It is certainly not meaningless for Usu Tuzhao to call the Great Temple's living Buddha Samteng Osir's position to change to the Ming Dynasty.

Li Banghua led the three general soldiers under his command and the cavalry of the Duolun tribe, and within a few days of the garrison in the Usutuzhao area to rest, the lamas in the Wusutuzhao temple brought him Nayan Jirentai of the Dalat tribe who worshiped the living Buddha of Usutu, Sukhbalu, the leader of the Hangjin tribe, and Seleng, the leader of the West Urat tribe who was nomadic in the southern foot of Yinshan Mountain.

These Mongol tribes who believed in the Yellow Religion were all small tribes who were unwilling to give in and fled after Lin Dan Khan occupied Monan, some were attached to the Tushetu Khan Department in Mobei, some were attached to the Ordos Department, and some simply moved west.

In the original history, these tribes would be annexed to the Jin Kingdom after Huangtaiji drove out Lin Dan Khan and conquered Monan-Mongol.

But in this life, they lost that opportunity.

Soon after Huang Taiji entered Kuku and Tun, he led his army south to attack the Ming Dynasty, and did not spare his hands to send people to subdue these small tribes scattered in the border area between Monan and Moxi.

Second, Lin Dan Khan's westward migration made these small tribes also flee, and only after knowing that Lin Dan Khan's Chahar army had crossed the border, they returned to their winter pastures.

Originally, on the way to the west to pursue Lin Dan Khan, Abatai also had the mission of recruiting small tribes along the way, but Abatai did not have time to find these tribes who had fled from the wind.

When he wanted to surrender again on the way back, he met the Ming cavalry led by Li Banghua again.

As a result, these small tribes between Monan, Mobei and Moxi, although they are in the whirlpool of this triangular war between the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens and the Mongols, have surprisingly survived to the present.

Now the dust has finally settled on the war that took place in Monan.

Ji Rentai, Sukhbaru, and Seleng, who led his troops south to spend the winter, were able to lead their subordinates to survive on the prairie with a treacherous environment, and of course they all had their own set of survival skills.

When they knew that Lin Dan Khan led his troops to flee westward and almost all the tribes of Southern Mongolia surrendered to the Jurchens, they originally wanted to surrender to the Jurchens, but they had not yet found the opportunity.

But now that the Jurchens have been defeated and driven away by the Ming army, then of course they have to choose to stand on the winning side.

Therefore, as soon as the lamas sent out by the living Buddha Samuteng Osir of the Great Temple of Wusutuzhao arrived, they followed these lamas to Wusutuzhao and expressed their allegiance and submission to Li Banghua, who represented the temporary residence of the Ming court.

Although these tribes were poor and small, and their populations were not large, it was better to recruit them than to force them to submit to Jianju.

These three tribes were attached to the Ming Dynasty at this time, on the one hand, they chose the strong, and on the other hand, they also had the idea of being cared for and rewarded.

Although Li Banghua didn't care about giving them a little money and grain in exchange for their subordination, he would not give them food or pay them for no reason, or ask for rewards for them.

Li Banghua asked Ji Rentai, Sukhbaru, and Seleng to draw 1,500 young cavalry from their own tribes and follow the Ming army to conquer the Ordos tribes.

On the evening of 18 December, Cao Bianjiao, a general of Cao Wenzhao's subordinate who had been sent out to find the whereabouts of Jinong Exuanchen of the Ordos Ministry, rushed back and reported to Li Banghua and others the traces of the Ordos Ministry.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Banghua took the cavalry of the Wulie Battalion of Cao Wenzhao's department and the Shanhai Town cavalry of Zhao's Jiaojiao Institute as the vanguard, and led the Mongolian cavalry of the Dalai Lama Chu Huer, Hadan Batel, Ji Rentai, Sukhbaru, Seleng, and others to the south.

Li Banghua took Usutu to summon the living Buddha Samuteng Osir and the rest of the cavalry as a rear team, and then marched south.

As the Jinong of the Ordos Tribes, Eluchen, who was only thirty years old at this time, had nowhere else to go except to return to the Hetao.

From the time the Jurchen army entered Monan, it took only two months, but in these two months, Eluchen made one wrong decision after another.

first decided to follow Lin Dan Khan to move west, although he was unwilling in his heart, but after all, he followed.

Then, not long after, when the Jurchen pursuers caught up with Lin Dan Khan's troops, he led his troops to surrender to the Jurchens, and also followed the Jurchens to pursue Lin Dan Khan.

And then not long after, when the Ming army turned defeat into victory and went out to pursue the Jurchens, he fled again and betrayed the Jurchens.

This wrong decision after another dealt a serious blow to the prestige of Jinong, a Jinong, among the Ordos tribes.

The Taiji of the Ordos Zhuzhu and the hereditary Jinong Eluchen are all the same ancestor, but after one or two hundred years, although these people belong to the same ancestor, but at this time, there is not much family bond between them.

If this Jinong is a bit eloquent, it would be easy to say, after all, the aura of the hereditary Jinong is there.

However, after several major judgment errors in a row, all the Taiji under his command had a lot of complaints.

After the Ordos tribes fled all the way southwest from the wilderness and snowfield below Usutuzhao, escaped the frozen Yellow River, and returned to the land of the Hetao again, the left wing of Ordos Taiji Zamusu, the right wing of Taiji Shandan, and the front and back sets of Taiji Dorji and Shakeza all led their troops back to their own pastoral areas without saying hello.

Therefore, when the ministers led the men and horses of the headquarters and the men and horses of the Dalhuts under his direct leadership, and fled back to their big tent station, the Ijin Horo near Dongsheng City, the other tribes were scattered, and only the headquarters and the Dalhut cavalry were left with more than 3,500 people.

And at this time, Shunyi King Bu Lost Rabbit also led his troops to leave Yijin Horo and went to Yulinwei to request attachment.

The strength of Ehin Chan shrank by more than half at once.

In this way, while sending the Dalhut cavalry to the left and right flanks and the front and rear areas to order the Taiji to come to the meeting, he waited anxiously for news from the north.

At the same time, he once again ordered the Ordos headquarters in the area of Yijin Horo to sort out the shape and move elsewhere at any time.

Yijin Holo, which means the burial place of the Holy Lord in Mongolian, is said to be the place where Genghis Khan was buried.

There is what the Mongols call the Eight White Chambers, which are the places where Genghis Khan is worshipped.

And the Dalhut cavalry, which belongs to the direct command of Jinong in Ordos, is the Mongols who have guarded the eight white rooms of Yijin Horo for generations.

Dalmut means grave keeper.

After Genghis Khan was buried here, there were many Mongol tribes who ruled this land, but whether it was the descendants of the past Warat or the present Tatar, after coming to this land, they all respected the customs of the past and always let the Dalhuts guard the Eight White Rooms.

On December 22, the former Ordostai Ji Dorji sent someone to deliver the news, saying that the Dajin soldiers of Abatai's headquarters had been defeated and fled north, and the army of the Ming Dynasty was surging south.

The next day, he received shocking news from the Qiantao area (later the former banner of Urart):

The Ming army crossed the river by stepping on ice in large numbers, the Dolzitaiji soldiers were defeated and died, and the Ming army was advancing towards Yijin Horo!

This news was brought by Dorji's subordinates who had fled to Ijin Holo.

In fact, when he learned of the results of the war in the north, he already had the idea of returning to the Ming Dynasty.

But at this time, when he heard that Dorzitaiji had been killed, and that the cavalry and subordinates under Dorji had been massacre and looted by the Ming cavalry and other tribal armies brought by him, he immediately ordered to evacuate because he was not sure of the attitude of the Ming army and feared the same fate.

Only the original 500 households of the Dalhuts were left behind, and they continued to guard the Eight White Rooms.

On the same day that the Chongzhen three-year Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting was held in the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, Li Banghua took the Ming cavalry army and nearly 30,000 Mongolian cavalry attached to the Ming Dynasty to Dongsheng City.

At this time, Dongsheng City was already empty, and there were only 500 households left in Yijin Holo, thirty or forty miles away from Dongsheng City, who guarded the Eight White Rooms.

Li Banghua asked Usutu to summon the Buddha Samuteng Osir with a few lamas as envoys to recruit the Dalhuts.

And today's Dalhuts are no longer the cowardly army of Genghis Khan's time.

As long as the Eight White Chambers are not destroyed, it makes little difference to them who will rule the Hetao region.

Although it would have been better for the Mongols to rule, it was not up to them to choose.

If Li Banghua didn't care about the Eight White Rooms or the Eight Black Rooms, and ordered the army to advance, then there were only 500 Dalhuts, even if everyone died in battle, they would not be able to stop the pace of the Ming army.

Therefore, Usutu summoned the living Fosamuteng Osir to come forward, and in place of Li Banghua, promised to protect the Eight White Chambers of Ijin Horo from damage, and promised to continue to guard the Eight White Chambers by the Dalhuts, and these people immediately chose to surrender.

After the Dalhuts surrendered, they told the whereabouts of the Eh's retreat.

The next day, Li Banghua led the cavalry of Shanhai Town under Zhao Sect as the main force, and led the Dalai Lama Chu Huer and Ji Rentai to the southwest to find the decisive battle of the left wing of Ordos.

With the cavalry of Cao Wenzhao's Wulie Battalion as the mainstay, he took Hadan Batel and Sukhbaru to the northwest to find a decisive battle in the Houtao Ordostai Jishakeza Division.

At the same time, with the cavalry of Datong Town, which was mainly under the command of Zu Dashou, he took Usutu to summon the living Buddha Samuteng Osr and the Dalhut cavalry and the West Urat cavalry of the Seleng Institute to the southeast of the Sarawusu River (southeast of the Wushen Banner of Ordos in later generations) to find the right wing of Ordos Taiji Shandan and the Ordos Jinong Exuan who went to take refuge for a decisive battle.
