Chapter Five Hundred and Forty Six: The Junggar Khanate

Gu Zhehan breathed a sigh of relief, although Junggardan was extremely hard and had a little rationality, he at least did not really do anything crazy. To be honest, Junggardan was already a crazy image in Ezhehan's heart. It would not be surprising if Junggardan entered the Liaodong border without hesitation, ignored the authority of the Han people, and killed Ezhehan and the Mongols who fled Monan who were completely killed.

However, the blessing of immortality, Junggardan was not a lunatic after all, and this was Ezhe's luck. The Mongols began to divide into two groups, one group of women and children heading east to Liaodong, and another ten thousand strong men guarding Mulijiwei, and did not dare to neglect them at all. The Junggars, dozens of miles away, neither retreated nor continued to move forward, and they still could not rule out the possibility of their attack.

Mulijiwei has now become the focus of struggle outside the pass, like a gunpowder barrel, which may be ignited and exploded at any time. There are obviously some rumors in Liaodong. More than 100,000 Mongolian cavalry are displayed on the border of Liaodong. If anyone is, they will probably be extremely nervous. The population of Liaodong is not large. Since the Manchus regard Liaodong as their ancestral land, no Han people are allowed to enter. The Manchus are all incorporated into the Tungus tribe and started laying the railway tracks from the pass. Now, in addition to a small number of Han people who "break through Guandong, the population is sparse, but the Han people in the relevant area have moved in one after another. After all, there are many places here and few people. Although it is not prosperous in the pass, after all, a piece of land with great opportunities. And as long as you are willing to cultivate, the land you cultivate can belong to. However, the wind has spread, and some Han people who broke through Guandong have reached a slight danger. They all retreated.

A few days later, Wang Zhijin came roaring with 10,000 newly formed cavalry. Behind the cavalry, 30,000 Liaodong Legion infantry also traveled here day and night. This time, the Ming army mainly appeared as a mediator. Otherwise, it would be a bit far-fetched to fight with more than 100,000 Mongolian cavalry with the newly formed Liaodong Legion. But Wang Zhijin was quite confident, and behind him was the Ming Dynasty. The Beiping Legion in the Pass could reach it within five days, and the Beiyang Navy Marine Corps of North Korea

After seven days, the Huidong Legion stationed in Xi'an can attack from Datong and attack the rear of the Junggars. If the Junggars dare to take action, Wang Zhijin expects a failure in the early stage, but then, the continuous Guannei Legion may be able to sweep the entire desert south, and there is no problem to drive the Junggars back to Western Xinjiang. In addition, Junggardan also had to deal with revenge from the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Wang Zhijin's estimated that Ezhe Khan dared not take action yet.

At this time, the envoys of the Junggar people also came. Unlike usual humbleness, they won the victory one after another, and the power of the Junggar people in the south of the desert had expanded from the western border to the south of the desert. There were hundreds of dependent tribes. The envoys had relied on and naturally became domineering. Especially after entering Wang Zhijin's tent, they saw Ezhehan, snorted coldly, stepped in and bowed to Wang Zhi, expressing their surrender, but their expression was arrogant: "Governor, this Ezhe is a sinner of my Mongolian. Galdan has given a reward of 10,000 taels of silver to take his head. Please give Ezhe to us Khandan, and there will be a good reward."

Ezhe has lost his power and is under someone else's roof. He looked at Wang Zhijin with some fear, for fear that he would give him to Junggardan. Wang Zhijin smiled contemptuously and said, "The Ming Dynasty has a vast land and a wealth of things, and ten thousand taels of silver. Hehe, I'm afraid even a small businessman can afford it. Your subordinate is too shabby. You want Ezhehan's head only to pay 10,000 taels of silver. It's a joke."

Wang Zhijin said sarcastically, but he wanted to suppress the Galdan people's arrogance. Seeing the messenger's face changing drastically, he laughed even more and continued to whisper: "The Chahars are my ally of the Ming Dynasty. Junggar also had an alliance with me. I, the Ming Dynasty, and I, will not help each other. But since Ezhe Khan defected to my Liaodong, as an ally, my Ming Dynasty will naturally have the responsibility to protect me. If one day, your Galdan fled to my Liaodong to take refuge, I, the Ming Dynasty, will be treated equally and protected."

This sentence made the Junggar's envoy very embarrassed. What will Galdan escape to Liaodong one day and will the invincible Galdan be defeated and demand protection from the Han people? It's a joke. The great Galdan is the lord of the grassland and the master outside the pass. The envoy complained in his heart and then said: "We Khan Dan are very willing to continue to maintain a friendly alliance with the Ming Dynasty. I just hope you can understand that Ezhe Khan is the enemy of my Khan Dan. If the adults are unwilling to hand over Ezhe, they will inevitably have flaws in the relationship between Khan Dan and the Ming Dynasty. I hope that the adults will put the overall situation first. Don't destroy friendship because of the big family."

Wang Zhijin snorted coldly: "Are you threatening this governor?"

The messenger also carried it on. After all, the situation is different now. Ezhehan has more than 100,000 cavalry and has become the master of the entire grassland. How can he show weakness to the Han people?

Lan Erdan inherited the throne of Mongolian Khan sooner or later, and what he wanted was only friendship with the Ming Dynasty for generations, but the Ming Dynasty accommodated Khandan's enemies. Is this a friendly act? Did the Ming Dynasty really think that I, the Junggar, is more than 100,000 cavalry, is it easy to bully?"

This sentence was full of smoke, and it almost broke up. If the envoy said this in the Central Plains Dynasty, it was obviously a metaphor for the meaning of starting a war. However, Wang Zhijin understood that this Junggar envoy probably wanted to intimidate. When it comes to starting a war, Junggar really didn't have the courage to go to war. Beizhenfushi had studied Galdan's character, and this person's Ambition was wrong. But after all, he was still a smart person who could stretch and bend. For this, Dangerdan said that taking advantage of the victory to win Mobei and managing Monan was the right way. It was simply seeking death without the human heart.

Wang Zhijin knocked on the table in front of him, looking impatient: "Do you mean Galdan's 100,000 Iron Cavalry in the world are invincible and want to start a war with our Ming Dynasty? Hehe, okay, my Ming Dynasty just annihilated hundreds of thousands of Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, and at this time I was worried that I would not find an opponent. If your troops were willing to give it a try, you can come here."

The Junggar envoy was choked to death. Galdan was quite afraid of the Ming Dynasty. More than 200,000 Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners were destroyed. In addition, it is said that there were several Wan Han troops composed of Manchus. With more than 100,000 people in the Junggar people, they really couldn't get rid of it. Junggar's mind was to first stabilize the south of the Moon and appease the tribes that had not escaped with Ezhe, and then recruit the warriors from each tribe.

Formulate more cavalry and fight with the Ming Dynasty in the future. He never thought about it. However, he was determined to win this fertile Liaodong. His strategy can only be temporarily endured. The messenger just spoke rudely, but he only asked about the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to bring Ezhe back. For Junggardan, Ezhe is indeed a great hidden danger. He is the direct descendant of the Golden Family. The Mongolians have always respected the Khan's Golden Treasure. Therefore, even if Ezhe was defeated, he would have great appeal among the Mongolians. If one day, with the help of the Han people, he would be another opponent, but now the Ming Dynasty has extremely strong attitude.

Dayou looked like he was trying hard for Ezhehan. After weighing the pros and consorts, the messenger remembered Khan Dan's instructions and finally surrendered.

He gave a chest tribute: "The Junggar people have already sworn with the Celestial Empire and are friendly for generations. It would be a joke to say that my Junggar cavalry is an enemy of the Ming Dynasty. We Khan Dan is the most trustworthy person. But the Ming Dynasty covers up Erzhe, and Khan Dan can't help but hope that the Ming Dynasty can give some explanations and let the subordinates take them back to report their lives.

Since the Ming Dynasty was unwilling to hand over the Ezhe, and the Junggars were unwilling to turn against the Ming Dynasty, the current Junggar envoys only hoped to get some benefits. No matter what, they had to make some money.

Wang Zhijin said: "Explanation? Tell the Junggardan that the Ming Dynasty's instructions were that as long as the Junggar cavalry did not step into Liaodong, they would never attack the Junggar people. You, go down."

Wang Zhijin has been in Liaodong for some time and has known all races outside the pass. To put it in the words of the ancients, it is called fearing power but not being virtuous. The more you are kind to him and make concessions to him, he will think you are easy to bully and keep getting more and more aggressive. When you speak ill of each other and act like a superior, they will obey and be very afraid of you. Of course, to be slandered, you must at least have your own strength. Now the Ming Dynasty has more than 200,000 new troops, 150,000 naval troops, and 50,000 cavalry. Most of these soldiers have experienced the baptism of war, and the number is three times that of Galdan. The equipment is even more sophisticated than that of Galdan. With these, Wang Zhijin naturally will not make any compromise.

The envoy of Galdan smiled embarrassedly, and became respectful to Wang Zhijin. He saluted and could only retreat carefully.

When the Galdan envoy left, Ezhehan had already given a chest tribute and half-kneeled down. He naturally understood that a betrayal dog like him had no value for use. Wang Zhijin had given him great favors to protect him. If he was not moved, he would be heartless. Ezhe was still a little conscientious: "My lord's grace to save his life, Ezhe remembers it in his heart."

Wang Zhijin rubbed his temples. Liaodong might not be peaceful. Although Galdan dared not make any hostile moves now, he would still break up one day. The Liaodong Legion's training will probably increase its efforts.

Half a month later, news came from Mongolia that the Tibetan Lama arrived in the south of the desert and issued a golden book, decreed Galdan to Danjin Boshuoketu Khan. Boshuo was originally one of the surnames of the Golden Family, and also metaphorized that Galdan was the orthodox of the Golden Family. Galdan began to establish the Junggar Khanate, and scattered various parts of the Junggar to the western Xinjiang, and began to take charge of the grasslands in the south of the desert, annexed more than 20 tribes in the south of the desert that had no time to escape, and began to prepare for the northern expedition to the north of the desert.

This action had already made Liaodong feel extremely pressured. When the oath was made, Galdan expressed his willingness to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. In theory, Galdan should be one of the vassal states of the Ming Dynasty. It should be the right of the Ming court to issue a golden book and entrust him as the Khan. However, Galdan accepted the title of the Lama and did not even tell the Ming Dynasty. The provocation can be imagined.

After the Ming Dynasty recovered the pass, the Tibetan Lamas did not respond. According to principles, they should send envoys to re-determine their vassal relationship. However, now, the Tibetans have self-evidently colluded with the Junggar people. The Lamas probably took advantage of the Junggar Dan's power to deal with the Ming side.

In addition, the Uyghurs, Kazakhs and Returning people in Western Xinjiang sent envoys to the south of the desert to celebrate Galdan Feng Khan and presented generous gifts, which also showed that they were willing to submit to the Junggars, and the Ming Dynasty, a central power, was kicked aside.

Provocation  **Naked Provocation   The Uyghurs, the Kazakhs, and the Kirke skilled men were fine to surrender to the Junggar. Their blow was forced to be the power of Junggardan, but the reaction of Tibet was to ignore the Ming Dynasty’s attitude.   For the Ming Dynasty, it was simply a naked provocation.

The report of the sealed war was quickly transmitted from outside the pass into the pass for 800 miles and quickly passed to Nanjing.

According to the surname Ju, if an ordinary memorial cannot be written into the war report, only the content of the war can be transmitted to the court in the situation of the war report. However, this time Wang Zhijin chose the method of the war report, which obviously means that this memorial is more urgent than the war report.

The southern desert, western Xinjiang, Tibet, and even Qinghai formed a Khanate, founded by nomadic peoples. This was something that had not happened since Emperor Yongle. Outside the pass, the Ming Dynasty has always been a major concern for the Ming Dynasty. Now the Manchus have just been wiped out. Another alien rise is definitely not a good thing for the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty strongly supports Ezhe Khan. The idea is very simple, hoping to use Ezhe to balance the Junggar people. Who knew that the Mongols in the south of the Moon were occupied by the Junggar people so unstoppable, and they were defeated and retreated to Liaodong. Now it is urgent to solve this great trouble. We must never raise a tiger anymore.

When this expedited battle report was passed to Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun couldn't help but be alert. He smiled bitterly. Wang Zhijin's opinion was to take advantage of the opportunity of the Junggar people's northern expedition to immediately mobilize the legions to attack him. He must not raise a tiger to be a disaster. However, Zhu Jun understood that Galdan was not ready to break up with the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was also not ready to go out of seclusion. The three major legions of Liaodong, Beiping and Judong were first established. The Royal Dragon Cavalry regiment training had just begun. It would probably take at least a year to have combat power. The major legions in the south were elite, but they were all infantrymen. More than 200,000 infantrymen ran to the grassland to play with others on horseback. I'm afraid they would drag them down.

All of you drag you to death. Over the past dynasties, the grassland aliens that were addicted to poverty when the Central Plains dynasty was strong in the army, could not be wiped out in one fell swoop. It is because of this reason. In terms of combat power, the Central Plains dynasty, which had a hundred times more people than the other dynasties, were repeatedly invaded by the aliens. It is precisely this reason that he came to attack you and could find you at any time, because you had cities, fields, and passes. For the Central Plains dynasty, if you attack him, hundreds of thousands or millions of troops entered the vast grassland, you might not even be able to find the shadow of the enemy. The supply line of thousands of miles has become the stone above the head of the Central Plains dynasty. It will not take long for you to come back after consuming a lot of manpower and material resources.

Therefore, Zhu Jun’s only way to deal with Galdan was to learn from Emperor Wu of Han, using cavalry to cavalry. The horses of foreign races were fast, and the horses of Han people were faster than them. The cavalry and shooting skills of foreign races were familiar with each other, and the Han people were more skilled than them. The foreign race came and went like the wind on the grassland, and the Han people were like ghosts on the grassland.

However, all this requires a powerful and well-equipped iron cavalry. In addition to the cavalry battalions organized by the Liaodong Legion, Lingdong Legion, and Peiping Legion, Zhu Jun focused on the Royal Dragon Cavalry Regiment. The Dragon Cavalry Regiment had only 30,000 backbones, but recently it has expanded 20,000 people, and each of the 50,000 people has two war horses. The war horses were naturally taken from the Eight Banners of Manchu and Mongolia. One horse carries the weight and the other rides, and two horses can be transferred during wartime. Each person is equipped with a narrow machete. The reason why the blade is narrow and long is to reduce the weight. After all, their main attack method is not the war sword, but the Fire System.

This fire system is different from the fire system in the hands of infantry. It is similar to the three-eyed fire dysfunction of the Ming army guarding in Liaodong a few years ago. However, after transformation, the technology of the short-term "Revolver" was integrated into the entry. The stewardship is longer than the short-term, which can increase the range, about the length of one forearm, while the other parts are similar to the short-term. You can hit six times in a row with one hand. After the strike, you can immediately hit the wheel at the back of the fire mirror by rotating the wheel at the back of the fire mirror. This fire dysfunction has been named as the cavalry mirror by the Ministry of Works. The cavalry rode on the horse, and one hand controlled the war horse, and the other hand held the mirror to shoot. After the six ammunition is shot, you will immediately pull out the long sword at your waist and throw it into close combat. If the enemy fled, it will be a weapon for pursuit.

According to the experiments of the Ministry of Works, this fire system is two to three times higher than the Mongols' bow and arrow range. Since it can be connected, it is more than five times that of the bow and arrow, and its lethality is obviously better. More importantly, the cavalry can only be completed with one hand during the shooting process, which naturally saves some effort.

"The order was issued, the Royal Dragoon Corps accelerated its training, and all the assessment content was increased. Three days later, the coalition had to go to the camp to inspect Zhu Jun and put down the battle report, and his brows were twisted into a ball. He had not much time left. Manchus might be the same as the Mongolians before entering the pass, but it was different after entering the pass. It was not only because of corruption, but because Manchus had given up nomadic and skilled in farming. They had at least had cities to guard. The Mongols came and went like the wind on the grassland, without any burden. It was easy to defeat them, but it was difficult to completely surrender.
