I just heard Dulbert Khan report to Li Dingguo: "Zasak Tuhan and Tushetu Khan from Mobei are spending the winter with my tribe. As a meeting gift for my tribe's submission to the Ming Dynasty, they also invited the Marquis.
Send someone to retrieve it quickly!”
"What?" Li Dingguo was a little surprised when he heard this, and immediately confirmed, "You said that Zasak Tuhan and Tuxie Tuhan from Mobei are both in your Dulbert tribe?"
After saying that, thinking about it carefully, it doesn’t seem strange.
In such a cold winter, they lost their herds and would definitely not be able to spend the winter in Mobei. So they would have no choice but to go west or east, join other tribes, or rob other tribes' herds to survive. When they arrived at Dulbert Tribe, that is,
It's a normal thing.
Thinking about this, Li Dingguo couldn't help but feel very happy. For these people on the grassland, they often have no place to find them even if they wear iron shoes. Unexpectedly, they were treated as a meeting gift by Dulbert Khan. In this way, the three tribes of Mobei became
It's almost solved.
After Dulbert Khan confirmed again, Li Dingguo was obviously much happier than before, and immediately said to Dulbert Khan: "I will send troops to your tribe immediately. As long as we can really capture them, your great contribution will definitely be indispensable.
I believe the emperor will be very happy!"
Dulbert Khan was happy after hearing this, but he still had something to say, so he continued to say to Li Dingguo: "Master Marquis, I may be able to persuade the Heshuote tribe who stayed in the west to submit to the Ming Dynasty.
But the Jungar tribe may not be able to do that."
Gushi Khan was the Great Khan of the Heshuote Tribe and the Great Khan of the four tribes of Wasac. However, he was keen on religious wars and led the elites of the Heshuote Tribe to the Qinghai-Tibet front line. Therefore, the Heshuote Tribe was very powerful.
Even if it falls, it can't keep up with Dulbert's team.
After Gushi Khan led his troops away, the Jungar tribe in Wasi was the strongest.
Dulbert Khan has long seen that the Jungar tribe took the lead in reconciling with the Khalkha tribe in Mobei, signing a code of law, and advancing and retreating together. All these are actually quite ambitious. If you want to let the Jungar tribe
It is not that easy for your tribe to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
And he was confident of persuading the Heshuo Special Division to surrender, which was greatly reduced in strength. This was equivalent to another achievement for him. Coupled with the meeting gift, this was the confidence for him to choose to go to the capital to enjoy the glory and wealth.
As for the Torgut tribe in Wasi, they were too far away from Guihua City and were all in the Volga River Basin, so he didn't mention it at all.
At this time, after hearing his words, Li Dingguo could not help but be even more happy and said: "Your Majesty has always thought of recreating the Western Regions of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and even far surpassing the Han and Tang Dynasties. These achievements of yours will help your Majesty's wish come true as soon as possible.
.I believe that His Majesty will be very happy after receiving the report!"
Among the Northwest Army, a few generals who had been in the capital before, as well as high-ranking officials in the border areas, such as the Governors of the Three Borders, the Governors of Gansu and the Governors of Yansui, etc., all knew that Emperor Chongzhen wanted to rebuild the Tang Dynasty Protectorate, and even went one step further.
.All current strategies are actually planning for this goal.
These things of Dulbert Khan have made it possible to achieve this goal a lot ahead of schedule. As a commander-in-chief, he is absolutely happy.
Gao Yigong and others, who were eager to achieve military success, were equally happy after hearing Li Dingguo's words. Although Dulbert's tribe and Heshuote's tribe might not be able to fight, since the emperor wanted to conquer the entire Western Region or even more,
Then they won't have to worry about having no battles to fight.
Suddenly, everyone in the lobby was very happy.
Later, Li Dingguo ordered two troops, Tian Jianxiu and Gao Yigong, and a total of 10,000 cavalry troops followed Dulbert Khan back in the snow to collect the gifts.
Among these two troops, Li Dingguo also made some adjustments after considering it. In addition to the Han army, the cavalry officers and soldiers of the three tribes in Mobei were mainly those who had made meritorious deeds in the Battle of Mobei.
Soon, Dulbert Khan led 10,000 Ming cavalry troops and rushed back to his tribe in the snow.
……………………
Let's talk about Zasak Tuhan and Tuxie Tuhan. After spending the winter in Dulbert's tribe, they slowly began to feel that something was wrong.
Although Dulbert Khan shied away from the heavy snow road closure and did not want to send people to contact other Waqi tribes, which made them both very dissatisfied, after all, under their roof, they had no way to continue urging them and had to wait until the snow fell.
, or next spring, then Dulbert Khan will definitely have no excuse.
In the beginning, Dulbert Khan met with them every now and then to chat and so on; therefore, although he restricted their movements, he didn't think much about it.
However, later on, Dulbert Khan gradually stopped seeing them. As time went by, they became a little depressed. Even if Dulbert Khan was not hospitable, he would not have not shown up for a long time!
After all, of the two of them, one is Tuxie Tuhan, the Khan with the largest population among the three tribes in Mobei; the other, Zasak Tuhan, is the leader of the alliance jointly recommended by the three tribes in Mobei; although the tiger has fallen into Pingyang now,
But it’s not like he’s been left out in the cold, right?
Therefore, both Tuxietu Khan and Zasaktu Khan asked the people in Dulbert's department who protected them about the situation. However, the answers they received were that Dulbert Khan was not feeling well, so
I have been recovering from illness these days.
After hearing this excuse, the two of them believed it at first. However, after a while, there was still no trace of Durbot Khan, so they asked again and even proposed that they wanted to see Durbot Khan.
Tehan.
Needless to say, their request was still rejected.
By this time, both Tuxietuhan and Zasaktuhan felt something was wrong. They wanted to see each other because they lived separately, but the result was still not allowed; they wanted to see their subordinates, but they still couldn't.
Not allowed.
By this time, they really felt that something was wrong.
But for a while, they couldn't figure out why Dulbert Khan had put them under house arrest.
Do you see that they no longer have tribes, so you stop treating them as human beings?
This shouldn't be the case, right?
Does that mean they are interested in Mobei and want to occupy it?
However, the deserted Mobei is not as suitable for grazing as the place where the Dulbert tribe is, right? Their tribal population is not so large that they need to move to the more remote Mobei?
After thinking about it, both of them were a little confused. They didn't know what Dulbert Khan was planning.
Based on their own experiences, they never thought that Dulbert Khan might go to the Ming Army!
Because in their view, the Ming army could accept the surrender of ordinary herdsmen, but would not accept the surrender of Mongolian nobles; otherwise, they would not ask any questions and just raid one tribe after another in Mobei.
Although neither Zasak Tuhan nor Tushetu Khan could figure out what Dulbert Khan wanted to do, they knew that it would definitely not be a good thing for them.
The two of them were not fuel-efficient. On the surface, they pretended to have no choice but to accept the reality, but in fact, they began to secretly plan to run away.
They first used the belongings they carried with them to try to bribe the people who protected them; but these people were the confidants of Dulbert Khan, who had repeatedly confessed before Dulbert Khan left. Therefore, Zasak
The bribes of Tuhan and Tuxie Tuhan were ineffective.
When their plan failed, they began to pretend to be sick and contact their subordinates;
With this move, the people of the Dulbert tribe who "protected" them had nothing to do.
As long as you insist on being sick, with the medical skills on the grassland, you will definitely not be able to confirm that you are pretending to be sick; and you are afraid of an accident. If everyone is dead, Dulbert Khan will not be able to explain it when he comes back.
As a result, Zasak Tuhan and Tushetu Khan successfully met their subordinates. After avoiding the people who "protected" them and communicating secretly, they suddenly launched an attack one evening.
In the yurt, watching the Dulbert tribe captured by his son, Zasak Tuhan Subadi immediately began to interrogate Dulbert Khan and asked him about the real situation.
Naturally, Dulbert Khan would not be stupid enough to tell everyone about his whereabouts, let alone the people who were guarding the three Mobei tribes. Among the entire tribe, the only people who knew the whereabouts of Dulbert Khan were the ones he left behind to preside over
The son of the overall situation.
Therefore, even if Subadi interrogated him again, he would only know that Dulbert Khan had not appeared for many days. As for whether he was sick, he didn't know.
Subadi couldn't ask anything. Although it was still completely white outside, he didn't dare to stay any longer.
Taking advantage of the cover of night, they secretly rescued Tushetu Khan, and then the two of them took dozens of men and marched westward in the snow, hoping to join the Jungar tribe. Because Subadi had the best relationship with Jungar Khan.
.He did not believe that he would receive such inexplicable treatment in the Jungar Department.
The snow on the grassland is waist deep in many places, and in some places it may even cover the top of a person's head, or even reach the knees. If you are not familiar with the terrain, the consequences may be very serious.
Going out into the wild during this season involves taking a lot of risks. If you do anything wrong, you will probably end up in the wild.
After escaping for a while, the group of people couldn't stand it anymore. They hurried on one step at a time, one step at a time, one step at a time, one step at a time, which consumed their physical strength. The howling cold wind also made their journey even more difficult.
When it got dark, Subadi and others discovered that they had escaped all night and could still vaguely see Dulbert's yurt in the distance;
In other words, they escaped all night and didn't get very far at all.
"Forget it, why don't we leave?" Tuxie Tuhan was a little frustrated and said to Subadi, "We are not familiar with the terrain and we don't have much food with us. If we continue like this, we may die even if there are no pursuers.
We are on the way! Why not go back and insist on seeing Dulbert Khan and ask for an explanation in person!"
After finishing speaking, seeing that Subadi did not speak and seemed to disagree, he continued: "Before the snow melts in the spring, Dulbert Khan will definitely not be able to go anywhere else. We strongly request that he
