"If the marshal is interested, Monan Mongolia is willing to send troops to help the marshal crusade against Hu and Lu." Badali solemnly mentioned it.

Let Hu Helu become a victim, of course, it is a good thing that the Mongolian leaders present are happy to see, this is a kind of consensus, because Hu Helu and his tribe are very strong, and they are the enemies of southern Mongolia, not to mention, the Hulunbuir steppe is very rich.

Southern Mongolia, Western Mongolia and Northern Mongolia are regional and tribal concepts that emerged after the division of Mongolian tribes into three parts decades ago, and desert refers to the Gobi Desert on the Mongolian Plateau. The Gobi Desert is located in the eastern and southern Gobi of southern Outer Mongolia, the Gobi Altai and the western Erenhot area of the Xilin Gol League. After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the northern Mongols were divided into three major parts with the desert as the center. In the south of the desert, the tribes are called Monan-Mongol, and those that belong to this part are: Korqin, Zarat, Dulbot, Bahrain, Zalut, Naiman, Khalkha, Maomingqi, Wulazhi, Karaqin, Uzhumuqin, Chahar, Tumut, Ordos and other departments. Their distribution area is "connected to Shenyang and Heilongjiang in the east, Yili East Road in the west, the Great Wall in the south, and the desert in the north, stretching for more than 10,000 miles."

To the north of the desert, it is called Khalkha Mongolia, which belongs to the Chechen Khan, Tushetu Khan, Sanyin Nuoyan, Zasaktu Khan and other departments, and the distribution area is east to Hulunbuir City of Heilongjiang (now the territory of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region), south to the Hanhai, west to the Altai Mountains (now the border of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region), and north to the border of Tsarist Russia.

The western part of the desert is called Moxi Mongolia, that is, Oirat Mongolia, and the Dzungar department, Heshute department, Turghut department, Dulbert department, and Huite department belong to this part. Its distribution area extends from the Altai Mountains in the east to the Ili River basin in the west.

Most of the above-mentioned Mongolian tribes lived on water and grass, engaged in nomadic herding, and were politically not subordinate to each other. In order to plunder livestock, land and property, and to compete for dominance, there were often conflicts between tribes, killing and conquering each other. In order to protect oneself, to strengthen oneself, from being ruled and enslaved by the other. After the Later Jin became strong, these tribes established ties with the Later Jin regime, including the Oirat Mongols.

The Jianzhou Jurchens arose in Hetuara and controlled the Jurchen tribes. Nurhachi founded Houjin and gradually expanded into the grasslands of Inner Mongolia. The Mongol Chahar Lindan Khan (Huduntu Khan) was on the one side and also had ambitions to reunify Mongolia. The Korqin Sixth Division and the Khalkha Fifth Division, located between the Houjin and Chahar Divisions, became important objects of contention between the two sides. Ming'an, the minister of Horqin, and Xibe and Gualcha, the two divisions of the Khalkha department, participated in the nine-part coalition army against Jianzhou, and after the defeat, the minister of the Horqin department, Oba, first served the Houjin. Lin Dan Khan led his troops to attack Oba across the Xing'an Mountains, but was defeated by the Houjin army at Zhaocheng (in present-day Keshiketeng Banner, Inner Mongolia). Among the five Khalkha tribes, Xibe and Gualeta were also defeated by Houjin and Lin Dan Khan, and the rest of the three tribes of Bahrain, Wengniut, and Zarut also surrendered to Houjin one after another. Houjin also induced the four divisions of Tumut, Ao Han, Naiman, and Karaqin, who were the eastern strikers of Chahar, to leave Lin Dan Khan and annex them. Lin Dan Khan shili day cut.

In the first year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the Later Jin soldiers broke Lin Dan Khan in the area of Sirha, Xibotu and Yingtangtu (now the line from Linxi to Keshiketeng Banner in Inner Mongolia), and Lin Dan Khan Shili was expelled from the West Liao River Basin. In the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty and the Mongolian tribes attached to him attacked Lin Dan Khan on a large scale. Later, the Jin army braved the rain to advance westward, crossing the Xing'an Mountains to the Dale Desert (now Dalai Ruoer, Keshiketeng Banner, Inner Mongolia). Lin Dan Khan did not expect the enemy to suddenly arrive, crossed the Shangdu River and ran westward, and his troops scattered seven or eight out of ten along the way. Lin Dan Khan fled to Karamangnai (now the Shangdu of Inner Mongolia), and when he heard that the pursuing army was coming, he hurriedly left the city of Guihua (now Hohhot). It crossed the Yellow River to the west and south. Later, the Jin army scattered in pursuit and issued a proclamation to disintegrate the Chahar tribes. After Huang Taiji entered the naturalization city, the soldiers rode out in all directions and captured a large number of people. The remainder of Tumut was also reduced to Houjin. In the seventh year of Ming Chongzhen, Lin Dan Khan died in Qinghai. The following year, the Houjin army continued to attack the remnants of Chahar, and Ezhe, the son of Lin Dan Khan, surrendered to his mother to pass on the national seal. The Ordos Ministry was also merged by Houjin. So far. All of Mongol in southern Mongolia were unified in the Later Jin.

The Oirat Mongol is the general name of Moxi Mongolia, and the Hulunbuir steppe belongs to a branch of the Oirat Mongol tribe, and they belong to the Dulbert Department. In fact, it is also the foundation of the Korbi Mongols in the past, Korbi was originally the arrow of the grassland in Mongolian, and the meaning of the guardian was only because of some later reasons to migrate to the Korbi grassland. The most powerful leaders of the Dulbert tribe were the Qing court's canonized Zhenguo Gong Selen and Karma. The Hulunbuir grassland is the territory of Seleng, and Hu Helu is Seleng's younger brother, and he is in charge of the southern grassland of Hulunbuir.

Both Selen and Karma had entered the customs with the Qing army, and had repeatedly made meritorious contributions in the Qing army's conquest of various Mongol tribes.

In fact, they are all descendants of golden families or nobles, but years of strife and mutual disobedience have caused disputes between Mongolian tribes, and the Mongolian tribes closest to the border of the Ming Dynasty will always sway from side to side due to the principle of survival. Whoever is stronger will defect to whom, the Ming court is now more prosperous, and the southern Mongolia that survives in the cracks is equivalent to making a choice.

"What will happen to the territory of the Hulunbuir grassland in the future?" Zhou Huchen knows the Mongols very well, and it is not realistic for Monan Mongolia to conquer Moxi Mongolia by itself, if you add yourself, the result is no longer necessary.

"But by the command of the commander." Badali burst into ecstasy.

Zhou Huchen's meaning has actually shown that expanding the territory and increasing the herdsmen's population is the dream of every tribe, Zhou Huchen's bait is too big, the grassland of Hulunbuir is vast and fat, plus the area of mountains and forests, this is already a boundless temptation.

Zhou Huchen smiled slightly and said his plan: "What I need is conquest, because the distance is far, so the Hulunbuir grassland can have a new owner." However, before the canonization of the imperial court, envoys must be sent, and a quick battle is needed, and the order of the Hulunbuir grassland needs to be maintained. "Zhou Huchen had already planned that it would be better to establish a new order than to keep the entrenched local leaders in Hulunbuir, which would be more conducive to his own control.

This is the same as the Jianzhou people using the Mongols to conquer, but the difference is that the meat thrown by Zhou Huchen is fatter and more affordable.

Badali couldn't sit still: "Handsome and wise! It is not impossible to combine two flags into one flag, and the pasture is the herdsman's home, and you can be nomadic when you pack up your tent. According to the herdsmen's report, the supply of the marshal is about to arrive, and when to send troops to ask the marshal to give orders. ”

"The migration of the herdsmen can't be controlled, and the head of the head can't be controlled by the head of Hulunbuir, but Tushetu Khan is loyal to the court, and he is willing to be the pioneer of the court, and the marshal will report to the court, and the court will have its own reward."

If I give you a Hulunbuir, you will give me your life, which is justified, but the division of Hulunbuir has nothing to do with me, it is a dispute between you Mongols themselves, whoever occupies it belongs to whom, and you can also coordinate it yourself. I am responsible for the future canonization, this is Zhou Huchen's strategy.

"Handsome and Wise"

"Willing to be a pioneer of the imperial court"

"Moxi Mongolia can go down overnight"

"Pointed out by the commander of the soldiers"

As soon as Zhou Huchen spoke, it was no longer Badali's turn to answer, and the Mongolian leaders were immediately in chaos, which was a major matter related to long-term interests. Everyone in Monan, the head of Mongol in Monan, knew that it would be easy for Zhou Huchen to lead the army to take Hulunbuir, but what happened afterwards was too tempting, how much would the territory and population increase? Who can sit still?

This was the result he expected, and Zhou Huchen calmly enjoyed his results.

"Everyone is quiet~ Listen to the big handsome finish speaking, and listen to the arrangement of the Great Khan!"

The chaotic scene continues, and Manzhu Xili finally gets impatient, because he may be the biggest beneficiary. Badali is Tushetu Khan, it is impossible for him to leave Monan, if he goes to Hulunbuir, it is really possible to add a Khan.

The hearts of the Mongolian leaders were still hot, but when it finally cooled down, the scene finally calmed down slowly as Manzhu Xi Li spoke.

The fire was just right, Zhou Huchen spoke: "Since all the leaders have this intention, then it's okay, according to the population of each tribe, go out to conquer Hulunbuir, this marshal is responsible for fighting a tough battle, and the territory and people after taking Hulunbuir will be distributed according to your own merits, Ben Shuai needs horses, so I want to select some of Hulunbuir's horses, and how about the rest of the captured leaders negotiate by themselves?" Of course, Ben Shuai can't not want it at all, Erguna, the northernmost point of Hulunbuir, will be my garrison! ”

"Dashuai is a kind person, I think that's it!" Without the slightest hesitation, Badali agreed.

Erguna is located at the northwest foot of the Great Khing'an Mountains, at the northern end of the Hulunbuir grassland, and on the right bank of the Erguna River. Erguna was once the backyard of Genghis Khan's golden family, where Genghis Khan recuperated and from here, conquered most of Shijie. Although it is regarded as the backyard of the golden family, it is a relatively barren part of Hulunbuir. Of course, Zhou Hu has no problem with wanting an Erguna Badali, conquering Hulunbuir, his own territory will be expanded, more pastures can be obtained, and the herdsmen under him will increase, and a barren Erguna does not look at him at all.

Of course, Erguna is not the same thing as the city of Erguna in later generations, it is not bounded by the current Erguna, but an unfixed regional concept. In the northeast, you can control the boundless mountains and forests of the Great Khing'an Mountains and the land further north, and to the northwest it is even more vast, which is equivalent to having touched the pulse of Siberia.

Zhou Huchen's occupation of Erguna was a tactical consideration, and he needed a new order. Since the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty in China, Siberia has been divided into Chinese territory, but it is basically uncontrollable, the local climate is unusually cold, and there are few people, so it is very difficult to control. Zhou Huchen wants to change this situation, he wants to leave an army in this strategic place, and the Inner Mongolians who have gained the benefits will go out as his hunting dogs to bite. This territory was important, and he could not grasp the future for a long time, so he left a military base in case of contingency. In the future, this territory will belong to Mo Xiancheng, the foundation has been laid, and whether it can achieve Zhou Huchen's expected goal will depend on the Mo family. (To be continued......)
