Flourishing of the Ming Dynasty Novel - Chapter 20
Chapter 20 Grassland Public Enemy
Being swept by the pair of sharp wolf-like eyes above, the Mongolian man kneeling below felt his heart tremble. He lowered his head completely and didn’t even dare to breathe a single mouthful of air.
He had just told the story of what had happened in the Rahab tribe, and the crowd was cursing at him, but as the sturdy and dignified middle-aged man above him swept his gaze over, those voices quickly disappeared.
This middle-aged man with such might was naturally the Grand Master Wa La, who was now famous throughout the grasslands and even the monarchs and officials of the Central Plains Dynasty had heard of his name.
More than a decade ago, as the leader of the Tatars, his father Tuo Huan established the Tatar Monarch without sweat, giving Wa La the political capital to replace Tatars as the grassland lord.
One had to know that after experiencing hundreds of years of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the Meng people were no longer as ignorant as they used to be. Sometimes, they valued their bloodline more than the Han people. In the hearts of many grassland tribesmen, only the descendants of Genghis Khan, the so-called Golden Clan, were truly acceptable candidates for the grassland lord.
However, as a vassal of the Tatar Tribe in the past, Vara’s status was naturally very low. How could he have the bloodline of the Golden Family? Even though the Ming army’s decades-long northern expedition had caused the strength of both sides to rise and fall, in terms of orthodoxy, Wa La was still quite far from the Tatar Tribe, which was already dying in the west.
At that time, Tuo Huan had grasped an opportunity to turn the Tatar Tribe’s Golden Family bloodline into sweat, which was why the Tatar Tribe had gradually conquered the entire grassland. Moreover, the moves he used were the same as those officials in the history of the Central Plains, such as Cao Cao and Sima Zhao. They were all used to threaten Emperor to order the dukes.
Those who were even more skilled than his father succeeded him five years ago, calling themselves Grand Masters. As a result, the originally powerless Unspent Puppets were reduced to puppets and chess pieces in their hands. The power of the Wa La Tribe expanded rapidly in just a few years, and there were not many tribes on the grasslands that could contend against him now.
From his previous achievements, one could tell that he was not a reckless man who only knew how to succeed for a moment. On the contrary, he was a hero of a generation who was more proficient in controlling everything in his own hands and slowly annexing the entire grassland.
However, this did not mean that he did not have a temper. When he learned that not only did a small tribe like the Rahab Tribe refuse to listen to his summons, they even killed a few of the messengers sent over, the anger in his heart was only stronger than those of his subordinates.
However, he was the best at concealing his thoughts. Apart from the fierce light in his eyes, he could hardly see much on his face. After a long moment of silence, he turned his gaze to his surroundings and said, “What do you think of this?”
“Grand Master, since Rahab Clan is so ignorant, I am willing to bring my troops to capture them all in front of Grand Master!”
“Grand Master, that’s what I think.”
“They despise us so much. We need to let everyone know what the result is!” …
The originally silent tent suddenly boiled. Many rough-looking Mongolian warriors invited him to battle and swore an oath to exterminate Rahab Clan in order to vent their anger.
He didn’t express much to them and just listened quietly. It wasn’t until everyone calmed down that his gaze landed on the man beside him, whose figure and clothes were incompatible with those of his subordinates.
This person was only in his thirties. He was tall and thin, and his appearance was handsome. However, his face was a little pale. It was too inconspicuous amongst this large group of burly and majestic Mongolian men, but as they looked at him first, the others also looked at him.
This was a Han man wearing the beautiful clothes of a scholar from the Central Plains. However, everyone knew that he was highly valued by the Grand Master. Almost all important decisions were made after the Grand Master discussed with him.
At this moment, everyone held their breath and looked at this person. A smug smile appeared on this person’s face. This was the reason why he had to persevere despite the infamy behind him, even if he was no longer accustomed to everything on the grassland. Because he could display his ambition here first!
After pondering for a moment, this person said slowly in Mongolian, “Grand Master, it is a good idea for all of you to be wholehearted for the tribe. However, this matter is still a bit difficult for me to see.”
“What, does Mr. Kang think we can’t even deal with a mere Rahab Clan?” Someone frowned and asked unhappily.
“This is naturally impossible.” Mr. Kang shook his head without any hesitation, “With the current strength of a Grand Master, we really have to send out troops. Not to mention one, even ten or twenty Rahab Clan can only be killed with their hands tied. However … things are not as simple as that.”
“What do you mean?” She seemed to have thought of something and asked.
“Now that the Grassland Tribes already know the might of the Grand Master, wouldn’t the people of Rahab Clan know? Since they have offended the Grand Master so much, they will definitely be on guard. In my opinion, their only choice is to avoid other places, so that our people won’t be able to find them at all.” Mr. Kang analyzed.
Not only did he say this first, everyone below also revealed expressions of realization. Many people even nodded in agreement. Indeed, although Wa La might be extremely powerful now, its sphere of influence might not be able to completely cover the entire grassland. If Rahab Clan really did migrate and flee from their original encampment, it would really take some effort to find them.
After seeing that everyone was accepting his intention, Mr. Kang continued, “Of course, it is not too difficult for an Imperial Teacher to find them with the strength he currently possesses. However, it will take a lot of time and countless troops to be dispatched. I think this is extremely unwise.”
After pausing for a moment, he carefully sized it up and confirmed that the other party did not have any objections before continuing, “Grand Master, our greatest enemy is the Wuliang Harbin Tribe. The war between the two sides is about to start. If we are distracted at this moment, it will be very disadvantageous to this battle.”
‘”Mr. Kang is right. I think so too. It’s not worth it to go all out in a short amount of anger.” He smiled and said, “It’s not worth it.” He tried to persuade them from the perspective of the overall situation. “” Mr. Kang is right, I think so. ”
“Grand Master is wise.” Mr. Kang hurriedly cupped his hands and said.
Although the following people can understand this statement, they still find it difficult to accept the result: “Don’t tell me this is the end of the matter? We have never suffered such a great loss … Now that a small tribe like Rahab Clan dares to treat us so disrespectfully and even kill our messenger, then in the future …”
“Your Excellencies are also thinking about it. Such a precedent must not be set!” Mr. Kang immediately nodded in agreement, “So we must make them pay enough!”
Once these words were spoken, not to mention those people, even they had doubts on their faces. How could Mr. Kang’s words today be contradictory? He did not agree to send troops to crush them, and he said that the Rahab Tribe would pay the price. How could this be possible?
Mr Kang looked at everyone’s reaction and smiled, “Actually, the two of them are not contradictory. As long as we don’t personally attack them, we can do it.” As he said that, he turned to Ye Xian and said, “As long as Grand Master gives the order and orders to all the tribes of the grasslands to surround Rahab Clan and agree to destroy their tribes, the matter will naturally be accomplished. Furthermore, this way, we can test how many of the tribes of the grasslands are sincerely submissive and obedient to Grand Master’s orders.”
“Wonderful!” He immediately understood. The anger on his face had completely dissipated. He clapped his hands and praised. This was indeed a good idea to solve the current problem.
The others revealed expressions of sudden enlightenment after thinking for a moment, and their gazes at Mr. Kang were filled with respect. No wonder this fellow was able to become the chief counselor in front of the Grand Master. With his far-reaching plan and quick reaction, he was indeed much stronger than those fellows who only knew how to fight and kill.
Afterwards, he gave a serious order, “Then pass on my order and let the tribes of the grasslands kill Rahab Clan, regardless of whether they live or die. As long as I can bring the head of their tribe leader to me, I can reward all the wealth in his tribe to those who have made meritorious contributions!”
“Grand Master is wise!” Mr. Kang praised again.
However, many people still felt some pain. To their knowledge, the recent Rahab tribe was very wealthy, and that was why their family was interested in them. However, he didn’t expect it to end up like this. Not to mention the loss of manpower, there wasn’t any benefit.
But he didn’t see it that way first. Mr. Kang’s proposal was enough to let him see many things that he hadn’t known before. Compared to this, Rahab Clan’s little wealth was not worth mentioning at all.
Therefore, after finalizing the matter, he quickly pulled it out of Rahab Clan and began to talk about the issue he was most concerned about, “Then let’s talk about how to deal with the Wuliang Harbin Tribe …”

The Grand Master’s first order spread throughout the grasslands in a short period of time, and in a flash, the various tribes began to move. This was not only to show his loyalty to the Grand Master, but also to obtain tremendous benefits from this matter.
Even the Rahab Tribe, which had coveted it first, naturally viewed it as a piece of fat meat. Previously, everyone didn’t dare to move, but now that they had this order, things were completely different.
Very quickly, several groups of people rushed to their original encampment in Rahab Clan, only to discover that they had already moved elsewhere.
However, this did not have the determination to attack the various tribes. Soon, more tribes began to trace the whereabouts of the Rahab tribe. Even some small tribes that were far weaker than the Rahab tribes began to move.
Everyone knew that once they left their familiar encampment, the Mongolian people’s self-defense would be greatly reduced. This was the best opportunity to attack the Rahab Tribe!
