Chongzhen Chat Group

"What?" Chechen Khan Shuolei immediately stood up and asked after hearing this.

"What? The Ming army won't collect at night?" Tuxie Tuhan Gunbu was startled. He didn't even know he touched the wine glass. He just stared at the visitor and asked.

And Zasak Tukhan Norbu stood up involuntarily, leaned forward, and shouted loudly: "The Ming army will not be gathered at night? How many of them can we detect the Ming army?"

The three of them had just come to the conclusion that Gushi Khan had not sent back reinforcements, let alone the Ming Dynasty. Even if they wanted to send troops, it would probably be just a show. But as soon as these words were spoken, someone came to report that they had discovered that Ming Guo was refusing to accept food at night. It would be strange if they were not shocked by this news!

This is the far west, far away from the Ming Dynasty, and is where the Heshuote tribe in Oirat is located. If the Ming Dynasty refused to collect at night here, wouldn't it mean that the Ming army responded very quickly, and at least some troops had arrived nearby?

In fact, not only these three Khan kings, but also their men were shocked when they first encountered the Ming army that refused to stop at night. In fact, as they went up and down, no one expected that the Ming army would appear here and refuse to stop at night.

After understanding the situation, the three Khan kings, no matter who they were, were in no mood to drink and have fun anymore.

"Get out, get out of here!" Shuolei shouted sharply at the dancers hiding aside. No matter how he looked, he saw that these dancers seemed to have surprised expressions, which annoyed him.

Norbu looked gloomily as he watched everyone in the big tent being driven away. Then he turned to ask the other two people, "What should we do? The Ming army appeared so quickly, which is really unexpected!"

The other two people didn't speak immediately, they both lowered their heads and thought. After a while, Gunbu suddenly grabbed a wine glass and threw it to the ground. Even though the floor was covered with carpet, he smashed it into pieces. After he finished throwing it, he looked at the other two people and said viciously. Said: "Why are you afraid of him? When the soldiers come, they will block the water and cover up the earth. Are we in Khalkha afraid that he will not succeed in the Ming Dynasty?"

"Yes, why are you afraid of them?" Shuolei heard this and shouted sternly, "If there are few people coming, we will eat them; if there are many people coming, we will lead them around the grassland. Huh, on this grassland, but we In the Mongolian world, people from the Ming Dynasty dare to come, let them die without a place to die!"

Norbu nodded after hearing this. Just when he was about to agree, something suddenly came to his mind and he had another idea. But now that the situation was unclear, he didn't say much. That is to say, each of them sent people out in all directions to find out the situation of the Ming Dynasty's reinforcements.

On the Oirat grassland, the relaxed atmosphere suddenly disappeared due to the unilateral massacre. The people of the Khalkha tribe became nervous. The horns sounded "woo woo woo" from time to time, and they went out in groups to search for the Oirat tribes. The knights all returned to the team one after another. From time to time, you can still see the messengers carrying the command flags flying out of the three king's tents, flying away, and disappearing on the grassland.

On the grassland, groups of Khalkha cavalry were seen from time to time chasing groups of Oirat tribesmen who were fleeing for their lives. But suddenly, a new order came, and these Khalkha cavalry retreated one after another, allowing the Oirat tribesmen who fled for their lives to escape death. They didn't know what was going on, but it didn't hinder them. When they saw the Ming army in red shirts appearing in the distance, they knew what was going on.

Soon, on this western grassland, news of the arrival of reinforcements from the Ming Dynasty slowly spread throughout the country.

The three tribes of the Khalkha Mongolia became more dignified and returned to their troops one after another to prepare for war; while the tribes of the Oirat Mongolia, upon hearing the news of the arrival of the Ming army, wept with joy one by one and moved closer to the east, just like the water flowing down from the Tianshan Mountains. The trickle finally converged towards the Ming army.

The first Ming army to appear was the Baotou Army led by Governor Yang Sichang and led by Zhongyong Bo Mangui as its general. It had more than 10,000 horsemen, more or less, heading straight from Baotou to the Tianshan Mountains.

Since the expedition, Yang Sichang and Man Gui were very excited and cherished this opportunity. They led the army in a hurry. Along the way, they saved many fleeing Oirat Mongolians. Of course, these Mongolians still need to be screened.

This work will be done by Mangui. The Oirat people who have proved themselves will vouch for the new Oirat people, and those who do not know them will also get in touch with Oqirtu Khan through the military factory guards. Verify through description. If there is really no way to prove it, the Oirat people who can prove it will take care of it.

Slowly, Yang Sichang also learned that the enemy in front of him was the three large tribes including the Khalkha Mongols, each with more than 10,000 cavalry, while the Tsarist Russian army only had about 6,000 cavalry.

The disparity between the enemy and ourselves was a bit large, but neither Yang Sichang nor Man Gui flinched. They still led the army to approach, and still penetrated Tianshan Mountain. Their posture seemed to be to kill people when people block them, and to kill Buddha when they block Buddhas. After several days of contact, no large-scale fighting broke out.

In this regard, Yang Sichang smiled confidently and said to Man Gui: "The three tribes are not subordinate to each other, they are just a loose sand. I am sure that none of them will dare to come up and fight our army first! How about it?"

"Congratulations, Lord Zhongcheng!" Man Gui, a bearded man, grinned and was in a good mood, "General, I hope they won't be cowardly. At least come and fight for a while, let us take the lead!"

Hearing this, Yang Sichang couldn't help but nodded and said: "Governor Hong has already led his troops to the north, and the Liaodong Army set off earlier. They are currently supporting each other and are about to reach Mobei. Once there is a war there, the news will come here. , these three tribes will definitely return for reinforcements, and when the time comes, we will have no battle to fight. I should consider this matter myself!"

This time, Emperor Chongzhen spent a lot of money, or because a large number of people joined the chat group, he also absorbed many people in the chat group and became factory guards. For this battle, he sent almost all the people in the north to various armies. Therefore, Yang Sichang was able to keep track of the movements of the Naturalized Army and the Liaodong Army at any time.

After Yang Sichang thought for a while, he came up with an idea and said to Man Gui: "Let's rescue Erqiltu Khan first and get his signature out. At that time, it was a good bait. I believe these three A tribe must come and fight!"

"Hahaha, thank you, Sir Zhongcheng!" Man Gui had a battle to fight, so he spoke more smoothly. He flattered Yang Sichang and hurriedly arranged for the army to march.

Yang Sichang's guess was indeed correct. When the three Khans of Khalkha Mongolia heard about the size of the Ming army, they also knew that this army was a governor of the Ming Dynasty, and that Mangui, who was famous on the grasslands, was the general. At that time, they did not act without authorization and gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

"Is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty crazy? He actually sent more than 10,000 people to ride here, and Mangui is still the general!" Tuxietu Khan Gunbu said angrily, "Then Eqirtu is his biological son or something, and he actually More eager than Gushi Khan!"

After hearing this, Zasak Tukhan Norbu frowned and said, "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty must have some agenda for such a big move. We must be careful!"

Having said this, he looked at the two people in front of him with a little worry and asked: "Do you think we in Mobei will be attacked by the Ming army?"

When Gun Bu heard this, he replied without hesitation: "How is it possible? The Ming Kingdom has already sent more than 10,000 people to ride here. How many people and horses do you want to send to Mobei? Anything less will be useless. If there are more, the Ming Kingdom will have Are there so many cavalry? If it’s infantry, I’d rather have them go to Mobei!”

After hearing this, Norbu quickly reminded: "Don't forget, the Ming army annexed the Chahar tribe. It is said that many tribes in eastern Mongolia have defected to the Ming Dynasty."

Obviously, they did not have Emperor Chongzhen's chat group, and due to the inconvenience of communication on the grassland, their news lagged behind a lot.

"But don't forget, there are still Jianzhou Jurchens in Liaodong! Does the Ming Dynasty ignore Liaodong and just organize all the troops to go north?" Gunbu said with emotion, "If this is really the case, then the Ming Dynasty emperor has some brains. Damn it, will his ministers agree?"

At this point, he stopped and looked at Nuoer and preached: "Don't give me the assumption that the Ming Dynasty has eliminated the Jurchens in Jianzhou. If this is really the case, then I have nothing to say!"

Hearing this, in this tense and serious atmosphere, the three Khans all laughed in unison. The Jianzhou Jurchens are so powerful, how can they be eliminated so easily! If the Ming Kingdom was really so powerful, the three tribes of our own would not be able to fight the Ming army, so we should just think about surrendering earlier.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about something practical!" Chechen Khan Shuolei, who had been silent, clapped his hands, and then said to the two Khan kings who looked over, "The Ming army has more than 10,000 riders, look at their It seems that it has been heading west. How should we deal with this army?"

Hearing this, it seemed that they were talking about a taboo topic, but no one answered. They all lowered their heads and either studied the color of the kumiss on the desk, or began to concentrate on admiring their own jade rings.

Seeing this situation, Shuolei couldn't help but smile bitterly. He also knew the thoughts of the other two Khans very well.

The Ming army came with more than 10,000 horsemen, and among the three parties, there were almost more than 10,000 horsemen each. It would be uncertain for any party to attack the Ming army alone. When the three parties join forces, a question arises: who will attack and who will support? The key is that even if this one is separated, who can guarantee whether the other two companies will not work hard?

Even though the three families are now as close as one family, Shuolei is 100% sure that when the three families return, they will still fight each other over the pasture or something. If one party fights to the death with the Ming army here, even if it is not to this extent, as long as the losses are heavy, it will be very uncomfortable in the following days.

No one is a fool, no one wants to let his men be wasted, and no one believes that anyone will really have to fight against the Ming army!

What's more, in this war, the three tribes have robbed a lot of things from the Oirat tribes, including people and livestock, etc. At this time, the people under them are thinking of going back early so that they can carve it up early. Seized.

However, Oziertu has not yet been captured, and quite a few of the Oirat tribes have fled. The three of them didn't want to just leave like this, and then Eqirtu picked up the remnants and rose again with the support of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, they were sure that Eqirtu would definitely hold on to their three tribes. Thinking back to last year, the troops and horses led by Oqirtu were so powerful that they even suffered losses.

What's more, there is Gushi Khan. Although he says he won't come back for help now, it doesn't mean he won't come back in the future. What if Gushi Khan comes back?

No matter what, the three tribes knew clearly that they must take advantage of this moment to kill Eqirtu and wipe out all the Oirat Mongolian tribes. Only in this way can they feel at ease in the future. At that time, even if Gushi Khan came back, without the foundation here, I believe that Gushi Khan would be powerless against the three tribes.

He was silent for a long time, or he knew that such silence and avoidance were not the answer after all. Norbu suddenly thought of his previous idea, and felt happy. He raised his head and said to the other two people: "You two, I have an idea. When the Ming army comes over, we are not the only ones who will be harmed..."

When they heard this, the other two people's eyes lit up in unison, yes, how could they have been forgotten.

"...The Tsarist Russian army is still frantically looting the property of the Oirat tribe scattered all over the place, and is still frantically massacring the people of the Oirat tribe they can find. The Ming army has suddenly arrived. It must affect them, right?" Norbu said more and more. I have confidence, "These crazy dogs in the west just don't understand the Ming army. The three of us will go and talk together. If necessary, we can pay some price, give them more cattle and sheep, and let them fight the Ming army first. It's best They can defeat both sides. Even if they don't, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the Ming army will definitely lose its military strength. Then we can just reap the benefits, how about..."

With a long sound, he looked at the other two people. Suddenly, the three of them laughed in unison, laughing very happily.

After a while, Gunbu raised his thumb with a jade ring to Norbu and praised repeatedly: "Okay, this is a good idea. Those barbarians, but mad dogs came and cut off their wealth. Don't be too crazy." . We just need to encourage them a little more and give them some benefits, and we are afraid that they will not attack the Ming army and bite them for a while!"

Chechen Khan Shuolei also smiled and nodded, but he finally reminded: "But don't be careless and send people who can't speak to talk about this. I know these Tsarist Russians better than you. Although they are crazy, they are also Someone with brains!"

"Haha, that's right!" Gunbu agreed nonchalantly, "The mad dog without a brain has been killed long ago, and he won't be alive until now!"

Although he said this, he added in his heart: Although he has a brain, it is limited!

None of the three people wanted to lose their own troops, so they naturally hit it off with this method. Then the three of them began to sum up, and finally decided to send the most eloquent person from each of the three tribes to contact the Tsarist Russian army plundering in the west.

Soon after, all three tribes received responses from the Tsarist Russian army. As they said before, when the Tsarist Russian troops heard that the distant Ming Dynasty had sent troops to rescue the Wei Lat tribe, they immediately became furious. They shouted angrily that the Ming army must never come back.

The three Khan kings met again, and the atmosphere in the big tent was much more relaxed than the last time.

Gunbu said with a smile: "Look, what I said is right. These Tsarist Russians only have money in their eyes. When they heard that the Ming army was preventing them from getting rich, they didn't even ask how many people from the Ming army came. They all shouted We are going to kill the Army of Light!"

"Haha, you forgot!" Norbu responded to Gun's sermon with a smile, "There was a conflict between Tsarist Russia and the Ming army in the far north! The Ming army robbed a lot of territory and property of the Tsarist Russians."

"Yes, that place is too far from the mainland of Tsarist Russia. They were bullied by the Ming army, but they were powerless." Shuolei also smiled and further explained, "They want to send more troops to the east, but the cost is also high. What's more, Oziltu is causing trouble in the west again, intercepting the property they looted in the northeast. Therefore, the Tsarist Russians will first propose to eliminate the Oirat tribe. If my guess is correct, the Tsarist Russians will send troops to the east next. .Maybe they will unite with us again and go together to eliminate the Ming army in the east!"

Hearing this, the other two nodded. However, Norbu was also a little puzzled. He asked the other two people: "You guys said that even we look down upon the far north. Why did the Ming Kingdom send people there when it occupied the rich Central Plains? Fighting with Tsarist Russia? Do you just want to disgust the Tsarist Russians?"

After hearing this, the other two people did not understand why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty did this. Could it be that he was bored?

After making a digression, they quickly returned to the topic. I heard Shuolei say: "Tsarist Russia has now gathered its troops and looted supplies, and will soon lead its troops to join them. But they have said first that the property promised to them must be given first. Otherwise, once a fight breaks out, they will not I wonder if these belongings can be sent back sadly."

"Just give it, we won't default on the debt!" Hearing this, Norbu said generously, "I have prepared what I should give, and I can send it to them later."

"Mine is ready. Give it to them earlier so that they can feel at ease earlier and come here to join forces and deal with these Ming troops!" Gunbu also nodded and said, "We should also send the captured things to our own side. It’s Mobei.”

There is about to be a battle with the Ming army here. With so many seizures, it is naturally not suitable to follow the army. Like the Tsarist Russian army, they had to send the captured things back to the rear first.

After this was decided, the three tribes each got busy. The army gathered and sent out exploration horses. As for the spoils of war, those who should be given to Tsarist Russia should be given to them, and those who should be transported back to Mobei should be transported back to Mobei.

But until the Ming army arrived at the foot of Tianshan Mountain, the armies of the three tribes had been waiting for a long time, but no Tsarist Russian army came to join them. The Khans of these three tribes were a little anxious. The Tsarist Russian army grabbed things so quickly. There was going to be a war. Why was it so delayed? The war couldn't be dragged on forever!

While they were in a hurry, the person who had been in contact with the Tsarist Russian army came back quickly, with an angry look that made the three Khans feel their hearts sinking.
