Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 957: The Hero's Granddaughter Must Be Treated Well

At noon, the Lotus Khan, who was known for his diligence, hugged the soft Erdeni Bumba and was reluctant to get up. It must be said that his choice was right. The 22-year-old Erdeni Bumba was much more plump than the 12-year-old Hasi. Having given birth to a child, she was also very relaxed on the dragon bed, making the Oirat fierce god unable to extricate himself. Although he knew that her obedience was more to save her relatives, he still felt very proud. Judging from the reaction of the beauty, he was still as good as ever.

"Khan, you are awake. Please let me help you change your clothes." This woman is very strange. She was so cold and stern yesterday, but today she is more obedient than a sheep.

"Yeah," Sultan stretched out his sleep enjoyably, stood up to accept her service, and put on his Mongolian robe.

"Come here, pass on the imperial decree to confer the title of Huifei on Erdeni Bumba." As soon as she put on her clothes, the Great Khan granted her a favor.

"Thank you, Great Khan, for your grace." Erdeni Bumba, who had been the Queen of the Qing Dynasty, was not moved by the mere title of a concubine and thanked him lightly. But then another sentence from the Great Khan made her grateful, "Although Wu Kesan and Manzhu Xili are guilty, their families are not guilty. All their descendants and female relatives will be sent back home, and each family will be given a pasture of ten miles in radius, twenty horses, thirty cows, one thousand sheep, and twenty slaves."

"For your sake, I wanted to give them more rewards, but the other princes and nobles who defected to the pseudo-Qing Dynasty were also treated in the same way. Your father and uncle's crimes are greater than others, so it's not right to be partial to one and ignore the other." Sultan laughed and kissed the beautiful woman's cheek hard, "It doesn't matter, we'll deal with it later." After that, he went to the Khan's tent for meetings, as there were still many important matters waiting to be dealt with.

There are indeed many things to deal with. The most important thing is to pacify the southern tribes that refuse to surrender and completely unify Mongolia. Now there are only two parts of the tribes that refuse to surrender: one is the four tribes of Alukhorchin, Wengniud, Balin, and Zarut who fled to Xila Wenduer Mountain, and the other is the two tribes of Zhalat and Gorlos in the northeast of Jirim League. It is necessary to strike while the iron is hot. The Great Khan is determined to bring all these tribes under his command in one go. He adopted both war and peace, and sent people to send letters of persuasion to the taijis of various tribes. At the same time, he ordered Zhao Wang Biligendalai and Junggar Wanhuzhang Wurigendalai to lead 10,000 troops to conquer Xila Wenduer Mountain, and Horqin County King Dushihuoer and Henjirig County King Selen led 7,000 troops to conquer Zhalat and Gorlos. They belonged to the same tribe of Nen Horqin, and maybe they could win without fighting.

After discussing matters with the ministers, Sultan reviewed the memorials for a while and felt a little tired. He was about to go into the tent to have a chat with the newly appointed Concubine Hui when he was informed that the Prince of Korchin wanted to see him.

"Dushihuoer? Why did he come to see me? Yes, I just ordered him to attack the Jalaid and Gorlos tribes. He must have come for the war," Sultan said to himself, and ordered: "Call him in."

"Greetings, Great Khan!" As soon as they met, Dushhor began to bow deeply and was extremely obedient.

"My dear minister, you have fought against the rebels for me and have made great contributions. Please don't give me such a great gift," Sultan said politely after accepting his gift.

"Without the Khan, I would not be here today. It is my duty to kowtow to the Khan," Dushhor said sincerely. He flattered the Khan so much that he was flattered. He asked cheerfully, "What is the matter with you, my dear minister?"

"I have completed the task you asked me to do, and I have come to report to you."

"What did I tell you to do? What was it?" Sultan was a little confused. "Great Khan, have you forgotten? You asked me to find you a noblewoman from the Khorchin tribe, and you said that it would be fine as long as she was not from the family of Wu Keshan or Manzhu Xili. I have done it," Dushhor said respectfully.

"Oh, this matter! This~" Sultan was speechless for a moment. He was just trying to evade the question, but he didn't expect that this servant would take it seriously! On second thought, it was no wonder that he didn't take it seriously. A king's words are not a joke. Thinking of this, he asked gently, "I wonder which girl you picked for me?"

"She is Odunmuqier, the adopted daughter of Alashan, Beile of the Right Middle Banner of Khorchin, and the granddaughter of Garzhusaiteer Taiji. She is just sixteen years old this year. She lives up to her name, as bright as the branches of stars," Dushhuoer said with a little pride. It seems that this girl must be extraordinary in appearance.

After all, he was a powerful ruler who ruled the world. Sultan did not pay much attention to the girl named Odunmuqier. Instead, he asked in surprise: "Alashan, I know that she is the son of Bayashulang, the Tushetu Prince of the Right Wing Middle Banner of Khorchin in the pseudo-Qing Dynasty, but who is that Garzhusaiteer Taiji? Why don't you have any impression of her?"

"Great Khan, Garjusai Tertaiji is a great hero of us Mongolians. Please listen to what I have to say in detail." Dushihuoer knew that Great Khan Lianhua respected the heroes who resisted the Qing Dynasty the most, so he was fully prepared this time.

At that time, Kuimengke, the 15th grandson of Genghis Khan's brother Hesar, led his people to the Nenjiang River Basin and founded the Nenhorqin tribe. His two sons, Bodidala and Nomondara, split into the left and right wings. Traditionally, the Hong Taiji (leader) was held by the right wing. When the leader Oba came, his power became increasingly powerful. In order to win over Oba, the Qing court named him Tushetu Khan. After Oba Khan died, his son Badali succeeded to the throne. According to the rules, he should have inherited his father's Tushetu Khanship. But at this time, Huang Taiji, who was in power in the Qing court, was a monarch with great talent and strategy. He was afraid of the strength of the Nenhorqin tribe and implemented the policy of "suppressing the right wing and supporting the left wing". On the one hand, he continued to marry with the left wing taijis such as Konggor, Wu Keshan, Sonom, and Manzhu Xili, while on the other hand, he split and suppressed the right wing, and only gave Badali the title of "Tushetu Jinong" and did not allow him to inherit the title of Tushetu Khan. This was naked contempt, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among the right wing taijis. Badali, who was of a weak character, did not dare to resist, so his cousin, the Right Wing Grand Taiji, Garzhu Saiteer, became the leader of the anti-Qing Taijis, and Taijis such as Hailai, Buyantai, Bakulei, and Sabulei all gathered under his banner. Badali was actually very dissatisfied with the Qing court's actions and acquiesced to his cousin's actions.

After that, Huang Taiji mobilized the tribes of Nenkorchin several times to attack the Ming Dynasty. The taijis of the left wing, such as Konggor, Wu Keshan, Sonom, and Manzhu Xili, were eager to join the expedition, while only a few taijis such as Badali on the right wing sent a small number of troops to make up the number. Garzhu Saitel and others did not send any troops and refused to obey Huang Taiji's order. In the eighth year of Tiancong (1634), Huang Taiji ordered Jirgalang to stay in Shengjing and prepare to lead the army to attack the Ming Dynasty. He wrote a strongly worded letter to the tribes of Nenkorchin, asking them to bring troops to join him. Garzhu Saitel and others refused again and hid in Solon with their subordinates. This incident shocked the Qing court and put the military alliance between the Later Jin and Nenkorchin under severe test. Huang Taiji was happy, because he finally found an opportunity to control the tribes of Nenkorchin. While leading the army to camp in Boshuodu, he ordered Badali, Konggor, Wu Keshan and others to kill Garzhu Saitel. The left wing taijis such as Kongguoer and Wu Keshan relied on their marriage to the Qing Dynasty and were not satisfied with the leadership of the right wing. They took the opportunity to send troops to attack Garjusaitel, but Badali was ambiguous because of the kinship of the same clan. After all, they were outnumbered, and the left wing taijis quickly killed Garjusaitel, Hailai, Buyantai, Bakulei, Sablei and other right wing taijis who did not obey the Qing court's order.

Huang Taiji was surprised and announced to the outside world that it was Badali who led his men to kill Galzhu Setel. This time, Badali's prestige was greatly damaged. Not only did the left wing disobey him, but also the Dürburt, Zhalai, Gorlos and other tribes that originally belonged to the right wing no longer supported him. Many taijis of the right wing took their troops and defected to other tribes, which greatly weakened Badali's power. The taijis of Konggor and Wu Keshan on the left wing took the opportunity to deprive the traditional power of the right wing and seized the position of the leader of the Nenkorchin tribes. However, the biggest winner was Huang Taiji, who successfully divided and disintegrated the powerful Nenkorchin tribes, leaving them no longer able to confront the Qing Dynasty. From then on, the relationship between the Nenkorchin tribes and the Qing Dynasty changed from allies to vassals.

Badali was a man without ambitions. He was named Prince Heshuo Tushetu by the Qing court. After his death, his eldest son Bayashulang inherited the throne. Later, Bayashulang died in the war with Weiguo. According to the rules, the throne should be inherited by Bayashulang's eldest son Alashan. But Alashan has always been dissatisfied with the Qing court's practice of suppressing the right wing and supporting the left wing. He has a deep friendship with Lawangdorji, the son of Galzhuseter, who is considered a rebel by the Qing court. After Lawangdorji's death, he secretly took in Lawangdorji's daughter Odunmuqier. Because of doubts about his political stance, after Bayashulang's death, Emperor Shunzhi did not let Alashan succeed to the throne, but let Bayashulang's younger brother Shajin inherit the throne, and only gave Alashan the title of Beile.

"We Mongolians are descendants of the Gray Wolf and the White Deer, and we have never lacked passionate men. Even the Khorchin tribe, which was affiliated with the Qing Dynasty, had heroes like Garzhu Setel!" After listening to Dushhor's introduction, the Great Khan Lianhua sighed repeatedly and said after thinking for a while: "The granddaughter of the righteous man must be treated well, so call her into the account. Alashan has made great contributions in taking in the granddaughter of the righteous man, and he shall be conferred the title of Duke of Zhongguo".

Conferring him the title of Duke in one go was not a whim of Sultan, but the result of careful consideration. He had confiscated so many Khorchin nobles and beiles in one go, which inevitably caused panic among the people. It was necessary to foster a group of loyal forces among the Khorchin nobles. Beile Alashan, who had always been dissatisfied with the Qing court's rule, was a good candidate. Conferring him the title of Duke was equivalent to sending a signal to other Khorchin nobles: as long as they were loyal to David, the court would not treat them unfairly.

Next, he came to visit her. Dushhor was right. The sixteen-year-old Odunmuqier was as bright as the branches of stars, which made the Great Khan feel different. He, who had always been brave, unexpectedly became sympathetic to women. After a night of tenderness, she was named Concubine Kang. Since he wanted to win over the Khorchin people for his own use, he simply gave the two ladies a favor and ordered Alashan, the Duke of Zhongguo, Erdeni, who was demoted to a commoner, Biltahar, the third son of Wu Keshan, and Laosen, the seventh son, to follow Dushhor, the Prince of Khorchin, to conquer the Zhalai and Gorlos tribes. He also said, "No matter who it is, as long as they have made military achievements, I will not hesitate to reward them." (End of this chapter)
