Chapter 545: Ambition
Above the wild, the cavalrymen were scattered together. The clanging sound was connected with the sad roar of horses. No one could escape, each of them was only two kilograms. Choice, killing or being killed until the sunset, and both sides were exhausted. The victory and defeat were gradually determined. Countless corpses were piled up on this grassland, and the murderous intentions of the Junggars became stronger. The cavalry of Mongolian troops in the southern desert was obviously no longer interested in fighting again. The disappointed Ezhehan was a group of cavalry regiments stained with blood.
The regiment protected him and finally sighed, turned his horse's head and led the remaining soldiers to flee to the east. How could the Junggars let him escape easily? They started chasing, but soon, they stopped the horse and began to stop the camp. After all, after fighting for a whole day, most of them were exhausted. Although the Junggars won the victory, they also received the largest casualties since they advanced east. Fifty thousand people were buried there since then, and countless injured people were injured. No one had the intention to start chasing.
Thousands of bloody cavalry in Mozhe Han fled hundreds of miles overnight, and then they stopped their horses to rest. The defeated clouds enveloped these survivors. Many people couldn't be energetic, and they didn't even have time to bury the tent, so they fell asleep. When they woke up, Ezhe Han was surrounded by the leaders of several tribes. After the defeat, the Mongolian army in Mozhe Han was almost wiped out and they were unable to fight again. What we need to discuss now is how to protect their tribe from being cleansed by the Junggar.
Some people proposed to transfer Mo Nan and surrender to the Junggar Killing Dan, some people proposed to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and use the power of the Ming Dynasty to expel these Junggar robbers. The two sides argued endlessly. Because Ezhekhan was defeated, they could no longer subdue these Mongolian princes. After all, the Mongols praised the strong, and Ezhekhan led them to defeat the battle, so naturally they had less respect for him. Everyone proposed them, but no one asked Ezhekhan about his meaning.
"No matter what, the Yugeer people are, they are also us Mongolians. This is the internal affairs of our Mongolians. How can we let the Han people intervene?"
"The Han people at least don't want Shui Zhuo and don't herd cattle and sheep. In any case, they will not occupy our pastures. The country bumpkins like Junggar came from Western Xinjiang. Can they let them return to Western Xinjiang by surrendering to him?"
"The Mongols have never surrendered to the Han people. They would rather surrender to Galdan than let the Han people look down on them.
"After the Han people, there is a bowl of soup, the Junggars occupied the grasslands in the south of the desert. Will all of us die?"
After arguing, Ezhehan sat cross-legged and silently. He naturally knew the rules on the grassland and knew that his reputation had fallen to the bottom of the valley. Therefore, he did not make a conclusion. The Mongolian princes and princes were fighting verbally. Until they almost wanted to use the knife, Ezhehan suddenly stood up and pressed the hilt of the knife. Several guards in the tent immediately drew their swords to surround them. The princes and princes of more than a dozen tribes were pale in their faces. They also drew their swords one after another. Ezhehan snorted coldly and put their swords back into the sheath, and looked at the princes with disdain: "If you continue to argue like this, the Junggar people are coming. At this time, there are still bastards discussing subjugation of Galdan. Galdan brought his cavalry to the south of the Momen to avenge the previous shame and snatch our cattle, sheep, grassland, and women. Can you turn lambs and make hungry wolf put away their fangs?"
After all, Ezhehan's words were still a bit important. Some princes who supported the surrender of Galdan could not help but feel guilty. There were many Mongolian tribes. The Junggar tribe belonged to the slave tribe under the Jin tent during the Temujin period, and was then expelled to the Western Xinjiang. Now, the eastward advancement is naturally to seize the grasslands in the southern desert. As for the Mongolian tribes in the southern desert, even if they surrender, they would be killed. Even if Junggardan was in a good mood, he would probably have to move his butts and change his position to the western Xinjiang to bask in the sun.
"I have decided that all the tribes will move to the vicinity of Liaodong, contact the Han people, and seek support from the Han people." Ezhekhan is not an idiot. The entire Mongolian in southern desert can subdue Galdan, but the Chahar tribe, as a golden tribe, cannot. The Chahar tribe has always enjoyed great appeal among the Mongolian tribes. Will Galdan let him go? But the Han people are different. Although the Han people are enemies of the Mongolians, the Mongolians live in the grasslands for generations. Even if the Han people conquered the Mongolians, they will not directly intervene in Jingli. At most, they will only send troops. He Ezhekhan is still Ezhekhan. The Chahar people can still put horses on the grasslands in the south desert, just like many aliens have captured the pass, most of them will return to the grasslands after looting, because they do not know how to farm, and they do not know how to manage them.

Shengjing, Liaodong Legion Governor's Office.
Wang Zhijin, the governor of the Liaodong Legion, was chatting with several nobles from the Wulilen tribe. After Wang Zhijin was ordered to form the Liaodong Legion, he immediately invited these Wulilen people near the Daxinganling Mountains to Shengjing. The organization of the Liaodong Legion was different from that of the Guannei Legion. The ordinary legion was three fire camps, one mountain camp, one suicide camp, and one artillery camp. The Liaodong Legion had abolished the mountain camps. After all, it was a clear wilderness here. The mountain camps had no place to use their skills at all. The abolished mountain camps were changed to the Huodi Camp. In addition to the configuration of 30,000 people in the sixth battalion, two additional cavalry battalions were added, totaling 40,000 people.
Nearly a thousand slaughterers were invited to work as Shengjing. Everyone was specially arranged for houses to live in thugs for them. Some Wulilen people served as riding and hunting instructors, and were responsible for practicing cavalry step by step, but these people could only practice, but they did not have the right to lead troops.
Wang Zhijin gave preferential treatment to these Wulilen people, especially these nobles, who always asked them to go to the Governor's Office to study the tactics of riding. After all, Wang Zhijin still has theoretical knowledge, but what they lack is experience. It is urgent to discuss and discuss with these people, and record some tactics of cavalry. In the eyes of many people, Wang Zhijin mentioned the Governor from a thousand households to the Governor, and in the eyes of many people, Wang Zhijin worked harder. On the one hand, he managed military affairs and studied cavalry all day long. If he had any experience, he would immediately write down.
Wu Liling's name is Maiches, and his name is very confusing. This person has seen some worldly appearances. When he was young, he was sent to Manchus as a hostage by his father. He even went to the pass and even spoke some Chinese. Due to Wang Zhijin's deliberate appeal, and the people in the mountains in the depths have a more or less pure and simple temperament, Maiches is now Wang Zhijin's confidant. In fact, there is another reason that Maiches has some good impression of the Han people. When Manchus was still there, he had a very heavy record of Wu Liling. The Wu Liling tribe had blood feuds for everyone. Now that the Han people have defeated Manchus, it is precisely the thoughts of the Wu Liling people. Before they even came into contact, they became close. When they heard that they were going to move them to Shengjing City to help practice cavalry and provide a rich enough life, many Wu Liling people were led out of the mountains by Maiches.
His wife Zhijin had a good chat with Maiches. At this time, a guard outside the yamen hurried in: "Sir, the border guards are urgently reported."
Wang Zhijin felt a little sad. There was only one location in the border defense in Liaodong, which was close to the west of the Mongolian grassland. There, the Ming Dynasty built hundreds of earthen castles, and several soldiers were stationed in the earthen castles. Once a large group of Mongolians appeared, the police were immediately heard. Now that an emergency report from the border defense came, it must be that the Mongolians had a large-scale operation.
After all, he was the governor of the Internet and he still lacked some cultivation skills. He stood up and said, "Come on."
The guard walked to the case with a hurry and passed the emergency report to Wang Zhijin. Wang Zhijin hurriedly opened it and finally felt relieved. However, his eyebrows couldn't help but twisted into a rope. The Mongolian tribes in the south of the Moon went to Liaodong to take refuge. Behind them, there were 100,000 Iron Cavalry of the Junggars coming. After the Mongolian refugees in the south of the Moon entered the Liaodong border, the Junggar did not dare to act rashly, but they were obviously hostile to the Ming Dynasty and had been wandering outside the border. It is said that envoys had been sent to hand over the Ming Dynasty to hand over the Ezhekhan and the leaders of the various tribes.
"The order is sent to the whole army to prepare for combat. The two battalions of cavalry gathered under the city and prepared to advance westward. Also, we will immediately inform the declaration inside the customs and the North Korean side, and request the Peking Army and the Beiyang Fleet to be prepared at any time and rush to outside the customs." Wang Zhijin hurriedly put on his military cap."
Mulijiwei, as early as the Yongle period, the Ming Dynasty established a garrison here. It was located on the border between Liaodong and Mongolian grasslands. Although the garrison has been withdrawn, the Ming army has set up many earthen forts here to serve as a warning. Now, Mongolian women and children all over the mountains have stayed here to build yurts. Many Mongolian women looked west with concern. There were still Mongolians who arrived here one after another, but more people had no time to escape. They were probably dead under the butcher knives of the Junggars. The Ming army squad stationed in the local area also began to ride horses to spy on the west.
Ezhehan was still a little nervous. Although he had entered Liaodong here, it did not mean that the Junggars would not chase him. He planned to take the women and children of these tribes to rest for a night, and then continue to travel east early the next morning. Only Shengjing is the safest.
As expected, the Mongols in Monan who fled one after another became increasingly dense and their pace became faster and faster. They brought news that the Junggars camped forty miles west of Mulijiwei. Logically, they had crossed the territory of Liaodong, but Ezhekhan was not a lunatic after all, and had not yet come here to massacre these Mongols in Monan. They just bit Ezhekhan tightly and did not make any attacks.
What should I do? Ezhehan walked out of the tent, and many Mongolians came over to salute him with nervous expressions. There were Chahars, Sunits, Abagas, Haoqits, and Zaruts. Almost all Mongolians in the south of the desert began to migrate. They were originally ethnic groups on horseback. Under the command, they heard that behind them were brutal Junggar soldiers who cleaned up their homes overnight and fled eastward. If they had no time to escape, there would be only one way to die. Ezhehan is now gambling, betting that the Junggars still have a little fear of the Ming Dynasty and dare not cross the border to kill people, otherwise more than 100,000 Mongols who followed them in the southern tribes would die under the butcher knife.
In a hurry, the hundreds of Ming soldiers stationed here came back on horseback with dozens of companions. After hearing the notice, Ezhehan immediately went to greet them. The hundreds of households went to negotiate with the Junggars in the name of the Ming Dynasty. Ezhehan urgently needed to know the attitude of the Junggars.
The hundred-husbands looked calm and moved towards Ezhehan. Ezhehan asked in a hurry: "Sir, what news is there in the Junggar people."
Baihu said: "I'm afraid something is wrong. You can't stay here. Don't rest tonight. Let's continue to flee east. When I met Junggardan, Junggardan reiterated his unwillingness to offend me, the Ming Dynasty, but he also said that this was an internal affairs of the Mongols. If the Han people immediately withdraw from this area, I'm afraid they will attack before the evening."
Ezhehan was shocked and left now? If Junggardan was determined to slaughter them all, how could he go fast, the elderly, weak, women and children, who were old, weak, and women and children, probably they would be killed by the Junggars before they arrived in Shengjing. He gritted his teeth: "I have ten thousand people to fight here, so stay here to cut off the rear, let the others retreat. Is there no news about Liaodong yet?"
Baihu said: "Even if it is as fast as possible, you have to wait for two days."
Ezhehan nodded his troops and turned around to discuss with the leaders of all alliances. The final result was to let the women and children continue to advance eastward, while ten thousand strong warriors stayed to meet the enemy, and at least they could buy some time.
”
Galdan kicked open the stove in the big tent. The lamas next to him were all silent and did not dare to speak. A scout kneeling under the tent trembled. Everyone knew that this Han Dan's temper was getting stronger and stronger, especially after conquering the entire Mongolian in Monan, he was full of killing. One of them was not good, and he might lose his head. Galdan sat back on the sweat seat and swept the tent. What he got most angry was the Ming's attitude. Logically speaking, the Ming Dynasty was the first to form an alliance with the Junggar tribe. If it weren't for him, Galdan, burying the entire Mongolian, could the Ming army recover the inner city so quickly? But now, the Ming Dynasty was obviously leaning against the Ezhe and let Ezhe enter the border. Another scattered household came. He even said arrogantly that the Junggar tribe did not enter Liaodong to avoid friction.
"Hmph." Galdan snorted sinisterly, what a bullshit Ming Dynasty, these Han people dared to provoke the great Galdan. No, Galdan looked at the lama beside him. Not long after, the ** Lama would entrust him to protect his rule on the Mongolian grasslands. Moreover, Tibet also agreed to assist 7,000 monk soldiers to join Galdan. The original Tibetans did not dare to support Galdan openly, but now Galdan's momentum outside the pass was at its peak, and immediately stood on the same line with Galdan without hesitation. Galdan harassed the handle of the sweat seat and cursed: "As sooner or later, those Han dogs will be good-looking. Wolves will always be wolves, and those docile Han dogs will always be worthy of hungry wolf to fill their hunger wolf.
"A strong Junggar general in Khandan stood up and gave a chest salute to Galdan: "Hangou was arrogant and wanted to reconcile it. Why would he let me lead a team of warriors as a striker and set off immediately and fight for Mulijiwei
The muscles on Junggardan's face twitched a few times, then shook his head: "Don't be reckless, it's not the time to turn against the Han people."
The general retreated awkwardly. He couldn't understand Junggardan's thoughts. He wanted to kill directly to Liaodong, but he was unwilling to turn against the Han people.
Junggardan sat gloomy on the khan seat and was silent, and said to a lama on the left: "Was the envoy sent by the Tsar last time still in the camp? Ask him to come in."
"The Khandan Lama is still the confidant of Galdan. He is not only the confidant of Galdan and the right-hand man of Galdan. At this time, when Junggardan asked about the envoy of the Tsar, he couldn't help but frown: "The Master and I both think it's better not to contact the Tsar for the time being. The Han people are now very popular. Once they fight, they may not be able to gain any advantage. What's more, the Tsar heard that he was fighting with others in the west and could not care about this at all. At most, he was just making some short promises.
Junggardan sighed and gave up his thoughts. In fact, in the past year, Russia had sent envoys to try to contact Junggardan. At the beginning, the Manchus had not been destroyed, and the Junggar tribe did not unify the grasslands. It was still an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, he ignored these Russians. However, as the situation changed, coupled with the Han people's attitude towards Ezhe Khan, Junggardan couldn't help but feel angry, and he wished to be able to immediately reconcile with the Tsar and break up with the Han people. However, Tashi Dorji's suggestion was also very reasonable. After all, Russia could not give him substantial help. He occupied the grasslands in the south of the desert, and some Mongolian tribes in the north of the desert had not yet surrendered, and the status of the Great Mongolian was not yet stable. At this time, he turned against the Han people, which was indeed a bit too radical. He adjusted his mentality and turned to Tashi Dorji: "What should we do according to the master's wishes?"
Tashi Doji closed his eyes and said softly: "The best way is to go back, go back to Monan, conquer Mobei, and appease the tribes that have not escaped with Ezhe, slowly lick the paper wounds, and wait until the time comes, then reveal their fangs and fight the Han people to a decisive battle."
