Chapter 704 Horqin Department(1/2)

Under the blue sky, on the vast prairie, a line of red torrent rushed forward like a pack of wolves or a tiger.

The sound of thousands of horses galloping rumbled, and scarlet dragon flags fluttered in the wind under the blue sky.

"Spread out and surround this place, order Ujumqin to be the vanguard, I want to see if they are qualified warriors."

Zhu Cixiang gave an order, and one hundred thousand Ming army cavalry quickly dispersed and surrounded Horqin's headquarters from all directions.

The messenger immediately conveyed the order to Bactu:

"Baktu, His Majesty has an order, ordering you to lead tribal warriors to attack Horqin Station. Whether we can fully accept you depends on today's battle!"

"Got the order!"

Bactu waved his hand to his cavalry and issued an order:

"Wuzhumuqin warriors, the time has come for revenge. Follow our leader to kill Gouri Horqin..."

"yes!"

More than 2,000 Ujimqin cavalrymen, led by Baktu, rushed towards the Horqin tribe's camp, with their leader Baktu leading the charge.

Seeing a Horqin cavalry trying to escape, he immediately drew his bow and arrows:

"Whoosh..."

"puff……"

Hassan had just rushed out about ten steps when an arrow accurately hit the back of his head.

How could Hassan, who was not wearing a helmet, resist this arrow? The arrow came out directly through his head...

When the herdsmen around them saw the Ujumqin cavalry rushing towards them, they all mounted their horses, drew their swords and held their bows, and in an instant they gathered into a fast-moving Mongolian cavalry.

This cavalry drew a beautiful arc on the withered yellow grassland and went straight to the red iron stream Ujimqin cavalry in front...

Before the attack, all the cavalrymen of the Ujimqin tribe had tied red belts on their right arms to make them easier to identify by the Ming army.

Otherwise, the Tatar soldiers all look the same, and their attire and appearance are similar. The Ming army really doesn't know which one to fight, and they will definitely kill Ujimqin's cavalry in the melee.

There were about 500 Horqin cavalry who came to meet the enemy. Although they were small, they knew that there were only about 2,000 Ujimqin cavalry, and Horqin reinforcements would soon come to support them, so they were not afraid.

Bactu held a scimitar in each hand. As soon as his horse rushed to the Horqin cavalry, the two scimitars brought up two clouds of blood mist, and he killed the two Horqin cavalry off their horses.

After instantly killing two Horqin cavalry, Baktu immediately rushed to the next Tatar, swung the sword again and beheaded the man under the horse, then clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and once again rushed in front of a Horqin cavalry, a cold light flashed

However, this Horqin cavalryman was split in half with a knife...

Seeing how fierce their leader was, the Ujumqin cavalry following Baktu, in order to leave a good impression on the Ming Emperor, all of them had high morale and fought fiercely with the Horqin cavalry regardless of their own safety...

A Ujimqin cavalryman slashed a Horqin cavalryman over with a sword. Before he could put away his sword, a scimitar hit him on the back. He yelled, and slashed back to kill the Horqin cavalryman who attacked him. Then two people

Almost at the same time, he fell off his horse...

Fighting among Mongolian tribes is often like this. There is no rules and regulations, and people are killed when they see them.

The Ujimqin cavalry fought for survival. They were originally more brave than the Horqin cavalry, and now their number was three times greater.

About a stick of incense, five hundred Horqin and five hundred cavalrymen were killed, more than three hundred people were killed, and the remaining more than a hundred cavalrymen fled in fear...

"Where to run..."

Seeing that the Tatars wanted to escape, Aktu immediately led his cavalry to pursue them. At this moment, Cao Bianjiao led the tiger and leopard cavalry to rush up quickly...

It was only then that these Horqin cavalry discovered that it was not just the Ujimqin cavalry who came, but also the endless torrent of Ming steel as far as the eye could see...

Seeing some scattered Horqin cavalry fleeing in all directions, the front row cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry did not pursue them. Instead, they raised their cavalry muskets and pulled the trigger on the more than a hundred Horqin people:

"Bang bang..."

A burst of gunfire rang out, and more than a hundred Horqin people were killed...

Let Bakutu be the vanguard, Zhu Cixiang just tested their combat effectiveness and execution ability, and found that all the Ujimqin cavalry were brave and no one was afraid of death.

Zhu Cixiang was worried that the two thousand men would rush into the camp and be destroyed by Horqin, so he immediately ordered Cao Bianjiao to go up and support them.

Almost at the same time, Huang De led the Huben army cavalry to attack the left wing, Sun Yingyuan led the Longteng army cavalry to attack the Horqin army's right wing, and Meng Ruhu led the Hubao cavalry to make a detour, preparing to block the back road of Horqin camp...

Like a torrent of red steel, the cavalry from all walks of the Ming army rushed towards Horqin's station from four directions...

Because all the peripheral reconnaissance cavalry were defeated by the Ming army at night, Prince Tuxietu of the Horqin tribe and Wu Keshan did not receive information about the Ming army's incoming attack.

They began to hear shouts of killing not far away. They thought it was a sneak attack by the Ujimqin tribe. Prince Tuxietu didn't pay much attention to it. He planned to send five thousand cavalry to surround and kill the Ujimqin cavalry. This time they would definitely give them a chance.

No return.

A small tribe with only 2,000 cavalry came to Horqin for a sneak attack. To the powerful Horqin tribe, the Ujimqin tribe was like moths rushing to the flames, seeking their own destruction...

It wasn't until I heard the sound of gunfire that I realized something was wrong. Ujimqin's tribe had no muskets at all. Could it be that the Ming army was attacking? How could this be possible? Wasn't the Ming army still fighting the Qing Dynasty in Liaodong?

Prince Tuxietu led the Horqin cavalry who had just escaped from Shengjing. When he heard the gunfire, he immediately thought of the Ming Army musketeers. His old soul was almost scared away, and he hurriedly discussed with Wu Keshan:

"Quickly gather all the troops and prepare to fight the Ming army. Where have Horqin's scouts gone? Why did the Ming army kill Horqin without seeing a single scout to report..."

Wu Keshan said hurriedly:

"Obviously Horqin's scout cavalry have been killed by the Ming army. It is not easy to assemble all the cavalry in a short time. It is best to use the existing troops to ambush in the camp. When the enemies outside rush in, we will shoot them into hedgehogs with thousands of arrows...

…”

Prince Tuxietu did not dare to face the Ming army directly. He had personally seen the Ming army brutally brutalizing the slave-building Eight Banners Manchu soldiers. They had no hope of fighting the Ming army in a field battle. He nodded hurriedly:

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay, then do as you say, and we will be responsible for the arrangements separately..."

The Horqin camp is not just here. This is just the headquarters. There are tens of thousands of people in several other places.

Zhu Cihong handed them over to the Xuanfu soldiers and mounted infantry of the Qin army to eliminate them. His own targets were Prince Aoba of Tuxietu and Wu Keshan.

Wu Keshan was able to become the first hereditary prince of Mongolia, a highly respected minister, and favored by all, because he had a shortcut to success, and the glory of four women shone on him alternately.

The first woman was Wu Keshan’s aunt Zhezhe.

Zhezhe was Queen Xiaoduanwen of Huang Taiji. Although Ming Anbeile of the Horqin tribe also married his daughter to Nurhachi, Ming An's daughter was only a side wife and was incomparable with the queen.

Wu Keshan's aunt brought the first wealth to his family. Because of this relationship, Wu Keshan's grandfather Mang Gusi was posthumously named Prince Heshuofu by Huang Taiji, and his grandmother was posthumously named Concubine Heshuofu.

The second woman is Wu Keshan's biological sister Hai Lanzhu.

Hai Lanzhu did not meet Huang Taiji early on. He first married a Taiji from the Chahar tribe. Shortly after the marriage, her husband fell to death while riding a horse, leaving Hai Lanzhu a widow.

Because her aunt and sister were both married to Huang Taiji, she also had the opportunity to frequently enter and leave the Qing palace. Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji fell in love with Hailanzhu at first sight and could not restrain his love. He begged her mother-in-law many times to fulfill her wish.

, finally got his wish and got the beauty back.

After Hai Lanzhu married Huang Taiji, she was named Concubine Chen. Although her status was not as high as that of the queen, Huang Taiji loved her to death, and she was favored by the Sixth Palace.

In the first year of Chongde, Huang Taiji changed the name of the country to Qing and granted many ministers. In total, he only granted three hereditary Mongolian princes.

The throne of Prince Wu Keshan Zhuoliktu is noble in terms of blood. Although Wu Keshan is also a member of the Golden Family, he is far inferior to Ezhe, the son of the Mongolian Khan Lindan Khan.

He is also worse than Oba Tushetu Khan of the Horqin tribe. When Oba was the big beile, Wu Keshan was just the little beile. Now that Oba was named Tushetu Khan, he was still the little beile.

In terms of merit, Gulu Siqi of the Haraqin tribe actively followed every time the Qing government sent troops, worked hard and did not complain, but only got a small reward.

In terms of his flexible mind and quick thinking, Horqin's Ming'an Beile was the first to join the Qing court, and he was still a relative of the emperor, and only then did he get the title of Assistant Duke.

In order to make Concubine Chen happy, Huang Taiji loved Wu Jiwu and was very kind to her family. Concubine Chen's father Zaisang had passed away long ago, and Wu Keshan, as the male leader of the family, bore the brunt of the favor.

In the second year of Chongde, Wu Keshan came to court, and Huang Taiji gave him a guard of honor.

In the third year of Chongde's reign, Huang Taiji rewarded him with a pommel horse and fur coat.

Because of his sister's favor, Wu Keshan can not only do good things, but also make bad things happen.

Wu Keshan had a rather stingy personality. Perhaps he was used to coming to the Qing court to get things, but he was not willing to give things to the Qing court.

In the fourth year of Chongde, Wu Keshan cut corners in the annual tribute to Huang Taiji, which caused Huang Taiji great dissatisfaction.

The tribute was meant to be a casual gift, and the Mongolian prince was not asked to give more, but with just such a small amount and some defective products, Wu Keshan asked Huang Taiji where to put his face.

The initial punishment plan for the imperial court officials was to deprive Wu Keshan of his title and confiscate 500 horses.

With his own sister blowing the whistle by Huang Taiji's side, Wu Keshan would naturally not be punished harshly. Huang Taiji was given a lenient treatment. Not only was he exempted from having his title reduced, but he was also fined only 50 horses.

Wu Keshan is so lucky to have a sister like Hai Lanzhu. What is even more lucky is that Wu Keshan has an even more powerful and good sister.

The third woman is Wu Keshan's biological sister Bumu Butai.

Mubutai was also Hai Lanzhu's sister. She married Huang Taiji earlier and was named Zhuang Fei.

She was the later famous Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang. Mbutai was far less favored than her sister Hailanzhu.

They also gave birth to a son for Huang Taiji, the eighth son of the emperor Hailanzhu, and Huang Taiji was very happy.

In accordance with the specifications for establishing a prince, he issued the first edict of amnesty in the history of the Qing Dynasty.

All the Mongolian princes, princes and ministers of the vassal tribe were invited to hold a celebration of unprecedented scale.

Half a year later, Bumbutai gave birth to the emperor's ninth son. Although Bumbutai had a plan, he put rubies and spices in his clothes when he was pregnant, which glowed red and filled the place with a peculiar fragrance that lingered for a long time.

Rumors spread throughout the palace that this child would be extremely wealthy, but for a person like Huang Taiji, how could such a small trick deceive him?

Therefore, he didn't care much and didn't celebrate the birth of his ninth son. Unfortunately, Hai Lanzhu's son died when he was less than two years old.

Bumbutai's son was still promising. He became the first emperor after entering the customs - Emperor Shunzhi. Bumubutai's mother became the empress dowager because of her son's wealth. Wu Keshan became the uncle of Emperor Shunzhi.
