Moxi Mongolia is also known as Erut Mongolia, the Mongols of Hulunbuir grassland are actually only a branch of Oirat Mongolia, Erut Mongolia is called Wathorn by the Ming people, and Wathorn includes Oirat, Erut, Moxi Mongol and other tribes.

The ancestors of Warat were "Zha Yi Rati", originally inhabited in the area of the eight rivers in the upper reaches of the Yenisei River, with a large number of people and several branches, each with its own name. When Genghis Khan founded the country, there were 4,000 households in Kuduhebeg. He has a hereditary marriage relationship with Genghis Khan's golden family, and has always enjoyed a special status of "seeing the kings in front of him" in Mongolia. In the 14th century, the imperial family of the Yuan Dynasty declined, so it took the opportunity to expand its power and actively participated in the disputes between various factions. When Mahamu, Taiping, and the Balpolo were divided into Warat, Warat was quite powerful, and it was called "Forty Thousand Oirat". In addition to the upper reaches of the Yenisei River, the jurisdiction also includes the upper reaches of the Irtysh River and the Zabkhan River basin in the southeast of Kobdo. In order to fight against the eastern Mongol nobles who controlled the throne of the Khan, and then dominate Mobei, they made friends with the Ming court on the one hand, sent envoys to the Ming court, and actively fought against the eastern Mongol ruling group on the other.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the various departments of Warat were merged into the four major departments of Dzungar, Dulbert, Heshute and Turgot, and the Huite department attached to Dulbert. Its pastureland moves to the middle reaches of the Irtysh River, the Ob River and the Kazakh steppe in the northwest, the Ili River basin in the southwest, and Qinghai in the southeast. At the beginning, the Dzungar tribe was nomadic in the middle and upper reaches of the Irtysh River to the area of the Khobok River and the Sari Mountains, and later centered on the Ili River Basin. The Dulbert tribe was nomadic along the Irtysh River. The Turghut tribe was originally nomadic in Tarbagatai and its north, and after migrating westward, the Huite tribe lived there. The Heshute tribe is nomadic from both sides of the Emin River to the Urumqi area. It was also during this period of time that the Dzungar Ministry replaced the Heshute Department and became the de facto leader of the alliance. The various parts live in pastoral habitat and do not belong to each other.

In fact, the Mongols were uncertain because of the migration of tribes and the possession of pastures. Repeated conquests have turned their nomadic lands into chaos, and only they know the exact origins of their tribes.

Monan's attack on the Hulunbuir grassland is tantamount to challenging the entire Erlute Mongols, and due to geographical relations, if Zhou Huchen continues to move north or west, Mobei Mongolia will also be affected.

And Zhou Huchen was undoubtedly insidious, he intended to provoke infighting among the Mongols, exactly the same way that Huang Taiji conquered the Mongol tribes. The temptation of Hulunbuir is too great, and Monan Mongolia can't resist this temptation. Zhou Huchen also borrowed the historical hatred of Moxi, Mobei and Eastern Mongolia, a move that would undoubtedly play a crucial role in his conquest.

In the past, Huang Taiji used various means such as discord, religion, marriage, and provocation to defeat Zuihou, a Mongolian great khan, Lin Dan Khan. It also caused Lin Dan Khan to leave Gansu, and forty-nine large and small lords of the sixteen tribes of Mongol gathered in Shenyang. Recognized Huang Taiji as Khan and presented the "Bogda. Chechen Khan". The reason why the Mongols recognized Huang Taiji as Khan was because the Jurchen (Manchu) tribe and the Mongols at that time seemed to have the same ancestral relationship, and it is certain that the ancestor of Huang Taiji's father, Nurhachi, was the Mengge Timur, who was canonized by the Ming court as the commander of the left guard of Jianzhou. With the strong progress of the conquest of the Mongol tribes, and with the surrender of many of Lin Dan Khan's subordinates and clansmen, the position of the Mongol Great Khan belonged to the Jurchens, which was equivalent to the Qing Emperor, so that the Qing Emperor had the real name of ruling Mongolia.

Zhou Huchen is actually here to stir up the situation. He wants to mess up the power vacuum left by Jiannu, turn Mongolia into a mess, and then let himself profit from it.

The army moved slowly, and it was less than two hundred miles away from the Thousand Households of Haizar (Hailar). And the Mongol cavalry in front was already very close to Hailar. Soon the scouts sent a message that many Moxi Mongol cavalry had gathered thirty miles south of Hailar.

The Hulunbuir steppe was seriously underarmed, and the cavalry of several large tribes of Moxi Mongolia in the surrounding area gathered together was less than 40,000. Manzhu Xili once fought with the Emperor Taiji against the Chahar tribes, and conquered many tribes of Chahar Lingdan Khan. It can be said that he is very familiar with these Moxi Mongolian tribes. In just one morning, Manzhu Xili attacked the city of Hailar.

In the west of Hulunbuir grassland, there are two sister lakes with rippling blue waves, one large and one small, which are collectively called Lumbir Lake.

These two highland pearls nestled together are the symbols of the Lombir steppe. Hulun Lake, also known as Hulun Pond and Dalai Lake, means "sea-like lake" in Mongolian, and is known as "the first lake in the north" and "Guanghan Wonderland". Lake Bell is also known as Lake Dalinor, which means a lake with swollen shoulders and bones in Mongolian, and this lake is relatively small.

Manzhu Xili was too familiar with this area, and a different kind of excitement made him immediately start attacking westward in Hailar, and soon came to the shore of Hulunbuir Lake.

The steppe was too vast, and at this time Zhou Hu's army had just arrived near Hailar, and after a little rest, Manzhu Xili had already continued to the west to Köllezin Prague (Manchuria) after getting in touch with Zhou Huchen.

Manzhu Xili, the temporary supreme commander, is too competent, and his tactical application in the grassland is definitely much stronger than Zhou Huchen.

It's a blitzkrieg, just like back then, and the speed of the war determines the area of pasture you occupy, as well as the direction of the war. Because the nomadic lands of the Mongolian tribes are scattered, it is not easy for the Mongols in Moxi to get together, and defeating one tribe will weaken part of the enemy, not to mention that the current Hulunbuir steppe is extremely empty.

The climate of the grassland was mild in early summer, and it was in this warm season that Zhou Huchen entered Hailar City.

Hailar is not so much a city, but a fort, this small castle-like city is the nest of Hu Helu and Seleng brothers, and now, the most prosperous place in Hulunbuir has been abandoned by Hu Helu and Seleng brothers.

The next target of Manzhu Xili was Karma, and his territory was in the area of Kölezin Prague.

The life of the Mongols is simple, packing up their tents, picking up their cattle and sheep to find a new nomadic land, and it is easy to migrate. But the problem is that no matter how vast the pasture is, there are also geographical restrictions, when the herdsmen enter the territory of other tribes to carry out nomadic herding, it is equivalent to violating the territorial rights of other tribes, so the herders will not choose to enter the pastures of the rival tribes, nor will they choose barren pastures, their best choice is to surrender and submit to the new tribal leader.

The Hulunbuir grassland is the most haode pasture, the Mongols in the south of the desert are stretching, and the Mongols in the west of the desert are reluctant to give up such a rich land, but unfortunately, they have no choice, except for the heads of the people who continue to flee, and the ordinary herdsmen have given up resistance.

The Mongols have the rules of survival of the Mongols, especially the ordinary herdsmen, as long as they do not resist, as long as they give a certain amount of cattle and sheep to the new occupiers, they will have a new life and a new tribal leader.

This is the survival concept of the grassland people, with the deepening of southern Mongolia, the sky of the Hulunbuir steppe has changed. (To be continued......)
