Ming Dynasty: A mere unruly commoner is rebelling against the heaven?

Chapter 149: Chagatai Khanate, destroyed!

Mahamu Khan was overwhelmed by anger, pain, regret and sorrow and had completely lost his mind.

He was so angry that he was going crazy and just wanted to kill Ahama Khan to vent his anger.

Ahama Khan was now very rational. While running, he advised Mahamu Khan behind him to calm down.

"Brother! You need to calm down!"

"Now is not the time for us to fight among ourselves. The important thing is to get rid of the Ming army behind us!"

"Brother! Calm down! As long as we are alive, we still have a chance for revenge!"

"Let's continue westwards, to the Crimean Khanate!"

"Brother! As long as we brothers join forces, we will definitely make a comeback!"

"..."

In the distance, the Ming army’s tent.

When Xu Chang discovered that Mahamu Khan and Ahama Khan had escaped again, he immediately ordered 3,000 light cavalry to speed up and chase the remnants of the two khans.

Upon receiving the order, the Three Thousand Battalion immediately exerted its full speed, gradually breaking away from the main army, going deep into the grassland, and chasing the remnants of the two Khans.

In the distance, as the Ming army was chasing them from behind, the two khans fled all the way westward, their speed no less than that of the Ming army.

At this moment, a new army suddenly appeared on the way the two Khans fled westward.

This army is not large in number, only about 5,000 people.

These people were also wearing Mongolian costumes and Ming-style armor, and the weapons in their hands were also Ming-style.

The only difference between these people and Ahem Khan's personal soldiers was that the Ming-style weapons and armor in their hands were very old, with rust on many parts, as if they had been used for decades.

The Ming-era weapons and armor worn by Ahem Khan's personal soldiers were all very new and looked like they had not been used for many years.

After seeing this large army, especially seeing that they were all wearing Mongolian costumes.

The tension in the hearts of Ahama Khan and Mahamu Khan finally eased.

Ahama Khan shouted loudly: "Friends! Relatives! We are descendants of the Golden Family!"

"We are being chased by the Ming army. If you help us get rid of the Ming army behind us, we will give you a lot of cattle and sheep, as well as a large grassland!"

"Friends! Clan members! Help us!"

Ahama Khan’s shouting made the three thousand troops behind him extremely anxious!
If this new army really wants to protect the two khans from escaping and come to stop them, then this matter will be difficult!
It's so urgent!

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

The soldiers of the Three Thousand Battalion desperately urged their mounts to increase their speed by one point!
At this time, the army in the distance finally took action.

They began to charge towards Ahama Khan!

Ahama Khan was overjoyed: "Thank you for your help, friend!"

"The Ming army is right behind us!"

"Just stop them for a while!"

The distance between the newly emerged army and the remnants of Ahama Khan and others was getting closer and closer!

After the two armies met, something strange happened!
The newly emerged army suddenly drew their sabers and slashed at the remnants of Ahama Khan's army!
In an instant, several people's heads fell to the ground.

The smile on Ahema Khan's face froze, and he was immediately furious: "How dare you!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

"Why?!"

"I have no hatred or grudge against your tribe, why are you trying to kill us?!"

The newly appeared army did not respond to Ahama Khan's roar. The leader swung his sword, and Ahama Khan's expression of anger with eyes wide open was frozen forever.

Ahama Khan, his head and body are separated!
"Sweat!"

Yalan and Said exclaimed at the same time and ran quickly towards Ahama Khan.

But in the blink of an eye, the two men also raised their heads high and blood splattered!

Yalan and Said, their bodies separated!
"what?!"

Mahamu Khan, who witnessed the death of Ahama Khan with his own eyes, was extremely horrified and immediately tried to turn around and escape.

But he had only run a few steps before he was caught up by the army and beheaded with a single blow!

A massacre begins!

The three thousand soldiers in the distant camp were shocked by this sudden change.

However, they did not slow down because of this. Instead, they continued to run quickly towards the remnants of Ahama Khan.

With the joint efforts of the Ming army and the newly emerged army, the remnants of Ahama Khan and Mahamu Khan were completely wiped out.

The Eastern Chagatai Khanate was destroyed!
The name of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate will completely disappear in the long river of history!
After the war, the leader of the new army picked up the heads of Ahama Khan and Mahamu Khan.

The general of the Three Thousand Battalion clasped his fists and said to him, "May I ask, brave warrior, which tribe are you from, and why are you so brave as to help us annihilate the remnants of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate?"

The man held the heads of the two khans and looked at the generals of the Three Thousand Camps. Instead of answering his question, he made a request.

"Take me to see your coach!"

The general of the Three Thousand Camp hesitated for a while, but when he thought of the great contribution this man had made, he finally nodded in agreement.

"Yes, but you can only enter the central army tent with us alone. Your people need to wait outside."

The man readily agreed: "It's natural."

So, this newly appeared army followed the 3,000-man battalion back to the Ming army's base. When they reached the outskirts of the Ming army's base, the leader of the newly appeared army ordered his people to dismount and wait outside.

He was alone, carrying the heads of two khans, and followed the 3,000-man battalion into the Ming army camp.

"Report!"

"Governor Xu! Good news!"

"Ahem Khan and Maham Khan were both beheaded!"

The generals of the Three Thousand Battalion walked into the central army tent and congratulated Xu Chang with a fist salute!

Upon hearing the news, a hint of joy flashed across Xu Chang's face.

"Really?! Give me your head!"

"Reporting to the Governor, it was not our army that annihilated the Tibetan tribes of Akhama Khan and Mahamu Khan, but a newly emerged Mongolian army."

"The leader of the Mongolian army is outside the tent right now, asking to see the governor."

"Oh? Is there anything else?"

Xu Chang looked suspicious, and after some consideration, he nodded: "Then let him in."

"I don't care whether he is a citizen of the Ming Dynasty or not. Since he has helped our army to annihilate the remnants of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, I will reward him as well!"

"Yes, Governor!"

With Xu Chang's order, the leader of the new army quickly walked into the central military tent.

After presenting the heads of the two khans to Xu Chang, he saluted respectfully.

"The current Khan of the Oirat tribe, Choros Boronahal, greets the Governor-General of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Wala tribe?!"

After hearing Boronahaler's self-introduction, Xu Chang couldn't help but frown.

"You are actually from the Wala tribe?!"

"What is your relationship with Yesen?!"

Boronahal said truthfully: "Yesen is my grandfather, and my father, Ashi Timur, is Yesen's second son."

Xu Chang looked at Boronahale, then at the two Khan's heads on the ground, and for a moment he felt it was a bit ridiculous.

"Bo...Bo Luo...Luo..."

Xu Chang had forgotten Boronahaler's name, so Boronahaler took the initiative to say, "Governor Xu, you can call me Borohan."

"Boluohan, why did your Wala tribe appear in the northwest?"

"Why did you help our Ming army to annihilate the two Khans of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate?"

Boluohan said seriously: "Since my grandfather was killed, other tribes of the Golden Family on the grassland have begun to besiege our Wala."

"My father had no choice but to take us all the way west, and we ended up living as nomads around here."

"As for why we had to kill these two Mongolian Khans..."

At this point, Boluohan straightened his chest and said solemnly: "Of course it is because our Wala tribe has been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations, starting from my grandfather Yesen!"

"Being loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations?"

Xu Chang raised his eyebrows with a strange expression.

The Oirat leader Yesen had even kidnapped Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen of the Ming Dynasty and taken him to the grasslands. How could it be said that the Oirat people had been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for generations? !
But now, this sensational thing has actually happened.

The heads of the two khans on the ground are examples.

Fortunately, Xu Chang was not interested in dwelling on this matter, and asked directly: "Boluohan, you led the team to kill Ahem Khan and Maham Khan, which is a great achievement."

"Tell me, what do you want the Ming Dynasty to reward you with?"

"Is it territory, cattle and sheep, or silver, or beautiful women?"

Boluohan shook his head, his eyes anxious: "I don't want any of these, I just hope that the Ming Dynasty can allow our Wala tribe to come to the capital to pay tribute every year!"

Tribute trade was one of the main forms of foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty.

This means that envoys from neighboring countries came to the Ming Dynasty with things from their countries and presented them as tribute to the Ming Emperor.

The Ming emperor would also give back a certain amount of silk, porcelain, tea, medicinal materials and other items to demonstrate the country's power.

Many people believe that the tribute trade was a unilateral loss for the Ming Dynasty, while all the benefits went to the tributary states.

But this statement is just as untenable as the fact that Zheng He's voyages to the West did not make money.

Since sailing to the West was not profitable, why would Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanji allow Zheng He to sail to the West seven times?
Since going to the West was not profitable, Zhu Di built the Forbidden City, the Grand Canal, conquered the northern desert and fought against Jiaozhi. Could it be that the landlords of the Ming Dynasty and the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River took the money?
Similarly, if tribute trade was not profitable, how could it have lasted from the Warring States Period to the Qing Dynasty?
All dynasties have been engaged in tribute trade. Are they just paying money to buy face?

In fact, the Ming Dynasty also made money from tribute trade, but the demand for goods from other countries was not as strong as the demand from other countries for Ming Dynasty products.

But Mongolian war horses were something the Ming Dynasty needed very much, so the Ming Dynasty's tribute trade was mostly conducted with the Mongolian tribes.

Being able to conduct tribute trade with the Ming Dynasty was the most urgent thing for the Mongolian tribes.

During the Zhengtong period, Oirat Yesen paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year.

This is something that makes the other tribes of the Golden Family jealous to the point that their eyes turn red and their teeth ache.

Zhu Qizhen's preference for Yesen is evident from this.

And Yesen did not let Zhu Qizhen's love go in vain. In the 12th year of Zhengtong alone, Yesen presented 4,176 Mongolian war horses, which were the most needed by the Ming Dynasty.

Now, this desire to pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year was once again raised by Yesen's grandson, Boluohan.
