Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 329 Chu Huer and Batur (Part )
An oil lamp was lit, and what stared at the wick for a long time was the Wolf King's eyes. Batur Hutaiji couldn't sleep, thinking about the harsh living environment in Junggar, and sighed.

He had already anticipated this war, and had previously sent missions to the major surrounding forces requesting marriage alliances. It was just that he had not expected that the war would break out so quickly. The treacherous Suletan son, while trumpeting the news that he was going to marry the eldest princess of the Qing Dynasty, launched a surprise attack on Junggar. He behaves in such a despicable manner and is not worthy of being a Mongolian! Fortunately, he was wary of defending his country, and had been deploying heavy troops on the southern border and building a city. No matter who wants to annex Junggar, they will have to break a few teeth.

For the weaker party, diplomacy is strength. The scheming Batur made a lot of friends on weekdays, and he thought he had quite a lot of friends. As soon as the Wei-Zhun war started, he sent messengers asking for help to various countries, asking his friends to send troops for rescue.

The great emperor of the Oros people said that he could provide guns and gunpowder to Junggar in exchange for cattle, sheep, horses and camels. As for sending troops, it is not impossible. The Dzungars must first swear allegiance to His Majesty the Great Tsar and convert to their Orthodox religion. The happy life that the Junggar people have today is all thanks to the blessing of Buddha. Changing their beliefs is not a topic that can be discussed. As for swearing allegiance to His Majesty the Tsar, as a means to confuse the Oros people, Daftesh of the Durbot tribe, Turgut tribe and Orlek have all done it many times, but it is just a verbal allegiance. ,Meaningless. But the Wolf King has his own pride. How can the descendants of the Choros family bow to the aliens? So, flatly refuse. Seeing that blackmail was ineffective, the hateful Oros people added several more Cossack winter camps in the middle reaches of the Irtysh River.

The three khanates in Central Asia, Kazakhstan, Bukhara, and Khiva, have always been the focus of his efforts to win over. Yangir Khan of the Kazakh Khanate agreed to marry the daughter of his fourth brother Dalma as his concubine. However, marriage is okay, but war is not. Yangir Khan refused to send troops for rescue, and even refused to station heavy troops in the border areas adjacent to Weiguo, so as not to offend Weiguo. The Khan, who had only been in power for a few years, just wanted to stabilize the regime as soon as possible and lead the country to recover from the civil war in previous years. Going to war with the Patriots was never an option; twenty-five years ago, there was civil strife in the Khiva Khanate. The Khan was deposed and his eyes were gouged out. From then on, a long period of internal strife within the royal family and a fierce struggle between the Uzbeks and Turkmens began. Although the newly appointed Abkhaz Bahadur Khan was a promising monarch, he had just stabilized his internal affairs at this time and was unable to expand; the Astrakhan dynasty of the Bukhara Khanate was at its peak economically. During this period, cities such as Samarkand and Bukhara were the economic centers and arms trading centers of Central Asia. However, the local clans in the country are extremely powerful. Although Abdullah Aziz Khan, who has just been in power for two years, has the ambition to expand his territory, it is difficult to integrate the power of the whole country. He can only attack Tashkent, Yarkand Province of Weiguo, and Some small-scale military harassment was carried out in Fergana and other places.

These countries are not Junggar's most important allies, or in other words, their most important reliance. The Qing Dynasty was the only thing that mattered most to Batur, and one after another envoys rode fast horses to Beijing to ask for help. The imperial uncle and the regent ordered people to send a lot of cannons, armors, weapons, food and medicinal materials. At the same time, he promised to send envoys to mediate the conflict between the two countries, but he refused to directly send troops to rescue them on the grounds that they were using troops against Nanming.

However, as a master of political strategy, Dorgon was afraid that the Junggar people would be disheartened, and he was even more afraid that the Wei Kingdom would become powerful after annexing the Junggar people. He also stated that he would order the Mobei Khalkha Mongolian ministries to rescue the Junggar people as the suzerain. The reason why he was confident that he could mobilize the troops in Mobei was because in the great battle that took place last year, the Eight Banners warriors used their majestic military power to teach the various Khalkha Mongolian ministries to be honest and obedient.

As early as 1638, the Mobei Khalkha Mongols offered "Nine White Tributes" to the Qing Dynasty to express their surrender. But as Dorgon implemented the order of shaving hair across the country, the world was in chaos. Sun Kewang and Li Dingguo began to manage Yunnan and Guizhou, Emperor Yongli ascended the throne in Guangdong and Guangxi, Zheng Chenggong vowed to fight against the Qing Dynasty on the southeast coast, He Tengjiao gained momentum after joining forces with the Dashun Army in Hunan, and the three major malpractices of enclosure, shaving, and surrender were triggered in the north. There have been no fewer than a hundred civil commotions in
Seeing this situation, the ambitious princes of Khalkha Mongolia were ready to take action. In April last year, at the instigation of the Chechen Khan, Tengis, the leader of the Sunit tribe of Monan Mongolia who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, announced his separation from the Qing Dynasty and joined the Khalkha Mongolia. In order to prevent a chain reaction, Dorgon decided to teach the heroes of Mobei a lesson. In May, he ordered the Monan Mongolian tribes to gather at the Kherulun River, appointed Duduo as his powerful general, and led 20,000 eight-banner troops from Beijing to conquer Tenggis and quickly defeated the Sunit tribe. Khalkha Mongolia sent troops to rescue, Tushetu Khan sent 20,000 people, and Chechen Khan sent 30,000 people.

Fifty thousand Mobei troops faced off against 20,000 Qing troops. The Qing troops first bombarded the opponent's cavalry group with heavy artillery. The horses were frightened and the army formation was in chaos. Then the cavalry on both flanks charged, and the Khalkha army soon collapsed. On July 13, the Qing army defeated the Tushetu Khan, and the next day, they defeated the Chechen Khan. After this battle, the Khalkha Mongols realized that the tiger's butt could not be touched, so it was better to be honest, so they sent people to Beijing to pay tribute and apologize. The Qing court gave him armor, bows and arrows, once again confirming the relationship between the suzerains.

Batur Hutaiji has always been condescending to powerful Khalkha factions such as Zasak Tuhan Subadi, Tushetu Khan Gunbu, Chechen Khan Shuolei, and Tohuit tribe Ombu Erdeni. Not long ago, he sent someone to arrange a marriage and presented four noble girls from Junggar. Faced with Dorgon's order and Batur's letter asking for help, Subadi and other Khalkha princes expressed their willingness to send troops to rescue Junggar on the spot. However, they used the excuse that they needed time to prepare food, grass and baggage, and reinforcements from Mobei did not come. Waiting on the right is also missing.

It seems that I can only rely on myself! snort! So what? After so many years of hard work, haven’t we, the Junggar people, made it through little by little on our own? Batur Hutaiji was furious and determined to fight to the death with the guards.

In the early morning three days later, the prepared Junggar army carried rows of rafts and small boats to the Shawan River. The two young generals were eager to try, holding scimitars in their hands.

Batur stared at the second general and shouted in a deep voice: "Chechnya, Zhuote Batur, do you know why I let you two be the vanguard?"

"I don't know, kid," said Drote Babatur with a confused look on his face.

"Because we are the sons of Batur Hutaiji," Chechen said loudly.

"Yes, because you two are my sons, the most dangerous battle should be fought by you two. Go ahead, rather die in battle than lose the face of the Junggar people!"

"Yes, Eqi Ge", his blood was boiling with excitement at his father's words. The second general's eyes widened, and he boarded the raft with his sword and bow. Rows of rafts are like arrows shooting towards the other side.
