I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 329
Chapter 328

Huang Taiji thought that the timing of his choice was very subtle.After all, he knows Mobei Mongolia better. Mobei Mongolia is poorer than Monan Mongolia and has worse equipment. Of course, poor equipment also means worse combat effectiveness.

Even Lin Dan Khan, who is known as the co-lord of Mongolia, Huang Taiji dared to lead [-] Jiannu cavalry to pursue Lin Dan Khan's more than [-] troops. Even with ten times the superior force, Lin Dan Khan was beaten into a mess.

But the problem is that parallel imports like Lin Danhan can overwhelm the tribes in Mobei, at least the Zhungeer tribe of the Little Overlord of the Western Regions, still dare not take advantage of Lin Danhan.

Of course, the Zhungeer tribe did not dare to fight Lin Dan Khan at that time, because it formed an alliance with Chaoke Tutaiji (Qa Tu Khan) in Mobei Wai Khalkha, Zangba Khan in Tibet, and Baili Chieftain Yue Dunduoji in Kham , because they do not believe in the Yellow Sect, so they are called the "Anti-Yellow Sect Alliance".

But in history, in the ninth year of Chongzhen, Chaoke Tutaiji was captured and killed by Batur.

Since the Battle of Baliwan, Shenyang's booming momentum came to an abrupt end, and as the Ming Dynasty ransacked the eight families of Shanxi merchants and wiped out their clans, Cheng Shijie established a line of defense by the Hunhe River, and then kept a close eye on the Guanning Army. , the formation of the strategic encirclement of the slaves, the city has gradually become deserted.

The ethnic groups living in this bitterly cold place are very sensitive to power. The Battle of Baliwan made them realize that Jiannu is not invincible, and Ming is not as vulnerable as they imagined. Standing firm and gaining victories, this cognition is getting deeper and deeper.

They didn't have the guts to ignore Jiannu, but after all, they were not as active as before when Jiannu asked them to provide soldiers, animal power, food fodder, and tribute property, and Shenyang gradually declined.

However, now, this city is bustling again. Many tribes such as the Mongolian Aohan tribe, Naiman tribe, Horqin tribe, Khalkha tribe, and Tumote tribe who are pro-slaves, nobles from the Eight Banners of Manchuria, from Ningguta The leaders of Sauron's tribe gathered in Shenyang.

The reason they gathered in Shenyang was that there was food here, and there was also a way of life here. As Ning Haijun opened a pass to stabilize Jiannu and start foreign trade in Liaoyang, Jiannu acted as a second-hand dealer.

Ning Haijun offered Jiannu a price of three stones of grain for a horse, two stones of grain for a thin warhorse, and even lower prices for draft horses and camels, while Jiannu lowered the price even more. For example, the Mongols brought horses, and the Saurons picked For a large number of precious furs, the Xibo people brought holly from the sea.

These materials were all stripped by Jiannu. However, although they were severely stripped, the problem is that they can only die if they don't trade. Therefore, in this case, they can only bite the bullet and come to trade.

The materials from Liaoyang were transported to Shenyang. In Shenyang, you led the horses and I carried the burdens of the tribes in Shenyang. It was so lively!

In all fairness, Ning Haijun’s price for Jiannu is still fair, but after Jiannu peels off a layer, the price is not good, just like the cabbage that the watermelon production will sell to the outside world for [-] cents a catty, and the watermelon for [-] to [-] cents. Well, the beans are only one piece, but when citizens buy them from supermarkets or farmers' markets, the price has more than doubled by more than ten times.

Huang Taiji has already earned a lot of food and supplies through trading, but the problem is that due to the impact of the snowstorm, whether it is Jiannu or the Mongolian ministries, they can trade only a limited number of things. Now the transaction is almost over, and there is no material transaction. Without Shenyang, the city of Shenyang would weaken again.

Knowing that Cheng Shijie is about to win, it is not a wise choice to sit on the sidelines, and it is not a good choice to follow the Mongols to fight against Ming.

In fact, Huang Taiji is also very clear that even if Cheng Shijie transferred more than [-] elites from Liaodong, the current Ning Navy has completed its strategic mobilization, and the troops stationed in Liaoyang alone are no less than [-] cavalry. , Liaozhong, and along the Hunhe River are strictly guarded against death.

According to information from Huang Taiji's sentinels, ice walls have been set up along the entire Hunhe River, and there are also a large number of arrow towers. It can be said that the Liaozhong defense line has been turned into an iron wall by the Ning Navy.

Of course, Huang Taiji didn't know that in Liaodong now, the Ning Navy has not many troops. There are only less than 5 troops in total, and nearly one-third of them are recruits. The little day warrior Cheng Shijie didn't believe them. In order to prevent the little day from making trouble secretly, Ning Haijun used two captains, plus more than 100 artillery pieces and more than 300 rocket launchers to watch these little day warriors.

In fact, the Ning Navy can't even pick out 2 people in Liaodong now, but the Tuntian Army has mobilized 140 five towns, and the craftsmen in major factories, especially shipyards, have also armed more than [-] people.

If Huang Taiji really wanted to fight Liaodong, he would definitely hit his head badly, and he would never be able to chew on the Hunhe defense line.

Now Huang Taiji decided to take advantage of Cheng Shijie leading more than [-] Ning's elite navy to fight Mobei Mongolia, he picked peaches from behind, and picked the old, weak, women and children of Mobei Mongolia.

Simply mobilize the Eight Banners and the left and right camps of Mongolia. Although it is said that the various ministries of Monan Mongolia under Huang Taiji have the same origin as Mobei Mongolia, the problem is that if Mongolia does not split, there will be no Hong Taiji.

Mongolia was able to split Mobei Mongolia, Monan Mongolia, and Moxi Mongolia. The hatred accumulated by the three parties is not small, and the world feud, the grievances that can't be united by a dog's brain, can't be explained clearly in three days.

Under such circumstances, it was very easy for Huang Taiji to unify his thoughts. To put it simply, he picked peaches, robbed cattle and sheep, and robbed women...

Without the 30 million shi of grain sent by Ning Haijun, Jiannu would not have the strength to go out, but the problem is that now that he has grain, he will naturally have strength.

Outside the city of Shenyang, flags were flying and people were shouting and neighing, which was very spectacular.Zhenghong Banner, Xianghong Banner, Zhenghuang Banner, Xianghuang Banner, Zhenglan Banner, Zhengbai Banner, Xianglan Banner, Xiangbai Banner... All the elites of the Eight Banners of Jiannu gathered here, and the military capacity was unprecedented.

These Mongolian and Jiannu soldiers had green eyes, like a group of hungry wolves eager for fresh meat.

"Khan, what are you thinking?"

With the expedition imminent, Huang Taiji was also a little hesitant, it's not like he didn't understand the truth.This time he threw stones at Mobei and Moxi Mongolia. After Mobei and Moxi Mongolia were destroyed, would there be a future for their Jin Kingdom?
Not counting the entire Ming Dynasty now, Cheng Shijie could mobilize more than [-] elite troops. If these [-] troops attacked the Dajin Kingdom, he would have no choice but to escape.

Huang Taiji knew that he was attacking Mobei Mongolia, but he just drank doves to quench his thirst. Hearing Fan Wencheng's question, he cleared up his complicated mood, looked at Fan Wencheng and said, "Fan Aiqing is resourceful and resourceful. With a little trick, he stabilized the situation, and even Let me, Da Jin, take a big step forward, and I am worthy of being the pillar of the country!"

Fan Wencheng actually supports Huang Taiji's sending troops. His opinion is that this time, he will unite with Daming to deal with Mobei and Moxi Mongolia first. After Mobei and Moxi Mongolia are eliminated, Daming will definitely not and cannot have the strength to enter Mobei and Moxi mean that Dajin Kingdom can develop north and west.

Accumulate strength, and then plan for the future.

"It's not the merit of the humble minister, it is actually the destiny of the king of Khan, and what the humble minister has done is just in response to the destiny above and the heart of the people below."

Fan Wencheng seemed to see the hesitation in Huang Taiji's heart, and he said anxiously: "King Khan, don't hesitate, there is no retreat! Suppress Mobei Mongolia, take a chance, don't win, wait until Daming cleans up Mobei Mongolia, when they turn back, Da Jin can only be strangled by the Ming country little by little, and finally wiped out!"

Huang Taiji sighed and said: "Ben Khan has never hesitated. It's just that Dajin is facing many difficulties now, and his strength is not as good as before. At this time, if we help the strong and destroy the weak, can we really succeed?"

"King Khan, no matter how bad a decision is at this time, it is better than no decision. If you make a decision, you will make a decision, and you will continue to suffer from it!"

Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ben Khan has decided, swear to go to war!"

The news that Huang Taiji commanded tens of thousands of slaves sent troops could not be concealed from Ning Haijun at all. With the transaction between Ning Haijun and Jiannu, the short-lived peace also gave birth to a group of interest groups who built slaves. Huang Taiji had just assembled various troops. At the time, even before he made up his mind to send troops, the news was already on Sun Zhichen's desk.

Sun Zhichen breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank God, this difficulty can finally be overcome!"

Sun Chengzong's eyes became darker: "Jiannu's dead end, it's over!"

With Sun Chengzong's strategic vision, it can be seen at a glance that Huang Taiji is willing to temporarily unite with Cheng Shijie to exterminate Mobei Mongolia. This is a subtle and good move.Taking advantage of natural disasters to swallow Mobei Mongolia, Jiannu's losses in the Battle of Baliwan can basically be made up for, especially this time, Huang Taiji will definitely focus on capturing the teenagers and children of Mobei Mongolia and raise them for a few years , they will no longer be Mongols, but slaves.

Owning the huge territory in Mobei, Daming completely lost the chance to eliminate Jiannu.Even Emperor Taizu Hongwu and Emperor Yongle made more than a dozen northern expeditions, but they did not eliminate the Mongols.

How strong was Ming Dynasty at that time?But it is definitely not comparable to the current Daming.

Sun Zhichen said: "I believe the commander-in-chief will find a way!"

Sun Chengzong smiled lightly: "I really don't know where your confidence comes from?"

Sun Zhichen recalled Cheng Shijie's eyes on the fire ox cart. Cheng Shijie said that the real reason for the news of the cavalry was not the firearms, although machine guns and automatic firearms can effectively kill the cavalry.

But the problem is that the cavalry has an absolute advantage in speed. If you equip firearms, other cavalry can also equip them. Even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, our army maintained [-] cavalry divisions, with a total of more than [-] cavalry.

Cavalry can use horses to carry machine guns, light artillery and ammunition for long-distance maneuvering, and still have an absolute advantage. Just like the current Ning Navy cavalry, there are very few cavalry charge operations. The musket kills the enemy.

The real reason for the disappearance of the cavalry is the railway, the well-developed railway network, which makes the cavalry's mobility advantage no longer exist. In this way, the high cost of feeding the cavalry has forced the cavalry, which has been playing a major role in the history of thousands of years of war The troops disappeared in the long river of history.

Now Ning Haijun has begun to explore the manufacture of steam locomotives. The first railway of Ning Haijun began to be built in Gaizhou Engineering College under the auspices of Guo Xin. This 800-meter-long circular railway has begun to take shape. , although this steam engine train is just a toy, somewhat like the Thomas train of later generations, it can carry twelve carriages, transport [-] catties of weight, and move forward at a speed of twelve kilometers per hour.

In the near future, the carrying capacity of this kind of railway will become larger and faster, and the speed will also become faster and faster. When the railway is repaired to Shenyang, Huang Taiji can only lose Shenyang and escape, and when the railway is repaired to Kulun, Huang Taiji can only escape.

Even the trains of the steam age can carry a division of troops and travel thousands of miles day and night, but war horses are far from able to do this, especially the rugged mountain roads, which are not too difficult for trains.

Of course, when Cheng Shijie received the news of Huang Taiji's dispatch of troops, Cheng Shijie had already completed the encirclement of the tens of thousands of Mongolian troops of the Tuxietu Khan. In the middle of the defense line, within a range of about ten miles.

It can be said that the Mongolian army of the current Tuxietu tribe is hard to fly, and the mountains on both sides of them are rugged. If it is summer, they can also use the method of climbing to cross the Yanshan Mountains. The problem is that it is now covered with ice and snow.

In fact, in order to prevent the Mongolian army from breaking out from both sides, the reconnaissance infantry of the Ning Navy's Guards Division defended above and used grenades to defend the mountainous area, which is definitely a sharp weapon.

Cheng Shijie was wearing a windbreaker, looking at the torches extending to the horizon in the distance, and remained silent.You don't need to look at him to guess that there must be many Mongolian soldiers huddled together in the tent at this time. Ning Haijun has far more clothes than them, and the warmth effect is not so strong. It is still cold in the wilderness. It was a bit unbearable, let alone the thinly dressed Mongolian soldiers.

Their shabby clothes can't even be compared with a farmer in the pass, but it is this group of guys who look like beggars who have used their sabers, bows and arrows to fight against Da Ming for more than 200 years, pushing Da Ming back to the pass step by step, even Went to the capital of Gyeonggi to scatter wild several times!
It is no exaggeration to say that they are wolves, they are indeed as cruel and tough as wolves!
Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "You are all strong fighters, but unfortunately, your time has passed."

Located halfway up the waist, this is the royal tent of King Gonpo of the Tushetu Khan tribe. In the tent, tallow candles are burning slowly. May be off.

Gonpo sat stiffly on the hu bed, the wine glass in his hand was full of rich and rich kumiss, but he didn't take a sip, just stared at the glass in a daze.

This wine glass is a goblet transported by business travelers from the Liaodong area. It is crystal clear without any impurities, and through it you can see the tiniest residue in the wine.

This kind of beautiful thing naturally caused quite a stir on the grassland. Gonpo used three horses to replace it, and handed it over to his most beloved concubine for safekeeping. He always took it out and poured fine wine to show off on every grand festival. After a while, it can always attract countless envious eyes.When he has nothing to do, he will take it out to enjoy it, the more he looks at it, the more he loves it, the more he looks at it, the more amazed.

With his knowledge, even exhausting all his imagination, he can't figure out how such a beautiful thing is made. In his opinion, only the gods can create such a beautiful thing!

God, the ancient nation in Guannei can also create such beautiful things.They have a large population and countless skilled craftsmen, soft and smooth silk, magnificent porcelain, magnificent palaces, solemn and solemn temples...

These things that they can only marvel at are nothing to the Han people, they are commonplace.The fertile land, developed agriculture, and hundreds of millions of people gave that nation sufficient conditions to create a magnificent and exquisite civilization, while the descendants of Changshengtian only had to eat sand.The only thing they can be proud of is probably their force.

They don't have such a strong creativity, most of them can't even eat enough, but they can rely on bows and sabers to grab everything they lack!That ancient nation was just like the beautiful object in his hand, delicate and beautiful, but extremely fragile, and would break if touched.

However, the tragic battles of the past few days shattered his poor pride. The wailing of dead bodies and wounded soldiers resounding through the night sky made him realize that the bows, arrows and sabers of the Mongols had lost their former glory. Magical power, they are as fragile as glass in front of the Ming army!And the Ming army has evolved from fragile porcelain to an indestructible hammer!

Now the Tuxietu Khan tribe has fallen into a desperate situation. The Jing'an Fort to the north of them was captured by the Ning Navy's 500 cavalry before dawn. These Mongolian soldiers were quietly touched into the tent by the scout cavalry in their sleep. At least [-] people were dealt with silently.

That's right, the reconnaissance unit is formed by Cheng Shijie according to the special forces of later generations. It usually focuses on reconnaissance, sentry detection, infiltration, and lurking. Many scouts in the Ning Navy are from the front army. People's martial arts and strong physical fitness, after possessing the excellent equipment of Ning Haijun, they are undoubtedly even more powerful.

In this way, without firing an arrow or firing a single shot, the scouts of the Annan Army of the Ning Navy rushed into the city of Jing'an Fort. When the Mongolian soldiers found out, it was too late. Soldiers are too strong, whether they are fighting alone or fighting against the enemy in formation.

It took less than half an hour for Li Dingguo to completely occupy Jing'an Fort, and they immediately began repairing Jing'an Fort. If it was summer, it would be very difficult to repair Jing'an Fort. After all, it takes time to build a castle, but it is winter. It is relatively easy, the snow is patted, the hot water is poured, and it is instantly frozen into an ice wall.

When the Mongolian army wanted to retake Jing'an Fort, they encountered intensive grenade bombing. In just a quarter of an hour, more than [-] Mongolian troops who tried to retake Jing'an Fort were killed and injured.

Even if they learn how to deal with the Ming army on the Baihe defense line, they won't be able to do it, because no matter how bad Jing'an Castle is, it's still a castle, condescending, and calling names one by one with rifles.

After seven consecutive attacks with no results, the Mongolian army gave up their plan to recapture Jing'an Fort, but the problem is that Li Dingguo is a rather crazy person. More than a hundred reconnaissance cavalry from the Ning Navy rushed out of Jing'an Fort.

Before nightfall, Gonpo held a meeting. Some generals who were red-eyed proposed to attack again tomorrow, but they were immediately overwhelmed by saliva.

Thinking of the angry and unwilling eyes of those generals, Gonpo smiled wryly.Why doesn't he want to attack again, why doesn't he want to flatten the Baihe defense line, kill the Ning navy, and avenge the warriors who died in battle?
But this battle really can't be fought anymore, and they can't win any more... They are blocked by Jing'an Fort in the north, and Ning Haijun is gradually compressed in the south. .

Gonpo raised his head sharply and drank the fine wine in his glass.Alcoholic wine was poured into the mouth, but it brought unspeakable bitterness.He shook his head and murmured, "I wish it was the time of Genghis Khan..."

Gonpo couldn't sleep, and neither could many people.More than 8000 wounded soldiers were lying in the barracks. They lacked clothing and medicine, and could not receive medical treatment. They lay in tents and wailed in pain. The screams made many people unable to sleep. The screams seemed to indicate a terrible fate. , making everyone frightened.

The insomniac Mongolian soldier holds a scimitar in his hand, looks at the full moon in the sky, and silently prays for his own destiny.The night was very long, and the pain of many wounded soldiers gradually faded away, and then they could no longer be heard.

This kind of thing is too common. In the past two days, hundreds of wounded people could not survive to the next day. The first thing everyone did every morning was to clean up the corpses.

At this time in the capital, the cabinet leaders Wu Zongda and Wang Yingxiong couldn't sleep, they couldn't sleep because of the excitement.

They just received the news that He Sui, the general of Yongxing Fort under the command of Xie Zhiliang, the commander-in-chief of Taiyuan Town, accepted their wooing. Because his nephew Xie Kun likes to gamble, he put Xie Kun in as soon as he used tricks.In order to pay off his gambling debts, Xie Kun resold military funds.

I wanted to use Xie Kun to threaten Xie Zhiliang, but Xie Zhiliang directly beheaded Xie Kun with military law, and now there is no other way.

Like Cheng Shijie, Xie Zhiliang was also a senior official of the Ming army. His grandfather Xie Yingjun served as the chief commander of Pingyuan County (a military post) during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.

Xie Zhiliang was intelligent and intelligent since he was a child. He was influenced by the generals of the two generations.At the beginning, he joined Cai Yanzi, a famous general in his hometown, and was promoted to the general of Shizhengying in Pingyuan County because of his meritorious service in annihilating the fifth general.In order to defend Youfang, he was transferred to Zhelin, Chaozhou, for defense.Then, with the ability to defend against the sea and outstanding achievements, he was promoted to the guerrilla camp of the Zhongying by Yuan Jixu, the gate of the Nangan army, and then promoted to the general army of Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi.

In history, Xie Zhiliang has always died in battle with Emperor Longwu.

Of course, although Xie Zhiliang couldn't win him over, he managed to win over his general He Sui. He Sui was Xie Zhiliang's confidant, a fellow from Guangdong, and was deeply trusted by Xie Zhiliang.

He Sui came forward to clear the way with money, and then attracted the commander of Xie Zhiliang's personal soldiers, and violently launched an attack in Taiyuan City. Xie Zhiliang was unprepared for his confidant to do something. In a hurry, He Sui shot him in the abdomen with a pistol, seriously injured and unconscious. Xie Zhiliang's son, Xie Shangkui, led his personal guard to rescue the seriously injured Xie Zhiliang, but Taiyuan City was lost.

Wu Zongda said excitedly: "The important town of Taiyuan is lost, and the trouble is serious. Cheng Shijie can't afford it now!"

Wang Yingxiong murmured: "I'm afraid the emperor is still protecting that martial artist!"

Wu Zongda sneered all over his face: "I will wait until the officials impeach me, I won't believe it anymore, the emperor will ignore the advice of all officials for the sake of a sycophant!"
