A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, who was quite strong, still wearing a Ming Dynasty-style cuirplate and an iron helmet, rode a horse to the front of Batur Huntai Jima, who was watching the battle from a high place. The young man's armor was stained with blood, and he carried a bloody burden in his right hand, and when he reached Batur Huntaiji, he suddenly reined in his horse, which neighed and raised its front hooves high, and then fell heavily and smashed on the ground covered with ice and snow.

"Sangha!" Batur Huntaiji, who was already old, looked at the young man and showed a doting smile.

The Mongolian tradition is to pass on the throne to the youngest son, and this young man named Sangha is the fifth son of Batur Huntaiji, although not the youngest, but the second youngest. Batur Huntaiji's youngest son was Kaldan, but Kaldan's mother had made a pact with the Living Buddha of Windsa III, who was visiting the Dzungar tribe, to ask the Living Buddha, who was old and sick at the time, to promise to be reincarnated as her son. The old living Buddha returned to Tibet after agreeing, and soon passed away, and then Galdan's mother, that is, the wife of Batur Huntaiji, became pregnant and later gave birth to Kaldan.

In other words, Galdan was born as a reincarnated living Buddha, and of course it is impossible to become an heir. Therefore, the monk in front of him is the heir of Batur Huntaiji.

And today's battle is the first battle in which the Sangha participated!

In order to establish his son's prestige as soon as possible, Batur Huntaiji selected 500 young people with strong martial arts skills from his subordinate tribes a year ago and asked them to serve as his son's companions. They were also equipped with armor and the best war horses given by the Ming Dynasty, and they were also allowed to gather together to train and charge.

Just when Yangir Khan's Kazakh coalition army was defeated by the Junggar army's artillery fire, horse musketeers and cavalry attacks, Batur Huntaiji immediately made a decision, and immediately asked his son Sangha to lead his 500 iron cavalry into the attack, and launched an attack on Yangjir Khan's Daxu location, with only one goal, that is, to kill the Kazakh Khan Yangjil!

The Kazakh Khanate came from the Golden Horde, and the Khan was a descendant of Jochi, although he believed in the Celestial Religion, but the state was still organized in a Mongolized way, in fact, it was a nomadic tribal union, and there was no strong centralized power. Once Yangir Khan died, the khanate was easily separated.

In this way, Batur Huntaiji was able to conquer the whole of Monghulstan relatively easily, and the territory of the Dzungar Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate was called Mughulstan by the Persians, which means the land of the Mongols.

Only by taking full control of this territory will the Dzungar tribes have the possibility of establishing a khanate!

Batur Huntaiji, who was standing on a high place to watch the battle, had already seen Yangjier's home formation broken through, and saw the Kazakh Khan's Daxu falling, the only thing that could not be determined was whether Yangjir Khan, who had great prestige in the Kazakh Khanate, died?

"Father!" At this time, the monk had already dismounted, holding the blood burden in both hands and came to Batur Huntaiji, "I brought Yang Ji'er's head!" ”

"Really?" Batur Huntaiji was overjoyed and said, "Show it to me!" ”

One of the guards who followed him immediately went to take the blood baggage, and when it was opened, there was a dead head.

Batur Huntaiji was surrounded by advisers who had once sent envoys to the Kazakh Khanate, and when he glanced at the head, he was ecstatic and said: "Huntaiji, Yangir Khan is dead!" That's his head! ”

"Hahaha......" Batur Huntaiji laughed three times, "The whole army is assaulted!" Be sure to let the Kazakhs know how powerful our Dzungar department is! Let them know who is the master of the Mughulstan! ”

......

The death of Yangir Khan was undoubtedly the beginning of a dark period for the Kazakh Khanate, as the barely unified country fell apart, large areas of fertile pastures were seized by the Dzungars, and the divided Kazakh tribes fought each other for the remaining grasslands.

And for Batur Huntaiji, who is already old and in worse health, victory does not mean the beginning of a happy life. Because he had already contracted the wind chill before the decisive battle of the Chu River, he had a low-grade fever for several days, and he was completely supported by his sick body to go to the battlefield.

Probably because the wish had been fulfilled, the spirit that suppressed the illness dissipated, and that night Batur Huntaiji had a high fever, coughed incessantly, and vomited red phlegm.

Knowing that his time was short, Batur Huntaiji hurriedly asked the heir Sangge, who was drinking in the camp on the bank of the Chu River, the eldest son Chechen, the second son Zhuot Babatur and the brother Chuhur Ubashi, to his camp. He also asked people to change themselves into the python robe and black gauze hat of the first-class military attache of the Ming Dynasty (both sent with cannons), and held two holy decrees issued by Zhu Cihong in his hands.

One is to canonize Batur Huntaiji as the protector of the Beiting capital, and the other is to canonize the monk after he is the protector of the Beiting capital!

As early as when Galdan was staying in Yulin, the acting king Zhu Cijiong was entrusted to ask Zhu Cihong for these two holy decrees.

Seeing Batur Huntaiji dressed like this, the Sangha, Chechen, Zhuot Babatur and Chushu Ubashi were all stunned.

What's going on? Why did Huntaiji wear this bells and whistles of the Ming Dynasty official uniform? Could it be that the Dzungar Ministry was really playing with the Ming Dynasty?

Batur Huntaiji's eldest son, Chechnya, looked at his father and asked, "Father, what are you......?" To play the banner of the Ming Dynasty? ”

Batur Huntaiji was noncommittal, and set his eyes on his younger brother Chuhuer Ubash. Chuhur Ubashi and Batur Huntaiji look very similar, but they are much younger, their hair and beard are black and shiny, and their complexions look very healthy.

In the Dzungar Ministry, Chuhuer Ubashi is still a rare "intellectual", proficient in Mongolian, Chagatai, Persian and Chinese, and can understand the secret book of the art of war given by the Qing Dynasty "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so Batur Huntaiji has always regarded him as his Zhuge Liang.

Mongolian Zhuge Liang touched his beard, shook a folding fan (he couldn't find a goose feather fan, he had already asked Lama Celing to go to Nanjing to help buy it), and pretended to think about it.

"Huntaiji wants to get more aid from the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Rakshasa Kingdom?"

Batur Huntaiji looked solemn, nodded lightly, and said, "My body is not as good as day by day, and I don't know when my soul will return to bliss...... After my death, the Dzungar tribe and the Sangha must have a support, otherwise the murderous Rakshasas will definitely take the opportunity to seize the land, cattle and sheep and tribesmen of the Dzungars, so we must get the support of the Ming Dynasty. ”

This Huntaiji of the Jungar Department actually didn't tell the truth to his brother, and what he was most worried about now was not the Rakshasa Kingdom at all, but his "Zhuge Liang brother". His eldest son, Chechnya, and his second son, Drot Babatur, have no brains and are easily provoked. And Chushu Ubashi calculates others and his own people all day long, and may provoke infighting among Chechnya, Zhuot Babatur and the Sangha......

Therefore, Batur Huntaiji wants to use the banner of the Ming Dynasty to stabilize the status of his son monk, so that he can become the protector of the Beiting Metropolitan in peace!

As for the threat of the Rakshasa Kingdom...... As long as the Dzungar Ministry can be united, and there is the support of the Ming Dynasty, there is nothing to worry about!

The Rakshasa people are only powerful with muskets and cannons, and now the Dzungar Ministry can also get these from the Ming Dynasty, what else is there to fear?

"But the Ming Dynasty asked us to send troops to the Yeerqiang Khanate!" The monk looked at his father's sick appearance and was very worried.

"Then send troops!" Batur Huntaiji coughed a few times, "Yeerqiang is an ally with Kazakhstan and Bukhara, and has always opposed our Dzungar Ministry, and now that Kazakhstan is temporarily defeated, it is time to free up his hands to clean up the Yeerqiang Khanate."

Moreover, Abdullah Khan of the Yarkand Khanate was mean and unkind, and after taking power, he slaughtered all the nobles of various tribes and expelled his brothers Ibraim and Ismayil...... The two brothers of Abdurraha Khan are here with us, and now they are using them as guides to join forces with the Ming army, advance east and west, and destroy the Yarkand Khanate in one fell swoop! ”

"But, father...... Your body ......." Sangha looked at his father, a little uneasy.

Batur Huntaiji raised the holy decree of Zhu Cihong's canonization of monks, and tried to raise his voice: "This is the edict of the Great Tomorrow Son to seal you as the envoy of the Beiting Festival!" You are now the heir of the Dzungar Department who has been sealed by the Great Tomorrow Son...... If I don't succeed, you will naturally have to take on the responsibility of sending troops to the Yarkand Khanate! ”
