Chapter 942: Across North America
Outside the tent, Ye Bushu stared at Yuetuo's tent with his right hand tightly. His right hand held the hilt and his bones were a little white, and his teeth were even creaking. Of course, he knew what was happening in the tent. His nominal mother was pleasing Yuetuo with her body in order to save his life. Of course, these were what Bumubutai said to him. With Ye Bushu's age, he could not tell whether what Bumubutai said was true or false. Every time Bumubutai said these things, he treated them as real. This humiliation made him so angry that he could hardly control himself. However, after a long time he let go of the hand holding the hilt and returned to his tent to sleep, because Bumubutai had told him that he would never show any hatred for Yuetuo before he grew up and took control of the Eight Banners.
"Master Beile, since you have planned to settle down here, you should call him a sweat." Bumubutai didn't know that Ye Bushu was outside. She thought for a while and said, "The old saying goes: If the name is not right, the words are not right. When you lead us to avoid the pursuit of the Ming army, everyone was determined to save their lives and had no other ideas. So it is enough for you to command them with the name of Beile. But now that you have got rid of the Ming army and have found such a good place, it is not enough if you continue to use the name of Beile, so as not to have any other intentions. You should call him a sweat as soon as possible."
"I? Be a big knight?" Yue Tou said in surprise. In fact, he had thought about this in his heart for a long time. He did not mention it early because of his concerns about Bumubutai and Ye Bushu. He even regretted why he worked so hard when Ye Bushu was sick. How great would it be if he died of illness halfway through the road like Shuosai.
"You don't have to worry about Ye Bushu. After all, he is just the concubine's son of Da Khan, and you are the son of Lao Khan and Da Khan's brother. From the distance and near, you are more qualified to call him Khan." Bumubutai had long discovered that Yuetuo's eyes recently looked at Ye Bushu, which gradually became more indescribable. Instead of letting him kill Ye Bushu and call him Khan again, it would be better to stand up and show his support. This might also save his and Ye Bushu's lives.
"And even if you recite the instructions of the Khan, you are determined to make Ye Bushu call him Khan, are your soldiers willing to agree? They believe you or Ye Bushu more? Now it is an extraordinary period, and the Eight Banners need a Khan who is good at fighting and is highly anticipated to lead them, rather than a child who is still young." Bumubutai continued to persuade.
After some persuasion, Yuetuo finally responded to the matter. On the second day, Ye Bushu, who received Bumubutai's instructions, took the initiative to stand up and ask Yuetuo to call him Khan as soon as possible. Yuetuo's confidants supported him after hearing this. Yuetuo gave in three consecutive times and made a full gesture. In the end, his subordinates forced him to press him on the throne of Khan.
Yue Tuo immediately came up with a plan that had been prepared long ago and began to enthrone the new banner masters of the Eight Banners. Among them, the upper three banners were under his own command. The remaining five banners were given to his confidants. Finally, the Zhengbai Banner was sealed to Ye Bushu to show that he did not forget the kindness of Huang Taiji and to win over the stubborn elements who were still loyal to Huang Taiji.
"In the past, the Khan trained the Eight Banners of Mongolia in Liaodong and planned to establish the Eight Banners of the Han army to solve the problem of the small number of Dingkou of our Eight Banners. Now that we have arrived here, although our Eight Banners still have nearly 5,000, it would be good to be able to gain a foothold here with our own troops alone. If we want to expand outward and reappear our Eight Banners, we must expand our troops." Now there are only such people left in the Eight Banners of Manchuria. Maybe they can protect themselves. If you want to make a career, you must include the local Indian natives under the rule. This is also a problem that Jiannu faced since his beginning. Yuetuo and these Eight Banners generals have already accumulated enough experience.
So this decision was quickly passed. In order to encourage them to expand outward, Yuetuo ordered that all the flags that were plundered were divided equally with Gongzhong. In other words, if the flag was captured by a thousand Indian young men, they could leave five hundred people, and the other five hundred people were handed over to Yuetuo, and Yuetuo would be distributed. This not only took into account the expansion desire of the Eight Banners, but it would not make the flag dominant. Yuetuo could still check and balance them.
So many banner owners and Jiala Ezhen focused on how to expand their strength, and did not much obstruct the fact that Yuetuo enthroned Bumubutai as his concubine. Anyway, such things happened a lot on the Mongolian grasslands, and secondly, there are no women in the army who can be worthy of Yuetuo. In comparison, Bumubutai seems to have become the best choice. Only Ye Bushu was stunned by the news, but he did not even control his own men in the White Banner. Faced with such a thing, he could not and dared to say anything more, and had to congratulate Yuetuo and Bumubutai like others.
Before the settlement of the Eight Banners had been completed, they immediately began to expand outward. The craftsmen of the army led a large number of young men to mine the mountains, smelted a furnace of iron ingots, and then made these rough iron ingots into various weapons. These weapons were far inferior to the weapons used by the Ming army, but they were more than enough to deal with these Indian natives.
Moreover, these Indians also had a huge gap with the Eight Banners in their marching and fighting strategies. So the Eight Banners were invincible on this land and were invincible. They captured a large number of Dingkou, and forced these people to cut their hair and shave their heads, learn the Jurchen language and writing, put them under their own rule, and then used these people to attack other tribes.
It's like a hungry wolf suddenly came from the flock. None of the Indian tribes around them was the opponent of the Eight Banners. In a short period of time, Yuetuo's troops grew to hundreds of thousands, and formed a Jurchen dominance. The first surrendered tribe and the ruling class caused a huge storm on the North American continent.
At this time, Yue Tuo was no longer as anxious as he ran away. Instead, he was secretly happy for his wise choice. If not for this, how could he have his current status? Bumubutai prayed to countless gods and Buddhas in the palace, praying that she could leave a child for Yue Tuo so that she could maintain her status.
Ye Bushu led the troops of Zhengbai Banner to fight everywhere, trying to cultivate his own power in case of Yuetuo's revenge in the future, and the entire North American continent was in chaos.
