Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 4 Dulbert gives birth to a sage

Along the Ob River, the beautiful grassland is dotted with countless small white flowers. No, not flowers, but yurts.

Around the largest felt tent, guards holding swords and guns stood silently, and a huge white cloth with the Sulu ingot pattern on it sounded in the wind. White symbolizes nobility and purity; 纺 cannot be used except by the commander-in-chief of the entire army.

With his hair tied three times, the braid behind his ears combed smoothly, someone stood with his hands behind his back. Judging from his age, he was less than forty, with a soft face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose. His whole body was full of elegant temperament, and his eyes were as deep as the stars in the sky.

"Dataiji, Nomudale of the Huite tribe is willing to follow your order and send a thousand troops. I deliberately brought a riding whip into his tent. His attitude was submissive and he did not dare to be dissatisfied at all." Erqin Batur respectfully said Respectfully, he reported to the man his visit to the Huite Department. As arrogant as he was, he lowered his head and stood solemnly, not even daring to breathe.

"Oh," the man said, without turning around. After a while, he asked softly: "Being so humiliated but not getting angry, you are either a coward or a hero. Which one do you think you are?"

In an instant, Erqin Batur felt an overwhelming pressure. On such a cold day, sweat broke out on his forehead.

He thought for a while and said: "Dataiji, Nanomudalai is only more than 20 years old. He is just a submissive and has never heard of any remarkable deeds. In my opinion, it is the former."

"Uh", the man stopped talking and seemed to have fallen into trance.

"Da Taiji, this time I went south to Yuledus and passed by Noyan Ubas and Buyan Burhan, two Taiji Otoks. They were very dissatisfied with Nomdale and even prepared a copy for you. A generous gift. According to my nephew, this Nomudale can't even control his two younger brothers, so he is really a waste," Elinqin Batur said again.

After hearing this, the man finally gave a satisfied sigh, turned around, and said with a smile as warm as the spring breeze, "This mission is really hard, so please go down and rest."

"Yes, Dadaiji." Elinqin Batur bowed and bowed before retreating.

After he left, the man rubbed his sore eyes and sat down at the table. There was a thick stack of official documents on the table. This is Dadaiji, the sage of Oirat, who is in charge of the reins of the Dulbert tribe, and the legendary figure on the grassland.

Very legendary! At that time, his father, Tergetutesh, had five sons: Erke Elden, Galedang, Daleitaish, Baoyilden, and Elden Ubas. He was the third. After the death of Tergetutesh, according to the eldest son inheritance system implemented in Oirat Mongolia, the position of minister should be inherited by his brothers. However, because of his broad mind, resourcefulness, and popularity, his brothers voluntarily gave up their inheritance rights and supported him as their leader, becoming the sage of the Siwei Lat tribe. This is an outstanding leader who is wise, talented and low-key. After he succeeded to the throne, he saw that various tribes in Eastern Mongolia frequently attacked Oirat and the tribes suffered heavy losses. He was determined to find a paradise for the Dulbert tribe to rest and recuperate. He resolutely led 50,000 soldiers and more than 100,000 tribesmen to leave their ancestral homeland in the Altai Mountains and came to the middle reaches of the Irtysh River, becoming the first Oirat tribe to move westward.

Later, the Torghut tribe came to the upper reaches of the Irtysh River east of the Durbot tribe, the Huite tribe came to the Yuledus grassland, and the Heshuot tribe moved to the Urumqi area on both sides of the Emin River. The Junggar tribe moved to the middle and upper reaches of the Irtysh River to the Hobok River and the Sali Mountain area. The entire Oirat Mongolia formed a northern group composed of Durbot, Turghut, Huite, and some Junggar nobles, and a northern group composed of Junggar, and The Southeast Group composed of Shuote.

The road is full of obstacles, and it is not easy to establish a foothold in a strange place. Daleitaish did it. It relies on maintaining the three relationships, merging the weak and strengthening its own strength.

First, improve relations within the tribe. Since he was unanimously elected as the leader by his brothers, he avoided internal strife caused by fighting for inheritance rights. He also has extraordinary wisdom and talent, and is broad-minded and tolerant. After succeeding to the throne, he led his four brothers and many uncles, brothers, and nephews to nomadically open up new pastures, making the entire Dulbert live in harmony and becoming a It's a piece of cake. When people are united and their energy is directed towards one place, the tribe will naturally prosper.

Second, improve relations with other Oirat Mongolian tribes. He advocated marriage, and he married Gushi Khan of the Heshuote tribe to the sisters of Hutaiji and Orlek of the Torgut tribe, and Orlek's daughter also married Batur Hutai of Junggar. lucky. In this way, everyone becomes relatives and conflicts are significantly reduced. Although he clearly has the strength to challenge the alliance leader, he keeps a low profile. The Russians called him "Khan of Kalmykia", but he himself never called himself Khan. Instead, he honestly obeyed the orders of the leader of the alliance, Koshote Baibagas Khan. He came to all alliance meetings in Oirat. We will unswervingly adhere to the military operations against the Khalkha Mongols (a branch of Eastern Mongolia) and the resolutions of various alliance conferences.

Third, establishing a good relationship with Tsarist Russia is, to put it bluntly, deceiving Tsarist Russia. The Russians sent envoys to visit and asked them to become Russian citizens. He also sent an envoy to return a visit, stating that he was "ready to accept Russia's asylum and eager for the Tsar's favor." He requested to go nomadic along the lower reaches of the Irtysh River to the Aral Lake and the Kamishzhiv River to expand his pasture. But when it came to the substance, On the issue of sexual submission, he did not express his position clearly. The two sides are good neighbors and friendly, but have had several armed conflicts and generally maintained peace.

If you want to grow your tribe, you can't just rely on friendship and marriage. You must also expand your pastureland. In order to compete for pasture land, the leader never showed any mercy. While improving relations with internal and powerful neighbors, he began a series of expansions. First, they conquered the Nogai people in the middle and upper reaches of the Irtysh River, and then conquered some Kazakhs and Kyrgyz people, forcing Kazakh Dayuz and Kyrgyz Yuzi to surrender.

The hero was extremely flexible. On the one hand, he actively participated in the Oirat Alliance to fight against the Khalkha Mongols. On the other hand, he secretly sent envoys to negotiate with the Khalkha Mongols and the Tohuite tribe. After all, after moving westward, the Durbot tribe did not directly border the Khalkha Mongolia, and there was no need to fight for other Oirat tribes.

After moving westward, compared with other Oirat tribes that suffered from internal and external troubles, the nomadic land of the Durbot tribe was not only rich in water and grass, but also had an excellent geographical location: to the east was the pasture land of the Turgut tribe, and to the southeast was the Junggar tribe. The Dulbert tribe and the Heshuote tribe were connected. In other words, the Durbot tribe was far away from Eastern Mongolia, the main enemy of the Oirat Mongolia at that time, and was not easily attacked by strong enemies.

Under the strong leadership of Daley Desh, the Durbots were nomadic at first between the Irtysh River and the Salt Lake, and later gradually expanded to the Ob River Basin. As time went by, their nomadic land began to stabilize: centered on the middle reaches of the Irtysh River, it expanded in all directions. The broad and excellent pastures and relatively peaceful environment made the tribe stronger and stronger, becoming a large tribe with a population of 200,000.
