Chapter 6 - War against the Jurchen

War against the Jurchen

Genghis Khan: "After this good news that I have announced, the second great news begins, which is the conquest of the Jurchen in China, it is for them to prepare horses and soldiers, we go by land, riches and women."

Everyone was excited, after hearing this news, they are nomads and need looting to be able to have wealth, that's why they have joined Genghis Khan, but they are also afraid of this man.

As a banquet began with different types of food but they took me out of the tent, but from what I could hear and see their expressions, I could conclude that they did not reject or hate me, that can be evidenced that my older brother is to say Jochi as his birth is in doubt so he has no reason to do it, the third Ogodei brother is quite clever to know what Genghis Khan wants, as long as my father does not say anything he will not take the initiative, on the other hand, Tolui will not interested, since it is better to have someone below than to be in your head, but Chagatai, although he respects his father, is quite stubborn and bellicose and says things without thinking, a reckless man could be said, but the truth is he does not reject me since he has no reason to do so and even many people behind them even fools know that no man can approach Borte in a private place, much less if Genghis Khan is in the city since in late 1209 he finished he campaign against xi-xia, and they knew that in early spring Genghis khan and Borte had a night, it is only because of the eyes that rejected each other, but after an explanation from the Great khan they remembered the light of the moon, then the howl of the wolf that sounded, things connected and they could only congratulate for being a gift from god.

Altan had already reached the place where his mother Borte was, he did not understand what years we were in, but after knowing that a war against the Jurchen is approaching, even the little preparation he has, since one of Genghis Khan's tactics, was looting what they attacked, to make the populations surrender they did is instilling fear by annihilating entire populations.

Altan was thinking that it would be quite good to learn languages ​​other than Mongolian, since he feels that I am more intelligent, I really don't know what the benefit is, of being reborn, or is there any effect, but learning would be quite satisfying, and also knowing that In addition to being intelligent, what other benefits are there, because he grew up with a young soul from the past life, being in a fetal state, receiving the creation of a new life.

While Altan was thinking about what to do with his life in the future, the Mughals had already warned and the news had spread and the Xi-xia and the Jurchen had found out and were preparing for battle.

Months later, at the beginning of spring in Asia, the Mongols enlisted and went to their vassals, attacked from their allies the Xi-Xia, to get past the Great Wall of China, while advancing any population that opposed them were massacred, regardless of their ages. , your status, or your sexual orientation.

This led to great fear since before they only looted, then with this strategy they annexed and conquered populations that joined them.

Genghis Khan was in a tent near the capital and his general had sent Belgutei to negotiate his surrender, because one of the Great Khan's dreams was to put all ethnic groups and religions in a single state of power.

Qasar: "Great khan, we have conquered the surrounding villages, during these months according to the spies the temuge troops are summoning Taiyuan in Shaanxi province, the second report is that Belgutei has received the nominal surrender of zhongdu where xuanzong is located. "

Genghis Khan:" that's great, we have conquered 10 cities in just a few months, I hope that next year we will destroy and conquer the jurchen, prepare to continue. "

The generals and lieutenants who were in the tent: "yes Great Khan"

(In the Mongol Empire Genghis Khan wanted meritocracy more than as opposed to the old system of inheritance through the family, and this was the military rank he created in decimal form arbans (10 people), zuuns (100), mingghans (1,000) and tumens (10,000).)

While Genghis Khan was on his way to the capital of the Jurchen, news of the emperor's escape reached him.

Genghis Khan: "Can someone tell me what is happening, it was not that he gave up, this is a betrayal, I order that they eliminate all those who are related to that family" Genghis Khan was really angry, what he hated the most were those who rebelling against him with a single roar woke up these people who began to break out in a cold sweat hoping that they could catch this emperor alive or bring good news.

Belgutei: "Great khan calm your anger, although this is bad news, I also have good news" Belgutei was worried, since he acted as a messenger and he expected a great merit if he could get this dynasty without any more problems, but he did not expect that this emperor were so weak and incompetent that he ran away, he thought that when he found him again he would show him that it was better to surrender than to resist.

Everyone in the tent paid attention to this good news

Genghis Khan: "I hope so because this is your fault and don't blame me for not recognizing you"

Belgutei: "Yes, some of the Khitan warriors who were in the Juchen army surrendered and not only did we increase our numbers, but there was also a general who had a book on siege tools against fortified cities."

Everyone in the tent was excited, even Genghis Khan, since one of his weaknesses was destroying heavily walled cities and fortresses, with this knowledge he will be able to conquer even faster.

Genghis Khan with a voice that changes from being cold and angry to a little happy and enthusiastic before: "you did well, merits and demerits are calculated and I forgive you for the above, now I order you to invite craftsmen and prepare to attack zhongdu, and all the wealth belongs to whoever takes it first, also don't forget to pay tribute hahaha"

While everything was being prepared, the leader of the Naimans and Merkites were preparing a conspiracy.
