Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 686: One big sword shakes the morale of the army (Part )

"Chahar" means "border" in Mongolian, and it is named because it is located outside the border. This department has always been directly subordinate to the Great Khan of Mongolia, and keeps the imperial seal of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty and the Sulu ingot of Genghis Khan. But since Lin Danhan died and Ezhe surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the tribe lost its independence and became Inner Mongolia in the mouth of the Qing Dynasty. It was classified as Zhenglan, Bianbai, Zhengbai and Bianhuang on the left wing, and Zhengyang and Zhenghong on the right wing. , bordered with red, bordered with blue eight flags. The Chahar capital was directly under the jurisdiction of the capital. Not only the capital, but also the deputy capital, ministers of casual rank, counselors, assistants, cavalry schools, military guards schools, forward schools and other officials were dispatched by the Qing court. In other words, the Qing government Already directly controlled the Chahar Ministry.

As a part of Inner Mongolia, the Chahar Eight Banners are completely different from the Eight Banners Mongolia that has been incorporated into the Eight Banners sequence, and their treatment is much worse than that of the official Eight Banners soldiers. In the original history, the Qing government mixed the Chahar tribe with the surrendered Erut (Oirat) and Khalkha Mongolian tribes to form the Eight Banners of Chahar. In this time and space, because the Kingdom of David stood majestically in the west, there were very few Oirat Mongols and Khalkha Mongols who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The so-called Eight Banners of Chahar were actually only organized into the left-wing blue, bordered white, straight white, The four flags bordered by yellow and the four flags bordered by yellow, red, red and blue on the right wing are just empty frames.

Sunahai, a bachelor of the Hongwen Academy of the Qing Dynasty, was appointed as the left-wing commander of Chahar and in charge of right-wing affairs. On the surface, it was because of his experience in serving Mongolia that the imperial court entrusted him with important tasks. In fact, with the rise of Weiguo in recent years, the environment in Chahar as an official was not only difficult, but also risky, and no Manchu nobles wanted to go. He was born in the Tatala clan of Zhengbai Banner in Manchuria and was considered an old member of Dorgon. He was in a difficult situation in the court and lacked a foundation. Therefore, even if you don’t want to go on this mission, you have to go.

Chahar Dutong Mansion is an earthen enclosure built with wood, stones and soil on the grassland. In the Dutong Mansion, Sunahai sat on the official chair and stared at the royal sword hanging on the wall. The sword was given to him by Emperor Shunzhi. The words of the Holy Emperor when he bestowed the sword are still in his ears, "Sunahai and Chahar are the gateways to Datong and even the capital. You hold this sword to guard the gateway for me." "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this servant will never dare to live up to His grace. If he cannot defend Chahar, he will kill himself with this knife." His excited words were also in his ears at that time.

"The commander-in-chief, the deputy commander-in-chief and the counselors are all here, waiting to be received," the confidant Goshiha (Manchu, meaning guard) reported.

At this time, among the eight banners of Chahar, the four banners of Zhengyang, Zhengred, Bordered Red and Bordered Blue on the right wing only had more than a hundred households each, which was just an empty frame; among the four banners of Zhenglan, Bordered White, Bordered White and Bordered Yellow on the left wing, Sunahai He took the Zhengbai flag, the deputy capital commanded the Hulukezhai mulberry collar and the yellow flag, the deputy capital commanded the Badaxizhai mulberry collar and the white flag, and the deputy capital commanded the Tashi Hailing Zhenglan flag. Among these three, the eldest Hulu Kezhai Sang is over sixty years old, Badasi Zhai and Tashhai are also nearly sixty years old. They are all veterans of Lin Dan Khan's period. When Lin Dan Khan was defeated in Qinghai, he had to surrender. of Qing. In order to stabilize the people's hearts when the Manchu and Qing dynasties organized the Eight Banners of Chahar, they appointed these three highly respected old men as deputy commanders and banner leaders. However, they were not at ease with them and sent counselors (called Jia La Zhang in Manchu) to each banner. Beijing) is in charge of the military power of each banner.

"Well, let them all come in," Sunahai said calmly.

Seven people filed in. The three old men headed by them are naturally the three banner leaders Hulu Ke Zhai Sang, Bada Xi Zhai Sang, and Tashi Hai. The following four are powerful, aged between thirty and forty, and are leaders of the Xianghuang Banner. Su Hetai, Zhengbai Banner Alinbao, Xiangbai Qin Ling Tela, Zhenglan Banner Qin Ling Mo Jun.

"Everyone, I just received a letter from Prince An asking for help. The Guards are attacking Guihua City. You must quickly gather our troops and follow me to rescue Guihua City." Sunahai got straight to the point and gave the order directly.

"This~" Hulu Ke Zhai Sang, Bada Xi Zhai Sang, and Tash Hai looked at each other. After the Qing surrender, the Qing Dynasty often recruited the Eight Banners of Chahar to accompany the expedition. In these years, the number of casualties among the clan's children was not small.

"嗻", Su Hetai, Alinbao, Tela, and Mo Jun agreed in unison. They are all descendants of Manchuria, and they actually hold the military power of the Four Banners, so they naturally take orders.

Hulu Ke Zhai Sang, Bada Xi Zhai Sang, and Tashi Hai had no choice but to shout "嗻" and respectfully accept their orders.

"Okay! You are all loyal ministers of the Qing Dynasty. After the siege of Guihua is lifted, I will go to the imperial court to ask for your merits." Sunahai was overjoyed.

Under the iron fist of Manchuria, the Eight Banners of Chahar mobilized quickly. Sunahai gathered 15,000 troops and headed for Guihua City in the west.

You go west and I go east. On the orders of Lotus Great Khan, Qi King Melas and Chahar King Abu Nai led 10,000 cavalry from west to east and were also heading towards Chahar. "Brother, you said that we were ordered to recruit the Chahar tribe this time. Will they be willing to do so?" King Melas of Qi asked his half-brother King Abu Nai of Chahar.

Abu Nai kept slowing down his horse and was half a horse behind his younger brother. Although the other horse was his biological brother, his father was the Lotus Khan and his own father was the dead Khan Lin Dan. Their status and status were very different. Therefore, you must be humble in front of your younger brother.

"Uh~ I want to play the Sulu ingot of my ancestors, hoping to recruit the Chahar people to surrender." Abu Nai's voice was low. When he first arrived in Monan, he had high-spiritedly believed that as long as he waved the flag of his ancestors, the various Mongolian tribes in Monan would surrender. Unexpectedly, they suffered a bloody blow in the face of the ruthless reality. Instead of surrendering, the Siziwang Banner, Ulat Banner and other southern Yunnan Mongolian tribes raised troops to resist. In the end, they relied on the bravery of the guards to pacify these tribes. This fully shows that the unification of Mongolia relied on strength, rather than the flag passed down by ancestors. Therefore, he had no confidence in the effectiveness of Sulu Ding Dahu, and his voice was lowered.

"It doesn't matter, brother, let's shoot the Sulu Ding Daban first. If the other party is willing to surrender, then we will beat them until they surrender." Melas's words were murderous and full of the domineering power of a strong man.

After hearing this, Abu Nai trembled and nodded in agreement.

Fifteen thousand Qing troops and ten thousand Guard troops met in the pasture of Chahar, Zhenghong Banner. The Qing army had a slight numerical advantage, while the Guards were more elite. A war is about to break out.

On the orders of King Abu Nai of Chahar, Lin Dan Khan's personal bodyguard and chief of thousands of households, Slenge, personally guarded Genghis Khan's Sulu Ding and moved forward slowly.

"Look, it's the Sulu ingot of the Holy Lord Genghis Khan."

"This Sulu tablet can only be used by the Mongolian Khan. But the Ezhe Khan is dead and the direct lineage of the Yuan Dynasty has been extinguished. Who is flying this banner?"

"I heard that Namu Zhongkedun was pregnant with Lin Dan Khan's posthumous son when he defected to the Wei Kingdom. His young master was named Abu Nai, and he was named King Chahar by the Wei Kingdom."

"The young master is opposite us. We must not be rude to him."

Abu Nai underestimated the power of this large flag. To other tribes, this Sulu ingot may be just a big flag, but to the Chahar tribe who have always regarded themselves as direct descendants of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, this Sulu ingot is the holy lord Genghis Khan. It is a symbol that one should never dare to desecrate.

Seeing this banner, the Chahar Eight Banners soldiers were disheartened and noisy. There were even old soldiers who couldn't help but kneel down while looking at the banner with tears streaming down their faces.
