On the Mongolian Plateau north of Datong Prefecture in Shanxi Province, Guihua City stands majestically.
General Dong E and Eshuo of Guihua City in the Qing Dynasty was busy preparing food, grass and weapons. As soon as he received the order from Emperor Shunzhi, he ordered people to start preparations. The main reason why he was so active was that he was the father of Shunzhi's favorite concubine Dong E.
A family with broken bones and tendons will naturally fight to the death to protect their son-in-law's country.
Guihua City is located near Xuanda and serves as a barrier to the capital. Emperor Shunzhi could not trust others, so he relied on his father-in-law to rest assured. He did not trust the wrong person. Dong E Eshuo, a man from the Zhengbai Banner, also followed Taizu and Taizong.
A veteran of the Northern and Southern War, he was awarded the title of First Class Elite Nehafan by the Minister of Internal Affairs for his merits. After arriving at Guihua City, he managed the Tumut Ministry and the Ulanqab Banner obediently.
The area near Guihua City used to be the territory of the Mongolian Tumut tribe, but now it is the Mongolian area that listens most to the Qing court. The five banners of the Ulanqab League are very respectful; the left and right wings of the Tumut tribe were directly established by the Qing court.
The management of the Dutong, Deputy Dutong, Shenling, Assistant Ling and other officials has been reduced to an internal banner that "a land and a person cannot be privately owned by me".
This matter is a long story.
I think back then, during the period of the Mongol hero Dayan Khan, the Tumut Tribe was one of the six most famous households, second only to the Chahar Tribe.
After the death of Dayan Khan, his grandson Altan Khan (Ananda Khan) took charge of the Tumut tribe. Like his grandfather, Altan Khan was also a male leader. Under his iron fist, the territory of the Tumut tribe reached east to east.
Outside Xuanhua Town, reaching around Wula Mountain in the west, and even as far away as Gansu and Qinghai areas, it was very powerful. In the fifth year of Longqing (1571), the Ming Dynasty named him "King of Shunyi". He built the majestic Guihua City
(Hohhot), and also left a good story with Sanniangzi.
No matter how great a lord is, he will eventually become old and sick. After Altan Khan died of illness, the once powerful Tumut tribe quickly fell apart and became a piece of loose sand.
Lin Dan Khan, a direct descendant of the Golden Family, rose up. He wanted to unify Mongolia and raised his saber against the unruly Mongolian tribes. Ombu Chuhuer, a nobleman of the Tumed tribe who was stationed in the Mantao area, and vassals of the Tumut tribe
Shanba, a nobleman of the Uliangha tribe, was afraid of being annexed by Lin Dan Khan and surrendered to Huang Taiji. Huang Taiji moved them to Liaodong and organized them into Tumote's left and right wing Zasak, called Dong Tumute.
The one left behind is naturally Situmut.
In the first year of Houjin Tiancong (1629), Lindan Khan of the Chahar tribe defeated the Kalaqin, Tumote and other tribes and occupied Guihua City (Hohhot). Tumote Boshu Ketu Khan (Altan Khan IV)
Sun) fled to Ordos and died, and his son Omubu defected to Houjin.
Huang Taiji had a very strategic vision, and he realized the strategic position of the Tumut region. From the north, he controlled Mobei and Moxi, and controlled Mongolia. In the south, he could compete with the Central Plains and attack the Ming Dynasty. In addition, the Tumut tribe was among the various Mongolian tribes.
Its status is second only to Chahar, the leader of the clan, and it has the power to command other Mongolian tribes. Therefore, this place must be firmly controlled by the Qing Dynasty.
In the sixth year of Tiancong (1632), he led a large army to conquer Lin Dan Khan in the west, occupied Guihua City, and controlled all the territory of the Tumote tribe. After defeating it, he was reluctant to leave, and ordered Yue Tuo to stay in Guihua City permanently.<
/p>
When a wolf takes a fancy to a sheep, it is natural that he will eat the sheep until no bones are left. Being good at playing tricks on people is a common characteristic of heroes in ancient and modern times. Huang Taiji has a way of treating the Tumut people.
First of all, they framed a descendant of the Golden Family, Omubu, the son of Tumote Boshuktu Khan, for treason, deposed the king, demoted him to a commoner, and gave him four garrison shepherds to support him in his old age. Poor Omubu, who originally treated the emperor
Tai Chi was regarded as the savior against Lin Dan Khan, but unexpectedly, Jiu took over Nestlé.
Secondly, the garrison. The army is permanently stationed in Guihua City, and the general of Guihua City is placed under its command. Anyone who dares to disobey Da Jin must be careful of Da Jin’s military might.
Thirdly, the Tumut people were used to control the Tumut people, and the civilians were used to control the nobility. He first divided the Xi Tumut into two internal banners on the left and right wings, and set up officials to manage them directly. Then he appointed two of Omubu's subordinates, Gu.
Luge and Hanggao were the left and right wing commanders. Luge and Hanggao were generals from common people, not nobles. Huang Taiji deliberately gave the Jin family and other big nobles the title of Taiji and put them under their banner.
Jurisdiction. The nobles were naturally unconvinced. If they wanted to consolidate their power, they could only rely on Houjin.
Again, add sand. In order to weaken the powerful Tumut tribe, Huang Taiji moved some small tribes into the Tumut area and gave them the rich water and grassland that originally belonged to the Tumut people. In the fifth year of Shunzhi (1648),
The three Urad flags were installed in the western and northwest territories of Tumut; in the sixth year of Shunzhi (1649) and the tenth year of Shunzhi (1653), the Siziwang Banner and the Right Wing Banner of Khalkha (Darhanbele) were respectively installed in the northern part of Tumut.
flag).
The Ulanqab League was also established. It managed the four princes' tribal banners, the Urad front banner, the Urad middle banner, the Urad rear banner, and the Khalkha right wing banner. Prince Darhan of the Khalkha right wing banner and Genghis Khan's 16th
His grandson Borjijin Bentar was the leader of the alliance. Historically, a few years later, the Qing government also moved the Maoming'an tribe into this area. In this time and space, due to the rise of Zhu Hengjia, this migration was interrupted.
.
After repeated efforts, the Tumut area became the Mongolian region most loyal to the Qing court. The Manchu Qing Dynasty not only directly governed the two banners on the left and right wings of Xi Tumut, but also used military force to intimidate the Urad tribe, the Siziwang tribe, and the Dar tribe.
Han tribe.
Dong E·E Shuo, the general of Guihua City, has three thousand Manchu and Mongolian eight banners in his hands. The two banners on the left and right of Xitumut under his direct jurisdiction have 156,000 herdsmen. The five banners of the Ulanqab League also have 156,000 herdsmen.
.
The Tumut people were easy to handle. Under his direct control, he directly ordered one of the ten soldiers to be recruited, and forced 7,000 warriors. Together with his own headquarters, he gathered 10,000 cavalry. The five flags of the Ulanqab League were in trouble
If so, you have to discuss it with their flag owner.
??
Eshuo sent people to invite the banner owners of the Three Urad Banners, the Siziwang Banner, and the Garle Right Banner to come to Guihua City to discuss matters.
Bentar, leader of the Ulanqab League, leader of the Garro Right Wing Banner, and Omubu, leader of the Siziwang Banner, came to Guihua City side by side.
Bentar repeatedly sighed: "What a majestic city outside the Great Wall! Seeing this city reminds me of Altan Khan's heroic appearance back then!"
Indeed, Altan Khan of the Tumut tribe was so majestic back then. His real name was Boljijin Gegen, Altan Khan, which means the khan of the golden family. Unlike ordinary people who lived by water and grass and moved around.
The Mongols were different. The Great Khan saw the benefits of building a city and took a fancy to Fengzhou Beach in the Chile River. This place is good. It is surrounded by the majestic Yinshan Mountains and lush grasslands to the north; it is bordered by the rolling Yellow River and the Ordos Plateau to the south.
Facing each other across the river; connected to the rolling Manhan Mountain in the east; connected to the Hetao in the west, it is the gateway to Ganning in the west. The land is fertile and irrigation is convenient, so Guihua City was built here.
"Yes! Altan Khan is truly a descendant of Genghis Khan, and this city is really grand." Omubu couldn't help but sigh.
Genghis Khan has many descendants. After Dayan Khan reunified Mongolia, five of the six great families he granted were from the Golden Family. The five flag owners of the Ulanqab League all had the same surname: Boer Jijin.
The difference lies in the Garro tribe. The leader of the Urad tribe is a descendant of Genghis Khan, while the leader of the Siziwang tribe is a descendant of Genghis Khan's younger brother Hasar.
Bentar and Omubu have a good relationship, mainly because the Darhan tribe and the Siziwang tribe both belong to the Gargar Wanhu. The Darhan tribe is called Gargar Right Wing, and the Siziwang tribe is called Alugargar. The two entered the general's mansion in Guihua City. Dong E, Eshuo and other generals had been waiting for a long time.
Everyone sat down according to the rules and discussed the military plan. Yes, according to the rules, after the Manchus entered the customs, they were no longer like the previous fishing and hunting era. Instead, they talked about the rules, and the seats were arranged strictly according to the rank.
Sitting in the main seat is naturally E Shuo, who represents Emperor Shunzhi.
The second seat is reserved for Bentar. He is the leader of the Ulanqab League and the prince of Heshuo Darhan. Although the Darhan tribe is only a small branch of the Tushetu Khan tribe with thousands of households descended from Khalkha, it has
But he is a descendant of Genghis Khan, so giving him a higher title will help win over the Mongols.
Then sat the banner owner of the Siziwang Banner, Omubu, the king of Doluo County. Omubu actually surrendered to the Qing Dynasty earlier than Bentar, but he was a member of the Golden Family, so he was only granted the title of prince. The Siziwang Banner was Genghis Khan's younger brother Hasa.
Er's descendant, Sun Naoyintai, the fifteenth generation of Hasar, granted the territory to his four sons, so it was called the Four Sons Tribe.
Behind them sit the three princes of the three banners of Urad: the front, middle and back banners. The lord of the middle flag is Tuba; the lord of the front flag is Eban; and the lord of the rear flag is Bakbahai. All three of them are
The descendants of Genghis Khan, however, were a little weaker. Each banner only had more than 20,000 people, so they only had the title of Duke. The Urad tribe was originally called Arumuji. Because the three flag owners were all Dukes of the country, they were called the Three Dukes of Urad.
flag.
Behind the three princes sat the Tumed left-wing banner commander Guluge, and the right-wing banner commander Boke. Both of them were civilians and were originally subordinates of the Tumut leader Ermubu. Huang Taiji took Ermu
After Bu was deposed as a commoner, he let his subordinates manage the left and right banners of Tumut.
Finally, there are some generals with lower positions, Bentar's younger brother Ben Bashxi, nephew Gunbu, Bock's son Guru, etc.
"Dear banner lords, the Ming army's east and west armies are approaching Shanxi. The emperor ordered me to lead the Tumote tribe and the Ulanqab League to rush for reinforcements. I have recruited 7,000 cavalry from the Tumote tribe. You all have discussed it, can you
How many troops and horses will be sent?"
Es Shuo's tone didn't sound like a discussion, but more like an order.
Bentar, Ombu, Tuba, Erban, and Bakba looked at each other. The Mongolian tribes in the Guihua City area are different from other tribes. Under the eyes of the general of Guihua City, the two Tumut banners are even more important.
Belonging to the banner, he was deeply controlled by the Qing court and did not dare to resist.
The five banner leaders discussed and finally decided to send 1,500 troops each to the Darkhan Banner, the Four Princes Banner, and 1,000 troops to each of the three Urad Banners, making up a total of 6,000 troops.
E Shuo was very satisfied and led 16,000 cavalry to help Shanxi.
??
In Yanchuan County, Shaanxi Province, Fan Youxian was leading an army of 50,000 people to confront Liu Wu, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army stationed in Pingyang. Suddenly, he heard that the Qing army had arrived with more than 10,000 reinforcements, all of them cavalry, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
"Commander, don't worry. These Mongolian soldiers are nothing to be afraid of. As long as one person is released and converted, they will inevitably be in chaos without fighting." Liu Dou, the newly appointed governor of Shanxi Province, offered advice.
Fan Youxian felt strange, "Oh, who are you putting back?"
"It's the pseudo-Qing garrison Mu Changjun Bao Bao who surrendered to you in Xi'an."
"Inclusive?"
Fan Youxian remembered that Bao Bao was a Mongolian Eight Banners general who surrendered in Xi'an. When the Ming army attacked Xi'an, Bao Bao saw that the situation was not good, so he led his 300 men to surrender without saying a word. He happened to need cavalry, so he sent him
Incorporated into the cavalry.
Liu Dou smiled and said, "The commander-in-chief does not know something. This man is the son of Omubu, the Hu chieftain of the Tumut tribe. If he is released back to Tumut, the Mongols will inevitably be in civil strife."
It turned out that although Ermubu was deposed as a commoner by Huang Taiji, after Dorgon came to power, in order to usurp the throne of Emperor Shunzhi, he reused the forces suppressed by Huang Taiji. Baoluo was incorporated into the Eight Banners of Mongolia and accompanied the Qing army to conquer Li Zicheng.
The military meritorious officer was awarded the title of garrison and animal husbandry chief. Liu Dou was on a mission to Mongolia and had some friendship with Omubu and his son.
After hearing Liu Dou's introduction to Bao Luo's situation, Fan Youxian was delighted, "I immediately let Bao Luo return to his original state, including his 300 subordinates."
