In the Battle of Burqin, the Galdan army suffered a disastrous defeat, and when they returned to Boxeri, their morale was low.
In this time and space, he faced a great threat from the ambitious Emperor Guangwu of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he did not move his troops to Kara Irtysh to recuperate as in history, but quickly reorganized his troops and prepared to fight again.<
/p>
He had to get rid of his close confidant, his uncle Chuhu'er Ubas, before the Ming army intervened. However, under the new defeat, he was short of money and wages, and his morale was low. He felt uncertain about launching a new offensive. "Minihu (my son), what are you thinking about? Why are you frowning?" Seeing that her son was unhappy, the old mother Yumhagas asked.
"Ehe (mother), my son wants to attack the rebels again, but there is a lack of food and pay, and morale is not high. It's difficult!"
Yumhargas, a woman who is not inferior to men, said loudly: "Is it possible to do great things without encountering difficulties? Back then, the ancestor of our Choros family also suffered from internal and external troubles when he first succeeded to the throne, but he overcame all difficulties and unified the Varas.
He also conquered Qierjisi, Hami, Shazhou, Handong, Chijin, and Wuliangha three guards, threatened North Korea to the east, captured the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to the south, and surrounded Beijing. Your father Batur, your father, Batur,
Brothers and sisters, who is not facing difficulties and forging ahead with determination? You should inherit the aspirations of your ancestors, how can you be passive and decadent?"
Hearing his mother mention the deeds of his ancestors and his father and brother, young Galdan couldn't help but get excited, "Hey, I made a mistake, I shouldn't worry about a small difficulty."
Youmhagas nodded, "Ehe still has some savings here, you can use them as military pay. As for morale, as long as you treat your subordinates well, morale will naturally be restored."
A message came out in Boxeri City: Huitai Jigaldan ordered that anyone who brings back Boluote's body will be rewarded with a thousand gold coins.
Borut is Batur, a veteran minister from the Sengge era and loyal. After Sengge was assassinated, he was the first to take the risk and go to Kara Erqis to report the news to Yumhagas;
During the battle, he fought desperately to cover Galdan's retreat and died tragically in the rebel army.
But the person was dead after all. For a corpse, Huitaiji was willing to pay thousands of gold, which still caused a sensation in the whole city.
Some brave souls sneaked back to Burqin to search, and actually found the remains of Boluo Te. Galdan kept his promise and immediately rewarded him with a thousand gold coins.
He held a solemn funeral for Borat.
Driving a car with the horse that Borat liked during his lifetime, transport the body, drive the car to the wild, build a wooden house where the horse stopped, put the body inside, and surround it with a three-layer grass and wood fence.
The horse driving the car was killed next to him as a memorial to Borat. Then, the body was scrubbed clean with clean water, wrapped in white cloth, and buried in a coffin. It was parked under the eaves on the west side of the main house, and sacrificial food was placed in front of the body.
Light Buddha lamps and incense, ask the master to chant sutras, and use antelope horns to dig a hole in the ground. The body is left for three days. Galdan personally keeps vigil, mourns at regular intervals, and chooses an auspicious time to rise. The coffin is carried to the hole and filled with firewood.
Cremation.
This kind of cremation became popular after Buddhism was introduced to Moxi. It was mostly used by Mongolian nobles. Ordinary Mongolian civilians still use sky burial (Ming burial).
Galdan read the memorial inscription for this veteran with tears in his eyes:
Returned to the embrace of Changshengtian,
An old minister who assisted three monarchs.
Combining loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness,
Treat fame and wealth,
Obscurity.
The pride of Junggar people,
Bolot.
The bravery of fighting,
Loyalty of character,
The plan is far-reaching,
Blood loyalty.
A warrior with unparalleled loyalty
The name is Borat Hero.
Born under the mission of Changshengtian,
Leave a good name forever??
When the news spread, Batur and the veterans from the Sengge era were all moved; the newly attached generals were also inexplicably excited.
Huitai Jirenyi!
Galdan's good reputation for attaching great importance to love and justice spread quickly, and the low morale became high again.
After reorganizing the army, Galdan quickly launched the second campaign against Chuhu'er Ubas.
This time he did not bring too many troops, but only selected eight thousand fine cavalry.
??
If you don't kill a snake, you will be bitten by it. The wily Chuhu'er Ubas naturally knew this truth. After the victory in the Battle of Burqin, he was ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue and attack the city of Boxeri.
But the news that came later shocked him: the Ming army entered the Khovd area and surrendered the local Dulbert tribe, Huite tribe, and Heshuote tribe.
As for other tribes, the Durbot tribe is the same clan as the Junggar tribe. At that time, the eldest son of the Choros family ancestors also formed the Durbot tribe, and the younger son's line formed the Junggar tribe. The two
The tribe has always been in the same spirit, advancing and retreating together.
The Ming Dynasty killed my relatives, what did they want to do?
Although the Ming army is still restrained at present, it stopped at the border of Durbot, Huite and Junggar. The Mongolian governor of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Bangyan, even wrote a letter full of "goodwill" to Chuhu'er Ubas,
Tell him that as long as he submits to the Ming Dynasty, he can be supported to become the Lord of Junggar. But Chuhu'er Ubas, who has experienced many things, will naturally not be confused by a mere letter.
While he sent an envoy to Chen Bangyan to express his willingness to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, he hurriedly led the main force back to his hometown of Altay. There was no other way, the Ming army had already approached his hometown, like a steel knife on his neck, he couldn't do it if he didn't watch out.<
/p>
At this time, he no longer cared about pursuing Galdan. Fortunately, his nephew was newly defeated and was unable to attack him in the short term. He left his second son, Hababandi, to lead 3,000 elite troops to guard Burqin City, and then returned to Altay.
??
Burqin is a small multi-ethnic city, with Kazakhs accounting for half of the population, followed by Hans, Mongolians, Hui and other ethnic groups.
Cities with many ethnic groups often have prosperous trade, and Burqin is a shopping city.
Since Hababandi was stationed here, he has made a lot of money by collecting taxes from the passing caravans. What? He is not afraid of Galdan coming back? Galdan has just suffered a big defeat and will not rest for a year or two.
, how can you have the ability to violate the situation? This is what Hababandi thinks.
"He Shuoqi, another large caravan has arrived outside the west gate," the subordinates came to report.
When I looked through the telescope, I saw that it was indeed a large caravan, with hundreds of packhorses alone.
"Open the city gate and tell them that if they want to live forever, they must hand over one-tenth of the goods." Hababandi smiled slightly. This is not a caravan, it is clearly the God of Wealth.
The sergeants opened the city gate, pretended to search it, and then began to value the goods and collect taxes.
As a general, naturally there is no need to do things like tax collection personally. Hababandi sat on the top of the city, drinking brick tea comfortably and watching leisurely.
Ma Guotou nodded and bowed and asked the grooms to unload the baggage and boxes from the pack horses for the sergeants to inspect.
Suddenly, Hababandi's eyes widened. He saw a sergeant bending down to inspect. Ma Guotou suddenly took out a knife from the bottom of the box. The knife flashed and the sergeant's head rolled down.
"No, enemy~"
Before the word "attack" could be shouted out, a horseman pulled out a bow like a magic trick and shot his forehead with just one arrow.
"Danzila the Condor Shooter is here," the dark and muscular horseman shouted. With this sound, the caravan opened the west city gate, and Galdan's men who were ambushing outside the city roared in.
Burqin City, which was previously indestructible, was easily captured.
