Sun Chuanyu couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw Nikan was shocked, "Do you know the head of the family?"

Nikan quickly calmed down and said, "Of course I don't know, but I didn't expect that he wasn't my uncle."

Sun Chuanyu said sternly: "Our Sun family in Daizhou was originally one of the hundred families established by the imperial court in Daizhou in the early Ming Dynasty. The Chuanting branch was the direct branch of the eldest branch. Your family is also the direct branch, but it is the second branch.

, my branch is further away, and is descended from concubines."

"Chuanting was awarded the Jinshi title when he was more than 20 years old. He was the first Jinshi in the Sun family. The highest official position was a doctor in the capital's official department. Unfortunately, he was upright by nature and hated power eunuchs. He resigned and returned home. Now he is idle at home.

Been there for several years”

"Then he also came to Kyaktu?"

"Exactly, he is both civil and military, and he likes to observe the situation outside the Great Wall. He has been here several times with your uncle."

After burying the body of the dead horse thief, Nikan knelt down on one knee to Sun Chuanyu.

Sun Chuanyu helped him up, "I know what you are thinking, but we have to wait until the head of the family speaks."

Nikan was still a little worried in his heart. Is this Sun Chuanting the same as the other Sun Chuanting?

…

After the brigade had traveled more than thirty miles, the banks of the Chuku River gradually widened, and there were more tents common to the Mongols. At this time, Nikan's team had already started fighting.

The triangular yellow flag that came was embroidered with a Mongolian temple pattern.

With this small flag, you will not be greatly harassed when passing by the Mongolian tribes.

"You are here just in time. Now the three tribes in Khalkha believe in the Buddhism declared by the living Buddha Wenduer Kudzu who came from Uzbek, also known as Jebtsundamba. Most of the three tribes have joined his sect, but there are still some in the north.

There are a small number of tribes, such as the Kle tribe and all the Buryat Mongols who still believe in shamanism."

"Jebu Zundampa brought his disciples to the Kelei tribe and has been giving lectures on the scriptures for the past few days."

Nikan's eyes lit up, "Uncle, how many people are there in the Klei tribe?"

"About more than 1,600 tribes. It is said that after being defeated by Temujin's tribe, most of them integrated into his tribe, but a few people still fled to the forest. After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols fell apart, and the Klei tribe also

They appeared under the banner of their ancestors and occupied the middle reaches of the Chukwu River, but in name they were still vassal to Tushetu Khan."

"Kreibe?"

"Haha, they are a Mongolian tribe that speaks Turkic language"

A few days later, in a place called Red Chikoy, Nikan and the others saw a large number of tents. In front of the largest tent, stood a high platform made of wood. A man wearing a yellow, red, and blue

A woven lama hat with an old monk wearing yellow and red robes sitting cross-legged on it.

There were about a few hundred Mongolians sitting under the high platform. However, judging from their attire and appearance, these people were slightly different from ordinary Mongolians, but somewhat similar to the Angara tribe. They wore pointed sheepskin hats and short sheepskin robes.

"These are the leaders of the Kled tribe"

Sun Chuanyu on the side said softly.

Although Nikan and his team were flying the small flag issued by the Tushetu Khan Ministry and put away most of their eye-catching weapons, the number of more than 200 people still made the Klei tribe feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.

They breathed a sigh of relief when the Gentemul Khan of Chita sent people to Kyakhta for trade.

However, Nikan discovered a detail. These Mongolians from the Kelei tribe did not seem to be happy with the arrival of the living Buddha. They were forced to crawl on the old ground under the coercion of their great khan, a tall man in his thirties.

in front of the monk.

The man had a high nose and deep eyes, and he clearly looked like a Turk. He was kneeling at the front of the team.

Not wanting to cause trouble, Nikan and the others quickly left Red Chikoi with their team. Not long after they left the place where a large number of tents were gathered, five or six riders came after them.

"Who is Bogra Khan?"

I saw a Mongolian man whose chest was covered with common magic tools of Sauron people shouting loudly. He was holding an ox leg bone in his hand, which was also a common magic tool of shamans in the forest.

Nikan's mind was spinning, and he finally decided to stand up. He thought that although he was using the banner of Ghentmur, almost half a year had passed since the Battle of Nerchinsk, and the final result was probably known to the Klei tribe.

Rather than hiding it, it's better to take the initiative and make friends.

"That's me." Under the dissuasion of Alina and others, Nikan rode out.

The man looked at Nikan, then at the people next to him, and bowed his hands on the horse, "Great Khan, I am Taiji Subutai of the Kele tribe, and I am also the great shaman of this tribe."

"I've admired you for a long time," Nikan replied in a nonchalant manner.

The man didn't take it seriously, "Just now the Dharma King was preaching, I couldn't do anything tampering, so I still took the time to run out."

Nikan said: "How did the great shaman know that our party came from Chita?"

The man smiled and said: "The news about Nerchinsk's war has long been spread here, not to mention that most of the people around the Great Khan are young heroes. They are somewhat similar to the legendary... ahem, I guess this must be...

Bogra Khan of Chita is here”

"Then what is Dasha satisfied with?"

"Great Khan, don't be offended. Think about it, how can I, a shaman who believes in the Immortal Heaven, stay under the throne of the Great Dharma King? The power of the Great Khan has spread to the Selenge River area. I just want to see you.

It’s just a first sight”

Nikan nodded, thought about it, and handed over a one-handed sword beside him, "This is our first meeting, so please accept some gifts."

The man took the horizontal sword, took it out of the scabbard, looked at it, and said nothing. The two parties exchanged a few words and left.

On the way, Ulji complained: "Nikan, if the people from the Kele tribe informed Tushetu Khan, I'm afraid..."

Nikan waved his hand, "Don't be afraid, just don't show up next time."

After meeting Subutai, Nikan had a vague plan in his mind, but it was not convenient to say it now.

Along the way, we passed near the tents of the Kle tribe. Nikan discovered that except for the two or three hundred people kneeling under the throne of the Dharma, the ordinary herdsmen still looked like normal Mongolians. It was probably because the leaders adhered to certain rules.

Through marriage under the rule of law, ordinary herders have long been the same as other Mongolians.

A few days later, when everyone walked out of the narrow valley of the Chukwu River, their eyes suddenly lit up.

"Nikan, this is the Kudala Prairie next to Kyaktu. It is also occupied by a tribe of Kled. However, I heard that this Kled tribe has long been integrated into the Mongols. The leaders

His appearance is almost the same as that of ordinary Mongolians. There are more than a thousand tents on the prairie, including the remnants of Tushetu Khan, and Dadaiji is his brother-in-law."

Sure enough, in a place with the most tents in the Chukku River, there was built a typical Mongolian style temple that Nikan saw on the grasslands in later generations. It is obvious that this place has been included in the missionary scope of the Living Buddha Jebtsundamba.

Seeing Nikan riding over two hundred people, there were also over three hundred riding over from the opposite side. The leader was a majestic Khan riding a short Mongolian horse. Nikan was a little worried that he would crush the horse.

Already.

At this time, Ulji came forward. Hearing that he was a Sauron who went to Kyaktu to trade, the big man looked at him coldly.

"Trade? Why do you bring so many people?"

"Sir, we have come from Chita. We have traveled thousands of miles and come here only once. Naturally, we need to bring more people and buy more goods."

After saying that, he handed over five pieces of leather as Nikan had ordered before - if he directly took out the gold and silver at this time, the other party would definitely be suspicious.

"Bang!" Unexpectedly, the man knocked down the five bundled leathers to the ground with a whip.

"Hmph! You are so brave, how dare you provoke the Mongols! Let me tell you, wait, I have just received an order from Dadaiji. All the Sauron people who come from the west along the Chukwu River, no matter how many people and horses, carry with them the goods

Everyone will take 10%!”

"ah?!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard that this was one of the consequences of Nikan and his team's defeat of Mao Ming'an. Nikan thought for a moment, the key now is to reach Kyaktu smoothly, and there is no need to cause troubles here.

"Sir," he rode out, "what about when I come back?"

"Do the same!"

"Ah?!", there was another buzzing sound all around. Nikan looked back and saw that everyone had angry looks on their faces. He quickly signaled to Ulji, who had no choice but to raise his left hand.

Stopped everyone's whispers.

"Sir, it's up to you."

After Nikan left 300 skins and left, he saw that he was far away from the tent group. Everyone cursed loudly, and Ulji also came over and asked Nikan: "Do you really want to take another 10% later?

"

Nikan nodded, "10%, 10%, just give them more iron pots, coarse salt and other things."

When Nikan and the others picked up the goods just now, the Mongolians didn't look at them carefully. He thought it would be the same on the way back. The key was that he already had a plan in his mind. If he wanted to implement that plan, he would have to go back the same way.

However, after this twists and turns, Nikan became more determined to unify all the tribes in the Mobei Forest.

Living in the forest, it is easy to obey the Mongols' arrangements honestly. If you are a little rebellious, you will be blocked everywhere. Unless you are strong enough, you can only obey them.

"They are both descendants of the Kled tribe, so why are the two tribes so different?"

Nikan couldn't help but talk to himself along the way. Sun Chuanyu beside him smiled and said: "That's normal. In the past, Wang Han of the Kele tribe was Temujin's adoptive father. Things in the world are unpredictable. I won't talk about it from afar. You guys

Aren’t the Saurons divided into two parts?”

Nikan asked again: "Uncle, are all the Kle people Mongolian?"

Sun Chuanyu shook his head, "How is that possible? The Kele tribe is just a banner. There may be a small number of descendants of the former Wang Han, but only God knows how many there are now. Most of them have absorbed the surrounding Buryatia, so

It is a mixture of Lun, Yakut and other ethnic groups. The real Mongolian headquarters is naturally in the Khalkha region."

"Then that place just now is where the Klei people's platform is."

"Yes, that big man is Taiji's brother-in-law, named Ha'erhun. This man is actually a Sauron. His sister married Taiji and became a concubine, and now he is showing off his power."

"How many people are there in this place?"

"Not many, if all are dispatched, the maximum is 500 cavalry."
