Chapter 1096 Horqin Surrender

In the decisive battle of Daling River, Prince Korqin Wu Keshan was beaten to death, and tens of thousands of Mongolian warriors died tragically on the battlefield.

The Korqin tribe followed the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty was destroyed, and the Korqin tribe also shed blood.

On the vast Korqin grassland, in just half a year, the Korqin tribe quickly declined, and the males in the tribe were all lost, and women and children assumed the responsibility of grazing and protecting the tribe.

Because of the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the Gan army occupied the outside of the pass, and was only a few hundred miles away from the Korqin grassland, which made the tribe panic and the morale of the army deteriorated.

After Wu Keshan was killed by the Ganjun in the Battle of Daling River, Borjijithancha was elected as Prince of Korchin.

Hancha was Wu Keshan's younger brother. He knew very well that the Qing Dynasty was destroyed and Korqin lost his backer, so he was definitely not an opponent of the army.

The Korqin tribe had no strength and continued the war. Only his nephew Biertahar kept shouting all day long to avenge Wu Keshan.

In the tent that Hancha was in the early morning, Hancha was considering leading his troops to move westward, and Biertahar jumped out to object, which made Hancha very angry.

"Second uncle, give me five thousand troops. I will go to Hetuala to serve the king first, take out my aunt and the emperor. Let us take the banner of the Qing Dynasty and lead the tribes in the south of the Mo River to continue working with them!"

Hancha felt a big headache when he heard this. Now all Mongolian tribes want to break up with the Qing Dynasty, but Biertahar was afraid of fighting the court. He didn't know that Korqin had the same relationship with the Qing Dynasty. Isn't it because he was looking for death?

"You go down and help me count the male and horses in the tribe." Hancha was upset and sent Biertahar casually, hoping that he could be more awake and understand the real situation of the Korqin tribe by counting it.

"Uncle Second, if you don't have five thousand, three thousand, it's okay!" Biertahar said anxiously: "You can't stand by death and watch the emperor and aunt fall into the hands of Ganjun!"

"Get out!" Hancha was annoyed by his Balabara and shouted him back.

Seeing this, Biertahar had to leave the tent, leaving behind a distraught Hancha to think about the future of Korqin.

Because most of the male soldiers were lost, the strength of the Korqin tribe was greatly damaged and it would definitely not be able to withstand the attack of the Gan army, but there were also huge risks like migrating westward.

The strong prey on the grassland. If he had led his tribe to migrate, how could the tribes along the way let them go?

Besides, there is fierce competition on the grassland nowadays, and the pastures are full of carrots and pits. Where can they migrate?

Just when he was upset, the curtain was suddenly raised, and a subordinate came in to report, "Prince, Dorgon sent someone to come over and ask the prince to meet him."

"Dorgon?" Hancha was a little surprised. Didn't he surrender to the court?

Hancha soon realized that Dorgon should have been the representative of Gan Chao to recruit Korqin.

Gan Chao was strong, and Korchin could not be offended. Dorgon was once the regent of the Qing Dynasty, so he wanted to give him some face.

Thinking of this, Hancha already had an answer in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Where is the appointment? You can arrange it for me."

At noon the next day, Hancha led a team of guards to a small hill not far from the tribe.

Dorgon led more than a hundred cavalrymen to build a pergola on it and pull a white curtain.

At this time, Dorgon was far away and smiled and said, "Hancha, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you safe?"

Hancha turned over and dismounted, walked to the front but stopped, kept his distance and said vigilantly: "Would I call you the Regent, and I will return to Futai Lord?"

Dorgon sorted out his Ganchao official uniform and said with a smile: "The Qing Dynasty had long been destroyed, and no one could hinder China's revival. Since ancient times, all heroes have chosen good birds and trees to live in. I am now Zhao Duo, the governor of Liaoning in Dagan. You can call me Zhao."

Hancha sighed in his heart, and Dorgon said sideways: "Let's sit down and talk."

The two of them sat down in the pergola, and several soldiers and Mongolian warriors stood on their backs.

Dorgon got a cup of tea for Hancha and said straight to the point: "Hancha, the general trend of the Qing Dynasty destroying Ganxing is coming, and your Korqin tribe should think about it for yourself."

Hancha pondered and said, "How can I betray my husband and mother, my family, and my marriage with the Qing Dynasty? Isn't it unrighteous?"

Dorgon said: "This is a bad thing! The Qing Dynasty betrayed the Ming Dynasty and was born of unrighteousness. For an unrighteous rebellious regime, abandoning him and leaving him is the right to be righteous."

"This~" Hancha didn't say Dorgon, hesitantly said: "Let me consider it."

"Does this still need to be considered? Look, I was the regent of the Qing Dynasty and have surrendered to the Dakan. As a Mongolian, what else can you hold on?" Dorgon took a sip of tea and continued, "Besides, what else can you do if you don't surrender or Dakan? If the Gan army attacks, can you resist with your strength? I know you want to lead the Korqin tribe to move westward to avoid Dakan's military fronts, but you will definitely be attacked by other tribes along the way. In order to please Dakan, they will definitely use you as a letter of surrender. Even if you successfully move westward, you may not avoid the fate of being annexed by Junggar. In this case, why not serve the Gan Dynasty like me, unify Mongolia for Dakan, expand territory, and establish the Anxi Protectorate."

Hancha's eyes lit up, "Is this your idea or what Emperor Dagan means."

Dorgon said: "Of course, it means the Holy Emperor. I know you are worried about liquidation, but the Holy Emperor has not liquidated me. What are you worried about? The Holy Emperor told me that we are all part of China and should work together to the outside world. For those who let go of faults like us, as long as they can fight for China and expand territory for the court, they can make up for their merits and become members of China."

Hancha was moved by Dorgon, pondered for a moment and asked, "I dare to ask Futai, Korqin surrender, how will Dakan deal with the Korqin tribe?"

Dorgon said: "I have already said just now that the generals of the Korqin tribe, like the Jurchen tribe, were reorganized into the New Eight Banners, and then fought for the Holy Emperor and guarded the border for the Dagan Dynasty. The Holy Emperor had already painted a pasture for us, right on the bank of the Volga River!"

Hancha raised his head and drank the tea, and finally made up his mind, "Okay! I, Korqin, are willing to surrender."

Dorgon smiled when he heard this. With Korqin taking the lead, there would be no problem to convince Chahar and the tribes in Mobei.

...

After discussion, Hancha immediately returned to the tribe and sent his subordinates to summon princes and nobles to inform them of the decision to surrender and do the court.

At this time, everyone arrived, and Hancha informed everyone of the conversation with Dorgon. At this moment, Biertahar suddenly broke into the big tent and asked, "Second uncle, do you want to surrender to the Ganchao?"

Hancha said in a deep voice, "Since you know, I will make it clear, and I have indeed decided to surrender. I have said just now. If anyone of you is unwilling to leave here, I will never stop you. But when we meet again in the future, we will be the enemy of your life and death."

Biertahar's face showed a ferocious look, "At first I didn't believe it, but I didn't expect that you really surrendered to the Chanchae. How can you be worthy of my father and how can you be worthy of the Qing Dynasty?"

Han Cha's cheeks were suffocating, suppressing his anger, "The Han people have a saying that those who know the times are heroes. The Qing Dynasty has been defeated. Why should I, the people of Korqin, be buried with them?"

Biertahar said coldly and many nobles in the reconciliation said, "You should have heard that the Taoist is different from each other. I decided to surrender to the Junggar tribe and fight with Gan Chao to the ground. Who would you like to follow me!"

Many Mongolian nobles in the tent looked at each other, and the two walked out, but the rest did not move.

Seeing this, Biltahal leaped his forehead and stomped his feet, "Okay, you cowards, let's go."

After speaking, he turned around and came out of the tent. As soon as the three of them left the tent, the curtain was lowered. The people inside saw the figures shaking outside the tent, and a stream of blood sprayed onto the tent, which shocked everyone inside.

Han Cha burst into tears when he saw this, "Bertahar! You forced me. Don't blame me when you see my elder brother. I will burn paper for you father and son next year today."

...

Hancha decided to surrender, killed Huang Taiji's son-in-law Biertahar, and cleaned up the stubborn members of the Korqin tribe who were unwilling to surrender. Then, according to Dorgon's request, he chose young and strong men and took cattle and sheep to the Chenyang Alliance.

Because of Dorgon's persuasion, and the Korqin tribe that had the closest relationship with the Qing Dynasty, were not afraid of liquidation, so they went to the Chenyang Alliance, and the leaders of the tribes in the south and north of Mohe led their troops to Chenyang to pay homage to Emperor Dagan.
