Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 340 Chapter 340, Zhu Cihong's troops entered the grassland, and Abu Nai swallowed his anger
"The sky is blue, the wild is vast, and the wind blows the grass and sees cattle and sheep."

Looking at the prairie in front of him, Zhu Cihong couldn't help blurting out.

Inner Mongolia... Oh no, this time should be called the Monan Prairie. The scenery here is indeed as magnificent and beautiful as Zhu Cihong imagined.

But this is also a place that lacks human habitation. The pastures of each tribe are at least tens of miles apart, and at most hundreds of miles. Two or three tribes.

The spring breeze blew, and the land that had just thawed was full of the smell of green grass. The horses hooved across the stream, and the icy water made the horses neigh.

Zhu Cilang was riding on the horse, thinking about the information given by the staff this time.

The Chahar tribe came from Lin Dan Khan, the last great Khan of Tatar Mongolia in the late Ming Dynasty.

Lin Dan Khan was once close to unifying Mongolia, but unfortunately he encountered the Manchus. Even with the support of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Dan Khan was still defeated by Huang Taiji and fled to Qinghai where he died.

After Lin Dan Khan's death, his son E Zhe led the rest of the Chahar tribe to surrender to Huang Taiji and was named Prince Chahar.

Ezhe also died a few years ago, and his younger brother Abu Nai (naì) inherited the position of Prince Chahar and is now the leader of the Chahar tribe.

After surrendering to the Qing Dynasty, the troops of the Chahar tribe were largely split up and formed the Mongolian Eight Banners with other Mongolian tribes.

However, relying on his identity as a descendant of the Golden Family and Lin Dan Khan's remaining prestige, Prince Abu Nai of Chahar, who married Huang Taiji's daughter Makata, is still one of the most important leaders of Tatar Mongolia.

In addition to the Chahar tribe, another important tribe is the Horqin tribe.

The Horqin Tribe was originally a subject of the Chahar Tribe. In order to oppose the rule of Lin Dan Khan, the previous tribal leader Oba had already formed an alliance with Nurhaci as early as the Tianqi Years and was named Tushetu Khan. From then on, he was from the Chahar Tribe. become independent.

Today the leader of the Horqin Tribe is Auba's son Badali, and Badali's sister is the Empress Dowager Dayuer of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Among the so-called "Manchu-Mongolian co-governance" national policy of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, it was the Horqin tribe who benefited the most from the Mongols.

These two tribes must be defeated to eliminate the influence of the Manchus on the grasslands, and also to free up Ming Dynasty from Datong, Zhangjiakou and other places to concentrate on dealing with the Manchus in the direction of Liaodong.

With the sound of horseshoes, Li Dingguo came to Zhu Cihong.

Li Dingguo reported to Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness, among the prisoners captured so far, no one has been able to tell the exact location of Chahar or Horqin."

The British Duke and Li Guozhen are in charge of the war in the direction of Shanhaiguan, and the young Li Dingguo has now become the most trusted general around Zhu Cihong.

It's not that no one doubted this, but Li Dingguo quickly dispelled this doubt with his outstanding talent.

It is an undeniable truth that capable people always stand out no matter where they are.

Zhu Cilang laughed when he heard the words: "It's okay, I already know their location."

While speaking, Zhu Cihong raised his head and stared in the northeast direction.

There, there were two coordinates who kept in touch with Zhu Cihong.

Compared with before, these two coordinates still haven't changed in any way.

This also made Zhu Cihong a little curious. Did Prince Chahar Abu Nai and the leader of the Horqin Tribe Badali already know the news of the Ming army's attack?
They do know.

Abu Nai was sitting in the royal tent of the Chahar tribe, entertaining Badali who had just arrived.

Both of them have typical Mongolian looks. They are not tall.

Abu Nai is about forty years old, and Badali is about four or five years older than Abu Nai.

Although he was a guest, Badali's performance was not restrained, even a little arrogant.

Badali said: "Prince Abu Nai, I just took a look and found that your youngest daughter is very good, so how about marrying my eldest son as a concubine?"

Abu Nai's expression changed immediately when he heard the words, and he said in a deep voice, "Prince Badali, I'm afraid this is not good? After all, my daughter is also the daughter of a dignified prince, how can she be a concubine?"

Badali laughed loudly, and said: "What's wrong with this, my eldest son is destined to be the future Prince Horqin, and your daughter will also be a side Fujin after marrying, isn't that a hundred times better than marrying someone else?"

Abu Nai snorted, and said coldly: "Of course my daughter will still be my regular wife."

Badali slapped the table and said angrily: "Why, Abu Nai, Abu Nai, you are not even willing to sell me this face? It seems that I can only write a letter to Shengjing to let the empress dowager and His Majesty the Emperor has upheld justice."

Abu Nai's face changed again when he heard the words.

Who doesn't know that Empress Dowager Dayuer is from the Horqin Department, if this matter really gets involved in Shengjing, the result will definitely be inclined to Badalley.

After a while, Abu Nai swallowed his anger and said, "Then let's do this, but the dowry must be doubled!"

Badali got what he wanted, and immediately laughed out loud, saying: "It's simple, you will definitely not miss your Chahar department when the dowry comes. Well, I've had enough wine today, what's the matter tomorrow?" talk later!"

After finishing speaking, Badali was triumphant, and walked out swaggeringly.

Abu Nai looked at Badali's back, his eyes flickered fiercely, but in the end it just turned into a soft sigh.

As the son of Lin Dan Khan, Abu Nai was nominally a prince on the Manchu side, but in fact he was always guarded against. How could he fight against the Horqin tribe who had left the Empress Dowager?

It doesn't work if you don't accept softness.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and a general Chahar walked in quickly.

"Your Majesty, I just got the news that the Crown Prince Zhu Cihong of the Ming Dynasty has led nearly [-] cavalry to leave Zhangjiakou and head north for a few days. It is very likely that they are targeting us!"

Abu Nai was obviously taken aback: "Ming people, come to beat us?"

Before waiting for a reply, another General Chahar walked in.

"General, Shengjing's order!"

Abu Nai took over the decree written by Dorgon himself and began to read it.

"...You want us to actively confront the Ming army and try to kill the Ming army general?"

Abu Nai stared at the will in front of him and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Abu Nai called several hardcore confidants to discuss the matter.

At the beginning, what the confidants said was relatively normal, nothing more than how to gather troops to fight against the Ming army.

Suddenly, someone made a proposal.

"When Lin Dan Khan was alive, he joined forces with the Ming Dynasty to attack the Qing Dynasty. Now that the Ming army has arrived, can we join hands with the Ming Dynasty again?"
