I am one year older than Chongzhen

Chapter 362 New Chapter 342: Misjudgment

In history, Lin Dan Khan was frightened by the slaves. After receiving the news in advance, he did not prepare for war, but ran away quickly.

Today is completely different from history. There are seven groups of Mongolians who secretly came to report the news, and they were from seven Mongolian tribes that had already surrendered to the slaves.

Lin Dan Khan inherited the throne at the age of thirteen and was the co-owner of the eight Otoks of Haqite, Naiman, Keshiketeng, Ujimqin, Sunit, Aohan, Alakzot and Zhuxiti. , is the king of the Mongolian tribes in Monan, and is familiar with the Mongolian tribes who took refuge in Houjin.

The seven tribes that sent people to report the news all have some strength. The smallest is a tribe belonging to Asut, with no less than 1,500 string-controllers. The largest is a tribe originally belonging to Zarut, with 4,000 string-controllers. Multi-stringer.

The chiefs of the seven tribes once recognized Lin Dan Khan as their co-leader. Later, they defected to Hou Jin because they could not defeat him.

After the Jin army entered the Ming Dynasty and made a fortune, their loyalty increased a lot.

It's a pity that these loyalties were exhausted in the Battle of Daling River.

The armored servants of Liaodong generals such as Zu Dashou and He Kegang were no weaker than Jiannu, and they could definitely fight against the Mongolian light cavalry.

In the early days of the Hou Jin Army's encirclement and reinforcements, the Ming Army in Dalinghe City often attacked, and the Mongolian servants were always strictly ordered by Huang Taiji to fight.

Not only that, the Mongolian cavalry were often supervised by slaves and had to fight against the armored servants. Every casualty made the chiefs tremble with distress.

Jiannu was happy to see both the Mongolian soldiers and the Ming army lose in a fight.

The Mongolian chiefs are not stupid, they just dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

He was transferred again by Hou Jin, but he still didn't dare not to come. This time he was beating his old master Lin Danhan.

More than half of the Mongolian chiefs who surrendered and became slaves felt that a war was inevitable, and it didn't really matter who lost and who won.

The most important thing is how much will the warriors of their tribe lose?

At this time, the Mongols had no concept of country or national consciousness at all. They worshiped the strong and relied on the strong.

The Mongolian tribes that took refuge in the Jian slaves once relied on the Ming Dynasty, and later accepted the rule of Lin Dan Khan...

Anyway, whoever is stronger will be recognized as the boss.

But no matter who is the boss, he cannot allow his tribe to suffer huge casualties.

In order to avoid uncontrollable losses, the seven chiefs on both sides chose to send their confidants to secretly collude with the old master Lin Danhan.

The masters of the envoys had contact with the senior leaders of the Hou Jin Army, and the information was more valuable.

Not only did they clearly explain the number and equipment of the Later Jin Army, the time of dispatch, and the route of march, they also gave a complete account of the number of men and horses in various Mongolian tribes.

They all stated that accompanying the Hou Jin Army in sending troops was a last resort and they were forced to do so, and they would never really be loyal to the Hou Jin Army.

The Tatars have long lost the glory they had during the Genghis Khan period, and are now just grassroots.

These families were hedging their bets. In order to avoid telling the truth, they sent their confidants to come and deliver oral messages. No one dared to write a letter on paper.

It can be seen that after the Jin army won a great victory, they would not hesitate to participate in beating the drowned dogs and snatching the cattle, sheep, horses and women of the Chahar tribe.

On the contrary, if Lin Dan Khan won a great victory, these people would probably dare to defect in the face of battle. They have all been jealous of the equipment of the Jin Army for a long time!

As soon as Jiannu sent out troops, so many Mongolian tribes came to inform him and stated that they would violate his position. This greatly encouraged Lin Dan Khan and led to misjudgment.

His judgment in history was correct. The Chahar tribe, which was in decline, was far inferior to the Jin army. Escape in time was the wisest choice.

Now Lin Danhan is very ambitious and has the dream of fighting with all his strength and defeating the Jin Army to achieve greater glory!

Therefore, Lin Dan Khan did not run away immediately, but instead sent an order to the various Mongolian tribes and ordered all the chiefs to unite to fight Jiannu in the field. The freshly released Ujimqin tribe Jihdan Bater also received a rally order from Lin Dan Khan with the seal of the country.

He had nothing to do in the middle of winter and couldn't sit still. In the twelfth lunar month, he had just swallowed up a tribe and increased its population by more than 700 people.

While he was thinking about whether to go east and kill another tribe belonging to Tumote, Khan increased his troops.

Of course Hedanbaatar was willing to fight against the Jiannu and unite dozens of tribes and gather tens of thousands of troops.

He responded positively and set off with 7,000 string-controllers, including 1,800 armored cavalry.

He did not send anyone to contact the base area because he knew that Huang Yi led the main force into the pass to fight the rebels in Shandong and was not in Xinghe City.

Hedanbaat'er's life was comfortable during this period.

Their cattle, sheep, furs, wool, etc. can be sold to the base areas at reasonable prices.

They can buy arrow clusters, iron face armor, and steel breastplates produced in the base area at the best prices.

When you go to Xinghe City to buy food, you can also enjoy the price of allies, which is the same as the price of food for ordinary people in the city.

The stronger the strong, the more they have.

The Hedanbaat'er tribe, which no longer had to worry about food and clothing, had been on the road of expansion, annexing one or even several small and medium-sized tribes from time to time.

By the end of the fifth year of Chongzhen's reign, Hedanbaat'er's tribe had a population of more than 18,000, so it was able to organize 7,000 string controllers.

The first Baturu Karatu became a veritable captain of thousands. His troops were the most elite troops of the Hedanbaatar tribe. Half of the thousand string controllers under his command were armored cavalry.

It was the first time for Hedanbaatar to lead troops and horses to participate in the battle as Ujumqin Bu Taiji, and it can be said that he was very motivated.

He originally thought that after Lin Dan Khan gave the order, all the chiefs and Taiji would come with their troops, and they should be able to gather 100,000 string controllers.

Who would have thought that it should be taken for granted that he was the only one who foolishly tried his best, while the rest of the tribe only had a thousand or several hundred men and horses at most, and only three hundred riders at the least.

Fortunately, Chahar's headquarters has 30,000 troops.

The total number of soldiers and horses is 50,000, all of them are Mongolian string masters who are skilled in bows and horses and can fight in a battle.

Lin Dan Khan's first reaction when he saw Hedan Battelle leading the 7,000-strong horse-horse association was not to be grateful or moved, but to say some emotional words such as brothers working together to make a profit.

But suspicion and caution!

Because Lin Dan Khan remembered that when Hedan Batter's tribe defected, there were only one or two thousand people.

In just three or four years, Hedanbaat'er's tribe has become so powerful, which is horrifying to think about!

Lin Dan Khan did not negotiate with Hedan Batter's Ministry at all, but issued an order to let Hedan Batter's Ministry be the vanguard to fight against the post-war Jin army, and he led his troops to suppress the battle.

Let others take the lead and hide behind to pick up the peaches. Hedanbaatar is not stupid, so of course he is not willing to do so.

He has cooperated with Huang Yi many times, and every time he saw Huang Yi taking the lead and leading his troops to the front.

However, Lin Danhan, the co-owner of the prairie, was really unworthy of his role, and he rebelled against his relatives.

At this time, Hedanbaatar could understand why other tribes were unwilling to go all out, because it was not worth it for such a person.

However, he did not disobey the order on the spot and immediately led his troops to the east.
