This is the coldest season in Khalkha Mongolia, and the vast grasslands are silvery white as far as the eye can see. Although the wind was as cold as a knife, it didn't snow, so the march went smoothly. On the banks of the Kerulen River, four to five hundred "Santa Clauses" were riding short Mongolian horses, carrying matchlock guns and heavy battle axes, leading auxiliary horses carrying luggage, escorting forty or fifty vehicles. A horse-drawn sleigh loaded with goods headed west.
The leaders of these "Santa Clauses" are Obai and De Velasco.
Obai now has a rather Rakshasa-like pseudonym, called Obaisky, and his public identity is the Mongolian translator of Bekov (De Velasco), the adjutant of the military and political commander of the Rakshasa country Yakutsk. They're not from the Rakshasa tribe, and they don't even look like them! So I can only be a Kazakh who has joined the Rakshasa membership.
He is now also wearing a red furry hat and a red robe. Fortunately, his beard is not white, otherwise he would look like Santa Claus.
This "Santa Claus suit" is the military uniform of the Rakshasa Nation's shooting army, and the tomahawk and matchlock are the standard equipment of the shooting army. In order to pretend to be Maozi, Obai and De Velasco really worked hard. Even Rakshasa The design army's Santa Claus costumes were rushed out.
In addition to these, the more than a thousand Spanish light matchlocks they were escorting were also processed, the Spanish words were rubbed out, and then the Rakshasa script was re-engraved on them - some of them were also among the fake Rakshasa recruited by Obaski. Someone who knew a little Rakshasa script wrote the words "Made in Moscow, Rakshasa Kingdom" in Rakshasa script and asked the Korean craftsmen in Busanpo to engrave it accordingly.
After everything was ready, Obaisky and Wu Keshan's son Bier Tahar embarked on a journey to Khalkha Mongolia at the end of the eighth year of Hongxing.
Khalkha Mongolia is roughly northwest of Horqin Mongolia - because it was the first to join the Qing Dynasty, Horqin Mongolia has a large territory, almost taking over all the pastures of Mongolia, the host country in history, so the Ten Banners to which Horqin belongs can now also live Very moisturizing.
It is for this reason that Brother Wu Keshan and others also knew that they would not be tolerated by the Ming Dynasty, so they did not secretly beg the Ming Emperor to show their favor. Instead, they made two preparations. One was to unite with the remaining forces of the Qing Dynasty headed by Duduo to keep warm. ; The second is to be prepared for the long-distance westward migration.
If you want to move westward, of course you must first establish relations with the Khalkha and Mongolian tribes, so that you can easily use the passage.
And whether they stay in Horqin Caoqing and continue to deal with the Ming Dynasty or leave, they must incite the three Khalkha Mongolian tribes to confront the Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, the Horqin tribe would not be stable even if they moved westward - it would be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to pursue them thousands of miles away. However, once the Chahar Mongolia and Tumut Mongolia join forces to unify Eastern Mongolia, Horqin will be under investigation. Hal and Tumut are in pursuit!
For Horqin Mongolia, Chahar Mongolia and Tumut Mongolia are more dangerous than the Ming Dynasty!
Because the Ming Dynasty had too many enemies, Horqin Mongolia was not ranked at all. As for Chahar and Tumote, how could they not kill the traitor Horqin Mongolia?
If Horqin Mongolia hadn't led the way, would the Mongolian Great Khan (Chahar Mongolian) and the Little Khan (Tumut Mongolian) have been so miserable?
Therefore, Wu Keshan did not care about celebrating the New Year. In the cold weather, he took his men to set up front for Obaisky, and took one or two thousand warriors along the Kherulun River to find the winter camp of the Chechen Khan tribe.
The territory of the Chechen Khan tribe is located to the east of Khalkha Mongolia, very close to Nerchinsk City, the stronghold of the Rakshasa Kingdom in the upper reaches of Heilongjiang River, so it has always had contacts with the Rakshasa people. Of course, this exchange was mainly due to bullying... Because the Chechen Khan tribe was blocked by the Qing Dynasty for a long time, there were no sources of iron tools and firearms, and the quality of the horses was not as good as the Cossack cavalry in Nerchinsk City. That’s why the Rakshasa people have been frightened all these years!
So when Obaisky was on his way to the winter camp of the Chechen Khan on the banks of the Kherulun River, Wu Keshan was begging the Chechen Khan Babu not to run away...
In the Khan's tent of Chechen Khan, Babu Khan, who had just ascended the throne and looked majestic and majestic, reminded people of the Great Khan or something like that. At this time, he was spinning around like headless flies. Several of his slaves He was hurriedly packing his things, while Wu Keshan, who had just arrived in the world, was trying to persuade him with a dry mouth.
"Prince Babu, don't be afraid..."
Babu Khan stopped suddenly and looked at Wu Keshan with wide eyes: "Prince Wu Keshan, what are you talking about? The Rakshasa red shotgun soldiers are coming, how can I not be afraid?"
Those who came back this time were not Cossacks, but the "Santa Claus Soldiers" who were even more powerful than the Cossacks. Even though the Cossacks were so destructive when they bullied the Mongols, they would still be hanged when they met the Tsar's "Santa Claus". Get up and fight!
Babu Khan also heard about the power of the "Santa Claus soldiers" from the Cossacks who bullied the Chechen Khan tribe, so when Wu Keshan said that there were 500 red-clad Rakshasa soldiers with shotguns coming along the Heilongjiang River to give gifts to the Chechen Khan tribe , and was immediately frightened to the point of crying.
Even if five hundred Cossacks come, you can't stand it. If you come with five hundred "Santa Clauses", what are you waiting for if the Chechen Khan doesn't run away?
Wu Keshan was also surprised. He didn't expect Babu to be so afraid of Rakshasa people, otherwise he wouldn't have allowed Obaiski to recruit so many fake Rakshasas. In order to recruit these fake Rakshasas, Obaiski But it took a lot of effort. Not only did they pull in many Ainu people to make up the number, but they also asked the navy to deliberately cause a shipping accident and let two Spanish galleons stay in Busan for the winter. Only then did they pull the two to three hundred people on board. The sailors did odd jobs and finally managed to make up 500 people...
Wu Keshan shook his head: "There are only five hundred people. What are you afraid of?"
"Only five hundred people?" Babu stared, "That's an army of five hundred Rakshasa! Can I not be afraid?"
"Can five hundred people be considered a large army? Lord Babu, do you have at least 20,000 warriors in your winter camp who dare to fight?"
"How dare you fight!" Babu stomped his feet. "How could any Mongolian dare to fight the Rakshasa ghosts on the Khalkha grassland these years? In the past few years, we had thousands of people ambush them and a hundred of them were defeated miserably. Now come Five hundred... That means destroying the Chechen Khan tribe!"
Can five hundred Rakshasa people destroy the Chechen Khan tribe?
Wu Keshan was a little confused and said in his heart: This shouldn't be the case! The Spanish soldiers are all Rakshasa soldiers and cannot be fought. They are not as good as the Spanish soldiers, Ottoman soldiers, French soldiers, Swedish soldiers, Dutch soldiers, English soldiers, Holy Roman soldiers, and Polish soldiers. In the West, they are basically Can't get a call?
"Prince Babu, you misunderstood. These Rakshasa people are good people... They are not here to destroy the Chechen Khan tribe. They are here to send you muskets on the order of the Tsar."
"What?" Babu Khan looked at Wu Keshan with an expression that looked like a fool. "Prince Wu Keshan, you were deceived by the Rakshasa people. How could they give us Mongolian muskets? Who should we hit with the muskets? It's just to beat the Rakshasa people. Damn it! We bought it from them at a high price, but they didn’t sell it, so how could we give it away?”
yes! Babu Khan’s idea is very right!
Wu Keshan was speechless for a moment, and it took him a while to realize: "They gave you the muskets to fight the Ming army!"
"He Mingjun? Why?"
"Of course I don't want the Ming Dynasty to dominate the grasslands!"
"What? Will the Ming Dynasty unify the grasslands?" Babu was stunned again and again, "Old prince, what year is it now? The year of Hongwu or the year of Yongle?"
"It's the year of Hongxing!" Wu Keshan looked worried, "The current Emperor Hongxing is the reincarnation of Emperor Hongwu, but it's amazing... How many years has it been? He defeated the Qing Dynasty and returned After subduing the Chahar Tribe, Tumut Tribe, and Zhungar Tribe as lackeys, they are about to destroy our Khalkha Tribe and Horqin Tribe.”
Babu's face turned pale again: "This, is this true?"
"Of course it's true!" Wu Keshan said, "There will soon be a bloody storm on the grassland... Lord Babu, if you don't trust the Rakshasa people, keep their brigade away from your winter camp. At one point, let them send a hundred people with muskets to come over first, is that okay?"
