Emperor Chongzhen had just arrived in Yangzhou at this time and received a report from Baotou Governor Yang Sichang. So he was extremely sorry to notify Concubine Tian, ​​sorry that this Yangzhou visit to relatives was cancelled, and he had to rush to the capital to handle emergency affairs immediately.

After hearing this, Concubine Tian was not unhappy at all, but also highly agreed that Emperor Chongzhen should put state affairs first and only demanded that he would accompany her back to Yangzhou next time.

Emperor Chongzhen naturally agreed without thinking. At this time, his thoughts were all in the north.

Since Liaodong was recovered and the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, there were no enemies in the north of the Ming Dynasty. The focus of the Ming Dynasty was actually to the feudal and overseas national policy of the vassal kings, and the focus was on the Southeast Asian country.

As for the current situation, Annan, Nanzhang, Angkor, and even the Mughal dynasty had wars. A little further away, Luzon has been defeated, and the next big battle is likely to be the war between the South China Sea and the Western colonists.

However, these southern wars were dominated by southern troops. In this era, if the northern troops were transferred to the South Ocean, not to mention fighting with the enemy, non-combat reductions, which were not adapted to the local conditions, would not be able to bear the Ming Dynasty.

This means that the army that was built before the Ming Dynasty, that is, the army in the nine-sided towns, was basically a decoration and was left idle. This is not in line with the national interests of the Ming Dynasty. If the army does not fight, even if it is trained in daily life, its combat effectiveness will be deteriorated.

Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen had always wanted to find a job for the northern army, so he specially laid the foreshadowing of Wei Lat Mongolia. Unexpectedly, there was a reward so quickly. If he didn't take this opportunity to make the northern army move, he would lose so much military pay.

However, once the northern army goes to fight on a large scale, it will not only be consumed by military pay. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen must first calculate the cost and benefits of the battle and see how to maximize the benefits.

In the chat group, Emperor Chongzhen immediately ordered Yang Sichang: "Weilat Mongolia is my vassal. Now that we are in danger, I will never ignore it. Please send someone to contact Eqiertu Khan and tell him that the Ming Dynasty will immediately prepare for war and rescue Wei Lat. However, the army is starting, and the army needs to be allocated. He needs to persevere and wait for the Ming army to arrive!"

Yang Sichang was overjoyed when he received this decree. He finally had the opportunity to obtain military merits. He didn't believe it anymore. He would not be the governor of Baotou this time, and he would not be as the governor of Baotou!

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen added: "Eqiertu Khan was seriously injured, so he can come to the Ming Dynasty quickly. I will send the best imperial physician to the grassland to treat his injuries."

After giving these instructions, he immediately notified the governor and governor of the important towns in Jiubian to count the available people and money, and at the same time notified the cabinet chief Wen Tiren, asking him to count the money and food of the court. He should know that with the current ability of the court, he could support the Ming Dynasty in the north.

Although there was no accurate data at this time, Emperor Chongzhen actually knew something. In recent years, the Ming Dynasty opened its sea, hosted by the cold-faced King Sun Chuanting, and the taxes collected were equivalent to the total revenue of the previous treasury, and even more.

The wars launched in the south mostly used the money and grain of the vassal kings from various places, and the court did not pay much. However, there were many benefits. Not only did the large amount of grain fields occupied by the vassal kings become tax fields after auction without affecting the ancestral system, but more importantly, the vassal kings built a new construction, diverting a large number of disaster victims and refugees, reducing the pressure within the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, in history, the civil unrest that eventually crushed the Ming Dynasty. Since the thieves in Shaanxi were suppressed and the feudal kings were launched, no climate had been formed at all, which greatly alleviated the Ming Dynasty's finances and prevented the people's livelihood in various parts of the Ming Dynasty from being damaged.

Another invisible benefit is that the new construction of the vassal states greatly promoted the circulation of goods. The silver hidden among the people and hidden in the cellars of the Ming Dynasty was also mobilized to participate in commodity production, circulation and the construction of the vassal states. The benefits brought by this economic activity are not obvious in the short term, but for Emperor Chongzhen from later generations, he was convinced that as time goes by, the economic takeoff of the Ming Dynasty will surely drive the Ming Dynasty's economic growth.

With all the benefits, Emperor Chongzhen had reason to believe that if he wanted to fight in the north, he should not be short of money, but food was a problem. For this reason, he focused on asking his ministers, such as the Governor of Naturalization, Hong Chengchou, and Xu Guangqi, Minister of Personnel, about the promotion of high-yield crops in recent years. The specific data he must obtain before the imperial meeting in the capital.

Not to mention that Emperor Chongzhen rushed to the capital in a hurry, he said that when Yang Sichang received the emperor's will, he immediately invited the Weilat Mongolian envoy who went back to rest and conveyed the meaning of the Emperor Ming Dynasty.

When the emissary of the Weilat Mongolian heard this, he burst into tears. You know, at this time, the Weilat Mongolia was facing the crisis of national destruction, and the Ming Dynasty's helping hand was more precious than at any other time.

At this time, the emissary of Weilat was very grateful to Gushihan. It was because Gushihan was foresighted, opposed the public and had a good relationship with the Ming Dynasty, which had no contact at that time. As a result, he received the most valuable help at this critical moment.

In this way, I believe that with the Ming Dynasty sending troops and Gushikhan's return to help, Wei Lat Mongolia will definitely be able to overcome the difficulties this time!

The Mongol envoy of Weilat was extremely excited when he thought about this, and he also wanted his tribe members to know the good news in time. So with the help of Yang Sichang, he sent his followers and led the envoys and guards sent by Yang Sichang, and rushed back to report the news day and night.

Watching the letter delivery team go away, although the Mongol envoy of Weilat could not go back to see Dahan due to physical reasons, he could imagine how excited the Khan would be after he learned the good news.

...

Tianshan Mountain is one of the seven major mountain systems in the world. It is located in the hinterland of Eurasia. It is about 2,500 kilometers long and has an average width of 250-350 kilometers from north to south. It is more than 800 kilometers wide at the widest point. It is the largest independent latitude mountain system in the world, the farthest from the ocean in the world and the largest mountain system in the world in arid areas.

On the Tianshan Mountains, snow is accumulated all year round, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The fresh water formed by the melting of snow nourishes everything around the Tianshan Mountains, and naturally includes the Weilat Mongolia in this surrounding area.

At this time, Weilat Mongolia suffered a great disaster, and many tribes from Weilat Mongolia hid in the Tianshan Mountains before escaping. Among them, some leaders of the Heshuote tribe, including their Khan Eziertu.

They really didn't expect that they would encounter such a great disaster. For a moment, people were inseparable from panic.

Eziertu Khan was the Khan king for more than a year, so he naturally experienced it. Although he was also very frightened when he saw this situation, he would not show it on the surface. Every time he woke up from a coma, he would comfort his tribe members.

"We Weilat Mongolia have not encountered disasters. We were defeated by Khalkha Mongolia before, but in the end, didn't we beat them back together?"

"Don't worry, Ben Khan has sent a letter of help from both Shu Khan and Da Ming. I believe reinforcements will come soon."

"You must have confidence. Even if the Ming Dynasty is too far away and the soldiers are powerless, but Shu Khan's side has thicker blood than water, he will definitely lead the troops back to rescue him."

"What I took away was the elite of our Weilat Mongolia, and what I wanted was invincible. As long as everyone waited patiently, we would definitely take revenge on the day!"

“…”

Every time, after Eziertu Khan woke up from a coma, he kept comforting his tribe, which made his tribe feel much more at ease. Because, they felt that Eziertu Khan was right!

Slowly, in the Weilat Mongolia, people from several other tribes also came over, and the news was summarized to Eziertu.

The Urat Mongolia is the strongest with the Khosut tribe and the Junggar tribe. Therefore, this time the raid was also the biggest blow for these two tribes. Among them, the Tsarist Russians were truly killed for the Wei Lat Mongol tribe. The Junggar tribe suffered the most severe losses, and the clan leader was almost wiped out, and only a small number of herders who had not gathered for the winter escaped.

The situation is very unoptimistic. Every time a new tribe comes, the news brought back will definitely make everyone's morale depressed.

In this case, Eziertu, who was a great Khan, had to repeat his words again to encourage his people not to give up hope, wait for reinforcements, make a comeback, and take revenge.

His own situation is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and he often has a coma.

Every time Eziertu wakes up, he will ask the people next to him.

"Is there any news from Uncle Khan? Is there any news from Daming?"

"How are the Tsarist Russia and the Khalkha people now? Are they leaving?"

"How many tribe members have we been killed, and how many tribe members have escaped?"

“…”

Faced with one problem after another, Eziertu rarely hears good news.

"Reported to Da Khan, there is no news on Gushi Khan's side, and there is no news on Da Ming side. Da Khan is worried that they will definitely be able to come, but it's too far and it will take time."

"This time, Tsarist Russia and Khalkha seemed to be determined to destroy us. The Khalkha tribes snatched all our cattle and sheep, women and children below the shaft, and others were killed by them. Tsarist Russia was still so inhumane, not only snatched cattle and sheep, but also killed women and children, and the babies were not spared."

"Now, some tribes have just fled back one after another. Both Dulbert and Turgut tribes have fled back, but their tribes have suffered great losses."

“…”

After hearing this, Eziertu stopped asking because he knew that the situation was very bad. Asking too much would only wait for more bad news and affect the morale of the tribe.

So, after Eziertu woke up, he forced himself to inspect his tribe members.

He couldn't even stand firm and needed his own personal guard to force him to patrol.

In this canyon in the Tianshan Mountains, Eziertu is everywhere.

Check the injuries of the injured tribal warriors, comfort them, and even squeeze out the wounded medicine they used to give them to the injured tribal warriors. Although the tribal warriors would not accept these wounded medicines in the end, Eziertu's kindness won their loyalty.

He rushed into this temporary shelter, with food and clothing shortage, Eziertu tried to eat evenly and let his personal guards distribute it to those tribe members. He also tried his best to comfort those relatives who suffered heavy casualties or whose whereabouts were unknown.

His every move made the entire canyon warm. These survivors of Virat Mongolia were very grateful, and they felt sorry for the sweat and asked him to rest and stop working like this.

However, Eziertu refused. He said to the person who advised him: "I am the Khan. The tribe suddenly suffered this sudden attack and suffered heavy losses. It is my responsibility. How can I recover from this situation with peace of mind? I once swear that I will lead the Velag Mongolia to glory. I always remember this vow. Don't worry, as long as I have a breath, I will work hard for it. This setback is the test of Velag Mongolia by Changshengtian. As long as we can hold on, when my uncle Khan comes back, it is the day of our counterattack. I swear here that I will make those cruel hungry wolves pay the price they deserve!"

At this time, Eziertu was very stubborn. Sometimes, when he was patrolling, his injuries broke out and he fainted. However, after he woke up, he continued to patrol and encouraged his tribe.

It’s true that, slowly, the canyon is no longer shrouded in the sad atmosphere. Many people become stronger, just like wolves, just licking their wounds, waiting for their wolf king to take them out for revenge.

Time slowly passed, and more and more tribe members gathered, and the other tribes hiding in the canyon were also contacted here. Everyone was waiting, waiting for reinforcements to arrive, and they would break out of the canyon, break out of the Tianshan Mountains, and take revenge!

Eziertu was young, or Eziertu was strong enough, and his coma was finally reduced slowly and his spirits were getting better day by day. Although his injuries were not completely healed, he saw signs of good fortune. This made the people of the Weilat Mongolian people very excited. They believed that under the leadership of Eziertu, they would definitely win again and again like last year.

On this day, Eziertu was patrolling, and suddenly, the lookout whistle reported that a fast horse was coming here. It seemed that the messenger had returned.

Everyone was excited when he heard this, and Eziertu was even more excited. He had been holding it in for a long time, and this time it was finally time to take revenge. He couldn't even wait, so he went to the entrance of the canyon. The lookout sent the news from time to time.

"No enemy discovers it, everything is safe!"

"It's confirmed that the messenger has returned."

"I saw it clearly. It was the messenger who went to Gushikhan to ask for help!"

“…”

The news is exciting. After so many days, Eziertu had a rare smile on his face and clenched his fist and said to the people around him: "The blood is thicker than water after all. When my uncle Khan heard the news, he immediately sent someone back."

"Send the order to prepare all the tribe members. See how Uncle Khan needs us to cooperate, we will cooperate, kill all the Khalkha people and all the Tsarist Russian devils!"

“…”

The most exciting moment is finally here.

When Eziertu led his tribe to the entrance of the valley, they had already seen that the sentries in the valley came hurriedly with a few people. At this time, it was clear that the person accompanied by the sentry was the messenger who sent him to Shu Khan for help.

However, when they saw the messenger's expression clearly, everyone's hearts sank. Because the messenger's expression was very solemn, and even sad and angry.

Eziertu's heart also sank. At this moment, he immediately thought a lot in his heart.

Could it be that I couldn’t find my uncle Khan and returned without success?

Or, could it be that Uncle Khan was not good at the job and suffered heavy losses and could not return to the rescue?

Or maybe, you are fighting against the enemy and can't get out, right?

...

In just a short moment, Eziertu thought a lot.

The messenger who came hurriedly naturally saw Dahan waiting for him. He naturally knew in his heart what Dahan was longing for, and he couldn't help but feel even more sad and angry.

He quickly reached Dahan, and he fell to the ground, his head hit the grass, and reported in great grief and anger: "Dahan, the villain is incompetent and cannot ask for reinforcements..."

"What?" Hearing this, many people confirmed their guesses, but still made a shocked voice. They didn't want to hear such news in their hearts.

Eziertu's body also shook. After all, Gushikhan's reinforcements were his greatest expectation and his greatest reliance.

Before the envoy finished speaking, he immediately asked with a serious face, "What's going on? Didn't I find my uncle Khan? Or was it because I was defeated? It's impossible that my uncle Khan was wiped out, right? Or..."

Hearing his guess, the messenger suddenly raised his head and interrupted Eziertu a little rudely, and with anger, he almost roared: "None of them are the big khan!"

His response made Eqiertu feel stunned, and everyone else immediately became quiet, all looking at him, with a slight shock on his face. I wonder why the messenger had such a reaction?

No one asked, and then he heard the messenger looking up at Eziertu, and continued to report in grief and anger: "The villain went through day and night, and finally caught up with Gushikhan, handed the blood letter of the great sweat to Gushikhan, and told us about the situation of our Weila tribe. But... but..."

The messenger said two consecutive words, but finally said the following words: "Gushi Khan said that he had just defeated the Karma Kingdom and Zangpa Khan fled in a hurry. Now it is a great opportunity to regain Lhasa. Now, he cannot return to help."

When Eziertu heard this, his face turned pale, but he immediately shouted: "Didn't you explain our situation clearly? You..."

"Great Khan, the villain said, the villain said everything, begged Gushikhan to return to help. But..." The messenger knelt on the ground and said in grief and anger, "Gushikhan still said that he would pacify the Karma Kingdom first!"
