Spring on the grassland is the most difficult time, and the forage and food accumulated last year are almost used up in winter.

New grass has not yet grown, and the herdsmen who have just stepped out of their homes have not yet stretched their muscles after a winter.

Horses are not fat, people are not strong, it is the time of year when it is weaker.

The leader of the Oirat Mongol tribes, gathered in the big tent of the leader of the Heshute Khanate, and also the leader of the alliance, Gushi Khan, who was very famous in later generations, is still the son of Batur Huntaiji, a tribal leader under him, but the strength of this Dzungar tribe is getting stronger and stronger, and the alliance leader is becoming more and more disrespectful.

There were thirteen chiefs in the tent, all of whom were led by Gushi Khan, and in front of them was a roasted lamb, which was sprinkled with salt and eaten directly.

Gushi Khan was not only the political leader of the whole of Qinghai and Tibet, but also a military leader, and he was also religiously respected.

In the second year after the Manchus entered the customs, he became a vassal and joined the Manchus with a vast territory. This move was to ease the contradictions with the Manchus, so that they could concentrate on dealing with the aggression of the Khalkha Mongols and Tsarist Russia.

Later, the Northern Expeditionary Army played a triumphant song all the way, and Gushi Khan saw that things were not good, and broke off relations with the Manchus.

Now the old man, sitting at the head of the tent, his hands were already shaking, and he could not hold the knife that cut the flesh, but needed the servants to cut it into thin strips and put it before him.

Many of the leaders in the tent did not hide the contempt in their eyes, and the strong were respected here. Although Gushi Khan is a descendant of Genghis Khan, he cannot resist aging.

Gu Shi Khan tried not to eat meat, his teeth had fallen out, in fact, the meat he was eating now was fed to him by his wife and concubine after chewing it, as well as the fine porridge brought by the Han merchants.

Opening his cloudy eyes, Gu Shihan said in a trembling voice: "Batur Huntaiji, you Dzungar Department have been too showy recently. The two monsters of the Hua Dynasty and Tsarist Russia are fighting beside you, and if you sit idly by, it will be easy for us to bring disaster to Oirat Mongolia. ”

Batur Hui, who was cutting meat, raised his head in surprise, looked at the old man with a wrinkled face and eye sockets full of eye droppings, chewed a mouthful of mutton, and said with a smile: "What does the alliance leader think, what should Batur Hui do?" ”

"Of course, it is to find a strong party and call the minister a tribute, so that we will have one more protector and one less strong enemy."

Batur Hun laughed fiercely and said: "I have defeated Tsarist Russia three times and the Kazakh Khanate twice, and our Dzungar Department does not need the protection of a strong country, let alone pay tribute to others. In my opinion, that is the act of a coward. ”

Gu Shi Khan's body trembled violently, he led the people to the Manchu Qing in order to protect himself, and Taiji's words undoubtedly regarded him as a coward.

Taiji now doesn't take this old alliance leader seriously, in his opinion, Tsarist Russia and Dahua are at war, they have a great chance to take advantage of the opportunity to rise, and the two sides will definitely frantically woo him this spring. As the absolute overlord of Moxi, his position is too important, and the two sides will have to cross the cold Mobei deep in the no-man's land for a decisive battle without passing through him.

"We, the Mongols, it's time to rise again, both the Tsarist and the Han have once prostrated at our feet, the great Genghis Khan has conquered all the lands he can reach, while his descendants are instigating me, a valiant leader of the Yum, to kiss the shoes of the enemy and submit to them."

Baturhun stood up and gave an impassioned speech, listening to the blood of the Mongols, when a soldier opened the curtain and knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Chief, it's not good! ”

Batur Hui, who was giving a speech, was interrupted, very unhappy, and scolded in a deep voice with a black face: "What's the matter? ”

"Chief, the army of the Hua Dynasty has suddenly attacked our territory, and now the war has begun."

After the deathly silence, the alliance leader Gu Shi Khan patted his thigh and laughed, the retribution came so quickly, this old man who was about to die no longer cared about the general trend, he only felt very happy in his heart.

First the anger after being humiliated, and then the hilarious laughter when there was a contrast, Gu Shi Khan, who was in his old age, was in his big tent, laughing and laughing, and suddenly his head drooped, and he died...

Everyone rushed up to him, holding his body, to confirm that the leaders of the whole of Tibet, Xinjiang, and Qinghai were indeed dead.

Gushi Khan's life, worthy of the word hero, he was thirteen years old when he led the army to defeat 40,000 "Guogar" (*** teaching soldiers), Ming Wanli 34 years his biological mother Ahai Hatun died, Gushi Khan poured his family property, widely spread charity, for the mother of the excess, won the support of the people. In the same year, the Khalkha Mongols fought with the Erut tribes, and he skillfully mediated the dispute between the two tribes. Therefore, on behalf of the Gelug sect (Yellow Sect) in Tibetan Buddhism, the leader of the Khalkha Mongolian tribe, the third Khaltuktu Gyalco, and the Khalkha Mongolian tribe jointly bestowed on him the title of "Great Great Teacher".

In the fifteenth year of Chongzhen's reign, he entered Tibet, destroyed the Zangba Khan, who was the enemy of the Yellow Sect, seized the local power in Tibet, and vigorously supported the Yellow Sect.

The hero Chi Twilight is just a weak old man, and he didn't expect it to end in this way, Taiji Baturhui of the Dzungar Department rolled his eyes and raised his voice: "It is already a secret that everyone knows that the Chinese covet the grassland, and the entire Khalkha Mongolia has been annexed by them to become Jingbei Province, and now they are shooting artillery on the land of our Oirat Alliance." The old alliance leader received a call from the Buddha, and the Buddha recruited him at this time, so that we could set up another alliance leader to jointly resist the invasion of the Chinese.

What is the fate of the leaders of the Khalkha Mongol tribes, you have also heard of the fate of Chechnya and other Mobei Khanates, you can see with your own eyes, if we do not unite, it will be the next piece of meat, which will be cut and eaten by the Chinese, and we will lose our steppe and herdsmen, and lose the status and glory of the leader. ”

The Dzungar tribe has developed rapidly recently, and its strength is superior to that of other tribes, and many small tribes actually follow his lead.

Now hearing Batur Hun's extremely incendiary words, everyone has their own judgment, and they unanimously believe that it is impossible for the Chinese to give up the expansion of territory.

In this case, a strong man is indeed needed to lead everyone to resist, and Batur Hun and his Dzungar Ministry should not give in.

In the big tent of the old alliance leader Gushi Khan, in front of his corpse, the remaining twelve leaders supported Baturhun as the new alliance leader, commanding all the members of the Oirat alliance to resist the Chinese army.

After a whole year of repairs, the million-strong army in Jingbei was finally unsheathed.

This battle pinned everyone's hopes, and everyone was full of self-confidence, from the court to the army, the optimism of victory spread wildly.

The spring breeze in Moxi was colder than the north wind in the south of the Yangtze River, and wearing armor made of animal skins and wrapped in cotton clothes, the Jingbei army took the lead in crossing the border.

Xia Wanchun's tactics were to take advantage of the numerical advantage and advance layer by layer, he had been in the desert for a long time and understood the combat style here.

Xia Wanchun held his sword and straightened his chest, and many people said that he was more and more like His Majesty when he fought in the war. He can laugh and scold you, but the law is strict, and the soldiers of the three armies are killed.

When Hou Xuanyan was in the barracks, sitting by the bonfire and spitting and blowing the conch, he did not doubt his prestige.

Xia Wanchun followed Hou Xuanyan to fight in the north and south, ran almost all the main battlefields, and finally grew into a general who could take charge of himself under the cleansing of gunpowder smoke and sand.

Seal the wolf? The champion Hou Huo went to the sick and only defeated the Xiongnu, and now the entire grassland will become the territory of the Hua Dynasty...

The merits of the ancients should not only become a miracle to be admired by future generations, but should be the goal of catching up.

The Jingbei Army, which was spread all over the mountains, formed a compact front from Wulianghai to Hami, preparing to sweep the entire Dzungaria from east to west.

Historically, there have been many powerful empires built by nomadic peoples, who often have a characteristic, "their rise and their death", like the wind.

Dzungaria should be regarded as the empire established by the last rising nomads, if it were not for Hou Xuanyan to open up the desert, they would dominate Central Asia, counter Tsarist Russia, and fight on all sides to suppress the Manchu Qing for a hundred years.

Nomadic empires had a fatal flaw, they had to have a strong leader, and in later history, with the death of the last male lord, Gardantse, Dzungaria went into decline.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty, which occupied the Central Plains, was different, the Central Plains Dynasty had a deep heritage and endless stamina, even if it was suppressed, as long as it did not perish, it would turn over sooner or later.
