Chapter 467 Marriage
Yuan Chonghuan felt a little regretful at this time. If he had known this would be the result, he should not have killed Mao Wenlong. Now, although Mao Wenlong was killed and Dongjiang Town was under his control, there were problems everywhere in Dongjiang Town after Mao Wenlong's death. Instead of bringing him any benefits, it brought him a lot of trouble.

In desperation, Yuan Chonghuan had the idea of ​​giving up Dongjiang Town. Since Dongjiang Town was now a piece of chicken ribs, it was useless to hold it in his hands, so it would be better to throw it away as soon as possible.

In this way, Yuan Chonghuan wrote to Emperor Chongzhen, saying that Dongjiang Town must be without a general, and the court should appoint a new general to lead Dongjiang Town as soon as possible. Emperor Chongzhen agreed to this request after asking other ministers for their opinions, and then asked Yuan Chonghuan if he had anyone to recommend. Yuan Chonghuan replied that he recommended Huang Long, the deputy general of Jinzhou, to serve as the general to lead Dongjiang Town.

This suggestion was approved by Emperor Chongzhen, and an order was soon issued to promote Huang Long, deputy general of Jinzhou, to the rank of general and in charge of Dongjiang Town. Upon receiving the order, Huang Long did not go to Pi Island to take up his post immediately, but went to Ningyuan to meet Yuan Chonghuan first. Yuan Chonghuan and Huang Long talked behind closed doors for several hours. The next day, Huang Long left Ningyuan, boarded a ship from Juehua Island and headed for Pi Island.

On the day when Huang Long landed on Pi Island, Zhu Shenzui happened to arrive at Guihua City.

After replacing Bu Shitu, Tengger obtained the title of King of Shunyi under the operation of Zhu Shenzui, thus becoming the nominal master of Tumed Grassland.

But it is not so easy to control the entire Tumed grassland. You must know that during the period of Bu Shitu, he was only the nominal leader of Tumed and did not truly unify Tumed. Moreover, there were several powerful tribes among the Tumed. Even if Bu Shitu used force, he did not have the ability to absolutely suppress all the tribes.

But the Tenger tribe was different, and Zhu Shenzui was not Bu Shitu. After taking over Guihua City and annexing Bu Shitu's tribe, the strength of the Tenger tribe was further enhanced, and now it is the most powerful tribe in Tumed.

What's more, Tengger also has the title of King of Shunyi, and Guihua City is also in the hands of Zhu Shenzui. From both the military and political perspectives, he, the leader of Tumed, is much more worthy of the title than Bu Shitu.

The only thing that is inferior to him is that Tenger does not have the blood of the Golden Family. Since Genghis Khan, the status of the Golden Family on the grassland has been unmatched. The Khans or overlords of the grasslands in history all came from the Golden Family. This has become a consensus among all Mongolians. So from this point of view, even if Tenger subdued the Tumed tribes, it would still be insufficient in terms of legal identity.

But this problem is not difficult to solve, at least it is not a big problem for Zhu Shenzhui. He thought about this soon after returning to Guihua City. After asking someone, Zhu Shenzhui told Tana something that day. After hearing Zhu Shenzhui's thoughts, Tana was a little stunned for a while.

"What? You don't agree?"

“Of course not, I just feel... I feel..." Tana smiled and shook her head. Her son was only a few years old and he still had many years to go before he became an adult. Right now, he was just a teenager, but Zhu Shenzui, as a father, made such a decision for him directly.

Although this decision is a good thing for Tenger and has long-term benefits for the entire tribe, as the child's mother, Tana still feels a little guilty. After all, she and Zhu Shenzui made a decision that would affect the child's life before he grew up and had no independent thoughts. She doesn't know whether Tenger will blame him when he grows up.

"He is not only our child, but also the master of the tribe, the current King of Shunyi, the Lord of Tumed, and the Jurhan of the grassland!" Zhu Shenzhui said solemnly, "If it was a child from an ordinary family, we would naturally let the child make his own choice in the future, but he is different. For the sake of the overall situation and the future, we have no choice but to let him down. When he grows up, he will understand our painstaking efforts, and this is also a good thing for him."

"Well, I understand. Actually, I have no objection. I'm just worried that he will think too much about it in the future..." Tana nodded. She herself is the daughter of the tribal taiji, so of course she knows that what her husband said is right. People like Tengger have extraordinary backgrounds, and the tribe can reach this point today. Some things are not their own choice. As the leader, he must make certain sacrifices. This is his responsibility and his obligation.

"Okay! This is settled. You talk to the child properly. I believe our son is a sensible child. As for the rest, I will arrange it."

After instructing Tana like this, Zhu Shencui finalized the matter. That night, Tana told Tengger about her and Zhu Shencui's arrangement. Although the young Tengger was already somewhat sensible, he was still confused about what his mother said and had no idea what it meant to him.

However, after hearing Tana's story, Tengger did not have the idea of ​​refusing. On the contrary, when he learned that he would have a sister two years younger than him, Tengger was very happy. Although Tengger had his own brother, this brother really gave Tengger a headache. When he was still breastfeeding, he was very domineering. Now that he can walk and run, he is even more naughty. Every day, he either pesters Tengger for this and that, or he is naughty and breaks Tengger's things. Tengger is so angry that he wants to whip his brother severely, but this little guy is good. When he sees that something is wrong, he runs to his mother, and while running, he yells for his big brother to beat him, which makes Tengger hate him.

How could Tengger like such a younger brother? Many times, Tengger even thought that his parents should not have given birth to his younger brother. It would have been much better if they had a younger sister. As the eldest brother, he would definitely love a pretty, soft and cute younger sister very much. How could he hate this little devil like his younger brother?
Just like that, Tengger, who had no idea that he had made a huge decision in his life, agreed to it in a daze. Children are really easy to deceive. As a father, Zhu Shenzhui "sold" his eldest son and then turned around to make arrangements.

A few days later, a grand wedding was held in Guihua City. One of the protagonists of the wedding was naturally the King of Shunyi, Jurhan, the nominal leader of the Tumed, Tenger. The other protagonist was also not an ordinary person. She was Bushitu’s youngest daughter, Borjigin Sayin Zhuola, who was one month younger than Agudamu.

The biological mother of this little girl was not one of Bu Shitu's wives, but just his maid. After giving birth to Sayin Zhuola, her status did not change at all. After all, in the eyes of the Mongols, women were just tools, even daughters were the same. At best, they were raised like this and could be married off after they grew up. The Mongols then used their daughters to win over other tribal leaders or generals.

If nothing unexpected had happened, Sayinzhuola would have spent her life like this, just like her sisters, aunts and even earlier elders, no one knew where she would marry in the future, and then she would live out her life in obscurity.

But because the Tenger tribe replaced Bu Shitu after his death, Sayin Zhuola's life trajectory changed. At the beginning, she was not taken seriously like other members of Bu Shitu's family. After all, a woman could not play any role, not to mention that she was an ignorant child.

Except for Bu Shitu's son Omubu and several other male members who were controlled and restricted in their freedom, the treatment towards Bu Shitu's wives, concubines and daughters was relatively relaxed, and they were not even lacking in treatment. After Bu Shitu's death, Zhu Shenzui not only did not make things difficult for these women and children, but also made proper arrangements for them.

Now Zhu Shenzui, for the sake of his son, must solve the problem of non-Golden Family members. After much thought, he decided to solve the problem with the girl Saiyin Zhuola.

First of all, Sayin Zhuola is the daughter of Bushitu and has the blood of the Golden Family. If Tenger marries Sayin Zhuola, then from the Mongolian perspective, Tenger will become half a member of the Golden Family.

Secondly, when the two children grow up, it won't take a few years for them to get married. If they give birth to a son, he can directly borrow Borjigin's surname and become a member of the Golden Family.

By this time, Zhu Shenzui's descendants on the grassland had merged with the Golden Family, and even replaced it.

This approach is not without precedent in history and is currently the best approach.

As for what Bu Shitu's sons think, Zhu Shencui doesn't need to consider it at all. Their life and death are in his hands. If they are obedient, what's the problem with giving them a lifetime of wealth? If they have other intentions, then don't blame Zhu Shencui for being rude. It is a piece of cake for Zhu Shencui to let them go to see Changshengtian without any notice.

The wedding of Tenger and Sayin Zhuola was very grand, and everything was conducted according to Mongolian etiquette. The two children, dressed in gorgeous clothes and dressed solemnly, got married without knowing what was going on.

After the ceremony, the two children, who were already officially married, walked into the palace hand in hand. But forget about the bridal chamber, they are still young, even the older Tenger is not yet fertile. More importantly, for the sake of his son's future, Zhu Shenzui would not allow his son to do such a thing when he is a little older. This is not the way to longevity. At the very least, he has to wait until his son is sixteen years old.

So although the two children are husband and wife, they cannot be husband and wife in reality, and they don’t have the ability to do so now. But even so, with their marriage, Tengger’s status in Tumed has also changed. Some tribes that originally criticized Tengger for not being a member of the Golden Family have acquiesced to this arrangement. Of course, there are also people who are dissatisfied, but these people can’t turn the tables. This time Zhu Shenzhu returned to the grassland not only to let his son take the position firmly, but also to free up his hands to clean up the Tumed. In addition, he also prepared for war and was always alert to the possibility of Lin Danhan, who had fled to Qinghai, making a comeback.
