Li Qin looked at the numerous Jurchen generals being held captive before him, took a riding whip from a servant beside him, walked up to them, and said:
“You are all old men who have followed my brother Li Jian for many years.”
Now that he has met with misfortune and is unconscious, you should be helping my nephew to avenge my brother Li Jian.
But how dare you bully my nephew, the son of your Khan!
Now that I am here, Wanyan Gun is your new Khan. Do you have anything else to say?
Faced with Li Qin's words, all the Jurchen generals present remained silent.
Seeing that they were all silent, Li Qin sneered and said:
"Fine, since you're not going to say anything now."
I'll take your agreement as my own; my nephew is now your new Khan.
At this moment, Wanyan Gun, who was standing behind Li Qin, suddenly felt a bad premonition after hearing Li Qin's words.
What does Li Qin mean by this?
Should we keep them?
I just tricked them so badly, they must be full of resentment towards me now.
His original plan was to take control of the Meng'an Mouke from their hands.
After concentrating military power in his own hands, he disposed of most of them.
They had all followed their father, Khan, for many years, and each of them held immense prestige in the army.
I simply can't control them.
Especially since he had used such despicable means to launch a coup in alliance with Li Qin and take control of them.
They then led Li Qin's foreign troops into the main camp.
This has already triggered great dissatisfaction among them.
If they were there, it would be absolutely impossible for me to have absolute control over these tens of thousands of Jurchen troops.
Moreover, their presence also poses a great threat to one's own rule.
Sure enough, what Li Qin said next completely shattered his hopes.
Li Qin, holding a riding whip, walked among them and continued speaking after looking at them:
"Since you all agree that my nephew should be the new Khan."
As long-time loyalists who have followed my brother Li Jian for many years, you must do your best to assist my nephew.
My nephew is still young. Although he will become the Great Khan in the future, his status will still need to be discussed with you.
From now on, my nephew, the Great Khan, will be in charge of overall command, while you generals will be responsible for deliberation and policy-making.
Upon hearing Li Qin's words, the Jurchen generals who had initially shown anger towards him immediately changed their expressions to shock.
The Jurchen generals who had been keeping their heads down looked up at Li Qin in surprise.
As for Wanyan Gun behind Li Qin, he closed his eyes in despair.
Li Qin's gaze swept over the many Jurchen generals in front of him, finally settling on the despairing Wanyan Gun.
He sneered inwardly, "How could I possibly let you completely control the Jurchen army as you wish?"
Like your father?
When you, like your father, have completely taken control of these tens of thousands of Jurchen troops.
How could you possibly listen to me?
He knew perfectly well how his father, Li Chengliang, had failed and how Wanyan Jian had lost control.
How could he possibly let something like this happen a second time?
Kid, do you think you can imitate your father, act like a grandson to gain trust, and then completely gain absolute control over these tens of thousands of Jurchen troops?
How could that be?
Our Li family stumbled because of your father, causing him to lose control.
How could I possibly stumble a second time in the same place and with the same methods?
Li Qin looked at the Jurchen generals in front of him.
Looking at Wanyan Gun, he said, "From now on, you'll have these elders who have followed your father for many years and have great prestige in the army."
With their division of power and checks and balances, you want to completely control the army and secure your position as the Great Khan.
I can only rely on myself.
Only by relying on himself and his army to support him can he secure his position as Khan.
Otherwise, without his own support, his position as Khan, which he had seized through a coup, would immediately become precarious.
Li Qin looked at the despairing Wanyan Gun, and said with a smile:
"Nephew, are you satisfied with your uncle's arrangement, having these experienced elders assist you?"
Faced with Li Qin's smiling question and his arrangements.
Wanyan Gun felt no warmth at all; instead, he felt a bone-chilling cold, like the dead of winter.
However, given his current situation, he cannot raise any objections.
Because he knew that if he dared to say no...
Just as he climbed to the Khan's position, Li Qin could pull him down in the same way.
Faced with Li Qin's arrangement, he could only grit his teeth and force a smile as he said:
"Uncle's arrangements are very thoughtful, and I am very satisfied."
Li Qin sneered inwardly upon hearing Wanyan Gun's insincere words.
Then Li Qin waved his hand again, calling out a few people from his entourage. He first pointed to the person dressed in Confucian robes and said:
"This man is Han Mingyuan, one of my many advisors. He is knowledgeable about strategy and military tactics."
"Nephew, you can consult him on anything, big or small, from now on."
Wanyan Gun looked at Han Mingyuan in front of him, and the smile on his face became somewhat stiff.
Good heavens, having those Jurchen generals hinder him isn't enough.
They even sent an aide to interfere with his decision-making.
After introducing Han Mingyuan, Li Qin continued speaking to the remaining attendants:
"These are my attendants who take care of my daily life; they are very quick and efficient."
