Chapter 394: Robbing a Woman with Dolgon
On March 17 of the eighth year of Chongzhen, at the junction of Qinggan and Ningxia, south of Tole South Mountain.
The area around Tole Nanshan was originally under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division of the Ming Dynasty, located in Gansu Town, one of the important towns on the nine sides, but since Chahar moved west to Qinghai and frequently invaded the Ming Border, the Ming border army had to withdraw from Gansu Town, and under the command of Hong Chengchou, established a defensive line in the area of Ningxia Town.
Until Lin Dan Khan died violently, the rest of Chahar collapsed, and the Ming border army still retreated in the area of Ningxia Town, still not daring to send troops to recover Gansu Town and even Suzhou Wei.
Because Hong Chengchou was busy dealing with Qinchuan, he had neither the energy nor enough troops to recover Gansu Town.
Therefore, after the death of Lin Dan Khan, there were still several remnants of Chahar wandering in this area, not knowing where to go.
Among them are Lin Dan Khan's two wives, Sutai Da Fu Jin and Tesna Birch Fu Jin, as well as Lin Dan Khan's eldest son Ezhe.
Soon after the death of Lin Dan Khan, Ezhe, who was only thirteen years old, succeeded Chahar Khan and is now leading the central army of Chahar headquarters Wanhu and Hanatumen Wanhu of Sutai to be stationed in Tolitu, south of the Tollnan Mountain.
The eight tribes of Chahar have fallen apart, and there are less than 3,000 clansmen in the hands of Ezhe, Sutai and Tessna, and less than 6,000 capable warriors.
Toller Nanshan can't stay in this place for too long, and when the spring snow melts, when Hong Chengchou can make his moves, he will send troops to deal with them.
They also could not submit to the Ming Dynasty, because during their exile in Qinghai, they invaded the territory of the Ming Dynasty several times and plundered, and they had already formed a great enmity.
There were only two roads in front of them, one was to go north to join the Chechen Khan Shuo base in Khalkha, and the other was to surrender to Houjin.
The leaders of the remnants of the Chahar tribe have been arguing about this for a whole winter, some want to go north to Khalkha and join the Chechen Khan, who is also a descendant of the Golden Family, and some want to go east and surrender to the increasingly powerful Houjin.
Seeing that the spring snow has melted and the weather is getting warmer, I didn't fight for a reason.
It wasn't until April 28, the eighth year of Chongzhen, that Ezhe, Sutai, and the other leaders of the rest of Chahar suddenly discovered that they had been surrounded overnight.
The enemy was a combined army of 12,000 Houjin and Mongols led by the brothers Dolgon and Azig.
Just when the young Ezhe was frightened, and the leaders and clansmen below were in chaos, a guest suddenly came outside the camp, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Sutai, Nan Chu.
Nan Chu had already surrendered to Houjin, and it was on the orders of Dolgon that he came to persuade Ezhe and Sutai to surrender.
Su Tai had long had the intention to return to Houjin, but because of his identity, he didn't dare to persuade Ezhe directly.
Now that Nan Chu came, Su Tai made up his mind and immediately took Nan Chu to see Ezhe.
It didn't take much effort for Nan Chu to convince Ezhe, a young nephew, and Su Tai even took the initiative to offer the jade seal of the Great Yuan Mongol Empire and the Maha Kala Golden Buddha.
With the nod of Ezhe and Sutai, and surrounded by the Houjin army, those leaders who wanted to go north to join the Chechen Khan no longer dared to come out to oppose it.
As Lin Dan Khan's youngest wife and the weakest power in the Eight Great Blessings, Tesna naturally did not dare to oppose Su Tai and Ezhe.
After receiving a clear reply from Ezhe and Sutai, Nanchu was extremely happy and hurried out of the camp of the rest of Chahar, wanting to rush back to tell Dolgon.
At this moment, the Houjin army and the Mongol coalition army outside the encirclement suddenly had a commotion, and the rapid sound of the horn followed suit, mixed with the cheers of many generals.
Something seems to have happened on the outside.
Not long after, on the mountainside of the South Mountain of Tole, not far to the north, a fiery red cavalry slowly appeared, like a fire dragon, which was particularly conspicuous in the green grass and sky, and on the first flag, there was a vigorous "Qin" character written on it.
Seeing this banner, Nan Chu's face suddenly changed.
"Han Chinese? How did the Han army end up here? The Empress Dowager Sutai, who has always been calm, couldn't help but change color.
"Could it be Hong Chengchou?"
"Is there a general surnamed Qin under Hong Chengchou?"
"I don't think so."
"The Han people don't have an army in red armor either."
"That's not Hong Chengchou, it's our general, General Lou annoys Qinchuan Qin."
When everyone in the rest of Chahar was talking, someone next to him suddenly interjected coldly.
"Qin Chuan?"
Everyone was stunned and went against the prestige.
I saw a man dressed as a man who came to everyone at some point.
In the face of everyone's puzzled and vigilant eyes, the man was not afraid, and only respectfully saluted Su Tai and Ezhe, and said, "Keshiket Wanhu Chi'er Mountain Todahai see the Khan, see the Queen Mother." ”
"Todahai?" Su Tai frowned suspiciously.
"Urtai's nephew."
"Oh."
Su Tai suddenly realized.
At this time, a leader of Chahar came out of the crowd, pointed at Todahai and asked sharply, "What do you mean when you just said that Lou Fu Qin Chuan is your general?" ”
Todahai calmly replied: "The Chi'er Mountain Department has served the general as the Khan, and sworn allegiance to the general. ”
"You...... Traitor! ”
"Humph! You betrayed the Great Khan, and you have the audacity to infiltrate our camp? ”
"Come on, take this traitor down."
"Kill him with a knife."
"No, tie him up and offer him to the Fourteen Beylers as a sign of the sincerity of our Chahar submission."
In the face of the many angry leaders and the sweat tent guards approaching step by step, Tuodahai was not afraid, only looked at Su Tai calmly, and said: "Queen Mother, I am the messenger of the great general, killing me will not do any good to the Chahar Department, it will only bring disaster." ”
"You dare to threaten the Queen Mother?"
The leader just now drew the scimitar at his waist with a bang.
Tuo Dahai patted his chest, and then said: "Honorable Great Khan, Honorable Queen Mother, the Jurchens will not bring hope to the Chahar Ministry, and Huang Taiji will not become the lord of the steppe, only our great general can bring prosperity to the Chahar Ministry, and give food and clothing to all the people living on the steppe, and in the near future, there will only be one khan in the steppe." ”
"The Great General will use facts to prove that he is the Khan chosen by Immortal Heaven, the supreme Great Khan of the steppe."
With that, Todahai raised his hand and pointed to the east.
Su Tai and the others turned their heads to look, only to see that the Houjin army, which had originally formed an encirclement in the east, was chaotically approaching the Chinese army in the south, giving way to a large area of smooth road in the east.
Not long after, another army appeared in the east, about six or seven thousand men, all cavalry, but they could line up in a neat queue and approach the Houjin army that had withdrawn to the south.
Seeing this scene, the faces of the leaders of the Chahar couldn't help but become solemn.
It was the neatest cavalry they had ever seen.
Because of the neatness and slaughter, everyone felt a strong sense of oppression, a kind of tension that was about to come.
It was clearly a battle-hardened and well-trained army.
The Houjin army, which originally relied on the southern mountain of Toller to encircle the Chahar battalion on three sides, has taken the initiative to abandon the encirclement, and even the troops from the west have all withdrawn to the south, and under the reprimand of the generals, they have hastily arranged their formations, looking like they are facing a great enemy.
The cavalry coming from the east soon stopped, and confronted the Houjin army from afar.
The Chahar battalion, which was originally heavily surrounded, was right in the middle of the two sides.
In this battle, the winning side can take the rest of the Chahar with them.
Sutai didn't like this feeling very much, this feeling of being reduced to a trophy.
"Sister, hurry up and bring your people over to join Lord Belle, while it's still too late." Nan Chu, who had not spoken, saw that the situation was not right, so he hurriedly persuaded Su Tai.
But Su Tai didn't say a word, only stared closely at the banner with the word "Qin" on Mount Tollnan.
"Sister, it's too late for Emperor Guan's army to kill me."
"Sister......
Su Tai suddenly raised his hand to interrupt Nan Chu's words, and said four words with a resolute face: "Stick to the camp!" ”
She wants to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.
