rebellion of the Merkitas

In the qara-kitai khanate after kuchlug usurped the power of this khanate, he was preparing to attack the mongols and obtain the title of Great Khan so he sent to contact kodu to prepare a rebellion.

In the west of the Mongol Empire, there was a messenger from Kuchlug and Kodu, negotiating, while Genghis Khan had been at war with the Jurchen for more than a year, from 2211 to 2213 this great man has been absent.

Kodu: "jum, tell me what benefits I have for revealing myself, you know that if Genghis Khan fails, it will kill all of my tribe"

Messenger: "Don't worry, our lord is now in power and he was raising an army, if you do it well you can have much more power than you have now, even riches than being among the last in status now"

Kodu was being tempted, but he knew that once he takes the bait he has to do everything possible also now Genghis khan is busy not only with lis jurchen, but with nomadic tribes that are in the north this could be a success, even the qara -kitai further increases your chances.

Kodu: "I accept"

Messenger: "wise choice, I hope you don't delay, this is a golden opportunity"

Kodu: "Okay after winter (in 1214 he started his rebellion) I will attack, I hope you prepare your troops, I think the Jurchen and the Tungusic."

Messenger: "Of course, then happy cooperation, my lord will reward you if you succeed."

Kodu: "hum, with this opportunity if I don't take it then I'll be a sheep"

After small agreements and other things, they reached an alliance.

Meanwhile, at the end of winter in Avarga, the Mongols continue with their daily lives, in a large tent, was Borte and his last son Altan.

Borte: "Altan, my son, I see that today you are distracted with your studies"

Borte said with a worried face, and although she loves all her children equally, but she feels more love for this intelligent child, she knows how to recognize some words and how to pronounce them, in addition to being able to walk without falling, filling her with pride.

"Mother, it's just that last night I thought the meadows were full of fire and that's why I'm worried"

When Altan finished telling and lying about a dream, the truth is that he did not know how to tell his mother that her dear son is a reborn soul from about 8 century ago.

But when I get bored I listen to his words, I take them very seriously because when a member of the family there is a possibility that it will be fulfilled, even if it is very small.

But when Borte wanted to reassure his son there were noises outside the cape, it is the first time that it happens because if someone else dared they would be punished by killing all of his family and related.

Borte then decided to go out to see who is so tired of living, but when Sali saw it was his personal imperial guard and knew that the event was not small so he decided to ask.

The guard spoke with a trembling voice and was afraid that he would be killed for interrupting, but it was necessary since this event could trigger a new civil war in the grasslands.

"Sorry to interrupt, but it was urgent. The Merkites have rebelled and have begun to hunt down our vassal tribes."

When the guard commented on what he knew and the news of the Merkite rebellion, Borte became even more angry since one of the things that Genghis Khan hated was the rebellion, and if he did not handle this situation well while he was going on an expedition, he could be killed. considered useless.

In addition to the fact that they have begun to kill the vassal tribes, which leaves the distrust of the family, they would put them in an unstable situation, then he ordered that they prepare to resist the cavalry of the Merkites, meanwhile he sent a messenger so that Genghis Khan could bring troops to put down this rebellion.

After these small events, news of the Merkite rebellion spread throughout the settlement, unsettled the minds and hearts of the people.

Borte returned to the tent to take care of his son, but after thinking about the dreams she decided to be more recurrent to prevent the meadows from bursting into flames.

While the Merkites were looking for the camps of the tribes to unite to remove Genghis Khan from the throne, the messenger arrived at the camp where Genghis Khan was staying to later conquer this great city, but when the messenger arrived and received the letter he made a roar of rage that made everyone start to tremble as he knew there must be a situation in the capital since they discovered that the messenger was from there and not from the informants from the front lines.

Then Genghis Khan the Great Khan gathered all the generals and his personal guard and talked about the situation that came to him when they learned that the Merkites had rebelled they knew why this great man was angry since he had conquered the entire capital of the Jurchen as well of the great riches he was obtaining.

After several ideas and plans to stop conquering the Jin dynasty of the Jurchen, they decided to leave a part to maintain the populations and prevent them from becoming rebellious in addition to defending the border since there were not enough troops to continue, but there were enough to defend.

Then Genghis Khan with most of the troops went to do something that you would remind all the tribes and ethnicities that it is the wrath of the great Khan.

When Genghis and company were going back, borte has never been a vase of vases, he ordered his guards who are the best warriors to command the troops that are in the capital and ordered all the tribes to unite with warriors to quell and fight against The Merkites, after the decree, although people did not like wars without benefits, did not dare to disobey since the news that Genghis Khan was approaching to fight against the rebellion, but what they did not know would happen next.
