Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 604: The Duke of Feng and reinforcements arrive

The emperor issued an edict to Jasak Tuhan Norbuzi Wangchuck:

I respectfully acknowledge

The destiny of heaven governs the world, and all political decrees are announced and become a constitution. Bohai and abroad, I don't come to enjoy it. I extend my appreciation to Xiqing, and the kindness and courtesy are the same. Not only Oirat, but also Yarkand, Qinghai, Uszang, Bukhara, Kazakhstan, Gansu and other places, all hope to follow the scenery, and the rest include feudal vassals such as Bhutan and Khiva, and there are countless others. Covering the sea and accepting hundreds of rivers, tolerance is great, and benevolence and righteousness are far superior to swords and soldiers.

Zi'er Wangchuck, the son of my old friend. In the past, my father and I broke an arrow and swore an oath to marry each other. We did not seek to live together, but we sought to die together. It's really sad that your father was killed by a traitor, and that he left you orphaned and widowed, and you took refuge in me. I feel pity for you as a young child who has no one to rely on, but it is not easy for you. I once again think about the meaning of sworn worship and it affects you personally. Therefore, he sent troops to help you return to Zasaktu and inherit his father's throne.

The imperial edict says: "Your father Norbu is the most powerful man in Mobei. Since he surrendered, he has been ennobled on behalf of others. He has maintained the vassal status for a long time. He abides by the king's rules. He is careful and fearless. He is loyal and honorable. You should follow him." I hereby send you an edict from Aditya, the head of the Ministry of Rites, to confer the title of Third-Class Lord of Zasak Tu Gong to take charge of all affairs of the Zasak Tu Department. All the nobles and commoners under your command, near and far, should be attentive and supportive, and should not be disobedient or disobedient. They should have a strong, loyal and obedient heart and enjoy the blessing of peace forever. Therefore, this is an edict, and the Xian envoys will know it after hearing it. Qin Zai. Therefore.

At the foot of Yanran Mountain, the imperial conferment ceremony was being held in Orkhunut Otok, which was formerly directly under Zasak Tuhan. Aditya, the imperial envoy of the Kingdom of David, proudly read out to Wangchuck and Chenggun, the two sons of Jasak Tukhan Norbu, the Padma Khan's imperial edict on Wangchuck. Aditya is a Tibetan, and his name is the name of a star in the Tibetan calendar. At this moment, with his nostrils pointing toward the sky, he is as unattainable as a star. The little boss, in the name of an imperial envoy and with the Great Khan of Lotus as his backer, dares to be so arrogant, perfectly interpreting the artistic conception of the idiom of a fox pretending to be a tiger's power.

Wangchuck led Cheng Gun, Ahai Fangqing and others to kneel down respectfully to express their gratitude, without daring to neglect at all.

In fact, there is a lot of mystery in this imperial seal. When he was in Lhasa, Suletan had summoned Wangchuk to talk and said that he would be granted the title of second-class Marquis of Jasaktu. Now he was promoted to the rank of Duke, which fully demonstrated the great khan's care and concern for his sworn brother's son. , which moved Ahai Fangqing and other Norb Khan’s old troops present. This is also a kind of imperial trick. I will give you more than I originally promised. Can you still not be grateful to me? There are also discerning people who can see that the edict only said that Wangchuk should be in charge of all affairs of the Jasak Tube, but did not mention the name Jasak Tuhan. This is also the proper meaning. There are no two days in the sky and no two kings in the country. I have already declared my khan and will not allow any other khan to exist. Although Mongolia has always had deputy khans and minor khans such as "Jinong" and Right Wing Khan, it is an old tradition. Ever since Sultan claimed to be the great khan of all Mongolia, he was the only khan in the Kingdom of David. What? Deputy Khan, Xiao Khan and the like are not allowed to exist, and are replaced by titles such as Duke, Marquis and Count.

"The angel has come from afar to work hard. Please follow me into the account and bring in some meat and wine." Wangchuk said calmly. He has an unusual calmness for his young age.

"Yeah", Aditya nodded slightly and let him go arrogantly.

At the same time as he was granted the title of Duke of Zasak, Sultan also sent many officials to organize the people of Zasak's tribe into households. This caused uneasiness. One day, when the twelve-year-old Wangchuck was preparing to take a rest, Ahai Fangqing broke into the tent with a group of veterans from the Norbu period.

"Master, the officials sent by Weiguo are organizing households in our pasture land and popularizing the "Law of David". It seems that they want to annex us. You have to find a way, otherwise the inheritance of our ancestors will be completely destroyed." Hai Fangqing said anxiously.

"Ugh!"

Wangchuck let out a long sigh and asked Ahai Fangqing: "How many troops are left that we can directly mobilize now?"

"Including all the subordinates and companions (entourages and domestic servants) of the slaves and others, more than two thousand people can be mobilized."

"Do you think you can defeat the Guards with these few troops?" Ahai Fangqing bit her lips tightly and said nothing. Seeing that he was speechless, Wangchuck stared at him and said: "Since you can't defeat them, don't hinder them and let them do whatever they want. In fact, since the defeat of his father Khan, the Jasak tribe has been unable to escape the fate of being annexed. , it is better to be annexed by the Kingdom of David than by the Tushetu people. These days, there have been continuous wars, and the people of Zasaktu are miserable. How can I bear to let the people suffer from war again because of me? So, don’t interfere with them, no matter what Whether it is to establish households and regulate the people, or to popularize the "Law of David", you should not stop it, just obey the orders."

"Yes", after hearing this, Ah Hai burst into tears like a young man.

General Dingbei, Prince Jidu of Jian County, and deputy general Suksaha led more than 14,000 allied troops from various southern Mongolian tribes to arrive at Urg where Tuxietu Khan was stationed as a herdsman. In order to boost their momentum, they wrote to Tuxietu In Khan Gunbu's letter, he called himself Eight Banners.

Gunbu was ecstatic when he heard that the Eight Banners soldiers came to rescue him, just like a person in desperate situation had found a life-saving straw.

Things have not gone well for him recently. First, the guards captured Erdenizhao and captured his second son, the great monk Jebzundamba; Because of the tragic deaths of his father Lahuli and his brother Serji, Su, Erlinqin acted against him and did not obey his orders. This made it difficult for him to muster all his strength to resist the guards. Not long ago, another news came that damn Formed an alliance with the Tohuite tribe and the Guards, with the intention of attacking the Tuxie Tu tribe from a flank.

Just when he was worried, reinforcements came, how could he not be happy! Gunbu ordered that he personally go out to the outskirts of the city to welcome Jidu ten miles away.

He had tasted the power of the Eight Banners cavalry. In the third year of Shunzhi (1646), the leader of the Mongolian Sunit tribe took the opportunity to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and led his troops to Khalkha. He and the Chechen Khan Shuolei joined forces with soldiers to welcome them, and plundered the people and livestock of the Monan Mongolian Bahrain tribe. Emperor Shunzhi ordered Prince Duduo of Henan to go on an expedition as a powerful general. He first defeated the Sunit tribe and captured his family, baggage, and livestock of more than people. He then defeated soldiers of the Tuxietu Khan and three soldiers of the Chechen Khan. Ten thousand. That battle was heartbreaking for him and others. Soon, the Sunit tribe surrendered, and the Tuxietu tribe and the Chechen tribe professed their vassalage to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and paid tribute to Jiubai.

In my impression, the Eight Banners soldiers were very elite, well-equipped, fully armored, equipped with many cannons and muskets. During battle, bullets flew everywhere and no one could stop them.

"Eqi Ge, here we come," Chahun Dorji said excitedly.

Gunbu was overjoyed. He looked into the distance and saw black lines and flags appearing on the endless grassland.

Huh? No, each flag of the Eight Banners Soldiers has the same style. When fighting, they are yellow, white, red, and blue. They are arranged neatly and the army is very strong. But the flags of this army are diverse and come in all colors. Is this the Eight Banners Soldier? Why do they look like Monan Mongolian tribesmen?

Gun Bu is old and cunning. Although he sees something different, at present, powerful enemies are pressing on the territory, and it is urgent to release the news of the arrival of reinforcements to cheer people up. Therefore, it does not matter whether the people coming are from the Eight Banners. The key is to make the people of Tuxie Tubu believe in Tu Xie Tubu. Xie Tubu is not alone.

"Quick, prepare hada, kumiss and barbecue, and come with me to welcome the Eight Banners cavalry," he shouted.
