Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

“Are these the heads of Prince Balin Sebuteng and the Pseudo-Qing Princess? This Boduohe is really cruel. It would have been fine if he had just killed the two of them, but why did he kill all their sons? Amitabha, well-meaning~well-meaning~” After seeing the heads delivered by the fifth prince, Prince Zhao Biligenda and the report on the situation of the four tribes in Xila Wendur Mountain, since they were the incarnations of Guru Padmasambhava after all, Sultan felt compassion and chanted “Amitabha” and “well-meaning~well-meaning”.

"Great Khan, I feel that what Boduohe did was not only cruel, but also meant to show his loyalty to you. He killed the pseudo-emperor's sister and husband, which meant he made a mortal enemy of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty and cut off his own retreat. From now on, he can only be loyal to me, David. This move seems reckless, but it is actually brilliant. He has even cut off his retreat. If we don't reward him heavily, how can we reward him for his merit?" Bobei, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge and the Minister of Rites, saw through Boduohe's thoughts at a glance.

"Great Khan, Bodo and this man are insidious and cunning. On the one hand, they made an agreement with Sebuten to reject David together, and on the other hand, they betrayed Sebuten for wealth and fame. Such people must not be reused." Harahuri, the right vice minister of the Ministry of War, is an upright person and does not like vicious people.

Sultan nodded. It was clear in the letter written by Xiao Wuzi that after Boduohe killed the whole family of Sebuten, he took the opportunity to annex the population and livestock of the Balin tribe. When he accepted the surrender, he found that the Balin tribe, which originally had more than 30,000 people, had only a few thousand people left. About 20,000 people were annexed by the Ongniud tribe where Boduohe was, and thousands of people were embezzled by the Alukhorchin tribe. The Ongniud tribe was greatly strengthened because of this. In the letter, his son vaguely expressed his worry that Boduohe would become too powerful after his strength increased. After reading this letter, the God of War of Weilat was very pleased. Xiao Wuzi really grew up and saw the problem clearly. Boduohe was indeed a jackal and difficult to control. However, one thing was overlooked. This kind of person has no feelings, but respects strength. As long as my David has strong soldiers and horses, he will be more obedient than sheep. There is nothing to worry about at this time.

"Mr. Hu, what do you think?" Sultan looked at another trusted adviser, the Left Censor-in-Chief Hu Lianqi.

"Your Majesty, everyone in the world knows about Boduo's killing of the pseudo-Qing princess and her husband, the surrendered Wei. If you don't reward him generously, who will be willing to submit to David in the future? As for this person's treacherous and vicious nature, there are plenty of ways to suppress him in the future, so there is no need to rush," Hu Lianqi suggested.

"Good!" Sultan made a decision and ordered Boduohe to be the Prince of Wengniute, his cousin Souse to be the second-class Wengniute Left Wing Earl, Chuyi to be the second-class Alukorqin Earl, and Sangjiabu, who was forced to surrender, to be the third-class Zalut Left Wing Earl, and Sanggar to be the third-class Zalut Right Wing Earl. He also ordered that the four tribes of Alukorqin, Wengniute, Balin, and Zalut gathered in the Xila Wenduer Mountain be organized into four thousand-household prefectures, return to their respective grazing grounds, and be under the jurisdiction of Zhaowudadu Qianhufu, the Southern Desert Ten Thousand Households Prefecture. In view of the fact that almost all the taijis of the Balin tribe were killed, he ordered that the Balin Qianhufu be registered as a civilian, no longer set up hereditary titles, and be directly governed by Zhaowudadu Qianhufu. In order to make up for the large number of people robbed from the Balin tribe, 300 households were drawn from the left wing of Khorqin, which had already been registered as a civilian, and were incorporated into the Balin Qianhufu.

On the surface, the Great Khan tolerated the behavior of the Ongniud and Alukhorchin tribes in plundering people and livestock and strengthening their own strength, but there is no such thing as a free meal in the world. After conferring the title, he immediately wrote to the Ongniud County Prince Boduohe, the second-class Ongniud Left Wing Bosuse, the second-class Alukhorchin Bochuyi, the third-class Zalut Left Wing Bosangjiabu, and the third-class Zalut Right Wing Bosanggar, asking them to bring the elite of the tribe to join Shenyang. In particular, in the letter to Boduohe, he emphasized, "I am waiting for your army in the Khorchin grassland, don't disappoint me." Without saying too much, the phrase "don't disappoint me" has already hinted clearly that if you bring less people and horses, I will be disappointed.

After seeing the letter, the newly-granted taijis did not dare to neglect it. Boduohe sent out 6,000 warriors from the Wengniute tribe, Chuyi sent out 2,000 archers from the Aru Horqin tribe, and Sangjiabu sent out 3,000 warriors from the Zarut tribe. After gathering these troops, the number of Zhao Wang Biligendalai's subordinates increased from 10,000 to 21,000, and they returned to the Horqin grassland from the Xila Wenduer Mountain in a mighty force.

Almost at the same time when Prince Biligendar of Zhao came to deliver the victory report, Prince Dushihuoer of Khorchin and Prince Seleng of Henjirige also submitted memorials, saying that Seling, the Gushan Beizi of the Zhalaid tribe, Zharbu, the Zhenguogong of the Gorlos Hou Banner, and Angha, the Fuguogong of the Gorlos Qian Banner, were all willing to surrender, and requested that these people be granted titles. They especially mentioned the contribution of Prince Zhongguo Alashan in persuading them to surrender.

"Okay~Okay~I gave Alashan the title of Duke of Zhongguo out of pity for him being suppressed by the Qing Dynasty. I didn't expect him to be such a capable person, and he surrendered the Zhalai and Gorlos tribes for me without bloodshed! Reward! He deserves a reward!" Sultan called out repeatedly, but what kind of reward could he give? He could not be made a king right after being made a Duke, otherwise the throne of the Kingdom of David would be too easy to obtain! After thinking about it, he realized that if he could not make a living person a king, he could make a dead person a king. He posthumously conferred the title of Prince of Nen Korchin on Alashan's father, Bayasi Hulang, and gave Alashan 20 camels, 100 horses, 100 cattle, and 1,000 sheep. He also conferred the title of second-class Zhalai Tebo on Seleng, second-class Gorlosbo on Zarbu, and third-class Ulan Zhalhabo on Angha. Dushihuoer, Seleng, and all the generals under his command were rewarded.

In order to concentrate troops to annihilate the remaining Qing troops in the north, he ordered Dushihuoer, Seleng, Seling and Zhaerbu to lead their troops to join him on the Horqin grassland. To show his loyalty, Seleng mobilized all his tribes, including 13,000 warriors from the Durburt tribe, Zhaerbu 4,000 soldiers from the Gorlos tribe, and Seling 2,000 warriors from the Zhalai tribe. Together with the 4,000 Horqin warriors under Dushihuoer, the army increased from 7,000 to 23,000 and returned to the Horqin grassland in a grand manner.

While sending his men to pacify the Mongolian tribes that still depended on the Qing Dynasty, the Great Khan Lianhua was not idle. He ordered the chiefs of the southern desert, Babai and Tumenbatu, to speed up the construction of Khorchin City, and trained the young and strong men of the Khorchin tribe and the captured prisoners of war into an army, increasing the number of soldiers from 28,000 to 38,000. Soon, the 21,000 soldiers and horses of Zhao Wang Biligenda and the 23,000 soldiers of Dushihuoer, Seleng, Seling, and Zharbu returned to the Khorchin Left Wing Middle Banner, and the total number of soldiers of the guard increased to 82,000.

Thinking of the two armies he led in the Northern Expedition to the south of the desert, which totaled only 35,000 people, and now the number has more than doubled, Great Khan Lianhua couldn't help but sigh in his heart that fighting on the grassland is easier than advancing into the Central Plains! When attacking Beijing, he actually occupied a lot of territory, but the number of troops became fewer and fewer, while when attacking the grassland, the number of troops increased. In the final analysis, the Kingdom of David was a country established by the Oirat Mongols, who shared the same language and ethnicity as the Mongols in the south of the desert. Once the Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert were defeated, they could become a stable source of troops for him, but it was difficult to get the Han people in the Central Plains to join his army. With his heart surging, he picked up his pen and wrote a poem:

"Strong Grass"

The autumn is thick with the lush green grass.
A heroic figure.

Birth and death are common things.
The precious sword cuts down the country and makes it prosperous.

Gray Wolf and White Deer is the name of my clan.
The war is only for the unification of the nine states.

Leaving a name in history is not about hegemony,
A life full of ups and downs. (End of this chapter)
