Desert Eagle Suletan Khan

Chapter 40 Turgut moved westward (Part )

The civil war in Oirat has been going on for more than four years and has not stopped. After all, he was a great Khan, with a righteous name and stronger strength than his opponents. Baibagas Khan gradually gained the upper hand and sent Kundulun Ubashi, Mergentemuna, and Noer Guards to conquer Chukul, Guyan, Tabentai waited for the Taijis to press and beat.

Nowadays, except for Kundulun Ubashi and Mergentemuna who still have some strength, the troops of the Nuoer Guards in Chukul, Guyang, and Tabuntai have been almost defeated, and most of the tribesmen have become lost and fled.

The long-term civil war intensified the internal conflicts among the tribes. The great leader of the Torgut tribe, Jimergentemuna, was dissatisfied with the ministers of his tribe and Orlek for not sending troops to support him, so he had an armed conflict with Orlek.

In the dark night sky, dotted with stars, in a huge yurt, the dark-skinned, tall and powerful Hutaiji and Orlek of the Torgut tribe refused to sleep, pacing back and forth in the big tent, thinking deeply. .

The eldest son, Shukuer Daiqing, walked in angrily. He was as tall and powerful as his father, and his skin was dark. He was usually the most loved by his old father. They attacked my Otok, killed three soldiers, and kidnapped eight families of herdsmen. Please send troops to take charge of the children."
"Shut up, why are Wang Han's descendants killing each other?" He Orlek was furious. The leader of one department got angry and brought great power, which frightened Shukuer Daiqing so much that he did not dare to say a word.

Wang Han was the Khan of the Keret Tribe. His original name was Tuo'or or Linle. The Jin Dynasty named him king, so he was called "Wang Khan", and the homophony became Wang Han. Because the guard of Kelet Khan was called Torgut, his direct descendants were called the Torgut tribe. This Khan is a well-known figure at home and abroad. He believes in Nestorianism (the Nestorian sect of Christianity) and is called Archbishop John in the West. He once married the father of Temujin, Yesugei. He gave help on the occasion and was called "Han's Father" by him. Later, he was defeated by Temujin and died at the hands of the Naiman tribe. Everyone in the Turhut tribe regarded themselves as descendants of Wang Han.

During this time with Orlek, he was in a bad mood and angry, so he even scolded his son. I can't help but be angry. The living situation of the Turgut people recently is so bad!

At first, although he had a bad relationship with Huitai Jiharahula of the Junggar tribe, he became brothers with Baibagas Khan of the Heshuote tribe and Datai Jidalai Taishi of the Durbot tribe. Daletaish, in particular, forged a deep friendship during the common war against the Oros. The three tribes are as close as one family, subtly suppressing the ambitious Junggar tribe.

Once the civil war breaks out, everything changes!

Because there were many Torghut tribe Taiji who supported the Noer Guards in conquering Chukul. Although he verbally supported Baibagas, he did not give substantial support. This aroused strong dissatisfaction with Baibagas Khan and Daletesh; the Junggar tribe, which had always been incompatible with him, took advantage of the Oirat civil war to develop and grow. The father and son Halahula and Batur were brave and good at fighting. They annexed many pastures and herdsmen and harassed the Torgut tribe many times. Recently, Mergent Muna turned against him and the Torgut tribe was divided. Why not make him angry?

Seeing that his son did not dare to speak, He and Orlek slowed down their tone and said calmly: "Now that we, Torgut, are surrounded by enemies on all sides, and internally unstable, it seems that the plan must be implemented immediately, otherwise we may risk losing our clan." !”

"Eqi Ge, do you really want to lead us to move westward to the Ezil River (called the Volga River in Russia)? Is that a barren land?" Shukuer Daiqing was shocked.

"Haha, don't worry. I have already sent people to investigate the Ezil River. There are endless grasslands everywhere, with rich water and grass, and a mild climate. The Nogai people originally occupied it, and the Nogai Khanate became more powerful after the split. Later, we were attacked by the Kazakh Khanate, the Crimean Khanate, and the Oros people, so we had to leave there. It’s really a great place! This is a gift from the Immortal God to us Torgut people!”

Speaking of this, He Orlek's eyes glowed. Despite his rough appearance and delicate heart, he actually had long planned to move westward. As early as ten years ago, he sent loyal and reliable people to the coast of the Caspian Sea and the lower reaches of the Volga River to conduct on-the-spot investigations. Very satisfied with the environment there. But at that time, he and his old brothers such as Bai Bagas and Dalai Taishi fought against Khalkha Mongolia and fought against Oros in the north, and they formed a deep friendship; even Harahula was not like what he is now. He is generally domineering and bullying. The whole of Oirat is generally harmonious, and there is a strong sense of brotherhood. I really can’t bear to leave!

The sky has unpredictable events, and people have misfortunes and blessings! The various Mongolian tribes in Oirat were originally as close as one family. You beat me, and I beat you, and they killed each other until their blood was drained! Nowadays, Hara Hula has become his mortal enemy; his old brothers Bai Bagasi and Dalai Taishi complained that he was unwilling to help, and they were at odds with each other; Turned his face. We are really surrounded by enemies on all sides. Unless we find a safe place, the Torgut tribe will not be able to rest in peace! I don’t want to stay here, I have my own place to stay, so I can’t do it without leaving!
"But Eqige, I heard that after the Oros annexed the Kazan Khanate and the Astrakhan Khanate, they set up armies, officials and churches in the two places. Going to the Ezil River (Volga River), I'm afraid it will If you are harassed by Cossacks, you may not be able to stand." Shukul Daiqing was still worried.

"Hahaha", and Orlek laughed loudly, "My child, do you know how vast the grassland is there? With the small population of Oros, there is no way to control it. Don't worry, I will lead you in Establish the Khanate of the Turghuts there!"

It is difficult to leave the homeland, and naturally Huitaiji cannot have the final say on such a big matter as moving the tribe westward, so he and Orlek chaired a tribal meeting. The main ones who came were himself and his six sons: Shukur Daiqing, Gonbuyilden, Ursang, Shechen, Luobuzang, Sengge, plus Ulu Chechen, Brihan and other Taijis. Because of a falling out with Mergentemuna, Mergentemuna and several of his brothers Peboke, Zhasabatu, Shangdu Batur, Shangkaiyi, Qingbatur, Kudet, etc. Neither Taiwan nor Kyrgyzstan attended the meeting.

As the minister of Torgut, and most of the people attending the meeting were his sons, he naturally kept his words to Orlek. The westward transfer of the Egil River was approved, and all that remained were the details of how to implement it.

"Eqige, Buzhu, Baoyinwudun, Baolan Agalhu, Manghai and other Taijis in the Qinghai Lake area of ​​Duogan, and Ejinetishtaiji in Yili, I don't know the news yet, is it? Send someone to inform them?" asked the eldest son Shukuer Daiqing.

He and Orlek thought for a while and said, "Buzhu and Baoyin Udun are the biological uncles of Mergent Muna, and they may not be willing to come. Now we have many enemies, and the matter of moving westward must be kept secret, so don't inform them. Yes. For other Taiwanese, please send someone secretly to notify them."

"Yes!"

Everyone discussed the preparations needed for the migration, and the second son Gunbuyilden suddenly spoke, "Eqige, there are thousands of Durbot and Heshuote families who are nomadic with us. People, do you want to take them with you?"

This issue is very sensitive. These people are not members of the Turgut tribe. Taking them away may cause conflicts with the Heshuote and Turgut tribes. The Heshuote people are just that, they are in the midst of a civil war and have too much time to take care of themselves; the Duerbot people's big dynasty, Jida Laitaishi, is not easy to mess with.

He and Orlek were stunned, a little hesitant. Thinking that he was about to move west to found a country, the most lacking thing was the population. He gritted his teeth and shouted: "No matter how many there are, take them all away. Tell those Heshuote and Dulbert herdsmen that if they don't come with us, Kill them all."
