Li Qing, the deputy commander of the Silver Fox Battalion, returned to report the emergency military situation, and at the same time, he also brought back two people, so the sergeants outside the barracks did not let them in directly.

The two people that Li Qing brought back, one of them Xiong Chu knew. It was the right-wing Taiji Nangnuk of the Bahrain Ministry who met not long ago by the Shangdu River.

Nanuk is the great-grandson of Dayan Khan, the youngest son of the Bahraini tribe Yekhbaturu, and the leader of the five tribes of Nekhalkha. On the right flank of Bahrain, next to the head of the Chahar tribe, Lin Dan Khan.

The person he didn't know, after Nanuk's introduction, Prince Xiong knew that it was Daya Taiji, the right-wing lord of Zalut.

Daya Taiji is also a young man in his twenties, and his speech is unexpectedly crepe: "It turns out that the adult is Lord Balang Khan, who is a gift from God on the Uzhumuqin grassland! ”

"I am an old friend of Nanuk Khan, so don't be polite. Prince Xiong looked very enthusiastic: "There is a regrettable rebellion here, so it is a mess for the two of you to see the joke." I wonder if the two of you came here today, what's the matter?"

Xiong Chu had received a lot of news from different sources before, all about eastern Mongolia and Jianzhou Jurchen Nurhachi, so he thought he had mastered a lot.

However, it was the words of Daya Taiji of the Zalut Department that made Prince Xiong feel that he had really touched the core issue of the matter.

The Zarut Department is one of the five "Etoks" in the Inner Khalkha.

In addition to Zarut, there are also Bahrain, Ongit, Bayuet, Uziyat Otok, in Nekhalkha.

"Etoke" means "battalion" or "department", and it is the name of a small territory under ten thousand households. It is regarded as an administrative system set up under the "ten thousand households" of Yuan Mongolia, also known as a thousand households.

10,000 households is a rough number, not just 10,000 households.

When there was no war, there might be 80,000 households under 10,000 households.

For example, Lin Dan Khan's Chahar 10,000 households exceeded at least 150,000 at most, so he dared to claim that he had 400,000 households in front of Nurhachi, and ridiculed Nurhachi as "the lord of 30,000 households".

Of course, not in the event of a war. On the one hand, many people will be killed in battle, and on the other hand, many people will be plundered by the enemy.

Especially in the turmoil of decades of war, there may only be one or two thousand households under the 10,000 households that have lost the war, and it is even possible to become a bare-bones commander.

One of the unique skills of the Uzhumuqin Department is to raise BMWs, which makes everyone salivate.

The five departments of Inner Khalkha also have a unique skill, that is, boiling eagles, so the Khalkha department is also called boiling eagles.

The five Nekhalkha tribes generally live at the junction of mountains and steppes, so they are half herding and half hunting.

Hunting in forests and grasslands is not enough to have a hunting dog, because of the limited range of vision, so goshawks are trained to provide themselves with directions. Over time, he summed up a set of secrets, and he was able to use the goshawk to inform himself of the enemy.

The Fifth Department of Inner Khalkha, located in the east of the Khalkha River (now Kharkha River) basin, that is, in the northwest of Jianzhou Jurchen, was the key place for Nurhachi to knock on the northeast gate of Lindan Khan and plunder the Horqin grassland and the Uzhumuqin grassland.

On the other hand, the greatest threat to Nurhachi was the Nekhalkha Fifth Division in the northwest.

Two years ago, Nurhachi wiped out the Yehenala tribe and solved the threat to the east of the Jurchen tribe in Jianzhou, and now he has finally turned his attention to Lin Dan Khan's side.

This is the reason why the military advisor Wan Lian always looked down on Lin Dan Khan.

Nurhachi actually showed countless opportunities to Lin Dan Khan, but unfortunately he didn't take them.

The battle of Sarhu was a battle of life and death for the Nurhachi Jurchens, and all the men over the age of ten and under the age of fifty were armed, and they barely managed to gather an army of 60,000 people.

If Lin Dan Khan was really a great khan with a slight strategic mind, he should understand the truth of falling into the well, and concentrate 100,000 elite troops of the six Chahar departments and the five inner Khalkha departments to march eastward, and Nurhachi would have turned into ashes long ago.

In the forty-seventh year of Wanli (the fourth year of the Mandate of Heaven), in the process of Nurhachi Jurchen completely annihilating the Ming army in Sarhu, Seben and his elder brother Bak of the Zalut Department sent 12,000 troops, and the Yehenala tribe sent more than 10,000 troops, along with Khalkhatai Ji Zaisai to help the imperial army.

As a result, because the main generals of the court were arrogant and ignorant, and they underestimated the enemy, as a result, more than 100,000 troops of the three routes were broken by Nurhachi's 60,000 people, and all the leading generals of the Ming Dynasty were killed.

Could it be that the various lords below do not agree to send troops?

Lin Dan Khan's Jinong and Taiji all let him move, but Lin Dan Khan hoped that Inner Khalkha, Korqin, Karaqin and Nurhachi would be defeated before they were defeated.

Unexpectedly, Nurhachi won a complete victory in only half a month, and because Seben and Bak were captured, the five Inner Khalkha tribes had to gather 10,000 sheep, 1,000 cattle, and 600 horses to make amends to Nurhachi, and ransomed Hongjirat Otokeqisenoyan and others.

After that, Nurhachi saw that Lin Dan Khan was not prepared at all, and it was absolutely impossible to harass him behind him, so he immediately moved eastward to destroy the Yehenara clan, completely relieved his worries, and his prestige was shocked for a while.

In this process, Lin Dan Khan continued to watch Nurhachi perform a gorgeous performance alone. Once again, he wasted the opportunity, and it was also the last chance that Lin Dan Khan could get in his life.

This is just what happened the year before last, and the people below are not fools, and a master like Lin Dan Khan is unreliable, so the Horqin Fourth Division east of Chahar simply did not do anything and surrendered Nurhachi directly.

With the destruction of the Yehnara tribe and the surrender of the four tribes of Korqin, Nurhachi finally found himself directly confronted Lin Dan Khan. The only thing that has any scruples now is the left flank of the Chahar Department of Lin Dan Khan, that is, the Fifth Department of the Inner Khalkha.

And the closest to Lin Dan Khan are the Bahrain Department and the Zalut Department, so they have become a thorn in Nurhachi's side and a thorn in the flesh. If you don't pull out these two thorns for a day, you won't be able to attack Lin Dan Khan boldly for a day.

"Dear Lord Balang Khan, I am here today because of one thing. Dayataiji finally said: "We have received information that Nurhachi has secretly sent Yolei and Ishamu out to take some action against us Zarut. There is no doubt that Nurhachi is about to take action against our Zarut Ministry. ”

"The experience of history tells me that our Great Khan, that is, Lin Dan Khan, is unreliable. Once Nurhachi attacks, Lin Dan Khan will definitely kill us behind our backs. So I didn't go to Lindan Khan, but to Nanuk Khan. ”

"It was Nanuk Khan who told me that not long ago, Balang Khan swept thousands of miles to defeat the army of the Khan of Transkhalkha and Chechnya, and stopped the rebellion of the Uzhumuqin tribe in time. So I took the liberty to visit today to see if there was room for the three of us to cooperate. ”

"Lord Balang Khan, the right flank of our Zarut division is just southeast of you, bordering the left flank of Bahrain. If we are destroyed by Nurhachi, you will have to come face to face with him. ”

Dayataiji's last few words were telling the truth, but they also had a threatening tone.

Xiong Chu knew in his heart that Daya Taiji was not really trying to threaten himself, but to tell him about the huge crisis he was currently facing, thus expressing Daya Taiji's eagerness to hope for an alliance between the three families.

"I'm very happy that Lord Daya Taiji can be so honest!" Prince Xiong saw Wan Lian on the side nodding slightly, so he said carefully: "The predecessors of the Han people have a good saying: lips are dead and teeth are cold. ”

"You right-wing Zarut are just like my lips. If I had no lips, my teeth would be frozen in the snow. If I want to protect my teeth, I first have to protect my lips. Aren't you right?"

Wan Lian said: "Lord Nangnuk Khan, Lord Dayataiji, what our Lord Balang Khan means is that if anyone dares to touch the right wing of your Zalut Division, he is cutting his lips, and of course he will fight with the enemy. ”

Dayataiji's face looked much better, and then he became gloomy again: "Lord Balang Khan, since the last time Seben and his brother Bak were captured by Nurhachi, they have now become frightened birds. When they heard that Nurhachi was coming, they all wanted to run away. ”

"The largest tribe on the right wing of our Zarut is me, Seben and his brother Buck, with a total of 18,000 elite horsemen. If Serben and his brothers escape, I will not be able to support the remaining 8,000 elite horsemen, and I will definitely not be able to resist Nurhachi in the end. ”

Wan Lian smiled and said, "As far as I know, the direct troops of Lord Nanuk Khan, plus the escort troops on the right flank of Bahrain, have a total of 10,000 elite cavalry. And the lord of Bahrain's left flank, Ang Antaiji, also had 6,000 elite cavalry under his command. ”

"If you add our troops of Lord Balang Khan, there is still hope for a head-on fight against Nurhachi. As long as we have the determination to break through the cauldron and sink the ship, we can concentrate more than 30,000 main forces. ”

"You must know that Nurhachi has another biggest opponent, that is, the 100,000 troops of the Ninghai Line of the Ming Dynasty, and Nurhachi needs at least half of the army to deal with it, so there is no need for us to panic. ”

"According to my estimates, although Nurhachi annexed the Yehnara tribe and forced the small Korean court to surrender. But Nurhachi's main forces did not increase, and the troops that could be put into the north-western direction to fight would definitely not exceed 30,000 people. ”

Nanuk Khan, who had not spoken, suddenly said: "Rest assured, I and the left-wing Aung Antaiji have decided to fight to the death and will never surrender to the Jurchen Nurhachi. ”

Wan Lian shook his head: "Things haven't developed to the point of being out of control, and now we in Balang Khan still need a while to reorganize our troops." The main force under the direct control of Lord Nanuk Khan was mainly to monitor Lin Dan Khan in the south. As long as Bahrain's left-wing Aung Antaiji and Dayataiji can establish effective communication at all times and be able to echo each other. ”

Xiong Chu pondered for a moment, and then asked Li Qing on the side: "What is the news you got?"

"Master, this is the case. Li Qing stood up and said, "The news we got is that Nurhachi wants to take the Zalut Department this year. But he had signed an alliance with the Zarut Ministry, and if he did it directly, he would lose his trust in the world. ”

"For this reason, Nurhachi made a decision: he ordered Yorei and Ishham of the outpost camp to come to the Zarut Division, ostensibly to communicate the relationship between the two families, but in fact to spy on Lord Dayataiji and Master Sebentaiji. However, this is not true, it is just the news that Nurhachi deliberately released to confuse others. ”

"Nurhachi's real purpose is to send people to disguise themselves as Zarut tribesmen, rob Youlei and Ishham on the way, and then frame them for Zarut troops, so that there is an excuse to send troops. Brother Zhou asked me to return immediately, just to explain to the master Nurhachi's conspiracy to plant blame and create excuses. ”
