In the middle of the Kent Mountains, there is a large river that collects streams from there. After the snow water flows down to the south, it is affected by the plateau terrain for nearly three hundred miles and then winds eastward. After flowing for more than two thousand miles, it flows into Hulun Lake. Due to the river water

After long-term erosion, a river valley about two thousand miles long and sixty or seventy miles wide was formed along the way.

Excellent pasture grows at both ends of the river valley, which has always been a battleground for the Mobei nomads.

Kherulun River, one of the most important rivers in Khalkha.

On the north bank of the middle and upper reaches of the Kerulen River, there are a large number of white tents lined up in rows. Among them, there is another huge tent that stands out from the crowd. The tent is completely white, with a circle of gold thread on the edge, and a cluster of red tassels hanging from the top tip of the tent.

Outside the big tent, there was a crowd of people. As the long horns in the hands of ten strong men blew, everyone outside knelt down.

At this time, if the people kneeling on the ground were careful, they would know that large livestock must have been slaughtered near the tent in recent days, and there was still a faint smell of blood.

Yes, just three days ago, a heaven-sacrifice ceremony presided over by a great shaman was held here. A green bull and a white horse were killed to offer sacrifices to the Immortal Heaven, ancestors Ge Yasen Zha, Klulen River, and Kent Mountain.

Naturally, these rituals cannot be seen by Jebtsundamba.

Three days later, Zhasak Tuhan Subadi from West Khalkha, Tushetu Khan Gonbu from Central Khalkha, and Hutaijiombu Erdeni from Tohuite tribe came to Khalkha.

The great Dharma king Jebtsundam Badaranatha, who was preaching in Kagar, arrived together.

So another ceremony presided over by Jebzundamba took place in the big tent.

In addition to the above-mentioned distinguished guests, Taiji Boluot of the Hochit tribe, Taiji Dorji of the Ujimqin tribe, Taiji Tenjis of the Sunit tribe, and Taiji Dorji of the Abaga tribe came from Monan.

, Abaganaer’s Taijidong Israb is also among them.

Such a grand ceremony is naturally indispensable for the owner of this place, Shuolei. Today he is wearing a Mongolian hat with red tassels and a golden Mongolian robe, and his face is also beaming with joy.

After Jebtsundamba finished casting his spell according to the etiquette of Tibetan Buddhism, another great khan was added to the Mongolian area of ​​Khalkha - "Shadai Mahasamadhi Chechen Khan" (hereinafter referred to as Chechen Khan).

Not long after, gongs, drums and trombones sounded loudly around the big tent, and a group of Mongolian youths began to sing and dance around the big tent.

One day later, Jebtsundamba was again giving lectures here, and all the great and small Taijis from East Khalkha came over. It was really a peaceful scene.

After waiting for three days, Jebzundamba moved to the large tent specially prepared for him by the Chechen Khan, Chechen Khan, Zhasaktu Khan, Tushetu Khan, Ombu Erdeni Hutaiji and Chechen Khan Shuolei.

His three sons began to discuss matters in this big tent.

During the discussion, there were dense security guards within a hundred steps of the big tent. No casual observers were allowed to approach at will, otherwise they would be killed without mercy.

Compared with history, Shuolei could not help but ascend to the throne of Khan a year earlier, and also invited Zasaktu Khan, Tushetu Khan, and Tuohitebu Huitaiji. The glory is very different.

.

However, at this time, the Chechen Khan changed his joyful expression from the previous few days, and his broad face turned red. If there were not three big shots here, he would definitely whip his three sons personally.

Naturally, Yiletu, Erke, and Babu had no seats in front of the great khans. They all knelt in the middle of the tent, trembling with their heads on the ground, waiting for their father's fate.

After the three of them finished talking about the war in Urhit, Shuolei said: "So Ubashi's army was completely wiped out? He himself was also captured?"

Elden whispered: "Abu, my second brother and I marched along the Onen River, and we did not see any sign of our third brother."

Babu could only follow and said: "Abu, when I led the army to Urhit, there was no one there. It didn't take long before we engaged the barbarian army. However, judging from the situation where the barbarian army drove the third brother's men to charge into the formation,

, the third brother is probably..."

(Abu means Mongolian father)

"What about Wu Litu and Harn? They and Lao San have always been inseparable from each other, and Meng Bujiao has always been inseparable. Could it be that they are not involved in this battle together?"

At this time, Gunbu spoke, "Since we can't know the whereabouts of Santaiji, why not send someone to the north bank to find out the whereabouts of Ubashi and others, and also to find out what the thief said?"

Only then did Shuolei cast his angry eyes at Gunbu, "Yes, it's my uncle who was in a hurry. My nephew has fought against that guy, what's your experience?"

Shuolei is the great-great-grandson of Gyasenzha, the founder of the Khalkha Mongolia. Gonbu, Subadi, and Ombu Erdeni are the great-great-grandsons of Gyasenzha. If he had not been a khan before, he would have been treated

These three people must be polite, and a "big sweat" and "huitaiji" are indispensable, but now that they are all sweating, there is no need to be so polite.

As for the Hutai Ji of the Tuohite tribe, he also came from the line of the eldest son of Ge Yasenzha, and controlled a very wide territory. In the past, his line was the master of the Oirat (Wara) Mongols. Therefore, he has successively served as the title of Hutai Ji.

The leader was still Zasaktu Khan, who was actually almost the same as the Great Khan.

The Russians called Hutaiji of this tribe Altan Khan, which means Golden Khan.

Gunbu couldn't help but feel nervous when he heard the word "nephew", and then he cursed secretly: "Not long ago, when he wrote to me, he addressed me as the Great Khan, and he did not hesitate to kowtow in order to be called Khan. In a few days, he became a good nephew.

I am only three years younger than you."

His face was full of joy, "Uncle Khan, I was careless last time. I traveled a long way to Barriaga. Instead of quickly taking down the barbarian's wooden stronghold, I went deep into the river valley to harm ordinary herdsmen, so as to provide timely reinforcements for the barbarian bandits."

He arrived and created an opportunity, but..."

"But what?" Subadi and Omubu had never fought against Nikan, but they felt quite unhappy when they saw the descendants of the Golden Family being bullied by the "barbarians" in the forest.

"I don't know what the background of the new barbarian Bogra Khan Nikan is, but he is actually good at making firearms. When they fight, no matter whether they are on foot or on cavalry, they start with firecrackers and cannons to clear the way. People in Mobei have not seen them for many years.

When we arrived at this thing, under the roar, everyone was frightened, and it was impossible to regroup and fight."

"Besides, our warriors are quite capable, but unfortunately, some of the Buryats are really worried. In the end, even though we have two thousand elite troops, we can't support ourselves alone, so..."

"So, if you want to defeat the Sauron barbarian, you must have firearms to compete with him?"

Gunbu's eyes changed a few times, "That's not necessarily true. The barbarian thieves have a cavalry full of spears. They are indeed brave and good at fighting. They are not inferior to those firearms. Firearms mainly affect horses. If we can solve it next time we fight with them,

When horses are disturbed, even if you fight with hard bridges and hard horses, you will not necessarily lose."

Subadi and Ombu looked at each other with disdain in their eyes.

These two tribes have been on the front line against the Oirat Mongols for a long time, and are called the Khalkha right wing, while the Tushetu Khan tribe and the Chechen Khan tribe are on the left wing, and have had no combat experience for a long time.

However, they are very familiar with each other and know the abilities of each of them. Gunbu will not mention it, but Shuolei is a man with both civil and military skills. Even if his subordinates have no combat experience for many years, with Shuolei's ability, he can ride with seven thousand riders.

There is no reason to fail against two thousand Sauron cavalry.

Even if the Zasaktu tribe and the Tohuit tribe have rich combat experience, they may not be able to win with 10,000 cavalry against a huge base of 10,000 cavalry.

Thinking of this, Omubu said: "Uncle Khan, brother, our tribe is far away from you and the other two tribes, and there is brother Subadi's tribe in the middle. It is beyond our reach and there is really nothing we can do to help. However, I do have some ideas when it comes to firearms."

Seeing everyone's eager eyes on him, he smiled and said, "It's not that we have this weapon, but other places."

"Everyone, to the north of our tribe, a tribe called Rakshasa has arisen in the middle reaches of the Chu River. I heard that this tribe used to be a tribe of the Golden Horde. They rose up after the Khanate disappeared. Now they have established a tribe.

A country called the Tsarist Empire dominates the territory that was formerly occupied by the Golden Horde."

"This is the country that, with a small number of men, destroyed the Shibor Khanate that had been entrenched on the Ob River for many years. Now it has invaded the Chu River Basin and levied taxes from the Buryats, Kyrgyz, and Saurons there.

Regarding taxes, they sent people to contact me when my father was in power, so I know a little bit about it."

"I heard that they conquered such a huge territory with only a few men and horses. Although it was mostly in bitter cold places, it should not be underestimated. What they relied on for this achievement was firearms. To be honest, I was dismissive of firearms at the beginning.

, we Mongolians are famous for their riding and shooting, but judging from the rise of Rakshasa and Sauron, firearms do play a big role, and they really need to be taken seriously."

"The Rakshasa people contacted me not long ago and said they wanted to demarcate the territory with our department. I didn't take it seriously at the time. Now that the matter of Uncle Khan has come up, I took the initiative to contact them after I went back to delimit the territory and sign an agreement.

Documents, secondly, let’s see if we can exchange some firearms. Once the firearms are in place, I will pass them on to Uncle Khan and you three after I have become proficient.”

Gunbu and others also looked at each other, thinking in their hearts: "If you say it, you haven't said it yet. When you become proficient in firearms, why don't you use them to hold me hostage?"

Subadi said: "In fact, this is not difficult. The Rakshasa people are proficient in firearms, and the Ming Dynasty in the south is no less generous. Unfortunately, Hutuktu Khan now occupies Daban Shengcheng and often goes against the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise,

If so, it is estimated that many of the craftsmen in Daban Shengcheng will be able to make firearms..."

Hutuktu Khan, also known as Lin Dan Khan, is commonly known as "Hu Duntu" by people in the Ming Dynasty.

"Eh?" Shuolei slapped his thigh, "The Jurchens in the east have occupied the entire Liaodong. They should also have firearms there."

Gun Bu, who was on the side, sighed quietly: "Now we have Jurchens in the east, Saurons in the north, and Rakshasa people in the west. The children of the Golden Family have such a large territory, but it is just a mess..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent. Only then did Shuolei realize that his sons were still kneeling on the ground, and he cursed: "Why don't you get out?"

When Babu and the others staggered out, Shuolei said again: "Waiting outside the tent!"

After a while, Gunbu broke the silence, "Let's not talk about other people. Whether they are Rakshasa people or Jurchens, they are still far away from me. The Jurchens are now chasing Hutuktu Khan, and they don't care about it for a while.

Before we come, let’s solve the Sauron people’s problem first and then we can talk about it.”

He had just said that the Mongols were a piece of loose sand, and at this time he was indifferent to Lin Dan Khan being chased and beaten by the Jurchens. Although Lin Dan Khan often threatened and crusaded internally, which caused dissatisfaction among the Mongols, he was after all the legitimate Great Khan of the Golden Family.

"After I defeated Baryaga last time, I found out a piece of news, which is of great relevance to Bogra Khan!"
