Although the Mongolian steppe is vast, the news spreads very quickly. As soon as Zhu Hongsan left Zhangjiakou, thousands of miles away in the Horqin right-wing central banner, that is, Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia in later generations, Wu Keshan, the prince of Horqin Zhuoliktu of Mongolia, received news that Zhu Hongsan, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who had caused heavy losses to the Horqin tribe, was finally going to attack the Mongolian subordinates.

Wu Keshan, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, knew too well, when Wu Keshan responded to the call of his sister and son-in-law Shunzhi, and ordered one of his sons to lead 200,000 Mongolian coalition troops into the customs. In the Northern Expedition a few years later, Wu Keshan lost all his old roots, if it weren't for the great business of the Horqin tribe and the many small tribes to which it belonged, the Horqin tribe was likely to become a second-rate tribe on the grassland.

When the Manchu Qing Dynasty fell, Wu Keshan's cheap son-in-law Shunzhi fled to the Horqin Department, Wu Keshan had already made a plan, and if he couldn't do it, he would flee north with his subordinates, and the farther away from the Central Plains Dynasty, the better.

But just when Wu Keshan was about to escape, the Ming Dynasty government sent a messenger and explained in detail to Wu Keshan the intention of the Ming Dynasty government, that is, to be good-neighborly and friendly with Mongolia and prepare for the joint development of the Mongolian steppe. Of course, Wu Keshan is not a time-traveler in later generations, and he doesn't know the hypocrite practice of the Celestial Dynasty in later generations, so Wu Keshan let go of his heart after learning that the Ming Dynasty was not ready to use force against him, after all, escaping north is a way, but Mobei is very cold, and there is a comfortable life in Monan.

Zhu Hongsan's policy of befriending the Horqin Ministry regardless of his previous suspicions was very right, because although the Horqin Department suffered heavy losses in the Guannei, after all, the shelf was still there, and Mongolia was not in the Guannei, and he was fighting with others at the door of Mongolia's house, and Zhu Hongsan was not sure of this at that time. In addition to these, the most important point is that at that time, Zhu Hongsan was sending Zhao Guodong to recover Liaodong. You must know that the station of the Horqin Department is in the Baicheng, Tongliao, and Changchun areas of the later generations, and the entire flank of the northeast is exposed to the threat of Horqin, if Wu Keshan wants to find some trouble for Zhu Hongsan, it will be much more difficult to recover the northeast.

However, the Mongols have passed the peak of the golden age, and the entire tribe no longer has the genius of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan. Therefore, after receiving the safety guarantee of the Ming Dynasty emperor, he immediately dispelled the idea of escaping, and at the same time watched the Ming army regain the northeast by his side.

Wu Keshan was a good neighbor and friendly with the Ming Dynasty, but his hairy son-in-law Shunzhi didn't think so. Although Shunzhi is not as powerful as his father and grandparents, he is also a wise man. Shunzhi and Zhu Hongsan have been fighting for many years, so they naturally know what contract and guarantee are similar to wiping farts * stock paper in the eyes of which bastard emperor, and when it is useful, take it out and use it, and throw it into the toilet if it is useless, Shunzhi has suffered too much loss on Zhu Hongsan.

But Shunzhi is now taking refuge, and there are less than 200 people under his command, where can this strength persuade Wu Keshan to change his mind? Shunzhi had no choice but to live here in Horqin, preparing for the opportunity to make a comeback.

The development of events was similar to Shunzhi's estimate, and after Zhu Hongsan stabilized the northeast, the domestic economy also recovered, and finally extended a criminal hand to the Mongolian steppe eight years later. Of course, this is Shunzhi's idea, and in Zhu Hongsan's view, it is to unite the Mongolian tribes to develop the Mongolian steppe, which is a good start for the great integration of the Han and Mongolian nationalities.

No matter what Shunzhi thinks, Wu Keshan did panic for a while after learning that the Ming Dynasty emperor led an army of 150,000 into the Mongolian steppe (of course, this is all Zhu Hongsan's bragging, Zhu Hongsan brought out only 60,000 troops, and less than 80,000 people counting other personnel), Zhu Hongsan used more than 20,000 people to break the Mongolian cavalry 200,000 in Nanchang back then, and now the 150,000 Horqin Department is still alive?

Of course, Zhu Hongsan didn't do nothing, and after leaving Zhangjiakou, Zhu Hongsan immediately sent a messenger to send a letter to Wu Keshan. This letter was written in the identity of Zhu Hongsan's cheap wife Meng Guqing, and it was very simple, it was to explain the purpose of Zhu Hongsan's visit.

The content of the letter is very simple, to the effect that the great enemy of your golden family is coming, that is, Oirat Mongolia, these guys and your golden family are not all the way, you have let people chase and beat your ass for more than 300 years, and your hometown has changed several times. But don't be afraid now, the Ming Dynasty has become a son-in-law with Horqin, and now the son-in-law of the old man is in trouble, and the son-in-law naturally has to reach out to the rescue, this time the emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally brought a large army to the old man as a backup.

Wu Keshan, who was originally going to flee after seeing this letter, hesitated again, Oirat Mongolia he knew too well, now that the troops of the Dzungar Khanate had passed through Hangai Mountain, and thousands of miles ahead would touch the sphere of influence of Horqin. These Dzungar mud legs are not the same as the Han people, the Han people just need a name, you can submit to the central dynasty, and the Han people don't want your pasture, cattle and sheep. But the Dzungar mud legs are different, they want your life in addition to your property.

After reading the letter, Wu Keshan couldn't make up his mind, so he had no choice but to convene all the nobles in the tribe to discuss what to do next.

The right wing of Horqin was divided into four tribes, and in addition to Wu Keshan, who accounted for the largest part, there were three smaller tribes under the control of Wu Keshan's three younger brothers. After receiving the notice from their elder brother, the three younger brothers immediately led people to Wu Keshan's station, Gulman City.

In addition to Wu Keshan's four brothers, Wu Keshan's three sons also attended the meeting, among which Wu Keshan's favorite third son, Bier Tahar, spoke first.

"Father, uncles, and a few brothers, today my father will gather everyone to discuss how to face the Ming Dynasty army, and now the Ming Dynasty emperor has brought 150,000 troops to conquer our Horqin, although he said on the face that we will help us resist the attack of Dzungaria, but the Han people are scheming, everyone knows, my father is worried that the main target of the Ming Dynasty emperor is us, so I am ready to move north, how about you uncles?"

Wu Keshan's second brother Chahan is a Baylor who has no action, he doesn't have any ideas, mainly to see what Wu Keshan means, he looked at his eldest brother Wu Keshan and said, "What does big brother mean?" I don't have an opinion, as long as the eldest brother says what I do, I will do it! ”

Wu Keshan looked at everyone, and then said: "I can't make up my mind, my daughter Meng Guqing is the concubine of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and she wrote to explain that the emperor of the dynasty really came to help in the war, let me not worry!" ”

Biltahar's wife is Shunzhi's fourth sister, and naturally spoke to Shunzhi, Biltahar said: "Father, my son doesn't see it that way, we have a blood feud with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can that emperor easily let us go?" So my son thought it would be better to move north! ”

Wu Keshan's fourth brother is full of beads, and when he heard Bier Tahar say this, he stood up and said: "Big brother, several elder brothers, the younger brother feels that he should not move north!" After the battle of Kannai ten years ago, we suffered a lot of losses, and this ten years of recuperation and recuperation have only improved somewhat, what if those women and children move north? What about newborn cattle and sheep? And big brother, now that Dzungaria is less than a thousand miles away from us, where else can we go? You must know that those princes in Mobei are the mud legs of the pro-guard Lat! ”

Manzhu Xili is very right, the distant ancestors of Mobei Mongolia are the nomadic Tatar, Wengjira, Mierqi, Huyira, Kereh, Naiman, Wanggu tribes of the generation of nomadic herders in Lake Belga, many of these tribes were still feuded with Temujin back then, and only returned to Mongolia after Temujin unified Mongolia, so Mobei Mongolia has always been free from the Mongolian magnates, and because they do not belong to the golden family, they have a good relationship with the mud-legged Oirat Mongolia.

Now ruling Mobei Mongolia is the Zasaktu Khan, Tushetu Khan, Chechen Khan and other three major tribes, the Korqin tribe will inevitably invade the inherent power of these three tribes, so it is better not to move north unless absolutely necessary.

Hearing Manzhu Xili's objection, Biertahar hurriedly persuaded him: "Fourth uncle, although the loss of moving north is great, after all, it is still a way to live, if we stay, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty can let us go?" Fourth uncle, don't forget who made your county king, and how the fourth uncle's son Du Du died! ”

Manzhu Xili's first wife was Yue Tuo's daughter, and at the same time, because of her outstanding military achievements, she was named the king of Darhan Baturu County by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and Dudu said by Biertahar was the second son of Manzhu Xili, who followed the Manchu Qing Dynasty into the customs and died on the battlefield in Nanchang.

Manzhu Xili heard Biertahar say this and said angrily: "You don't need to say it, I naturally know how my second son died, although I have a blood feud with the Ming Dynasty, but don't forget, I am still the leader of the tribe, eldest brother, you are the prince of Horqin, you still have more than 100,000 people under you, and tens of thousands of cavalry, these people will go to the soup because of your order, but as the Khan of the tribe, eldest brother, you also have to think about these people, do you let the entire tribe go to Mobei to die for some personal blood feuds?" ”

"There is another point, the eldest brother only remembers that the Ming Dynasty has a grudge against us, do you forget that Dzungaria is the Ming Dynasty's henchmen, the younger brother heard that the Dzungar monk Khan has occupied all of Qinghai, a part of Tibet, the southernmost has reached Ningxia, and it is about to enter the hinterland of the Central Plains. For the Ming Dynasty, this is a big problem, so the younger brother estimates that this time the Ming Dynasty emperor came, as he said, to jointly deal with Dzungaria! And hasn't the eldest brother always been obsessed with the Great Khan of Horqin? This time, if the eldest brother raised his arms in order to deal with the common enemy, Dzungar, then Badali would not dare to compete with the eldest brother for the throne of the Great Khan of Horqin no matter what! ”

Manzhu Xili said that Wu Keshan went to his heart, Horqin is divided into four parts, Wu Keshan is only the Khan king of one department, and the Great Khan of Horqin is Badali, if he takes this opportunity to propose to unite with the Mongolian tribes to deal with Dzungaria, then his reputation will be above Badali, is this Horqin Great Khan also able to do it by himself?

Thinking of this, Wu Keshan stood up and said: "I have decided, negotiate peace with the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and gather the kings of the host country to deal with Dzungaria together!" ”
