Except for the unlucky Handu, the rest of the Qinghai Mongolian tribes really ran away.

They crossed the Dangjin Pass and came to Aksai Kazakh Autonomous County hundreds of years later. But at this time, Aksai was not a Kazakh station.

Most of the people living are Tibetans, but there are also a small number of Mongols and Saliweiyuan (Yugur)

These people, in the early Ming Dynasty, belonged to Han Dongwei, and the successive commanders were all Mongolian nobles.

During the Zhengde period, Handongwei declined, and the various departments fled to Jiayuguan.

It was assigned and resettled by Ming officials, and only a small number remained in the original territory. For the next hundred years, because the Aksai region was so poor, the rulers of all ethnic groups did not take it seriously.

Currently, Babai Khan rules the Turpan region, and Muhammatisha and Zhuo rule the Hami region.

Buddhists who did not want to convert were either killed or fled. But on Aksai's side, no one has been paying attention to it, just asking them to pay tribute and pay taxes.

Ozir led more than 70,000 Mongolian tribesmen, easily crossed the Dangjin Pass, and immediately took a few monks to contact the local chiefs of various ethnic groups.

Under the auspices of the monks and the majesty of the cavalry, thousands of people of all ethnic groups who believed in Buddhism all supported Dayan Khan Ozir. and mustered together a thousand troops, followed the Ozir to fight, and slaughtered the party city (Subei County) in a hurry.

On the side of Dangcheng, scattered to see some small Mongolian tribes, the total number of people is only two or three thousand, and they also have no ability to resist in the face of the Mongolian army.

And they were fed up with the oppression of Muhammatisha and Zhuo, and even forced them to convert, and this time they simply followed the Ozir rebellion and counted the ball.

Continue to go north along the Dang River, which is Dunhuang!

"Kill!"

Here in Dunhuang, there is no city wall, and the lord's name is Ebedullah.

Ebedullah, that is, the first Hami Hui king canonized by the Manchu Qing Dynasty. At this time, not only did he not claim the title of king and khan, but even his Domhammaitisha and Zhuo were only Hami Berks (similar to high-ranking officials) appointed by Babai Khan.

Although Turpan and Hami were the territory of the Yarkand Khanate, they were in fact in a state of separation.

Ebedullah was eating melons in Hami when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves and shouts of killing from the south. Without saying a word, he went to put on his armor and went out to check what was going on, but he saw his soldiers fleeing with wolf whiskers, some soldiers wearing armor, and some soldiers didn't even have time to put on armor.

"What's wrong? An officer asked: "The Mongols have come from the south!"

"Let's go!"

With his wife and children, and a few hundred remnants of his soldiers, he rode in the direction of Hami.

They are all Mongolians, although they have different beliefs, but the ability to run away is engraved in their genes. There was no city in Dunhuang, and the enemy army suddenly killed, and Ebedura had no time to gather troops, so he could only flee to the city of Hami first.

Twelve-year-old Galdan was riding a horse at the moment, and there were many cavalrymen of his age.

This chased and slashed aliens along the way, and as long as they did not surrender on their knees, even innocent people would be killed. As for those who surrender, those who are willing to convert are spared death,

Those who did not want to be converted were enslaved.

It's a pity that Ebedullah ran too fast and didn't meet Galdan.

Historically, Galdan destroyed Yarkand and canonized Ebdullah as Darkhan. After the victory of the Qing army, Ebedullah defected and was canonized by the Qing court as a first-class Zasak.

But he said that Ebedullah fled back to Hami, and when he saw his father, he said: "The Mongols are coming, quickly recall Balikun's troops, and go to Turpan for help!" “

The elite main force here is partly stationed in Hami and partly in Balikun.

Balikun was originally inhabited by Mongols, and it was Heshute Mongol, and it was a family with the Mongols in Qinghai. Gushi Khan borrowed troops to conquer Qinghai-Tibet,

But the tribe that remained in Balikun was killed by Babai Khan and left the station.

All who did not leave converted their faith.

Muhammatisha and Zhuo were shocked: "Is it the Mongols from Qinghai who are here?" ”

"Mostly," said Ebedullah, said.

The father and son quickly sent envoys, one to Balikun in the north to recall the troops, and the other to Turpan in the west to ask for reinforcements.

Less than half a day after the envoy left, 10,000 Mongol vanguard troops were killed.

At this time, the city of Hami was small, but the Mongols were not good at attacking the city, so they could only plunder around the city.

When reinforcements from Balikun arrived, the Ozir also arrived with the main Mongol force, and the two sides confronted each other a few miles north of Hami.

The troops in Balikun were all fanatical believers from southern Xinjiang. At the beginning, Babai Khan and Muhammat Tisha and Zhuo really couldn't defeat the Mongols, so they went to southern Xinjiang to get these people to fight jihad.

The Mongols were driven away, but the fanatics did not leave, and the leader became the lord of Balikun. I don't pay much tax in normal times, and I have become a separatist force. Specifically, it is like this: Lord Balikun is a vassal of Hami Burke, Hami Burke is a vassal of King Turpan Khan, and King Turpan Khan is a vassal of King Yarkand, all of which are in a state of secession!

The number of Balikun fanatic believers was small, only more than 3,000 horsemen, but all of them were covered in strong armor.

After a moment of confrontation, the Balikun cavalry actually took the initiative to attack, attacking the tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry on the flank.

The Mongol cavalry had intended to follow the tradition, shooting arrows back and forth first, and then charging at the right time. But the Balikun cavalry didn't care, they just rushed straight forward, some of them were hit by several arrows, and they were still charging.

Not to mention the backwardness of equipment, the Mongol cavalry lost in momentum.

In the face of more than 3,000 enemy charges, tens of thousands of Mongolian soldiers subconsciously dispersed to dodge, wanting to open up the distance and continue to fly kites and shoot arrows.

The Balikun cavalry rushed too fast, and more than a thousand Mongolian cavalry were bitten, and they were instantly rushed to pieces. Batur next to him led several cadres to try to encircle him, but after those Balikun cavalry broke the formation, they accelerated and rushed towards Batur again.

The list was afraid of death, and more than 3,000 barikun reinforcements were killed, but only more than 200 people were killed, so that they broke through the resistance of the Mongol army and ran all the way to the city of Hami.

The Mongol cavalry pursued them and were repulsed by the defenders.

The leader of the reinforcements was angry at the head of the city: "Why don't you go out of the city to cooperate?" ”

Muhammatisha and Zhuo said: "The Mongols are deceitful, and I am afraid that they will seize the city. ”

Open the city gates! The leader of the reinforcements shouted.

Muhammatisha and Zhuo said, "You are outside the city, and when you are fighting, you can cooperate with the inside and outside, but it is not good for all of you to enter the city."

The leader of the reinforcements was angry, but he had no choice but to rest outside the city.

Muhammatisha and Zhuo were afraid, not only afraid that the Mongols would take the city,

I am also afraid that these Balikun fanatics will take over the city. He is not fake, but the ambitions of these Balikun troops from southern Xinjiang are visibly expanding with the naked eye.

Hami and Balikun are more akin to a partnership.

Balikun helped Hami resist the Mongols in northern Xinjiang, and Hami provided Balikun with all kinds of material aid.

Muhammatisha and Zhuo looked to the west, and when Babai Khan's reinforcements arrived, he would lead his troops out of the city and launch a general attack.

Turpan.

Babai Khan is also under attack, and the enemy is none other than the Hoshute Mongols from the north!

Under the leadership of the monks, the Dzungar Department took advantage of the weakness to occupy Mobei.

However, the Heshuo Special Department went south to fight with Yarkand, and even killed all the way to Hotan last year.

It stands to reason that relying solely on Mongolia in Heshute and being attacked by Yarkand would be thankful, it would be impossible for them to take the initiative to attack.

However, something went wrong inside Yarkand!

After Abdullah Khan unified Yarkand, he began to centralize power, sending his sons and cronies to serve as governors in all provinces of the country to take away the power of local lords.

Six years ago, he had made a pretended pilgrimage to Mecca, and suddenly came back halfway to see which nobles would rebel.

As a result, the alien (lords) really rebelled and elected his eldest son as the lord of the country!

Abdullah Khan easily quelled the rebellion and killed all the lords who opposed him. And then..... What about the eldest son? What about those cronies who follow the eldest son?

He wanted to lure the snake out of the hole, but he brought out his own son and many of his own cronies.

In desperation, he threw his eldest son to be the local governor, and then killed those cronies who participated in the rebellion.

But the rift has already appeared and can no longer be repaired.

The eldest son, Jolevas, feared day and night that his father would kill him. After becoming a local governor, he vigorously supported the Baishan faction and Zhuo, and secretly connected with other governors.

The other governors, all of whom were close to the king, were tools to weaken the lord.

But they became governors, and they wanted more power, and they wanted to become lords themselves.

Coupled with the fact that the king killed a group of his cronies, these governors became afraid,

This is like this, and the eldest prince is eye-catching.

Heshute Mongolia encountered snow and cautiously went south to plunder, just to grab some food, but found that Yarkand's combat effectiveness had decreased sharply.

Quite simply, the governors of Yer played the trick of raising their own respect, and the harder the Mongols grabbed it, the more power they could gain. The eldest prince and the governors of various places, while raising the Kou, on the other hand, pacified the Kou, and the official position and power continued to grow. Then he really began to preserve his strength, and he always avoided big battles, for fear that his strength would be damaged and he would be taken by the king to take the opportunity to get rid of him.

Such a fool was punished last year, and Heshute Mongolia almost killed southern Xinjiang.

You can't rob southern Xinjiang every year, Turpan and Hami, because of doing business with China, they have been fat in recent years, so they came to rob Turpan this year.

Babai Khan of Turpan is already old, and his son is not very successful.

I made a lot of money doing business with China again, and I just enjoyed it, anyway, the Mongols were robbing southern Xinjiang and never came to his territory once. The petty lords of Turpan were also keen on annexing land and raising slaves, and had not fought with the Mongols for more than ten years.

Now the Mongols have killed Turpan, it is like no one, and the nobles have all led their troops to retreat in the city, allowing the Mongols to sack the big bazaar outside the city.

"Hami's reinforcements haven't arrived yet?" Babai Khan was agitated.

The envoys of the two sides have already met halfway through.

They dismounted and greeted each other and then began to communicate.

"There are Mongols in Hami, please send troops to rescue quickly!"

"There are also Mongols in Turpan, and I went to Hami to rescue the troops.

The two groups of messengers looked at each other, with big eyes and small eyes.

The city of Turpan, which was bigger, could not be captured by the Mongols, so they sacked the bazaar and withdrew to the northern frontier.

On the Hami side, the Ozir could not be captured either, so he simply led his troops to Balikun.

Seeing this, the Balikun reinforcements went crazy and took the initiative to catch up and fight, because their people were still stationed and could not let the Mongols kill them.

Muhammad Tixia and Zhuo were forced to lead their troops out of the city to help, and if he didn't help, he wouldn't want to mess around.
