Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 77 Lin Dan Khan was defeated and fled Qinghai (Part )
In the Tumo River outside Xuanfu and outside the sweat tent of the Chahar tribe, a large bamboo pole is fixed on a toad stone base. Its shape is similar to an ancient weapon - a spear. The base of the spear body forms a disc. , there are eighty-one holes around the edge of the plate, and horse hair is tied as a hanging tassel. The wind is gentle and the tassels are fluttering, as if telling the desolation of history.

This is the "Sulu ingot" used by Genghis Khan. Although the military flags of all Mongolian tribes are printed with the "Sulu Ingot" pattern, and some ambitious self-proclaimed Khans have also imitated many "Sulu Ingots", there is only one that can truly represent all of Mongolia, and it has been passed down from generation to generation in the direct line of the Golden Family. Descendants of Chahar tribe.

The charcoal fire made the sweat tent feel as warm as spring, but Lin Danhan, who had just passed his forties, felt that his heart was cold. He was immersed in reviewing official documents, all of which were filled with complaints and complaints. After moving westward to the right wing, the tribe suffered serious attrition due to "early frost outside the Great Wall, poor harvests and severe epidemics".

In order to solve the economic crisis, the Great Khan invaded Mingbian twice in 1631 and 1632 and robbed many tribes of supplies that were in short supply; in November 1631, he led his army to conquer the Xilamulun River eastward and invaded the areas where gold had been deposited. Arukorqin reached the pastureland of Lai Chuhu'er and took away Seleng Abahai's tribe. When Huang Taiji arrived with 11 elite cavalry, the Chahar army had already withdrawn. In addition, he also killed the envoys sent to the right wing from the Mobei Khalkha tribes, causing panic among the Mobei tribes.

Although the partial military victory helped alleviate economic difficulties, it offended most of the Mongolian feudal lords. Politically, they fell into a lonely situation and became increasingly distant from the dream of unifying Mongolia. In order to get out of the predicament, he planned to form an "anti-Yellow Religion Alliance" with Choktu Taiji (Chett Khan) of Qinghai, Zangba Khan of Houzang, and Baili Chieftain of Kham.

"Alas! Choktu wrote to me a few days ago, saying that he has basically controlled Qinghai and is preparing to march on Lhasa. This Choktu is very loyal to me. He said that after taking Lhasa, he is willing to use up all the products in Lhasa. Dedicate it to me. The area controlled by the Yellow Sect is very wealthy, and I know it can become the foundation of the overlord. But do you want to contact Zangba Khan and Baili Chieftain to send troops together?"

He thought carefully, if Choktu could monopolize Lhasa with his own troops, then he would have a large rear area to fight against Hou Jin. Thinking of this, he wrote an edict to Choktu, allowing him to move freely towards Lhasa.

The banks of Qinghai Lake are all pastures with lush water and grass. According to this, there is no need to worry about having no cattle or sheep in this blessed land.

After many bloody battles, Choktu Taiji occupied this place. His tribe is the Northern Yuan Dynasty that settled in Qinghai after Tumut, Dorothumte, and Yongxiebu. As a large tribe, Taiji has always had a burning ambition in his chest.

At that time, he wanted to be the leader of the Khalkha Mongols, but he could not defeat other large tribes and had to go south to Qinghai. Fortunately, Lin Dan Khan is his backer. Although this Mongolian Khan is now weak in power, he is still the nominal leader of the Mongolian Communist Party. Under his banner, he can help win the support of the grassroots herdsmen. Therefore, he paid tribute to Lin Dan Khan every year, often asked for instructions and reports, and pretended to be submissive, but in his heart he always thought about fighting for world hegemony!

In fighting for world hegemony, the most important thing is territory. With territory, you can collect taxes, expand your army, and fight wars. Therefore, it is necessary to gain access to Shu and expand territory.

The hero's gaze went south, south, and south again, leaping across thousands of miles of grassland and landing on the snow-covered plateau. Lhasa is a great place! It was the blessed land of the Tufan Kingdom at that time. It is said that there is countless wealth accumulated in the three major temples of the Yellow Sect. If you grab a vote, you will have the military expenses to expand the army.

There is a name for going on an expedition, and there is no better name than "protecting religion under the orders of the Great Khan". As a loyal fan of Lin Dan Khan, his tribe also believes in the "Sakya Sect" (Flower Cult).

The current snow-covered plateau can be described as a hundred flowers blooming and colorful, mainly including the Yellow Sect (Gelug Sect), the Flower Sect (Sakya Sect), the White Sect (Kagyu Sect), and the Red Sect (Ningma Sect). Broadly speaking, the Sakya Sect, Kagyu Sect, and Nyingma Sect all belong to the Red Sect, and together with the original religion "Bon Religion" in Kham, they form a grand alliance against the Yellow Sect.

So Choktu Taiji appealed to the great Lin Dan Khan to send troops to Lhasa to defend the Red Sect.

Lin Dan Khan's envoy Kunga Odesir came to the shores of Qinghai Lake and brought the Great Khan's decree. Chuoktu Taiji did not dare to neglect, burned incense, paid homage, received orders, and responded to all etiquette, just like in the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

After hearing the decree, he was extremely excited and shouted: "Please repay the great Khan with your honor, and I will definitely make Lhasa the pasture of the Great Khan!" Even though he has a noble status, he still calls himself a slave in front of the Great Khan of Mongolia. This person's tolerance is worth it. Marvel.

Kunga Odesir is a famous scholar in Chahar. He participated in the translation of 108 volumes of Kangyur. He is very elegant and personable. Hearing this, he stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "I will definitely return your loyalty to the Great Khan."

Emperor Houjin and Emperor Tiancong Khan Huang Taiji secretly came to the bank of Xilamulun River, not alone, but with an army.

Last year, he wanted to gather troops here and then launch a decisive battle against Lin Dan Khan to completely conquer Monan Mongolia. However, his in-laws Horqin persuaded him by saying that Chahar still had strength and was working hard on the expedition, so he might not be able to win.

This year, the spies sent reported the news that the Chahar tribe suffered from natural disasters and the tribe was exhausted. Huang Taiji felt that the opportunity had come to completely eliminate Lin Dan Khan.

While you are sick, I will kill you!
The wise and insidious Huang Taiji sneaked to the bank of the Xilamulun River with 58,000 bannermen, and ordered the Mongolian tribes who had surrendered to the Jin Dynasty to come to meet with their troops.

One after another, fast horses, carrying Tiancong Khan's orders, rushed to various Mongolian tribes in Monan. First came the 5,000 cavalrymen from the Horqin tribe, the in-laws of the Manchus, and then Taiji from the Zalut, Balin, Naiman, Aohan, Aruhorqin, Wengniute, Asut and other tribes also came with their troops. .

"Are the armies of Karaqin and Tumut coming?" In the big tent, Huang Taiji asked slowly while staring at the military map. These two tribes were both large tribes in Monan, and they had not joined Hou Jin for a long time. He was a little worried about their loyalty.

"The sentinels sent by the slaves discovered the cavalry of Karaqin and Tumote not far away. They are expected to arrive soon," said the guard Sony who was standing by.

"Well, that makes me feel relieved." Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief.

In April 1632, Huang Taiji held a Taiji meeting with Horqin, Zharut, Bahrain, Naiman, Aohan, Kalaqin (Harashen), Tumut, Alukorqin, Wengniute, and Asut. On the banks of the Xilamulun River, the total force reached , preparing to conquer Lin Dan Khan for the second time.

"Pass the order, reward the three armies, and set out for the battle tomorrow." Huang Taiji, who was in high spirits, issued the military order. Today, he has an army of 100,000, but his opponents are "very tired, very hungry, and very poor." "He has only about 40,000 horses, but less than 50,000 troops." He has made great achievements now!
