Chapter 123: Tumt Khan(1/2)

"How could the great Dayan Khan, the great Altan Khan, the descendant of Genghis Khan, the descendant of the Golden Family, the real master of the Tumot tribe have an eagle with a broken wing, and can only crawl on the ground!"

A whine sounded like a wolf howl suddenly in a huge Mongolian tent with golden glyphs. Then, a loud "bang" sound came from the tent.

"Eh (mother), Eh Qige (father) smashed the wine glass again." On a small felt outside the tent, the sixteen-year-old Ingma hugged his mother Qilege's neck tightly, and crystal tears flowed from her face.

The eyes of Fujin Qilege also flashed with tears. She hugged Ingma tightly and whispered: "Ingma, our Tumoth tribe has suffered consecutive blows and setbacks. The Khan felt uncomfortable, so let him vent his vent alone."

While the two were murmuring, the door of the yurt was suddenly lifted open. A short and strong Mongolian man wearing a greasy stand-up Mongolian robe with a blue scalp and only had a circle of braids behind his forehead to his ears staggered out of the door.

He held a wine glass in one hand, pointed straight into the void with the other hand, and cursed loudly: "Winbchuhuer, Shanba, you two lackeys of the Jurchens, and you two lowly slaves who betrayed your master, Ben Khan swore that he would add the cruelest curse and the most terrible disaster of swords and weapons to you, and to prevent you from dying well, and to never turn over in hell!"

The person who cursed with finger void is the last Tumot Khan and Dapur.

The two people he cursed, Wimbledhul and Shanba, were two of his highly trusted Jinnongs, who were tempted by the Jurchen Tatar Captain Huang Taiji, rebelled one by one. In 1629, he moved from the unloving Mantao to the territory that intersected with the Kalaqin tribe outside the border of Jinzhou, Liaodong. This is the origin of Dongtumot.

The Tumot people who remained in Fengzhoutan outside Xuan Town and Datong Town and were still loyal to Tumot Khan Dapur himself were called Xitumot.

Tumot Khan Dapur vowed to take revenge, and became increasingly loyal to the Mongolian Communist Party leader Lin Dankhan, intending to use Lin Dankhan's power to regain the lost population and tribes, and to cut these two hateful traitors into meat sauce.

Unexpectedly, Dapur's ambitious plan of revenge was shattered quite thoroughly in the cruel reality.

Just two months ago, Lin Danhan, the leader of the Han tribe and the nominal Mongolian Communist Party, died of illness in Dacaotan, Qinghai under the continuous attacks of the Later Jin Dynasty. The Han tribe collapsed. Xitumot, as a loyal ally of the Han tribe, was naturally brutally attacked by Huang Taiji.

The original residence city of Tumot Khan, located in Daqingshan, was burned out by the Later Jin army, and the tribe was plundered, disintegrated and massacred. When Tumot Khan Dapur had no choice but to surrender to the Jurchens, all his subordinates were left with only 3,300 people!

You should know that when the Tumote tribe was at its peak, the population reached 540,000. Now there are only 3,300 people left, most of which are old and weak. The entire tribe is on the verge of extinction.

Wimbledon Hur and Shanba suggested to Huang Taiji that Tumot Khandapur would be killed and all the remaining Xitumot tribes were divided by them, so that the Tumot tribe would be completely surrendered.

However, Huang Taiji rejected their suggestions.

The reason is very simple. The current Western Tumote tribe is like a candle in the wind and has no power to resist itself. It is better to retain Tumote Khan to show his broad mind. By letting go of Tumote tribes, he showed his tolerance to the outer Khalkha Mongol tribes that he had never surrendered, so as to encourage the outer Mongolian tribes to submit to the Dajin as soon as possible.

This last Tumot Khan was lucky enough to survive because of Huang Taiji's idea.

After being hit by a series of blows, the poor Tumot Khandapur could no longer think of any way to cheer up his tribe except by drinking to drown his sorrows.

If we follow the normal history, the last Tumot Khan Dapur would have died in the late Shunzhi period. Because of the lack of children, the Tumot Khan throne was abolished, the Dongtumot was incorporated into the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the Xitumot was eventually adapted into the left and right banners. Such an organization has been preserved to this day.

"Uh Qi Ge, stop drinking, my daughter beg you!" My daughter Ingma rushed forward, trying to grab the wine glass from her father.

A thick right hand was pushed over, and Ingma was pushed hard on the grass.

"What else can I do without drinking? My Tumote tribe is deserted and poor, so what future can I have! Instead of waiting for death, it is better to die of drunkenness!"

Dapur snorted coldly, poured the remaining wine in his mouth and drank it all. His brown and yellow pupils were filled with pain and confusion.

The concubine Qilege helped Ingma up on the ground, and the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried bitterly.

At this time, a rapid sound of horse hooves came, and a cavalry arrived quickly.

"Reported to the Great Khan, the people of Taiji Bagen discovered that there seemed to be many craftsmen working on construction and digging fortress in the Ming Dynasty. Lord Bagen asked for instructions that the Ming people were building a large scale of construction here, and there must be a large amount of gold and silver. Do you want to vote?"

Hearing the cavalry's report, Dapur's standard Mongolian squinted eyes suddenly flashed with a fierce and wolve-like gaze.

"Bang!"

Another loud bang, the wine glass in Dapur's hand was smashed to pieces again.

"Of course we have to do it. Our army is so poor and can't we let go of such a chance to get rich easily! While the Ming people are not ready, all the men and women of our army will go and grab him a vote!" Dabuel said gritting his teeth and fiercely.

"Uh, please don't send troops!" Ingma screamed in surprise and said to Dapur quickly: "Father Khan, our troops have just suffered heavy losses in the battle with the Jin Dynasty, and their vitality has not yet recovered. If you want to fight the Ming people immediately, if you lose your soldiers and generals again, our tribe may be worried about destruction!"

"What do you know!" Dabul roared: "The Ming people are different from the Jin Dynasty. Except for the servant guards who are still fighting, the rest of the soldiers and people are all a group of tame sheep and are not the opponents of my Mongolian cavalry at all! If the Ming people build the castle, then our troops will have no chance to do it."

"Uh Qi Ge, you have to be cautious. If our tribe is defeated by the Ming people again and loses Ding Zhuang, there will be no hope of turning over." Ingma's voice was crying.

"Don't say more! Ben Khan has made up his mind to take action with the Ming people today, plunder their wealth and capture their women! Use the blood and gold and silver of the Ming people to pave the way for the re-development and growth of our Tumot tribe!" Dabul's face flashed with a trace of hideous expression and said gritting his teeth.

......

When Dapur mobilized the last 600 elite cavalry from the headquarters to the east, heading to the junction of Border Mountain and Tangquan River, Li Xiao's Jintang City was in full swing.

After the meeting of Li Xiao building Jintang City was completed, just five days later, Li Xiao recruited a large number of craftsmen from the surrounding state forts. After marking the boundaries of the powder and ash, he immediately began digging the soil and construction.

At the meeting five days ago, Li Xiao had determined the personnel arrangements for Jintang City in the future.

Li Xiao decided to promote Duan Shiqi, the former deputy chief of General A, to General C, and stationed in Jintang City for a long time. Like General A, Tian Wei and General B, Wang Yishou, he became a general who guarded one side.

Li Xiao chose Duan Shiqi, one because he valued his loyalty all the time, and the other because this young general understood Mongolian language, which could facilitate communication with the Mongolians in the future. After all, when he was Buguidun that day, Duan Shiqi went to Kalaqin's tribe on the border of Jinzhou to successfully buy a horse, which left a deep impression on him.

Li Xiao also expanded the army in each total. He stipulated that each total fixed soldiers were: 5 teams of shield soldiers, 10 teams of spearmen, 60 black tiger heavy cavalry, and 60 flying kites. The number of soldiers per total soldier was 1,650.

The rampant team and the firearms unit have fewer people with superb martial arts and insufficient number of firearms, so they follow General A for the time being, and the other two generals are not equipped for the time being.

Li Xiao decided to draw out one team of shield soldiers, two teams of spearmen, 20 Xuanhu heavy cavalry and 20 flying kites from the now refilled General A, as the basic force of General C.

Xu Xiu, a member of the Supervisory and Governor's Department, was promoted to the director of the General Secretary C for his outstanding performance in the rampant team, and assisted Duan Shishishi in carrying out his work.

Now, the branch of the Security Department has also been established, and the personnel are selected by Li Xiao and Huang Bao, director of the Security Department. The specific personnel are not something outsiders can know.

Chen Mazi's clinic and Zhang Tongzhu's blacksmith shop also retained several capable personnel to build a local clinic and blacksmith shop in Jintang City.

The rest of the General A and the Horse and other auxiliary personnel were ready to return to Shandong with Li Xiao.

In Jintang City, like Chifeng Fort, in addition to the Security Department of the Supervisory and Supervision Department, it is also necessary to establish a business branch, an industrial branch, a civil affairs branch, a money and grain branch, an education branch and other institutions after the city is built. Li Xiao plans to select a group of personnel after returning to Shandong to carry out specific work.

Then, Li Xiao made a major decision that everyone could not imagine.

That is, he asked An Qian to serve as the governor of Jintang City and became the general manager of Jintang City's daily operations. Except for the army and related institutions, he was responsible for other administrative departments.

Li Xiao valued the advantage of An Qian's serious and subtle work. Such people are not enterprising enough, but they have more than success. Now the Jintang City plan has been decided, so it is most appropriate to use people like An Qian to be responsible and actually arrange their work.

An Qian was even more grateful for Li Xiao's kindness of knowing her, and secretly vowed to do his best to do his job well in order to be worthy of Li Xiao's promotion and favor.

Of course, An Qian also knew that although Li Xiao trusted him so much, there was still some relevant supervision. He would not be stupid enough to think that the Safety Department was just a decoration.

These days, when Li Xiao's men went to the surrounding castles to recruit craftsmen, they also attracted a large number of refugees. The total number of refugees everywhere was nearly 10,000. Because after the military disaster of the Tartar invasion, the number of elderly and weak was very small, and most of them were strong adult men and women. This was a very timely supplement to Li Xiaojun, who was now in a shortage of labor and soldiers.

Li Xiao organized all these refugees into military households in the fort to become members of Li Xiao's army.

Except for selecting more than a thousand people, starting training for recruits, preparing to supplement General C, these people, Li Xiao, asked them to build the city walls like the people in the fort, like the people in the fort.

Looking at the craftsmen and the people in the fort, under the command of Wei Zhenfu An Qian and others, Li Xiao was very happy.

According to An Qian's estimate, with sufficient manpower, the outer wall of Jintang City without bricks can be built in two months.

Li Xiao was still satisfied with this progress. It was a very good result to be able to successfully complete the city wall before the land was frozen and hard to dig.

Just that afternoon, Fei Jiazi, who had sent a distance to the Border Mountain to detect the outskirts, sent a shocking news to Li Xiao.

"Mr. Li, we found that a team of Mongolian Tartar cavalry with about 600 people was coming to the intersection between the border mountain and the Tangquan River. It is very likely that they were coming to plunder our Jinjiazhuang Fort!"

After hearing this, a cold expression slipped across Li Xiao's face.

He who had read the Ming Dynasty in his previous life knew that the Tumote tribe is now divided and has weak power. He originally thought that they would stay peacefully in the area of ​​Prince City and Fengzhoutan in the west, but he did not expect that these people would dare to make up for him now.

Humph, it’s so cool!

The elite Later Jin Tartars who had established a system were even crippled by our army. If you only have 600 Mongolian Tartars, I will not be named Li if I don’t beat you up! Li Xiao said ruthlessly in his heart.

"Transfer our military orders. The entire army will be dispatched quickly! Set up a formation to fight these ignorant Mongolian Tartars!" Li Xiao ordered coldly.

Half an hour later, Li Xiaojun set up a formation at the junction of Border Mountain and Tangquan River.

At this time, 600 Mongolian Tartars who had been raiding for a long distance had just arrived.

On the slopes of the Border Mountain with sparse rocks and vegetation, next to a large abrupt stone, a thousand-mile mirror made of fine copper is paying close attention to them.

Soon, the mirror was put down, revealing the handsome and honest face of the commander Li Xiao.

Li Xiao saw that these Tartars were running very fast, but the equipment on these Mongolian cavalry was extremely shabby, with less than a hundred men in armor, and the rest of the cavalry were dressed in herders.

Amid the rumbling horse hooves, these people roared with a terrifying and longing for each of them.

Li Xiao sneered in his heart. Perhaps, in the eyes of these Mongolian Tartars, as long as they cross the junction of this border mountain and Tangquan River and reach the territory of Ming Dynasty, there will be countless gold and silver and women waiting for them to plunder.

However, no matter how cunning the evil wolf is, it cannot escape the clever hunter.

Now, I will break your greedy fangs in this desolate border area.

When the Mongols screamed and rushed to the slope of the border mountain before they rushed to the ground, 50 Lumi guns fired at the same time.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

Among the thick and choking white smoke, nearly forty small lead bullets weighing three cents were roaring and shooting towards the Mongols on the horse's back.

More than 20 Mongolian Tartars immediately screamed and fell off their backs, and then they were trampled into meat paste by the horses rushing up from behind.

The Mongolian cavalry team immediately became confused, and the speed of moving forward was stagnant.

The sharp-eyed Mongolian cavalry immediately saw that at a moment of chaos, a straight black military battle formation suddenly appeared in front of them, blocking all the distance from the border mountain to the Tangquan River.

The spikes on the large shields that were scattered straight were lined up, and rows of steel spears stretching out at the same distance were placed on the large shields. In the afternoon sun, they were shining with a breathtaking golden light.

"careful!"

Dapur shouted in dismay.

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten cavalry rushing in front of him, and could not hold back the horse's hooves. He either hit the spear of the shield or was immediately killed by the rows of spearmen.

"Retreat quickly, we are ambushed!"

Seeing that dozens of cavalrymen died instantly, Dapur, with a pale face, hissed loudly.
To be continued...
