On the grassland in March, the ice and snow have not disappeared, and the road is long and difficult, but it cannot hinder the ambition to dominate the world.
Between the vastness of heaven and earth, a large army meandered slowly, breaking the tranquility of the wilderness.
Thousands of cavalry came galloping in the distance, and an equal number of cavalry rushed out to greet them.
After the two sides met, they picked up dozens of horses and sent them to the Chinese army's tent.
"The Mongol warriors welcome the Great Khan!"
Huang Taiji was very happy when he saw the leaders of the Mongolian tribes lying on the ground. He walked forward vigorously, helped them up one by one, and hugged them.
"Lin Danhan's rebellious behavior has aroused the anger of heaven and people, just like the bad government of Emperor Ming. I am here today to seek justice for you."
After last year's Battle of Daling River, Hou Jin finally eliminated the threat from western Liaoning.
Huang Taiji then set his sights on another old rival - Lin Dan Khan.
This direct descendant of the Golden Family is really sorry for Genghis Khan's cultural and martial arts. He could obviously be the co-owner of the grassland and respond to his every call, but in the end he caused rebellion and alienation, and all the Mongolians turned against him.
Last year, while Hou Jin was attacking the Daling River, Lin Dan Khan's eastward expedition swept through the Horqin area and caused great losses to various departments in Eastern Mongolia. Not only that, he actually killed the envoys sent by the Mobei Khalkha tribes to the right wing, making the Mobei tribes also stand against him.
At that time, Huang Taiji was trying his best to deal with the Ming Dynasty, and could only send two thousand cavalry reinforcements, allowing Lin Dan Khan to withdraw calmly.
In the winter that just passed, due to the raging White Disaster, all Mongolian tribes were devastated and suffered heavy losses.
Huang Taiji received information that Lin Dan Khan had only more than 40,000 horses and less than 50,000 troops under his command.
He immediately realized that this was a God-given opportunity to defeat Lin Dan Khan and take over the Mongolian grasslands.
Therefore, in this March, even though the ice and snow had not disappeared, he still sent troops.
At this time, in the Mongolian grasslands, various tribes have been suffering from hardship for a long time. Recruited by Huang Taiji, tribes such as Horqin, Zhalut, Bahrain, Naiman, Aohan, Kalaqin, Tumut, Alukorqin, Wengniute, and Asut arrived one after another, allowing Huang Taiji's available troops to break through. One hundred thousand.
In the bustling tent, a corner was as deserted as this late spring cold.
Mang Gurtai was alone, drinking wine gloomily, as if he was out of tune with this world.
The people around him were accustomed to what he did, but no one came forward to accompany him.
Since what happened last year, everyone knows that this once famous one of the four Baylors has now become a dangerous person.
During the Battle of Daling River, the Two Blue Banners under Mang Gurtai suffered heavy losses and suffered very serious losses.
And this battle was all due to Tu Lai's rash actions.
No matter what, Mang Gurtai wanted to punish Tu Lai and let out a bad breath.
Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji only isolated Tu Lai but did not take any punitive measures. How can those words that are neither serious nor serious be exchanged for the lives of the two blue flag warriors?
This made Mang Gurtai very dissatisfied and complained constantly, and his words often affected Huang Taiji.
Huang Taiji heard this from time to time, and the anger in his heart became more and more intense, and he decided to make Mang Gurtai understand who was the Great Khan.
One day when Zhubeile was discussing the battle, Huang Taiji saw an opportunity and suddenly attacked Mang Gurtai.
"Someone reported that your subordinates did not listen to orders, delayed the fighter's opportunity, and resulted in damage. Do you have anything to say?"
Mang Gurtai was stunned, then got angry and said rudely: "There is no such thing."
He also raised his voice and shouted: "Which bastard is talking behind my back and has the guts to confront grandpa in front of me?"
The obscene words spoken in front of the Khan made Huang Taiji's face turn cold.
"If it is truly a false accusation, you should be severely punished. But if it is true, Mang Gurtai, can you plead guilty?"
Huang Taiji's original intention was to scare Mang Gurtai and make this rebellious brother be honest from now on. After all, with this matter hanging over his head, normal people would definitely be walking on thin ice from now on.
Unfortunately, he ignored that the other party was Mang Gurtai, a bastard who killed my mother with his own hands.
Just as he stood up to mount his horse, Mang Gurtai jumped up and roared like thunder, so loud that everyone heard him.
"Why does the Great Khan only have trouble with me? I have always been very obedient to the Great Khan. Do you have to get rid of me to be happy?"
That's not all, Mang Gurtai actually picked up his saber and stared at Huang Taiji with a pair of tiger eyes.
Everyone around was shocked, and the guards even stepped forward to protect Huang Taiji.
Mang Gurtai's younger brother Degerei was frightened and rushed towards him, punching and kicking him.
"Mang Gurtai, are you crazy? How can you hold a knife in front of King Khan?"
Mang Gurtai's ferocious energy came up, and he suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, scaring the Dege creature back again and again.
"You bastard, get out of here, you have no right to speak here."
Holding a knife in front of the Great Khan was already disrespectful, but now that he took the knife out of its sheath, its nature changed.
Daishan whistled, and the surrounding knights immediately gathered around him, shooting out their swords and arrows, all aimed at Mang Gurtai.
Seeing this scene, Mang Gurtai suddenly realized that in the eyes of the tribe, he, the great Belle, was nothing. Obviously, as long as Huang Taiji gave the order, these people would definitely shoot him on the spot.
Not only that, the personal guards he brought over were also unarmed and under strict supervision.
Huang Taiji was calm on the surface, but the joy inside was surging.
He knew that from this moment on, he was the real Jurchen co-leader.
And what Mang Gurtai, who was surrounded by people, could feel was that the sky was so vast that there was no place for him.
Huang Taiji did not let him go.
Because this is an excellent opportunity to establish your authority.
"Mang Gurtai, although your mother Fucha is guilty, my father Khan has already made a conclusion. But you invite favors and flattery, regardless of human relations, and your killing of your mother is worse than that of an animal. It can be seen that you have no rules and regulations, and you have already had it. If not Punishment, how can we talk about discipline?"
It was Mang Gurtai who was being scolded, but Huang Taiji was looking at Daishan.
Because it was rumored that Mang Gurtai's mother, Fucha, and Daishan were flirting with each other and seemed to have an affair, Nurhaci punished her.
But Daishan made a fool of himself on this issue twice in a row, and he lost the qualification to succeed the Great Khan.
Now that Huang Taiji's old matter is being brought up again, he wants to deal with Mang Gurtai on the one hand, and he is also taking the opportunity to coerce Daishan and make this eldest brother obey him.
Sure enough, Daishan's attitude became lower and lower, and he took the initiative and said: "Great Khan, Mang Gurtai has committed the crime of disrespect and must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others."
Now that Daishan has spoken, the rest of the Belles will naturally not let go of the opportunity to add insult to injury.
After discussion, Mang Gurtai was deprived of the title of Heshuabel and demoted to Dorobel. He was also reduced by five oxen, fined 10,000 taels of silver, armor, ten eagle-saddle horses, and two plain-saddle horses.
It can be said that after that conflict, Mang Gurtai suddenly changed from one of the four Baylors to a marginalized figure in Houjin. Even the people under his own command, the Two Blue Flags, avoided him.
At this time, except for a few close friends, Mang Gurtai seemed to be alone.
Seeing Huang Taiji and the leaders of the Mongolian tribes talking happily, Mang Gurtai became even more depressed and simply left alone.
Qin Hui can have three friends. No matter how depressed Mang Gurtai is, there are still people who care about him.
A woman walked into his tent with a servant.
"Mang Gurtai, why did you have a conflict with the Great Khan?"
Seeing the person coming, Mang Gurtai was unusually not furious.
Because the person coming was his biological sister Mang Guji.
Mangguji first married Wu Ergu of Hada tribe, who was Wang Siyi's uncle. After Wu Ergu's death, Mangguji was married by Huang Taiji to Zuonomuduleng of the Aohan tribe in Mongolia out of political considerations.
This time, the Aohan tribe responded to Huang Taiji's call and came to join the alliance. Mangguji also followed Zonomuduleng to visit his brother.
"Huang Taiji wants my life, should I die?"
Facing his sister, Mang Gurtai finally exposed his weak side and complained loudly.
Faced with this situation, Mangguji, a woman's family, had nothing to do. In a panic, she couldn't help but turn to the people she brought with her for help.
"Mr. Wu, is there any way to save my brother?"
Mang Gurtai suddenly raised his head and realized that the Han people brought in by Mang Guji were not slaves.
He was a young man with rather handsome features. He was different from the submissive appearance of ordinary Han slaves. His expression contained strong self-confidence.
"who is he?"
Facing Mang Gurtai's questioning, the young man stepped forward and sat opposite Mang Gurtai.
"Someone who can save you."
Mang Gurtai narrowed his eyes, his murderous intention revealed.
"Mang Gurtai is a fierce tiger in the mountains and forests, and it is not the turn of the Han people who are as timid as chickens to give alms."
The young man smiled, which was like a spring breeze.
"A tiger can also fall into a state of decline. Without help, it will not be long before it becomes a dead tiger."
Mang Gurtai rushed over and grabbed him by the neck.
"You slave dog, how dare you act arrogant in front of grandpa."
Young people are still so calm.
"Even if Big Belle is killed, what will happen to me? I just go to the underworld first and wait for Big Belle for a few more days."
Mang Gurtai, who was fighting on the battlefield and killing people without any calculation, had his hands shaking for the first time in his life.
Just because he knew that what this young man said was not wrong at all.
He was just reckless, not a fool. How could he not know that the butcher's knife was already hovering over his head.
Where should the majestic son of Nurhaci, one of the four great belles of the Later Jin Dynasty, go?
