Chapter 564 Hetuala
Everyone followed the sound and found that the person speaking was actually Sebuteng Taiji from the Khalkha Balin Tribe.

Last year, Jianlu attacked various tribes in Inner Khalkha, and the one that gained the most was the Bahrain tribe. They captured countless men, horses, cattle and sheep, which greatly increased their strength. Their strength reached more than [-], which can be said to be on par with Horqin.

After tasting this sweetness, the Bahrain tribe obeyed Jianlu's words.Even if he suffered heavy losses when he sent troops following Huang Taiji at the beginning of the year, he would not look back this time.

There is no other reason, that is, the Bahrain Department now has no way to retreat.

Last year, although as the leading party, it annexed other tribes in Inner Khalkha.But most of those who were unwilling to submit to the Bahrain tribe went to the Ongist tribe.

Now out of the five Inner Khalkha tribes, only the Ongizit tribe and the Bahrain tribe are left, and these two tribes are incompatible with each other. They regard each other as enemies.

The Ongjit tribe relies on the Ming Dynasty, and the Bahrain tribe relies on the Ming Dynasty. For both of them, it is either you die or I live. There is no other choice.

So even if Horqin no longer supports Huang Taiji, the Bahrain Ministry will support him.Otherwise, once the Jianlu were defeated, the Ongjishit tribe would never let go of the traitor Bahrain.At that time, what awaits Zhu Taiji of the Bahrain Department is a large-scale liquidation, which is something Sebuteng and others never want to see.

Seeing that Sebuteng actually opposed it and stood clearly on Huang Taiji's side.The Horqin Taijis who had been clamoring just now to hand over Huang Taiji to make peace with the Ming Dynasty suddenly became a little quieter and looked at Badali one after another, not knowing what to do.

Badali did not expect that the people in Bahrain would support Huang Taiji, and he was at a loss when he saw him saying this.

The only reason was that although the Horqin tribe was the main force this time, the Bahrain tribe also sent [-] troops, and its power should not be underestimated, so he did not dare to offend.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look to Ming An Tai Ji for help.

Ming'an Taiji was a little surprised when he saw Sebuteng say this, but naturally he did not dare to underestimate the attitude of the Bahrain Department, so he quickly waved his hand and said:

"Sebutengtaiji, you don't have to worry. As I said just now, the interception and killing of Chahar was originally discussed by our Horqin Department. It has nothing to do with Huang Taiji, so why should we blame him? As for making good friends with the Ming Dynasty This matter does not necessarily have to use Huang Taiji as a bargaining chip. If anyone dares to do this, I, Ming'an, will be the first to disagree."

Sebuteng naturally would not believe the lies of people like Ming'an, but he did not care about these people. Instead, he walked forward, slowly looked at Huang Taiji, bowed with one hand and said:

"Sibeile, you are the son of the Great Jin Khan, and naturally you are also an honored guest of my Bahrain Department. Since Horqin and others are so insincere, you can come back to the Bahrain Department with me. Our Bahrain Department will never treat you badly."

At this moment, Manggustaji, who had been silent, finally expressed his stance.

"Huang Taiji is a distinguished guest of my Horqin tribe, and he is also the son-in-law of my Manggusi. Although Amin surrendered, the Jurchens have not lost yet. Fighting against the Ming Kingdom and Lin Dan Khan requires the joint efforts of Horqin, the Bahrain tribe and the Jurchens. Without No way. So in the future, if anyone dares to hand over Huang Taiji in exchange for reconciliation with the Ming Dynasty, I, Mang Gusi, will be the first to disagree. Now, whoever dares to touch him will only want to touch me and Zaisai. Two people.”

As soon as Mang Gusi said these words, everyone immediately understood.

Now among the people present, the Bahrain tribe, as well as Horqin's two major jis, Mang Gusi and Zaisang father and son, are now on Huang Taiji's side, and Huang Taiji is afraid that he will not be able to move.

Seeing that the situation was so clear, Huang Taiji no longer remained silent.

"Everyone, Taiji, the matter has come to this, and it is useless to say anything. If handing me over can really ease the relationship between Horqin and the Ming Dynasty, then I have no complaints." "Oh, why is it like this, why is it like this! Please sit down and tell me. .”

Seeing that so many people were supporting Huang Taiji, Ming'an and others did not dare to confront him head-on and immediately comforted him.Seeing that Ming An and others gave in and appeased, the others no longer struggled and returned to their seats one after another. They never mentioned the Huang Taiji incident again, but discussed that they should return to Horqin Station as soon as possible.

Only Huang Taiji knew that this matter was not over.

Now that Tie and Kai were lost, he was afraid that he might not be able to go back for a while, and he didn't want to go back.For the sake of Dai Jin and himself, Horqin must be firmly tied to the Jurchen chariot as soon as possible, and he must not seek peace with the Ming Kingdom.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Ming'an and Badali. The first step was to find a way to get rid of them first.

Jianlu, Hetuala.

Starting from Sarhu, we walked eastward along the Suzi River for 150 miles, passing through Gule Village, Maldun Village and other forts, and finally arrived at Hetuala.

Hetuala is Manchu, and its Chinese translation is Henggang, which is a city built on a flat-topped hill.As the name suggests, this place is built on a mountain running east-west, with towering cliffs and surrounded by water on three sides, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Because of the geographical location, Nurhaci built the castle here in the 31st year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty.

Two years later, the outer city was added.The inner city is four miles in circumference and is inhabited by Nurhaci and his relatives.The outer city is ten miles in circumference and is inhabited by the Eight Banners tribe.Outside the north gate of the outer city are the residences of craftsmen, blacksmiths, bowsmiths, and soldiers and horses. They live in separate areas and in an orderly manner.

This place was originally very prosperous, and Nurhachi would move the population here every time he returned from a victory. Therefore, when it was at its peak, Hetuala was considered a prosperous place among the Jurchens.

But just two years ago, after Nurhaci moved the capital to Sarhu, he also moved all his relatives and Eight Banners nobles here, resulting in a sharp decline in the number of people in Hetuala.Coupled with the successive defeats, the deployment of bannermen and the purge and massacre of the Liao people, the original old city of Hetuala was no longer prosperous and sparsely populated.

But since the end of March, Hetuala has suddenly become lively.There are many more carriages and horses coming from Saarhu than before.Many family members of the Eight Banners nobles rushed to Hetuala with their gold and silver treasures to clean up their old houses again. It seemed that there were no signs of going back in the short term.

As the guard of Hetuala, Yue Tuo was well prepared for this. Once he arrived at Hetuala, he did not directly implement the Liao Massacre Order.

Instead, he first sent someone to take care of the Khan Palace Yamen, while he stationed himself at the Eight Banners Yamen to work.At the same time, he ordered people to rectify armaments, repair equipment, and strengthen the defense of the forts along the road and Hetuala. At the same time, he also ordered people to go to the North Korean border to conduct reconnaissance and secretly contact Gwanghaejun's old department.

Therefore, when the families of the Eight Banners from Sarhu came to Hetuala, Hetuala did not panic. Instead, it was in an orderly manner, welcoming a steady stream of people, horses and supplies from Sarhu.

And all of this is Yue Tuan's preparation for the future. Before he came, Nurhaci had secretly told him to use Hetuala as a fallback route in case of any eventuality.

It's just that this back-road puzzle is missing the most critical piece, and this piece of the puzzle has now arrived outside the city of Hetuala.

 The final layout of Liaodong was immediately over, and then there was a complete liquidation.Allow me to sort out my thoughts.
