Brother Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 282 Lin Danhan, Lord of Monan

"Huh...huh...huh..."

"They're right ahead, don't let them get away!"

"Catch them all and kill them!"

In the jungle, the shadows shuttle...

When dozens of soldiers dressed in Taungoo costumes and speaking Taungoo dialect were chasing and intercepting in the jungle, the target of all of them was just a dozen or so people.

"Bam—"

In the hasty pursuit, a slender Han man tripped over a long tree root, and in front of him a mantis-legged man with a horse's waist turned back immediately and helped her up.

"How? Can you still run?"

In the wet and cold forest, Shen Lian frowned and looked at the person in front of him, but this person raised his head with dirt on his face, his eyes were full of stubbornness.

Before he could open his mouth, a careless Jinyiwei rushed forward with a thin Jinyiwei. When he saw Jinyiwei kneeling on the ground, the man couldn't help but said:

"That's why Jin Yiwei doesn't need women at other times, except when spying on news. Please..."

Although he said so, he turned around honestly and put his hand on the long Qi family knife.

"Wang Xiaoqi, you take the map and go with them first."

Shen Lian patted the shoulder of the female Jinyiwei in front of him. The Jinyiwei of their gender was mainly a special Jinyiwei who was responsible for going to General Dongyu's mansion to investigate information. Their combat power was not strong, and Shen Lian didn't want to keep her.

Therefore, after explaining a sentence, he grabbed the knife and walked towards Lu Xiu, who was doing nothing.

The female Jin Yiwei also grabbed the map and got up and ran, while Lu Xiu listened to the sound of the pursuers and wrote lightly:
"It's not impossible for three people to fight against forty-two people."

"Ahem..." Lu Xian next to him coughed, and Shen Lian also wiped the water on the Yanling Saber.

"Dongyu's air is cold and damp, I'm afraid I won't come here again in this life."

Lu Xian coughed, and in the next second, an unclothed Toungyu soldier emerged from the jungle...

"Pfft-"

With the knife in his hand, Lu Xiu finished the opponent with a knife, and rushed into the jungle on his own initiative.

Shen Lian and Lu Xian followed closely behind, and the other nine Jinyi guards who had been told by them returned to Daming towards the nearest Nan Yaguan with a map of Toungoo.

In three days, the nine people traveled through more than [-] miles of primeval forest, and finally returned to Daming with a map of Toungoo.

This map was sent to Baima Pass in Shuntian Prefecture, more than [-] miles away, along with the expedited [-]-mile journey from Nanya Pass.

"it is good!"

On the first day of March, Zhu Youjian got the maps of Dongyu Mengyang and Mubang amidst the clamor.

From mountains, rivers, to city passes, the map depicts the entire territory of Mupang and Mengyang in detail, and once you get this map, it means that it is not difficult to conquer the Toungoo gate.

"Keep this picture away. I never thought that I could get such a great gift before going out. Shen Lian and the three of you can remember a great achievement!"

After closing the map, Zhu Youjian handed him to Lu Wenzhao beside him, and turned to look behind him.

At this moment, he is dressed in a mountain armor made of imperial armor, with a long knife and a riding gun pinned to his waist, and he looks very heroic.

He stood on a low slope a few miles outside the city of Baima Pass, and down the slope, nearly [-] cavalry, more than [-] infantry, and more than [-] civilians occupied the camp of Baima Pass and the long and narrow plain outside the pass.

"Sun Shoufa led the Longxiang Guard as the central army, Man Gui led the Xiaoqi, Tiance, and Yubayashi three guards as the rear guards to protect the civilian husbands, Cao Meng and Saihan commanded the Tengxiang four guards as the vanguard and went north first, and the four guards cavalry led the small flag. As a unit, put it fifty miles away."

Zhu Youjian methodically arranged the vanguard, rear army, and central army, and the three generals who received the military order also bowed to each other.

After bowing to receive the order, Man Gui put his hand on the long knife at his waist, and smiled at Zhu Youjian:

"Your Highness, that Hutudun should already know that we are going to make a northern expedition, but judging from the reports from the other departments of Harqin, he has not withdrawn yet, so he has some courage."

"It's not courage, it's ignorance..." Zhu Youjian snorted, he never took Lin Danhan seriously.

To put it bluntly, as long as there is an existence like Alda and Dayan on the Mongolian Plateau, Nurhachi and Huang Taiji in history will be smashed, and even the Yuan court may be revived.

It can be seen from the entry of the Qing army that the combat power of the Eight Banners has gradually declined in the tug-of-war with the Ming Dynasty, and the number of casualties has allowed them to pull out [-] men from the [-]th year of Wanli to the The embarrassment of only [-] when entering the customs.

If Li Zicheng hadn't attacked Beizhili, perhaps the infighting between Haoge and Dorgon would have lasted for more than ten years.

In this case, once the Mongolian tribes with more than [-] males are unified, the Ming and Qing Dynasties will face enormous pressure.

Lin Dan Khan, a political reckless man, spent more than [-] years to get Monan and Mobei to submit to him in name, which is not as good as I Da, let alone Dayan Khan.

To deal with this kind of political reckless, it is enough to destroy his vigor and divide the inside.

"Send people to contact Taiji from various ministries in Harqin, and tell them not to act rashly. Our goal this time is to drive away Hutudun and Bo Yunbai. It is Horqin who are really going to fight."

"Let them stay calm and wait until Hutudun is defeated and escape far away with Hutudun. In a few years, when I sweep the North again in Ming Dynasty, they will be treated well."

Zhu Youjian held the handle of the knife with one hand, and watched the army and civilians moving down the slope, feeling a sense of pride in his heart.

"The tribes of Horqin also promised that as long as I wipe out Auba, they will still be able to graze in Horqin, and Daming will build a city in Horqin to protect them."

"Yes!"

The conversation between the two was extremely relaxed, and it seemed that they didn't pay attention to the Mongolia of the Monan tribes.

It's true to think about it, the three major tribes in Hetao were defeated by them, and only these tribes in the eastern part of Monan were left. It is strange that they can confront the Ming army.

"leave!"

After that, Zhu Youjian turned around, and Saihan stretched out his hand to help him hold the horse.

All the generals mounted their horses together, and the army in the camp began to leave the camp in an orderly manner. The flags of each team formed a long red dragon, extending continuously.

Even the [-] civilian husbands were all dressed in mandarin duck battle jackets, holding simple spears in their hands, and carefully escorted the mules, horses and food carts under the escort of the three guards cavalry.

The Ming army moved, and compared to the bustle of the Yanshan Mountains, tens of thousands of Mongols are still grazing on their own under the southern foot of Harawen Mountain, more than [-] miles away, on the grassland where the spring snow melts and the grass grows. .

The adult men among them set up simple grazing tents on the outskirts of the grazing land. Each tent has twelve guards, which is equivalent to a fixed stronghold.

The people in the tent are sentry cavalry, and they are sent out for more than [-] miles to explore the surroundings, providing a safe grazing environment for the Mongolians stationed in the grazing land, and can issue warnings in time.

There is one such grazing tent every [-] miles, and it spreads southward for [-] miles, until it approaches the pass of the Yanshan Mountains, and then reaches their periphery.

"I don't know why the Great Khan wants to fight Daming. Now we don't even have black coal, so we can only go to the mountains and plains to find trees."

"Those straight women are liars. I heard that many Taiji are dissatisfied with Dahan's behavior."

On the green grass at the mouth of the Yanshan Mountains, two sentry cavalry in charge of sentry were walking, complaining non-stop about Lin Danhan's behavior of starting the war.

They were the cavalry of Chahar. Logically speaking, they should not have questioned their own sweat, but the trade cutoff caused by the war between Naihe and the Ming Dynasty made all of them feel inconvenient in life.

After getting used to simple and cheap briquettes, many people would rather exchange a dozen sheep for a year's worth of briquettes than to search for trees in the mountains and plains.

Unlike Monan, where people in later generations believed that there were trees all over the mountains and plains, except for places like Harawen Mountain where there are many trees, the Yanshan Mountains have very little vegetation.

From the end of the Song Dynasty to the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the world was always in a low temperature period, and this low temperature period caused the precipitation belt to move eastward.

Looking for a forest that can be used as firewood in the vast grasslands of the southern desert and northern desert, it can be said that it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Although the dung of livestock can also be burned, when the white disasters come in winter, all the cattle and sheep have to save food and clothing, and the amount of dung produced is not only small, but it also takes a long time to wait for them to be used as fuel.

After a white disaster, it is not surprising that hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were killed or injured in the pastures of some small lords.

But since Zhu Youjian invented briquettes, the small lords of various ministries can exchange cattle and sheep for a large amount of briquettes to burn in tents.

Some cow and horse manure was collected in a special tent, and then a dozen briquettes were placed in the tent, so that for three consecutive days, the cow and horse manure was dry enough to be burned directly.

Not only that, some wealthy small lords simply fenced a pasture for cattle and sheep, and then lit the cattle and horse manure in the pasture to resist the cold for the livestock.

As a result, the number of livestock that died under the white plague was greatly reduced, and although the various ministries used cattle and sheep for trade, overall they still made money.

Therefore, the result of the severance of the mutual market and severance of trade is the complete severance of cheap briquettes, and the white disaster last year has intensified the dissatisfaction of the ministries with Lin Danhan, Bo Yunai and others.

If the herd of dead cattle and sheep were traded for briquettes and salted tea, all the nobles would be able to live comfortably through the winter.

As a result, not only the cattle and sheep died, but the winter was also difficult.

This made them all miss the period of Mingmeng peace, and they even cursed Lin Danhan's stupid behavior in private.

From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult...

Many Mongolians at this moment have begun to be dissatisfied with Lin Dan Khan's rule.

It was because of such dissatisfaction that many Jinyiwei of Beizhen Fusi hidden in various ministries obtained a lot of information through the lords of all parties.

In general, the strength of Bo Yunai and Lin Danhan is around [-].

But if the dissatisfied nobles all evacuate Harawen Mountain, the strength of Lin Danhan and Bo Yunai will only be [-] to [-].

Looking at it this way, the situation is very obvious. Except for Bo Yunai and Lin Danhan, everyone does not want to fight this battle.

They don't care whether Lin Danhan can unify Monan Mobei, they care about immediate interests.

No matter the country or the tribe, the feudal system or the modern system, the upper-class people are using collective public tools to seek their own interests. This is human nature.

Similarly, Lin Danhan, who is a big sweat, cannot be unaware of the criticisms from the people below, but he only feels that these people are short-sighted.

He is Borjijin Lindanbatur, who claims to be the Khan of the [-] Mongols in Hanhai.

This is Lin Danhan's arrogance, and such arrogance is not only hidden in his heart, but also expressed by his behavior.

"Hutuktu Khan has an order that Taiji and Baylor of all tribes go to the golden tent to discuss matters!"

The sentinels were delivering orders, and although the Taijibeiles of the various ministries were reluctant, they all went to the big tent in the center of the grazing land honestly.

The constant influx of Belle Taiji packed the big tent to the brim, while Lin Danhan, who was sitting in the main seat, had a satisfied expression on his face.

After finally waiting for all the Taiji to arrive, Lin Danhan said:

"Some of our sentry cavalry in Yanshan discovered that the Ming army was going northward. This time it was Zhu Youjian, that baby, who led the army. The scale should be [-] to [-] soldiers."

"Five or sixty thousand?"

"so much?"

"Then it must be four to five hundred thousand if you count the civil servants?"

"It's time to move while it's still far away."

"Quiet!" Lin Danhan scolded them unhappily, looking at the various Taijis in a mess:
"Although the Ming army has a large number of people, there are only [-] to [-] cavalry, and there are still seven or eight hundred miles away from us. Why are you panicking?"

Lin Danhan is very majestic, he doesn't take Zhu Youjian seriously, even in his mouth, Zhu Youjian seems to be just a baby.

However, his prestige only represented him. After he finished yelling, Bo Yunxie was a little restless and said:

"Khan, the distance and speed of the cavalry of the Ming army are very long and fast. Zhu Youjian only spent six or seven days in Hetao and ran for thousands of miles. We should move now."

"That's right, it's still too late to relocate. When Zasak Tuhan and the others go south, it won't be too late for us to go to Grass Valley."

"It's not long before spring, and the cows and horses haven't been fattened yet, and some of the horses are so thin that they can't even carry children. How can we fight?"

"Khan, we can think about it. If we move north temporarily, the supplies of the Ming army will not be able to keep up."

What Bo Yunai said immediately made many Karaqin lords join in. After all, they are the inner ghosts hiding among the Mongols, and no one wants to conflict with Zhu Youjian.

If they knew that Bo Yunbai had secretly formed an alliance with the Jurchens, they would definitely abandon him immediately and take the news to join Daming instead of letting him burn Baimaguan Exchange.

Now I haven't caught a fart, and I will be chased and beaten by Zhu Youjian's troops...

Thinking of this, some Belateji of Harqin looked at Bo Yunai with eyes full of resentment.

As for Bo Yunai, he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did. After all, after the local barbarians were wiped out and the three Hetao tribes were also wiped out, he, who was stuck in the middle, would definitely be swallowed up by Daming.

Only by annexing and obtaining the buffer zone in the north of Yanshan, can the city of Beijing be safe, and the Ming cavalry can build the city outside the pass.

So he never regretted it. What he regretted was that he didn't do it so neatly at the time.

If he had breached the White Horse Pass at that time and led his troops to plunder near the capital, maybe Daming could only increase his annual reward and not be as embarrassed as he is now.

Who would have thought that Zhu Youjian could leave the elite three guards in the Yanshan barracks to garrison Baima Pass when he was sweeping the set...

It's just that it's useless to regret now, what Bo Yunxie thinks now is to run first, and when Zhu Youjian goes to fight Jurchen, he will go to Caogu again.

He was really scared to death of Zhu Youjian, if he hadn't been fooled by Fan Wencai for a while, worried that Zhu Youjian would deal with him after he beat Hetao, he would not have rebelled.

To put it bluntly, it was because he had done too many bad things to Daming in the past, even if Zhu Youjian offered him the conditions of Marquis, he would not dare to become an official in Daming.

In terms of the frequency of invading bandits, he is more than Huo Luochi and Su Nang combined...

"Move to the north? Move to what?"

Never thought, when everyone was thinking about moving north, Lin Danhan suddenly sneered and said:
"He, Zhu Youjian, can come to Monan casually. Doesn't that mean that the Mongolian Kingdom has become a pasture that he can enter and exit? Then what are we? His herdsmen?"

"Form is better than people. It's better to move temporarily and let him waste money and food. When the people are strong and horses are strong in autumn, then go south to Hetao to fight grass valley. Zhu Youjian can't be as fast as our horses, right?" Bo Yunxi listened Lin Danhan's words, patiently persuading.

In his opinion, fighting the Ming army head-on is like being kicked in the head by a horse.

At the beginning, he led more than [-] people and failed to win the White Horse Pass. Now that the Ming army has been dispatched, they only have [-] to [-] people. How could they beat it?
"If he comes to Harawen Mountain, I will go to Xuanfu!"

Lin Danhan stubbornly wanted to go south, but when he saw this, Bo Yungui became angry immediately:

"If you want to go, just go, I want to take people to Beilu!"

After that, he turned his head to look at Beile Taiji from the various tribes of Harqin, and they also echoed when they saw this:
"It's better to hide first."

"Avoid the sharp edge of the Ming army, wait until autumn and then go south to fight the Grass Valley."

"The strength of the troops is equal, even if they win, the casualties will be heavy."

People who support the northward move still occupy the majority, and this scene made Lin Danhan instantly dissatisfied:

"Uncle Huanxie! Since you have recognized me as a sweater, you must obey my orders now."

"I am willing to obey, but only if it is not a stupid Khan's order!" Bo Yuncai turned on Lin Danhan.

He also has his own pride. When he and his father invaded and harassed the Ming army, Lin Danhan was just a baby.

How many times has he fought against the Ming army?Now he put down his figure and tried to persuade him for a long time, but he is still so stubborn.

Then there is no way, anyway, he will not do the thing of sending him to death.

"You..." Lin Danhan subconsciously put his hands on the handle of the knife at his waist, but the Taiji of the Harqin also noticed this, and put their hands on their waists one after another.

This scene was seen by Lin Danhan. No matter how arrogant he was, he knew that there were more Karaqin Taiji and Baylor in the tent. If there was a real fight, his own safety might not be guaranteed.

Therefore, he could only suppress his anger and say:
"You can take your troops with you, but you must leave behind five thousand cavalry."

"Okay!" Hearing that five thousand cavalrymen were to be retained, although Bo Yunai was unwilling, he still didn't want to break face with Lin Danhan, and the five thousand cavalrymen were not from his family.

"Subdi, call for one hundred cavalry from each department, and we will send one thousand and five thousand cavalry to Hutuktu Khan!"

"Yes!" Hearing his own Abu's words, Subudi also took the initiative to stand up, and Lin Danhan also calmed down his uncomfortable emotions a little when he saw this, and raised his hand to signal Bo Yunao to leave.

Seeing this, Bo Yunai immediately left the golden tent with the people of the Karaqin tribes, and after they left, Lin Danhan looked at the only remaining Chahar tribes, Taiji and Baylor, with a gloomy expression. The face said:

"You gather troops and horses, and your family members move north with Karaqin."

"Yes..." Hearing Lin Danhan's words, Zhubu Beiletaiji heaved a sigh of relief.

Although they were a little apprehensive about fighting against the Ming army, what they were most afraid of was the safety of their families.

If the tribe can be moved to the north first, then even if the fight is not going well, they can escape north, so as not to be unable to take the tribe away.

It's just that they breathed a sigh of relief, but Lin Danhan was dissatisfied.

To be honest, if it wasn't for Bo Yunxie who wanted to lead people to evacuate, he would not have let the tribes move north.

After all, in his opinion, Su Nang and Huo Luochi were defeated by Zhu Youjian because they were useless.

Harqin and Tuman are on the same level, and he and Huang Taiji have wiped out the Tuman, and there is no difference between Harqin and waste.

Since the Ming army has never conquered Harqin and Tuman, it must be due to lack of strength.

Then his own headquarters that can easily defeat the barbarians, even if they cannot defeat the Ming army, will not end up in a disastrous defeat.

So what he thought was to command the troops of Chahar and Karaqin, first frustrate the spirit of the Ming army, and then take part of the spoils to go northward, and then take the opportunity to subdue Waikalkha in Mobei.

As long as Wai Khalkha is subdued, he will have a hundred thousand string-controlling men under his command.

At that time, when the Ming army goes to fight the Jurchen, he will conquer Horqin, and then go west to conquer Moxi Oirat.

As long as these major tribes are conquered, he will be the veritable lord of [-] Mongols, with tens of thousands of under his command, he can easily invade Hetao and harass Hexi.

At that time, as long as you gather your troops and win a game, you can take the opportunity to propose mutual market and yearly rewards to the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, he is the ZTE master of the second Great Mongol Kingdom after Dayan Khan.

It's just that the idea is very good, but it is difficult to implement it. Bo Yunxie took the lead in opposing his actions, which made Lin Danhan very angry.

If it wasn't for the coming of Zhu Youjian's troops, he would never mind teaching him a lesson before cleaning up Zhu Youjian.

But now that the matter has developed to this point, he can't take back what he said to send troops.

It is necessary to send troops, but second-hand preparations must be made, so he arranged for the troops to move north.

To be honest, he was also prepared to run away if he couldn't beat him.

Although it is a bit embarrassing, as long as he can get some spoils, he can go back and brag about his "results" against the Ming army.

Anyway, if the Ming army can't catch up with him, they will have to retreat, and no one will expose him at that time.

With this result, he will be able to stabilize Waikalka and Harqin, and take the opportunity to win Horqin over.

Thinking of this, Lin Danhan thought about how to fight this battle.

But no matter how they fight, first of all they cannot be held back by the Ming army, or they will face the scene of being chased by the Ming army.

In addition, he can't kill or injure too many people, otherwise, even if he gets a lot of trophies from the Ming army, it will also damage his prestige in Chahar.

Therefore, after many associations, he finally ordered:

"Assemble the army, let's go south to teach Zhu Youjian's vanguard army a lesson."

　Today is still normal at four o'clock, but it may be later if Calvin
