The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty.

Chapter 362: Legend of Hadun and the Lord of the Restoration

Mongoljin tribe.

Huoshai looked at the body of Bogezan in front of him, his face gloomy to the extreme.

The warriors of the Yongshebu tribe threw Bogezan's body outside their camp, then conveyed Yibula's original words and left.

Huoshai is facing a difficult decision at this moment.

Should he choose to completely betray Dayan Khan, or choose to turn back and help Dayan Khan quell the right-wing rebellion?
This choice was not difficult for lords of different surnames such as Yibula and Mandulai.

You want to split up my tribe, and use Jinong to deprive me of my power over the tribe. Naturally, I will rise up in resistance and fight you to the death!
This is the true thought of all the lords of different surnames.

But Huoshai was different. He was the best general under Dayan Khan, and he and Batu Mengke had a deep friendship like brothers, and they were also relatives by marriage.

Huoshai Shangmandu's second daughter Princess Isik, also known as Tabunang (son-in-law), was an absolute brother of Dayan Khan. Huoshai also helped Batu Mongke raise his third son, Barsborot. The two sides looked like a family no matter how you looked at them.

Moreover, two people played a key role in Batu Mongke's unification of the grassland and reconstruction of the Golden Family. One was his wife Manduhai, and the other was Huoshai.

Manduhai was from the Wanggu tribe of Mongolia, and the Wanggu tribe was a generational relative of Genghis Khan's Golden Family.

Manduhai first married the Mongolian Khan Mandugul (Mandulu Khan) and was a little Khatun (wife), Mandugul's concubine. She and Mandugul had two daughters, the eldest daughter was Princess Borokqin and the second daughter was Princess Iksi. Princess Borokqin married the Grand Tutor Qiasilan and Princess Iksi married Huoshai. Both Qiasilan and Huoshai were lords of the Mongolian tribe at that time.

Mandugul Khan died of illness after four years in office. He had no son to inherit the throne. In the same year, he and his Grand Master Qiejia Silan conspired to kill Bayan Mongke, the deputy khan, and annexed his Ordos tribe. After Mandugul Khan's death, Mandu Haihadun inherited the tribes directly under the Khan, including some of the tribes that had annexed Bayan Mongke, the deputy khan. He was very powerful.

Mongolia has always had the custom of the heir taking the deceased's concubines. Since Mandugul Khan had no heir, the next Khan could take his wives and concubines. According to normal procedures, the new Khan should be elected first, and then the Khan could take the wife, tribes, property, cattle and sheep of the previous Khan.

However, Mongolia had always been in the midst of division and internal strife, which undoubtedly gave those lords of different surnames a great opportunity to steal power. With their support, there were many people who wanted to compete for the throne of the Khan at that time, but none of them were direct descendants of Genghis Khan.

However, due to legal constraints, Sayid, who had a different surname, could not participate in this competition, so it became a matter of whoever could marry Manduhai would be able to take over the tribe and become the Khan. Therefore, powerful people who coveted the Khanate were all eager to propose marriage to Manduhai.

Manduhai was a great Khatun. In this important historical period, in order to maintain the stability of Mongolia and preserve the inheritance of the Golden Family, he searched for a long time and finally found the only legitimate heir to the Khan's throne who was wandering outside, namely Batu Mongk, the orphan of the Deputy Khan Bayan Mongk.

But Batu Mongke was only four years old at the time. He was displaced, weak and unable to govern. Manduhai proposed to maintain the Golden Family of Genghis Khan to inherit the Khan throne and called for the unification of Mongolia. She said she would rather sacrifice everything to achieve the unification of Mongolia.

Therefore, Manduhai, who was already 30 years old at the time, resolutely married the young orphan Batu Mongke, and tried her best to help him obtain the throne, and respectfully called him Dayan Khan.

This decision caused an uproar on the grassland, not only because Manduhai was much older than Batu Mongke, a full 25 years older, but also in terms of seniority, Manduhai was Batu Mongke's great-aunt (two generations older). Most importantly, Batu Mongke's father, Boluo Hujinong Bayan Mongke, was an enemy of Mandugul Khan not long ago.

In fact, although it seems absurd for Manduhai to marry the orphan Batu Mengke, it is an unavoidable act.

After the deliberate massacre by the beast Choros Yesen, the descendants of the Golden Family were few in number, and Batu Mongke might have been the one with the highest order of succession at that time.

Moreover, judging from the example of Yesen, if a person from a different family were to become the Great Khan, he would immediately become the target of public criticism and would be attacked by all the tribes.

Manduhai's marriage to the orphan Batu Mongke not only complied with the unwritten rule that those who were not from the Golden Family could not inherit the Khanate, but also did not offend any forces too early. In addition, the fact that Batu Mongke was young could also make the powerful officials relax their vigilance, thus stabilizing the situation in the Mongol Empire with great difficulty. It was undoubtedly a wise and courageous decision!
Mandu Haihadun officially married Dayan Khan Batu Mengke when he was 17 years old.

After Manduhai's unremitting efforts, he officially supported Batumengke as the Great Khan, and named him Dayan Khan, which means "all the world". "Dayan Khan" means "Khan of all the world".

Manduhai and Dayan Khan, who later grew up under her education, always regarded unifying Mongolia and restoring the Yuan Dynasty as their lifelong goal.

Manduhai's first goal was to conquer the Oirats, the old enemies of the Mongolian headquarters, namely the Wala tribe.

Since Khan Batu Mongke was young, Manduhai put him in a quiver and carried him on his body for protection. He personally led his troops to kill the enemy, and even had his helmet chopped off during the charge, nearly killing him. It was Manduhai's belief in giving up everything for Mongolia that inspired all the men of the Mongolian headquarters. They swore allegiance to this great Khatun and achieved victory with great difficulty.

After crippling the Oirat, Manduhai made further efforts and led the Chahar and Tumed armies with Dayan Khan to attack the powerful minister Qigaslan again. He eliminated this mortal enemy, took in Qigaslan's followers, and returned victoriously.

From then on, Manduhai's last enemy was Grand Master Yismain. The decisive battle to unify Mongolia was also to eliminate Yismain. Grand Master Yismain was surrounded by the coalition forces of Dayan Khan and the Three Uriankhai Guards. He did not dare to fight, and in panic he took his wife and fought and retreated, fleeing westward. His subordinates were all captured, and several children were abducted by the Three Guards. He fled westward without stopping, and finally retreated to his old nest, Mekeli, in the north of Hami, and saved his life.

Three years later, the desperate Yismain was shot to death by Huoshai, a general under Dayan Khan himself!

Manduhai Khatun single-handedly created a powerful Mongolia, and with her support, Dayan Khan officially became the Khan who unified the entire Mongolia!
During this critical process, as Manduhai Hatun's son-in-law, Huoshai also followed them in their battles and became the first general under Dayan Khan and Manduhai Hatun. They not only had a relationship of in-laws, but also a deep affection of fighting side by side.

That is why the Fire Sift appears to be wavering in this left-right split.

On the one hand, he was dissatisfied with Dayan Khan's decision to suppress and eliminate him after consolidating his position; on the other hand, Huoshai also did not want Mandu Haihadun's life's work to go to waste because of his participation in the right-wing rebellion.

After the death of her husband, the Great Khan Mandulu, Manduhaikhatun was able to turn the tide and assisted Dayan Khan in reversing the chaos that had lasted for nearly a hundred years in Mongolia and achieving revival. In Mongolian history, Manduhaikhatun's achievements can be compared with those of Genghis Khan's mother Hoelun!

She is a great Khatun!

Huoshai had always respected her greatly and was even willing to die for her.

However, Mandu Haihadun also passed away. He was now a remnant of the old era and a great lord of a different surname who had to be eradicated by Dayan Khan Batu Mongke!

For a moment, Huoshai felt a little melancholy and confused.

He had never been so confused in his life.

He didn't know where his destiny was.

He was once the first hero who assisted Dayan Khan in his rise to power! But now, he has become Dayan Khan's biggest enemy in unifying Mongolia!
After Mandu Haihadun's death, there was no room for reconciliation between Huoshai and Dayan Khan.

This leader who has devoted his life to the great cause of Mongolian unification will not stop eliminating the great lords of different surnames because of any personal feelings!
But Huoshai was also unwilling to give up!
He fought on the battlefield for Batu Mongke!

He charged forward for Batu Mengke!

He gave everything for the rise of Batu Mengke!
Now he is very old, but he is going to have a tragic ending of "the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked"!

Why?
Why can't you let me die and then annex my tribe?
Huoshai's face began to turn gloomy.

Just at this moment, a loud bang suddenly sounded in the silent night sky!
Before Huoshai could react, his subordinates rushed in to report.

"Sir, something happened!"

"Yibulla and Mandulai are coming to kill us!"

"They also used a terrifying firearm that our warriors could not stop..."

Upon hearing this, Huoshai's face changed drastically. Without time to ask any further questions, he immediately put on his armor and rode his horse to the battlefield.

The fighting had stopped, and many warriors of the Mengguolejin tribe were lying in a pool of blood, obviously dead.

Seeing this, Huoshai became furious and rushed forward on his horse.

"It's not bad either!"

"Mandulai!"

"What do you want to do?"

"Do you really have to force me to fight you to the death?"

When Yibula heard this, he slowly rode his horse forward.

"Hahaha……"

"Fire Sieve, how is it? Is our artillery sharp enough?"

Yibula said proudly: "Don't get me wrong, we are just trying out the artillery of the Ming army!"

artillery?

The Ming army’s artillery?
Huoshai's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

"damn it!"

"You actually colluded with the Ming army?"

"Are you doing this to split Mongolia?"

Mandulai sneered: "It was not us who split Mongolia, but Batu Mengke!"

"Huoshai, stop dreaming!"

"You know better than us that Batu Mengke will kill all the lords of different surnames!"

"Once he eliminates me and Yibula, the next one will be Nihuoshai!"

Hearing this, Huoshai remained silent and did not refute.

Yibula smiled sinisterly and said, "Huoshai, you are the best general under Batu Mengke, and you have made great contributions to his rise."

"Then why did Batu Mengke prefer to enthrone the leader of the Khorchin tribe, Ordo Guhai, as Noyan and give him the status of a legitimate great lord, but couldn't give you a Huoshai?"

After these words were spoken, Huoshai's face became even uglier!

"Because Batu Mengke has always regarded you as a slave, and he has long regarded your Mengguerjin tribe as his own!"

"The Khorchin tribe is very powerful, known as the 'Two Hundred Thousand Khorchins', so Batu Mengke treated them as brothers and promised that he would never split up the original Khorchin tribe, nor would he send officials from the Khanate to govern them. He only needed them to pledge allegiance to the Khan..."

"Shut up!" Huoshai was furious.

He clenched his fists tightly.

Batu Mengke!

Why are you doing this to me?
