The nine hundred and fortieth chapter is to stay or escape

Although the Mongolian grasslands were vast, the news spread very quickly. When Zhu Hongsanyi left Zhangjiakou, the Korqin Right Wing Central Banner, which was thousands of miles away, was the later Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia. Wu Keshan, Prince of Korqin Zhuoliketu, received the news that the Ming Dynasty emperor Zhu Hongsan, who caused heavy losses to the Korqin tribe, was finally going to attack the Mongolian tribes.

Wu Keshan, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, knew very well. When Wu Keshan responded to the call of his sister and son-in-law Shunzhi, he ordered his son to lead 200,000 Mongolian coalition forces into the pass, but he would not have been killed in the battle in Nanchang. In the Northern Expedition a few years later, Wu Keshan lost all his capital. If it weren't for the great family and the large number of small tribes, the Korqin tribe would have become a second-rate tribe on the grassland.

When the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, Wu Keshan's cheap son-in-law Shunzhi fled to the Korqin tribe. Wu Keshan had already made up his plan. If he didn't work, he would take his subordinates to flee north, and the farther away from the Central Plains dynasty, the better.

But just when Wu Keshan was about to escape, the Ming government sent an envoy to explain in detail the intention of the Ming government, which was to be friendly with Mongolia and prepare for jointly developing the Mongolian grassland. Of course, Wu Keshan was not a time traveler in later generations and did not know the hypocrites of the Celestial Empire in later generations, so Wu Keshan learned that the Ming Dynasty was not going to put down his heart after using military force. After all, fleeing north was a way, but the northern desert was very cold, and there was a comfortable life in the southern desert.

Zhu Hongsan's policy of making friends with the Korqin tribe without prior grudges was very consistent, because although the Korqin tribe suffered heavy losses in the pass, the airs were still there, and Mongolia was not in the pass, so Zhu Hongsan was not in the pass at that time to fight with others at the doorstep of Mongolia. In addition to these, the most important thing was that Zhu Hongsan was sending Zhao Guodong to recover Liaodong. You should know that the Korqin tribe's headquarters was in the Baicheng, Tongliao and Changchun areas of later generations. The entire flanks of the northeast were exposed to the threat of Korqin. If Wu Keshan wanted to cause some trouble for Zhu Hongsan, it would be much more difficult to recover the Northeast.

However, the Mongols had passed their most prosperous golden age, and the entire tribe no longer had the innocence of Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan. Although Wu Keshan was a sensible person in the Korchin tribe, he was just a person who was willing to make progress as he was concerned. Therefore, after obtaining the security guarantee of the Ming emperor, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​escaping, and at the same time watched the Ming army recover the Northeast by his side.

Wu Keshan was friendly with neighbors and friendly in the Ming Dynasty, but his fancy son-in-law Shunzhi didn't think so. Although Shunzhi was not as good as his father and grandparents, he was also a wise monarch. Shunzhi and Zhu Hongsan had fought for many years, so he naturally knew what contracts he had. He guaranteed that in the eyes of any bastard emperor, he would take them out and use them when they were useful, and throw them into the toilet when they were useless. Shunzhi suffered too many losses on Zhu Hongsan.

But Shunzhi is now in refuge, with less than 200 people under his command. Can this strength convince Wu Keshan to change his mind? There is no way Shunzhi had to live in Korqin, preparing for the opportunity to make a comeback.

The development of the situation is similar to Shunzhi's estimate. After Zhu Hongsan stabilized the Northeast, the domestic economy was also restored. He finally extended a sinful hand to the Mongolian grassland eight years later. Of course, this was Shunzhi's idea. In Zhu Hongsan's view, it was to join forces with the Mongolian tribes to develop the Mongolian grasslands, opening a good start for the great integration of the Han and Mongolian ethnic groups.

No matter what Shunzhi thought, Wu Keshan was indeed panicked after learning that the Ming emperor led an army of 150,000 into the Mongolian grasslands. In Nanchang, Zhu Hongsan used more than 20,000 people to defeat 200,000 Mongolian cavalry. Now, 150,000 Korqin tribes are still alive?

Of course, Zhu Hongsan did nothing. After leaving Zhangjiakou, Zhu Hongsan immediately sent an envoy to send a letter to Wu Keshan. The letter was written as Zhu Hongsan's cheap wife Meng Guqing. It was very simple, it was to say the purpose of Zhu Hongsan coming.

The content of the letter is very simple. The general meaning is that the enemy of your Golden Family is coming, that is Weilat Mongolia. These guys are not on the same journey with your Golden Family. For more than 300 years, you have been chasing each other and beaten them. Several of them have changed their hometowns. But don’t be afraid now. The Ming Dynasty has become a father-in-law and son-in-law with Korqin. Now that the father-in-law is in trouble, the son-in-law of the son-in-law will naturally reach out to rescue him. This time, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty personally brought the army to serve as a support for his father-in-law.

After seeing this letter, Wu Keshan, who was about to escape, he hesitated again. Wei Lat Mongolia knew very well. Now the troops of the Junggar Khanate had already passed Hangai Mountain, and a thousand miles further forward would reach the sphere of influence of Korqin. These Junggar mud legs are different from the Han people. The Han people only need a name. You can surrender to the central dynasty. The Han people don’t want your pastures and cattle and sheep. But the Junggar mud legs are different. In addition to asking for your property, they also take your life.

After reading the letter, Wu Keshan was not sure of his decision, so he had no choice but to summon all the nobles in the tribe to discuss matters and discuss what to do next.

The right wing of Korqin is divided into four tribes. In addition to Wu Keshan, the largest one, there are three small tribes controlled by Wu Keshan's three younger brothers. After receiving the notice from his brother, these three younger brothers immediately brought people to Wu Keshan's residence Chuoerman City.

In addition to the four brothers of Wu Keshan, there were also Wu Keshan's three sons, among which Wu Keshan's favorite third son, Biertahar, spoke first.

"Father, uncles Wang, and a few brothers. Today, the father summoned everyone to discuss how to face the Ming army. Now the Ming emperor brought an army of 150,000 to conquer our Korqin. Although he said he would help us resist the attack of Junggar, the Han people had many tricks. Everyone knows that the father was worried that the main target of the Ming emperor was us, so he was preparing to move north. Uncle Wang would see how it is?"

Wu Keshan's second brother Chahan is an inaction-free Beile. He has no idea, mainly to see Wu Keshan's meaning. He looked at his elder brother Wu Keshan and said, "What does big brother mean? I have no objection. I will do whatever my elder brother says!"

Wu Keshan looked at everyone and said, "I can't make up my mind either. My daughter Meng Guqing is the concubine of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. She wrote to explain that the Emperor of the Dynasty is really here to help the war, so I don't worry!"

Biertahar's wife was Shunzhi's fourth sister, so she naturally spoke to Shunzhi. Biertahar said: "Father, my son doesn't think so. We have a deep feud with the Ming emperor. Can that emperor let us go easily? So my son thought it would be better to move north!"

Wu Keshan's fourth brother is Manzhu Xili. He stood up and said, "Brother, brother, brother, I feel that we should not move northward! After ten years of war in the pass, we have suffered a lot of losses. In the past ten years of cultivation, what should we do if those women and children move northward? What should we do if the newborn cattle and sheep are? And brother, Junggar is less than a thousand miles away from us now, where can we go? You must know that the princes in Mobei are the mud-legged guards of Rat!"

Man Zhu Xili was right. The distant ancestors of Mobei Mongolia were nomadic tribes of Tatar, Wengjila, Merqi, Oyila, Kelie, Naiman, and Wanggu. Many of these tribes were still in feudal with Temujin at that time, and only surrendered to Mongolia after Temujin unified Mongolia. Therefore, Mobei Mongolia has always been apart from the Mongolian powers and nobles. At the same time, because they did not belong to the Golden Family, they have a good relationship with Nilu Ziwei Lat Mongolia.

Now the three major tribes that rule the northern Mongolians of the desert are Zasaktu Khan, Tushetu Khan, and Chechen Khan. After the Korchin tribe goes, they will definitely invade the inherent forces of these three tribes, so it is better not to move north unless it is absolutely necessary.

When Biertahar heard Manzhu Xili's objection, he quickly persuaded: "Second Uncle, although the North Riding has suffered a lot, it is still a way out after all. If the Ming emperor stays, can we let us go? Fourth Uncle Don't forget who your prince was granted, and how did the fourth uncle's son Du Du die!"

Manzhu Xili's first wife was Yue Tuo's daughter. At the same time, because of her outstanding military achievements, she was named Prince of Darhambatulu by the Qing Dynasty. As mentioned by Biertahar, Du Du was the second son of Manzhu Xili. She followed the Qing Dynasty into the pass and died in the battlefield in Nanchang.

Man Zhu Xili heard Biertahar say this and said angrily: "No need to say, I naturally know how my second son died. Although I have blood feuds with the Ming Dynasty, don't forget that I am still the leader of the tribe. Brother, you are the prince of Korqin. You have more than 100,000 people and tens of thousands of cavalry under your jurisdiction. These people will go through fire and water because of your order. But as the Khan of the tribe, you must also consider these people. Could it be that the entire tribe will die in Mobei for some personal blood feuds?"

"There is another point. My brother only remembers that the Ming Dynasty had a grudge with us. Have you forgotten that the Junggar was the biggest trouble of the Ming Dynasty? I heard that the Sengge Khan of Junggar had occupied all of Qinghai, a part of Tibet, and the southernmost part of Tibet, was about to enter the heartland of the Central Plains. For the Ming Dynasty, this was a big trouble, so I guess that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty came this time, as he said, to jointly deal with Junggar! Isn't the elder brother still obsessed with the Korqin Khan? This time, if the elder brother raised his arms to deal with his common enemy, Junggar, then Badali would not dare to compete with his elder brother for the throne of Korqin Khan no matter what!"

Manzhu said this, Wu Keshan was in his heart. Korqin was divided into four divisions. Wu Keshan was only the Khan of one division. Korqin Khan was Badali. If he took this opportunity to propose to join the Mongolian tribes to deal with the Junggar, his reputation would be above Badali. Can this Korqin Khan be done by himself?
