When Zhu Hongsan cut Hutu's nose, in the Mongol army five miles outside the Ming army's camp, the new Chahar Great Khan Ezhe was anxiously waiting for news.

As the eldest son and heir of Lin Dan Khan, Ezhe personally experienced the days of exile, and was afraid of being hunted down by the Manchu Eight Banners every day. Although in the end, Ezhe surrendered to the Manchus with Lin Dan's old troops, but the bitter hatred for the Manchus in his heart will not be forgotten no matter what.

Ezhe can't forget the misery of his father's desolate death in Qinghai, the humiliation of his mother Sutai being taken as a concubine by Zilharana, and the humiliation of kneeling in front of Huang Taiji and begging for mercy.

After the surrender of Ezhe, in order to facilitate the control of the Chahar department, Huang Taiji moved the old department of Ezhe and Lin Dan to the area of Yizhou, Liaoning, which was very close to Liaodong and convenient for the Manchus to monitor Ezhe. At the same time, in order to divide and disintegrate, Huang Taiji divided the Chahar into eight banners, and let the Manchurian nobles intermarry with the various banner owners, hoping to weaken Lin Dan's influence in the Chahar department.

But hard hatred can be easily forgotten? In history, Ezhe's death is unclear, and the name of Prince Chahar falls on the head of Lin Dan's widow, Abu Nai. At that time, the Manchu Emperor Shunzhi had a very good calculation, and Abu Nai was raised by the Manchus, so how can he say that the relationship with himself should be close, right?

But the hatred in his bones is unforgettable, Abu Nai passed on this hatred to his sons Burni and Luo Buzang, the two brothers in Mongolia when the Manchus were busy dealing with the rebellion of the three feudatories, but by that time the Chahar tribe had been almost divided by the Manchus, and the strength was not as good as before, the brothers were defeated and killed, and their father Abu Nai was also hanged by the Manchus.

But in this time and space, the little emperor of Shunzhi was so busy dealing with the Zhu Hongsan regime in the south that he naturally didn't have the time to kill Ezhe and divide the Chahar department. Therefore, after knowing the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the escape of Shunzhi, Ezhe immediately repacked Lin Dan's old department, integrated the Chahar department, and returned to Chahar's hometown from Yizhou, Liaoning.

It was easy to come back, but the pastures and land that originally belonged to the Chahar tribe had been given to the Chahar tribe's sworn enemies by the Manchu Qing dynasty, the Karaqin tribe, and the giant Korqin Mongols standing behind the Karaqin tribe. Wu Keshan, the Great Khan of the Horqin Mongols, used his relationship with the Manchus to conquer many tribes, and the Karaqin tribe that now occupies the Chifeng area is a branch of the Horqin Mongols.

If the Chahar Department really didn't take Karaqin in its heyday, Lin Dan Khan had more than 200,000 armor at that time, which was comparable to the tens of thousands of horses in Karaqin. But now it is different, after years of war, the population of the Chahar Department has suffered serious losses, and at the same time, coupled with the Manchu Qing connivance with other tribes to plunder the Chahar Department, so now there are only more than 20,000 soldiers under Ezhe.

More than 20,000 cavalry is also a small force in Mongolia, and it is more than enough for self-protection, but what Ezhe wants is to restore the glory of his father Lin Dan Khan, and naturally he cannot be satisfied with being a mere tribal leader. Therefore, after learning that the Ming emperor was touring north with his army, Ezhe prepared to ally with the Ming Dynasty to jointly deal with the sworn enemy of the Chahar tribe, the Horqin Mongols.

Whether or not this peace talks can succeed is related to the life and death of the Chahar department, and Ezhe is very anxious in his heart, and from time to time he looks at the Ming army camp in the distance.

After a long time, Ezhe saw the gate of the Ming army camp open, and the five Hutu people came back on horseback. Seeing that the five Hutu were fine, Ezhe was very happy in his heart, it seems that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was not as difficult to talk as the legend said.

The five Hutu people rode horses, and when they came to the front of the forehead, they found that these five people were all covering their noses with their hands and their faces were covered with blood, how could they suffer in the Ming army camp?

Hu Tu rode to Ezhe, dismounted and knelt down in front of Ezhe and cried bitterly: "Great Khan, you have to be the master of the last general, the Ming Dynasty emperor is unreasonable, the last general just finished saying that he wanted an alliance and cut off the nose of the last general, and said that the Great Khan is his son!" ”

Whether it's a son or not, the key is that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty doesn't want to form an alliance with him, and that's it. Although the Chahar Department has returned to its homeland, Chifeng is now the territory of Karaqin, and if there is no support from the Ming Dynasty's army, the Chahar Department will not be able to hold out for a few years.

Ezhe dismounted and asked loudly, "What did the emperor of the Ming Dynasty say?" Did he say he wouldn't ally with me? ”

Hutu's nose was cut off, and his speech was a little leaky, but he could still hear clearly. Hu Tu covered his nose and said sullenly: "I didn't say that, it's just that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty said that he wanted to form an alliance and let the Great Khan go and talk to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in person!" ”

Hearing Hu Tu say this, Ezhe was relieved, as long as the Ming Dynasty emperor wanted to talk.

Ezhe thought for a moment and asked, "What else did the Ming Emperor say?" ”

Hu Tu thought for a while and said: "Also, the Ming Dynasty emperor said that he had a posthumous son of Lin Dan Khan in his hand, called Abu Nai, who was born to the great fortune of Jinna Mu Zhong back then, and the Ming Dynasty emperor said that he was ready to let Abu Nai be the Chahar Khan!" ”

A king is not afraid of foreign forces snatching his rights, because open guns are easy to dodge and dark arrows are difficult to prevent, and the threat from behind is the most terrifying. Therefore, the kings of the past were more wary of their brothers than their enemies, because these men were the legitimate heirs to the throne just like himself.

The same is true of Ezhe, Lin Dan Khan has many sons, but only Ezhe can survive, and Ezhe is still the eldest son, so he naturally has the legitimacy to inherit the Great Khan of Chahar. But now it's different, Lin Dan actually has another son, and that Abu Nai's background is much higher than that of Ezhe.

Abu Nai's old lady Namu Zhong is from the Mongolian Borzigit clan, and is the daughter of the king of Abahai County, Mongolia, Ezignoyan, and is born with the blood of the golden family. And Namu Zhong's title is Nang Nang Dafu Jin, which sounds ugly, but Nang Nang means "Niangniang" in Mongolian, so the status of Lin Dan Khan's wives is the highest in Namu Zhong.

But Ezhe is the same, Ezhe's wife is Sutai Dafujin, although she is also one of Lin Dan's legal wives, but Sutai is a Manchurian, Sutai's surname is Yehenala, this kind of background in the Chahar Department that pays attention to blood is naturally not as noble as Namu Zhong, who is from an orthodox background.

Therefore, when the Chahar generals standing behind Ezhe heard that Namu Zhong still had a posthumous child, they began to whisper one after another.

When Ezhe saw the cracks in his originally monolithic Chahar department, he wanted to hack this mouthy Hutu to death. But now it is useless to hack Hu Tu to death, everyone already knows that Lin Dan Khan also has a son, and his background is more noble than Ezhe, if he kills Hu Tu at this time, he will inevitably be suspected of killing people.

Although Ezhe was angry and wanted to kill Hu Tu, Hu Tu was his cronie after all, and he was the only one who could be trusted among the five commanders of Chahar, so Ezhe glared at Hu Tu hatefully and scolded: "Okay, you go down and bandage it!" ”

After Ezhe finished speaking, he turned around and smiled at the other generals and Taiji: "Hehe, I really didn't expect that I still have a younger brother alive!" ”

The Chahar Department is also divided into many small tribes, several relatively large tribes include Sunit, Uzhumuqin, Haoqit, Keshiketeng, Aohan, Naiman, etc., among which the Sunit Department is the most powerful, and the Taiji Morgen of the Sunit Department is Lin Dan's diehard lineage, and now when he hears that Lin Dan's descendant son is still alive, he can't help but ask: "Ezhe, now that Lin Dan's descendant son is still there, what do you want to do?" ”

The Sunit Department has the largest population, and the 20,000 cavalry brought by Ezhe this time accounted for 5,000 of the Sunit Division, if Ezhe does not give a perfect explanation, now the Chahar Department will soon be divided.

Ezhe scolded the damned Ming Emperor in his heart, he didn't expect that such a fluttering sentence could disintegrate his tribe. Now that Taiji Morgen of the Sunit Department asked, Ezhe had no choice but to say: "Rest assured, Taiji and uncles, if the son of the Great Fortune is really alive, I am willing to abdicate and let my younger brother inherit the throne!" ”

The Taiji of several tribes did not ask when they saw Ezhe say this, and then the Taiji Shalaleda of the Keshiketeng Department said: "Brothers, now I just heard that the son of the Great Fortune is still alive, but can you still believe the words of those treacherous Han people?" Don't forget that it was Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty who rebelled and did not give us support, and the Great Khan was defeated by the Eight Banners of Manchuria, so I feel that there is no exact news to prove that the child is the son of Lin Dan Khan, and now we still have to unite as one, after all, our Chahar Department can't withstand the blow! ”

Sharaleda is Ezhe's father-in-law, and Ezhe was able to control the Chahar Department thanks to Sharalida's help back then, so Sharaleda's words now are undoubtedly a relief.

The Taiji of several other tribes also nodded when they heard Sharaleda say this, and now the Chahar tribe is in decline, and the most powerful Sunit tribe is only more than 20,000 people. Today, in order to fill the scene, Ezhe has drawn out all the men in the entire Chahar department, and only 20,000 cavalry have been obtained, these people look like that from a distance, but if you look closely, you will find that most of these cavalrymen are either children of twelve years old or old men of fifty years old, and less than a quarter of them are young and middle-aged.

Murgen of the Sunit Department thought about it, there is no news about that sister-in-law, don't split on his side, anyway, Ezhe has already said just now that as long as the identity of the child is confirmed, he will give way immediately.

Murgen, who figured it out, touched his chest with his hand and saluted: "I'm sorry Great Khan, I shouldn't have questioned the Great Khan's orders, please punish Great Khan!" ”

Seeing that the tribes were temporarily united, Ezhe said happily: "Uncle Morgen, how can I punish you if you are not wrong, the most important thing at present is to ally with the Han people, recapture the grassland where our Chahar tribe has lived for generations, and at the same time avenge the sneak attack of Karaqin!" ”

In the third year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji took advantage of Lin Dan Khan's isolation and led the 100,000 allied troops of the Mongolian Karaqin, Tumut, Alu Korqin, Weng Niute and other tribes to attack the Chahar Department, Lin Dan Khan really had no choice but to retreat all the way to Qinghai with the Chahar Department, so the tribes that were attached to the Manchu Qing Dynasty had an inextricable mortal enmity with the Chahar Department.

When the Taiji and generals of the Chahar Department heard that they were finally going to take revenge, they shouted excitedly: "Revenge!" Destroy Karaqin and Horqin! The sound came far away in the open grassland.
