Chapter 289 Chahar New Great Khan
After leaving Xining Acropolis, there were Mongolians in front of them, and the white hats and the Tubo people were in the territory. However, at this time, the white hats were not as arrogant as later generations, and the Mongols suppressed the white hats here. The Mongols, like the Tubo people, believed in Lamaism, so the relationship between the Mongols and the Tubo people was relatively good. When White Hats and Tubo people were in conflict, the Mongols helped the Tubo people deal with the white hats.
Including the Western Regions of this era, it was actually the territory of the Mongols. There were Turks who caused trouble, but the Mongols were not ruthless in suppressing them.
In fact, compared to Jiannu and Tartars, Li Guodong was actually a little less fond of those who believed in the Tianfang Sect. He read some online articles in his previous life. It is said that in the 17th year of Chongzhen, a group of Tianfang Sect disciples attacked the capital. They opened the city gates for the thieves, which led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty. It is not a pity that the Ming Dynasty, which has become corrupt, was destroyed. The most pity is that the thieves failed to defend the capital and were stolen by Jiannu, and that was a disaster.
In winter, the grassland is covered with snow. Wherever the team passes, you can see patches of Mongolian and Tubo tribes from time to time.
"Who is coming! Why go deep into our army?" A Mongolian general led a thousand Mongolian soldiers in front of him, blocking the way Li Guodong and others.
Seeing that the figure of the Mongolian general was a little familiar, Li Guodong stepped forward and replied loudly: "I am Li Guodong, is you? Are you General Bada Xizhaisang?"
"So it's General Li! Please follow us quickly." Bada Xizhaisang hurriedly sent someone to lead Li Guodong and his group into the camp.
The Mongolians presented the white Hada, and bonfires were lit in the camp, with fragrant lambs roasted on them, and yak meat with strong beef aromas were boiled in the pot. The Fenjiu brought by Li Guodong, who brought the wine jar, opened and wafted out a rich fragrance, which made the Mongolians praise him.
A Tubo man cut a large piece of meat from the roasted lamb legs and presented it to Li Guodong.
"This is the mutton from the Tubo people, please try it." Bada Xizhaisang greeted enthusiastically.
Li Guodong asked about the fragrance, and couldn't wait to tear off a large piece of meat and stuff it into his mouth. The meat of the hidden lamb was roasted with charcoal fire, sprinkled with various spices, and of course the chili powder he brought. The fragrance came over from a distance. The mutton was roasted and tender on the outside. He tore off a piece of meat and dripped it off. Put it in his mouth and took it a bite. The fragrant juice flowed into his mouth, making people feel endless aftertaste.
"It's really delicious, it's better than the mutton on the Mongolian grassland!" Li Guodong ate a large piece of mutton.
Bada Xizhaisang nodded: "It's indeed better than our Mongolian mutton, but unfortunately this place is not the hometown of our Mongolians."
"Yes! The best place for the Mongolians is the Hetao Grassland." Li Guodong said with a smile.
"We also like the Hetao grassland, where the winter is warm and the water and grass is abundant. Crops can be planted along the river, and there is no need to buy food from Han merchants at high prices. So Dahan was determined to want the Hetao grassland, but unfortunately he met the powerful Later Jin."
"We have formed an alliance with the three Khans of Mobei to fight against the Later Jin! I hope that you Chahar people can also join this alliance and unite all the forces that can be united to deal with the Later Jin."
Bada Xizhaisang heard the word "Da Shen" and shed tears: "General Li, it's a pity that it's too late! Da Shen is no longer there! He had returned to Changshengtian's arms long before the beginning of winter."
Li Guodong had known that Lin Danhan was no longer alive, so he pretended to be surprised and was stunned for a while before he squirmed his lips and asked, "Where is such a big sweat son? You can make him the new big sweat!"
"Hey! Ezhe is young and ignorant. We Chahar people came to the West Sea. There are only a few remaining troops left. Six of the eight concubines were bewitched by Hai Lanzhu and wanted to surrender to the Jurchens! It was just that the weather was cold and they were unable to leave. When the spring of the next year begins, the six concubines will definitely leave the West Sea and join the Jurchens." Bada Xizhaisang sighed.
"Hai Lanzhu?" Li Guodong was stunned. According to the information of later generations, wasn't Hai Lanzhu Huang Taiji's concubine? How could he come to Qinghai?
Bada Xizhaisang nodded: "Although Hailanzhu is not one of the eight concubines, she is deeply loved by the Khan. Her sister Bumubutai is Huang Taiji's concubine! The sisters are united, so she naturally wants to lead the Chahar people to the Later Jin."
"Where can Hai Lanzhu and Ezhe be?" Li Guodong asked quickly, "We must not let Hai Lanzhu take all the six concubines to Jiannu! They must be stopped!"
"They are all by the West Sea. Now the West Sea is frozen, but they haven't walked away."
“How many ways is there to go to the West Sea?”
"About a hundred miles, cavalry can reach it in one day."
"Okay, then tomorrow we will rush to the West Sea to visit the new Dahan Ezhe."
The next morning, Li Guodong took his two hundred elite cavalry and followed Bada Xizhaisang and 500 Mongolian cavalry on a journey to the West Sea together.
The two hundred elite troops of Li Guodong's army rode the best Wuzhumuqin horses, and the Mongolians also rode the best Hequ horses, a hundred miles away. They set off in the morning and arrived at noon.
I am about to arrive in the West Sea, which is the Qinghai Lake in later generations. From a distance, I can see a huge and endless water area under the blue sky and white clouds. The edge of the water area and the junction of the land have been frozen. In the middle of the distant water area, there is a large blue water surface.
"Xihai! This is the West Sea!" Li Guodong pointed ahead and said to Han Dashan and the soldiers beside him.
"So beautiful!" Han Dashan looked at the holy and flawless waters under the blue sky and white clouds, and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
Along the vast coast of the West Sea, white Mongolian soldiers were scattered under the blue sky and white clouds. This was where the remnants of the Chahar people were located.
"Report to the Great Khan! General Li Guodong, the general of the West Attraction of the Ming Dynasty, came to visit the Ming Dynasty's quest." A Mongolian guard walked into Ezhe's golden tent and reported.
"Li Guodong?" Ezhe was stunned.
"Yes, it's Li Laoer, the old friend of Khan, who is the first to visit you, Khan."
"Let him in!" Ezhe said quickly.
Li Guodong walked into the golden tent of Chahar Khan, put his hand on his chest, bent down slightly and saluted Ezhe: "See Ezhe Khan!"
"Hey!" Ezhe smiled bitterly, "Father Khan has returned to the heaven of immortality. I am young and ignorant, so how dare I take the name of a great khan?"
"Don't you really want to be the Mongolian Khan?"
"Father Khan is gone, the Chahar tribe has dispersed. The two generals whom the father Khan trusted most, Tashhai and Huluk, have surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty. The fourth concubine of the father Khan, Bad Aobich, has already voted for the Later Jin Dynasty and has taken away some of the tribes. Even Lord Eji (mother) wants to surrender to the Later Jin Dynasty."
