Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 1023: Hailanpao Fratricide

Located at the confluence of the Heilongjiang River and the Jieya River (Jingqili River), Hailanpao is just a small village, but because it is a transportation hub between the two rivers, its geographical location is extremely important. Later, this place became the capital and largest port of the Amur Oblast in Russia. In this era, it belonged to the territory of the Daur Deduer tribe of China.

After the Qing Zhengbai Banner Jiala Zhangjing Haoerde led 1,500 Eight Banners outside the Pass to settle in Huliping Village, he followed Bahai's instructions and tried his best to establish good relations with the local Solon tribe and recruited soldiers from nearby Daur, Bilal (a branch of the Oroqen people), Qiler (Oroqen) and other tribes. He saw that the Daur Deduer tribe had been nomadic on the east bank of the lower reaches of the Jieya River for a long time and was familiar with the terrain here, so he ordered Mukunda (clan leader) and Zuoling Beibao to lead 1,300 Daur soldiers to garrison in Hailanpao.

Beibao is the son of Bayalbuha, the former Mukunda of the Dedu tribe. After Bayalbuha died heroically for the Qing Dynasty in Hetuala, Bahai, the Angbang Zhangjing of Ningguta, was moved by his loyalty and ordered Beibao to inherit his father's position and serve as the Mukunda of the entire Dedu tribe. This arrangement was well-thought-out. It not only sent a clear signal to the tribes loyal to the Qing Dynasty that they would not let down the loyal ministers and righteous men, but also won the hearts of the people of the Daur Dedu tribe. But Bahai Zhangjing overlooked one point: Beibao was too young, just in his early twenties, and lacked the prestige of his father Bayalbuha. Many elders in the tribe were not convinced that he suddenly became a Mukunda. This was normal. Not everyone could be like the Great Khan of Lotus and hold the horse whip of the tribe at the age of thirteen. As long as he was given more time to help him establish his prestige, there would be no big problem. But the key was that there was not so much time to slowly establish prestige during the war.

Kenzhewule's cousin and Beibao's cousin Anggacha came from Yiwoqi, bringing two letters of persuasion from Wei Guo Marshal Orros and Kenzhewule to Beibao. The letter written by Orros was full of threats, such as "I have never been defeated in my quest for thousands of miles" and "The trend of strength and weakness has been established, don't do something like hitting a rock with an egg", etc.; the letter written by Kenzhewule contained a strong family affection, first describing the bitterness of the four mukuns he and others were forced to move from the Jieya River to the Nenjiang River by the Qing army, then talking about the flesh-and-blood connection between the Deduer surnames in the two places, and affectionately called Beibao "Du" (brother), and then told the story of Beibao's father Bayalbuha who had participated in the anti-Qing campaign with himself and others, and finally asked him to recognize the situation that Wei was strong and Qing was weak and to abandon the dark and join the light as soon as possible.

Seeing that Anggacha mentioned that his father, Bayalbuha, a "loyal minister" of the Qing Dynasty, had participated in the anti-Qing event in the past, Beibao was furious. At that time, Huang Taiji ordered Baldazi, Koyobulu, and Merdiyiner to capture the five leaders of the Daur tribe with the surname Samalji who refused to pay tribute to the Qing court, which aroused the rebellion of the Daur people in the Jieya River Basin. The rebels killed Koyobulu and Merdiyiner, and his father Bayalbuha also participated in the rebellion. Fortunately, his father saw that Koyobulu's son Mandai was pitiful and saved Mandai's life. Therefore, his merit was not pursued afterwards, but it was a "stain" after all. I didn't expect that the old man Kenzhe Ule would bring up the old things again, trying to provoke the relationship between my Dedule tribe and the Qing Dynasty. He really had evil intentions! Because both father and son were highly valued by the Qing court and were appointed as Mukunda of the tribe, Bebao was grateful to the Qing Dynasty at this time. How could he tolerate such provocation? He said coldly: "My cousin Kenzhe Ule is wrong. The ones who rebelled in the past were Pozhuko, Murgudeyi, Sibutul and others. My father did not participate. As for the surrender to the Wei, how can a loyal minister serve two masters?"

"Brother, don't be stubborn, or you will regret it in the future!" Anggacha said anxiously.

"My words are like shot arrows and poured water. There is no reason to regret them." Bei Bao drew his sword and sneered, "Brother, considering that you are from the same clan, I will not kill you today. Please go back tomorrow morning."

Seeing that his cousin was stubborn, Anggacha said no more and returned to his tent. He wanted to go to other Daworde Dule taijis to persuade them, but found that the tent was surrounded by Beibao's men and he couldn't get out. He couldn't help but sneer, "How dare you do this?"

The next day, Anggacha was driven out of the Daur army camp in Hailanpao. He was so angry that he rode out of the camp without saying a word. When he reached a birch forest, he suddenly stopped.

“Chirp~Chirp~Chirp~”

After his subordinates imitated the bird's call three times, three people suddenly emerged from the forest. It turned out that Anggacha had already made a backup plan. Before meeting Beibao, he sent his followers to meet the three Daurde Dule tribe taijis, Bursai, Qinuo, and Mandai, and agreed to meet here. "How is it? What did they say?" Anggacha asked anxiously.

"Captain of the Thousand Households, Bursay Taiji said that he is Beibao's uncle, and we should stand together. Let me go and ask Beibao's attitude first," said an attendant.

"Hmph! What uncle? He is also Qinuo's uncle by blood, so why doesn't he support Qinuo? It's just for the sake of interests." Anggacha sneered after hearing this. Bursai is the brother-in-law of Jidinai, the Taiji of the Deduler tribe. When the Daur people revolted against the Qing Dynasty, the brothers Koyobulu and Merdiyiner, former mukundas of the Deduler tribe who were pro-Qing, were killed. Jidinai, the younger brother of Koyobulu, should have inherited the position of mukunda, but although Jidinai also participated in the rebellion, he was killed by the rebels. After the Qing court suppressed the rebellion, Bayalbuha married Jidinai's widow, adopted Jidinai's son Qinuo as his adopted son, annexed his tribe, and greatly increased his power. Later, Bayalbuha flattered the Qing Dynasty, was named a colonel, and became the mukunda of the Deduler tribe. In terms of blood relationship, Bursai was first Qinuo's uncle, and then Beibao's uncle. But after Bayalbuha died, he did not support Qino to succeed to the throne, but supported Beibao. There were rumors that Beibao had promised his uncle considerable benefits, so Anggacha said so.

"Mandai Taiji said that if it weren't for Beibao's father Bayalbuha who pleaded for the young him, he would have died in the rebellion. So, he obeyed Beibao's decision and asked me to ask Beibao not to see him privately in the future," said another follower.

"Well, this boy has a conscience," Anggacha nodded slightly, and quickly glanced at the third follower with eagle-like eyes, "What does Zino say?"

"Qinotaiji said that Bebao's father Bayalbuha married his mother, so he and Bebao are brothers. Such important matters as war and peace should be decided by Mukunda, let's go ask Mukunda first," the attendant lowered his head in shame. He knew that the thousand-household leader had great hopes for Bebao, but he did not complete the task.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Anggacha burst into laughter and said, "Come on, follow me to see Qino."

"Captain, didn't Zino ask us to ask Mukundabebao first?" the attendant asked in confusion.

"Haha," Anggacha sneered, "Zino said that we should ask Mukunda first, but what if we let him become Mukunda?" (End of this chapter)
