While the South China Sea is full of treacherous clouds and storms, the northern land is already full of blood.

At the beginning of August, after confirming that the Xia army, which was marching on the southern front, seemed to have no intention of intervening in the internal disputes of the Khalkha Mongols before the completion of the post stations along the route to maintain the safety of the grain route, Wangzaldorji, the Khan of the Tushetu Khan, finally could not bear the ambition in his heart and decided to immediately launch an attack on the Zasaktu Khan, unify the whole of Outer Mongolia, and realize his dream of becoming the Khalkha Great Khan.

In fact, the timing chosen by Wangzaldorji was not good, as snow would fall in the Transkhakha region in late August and early September, and it would be difficult for him to deal with his opponent before the onset of winter unless the Zasaktu Khan was willing to fight him.

But Wangzal Dorji also has no choice, there have been 6 Cossack cavalry crossing the border in the north of Khalkha, and the Qing army on the line of the Ergun River in the east of Khalkha is fighting with the Russians, no matter who wins or loses on both sides in the end, the winner will inevitably enter Outer Mongolia, and the shape of Outer Mongolia will inevitably be more chaotic at that time, and it will be absolutely impossible to deal with the enemy in three directions with a single Tushetu Khan, not to mention that the Dzungars may also intervene at that time.

It's just that after the Tushetu Khan has already fought hard, the unresistible Zasaktu Khan finally made the decision to defect to Huaxia with difficulty, and Xitu used the military might of the Huaxia people to resist his aggressive kindred.

"Lord Gu, the warriors of this king have reported that there is still half a day before they can reach the Selenga River." Riding on a mixed-race horse gifted by Huaxia, the king of East Khalkha, Umerke, who felt very good, introduced him to Kuching. "Now that the Tushetu Khan is facing off against the Zasaktu Khan on the riverside, we are rushing over to attack Wangzaldorji back and forth."

"Don't worry, isn't the battle not fought yet, now rush over, in case Wangzale Dorji turns around and runs away, where can I find such a good opportunity again." Kuching clearly has other plans. "By the way, my lord, the troops who went to Erdeni Zhao (Guangxian Temple) to greet Jebzundan Bahutuktu should almost arrive, right?"

Umerke asked a few Mongolian words to the entourage of several auxiliary princes and An Guogong, turned around and reported to Kuching with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Gu, this king's warriors should have won at this time??????"

Umerke was right, just when the coalition forces were still unhurriedly advancing in the direction of the Selenga River battlefield, the cavalry of the 3,000 Chechen Khans had already entered Erdenizhao along the way, dispersed the remaining troops of the Tushetu Khan department, and surrounded the Guangxian Temple before the Tushetu Khan's big tent reacted.

The sudden attack not only caught Tushetu Khan's subordinates off guard, but also made the monks in the temple feel that the end was coming, but Jebtsundamba Hutuktu Losang Danbei Gyaltsen ignored the persuasion of the obedient monks and walked out of the temple amid the sound of killing. Seeing this supreme religious leader of Transkhalkha appear in front of him, hundreds of soldiers below the third-class auxiliary prince of the Chechen Khan, Ba Xuanjinong, who led the troops to surround the temple, fell to their knees in unison.

Looking at the neat Chechen Khan tribesmen kneeling outside the Buddha hall, and listening to the noisy killing sound in the distance, Lobsang Danbei Gyaltsen pinched the white bone Buddha beads, turned the skull wheel, and recited the Buddhist scriptures for the dead. Under his inspiration and leadership, the monks of the temple also chanted, and for a time it was solemn, which formed a sharp contrast with the surrounding hellish scene, as if the heavenly Buddha kingdom had descended into the world.

After a long time, the chanting stopped, and the great living Buddha from the Zasaktu Khan Department asked Ba Xuan Jinong, who raised his head, in a calm tone: "But the Chinese people have sent troops?" ”

Ba Xuan Jinong was stunned for a moment, and then replied respectfully: "Great Living Buddha with boundless wisdom, what you said is right, the Celestial Empire has sent troops. ”

Luosang Danbei Jian sighed in admiration: "Only those who have been blinded by ** will think that Xia Jun will repair the post station all the way to Erdeni after summoning it, and then fight with it." It's confusing. I don't know how many of the people of the Tushetu Khan tribe will survive this battle. They are all children of the grassland, why can't they put down the butcher's knife? ”

Thinking that Jebtsundamba was rubbing time, Ba Xuan Jinong boldly said: "Please also ask the Great Living Buddha to move." ”

Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen nodded and said, "Okay, and ask this noble man to send me to the front of the army, maybe there will be time to eliminate the military disaster." ”

It is a pity that the compassionate Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen obviously did not have time to rush to the battlefield.

On August 15, the fifteenth year of Wucheng, the Tushetu Khan and the Zasaktu Khan fought a decisive battle on the banks of the Selenga River, and the Tushetu Khan, which had 35,000 troops, had an absolute advantage at the beginning, and the Zasaktu Khan, which had only 15,000 people, was defeated.

However, seeing that the final victory was within reach, 7,000 Chechen Khans and 5,000 Darigang Aibu suddenly appeared from the flank, and for a time the precarious situation was reversed.

In the end, Tushetu Khan's troops had many soldiers, and soon took the initiative again, but a fatal blow followed, and the fourth division of the Xia Army's Iron Cavalry Army struck out from behind and pounced on the Khan banner of Tushetu Khan's department with an unstoppable momentum. Although Wangzaldorji did his best and even did not hesitate to draw troops back to help him by shaking the front, in the face of the group's charge of the Xia army, any Mongol cavalry that tried to stop it was not able to unite with it.

Forced by the invincible offensive of the Xia army, Wangzaldorji had to throw down the sweat banner and flee with wolves. As soon as Wangzar Dorji fled, the Tushetu Khan's hope of victory was completely ruined, and the battle ended with 15,000 casualties and 5,000 captured.

The Tushetu Khan was defeated, but the Chinese coalition army also suffered a lot of losses, the Xia army aside, only the Chechen Khan had 2,000 casualties, and the Darigang Ai Department also had more than 1,000 casualties, and the casualties of the Zasaktu Khan, who initially independently resisted the Tushetu Khan's department, were particularly heavy, with 3,000 dead in the battle alone, and the rest were basically wounded.

In this case, the Chinese coalition forces were unable to continue the pursuit, and a major battle came to an end.

Wangzar Dorzi, who fled all the way back to Erdenizhao, was still breathing, but even worse news ensued - Jebtsundamba, who was the last resort, was taken away in advance by the Chechen Khan - and he suddenly fell ill in a fit of rage.

Go? Tushetu Khan's subordinates began to talk a lot, some mentioned that yì fled north to attach the Russians, and some mentioned that yì went east to take shelter under the Qing court. In a state of panic, the emissary of Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen brought a letter from Kuching to appease.

On the third day of the ninth month, the rested Chinese coalition army returned to Erdenizhao.

Under the hateful gaze of the Zasaktu Khan and the Chechen Khan, Wangzaldorji presented Kuching with the golden seal of the Khan and the map of the pastures led by the 37 banners of the Tushetu Khan issued to him by the Qing court.

Kuching, who accepted the submission of the Tushetu Khan, then punished the Tushetu Khan on behalf of the Chinese court, and drew out the seventeen banners in the central and southern part of the 37 banners to form the left three-tone Noyan division and the right three-tone Noyan department. In addition, the remaining pastures of the Tushetu Khan were also reduced, and the reduced part was divided into two parts, which were divided into Chechen Khans and Darigangai.

"Next, the imperial court will select a local garrison under the rule of the king of Eastern Khalkha County." After the surrender ceremony, a meeting of the Princes of Transkhalkha was held in Kuching to convey the will left by Zheng Kezang. "It will be around the Sutai River in Uriya to help the Zasaktu Khan defend against the attack of the Dzungar side."

Tsewang Zab, the leader of the Zasaktu Khan and the king of Western Khalkha County, immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and came out to salute Kuching and said, "Please convey your courtier's gratitude to the emperor." ”

"It doesn't have to be this way." Kuching stretched out his hand and said. "Since Khalkha is a vassal of the imperial court, the imperial court naturally wants to protect the safety of all departments." Kuching then changed his tune. "However, I also ask the prince of Cewang, the prince of Wu, Tushetu Khan, and the left and right Sanyin Noyan Khan to go to the mainland to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Lord after the beginning of spring next year."

Kuching couldn't say it clearly, but the few people present knew very well what it meant. Among the five princes, Tsewangzhab and Umerke were going to thanksgiving, while Wangzale Dorji and the left Sanyin Noyan Khan Danjin Luobuzang, and the right Sanyin Noyan Khan Galdan Tsering Doba were going to receive the title of the Huaxia Dynasty and show their loyalty, which were all trips that had to be made.

The five most powerful men in Trans-Khalkha then expressed their attitudes one after another: "It should be so, after the beginning of spring, I will definitely go to the mainland to pay homage to the supreme emperor." ”

Kuching then said to Jebtsundamba Khutuktu, who was sitting on the side: "At that time, it is better to invite the Great Living Buddha to go to the Hajj to the Son of Heaven, so that the loyalty of the people of Transkhalkha can be seen." ”

This is not a request, but an order, for the strength of Huaxia, Lobsang Dambe Gyaltsen can only respond: "I heard that the emperor has built a new (Huangjiao) temple in Chengde, and he is about to go to pay respects. ”

After explaining the Hajj, Kuching said, "The Holy Word has been sent to me that Tangnu Ulianghai is a Khalkha territory and should be under the rule of the Imperial Court. Therefore, it is necessary to ask a few princes to send people to appease, and it is best to make a pilgrimage to the holy car after the beginning of spring next year. ”

A few people are naturally happy to help with this casual little favor, as for whether the Tangnu Ulianghai people will go or not, it is another matter.

"That's very good, so let's talk about the war." Kuching's gaze fell on Umerke's face: "The Oros are fighting with the Qing court on the front line of Erguna, and they may not enter the Eastern Khalkha, so I also ask the prince of U to be prepared to deal with it, and once there is a police, this official will immediately dispatch the Darigang Aibu to support." "Actually, it's not just about the Chechen Khan." The situation in the west is the same, the military city of the imperial court is not well built in a short time, and if the Dzungar people attack the Zasaktu Khan at this time, the Sanyin Noyan army must support unconditionally. As for the crossing of the border in the northern Oros, this official will personally deal with it, and after the princes return from the mainland, it will not be too late to ??????."
