Chapter 5: Guards at Sticky Rod

 Danba gave the banner owners ten days to gather in the flag and rushed to Hatu Ulya Sutaikaren, where the Chua River Pass. The Mongolian Plateau is vast and sparsely populated. The ten days are short, but it is definitely not long. After the meeting, everyone dared not stop for a moment and rushed back immediately.

However, the Sengge of the Junggar Banner seemed a little absent-minded, and he still walked back at the usual speed.

His residence is in Ogel (Augel County, Mongolia later), and it is said that it is a bit far away from Uriegee. If it is at this speed, it will take at least two days to arrive. With the time to gather in the flag group, ten days are already very tight.

But he still rushed to Ogle slowly.

His son Solhan came with him and saw this and asked, "Father, why don't we speed up?"

Sengge glanced at him and asked, "I brought you here this time to help you expand your experiences. I wonder what you have gained?"

Like his father, Solhan is also tall and tall, and has already received the title of "Altan Burigede" in the Great Lake Basin. Altan refers to Mount Altai (Artai Mountain). The locals also call Sayan Mountain Altai Mountain, which means an eagle.

Such a person, according to the rules of the Qing Dynasty, must have Beijing serve as the emperor's guard, just like the counselor Danba, with outstanding appearance, once he is attracted by the royal daughter, he may also get a Gulun prince.

But Sengge obviously had no such intention and kept him by his side.

Solhan replied: "Father, what you said is obviously right. The people of the Seven Banners do not have much knowledge. They have been living under the power of Manchu for a long time. Manchus do whatever they say and never dares to resist."

"At today's meeting, my father's words were like a stone to stir up a thousand waves. Although my father finally compromised, those words must have taken root in their minds."

"Although they have been a little rich and prosperous over the years, they have to live in Beijing for three months each year. In addition to the time they travel back and forth on the road, they are actually not in the district for half of their time."

"Over time, they got used to all this. After seeing the magnificence and prosperity of Beijing, they dared not do anything more, and they probably never thought about it."

"But who is Danba? He became a counselor at such an age. It was not just because he was a Manchu Tabuang, but because he had real talent and knowledge. It is said that when he was a guard in the capital, he was known for his bravery. When he followed the Emperor Qiu Feng, he shot and killed a tiger alone. He was praised as Batulu on the spot and was rewarded with a yellow jacket"

"If he hadn't been Borjijin, he would have long become Gulun's prince. However, although he is known for his courage, he has always held a position of official position in the guard group. He must have been both civil and military, otherwise he would not have given him the important position of the counselor and minister"

"Oh?" Sengge glanced at his son with satisfaction, his eyes full of relief.

"How could such a person declare war on the Rakshasa Kingdom for hundreds of herders to leave the Qing Dynasty? On the surface, he wanted to eliminate General Ulya Sutai before he learned the news, but this matter was very large and there was no airtight wall. He did this completely inconsistent with his previous style"

"Continue talking"

"Father, since the flag was established, in addition to the tribes that we joined at the beginning, there have been many tribes secretly coming. The total number of herders has long exceeded one thousand households, and this is one of them"

"Secondly, our country occupies the eastern exit of the Baktalma River. If the Truchens want to arrive in Khalkha, they must pass through our department. Although the counselor has a tax officer in our department, our department occupies a large area, and the near the mountain pass is extremely cold. The tax officer is not resistant to the cold and has to set up the site in Ogel"

"In this way, a large number of items actually came in as tax-free. I don't know about others, but the people of our department actually took a huge advantage, and only a part of the items entered the Ogel field"

"Third, when my father took the Huit herders into Khalkha along the Baktalma River Valley, it was about to end the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the four tribes of Weilat followed Amursana, some followed the Qing people, and some did not help each other"

"Because the Truqins killed Amursana, in fact, those who were willing to follow them were the Turkuts who remained in the Junggar land and the tribes that were massacred by the Qing army"

"At that time, the land of Khalkha was relatively safe, and it was understandable that some herders were willing to venture through the dangerous Baktalma River Valley to get there"

"So, at the beginning, the Qing people did not really identify the true or false. Later, the Qing and Te countries continued to get into evil, and the Qing countries were increasingly at a disadvantage. It seemed that their every move was expected by the Truqins. Only then did the Qing people realize what they realized"

"But many years have passed since that war. A large number of herders who fled from Junggar have taken root in Khalkha, and some have even entered the flag. There has been no mistake in these years, so the Qing people temporarily put it down."

"According to the rules, the Manchus will generally be the general. There are two counselors, one Manchus and one Mongols, but the current generals are Mongols, and the two counselors are also Mongols, which has never been seen in many years."

"On the surface, it seems that Manchus trust the Mongolians, so-called Manchus and Mongolians, but in fact?"

"Good boy, I took such a huge risk to make you go to study in another place and really didn't disappoint my intentions. Then let me ask you, what did you find?"

"Father, it is obvious that General Ulya Sutai has set his sights on his father. In addition to the so-called "filling personal pockets" in the pastoral area, it is more because the pastoral area is close to Truqin, and the living conditions of the herdsmen in Truqin's pastoral area are much better than us. The Qing people were very worried that the banner owners like you will be attracted by them."

"In addition to our flag, there are naturally herders and flag owners near Tianshan Mountains"

"Although we have kept the number of herders and trade volumes in private, although we have been strict with each other, there are more than a thousand herders and thousands of people, and there are always people who can't help but tempt or coercion. The child probably has found out what the Qing people have been preparing to attack his father"

Sengge shook his head, "We are not the only one who has privately hidden population and trade volume, but almost all the banner owners will do this."

"Then..."

"In addition to Danbadorji, there is another person who is very important in the alliance meeting"

"Danba's escort Hardawu?"

"Yes, he was also one of the people who went to Beijing to work as a guard with Danba and Rawang. He was a Soren, who was extremely brave. Of course, most Sorens were very brave, and there was nothing special about it."

"I thought so before, but I recently got a message that changed my opinion"

"The Qing emperor also had a secret agency called the Stick Pole. On the surface, it was the guard who drove away the willless cicada insects when the emperor took a nap. In fact, it was a special agency dedicated to inquire about the emperor and clear away dissidents."

"The news is that Hardawu is nominally just a guard of the prince, but in fact he is the guard at the stick and the leader of the entire Khalkha!"

"What's there?"

"You are still too young. Such people appear in Khalkha and have already figured out the details of each flag"

"So we are really exposed?"
