Traveling through the Ming Dynasty, as soon as you open your eyes, you will die

Judging from Wu Sangui's entire life, his political height was seriously lacking.

For example, he first led the Qing army into the invasion, with the slogan of revenge for Emperor Chongzhen. At that time, it received approval and support from a group of Han people.

For this reason, the naive Shi Kefa naively wanted to unite with the Manchus to deal with the rogue bandits.

However, when attacking Nanming, Wu Sangui abandoned his slogan and attacked more ruthlessly than anyone else. He also personally strangled the Ming Dynasty's orthodoxy to the emperor and destroyed the Ming Dynasty with his own hands. This made all the Han people disappointed in him and ranked him as the number one traitor.

After he killed Emperor Yongli, he became the public enemy of the Han people in the world.

However, during the Third Rebellion, he foolishly once again raised the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. Not only did this not elicit a response from the Han people, but it made everyone in the world think that he was a capricious villain.

Not only did no one among the Han people support him, but even the Manchus scorned him.

If during the Third Rebellion, instead of raising the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, he had directly said that he wanted to be emperor, it would have been more beneficial to him than if he had raised this banner.

In this debate between the three people, it has been seen that Wu Sangui is quite capable tactically, but strategically and politically, he is simply mentally retarded.

Ten thousand tactical victories cannot reverse a strategic failure; and ten thousand strategic failures cannot reverse a victory in moral justice.

The fundamental reason why Liu Bei was defeated repeatedly in battles, but finally established the Shu Han and formed the Three Kingdoms, is that he occupied the absolute commanding heights of morality.

After listening to Zhang Huangyan's words, Lu Mou suddenly understood: "Master Zhang is right, we must occupy the moral high ground. For this reason, we will not hesitate to be attacked by the Qing Dynasty and delay the restoration of the northwest. We will enter the grassland, fight against Mongolia, and intercept the bandits." .Even if we are unable to capture Yuan Zongdi, we must save our 500,000 Han people. Let the whole world see that although I, the regent, am not a saint, I am a pure Han nationalist. "

Following Lu Mou's order, Yang Songshan was left to continue to form a reserve army, and Liu Mao was ordered to march into Taiyuan and fly back to Jian. The entire army, with 160,000 infantry and cavalry, marched into the grassland again.

Turghut Khan of the Qing Dynasty, now the prince of the Qing Dynasty, Duolun, was shocked when he received the news that an army of 500,000 rogue bandits had entered the grassland. He really couldn't understand that our Qing Dynasty and you Dashun, the river water does not interfere with the well water, eight poles can't reach it. There is also our common enemy Daming. For this reason, when you occupied the northwest and the Great Wall was undefended and useless, our late emperor and current regent repeatedly emphasized that we must not take advantage of you and maintain peaceful relations.

Why did you suddenly use troops against me, sending 500,000 troops at a time?

What are you going to do, are you going to destroy my tribe? The Torgut tribe is a large tribe. We occupy the entire Simon region and have a population of more than five million. Do you have such a good appetite?

Since a large army has invaded the country, it must be annihilated.

Standing at the entrance of the big tent, he loudly ordered to the soldiers guarding the royal court: "Issue a wild grass order to all the tribesmen who stayed in the south. Immediately recruit all the men of the tribe and gather at Shan Yuting."

Following the order, countless soldiers immediately galloped around.

The Wild Grass Order is the highest level mobilization order on the grassland. It is not an ordinary grass circle, but has a yellow silk tied on it, which represents the dignity of the Yellow Sect. Huang Ling does not represent the mercy of the Buddha, but represents the need for believers to exorcise demons for the Buddha.

That’s why it’s also called an exorcism order.

As soon as this order comes out, all men between the ages of fifteen and fifty must enlist in the army to fight.

Otherwise, the Lord Buddha will bring disasters to you, for example, the smallest one is giving you a headache, and so on.

As for not accepting you to be reborn in bliss, we don’t know whether this is true or not. Anyway, no one has tried it, and no one dares to try it.

A lonely yurt stood on the grassland, and a group of galloping horses galloped past. The people on the horses held the grass circle high and shouted: "Gather to Shan Yuting -" and then galloped non-stop into the distance. Lao Eji got out of the yurt, looked at the grass circle in the hands of the rider in the distance, and the yellow ribbon flying on it, turned around to greet his two sons, and then told his thirteen-year-old son: "I will leave the wolves to you, we will Enlisted."

Then without hesitation, he mounted the best war horse, held a scimitar, took his two sons, and galloped towards Shan Yuting.

Along the way, warriors kept coming from the depths of the grassland, joined together, and continued to move forward. The closer you get to Shan Yuting, the more people and horses you apply for, and finally you reach Shan Yuting, where there is already a sea of ​​people as far as the eye can see.

He greeted people he knew or didn't know warmly and gathered under the banner of his leader.

Here, there are many comrades who have fought for many years. It is rare for everyone to meet again. They hug each other and say hello. Then they sit on the grass and take out the horse milk wine they carry to drink and reminisce about the past.

The next day, the sun rose in the east of the grassland, and the horn of the assembly sounded. Lao Eji took his son and followed the flag owner's banner closer to the center.

The former Great Khan, now the Prince of the Qing Dynasty, stood on a high place, saying something to the sea of ​​people like the ocean. Of course Lao Eji couldn't hear it.

After a while, the king's flag moved, and his flag owner shouted: "Follow the king's flag and set off."

Groups of soldiers began to move, and eventually merged into a rolling torrent to kill south.

Yuan Zongdi looked at the team with no end in sight and no end in sight. He was full of worry and said to Hao Yaoqi beside him: "We have entered the grassland and may be attacked by Mongolian cavalry at any time. This way of walking is not possible. It is easiest for us to be unable to look at each other from head to tail. We have to form a square defensive formation to be safe."

Hao Yaoqi frowned: "Now, we have entered the grassland for a hundred miles, but the rear end is still far away from the Great Wall Pass. This really doesn't work. We have to let the front ones wait."

Li You was worried: "But this will delay our time. Now, it is best for us to cross Mongolia before the Mongols react."

Yuan Zongdi smiled bitterly: "With so many people and such a large formation, it is impossible not to be noticed by the Mongols. A battle with the Mongols is unavoidable. Therefore, we must set up a defensive formation along the river. Be prepared for the Mongols to cut us into pieces and defeat them one by one."

"I said to Lao Yuan, we'd better leave the old camp behind and let our main force move forward quickly." Hao Yaoqi suggested.

Abandoning the old camp is still a good idea. I remember that Hao Yaoqi killed his wife and son during the battle in Nanyuan.

Yuan Zongdi shook his head firmly: "No, these are our relatives. Once we abandon them, they will all become the victims of the Mongols. If we bring them out, we must protect them."

"But--"

"If we abandon them, our military morale will be in chaos in an instant, and we ourselves will be defeated without a fight."

You have no human nature to kill your wife and children, but others are different from you. If you really dare to abandon your family at this time, the soldiers will chop you into pieces in a blink of an eye.

Then he made another excuse: "With these family members following us, the soldiers are still determined to fight for their families."

Although Hao Yaoqi was cruel and ruthless, he was not confused and knew the meaning behind Yuan Zongdi's words. "Okay, brother, I'll listen to you."

Yuan Zongdi sent an order for the leading troops to stop and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive. Two cavalry units of nearly 50,000 were placed in the north to guard against Mongolian raids. Put the remaining infantry into square formations and put them on tight alert. Have all the elm sprays loaded and ready to fire. Faced with a big war that is about to break out, fight to the death.
