Chapter 208: Recovering the Loop (13)

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of the leaders were cold. Oba Dao, the minister of Horqin, said: "Since the Great Khan said this to the Ming people, then we will be rebellious when we send troops to the Ordos Department now, and we will be ridiculed." ”

Oba once led the Horqin tribes to swear an oath with the Houjin Punishment White Horse Wuniu, in order to borrow the power of the Houjin to get rid of Lin Dan Khan's control. Now that the Houjin has been destroyed, Horqin has become more powerful in the Ming Dynasty, and the centrifugal trend with the Chahar Department is even stronger, how can he help Lin Dan Khan to attack the Ming army.

Lin Dan Khan succeeded to the throne in the thirty-second year of Wanli, when he was only thirteen years old. The Korqin, Nekhalkha, Tumut, and Ordos tribes in Monan were in charge of their own affairs, and the Mongol Great Khan could only dominate the Chahar tribe in Liaohetao, and was only regarded as the nominal co-lord by the Monan tribes. By the forty-third year of Wanli, he had subdued the various tribes of Monan, and jointly raised troops to invade the Ming Dynasty with the leader of the five alliances of the Inner Khalkha Dynasty, Zhuolik Tuhongbatulu (known as fried flowers in the Ming Dynasty), and obtained the right to exchange markets with the Ming Dynasty, which greatly boosted his prestige.

But all this changed dramatically in the 45th year of Wanli, when Lin Dan Khan converted from the Yellow Sect (Gelugpa) to the Red Sect (Sakya Sect) under the persuasion of the Tibetan Sakya monk Shalkhutuktu. At this time, after decades of spreading in Mongolia, the Yellow Religion had been deeply rooted, and the sudden conversion of Lin Dan Khan undoubtedly intensified the centrifugal force of the Mongol tribes who believed in the Yellow Religion against the Great Khan.

Nekhalkha has always been friendly with the Ming Dynasty, especially when the Later Jin Dynasty rose, when he was forced to form an alliance by Nurhachi, but he has always been in tune with the Ming Dynasty. Unlike in history, in this time and space, Lin Dan Khan has not yet annexed the Flower Division, and the five Inner Khalkha Divisions are still intact, and with Sun Chengzong's efforts, they are already dissatisfied with Chahar, thinking about the various benefits promised by Sun Chengzong, their butts will naturally sit on the side of Daming.

Fried flowers said: "Our immediate man, since he said it, he naturally can't go back." Nekhalkha did not dare to do this with the Great Khan, and asked the Great Khan to consider for himself how the Great Ming would view the king's move. ”

Bu Lostu, the leader of Tumut, was the fourth king of Shunyi, and although his envoy did not speak, it could at least be seen that he would not support Lin Dan Khan. Then now only the Chahar is willing to obey Lin Dan Khan, and there are eight Etok (tribes) in the Chahar Department, and if you want to deal with the Ming Dynasty with this little force, Lin Dan Khan himself has no bottom.

But what if there is no bottom, Ordos was attacked by the Ming Dynasty, if he didn't make any moves as the Mongolian co-owner, then Monan Mongolia would fall apart, don't say anything about controlling 400,000 strings, and it is difficult to say whether he can maintain the dominance of Chahar.

In fact, Ordos has never obeyed Lin Dan Khan's orders, and has formed de facto independence. In Lin Dan Khan's mind, he longed for the death of his minister, but dying in his own hands and dying in the hands of Daming were completely different situations. He didn't want the Ming army to enter the Hetao, and then threaten Tumuwu and even Chahar.

Lin Dan Khan's plan to gather all the ministries to deal with the Ming Dynasty collapsed, but he couldn't let it go anyway, at least he had to make one, so he ordered the four Etoks close to the Ordos Department and prepared to send troops to the Ordos tribe.

At this time, a report came from outside that Sun Chengzong sent a messenger. Lin Danhan said angrily: "Let him come in." ”

The envoy entered the account proudly, and said to Lin Dan Khan: "The cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong, the military governor of Shaanxi Province in Xuandashan, said that the foreign ministers twice wanted the Great Khan to mediate the disputes between the Ming Dynasty and the Ordos Department, but the Great Khan refused because he could not control Ordos, and said that the Ming Dynasty would take the land of the Hetao by himself. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty specially ordered the Northern Military Region and the Northwest Military Region of the Ming Dynasty to enter the Hetao area to persuade the Ordos tribes. From then on, the Ordos Department officially joined the Ming Dynasty and seceded from Mongolia. ”

Lin Dan Khan was stunned, he had never encountered such a thing. Even when Horqin formed an alliance with the Later Jin, he did not say anything about breaking away from Mongolia and joining the Later Jin. Now Ordos has even shouted out the words of breaking away from Mongolia and joining the Ming Dynasty, and if it does not respond, then soon all the ministries except Chahar will follow suit.

The leaders of the other ministries focused on the Ming Dynasty dispatching two military regions to persuade Ordos, and the two military regions were convinced, this face was indeed big enough, and if the Ephochen was convinced, it seemed that the stable situation in the land of Hetao would be broken. The other ministries are fine, but the envoys of the Tumut tribe are anxious, the Hetao has been lost, and the next step will be Tumut's turn.

After the Ming envoy finished speaking, he arched his hand to everyone, and then walked out. Lin Dan Khan even forgot to stop. After a while, someone came to report that the envoy from the Ordos Ministry had arrived.

The envoy of Ordos was a close confidant of Ephochen and his brother-in-law, Legu Hantaiji. He touched his chest and saluted Lin Dan Khan and said: "The Erdos Ministry of Erdos ordered me to make it clear to Chahar Khan that Ordos has officially separated from Chahar Khan, and from then on, everyone will go their own way. ”

Lin Dan Khan said angrily: "Ordos dares not to obey the orders of the Great Khan, but does he regard the Golden Family as nothing? ”

Leguhan said slowly: "Please Chahar Khan don't forget that our Ordos Khan is also surnamed Er'er Jin, and he is also a descendant of the Golden Family. Since they are brothers, it is best to be together and disperse. If Chahar Khan raises his sword in vain, don't blame the Ordos tribe for resisting for their lives. ”

This is said very powerfully, it seems that after Ordos fell in love with the behemoth of Daming, he was no longer afraid of Chahar. Lin Dan Khan was speechless for a while, and wanted to be angry but found that he couldn't say anything cruel.

Leguhan said: "Ordos Khan hopes to live in peace with Chahar Khan, and Elder Sun Ge of the Ming Dynasty also hopes that Ordos and Chahar are like brothers, if Chahar Khan has anything to bring to Ordos Khan, please tell me, I will definitely bring it." “

Lin Dan Khan finally couldn't help it, and he said angrily: "Tell Ephochen to wash his neck, and King Ben Khan will personally come to take his head." “

Leguhan sneered: "Ordos will wait for Chahar Khan, and then you can ask Chahar Khan to enjoy the beautiful scenery of my Ordos." The scenery is too good, I'm afraid that Chahar Khan will linger, farewell! “

The leaders of the various tribes were a little moved, looking at the appearance of the ancient Han, and did not pay attention to the possible attack of Chahar, which shows that the combat power of the Ming army gave the Ordos people great confidence. If Lin Dan Khan defeated Ordos, then all the tribes would be able to break away from Chahar rule. As for whether to become a family or take refuge in Daming, it will not be too late to talk about it.
