Around this day, in October this year, the Northern Yuan Emperor Timur, who was defeated by Zhu Quan's troops, remained near Lake Baikal and did not return to the steppe south.

The Mongolian grassland in winter is very cold, there is no winter clothing, there is not enough food, rashly winter activities on the grassland is basically looking for death, Zhu Quan encountered heavy snow on the way back to the army, fortunately he has come to the Inner Mongolia grassland, the soldiers insisted on two days and returned to the northernmost fortress of the Ming Dynasty without causing casualties.

Kun Timur and Arutai also prepared winter clothes, but when they were raided by Zhu Quan's troops, everything except the horses under his crotch was lost, and although some horses, cattle and sheep were later recovered, they could only stay near Lake Baikal, and survived this winter with the abundant products here, and then went south in the spring.

Although everyone was near Lake Baikal, the area was very large, and everyone was reluctant to go too far in winter, so until now Kun Timur had found only more than 1,000 subordinates to live on the western shore of Lake Baikal near the later Irkutsk.

When the sun came out on this day, Kun Timur took out all the adult men of these men whom he found, and scattered them to hunt in a group of forty or fifty; Women and children watched the cows, sheep and horses in the camp that had been set up with great difficulty. Although Kun Timur is a great khan, he can't be special in this case, and he personally takes people to hunt.

Most of the animals hibernate in winter, but there are still quite a few species that move in the wild, and their goal is to catch these animals that are still in the wild.

After a while, the hunting team led by Kun Timur himself encountered a deer. Deer are a very common animal in this area, not only do they not hibernate, but they are also large and easy to see.

Kun Timur personally directed the killing of the deer. He didn't dare to continue to approach at this time, so he let the thirty or so people who came with him scatter to surround the deer.

Halfway apart, the deer turned around and started running, not knowing whether it wanted to leave on its own or if it spotted one of them.

Kun Timur immediately shot the arrow that had been attached to his bow; With this as a signal, dozens of arrows were shot at the deer in the middle.

If the deer stops where it is, it will have nine lives gone; But it had already left the spot ahead of time, survived, and after such a fright, it ran faster, running dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.

Kun Timur barely shot another arrow, but failed to hit the deer. Seeing that the deer was about to disappear in front of him, he could only put the bow down and hang it on his body, move his right arm, and lead them to hunt the next animal.

But at this moment, Kun Timur suddenly felt a vibration from the ground. He was a little surprised: 'I'm standing on a big rock, and I can feel the vibration!' That's how many horses are running! ’

He hurriedly jumped down from the stone, and fell to the ground to feel the shaking of the ground; The others also fell to the ground and listened.

"Great Khan, the sound is coming from the southeast, at least two thousand horses are running." One of Timur's guards said.

Is it someone else who has been scattered? But why do they gallop on such a day? Kun Timur secretly guessed in his heart.

The sound of the horses' hooves was getting closer and closer, and soon they were able to see the horses at the front of the team; Kun Timur subconsciously felt that the arrival of these people was not a good thing for him, and wanted to hide in the forest.

But at this moment, suddenly there was a shout: "Great Khan! I am your squire, Ale! These people who rushed over were the men and horses of the Qierjith tribe, who rushed to the rescue after hearing that the Great Khan had been defeated by the people of the Ming Kingdom! Great Khan ,......," the man shouted repeatedly.

When Kun Timur heard this voice, he stopped again. The voice was indeed from his loyal squire, Ale, and the leader of the Birgith tribe, Uruktemur, who had always been very respectful to him, felt that nothing should be wrong.

After a while, thousands of war horses stopped on the road, and a tall strong man turned over and dismounted, and walked over with a dozen people.

Seeing that he had only a dozen men with him, Kun Timur ordered his most loyal guards to put away the swords in their hands, and he himself put the knife into the scabbard and walked towards Uruktemur.

When Uruktemur saw Kun Timur, he immediately knelt down and said, "Uruktemur of the Ministry of Girth has seen His Majesty the Great Yuan Emperor. ”

Kun Timur stretched out his hand to help him up and said with a smile: "You don't have to use the etiquette of the Han people, just use the etiquette of our Mongolians." ”

"Your Majesty is the Great Yuan Emperor, then he is both the Great Khan of the Mongols and the Emperor of the Han Chinese. Now the pseudo-Ming in the south is nothing more than stealing the Central Plains, and His Majesty will be able to return to the Central Plains sooner or later. Uruktemur said.

Although Kun Timur knew that he was patting on the back, he was indeed very comfortable, smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said a few words of encouragement.

"Your Majesty, my Beggar Girth Department is nearby at this time, and I respectfully ask Your Majesty to stop my Beggar Gis Department." Uruktemur said again.

He didn't say that Kun Timur was going to his tribe too. Winter was completely different in the wilderness and in the tribe, although he had not experienced such a hard life before, but it was only a few days in the march and battle, and he had never been in the field for such a long time, he was almost unbearable.

"Since Aiqing is so respectful, I am disrespectful." Kun Timur said with a smile.

Urukt Temur bowed and saluted again, and Kun Timur passed him and walked towards the horse caravan.

He walked up to the most majestic horse, turned to Uruktemur, and said, "I just saw that you were riding a horse?" Give it to me ......"

But at this moment, before Kun Timur could finish speaking, he heard someone shouting: "Great Khan be careful!" ”

Kun Timur looked up and saw an arrow flying towards him, he didn't have time to react, the arrow hit the front in the heart; Kun Timur slowly fell to the ground, his eyes open and blurred, and his mouth opened as if he wanted to say something; But before he could say anything, he couldn't hold it anymore and fell to the ground with his head tilted.

Uruktemur slashed to death a man who was about to rush to kill him with a knife in both hands, shouting: "Kill them all!" His men drew their swords and slashed in all directions, and in a few moments they all fell to the ground, and although they did not all die immediately, they too would soon bleed to death.

Uruktemur looked around and saw that Al, the guard of Kun Timur, was still alive despite the blood flowing from his body, staring at him with wide eyes.

Uruktemur suddenly had a childlike innocence, squatted down and said to Aler, "What do you have to say to me?" ”

"You, you, yes, no, long ago, bag, hide, evil heart, want, want, assassination, Great Khan." Ale said with great difficulty.

"You're right." Uruktemur smiled and said, "I wanted to kill him for a long time." What kind of ability does Kun Timur have, just because he is a descendant of Genghis Khan, he can be a great khan; And those of us who are not descendants of Genghis Khan can't be the Great Khan of Mongolia no matter how capable we are, why! ”

"I killed him today just to know if a person with a foreign surname can be the Great Khan of Mongolia!"

Ale stretched out his hand and pointed at him, as if to say something again, but a lot of blood spurted out of his mouth, and he couldn't hold his head and slammed on the ground, not moving. But until he died, his eyes were too wide to be blinded.

Uruktemur stood up and sighed, "They are all warriors." Then he commanded one of his guards, "Take a hundred men with you, dig a pit here, and bury them all." ”

Then he said in a loud voice: "Warriors of the Beggar Keith Tribe, now follow me to subdue the people of the Great Mongolian Central Horde. After receiving the cheers of the soldiers, he turned on his horse and galloped towards the east.

……

……

On the sixteenth day of the first month, Yunchuan Wei. Yunchuanwei is a guard station located on the grassland of Inner Mongolia, located hundreds of miles northwest of Datong City, near Houshi and Lingel.

This is the first line of the fight against the Mongols, so even during the Chinese New Year, most of the civil and military officials are not allowed to rest and take turns to be on duty at the guard station; Today is the first day of the New Year, but everyone has already come to the guard to take duty.

Yun Chuanwei's commander made Xu Youde sit in his seat, looked at a report in front of him, and said for a while: "There has been some turmoil on the grassland recently, what is the reason for the investigation?" ”

"Not yet," said Qianhu of the local Jinyi Guard, "and now there is only some vague news, presumably that they have another internal strife, and that Kun Timur has been killed; But who killed it and who the current Northern Yuan Emperor is, I don't know. ”

"Then don't report to Your Majesty for the time being, and report to the capital when you have the exact news." Xu Youde said.

"The capital can not report it for the time being, but His Royal Highness the Acting King must know. His Royal Highness is now in charge of the Mountain Selenium Xingdu Division (Datong Capital Division), and I don't know if it's not true. Jin Yi Wei Qianhu said.

"In that case, I will write a letter to inform Your Highness of this matter." Xu Youde thought for a while and said.

He was about to pick up his pen and start writing a letter to the acting king, when suddenly Yunchuan Wei Zhenfu came in with a document with a special mark, and said to Xu Youde: "It is a document from the grassland. ”

Xu Youde stretched out his hand to take the paperwork, and after a few glances, he suddenly laughed out loud.

"What's wrong?" Jinyi Wei Qianhu asked in surprise.

"The reason for the turmoil in the steppe is known. A man named Uruktemur killed Kun Timur and set himself up as Khan; Not only that, but he also revoked the name of the Northern Yuan Kingdom and called himself Mongolia. Xu Youde said.

"Really?" When the commander of the Jinyi Guard said this, he immediately laughed: "Now you can report to Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will definitely be happy to know about this." Hurry up and prepare the fold, and it is best to have His Majesty receive the fold before February. ”

Xu Youde immediately threw aside the paperwork in front of him, grabbed another piece of paper and began to write it to Yun Xi. Halfway through his writing, he suddenly looked at the name of Uruk Timur and frowned, and said, "This name is too difficult to remember, let's change it to another name." "Then he wrote on the fold: 'The Mongol general Guili Chi killed his emperor Kun Timur......
