Jiri Galangtu, a Mongolian transliteration, means "rich and happy" in Chinese. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

This place, known as Jiri Galangtu, is located between two rivers north of the Xila Murong River and south of the Narit River, and is basically near Kailu, 200 miles west of Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia.

This interriver grassland, with its open and flat terrain and abundant water and grass, is a rare and fertile pasture for the Mongolians.

This rich grassland originally belonged to the Great Khan of the Mongols, that is, Lin Dan Khan of Chahar, but later Lin Dan Khan was repeatedly defeated by the Later Jin Union Horqin and other Eastern Mongolian tribes, and repeatedly migrated and fled to the south and west.

And because in several wars to defeat Lin Dan Khan, the Horqin tribes were firmly on the side of the Jurchens, so after Lin Dan Khan completely moved west, this fertile grassland was also given to the Horqin tribes by the Jurchens, especially the left wing Horqin, which contributed the most, as a new place to reside.

Because Jiriga Langtu is relatively close to the Eastern Mongolian tribes such as Ao Han, Bahrain, Naiman, and Wengniut, this time, it was selected as the place where the Eastern Mongolian tribes conquered Karaqin.

After listening to the words of Wang Zhenyuan and Delige, Cao Wenzhao glanced at Niu Juming, and then said: "Horqin is not good!" Their purpose must be Karaqin, and you must remind the Guiyi King to prepare early! ”

After saying this, Cao Wenzhao groaned slightly, and then said: "My Ming court is training troops in Rehe Fort, mainly to support and respond to the Karaqin Department, please return to the King of Guiyi, within a few days, Cao will lead the Wulie Battalion to the north to help, if Horqin and other troops really come to attack Karaqin, he will definitely be called back!" ”

After Cao Wenzhao said this, Wang Zhenyuan and Delig were overjoyed when they heard this, and Delig said excitedly in Mongolian: "General Cao is really a righteous man!" I, Karaqin, am now the only barrier in the north of the Ming Dynasty, so I will say that the Ming court will not sit idly by and watch the danger of Karaqin, and General Cao will definitely not stand idly by! I, Delige, in place of the Great Khan of Karaqin, thank General Cao for his assistance! ”

Wang Zhenyuan hurriedly translated these words. When Cao Wenzhao and Niu Juming heard this, they also looked at each other and smiled.

The day after Cao Wenzhao met Wang Zhenyuan and Delige, Wang Zhenyuan took people to the border field of Houtun Guard in Yingzhou to report to Chen Renxi and others.

Delige, on the other hand, left behind a slightly Chinese-speaking squire of his cronies, Uliji, with about twenty elite cavalry from Karaqin as messengers to communicate with each other, and then set off for the Karaqin tribe with the swords, shields, bows, arrows and various armor of Rehe Fort to assist the Karaqin tribe, and set off to return to the Karaqin tribe where he is now stationed near Ulan Hada.

Of course, Niu Juming did not forget that he hurriedly sent people back to Beijing the next day to report the new changes on the grassland to the Military Aircraft Department.

Autumn has arrived, and the grasslands in the north of the Ming Dynasty are a scene of slaughter.

The left-wing Korqin Taiji Jaisan, who is now stationed near the Narit and Sila Murong rivers, has been busy entertaining guests these days, first of all, the envoys of his patrons, the Dajin Kingdom, Tiancong Khan, and Darhan.

Yanguli and Darhan were both close associates of Huang Taiji, and they also served as liaison messengers in the Khan's palace.

Huang Taiji didn't particularly care about Horqin's convening of various ministries to jointly conquer Karaqin this time, because in his heart, this expedition initiated by Horqin was just a temptation or feint, the purpose was to contain the army of Liaodong Town and create a relatively relaxed western environment for the Houjin army to destroy Dongjiang Town.

As for the Karaqin Department, he didn't take it to heart, even if he refused to join it in the future, after destroying Dongjiang Town, he would go on another expedition to the west, and destroy it by the way, and by the way, he cleared the last obstacle to the Mongolian attack on the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it would be great if the Eastern Mongolian coalition army initiated by Horqin really wiped out the Karaqin Tribe.

Huang Taiji's thoughts, Yanguli and Darhan naturally understood everything, so after they arrived at Jiri Galangtu, in addition to bringing a batch of bows and arrows and money and silk rewards to the left wing Korqin, all that was left was a letter written by Huang Taiji to his father-in-law Jaisang.

The letter explained the reason why he could not personally lead the army to avenge Horqin and the Ao Han Department and uphold justice, saying that the Ming army of Dongjiang Town was constantly harassing in the rear of the Jin State, and if Dongjiang Town was not destroyed, the Dajin army would have no way to conquer Mongolia in the west, and he also asked his father-in-law Zhai Sang to rest assured that the revenge of his nephew and brother-in-law Wu Keshan would be avenged, and if the coalition forces of the Eastern Mongolian tribes failed to conquer Karaqin, at the latest next autumn, Huang Taiji himself would personally lead the army to the west to conquer the Karaqin Department, and the Karaqin Department would definitely be cut down and eradicated. avenged Horqin and Ao Han.

Although Zhai Sang was very dissatisfied with Huang Taiji's failure to send troops to come, he did not dare to show it, after all, Horqin, who had defected from Chahar, would never dare to offend Huang Taiji, the biggest backer, again.

Horqin, historically, is also called a good child, or a vassal. The name literally refers to archers.

The Korqin people have a long history, and their ancestors were Temujin's younger brothers.

He was both Temujin's younger brother and one of Temujin's guards, and his team consisted entirely of archers.

After Temujin unified the Mongolian steppe, he gave the grassland between the Yuqu River and the Harawan Mountains to his younger brother as a fief, and he also took his subordinates to graze and hunt here for generations, and over time, he formed his own tribe, which is Horqin.

The historical Yuqu River is the later Krulun River, and the Harawan Mountain is now the Great Khing'an Mountains.

Therefore, at the beginning, the main place of residence of the Horqin Department was around the fishing sea.

This fishing sea is today's Bear Lake, and the surrounding area of the fishing sea mainly refers to the area of Hulunbuir today.

However, with the changes of history, Horqin gradually developed and expanded, one of which crossed the Harawan Mountain, migrated all the way to the east and south, and gradually came to the Naowen River Basin, and along the Naowen River all the way to the south to reproduce, after 100 years of development, formed another large branch of Horqin, called Naowen Horqin.

The Horqin people who originally stayed around the fishing area were called Alu Korqin. Aru means north, and Alu Korqin is the Korqin people of the north. And Naowen Jiang, also called Nawujiang, was later transliterated as Chinese Nenjiang, and Naowen Horqin is therefore also called Nen Horqin.

In the late Ming Dynasty, because of the change of the northern climate, the winter was more severe, and Naowen Horqin continued to go south, and began to conflict with the Jianzhou Jurchen Department, and several leaders were on the side of Chahar, and the Jurchens were enemies, and repeatedly cooperated with the Ming army to attack the Jurchen tribes.

However, after the death of Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, Naowen Horqin began to centrifuge, and then after the Ming army was defeated in the Battle of Salhu, Ming'an, the leader of Naowen Horqin at that time, began to truce with Nuer Hachi, and married his daughter to Nuer Hachi, and began to cooperate with each other.

This was also the beginning of the marriage between Horqin and Houjin and later Manchu and Mongolia.

After Ming'an's death, one of the Horqin tribes, Taiji Oba, became the leader of the Horqin tribes, and at this time, Lin Dan Khan began to invade the grasslands of Horqin again, and Oba immediately joined forces with Nuer Hachi, hoping to jointly fight against the eastern invaders of the Chahar tribe.

Oba also married his daughter to the sons and nephews of Nuer Hachi, and after that, there were more and more marriages between Brain Wen Korqin and Jianyu, and the relationship became closer and closer.

After the Naowen Horqin tribes joined forces with the Houjin and defeated the descendants of the Golden Family, the co-owner of the Mongols, and Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar Tribe, the leader of Naowen Horqin, Oba, realized that his merits were complete, and began to call himself Tushetu Khan, and divided Naowen Horqin into three divisions: left, middle and right, and the leader of each department was named Taiji, and the Taiji of Horqin on the left wing was his uncle Zaisang.

Among the entire Horqin tribes, the one with the most marriages and the closest relationship with the Houjin is also the Zaisan family of the Taiji Borzigit clan of the left-wing Horqin. And the benefits of marrying with Houjin are, of course, the most obtained by the left-wing Horqin Zhaisang Division.

The left-wing Korqin, which had originally been based at the confluence of the Naowen River and the Songhua River, was now able to move further south, occupying the grasslands on both sides of the Narit River and the Xilamulun River, where water and grass are most abundant.

The headquarters of Naowen Horqin, that is, the territory of Tushetu Khan Oba, still remains in the northeast of the Naowen River and the Songhua River, a place called Geljurgen, which is equivalent to the vicinity of Baicheng in Jilin in later generations.

Because of the continuous marriage with the Houjin, the strength of the Horqin tribes is naturally growing, and compared with the original Ao Han, Naiman, Bahrain and other Huazi tribes under the rule of Chahar, the entire Horqin tribes can easily arm tens of thousands of cavalry.

Therefore, after the Chahar Department moved westward, in addition to the Houjin, among the entire Eastern Mongolian tribes, Tushetu Khan Oba was the strongest.

It's a pity that today's Tiancong Khan Huang Taiji is also a little dissatisfied with the leader of the Horqin tribes, Oba, who dares to call himself Tushetu Khan, in addition to calling himself the Tiancong Emperor from time to time, he is trying to strengthen ties with the left-wing Horqin, and secretly enhance the strength of the left-wing Horqin.

These small movements, Tushetu Khan Oba, who had a brain of Wen Korqin, also saw it. Therefore, Oba never nodded at the left-wing Korqin Taiji Jaisang's desire to send troops to retaliate against Karaqin.

Thus, from April to August, Jaisan was never able to organize a coalition army. And this period of time happened to give Kundulun Khan Burhatu of the Karaqin Department a God-given opportunity.

With the deliberate support of Chen Renxi, the imperial historian of Liaodong Town, Burhatu took advantage of the opportunity of rewarding and participating in the trade of the Rongchang to quickly subdue the small tribes of Eastern Mongolia who were stationed in the Daling River, the Xiaoling River, the headwaters of the Liugu River, and the middle reaches of the Luan River.

These originally belonged to the small tribes of Duoyan and Inner Khalkha, and they were relatively close to the border wall of the Ming Dynasty, so the situation of sinicization or civilization was much better than that of the Horqin Mongols and Wuliangha Mongols closer to the north.

For a time, the Guiyi King of the Ming Dynasty and the Kundulun Khan of Karaqin were a little complacent and high-spirited.
