Chapter 49: Korqin

Horqin King's Tent, the huge royal flag kept shaking with the cold wind, although it was early spring, but the heavy snow in the middle of winter had not dissipated, and the air was still filled with cold air.

Outside the camp, heavily armed guards patrolled the tent with neat footsteps everywhere on the snow, while outside the tent, guards in different costumes guarded the tent door tightly.

In the king's tent, a scorching bonfire was burning, and above the bonfire was a cauldron, in which the whole lamb bones were boiling, and the slave girls on the side were constantly making soup for everyone present.

In the middle of the big tent, a man of about thirty years old was sitting sideways, and several beautiful women were waiting carefully. This man was none other than Zhul Khan, and he was flanked by the Great Khans of the Mongol tribes.

Horqin was originally an inconspicuous small tribe among the Mongolian tribes, but he was the first Mongolian tribe to surrender to the Jurchens, with the continuous marriage between Horqin and the Jurchens, coupled with the deliberate support of Huang Taijiwei, Horqin suddenly grew into one of the most powerful tribes among the Mongolian tribes.

As the Jurchens gradually conquered the Mongol tribes, Korqin suddenly became the Jurchen spokesperson of the Mongol tribes, and every military campaign was organized by Horqin.

This time to conquer the Ming Dynasty, the Mongolian tribes sent out a full 100,000 people, in addition to soldiers and horses, all the grain, grass, gold and silver offerings, but also through Horqin every year to transport.

"What do you mean, Jul Khan? What does it mean that our tribe must contribute 10,000 sheep this year? "Khalkha Khan Serev stood up and took the map of the contribution that Jurkhan had just distributed to them.

The contribution chart clearly lists the number of contributions of each tribe, and the Great Khans of the tribes are dissatisfied with these indicators, especially the Khalkha Khan Selev.

In this year's cold winter, their Khalkha was the most severely affected, and originally Serev wanted to apply for less in this year's offerings, but now it seems that not only is it not less, but it is more than before, which makes Serev how can he accept it.

Not only Serev, but also other tribes are also complaining, although their damage this time is not as serious as that of Khalkha, but they also have a lot of losses, and they are in the spirit of giving less as much as they can.

"Haven't we already handed over this year's offering? Why again? Erut Khan Jigeru was also very dissatisfied.

Zhu Erhan picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, looking at the two of them with slanted eyes, "This is an edict from His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, if you have any opinions, you can go to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty." ”

"Besides, this time it's a special contribution to the war, it's to support the Qing warriors' conquest, why don't you want to come out? Or do you want to wait for His Majesty Prince Rui to come and pick it up in person? ”

The originally noisy crowd suddenly quieted down when they heard the name of Prince Rui, the prestige of Dolgon that they had personally understood, the cup of Dolgon of Chahar's army was beaten like urine, it can be said that the whole Mongolia could not find a warrior who could resist Dolgon.

"Zhulhan, don't use the name of Dolgon to scare us, I don't know what you think, how much of the materials we paid tribute went into your Korqin's mouth, don't think we don't know." Serev did not buy Zhulhan's face at all, and exposed Zhulhan's shortcomings in public.

In fact, it is no secret that the Korqin people have done things in the materials they have contributed, but no one has pointed it out for so many years, and now it is pointed out by Serev in front of so many people, and Zhulhan is immediately furious.

"Serev, what do you mean." Jul Khan was so angry that he slammed his glass on the table.

With a furious slap from Julhan, the guards outside the tent rushed in, their cutlass aimed at Serev.

"Bastard, Jul Khan, do you think Ben Khan is afraid of you? Come. Serev shouted.

Soon, footsteps sounded outside the tent, and Serev's personal soldiers quickly rushed in and confronted Zhulhan's personal soldiers.

"Bastard, someone." Seeing that Serev dared to use a knife against himself, Zhurkhan shouted, and more guards rushed in, after all, this is the Khan's court in Korqin, and Zhulhan's guards are far superior to Serev.

"Okay, okay, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." As soon as they saw that the two of them were about to make a move, the Great Khan of the other Mongolian tribes in the big tent was afraid that he would be implicated in the fight, so he hurriedly started to make peace.

Seeing that so many Mongol Great Khans persuaded peace, Zhu Erhan was not easy to save face for so many people, waved his hand, and the guards put away their swords and guns and retreated.

"Hmph." Selev did not buy Zhulhan's face, and turned around with his men and walked out of the big tent in a huff.

In the Mongolian steppe, in a tribe, Zhu Youzhen is camping here with an army of 50,000 troops, here is a tribe they have just conquered, and all the men, women and children of the tribe have fallen under the butcher's knife.

These days, Zhu Youzhen has swept away a lot of Mongolian tribes, although there is no problem in food supply, but Zhu Youzhen still feels that it is too slow.

This kind of slaughter-like sweeping did not have much effect, the Mongols were scattered as a nomadic tribe was too scattered, and the defeat of such a tribe, Zhu Youzhen did not know how much time it would take, and most importantly, it could not shock the Mongols. Therefore, how to change the way of fighting these days has become a major difficulty for Chongzhen.

"Report, Your Majesty, a group of Mongols is found fighting ahead." As a later generation, Zhu Youzhen attached the most importance to the defense of the troops, and sent a large number of scouts.

"Mongols? Let's go, let's see. Zhu Youzhen turned over and got on his horse, and the eighteen horsemen of Yanyun behind him followed closely.

Following the scout's guidance, Zhu Youzhen saw the Mongol fight that the scout said.

A large group of Mongolian soldiers were constantly chasing the Mongols in front, and as the pursuers continued to shoot, the Mongols running in front kept falling off their horses.

Although he didn't know why these two Mongols were fighting, Zhu Youzhen deeply felt that this was an opportunity, and immediately ordered his Yanyun Eighteen Cavalry to launch an attack on the pursuing Mongols with a thousand Guanning Iron Cavalry.

The Mongols who were being pursued were none other than Serev, who had come out of the court of the Korqin Khan.

Serev was accompanied by Erut Khan Tigelu, and the two of them left Korqin under the escort of their own soldiers, but they were suddenly attacked by the Korqin people on the way.

The two scattered and fled under the protection of his own soldiers, and along the way, Serev's personal soldiers died in battle to protect him.

Although Serev did not know why the sudden appearance of the cavalry wanted to save him, it was enough to know that it was not the enemy.
