Chapter 154: First also

From the ancient city of Kaiping to the north, it is endless yellow sand.

This long stretch of yellow sand divides the grassland into desert south and desert north.

This desert is the Gobi Desert, the second largest desert in Asia and the fifth largest desert in the world, including part of Inner Mongolia and a large part of southern Mongolia.

It is this desert with a radius of 1.2 million square kilometers that divides Mongolia into the south and the north.

The defense line in the Yongle period directly approached the border line of the Ming Dynasty to the southern edge of the Gobi Desert.

This Gobi Desert is also the source of sandstorms in Beijing. But in general, there are mostly bare rocks in the Gobi, and there are relatively few deserts.

This is the desert in the mouth of I don't know how many literati. It is also a nightmare for I don't know how many Han generals in the Central Plains.

After crossing hundreds of miles of desert, it is Mobei.

And Mobei is the world of tile thorns.

The Lingbei Province of the Yuan Dynasty was the foundation of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but now it is the basic plate of the Tile Spur, and even after the death of the first in history, after the collapse of the hegemony of the Tile Spur, it still maintained the rule of Mobei for decades. Knowing that the Golden Family Dayan Khan rose up again and defeated the Tile Thorn, he recaptured Mobei.

This is why Dayan Khan is the head of the Golden Family.

In the northern tent of the Tile Spur Desert.

Tokhtar Buhua is sitting upright, and next to him is Tokhoff Buhua's younger brother, Dorji. In addition to this younger brother in the big tent, there is no more intimate person in the big tent.

The rest of the people are all Tile Thorn nobles.

The forty-year-old also first, just sat on the detachment without spending his hands. But in his posture, he was calm, as if he was the owner of this big tent.

The rest of the tile spur generals, such as Yexian's henchman generals, A-assassin Zhiyuan and others, all sat honestly.

Of course, their honesty is completely different from that of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty did not care about civil and military affairs, and the sitting posture in front of the emperor was completely standard, and he did not dare to go beyond the slightest, but the political tradition of the Mongols was much worse.

Each of these Mongolian nobles had soldiers and horses, some sat cross-legged, some supported the ground with one hand, and they used any kind of sitting posture. Each of them had a small number in front of them, and it was all roasted meat, but tender lamb, which tasted so good that they seemed to be ready to eat with a knife. But the ears are all on the dialogue with the detachment first.

Totobuhua asked: "Taishi, this time the Ming people sent Yang Hong to the north. Did the Master just let them go back? ”

He also touched his Mongolian mustache slightly, and said, "What does the Great Khan mean is to start a war with the Ming Dynasty today?" ”

Totobuhua said: "Where is the Taishi, but this is not in line with the Taishi's ordinary ambitions?" ”

also laughed first, and said: "Great Khan, you don't know, this king naturally has to go south to support the Great Khan into the capital and take the south."

The flowers and rivers of the dynasty are just priorities. ”

"After the Yongle Emperor of the Southern Dynasty went, he was even the third emperor of Yi for more than ten years, and now he is just a little doll in power, just the daughter-in-law of the Yongle Emperor, but not a vegetarian, and the famous generals of the Southern Dynasty are Zhang Fuzai."

"The Great Khan also came out of the Southern Dynasty, and the Great Khan also knew what the strength of the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty was. The strength of the soldiers and horses of the Southern Dynasty is still there, but it is not as good as a day, as long as those veterans are dead, the Southern Dynasty is a soft persimmon. ”

"And the Southern Dynasty with a country of one million, my Dayuan 440,000 households, is indeed a little weaker, we must first take the Western Regions, across Liaodong, when the time comes, Chagatai, Wuliangha for the left and right wings, our army from Datong into the pass, straight to the capital. That's when the hands come in. ”

"Before you do it again, let him go. Let them despise my Dayuan as much as possible, and in the end, it is best to let the army of the Southern Dynasty go out of the fortress and win a decisive victory in Mobei. ”

"Therefore, when Yang Hong is here, not only can we not move, but we also have to send people to send some gifts to show our reverence for the imperial court."

Totoku Buhua smiled and said, "The master is wise. ”

I don't spend it, but my heart is full of taste.

Sitting in his position, I look at it every day, and I have a feeling of being sharp on my back. But even if he has a lot of subordinates, it is too far from Yexian. His life has always been under the threat of Yesen.

He also had to show respect to Yexian, and the bitterness in his heart can be imagined.

As soon as Tokhtar said this, the other Mongolian nobles in the big tent said: "The master is wise. ”

Ye Xian's face remained unchanged, eating the meat slowly, the hand knife in his hand slowly exerted force, and coughed slightly. Immediately there was silence in the tent.

also said first: "Yang Hong's matter is a small matter, but there is a big event in front of me, this year my marriage with Wuliangha has been completed, and there is no threat in the Northeast, and Hami and other departments are my old in-laws, but now they are unwilling to surrender to me." It's so hateful that I've made up my mind to send troops next year to conquer Hami. And when you have returned, you shall assemble your troops and horses and go on the march. ”

"Yes." The Mongolian nobles in the big tent said in unison.

Immediately, as if he remembered something, he said to Tokhovunhua: "What does the Great Khan think? ”

What else can you say if you don't take off or spend? He could only say, "Very good, very good." ”

He also nailed the untieth knife in his hand to the mutton with his backhand, along with the mutton and the wooden plate, and nailed them to the following cases. said: "Since the Great Khan has decided, let's follow this king to see the battle formation." ”

Naturally, I don't dare to refuse.

He also laughed a few times and left with the people around him.

Totobuhua's face changed slightly, and when he saw that there was no one around, he called his younger brother Dorji over and said, "Tell Mingren that the first target is Kansai Qiwei."

。 ”

"Yes." Dorzi said.

After thinking about it, he called Dorji and said, "Forget it, you don't need to tell Mingren." ”

Dorji was a little strange and said, "Brother, why? ”

Totobuhua said: "If the Ming people don't suffer some hardships, they won't know how powerful they are, and if they don't know how powerful they are, they won't support our brothers." ”

"The Battle of the Seven Guards of Kansai."

"I hope that Mingren has lost badly enough, and the worse the better."

A war is brewing in the steppe. But this one has nothing to do with Yang Hong.

Yang Hong repaired in Kaiping for two days, and then headed southeast. This direction is to Daningwei. The further southeast you go, the more uneven the terrain becomes.

This area is the southern edge of the desert. The mountain is not high. But it's enough to block the wind and sand, otherwise this would be part of the desert.

Halfway through, Yang Hong met the messenger of the tile thorn and contributed thirty sheep.

Of course, it doesn't matter if there are 30 sheep, what is always needed is the attitude of the thorns.

Although Yang Hong did not let his guard down, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. But then he has to face a new enemy, because Daning is different from Kaiping.

Kaiping's abandonment was during the Xuande period, only a dozen years ago, and Daning's abandonment can be traced back to the Battle of Jingyan. Some people say that Wuliang Ha Sanwei is difficult to Jing from Taizong, and he is rewarded with Daning.

This is nonsense.

Although the Gain court did not rebuild the Daningwei later, the Mongols were never allowed to graze in the Daningwei area. But now, it has become a reality.

If you say that the Kaiping area has become a grazing land for tile thorns. Then the Daning area became the grazing land of Uliangha.

And unlike the tile spur, the tile spur has Mobei, and the room for maneuver is quite large, and the piece of Mo Nan is temporarily out of the way, so let go.

But although Wuliangha also has other room for maneuver, the horse farm in the area of Daningwei is not something they can give up easily.

Therefore, Yang Hong found that the closer he was to Daningwei, the more he would meet the Mongols.

Of course, not the Mongolian shepherds.

First of all, the Mongols are all sick, and when you meet Mongolian herdsmen, they are not much different from Mongolian soldiers. Even by the clothes alone, you can't tell the difference between Mongolian herdsmen and Mongolian soldiers.

It's all the same dirty, black, greasy, and smelly. This seems to be the reason for not bathing all year round, so the Han people call it Sao Tartar.

They appeared around the army in an organized and organized manner, and although they did not dare to make contact with the army, this attitude of being detached can actually be regarded as an encounter in military terms.

For a while, the whole army focused their eyes on Yang Hong.
