Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

The city of Chuoer on the west bank of the Nen River is called a city, but it is actually just a small earthen wall. Gushan Beizi Seling of the Zhalai tribe led his people to camp here. Back then, the ancestor of the right wing of the Nen Horqin tribe, Bodidala, divided the pastureland among his sons with the river as the boundary. The ninth and youngest son, Amin, was given the Chuoer River basin west of the Nen River, and the Zhalai tribe was named after him.

It was already September, and the weather was getting colder. Se Ling was unwilling to stay in the warm tent, but he came to the city wall with his guards to wait and see. He was waiting for Li Ge, the deputy general manager of the Qing Dynasty's military equipment bureau, to send someone to contact him. Some time ago, Li Ge wrote to say that he had persuaded Taben, the lord of the Jirige City of the Durbert tribe, to find an opportunity to capture Se Leng and others who rebelled against the Qing Dynasty. He asked him and Zharbu, the Duke of the Guoerlos tribe, to be ready and wait for his messenger. Once the messenger arrived, he immediately sent troops to the Durbert tribe to help Taben succeed. He had to be anxious. Unlike the Guoerlos tribe, the Zhalai tribe's pasture was located on the west bank of the Nen River. After the Khorchin tribe was pacified by the Wei State, their west and south were full of enemies. Once the Durbert tribe on the east bank of the Nen River also surrendered to the Wei State, they would be cut off from escaping to Ningguta and could only move north to the bitter and cold land where the Solon barbarians lived. Not only was the environment difficult, but they were also likely to be robbed by the Solon barbarians. In addition, the frequent invasions of the Russians made the risk of migrating north even greater. Therefore, suppressing the rebellion of the Dörbet tribe was equivalent to preserving the route for eastward migration to Ningguta, which was of great significance to the Jalaid tribe.

Se Ling wanted to wait for Li Ge's messenger on the city wall, but it was just a psychological hope. He didn't really think anyone would come today, but a group of people and horses came from a remote place and galloped towards this side. Bei Ziye showed his joy and said, "Quick, open the city gate and welcome the messenger of Li Ge's deputy chief steward."

However, Changshengtian played a joke on him. The one who came was not Li Ge's envoy, but David Zhongguo Gong Alashan and his entourage.

Seeing this man, Se Ling became suspicious and invited him into the city and asked, "Alashan Beile, why are you here when you are not staying in the Right Wing Middle Banner of Khorchin? I heard that Weiguo is purging the princes and beile of Nen Khorchin. Are you also among those being purged and are you here to avoid disaster?"

"Haha, Great Khan Lianhua hates the Mongols who flatter the Qing Dynasty and attack their own people the most. The princes and nobles of the left wing of Nenkhorchin, such as Manzhu Xili, Wu Keshan and others, have been confiscated their property and demoted to commoners because they were willing to be running dogs of the Qing Dynasty. But our right wing Taiji has been suppressed by the Qing Dynasty in these years, not only are they fine, but they have been promoted. Dushihuoer of the right wing rear banner of Khorchin was granted the title of Khorchin Prince, Seleng of the Durbert Banner was granted the title of Henjirige Prince, and even an incompetent person like me was granted the title of Duke of Zhongguo. I'm not here to avoid disaster, but to help you avoid disaster," Alashan laughed.

"How dare you betray the emperor's grace, rebel against the Qing Dynasty and surrender to the Wei Dynasty!" Se Ling sneered repeatedly, but kept stealing glances at Alashan's face.

"My dear Beizi, you know how the Qing Dynasty dealt with our Nen Khorchin right wing, and you still talk about betraying the emperor's grace! How did the Great Taiji Garjusaitel die, have you forgotten it?" Hearing the words "betraying the emperor's grace", Alashan couldn't help but get excited and shouted: "Do you know how the Great Khan Lianhua evaluated the Great Taiji Garjusaitel? He said, 'We Mongolians are descendants of the Gray Wolf and the White Deer, and we have never lacked passionate men. Even the Khorchin tribe that depends on the Qing Dynasty has heroes like Garjusaitel!' He also praised me for taking in Garjusaitel's granddaughter Odunmuqier, and conferred her the title of Loyalty Duke, and took pity on Odunmuqier's loneliness, took her into the harem, and conferred her the title of Kangpin. Isn't such a hero worth serving?"

After hearing this, Se Ling's expression changed and he remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, A La Shan shouted, "Se Ling, I just said that I came to help you escape from disaster, and it was not an empty promise. You may not know yet, but the Khan has ordered Dushihuoer and Se Leng to lead 20,000 Khorchin and Durbet warriors to enter Durbet Banner to cut off your retreat to Ningguta. Now you are surrounded by enemies on the east, west and south, where can you run? Do you want to move north and let the Solon barbarians and the Rakshasas rob all your livestock?"

"I heard that not all the Taijis of the Durbet tribe want to surrender. I'm afraid Se Leng alone cannot represent the entire Durbet tribe, right?" Although hit so hard by Alashan's words, Se Leng did not give in and retorted stubbornly.

"Humph! Prince Henjirige's decision was supported by all the taijis of the Durbert tribe. The lord of Henjirige City, Taben, also tied up Li Ge, deputy general manager of the Qing Dynasty's Armament Bureau, and his men and handed them over to Prince Henjirige to show his sincerity."

"What!" This time Se Ling was shocked. After being stunned for a long time, he asked hesitantly: "If I surrender to Wei, I wonder what title I can get?" "If you surrender earlier, you will naturally get a prominent title. But if you surrender at this point, you can only get a third-class earl. However, David attaches great importance to military merit. Next, he will definitely attack the Qing army in Ningguta. If he can make military achievements, his title can still be promoted." After A Lashan finished speaking, he was not in a hurry and stared at him calmly.

"Oh! Thank you for coming to advise me without taking the risk. Now that things have come to this, I am willing to lead my people back to Wei, and I only ask that the Khan treat the Jalaid tribe well," Seleng sighed.

Seeing him like this, A La Shan was delighted and said with a smile, "In fact, there is a way to raise your title to a higher level."

"Oh, what method?" Se Ling was cheered up.

"Come with me to persuade the Gorlos tribe to surrender."
-
Among the various Mongolian tribes, the Gorlos tribe is an ancient tribe, once as famous as the Qiyan tribe where Genghis Khan was. According to legend, the ancestor of Gorlos fell in love with a goddess and gave birth to three sons. This aroused the wrath of the heavenly court, who ordered the three sons to be thrown into the human world. The mother of heaven could not bear it and entrusted them with gold. These three sons are the ancestors of the Gorlos, Hongjilat and Yiqilasi tribes. Later, Genghis Khan's younger brother Jochi Hesar conquered the Gorlos tribe. During the Ming Dynasty, Ubash, the sixteenth-generation grandson of Jochi Hesar, the right wing taiji of Nenhorqin and the 16th-generation grandson of Jochi Hesar, ruled the tribe. Until now, the tribe has been organized into two flags by the Qing court: the Gorlos rear flag is ruled by Zarbu, the Duke of Zhenguo, and the Gorlos front flag is ruled by Angha, the Duke of Fuguo. Because the pasture of the front flag is adjacent to the left wing middle flag of Horqin where the Weiguo army is stationed, in order to avoid the Weiguo army, Angha led his people to move from the south bank of the Nenjiang River to the pasture of the rear flag on the north bank of the Nenjiang River. The two flags combined, their momentum was greatly enhanced, but the surrender of their neighboring Duerbert flag made them feel great pressure.

With a flat face, handsome cheekbones, and a brave and upright spirit between his eyebrows, Zarbu, the Duke of Guoguo of the Guoerlos Banner, was in deep thought. A few days ago, he received a letter of persuasion from the Great Khan of Lotus. The letter was not long, but the words were simple, "You have nowhere to run. Mongols don't fight Mongols. Bring your people to me and you will be rich and noble." Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the situation in the south of the desert had collapsed, and it was difficult to stop the Wei army's attack. But as a warrior, he was unwilling to surrender without a fight. So, he was very hesitant.

"Eqige, Alashan Beile and Seleng Beile are here," he was thinking when his son Andashri came in to report.

"Oh, it seems that there is news from Deputy Chief Li Ge, come in quickly," Zarbu was alert. He thought that it was Deputy Chief Li Ge of the Arms Bureau who contacted Se Ling, and Se Ling came to discuss with him about sending troops to help Henjirige City Lord Taben to quell the rebellion and take charge of Durbert's whip.

As a result, it turned out to be a joke played by Changshengtian. Alashan and Seling actually surrendered to Wei. Especially the surrender of the Zhalai tribe made the Gorlos tribe fall into a desperate situation of isolation and helplessness.

"Duke, we are all from the right wing of Nenkorchin, why do we have to go to war with each other?" "Yes, Duke, if not for yourself, you have to think about the entire Gorlos tribe" ... The two of them kept persuading each other.

"Don't say anything more, I surrender," Zarbu smiled bitterly and waved his hand, ordering his son to invite Angha, the auxiliary state duke of the front banner of Gorlos, to come to discuss the matter. Although it was called a discussion, there was nothing to discuss at this point, and the two of them happily led their people to become subjects of the Kingdom of David. (End of this chapter)
