Chapter 394: Grab a woman with Dorgon
On March 17, 2018, the junction of Qinghai-Gansu-Ningxia, south of Tolenan Mountain.
The area of Tole Nanshan was originally under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division of the Ming Dynasty. It was located in Gansu Town, one of the important towns in the nine borders. However, since Chahar moved west to Qinghai and frequently invaded Ming borders, the border troops of the Ming Dynasty had to withdraw from Gansu Town and established a defense line in the Ningxia Town under the command of Hong Chengchou.
Until Lin Dankhan died suddenly and the rest of Chahar collapsed, the Ming border army still hid in Ningxia Town and did not dare to send troops to recover Gansu Town and even Suzhou Guards.
Because Hong Chengchou was busy dealing with Qin Chuan, he had neither the energy nor the strength to recover Gansu Town.
Therefore, after Lin Dankhan's death, several remaining Chahar tribes were still wandering in this area, and they didn't know where to go.
Among them are Lin Danhan's two wives, Su Tai's concubine and Tessna Berch's concubine, and Lin Danhan's eldest son Ezhe.
Shortly after Lin Dankhan's death, Ezhe, who was only thirteen years old, inherited the position of Chahar Khan. He is now leading the central army of Chahar and Hanatumen Wanhuo of Sutai, stationed in Toritu, south of the Tolenan Mountains.
The eight tribes of Chahar have fallen apart. Ezhe, Sutai and Tessna have less than 3,000 tribes in their hands, and less than 6,000 people can fight.
I can't stay in Tolenan Mountain for too long. When the spring snow melts, when Hong Chengchou can take action, he will send troops to deal with them.
They could not surrender to the Ming Dynasty, because they invaded the Ming Dynasty several times during their exile in Qinghai and had already formed a great hatred.
There were only two roads before them, one was Chechen Khan Shuolei who went north to surrender to Khalkha, and the other was surrendering to the Later Jin Dynasty.
The leaders of the remaining Chahar tribe had been arguing about this all winter. Some wanted to go north to Khalkha and surrender to Chechen Khan, who was also descended from the Golden Family, while others wanted to go east and surrender to the increasingly powerful Later Jin.
Seeing that the spring snow had melted and the weather was getting warmer, I didn't make any sense.
It was not until April 28, the eighth year of Chongzhen that Ezhe, Sutai and other leaders of the remaining Chahar tribe suddenly discovered that they were surrounded overnight.
The enemy was the 12,000 coalition forces of the Later Jin and Mongolian led by the brothers Dorgon and Ajige.
Just as the young Ezhe was frightened, the leaders and tribesmen below were in a mess, a guest suddenly came from outside the camp, the younger brother of Empress Dowager Su Tai, Nan Chu.
Nan Chu had long surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty. This was the one who came to persuade Ezhe and Su Tai to surrender under the order of Dorgon.
Su Tai had long been determined to surrender to the Later Jin Dynasty, but because of his identity, he did not dare to speak out and persuade Ezhe.
Now that Nan Chu came, Su Tai felt relieved and immediately took Nan Chu to see Ezhe.
Nan Chu persuaded Ezhe, his young nephew, without much saliva. Su Tai even offered to express his willingness to offer the imperial seal of the Great Yuan Mongol Empire and the Mahagala Golden Buddha.
With Ezhe and Su Tai nodding and surrounded by the Later Jin army, the leaders who wanted to go north to surrender to the Chechen Khan no longer dared to come out to object.
As Lin Danhan's youngest wife and Tesna, who is also the weakest among the eight concubines, naturally did not dare to oppose Su Tai and Ezhe.
After receiving the clear answer from Ezhe and Su Tai, Nan Chu was extremely happy and hurriedly left the remaining camp of Chahar, wanting to rush back to report to Dorgon.
At this moment, the Later Jin army and Mongolian coalition outside the encirclement suddenly had a commotion, and the horns were heard quickly, mixed with the shouts of many generals.
There seemed to be something wrong outside.
Not long after, a fiery red cavalry slowly appeared on the hillside of Tolenan Mountain not far to the north, like a fire dragon, particularly conspicuous among the green grass, with the head of the flag with a vigorous character "Qin".
Seeing this big flag, Nan Chu's face suddenly changed.
"Han people? How could the Han army appear here?" Empress Dowager Su Tai, who had always been calm, couldn't help but change her fear.
"Is it Hong Chengchou?"
"Does Hong Chengchou have a general named Qin under his command?"
"It seems that there isn't."
"The Han people did not have an army in red armor."
"That's not Hong Chengchou, but our general, Loufan Qinchuan Qin General."
When everyone in the remaining Chahar tribe was talking, someone suddenly said something.
"Qinchuan?"
Everyone was stunned and looked backwards.
I saw a man dressed in a man who came to everyone at some point.
Facing the puzzled and vigilant eyes of everyone, the man was not afraid, but only respectfully saluted Su Tai and Ezhe, saying: "Kesktwanhu Chiershan Toda Sea Cucumber, see the Khan, and meet the Queen Mother."
"Tordahai?" Su Tai frowned in confusion.
"Wultai's nephew."
"oh."
Su Tai suddenly realized.
At this time, a leader of Chahar came out and pointed at Todahai and asked sternly: "You just said that Lou Fan Qinchuan is your general, what does this mean?"
Todahai replied calmly: "The Chiershan tribe has regarded the General as Khan and is swearing to be loyal to the General to his death."
"You...traitor!"
"Hmph! You betrayed the Khan and have the courage to sneak into our camp?"
"Come on, take this traitor."
"Kill him with one knife."
"No, tie him up and offer it to the fourteen Bells to show our Chahar tribe's sincerity to surrender."
Facing the many angry leaders and the guards of the Khan Tent who were approaching step by step, Todahai was not afraid at all, but only looked at Su Tai calmly and said, "Empress Dowager, I am the envoy of the General. Killing me will not do anything to the Chahar tribe, it will only bring disaster."
"Dare you threaten the Queen Mother?"
The leader just now pulled out the scimitar from his waist with a clang.
Todahai patted his chest and continued, "Dear Khan, the noble Empress Dowager, the Jurchens will not bring hope to the Chahar tribe, and Huang Taiji will not become the lord of the grassland. Only our general can bring prosperity to the Chahar tribe and give all those who live on the grassland enough food and clothing. In the near future, there will only be one khan on the grassland."
"The General will use facts to prove that he is the Khan chosen by Changsheng Heaven, the supreme Khan on the prairie."
After saying that, Todahai raised his hand and pointed to the east.
Su Tai and others turned around and saw that the Later Jin army, which had originally formed an encirclement in the east, was moving towards the central army in chaos, giving way to the east.
Not long after, another army appeared in the east, about six or seven thousand people, all of which were cavalry, but they were able to line up in neat rows and approached the Later Jin army retreating to the south.
Seeing this scene, the expressions of the Chahar leaders became solemn.
It was the most neat cavalry they had ever seen.
Because of the neatness and solemnity, everyone felt a sense of oppression with a strong momentum and a tension that was about to come.
It was obviously a war-provoked and well-trained army.
The Later Jin army, which originally surrounded the three sides of the Chahar camp, had already voluntarily abandoned the encirclement, and even the troops from the west retreated to the south. Under the scolding of generals of all sizes, the army was stolen, and was ruling the enemy, as if they were facing a great enemy.
The cavalry coming from the east soon stopped and confronted the Later Jin army.
The Chahar Camp, which was originally surrounded by heavy siege, was just sandwiched between the two sides.
In this battle, the winner can take away the remaining Chahar team.
