In the Yongzheng years, Tsewang Arabtan died and his son, Galdan Tseling, succeeded him. Emperor Yongzheng hoped to solve the Junggar problem through peaceful means, so he sent an envoy to the quasi-ministry to bestow the title of Galdan Tse Linghong Taiji, hoping that he would hand over Robzangdanjin and accept the management of the central government. Not only did Galdan Celing refuse to hand over Robtsangdanjin, but he also refused the title given by Yongzheng and stubbornly insisted on his policy of separation. Therefore, Emperor Yongzheng sent Fu Erdan, the minister of Wei, as the general of Jingbian and went out of the north road. The Governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, Yue Zhongqi, led the army to attack Junggar from the west. In the face of the army, Galdan Celing pretended that he was ready to hand it over to Robzangdanjin, but he returned only after hearing that the Qing army was dispatched. Emperor Yongzheng decided to postpone it for a year in order to do his best to strive for a peaceful solution. After the Qing army slowed down, the Zhungar army attacked the Qing army camp, causing great losses to the Qing army. The peaceful solution failed again. In April, Fordan led the North Army stationed in Khobudor. On June 20, Fuerdan, who believed in the false report of the surrender of the Junggar army, sent troops to attack the Bokto Ridge and was ambushed by the Junggar army. He retreated to Hetongbo under the ridge and was surrounded by the rebel army on the 21st. After three days of fierce fighting, most of the Mongolian soldiers under his command were scattered, leaving only 4000 Manzhou officers and soldiers to protect the baggage and retreat. They were chased by the Junggar army along the way. By July 1, there were only 2000 people left when they returned to Kobuddo. In the battle with Tongbo, the Qing army lost more than 10,000 people, and seven generals above the vice-commander level, including Jue Luo (a title of the Qing royal family), Hai Lan, and the scattered minister Dafu.
Mi Yin was still shivering in the small sable dragon robe, but he gritted his teeth and tried his best to make his posture look majestic. In the big tent behind him, all the officials were waiting for Hongli's instructions.
Hong Li, who was wearing a fur dragon costume, looked very energetic. Looking at the officers below, he seemed very happy. These were all his fierce generals.
"All of you are the pillars of my imperial court, the important ministers of the country. Today, this king is honored to be able to come here with you on a mission.”Hongli was not stingy with his words. In his opinion, these people would be his future team. "The Heavenly Bestowal Banquet has ended. This king has seen your performance.
"The Prince of Horqin, Yabu, requests an audience."”
After entering, Ya Bu did not even bow and said anxiously,"Your Highness, we just received an urgent military report from Zhang Huacheng. There are about ten thousand men under Gerdan's command, and they are rushing towards my Keerqin. My father has already moved to my clan's military camp. He's worried about your safety and asked me to ask your highness to move over quickly!”
"Ah!" everyone was shocked
Hong Li quickly calmed down and roared at the generals who were whispering to each other,""What are you panicking about? Listen to my command, the entire camp will move out immediately. I'll give you a moment to gather. When the time is up, set off immediately!”He waved the quiver on the table to the ground.
Secret Yin picked up a token arrow from the ground like Sucre and rushed out of the tent. As the horn sounded, most of the soldiers who had fallen asleep quickly put on their clothes and led their horses. For a moment, the horse servants shouted and it was chaotic for half a moment before they were divided into left, middle, and right groups.
Shan Bu Camp and the hundred or so guards of the Prince's Residence were all incorporated into Hongli's central army. If they really fought, these guards who were skilled in riding horses could only take on the defensive task. The Valiant Cavalry Battalion quickly entered a state of mind. The Heavenly Frost Armor chilled their weapons, and the entire cavalry team quickly quieted down. Although the soldiers did not know what had happened, everyone silently drew their swords and reined in their horses, waiting for the commander's orders.
According to Secret Yin's instructions, after sending out four scouts, he quietly asked Secret Yin," Sir, is there anything wrong tonight?”
Secret Yin looked at his men who were staring blankly. He didn't answer, but rushed to a guard who was still looking left and right. He raised his whip and whipped him until the royal guard stood straight.
After taking out more than ten guards, the entire Middle Corps was back to normal. In the end, Secret Yin did not say a word. When the entire army was in position and felt that the military appearance was much better, he stepped on the stirrups and mounted his horse. Secret Yin was actually very nervous. For some reason, there might be a war. Just as he was hesitating whether to mobilize the army, Hongli came out of the tent.
Hongli's calmness in the face of the enemy made Yin Mi feel extremely moved. However, Secret Yin knew that even if he ran into King Keerqin's camp, so what? The imperial court had always been carrying out the policy of weakening Mongolia. Keerqin was close to Shengjing, and Yongzheng had repeatedly weakened the power of the various tribes. Now, there were less than ten thousand people in Keerqin Mongolia who could fight. In addition to the current haste, there were only three thousand people gathered. With less than 5,000 soldiers, how could they resist the sneak attack of the Cavalry of the Gerdan Tribe?
The 20-mile journey was covered in no time. From afar, he saw a large group of yurts burning with flames. Thousands of enemy troops were chasing after the remnants of the Horqin Tribe. Yabu's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets, and he cried out loud. He pulled out his saber and was about to charge forward to fight for his life, but everyone hurriedly held him back. The enemy's forces were more than three times ours, and they were all elite soldiers who had fought in the desert for a long time. Hongli naturally could not allow him to charge down.
A large group of enemy cavalry turned around and charged at Yin Mi and the others. The enemy scouts discovered this Qing Dynasty army. Hong Li ordered loudly,"The Valiant Cavalry Battalion will follow me as the vanguard. The central army will bring up the rear and retreat!"”
The moment the order was given, the Valiant Cavalry Battalion started to move. Over a thousand people rode their horses and galloped.
The Valiant Cavalry Battalion was well-trained, and in the blink of an eye, they had left the middle army behind. Secret Yin was shocked when he saw the pursuers gradually approaching and quickly whipped them. It wasn't until they ran fifty to sixty miles that the distance between them and the pursuers was pulled apart. Seeing that the pursuers were slowly giving up, Concealment heaved a sigh of relief.
Secret Yin felt a burning pain on his inner thigh and butt, and knew that his skin was worn out. Secret Yin decided to rest the entire camp for a while and checked the number of people. Eleven people were injured by arrows and ten were missing. The losses were considered small. It was very easy to complete the task of counting the supplies. Because they had been busy escaping, they had lost all the supplies. In the small circle formed by a few horses, they did not dare to light the torch. Secret Yin summoned a few guards above Rank-6 to discuss what to do next.
Now that they were short of rations and tents, everyone's cotton clothes were very thick. They would probably freeze to death on the spot. The guards were all pampered young masters in the capital, and Secret Yin was completely unfamiliar with Mongolia. For a moment, no one could come up with a plan.
Just as he was feeling troubled, he brought in a third-grade guard. This guard was telling others that he was a Mongolian and was very familiar with this place. Bring him in and see if he can help. From the little guard's mouth, Secret Yin understood that there was really no other way except to pursue Hongli. This was because within a radius of 600 miles, the only palace was Keerqin, who had just escaped. In other regions, if one was lucky, they might encounter some herdsmen. However, it was generally difficult to have food tents that could supply 500 people. On the grasslands in March, there were no food tents. At most, they could last for two days before they died of hunger and cold. Go after Hongli,
Everyone looked at Secret Yin, waiting for him to make a decision.
A thought flashed through Secret Yin's mind, and he shook his head.
"What do you think the Gerdan Tribe is planning by sending a cavalry from afar?”
"..." The guards did not expect Secret Yin to be in the mood to think about national affairs.
After the Battle of Tongbo, Galdan Ce's ambition swelled, and he took advantage of the Qing army's defeat to send troops to plunder the Kalkha Mongolia. The Mongolian brave general of Kalka, Efu Celing, led the elite soldiers to intercept the Junggar army in Edenchuke and won a great victory. He was granted the title of prince because of his meritorious service. Galdan Celing did not learn the lesson of the Battle of Edenchuko and once again sent a small Celing Dundobu with 30,000 troops to attack the Kalkha Mongol Empire, plundering a large number of people and livestock. Prince Ce Ling immediately led 20,000 troops to attack the enemy camp at night at the western foot of Hang Ai Mountain. Little Ce Lingdun Duobu's army was caught off guard and abandoned their supplies to escape. Ce Ling led his troops to chase after them. They fought more than ten times along the way until they reached Guangxian Temple. The rebel army was limited by the terrain and had no way to retreat. Ce Ling led his troops to attack the enemy, killing more than ten thousand people and dyeing the river red.
"This king thinks that they must be trying to kill the chicken to scare the monkey. Through the massacre of Keerqin, they will scare off the Mongol tribes loyal to the imperial court and achieve their goal of splitting up. If the imperial court did not send troops to suppress them, it would hurt the hearts of the various tribes. To suppress them, they would need a large number of troops and financial resources. This would also fall into Gerdan's goal of dividing the troops of our country! The cavalrymen in the vast desert were very difficult to deal with. They were soldiers who could escape thousands of miles if they missed their target! Troops? Ha-"
Secret Yin stood up and asked the guards," Did you see how many enemies there were today?”
Everyone had a few mouths, but there were no more than four thousand of them.
A gust of cold wind blew against General Li. He stood up and cupped his hands in salute."Wangye, if you have any plans, please say it! At most it's death, I'd rather die like a man
After the Battle of Zhaomoduo, in order to not give Galdan a chance to catch his breath, in the second year of the battle. At this time, the Galdan tribe had already left the rebellion, leaving only 500 to 600 people. They had run out of ammunition and food and could only kill horses for food every day. The desperate Galdan tribe had attempted to flee to Russia. The Russian government, which had once invited Galdan to join Russian citizenship, was no longer interested in Galdan, who had lost his value. He "wanted to go north to Russia, but Russia refused."
The splittist activities of a few upper nobles in Junggar did not stop because of this, and the struggle between the Qing Dynasty and the splittist forces in Junggar would continue for a long time.
