Because we arrived at the place, the steam engine slowed down and reduced the noise to avoid being discovered.
It's quiet here now. Everyone is sleeping soundly.
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 the Zhao State during the Warring States Period. Some were 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.
The Ming Dynasty abandoned this place during the Zhu Zhanji period. These fortresses were stationed in the early Ming Dynasty and had been repaired. Therefore, although they have collapsed seriously over the past two hundred years, the main part is still there.
At this time, the Yellow River was already a river hanging above the ground, and the water surface was several meters above the ground. Although it was not as serious as the downstream. However, from the top platform of the boat, you could see the whole city.
In addition to some houses built of mud and wood, the city is densely covered with grain stores for storing grain. There are also a large number of horse feed. There is a five-entry courtyard in the center of the city, which looks like it was a health office built in the early Ming Dynasty. It is now
It is very well preserved, and it is estimated that the current Mongolian Taiji people live in it.
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 among the buildings. It seems that Linhe City is full of Mongolians. There are also many camps outside the city. A large number of cattle and sheep are in pens.
At this time, people are sleeping most soundly. In addition, this is the rear area, and they are not worried about a sneak attack by the Ming army. Therefore, almost even the people standing guard at night are dozing off.
Here, the threat from Ningxia Town in the south is greater. However, now it is obvious that so many people have arrived in Mongolia, the desert, and they are frightened. They dare not come out at all.
Even when the Tumut tribe and the Yongxiebu tribe of Qinghai 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 of Qinghai crossed through Ningxia as if they were entering an uninhabited land.
In fact, the tribes in Qinghai have long known that the Ming army in Gansu and Ningxia is a fool. For nearly a hundred years, they often traveled through Gansu and Ningxia to attack Monan Mongolia. The Ming Dynasty guards were closed. Pretend I didn't
see.
The steam engine still kept firing, but the transmission system cut off the connection, and the ship slowly stopped. This is the center of the river. It is 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 sailors also opened the cloths, revealing bundles of Kangaroev rockets. Dozens of launch rails were 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 were preparing shells and propellant packs.
Taking advantage of this time, 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 knew more about the situation in Mongolia than Yang Fan.
"It's too long ago and it doesn't mean anything to us. Let me start with the time when the youngest son of Mongolian Dayan Khan, Gessenzha, ruled Khalkha." Zhang Wudian took a sip of tea and spoke.
Dayan Khan was the legendary figure who married Yexian's sister's daughter Manduhai. He was one of the few remaining bloodlines of Genghis Khan at that time. He was favored by the heroine Manduhai who almost unified Monan Mongolia. When she was 31 years old
When she was a widow, she chose 4-year-old Dayan Khan as her husband.
Choros - Mandu Haisiqin, an outstanding figure of the Choros family. The heroine of the Vara people. She laid the foundation for today's alliance flag system in Inner Mongolia.
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.
After Dayan Khan unified Mongolia, he tried to attack the Ming Dynasty and avenge Manduhai.
He was 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, who was defeated and returned to Mongolia, died. Mongolia fell into division again.
However, Manduhai gave birth to eight sons to Dayan Khan, injecting new blood into the endangered Golden Family. It almost made a great contribution to the survival of the people. Together with Maria Theresa of the Habsburg family
Like the Queen, she continued the bloodline of the almost extinct Habsburg family.
After the death of Dayan Khan, Dayan Khan's youngest son Gezhenza ruled Khalkha, which was the territory of the three tribes in Outer Mongolia.
The great-grandson of Gezhenzha, 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 the Tatar rebellion and fought back against the Alatan Khan dynasty. But at this time, the Dayan Khan line became the orthodox emperor line of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
The strength is still there.
Even the right-wing Yongxiebu tribe and the Tumut people were beaten to Qinghai. How could he win? The result was a disastrous defeat, and Halahu La only escaped with his life.
But status is earned. The Junggar tribe has established prestige among the four Oirat tribes (Heshuote, Junggar, Durbot, and Turgut). The Wara people must not admit defeat. After they died first, they
I’m also fed up with the Tatar arrogance.
In 1623, the four Lats attacked the Alatan Khan dynasty together again. This time, they won, and Shuolei Ubash was killed. The Varas officially became independent from Tatar control.
At this time, the Shunyi king's line took advantage of the strength of Tumut's headquarters, and Ada 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. They were not attacked because they killed the lord of the Golden Family.
As his strength grew, Halahulan ruled the Kyrgyz people from the Abakan River to the Yenisei River Basin. He already had a strong capital and began to unify the Oirat.
Just like the unification of Germany, Austria must be excluded. One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers. In 1628 (the first year of Chongzhen), the Torgut tribe was forced to move westward to Europe.
In 1629, the Kushote leader Gushi Khan united with Harahula and attacked the Alatan Khan dynasty again. Alatan Khan II Ombu Erdeni was defeated again. This time the Oirat people completely controlled the Tianshan grassland.
In 1634, Harahu La passed away and was passed down to his eldest son Batur Hutaiji. And this Batur Hutaiji was Galdan's father.
The important task of unifying Oirat and Mongolia in Mongolia was completed by Galdan. The Junggar people subsequently fought repeatedly with the Qing Dynasty for a hundred years. It was not until Qianlong ordered that the last baby boy of the Junggar people be hanged with a bowstring. The Junggar people were completely annihilated before he was declared
