I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 379: Boshal's Ambition
Bosihar waved the whip and lashed his mount, with hundreds of guards following closely behind him. The group galloped across the grassland at lightning speed and soon arrived near Altan Khan's tent.

Bosihaer dismounted, threw his mount to the guard, said something to the night guard, kept wiping the sweat from his forehead and face, paced on the spot, waiting anxiously.

A personal steward of Altan Khan came out, saw Bosihar, nodded and led him into the big tent.

"Barisuha Kunpu, how has the Khan felt over the past ten days?" Bosihar asked softly.

Barisuhagen was the chief eunuch of the palace and the most trusted minister of Altan Khan. He was an old acquaintance of Bosihaer and had received many benefits from him.

Without even turning his head, he replied, "Not good. Trouble comes one after another. How can the Khan be in a good mood? The other day, he whipped a foolish Ming'an rabbit to death with a horsewhip."

Boshar's eyes rolled, and he continued, "I recently got a rare toy, a gold-and-jade-inlaid clock that tells the time. When the time comes, a bird will jump out and chirp, as beautiful as a lark.

It is said that it was brought from the West by the Ming people, thousands of miles away. I spent a thousand horses to buy it. "

Barisuha's eyes lit up with greed, "I've heard of it, it's a rare treasure in the world.

It is said that at that time, Nalin Taiji, Buyan Taiji, and Balin Taiji all wanted to buy it, but Kundulun Khan was generous and offered a thousand horses to snatch it away. "

"That's right. If you like it, you can take it and play with it. When you get tired of it, just return it to me."

Barisuha turned around and gave the kindest smile: "Thank you very much, Kundulun Khan."

He looked around and said softly, "Detailed news came from the east. Tumen Khan is finished. He suddenly went crazy and led the main force of the Chahar tribe to invade Liaodong from the north via Heishan, but was defeated in Kaiyuan City.

All 60,000 soldiers were killed or wounded, and it is said that Tumen Khan fled westward to the Khalkha territory with less than 3,000 soldiers.

The Ming army mobilized three armies and pursued them relentlessly, sweeping across the Chahar territory with the force of thunder. However, the Khan was afraid to act rashly because of the events in Ordos, so he could only sit back and watch the Ming army annex the Chahar.

Bosihaer rolled his eyes and said, "Kunpu should persuade the Khan. The Ming army's defeat of the Chahar tribe is a good thing. The Central Plains army cannot stand on the grassland.

After we eradicate the Tumen Khan's roots this year, they will naturally retreat back to the interior. Then the Khan will send people to take over the pastures and gather the tribesmen. The left wing will then submit to the Khan, which is a good thing."

"I also advised the Khan. But the Khan said that the current Ming army is different. They are different from the Ming army that attacked the northern grasslands a hundred years ago. They have firearms. Even the bravest grassland knights will be beaten to death by them like rabbits.

They are ambitious and have endless wealth. Just like we herd sheep by the water, they build cities along the rivers of the grassland. The castles made of cement and stones are nailed into the grassland like nails, and then woven into a net, trapping the tribes on the grassland into cages like cattle and sheep.

Bosihar's eyes became extremely sharp, and he murmured, "Does the Khan think so too?"

Barisuha walked in front and replied, "Yes, I don't know what happened to the Khan. He has become so worried. But there are a lot of bad things on our right wing. I think the Jineng incident is just the beginning."

When Bosihaer saw that Barisuha was about to turn back, his face changed and his eyes became cloudy and dull. "Yes, this time I was ordered by the Khan to investigate the murder of Jineng Jinong and to check the movements of his brothers and nephews. There is no good news."

Barisuha was delighted. If you had good news, why would you be willing to "lend" me that rare "Western" clock to play with?

Thinking that Boshaer was so generous, he could not just take the gift and not do anything, so he quickly provided some important information.

"In the past ten days, Molen Hatun has come to the Khan several times and threatened that if anyone dared to harm Bahanaji's life, she would move her people to Qinghai and sever all ties with the Khan."

Bertha took a breath.

Moran Hatun's words were very serious.

Although several decades had passed and most of the royal tents and soldiers she inherited from her father Sayin Alaq Khan had been eaten up by Altan Khan, there were still several thousand tents and two to three thousand soldiers.

The key point is that Molun Hatun's departure had a huge political impact and was a big blow to Altan Khan. Altan Khan would not allow such a thing to happen unless it was absolutely necessary.

Jineng is dead and the dead cannot be resurrected. Now Altan Khan’s priority is to hold back Molenhatun and prevent her from turning against him.

Boshaer pondered over it in his mind and made up his mind.

Walking into the big tent, Altan Khan looked much more haggard. He stood up quickly, hugged Bosihar who had just finished his greeting, and spoke in a loud voice.

"Bethhar, my dear brother, please take a seat."

After the two men sat down, Altan Khan couldn't wait to say, "Bosihaer, tell me, after Jineng's death, what is the situation with the Ordos Wanhu?"

Among the Wanhu of Ordos, the chief lord is Jinong Jineng.

Jineng's elder brother, Lang Taiji, led the two tribes of Kokt Xibaoqin and Urad Tubot.

The third brother, Namuan, led the Dalat Hangjin and Merget Bahan tribes. The fourth brother, Hua Taiji, led the Basu Te Weixin tribe. The fifth brother, Kedenwei Zheng Taiji, led the Haoqi Te Keliyes tribe. The sixth brother, Darhan Taiji, led the Weiguoerqin tribe.

The seventh brother, Yinding Taiji, took charge of a department and had a good relationship with his nephew Qiejinhuang Taiji.

Huang Taiji is an anomaly among the tens of thousands of households in Ordos.

He was the son of Huataiji, the fourth son of Jinang, Altan Khan's elder brother. He had visions when he was born and became a good warrior when he grew up.

In the 41st year of Jiajing's reign, he followed Altan Khan to govern the Oirat and defeated the main force of the Torghut tribe with a small force. Altan Khan was very happy and gave him the surrendered Torghut and other Oirat tribesmen, and also gave him the Juyan Lake as a pasture.

From then on, Huang Taiji was stationed in Yijinai City (Ejin Banner, Inner Mongolia), with more than 10,000 tents of his followers and 10,000 elite soldiers and cavalry, and was semi-independent from Ordos Wanhu.

"Great Khan, after Jineng's death, Lang Taiji and Namu'an started to compete with each other for the people and soldiers of Jinong King's tent. Kedenwei Zheng Taiji and Darhan Taiji also joined in the fight. The four of them deployed their troops on the border, and neither of them gave in.

Jineng's four sons quickly divided up the royal troops and soldiers, chose an uncle as external aid, and started fighting.

Great Khan, the situation in Ordos is on the verge of breaking out. If we are not careful, it is very likely to lead to a melee involving tens of thousands of people."

Alda Khan's face suddenly fell.

He knew that although his nephews and grandchildren were fighting each other and wanted to beat the other side's brains into dog brains, as soon as he intervened in the Ordos households, they would immediately put aside their past grudges, form a faction and fight against him.

After a long while, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Where's Hannaji?"

"Great Khan, I heard that he fled west to Yijinai City."

Altan Khan's face changed, "What!"

Then he asked, "What is Hua Taiji's current movement?"

Bosihaer replied: "Great Khan, I have heard that Hua Taiji led his troops from the west of Yulin to the east of Ningxia."

The Juyan Lake is to the west of Ningxia, and you moved to the east of Ningxia. You and your son are in harmony with each other!
Qiejin Huang Taiji was a brave and resourceful man, a young talent in his tribe that Altan Khan had his eyes on. Now that he was trying to intervene in Ordos, Altan Khan was very wary of him.

He supported his father Hua Taiji in seizing the position of Ordos Jinong. As the eldest son, he could easily take over the position in a few years.

But how can this be possible!

At the beginning, Altan Khan was willing to support Qiejin Huang Taiji because he was talented but weak, and used him as a chess piece to contain Jineng and his brothers.

Now it unexpectedly becomes a hidden danger and disaster.

Bosihar looked at the expression on Aldan Khan's face and sneered in his heart.

Altan, you have come to this day!
When Sayinarak Khan passed the family business to his elder brother Jinang, he took you and me to fight in many battles to expand his father's business. But Jinang died at the age of thirty.

You, Altan, took the opportunity to marry Molenhatun, and took possession of all the people and main forces of your father's Khan's tent. You also took advantage of the fact that Jinang died early and your nephew Jineng was young and ignorant to snatch the Yongshebu tribe away. You also divided the Ordos Wanhu into several tribes and gave them to Jinang's sons. You said you were kind and generous, but in fact you didn't want Jinang's lineage to grow stronger.

What about me? I will gradually take away the Kharachin tribe that my brother gave me under the pretext of defending the Chahar tribe and give it to your eldest son, Xin Ai Huang Taiji.

As a result, he became arrogant and disobedient, betraying even you, his own father, and completely defeated the Kharchin tribe that I had conquered with great difficulty.

Noticing that Aldan Khan's gaze was turning to him, Bosihar immediately reported another piece of news.

"Great Khan, when I was investigating, the herdsmen nearby said they heard thunder when the incident happened."

"Was it raining?"

"No, it's a sunny day."

Altan Khan was a little confused. Thunder on a sunny day?

Could it be that my eldest nephew was killed by the thunder from Changshengtian?
wrong!

He suddenly remembered something, his face turned pale, and he turned his head to stare at Bershall.

"Firearms! The people who ambushed Jineng used firearms! Damn it! Could it be that the Ming army was also involved?"
