Galdan? Song Qingshu, hiding behind the plaque, was startled. He remembered that in history, Galdan had founded a powerful steppe state, conquered the nations of the Western Regions and Kazakhstan, and fought Kangxi Emperor for decades. In the end, Kangxi Emperor had only defeated him through the strength of his empire and infighting behind Galdan's lines. However, the Dzungar Khanate would not be completely wiped out until Qianlong's reign.
He had also appeared in The Deer and the Cauldron, where he had sworn brotherhood with Wei Xiaobao and married A'ke's senior sister, A'qi. But in this world, A'jiu was still a little girl and naturally had not taken on any disciples yet. Whether A'qi even existed here was unknown.
Remembering how Shan Yuru had called him the Son of the Sun just now, Song Qingshu's heart stirred. He vaguely recalled Zhao Min mentioning that Temujin had unified the Mongol tribes in his early years, and his final powerful enemy had been the Naiman tribe. The Naiman leader had been honored as Sun Khan. Later, Sun Khan was killed by Temujin, while his son led the remnants of their tribe into the Western Regions.
In history, Sun Khan's son was Kutlug, wasn't he? A trace of confusion flashed through Song Qingshu's eyes. Could it be that, in this chaotic world, Galdan had become Sun Khan's son?
But it made sense upon reflection. Historically, the Dzungar tribe to which Galdan belonged had been one of the four great Oirat tribes. Only after the Yuan Dynasty was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty did the Mongols split into the western Oirats and eastern Tatars. The Mongol Empire was now at the height of its power, so naturally there were no Oirats yet.
It was therefore not unreasonable for Galdan to have become a member
