Chapter 614: Kuku and Tun

Naturalization City is the name given by the Ming Dynasty to Kuku and Tuncheng, but this name is only circulated in the Ming Dynasty, and in the mouth of the Outer Mongolians, Altan Khan built this fortified city in the south of the Haravun Mountain and on the east bank of the Hatun River, and the official name has always been called Kuku and Tun.

It also has a nickname called Dabansheng City.

Bansheng means house, and Dabansheng means big house.

Before the appearance of Dabansheng Castle, the Mongol tribes on the Tumo River were nomadic, and few settled as villages, so there were few houses built of earth and stone outside of felt tents.

The reason why Kuku and Tun are also called Dabansheng is because Altan Khan first built majestic palaces and temples in this place.

There have never been such palaces and temples in this steppe, so the Mongols of this generation called this place Dabansheng.

When Lin Dan Khan entered Kuku and Tun, Dabansheng was no longer a few isolated palaces and temples.

After more than 100 years of continuous construction, Dabansheng has developed into a majestic city on the Tumo River.

At noon on the twelfth day of October in the second year of Chongzhen, Lin Dan Khan's younger brother Gutu Taiji entered the city with hundreds of his subordinates in disgrace and dust, and entered the city from the north gate of Kuku and Tun.

Soon, the news brought by Ututhaiji caused chaos in Kuku and Tuncheng.

Lin Dan Khan, who was in the prime of life but looked old because of excessive wine, hurriedly summoned a group of relatives and nobles in the city to come to his palace in Kuku and Tuncheng to meet and discuss countermeasures.

A group of Red Lamas and the nobles and eunuchs of the Chahar Department were divided into two factions and quarreled.

Tashhai and Huluk Jaisang, the commanders of the left and right wings of the Chahar headquarters, who had been following Lin Dan Khan's westward migration, as well as the Liugu Mountain chiefs Garma Jinong, Dorzidarhan Jinong, Sonomutaiji, Badasi Jaisang, and Zitat Cherbey Jaisang and Abahai Ce Ling, all advocated continuing to move westward after listening to what the Chahar Ministry said.

However, the Red Lama Zhuoerji Hutuketu, who succeeded Sharpa Hutuktu as the national teacher, and other Red Lamas Kunga Odesir, Bandida Gushi, and Ananda Gushi, who came from Tibet to follow and serve Lin Dan Khan, resolutely did not agree to continue the westward migration.

The two groups of people who looked down on each other on weekdays quarreled for a long time in Lin Dan Khan's palace, but they did not reach an agreement.

Although Lin Dan Khan is only thirty-seven years old this year, he has been sitting in the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia for twenty-four years, and it is definitely twenty-four years of being happy and vengeful.

In the past twenty-four years, the only fact he recognized was that he could not defeat the Jurchen Houjin Kingdom.

Therefore, when he heard the news that his younger brother Bintu had brought back from Erenhot, and learned that Huang Taiji personally led the Jurchen army and was on his way to Kuku and Tun, Lin Danhan's first reaction in his heart was to hurriedly take his eight great fortunes, all of whom were stunning, and his children, and continue to run west.

That's what he did in the original history.

But this time, the thought of continuing to run away, although it was the first to come to mind, was not the last.

Once a person has settled down from nomadism or migration without a permanent home, and has been freed from a situation of war and displacement, he will soon develop a sense of inertia and will no longer want to return to his former situation.

What's more, the current Kuku and Tun are the best places for Lin Dan Khan to find on the grassland in this era.

What's more, although the aristocratic ministers who helped him control the Chahar Department wanted to continue to escape from danger with his subordinates, the Red Sect lamas, whom Lin Dan Khan relied on very much, did not want him to leave Monan like this.

These Red Lamas from Tibet finally opened a gap in Lin Dan Khan, the Great Khan of the Mongols, and could have the opportunity to spread the teachings of the Red Religion to the entire Mongolian steppe.

Now, if Lin Dan Khan really said he would leave and completely escape from the Mongolian steppe, wouldn't all the early investment of these Red Sect lamas be in vain?

Therefore, whether it is Zhuo Erzi Hutu Ketu, who is the current national teacher of Lin Dan Khan, or Kunga Odesir, Bandi Da Gushi, Ananda Gushi, Murgen and other lamas who came to Chahar and Kuku and Tun to spread the Red Religion, they do not want Lin Dan Khan to give up Monan Mongolia like this.

A group of people argued in Lin Dan Khan's palace for several hours, but they did not decide whether to fight or defend or flee.

In the evening, the leader of the Yongshebu tribe, who had been appointed by Lin Dan Khan as the hereditary Jinong of the 30,000 households on the right wing of the Mongols, finally galloped all the way to the east gate of Kuku and Tuncheng with the remaining 4,000 or so people.

When Lin Dan Khan learned that the Yongshebu tribe stationed in Dalainorr had also been attacked by a large number of Jurchen cavalry, he immediately ordered him to summon Chorestabu and let him go to Kuku and the palace in Tuncheng to discuss things together.

On the way to the palace, he learned that Erenhot in the north was about to be attacked by the army of the Houjin Kingdom, and Lin Dan Khan's younger brother Gutu Taiji also lost almost all his troops and fled to Monan, and his heart was even more terrified.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Lin Dan Khan, he did the etiquette of the line, and immediately said to Lin Dan Khan: "Great Khan! The Jurchen soldiers are menacing in two ways, and their ambitions are probably not small! Whether my Monan tribes are fighting or withdrawing, please make a decision quickly! ”

Lin Dan Khan, who had been hesitating for an afternoon, listened to the words of Yongxie Bubu Jinong at this time, and finally spoke: "But Resi Tabu, you are Jinong personally appointed by me to come to Monan, you say, should I fight or withdraw?" How to fight? Where to retreat? ”

At present, in Lin Dan Khan's Kuku and Tunxing Palace, only one person is an outsider.

The rest of the people were either the head of the Chahar headquarters, or Lin Dan Khan's uncle, brother, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, and other relatives.

Of course, there is also a group of living Buddhas, lamas and saints of the Red Sect that Lin Dan Khan believes in more.

At this time, when he heard Lin Dan Khan ask himself, he had lived in the area of Monan Dalenor for half his life, and said:

"Since the Great Khan asked, then I will say a few words of truth!

"Two or three years ago, the Great Khan moved from the land of 30,000 households on the left wing of Mongolia on the Xilamulun River to Monan, and now he dares to ask the Great Khan, where is the land of 30,000 households on the left wing in the past?!

"If the Great Khan abandons Monan and continues to move west without fighting, dare to ask the Great Khan, where else will he go in the future?

"The Jurchens attack the left wing, the Great Khan moves west to the right wing, the Jurchens attack the right wing, the Great Khan can continue to move west to Qinghai, if the Jurchens attack Qinghai in the future, where else will the Great Khan move?!"

As soon as the words of the Resta were spoken, he heard Karma Zinon, who had previously advocated moving westward, say: "You are so bold! Now sitting in front of you is not Bu Lost, the king of Shunyi, who is Tumut, but the Great Khan of Quanmeng, the eldest grandson of Buyan Chechen Khan! ”

Slightly older than Rindan Khan, Garma Jinong was the uncle of Rindan Khan, and was considered one of the more powerful people in the Chahar headquarters.

It's just that Lin Dan Khan didn't buy this uncle, and when he saw him open his mouth to scold Jinong of Yong Shebu, he immediately shouted at him: "Galma Jinong, shut up!" Let the Gerestabun finish his words! ”

Hearing this, Garmajinon bowed slightly and stopped talking.

Seeing this, he continued: "If the Great Khan wants to fight, please also ask the Great Khan to send an envoy to Datong for help!" If the Great Khan wants to withdraw, please also ask the Great Khan to pack up and retreat to Mobei immediately! ”

But as soon as Restabu's voice fell, a tall man with a full beard and armor suddenly stood up and said, "Great Khan! But what Restabu said is reasonable! The minister is willing to immediately go to the border of Datong to ask for a meeting with the border generals of the Ming State and ask for the help of the Ming army! ”

This person is Lin Dan Khan's right-hand man, and the central army of the Chahar headquarters Wanhu Guiying Chataiji.

Guiying is the husband of Lin Dan Khan's eldest sister, Princess Uliangha, and is also the elder brother of Wuyunna Fujin, one of Lin Dan Khan's eight great blessings.

Speaking of which, this person is not only Lin Dan Khan's eldest brother-in-law, but also Lin Dan Khan's eldest brother.

His words still carry a lot of weight in Lin Dan Khan's heart.

Lin Danhan listened to the words of Kerestabu and Gui Yingcha, and finally nodded.

At this time, the national teacher Zhuoerji Hutuketu, who had not spoken, finally spoke:

"His Holiness! But what Restabu Jinong said is very reasonable! The Great Khan is a descendant of Genghis Khan, and he is a well-deserved co-owner of all Mongolians, how can he leave the common home of the Mongols in the world far behind?! If it is a last resort, please move your majesty north! In this way, even if he retreated to Mobei, the Great Khan was still the Great Khan of all the Mongols! ”

Hutu Ketu is the meaning of living Buddha in Mongolian.

The Dharma King is the honorific title given to Lin Dan Khan by the Red Lamas.

His meaning was very clear, even if Lin Dan Khan wanted to evacuate Monan, he could not leave the Mongolian steppe.

Because once he left the Mongolian steppe, Lin Dan Khan lost the meaning of following and serving to them.

"What the national teacher said is light! The army retreated to Mobei, but if we had to cross the real Hanhai, it was not the sand nest we had on the way west three years ago! Now that the frost has fallen on the grassland, how many cattle and sheep can I have left in Chahar after crossing the Hanhai?!

"What's more, now that the Jurchen Tiancong Khan Huang Taiji is leading a large army from Erenhot to the south! We retreat to Mobei, in case we put it head-on, wouldn't it be self-defeating! ”

Garma Jinong, who had just been reprimanded by Lin Dan Khan, didn't care about the status of Zhuo Erzi Hutuketu in the eyes of Lin Dan Khan, and when he heard his attitude, he immediately refuted it.
