Usurping the Mongols: My Father-in-Law is Genghis Khan

“Welcome Genghis Khan!”

Zhao Shuo led the way, followed closely by Hoerchi and Huduhe, and then ten thousand Mongolian officers and soldiers. Everyone lined up on the shore of Lake Baikal to welcome Temujin's arrival.

Not far behind them were the captured Tumut people, bound together, including men, women, children, and the elderly, totaling over ten thousand. About two thousand Mongolian soldiers, with bows strung and knives drawn, stood guard to prevent any disturbances from the Tumut people.

“Humph!”

Temujin did not excuse everyone from the formalities, but snorted coldly, dismounted his horse, and picked up his riding whip.

Then, without saying a word, he lashed out at Hoerchi!

Hoerchi buried his head in the dirt in shame, not uttering a sound, letting Temujin whip him fiercely.

Only after twenty or thirty lashes, when Hoerchi was almost beaten unconscious, did Temujin stop.

Whoosh~~

“You… you're still letting me pick beauties?”

“Nonsense!”

Temujin glared at Hoerchi unhappily, and said, “My Temujin keeps his word. How could I discount what I promised you? However, there won't be a next time! If you cause any more trouble, I'll lock you up and let your son lead the Wanhu! Those thirty beauties will also belong to your son!”

To be honest, Temujin was quite troubled about how to deal with Hoerchi.

Should Hoerchi die? He should!

Considering the great disaster he had caused, even a hundred heads wouldn't be enough to be chopped off.

However, compared to Hoerchi's little life, Temujin valued his political promises more.

The Mongolian Empire had just been established, and various systems had not yet deeply rooted in people's hearts. If Temujin said hereditary Qianhu, would it really be hereditary? If he granted Wanhu and said that nine crimes would be forgiven, would it really count? No one could be completely sure.

Keeping Hoerchi was to set an example for the meritorious officials.

Hoerchi had made such a big mistake, but Temujin could still be lenient, not only not touching his Wanhu position, but also letting him choose thirty beauties as usual. What about others?

The old brothers could rest assured that the boss's words counted. The Great Mongolian Empire would certainly share wealth and honor with everyone.

“Yes, yes, yes. Thank you, Genghis Khan, for your great kindness!”

Hoerchi finally relaxed and prepared to grin and pick his beauties.

Temujin's heart stirred, and he said, “Remember, you can pick anyone else. You can't pick Mrs. Tarhun. That's a captive Zhao Shuo personally captured, and it must be given to Zhao Shuo.”

“Understood, understood. Even if Genghis Khan didn't say it, I wouldn't dare to have any designs on that woman.” Hoerchi said with lingering fear.

Then, Temujin's expression softened, and he ordered everyone to be excused from the formalities.

Then, Temujin personally presided over the distribution of the Tumut people's treasury and wealth.

Of course, necessary living supplies still had to be left for the Tumut people.

The Uteng Divine Bow and Tarhun were also officially bestowed upon Zhao Shuo.

Hoerchi also selected his thirty beauties.

Temujin added, “This time, in order to pacify the Tumut people, Huduhe was defeated, and Boerhu lost his life, which was really not easy. I plan to take one hundred households of Tumut people and let them serve Boerhu's family for generations. Also, Zhao Shuo, you have made the greatest contribution in this battle and should be given some special rewards. What do you want? Just say it.”

Zhao Shuo really had something he wanted, and said, “If possible, I want fifty households of Tumut people.”

“Fifty households of Tumut people, so few, what's the use?”

“Does Father Khan remember that when I was twelve years old, I served under you as a squad leader and participated in the revenge war against the Zuerqin people? At that time, it was us who wiped out the important sentry post of the Zuerqin tribe.”

“Yes, there was such a thing.”

Zhao Shuo said, “Actually, I had that idea at that time. To specially train a small-scale unit to perform special tasks. This unit does not need to be large, but it must be very elite. It can assassinate enemy generals, wipe out enemy sentry posts, burn enemy rear supplies, and eliminate traitors who defect to the enemy.

These people don't need to be specially trained in battlefield skills, but pay attention to stealth, climbing, traps, poisoning, sniping, and arson.

Originally, the grassland was unobstructed, and each tribe was independent, so it was difficult for outsiders to infiltrate. My idea has not been implemented.

But next, aren't we going to avenge the Jin Dynasty? This special force will be of great use.

I see that the Tumut people climb in the forest as if walking on flat ground, and are very good at sneak attacks, they are simply the best candidates.”

The newest and fastest novels are at Liu 9 Shu Ba!

The team Zhao Shuo was talking about was the special forces. Sometimes, a small but elite special forces can have miraculous effects.

Zhao Shuo hadn't thought about what to name this special forces, but that didn't affect him from selecting elite warriors in advance.

“Good! Good! Good!”

Temujin looked at Zhao Shuo, and then at the grinning Hoerchi, thinking, they are both my confidants, why is the difference so big?

He said happily, “Zhao Shuo is thinking of Mongolia everywhere, and always anticipates the enemy's moves. He is truly a role model for meritorious officials. Hoerchi, you should learn more from him!”

“Yes, yes, yes. The consort is not only a role model for meritorious officials, but also accomplished in both literary and military skills, a genius. I can't finish learning from him in my lifetime! Of course, the most wise and martial is the Great Khan, I can't finish learning from him in ten lifetimes!” Hoerchi tried his best to flatter Temujin and Zhao Shuo.

Temujin added, “However, fifty households are too few, what can they do? How about this, five hundred households! Hoerchi, let Zhao Shuo choose five hundred households from your forest people, what do you think?”

“It should be, it should be, I will personally take the consort to choose.”

What were five hundred households of Tumut people?

Hoerchi originally wanted to give all his family property to Zhao Shuo.

In fact, the main reason why Hoerchi made this big mistake was that Tarhun was too charming.

He is usually a very self-aware person. He knew that his fists were not hard enough, and his heart was not ruthless enough. Relying on his verbal skills to become a shaman of a small tribe was already the limit of what he could achieve.

It was just luck that he gave Temujin a prediction that he would become the Great Khan of Mongolia when he needed it most, and he rose to prominence in one step.

Temujin is nearly fifty years old, how many years does he have left to live?

Next, which thigh should he hug?

Temujin's four sons are all good, but it's really not clear which cloud has rain.

On the other hand, Temujin's son-in-law, the number one warrior of the grassland, Zhao Shuo, is sitting firmly on the fishing platform. Whoever becomes the new Great Khan must win him over. He is a very good thigh to hug.

Therefore, even without this life-saving grace, Hoerchi was prepared to curry favor with Zhao Shuo.

Not to mention now?
