"Naadam" is a Mongolian language, also known as "nair", which means "entertainment, games". Every year, the fourth day of the sixth lunar month (the season of July and August of the solar calendar) begins and lasts for 5 days. The earliest record of Naadam's activities is Genghis Khan, inscribed on a stone cliff in 1225 in the Uyur Mongolian script (ancient Mongolian).

According to the inscription of Genghis Khan inscribed on the stone cliff, Naadam originated in the early days of the establishment of the Mongol Khanate. As early as 1206 AD, when Genghis Khan was elected Great Khan of the Mongols, in order to review his troops and maintain and distribute pastures, he held the "Great Khuligtai" (Great Gathering), which brought together the leaders of various tribes to hold Naadam activities. Since then, Naadam activities have been held every time to celebrate military exploits, sacrifice flags, military and civilian gatherings, alliance flag gatherings, and Ao Bao sacrifices.

At first, only one of the competitions was held, such as archery, horse racing, or wrestling. By the time of the Yuan Dynasty, Naadam had been widely practiced in the Mongolian steppe region and gradually became a military sport. The rulers of the Yuan Dynasty stipulated that Mongolian men must have three basic skills: wrestling, horseback riding, and archery.

The above are all formal records, in fact, from between the lines, we can see the military nature of Naadam, so we can deduce that Naadam has no written record: the mobilization meeting for the looting of the Central Plains every year!

Every year in June of the lunar calendar, the livestock on the grassland are fat, and at the same time, the crops in the Central Plains are about to mature. At this time, the Naadam assembly was held, and the robbers gathered to discuss how to loot, and to choose the leader of the troops for the minions to practice. When the crops in the Central Plains are harvested, the robbers will rush into the Central Plains.

It was almost June, and the Zasaktu Khan of Chahar was preparing to hold a meeting of Naadam to gather all the nearby Mongol tribes to see how to go to the Ming dogs in the south to loot for the winter. Minggou harvested the crops in the fields, and when they were done, it was the turn of the heroic Mongols to harvest everything Minggou. However, recently, it seems that the Ming dog on the side of Jizhen has become much stronger, and the tribes near the border have lost a lot. The Jurchens in the east did not stop, and the tribes on the edge of the Great Khing'an Mountains suffered heavy losses.

The Mongols must all be gathered so that there will be enough strength! An arrow can be easily broken, but an arrow can't be broken! This time, Zasaktu Khan was condescending and noble, and planned to invite Dalai of the Horqin tribe of Aru (Shanbei), Chagan (Mongolian "white" meaning, that is, daylight) of the Xibei tribe of Nenkorqin, and the Karaqin tribe and the Ordos tribe of Monan to come to Chahanhot (Chahanhot, now Soboriga Town, Bahrain Right Banner, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia) to discuss. The tribes of Mobei don't need to call them for the time being.

Zasaktu Khan (1539-1592), the third Khan of Chahar, whose real name was Tumen, succeeded to the throne in 1557. During his reign, he promulgated a legal code internally, forming a unity of internal and foreign affairs (Zasa is the Mongolian legal code, and Zasaktu means the maker of the legal code); Externally conquered the Daur and Erikts (the ancestors of the Evenks). He also invaded the borders of the Ming Dynasty several times, which the Ming Dynasty called Tuman. Because of his reign of more than 30 years, the Ming Dynasty also referred to Chahar Mongolia as a barbarian.

Tumen has always thought that he is the natural successor of the Golden Family, the king of the Mongolian steppe, and naturally he is also the order in the Horqin steppe. After all, he has the heirloom jade seal in his hand, and he has conquered the Daur and the Erikts, and has also formulated a code to be passed on for eternity! But the message the messenger brought back gave him a slap in the face!

The Alu Korqin Division, the Monan Karaqin Division, and the Ordos Department are all there, but there are many fewer small and medium-sized tribes under their jurisdiction. The small and medium-sized tribes under his jurisdiction were even more miserable, and those close to the Great Khing'an Mountains and Jizhen disappeared, leaving only piles of ruins.

The Nen Korqin Xibei tribe was united, and the number of people increased, but the old people were all gone. They themselves said that they were also attacked by the Jurchens, and the old man sacrificed himself to save the tribe. The current increase in numbers is the result of constantly sheltering the wandering Mongols, and it is said that they can only resist the Jurchens by clenching their fists. It seems to make sense.

Judging from the information brought back by the messenger, the losses of their own Chahar tribe were the greatest, and the losses of the Alu Korqin Division, Monan Karaqin, and Ordos Divisions were smaller than those of the Chahar Division, and the strength of the Xibei Division increased instead, and basically the strength of the various Mongolian tribes in the Horqin steppe was leveled. In this case, Chahar's right to speak will be problematic, will the Alu Korqin Division, the Monan Karaqin Division, the Ordos Division, and the Nen Korqin Xibei Department still listen to their own words? If those two-headed guys in Mobei knew about these situations, would they still take themselves seriously? No, the most likely thing they can do is to inquire first, and if they leak a flaw, they will immediately attack directly and dismantle Chahar!

Whatever you worry about, you can come. When the people from the Alu Korqin Division, the Monan Karaqin Division, and the Ordos Department arrived, the Tumen knew that something was wrong. The people from the three tribes were all heavily armed young men, with a few horses per man, and at least they were all wearing leather armor. Murderous, standard combat status.

When Saibeibe appeared, the tense atmosphere was raised to the extreme! There were a lot of women in Xibei, but unfortunately they were all women with wide arms and round waists, and they were also wearing leather armor, and they immediately hung swords, guns, bows and arrows. There are still many people in the team who are in reserve and are carrying iron armor and extra weapons, and the murderous aura is even stronger than the previous three. What's even more odious is that they also recruited the three divisions of Mobei, which is also murderous. Damn, are you here for "entertainment, games", or are you here to "open the film"?! It's more tricky than the old boy!

Chagan's bastard kept saying that no one believed it now, and his tribe had been attacked several times by guys who claimed to be friends, and if it weren't for the sacrifice of his old age (in fact, they would have returned to the Nenjiang Plain. The tribe is already finished! Now everyone is here, all of them are spread out, who did it?! There was no basis for the words, and he also took out a large number of weapons, armor, flags, and other things that were said to be captured, as well as human heads (they were all Mongol heads anyway, and there were no tribal markers.) And ask the other tribes to come out and claim it! The standard thief shouts to catch the thief.

The bastards in Mobei shouted for "justice, fairness, and openness", and the whole frame of "petitioning" and making trouble shouted: If the Tumen are unfair, please hand over the jade seal of the heirloom country, anyway, everyone has the bloodline of the golden family.

Tumen is an old fox, calm down, the iron-blooded man under his command does not have that kind of temperament, and he can't argue with Xibei, who has sufficient evidence, so he is ready to reason with a knife. Who didn't bring a knife?! Not to be outdone, the iron-blooded men of the other seven tribes drew their swords one after another and prepared to reason.

The old fox is the old fox, he eats a lot of salt and walks a lot. Tumen hurriedly quoted scriptures, swore by gambling curses, promised to investigate and punish severely, and also made a majestic rage, temporarily suppressing everyone's anger. Since they couldn't talk, they went home, and Nadamu didn't participate, and the seven tribes left angrily. When they were gone, the Chahar people realized that there were a lot of slaves, cattle and sheep, and a few tents and yurts, and they didn't know that those bastards had done it.

Dozens of miles to the east, a mysterious team slowly withdrew eastward, leaving no chickens and dogs behind.

Shuerhaqi, Bai Tianming and the Ye family brothers are playing a nonsense calculation, and it is best to take advantage of the chaos to attack the royal court of Tumen, kill the Tumen family, and completely disperse the Mongols in the Horqin grassland; At worst, they will not be able to hold a meeting, and they will be suspicious of each other; Holding the sheep is only a side effect. However, Chahar is worthy of being a "palace guard" (Chahar means "palace guard"), although the venue was chaotic, but the periphery of the defense was not relaxed, so that Shulhaqi, who was preparing to do a big job, returned in vain.
