Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 711
They were chatting when suddenly they saw a messenger coming over and told them: "General Ma Shen has returned, the commander has an order, and the Chinese army will discuss matters!"

Gao Yigong and the others listened and looked at each other, but there was no ink stain, and they rushed to the camp of the Chinese army immediately.

By the time they arrived at the central army tent, the generals from all walks of life were almost there.Before they could discuss the news with each other, Li Dingguo and Ma Shouying were transferred from the back account, and the military discussion began.

I only heard Li Dingguo first say to them: "Ma Guerrilla went west and encountered the Huite tribe of Wacha. Ma Shen will tell you about the specific news about Wacha."

We are actually old acquaintances, but the difference in the order of recruitment and the difference in military achievements make their military positions different.

Ma Shouying was not polite, and immediately introduced the news that Qi had heard in detail.

Relatively speaking, Emperor Chongzhen actually gave some news, probably not much difference.

Western Mongolia, that is, Wacha, reached its peak in Yexian's era, and won the battle of Tumubao, which profoundly changed the political structure of Ming Dynasty.

Afterwards, Waci began to fight among himself, and his strength began to decline.When it came to eastern Mongolia, it was actually the rise of Altan Khan of the Tumed tribe. On the grasslands bordering Daming, it was basically Altan Khan who had the final say, and Wacha could only migrate to the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains.

After that, Watts did nothing.

At this time, Wacha was mainly divided into four major tribes, and then there were some small tribes as vassals, and the Huite tribe was one of the vassal tribes.

The four major tribes of Wacha are Zhungeer tribe, Heshuote tribe, Turhut tribe and Durbert tribe.These four tribes also fought among themselves for water and pastures.

In addition, Wacha also had another battle with the Khalkha tribe in northern Mongolia, also for pastures and water sources.

Under the combination of internal friction and external friction, the Wacha tribe could not grow at all.

The news of Jianlu's strength spread to Western Mongolia, especially the news of chasing Lin Dan Khan, which shocked Western Mongolia even more.They didn't want to be enemies with the powerful Jianlu, so they sent envoys to submit to Jianlu.

Moreover, the four big tribes of Wacha were not in harmony with each other, and they even broke up.

Among them, the Turghut tribe moved westward and went to the Volga River Basin to seek livelihood; the Heshuote tribe, under the leadership of their Gushri Khan, attacked Qinghai and Tibet and went to fight religious wars.

But at this time, Batur Huntaiji of the Zhungeer Department was considered a relatively powerful figure. After his hard work, he finally reconciled with the Khalkhas and signed a code of law, and the better they advance and retreat together.

They advance and retreat together, in fact, in response to the eastward invasion of the Tsarist Russian Empire.At this time, both Western Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia were in conflict with Tsarist Russia.

But who knew, what they never expected was that the Qing Empire sent envoys to act as peacemakers for them, and took the lead, saying that they would attack the Ming Kingdom together.

It is also said that the Qing Empire is still allied with the Japanese country, and there are internal support in the Ming country, and it is a certainty to take down the Ming country and carve up the Ming country.

With regard to this situation, the opinions within Wacha are not unanimous.Some people think that the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, and it is naturally the best to participate in and get a share of the pie.

However, some tribes have doubts about this.Although they don't know the specific situation, they just feel that things may not be as they said from the hard lobbying of the envoys of the Qing Empire.

If the Ming Kingdom is really vulnerable, then the Qing Empire was already so powerful before, and now there is an alliance with the Wa Kingdom, and there are internal support within the Ming Kingdom, why bother to send troops to the Tsarist Russian Empire, which is so far away?
In addition, there are some people who feel that they have enmity with the Russians, and they can't change their minds if they want to become friends with them.

In short, this matter is still being discussed within Wacha, including the Khalkha tribe, and many people are hesitating.

According to the Huite tribe's account, their small tribe has no right to make decisions, and they just want to live their lives.They are willing to submit to Daming and serve Daming, provided that they can move to Daming territory.

After Ma Shouying got the news, he was very shocked, and immediately rushed back with the head of the Huite tribe to report the situation.

After he finished introducing the situation, Li Dingguo said with a serious expression: "According to the information disclosed by the envoy of Jianlu, the spies in my Ming Dynasty are very powerful. Once they suddenly betray the court during the war, it is likely to bring great harm. Therefore, I decided to send someone to rush to return the letter. In addition, when the cold winter is coming, I will raid the Khalkha Mongolian tribe. If they do not surrender, they will not be able to survive this winter!"

He considered that if they attacked Wacha, once they fled westward, the war would be dragged on, and the final result might be to return without success.

However, for Mobei Mongolia, their winter places are very limited.Under the surprise attack of the Ming army, it is impossible for them to flee north. There is a great possibility that a surprise attack can severely damage Mobei Mongolia.

In the past, there may be problems with the raid.But now, with people from the Huit tribe leading the way, it is much easier.As for whether the people of the Huite tribe will lie or not, that doesn't matter, just let them see what kind of life they will live in the future after they surrender to Ming Dynasty.

For Li Dingguo's arrangement, Gao Yigong and others are very supportive.Anyway, for them, there is a battle to fight, and it is obvious that the chance of winning is relatively high, so of course they are happy.

Back then, Li Dingguo was also a thief, but now he is a knight.They are all jealous of Gao Yigong, of course they want to make more military achievements.

In fact, Mobei Mongolia is also divided into three major tribes. At the end of Ming Dynasty, their strength was no longer enough.Otherwise, they would not surrender to Jianlu.It would not be the case that Wacha's strength has been weakened, but he still agreed to turn the war into friendship with this world enemy, the two sides negotiated a peace, and jointly formulated the "Kalka Oirat Code".

When Li Dingguo led the western cavalry to turn north, he rode a fast horse and reported to the nearest governor of Yansui at an accelerated speed of [-] miles.

The governor of Yansui was shocked when he received the military report: it is a big deal for someone to be the internal response of Jianlu and Wa.So, he didn't dare to be negligent, and immediately wrote the secret performance, and sent it to the capital at the same speed of eight hundred miles.

Fortunately, most of the officials in Fengjiang have the authority to make a secret report, otherwise, if this matter is made public, it is estimated that a large number of people will be shocked.

After Emperor Chongzhen received this secret memorial, he couldn't help being a little speechless.

Thanks to Zheng Zhilong being a false internal response, otherwise, the envoy who was captured by Jianlu said so in Wacha, and the news came back, it would definitely be able to be investigated.

Of course, the envoys of Jianlu must have thought that this matter would only be spread among the higher-ups of Wacha, and it would not be possible to spread it to Ming Dynasty.He didn't expect that Daming would send troops westward and capture the chief of the Huite tribe.

Emperor Chongzhen appreciated Li Dingguo's military report that he received along with Mizuo. As expected of a famous general in the Southern Ming Dynasty, he was able to make a prompt decision and attack Mobei Mongolia first according to the news.

I just don't know, what will happen to his victory?Estimating the time, at this moment, it should be a war, right?Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself, it's a pity that there is no mobile phone for future generations to contact directly.Otherwise, you can call and ask directly.

..............................

Emperor Chongzhen guessed right. At this time, Li Dingguo led [-] cavalry troops, that is, the various units of the bandit cavalry army that had been recruited, totaling [-] from Gao Yigong's department, [-] from Li Guo's department, and [-] from Li Laiheng's department. One thousand troops under Tian Jianxiu, two thousand troops under Ma Shouying, three thousand troops under Ma Shouying, and four thousand cavalry troops directly under him arrived in the Mobei area.

The striker this time was under Tian Jianxiu's department, who sent Ye Bushou to catch the herdsmen from Mobei Mongolia they encountered and sent them to the Chinese army.

The weeds on the prairie have long since lost their green color and turned yellow, but there is a sea of ​​red again.

The more than 20 Mobei Mongolian herdsmen, large and small, who were escorted over, saw so many Ming cavalry soldiers near their homes, and all of them were scared and trembling, not knowing their future. what will happen.

The relationship between the Mongols and the Central Plains people has always been unharmonious.

When the power on the grassland is strong, they will try their best to attack the Central Plains; even if there is no big fight, there will be a routine fight against the autumn valley;
Similarly, if the Central Plains dynasty is strong, it will also send troops into the grasslands to fight.For example, at the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention, even during the time of Ming Chengzu, he personally conquered the grassland five times.

It can be said that the border conflict between the Mongolian grassland and the Central Plains dynasty has never been broken.

Today, seeing such a powerful cavalry army of the Ming Dynasty, with bright armor and strict military discipline, needless to say, it is a strong army, which means that people on the Mongolian grasslands will be unlucky.

They just didn't expect that they were in Mobei, and all the Ming cavalry came here!

After Li Dingguo heard the news, he didn't let his soldiers take these Mongolian herders in.Instead, he personally left the tent of the Chinese army and came to these herdsmen.

He glanced at the herdsmen in front of him, men and women, old and young; he found that they were dressed very rustically, and the clothes on their bodies were covered with patches.

Li Dingguo could see that if these herdsmen didn't have other warm clothes, they would probably be very sad in the coming winter.This point is similar to the situation of the people in the pass in the past.

Also, seeing that most of them are sallow and emaciated, they probably don't have enough to eat and are often hungry.

Li Dingguo actually understood this situation.Among the Mongols, that is, those leaders and their cronies, life will be better.For the herdsmen at the bottom, they are all oppressed by the headman and his cronies, and life is not going well.

Not to mention, Mobei Mongolia is located in remoteness and bitter cold, and their living conditions are even more difficult.

But no matter how hard it is, it is impossible to suffer those leaders!
