Haisheng Mingdi

Chapter 845
late at night.

Seng Ge sat in the tent and hadn't fallen asleep. He was half drunk, but still reading.This was a habit he had developed over the years as a guard of the Ming court. He would read books at night and then write a diary to summarize the next day.

At the beginning, he didn't like the fact that the guards had to learn Mandarin and Chinese characters in addition to their errands. It seemed that every guard didn't like to take culture classes, but this was a compulsory course for all soldiers of the Ming army, no matter whether it was Da Ming, South China Sea, North China, etc. The soldiers, and the children of the Tibetans who were the bodyguards of foreign vassals, had to learn the official dialect of Beijing, as well as Chinese characters.

It is a headache for a group of rough men with knives and sticks to learn this.

Now that he returned to the grassland, the habits formed in Ming could not be changed for a while.

"Sacrifice is the greatest contribution of a soldier, but not the greatest dedication of a soldier. The greatest dedication of a soldier is victory. The country raises soldiers, not to let you die at a critical moment."

He picked up a pen and wrote down this sentence in his diary. It was said by a general when he was training in the martial arts hall when he was in Beijing. the righteous hero.Sengge likes this old man very much, and he speaks very charmingly.

He didn't think this sentence was special before, but when his father Batur Khan died, he was named Boshuo Ketu Jinong and became the Deputy Khan of Junggar to lead the left wing, he really felt the meaning of this sentence Powerful and profound.

Looking at the powerful Chinese characters with iron and silver hooks on the paper, Seng Ge fell into deep thought.

In the twinkling of an eye, it has been half a year since he became Deputy Khan. He has been busy relocating various ministries, setting up pastures, appointing officials from the left-wing Twelve Governor's Mansions, and recruiting 3000 troops to form a Zhenxi Army. The Junggar left-wing new army purchased weapons and equipment from the Ming Dynasty. They had a cavalry army with camel cannons and firecrackers, and each rode five horses.

Invited to join the army and instructors from the Ming Dynasty, and there are two deputies at all levels in the Zhenxi Army who were invited from the imperial court, one civil and one military.

This Deputy Khan is not easy to be. His father died in battle, losing more than [-] troops, and then drew another [-] tents to Zaiya I, plus some Duerbert, Huite, and Jirijis who had previously belonged to Junggar The departure of people and some conquered Kazakh tribes caused the loss of [-] people in Junggar.

Sengge’s left-wing Twelve Governor’s Mansions still have about [-] tents. According to the imperial court’s decree, the boundaries of the pastures were set for the Twelve Dudu’s Mansions. Come and go, even conflicts.

In particular, uncle Mergen Khan Chuhuer and brother Zhuote Babatur deliberately condoned their subordinates to cross the border to provoke, and even sent people pretending to be Kazakhs or horse thieves to harass and plunder, causing a lot of trouble.

Taking advantage of the New Year, Seng Ge took the initiative to come to Chu Hu'er's tent to pay a visit.

I just want to clarify these things with this uncle face to face, and hope that he can let go of the past grievances and live in peace together. If this uncle continues like this, then he will fight back.

It’s just that after coming, the meeting was not very pleasant. Mergen Khan Chuhu’er deliberately put on a prestige and snubbed him, and his brother Zhuot Babatur also came to ridicule and ridicule him, and the protest he made was just pretending to be crazy and fooling around.

Butter candles flickered in the tent, and the north wind whistled outside.

He is now located in Chuhuer's Winter Khan Tent, on the west side of Tacheng, on the west bank of Ala Lake, and north of Alatau Mountain.

Although it is not as good as the Tacheng area in the east of the lake, it is also a very good place. In Mongolian, this lake is called Tugul Pool. It used to be the boundary of Chagatai. Later, Kazakhs occupied this place for nomads, and Oirat was driven away by Khalkha. In Moxi, the Junggars occupied this place again.

In the southwest of the lake is the prairie of the Seven Rivers Basin.

Chu Hu'er's khan court was originally on the bank of the Emin River in the east of the lake, and Emin Fort was built in the southeast of Tacheng, but he thought it was too close to the Ming Army's Tacheng and Suijing Fort, and there was Ming Army's Huo Jingbao in the northeast. Fort Bokseri always felt uneasy, so he ran to the southwest of Tacheng, closer to Ala Lake, and built Baktu City as a tent.

But after staying for a long time, I still felt that this place was too close to the Ming army, so I ran directly to the west bank of the lake on the grounds of winter, and built Fort Angelique at the mouth of the Angelique River into the lake.

A very simple small earthen city, but there are many people here.

Chu Hu'er also established the Weisheng Army, a new Junggar right-wing army.

Putting down his pen, Sengge couldn't help but miss Bohuo Xibao's wife, Princess Nanchang. After marriage, the two had a very good relationship. They got along very well, and when he came, his wife wanted to come with him, but he felt sorry for his wife's swollen belly, so he let her spend the winter in the castle to raise her baby, and said that he would go back soon.

The two separated for the first time after marriage, and they didn't know how she was at home.

When the child is born, will it be a boy or a girl, and what name should I marry?

He discussed the name of his son with his wife. If it is a son, it will be called Tsewangarabutan, and if it is a daughter, it will be called Sarilang, which is the most beautiful flower on the grassland.The princess also liked these two names, but she suggested that she should choose a Chinese name, so that it would be convenient for her to go to Beijing to study as an errand in the future. She also said that if she was a girl, she must teach her court etiquette in the Ming Dynasty so that she could marry her in-laws into the Ming Dynasty.

Now the princes and leaders of various Mongolian tribes are also beginning to marry Chinese names. For example, the Choros family of Junggar uses the Chinese surname Luo, while the Borji Jin family of Heshuote changes the surname to Bao, Bao, Bao, and Liu. , Yun, Li, Bo and other surnames are probably from different tribes, and they will choose a surname by themselves. Although they have the same surname, they do not change the same Chinese surname.

When the princes and auspicious people in the upper class used Chinese surnames and Chinese names when they interacted with Daming, the lower nobles also began to give themselves Chinese surnames and Chinese names. They generally felt that this was a very fashionable thing. Of course, Daming also agreed with this. Very supportive.

Many Mongolian aristocrats are busy building castles and manors, changing to Han costumes and using Han etiquette, which is a kind of fashion and taste in the upper class.Especially now that they have made good friends with Daming, various materials and commodities from Daming have been continuously transported to the grassland.

In the past, the Mongols couldn’t get an iron pot, so they could only rely on robbing, but now they can easily trade with Daming for cows, horses, llamas, fur mushrooms, etc., and then exchange them for various things they want, such as Tea bricks, such as iron pots, etc.

Especially now that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty have traveled all over the grasslands, and they have reached agreements with the Mongolian princes and nobles to contract taxes and issue bank notes to them directly. It is very convenient for tax merchants to go down to collect taxes for them.

With bank notes in hand, merchants in the Ming Dynasty provided timely supplies and sufficient supplies, so naturally they had to enjoy it.

Building castles and manors, even spending a lot of money to build temples for lamas, buying all kinds of silk and porcelain, etc., this life is very happy, many princes Taiji now no longer take herdsmen to nomad, build castles and manors to settle down, and the bottom The tribal herdsmen are almost out of touch.

They like to stay in the castle manor. This manor is comfortable to live in, and it can even become a trading market, where houses and shops can be rented out, and taxes for transactions can be collected. How wonderful.

In the past, in winter, famine was easy to occur on the grassland, but now many Ming merchants transport rice flour to the grassland in exchange for fur and livestock.

The lives of the herdsmen are much more convenient, and the lives of nobles like the Mongolian prince Taiji are even better.

You can enjoy it while sitting, who would take the risk to snatch it, let alone Daming is so powerful now, who could snatch it?

Going to die?

At most, it is bullying other weaker tribes.

Drowsiness struck, and the drunk Seng Ge put away his notebook, no longer thinking about it, he lay down on the carpet, covered with a fur, and fell into a deep sleep.

There is still a bit of a smile on his face, as if he is having a good dream.

midnight.

Amidst the whistling north wind, the tent was warm with a stove burning.

A corner of the big tent was gently opened, and Zhuote Babatur took a look, and saw that Seng Ge was fast asleep, so he got in.

He was holding a knife in his hand, which was still dripping with blood.

Seng Ge was a guard on duty outside the tent, and was killed by Zhuote Babatur without anyone noticing.

He raised the knife and came to the fifth younger brother, and stood there looking at Seng Ge who was still smiling in his sleep, with a ferocious expression on his face.

Everything that Sengge has now should belong to him.

He raised the knife and stabbed it without hesitation.

Sengge woke up in severe pain, and opened his eyes to see that it was the second brother.

"You betrayed Junggar, you are ashamed of your father!"

"Die!"

Zhuote Babatur stabbed several times, and Sengge was killed before he could resist.

Do not look down.

After killing the brother in the dream, Zhuote Babatur simply chopped off his brother's head with a knife, and then walked out of the big tent with the bleeding head.

Outside the tent, a group of Junggar warriors stood there.

He raised the monk's head, "The traitor has been killed by me, for Junggar!"

"Kill all of Seng Ge's subordinates!"

In the dark night, the cleaning begins.

Zhuote Babatur raised his head to see Chu Hu'er.

"Very good." Chu Hu'er said with a smile when she saw her nephew's head.

"What's next?"

Chu Hu'er looked at the dark night outside.

"Snowing!"

"Well, it is estimated that there will be heavy snow."

Chu Hu'er said: "You said that if we suddenly go to Sengge's territory now, we should be able to easily take down Bohuo Sibao?"

"You can send someone pretending to be the returning Sangge to trick the castle, and then you can take it down without bloodshed!"

Chu Hu'er twirled her beard, "There are [-] Zhenxi troops in Bohuo Xibao, and many of them are officers from the Ming Dynasty. These people may not be fooled."

"If you do mental calculations but don't care, the chances are great."

"Well, after entering the city, these Ming people in the Zhenxi Army don't move, treat them with food and drink, and the rest of the Zhenxi Army is half of us."

Zhuote Babatur was a little arrogant, "Uncle, since we have made a move, there is nothing to hesitate. Thinking about my father's end, why should we be polite to them? Take Bohuo Sibao and directly take those Ming people were all killed, and then we went straight to Tacheng and took Tacheng and Suijing Fort in one fell swoop."

Chu Hu'er still hesitated.

He wanted to kill his nephew Sengge and take all Junggar under his command, but he was afraid of the Ming army, so he wavered for a while.
