I'm a big dick

Chapter 687

For the Ming Empire, the biggest calamity of the catastrophe was the large number of refugees, causing social turmoil, which can also be called domestic conflicts.

The main method to transfer domestic conflicts is foreign wars. Of course, the emperor knows it and is constantly implementing it.

But the benefits of foreign wars are necessary, otherwise, social conflicts will be aggravated and more serious.

As for the war against Huduntu, the emperor delayed it. On the one hand, he wanted to take the opportunity to subdue the right-wing Mongolian tribes, and on the other hand, he did not want to bear the burden too early.

That's right, if the nomads could survive by eating cattle and sheep during the catastrophe, they wouldn't starve to death so many people in history after Chongzhen cut off the market rewards.

In other words, after conquering the Mongolian tribes, the imperial court will take responsibility for these Ming people, such as disaster relief, and the supply of food and materials is not rare.

But choosing this time to subdue the Mongolian tribes is the easiest and the least costly.

The lesser of two evils, the emperor decided to take action after estimating the court's finances to solve Monan Mongolia once and for all.

It will be a matter of time before it collides with Maoziguo, which is rising in the north.The emperor estimated that he would be half a hundred years old, if the Ming army could continue to advance northward.

Therefore, to conquer Monan Mongolia, Moxi Mongolia and Mobei Mongolia.The war in the north alone will last for decades.

Of course, it would be better not to fight every year, and to fight every now and then, with unswerving advancement and management, to push the territory of Ming Dynasty to the north, to the North Pole!
This is not wishful thinking. With the current weapons and equipment and combat power of the Ming army, as long as the logistics can keep up, it will not be a problem to fight all over the world.

The key is the number of people. If it is really organized, millions of troops will be no problem.

Just when the Ming army was ready to take action against Chahar's troops, Huduntu had already entered the right-wing Mongolia without realizing it, and began the great cause of "unification" that the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves.

Huduntu's judgment is not wrong. The right-wing Mongolian tribes enjoying comfort have indeed degenerated more seriously, and they are not at all the opponents of the troops he led.

First, the Harashen tribe stationed in the hometown of Shangdu in Xuanfu was defeated, and then the Tumote tribe in Guihua City. After these two battles, Huduntu's tribe has established a firm foothold on the right wing.

But Huduntu was not satisfied, and continued to attack with troops. Shunyi King Bu Shitu (grandson of Tumet Altan Khan) was defeated again and fled in panic.

Jinong Elinchen, who was stationed in Ordos and managed the right wing on behalf of the Great Khan, was also defeated and abolished by Huduntu.

Successive victories made Huduntu complacent, thinking that his decision to conquer the west was wise and decisive, and the great cause of unifying the tribes of Mongolia had finally seen the light of day.

They are all Mongols, and if they can't beat them, they will take refuge. If Huduntu thinks about it, it should be the best choice.

But what made him feel depressed was that the defeated Harasan, Tumed and other ministries either left Mobei or joined Daming, but none of them surrendered to him.

But in the end, the Western Expedition achieved great results. Huduntu annexed many tribes from various tribes, rested in Guihua City, and sent minister Guiying to demand rewards from the Ming court.

According to the established plan, the generals and officials of Daming Border Town sent Guiying to the capital on the grounds that they did not dare to make their own claims, so let's talk to the emperor!
Temporarily holding Huduntu back with a plan to slow down the troops, Governor Sun Chuanting of the three sides and Governor Xuanda Zhu Tongmeng prepared for the battle intensely. In addition to the well-trained Ming army, they also recruited the defeated troops of Harashen and Tumote to organize a counterattack. Tiger Duntu's Mongolian troops.

The Liaodong War Zone was the first to launch. Yang Guozhu, Kong Youde, and Sun Zushou's three tribes, a total of [-] cavalry, plus [-] naturalized Neikalkha coalition forces, launched an attack on the rest of the Chahar tribe who stayed behind in Liaohetao.

In fact, the westward expedition of Huduntu meant that the Chahar tribe began to disintegrate.Haoqite, Ujumqin, and Sunit Sanotoke, who had long been dissatisfied with him, took the opportunity to go north and defect to Khalkha Shuolei Taiji (Chechen Khan) outside the Mobei.

However, Naiman and Aohan, who stayed in their old places, surrendered and naturalized when they saw the Ming army coming to attack.

So far, Hudun Rabbit has lost its hometown and basis.Although he had basically pacified the right-wing area, he only occupied the Hetao and Tumochuan areas west of Xuanfu, but lost the left-wing area.

"It's finally time to deal with Huduntu, the Mongolian Khan!"

Sitting in the Qianqing Palace, the emperor listened to Xiong Tingbi's report on the preparations of the ministries, and his heart was filled with emotion.

"Governor Zhu Tongmeng of Xuanda reported 4 troops from the various tribes of Mongolia and summoned 3 troops; Governor Sun Chuanting of the three sides reported [-] troops from the various tribes of Mongolia and summoned [-] troops; Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of the Liaodong conquest of Mongolia, reported [-] troops to be recruited. There are a total of [-] Mongolian soldiers..."

Not attached to the nominal Mongolian Khan Huduntu, but surrendered to the Ming court for naturalization, the tribes were also very active in counterattacking the invading Huduntu.

Based on the current figures, there are more than [-] Mongolian soldiers attacking Huduntu.Coupled with the tens of thousands of Ming troops from Sanbian, Xuanda, and Liaodong, Huduntu is no longer an opponent at all.

After Xiong Tingbi finished his report, he bowed and waited for the emperor's decision.

"Now that you are ready, let's start to act!" The emperor's voice echoed in the hall, mature and deep, "I asked the Ministry of Rites to send Guiying away, and Huduntu's thoughts were also eliminated."

After a pause, the emperor continued to add: "It was a long-established plan to lure tigers and rabbits to invade the border, and all the border towns also said that they were fully prepared. If you hurt my Ming people, you will be dereliction of duty. Writing, strictly affirm this point."

"My minister obeys the order." Xiong Tingbi bowed his head, his gray hair was already evident.

The emperor's eyes flashed, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

Yuan Keli, Sun Chengzong and others returned to their hometowns for the elderly, and Xiong Tingbi and others were getting old. Although the officials they relied on changed from generation to generation, they were not as smooth as these veteran officials.

"Defeating Huduntu and conquering the Mongolian tribes, the north should be able to calm down for a few years." The emperor said softly, "Xiong Qing can also take a good rest."

"My minister's muscles and bones are still healthy, thank you for your concern."

Xiong Tingbi bowed to thank him, but he thought in his heart: It's not that the northern nomads don't stop, it's Long Live your will to expand the territory is always there!What's more, the conquests of the navy and army in the north, south, and overseas will not stop.

I also want to take a break, and be a foolish king who eats, drinks and has fun, and hangs around until I die.

However, the national power is so strong, and the military is strong. If we don’t take advantage of this time to expand the territory and strive for more and broader living space for the people of Ming Dynasty, who knows if there will be prodigal sons in the future, and all the painstaking efforts for me will be ruined!

Of course, boom-bust cycles are inevitable.You can save your family property thicker, and there is capital in decline.At least, the people of Ming Dynasty scattered all over the place, and there will always be some places that will continue to be preserved and become the territory of China.
