"The Ming army captured Yarkand and directly threatened our southern gate of Junggar. You all should discuss what should be done?" Sengge looked at everyone calmly.
In the main hall, senior Junggar officials such as Chuhuer Ubas, Dural Heshuoqi, Danjin Heshuoqi, Abaha, Mahan, Gelong Alarbai, Daibatur, Alarbai, etc. gathered together.
Even the two brothers of Sengge, Chechnya and Zot Babatur, who failed to compete for the throne and led their tribes to nomadic on the northern border, also came, which can be described as a big gathering of Junggar high-level officials.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Chuhu'er Ubas spoke first. He was Sengge's uncle and was highly respected. "Huntaiji is auspicious. The Ming army has strong soldiers and horses. We should not easily make enemies with them. It is better to make good friends with them to maintain peace on the border."
.
"Yes, Huitaiji, my Junggar tribe has never had any quarrel with the Ming Dynasty. As long as we restrain the tribesmen and don't provoke them, nothing will happen." Du Lale and Shuo agreed.
"Hahaha", Sengge laughed loudly, "When Genghis Khan conquered all countries, how could he be afraid? My ancestors from Junggar also captured the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and defeated him all the way to the gates of Beijing. As long as the Junggar warriors unite as one, Ming Dynasty will be conquered.
There is nothing to be afraid of."
This laughter was full of contagious power, and the spirits of the generals were immediately lifted when they heard it.
Sengge glanced at the generals one by one with sharp eyes like an eagle, and suddenly smiled: "Although I, Junggar, are not afraid of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is now very powerful, and it is unwise to provoke them directly. I heard that King Muhanmai of Hami
Tixia accepted the title of the Ming Dynasty, and it was clear that Hami was very close to Turpan. Turpan has always been rich, and it is also a newly acquired land for me in Junggar. The foundation is not deep, and there is no room for failure. I want to conquer Hami personally to protect it.
How about Turpan?"
"I am willing to follow Huitaiji to conquer Hami." The generals were inspired by Sengge and their fighting spirit was high.
Looking at the admiration in the eyes of the generals for Sengge, Chuhu'er Ubashi's heart trembled. When he was young, he was also a famous brave general in Junggar. He followed his brother Batur Hutaiji in the south and north, and made great achievements in battle. Later, he was a famous warrior in Junggar.
Batur died of illness, and his nephew Sengge succeeded to the throne. He thought that with his own prestige, the power of Junggar would naturally be in his hands. Unexpectedly, although this nephew was young, he was brave, good at fighting, and resourceful. Within a few years of taking the throne, his prestige had exceeded
He has a resolute personality and speaks the truth. If this continues, I am afraid that I will no longer have a voice in the tribe.
No, I must not let my nephew lead the army again. If he wins another battle, it will be more difficult for him to fight for power.
Chuhu'er Ubashi frowned, thought about it, and said with a smile: "Huntaiji, how can you kill a chicken with a bull's knife? I'm a little Hami, just send some generals to go on an expedition. Why do you need to do it yourself? A few days ago, we
Having offended the Rakshasa people, the Rakshasa people will not let it go with their virtues. If they take advantage of your army’s expedition to Hami to attack Boxeri, there will be trouble.”
Boxeri is a stone city. At that time, Sengge's father, Batur Hutai Jixiongcai, carried out a series of reforms. He wanted to imitate the Han people, build a city and settle down, and develop agriculture, so he built this city. Sengge inherited his father's policies.
The stone city was expanded and used as the capital. This city was good in everything, except that it was closer to the control area of the Rakshasa people. Ordinary mediocre lords would not use this as their capital. Sengge was a heroic lord and felt that it would be used as the capital.
As the capital, it can protect the northern frontier of the Junggar Khanate.
Hearing his uncle mention the Rakshasa people, the young Huitaiji began to think deeply. What his uncle said was not unreasonable! It seemed that only a few trusted generals were sent there.
He looked around the generals, and his eyes fell on the two generals Abaha and Mahan, "Abaha, Mahan, I intend to send you two to lead 10,000 troops to capture Hami. Do you dare to go?"
"The last general is willing to go through fire and water for the sake of Huitai Ji", and the two generals responded enthusiastically.
Seeing that Sengge immediately sent away two of his trusted generals, Chuhu'er Ubas was secretly happy. He rolled his eyes and offered another plan, "Huntaiji, Turpan is rich in products and is very important. A tiger must be sent to guard it."
That’s it”.
After the Sengge's confidant Erqabok was killed by Yarkand Ismail Khan, the Sengge sent troops westward from Turpan City in order to retaliate, captured the Chalishi area, and controlled the entire Turpan. Turpan is good.
This place, located on the Silk Road, also produces fruits and grains. With this place, Junggar's finances have been greatly enriched, so there must be no loss!
Seng Ge nodded and praised: "My uncle is really experienced in planning for the country. Dai Batur, you led five thousand soldiers and horses, but the garrison in Chali was weak; Gelong Alarbai, you led five thousand soldiers and garrisoned Turpan City." "I sincerely obey the order of Huitai Ji", the two generals took the order and left.
After returning home after the military meeting, Chuhu'er Ubas smiled and said to himself, "Nephew, nephew, although you are brave and invincible on the battlefield, you are a little naive in the ways of power and strategy, and you don't know the dangers of people's hearts. Those who are in power, are by your side.
You must leave heavy troops behind. You actually sent your trusted generals and elite soldiers to other places, and you are not far from death!"
In a power struggle, without any family affection, father and son can turn against each other, let alone uncle and nephew?
Chuhu'er Ubas had already had murderous intentions towards Sengge. However, this Sengge fought bravely and was victorious in every battle. He was regarded as the God of War by the Junggar people and had a high prestige among the tribesmen.
If you kill Sengge by yourself, it will definitely damage your reputation. No, you can't do this dirty thing yourself, you have to use someone else's help!
Being wily and scheming, he thought of his two other Chechen nephews, Zot Babatur, who had failed to compete with Sengge and had been nomadic on the northern border. They were both half-brothers of Sengge.
Being forced to lead his own Otok nomads in the north, he must have hated Sengge in his heart. It could be used as his own murderous knife.
Chuhuur Ubas went to Zhuot Babatur's big tent, where two brothers, Chechnya and Zhuot Babatur, were drinking.
"The two virtuous nephews are living happily, but do they have uncle's wine?" Chuhu'er Ubas laughed heartily.
"Oh, uncle is here. Please take a seat." The two of them hurriedly invited him in.
"Why are you so happy, drinking and celebrating?"
"Alas! Uncle, we are both out of power, how can we be happy? We are just drunk." Chechen has an upright temperament and speaks his mind directly.
The palace of Zhuote Babatur is deeper and silent.
"Hahaha, your opportunity has come, you must seize it," Chuhuer Ubas laughed.
"Uncle is joking. We can only let horses go in the north. Where is the chance?" The two of them looked sad.
"Haha, now that Sengge has sent his favorite generals to various places, there are not many strong generals and elite soldiers around him. Isn't this your opportunity?"
Zhuot Babatur's eyes lit up at first, and then he sighed: "Even though the fifth brother sent 20,000 elite soldiers, his troops are still stronger than ours, and there is Boxeri City to defend, so we may not have a chance!"
”
"It doesn't matter, you two can send a false message to Seng Ge, saying that the Rakshasa people are invading. With his temperament, he will definitely come to northern Xinjiang to inspect the terrain in person. By then, he will not have many personal guards with him, you two
If there are many people, they will send elite soldiers to ambush him. This will happen!" Chuhu'er Ubashi said with a smile.
