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 I came back and counted the number of people, only more than 1,900 of the 2,500 people came back. At least five hundred people were lost, which was not a small loss.
Irgen ignored the livid Alabayan, but sat in front of the few cases at the head and fell into deep thought.
Mongolians believe in ghosts and gods, but this does not mean that they are ignorant. On the contrary, they are very smart. How could they not be smart enough to invade Europe and conquer almost the entire Eurasian continent?
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 they were exhausted now. , just use it.
"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 Alslen was exposed.
Als was stunned that he was not doing well here. He suffered because he was too upright. Without these guys, there would be 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 riskless for the cause of the lord." Irgentaiji pretended to shed a few tears, and entered 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 Irgentage that no one was willing to do, but he paid the most and received the least. The losses of one's own men and horses will not be compensated.
There were only a hundred and fifty soldiers left.
"Dear Taiji, I'm going to see what's going on tonight," Alsileng 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 were shot dead. Now everyone is talking about the change in 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 take his anger out on you, right?" Qiqige said worriedly.
"There is a river there. More than 500 people died today, and 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. "It will get dark soon. I will leave after eating. You and the child go to bed first, don't wait for me."
Qiqige wept secretly. She was Fujin's maid. After she married here with Fujin, Fujin proposed to marry her to the captain of the guard, Alsileng. In addition to serving Fujin every day, she also takes care of her husband and children. He knows Fujin's current situation better than anyone else.
The relationship between the Torgut tribe and Lin Dan Khan was very bad, and Taiji was on both sides, flattering Lin Dan Khan for a while. After a while, he flirted with Daqing again. He married Fujin to stabilize the west.
Today's Mongolia is no longer the great empire it once was, and is divided into three parts. The area north of the desert is called Mobei Mongolia. It is the territory of the Khalkha Mongolian tribes.
It is named after its distribution in the Khalkha River (Halakha River). Its predecessor was the Zhala Yi'er tribe (a tribe of Shiwei who moved westward earlier - the Tatar tribe).
At the end of the 15th century, after Batu Mengke (Dayan Khan), the 15th grandson of 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 foreign tribes lived in the west of Hexi Province, and their youngest son Ge Nao Sen Zha Zha Lai Er Huitai Ji was granted the title. It is the area around today's Mongolia.
The Inner Five Divisions were probably today's Outer Mongolia and the upper reaches of the Nenjiang River in Heilongjiang in eastern Inner Mongolia.
Now the five tribes of Inner 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 tribe was recruited.
And Desert Mongolia is Oirat Mongolia. They control Tibet, Qinghai, Xinjiang, northern Iran, and most of Kazakhstan.
The core tribe is the Junggar tribe, and the royal court is in the Ili Valley of Xinjiang. At this time, the Junggar tribe became stronger.
By the time Kangxi arrived, he already 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 Lindan Khan, also called the Chahan tribe. The capital is King Kong White City (the latitude is equivalent to a little north of Changchun).
From west to east, the largest tribal groups are the Ordos tribe, the Tumut tribe, the thirty-six families of the Duoyan tribe, the Haraqin tribe, the Chahar tribe, the Horqin tribe, the Nenhorqin tribe, and the five inner Khalkha tribes.
The Ordos tribe's territory is in the Hetao area north of the Great Wall. From Jiayuguan to Yulin, they are on guard against them. They mainly threaten and invade the Shaanxi-Gansu area.
Among the nine important towns of the Ming Dynasty, four towns including Gansu Town, Shaanxi Town, Yansui Town, and Ningxia Town were all established to defend against them.
The territory of the Tumut tribe is in the northern part of Shanxi and Shaanxi. Taking the Yellow River as the boundary, Hebei is the Tumed tribe and Henan is the Ordos tribe. Their core city was Guihua City (now Hohhot).
They are powerful and have a vast territory. It starts from Yinshan Mountain in the west and reaches Zhangjiakou in the east. The main threat is Shanxi and northern Hebei.
Shanxi Town, Datong Town, and Xuanfu Town are tasked with defending them.
Since the Duoyan tribes had been dispersed, thirty-six large tribes were formed.
Their territory stretches from Zhangjiakou eastward to Nurulhu Mountain on the west side of the Liaoxi Corridor.
It is bounded by this mountain and Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty. 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 Chahar pastoral lands, 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. The territory is vast and it mainly threatens Liaodong.
Further north are the Horqin and Nenhorqin tribes, and the furthest north are the five Inner 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, there is no big power in the north of the capital. Relatively safe.
Qiqige saw that her husband had been assigned a dangerous mission that no one wanted to go to.
I couldn't help crying. She was very worried that one day her husband would never come back and she would be pointed out to another man by Tai Ji.
Without Alsleng, Taiji can annex the elite Torgut soldiers that they have long coveted.
Watching her husband finish his meal and ride away on horseback, she couldn't bear it any longer. She held on to the door frame of the felt bag and burst into tears.
