Tumeng: I am a national advisor in the Golden Family

All the nobles on the entire Mongolian grassland paid homage to herself and her men, which made Tulanlun's face full of smiles.

Once upon a time, when she married her man, she thought that it was good enough for him to be a marquis of the Han Dynasty, and his family was at least a noble family.

But he did not expect that the head of the family would become a prince and receive rewards from his father Genghis Khan.

She thought that was the end, but she didn't expect that her man could go one step further. With the support of two generations of Mongol Khans, Ogedei and Guiyou, he expanded the territory and had the status of establishing his own khanate.

Now he has gone a step further and obtained the supreme power, the highest honor on the grassland, the title of the strongest on the grassland, the spokesperson of Changshengtian, and the Great Khan of Mongolia.

"From now on, Karakorum in the Mongolian grassland will serve as my temporary palace in the Mongolian grassland. When I am in the Central Plains, the descendants of the Ogedei family will live here." Zhang Yong said.

"We will follow the Khan's order." All the Mongolian nobles stood up collectively and bowed to Zhang Yong, just like when they knelt down to worship Ogedei and Guyuk.

A grand banquet was held for three consecutive days across the grassland. Zhang Yong entertained various princes and nobles in the name of the Mongolian Khan and rewarded everyone.

As Zhang Yong's queen, Tulanlun, Xiaoyun and several other concubines also accepted the greetings of all Mongolian nobles, even including Guyuk's wife, Queen Haimisi.

"Come, come! There are rewards for all of you." Tulanlun's face was full of smiles, and he gave treasures one by one to other Mongolian noble women.

Now her husband is really very rich. He has pearls from the south, agate gems from the west, even ivory sent from the Delhi Sultanate, and all kinds of gold jewelry.

"Thank you, Queen! Thank you, Queen!" (She should actually be called Dahanerduo here, but for the sake of convenience, she will be called Queen directly.)
"From today on, you must be loyal to the Khan. Your family, your descendants, your husbands, and your brothers, as long as they are loyal to the Khan, they will be rewarded accordingly.

In the future, this grassland will prosper and be passed down from generation to generation, but if someone is unwilling to accept this gift.

Then the Khan's army will also flatten his territory and kill all his people. "Tulanlun looked at the Mongolian nobles in front of her, and the woman showed an extremely proud expression on her face.

It's a pity that my mother passed away two years ago, otherwise she would have seen how powerful her daughter is now. Your daughter has also taken the position you once held, and is even one level higher than you.

Once upon a time, she was just one of the Mongolian noble women, but since she followed her boss, everything has changed. Her status has been rising, rising, and rising.

“It’s Her Majesty the Queen, we still have our men, brothers, and children.

We will obey your orders and the Khan's orders from now on." A group of Mongolian noble women immediately knelt in front of Tulanlun and spoke very respectfully.

"Ok!"

After meeting these Mongolian noble women, Tulanlun left with Zhang Yong's other women with a smug look on his face.

At this moment, Queen Haimisi looked extremely ugly. All of this, all of this, originally belonged to her.

All these honors originally belonged to him, but now they have been taken away by another woman. How can she be willing to accept this!
And this woman even came to show off in front of him.

"Ah! All this should have been mine, all this should have been mine, but now it's all been taken away, taken away." After Tulanlun left, Haimisi screamed madly.

Seeing this former Mongolian queen who seemed to have gone insane, some of the Mongolian noble women around her sighed while others showed expressions of gloating.

"Haimishi, face the reality now! The arm cannot twist the thigh. You, you should stop causing trouble for the King of Guanzhong. Otherwise, the women and even the men of our Ogedei family will not survive." A woman from the Ogedei family spoke up. She was really afraid that this woman would suddenly do something stupid.

If they continue like this, their Ogedei family might be killed by the Khan himself.

"Haha! Hahaha! The Ogedei family? Where is the Ogedei family? Our Ogedei family will disappear in a few years." Hai Misi laughed a little crazily.

The Ogedei family, now everything of the Ogedei family has been taken away, and it was given away by her own stupid husband.

Among these women, whether they were willing or not, whether they wanted to admit in their hearts that Zhang Yong was the Great Khan of Mongolia or not, the matter had already been settled, and they could only accept the reward from Zhang Yong's wife with a smile on the surface.

The entire Mongolian nobility and the Mongolian grasslands all surrendered to Zhang Yong.

In Zhang Yong's study, the father and son were gathered together at this time.

"Things on the Mongolian grasslands have almost been dealt with. Go pack your luggage. We will return to the Central Plains in a few days.

I will not return to Guanzhong this time. My new capital is built in Daxing Prefecture, now called Dadu." Zhang Yong looked at his son and said.

"Father! Now all the Mongolian nobles have basically surrendered to us, but if we withdraw our troops, will they rebel? After all, the Ogedei family still has leadership. If they start to call for action, many Mongolian princes may respond." Zhang Dingguan said.

This matter must be considered carefully. When his father was here with the army, these Mongolian princes did not dare to rebel. But once the army left, it would be hard to say.

"Hahaha! I've already thought of what you've thought of.

First, I will leave 10,000 troops in Kharakhorin to defend Kharakhorin," Zhang Yong said.

"Father, isn't ten thousand people a little too few?
The Ogedei family has 50,000 soldiers and horses. The entire Mongolian grassland has a large population in recent years, even if you take away the army of Tolui's family.

But we can still mobilize at least 100,000 troops here. There are at least 150,000 soldiers on the Mongolian grasslands, and we can even mobilize 200,000. "Zhang Dingguan said.

The situation on the Mongolian grasslands was not optimistic. His father had suppressed all the Mongolian nobles with absolute force, making them submit on the surface. However, many Mongolian nobles were insulting his father behind his back.

They said he was a traitor and had usurped the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia, so Zhang Dingguan thought that leaving 10,000 troops in Karakorum was not enough, far from enough.

"Haha! I have thought of everything you have thought of. First of all, Karakorum is a big city. My 10,000 garrison troops will be equipped with the most advanced firearms. I will station a Northwest Army on the border of Mongolia.

Their number was set at 100,000, and this army was composed entirely of Han troops, equipped with war horses.

They also have the most advanced firearms. As long as there is any disturbance on the Mongolian grassland, this army can immediately enter the Mongolian grassland and head straight to Kharakorum. "Zhang Yong said.

The Ogedei family had an army of 50,000, but these people had been almost divided by themselves, and do you think that the people under their command wanted to fight?
And who could lead them? Guiyou's wife, she didn't have the skills, as for the other generals of the Ogedei family.

At most, he could only lead the troops under his own command. They had no backbone and no one to take the lead in the rebellion, so it was impossible for them to succeed. Ten thousand people were enough to guard Karakorum.

"No, what about the other kings of the East and the West? How do you plan to control them?" Zhang Dingguan asked.

The problem of Karakorum was solved. There was a Northeast Army stationed on the border and another 10,000 people stationed in Karakorum, but what about the other Mongolian things to the kings?

"Except for Karakorum, there are no cities on the grasslands. All the kings of the Eastern Road and the Western Road live in scattered tribes?

I will build a watchtower in some important areas, and there will be one such watchtower every four or five hundred miles.

These turrets can accommodate two hundred people. I will station the army here, install cannons and muskets on the towers, and cultivate some grassland and raise some horses in the turrets.

The soldiers in these artillery towers will be stationed on the Mongolian grasslands to monitor the actions of all the kings of the East and West for me. Their military pay is the highest in the entire army. They will be rotated every three years. As long as they are stationed here for three years, they can be discharged immediately after returning to the Central Plains and enjoy extremely high treatment. "

"Father, with only two hundred men, can we suppress the Mongol princes of an entire region?
The power of the kings of the East and West is indeed not strong, but each of them has more than a thousand soldiers under their command, and the largest one even has two to three thousand soldiers. "

“Each of the artillery towers is not too far apart. It is not easy for the cavalry to capture these artillery towers. The muskets and cannons on the towers will teach them a lesson.

I will also equip it with smoke signals and beacons, so that if any artillery tower is attacked, the artillery towers in the distance can see it immediately.

If the news is passed down from one place to another, the defenders of Karakorum will immediately know which Mongolian prince started the rebellion. "Zhang Yong said.

It is certainly unrealistic to have a large-scale garrison, but I can have a small-scale garrison. Even in the future, when the power of my own firepower is further increased, the garrisons of these artillery tower troops will be reduced to more than a hundred people.

The former Tsarist Russia used this trick to control the vast land in the Far East, built one artillery tower after another on this land, and controlled the Mongolian grasslands.

These watchtowers served a very good purpose of surveillance and deterrence. From time to time, the defenders in the watchtowers would even fire cannons and guns to intimidate Mongolian civilians.

Building a small artillery tower was a piece of cake for the Han people, some of the top craftsmen in the Southern Song Dynasty.

It is even possible to build such a majestic mountain city in the Chongqing-Sichuan area. It would be even easier to build a watchtower on a plain grassland.

There are many barren mountains on the grassland. These barren mountains are the best quarries. Some artillery towers can be built against the mountains, which makes defense easier.

"I understand, father. Your strategy is indeed good. If this is the case, we only need to build some watchtowers on this land, which will be enough to monitor all the kings." Zhang Dingguan said.

"There are other ways. The food on the grassland is completely under my control. Once a rebellion occurs, I will cut off the food supply. Then the soldiers on the grassland will have no food. It is impossible for them to rebel because all their lifelines are in my hands." Zhang Yong said.

I started arranging all of this and the food route on the grassland more than ten years ago.

The food transportation measures on the grassland were established by himself. Although this method made the population of the entire grassland flourish, it also allowed Zhang Yong to successfully control the food lifeline of the grassland.

These small artillery towers could not be taken down by a cavalry unit of only a thousand men without powerful firearms, but the cannons and muskets on top of the towers could cause huge damage to the cavalry.

If they run out of food and can no longer capture these artillery towers, the rebellious Mongolian princes will be in trouble.

Seven days later! Zhang Yong led his army and began a grand return to the east. This time, among the people returning to the east were the descendants of Mongolian Khan Guyuk.

Zhang Yong had no intention of leaving them on the grassland, but to take them away and raise them by his side.

Before leaving, Zhang Yong left behind an army of 20,000 soldiers and the original Han craftsmen in Kharakhorum City, and asked them to start building artillery towers in various places.

When Genghis Khan established Karakorum, he employed 100,000 Han craftsmen here. Twenty years later, the number of Han craftsmen here has reached more than 200,000.

These Han craftsmen have always been thinking about their homeland. After all, the Han people do not like to live on the grasslands.

"Great Khan! You are also a Han Chinese! You promised us that as long as we finish building these dozens of small artillery towers, we can return to our hometown to live, right?"

"That's right. I promise you, as long as you finish building the turret, you can return with your family."

Zhang Yong promised these Han craftsmen that as long as they completed the construction of these densely packed small artillery towers throughout the grassland.

Then they can return to the Central Plains, survive in the northern lands, and return to their homeland.

"Khan! No! Your Majesty! We will definitely complete the task. In a year at most, or even less than a year, we will have built all these small artillery towers." The leading craftsman knelt down excitedly.

These Han people were forcibly abducted to the grassland by the Mongols and have lived here for more than 20 years, but deep in their hearts they always want to return to their homeland.

After receiving Zhang Yong's promise, these Han people and craftsmen were extremely grateful and immediately began to build the artillery tower.

Zhang Yong gave them a detailed construction plan and asked them to design it themselves.

These small turrets were designed completely like a small city wall, forming a circular fortress. The central commanding point was six meters high, and the outer city wall was also three to four meters high.

According to Zhang Yong's requirements, each of these turrets can mount at least six cannons at the same time, and has more than one hundred shooting holes, which can support more than one hundred and fifty soldiers to participate in the battle at the same time.

Faced with such dense firepower, the cavalry team of a thousand men did not dare to approach this small artillery tower.

At the same time, there is sufficient water source around these artillery towers, and there are cargo warehouses inside for storing food and artillery shells, which can store at least two to three months of supplies.

Zhang Yong stipulated that the 10,000 troops stationed in Karakorum would provide them with supplies and deliver food to them every few months.

These densely packed small artillery towers were built on the Mongolian grasslands, and one after another, they were completed, occupying the most dangerous terrain. Some small artillery towers were even built directly on the mountains, overlooking the surrounding scenes within a radius of 100 miles.

Then Zhang Yong's army moved in and took control of the entire Mongolian grassland. The soldiers stationed in the small artillery tower were also Zhang Yong's elite troops.

Possessing rich experience in firearms operation and relying on these densely packed small bunkers, they are Zhang Yong's spies on the Mongolian grasslands and can monitor all the kings of the Western and Eastern Mongolian Roads.

As for the more distant areas, they were the territories of Kublai Khanate and the Golden Horde. Kublai Khanate was the first to receive the news that Zhang Yong had become the Great Khan of Mongolia.

Kublai Khan was not surprised by this result, but he felt infinitely angry.

Kublai Khan was very angry that day and even killed several of his own attendants.

All the generals and attendants had never seen Kublai Khan so furious. This Khan had always been known as a humble and gentle Khan.

"Zhang Yong! Hahaha! You really revealed your wolf ambition. Look, Genghis Khan and Great Khan Ogedei, you have been on guard against our Tolui family, but you didn't expect that the thief in your own family would appear in your own hands." Kublai Khan looked at the sky, opened his arms, and roared in anger.

He had expected this day a long time ago, but when it finally came, he still found it hard to accept. The supreme title of the Great Khan of Mongolia was taken away by someone like that.

"Khan, you, you must take care of your health and don't get sick from anger. Our Kublai Khanate has just been established." A general of Kublai Khan's family said.

"I know that this time, Zhang Yong slapped me hard in the face. Sooner or later, I will regain my face. I will regain face for the Mongols and the Golden Family." Kublai Khan said.

"As long as you can figure it out, Khan, we, the veterans of the Tolui family, will follow you."

"Well! You should immediately send a messenger to Batu Khan's territory in the west and tell him the news.

And announce to all the Eastern and Western Daozong kings of the Mongolian grasslands that I, Kublai Khan, will never recognize the election of the Mongolian Khan. Zhang Yong's position as the Mongolian Khan is illegal. "Kublai Khan said. (End of this chapter)
