The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 261 Tatars and Eastern Captives

Dai Xiuyuan hurriedly stood up again, cupped his hands and said, "Please show me the assistant king."

Zhu Linmi waved his hand to let him not be so restrained, and asked him, "Do you know that the Mongolian Sunite tribe wanted to go north to the Khalkha tribe because they were dissatisfied with Jianlu's harsh government?"

Dai Xiuyuan said: "Back to Your Highness, the last general has heard about it.

"Since the 11th year of Chongzhen, Teng Jisi led the Sunite Ministry to attach gold, and the Manchu people treated him very favorably. First, they married the princess to Teng Jisi and married him, and then named him the forehead and the king of the county one after another. It was him Several of his younger brothers were also awarded Baylor, Taiji and other titles.

"However, after Dorgon took over the power to establish the captive dynasty, he thought that the tribes in Monan were no longer to worry about, so he continued to increase the taxes and tributes of the Tumed and Chahar people who belonged to him, attracting all the tribes of Mongolia. Very dissatisfied.

"Among them, Teng Jisi had a grudge against Dorgon when he accompanied the army in the conquest of Mobei in his early years, so the tax and tribute of the Sunite tribe were higher than other tribes in the south of the Mon.

"At the beginning of this year, Khan Shuolei of the Kalkha Chechens in Mobei persuaded Teng Jisi to leave Jianlu and join him instead.

"After Donglu got the news, he immediately appointed Dorgon's younger brother Duoduo as the 'General Yang Wei', and brought tens of thousands of troops from Manchu and Mongolian troops to conquer Sunite."

He thought for a while, and added: "Based on the time, the captive army should have entered Chahar now, and in ten days and a half months, they may confront the Sunite troops."

Zhu Linmei nodded when she heard the words. In the Ming Dynasty when communication was extremely backward, it was extremely rare for Dai Xiuyuan to have such an understanding of the affairs of Mobei.

He asked again: "So what do you think of this battle?"

Dai Xiuyuan pondered for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "His Royal Highness, although this Sunite tribe is one of the 24 tribes in Monan, its entire clan can fight with only a few thousand men. However, the Eastern Prisoners have tens of thousands of heavy troops, and some of them Many Chahar people are very familiar with the terrain.

"That's why the general thought that Teng Jisi would not be able to hold on for long, so he would abandon his weapons and beg for surrender."

This time, Zhu Linmi shook her head slightly. Based on his understanding of this period of history, it was not an easy victory for Jianlu. The Sunite army persisted until nearly four months later, that is, in October, before being defeated.

He then told Dai Xiuyuan about the complicated situation in Mobei, "If it is only the Sunite tribe, then the situation will be as Tingxuan expected. Even stronger, they can only do nothing about it.

"But this time Teng Jisi led the crowd to join Shuo Lei, and the Khalkhas thought that they could take this opportunity to kill the Manchus, hoping that more Mongolian tribes would break away from the Manchus. So they all expressed their support for Sunit department."

In history, it was because of the support of the Tatars in Mobei that Teng Jisi was able to bring tens of thousands of cavalry to deal with Jianlu.Of course, the current Mongols are far from the ferocity of Genghis Khan. Even the entire Tatar tribe went all out, and they only lasted until October before being defeated in front of the captive army led by Doduo.

Although Teng Jisi revived under the instigation of the Khalkhas after Doduo won the class, but the scale was very small, and the trouble continued until the beginning of the next year, when he was finally wiped out completely and became a vassal of Jianlu again.

Of course, he could not "spoiler" these historical events to Dai Xiuyuan, he could only say: "So this time it seems that a Sunite tribe turned their backs to the Tartars, but it was actually a competition between the Mobei Tatars and the Manchus.

"If it was just a matter of Teng Jisi's clan, Dorgon would not have sent tens of thousands of elites. He just wanted to scare the chickens and monkeys, and deter the entire Monan by eradicating the Sunite tribe.

"If Jianlu wins, no Mongolian tribe in Tumed, Ordos, Chahar, Horqin and other places will dare to disobey. The entire Monan will become Jianlu's backyard, not only providing them with a large amount of supplies, There are also tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry called by Dorgon.

"The confluence of Manchuria and Mongolia will have an extremely negative impact on our Ming Dynasty's recovery of the lost land, and at least it will make us pay a greater price in the battle northward."

Although Dai Xiuyuan was surprised that His Royal Highness the Assistant Prince knew so much about the situation in Mobei, but he was more concerned about the situation in the north, so his brows were furrowed and his expression was serious.

"However," Zhu Linmi suddenly changed the subject, "If Jianlu is defeated by Sunite, no, as long as he fails to defeat Teng Jisi, then the influence of the Manchus in Monan will plummet.

"More tribes who are dissatisfied with Jianlu's rule will follow the 'rebellion'. In addition to the Tatars in Mobei, there will be no peace in the northwest direction of Jianlu. You will not be soft when you come.”

Dai Xiuyuan seemed to have thought of something when he heard the words, looked at Zhu Linming and said, "Your Highness is the last general..."

"To tell you the truth, I am going to strongly support Sunit's department. The first batch of military equipment has arrived, and more supplies will be delivered to Teng Jisi in the near future." It is far from enough for Teng Jisi to have the ability to deal with Jianlu.

"The Mongols' tactics are old-fashioned, and they still use Temujin's style of fighting. But Jianlu has been equipped with a large number of firecrackers and cannons, and cooperates with elite heavy infantry. Teng Jisi can't win well in front of them.

"Yes, I plan to let you go to Mobei."

Dai Xiuyuan was surprised: "Could it be that Your Highness asked the last general to help Teng Jisi fight?"

Zhu Linmei nodded and shook her head again, "You don't need to help him fight, and Teng Jisi will definitely not rest assured that you command his troops. You are familiar with the battle formation, and you are very good at making decisions. You only need you to teach him how to drill. At critical moments It is enough to point him out.

"However, this trip needs to go deep into Mobei, and there are many dangers. If you are not careful, maybe..."

Dai Xiuyuan immediately got up and cupped his hands, and said loudly: "If you are loyal to the country, you will not be afraid of life and death in the end! Please tell your Highness, when will you leave?"

"Okay!" Zhu Linmi patted him on the shoulder, "The situation is urgent, it's better to leave early. When you arrive in Mobei, you should be more careful. If you need anything, you can directly contact the profiteer surnamed Liang. You can directly report important matters to me.

"In addition, I give you the right to act cheaply in Mobei."

After that, Zhu Linmi explained in detail some things that need to be paid attention to in Mobei, and told him about all the historical events that were not spoilers, so she was relieved to let him go.

Before leaving the palace study, Dai Xiuyuan suddenly thought of something, turned his head and said: "Your Highness, there is one more thing that I feel is wrong.

"If Teng Jisi is defeated, he may beg for surrender from Jianlu. If he wins, Dorgon will also sue for peace. These two have been fighting outside the Great Wall for hundreds of years. How can we keep them alive?"

Zhu Linmei smiled and said, "Ting Xuan doesn't have to worry about this, they will definitely not make peace this time."

"Why are you so sure, Your Highness?"

"Because I have sent Azig to Teng Jisi..."

……

The south bank of Hulun Lake.

Teng Jisi raised the spirits in his hand, bumped into several brothers, and shouted, "Damn!" He poured the whole bowl of wine into his belly, wiped his mouth vigorously, and laughed, "With Chechen Khan's promise These six thousand elite riders will definitely beat the shit out of the whole people!"
