The Baiyin tribe came with great momentum and retreated in disgrace.
Back at the big tent, the boasting at noon has not gone away, and now I feel really embarrassed.
Alabayan almost died of pain. One hundred and fifty of his five hundred soldiers died.
When we came back and counted the number of people, we found that out of the 2,500 people, only over 1,900 had returned. At least 500 people had been lost, which is not a small loss.
Irgen ignored the livid Alabayan, but sat in front of the table at the head and fell into deep thought.
The Mongols believe in ghosts and gods, but this does not mean that they are ignorant. On the contrary, they are very smart. How could they have invaded Europe and conquered almost the entire Eurasian continent if they were not smart?
After calming down at this time, he began to feel that something was wrong. If that small tribe really knew witchcraft and could control the wind and rain, they would have used it when he robbed their lifeline, which was this pasture, and they would not have waited until now to be at the end of their rope.
Only then did it come out.
"Something is wrong. There is something in the river. That thing caused our warriors to drown in the river. Who goes to see what it is?" Irgen stared at his tawny eyes and asked.
All the centurions and the two centurions below took a step back almost reflexively. As a result, the unlucky Alsleng was exposed.
Alsileng is not doing well here. He suffers because he is too upright. Without these guys, there is no bottom line.
"Ah! My warrior, the warrior given to me by the immortal god, Alslen, you are always so brave, and you are always so willing to risk your life for the cause of the lord." Irgentaiji pretended to shed a few tears, and said
He gave Alslen a hug in front of him.
Alsileng smiled bitterly. It was the same scene every time. He didn't know how many things he had done for Irgentaiji that no one was willing to do, but he paid the most and got the least. The loss of his own troops was
Will not be compensated.
There were only a hundred and fifty soldiers left out of one hundred and fifty.
"Dear Taiji, I'm going to see what's going on tonight," Alslen had no choice but to say.
The Mongols in this big tent were all frightened. Of the twenty-five centurions, only fourteen came back. Eleven of them were shot to death. Now everyone is talking about the change in the color of the river.
They were all muttering that there were evil spirits in the river.
When Alslen returned home, his wife Qiqige had already stewed mutton and was ready to reward her husband who was away on war.
"I heard that Taiji lost the battle today. He didn't vent his anger on you, right?" Qiqige said worriedly.
"There is a river there. More than five hundred people died today. Everyone is scared to death. Taiji asked me to go explore the river tonight and see what's going on." Alslen said with a wry smile. "Immediately.
It's getting dark. I'll leave as soon as I finish eating. You and the child go to bed first, don't wait for me."
Qi Qige secretly wept. She was Fujin's maid. After Fujin married here, Fujin married her to Alslen, the captain of the guard. In addition to serving Fujin every day, she also took care of her husband and children. Currently, Fujin's
He knows the situation better than anyone else.
The relationship between the Torgut tribe and Lin Dan Khan was very bad, and Taiji was at both ends of the spectrum. One moment he was flattering Lin Dan Khan, and the other moment he was flirting with the Qing Dynasty. He married Fujin in order to stabilize the west.
Today's Mongolia is no longer the great empire it once was, and is divided into three parts. The north of the desert is called Mobei Mongolia. It is the territory of the Khalkha Mongolian tribes.
It is named after it is distributed in the Khalkha River (Halakha River). Its predecessor was the Zhala Yier tribe (a Shiwei-Tatar tribe that moved westward earlier).
At the end of the 15th century, after Batu Mengke (Dayan Khan), the 15th grandson of Emperor Taizu of the Yuan Dynasty, unified eastern Mongolia, he merged the originally separate large and small territories of Monan and Mobei into 60,000 households, divided into left and right wings.
Ten thousand households in Khalkha belong to the left wing, with a total of twelve tribes.
The five inner tribes lived east of the Khalkha River, and Batu Mengke granted the title to his fifth son Arthubrot.
The Seven Outer Tribes lived in the west of Hexi Province and granted the title of Ge'ao Sen Zha Zha Lai'er Huitaiji to their youngest son.
It was probably the upper reaches of the Nenjiang River in Heilongjiang in eastern Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia today.
Nowadays, the seven tribes of Outer Khalkha and Lin Dan Khan sometimes united and sometimes rebelled. Later, they were repeatedly attacked and ravaged by Lin Dan Khan and the Qing Dynasty and were eliminated. The tribes were incorporated.
The Desert Mongolia is the Oirat Mongolia, the core tribe is the Junggar tribe, and the royal court is in the Ili Valley of Xinjiang. This is when the Junggar tribe became stronger. By the time of Kangxi, it had the strength to compete with the Qing Dynasty.
Monan Mongolia is today's Inner Mongolia region. The core tribe is the Chahar tribe of Lin Dan Khan, also called the Chahan tribe. The capital is King Kong White City.
From west to east, the largest tribal groups are the Ordos Tribe, the Tumut Tribe, the Duoyan Tribe, the Thirty-six Haraqin Tribes, the Chahar Tribe, the Horqin Tribe, the Nenhorqin Tribe, and the Outer Khalkha Tribe.
The Ordos tribe's territory is in the Hetao area north of the Great Wall. From Jiayuguan to Yulin Town, we are on guard against them. They mainly threaten and invade the Shaanxi-Gansu area. Among the nine important towns in the Ming Dynasty, Gansu Town, Shaanxi Town, Yansui Town, and Ningxia Town
The other four towns were all set up to defend against them.
The territory of the Tumut Tribe is in the north of Shanxi and Shaanxi. Bounded by the Yellow River, the Tumut Tribe is in Hebei and the Ordos Tribe is in Henan. Their core city is Guihua City (today's Hohhot). They are powerful and mainly threaten Shanxi and
Northern Hebei.
Shaanxi Town, Datong Town, and Xuanfu Town are to defend against them.
Because the Duoyan tribes have been dispersed, thirty-six large tribes have been formed. Their territory extends from Zhangjiakou eastward to Nurulhu Mountain on the west side of the Liaoxi Corridor. This mountain and Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty are
boundary. Among them, the Haraqin tribe located on the west side of the mountain is one of the three most powerful tribes.
Continuing to the north, the middle and upper reaches of the Liao River Basin are the most powerful pastoral lands of the Chahar tribe, which is the territory directly under Lin Dan Khan.
At this time, Chahar reaches western Liaoning in the south and Nenjiang River in the north. It covers a vast area and mainly threatens Liaodong.
Further north are the Horqin and Nenhorqin tribes, and the farthest north are the seven Outer Khalkha tribes.
This is the power of all the Mongols outside the Ming Dynasty's border wall.
Therefore, the Tumut tribe is to the west of Duoyan, the Haraqin tribe is to the east, and in the middle, to the north of Ji Town, are thirty-six large and small broken forces.
Because Ji Town protects the capital, the capital is relatively safe because there are no big forces in the north.
Qiqige couldn't help crying when she saw that her husband had been assigned a dangerous mission that no one wanted to go on. She was very worried that one day her husband would never come back and she would be assigned to another man by Taiji.
Without Alsleng, Taiji can annex the elite Torgut soldiers that they have long coveted.
Watching her husband finish his meal and ride away alone, at that moment she couldn't bear it any longer, holding on to the door frame of the felt bag, and burst into tears.
