Chapter 1056 Two hundred thousand people who control the strings
Mongolia was divided into several parts, and now only Moxi Mongolia is still in an independent state, not controlled by any force, and the reason for this is because of his strong strength, and no other forces can subdue him.
Moxi Mongolia is split from the former tile thorn, mainly composed of four major departments: Jungar, Heshute, Duerbert, and Turhut, as well as dozens of small departments such as Huite.
They formed a loose alliance in Moxi, and the leader of the alliance was the increasingly powerful leader of the Dzungar tribe, Batur Huntaiji.
The Ming Dynasty has always regarded it as a strong rival, even after the rise of the old slave, the Ming Dynasty did not think that the threat of the old slave was greater than that of the Mongols.
After the division of Warat, the Junggar Department could not be the leader of the entire alliance, but over the years, the situation in the entire Moxi has changed, but the situation in Moxi has gradually become the dominant party of the Junggar Ministry.
In the first year of Chongzhen, the Turghut tribe moved west to the banks of the Volga River, and had little contact with the Moxi tribes.
In the ninth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the Shuote Department moved to Qinghai under the leadership of Gushi Khan, and was defeated by Haoge in the first year of Yongzhang of the Jin Kingdom, while the Dulbert Department had fallen to the Manchu Dynasty, so only the Jungger Department was left in the four major departments of Moxi.
Batur Huntaiji, the leader of the Dzungar tribe, became the lord of Moxi, controlling a vast area from the Tianshan Mountains in the south, the Altai Mountains in the west to the Balkhash Lake and the Green Mountains, and from the Ankara River in the north, with dozens of large and small tribes and nearly 200,000 people in control.
Hearing that Zhungeer was going south to attack Jinguo, Yu Yin couldn't help but turn pale, this is not only a problem in Hexi, I am afraid that Guanzhong will also suffer from the attack of Jungar, and even have the risk of destroying the country.
As soon as he thought that Guanzhong had finally recovered its vitality, and that Hexi's business had just improved, but he was about to face the attack of Mongolia, his heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
"Didn't the Jungar Department always fight against the Manchus? How can it suddenly come against us? Yu Yin sat on the chair, his face full of heaviness.
Sun Kewang had just gained a foothold in Hexi, and this news was undoubtedly a major blow to him, he was silent for a while, and then said: "Last year, Zhungeer was preparing to attack Monan and was defeated by Dai Shan's troops, and this year they may know that Dajin lost in Sichuan, and they coveted the goods of Hexi, so they fell into the well and came to grab the last one." ”
Yu Yin was a civil official, and when he heard that the Jungger Ministry had gathered 200,000 people to go south, he was already panicking, and he could only rely on Sun Kewang, so he hurriedly asked, "Then what are we going to do now?" Does the prince have a way to deal with it? ”
Sun Kewang groaned for a while, then stood up, took out a map of Hexi and spread it out, and after reading it for a while, he said: "First, the news of Zhunger's entry into the Kou, we must immediately pass it on to the imperial court, so that the imperial court can prepare and send reinforcements to Hexi. ”
Yu Yin listened and nodded, "I wrote this excerpt with the prince." ”
Sun Kewang raised his head and looked at Zhang Sheng, and continued: "Second, those three spies will continue to interrogate to see if they can obtain the situation of the Mongol troops, which tribes the army consists of, who is strong and who is weak, and the general direction of the south. ”
"I'm going to do it!" Zhang Sheng knew that the situation was serious, so he immediately clenched his fists and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Sun Kewang stopped him, and then said, "Send a few more teams of spies to the steppe to spy on the Mongols' every move." ”
Zhang Sheng nodded heavily, and Sun Kewang waved his hand and asked him to hurry up. When Zhang Sheng walked out of the lobby, Sun Kewang looked at Yu Yin again and said heavily: "Yu Fantai!" Jungar is violent, the border city of Hami must be closed down immediately, and the personnel and residents must be evacuated to Guazhou as soon as possible. ”
Yu Yin knew that once Jungger went south, Hami would definitely not be able to stay, so he immediately nodded, "Okay, I'll organize the evacuation immediately." ”
Sun Kewang bowed his head and said: "In addition, the political envoy will also recruit the people in Hexi, rush to repair Guazhou City, and order the tribes and residents in the north of Guazhou to move into Jiayuguan immediately. ”
"Don't worry, the official will go back to the yamen immediately!"
After speaking, Yu Yin walked out with his legs in the wind, and Sun Kewang said loudly to his back, "It's hard work Yu Domain!" Yu Yin left without looking back, walked to the door, tripped over the threshold, the guards helped him up, he didn't brush off the dust on his body, and left in a hurry.
Sun Kewang's gaze sent him to the door, and then he suddenly turned around and said: "Pass the order, the armies of Hami, Dunhuang, Anding, and Shazhou will immediately assemble in Guazhou, and then send orders to various tribes to send elite soldiers to Guazhou to obey orders." ”
In the east of Tianshan, in the north of the Balsikuo Mountain, there is a huge lake, called Balikun Lake, also known as the Pu Sea, the mountains around him are undulating, the water and grass are abundant, and it is a good pasture.
At this time, the surroundings of Pu Shihai were already covered with white Mongolian tents, and one of the huge tents covering an area of three acres was the big tent of Zhunger Batur Huntaiji.
The Jungar Department is a hegemon in Central Asia, and neither the Kazakh nor the Hui will dare to provoke it, and after the Manchu Qing sneak attack succeeded, it is now also in a defensive posture.
Now the entire Moxi Jungar tribe is dominant, Batur Huntaiji took the opportunity to annex many small tribes, as well as the remnants of Heshuot who returned from Qinghai to the north, and the large and small tribes controlled by the entire Junggar tribe already have 200,000 tents, and the population is nearly one million according to a family of five.
The Mongols are different from the Central Plains Dynasty, only a few households in the Central Plains send out a soldier, and the Mongols are soldiers as long as they are men, so it is not an exaggeration to say that there are 200,000 people who control the strings.
At this time, in the big tent of Taiji, Batur Hun sat on a blanket, his fifth son, Khoros Sangge, and his sixth son, Khoros Kaldan, who was not yet ten years old, sat beside him, and Choros Chechen and Choros Drot Babatur sat on either side.
In the center of the tent, a brazier was lit, and a masked wizard was chanting and dancing around it. After half a ring, the wizard raised the bone staff in his hand, threw out a few bone fragments, and scattered them on the woolen carpet.
The people in the tent all held their breath, and the wizard knelt down to look at the bone fragments, then sat quietly and closed his eyes.
After a long time, the monk on the side asked, "Archmage, how is it?" ”
The archmage slowly opened his eyes, suddenly stood up, and then said mysteriously: "I have seen the guidance of the Immortal Heaven, Taiji is about to become the Great Khan of Mongolia and restore the glory of his ancestors. ”
Batur Huntaiji originally had no idea of being called Khan, because there were Heshute and Dulbert Ministries, and he said that Khan was difficult to convince the people, but now that Heshute had been defeated, and Dulbert's Ministry fell to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he had the meaning of calling Khan.
In fact, when he attacked the Manchu Qing Dynasty last year, Batur Huntaiji wanted to take advantage of the victory to call Khan, but as a result, he hit a big nail and retreated to Moxi in a gloomy manner.
This time, he heard that the Jin Kingdom lost the battle with Nanming and lost tens of thousands of fine horsemen, so he wanted to pinch a soft persimmon and restore his reputation.
This time, he gathered all the troops and attacked the Jin State, just to show his strength, see who was not convinced, and take the opportunity to call Khan and establish the Jungar Khanate.
Baturhun was overjoyed when he heard the words of the archmage, and asked again: "Regarding this trip to the south, the Immortal Heaven can have guidance!" ”
"Changshengtian guides Taiji, and Jungger will capture Chang'an all the way!"
Hearing this, Baturhun laughed, "Good! This time to the south, Jungar will definitely take revenge on Heshuote, defeat the Jin State in one fell swoop, and occupy Guanzhong! ”
All the people in the tent burst into laughter, apparently full of confidence.
Baturhun had made full preparations in advance and knew that the Jin Kingdom had suffered a crushing defeat, so he chose to attack the Jin Kingdom.
He was confident that he would be able to establish his prestige through this war and become the Great Khan of Mongolia.
At this time, Baturhun stood up suddenly, and then said loudly: "Immortal Heaven guides the Great Mongolia, and Jungar will restore the glory of his ancestors." Passed on my alliance order, and ordered all the tribes of Moxi to assemble here and prepare to march south with Jungger. ”
