On the eve of the decisive battle, in the west of the inner city, Baita Temple.

This is the camp of the former Fengtai camp, Delentai, the commander of the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner, facing Fuchengmen. Like the outer city, here is also ready to fight on the alleys. Baita Temple is located in the middle of the west city, and is close to Fuchengmen. It is naturally an excellent place for the commander of the camp in the west of the city.

It was midnight, and the entire Xicheng except for the barracks were all pitch black.

The sky is covered with clouds, and the second heavy snow after the beginning of winter is coming, and the moon is gone, and the sky and the earth seem to be dark. If it weren't for the snow on the ground, there was a huge dark semi-circular ball on the entire ground.

In the largest monk's house in Baita Temple, a lonely lamp was swaying with the strong wind coming from outside the window, and it was dim and light, and the light seemed to disappear at any time.

Under the lonely lamp, a tall and strong middle-aged man was looking at him with a wrinkled piece of yellow paper.

I saw this man's wide forehead, round face, thin eyebrows, and a sparse yellow-brown beard under his jaw. His waist and abdomen were extremely thick. His braid was very thick, which was quite different from the tail of a monk. It seemed that a small pot was pressed upside down on the back of his head, and the braid was wrapped on it, and then inserted it with a black iron hairpin.

This person is Umit Delentai, the general manager of Xicheng, the governor of the Mongolian Zhenghuang Banner, the former general manager of Hulunbuir, and the leader of the Umit tribe, the largest tribe of Hulunbuir.

Of course, in his generation, he was no longer the kind of barbarians who could not speak Manchu, Mongolian, or Chinese. He used to serve as the imperial guard of Emperor Qianlong, and was close to his body. It was obviously not possible to not recognize one of them.

After the wheel of history entered the Qianlong era, due to the oppression of the Cossacks, a large number of Soren people left near Lake Baikal and migrated to the Qing Dynasty, which was "Mansuo" according to the Qing court. Of course, this is also one of the main contents of the Treaty of Nebuchu.

Delentai is not only proficient in Manchu, Mongolian, and Chinese. I saw that this extremely thin yellow letter paper says it is Mongolian!

During the Qing Dynasty, the emperors were basically familiar with the three characters of Manchuria, Mongolian and Han. Unlike the Ming Dynasty, the emperors would write letters to Mongolian princes and princes from time to time, and naturally they used Mongolian characters. For example, Lin Danhan and Huang Taiji had repeatedly communicated, and the royal family of that era was very familiar with Mongolian characters.

In the letter, Lin Danhan called Huang Taiji contemptuously the "Lord of the East China Sea" and called himself the "Lord of the Desert", which also annoyed the latter to a certain extent, causing him to pursue him endlessly.

The Umit family is known as the Soren people, but is actually the Daur people. It is distributed throughout the Heilongjiang River Basin, while the Umit family is located north of Khalkha and the Shileka River Basin centered on Nibchu. They are actually Mongolianized Jurchens.

Of course, some people say that they are descendants of the Khitans.

In any case, since they are Mongolian Jurchens, compared with the Jurchens who are actually mainly fishing, hunting and infantry warfare, they are also proficient in the skills of the Mongolians, that is, they are tribes that are both cyclists and scholastics.

This is the main reason why the Sorens were able to become the elite of the Qing army during the Qianlong dynasty.

In addition, they have been fighting against the Russians for a long time, and they are no strangers to firearms, and they are still one of the few tribes that can fire guns immediately at this time.

If Hailancha is an outstanding representative of the Solon people east of the Greater Xing'an Mountains, then Delentai is definitely an excellent representative of the Solon people in the Ling'an Mountains.

Delentai has read this letter three times, and when he saw it the fourth time, he couldn't help but put his eyes closer to the end of the letter.

There is a signature there.

"Observe the World"

"Bogda Tenggis Saiyin Hutuktu Genghis Khan"

"Krett.Qitard"

This was obviously stamped by Qitade with one of his many large seals carved with peach stone.

After watching for a long time, he slowly rolled up the letter paper, stuffed it into a white wax ball, and stood up again. He walked to the door and opened the door suddenly. A strong wind of coldness surged in.

This cold was really not worth mentioning for him who grew up in Hulunbuir. He walked into the yard with a few guards from the Umit tribe standing in the corner. He looked at the roof and had nothing but a layer of thin snow that was looming.

Since Suha, Hatu and other Truqin intelligence personnel surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing court's sticks were obviously more systematic than in history, and their functions were obviously much greater. Delentai probably heard of the eavesdropping on the roof.

He has to be careful of some things.

Of course, as the wild Umit clan suddenly became the clan of the Qing Dynasty, he became the master of the Hulunbuir Mongols. Delentai should be grateful wholeheartedly, but people are alive after all, and the Sorens are far less likely to accept the culture of the Central Plains than the Han people.

The concept of the king, the ministers and ministers is far less profound than that of the Han people. Delungtai's heart, the influence of the grassland chief is still the main one. This is also one of the reasons why Huang Taiji got the seal of Lin Dankhan's Yuan Empire and then served as the Mongolian Khan.

However, although there are chiefs at all levels on the grassland, their influence on the herdsmen is far less than that of the Central Plains emperor on the farmers, and the idea of ​​serving the king is not as strong as that of the king, unless Emperor Qianlong is an outstanding leader who can truly compete with Genghis Khan on the grassland.

When he was obviously not, he was just a nominal Mongolian Khan.

What's more, they were the Sorens who had just joined the Qing Dynasty?

In their place, the tribe, that is, relatives gather together, and then the elders in the village serve as chiefs. Rather than being chiefs, they are clan leaders, sometimes they are part-time shamans in the clan.

Be loyal to them?

Impossible.

If the letter was simply written to him by Qitad, he was not so excited, but the sender of the letter shocked him even more than Qitad.

Aisin Gioro.Hongqian!

He naturally recognized Hongqian. Since his daughter married Zhang Henxue, Hongqian also obtained the title of the lowest-level auxiliary duke of the royal family. Although he still lived in his original house and did not hang the plaque of the auxiliary duke, he was the auxiliary duke of the imperial court. No official in the court knew about it.

Although his daughter married the giant chief of Truqin, a descendant of the Kangxi Dynasty, who had done such a thing, shocked him.

Looking at the faint snow on the roofs of various palaces and buildings in the distance, Delentai couldn't help but think a lot.

"In this situation where a large army is approaching, is there only one Hongqian? I wonder how many unsatisfactory bannermen in the whole city are still there?"

If he followed his previous actions, he would immediately arrest Hongqian and submit the letter to Lord Agui. It would be inevitable that His Highness Prince Qing would, but now...

"Hundreds of thousands of king-stricken troops can breathe!"

Not long ago, Agui's passionate speech in the hall was still heard. At that time, the civil and military officials, including Delentai, were also excited in an instant, but Delentai knew that it was really just a morale-enhancing word?

Not to mention that hundreds of thousands of things are impossible. If you really come, how can you block the attack of the Truqins' firearm?

Yes, Emperor Qianlong also knew about these things. He was very clear and gave Agui a simple and clear order to "delay time and delay the pace of the bandits."

Delentai, one of the commanders of the three major camps, naturally knew the inside story and knew that the subtext behind this order was "both burned by both jade and stone".

That is to let yourself and all the Saurons who remained in the capital and the city die.

However, if he really wants to surrender to the Truqin people, he still has to think about it. His favorite pair of children and their mother were taken away by Emperor Qianlong. If he knew that he had surrendered, their lives would definitely not exist.

There was another thing that shocked him.

The current general manager of Hulunbuir and deputy governor of Soren, his clan brother Haci has defected to Qitade!

Rather than saying that this letter was written by Haci, it was better to say that it was written by Haci, but Qitade stamped his own seal after the letter.

Although he came to Beijing, most of his relatives still lived in Hulunbuir. Emperor Qianlong was able to attack his wives, concubines and children, and the Truqins were able to attack his tribe!

Where to go?

Delentai sighed in his heart.

"Yiya"

While he was at a loss, the door between the front and back yards opened, and then a Soren guard who was on duty in the front yard walked in.

As soon as Delentai saw the thing in the man's hand, his pupils couldn't help but shrink.

Another wax pill!

“When did you see it?”

"Just thrown in from outside"

"Who is outside?"

"A pair of patrolmen and soldiers just passed by"

This person was a relative who Delentai got from Hulunbuir just a year ago. He only knows Soren's language and he trusts it very much.

"Is that one of them?"
Chapter completed!
