Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 384 Luobuzang persuades his father to surrender

The ferocious beasts are the most ferocious when they are surrounded. Today's Chuhu'er Ubas is such a trapped beast. He knows that he will die, but he still bares his fangs and refuses to give in. This is the wolf, the proud lone wolf!
It was late at night and he couldn't sleep, so he simply put on his clothes and got up to check the defense of the camp. Because he armed 20,000 healthy women from old and young women and children, his army increased to more than 30,000 people. But that's just a number. Although most Dzunggar women can bend bows and shoot arrows, their combat effectiveness is not as good as that of men. They have been defeated repeatedly in battles. There is a serious shortage of ordnance supplies, artillery is lost, fire blunderbuss lack blunderbuss, gunpowder is scarce, and even arrows There are not many arrows left, and many of the newly recruited warriors can only be equipped with sharpened trees that serve as spears.

How could such a "30,000-strong army" withstand 40,000 heavily armed enemies? Thinking about the terrible fate that would befall these young and old women and children of Junggar tomorrow, Chuhuer Ubashi really couldn't sleep. It was not so much that he wanted to patrol the camp as that he wanted to relieve his depression.

He walked aimlessly in the camp, and when he came to a cell, he heard an old woman singing a pastoral song in a low voice to put her children to sleep:
The starry sky rotates,
The tribes fight in confusion,
No one enters his own bedroom,

All went to rob each other.

The turfed earth turns over,

The tribes are fighting,
No one sleeps in his own bed,

All going to attack each other
This song sings about the tragic history of the various Mongolian tribes who beat me and me before Genghis Khan was born. It was not until Genghis Khan unified Mongolia and ended the troubled times that the herders on the grasslands lived a peaceful life.

Perhaps influenced by the old woman's singing, the whole family in Gernai began to sing this pastoral song. The song is desolate and touching.

Chuhu'er Ubas felt his heart tightening. At this moment, the people were singing such songs. They clearly didn't want to fight anymore. They hoped that a figure like Genghis Khan would appear and unify Oirat and even all Mongolia. Nowadays, the only one with the strength to unify Oirat is Suletan of the Huite tribe. Have they forgotten the blood feud between Junggar and Weiguo, and instead hope that the enemies will unify as soon as possible and end the troubled times?
This is the difference between the upper-class princes and the common people. There are vendettas among various tribes. It is only the princes and nobles who have enmity. The ordinary people just want to live a peaceful life. It does not matter whoever is the ruler, as long as they can fill their stomachs. The war is going on like this, with people dying in every household, how can the people not be tired of the war? If it weren't for the strict military management of Chu Hu'er Ubas, who deployed a large number of patrolling soldiers outside the camp, and found that the escapees were punished by law, there would have been a large number of deserters in the camp. Therefore, it is normal to hope that a strong man will emerge to end the troubled times!
The song was so desolate that Chuhu'er Ubas was so lost that he returned to the tent listlessly. "It's over! It's all over!" The ferocious wolf of the Cholos family suddenly seemed to have been drained of all his strength, muttering to himself, waiting for tomorrow's battle.

At dawn, the expected sound of cannons and cannons and shouts of death did not come. Not even the war drums sounded. The guards seemed to have forgotten their existence.

"what?"

Chuhu'er Ubas became suspicious and was about to order someone to investigate, when his second son Bagabandi came to report, "Eqi Ge, the fourth brother is back."

"What did you say?" When the old father heard this, his eyes widened.

"The fourth brother is not dead. He was captured by the guards after the defeat, and now he is released by the guards. He came with a letter of surrender from the guards," Bagabandi reported excitedly.

"Call him in quickly!"

"Eqi Ge! Aha!" As soon as Luo Bu Zang E Linqin entered the tent, he hugged his father and brother and cried. The father and son hugged each other and did not separate for a long time. Chuhu'er Ubas was in tears. Originally, he thought he had only one son left, but unexpectedly, Changsheng took pity on him and returned his fourth son who had been "dead in battle" to him. After a long time, he regained his composure and asked aloud: "How is my son living these days? Did the guards bully you?"

"After my son was captured by the guards, Commander Urigendalai treated him fairly and generously, and he was never bullied. It's just~"

"Just what?"

"It's just that my son brought bad news: my entire Dzungarian army was destroyed near Manas Lake. My uncle committed suicide after his defeat. The guards captured Hoboksali. My fourth uncle Dalma and my uncle Bobei , Aunt Yumhagasi, and Sengge Hui's younger brother have all surrendered to the guard."

Chuhu'er Ubashi's body trembled but did not speak.

"These are three letters that Marshal Urigendalai asked me to forward to you. One is written by the Lord of Wei, and the other two are written by Fourth Uncle and Uncle Cong.

Chuhu'er Ubas nodded, opened the letter and looked at it.

The content of the Xian Han (the emperor's letter) written by Suletan to him is very simple. There is no big principle such as "abandon the small ambitions of sparrows and admire the swans to soar high". There is only one line of small words: "If you come to vote, you can do something for me." David was ranked third as Marquis of Welu."

The fourth brother Dalma wrote a long letter, describing his last resort to surrender, analyzing the situation facing Junggar, and advising him not to act like a mantis, and to surrender as soon as possible to avoid the devastation of the war for the people.

The longest letter from brother Bobei first describes the scene when Batur Hutaiji died. When he read that before his death, his brother told Emperor Wei that Bobei was talented and would be killed if he was not needed, Chuhuer Uba He was so horrified that he regarded Suletan as his enemy. Perhaps in his brother's heart, that person was not an enemy, but a hero who had the same ambitions and was worthy of sympathy. Then he told him about the series of benevolence shown to the Junggar tribe by the Emperor of Wei. policy, conferring officials and titles, retaining property, etc. He specifically informed his niece Tao Ges that he was already the emperor's concubine. Since the two families were married, there was no risk in surrendering. In the end, he just talked about the truth and took advantage of the opportunity. There was a lot of talk about changes, encounters with the Ming Dynasty, wearing purple and embracing yellow, and establishing festivals in Chengdu.

Bobei was worthy of being a learned man from the Junggar tribe. His ability to present facts and reason was first-rate. After reading his letter, Chuhuer Ubas finally sighed and ordered his subordinates to abandon their weapons and disarm.

His surrender meant that the powerful Junggar tribe, which had long blocked the unification of the Oirat by the Davidic Kingdom, was completely subdued. Except for the Torgut headquarters that moved westward to the Volga River Basin, the entire four Oirat tribes were under the direction of Suletan's horsewhip. Down.

The news reached Hoboksali, and Emperor Qianyuan was overjoyed. He vaguely remembered that Chuhuer Ubas Dataji was very courageous in the original history. He refused to kneel down to accept the will of the Russian tsar, and repeatedly asked Russia to Fang returned the Kyrgyz people who were lured to the Russian territory and originally submitted to Junggar. Unexpectedly, they were now willing to submit to him.

As soon as the emperor was happy, he kept his promise and decreed that he be granted the title of third-class Marquis of Weelumu. He also ordered generals such as Urigendalai to send troops to "escort" Chuhu'er Ubas's subordinates to Urumqi, Barkol, Bielsbali, Shawan, Manas, Wusu and other places; and also decreed that the disbanded Junggar tribes should be organized into households and the people should pay taxes and perform military service.
