stubborn thief

Chapter 395 Rude words of a shameless old thief

On the high ground of Muge Beach, Batuer Huntaiji looked around, wishing Guoshi Khan good health.

He wanted to curse so much, and he agreed to let him be the rear guard to stop Lin Dan Huduntu's pursuers, but it was fine if thousands of Han cavalry came out, but Guoshi Khan was gone.

There were more and more reinforcements from the Han army, but the Heshuo special reinforcements who should have received the news did not come back, causing him to face twice as many enemy troops as himself.

In fact, for Batur Huntaiji, an enemy force twice as large as his own is not a big problem, if he can't beat him, he can run away.

The real problem was that he couldn't get in touch with Guoshi Khan, and the west city of Yangqu was occupied, which made it difficult for him to estimate the situation in the west, and he dared not retreat westward.

As for defending in Mugetan, firearms became the biggest advantage. At first, Batuer Huntaiji was very confident about this. The biggest advantage of Junggar in the Oirat tribes was firearms.

But this pride, in the battle with Wang Wenxiu, was heavily smashed to the ground and shattered.

They put on their proud musketeers, but they could only compete evenly with the heavy musketry team. When the gunnery team joined the battle, they were shot to pieces.

And the few cannons that were snatched were really not easy to use, especially the few cannons that were bought at a high price, but they were completely suppressed in the battle, and they were not cost-effective at all.

Batur Huntaiji participated in this battle and brought in nine artillery pieces of different specifications in order to test which artillery shape is the most useful on the battlefield. In the future, he will go back to beat Yarkand and get craftsmen to make his own artillery .

Before that, his favorite was the camel cannon.

A small cannon less than three feet long and weighing a hundred kilograms, including the gunner's ammunition, can be pulled by a camel and run all over the place without much recoil.

But now it seems that what he wants to build most is the bronze Hongwu Lord in the hands of Qianhu Baohu in Guide.

Although Bao Hu's Hongwu Lord is an old cannon cast in the [-]th century, it has a short barrel, so the range is relatively short. The powder chamber of the cannon body is spherical, its structure is not scientific enough, and its power is relatively small.

But that's only relative, with a diameter of seven inches and a weight of more than 200 kilograms, no matter how small it is, it's not that small.

At the same time, it is made of copper, and the short barrel has low requirements on industrial capacity, which meets the metallurgical level after further development of the Junggar Ministry.

Batur Huntaiji didn't know so much. In fact, all this knowledge came from his new guard—Dai Daozi.

As the battle between Junggar and Wang Wenxiu unfolded, Dai Daozi's status in this army rose sharply, and Batuer Huntaiji discovered that this Han Chinese in the Tumed Department knew too much.

Although some sarcastic remarks sounded unpleasant, Batur wanted to send Dai Daozi to the west to meet the Buddha, but the progress of the battle was hard to describe.

Seeing that Junggar was going to shoot at Wang Wenxiu with muskets, Dai Daozi crossed his arms and said, "Don't shoot Hun Taiji, the muskets they hold are called heavy guns, and they have the same range as your muskets, but the barrel is thicker. Shoot at him. Suffer."

Then it's a loss.

Dai Daozi saw that the gun was raised to join the battle again, so he dragged Hui Taiji to hide behind: "That thing is called a gun, it can penetrate half of the team, and hide behind."

Then half the team was shot through.

In fact, he didn't really want to drag Hui Taiji, but he couldn't go back without pulling him, so he was very reluctant.

It made Batuer Huntaiji look at Dai Daozi with a strange expression, this guy looks like a fucking big prophet.

The fierce exchange of fire lasted for half a day, and Wang Wenxiu chose to continue the siege instead of carrying out large-scale shooting. The pressure on Batur Huntaiji was also much less, but he fell into deeper despair.

Because the camel city has really become a camel city, and almost all the camels lying on the periphery with bound legs and feet were killed, and could no longer stand up. Wang Wenxiu's musket shooting became difficult to be effective, and the Junggar tribe did not rush out of the camel city. plan, leading to a stalemate in the war.

Batur Huntaiji did not ask the princes and nobles of Junggar, but had great expectations for the guards around him, and asked them: "What should I do?"

That's what he thought, he himself is the most outstanding noble in Oirat, why ask those nobles?It would be better to ask these guards from various ethnic groups, all of them are well-informed.

Unfortunately, no one knows.

His gaze finally turned to Dai Daozi who was absent-minded, and Dai Daozi said lightly: "Surrender."

Batur Huntaiji discovered that some people in this world are always jumping back and forth between life and death, and their desire to go to the west cannot be stopped.

However, Dai Daozi's next words changed his mind: "Why did Hui Taiji only focus on this war? What does the victory or defeat of this war have to do with Junggar? This victory may be of little benefit to Junggar. Even if the battle is lost, there will be no harm in Tianshan."

"But if Hun Taiji and the princes die in Qinghai, I'm afraid Wala will be in chaos."

Batur Huntaiji looked at Dai Daozi, and said to himself, don't look at you as a damn ugly, but think you are beautiful.

When the Mongols all over the world built cities and settled down under the severe cold and the pressure of foreign enemies, half-pasturing and half-cultivating strengthened their strength, Oala was the last big alliance that stuck to the nomadic tradition.

In the vast north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, they don't even have a small city that is only fifty steps wide.

Batur Huntaiji has always wanted to build a city, but Oirat's organizational form prevented him from building a city... His fortification would further stimulate the Heshuo Special Department and destroy the existing balance of Oirat.

The same is true for Heshuote's fortification.

Everyone understands that it is one thing to fight for power internally, but it is another thing not to allow external enemies to take advantage of internal fighting.

But without a city, it means that their alliance is still very loosely organized, relying only on the general knowledge of the leaders of the ministries, until the alliance can survive.

Therefore, although there is no shortage of internal strife in the alliance, it is much lower than that of the surrounding Khalkha, Kazakhs, and Yarkand.

Since they are fighting in the alliance, Junggar cannot take the lead in surrendering or fleeing before the battle is over.

Otherwise, even if Liu Chengzong is a living Bodhisattva and can send his entire army back to Tianshan Mountain, the Oirat tribes will not be in chaos, but the Junggar tribe will definitely be engulfed by the anger of the nobles who lost their father, son and husband.

On the other hand, if Liu Chengzong is a living king of Hades and he is killed directly, then the Junggar tribe will disappear soon?

Surrender, in his view, is the worst of the worst.

Just at this moment, there were people riding horses and galloping around the Han army's position besieging them, shouting incomprehensible news, and Batur Huntaiji immediately became nervous.

But the imaginary large-scale onslaught did not appear. Instead, tens of thousands of Han troops cheered, and then yelled at their army formation like a mountain roar and a tsunami.

Hun Taiji looked at Dai Daozi in puzzlement, and saw this tall Han man with Oirat's hair style showing a meaningful smile.

Dai Daozi shook his head and snorted softly: "They said that the Heshuo Special Army was defeated on the west bank of the Yellow River. 2 people were defeated by the [-] troops led by the Generalissimo. The national division was seriously injured and has been sent to Xining for treatment."

"By the way, there is a man named Chou'erji in Taijiri that has been surrendered. Are all of you Wala people with such vicious names?"

Dai Daozi listened and continued to say: "What kind of title is Du Erbo? Outsiders say that Du Erbo has come down as well."

Batuer Huntaiji looked suspicious in the shock: The Han people persuaded them to surrender as if they were telling the truth.

Not long after, a letter of persuasion written in Mongolian was projected over. Batur Huntaiji, who was full of worries, lost the city, walked quickly to the front of the battle, and snatched the letter from the frontline Zaisang.

This is a battle report with a list of all those who surrendered, died in battle, and missing nobles. The battle process is written in great detail, and Batur is terrified when he sees it.

six hours.

From the morning to the six o'clock in the evening, Guoshi Khan seized all the opportunities and all the fine horsemen, but was defeated by the Marshal's Mansion Han Army with only [-]% of its strength.

At the end of the letter, there were two lines of flamboyant Chinese characters, which Batur Huntaiji couldn't understand, so he handed the letter to Dai Daozi: "What is it written in?"

Dai Daozi was delighted when he saw it: "Today, I personally lead the army, and it will arrive in a few days. The heavy artillery will be transported, and the jade and stone will be hard to separate. I sincerely hope that you will save the lives of the soldiers and surrender in person, so that you can protect the position of marquis." ...Liu Chengzong, this is a letter written by the generalissimo."

Batur Huntaiji had no intention of sending Dai Daozi to the west this time, he just turned around silently, looked around at the corpse of the camel city on the high ground, and remained silent for a long time.

In fact, it's not that he can't accept failure, it's just that he is really unwilling to surrender like this.

They were obviously able to chase Lin Dan, Huduntu and run all over the place, but why were they beaten and rolled all over the ground when they suddenly joined the battle with the Marshal's Mansion?
Suddenly, Batur Hun Taiji turned his head and asked Dai Daozi, "Do you think this letter is real or not?"

Dai Daozi was having fun, when he heard the question, he nodded naturally, "Really."

Because he knows Liu Chengzong well, the handsome man is full of tricks... he is resourceful, even if the winner is not yet determined in the west, it is not impossible for someone to deceive Junggar with fake battle reports.

But if it is a lie, Dai Daozi thinks that Liu Chengzong will never sign the letter, and the signature is also someone else's name.

This letter is signed, and it is indeed Liu Chengzong's handwriting, so it must be true.

Since it is true, it means that Batur Huntaiji saved his life. If he was in the Heshuo special formation, he might have been shot to death.

But right after, Dai Daozi came to his senses, as if his answer was too natural.

Unexpectedly, Batur Huntaiji didn't go into it at all, nodded, and then asked: "What do you mean by the position of Marquis? What kind of ceremony is it to surrender with courtesy?"

Hi.

Dai Daozi said in his heart that this shameless old thief's vulgar words, probably only Wang Situ knew what the ceremony was, how could he know.

"The position of Marquis is mostly obedient, that is, after Taiji surrendered, he still has the status of aristocrat. The etiquette of surrender." This question is quite difficult, and Dai Daozi scratched his head: "Kowtow if you should, and profess your minister if you should?"

Batur Huitaiji said again: "Noble status, I heard that your marshal's mansion often arrests people to mine mountains, does that mean I don't have to go?"

Dai Daozi nodded in response, and then looked at Hun Taiji dumbfounded.

But I saw Hui Taiji snorted, looking like he knew it long ago: "Across the battle formation, the national teacher can't even call out the name of my firearm. You know so much about the military equipment of the Marshal's Mansion, you must be a close friend of Marshal Liu... May I have your name?"

Dai Daozi didn't want to pretend anymore, since his own side had already gained the upper hand, and he couldn't run away, so it would be better to persuade Batur to surrender. He nodded and said, "My name is Dai Daozi, the Marshal's Mansion Tang Qiqian. , I wanted to infiltrate Heshuote and assassinate the national teacher, but was saved by Hun Taiji."

Batur nodded. He was at a dead end. The Han army was not in a hurry to attack. It was useless for him to be in a hurry. He simply waved his hand and called Dai Daozi into the big tent. He poured the kumiss and asked, "I have been I don’t understand, what did Chahar do to persuade the marshal to join the war, and they have already surrendered to the marshal?”

"I do not know."

Dai Daozi shook his head honestly and said: "Marshal never liked Huduntu, but Huduntu is the enemy of the Kingdom of Jin, and you are all vassals of the Kingdom of Jin."

Bateerhuntaiji's expression was very complicated at this moment, and he was even more surprised than hearing that the national division Khan was defeated: "It's because of this, because Oirat, who is thousands of miles away in the west, wrote a tribute letter to the Kingdom of Jin, thousands of miles away in the east. Book, your marshal will send troops to help Chahar?"

"I see that there are quite a few of you Mongols, and Chahar Khan is your enemy!"

Dai Daozi sneered: "What is there to be afraid of a lost dog? You who pay tribute to the Kingdom of Jin are our enemies."

Batur Huntaiji had an inquisitive look on his face: "Aren't you afraid that if you raise your arms and call out profusely, the Mongolians will respond?"

"Are you able to respond?" Dai Daozi expressed doubts about this, clapping his hands and saying, "Big Khan raised his arms and fled to Qinghai from Zhangjiakou."

He smiled and said: "What kind of world is this? The Han people rebelled against the emperor, and you Mongols also besieged Beiyuan Khan... Hun Taiji should not think about us, it is better to think about Junggar, actually."

"Ugh."

Batur sighed for a long time, feeling somewhat self-pitying, and said, "I thought I recruited the Tumote Han soldiers, but I wanted you and me to go back and create characters, but who knew he was a general in the handsome mansion."

Then he was relieved, looked at Dai Daozi and said, "It's just right, paying tribute, killing horses and pledging oaths, kowtowing and saluting will allow me to bring the army and all the surrendered nobles back to Tianshan, and I will do so. Pay tribute every year and never commit another crime.”

Dai Daozi heard the meaning behind his words, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid the title of Marquis in the handsome man's letter is not the case."

"So what, even if you put us all under house arrest in Qinghai or kill us all, you will not be able to control the north and south of Tianshan Mountain. Today we marched five thousand miles to fight, although we were defeated; in the future you will march five thousand miles across the desert. It's a loss."

Dai Daozi was at a loss for words for a moment, he had a general idea in his mind, but he didn't know how to tell Hun Taiji when the words came to his lips.

In the end, he had no choice but to ask: "Hun Taiji is ready to surrender?"

After receiving a positive answer, he breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and saluted with fists in his hands: "I don't know what to say, but I will tell the commander-in-chief what Hun Taiji said, since he is going to surrender, Huntaiji will always see the commander, maybe Then you'll think differently."

"Dashuai is a very special person."

　good afternoon!
