Chapter 12 Manchu Destiny

The blood-red setting sun shines on the river surface. The seemingly wide Yellow River is blood flowing. Whose blood is of course the blood of the loser, Manchus, Mongolians loyal to the Qing Dynasty, Bumubutai stared at the Yellow River in a daze, letting his body sway in the bumps of the war horses, like a broken sack.

Why is it that I, who is already fifty years old, a woman from Korqin, who is desperately trying to suffer for the Qing Dynasty and Manchuria? I am not the descendant of Aisin Gioro, I am just a woman...

Kangxi in his arms stretched out his hand and wiped away Bumubutai's tears. Bumubutai suddenly realized, yes, this is my grandson, and what he lost is my husband, my son and countless warriors who have exchanged their lives and blood. He is no longer able to restore the world. Shouldn't he protect the descendants of the heroes?

"Grandma is tired, take a break, grandson beats her legs." Kangxi whispered.

Bumubutai thought that the group had been marching for a day and night, and immediately ordered a rest. The little emperor thoughtfully rubbed her legs, but he couldn't stand the fatigue and fell asleep on Bumubutai's legs.

"Gabula, how many soldiers and horses do we have and how many herdsmen?" Bumubutai asked.

Gabula knew it in his mind and said, "There are more than seventy cavalry guarding the masters, and there are more than four hundred old and weak, and thousands of cattle and horses."

This is less than Bumubutai imagined. The Mongolians are not idiots, nor are Korqins. Those who are unwilling to follow the losers have left at night.

Not only these people around her, she did not order people to rescue the two major camps last night, but sent people to rule the two winged cavalry of Tumot to move westward to the Xitao. However, the governors said that they were going to protect the emperor, and some even killed the envoys they sent. You know, the governors were all Manchus, so did they betray them too?

After several entanglements, less than fifty leaders followed, but now there are still so many, Bumubutai dare not think about it, and even unwilling to send someone to investigate.

The horizon when the sun finally sets, there seems to be black shadows flashing across the green meadows, but most of them are backs. Are people around you running away? The water of the Yellow River can still reflect a little moonlight, and the shimmering river water goes from west to east, like a jade belt. This river flows from south and will also flow south. The huge shape of a few can only be seen in the sky, but it does not belong to the Qing Dynasty, and it no longer belongs to the Mongolians. In the future, they will belong to the Han people. This is a place where the grassland people have been fighting for more than two thousand years and will be lost again.

The cold wind was whistling, and there seemed to be cavalry moving in the distance. The camp was forced to extinguish all the bonfires. The defeated soldiers remembered the legends passed down by the Mongolians on the grassland and the undead who harvested human lives under the night sky. But it seemed that they were not as terrifying as the Han cavalry. People were frightened. The nobles held Buddhist beads and prayed, while the untouched people knelt on the ground to pray. People no longer said the Manchu emperor, but the gods and Buddhas in the sky.

"Now they ask for blessings from God and Buddha, and in the future they will also pray for forgiveness from the Han people, but they will never say the words of the loyal emperor again." Bumubutai thought so.

She rubbed her cheeks, covered Kangxi's calves with the corner of her robe, and retreated with her grandson in her arms. In the middle of the night, she heard the scout shouting that the enemy was approaching. Everyone woke up, but found that there were only a few dozen cavalry under the hillside. Bumubutai knew that when the enemy team came from time to time, if the enemy brigade came, everything would be over. She whispered: "Gabu, don't expose your identity, get away with it, remember that we are just the Korqin right-wing central banner that moved westward..."

"Listen to the people on the hillside, the despicable Manchu Tartars, the Qing emperor who created disasters and provoked wars, is dead. Now the grassland has returned to peace. The emperor of Xinchao accepted the loyalty of the Mongols and gave us mercy and land. It is time to offer loyalty to the emperor of Xinchao. Go, go to Guihua City, and go to the great emperor, the great Tian Khan!"

"Who are you?" Gabula asked in Mongolian.

The man said, "Amitabha, I am Wu Renji from Yin Buddha Temple in Guihua City."

"It turned out to be Master Wu Renji, a well-known travel doctor on the grassland. He has mastered the existence of supernatural powers and magic. He has heard of your name very early. Xiao I want to know, when we return to Guihua City, what will the new king of the Celestial Dynasty deal with us?" Gabula was still delaying the time. At this time, a soldier walked up to him and whispered: "Master General, Xiao I and a few brothers have patrolled the surrounding area. There is no sign of a large group of people. They seem to be here to persuade them to surrender."

"Then catch them, and you can't let these lamas seduce people anymore. The Qing Dynasty lost too many tribes and cannot be damaged anymore." Bumubutai reminded from the side.

Wu Renji has begun to persuade the surrender: "Don't worry, the new king of the Celestial Empire is very kind, and will forgive your sins, recognize your jurisdiction over your own tribe, and will also allocate pastures for you..."

"That's great, we'll surrender now." Gabula said, pretending to be angry: "You idiots are just standing there and doing something, and you won't go to help the master and the angels lead the horse. Hurry up, prepare tea and be patient with the master."

As he said that, Gabula led seven or eight people out of the camp and came to Wu Renji. He first led the horse respectfully and tied the reins together quietly. Then he attacked, pulled the horse's cavalry off the horse and killed it on the spot. Then he controlled three lamas. Cavalrymen in the camp also rushed past. Seeing this, the cavalry of the entourage lamas wanted to escape, but the reins were tied. After cutting off the reins, the Manchu cavalry arrived and shot them off the horse. In total, two or three breaths, none of them escaped.

Gabula escorted the lama to the front of the king and kicked it in the bend of his leg, causing the lamas to kneel in front of Bumubutai. Gabula's knife was pressed against Wu Renji's back heart and said, "What do my master ask? I will be honest. If there is one thing that is not true, I will take your heart out. Anyway, there are three people, and the other two will supplement you."

Wu Renji had never seen such a scene. The blood just now scared him out of fear. Bumubutai asked: "Last night, the camp was attacked. Was it done by the Eastern thieves?"

"No, it was the work of King Chahar and Prince Doro. The new king of the Celestial Dynasty had not arrived yet, but at noon today, his two cavalry had arrived in Guihua City and chased westward. The General Cao Yu seemed to be a close minister of the new king. He asked us to wait for the lama as the vanguard and to recruit the tribes such as Tumote who retreated last night..."

"How far is the East Cavalry?" Bumubutai asked again.

"When it was dark, it was already camping, about forty miles away from here." Wu Renji dared not lie.

Bumubutai nodded and smiled at Gabula and said, "The master is frightened. I will let Gabula take you back and bring him a message to the Han general, and say we will not surrender."

While speaking, Bumubutai made a downward gesture. Gabula knew the position of the lama among the Mongols. If he was killed on the spot, it would be even more distracting. Gabula sent the lama to the east. Bumubutai shouted loudly: "The emperor's subjects, Heshelisony has led 10,000 elite troops to fight against the Eastern thieves. As the emperor of soldiers, we cannot enjoy it safely here. We will turn back and attack. You go to Xitao first. The emperor will lead the army to protect you."

A group of herders left thankfully. Soon after, Gabula returned to the camp and found that there were less than a hundred people left, one with two horses. Bumubutai said: "If the enemy finds that Wu Renji is missing, they will definitely chase him. If we can't walk quickly with cattle and sheep, we will separate from this herdsmanship and move westward immediately. We can't stay here."

Gabula had this intention long ago. He helped Kangxi get on the horse, bypassed a hill, no longer headed along the Yellow River, and went directly to Xitao. This cavalry was sophisticated and fast that it was not something that a large group of people could catch up with, and he successfully escaped.

When Li Mingxun arrived at Guihua City, the situation was already settled. It can be proved that the remnants of the Qing court had set out from Xitao and entered the north of Mobei along the Wengjin River. There were only a small number of cavalry left in the Hetao area. Their purpose was to restrain and destroy. Cao Yu collected more than 200,000 tribes such as Tumote and Sunit around Guihua City. These Mongolians would become the direct subordinates of the United States. In addition to the subordinates and tribes that were about to surrender, the number of Mongolians would exceed 500,000. It can be said that Li Mingxun had already captured all the Mongolian tribes from Korqin to Xitao. In just a few months, he conquered at least one million Mongolians, Manchus and Han people, occupied the entire southern desert, and directly removed the northern border of this new country. After that, whether it was harassment or attacks, the northern border of the Mobei must cross the desert. There was a reliable natural danger in the northern border of the United States.

Of course, in addition to the Qing cavalry who were harassed and attacking everywhere, there were also a group of Manchu and Mongolian nobles who were defending Guihua City and waiting to negotiate conditions with Li Mingxun to talk about chips. King Abunai of Chahar led the Mongolian nobles who had already surrendered to come to welcome Li Mingxun and brought him a group of trouble.

Li Mingxun looked at the gorgeous woman kneeling in front of her. She was already middle-aged. The cold wind on the grassland destroyed her originally unfashionable face. It was obvious that she was a Manchu lady, but Li Mingxun didn't know who this was, so she looked directly at Abunai.

"Your Majesty, this is the second daughter of the Manchu Tartar Emperor Taiji. The slave specially captured it and offered it to you." Abnai said in Chinese.

The timid woman suddenly raised her head, glared at Abnay, and shouted unwillingly: "Aigen..."

Li Mingxun knew a little about Manchu. When he went to Beijing, Shunzhi taught him. He knew that it was the husband's meaning. Obviously, this woman was Abunai's wife. Li Mingxun suddenly remembered something. It seemed that Huang Taiji pacified Monan and captured Lin Dankhan's widow. Abunai was still a posthumous son. In order to appease Mongolia, Huang Taiji married his second daughter to Ezhe, the king of Chahar at that time. Of course, Abunai's elder brother died very early. The princess married Abunai again according to Mongolian customs. The Burni he met that day was Abunai and her son.

"Are you forcing me to kill her so as to cut off your relationship with Manchuria? If so, bring Burni and Robuzang too. They also have half of Aisin Gioro's blood, so it's better to cook them together." Li Mingxun said coldly, obviously not satisfied with Abunai's bad birds flying in the face of disaster.

Makata understood Chinese. After hearing this, he was no longer angry, but begged for mercy: "Great Han Emperor, please forgive my sons, they have no sin."

Abnay didn't say a word, as if he could even agree with Li Mingxun's angry words.

Li Mingxun understood that Abunai became the leader of various tribes, and each family had such a situation. He had mostly married Manchu women, either clan relatives or princesses, and was not as noble as Makata, but he was also confused with Aisin Gioro.

"Abnai, speak, kneel down and beg for grace. If you have made great contributions to the new dynasty, Your Majesty will forgive your sons. You have abandoned me. Do you want even your son?

Abunai, who is raised by a bitch, even if I die, I, Makata, curse your bloodline, so that you will never be able to give birth to a son again. Things that are worse than pigs and dogs, even ewes will love to protect lambs, and even hungry wolves will not eat their own cubs. But you abandon everything for your own wealth and honor, and you will not die well!" Abunai's silence was exchanged for the most evil curses and criticisms. Abunai turned his head and did not dare to talk to him.

Li Mingxun was filled with joy, letting you, Abunai, have a problem with me, now you have lost your face, Li Mingxun coughed lightly and said, "Maybe Abunai no longer needs Aisin Gioro's woman to serve, but I have seen that smart child of Burni, and I don't want him to become taciturn because of losing his mother. Since Prince Abunai is so decisive, let me make a verdict."

Makata had already heard that Li Mingxun had no intention of massacre, so she knelt down quickly. Li Mingxun said, "Prince Abunai made great contributions. I originally planned to reward him with a whole flag and fifteen subordinates. Now, I will give these rewards to Luobuzang and let Luobuzang use them to support his mother. From then on, you, Makata, are no longer the princess of Abunai, but only the mother of Burni and Luobuzang. Do you understand?"

"The sinful woman thanked the emperor for her kindness." Makata kowtowed repeatedly, stood up, glared at Abnay, and went out.

"If you want to draw a clear line with Aisin Gioro, I can also preside over the leadership for you and divide your part into serving Aisin Gioro's women, so as not to get upset with your loyalty." Li Mingxun said to the chieftain with a smile.

"I dare not let Your Majesty worry, nor should I be an ungrateful person." The crowd knelt on the ground to beg for mercy, only Abnay looked extremely ugly.

"Xuanwulanara, Dong'e, Yehenara and others met." The official Zanli shouted loudly.

Soon, more than forty people staggered in and filled the tent, mostly women and children, women were dressed in gorgeous clothes, and children were mixed with them. Some people were holding babies and children who could not leave. Everyone looked frightened. The women covered the children's mouths and prevented them from crying, so as not to disturb the people in the tent, and many disasters were added in vain.

"Your Majesty, these are the concubines Aisin Jueluo captured by the raid camp, and also the royal family of princes and nobles." Abnay said honestly.

Li Mingxun asked in confusion: "What are you going to do here? First, lock it in the prisoner's camp, interrogate it clearly, and then beat it to a slave, and deal with it as usual."

Abnay said with courage: "The slaves ask for an order and reward these sinners to the slaves."

"Oh? Why is this?" Although he knew that these noble chiefs were coming to reward him, this was the first time Li Mingxun saw such a blatant noble chief.

Abnay said: "The slave family was bullied by three generations of Aisin Gioro. My father died because of it. Huang Taiji forced my mother and others to remarry Manchuria. The way of heaven is good for reincarnation. They forced Borkijit's woman, and now it's their turn."

At first, Li Mingxun couldn't understand why Abnay wanted these women who were not beautiful. Now it seems that he had ulterior motives. He smiled slightly and shook his head and said, "Your father Lin Dankhan died, but your mother remarried. But now Shunzhi is not dead, and you are still in my prisoner camp. How can you remarry these women?"

"Our grassland is successful and defeated. The new king should be the one who inherits the enemy king's woman. Could it be that you, Abunai, have two hearts and think that Manchuria is gone, and you are the new king of the grassland?" Bart, who could no longer bear to see, asked coldly.
