Chapter 051: Agreed to send troops
Defeat Xin Ai can't let others interfere?
Although Hannaji has always reacted unhappily, he understands this time.
Because only by defeating Xin Ai on his own can he prove that he is capable of being the Chechen Khan of Tumut. And the meaning of "on his own" does not mean that he cannot have helpers, but that he cannot have helpers other than Tumut.
If you think about it backwards, it will be said that Chataiji thinks that this matter cannot be interfered with by Ordos Wanhu, and it is even better not to let Qinghai Tumut interfere, but to deal with it by himself in the Tumut headquarters.
Since Ordos Wanhu can't interfere, then obviously Daming can't interfere either, this is what Chataiji wants to express, but he didn't say it directly.
Hannaji doesn't have any opinion on this, after all, defeating Xin Ai, judging from the current strength comparison, there really shouldn't be any problem.
Besides, how did Da Ming make a move?
To fight Xin Ai's distance, for the Ming Dynasty is completely an "expedition", and Xin Ai's department is the least sinicized faction in Tumut's headquarters, not to mention compared with Hannaji, who has a big board to ascend to the city, or compared with Zhongjin Hatun, who has a naturalized city, even if it is much worse than Chataiji's vote Taiji-people Chataiji still have a detachment from the city.
That shows that Xin Ai's command is basically all the kind of nomadic tribe that can migrate away at any time, and the soldiers under his command are all cavalry, just those infantry in the Ming Dynasty, can't they only follow Xin Ai and eat farts when they come to the grassland?
If it was like a few years ago, when Ma Fang was still relatively active, the three towns of Xuanda could still make up 20,000 cavalry to fight, now, although they buy a lot of horses every year, the cavalry not only does not increase, but even decreases...... I heard that the cavalry is basically maintained with Li Chengliang, right? Then it's a ghost, can Li Chengliang fly over with 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry from Liaodong? Even if he could, wouldn't Daming want Liaodong?
Let's just put it this way, with the current situation, if Li Chengliang's 30,000 or 40,000 cavalry dares to move westward, Liaodong will be a complete sieve, Tumen Khan can fight wherever he wants, and no one in Liaodong can stop him.
After all, the current Liaodong relies on Li Chengliang and his cavalry to support the scene - Liaodong is far away from the Beijing Division, and its awareness of repairing the city wall is not as good as Qi Jiguang who guards the north gate and the east gate of the Beijing Division, without that cavalry, the Mongols will be able to walk sideways immediately.
You must know that in history, Liaodong overhauled the city defense, which was already a matter of Sun Chengzong's period, and at most it was a small repair and a small repair, because Li Chengliang felt that the credit for defending the city was really not enough, he preferred to go out to catch the head and invest all the money in the cavalry.
Therefore, even if Da Ming wants to help, he shouldn't be able to help much.
Who knew that he just wanted to agree, but he heard Gao Pragmatic interject coldly: "I think it is necessary for Da Ming to show his face in this matter." ”
Hannaji, Zhongjin Hatun and Chataiji were all stunned, and Chataiji frowned and said, "Why? ”
"Don't worry about getting rid of it, Da Ming is just showing up, not to share the credit...... Da Ming showed his face and attacked Xin Ai at the same time as Dacheng Taiji, which could make East and West Ordos dare not have different thoughts. ”
This reason is very simple, Chataiji can figure it out without his explanation, but he still frowns a little: "But how can Daming send troops?" Now that the soldiers are fast, since we are going to hold a conference in the whole of Mongolia, it will definitely alarm the Tumen, and we must defeat Xin Ai before that. And if Da Ming intervenes now...... With the habit of the Ming Dynasty, it is very troublesome to send troops or something, and when the time comes, it will be detected by Xin Ai and others, and the military plane will be delayed. ”
You just said that the preparation time for the Ming army was too long, and I didn't know it.
Gao Pragmatic smiled: "There is no need to prepare much this time, there are 5,000 cavalry under his command, leaving 1,000 as the Qin envoy's guard, and the rest are sent out, just go out with Brother Naji and Tokhtoku to fight Xinai." ”
Hannaji was overjoyed when he heard this.
Gao Pragmatic only left a thousand people, that is either to leave Ma Gui's soldiers, or to leave the Beijing cavalry, it is unlikely that a thousand people will be drawn from his horsemen to stay.
For Jinghua's horsemen, Hannaji has some understanding, the combat effectiveness is definitely not bad, and the weapons are very good, not only the knife is good, the bow and arrow are not bad, and even equipped with firearms - this point Hannaji is not very understandable, firearms are not very easy to use on horseback, not to mention anything else, just igniting the fire is a big trouble, let alone reloading and loading.
Chataiji couldn't help but ask: "The thousand left behind are ......"
"The cavalry of the Beijing camp stayed, if these people are lost, I can't explain it very well." Gao pragmatically smiled and said self-deprecatingly.
Of course, the three in front of him will not misunderstand, Gao Pragmatic is not so much afraid that he will not be able to explain, but rather that he looks down on their combat effectiveness, and is worried that they will embarrass Daming.
That is to say, Gao Pragmatic invested 4,000 Jiading - this is not weak, in the normal situation of this era, the 4,000 cavalry of the Ming Dynasty, when there is little difference in the ability and prestige of the generals of the two sides, it is not difficult to win the Mongolian cavalry with the same strength.
This is not to say that the Mongolian cavalry is not good, but the families of the Ming Dynasty are the core of the battlefield, and they are carefully selected to eat and drink, but they are also strict in peacetime, and they are really effective "troops".
What about Mongolia? Don't look at them talking about it now, as if Tumut can pull out 100,000 elite cavalry at any time, but in fact, more than 20,000 of these "100,000 elite cavalry" are basically professional cavalry, and the rest are subordinates who can be summoned at any time.
It's just that the special situation of Mongolia makes his cavalry not need too much training, and the herdsmen are cavalry as long as they are armed and mounted on horses.
Therefore, Gao Pragmatic opened his mouth and sent 4,000 family members to them to use, which is not small, because family members are elite.
Although Gao Pragmatic has made it clear that they are just going to show their faces, and they will not necessarily go out to fight, but the war is also about momentum, with four more elite horsemen, even if they are just pressing the formation, not only will the other party have to guard against it, but their own side will also feel much more at ease.
So Chataiji agreed at that time, and said, "In that case, Tokhtakh thanks to the envoy for his kindness." ”
Han Naji also immediately said: "Brother Gao, I really don't know how to thank you, in short, Naji will never forget this friendship." ”
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "This matter is settled, and there is one more thing, Da Ming may be able to help a little." ”
"Brother Gao, please speak, Naji listens."
Gao pragmatic said: "I can send a letter to Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang and others, and ask them to allocate materials with great fanfare and prepare for the expedition." ”
"Oh...... Is this a deterrent? "It seems that Hannaji is just a little slower, but not really stupid.
Gao pragmatically said: "Yes, the bigger the two of them move in Jiliao, the more the Tumen dare not act rashly, in this way, they may be able to buy a little more time for Tumut to solve Xin Ai." ”
Thank you Hannaji again.
Gao Pragmatic glanced around at the three of them again and asked, "So, now might as well discuss the transfer of troops for this time?" Brother Naji, Princess Zhongjin still has a lot of trouble, how many soldiers and horses do you plan to send? ”
This brings to the key point, the three of them first glanced at each other, and then Chataiji opened his mouth first, and said calmly: "I can do it, all six thousand cavalry are out." ”
Gao Pragmatic listened to it with some admiration, this person really dared to bet with all his strength once he made up his mind, and it was really not those wall grasses that could be compared, it seems that people can mix to this point, it is really not just by force, after all, a person can fight again, how many can he fight? Dozens? You can't really ride a thousand, right? This is not a game again, the full level slaughter of the novice village.
As soon as he said this, Han Naji suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "I can send out 30,000 elite horsemen, leaving about 10,000 to guard Dabansheng City and protect the safety of Brother Gao." ”
This is also a reason, after all, the Mongols are all cavalry in the war, in case they go out and don't find Xin Ai, let Xin Ai kill directly to Dabansheng City, and Dabansheng City has no one to defend, then it will be a big cake.
Da Ban Shengcheng is lost, as long as Hannaji's strength is still there, he can still take it back, but if he is trapped here, the joke will be big. Especially now that he is clearly supporting Hannaji, if he is captured by Xin Ai...... This Xin Ai himself is also a reckless man, and it is not impossible to kill him directly in a fit of anger to sacrifice the flag.
Zhong Jin Hatun's face was calm, and he said: "Then, the royal court will pay 10,000 here, and the rest will be left to guard the naturalization city." Then he added: "These 10,000 are elites." The elite in her mouth, that is, the warrior directly under me back then, that is the real elite.
Gao Pragmatic breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart that it was okay, these three still knew the importance and didn't play any tricks.
But he thought about it again, and suddenly added: "No, we have forgotten a force. ”
Hannaji was slightly stunned and surprised: "How come? ”
Gao pragmatic said: "Please ask Princess Zhongjin to issue an order in the name of temporary regent with the seal of the king of Shunyi, and the other Taiji capitals of the Tumut Department will send troops together...... Well, in addition to the regent's order, this order also asks Brother Naji and Tokhtar to sign it. ”
Chataiji now understood quickly, this is to let the other Taiji, large and small, know that the three of them have united, if they are smart, they will send someone to hurry up and show their loyalty to the new Great Khan.
Zhong Jin Hatun also felt that it was right to do this, and smiled: "Good plan, just do it." ”
Of course, she was satisfied, because in this way, at least before the Kuritai Assembly was convened and a new Great Khan was elected, her regent would have the possibility of joining forces with Hannaji and Chataiji to endorse her, and even add the Great Ming.
Hannaji was also very satisfied, and responded with a smile. Only Chataiji thought for a moment and said: "It's good, but they are different from me, even if the Great Khan wanted to mobilize them in the past, they had to be rewarded, and now they have changed the three of us......"
Well, that means that I'm afraid I'm going to have to promise more "rewards", after all, they don't have enough prestige when they are together.
Then how to get this "profit" out, it has to be distributed again, but this has nothing to do with Chataiji, his own participation is for the sake of the entire Tumut, and he didn't say that he wants to get any benefits in this big event, so he can't be allowed to give him a share.
The advantage is to put Hannaji and Chungjin Hatun - one of them can be the Great Khan, and the other can win the love of his son, of course, they should be responsible.
After all, Hannaji was a man, and felt that he should be mainly responsible for this matter, so he said: "I will arrange this reward, and it will be half higher than the original reward of Ebug, and it will all belong to me." ”
Ebug is the Mongolian word for "grandfather", which means that I answer.
Zhong Jin Hatun is very satisfied, because in her opinion, this matter should have been the responsibility of you, the Great Khan, and besides, you have one son, Zhong Jin, I have three, not to mention that you are the richest.
But Han Naji suddenly remembered one thing, since he wanted to give money to those Taiji troops, what about Gao Shishi's side of the 4,000 elites, do you want to give money too?
At that time, he was a little hesitant and glanced at Gao Shipra.
Gao Pragmatic and other people naturally understood what he meant at once, and immediately waved his hand and said: "Brother Naji on my side doesn't have to think about it, even if I want to give a reward, I will pay for it myself, and I won't spend money on Brother Naji." ”
In fact, Gao Pragmatic just didn't take the Mongolian reward seriously, because according to Mongolian customs, the reward is relatively limited, and ordinary soldiers can get a sheep even if they are quite a heavy reward, in fact, they can only share a leg of mutton......
This is not a joke, many herdsmen in Mongolia are equivalent to serfs, and helping the lord to fight is voluntary labor, and it is already a great gift to be able to give a leg of mutton.
This time, the Taiji who they were able to recruit and transfer brought more than 10,000 cavalry at most, and he was counted as 20,000 at the top of the sky, and a sheep was only four or five taels of silver, which was usually divided by several people, and the money was estimated to be less than 20,000 taels.
And if according to this standard, he is only 4,000 people on his side, and if he can't do it, he will send it away for 3,000 taels of silver, then it is better not to do it, so as not to owe personal favors.
Han Naji is actually not very distressed about the thousands of taels of silver, he is now the richest man in Mongolia, but Gao Pragmatic is willing to spend his own money to help him, which still makes him very moved, and he feels that "Brother Gao" is really good to him, so he is full of gratitude.
At this point, the matter is almost discussed, and now it is only a matter of the timing of the troops.
Cha Taiji said: "If you want to fight, you have to be fast, it's best to start fighting before Xin Ai doesn't know our decision, as for the matter of the envoy asking Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang and others to deter the Tumen, anyway, the Tumen are far away, and now the envoy is sending people to send letters to Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, so that they can get ready, I think the time is exactly the same." ”
Hannaji thought for a moment and said, "It won't take long for me to gather people here, but it will only be a matter of a day or two, and Uncle Tokhta's men and horses have already been brought, so it will be more convenient." Zhongjin Hatun, how long will it take for you to be there? ”
Although he was already preparing to marry Zhongjin Hatun under Gao Pragmatic's secret tandem, after all, this matter has not been done yet, so he should still be called Hatun like this.
Zhong Jin Hatun thought for a while, and replied: "I think that if this is not the case, I will immediately return to Huahua to mobilize people, and after the mobilization of people and horses on Dacheng Taiji's side is completed, I will come to naturalize with Chataiji, and then the army will gather, and you can directly take Xin Ai - anyway, Xin Ai is in the east, and it is just right for you to go to naturalize first." ”
Glancing at Hannaji and Chataiji, they both said that it was so good.
