Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

"How could I be so kind to the Khan!" Hearing that he was given the title of second-class earl, Kenzhewul was so excited that he knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, banging and banging, and even bled. The Qing Dynasty always looked down on the Solon people, calling them barbarians, and gave them only the rank of assistant commander. I didn't expect Lianhua Khan to be so generous and confer the title of earl on him as soon as they met. This is rare among the Solon people!

What a loyal minister! Sultan was also moved. Many ministers kowtowed to him, but it was rare for one to kowtow so sincerely! Look, it's bleeding! He quickly helped him up and said with a smile: "Kenzhe Ule, you haven't introduced these distinguished guests to me yet." Instead of letting the ceremonial officer introduce them, this person showed that the Kingdom of David recognized Kenzhe Ule's leading position among the leaders of various tribes, which was another courtesy given by the Great Khan.

"Your servant obeys your order," Kenzhe Ule tried to calm down and introduced the leaders to the Supreme one by one.

Since it was a show, he had to do it in full. Sultan acted courteous and humble, and every time he introduced someone, he gave that person a big bear hug, trying to make every leader who was hugged feel his enthusiasm.

"Khan, this is Jibilge, the great leader of the Barhu tribe," Kenzhewule pointed at an old man of similar age and introduced him solemnly.

"Oh, Great Taiji Bilge, I heard that you are fair in your dealings, and all the Barhu tribes are willing to listen to your orders. This time you led the Barhu tribes to surrender to David, and your contribution is indeed not small. I will confer you the title of the third-class Barhu Earl," Sultan opened his mouth and conferred another earl.

Bilge's heart skipped a beat. He was also made an earl? Although it was slightly lower than Kenzhewul's second-class earl, it was a real earl after all. If it were in the Qing Dynasty, he would not even dare to think about it. He hurriedly thanked the emperor.

"Khan, this is Timur, the leader of the Buryat tribe and the bravest warrior of Barguzin," Kenzheyule pointed to a muscular man with a beard and introduced him.

Sultan looked at the man carefully and found that he was also looking at him. His eyes were arrogant and not as fearful as others. He thought to himself that the Buryat tribe seemed to be more stubborn than other tribes. It would take some time to subdue them. He smiled and said, "I have heard of the heroic deeds of leader Timur. The Russians invaded repeatedly, but you repelled them. You refused to submit to the pseudo-Qing and the Russians, but you submitted to me. This is really my luck!"

Seeing that the Great Khan was so humble, even though Temur was not completely convinced in his heart, he was too embarrassed to show his displeasure. He clasped his hands together and said, "I am not surrendering to a human Khan, but to Guru Padmasambhava."

"Oh, so Chief Temur also believes in Buddhism. When I have time, I will definitely discuss Buddhism with you." Upon seeing this, Sultan also clasped his hands together and made the lotus seal. His solemn appearance and the aura of an emperor frightened Temur so much that he no longer dared to be arrogant.

Seeing that his attitude had become much more submissive, Sultan laughed up to the sky, "Temur, I confer upon you the title of the third-class Buryat Count. I hope that you and your descendants will be loyal to me and my descendants for generations. The banquet has been set up in the city. Please follow me into the city. You will not return until you are drunk tonight!" After that, he invited everyone to enter the city to enjoy the food. The meal was very sumptuous. There were not only fine wine and delicious food, but also singing and dancing performances. To show off the martial arts, the ceremonial officer also arranged the Mongolian saber dance. The gleaming swords and the fierce warriors were like mountains, which fully demonstrated the martial spirit of the David Kingdom. Soon, the guests and hosts left happily.

The next day, the decree of reward came down. In addition to the three earls who were conferred outside the city that day, the leaders of the Barhu Halebin tribe, Arsalan, the leader of the Yongshebu tribe, Enhesen, the leader of the Buryat Kuicherik tribe, Yirentai, and the leader of the Huasai tribe, Jirigela, were also conferred as thousand-household heads; Kenzhe Ule's two cousins, Anggacha and Wumubuledai, were deputy thousand-household heads; the leaders of the Yakut Arla tribe, Amantai, the leader of the Tukedun tribe, Dular, the leaders of the Oroqen Yalu tribe, Nahata, the leader of the Jiqin tribe, Samaqier, and the leader of the Toqin tribe, Bayijiri, were all chiefs of a hundred households. In addition, there were many rewards such as silk, cloth, salt, ironware, tea, and porcelain. What attracted the leaders of various tribes the most was weapons. Great Khan Lianhua ordered that some of the seized Qing army weapons be selected as rewards for the surrendered Solon people, including 300 cotton armors, 800 swords, 800 rattan shields, 1,000 spears, 1,000 bows, 200 axes, 200 maces, 100 hammers, 100 iron rods, 150 old muskets, and other items such as caltrops and chevaux de frise. Seeing these supplies, the leaders' eyes turned red, and they respected the Great Khan even more and regarded him as a benefactor.

Sultan was not a kindhearted man. He had won many battles and captured a lot of spoils. It would be a waste to keep them in the warehouse. He might as well take them out as a favor. The war had been going on until now and the finances were tight. He really couldn't afford to take out too much money to win over the Solon people, so he thought of these spoils. Unexpectedly, the Qing court was afraid of the Solon people's bravery and did not dare to equip them with too good weapons. They strictly controlled the weapons, which led to the simple equipment of the Solon tribes. Many warriors used homemade bows and weapons. These things were rarer than gold, silver and jewelry to them, so they were naturally happy.

He granted titles and positions, and bestowed gifts, which initially won the hearts of the people. In order to make these tribes willing to serve him, the Great Khan summoned the leaders of each tribe for individual talks. The first person he summoned was naturally the loyal minister Kenje Ule. "Kenzhe Ule, I plan to attack Ningguta, but it is cold and difficult to transport. I can only stay in Hetuala and wait for the weather to improve and for the supplies to be transported. Do you have any good ideas?"

"Khan, it is indeed difficult to send a large army to attack Ningguta at this time. However, you can send a small force to sweep the tribes outside the Great Wall that refuse to surrender. The Daur, Yakut, Oroqen, Barhu, and Buryat tribes that have surrendered this time can provide supplies for this army," Kenzhe Ule suggested.

Sultan's eyes lit up. Yes, it was freezing cold, so it was impossible for a large army to fight. But a small force could be sent to harass the Qing army's rear. With the help of the Solon tribes who were familiar with the local terrain, there would be no problem with military supplies. Thinking of this, he asked eagerly, "If I send a small army to fight, are the tribes willing to send troops to help?"

"The Khan is our lord. When he goes to war, it is our duty to help," Kenzhey Ule hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

Sultan was overjoyed and encouraged him again before letting him leave. He then summoned the Barhu tribe's great taiji Bilge, who, like Kenzhewul, had just been made an earl and received a lot of benefits, and he readily agreed.

However, when summoning Timur, the leader of the Buryat tribe, something unexpected happened. "Great Khan, it's not that we are unwilling to send troops to help, but we are really unable to do so. The Russians in the north are constantly encroaching on our territory, and it is difficult for us to protect ourselves, and we have no strength to send troops." Timur smiled bitterly, "To be honest, this time I surrendered to Wei, and I also want to use the power of Wei to fight against the Russians."

"Rakshasa?" Sultan's eyes fixed, and he said in a deep voice: "Tell me about the Rakshasa." (End of this chapter)
