Because they were in the right place, the steam engine slowed down and made less noise to avoid detection. It's peaceful here now.
Everyone is fast asleep. Because no one would have thought that when they had an absolute advantage, the Ming army could cross the hundreds of thousands of troops in front to sneak attack on this important place where grain, grass and horse feed were stored.
Houtao, a half-moon-shaped fertile land sandwiched between Yinshan Mountain and the Yellow River, is densely covered with more than a dozen castles. These castles are very old.
Some were built by Zhao State during the Warring States Period. Some are from the Han Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the Yuan Dynasty.
There are even ones from the early Ming Dynasty. It was during the Zhu Zhanji period that the Ming Dynasty abandoned this place. These fortresses had garrisons in the early Ming Dynasty and had been repaired.
Therefore, although the collapse has been serious over the past two hundred years, the main body is still there. At this time, the Yellow River is already a suspended river on the ground, and the water surface is several meters above the ground.
Although not as severe as downstream. However, from the top platform of the ship, you can see the whole city.
In addition to some houses built of mud and wood, the city is dotted with grain hoards to store grain. There’s also plenty of horse stuff.
There is a five-entry courtyard in the center of the city. It looks like it was a health office built in the early Ming Dynasty. It is now very well preserved, and it is estimated that the current Mongolian Taiji people live inside.
In this land outside the Great Wall, living in a house is more comfortable than living in a yurt. There are also densely packed yurts staggered between buildings.
It seems that Laihe City is full of Mongols. There are also many campsites outside the city. A large number of cattle and sheep were in the pen.
This is the time when people sleep most deeply. In addition, this is the rear area, so they are not worried about a sneak attack by the Ming army.
So, almost even the people standing watch were dozing off. Here, the threat from Ningxia Town in the south is greater.
However, now they are obviously frightened when they see so many people coming from Mongolia in the desert. I didn't dare to come out at all.
Even when the Qinghai Tumut tribe and the Yongxiebu tribe crossed Helan Mountain and went to Linhe City to meet up, they did not even dare to come out of the city gate.
The tribes from Qinghai traveling through Ningxia felt like entering an uninhabited land. In fact, the tribes in Qinghai have long known about the grass chickens of the Ming army in Gansu and Ningxia.
For nearly a hundred years, they often traveled through Gansu and Ningxia to attack Monan Mongolia. The guards in the Ming Dynasty were all closed.
Pretend I didn't see it. The steam engine was still on fire, but the transmission system cut off contact and the ship slowly came to a stop.
This is the center of the river. very safe. The side of the diving heavy gunship faces the ancient city in the distance. On the five canal boats being towed behind, the cloths were also opened by the sailors.
Bundles of Kangolev rockets are revealed. Dozens of launch rails are being built. On the bow gun position, a group of gunners were struggling to shake the handles and adjust the pitch angle of the cannon.
Some are preparing shells and propellant packs. Take advantage of this opportunity. Yang Fan and Zhang Wudian talked about the Junggar people.
"Mr. Zhang, I don't know much about the situation in Mongolia in the past two hundred years. Do you know much?" Yang Fan asked.
Zhang Wudian nodded. He had fought with the Mongols for a long time. He knows more about the situation in Mongolia than Yang Fan.
"It is of no significance to us if it is too long ago. Let me start from the time when the youngest son of the Mongolian Dayan Khan, Gessenzha, ruled Khalkha." Zhang Wudian took a sip of tea and spoke.
Dayan Khan is the legendary figure who married Mandu Hai, the daughter of Yesian's sister. He was the remaining bloodline of Genghis Khan at that time.
She was spotted by Manduhai, the heroine who almost unified Monan Mongolia. When she became a widow at the age of 31, she chose 4-year-old Dayan Khan as her husband.
Choros - Mandu Haisiqin, an outstanding figure of the Choros family. A heroine of the Oara people.
Today's alliance flag system in Inner Mongolia is the foundation she laid. When his power reached its peak, he was killed by Wang Yue and the eunuch Wang Zhishuai's army in a direct attack on Weining Haizi Khan's court.
Dayan Khan only escaped with his body. Later, after unifying Mongolia, Dayan Khan tried to attack the Ming Dynasty and avenge Manduhai.
Defeated by Ming Wuzong in Datong. In this battle, the young emperor who usually liked to enjoy himself in the leopard room completely defeated Dayan Khan.
A few months later, Dayan Khan died after being defeated and retreated to Mongolia. Mongolia was once again divided. However, Manduhai gave birth to eight sons to Dayan Khan, injecting new blood into the endangered Golden Family.
It has almost a great contribution that will last forever. Like Queen Maria Theresa of the Habsburg family, she continued the bloodline of the almost extinct Habsburg family.
After the death of Dayan Khan, Dayan Khan's youngest son Gezhenza ruled Khalkha. That is, the three territories of Outer Mongolia.
The great-grandson of Gezhisenza, Shuolei Ubash, ruled the Oirat people and called himself Alatan Khan. Alatan Khan was actually the ruler of the Dayan Khan lineage in Mongolia, the desert.
In 1620, Ye Xian's descendant, the leader of the Junggar tribe, Hara Hula, raised the banner of Tatar resistance.
Counterattack against the Alatan Khan dynasty. But at this time, the Dayan Khan lineage still had strength as the line of orthodox emperors of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Even the right-wing Yongxiebu tribe and the Tumut people were beaten to Qinghai. How could he win with such virtue? The result was a disastrous defeat, and Hala Hulan only escaped with his own life.
But status is earned, and the Junggar tribe has established prestige among the four Oirat tribes. The Oara people definitely refused to admit defeat, and after they died first, they were fed up with the Tatars' arrogance.
In 1623, the four Lats attacked the Alatan Khan dynasty together again. This time, they won and Ubash was killed.
The Oara people officially became independent from Tatar control. At this time, the Shunyi king's line took advantage of the strength of Tumut's headquarters, and Anda Khan and his descendants began to compete with Dayan Khan's line for the position of emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
This is the internal struggle of the Jin family, a struggle between the eldest brother and the second brother in a family. This struggle did not end until Lin Dan Khan of the Chahar tribe attacked Monan last year and the line of King Shunyi was extinct.
The Junggar people got a precious respite. He was not attacked for killing the lord of the Golden Family.
As his power grew, Halakhura ruled the Kyrgyz people from the Abakan to Yenisei rivers.
Already have strong capital. And began to unify Oirat. Just like German reunification had to exclude Austria.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. In 1628, the Torgut tribe was forced to move westward to Europe. In 1629, Gushi Khan, the leader of Heshuote, united with Harahula and attacked the Alatan Khan dynasty again.
Alatan Khan II Ombu Erdeni was defeated again. This time the Oirats completely controlled the Tianshan grassland.
In 1634, Harahula died and was passed down to his eldest son, Batur Huitaiji. And this Batur Hutaiji is Galdan's father.
The important task of unifying Oirat and Mongolia was completed by Galdan. The Junggar people then fought repeatedly with the Qing Dynasty for a hundred years.
Until Qianlong ordered the last baby boy of the Junggar people to be hanged with a bowstring. The end was declared only after the complete annihilation of the Junggar people.
