Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

As soon as spring came, Galdan's wounds grew like thawed pastures, and they were almost healed.

It was the best spring in his memory.The son was about to arrive home, Galdan was driven back to Mobei, and the three tribes of Khalkha finally returned to calm.He also wants to set a date for the marriage of his children with the emperor of the Qing Dynasty in Duolunuoer in May this year.The son is sixteen years old, and his brothers of the same age have all married or become fathers.Dobu was always alone, traveling all over the world, and Galdan had been worried about him for several years.

The white horse named 'Chasu' under his crotch was handed back to him by Sabusu in Ulan Butong.The old general came here with an army of [-] on a long journey. He didn't even fight a battle, but he was quite optimistic. He joked that he was lucky to have brought this horse, otherwise it would have been a waste of time.

Galdan selected about [-] good cavalrymen, dressed lightly, to Guihua City to escort the Grand Lama Yilaguke, who had the palm print, to Duolunnuoer for trial.

According to the text of the Lifan Academy, His Majesty the Emperor intends to hold the Monan Mobei Conference in Doron Nuoer to mediate the feud between the Tuxietu Khan and the Zasaktu Khan.Iraguk is an important witness.In front of many Mongolian princes, he had to tell how Galdan separated the relationship between the two ministries and created a fighting opportunity for himself.Galdan was not at ease entrusting this job to anyone, so he got on his horse and led the battle.

The ewes in the tribe are helped by herders to deliver their lambs, and the animals in the wild are also multiplying new generations with the gift of nature: the cute little rabbits are only slightly bigger than a human fist, and the rex and mice are scurrying around, and it takes the most vigilant hunters to see their escape routes.The sand fox was smarter and avoided the cavalry far away.

"Taiji, I should bring some hounds out, I'm sure I can catch quite a few."

"It's important. Hunting. Wait for Dobb to come back. He's amazing!"

"That's right! Changsun Taiji, I haven't seen him shoot and shoot!"

Chasu seemed to be able to understand the human language, and when he heard them praising his master, he raised his head proudly, and trotted happily without being urged by Galdan's whip.Soon, the gate of Guihua City was faintly visible.

There was a trace of tension floating in the cool air in the morning.The closer they got, the more obvious it became.

Because he needs to come here to collect food from time to time, Galdan is very familiar with the guards at the gate of the city.He knew the reason not to inquire if you don't have money, so he took out two small silver ingots from his pocket and gave them to a small officer who was usually easy to talk to.

"Why, something happened in the city?"

"Isn't it! That lama ran away! You are late!"

"Ran?"

"Well. Come here and say it, so that no one will hear it, and run to Dutong to make arrangements for me."

Galdan followed him to the base of the city wall, whispering.

"The lama has always been very quiet. When he caught someone, he said that he was wronged. After a long time, the guards relaxed. There is a lot of oil and water in the temple, and they like to drink two cups. They said that you are coming to pick up people. The servant of the Lifan Academy came last night. When I went to the temple to see, the two gatekeepers were knocked out. There is no one in the house. There is only a letter saying that his father is dead and he is going back to Tibet for the funeral. The city is in chaos. "

It's been a long time coming.

Galdan thanked him politely, returned to his team, and told them to camp outside the city to rest first, and he wanted to go into the city to ask for an idea.

"We are here to pick up people. If they are gone, whether to help chase them or go back, you have to ask the Lifan Court."

Perhaps it was the sensitive word "chasing" that stimulated Chasu's desire to win. It began to dig the ground, and beat the soil rhythmically with its four hooves, as if it was calculating how to use its strength and run next.

A good rider loves a horse.Several people in the team, seeing that Chasu was so eager to try, came out and encouraged Galdan to try to chase him.

"Taiji, which horse on the grassland dares to be faster than Chasu? You just ride it, and you will be able to catch up!"

"Exactly! Once in and out, it takes a lot of work!"

Dobu treasured this horse so much that even his father would not borrow it easily. Galdan had long been curious about how fast it could run, so he got on the horse on a whim.

"Then I'll try. You send someone in and say something. Even if you can't catch up, I'll definitely be back before dark."

"Taiji, don't worry. Let's take a rest. If you still have energy, follow suit. Is it in the direction of Lhasa?"

"No. Iraguk must have gone to find Galdan. I'll look in the direction of Kobdo. You guys follow as soon as possible."

Chasu is such a rare horse.It hardly needs any instruction or urging, it starts at the highest speed, jumps and moves, and runs for three or four hundred meters.

The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, but that is the case.

At high speed, everything on the grassland becomes hazy: white sheep, fiery red wild flowers, and round yurts.Galdan hadn't exercised so happily since he was injured, and he had a hard time getting addicted.But he still cherishes his son's horse, and when he senses Chasu starting to sweat, he signals it to stop.

"Wait a while. It's useless for me to catch up alone."

There was a creek about two miles away.Galdan dragged Chasu and walked over slowly.Not only was the horse running hot, but he was also hot. He tore off his fur robe and tied it around his waist, squatting down to wash his face.

Chasu was not in a hurry to drink water, but first looked for young alfalfa on the ground to eat.Galdan stood up and saw it, and shook his head helplessly.

"Dobu is so used to you, you have such a tricky mouth."

White clouds move slowly across the clear blue sky.The weather was perfect, unbelievably clear.

Galdan probably ran out for nearly a hundred miles, but there was still no trace left by Iraguk around.

There were only a few children herding sheep, gathered together, laughing and joking.

Anyway, just ask first.

Sure enough, he found a few pieces of halva in the pocket on Chasu's body.

"Borrow your snacks."

Chasu growled angrily, turning his face away from him.

Galdan walked up to the children and first showed them the snacks in his hands.

"I'm here to find someone. If any of you see it, tell me and take this candy."

"Who are you looking for?"

"Stranger. The same as me, never seen before. If he is right about his appearance, there will be sweets."

The children chattered and made up nonsense, and Galdan quickly realized that they had met no one they didn't know today except himself, so he divided the sugar evenly and led Zhasu on the road again.

After another [-] miles or so, the sky gradually turned dark, so Galdan had no choice but to give up, turned his horse's head, and hurriedly urged the horse back to Huacheng.

But when passing the creek, Chasu suddenly stopped and couldn't run away.It tensed its whole body, even its ears.

Galdan drew his knife immediately.

No, there is an ambush.

Duolunnuoer, roughly today's Duolun County, under the jurisdiction of the Xilin Gol League in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region; Kebuduo, a place name in the Qing Dynasty, now belongs to four countries including my country.It is roughly a piece of land north of Xinjiang.
