The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Mongoljin tribe.

Huoshai looked at the body of Bogezan in front of him, his face gloomy to the extreme.

The warriors of Yongshebu tribe threw Bogezan's body outside their camp, then conveyed Yibula's original words and left on their own.

Huoshai was facing a difficult choice at this moment.

Should he choose to betray Dayan Khan completely, or choose to turn back and help Dayan Khan quell the right-wing rebellion?

This choice was not difficult for Yibula and Mandulai, the lords of different surnames.

You want to split my tribe, and use Jinong to deprive me of my right to rule the tribe, so I will naturally rise up and fight you to the death!

This is the true thought of all the lords of different surnames.

But Huoshai is different. He is the first general under Dayan Khan, and he has a deep friendship with Batu Mengke like a brother, and they are also in-laws.

Huoshai married Mandulu's second daughter Princess Isik, known as Tabunang (son-in-law), and was an absolute brother to Dayan Khan. Huoshai helped Batu Mengke raise his third son Barsbolot, so the two sides looked like a family.

Moreover, two people played a key role in Batu Mengke's unification of the grassland and reconstruction of the Golden Family. One was his wife Manduhai and the other was Huoshai.

Manduhai was from the Wanggu tribe of Mongolia, and the Wanggu tribe was a generational in-law of Genghis Khan's Golden Family.

Manduhai first married the Mongolian Khan Mandugul (Mandulu Khan) and was a little Khatun (wife). She was Mandugul's concubine and had two daughters with Mandugul. The eldest daughter was Princess Borokqin and the second daughter was Princess Iksi. Princess Borokqin married Taishi Yijiasilan, and Princess Iksi married Huoshai. Yijiasilan and Huoshai were both lords of the Mongolian majority at that time.

Mandugul Khan died of illness after four years in office. He had no son to inherit the Khanship. In the same year, he and his Grand Master Qiejia Silan conspired to kill Bayan Mongke, the deputy Khan, and annexed his Ordos tribe. After Mandugul Khan died, Manduhai Khatun inherited the tribes directly under the Khan, including some of the tribes that annexed Bayan Mongke, the former Khan, which was very powerful.

Mongolia has always had the custom of heirs taking the concubines of the deceased. Since Mandugul Khan had no heir, the next Khan could take his wives and concubines. According to normal procedures, the new Khan should be elected first, and then the Khan would take the wife, tribe, property, cattle and sheep of the previous Khan.

However, Mongolia had always been in a state of division and civil strife, which undoubtedly gave those lords of different surnames a great opportunity to steal power. Under their support, many people wanted to compete for the throne of the Khan, but they were not direct descendants of Genghis Khan.

However, due to legal reasons, Said, who was of a different surname, could not participate in this competition, so it became that whoever could marry Manduhai could receive the tribe and become the Great Khan. Therefore, the powerful people who coveted the Khan's throne were eager to ask Manduhai for marriage.

Manduhai was a great Khatun. In this important historical period, in order to maintain the stability of Mongolia and preserve the inheritance of the Golden Family, he searched for the only legitimate heir to the Khan's throne, Batu Mengke, the orphan of the Deputy Khan Bayan Mengke.

But at that time, Batu Mengke was only four years old, displaced, weak and difficult to govern. Manduhai proposed to maintain Genghis Khan's Golden Family to inherit the Khan's throne and called for the unification of Mongolia. She said that she would rather sacrifice everything to achieve the unification of Mongolia.

Therefore, Manduhai, who was already 30 years old at the time, resolutely married the young orphan Batu Mengke, and tried her best to help him obtain the Khan's throne, and honored him as Dayan Khan.

This decision caused a great uproar on the grassland, because not only was Manduhai much older than Batu Mengke, a full 25 years older, but also in terms of seniority, Manduhai was Batu Mengke's great-aunt (two generations older), and most importantly, Batu Mengke's father, Boluo Hujinong Bayan Mengke, was an enemy of Mandugul Khan not long ago.

In fact, Manduhai's marriage to the orphan Batu Mengke seemed absurd, but it was a helpless move.

After the deliberate massacre by the beast Choros Yesen, the descendants of the Golden Family were few in number, and Batu Mengke might have been the one with the highest order of succession at that time.

And from Yesen's example, if a person of a different surname became the Khan, he would immediately become the target of public criticism and be attacked by all tribes.

Manduhai married the orphan Batu Mengke, which not only complied with the unwritten rule that non-Golden Family members could not inherit the Khanate, but also did not offend any forces too early. In addition, Batu Mengke's young age could also make the powerful officials relax their vigilance, and stabilize the situation of the Great Mongolia with difficulty. It was undoubtedly a wise and courageous decision!

Manduhai Khatun officially married Dayan Khan Batu Mengke when he was 17 years old.

After Manduhai's unremitting efforts, Batumengke was officially promoted to the Great Khan, and his name was Dayan Khan, which means "all the world". "Dayan Khan" means "Khan of all the world".

Manduhai and Dayan Khan, who later grew up under her education, have always regarded the unification of Mongolia and the restoration of the Yuan Dynasty as their lifelong goals.

Manduhai's first goal was to conquer the Oirat tribes, the old enemy of the Mongolian headquarters, namely the Wala tribe.

Since Khan Batumengke was young, Manduhai put him in a quiver and carried him on his body for protection. He personally led the troops to kill the enemy, and even had his helmet chopped off during the charge, and he almost died because of it. It was precisely because of Manduhai's belief in giving up everything for Mongolia that inspired all the sons of the Mongolian headquarters. They swore to be loyal to this great Khatun and won the victory with difficulty.

After crippling the Oirat, Manduhai continued to make efforts, led the Chahar and Tumed armies with Dayan Khan to attack the powerful minister, Qiasilan, and eliminated this mortal enemy, accepted Qiasilan's people, and returned victoriously.

Since then, Manduhai's last enemy was Master Yismain, and the decisive battle to unify Mongolia was also to eliminate Yismain. Master Yismain was surrounded by the coalition forces of Dayan Khan and the three Uriankhai guards. He did not dare to fight, and fled westward with his wife in a panic. His subordinates were all captured, and several children were looted by the three guards. He kept running westward, and finally retreated to his old nest, Mekeli, in the north of Hami, and saved his life.

Three years later, the desperate Yismain was shot and killed by Huoshai, a general under Dayan Khan!

Manduhai Khatun created a powerful Mongolia with her own strength, and Dayan Khan officially became the Khan who unified the entire Mongolia with her support!

In this critical process, as Manduhai Khatun's son-in-law, Huoshai also followed them to fight north and south, and became the first general under Dayan Khan and Manduhai Khatun. They not only had in-laws, but also had deep feelings of fighting side by side.

Because of this, Huoshai seemed to be wavering in this left-right split.

On the one hand, he was dissatisfied with Dayan Khan's death, and began to suppress and eliminate himself after consolidating his position; on the other hand, Huoshai also did not want Manduhai Khatun's lifelong efforts to be completely wasted because of his participation in the right-wing rebellion.

After the death of her husband, the Great Khan Mandulu, Manduhai Khatun was able to turn the tide and assist Dayan Khan in reversing the chaos of Mongolia for nearly a hundred years and achieving revival. In Mongolian history, Manduhai Khatun's achievements can be compared with Genghis Khan's mother Hoelun!

She is a great Khatun!

Huoshai has always respected her very much and was even willing to die for her.

However, Manduhai Khatun also passed away. He is now a remnant of the old era and a great lord of a different surname that Dayan Khan Batu Mengke had to eliminate!

For a while, Huoshai was a little disappointed and confused.

He had never been so confused in his life.

He didn't know where his fate was.

He was the first meritorious official who assisted Dayan Khan in his rise!

But now, he has become Dayan Khan's biggest enemy in unifying Mongolia!

Manduhai Khatun passed away, and there was no room for easing between Huoshai and Dayan Khan.

This leader who devoted his life to the great cause of Mongolian unification would not stop his steps to eliminate the great lords of different surnames because of personal feelings!

But Huoshai was also unwilling to give up!

He fought for Batu Mengke!

He charged for Batu Mengke!

He gave everything for Batu Mengke's rise!

Now he, Huoshai, is old and dying, but he has to end up with a tragic ending of "the cunning rabbit dies and the running dog is cooked"!

Why?

Why can't you let me die and then annex my tribe?

Huoshai's face began to darken.

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded in the silent night sky!

Before Huoshai could react, his subordinates rushed in to report.

"Sir, something happened!"

"Yibula and Mandulai are coming to kill us!"

"They also used a terrifying firearm, and our warriors can't stop them..."

Hearing this, Huoshai's face changed drastically. He didn't have time to ask any more questions, and immediately put on his armor and rode to the battlefield.

The battle had stopped, and many warriors of the Mengguerjin tribe were lying in a pool of blood, obviously dead.

Seeing this, Huoshai was furious and rushed forward.

"Yibula!"

"Mandulai!"

"What do you want to do?"

"Do you have to force me to fight you to the death?"

Hearing this, Yibula slowly rode forward.

"Hahaha..."

"Huoshai, how is it? Our artillery is sharp enough, right?"

Yibula said proudly: "Don't get me wrong, we are just trying out the artillery of the Ming army!"

Artillery?

Ming army artillery?

Huoshai's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

"Damn it!"

"You actually colluded with the Ming army?"

"Are you doing this to split Mongolia?"

Mandulai sneered: "It is not us who split Mongolia, but Batu Mengke!"

"Huoshai, stop dreaming!"

"You know better than us that Batu Mengke will definitely kill all the lords of different surnames!"

"When he eliminates me and Yibula, the next one will be you, Huoshai!"

Hearing this, Huoshai remained silent and did not refute.

Yibula smiled sinisterly: "Huoshai, you are the first general under Batu Mengke, and you have made great contributions to his rise."

"Then why did Batu Mengke prefer to enthrone the leader of the Khorchin tribe, Ordo Guhai, as Noyan and give him the status of a legitimate great lord, but could not give you, Huoshai, one?"

After this, Huoshai's face became even uglier!

"Because Batu Mengke has always regarded you as a slave, he has long regarded your Mengguerjin tribe as his own!"

"And the Khorchin tribe is powerful, known as the "Two Hundred Thousand Khorchins", so Batu Mengke treats them as brothers and promises that he will never split up the original Khorchin tribe, nor send Khanate officials to govern it, as long as they are loyal to the Khan..."

"Shut up!" Huoshai was furious.

He clenched his fists tightly.

Batu Mengke!

Why are you doing this to me?
