I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 296 The Problem of Inner Khalkha

The geographical location of Inner Khalkha is like a central cross, which is extremely special.

To the west is Lindan Khan Chahar Mongolia, to the north is Horqin Mongolia, which was married to Nurhaci, to the east is the Great Jin Kingdom established by Nurhaci, and to the south is connected to Ming Guangning, Shenyang and other places.

Therefore, Inner Khalkha is located between the Ming Dynasty, Chahar Dynasty and Jianlu Dynasty, and is the object of competition.

Of course, it goes without saying that Lin Dan Khan was the Great Khan of Mongolia, and Inner Khalkha was nominally taking orders from him.However, Lin Danhan turned a blind eye to Nurhachi's repeated provocations against NeiKalkha, which made NeiKalkha gradually dissatisfied with him.

In the end, they could only choose between the Ming Dynasty and the Jianqi Dynasty, but as mentioned above, the five Inner Khalkha tribes had different attitudes towards the Jianqi Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty due to their different positions and interests.

Therefore, as the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, Heshun's first stop after going to Nekarkha was to go to the Zalut and Ongirats tribes that were least likely to deal with the Jianlu.

The three tribes of Zalut, Wengjirat, and Bayuet are located to the north of the Xiliao River. They actually occupy the territory of Fuyuwei, one of the original three guards of Duoyan, and are right in the middle between Jianlu and Horqin.

In March of the 47th year of Wanli (1619), after Nurhachi won the great victory of Sarhu, he captured Kaiyuan in June and Tieling in July.

The place where Wengjirat, Bayot, and Zalut traded with the Ming Dynasty was Tieling. Tieling was conquered and annexed by Houjin, which meant that the three tribes lost the important market entrance they had relied on for a long time to trade with the Ming Dynasty. , As the strongest of the three, Wengjirat Taiji Zhaisai was naturally not happy.

He contacted Zhongnen and Seben from Zhalut Taiji, as well as more than 20 people from Taiji from Bayot's tribe, and gathered more than [-] troops to ambush the Houjin army and regain control of Tieling.

It’s just that he completely underestimated Nurhachi, and was eventually defeated and captured. The leader of the five inner Khalkha tribes, Wengjirat Taiji Zhaisai, who was once rampant for a while, had his spine broken in a battle, and is still imprisoned by Nurhachi.

Although Nurhachi's actions made Wengjirat put off the move and dare not act rashly, Bayot and Zalut's tribe didn't really care.Instead, he kept plundering Jianlu's envoys and merchants, which made Nurhaci become murderous. He wanted Yue Tuo to wipe out the Jarut tribe in one fell swoop, and asked Nekalkha to be more honest with him.

Heshun, who was taking refuge in Nekarkha, naturally understood this matter very well, so he made a vow before setting off, thinking that Ongirat, Zalut and other tribesmen who had always been enemies of the Jianlu would listen to his opinions.

But when he actually arrived in Nekalkha and invited various Balut tribes and even Ongirat Taiji to discuss, he found that the situation was full of problems.

Heshun looked at Taiji, who was still arguing in front of him, and his forehead was almost twisted into the character "Chuan".

"Kutuktu Khan (Lin Dan Khan) has sent Lenghong Taiji with [-] cavalry just to rescue Zasai Taiji. Now Nurhachi has sent people over to join forces with Lenghong Taiji and teach Nurhaci a lesson. Let him not underestimate us!"

Zhong Nentaiji of the Zharut tribe had never taken Nurhachi seriously. He allowed the Zalut tribe to plunder the Jianlu missions and merchant groups because of his acquiescence.

"Haha, Zhongnen Taiji, please stop talking nonsense. I remember that in March, Lenghong Taiji wrote a letter saying that he would lead troops to rescue Zasai Taiji, but it has been five months and he has not come yet. Now he has come to report that he has left. I wonder if it will be thunder but no rain again this time, haha."

As soon as Zhong Nantai's auspicious words came out, everyone immediately choked.

Although Lin Dan Khan is now the co-owner of Nekarkha, he turned a blind eye and refused to resist when Nekarkha was repeatedly bullied by Nurhaci, which made the five tribes of Nekarkha very dissatisfied, especially Wengjirat Since Zaisai was arrested, they have heard nothing from them despite asking for help, and their hearts are filled with resentment.

"That's because the ice and snow in March have not yet melted, which hindered Lenghong Taiji's journey. A few days ago, he sent a messenger saying that he has set off and will arrive soon. By then, he is afraid of Yue Tuo."

Seeing that everyone did not trust his words, Zhong Nentaiji's fat body immediately trembled with excitement. For fear that others would not believe it, he immediately took out the letter and showed it to everyone.

Heshun sat aside and watched Zhong Nen Taiji's performance, shaking his head in his heart, thinking that this Zhong Nen Taiji was really stupid. He did not take the initiative to respond to Nurhaci's attack, but instead placed his hope on Lin Dan Khan. Really? Abandon the basics and seek the last.

"Zhongnen Taiji, your words are certainly reasonable, but according to our intelligence, Yue Tuo has already left Tielingwei and crossed the Liao River. Now he is attacking us. Instead of trying your best to save yourself, you put your hope in For these useless outsiders? It’s simply stupid!”

So Heshun immediately stood up and refuted Zhong Nentaiji's ridiculous remarks in front of everyone. At the same time, he looked around and saw everyone quiet down, and then continued:

"Dear Taijis, I have been in Inner Khalkha for nearly five days. The so-called military speed is so great. We have no idea what Yue Tuo did after crossing the Liao River or where he went.

Now you Taiji are still arguing with each other, unwilling to gather troops, and even thinking of seeking foreign aid. Maybe he has arrived at the door of our camp long ago, and we don't know it yet. "

After hearing Heshun's "impassioned" remarks, everyone looked down upon him.Before Zhongnentaiji could refute, Sebentaiji from the Zalut tribe had already stood up. "Khutuktu Khan is the co-owner of Inner Khalkha, so what's unreasonable about waiting for him to send troops to assist? He Shunqin is talking like this, isn't it because he hopes that our Inner Khalkha can rely on the power of the Ming Dynasty.

Faced with the repeated defeats of Jianlu, what qualifications do you have to criticize us? This report is not an attempt to use our strength to deal with Nurhaci. You go back and tell Xiong Tingbi that we, Nei Khalkha, will not let Nurhaci drive us, so naturally we will not. I will not be driven by your Ming Dynasty. "

As soon as these words came out, Heshun was immediately furious. He was really treating his good intentions like a donkey's liver and lungs. He had worked so hard to come here, but he was so humiliated and jealous. He immediately stood up and wanted to confront Sebentaiji.The other Nekar Khataiji in the camp also felt that what Sebentaiji said was too much.

"Sebentaiji, what you said is too arrogant. If you hadn't robbed Nurhaci's messengers and caravans, how could you have recruited Yue Tuo. Now Heshun is sending us a message on behalf of the Ming Dynasty, so that we can be alert in advance. We have to be very grateful for this. Why do you still use bad words? This is not the way we treat guests in Mongolia."

Without waiting for Heshun to express his position, Arzhai Taiji of Wengjirat's tribe immediately stood up and refuted it. Not to mention whether Seben Taiji's words were correct or not, he just said that others who came to report the news should not treat him with such harsh words.

"Arzhai, don't think that we don't know your plan clearly. You just want to rely on the Ming Dynasty to save Sai Taiji. I think the Ming Dynasty is unreliable. It's the same as Nurhachi."

At this time, Heshun couldn't bear it anymore and immediately stood up and pointed to the opposite side and refuted:
"Since Sebentaiji is so brazen, I hope you can take care of yourself! Work with Chahar to repel Yue Tuo and don't be bullied by them."

After saying this, Heshun immediately jumped up from his seat, and regardless of the surprised looks of everyone in the tent, he left the tent angrily with his bodyguards.

After leaving the camp, I looked at the camp with people coming and going, and I couldn't help but feel depressed.

This is the upper reaches of the Xiliao River, where the Zalut tribe is stationed. As the second largest tribe in Inner Khalkha, the Zalut tribe has more than [-] people. The camp where it is located is also extremely prosperous. There are many Han craftsmen and even Han people in the camp. During this period, merchants traded with each other to make ends meet.

But Heshun didn't care about these things now. He sighed and walked towards the west of the camp with his bodyguard. After a while, he arrived in front of his tent.

"Lord Guerrilla, the people from Jinyiwei are here."

When the camp guards saw Heshun coming back, they immediately stepped forward to report.Hearing this, he showed doubts, but he didn't doubt his presence, so he just asked everyone to keep their tents and walked in.

As soon as he entered the camp, he saw two men dressed in green robes and dressed as merchants already waiting in the camp. When Heshun arrived, he immediately stood up and cupped his hands and said:
"Feng Yi, a member of Jinyiwei Baihu, and Yu Kai, a small flag officer, pay their respects to Master Guerrilla."

"No courtesy, please sit down, but Yang Yishan Qianhu asked you to come? I don't know what the instructions are."

Heshun waved his hand, then asked them to sit down and asked seriously.

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief He recently defeated Jianlu at Puhe Station, and at the same time sent troops north to occupy Yilu Station, so he allowed us to go directly to this place. Please read this letter."

Seeing Heshun asking, Feng Yi immediately took out the letter and explained.Officials only look at what others are doing, and they don't dare to offend Heshun at all. After all, everyone in Liaodong knows that behind Heshun stands the great god Yang Lian.

Heshun was shocked when he heard the news of the victory in Puhe. He eagerly took the letter and read it. His face became more and more happy as he read it, and he said three good words in a row.

"Okay, okay, it's really timely rain. Now I'm confident. I won't let the Zarut Department look down on me."

Heshun had experienced quite a lot during this period of time as he had just responded to each other's comments with the Zalut tribe in the big tent.He was also constantly thinking about why the Zarut Department had such a bad attitude towards him.

After much deliberation, he came up with only one reason, which was that the Ming army's combat power and prestige were too poor. According to previous reports, it was notoriously "stinky" and Nei Khalkha was not afraid of the Ming army at all.

And before the rise of Nurhaci, Nekalkha had always been at odds with the Ming Dynasty, and even had a feud. Now that the Ming army suddenly wanted to help them, they naturally didn't believe it, so Zhong Nentaiji and others from the Zalut tribe came to I will place my hopes on Lin Dan Khan.

But Heshun's concerns were completely dispelled at this time. He believed that as long as the Nekalka group knew the news that the Ming army had defeated Jianlu again, they would not be as arrogant as before.

Seeing Heshun's surprise, Feng Yi and the two looked at each other, but did not respond to Heshun's words. Instead, they said to Heshun seriously:
"Lord Guerrilla, in addition to this matter, there is another piece of bad news that I need to tell you."
