Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 510 Target: Guihua City
"It's so hot."

Shanxi, Datong, Zongbing Yamen.

The cicadas in the courtyard keep chirping, which is disturbing and disturbing, but it announces the arrival of summer.

Liu Tingjie was shirtless, and led a line of soldiers, swaggering back, exasperated: "It's still very cold in the morning, and it's going to be like death in the daytime. Who can stand it?"

"Dong Weng, after all, Datong is a bit different from Shaanxi. It's cold and sunny in the morning, so you get used to it."

On the side, the master, who spent 500 yuan annuity to invite, was a thin man with a goatee, shaking a lupine, holding a parasol, followed closely, and enlightened with a smile.

As the Duke of Cheng, Liu Tingjie has an annual salary of [-] shi, plus meritorious service, the emperor's rewards, etc., and his net worth is already over [-]. This little money is just tickling.

Liu Tingjie grinned and said, "You are happy. The barracks is like a steam oven. If I hadn't made some rice wine and stayed with me for a long time, there would have been trouble."

Thinking of this, Liu Tingjie was quite annoyed: "This military household in Datong doesn't have much ability, but he has a big temper. Isn't he just fucking every two days? He dared to make a noise. Next time, I will directly cut him."

After You Shiwei took over the control of Gansu and Shaanxi, as his deputy, Liu Tingjie followed closely, but only won the title of Datong General Soldier.

They are all dukes, why is he the ruler and Lao Tzu is the chief soldier?

Although he has the title of Shanxi Deputy Commander-in-Chief on his head, it can't compare to the joy of being in charge.

Therefore, as soon as he came to Datong, Liu Tingjie worked hard to train those Datong military households, not hoping to reach the level of the Beijing camp, but if there were [-] to [-] percent, he would secretly laugh.

"Dong Weng, there is news from the grassland."

Liu Tingjie came to the well, poured a bucket of water to cool his heart, and then picked up the cold watermelon, put it in his mouth, and gnawed it like a pig.

This time, the staff members retired the servants, sat aside, picked up the watermelon and started eating.

"Prairie?" Liu Tingjie paused, immediately put down the watermelon in his hand, raised his head, his eyes stared like bells: "How is the situation?"

This fierce appearance made the staff stunned, and it took a while to come back to their senses, and stammered slightly: "The people from the caravan came back and drew a map."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of words from his pocket, as well as a slightly rough map with markers, rivers, etc. on it.

Thanks to the regularization of the military academy, there are a lot more technical units such as drawing, which can be used.

However, it is recorded in the text: "There are more than a dozen of them along the way, the most are two to three thousand tents, and the few are more than a hundred tents. As long as there is a guide to guide the way, [-] cavalry are enough to sweep half of Monan."

"Five thousand cavalry?"

Liu Tingjie narrowed his eyes and thought about it.

When Datong soldiers and horses went to Shaanxi in Jiangguan, they were ordered to take [-] cavalry with them. Among the [-] people left behind, there were [-] cavalry, and there were many capable horseless infantry.

Although discipline is not good, he is a good one-on-one player. He can't beat the Eight Banners soldiers who built slaves, but he is very good at fighting Mongolian soldiers.

"How is the food preparation?"

"Letters from Taiyuan have not been received, and there are only five thousand stones in the treasury."

The staff couldn't help but raise their eyebrows and said: "But Dong Weng, without the imperial court's order, not only we can't mobilize a single soldier, but Taiyuan can't supply food and grass."

"I understand!" Liu Tingjie rolled his eyes and said, "No matter how great your contribution is, you can't stand against disobeying military orders."

"As early as last month, I sent a letter like a saint, saying the importance of Monan Chahar Mongolia, and asking for orders to sweep Monan. The decree will arrive in a few days."

Speaking of this, Liu Tingjie cheered up and said: "In addition, I also applied to the court for a thousand short guns, two thousand flintlock guns, and ten Franco cannons weighing three hundred catties."

"With these, 3000 people are enough."

"Three thousand?" The staff was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded him: "The Tartars are vicious and treacherous, don't you want to be reckless, Dong Weng?"

"Huh, it's because there are firearms to fight the Tartars. Give them some fresh ones. 3000 people are enough."

Successively won the three major battles of Luoyang, Huai'an, and Beijing, and the Beijing camp became famous all over the world.

Liu Tingjie believes that apart from the well-organized and extremely strict military discipline of the Beijing camp, the greatest contribution lies in the firearms.

Raising the gun, then firing the gun, the artillery, all of which made Man Qing frightened, no matter how strong the armor was, it could not withstand the blow of raising the gun.

Of course, the high-quality armor also provided a lot of help.

"Although I don't understand Tartars, since Dong Weng has confidence, then it's fine."

Liu Tingjie smiled slightly when he heard this.

In fact, he also concealed part of it.

In the private letter, he did not hold back his criticism of You Shiwei, and even vaguely revealed his offensive against Hetao and Monan.

To put it bluntly, he also wanted a position of domination.

The purpose of attacking You Shiwei is to convince the emperor that the generals in Yulin Town are not one, so as to eliminate the emperor's fear.

The waiting time was torturous. By the end of May, the emperor's decree and the imperial court's decree also arrived.

The firecrackers and cannons are already on the way, and for Liu Tingjie's appointment, in addition to the Datong General Soldier, he also added the title of Left Commander of the Rear Army Commander's Mansion.

This made him overjoyed, because as long as he is in control, the side that goes out of the town will inevitably be given the title of governor. This is to promote his official rank.

In other words, the only difference between him and You Shiwei is the difference in dispatch, and the official ranks are the same.

In addition, in the emperor's secret decree, he was also required to conquer Hetao and Monan, surrender the Mongols there, and cut off Jiannu's arm.

After receiving the accurate holy will, Liu Tingjie was overjoyed. While preparing gunpowder and other items calmly, he deployed soldiers who were good at gunfire to prepare for the upcoming grassland battle.

And the place where he tried his best was in the Mongolian tribes in Monan near Datong, that is, the Xitumote tribe near Guihua City.

In the second year of Shaowu, on the tenth day of June, Liu Tingjie personally led [-] troops, each with three horses, carrying a large amount of gunpowder, and marched towards Guihua City under the guidance of a guide and a map.

Guihua City, later Hohhot of Inner Mongolia,
It is a grassland city built by Altan Khan who was active in Jiajing and the early years of Wanli. It is located in the shade of Daqing Mountain and on the bank of the Yellow River.

After the completion of the city, the Ming court named it "Guihua City".

Below it is the land of Chilechuan. The land is fertile. It is not only a good place for arable land and sheep herding, but also the center of Mmonan Mongolia.

Later, Lin Dan Khan moved westward, expelled Bu Shitu, the king of Shunyi (the grandson of Tumet Altan Khan), and took possession of Guihua City.

As a result, its methods were tyrannical, and the Mongolian tribes were alienated, and the hearts of the people were greatly lost. After Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, because Lin Danhan was too far away from the Houjin, he had no use for fakes, and the city tribute was cut off.

As a result, Lin Danhan was in a state of desperation, attacked Datong angrily, and harassed the border, so that he committed crimes against Houjin and Daming, and because of his tyrannical unity, he was constantly troubled internally. Under internal and external troubles, he was chased by Houjin and was forced to flee to Gansu to die.

(Lin Danhan, like Chongzhen, has extremely low political EQ, true two...)
Even though it was burned down by Houjin, Chilechuan is still there.

The Tumed Department and Lin Dan Khan Department were recuperated here, and were compiled by the Qing Dynasty into two banners of the left and right wings, with a scale of tens of thousands of tents.

Because there is no Zasak (king, consul) commander, it is a mess.

"Tumed's tribe and Chahar's tribe already had enmity, and now there is no crowned king, only Dutong. The Qing Dynasty is still worried about Lin Danhan's old tribe!"

Liu Tingjie proudly said: "This is really cheap for me."

The vitality is seriously injured, coupled with the internal hostility, a mess, Monan Mongolia is really meat on the chopping board!

　Lin Danhan is really a bastard. He and Chongzhen are typical crouching dragons and phoenixes in the late Ming Dynasty, and they played good cards very poorly.
