Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 576: The devil’s hand reaches out to Khalkha (Part )

"Bobei, the servant of the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, would like to report that the request for Zhasak Tukhan Norbu is civil:
Ji Sun's worries are not in Zhuan Yu, but within Xiao Qiang. Recently, Zhasak Tukhan Norbu hosted a banquet for his slaves. During the dinner, David asked Tushe Tuhan Gonbu for help to obtain the refugees of Erjigen and Busuute Otok. The dispute between the two departments is getting more and more intense, and the war between the two is just around the corner. This is the sincere gift of Khalkha to Your Majesty.

Your Majesty is kind and virtuous, and when he conquers other countries, he never uses unknown troops to do so, but only for greed. If two tigers are fighting and the lives of the people are in ruins, it is the right time to stop the fighting, relieve the people from hanging upside down, and send the troops north. The slave thought that Norbu wanted to submit to the Celestial Empire, so he took advantage of the situation and sent envoys back and forth in the near future to become one with him.

It is the duty of this servant to recruit Khalkha. I dare not neglect it. Whether it is appropriate or not, I will ask His Majesty's holy scriptures for instructions. I would like to attach a piece of music."

In the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace in Lhasa, Suletan carefully looked at the memorial on Bobei. The memorial is not long, but the appendix is ​​very long. It records the terrain of Khalkha, the population distribution of each tribe, the number of troops and other information in extremely detail. I couldn't help but sigh, "Bobei, this slave is really attentive. I didn't misjudge him."

"Judging from Bobei's memorial, the civil war between the Zasak tribe and the Tuxie tribe is about to break out, and there is only one last fire left. Well, I have to light this fire for them," Suletan said to himself , commented in the memorial: "What you said is very good. I would like to give Norbu ten squatting cannons, three hundred muskets, three hundred pieces of armor, five hundred knives, one thousand spears, one thousand bows, and He was allowed to exchange gold, silver, cattle, sheep, horses, camels and other items for ordnance in Barkol and Hami."

The Great Khan of Lotus, who had seen the big scene, could see through Zasak Tukhan Norbu's mind at a glance. This man wanted to ask for refugees from Tushe Tukhan Gonbu, but he was also worried that he was not as powerful as him, so he wanted to find a big tree to rely on. . In this case, give him a strong arm, give him weapons and supplies, and support him so that he has the courage to go to war with Tuxie Tubu.

Soon, Norbu's envoys came to Lhasa and brought the declarations of allegiance from Norbu, Ombu Erdeni, and twenty-six Taijis from the Zasak Tu tribe and the Tohuit tribe.

Sultan was overjoyed and immediately issued a decree to confer Norbu the title of Zhasak Tugong, Ombu Erdeni the title of Hotohuite Marquis, and all the others were rewarded.

"These are all given to me by Sultan Anda, no, the Great Khan?" Looking at the piles of ordnance shipped from Hami, Zasak Tuhan Noor's eyes were filled with red eyes. These things are nothing to the wealthy Great Khan of Lotus. Most of them are old equipment that have been eliminated, but for Mobei, who lives in a bitter and cold place, they are rare treasures.

Bobei smiled slightly and said, "The Great Khan was overjoyed when he heard the news that you led the army to surrender. This is a gift he gave you. There will be rewards in the future. The Great Khan is willing to carry out military trade with you. You can use gold, silver and The cattle were exchanged with me David at Barkol and Hami for the weapons he needed, such as cannons, muskets, armor and weapons."

"Oh, this is great. Why should I be afraid of Tuxie Tubu? How can I repay the great Khan's kindness?" Norbu was extremely happy.

"Haha, you are out of touch now. You are now the Duke of David, so David will naturally make the decision for you. The Great Khan has spoken to support your request to take back the refugees of Erjigen and Busote. They They were originally subjects of the Zasaktu tribe and should return to the Zasak tribe. The original "Mongolia-Oirat Code" was agreed by all Oirat and Kharkadej, and Gonbu Khan had no right to violate it." Bo Bei took the opportunity to provoke. "With your words, I feel relieved. Gunbu Khan is greedy and will most likely refuse my request for subjects. If we fight against the Tushetu people in the future, we hope to get help from David's army."

Bobei's eyes flickered and he said slowly: "Our army has just finished fighting Bukhara and Kazakhstan. Our soldiers are tired. We are not planning to fight a big war in the near future. We can only provide you with ordnance and supplies."

After hearing this, Norbu felt even more relieved. What he said just now was just a test. If the other party agreed to send troops to support him, he would be worried that his brother-in-law Suletan had the ambition to get involved in Mobei. Now he was only willing to give him weapons and refused to send troops, which made him feel a stone dropped. My own strength was originally only slightly smaller than that of Gunbu, but now that I have David's cannons and weapons and armor, I have much greater hope of defeating Gunbu and regaining the position of leader of the Khalkha Alliance.

After sending Bobi off politely, Norbu immediately summoned the seven great masters Noyan for discussion. The Great Khan of Zasaktu was elected by these seven Heshuoyan, and the consent of these seven was required for major events. The seven are uncles Ombu Erdeni and Baga Ahai, the eldest brother Sonamu Ahai Chuhu'er, the second brother Siqibu Erdeni, the fourth brother Gonbuzak Bingtu Ahai, the fifth brother Gonbu Zak Darhan originally had his great-uncle Saiin Batema, but during the civil war in the past few years, he annexed Saiin Batema's Otok and replaced him with his eldest son Wangshuk.

"Everyone, my dear Anda, the Lotus Khan of the Kingdom of David has promised to provide us with arms, and the first batch of arms and supplies has arrived. With David's support, we no longer have to fear the Tuxietu people. The It’s time to use force to demand the refugees of Erjigen and Busote from them.”

"Great Khan, when do you plan to take action? The Tohuite Department and I are ready," asked Ombu Erdeni Hutaiji of the Tohuite Department. Although it is nominally a branch of the Zasaktu tribe, the strength of the Hetuohite tribe is actually not much worse than that of the Zasaktu tribe. The Tohite tribe almost conquered the entire Oirat with one force. Ombu Erdeni always wanted to restore his father's glory, so he was particularly enthusiastic about fighting for territory and the like.

"I plan to gather all my strength and go on the expedition in two months when the grass grows and the orioles fly." Norbu gritted his teeth. It was obvious that he had been waiting for this day for too long.

"Great Khan, the Tushetu people are not easy to mess with. I would like to be polite first and then send troops to see Gunbu Khan. If he is willing to hand over the fugitives and avoid fighting, it will also be a blessing for the people of Khalkha." Heshuo Noyamba Ga Ahai said. He is Norbu's uncle and the oldest among everyone present.

After listening to Uncle Cong's words, Norbu said slowly: "Baga Ahai's words are very reasonable. It would be great if we could retrieve the refugees without a fight and avoid the bloodshed in Khalkha. Let us give peace one last time. Opportunity. Fifth brother, you go to see Gunbu Khan and tell him that he must hand over the refugees from Erjigen and Busote, otherwise we will fight with each other," he said, looking at Gunbu Zak Darhan.

"Don't worry, brother, I will rush to Urg (Kulun) to see Gonbu Khan. If he refuses, I will fight with him." Gonbu Zak Darhan roared, his voice like a bell.
