Chapter 214: Chain Reaction

Soon after the Later Jin Tiancong Khan Huang Taiji did not hesitate to restore the political structure of the Eight Kings, he united the two red flags and the two white flags and successfully imprisoned Amin, and soon after he received the news that the allied forces of the Eastern Mongolian tribes had returned from the defeat of Karaqin.

The person who came to Shenyang to report this important news was the third son of the left-wing Horqin Taiji Zhaisang, the seventeen-year-old Manzhu Xili.

There was no way, because Zhaisang's two sons, Wu Keshan and Chahan, who had become adults, had already hung up, so naturally they couldn't come to deliver the letter.

On the one hand, Zhaisang, who had suffered this defeat, needed to stay in the place where the Horqin Department was stationed to clean up the mess in the rear of Horqin, appease the subordinates, and think about how the entire left-wing Horqin would survive the long winter.

There have been many such cases in the history of the Mongolian steppe, so the shrewd Jaisan did not dare to take this risk.

And sending his son to go, on the one hand, he showed enough sincerity, and on the other hand, it was Taiji Zhaisang who failed to lead the army to conquer Karaqin, and it had little to do with the doll of Manzhu Xili.

Besides, Manzhu Xili has always had a close relationship with Bumu Butai, and even the relationship with Huang Taiji is quite good, so sending him there is at least a guarantee of safety.

When Manzhu Xili arrived in Shenyang under the escort of hundreds of people, the small turmoil caused by the trapping of Amin in Shenyang City had completely subsided.

Manzhu Xili entered the Khan's palace, first went to the inner palace through the side door, and met with the Huangtaiji concubine Zhezhe from the Horqin Borzigit family, that is, the left wing of Horqin, this is Manzhu Xili's aunt, and then met Huangtaiji's side concubine Bumu Butai, which is his own sister.

first told them with tears in his eyes about the tragedies that happened on the Horqin grassland, and the shocked Zhezhe and Bumu Butai were discolored, panicked, and scared, and even the two concubines with Huang Taiji cried endlessly.

When Manzhu Xili finished talking about the situation with a handful of snot and tears, Zhezhe and Bumu Butai also listened to the whole head and tail, and learned that the strength of the Horqin cavalry had not suffered much loss, and the two of them, that is, Bumu Butai's grandmother and mother and other direct close relatives, were not harmed, so the two of them relieved their hearts and stopped crying.

However, when the two heard that it was Harijula who sacrificed himself to save Jaisang's mother, wife, and other young sons and daughters, they couldn't help but sigh and leave tears.

Both of them know about the beauty of Hairi Zhula, and it is precisely because of the beauty of Hari Zhula that this pair of aunts and nieces tacitly never mention their niece and sister to Huang Taiji, that is, Hari Zhula of Horqin.

After all, the aunts and nieces of Zhezhe and Bumu Butai are the most favored in Huang Taiji's harem, and they don't want to change the situation in Huang Taiji's harem.

Therefore, for the robbery of Harizhula, that is, the Ming army that was secretly attacked and brought back to the Ming Dynasty, their hearts cannot be said to be sad or relaxed.

Regardless, in their eyes, Harijura was admirable for doing so.

On the morning of the second day after Manzhu Xili arrived in Shenyang, he met Huang Taiji, who had been busy readjusting the layout of the Eight Banners garrison.

After Zhezhe's pillow wind, Huang Taiji's anger at the failure of Horqin's left-wing Taiji Zhaisang to conquer Karaqin has dissipated a lot, but he still listened to Manzhu Xili's report with a black face, as well as the request of Horqin Taiji Zaisang conveyed by Manzhu Xili.

Thanks to Manzhu Xili's early visit to his aunt and sister, and thanks to Huang Taiji's meeting in the harem, it was a family ceremony, otherwise the left wing of Horqin, under the banner of Houjin, united with the Eastern Mongolian tribes to conquer Karaqin and returned defeated, and plundered other Mongolian tribes along the way who had already expressed their attachment to Houjin, and would never have easily been forgiven by Huang Taiji.

Jaisang, Kongol and others, abandoning the other tribes of the coalition army, took the troops of the left and right flanks of Horqin, and made a detour all the way to the west, traveling nearly 2,000 miles, and finally returned to the place where they were stationed at the confluence of the Xilamulun River and the Narigit River in mid-October.

Along the way, in order to get enough supplies and make up for the huge losses caused by the failure of the southern expedition to Karaqin, the two joined forces with Kongol and plundered other Mongol tribes they met along the way, even the Wengniut and Bahrain tribes who had obeyed orders and followed them on the expedition.

Since the main cavalry of these two tribes has been annihilated by the main force of the Karaqin tribe, the joint martial arts battalion, in the face of the sudden arrival of the Horqin cavalry, the recruits of the Weng Niute and Bahrain tribes are not only defenseless, but also powerless.

The young and old of the two tribes were killed, women, children and women were robbed, and a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock were also robbed.

This is also a common thing in the Mongolian steppe, in the face of life and death, one moment may be a close ally, and the next moment it is likely to become a dangerous enemy, which perfectly interprets the political saying of later generations, there are no eternal friends, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests.

Especially for the grassland peoples, what is in front of them is only the pressure of eternal survival.

If it weren't for the fact that the leader of the Kashiketeng tribe had a long mind and left the main cavalry of the tribe to guard against the Chahars in the west, and also thanks to the tribal cavalry who fled back a few days in advance and reported the situation on the steppe in the east, then the Keshiketeng tribe would not have been spared this time.

The tribes north of the upper reaches of the West Lamulun River, located on the western edge of the Eastern Mongolian steppe, are also a wall-riding faction, and when a strong enemy comes from the east, they will be attached to the east, and the Chahars from the west will be attached to Lin Dan Khan again.

This time, in the face of the Horqin left wing, which was in urgent need of replenishment by plundering, the left wing of Uzhumuqin was considered to have suffered a lot.

And Taiji Konggol, the right-wing Taiji Konggol of Horqin, who had coveted the East Uzhumuqin grassland to the west, was even more merciless, and united with the left-wing Taiji Zhaisang of Horqin to kill all the men over the age of 12 of the upper nobles of East Uzhumuqin.

From then on, the pastures of the left wing of Uzhumuqin belonged to the Taiji Kongol of the right wing of Horqin, and its women and children, herding slaves, servants, and a large number of cattle, sheep, horses, and other livestock were all owned by the left wing of Horqin, Taiji Zaisang.

It was precisely because of the plundering of such a few relatively weak tribes along the way, when Zhai Sang led the cavalry to finally rush back to Baiyintao, the vitality of Horqin's left flank could be regarded as recovering to a certain extent, otherwise it would be difficult for the Horqin people, who had lost a large number of subordinates, to survive the long cold winter on the grassland.

And it was precisely because of this untrustworthy plundering of his former ally in the steppes of Eastern Mongolia that he felt the need to send someone to Shenyang to obtain the understanding of his brother-in-law, son-in-law, and suzerain, the Golden Khan Huang Taiji.

Of course, after Huang Taiji repaid the ritual in Manzhu, and also under the persuasion of his concubines Zhezhe and Bumu Butai, he finally forgave and tolerated what the Horqin people did on the grassland.

However, after such a major change, the large and small tribes in the Eastern Mongolian steppe not only disappeared a lot at once, but also strengthened the determination of those tribes that had previously belonged to the Ming Dynasty.

For example, the Kulun Division, due to Enkhbayar's timely rebellion, the Kulen Department was not only preserved in front of the Ming army and the Karaqin army, but also escaped the plundering of the Horqin people on the way back to the division because of the strong assistance from Liaodong Town.

An important reason for the sudden separation of the Eastern Mongolian steppe from the Horqin people and the Houjin State behind them was, of course, the defeat of Horqin and the treachery after the defeat.

Corresponding to the subsequent northward migration of the Korqin left flank, the Uzhumuqin right-wing tribes and the Kashketeng people who were close to the sphere of influence of Chahar Lindan Khan, as well as the Abaga and Sunit tribes around Dalainuoer Lake, fell to Chahar again and sent envoys across a large area of Gobi Sandy Land between the east and west of Monan, that is, the Hunshandak Sand, to surrender to Lindan Khan again.

After seeing the situation on the steppes of Eastern Mongolia, the Duolun tribe, who was unwilling to endure the oppression of Chahar Lindan Khan, soon sent an envoy south to Xuanfu Town, and contacted Deng Zuyu, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Xuanfu Town who had built the city in the north to defend the city.

At that time, Ni Yuanlu, the imperial history of the Xuanfu Town Supervisor, happened to be in Deng Zuyu's army to inspect the construction of the city, because there was a precedent of Chen Renxi, the imperial history of the Liaodong Town Supervisor, to appease Karaqin, Ni Yuanlu immediately accepted the annexation of the Duolun Department, and together with Hou Shilu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu Town, jointly reported the Duolun Department's annexation to the Ming Dynasty.

The Xuanfu was very close to the Beijing Division, and the news of the Duolun Division's annexation soon spread to the Military Aircraft Department.

Although the Duolun Department is not large, with a total population of only a few thousand, it is strategically located in an important place, and the water source is abundant and the grassland is fertile, which is a rare treasure land in the north of Xuanfu.

After Emperor Chongzhen got such news, of course he was very happy, and quickly agreed to the request of Hou Shilu, the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, and Ni Yuanlu, the imperial history of the supervising army, and at the same time, the Military Aircraft Department proposed to appoint Hadan Batel, the head of the Duolun Department, as the Marquis of Muyi, and ordered him to send his eldest son Erdemutu to study in the Emperor's Ming Zhongyi Lecture Hall, and at the same time rewarded a batch of money, grain, and ordnance, and allowed him to open a border market in Guyuan and Xuanfu Town.

At this point, the pattern on the grassland outside the north of the Ming Dynasty, with the failure of the Horqin people to conquer the Karaqin Department, further changed in the direction favorable to the Ming Dynasty, and the defense situation outside the Ming Ji Town and Xuanfu also underwent favorable changes.
