"Huntaiji, we have arrived at the Yemir River. The ruins in front of us are the ruins of Yemir City." Alalbai, the leader of Aimaq, said to Seng Ge respectfully.
Aimak means "tribe" in Mongolian. Each Aimak is equivalent to a small Uluse (Mongolian: crowd, fief). The length of this Aimak is equivalent to the chief of a small tribe, and his position is equivalent to that of the Yuan Dynasty.
Thousand Households in Mongolia.
During the Ming Dynasty, the various Mongolian tribes were actually various feudal lord groups of different sizes and sizes. Each feudal lord had a certain territory and "Ayinle" (herdsman). The large territory was called "Ulusi"
", generally the fiefdoms of the Mongolian Khans and big nobles. The Ulus is composed of Otok or Aimak. The difference between the two is that the "Ayinle" of each household that makes up the Otok is not necessarily
Belong to the same kinship group, and each "Ayinle" household that makes up Aimark belongs to the same kinship group.
Aimak can be big or small. Sometimes, an Aimako is an Otok, or even an Uluse; sometimes, several Aimaks make up an Otok.
There are only a few dozen Aimak in the entire Junggar. Those who can sit in this position are either nobles who have been passed down from generation to generation, or they are Hutaiji's confidants.
Alalbai was Sengge's confidant and a famous warrior in Junggar. Sengge liked him very much when he saw his bravery in battle, and promoted him step by step from the captain of ten to the leader of Aimaq.
"Oh, this is the ancient city where Yelu Dashi proclaimed himself emperor and established the Western Liao Kingdom?"
Seng Ge smiled slightly and said, "Let's go shopping with Ben Huitai Ji."
With their personal guards leading the way, Sengge and Aralbai visited the ancient city, but they couldn't help but feel sad when they saw ruins and overgrown weeds everywhere.
When the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Dashi, the eighth grandson of Yelu Abaoji, the Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, took the remnants of the Liao Kingdom and proclaimed himself emperor here, called "Ju'er Khan" and the Han name "God Bless the Emperor". He conquered the east and west, and established the
The famous Western Liao Kingdom.
"This place was once the foundation of King Hegemony, but unexpectedly it was so dilapidated!"
The monk couldn't help but sigh in memory of his predecessors.
"Boom~Boom~Boom~"
Suddenly there was a loud burst of artillery fire, and the Junggar army was caught off guard and fell into chaos, leaving many dead and injured.
"Rakshasa!"
Sengge's eyes narrowed and he thought to himself: How did the Rakshasa people know about my arrival?
The cannonballs were followed by a hail of arrows.
"Whoosh", a random arrow fell at Sengge's feet.
The young Huetaiji was shocked. The Mongolian arrows were actually arrows used by the Mongols!
The two sides of this arrow are sharpened, like a sword with edges on both sides. Mongolians keep a file in their quiver to sharpen the arrowhead at any time, so the arrowhead is extremely sharp. The arrowhead is made of iron and is flat.
The arrows are in the shape of a peach leaf, with feathers at the tail and strong feathers. They use kite feathers. Mongolian arrows only use kite feathers or carved feathers. It is precisely because the Mongols are extremely particular about bows and arrows that Mongolian archers are impressive on the battlefield.
They are intimidated. It has been documented that they can hit targets one mile away. When the distance exceeds 400 meters, the lethality of Mongolian arrows is greater than that of American rifles in later generations.
Seng Ge's men used their bows to shoot at each other, arrows against arrows. Both sides used Mongolian arrows.
Sengge's heart grew colder and colder.
Enemies gradually appeared on all sides, with pointed helmets, sabers, and spears. They turned out to be Junggars!
"Fifth brother, you have been surrounded. Put down your weapons and spare your life." Sengge heard a familiar voice and followed the sound. It turned out to be his half-brother Drote Babatur.
"Sengge, you can't escape. We are surrounded by our people. Hurry up and surrender." Another Chechen half-brother was also shouting.
These two rebels!
Seng Ge was extremely angry. He should have killed these two brothers who failed to compete with him for the throne. He cared about his brotherly love and did not want to bear the name of killing his brothers, so he just banished them far away to the north as nomads.
I was still submissive in the year, but unexpectedly today I have regained my wolfish ambition, intending to murder myself and seize the position of Huitai Ji.
"As Ben Huitaiji advances, whoever kills these two thieves will be granted a thousand households." Seng Ge roared loudly, leaped his horse and bent his bow, galloping towards the two brothers.
He held the horse's belly between his legs, fired his bow from left to right, and shot several people in succession.
In a moment, he broke into the enemy's formation. He abandoned his bow and replaced it with a sword and spear. He rode a lance with his left hand and killed people with his spear and spear. He used a long sword in his right hand, which he used to injure people.
Seeing Huetaiji's bravery, Aralbai and other cronies rose up to follow him. In the blink of an eye, they rushed into the center of the formation and fought to the front of Chechnya.
There is no tenderness in the struggle for power. Although they are half-brothers, they are more ruthless than enemies.
Thinking of the old account of being demoted to northern Xinjiang by Sengge to blow the cold wind all these years, Chechen's eyes turned red and he raised his spear to stab Sengge.
Sengge snorted coldly, raised his spear with his left pistol, and slashed down with the sword in his right hand like lightning.
"Yeah!"
The Chechen screamed, let go of his spear to save his life, lowered his body, and galloped away on his horse.
Sengge couldn't catch up and cut off the Chechen general's flag with a knife. After defeating the Chechen, he went towards Zhuote Babatur.
Seeing that he was coming with such ferocity, Drote Babatur hurriedly ordered them to line up and fire cannons.
"Aim at the one in yellow armor and shoot me hard." Zhuot Babatur smiled grimly.
"Bah~bah~bah~"
The dull sound of gunfire continued.
Sengge only felt a pain in his left arm, and his shoulder blade was shot; there was another shock, and a hole was shot in his abdomen. He fell to the ground on the spot.
"Huntaiji!"
Aralbai and others hurriedly helped Sengge up.
"I can't do it anymore. Please go find my sixth brother Galdan as soon as possible and let him inherit the position of Huitaiji." After saying this, the heroic Junggar Tiger Sengge breathed his last and died miserably among his two fellow Junggar tribe members.
In the hands of his half-brother.
Aralbai picked up Sengge's body with tears in his eyes and fought desperately to break out.
Helpless, the rebels were worried not to see Sengge's body and pursued them closely. In the end, Aralbai failed to break out. Except for a few of the 3,000 personal guards who escaped, most of them were killed on the banks of the Yemir River.
"Hahaha! Sengge, Sengge, aren't you crazy? Did you expect that this would happen?" Looking at his brother's body, Chechen laughed.
"Brother, now is not the time to be happy. We must capture the city of Boxeri immediately to stabilize the overall situation. Uncle Chuhuur Ubashi has sent his internal staff to support us in the city. It is not too late!" Zhuote Babatur said to him.
Chechnya said.
"What you said is that without further delay, let's set off immediately."
The two led their troops and horses, taking advantage of the strong snow and wind, to rush to the gate of Boxeri City.
Danzin and Shuoqi, who were guarding Boxeri, did not expect the fire in the backyard and hurriedly asked people to close the city gate. However, they heard a noise, and the rebels responded internally, killed the guards, and opened the north gate.
Danjin and Shuoqi rushed left and right, but failed to rush out and died tragically in the chaos.
??
On the banks of the Irtysh River, outside the largest golden tent, soldiers armed with sharp swords patrolled the surrounding area and were heavily guarded.
With a face full of vicissitudes of life, Chu Huer Ubas held Buddhist beads and chanted silently. When he was young, he killed countless people. When he was old, he believed in Buddhism and was compassionate. He became a famous amiable elder and a good man in the Junggar tribe.
"Eqige (ancient Mongolian: father), Chechen, and Zhuote Babatur's two brothers sent letters saying that Sengge is dead and please go to Boxeri to take charge of the overall situation." The fifth son Luobuzang Elinqin was very excited.
Came in.
"Tell them that when I get old, I just want to retire by the Irtysh River. The affairs of Junggar depend entirely on them." After finishing speaking, Chuhu'er Ubas narrowed his eyes and twisted his beads.
"Eqi Ge, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Luo Bu Zang E Linqin said reluctantly.
Chuhu'er Ubas sighed secretly in his heart, the fifth son fought bravely, but it was a pity that he did not understand politics and could not hold a big position!
Suddenly he opened his eyes and stared at his eldest son with all his eyes. This was the hope of the family's future. "Bagabandi, tell me, why didn't my father go to Boxeri?"
"Eqige, Chechen and Zhuotbabatur are guilty of the following crimes and are unpopular. If you go to Boxeri, the people will definitely think that you and they conspired to kill Sengge Hutaiji, which is harmful to the public.
Your famous name is one of them. Chechnya and Zhuot Babatur have long been interested in the position of Huitai Ji. The so-called asking you to take charge of the overall situation is just to test you. If you go, they will definitely work with you.
The enemy. It is better to stay in the garrison and pasture land and wait and see what happens."
"Yeah." Chu Hu'er Ubas couldn't help but nodded. The boss is much stronger than the fifth boss, and he has a successor.
"Eqi Ge, are we just going to wait like this and do nothing?" Luo Bu Zang E Linqin yelled unwillingly.
Chu Hu'er Ubas smiled and said, "Sometimes, doing nothing is doing. I won't go to Boxeli. On the one hand, I will show to your two brothers that I have no ambition to compete for the position of Huitaiji; on the other hand, I will also show to the whole Junggar people
It shows that they and I are not in the same group. Sengge is dead and his tribe is scattered. Seeing that I and them are not in the same group, more and more Sengge’s old tribe will defect to me. When I accumulate enough strength,
, when will it be easy to go to Boxeri?"
"I pray for Ge Yingming," the two sons praised sincerely.
