Chapter 150: Breaking the Cauldron and Sinking the Boat

After eating the wine and meat, this brocade guard clasped his hands together, and suddenly looked solemn, it would be better if he could wipe the oil and water off the corners of his mouth, and said: "General Fan, let the old man find it easy." ”

This era is naturally limited, and there is no way.

Even if there is information, it is difficult to pass on information.

In the internal controversy of the Gelug sect, there are various opinions.

However, most people do not want to surrender to the Heshute Ministry, not because they have any hatred with the Heshute Ministry, but because the Gelug sect is a rising star, it is excluded by other sects in Tibet, and special attention is paid to the development of foreign missionary work.

It is also to strive for more living space for the Gelug faction. After all, there are many Tibetans in the Gannan area.

Because of this, the Gelugpa will understand the strength of the Ming Dynasty. Even if the Heshute Department is strong now, they also want to see how the Heshute Department will react after Daming is gone.

Of course, if it is determined that the Ming will not end, then the Gelug faction will naturally surrender to the Heshute Department, but it will be sooner or later.

Because it is because of the Gelug sect, the Ming brocade guards can miserably enter the Gelug faction. The other factions are not without people, but they are all minions.

He was the only one who made it to the Gelug decision-making level.

This time, he was unanimously pushed out by the Gelug faction to report to the Ming Dynasty. If the pressure on the Heshute Department is really great, the Gelug faction will not resist, but it must leave a way back.

That's him.

It's just that they don't know that they keep this behind. He is a person who is a brocade guard.

After he finished speaking, he said: "General Fan, I can take charge of the Gelug faction and ask the army to go to the Gelug faction's territory for a temporary rest first, and then it's not too late to calculate." ”

Fan Guang pondered for a moment and said, "Please send a guide to lead us to Jalan Sa." ”

"General, no." He Yong said: "Listen to him, where is not only the main force of the Heshuo Special Division, but also I don't know how many Tibetans are there. But more than 10,000 of us will only fall into a heavy siege. ”

"Now the brothers are tired, and it's time to rest."

The Mongols under the command of Heyong are also able to endure hardships, and now some of them can't stand it.

When the Ming army set out, there were more than 10,000 people, but now there are only about 8,000 soldiers left. Hundreds of people have become signposts on the Qinghai-Tibet Heavenly Road.

But more breathlessly, a little barely walking, let alone fighting.

It can't be counted as combat effectiveness at all.

There are 8,000 people with combat effectiveness, which is actually a very high percentage. This is still carefully selected before entering the war, otherwise the non-combat attrition will only be more and not less.

Fan Guang said calmly: "I know, but."

This is our only chance. ”

"I know, now the soldiers are extremely tired, but this kind of exhaustion is difficult to recover in a short time, even if there is a Gelug faction to respond, but how many manpower and material resources does the Gelug faction have, can it support the army?"

"But I'm afraid that the more you cultivate, the worse your state will be."

"It's always that we underestimate this path."

Fan Guang said this, closed his eyes slightly, and only felt as if a large stone was pressed in his chest. There was foam on his lips.

Even a fierce general like Fan Guang, who can rush into battle, can't withstand the altitude sickness on the plateau a little.

At the moment, he seems to be fine, but in fact, he is tormented by qi disease all the time.

Fan Guang also knew that his situation could not be said to be widespread in the army, but there were quite a few of them. Will this situation get better over time? Or if it has become bad, Fan Guang doesn't know.

It's just that he's going to make the worst choice.

Fan Guang continued: "You also listened, when the Heshuo Special Department just arrived in Tibet, they first sat back and watched the battle between the Zhupa and Zhupa, thinking that it was not that they didn't want to attack, but that they were also affected by the qi disease. ”

"So, don't think too hard about Heshuote. Now we are certainly not at our best, and the Heshuo Department is, although they have been here for a year. ”

Fan Guang didn't know if he could adapt to altitude sickness in a year, but he wanted to stir up this breath.

He turned around and asked the Jinyi guard of the Gelug sect and said, "If we suddenly appear to Jassa, what will the Tibetan factions do?" ”

"Probably from the wall." He said honestly.

Speaking of which, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and all the factions in Tibet is good, and the leaders of the various factions in Tibet have the title of Dharma King named by the Ming Dynasty.

Da Ming is also a good master.

Diplomacy adheres to the principle of thick exchanges.

As long as you come to pay tribute, generally speaking, you will not get cheap with your subject country. Although Zhu Qizhen regards tribute more as a ceremonial thing, Zhu Qizhen has given a fixed number of tributes for each country, although it will also give back several times, but this loss is much smaller.

Diplomatic matters should not only be counted as economic battles, but also political battles.

If Zhu Qizhen had no intention of expanding abroad, this amount of money might have been spent a little, but Zhu Qizhen had great ambitions in his heart, so he was naturally willing to use a sum of money to buy a country's goodwill.

Not to mention, after limiting the total amount, you can't actually lose much money, after all, where can you engage in diplomacy without spending money.

As for the quota, let them buy and sell for themselves.

In fact, this system was not formulated by Zhu Qizhen at the beginning, but when dealing with the tile spurs, the Ministry of Rites had no teacher. After all, the tile spur paid a large tribute, and the number of goods was too much, so it seemed that the Ming Dynasty was wronged.

So, the Ministry of Rites only took one and let the tile spur put himself below

Sold in Beijing.

was attacked by Zhu Qizhen and added a little private goods, which became a new regulation of the Ministry of Rites. And on the whole, trade is profitable for both countries.

It's nothing more than a matter of earning more and earning less.

The good boss of the Ming Dynasty, who never exploits the subject country, does not interfere in internal affairs, and pays back money, is still more nostalgic for the people in Tibet.

Although the Ming had few soldiers, they were unwilling to follow the Heshuo Special Department to fight against the Ming. Because many people know that the current Ming Emperor is particularly vengeful.

Because of the battle of Maoerzhuang, how many years have passed, and the tile has been assassinated to the Western Regions, and there is still no intention of stopping.

Of course, they will not be loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and there is a high possibility of surrendering to the victor.

Fan Guang looked at He Yong with red eyes, and said: "There are only forty or fifty thousand cavalry in Heshuote, and there is still a little garrison in other places, that is, their manpower in the Jokhang Temple, but more than 30,000, and our army is more than 10,000, with one enemy and three, it is not the elite of the tile thorn, do you think it can't be won?" ”

He Yong looked at the equipment on his body, the long knives and short guns of each cavalry, and the weapons of this and that, but the quality was still above the quantity, all above the various departments of the tile spurs, and even higher than the Heshuo special department.

If it is above the flat ground, with one dozen three, He Yong will not hesitate a little.

After all, this army can be regarded as carefully selected among the northwestern departments.

It's just that now, in the environment of Tibet, what kind of fight can be made, He Yong has no bottom in his heart, but he looks at Fan Guang's expression, and he has no possibility of refusing.

Fan Guang is like a gambler at the moment, losing all his chips, just waiting for the last fight to turn the tables.

He Yong suddenly woke up, in fact, isn't this the situation of the army now?

Everyone underestimates Tibet's extreme climate and environment.

After marching for more than a month, the morale of the Ming army had long been depressed to the extreme, and now there was still some joy at the destination.

Can support morale.

But in the end, if it is not possible to solve the Heshute Department as soon as possible.

After a long time, it is difficult to say what will happen to this army if it is spent in Tibet.

Maybe Tibet isn't terrible.

However, in the Ming army, this kind of Tibetan march and expeditionary experience was too scarce.

It's the only way to go.

He Yong said: "The last general will obey the order." ”

"Okay." Fan Guang secretly gritted his teeth and said loudly: "Pass the order, bring five days of food, and go to Jalan Sa." Fight a decisive battle with the Heshute Division, and the rest of the baggage will be discarded on the spot. ”

Fan Guang has always been relatively calm and a relatively honest person, but the harsh environment in Tibet has forced this honest man to be anxious. can only break the cauldron and fight happily.

Or die a happy death.
