Dasa Huang Taiji looked at the twelve Taijis sitting in front of him, and everyone was relatively speechless for a while. After such a disastrous defeat, there is nothing more to say.
These people only took away a few herdsmen, and mainly brought soldiers, nobles, and officials at all levels from the tribe.
At one time, more than 40,000 soldiers and more than 200,000 family scrolls gathered in Guihua City. This city built of blue stone became very crowded. Food and water became strained.
We can't stay like this for too long. This large stretch of grassland north of the Yellow River, all the way up to the jacket, cannot support so many people.
There was a gloomy atmosphere in the big tent, and everyone sighed to each other.
Being kicked out one by one from the winter pasture and losing their tribe, they were ashamed and angry. No one thought that Narenbaat'er would send troops in winter and drive them out one by one, just like driving marmots out of their caves.
Bayot Taiji said: "We can't sit here and wait for death. My detailed work has sent back the news. The Ming Dynasty will attack us in the beginning of spring and will destroy the Ordos people. We must save ourselves."
Dacheng Taiji said: "It's easy to say that our last chassis is already at the foot of Yinshan Mountain. Where else can we go? What else can we do."
Bayot Taiji said: "To the west of us are the Alxa people. They are closely related to the four Mongolian tribes in the desert. If we perish, they will not be safe. To the north of us are the Tushetu Khan and Zasak of Khalkha. The base of Tu Khan. Qinghai to our south is the base of Gushi Khan. The occupation of our area by the Han is equivalent to cutting off the Mongolian traffic channels and driving a nail into the heart of the Mongolians."
Dengdalat Taiji touched his chin and said: "We should send messengers to ask for help in all directions. Especially Gushi Khan, who occupies the Qinghai-Tibet area and has coveted Ganzhou and Hehuang for a long time. It is very likely that he will come back to support We. Attack the Hexi area by the way."
Wushentaiji squinted his small eyes and said: "I went to the Torgut tribe and the Junggar tribe. The Han people said it well, but their lips are dead and their teeth are cold. I don't believe that the Oara people have not let go of their prejudices at this time and jointly resist Ming army. If the Xitao area is lost, the Mongols will be completely separated geographically."
Dasa Huang Taiji is over seventy this year, and he was very decadent after the defeat in Duolun. He has lost his courage and spirit. However, after all, he is the oldest and highest-ranking nobleman among the Tumut people at this time. At this time, the life and death of the Tumut people has reached a critical moment.
He knew he had to find courage because everyone was watching.
"We have no retreat. Wu Shen is right. We can no longer defeat the Ming Dynasty with our own strength, but there are many brother countries and tribes around us. Although the Ming Dynasty has been in ruins (the last emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty) Still there is Lin Dan Khan). But the Mongols still control a vast territory, and they will never let the Han control Hexi and Xitao. We send messengers to every Mongolian country and tribe. Invite them Come and help us. The Immortal Heaven will definitely protect us and repel the Ming people's attack." Dasa Huang Taiji yelled at the top of his lungs with his goatee trembling.
It can be seen from the map that Xitao is so important.
This is the territory of Gushi Khan in Qinghai, the four tribes of the Oara people north of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in the Tarim Basin, now called the Yarkand Khanate. The junction area of the three Khalkhas in the north. controlled by the Han people. The Mongols as a whole were divided into small pieces.
Because history has developed to this day. Five territories of the Mongol Empire. All decline.
The Yuan Empire has been forced to withdraw from the Great Wall and the Northeast for more than 200 years, and the divided cities of Monan Mongolia, Mobei Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia are still surviving. Although the throne has not been cut off, Lin Dan Khan has long lost control.
The Kipchak Khanate had perished as early as 1502. After that, the Mongols were expelled from Ukraine. Over the next hundred years, Russia became stronger and successively seized the Ural region and Siberia from the Mongols. At this time, we have moved eastward to Lake Baikal.
The Yin'er Khanate and the Ogedai Khanate were declared over even before the establishment of the Ming Dynasty and in the early years of the Ming Dynasty.
At this time, the Mongols' sphere of influence had shrunk from Europe back to East Asia and eastern Central Asia.
The only territories they control now are the northeastern Kazakhstan, northern Xinjiang, and Tangnu Ulianghai areas controlled by the Oara people. The Chagatai Khanate controls southern Xinjiang, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and the Pamirs. The Qinghai-Tibet area controlled by Gushi Khan. The Outer Mongolia region controlled by the three Khalkha tribes. The Chahar Tribe of Lindan Khan in Eastern Mongolia, the Fifth Inner Khalkha Tribe, and the Horqin Tribe.
The Hetao and Xitao areas are the center of this huge Mongolian sphere of influence and are also the main transportation routes for communication between each other.
Because of Yang Fan's victories in Haraqin and Duoyan, he occupied half of the territory of Monan Mongolia.
As a result, the territory of the Tumut people became the key to the development of the situation. If the Ming Dynasty occupied Xitao, it would completely block and divide these areas controlled by the Mongols.
Everyone can understand that the next step will be defeated one by one.
Therefore, it is necessary for the Mongols to unite and defeat the Ming army in Guihua City. Otherwise, let the Ming army eat Tumut, Ordos, and Alxa Mongolia.
They were completely isolated and became small local forces.
Today, all of you Taiji sitting here also understand this. Therefore, we advocate seeking help from the Mongolian countries on all sides. These countries and tribes have considerable strength. An army of hundreds of thousands was still possible.
The more Huang Taiji thought about it, the more it made sense. He felt that the Ming army's advance this time was not entirely a bad thing.
The Mongols have been divided for too long. This time the operation was done well, an alliance was held, a new Mongolian Khan was elected, and the Mongols were unified and united on the surface.
There are many advantages to doing this. The first is that it is equivalent to abolishing Lin Dan Khan's status as emperor of the Mongol Empire. There are many descendants of Genghis Khan, so it is not necessary to establish him. His previous killings of right-wing Mongols had already made the Monan Mongolians hate him.
Another benefit is to unite to deal with Ming Dynasty.
Dasa Huang Taiji continued: "We also need to send people to contact Daikin. It would be best if the Eight Banners soldiers can come to support."
Duan Naitaiji said without hope: "This year, Tian Cong Khan has been leading the soldiers and horses of the four banners to attack the insidious Khan's Vajra White City. He may not be interested in us."
Bukarestage said: "No matter how thoughtful Huang Taiji is, he knows that he can weaken Sinister Khan, but the Eight Banners soldiers can't kill him yet. Since they have beaten Sinister Khan enough this year, I estimate that he will now He may have withdrawn his troops. After all, it is very cold in Liaodong in winter, and his Eight Banners soldiers also need to be repaired."
Dasa Huang Taiji said: "Okay. We will send people to each tribe immediately. Duan Naitaiji, you go to Qinghai and meet Gushi Khan. Bukarestaiji, you go to Yarkand. Wangji Lataiji With Wushen Taiji, you two go to the Yinli River Valley and the leaders of the fourth tribe of the Oara people and have a good talk. Let them put aside their feuds and prejudices. Maoming An Taiji, you go to the third tribe of Khalkha. Doluo Tuman Taiji You go to Shenyang on our behalf, meet Tiancong Khan of Dajin, and try to persuade him to send troops to intercept the Ming army's retreat."
Everyone saluted with their right hands on their chests. They all took orders and left.
Not anymore today.
