A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, but quite strong, wearing a Ming Dynasty-style breastplate and an iron helmet, and a group of friends of the same age, rode horseback to Batur Huntaijima, who was watching the battle from a high place.

The young man's armor was stained with blood, and he was carrying a bloody bundle in his right hand. When he arrived in front of Batur Hutaiji, he suddenly reined in the war horse. The war horse neighed and raised its front hooves high.

, and then fell heavily, hitting the ground covered with ice and snow.

"Sengge!" Batur Hutaiji, who was already elderly, looked at the young man and showed a fond smile.

Mongolian tradition is to pass the throne to the youngest son (youngest son). This young man named Sengge is the fifth son of Batur Hutaiji. Although he is not the youngest son, he is the second youngest son. Batu

The youngest son of Erhutaiji is Galdan, but Galdan's mother once made a reincarnation agreement with the Living Buddha Wensa III who visited the Zhungar tribe, asking the living Buddha who was old and sick at that time to agree to reincarnate as her son.

After the old living Buddha agreed, he returned to Tibet and passed away not long after. Then Galdan's mother, Batur Hutaiji's wife, became pregnant and later gave birth to Galdan.

In other words, Galdan was the reincarnated Living Buddha when he was born, and of course he could not become the heir. Therefore, the monk in front of him is the heir of Batur Hutaiji.

Today's battle is the first battle that Sengge has participated in!

In order to help his son establish prestige as soon as possible, Batur Hutaiji selected 500 young men with strong martial arts skills from various subordinate tribes a year ago and asked them to serve as his son's partners. They were also equipped with armor and armor presented by the Ming Dynasty.

The best war horses were gathered together to train for battle.

Just when Yangjier Khan's Kazakh coalition was defeated by the artillery fire of the Junggar army, and repeated attacks by mounted musketeers and cavalry, Batur Hutaiji made a decisive decision and immediately asked his son Sengge to lead his 500 cavalry into the attack.

Launching an attack on the location of Yang Jier Khan's banner, there is only one goal, which is to kill Kazakh Khan Yang Jier!

The Kazakh Khanate came from the Golden Horde. The Khan King was a descendant of Jochi. Although he believed in the Tianfang religion, the country's organization was still Mongolian. In fact, it was an alliance of nomadic tribes without strong centralization. Once Yangjier Khan died

, the Khanate would be easily separated.

In this way, Batur Hutaiji can more easily conquer the entire Mongolstan, the Junggar Khanate, and the Kazakh Khanate's territory is called Mongolstan by the Persians, which means the place of the Mongols.

Only by completely controlling this territory can the Jungar tribe have the possibility of establishing a khanate!

Batur Hutaiji, who was watching the battle from a high place, had already seen Yang Jier's formation being broken through and Kazakh Khan's banner falling. The only thing he could not be sure of was Yang Jier Khan, who had great prestige in the Kazakh Khanate.

Did anyone die?

"Father!" Sengge had already dismounted and came to Batur Hutaiji with the bloody bundle in his hands, "I brought Yang Jier's head!"

"Really?" Batur Hutaiji said happily, "Bring it to me and see!"

A guard who was following him immediately took the bloody bundle and opened it, revealing a dead head inside.

Batur Hutaiji was surrounded by advisers who had been on mission to the Kazakh Khanate. He took one look at the head and said with joy: "Hutaiji, Yang Jier Khan is dead! This is his head!"

"

"Hahaha" Batur Hutaiji laughed three times, "The whole army attacks! We must let the Kazakhs know how powerful our Junggar tribe is! Let them know who is the master of Mughalstan!"

The death of Yangjier Khan was undoubtedly the beginning of dark years for the Kazakh Khanate. The country that had been barely unified fell apart. Large areas of fertile pasture were seized by the Junggar tribe. The divided Kazakh tribes fought among themselves to compete for the remaining grassland.

Massacre.

For Batur Hutaiji, who is already getting older and his health is getting worse, victory does not mean the beginning of a happy life. Because he had already contracted the cold before the decisive battle in Chuhe, and he had been ill for several days.

Suffering from a low fever, he went to the battlefield with his sick body fully supported.

Probably because his wish was fulfilled, the spirit that suppressed the disease suddenly dissipated. That night, Batur Hutaiji developed a high fever, coughed uncontrollably, and vomited red phlegm.

Knowing that his time was running out, Batur Hutaiji quickly ordered his heir Sengge, his eldest son Chechen, his second son Zhuote Babatur and his brother Chuhuur Ubas to be taken away from the camp on the bank of the Chu River, where they were drinking and celebrating.

He was summoned to his own camp. He was also asked to put on the python robe and black gauze hat of a first-class military attaché of the Ming Dynasty (both of which were sent with the cannon), and he held two imperial edicts issued by Zhu Cixiang in his hands.

One is after canonizing Batur Huitai Ji as the Protector of Beiting, and the other is after canonizing Seng Ge as the Protector of Beiting!

As early as when Galdan was staying in Yulin, the acting king Zhu Cijiong was entrusted with requesting these two imperial edicts from Zhu Cihong.

Seeing Batur Hutaiji dressed like this, Sengge, Chechen, Zhuote Babatur and Chuhuur Ubas were all stunned.

What's going on? Why did Huitai Ji wear this fancy Ming Dynasty official uniform? Is it true that the Junggar tribe professed its submission to the Ming Dynasty?

Batur Hutaiji's eldest son Chechen looked at his father and asked: "Father, are you going to fly the flag of the Ming Dynasty?"

Batur Hutaiji was noncommittal, and turned his attention to his younger brother Chuhu'er Ubash. Chuhu'er Ubash looked very similar to Batur Hutaiji, but he was much younger, with different hair and beard.

She is dark and shiny, and her complexion looks healthy.

Among the Junggar tribe, Chuhu'er Ubas is still a rare "intellectual". He is proficient in Mongolian, Chagatai, Persian and Chinese. He can understand the military secret book "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" given by the Qing Dynasty.

So Batur Hutaiji always regarded him as his Zhuge Liang.

Mongolian Zhuge Liang touched his beard, shook a folding fan (he couldn't find the goose feather fan, so he asked Lama Celing to go to Nanjing to buy it for him), and pretended to think for a while.

"Does Huetaiji want to get more assistance from the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Rakshasa Kingdom?"

Batur Hutaiji looked solemn, nodded slightly, and said: "My body is getting worse day by day, and I don't know when I will return to bliss. After my death, the Junggar tribe and the monks must have someone to rely on, otherwise

The ferocious Rakshasa people will definitely take the opportunity to seize the land, cattle, sheep and tribesmen of Junggar, so we must get the support of the Ming Dynasty."

In fact, Huetaiji of the Zhuge Liang tribe did not tell the truth to his brothers. What he is most worried about now is not the Rakshasa Kingdom at all, but his "brother Zhuge Liang". His eldest son Chechen and his second son Zhuote Babatu

Er has no brains and is easily instigated by others. And Chuhuur Ubas is scheming against others and his own people all day long, which may incite infighting between Chechnya, Zot Babatur and Sengge.

Therefore, Batur Hutaiji wanted to use the banner of the Ming Dynasty to stabilize the status of his son Sengge, so that he could safely become the Protector of Beiting!

As for the threat from the Rakshasa Kingdom, as long as the Junggar tribe can unite internally and have the support of the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing to worry about!

The Rakshasa people are only powerful with their guns and cannons. Now that the Junggar tribe can also get these from the Ming Dynasty, what else is there to fear?

"But the Ming Dynasty asked us to send troops to the Yeerqiang Khanate!" Sengge looked at his father's sick appearance and was very worried.

"Then send troops!" Batur Hutaiji coughed a few times, "Yerqiang, Kazakhstan, and Bukhara are allies, and they have always opposed our Junggar tribe. Now that Kazakhstan has been temporarily defeated, it is time to free up our hands to deal with Yeerqiang.

Khanate.

Moreover, Abdullah Khan of the Yerqiang Khanate was a mean and ungrateful man. After taking power, he massacred nobles from various tribes and expelled his brothers Ibrahim and Isma'ildu Abdullah Khan.

We have two brothers here, and now we can use them as guides to join forces with the Ming army to advance from east to west and destroy the Yeerqiang Khanate in one fell swoop!"

"But, father, your body." Sengge looked at his father, feeling a little worried.

Batur Huitaiji held up the imperial edict of Zhu Cixang's canonization of monks, and tried to raise his voice: "This is the edict of the Emperor of Heaven to appoint you as the governor of the Beiting Festival! You are now a member of the Junggar tribe who was granted the title of Emperor of Heaven.
