After Huaxia controlled most of the provinces in Gansu and Shaanxi and annexed the three northwestern provinces, there were still Suzhou (Jiuquan) Province and Suzhou General Soldier Hai Youfen, Ganzhou (Zhangye) Province and Ganzhou General Soldier Feng Shuo, Liangzhou (Wuwei) Province and Liangzhou General Li Yumei, and the small warlord Anxi General and Anxi Prefecture Governor Zhang Yuzhang did not surrender. Of course, these warlords, large and small, did not still have a heart of attachment to the Qing court, but because they had the support of the Mongol tribes nearby or because they were far away from the main force of the Xia army, they were not willing to give up their identity as overlords and become a nominal and real empty nobleman under the rule of Huaxia, and they were not willing to go thousands of miles to the South and West to start anew.

Of course, these warlords also knew that their disobedience would inevitably lead to the attack of the Xia army, so in the autumn and winter from the 8th to the 9th year of Wucheng, they put aside their prejudices and connected with each other, and at the same time colluded with the Mongol tribes to prepare for stubborn resistance.

As the saying goes: There are a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no thousand days to prevent thieves. Because the Huaxia side is still only concerned about consolidating the territory in hand for the time being, and does not care about expanding to the north, these warlords who collude with each other and intrigue with each other have the idea of striking first to become stronger, not to mention occupying Longdong to achieve hegemony, but at least to delay the time for Huaxia to go north.

The abacus is quite beautiful, but if you want to use a coalition army of less than 20,000 people and a detached appearance to face the 70,000 or 80,000 garrisons in Longdong and Shuofang, even if these garrisons have now been changed to military cantonments, Hai Youfen and others don't have the courage.

While he was in a hurry, the envoys of the Qing court crossed the steppe Gobi to bring Kangxi's will.

According to Kangxi's will, the most powerful Hai Youfen entered the third-class Jingqi Hani Fan (viscount) and was awarded the governor of Gansu; Feng Shuo was promoted to the rank of 1st class Asihani Hafan (baron) and promoted to the governor of Gansu; Li Yumei entered the second-class Hada Hahafan (light car captain) and carried from the Han Army's Blue Flag to the Han Army's Yellow Banner, and also awarded the second rank of the Han Army's Yellow Banner Deputy Commander; Even Zhang Yuzhang, the Anxi staff general who only had a mere 800 horses in his hand, also hitched a ride this time, not only to enter the knighthood that some people could not expect to get in their lifetime, but also to be promoted to Gansu as an envoy.

Of course, the empty title was not beneficial to improve the situation of the four people, but fortunately, the Qing envoy led the Minister of the Guard, and Shang Zhilong, the head of Heshuo, also brought Kangxi's edict to Alxa Erut, Ordos and other Mongolian tribes. As the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, although the strength of the Qing Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, but relying on the marriage with the princes of Inner Mongolia and the remaining deterrent power of the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, who was far away in Beijing, could easily order the two Mongols to aid the four towns. This makes the four towns of Gansu, which usually grovel to the influence of these tribes, but have never received a good face, like a treasure and a tiger.

However, even with the promise of the Mongols to send troops, spring is the season when all things breed, and it is also the season when the steppe mare is conceived, so the Mongol soldiers said that they would not send troops until the autumn was high and the grass fat eagle flew. How could the four towns of Gansu that were thieves be dragged on until that time? So they were afraid that the night would be long and they would have many dreams, and they chose a relatively stupid target - Tashibatu Khan of Qinghai to persuade them.

So Shang Zhilong rushed to Qinghai again in a tiger skin. Of course, he worked so hard not because of the thick coins sent by the four towns, but to help the Qing court stumble Huaxia behind his back. Perhaps in his opinion, Shang Zhixin's death was self-inflicted, and since he was the master of the Qing court, he was naturally no longer a Han Chinese.

Shang Zhilong found Tashibatu Khan, and before revealing the conditions of the four towns, he lied that Kangxi was going to canonize him as Prince Heshuo and Qinghai Khan. Tashibatu Khan, whose strength and ambition were not commensurate, were suddenly overjoyed, patting his chest and promising to be a loyal dog of the Qing court. However, after all, he would never obey orders lightly without meat and bones.

Only then did Shang Zhilong say that the conditions of the four towns were nothing more than promising Xining and Hezhou to Tashibatu Khan.

As the tenth son of Gushi Khan, Tashi Batur Khan has always had the intention of taking the whole of Qinghai and regaining the Lhasa Khan court from the Dzungar people after enriching his strength, otherwise he would not have peeped at Gansu again and again. Now that I heard that Huaxia's foothold was not stable, and most of Xining, Hezhou and other places had become white land, there was no strength to stop him from herding horses, so my mind moved. The fashionable lord struck while the iron was hot, presented him with gold, silver and jewels from the four towns, and promised the Qing court that he would support him in retaking Tibet, and that regardless of whether the attack on Xining and other places was smooth, the Qing court would send craftsmen to cast the long-desired cannons for him.

Finally, Shang Zhilong said that he moved the profit-hungry Tashi Batur Khan. Ignoring the Mongol tradition of not sending troops in the spring, Tashi Batur Khan personally led his 5,000 tribes to drive cattle and horses into Xining and Hezhou, in a vain attempt to establish his rule before the arrival of reinforcements sent by the Chinese court.

Although Huaxia had a division in Xining, it was at this time implementing the military cantonment, and by the time the Mongol tribe of Jueqing came to attack, it was too late, and although most of them had safely withdrawn from the fortified forts that had been built in advance, they were isolated from the isolated strongholds by the cavalry of the Heshute people, and lost contact with the outside world.

Huang Tao, the commander of the 5th Division of the Gongsheng Army, was willing to go out of the city to fight with the existing 4,000 troops in Xining City, but considering that even if he defeated himself, he would not be able to pursue the opponent on horseback, but if he failed, the whole situation could be shaken, so he was forced to abandon the idea of going to war and let Tashbatur Khan's troops besiege his own fort.

Fortunately, the Mongols' siege ability was as tragic as before, so after several unsuccessful attempts to attack, Tashi Batur Khan, who had accepted the lessons of the previous failure in the attack on Gansu, simply gave up the surrounding area of Xining, except for leaving a small part to continue to cut off the road, the main force was suddenly inserted into the line of Hezhou and Lanzhou, which gave Longdong a great shock.

In view of the fact that his side did not have the ability to fight with the Mongol cavalry in the wilderness, he constrained all his troops to stick to Tunzhuang and not to meet the battle without authorization, and at the same time urged the second division of the Iron Cavalry Army, which had already driven to the territory of Fengxiang, to immediately reinforce Longdong.

With the assistance of the three provincial governments, on April 11 of that year, the Iron Cavalry arrived at the Longdong Theater.

"My lord, it's a Mongol sentry!" Riding a war horse as sweaty as him, the old non-commissioned officer, who had the title of the lieutenant of the guard, yelled at the leader who heard the sound of the gun and looked for him. "There are thirty horsemen, and the mallets and big heads are all martyred."

The military attache of Koban, who was still suffering from pimples, narrowed his eyes and ordered intolerably: "Change horses!" ”

The Second Division of the Iron Cavalry Army is one of the seven cavalry divisions that the Xia Army can use to ride battles, and the war horses driven by its troops are mixed-breed horses that are significantly higher than ordinary Mongolian horses, but the number of such good horses in the Xia Army is also limited, so it is impossible to use them as extravagant for daily riding, so each officer and soldier actually has two mounts, one of which is a Mongolian horse for daily loads, and the other is a mixed-breed war horse used in wartime.

As soon as they changed horses, the Heshute people who chased them from a distance came closer, and when they saw the war horses under Xia Jun's crotch, they were all suspicious, and they subconsciously slowed down. Taking advantage of the Mongol decline, the ranger sentry quickly formed a tight line, first slowly, then jogging, and approached the opponent mainly against the guests.

The Mongols on the horse laughed mockingly, and in the eyes of the steppe people who grew up on their horses, Xia Jun's riding tactics were like a toddler of a child who could just stand, and how could he be worthy of the tall horse under his crotch. Therefore, for a while, all the jealousy of Xia Jun was gone, and his face turned to a greedy look.

The Heshute restarted their horses, but by this time the two sides were close enough to shoot a round of arrows.

Of course, the Mongols will not be soft, I saw that they bent their bows and arrows to shoot, but they did not think, there was a sudden almost unanimous loud noise on the opposite side, after the smoke of gunpowder, the Mongolian knights who met the enemy did not fall much, but the war horses under the crotches of these natural riders who were also soldiers and herds had unexpected chaos.

Although the Heshute people quickly controlled the war horse, the opponent had already killed the front. The Mongols didn't have time to shoot, so they dropped their soft bows, took out their scimitars, and met them, but how could there be four or five weapons on the other side swinging at them together? In a moment of astonishment, the Mongolian rider fell under the horse unwillingly.

Although one of the Xia horsemen was successfully killed by the Mongols while charging into battle, the Xia army's formation was more like an iron comb, and after being combed by it, the oncoming Heshuotes were pestled to the ground. Such a result was not acceptable to these Qinghai Mongolian tribes at all, so after turning the horse's head, the two sides collided again.

However, to the horror of the Mongols, the result of this collision was still the same, the Xia army only suffered a few casualties, and the original thirty horsemen of Heshute were only two or three out of ten.

"There are ghosts! They have demons to help! "The Heshute people shouted in confusion, these Mongols who were brainwashed by Lamaism have long since lost the martial arts of the 6th when they swept through the Eurasian Congress, and they are even more unbearable to turn around and run away at this time." Go back and ask the lama to do it! ”

"What are those Tartars calling on?" Although he didn't know how his opponent suddenly became cowardly, the team leader still stopped his subordinates from pursuing. "Forget it, don't chase it, go and see, Tang Jiu and a few of them can still be saved, as for the Tartar who is not dead, remember to mend the knife??????"

Similar encounters were repeated in Hezhou and Lanzhou, and when Tashi Batur Khan finally gathered his scattered troops, he counted a number that made him almost faint, and the Mongol cavalry of 500 or more than 500 men was lost in such an inconspicuous skirmish.

Looking at the questioning gazes of the taiji around him, Tashi Batur Khan felt that he could not fight like this.

"Withdraw, let's retreat to the edge of Qinghai Lake, rest while grazing, as long as the Han people dare to step into the grassland, it is time for them to taste the bitterness." Tashbatur Khan's words were both to appease his subordinates and to give himself confidence. "I don't believe it, we Mongols can't consume the Han people on the steppe???????"
