan" was named after the bird.

No matter what kind of argument it is, the name "Genghis" is indeed as novel and resounding as Kuo Kuo said, especially when it is read in Chinese, it makes people feel very comfortable and intriguing.Soon, "Genghis Khan" spread throughout the Mongolian plateau in the praise of the Mongols. It didn't take long for the name to spread throughout the world through other ethnic groups, and it has been passed down for centuries like the Sanskrit sound outside the sky, until today. On the day of proclaiming his sweat, Temujin sat on a blanket with the support of the princes and announced that he was the Great Khan of the Mongols, named Genghis Khan.In the courteous yet dignified eyes of those princes, Temujin suddenly thought of their oath, and his heart immediately sank.

That oath proved aboveboard that those who support him as Khan just want to regard him as the commander of war and hunting, and only want him to lead them to plunder and hunt.In other words, Temujin's "Genghis Khan" is no different from the various "Khans" in the past. He is just a leader of a loose alliance, and the chiefs of each tribe still have an independent status. Temujin has no right to interfere in their internal affairs . Too much history has proved that this old-fashioned aristocratic alliance is dangerous.They only care about their own interests. Once their small family disagrees with everyone in the alliance, or the Khan of the alliance loses power, the alliance will collapse.

The talented and shrewd Temujin thought of a way to change the alliance almost without a teacher, which is to put all tribal members under his management as courtiers. He began to form his miniature khan court, dividing duties among his cronies.The first was the establishment of a "quiver man," that is, a man who carried a quiver on duty outside his tent.This was his bodyguard, which later became the backbone of the Mongol Empire's army.Secondly, to seek truth from facts, set up various administrative officials, such as Baluch (Khan chef), horse herd officer, shepherd officer, Chaerbi (tent patrol captain), sword man (patrol captain), Adoki (President of the bank, manages the horses), Tergeqi (Minister of Transport, in charge of vehicles), commands the far archer, the near archer (army commander and director of the Public Security Bureau), and finally, sets the chief of the officials (the prime minister ), and he was inseparable.Those who were honored to be his prime ministers were Boershu and Jalemie.

He told them the reason: "You two, when I had no friend but my shadow, became a shadow to comfort me, I will never forget. You became a whip to comfort me when I had no other but a tail." Me, I will keep it in my heart. You two have always followed me, so be the commander in chief here now." Borshu was looking for horses with Temujin when he was in a state of embarrassment. He was a man who valued love, loyalty and resourcefulness.And Jaleme is the kind of person Temujin likes the most, he is loyal and swears to repay the Lord with death.Choosing these two as his right and left hands is the result of Temujin's long-term observation, and it is not just what he can sum up in a few scenes.

Those who were entrusted with important tasks by him were all grateful, probably because no one on the Mongolian grasslands had ever given them such an honor.The Subotai who was once asked by Jamuka to be a pimp, after he got the position of commanding the archers, he patted his chest and promised Genghis Khan: "I will guard your property with the vigilance of a mouse, and collect money for you with the diligence of a crow. Belongings, protect your body like a blanket." Temujin was also very moved. He swore to these officials: "If you are blessed by the Longevity Heaven and become a major event, you will be the chief of my officials, my heroes, and my friends!"

All the people said in unison, ten thousand death will not give up. Temujin said to the tribal chiefs present: "I have set up positions for the purpose of unified management. Rules are the foundation of all things. From now on, your horses will be managed by Adoki, and your vehicles will be owned by you. T'ergeqi is in charge. In short, since you support me as Khan, you must obey my orders!" The princes were astonished, they never expected that they wanted to find a cornucopia, but they found the magic spell.However, the situation at that time did not allow them to turn back, and after much deliberation, as long as Temujin allowed them to have meat, wine, and women, it would be better than being poor and angry with others.

Temujin's establishment of the Khanate was a huge change in Mongolian history, even in the northern part of the Mongolian Plateau, this was unprecedented.For this Genghis Khan who has stepped onto the stage, what is the attitude of outsiders, especially Temujin's backer Touorilil and his rival Jamuka.This is an important diplomatic activity that Temujin is about to carry out. After hearing the news of Temujin's proclaiming Khan, Toorinle drew a sign of the cross on his chest and said, "My God, this is a good thing, why didn't I be notified in advance. The Mongols can't live without Khan, please represent me." I congratulate my son Temujin and tell him that I will support him no matter what."

At the same time, he warned the reporter as an elder and in the tone of someone who had come: "Since you make him sweat, remember that the collar of the clothes is the owner of the clothes and cannot be torn off. The oath you swore to him It cannot be easily discarded.” The people who came brought back Togolil's words to Temujin, and Temujin was relieved, which is not an exaggeration.If the mighty Touglinle does not agree with him calling sweat, then his calling sweat is like a dog bites a piss bubble—it’s just a joy, the three words "Genghis" can only be a laughing stock, and he built the Mongolian budding kingdom Will be short-lived.

This was the deadliest mistake Togolinle made in his life, and naturally it was Temujin's luck. After getting rid of Tuowolil, the rest is the very tricky Jamuka.Temujin was ashamed of this brother, he abducted many people of this brother, it can be said responsibly that he was really inhumane and unrighteous in handling the relationship with Jamuka.At the same time, he also knew that Jamuka was extremely hungry for the Khan of Mongolia.And his sweating before Jamuka was undoubtedly provoking the opponent's sensitive nerves.He couldn't predict Jamuka's attitude after he knew he was sweating. When he sent his younger brother Khasar to deliver the letter, he felt very upset.

What surprised him later was that Jamuka was just stunned for a moment when he heard Temujin's sweating, and then immediately opened his mouth and laughed, saying, "It's a good thing my brother said sweating!" All the people present were moved by Jamuka's generosity, and only the shrewd Khasar noticed that there was an imperceptible anger at the corner of Jamuka's mouth.However, it was only for a moment, and he immediately said to Khasar: "I bless Brother Temujin, no, I bless Genghis Khan." He muttered, "This name is really weird." After saying this, he suddenly made a sullen face, and said to Khasar: "Please tell me a message to those two old guys, Altan and Kuchar, why don't they talk to me when I'm with Temujin?" Supporting Temujin as Khan, and gossip behind my back to destroy the relationship between me and Temujin? Now they support Temujin as Khan, what is their intention?" This is jealousy and whining. In fact, the meaning behind his back is to say, why don't these two old things make me sweat! But it's done, and he can only eat dry vinegar. Besides, he can do sweating anytime, but even if he does sweating, he can't give it a weird name, such as "Genghis" sweating. Thinking of this, he smiled, and changed his tone and said to Ghasar: "Tell the two of them that since Temujin has been crowned Khan, they should be loyal to Temujin." At this point, he said sarcastically, "Don't be like when I was here, you didn't even fart, and ran away with others in the middle of the night." Khasar brought Jamuka's words back to Temujin, but Temujin didn't let go of his heart, because Jamuka's words with guns and sticks gave him an ominous premonition: the brotherhood between him and Jamuka, Probably not long.
