Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

After returning to Ningguta, Angbang Zhangjing Bahai was originally in a very good mood. During the period when he led his troops to fight in Hetuala, the deputy governor Nihari stationed in Jilin Ula and the deputy governor Haita stationed in Ningguta recruited another 3,000 warriors from the Solon tribes such as Ewenki, Daur, Oroqen, Bilar, Hezhe, and Feiyaka. Nihari even built 20 new warships, greatly enhancing the strength of the navy. The good news is not only that. Yine, the leader of the Huerha tribe of the Donghai Jurchens, led 2,000 warriors composed of Huerha, Wuji, and Valka tribes to come to reinforce; Zhanuka Bukto, the leader of the Daur Merzhe clan who had been incorporated into the Manchu Bordered Yellow Banner, also led 500 Daur soldiers to come to help. With the reinforcement, he was confidently waiting for the arrival of the guards, intending to give the pseudo-Khan a surprise in Ningguta.

Unexpectedly, due to the heavy snowstorm, the Wei army remained in Hetuala, but a series of bad news came from the northwest: the Daur people in the Bukhara area of ​​the Nenjiang River rioted, and Kenzhe Ule, Anggacha, Wumubuledai and others killed all the officials of the Qing Bukhara General Administration Office and led eight Niulu of Daur, Oroqen, Ewenki and other ethnic groups to surrender to the Wei; that was not all, the Barhu tribe in Hulunbuir and the Buryat tribe on the east coast of the North Sea (Lake Baikal) also surrendered to the Wei state; to make matters worse, the Luosha people who were driven back to Nerchinsk by themselves a while ago took advantage of the war between the Qing and Wei countries to make a comeback and reoccupy the military stronghold of Yaksa. They also lured the Ewenki people in the upper reaches of the Nenjiang River to surrender, including Baiyier, Koltyier, Duoyiduoule, Bodeyi and Tiliyani. As a result, thirteen of the sixteen Suolun Niulu in the Nenjiang River Basin have rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and surrendered to Wei or Luosha, leaving only three still loyal to the Qing Dynasty. How can this not make people worried?
Bahai, who claimed to be the best in the Qing Dynasty in terms of both military and literary skills, could not help but frown in the face of such a crisis. He spent the whole day looking at the map and thinking hard about countermeasures. The Jiala Zhangjing of the White Banner, Halde, entered his tent and saw that the commander was in deep thought. He did not dare to disturb him and stood quietly and waited cautiously. After a long time, the Ningguta Angbang Zhangjing woke up from his meditation and sighed after finding Halde who had been waiting for a long time, "I was too absent-minded for a moment, and I kept Halde Zhangjing waiting for a long time!"

"What are you talking about, Marshal? You are busy with state affairs, so why not wait for a while? But the whole army is counting on you, so please take good care of yourself!" Halde was very good at speaking. He made Bahai feel warm in his heart with just a few words. He looked at him and smiled, "I appreciate Zhang Jing's kindness, but state affairs are complicated. We have the responsibility to defend the land, so how dare we slack off? A few days ago, I asked Deputy Commander Haita to add new soldiers to your army. Have they been replenished?"

"Thanks to the Marshal's care, my subordinates have been fully replenished, a total of 1,500 soldiers, not one less," Halde said gratefully. He was not Bahai's confidant. He was originally under the control of Wukuli, the Angbang Zhangjing of Shengjing. Wukuli committed suicide while defending Shengjing, and he became a motherless child. He was temporarily under the command of Bahai, the Angbang Zhangjing of Ningguta. He thought that since he was not a confidant of the Marshal, it would be difficult to replenish the losses in the war. Unexpectedly, Bahai was upright and selfless, with clear rewards and punishments, regardless of relatives. Seeing that he was brave in battle, he ordered people to give priority to replenishing soldiers after each battle. This made him admire him very much, and he was willing to obey orders. Every time he saw Bahai, he called himself a humble official and respected him very much.

"Don't thank me first. I'm not giving you a rest by giving you reinforcements. I'm giving you a big battle to fight," Bahai waved his hand seriously. "The Daur people in Nenjiang rebelled. After killing Hongji, the chief of Butha, they forced eight Niulu from the Oroqen and Ewenki tribes to surrender to the Wei state. The Barhu and Buryat tribes also surrendered to the Wei state. The Rakshasa took the opportunity to stir up trouble, reoccupied Yaksa, and lured five Niulu from the Shima tribe to defect. Now, among the sixteen Solon Niulu in Nenjiang, , only three Niulu of the Shilu tribe (Oroqen) are left loyal to the Qing Dynasty. The west of the Nenjiang River cannot be defended. What we need to do now is to rely on the Heilongjiang and Songhua rivers to ensure the safety of the north and northwest of Ningguta. I have ordered the deputy governor Nihari to lead the navy to control the Songhua River. You will immediately lead your troops to Huliping Village and deploy defenses along the Heilongjiang River. In addition to your headquarters, Mukunda (clan leader) Beibao of the Daurde Dule tribe and Harada (chief) Duneheng of the Bilar tribe are all under your command."

"Yes!" Howard straightened his back and accepted the order.

Bahai looked at him with satisfaction. After Shengjing fell, the Ningguta generals despised the defeated army that escaped from Shengjing and believed that the army of Shengjing was not fit for battle. It was he who went against all odds and decisively used the defeated generals, which achieved good results. Fengtian Deputy Governor Dadu, Zhengbai Banner Jiala Zhangjing Haoerde and others showed great bravery in the subsequent battles. Although it was related to their desire to make meritorious deeds to atone for their sins, it was also an indisputable fact that he knew how to use people. He asked with a smile: "Today, Huliping Village is facing the threat of the Rakshasa ghost coming down the Heilongjiang River in the north, and we must also guard against the Weiguo crossing the Nenjiang River to attack the east in the west. Haoerde Zhangjing, you are between the two tigers, how do you plan to fight this battle?"

"I have no way of repaying the Marshal's kindness. No matter whether it is the Rakshasa ghosts or the guards who attack, I have no choice but to fight to the death and die on the battlefield!" Howard roared with his neck stiff, and it was obvious that he had the intention of dying.

"In this case, Huliping Village is in danger! Our army is in danger!" Bahai was shocked.

"I am incompetent, please show me the strategy, Marshal." Seeing that he did not agree with his willingness to fight to the death for his country, Holden was a little confused and asked for instructions with a red face.

"Our army has suffered repeated defeats and suffered heavy losses. Both the Wei Kingdom and the Luosha Ghost are much stronger than our army. If you only know how to defend, you will not be able to defend Huliping Village or even the entire rear of our army. When you go to Huliping Village, the first thing you need to do is to immediately move the three Suolun Niulu who are still loyal to the Qing Dynasty in the upper reaches of the Nen River to the east bank of the lower reaches of the Jieya River to avoid the sharp edge of the Qing and Wei countries; secondly, you need to establish good relations with the Daur people on the east bank of the lower reaches of the Jieya River and the Bilar people on both sides of the Bilar River (Bureya River). I will let Daur Dedu Mukundabeibao of the Le tribe and Harada (chief) Duneheng of the Bilar tribe will go with you for this purpose; the most important thing is that you only need to defend Huliping Village, and never take the initiative to attack the guards and the Rakshasa ghosts. The Rakshasa ghosts have always wanted to expand their power, and they will inevitably go south to Hulunbuir and Nenjiang, and clash with the local Suolun tribes. Most of these tribes have surrendered to the guards, and they will inevitably cause conflicts with the guards. If the Rakshasa ghosts fight with the guards, Huliping Village will be completely safe, and our army will have nothing to worry about," Bahai smiled and pointed out to him.

"I understand. The commander-in-chief wants me to sit on the mountain and watch the fight. Please rest assured that when I arrive at Huliping Village, I will follow your strategy and defend without attacking, waiting for the fight between the Rakshasa ghosts and the guards." Halde laughed.
