Chapter 656 Too close to the Ming Dynasty, too far from the Qing Dynasty

Sun Sike's move caught Kangxi by surprise!

It also drove the Junggar King Cewang Alabutan and his Junggar soldiers crazy!

I worked hard outside, but my hometown was stolen by the Qing people. Who can withstand this!

"Prince, don't worry, it's really time to give up on the Junggar grassland. It's too close to the Ming Dynasty and too far from the Qing Dynasty."

"How about this? I will allocate a part of the grassland in the Kazakh grassland for you!"

After all the hard talk, the Kangxi Khan managed to appease Cewang Alabutan.

Since neither the Qing Dynasty nor the Ming Dynasty used swords or guns against Dzunggar, Sun Sike took the opportunity to develop a wave.

His son Sun Chengen led troops to sweep away the Heshuote forces in Qinghai. The Heshuote forces in Qinghai were nothing compared to the Green Camp after the Mingwu Movement.

One of the reasons why Pan Aqiang's military operations in Lhasa went particularly smoothly was that part of the Kashote Khanate's troops fell in Qinghai.

With Qinghai and Junggar, Sun Sike's position as Great Khan is more justified.

After consolidating the position of the Great Khan, Sun Sike sent envoys to proclaim his vassalage to the Kangxi Khan on the one hand and to the Ming Dynasty on the other.

Kangxi Khan had no energy left to beat them, so he had to hold his nose and acknowledge his position.

The Ming Dynasty was not used to them. Just after the spring of the 10th year of Shenwu, the Ming army stationed in Xining began to show their strong strength to the Mongols in the Qinghai area after a period of training.

Under the leadership of veteran Huang Qing, the 40,000-strong Ming Dynasty National Defense Force bypassed the beautiful Qinghai Lake and advanced to the west.

At the same time as he sent out troops, he sent several envoys to spread the message to various places, asking the Mongolian tribes in Qinghai to surrender.

After the proclamation was issued, the Mongolian tribes who settled in the Qinghai Lake area did not resist. They were closest to the Ming Dynasty and knew the strength of the Ming army best.

The area where Qinghai Lake and Xining are located is also called Huangshui Valley, which is a relatively suitable area for living and grazing in Qinghai.

Last summer, a group of Mongolian herders in the Huangshui Valley held a Naadam Conference nearby.

Naadam is also called "Nayar", Mongolian, which means entertainment or gathering.

It is held between the seventh and eighth months of the lunar calendar every year. The duration of the conference depends on the scale of the Naadam Conference, ranging from one to seven days.

The Naadam Conference is usually held at the same time as the Aobao sacrifice, so it is also called "Aobao Nayar".

Naadam is a gathering where tribesmen from different grasslands compete with each other for cattle and sheep fattening, showing the tribe's three major sports: horse racing, archery and wrestling.

At the Naadam Conference, they would definitely drink afterward. Because they were drunk, they felt that the world belonged to them. They wanted to restore the achievements of their ancestor Genghis Khan, so they agreed to attack the Ming army's garrison with swords.

That night, nearly a thousand herdsmen rushed towards the Ming army's garrison, and the result is self-evident.

These herdsmen were beaten into pieces, and no one survived.

Therefore, the Naadam Conference in the Huangshui Valley has, in a sense, become a memorial day for many herdsmen. The terror of the Ming army made them unable to arouse their desire for revenge, and the tribes in the Huangshui Valley have been defeated.

Under the threat of the Ming Dynasty's military front, these Mongolian tribes who settled in the Huangshui Valley took the lead in sending envoys to express their surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

The second son of Sun Sike, who was the first to fight against the Ming army under Huang Qing's command, was Taiji Sun Chengyun of the Junggar Khan.

After the Mongolian tribes in the Huangshui Valley surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, the Han Taiji quickly mobilized all the troops in Qinghai to prevent those tribes from rebelling.

If the Sun family cannot defeat them and run away, then which tribe in the Junggar prairie will listen to them?

Anyway, they are not leading the Green Camp Guards. The roots of their Sun family are Green Camp Guards. As long as the Green Camp Guards are still there, it will not cause any harm.

Sun Chengyun led a group of Mongolian cavalry to attack one of the surrendered tribes. The tribe resisted and asked for help from the Ming Dynasty.

After Huang Qing heard about it, he immediately sent the famous northwest general Gao Meng to lead 10,000 forwards to support him. Huang Qing had only one request: to kill him.

On April 21, the Ming Dynasty's forward troops met the Mongolian tribes asking for help on the south side of Qinghai Lake.

The cavalry led by Han Tai Ji Sun Chengyun was not far away.

The battle between the two sides is about to break out.

In order to deal with the cavalry, the rifles of the Ming Dynasty National Defense Force armed with lightning-operated rifles (Mine guns) were arranged in a long queue. They looked at the Mongolian cavalry galloping towards them in the distance, with happy and unafraid expressions on their faces.

"Unload the artillery! Unload the artillery!"

Under the urging of the officers, the Wehrmacht artillerymen busily unloaded forty 12-pound field guns from the carriages.

The artillerymen struggled to push the field artillery. As they exerted their strength, the veins on their arms popped out, and the strong muscles also bulged high.

Soon, the cannon was adjusted, and its dark muzzle was aimed at the Mongolian cavalry led by Sun Chengyun.

Gao Meng put his hands behind his back and looked at the Mongolian cavalry in the distance with a telescope expressionlessly.

Before Gao Meng surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, he was Sun Sike's subordinate. This time he would not show mercy to the Sun family.

While the Ming army was busy up and down, the Mongolian cavalry galloping across from them fell into a dilemma of whether to fight or not.

The leader, Tai Jisun Chengyun, a Han man, reined in his horses. He raised his right hand and signaled the cavalry behind him to stop together.

The Ming army is no longer invincible, but is invincible. One man is as strong as five barbarians. He only has 2,000 cavalry in hand, and there are 10,000 Ming troops on the opposite side!

Sun Chengyun, who was cautious by nature, decided to retreat. Although the Mongols were free to take their own lives, at least they listened to themselves and could not let them die!

With the cheers of the Mongols, he ordered two thousand cavalry to use the advantage of their horses to hang the Ming army from a distance. They must not engage in firefights with the opposite side, and must keep at least one mile away!

And he himself rode his horse back to the main force in Qinghai a few miles away, and brought the main force over to transport the Ming army to a battle!

Sun Chengyun crossed a small hillside and saw a huge army heading east. This army included almost all the troops in Qinghai, with more than 10,000 Mongolian cavalry and more than 20,000 infantry.

This is the force assigned to him by his father, Sun Sike, to guard Qinghai.

By the way, there are two thousand green battalion line infantry among the infantry, which is the most powerful force in Qinghai.

Seeing his main force in Qinghai, Sun Chengyun finally cheered up. There were only 10,000 people on the opposite side, but he had 30,000. Does the advantage lie with me?

After thinking about it for a while, if we don't fight, people's hearts will be scattered. Let's fight!

At worst, he couldn't defeat him, so he took the green battalion soldiers and ran away, fled back to the Junggar grassland, and met up with his father.

If he wins, he will become famous in one battle, and it is unlikely that he will be able to surpass his brother Sun Chengen in the future and inherit the throne of the Great Khan of Junggar.

Gritting his teeth, Sun Chengyun finally ordered the army to move forward and fight to the death with the Ming army!

Two hours later, when the main force of Qinghai joined the cavalry forward, and when the Han Taiji got closer to the Ming army and could see clearly the appearance of the Ming National Defense Force, he already began to regret it!
