Chapter 067: The Decisive Battle of Sand City (5)
Buzhhatu said that Tumen Khan failed to understand, what does it mean that "naturalization is only the naturalization of Tumut, and Zhongdu is the Zhongdu of Dayuan"? And what does this have to do with pragmatic ambitions?
Fortunately, Burihatu seemed to see Tumen Khan's incomprehension, so he continued to explain: "To naturalize and canonize the king of Shunyi is at most to recognize the status of Chechen Khan in Tumut, which is to recognize his actual control over the right-wing Mongolia, but if it is in the central capital, it has a deeper intention." β
He paused for a moment and said, "Zhongdu is one of the four capitals of the Great Yuan, except for the Great Yuan Emperor and the Great Khan of the whole Mongolia, how can the Khan of the rest of the tribes be canonized there?" Gao pragmatically deliberately did the opposite, and the real far-reaching purpose was not to imply that Chechen Khan should rule the whole of Mongolia in the future? Is the Great Khan still indifferent to such actions? β
What the! He even wanted to support Tumutcherchen Khan as the Great Khan of all Mongolia?
Tumen Khan suddenly became furious: "Huangkou child, dare to bully me!" β
Burihatu was silent, and the enraged Tumen Khan was tossing and turning in his tent like a trapped beast.
After a while, Tumen Khan suddenly stopped, turned his head to Buri Hatu and said, "Buri Hatu Taiji, do you still think that you should fight the big board to ascend to the city first?" β
Buzhihatu said with some hesitation: "The ministers are still a little hesitant. β
"What's there to hesitate about!" Tumen Khan said loudly: "The Ming people do not take Ben Khan in their eyes so much, if they don't teach them a lesson, where is the majesty of Ben Khan?" According to Ben Khan's idea, he should directly send troops to Shacheng now, and arrest that Gao pragmatic man and divide the body of five horses! If not, it will be hard to eliminate the hatred in my heart! β
Buzhihatu was not frightened by Tumen Khan's anger, but said with a look of embarrassment: "But Shacheng is too close to Zhangjiakou, if the Great Khan sends Shacheng, what if the Ming army goes out?" β
Tumen Khan laughed angrily: "The Ming army is out of the fortress? Ha, Ben Khan wishes they were out of the jam! When it comes to the steppe, Ben Khan will be afraid of the Ming army? This group of Han people, when there is no strong city to rely on, where will there be a war! β
But Buzhhatu was still a little hesitant, and reminded: "But we have analyzed it before, and it is very likely that Hannaji's flight south is to lead us south to set up an ambush, if he cooperates with the Ming army."
Tumen Khan said loudly: "Ambush and ambush, if I don't know, then it's called ambush, I know everything, what else is he setting up?" Besides, no matter how much they set up an ambush on this grassland, can they still surround Ben Khan's 60,000 army? β
Uh, well, it seems to make some sense?
Burihatu thought about it, and even agreed with this statement, and nodded slowly: "That's the reason."
Tumen Khan suddenly waved his hand: "Okay, don't think too much about this matter, Daban Shengcheng is indeed important, but before taking Daban Shengcheng, Ben Khan must first go to meet this Ming people's plenipotentiary envoy to see what kind of champion he is, how many catties and taels he has, and he is so bold!" β
Tumen Khan's current mentality, if it is described by future generations, it is probably "If Lao Tzu doesn't beat you all over the face, you don't know why the flowers are so red!" β
Buri Hatu also felt the anger of the Great Khan from the bottom of his heart, and the Great Khan's words have come to this point, can he no longer persuade you to look down on the elite combat power of my Chahar Department?
Therefore, Burihatu had no choice but to retreat and reluctantly said: "In this case, please also send more scouts when the Great Khan goes south, and be sure to find out the location and bnbs of Hannaji's department in advance, and never give them a back road."
"Ben Khan knows how to fight!" Tumen Khan's temper came up at this time, and any doubt about his strength was like a spark thrown into the oil pot.
Burihatu couldn't but shut up.
There was no point in going on, and BrΓhatu sighed in his heart, and got up to take his leave, and the Tumen were in a fit of rage, and waved his hand to let him go.
At the same time, Gao Shishi, who was in Shacheng, had just returned from inspecting the city defense, and was talking to Cao Gan, Ma Gui and others.
"The method of building a city with cement, I demonstrated it in front of the Queen Mother and the Emperor ten years ago, and now it seems that there has been a slight improvement in the past ten years. This time to strengthen the city defense of Shacheng, although a lot of cement was wasted, but in the past few days, Shacheng is finally not the dilapidated appearance of the ruins and broken walls before. For details, see "Guanjinghua" in Volume 2 of this book, Chapter 101 "Jinghua Infrastructure".
Ma Gui praised: "The method of building a city with cement, we have used it for ten years at the border pass, and we have strengthened the city wall for at least thousands of miles, and the effect has been very good, much better than ramming earth with glutinous rice, which is cheap and strong." Today's actual measurement also confirms this, although the sand city is dilapidated, but after the city wall is reinforced with cement, it is impossible to be attacked head-on unless it is bombarded by hundreds of generals' cannons in turn. β
Hundreds of generals' cannons bombarded in turn, which is obviously an exaggeration, but since the other party is the Mongolian Chahar Department, it doesn't matter if they say so, because they can't have hundreds of generals' cannons. Not to mention them, even with the Ming army's own degree of firearms, it is not easy to concentrate hundreds of general artillery.
Gao pragmatically smiled and didn't say anything.
He is now a "Shangguan", and it doesn't matter if the people below tout it, but he himself can't get carried away.
So he turned his head and praised Cao Ganlai, and said: "I am very satisfied with the performance of Jinghua Trading Company this time, so many materials have been mobilized from Zhangjiakou, and it is not easy to arrange construction, you have worked hard." β
Cao Gan's heart warmed, but his tone was very modest: "The master has won the award, in fact, this is all thanks to the master's good arrangement in advance, especially the choice of this sand city as the main battlefield, it is really a stroke of genius." Although the capital of the Yuan Dynasty was burned down, most of these city walls were finally preserved, and the lord had gathered so many troops here to help with the construction."
Gao pragmatic smiled, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, this time you all have great merit, Cao Gan is my Jinghua internal affairs, but there is a performance comparison reward Ma Zongrong, and your credit will be personally shown to the emperor by the time come." β
Both smiled and thanked each other.
Ma Gui said again: "Now it's up to us to see if the pictures will be tricked." β
Cao Gan said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, my master is clever, where can a little careful thinking of the Tu people escape the calculation of my master, this time he will definitely go south to Shacheng to meet and break the blood, otherwise, let him let Han Naji accept the canonization in the old Yuan, where can he, the Mongolian Great Khan, do it safely?" β
Ma Gui hurriedly said: "Naturally, there is no need to say that the magic tricks in the high servants, I am just afraid that the figures are stupid, but don't understand the meaning of attacking Han Naji in the middle capital, it will be a little embarrassing." β
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Tumen is not stupid, if he is stupid, he will not choose to continue to march west after Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang sent troops." Since he was able to choose to continue the westward expedition regardless of the rear, it shows that he is well aware of the importance of Tumut to Mongolia, in other words, he is also a far-sighted person, and such a person will not fail to see the inner meaning of this matter. β
"I see" Ma Gui then understood, and said sincerely: "Shizhong is really insightful about Mongolia, as long as the battle of Shacheng is really won this time, at worst, it can make the Mongolians breathless for ten years." β
Gao pragmatic smiled and didn't speak.
Ten years of breathlessness?
Ma Gui's strategic thinking is still a little uninteresting, and his gaze is still too limited.
The battle of Shacheng is important, but it is only an integral part of the entire Mo Nan strategy, in fact, once the entire Mo Nan strategy is fully successful, the Mongols are like they have put a noose around their necks, and when Ming wants to let him die, he only needs to kick off the stool under his feet.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic felt that there was no need to be too anxious about kicking off the stool, he wanted a Mongolia with basically complete strength, not a Mongolia that was a mess and greatly damaged in strength. Therefore, after this great victory, it is enough to make the Tumen have to bow to reality through other methods, but it is not necessary to kill a Mongol Khan to kill him, in addition to giving him a great contribution to Gao Pragmatic, he can only give Damingla hatred, which will not do any good for ruling Mongolia in the future.
Great achievement?
Gao pragmatic pursed his lips, thinking a little reserved in his heart: What's so difficult for me to be a high person? But what I want is not a momentary effort, but a lifetime effort.
Thank you for the monthly pass support of "Lich", "Dust", "PN", and "Golden Hair 1", thank you! The lack of change caused by yesterday's power outage is estimated to be made up in many days, because as I said before, these days are a bit busy
