"Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain, the sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. X sky is blue, wild, wind-blown grass and low cattle and sheep. ”

This folk song of the Xianbei people has been passed down to future generations because it has been translated into Chinese.

The Elechuan mentioned in the folk song of the Xianbei people is the Tumo River in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, or the Tumut Plain, which is the so-called Southern Mongolia in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Mongolia is divided into Monan, Mobei and Moxi, which is a matter after the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, raised an army against the Yuan, and after more than ten years of fighting, he finally overthrew the rule of the Mengyuan Empire in China.

Emperor Yuan Shun, the last emperor of the Mongol Yuan Empire, fled to the Mongolian steppes north of the Great Wall and continued to serve as his Northern Yuan Emperor.

After the death of Emperor Yuan Shun, the Mengyuan Empire soon declined rapidly in the battle for the throne.

In the Yongle period, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di took advantage of the weakness of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to lead his troops out of the Imperial Expedition five times before and after, and beat the declining Northern Yuan Empire into all directions, and soon fell apart.

After that, the Mongol tribes in the steppes of northern Cyprus were divided into two large tribes, the Warat and the Tatar, as well as small tribes.

First of all, the rise of Warat, the leader of Warat, and his son also abolished the Mongol Khan at will, and appointed themselves prime minister and prince, and later simply killed the Mongol Khan from the golden family and established himself as the Mongol Khan.

Later, in the tug-of-war with the Ming army that lasted for many years, Warat fell into civil strife and strife, and the Tatars took the opportunity to rise.

Later, Tatar Dayan Khan, who was born in the Golden Family, also known as the legendary little Tatar prince Boyan Mengke, unified the Tatar tribes, and then defeated the Warats and drove them to the Western Regions.

After the Warat tribes moved westward, they were stationed in Qinghai and the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and became Moxi Mongolia, that is, the Oirat Mongolian tribes.

After occupying the entire Mongolian steppe, Tatar Dayan Khan divided the entire Mongolian steppe into six Tumen Wanhu on the left and right wings.

Dayan Khan personally led 30,000 households on the left wing, namely 30,000 households in Chahar, Khalkha, and Uliangha, and divided one of his sons as Jinong, and commanded 30,000 households on the right wing, namely 30,000 households in Ordos, Tumut, and Yongshebu.

After the death of Dayan Khan Boyanke, the Tatars also fell into division, and none of the descendants of Dayan Khan obeyed anyone.

In the end, 30,000 households on the right wing of the Mongols, under the leadership of the Tumut chieftain, one of Dayan Khan's grandsons, broke away from the control of the Mongol left wing and established themselves as Altan Khan, the Altan Khan who built the Dabansheng cities of Kuku and Tun.

Since then, the various tribes to which the 30,000 households of the Mongolian right-wing divided by Dayan Khan have evolved into Monan Mongolia headed by Tumut.

The 30,000 households of the Mongolian left behind by Dayan Khan or the 30,000 households of the Mongolian headquarters were passed down from generation to generation, and finally passed into the hands of the eldest grandson of Buyan Chechen Khan, Lin Dan Batur.

This son is only a pound of Lin Dan Batur, and he is the famous Lin Dan Khan.

Because its Khan number is Hutu Ketu, it is also called Hudun Rabbit Khan by the border town commander of the Ming Dynasty.

When it comes to the history of Mongolia after Lin Dan Khan's accession to the throne, it is really a long story.

Lin Dan Khan, who ascended the throne at the age of thirteen, has a very similar fate in history to that of Emperor Chongzhen.

When the last Mongolian Great Khan had just succeeded to the throne, he was surrounded by wolves, and the Mongolian steppe that he took over was also in chaos, not only the 30,000 households on the right wing of Monan were out of control, but most of the 30,000 households on the left wing of the Eastern Mongolian steppe did not obey the command, and Lin Dan Khan was able to actually control only the Chahar Department led by himself.

At the same time, the teenage Lin Dan Khan had to deal with the growing power and expansion of Nuer Hachi.

If Lin Dan Khan had enough political wisdom, perhaps he would still be able to maintain the three-legged situation of Mongolia, Jurchen and Ming Dynasty, and seek a foothold in the Saibei steppe.

However, it is a pity that Lin Dan Khan's life is basically a life of self-death, which almost perfectly interprets the wise saying that if you don't die, you won't die.

Lin Dan Khan is a descendant of Genghis Khan, born in the Jin clan, that is, the Mongolian golden family, and is the co-head of the Mongolian tribes.

However, for the steppe peoples who have always admired strength, it is not enough to have the name of the Great Khan of Mongolia, but not enough strength.

Lin Dan Khan inherited the position of the Great Khan, although the strength of the Chahar Department was not weak, but when it came to Lin Dan Khan, it was only one of the six Tumen Wanhu on the left and right wings of Mongolia.

The three right-wing households of Ordos, Tumut, and Yongshebu, have long since stopped listening to him.

And Khalkha and Uliangha are also inseparable from him, plus a Horqin whose strength has been growing since he took refuge in the Jurchens, that is, the Mongolian tribes on the steppe of Eastern Mongolia, he can't be even.

However, in stark contrast to Chahar's strength, Lin Dan Khan's ambitions far exceeded those of his grandfather, Buyan Chechen Khan.

He hoped to unify the steppe, restore the Great Mongolian State, restore the Golden Family's rule over the entire Mongolian steppe, and even restore the glory of Genghis Khan.

Therefore, he was also full of hostility towards the rise of the Jianzhou Jurchen, but he did not accept the olive branch thrown to him by the Ming Dynasty, such as the proposal of joint operations to deal with Nuer Hachi, and he wanted to clean up Nuer Hachi himself.

As a result, it can be imagined that the leaders of the 30,000 households of the Mongolian left wing, who were barely obedient to the command, fought several battles with the Jianzhou Jurchen army led by Nuer Hachi under his call, and basically all of them failed.

Obviously he is not an opponent, but he has to provoke again and again, and he refuses to join forces with the Ming army.

Even at the same time as the war with the Jurchens, Lin Dan Khan repeatedly extorted money, grain and property from the Ming Dynasty, and led his army to attack if he did not give it.

In this way, after more than 20 years of tossing, Lin Dan Khan's territory is getting smaller and smaller, and the tribes are getting smaller and smaller, not only the Horqin tribe completely betrayed him and fell to the Houjin State, but also the Khalkha Wanhu and Wuliang Hawanhu tribes who were still obedient to the dispatch before also separated from him one after another, and most of the tribes moved north to the Troubled River Valley, forming Mobei Mongolia, and the rest took refuge in the Houjin State.

What is even more fatal than the arrogance and conceit is that Lin Dan Khan, who ascended the throne as a teenager, is extremely willful and completely disregards the consequences, including the extremely adverse consequences that can already be predicted, and does not care at all.

One of the most extreme things was to force the Mongolian left-wing tribes that he still controlled to convert to the Red Religion.

Before Lin Dan Khan, the various tribes of the Mongolian steppe almost all believed in the Yellow Sect of Tibetan Buddhism.

But when he came to Lin Dan Khan, by chance, he met a tantric Sakya lama from Tibet.

This Tibetan Buddhist Tantric Sakya lama named Sharpa Hutuktu didn't know what trick he played in front of the young Lin Dan Khan, but in short, he used one of his spells to completely impress the young Lin Dan Khan, and then carried out tantric empowerment for Lin Dan Khan, and successfully converted Lin Dan Khan to the Sakya sect of the Red Sect.

Not long later, this Sharba Khutuktu brought Lin Dan Khan a golden Buddha that Kublai Khan once worshipped, that is, the legendary Mahakala Golden Buddha, that is, the god of protectorship in Tibetan Buddhism.

In this way, this Sharba Khutuktu was soon publicly canonized by Lin Dan Khan as his so-called national teacher of the Great Mongolian State, and asked the Mongolian tribes to change their faith from believing in the Yellow Sect to believing in the Sakya sect of the Red Sect.

At this moment, not only the 30,000 households of the Mongolian right-wing were separated from him, but also the 30,000 households of the Mongolian left-wing under his direct leadership were also separated from him.

Even the Chahar tribe's own eight Etok tribes continued to flee because they were unwilling to follow their master to the Red Religion.

In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the 30,000 households of the Mongolian left wing either fled to Mobei or took refuge in Houjin, and after losing the support of the Mongolian left wing departments, Lin Dan Khan himself could not survive in the Chahanhot area.

Faced with the continuous westward expansion of the Jin state after the establishment of the captivity, Lin Dan Khan finally decided to move westward with the Chahar tribe.

Just on the side of the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor of the Apocalypse died and Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne almost at the same time period, Lin Dan Khan took the people and horses of the Chahar Department, all the way to the west to Monan, first stationed in the area of Erenhot, in the name of the golden family of the Erjin family, recovered many small tribes in this area, and the strength was replenished to a certain extent, and then took a large number of people and horses to the south, expelled the King of Shunyi canonized by the Ming Dynasty, and drove it to Ordos in the land of the Hetao west of the Yellow River.

At the same time, Lin Dan Khan, who had just arrived, also simply and rudely abolished the position of Jinong, the head of the Ordos department, and put this position,
