Wild above. The torrent of cavalry was intertwined. The sound of the clanging and the neighing of the horses were all connected, and no one was spared, each with only two catties. Choose, kill or be killed, until the sunset, both sides have been exhausted, the victory and defeat are gradually clear, countless corpses are piled up on this grassland, the Dzungar people have a stronger killing intent, and the cavalry of the Mongol tribes in the south of the desert has obviously no intention of fighting again, the disappointed Ezhe Khan was protected by a group of blood-stained cavalry regiments, and finally sighed, turned the horse's head, and led the remnants to flee to the east, how could the Dzungars let him escape easily, shouting and starting a chase, but soon, they also stopped their horses and began to camp, After all, after a whole day of repeated battles, most of the people have collapsed, although the Dzungars have won the victory, but they have also received the greatest casualties since the eastward advance, a full 50,000 people have been sleeping since then, and the wounded are innumerable, and no one has the heart to start a pursuit.

Thousands of blood-stained Mo Nan cavalry hugged Ezhe Khan and escaped out of Baili overnight, only then reined in the horse to rest, the dark cloud of defeat shrouded these survivors, many people could not lift their spirits, and even the camp tent did not have time to tie up, fell asleep, woke up, around the leaders of several tribes around Ezhe Khan began to discuss, after the defeat, Mo Nan Mongolia was almost wiped out, and it was no longer able to fight, and now what to discuss is how to keep their tribes as far as possible from the Dzungar cleansing.

Some people proposed to surrender to Mo Nan and surrender to the Dzungar Killing Dan, and some people proposed to attach themselves to the Ming Dynasty and use the power of the Ming Dynasty to expel these Dzungar bandits, the two sides argued endlessly, due to the defeat of Ezhe Khan, at this moment can no longer suppress these Mongolian princes, after all, the Mongols respect the strong, and Ezhe Khan led them to defeat the battle, so naturally he has a lot less respect. They all made their own proposals, but no one asked Ezhe Khan what he meant.

"No matter what, the Yugar people are also our Mongolians, this is our Mongolian's internal affairs, how can the Han people interfere?"

"At least the Han people don't want Shuizhuo, don't graze cattle and sheep, if anything, they won't occupy our pastures, these hillbillies of Junggar are coming from the western frontier, can they surrender to him and let them return to the western frontier?"

"The Mongols have never submitted to the Han Chinese, and would rather submit to Galdan than let the Han people look down on them

"With the Han people and a bowl of soup to drink, the Dzungar people occupy the Monan grassland, will we all die?"

After some arguments, Ezhe Khan sat cross-legged and silent, he naturally knew the rules of the steppe, and also knew that his reputation had fallen to the bottom, so he did not make a decision, those Mongolian princes were fighting with each other, until they were almost about to use the knife, Ezhe Khan got up and held down the handle of the knife, and several guards of the sweat tent immediately drew their knives and surrounded them, and the princes of more than a dozen clans turned pale at once. also drew their swords one after another, Ezhehan snorted coldly and put the knife back into its sheath, and glanced at these princes with disdain: "If the quarrel goes on like this, the Dzungars are coming, and at this time, there are even bastards discussing the surrender of Galdan, Geldan came to Monan with his cavalry, just to be ashamed of the snow, to rob our cattle and sheep, pastures, and women, can you become lambs and let the hungry wolves put away their fangs?" ”

After all, Ezhe Khan's words still have some weight, some of the princes who supported the submission of Galdan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, there are many Mongolian tribes, and the Dzungar tribe belonged to the slave tribe under the Golden Horde during the Temujin period, and then was expelled to the western frontier, and now the eastward march of recuperation is naturally to seize the grassland of Monan, as for the Mongol tribes in Monan, I am afraid that even if they surrender, they will be killed, even if the Dzungardan is in a good mood and let them go, it is estimated that the departments will have to move their butts and change positions to bask in the sun in Western Xinjiang.

"I have made up my mind, and all the departments will move to the vicinity of Liaodong to get in touch with the Han people and enlist the support of the Han people." Ezhe Khan is not an idiot, the whole of Monan Mongolia can submit to Geldan, but the Chahar tribe, as a golden tribe, cannot, the Chahar tribe has always enjoyed great appeal among the Mongolian tribes, will Galdan let himself go? But the Han people are different, although the Han people and the Mongols are feuding, but the Mongols live in the grassland, even if the Han people conquer the Mongols, they will not directly intervene in Jingli, at most they will send troops, he Ezhe Khan is still Ezhe Khan, and the Chahar people can still put horses on the Monan grassland, just like many foreign races Although they invaded the pass, most of them will still return to the grassland after looting, because they do not know how to farm, let alone how to manage.

Sheng Jing, the governor of the Liaodong Army, Yamen.

Wang Zhijin, the governor of the Liaodong Legion, who had not been in office for a long time, was chatting with several nobles of the Wulilen Department, after Wang Zhijin was ordered to form the Liaodong Legion, he immediately invited these Wulilen people near the Great Xing'an Mountains to Shengjing, the establishment of the Liaodong Legion was different from the Guannei Legion, the ordinary Legion was three fire battalions, a mountain battalion, a death battalion, and an artillery battalion, while the Liaodong Legion abolished the mountain battalion, after all, it was an unobstructed wilderness, and the mountain battalion had no place here. The abolished mountain battalion was changed to the Huodi battalion, and in addition to the configuration of the six battalions of 30,000 people, two additional cavalry battalions were added, for a total of 40,000 people.

Nearly a thousand people were invited to Shengjing. Mutual trouble was specially arranged for them to live in a house. Some of the Wulilen people all served as riding and hunting instructors, and were specifically responsible for hand-training cavalry, but these people could only practice, but they did not have the right to lead the troops.

For these Wulilen people, Wang Zhijin is given preferential treatment, especially these nobles, every three or five times always called into the governor's palace to study and study the tactics of horsemanship, after all, Wang Zhijin's theoretical knowledge is still there, but what he lacks is experience, often discuss with these people, discuss, record some of the cavalry's tactics, to the top of the day, Wang Zhijin from a thousand households to the governor in the eyes of many people is naturally shit luck, and because of this, Wang Zhijin has worked harder, while managing military affairs, on the other hand, studying cavalry all day long, If you have a little experience, you will immediately write it down.

Wu Leng's leading name is buy Chase Si, the name is very tongue-twisting, this person has seen some of the world, when he was young, he was sent by his father to the Manchurian people as a hostage, even Guan Nei has been there, and even speaks some Chinese, due to Wang Zhijin's deliberate pulling, coupled with the fact that the people in the deep mountains are more or less pure, simple temperament, Buy Chase is now Wang Zhijin's henchman, in fact, there is another reason for Chase to have some good feelings towards the Han people, when the Manchu people were still there, the Wu Lai Leng people were recorded very heavy, The Wuli Leng tribe can be said to have a blood feud against the Manchus, and now the Han people have defeated the Manchus, it is the heart of the Wu Leng people, and they have not yet been contacted, so they have a close heart, when they heard that they were going to move to Shengjing City to help train cavalry, and also provide a rich enough life, many Wu Leng people were led out of the mountains by Chase Si.

His wife Zhijin and Maiches had a good conversation, and at this time, a guard outside the yamen hurriedly came in: "My lord, the border guard is urgent." ”

Wang Zhijin chuckled in his heart, there is only one position in the border defense of Liaodong, that is, it is close to the west of the Mongolian steppe, where the Ming Dynasty built hundreds of earthen forts, and several soldiers were stationed in the earthen forts.

After all, he was the governor of the net, and he still owed some money for his cultivation, so he stood up suddenly: "Submit it."

The guards walked to the front of the case with a hurry, and passed the emergency report to Wang Zhijin, Wang Zhijin hurriedly unfolded it, and finally put his heart at ease, but his brows couldn't help but twist into a rope, the various tribes of Mongol in the south of the country under the leadership of Ezhe Khan have taken refuge in Liaodong, in their rear, it is 100,000 Junggar iron horsemen to take the road, after the refugees from Monan Mongolia entered the border of Liaodong, Dzungar did not dare to move lightly, but obviously there is also a lot of hostility towards the Ming Dynasty, has been wandering outside the border, it is said that a messenger has been sent, The Ming Dynasty must hand over Ezhe Khan and the subordinate leaders.

"The order is that the whole army is ready for battle, and the two battalions of cavalry are assembled under the city to prepare for the westward advance, and also, immediately notify the Guannai and the Korean side, and request the Beiping Army and the Beiyang Fleet to be ready at any time to rush to the aid of Guanwai." Wang Zhijin hurriedly put on his military hat. ”

Muli Jiwei, as early as the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty set up a guard here, which is located on the border of Liaodong and the Mongolian steppe, although the guard was withdrawn now, but the Ming army set up a lot of earth forts here, for the purpose of signaling the police, and now, the Mongolian women and children all over the mountains are staying here to set up a yurt, many Mongolian women look at the west with a worried face, there are still Mongolian people arriving here one after another, but more people have not had time to escape, I am afraid that they have already died under the butcher's knife of the Dzungar people, The local Ming army detachment also began to spy west on horseback.

Ezhe Khan was still a little uneasy in his heart, although he had entered Liaodong here, it did not mean that the Dzungars would not chase after him, he planned to take the women and children of these tribes to rest overnight, early the next morning, and then continue to the east, only Shengjing is the safest.

Sure enough, the Mongols who fled one after another became more and more dense, and the pace became faster and faster, and they brought news that the Dzungars were camped forty miles west of Muli Jiwei, and it stands to reason that they had crossed the border of Liaodong, but Ezhe Khan was not a madman after all, and he was not arrogant enough to rush here to slaughter these Mongols, but he just bit Ezhe Khan and did not make an attack.

What to do? Ezhe Khan walked out of the big tent, many Mongols looked nervous and came to salute him, there are both Chahar people, as well as Sunits, Abaga people, Haozits, Zalut people, almost all of the southern Mongolians began to migrate, they were originally a people on horseback, under the order, I heard that behind them was the murderous Dzungar soldiers, overnight packed up their belongings and fled eastward, too late to escape, I am afraid there is only a dead end. Ezhe Khan is now gambling, betting that the Dzungar people still have a trace of jealousy towards the Ming Dynasty, and dare not cross the border to kill people, otherwise the hundreds of thousands of Mongols who follow him in the Monan tribe will die under the butcher's knife.

After hearing the report, Ezhe Khan immediately went over to greet him, this hundred households went to the Dzungar people to negotiate in the name of the Ming Dynasty, and Ezhe Khan urgently needed to know the attitude of the Dzungar people.

Baihu calmly faced and moved to Ezhe Khan, who hurriedly asked, "My lord, what is the news from the Dzungar people?"

Baihu said: "I'm afraid something is not good, you can't stay here, don't rest tonight, continue to flee east, I saw Dzungardan, Dzungaldan reiterated on the one hand that he was unwilling to offend my Ming, but also said that this is an internal affair of the Mongols, let the Han people withdraw from this area immediately, I'm afraid they will attack before evening." ”

Ezhe Khan was taken aback, leave now? If the Dzungardan is bent on slaughtering these people, how can these old and weak women and children go fast, I am afraid that they will definitely be caught up and killed by the Dzungars before they reach Shengjing. He gritted his teeth: "I still have 10,000 warriors here, stay here and let the others withdraw, don't you have any news from Liaodong?" ”

Baihu said: "Even if it is the fastest, it will have to wait for two days." ”

Ezhe Khan nodded his troops, turned back and went to consult with the leaders of the alliance, and the final result was that the women and children continued to march eastward, while the 10,000 strong warriors stayed to meet the enemy, at least to buy some time.

”

Geldan kicked open the stove in the big tent, several lamas and leaders on the side were silent, not daring to speak, a scout kneeling under the tent trembled, everyone knows, this Khan Dan's temper is getting bigger and bigger, especially after conquering the entire Monan Mongolia, there is a killing intent all over the body, one is not good, maybe he will lose his head, Galdan sat back on the sweat seat with a snort, swept a glance in the tent, he was most angry is the attitude of the Ming Dynasty, it stands to reason that the Ming Dynasty was the first to form an alliance with the Dzungar Department, If it weren't for the black smoke that Tagaldan tossed the whole of Mongolia, the Ming army would have been able to recover the pass so quickly? But now, Da Ming is obviously biased towards that Ezhe, allowing Ezhe to enter the border, and another bullshit hundred households came, and he was ashamed to say that he hoped that the Junggar Ministry would not enter Liaodong, so as not to cause friction.

"Hmph." Galdan snorted coldly, what bullshit, this group of Han people dared to provoke the great Galdan, no, Galdan looked at the lama on the side, it won't be long before the lama will make him Boshoktu Khan to maintain his rule in the Mongolian steppe, and the Tibetan side also promised to help 7,000 monks and soldiers to join Kaldan's command, the original Tibetans did not dare to support Kaldan openly, but now Kaldan's momentum outside the pass is like the sky, and he immediately stood on the same line with Kalden without hesitation, Galdan hammered the handle of the sweat seat fiercely, and scolded in his mouth: "Sooner or later, those Han dogs will be good-looking, wolves will always be wolves, and those docile Han dogs will always only be worthy of feeding hungry wolves."

A stout Dzungar general stood up and bowed to Galdan: "Han Dog is ashamed to reconcile with it, why don't you let me lead a team of warriors as the vanguard, and immediately set off to kill Muli Jiwei."

The muscles on Dzungaldan's face twitched a few times, and then he shook his head: "Don't be reckless, now is not the time to turn your face with the Han people." ”

The general retreated, he really couldn't figure out the thoughts of Dzungardan, and he wanted to kill Liaodong directly, but he didn't want to turn his face with the Han people.

Dzungardan sat gloomily on the sweat seat and was silent for a while, and said to a lama on the left: "Is the envoy sent by the tsar still in the camp last time?" Call him in. ”

"Khandan Lama is still Kaldan's henchman Tashi Dorjee, he is not only the lama's henchman, but also Kaldan's right and left hand, at this time, seeing that Dzungaldan asked about the tsar's envoy, he couldn't help frowning: "Venerable Master and I both think that it is better not to contact the tsar for the time being, the Han people are now vigorous, once they fight, I am afraid they will not be able to take advantage of anything, not to mention that the tsar heard that he was fighting with others in the west, so he couldn't care about it at all, at most he just made some empty promises."

Dzungardan sighed and dispelled his thoughts, in fact, in the past year, Russia has already sent envoys to try to contact Dzungaldan, at the beginning the Manchurians were not destroyed, and the Dzungar Ministry did not unify the steppe, and the Ming Dynasty was still in the honeymoon period of the alliance, so naturally ignored these Russians, but with the change of the situation, coupled with the attitude of the Han people towards Ezhe Khan, Dzungardan couldn't help but feel on fire in his heart, and he hated to make peace with the Tsar and tear his face with the Han people, but Tashi Dorjee's suggestion was also very reasonable, After all, Russia could not give him substantial help, he had newly occupied the Monan steppe, some Mongolian tribes in Mobei had not yet been annexed, and the position of Great Mongolia had not yet been stabilized. ”

Tashi Dorjee closed his eyes, sighed lightly, and said: "The best way is to go back, return to Monan, to conquer Mobei, and appease those tribes who have not fled with Ezhe, slowly lick the paper wounds, and when the time comes, show their fangs again, and fight a decisive battle with the Han people." ”

Dzungardan nodded, forcibly suppressing the fiery ambition in his heart, at this time, I am afraid it can only be like this, he slowly opened his mouth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Cheap Ezhe, this bastard, one day, his head and the head of the Han people will be placed in my king's tent." ”
