[0889 Let's go on the expedition, cavalry regiment]
"There are still more than two months left in this year, and it is already winter at this time, and the war at this time seems to be unfavorable to Jiannu, but it is even more unfavorable to Daming." Zhang Meiyuan analyzed: "Ming warfare, more use of chariots, but also rely on war horses, in winter, war horses do not move the car, the Ming army's earthen artillery will be greatly reduced, the weather is cold, the range and range are greatly affected, so in winter operations, the Ming Dynasty almost only has to be beaten." And Nurhachi should know very well that the supply of the border army is through the Ming court, as long as the supply is difficult, it is not impossible to take a city within a few days. Also, Nurhachi was newly defeated, and now he urgently needs the war to restore morale, which is why he is in a hurry to find the Liaodong Army to start a war. ”
Wei Bao nodded, very satisfied with Zhang Meiyuan's analysis, which was similar to what he thought.
"Jiannu can fight if he can win, and he can leave at any time if he can't fight, so it can be said that there is no risk." Zhang Meiyuan continued: "And the other party said that more than 50,000 people and nearly 60,000 people came to attack, and the real manpower used for the attack can be changed at will, as long as the logistics are guaranteed, even if only two or three thousand people are sent on each road, it is enough for the Ming border army to drink a pot." ”
"So we can't let them come and go unscrupulously." Wei Bao said: "Pass my order, the cavalry regiment will attack Karaqin and cut off the supply line of Jiannu!" ”
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and the cavalry regiment attacked?
The cavalry regiment was created with a lot of investment in the treasure army, although it has not yet made meritorious contributions, and it has been a supporting role in all battles, and it can definitely not be less invested than any regular army of the treasure army.
The feeding of war horses requires money, and the training is even more expensive.
"All our cavalry is in the cavalry regiment, all sent out? And can't firearms be used? Wu Xuexia asked.
"All sent out, the cavalry regiment can carry grenades, rifles are not used, there is little difference between cavalry having guns and not guns, you can wear revolvers, and standard weapons use sabers." Wei Bao said: "Originally, the number of our cavalry was limited, and if we didn't send all of them, we couldn't form a strike. ”
In the era of cold weapons, a cavalry can be worth more than a dozen or even dozens of infantry, so the attack power of the infantry is very small, even if two thousand infantry against tens of thousands of infantry, as long as the supply is normal and the morale is strong, it will not be too inferior in the short term, and it is even possible to turn defeat into victory.
The cavalry is different, because of the nobility of the cavalry, because the combat effectiveness of the cavalry is strong, it is impossible to have too many cavalry, with one enemy and two, the infantry can easily do it, and the cavalry is almost impossible.
Therefore, the Bao army only has a cavalry regiment, about 2,000 people, and Wei Bao can only send them all.
Wu Xuexia and the others saw that President Wei had already made a decision, and knew that the president's decision would not be changed, so they didn't say anything anymore.
"President, I'm worried that even if all of them are sent out, our cavalry has only been formed for more than a year, and more than half of them are descendants of Mongols and Han Chinese, not pure Han Chinese, no matter the combat effectiveness or loyalty, it is very likely that it will not play a big role." The chief of the military intelligence section of the president's secretariat said to President Wei.
"How do you know if you don't give it a try? Relying on training alone, it is still too tender to practice for another three years, whether it is pure Han or not, after more than a year of training, I believe that they have integrated into the Heaven and Earth Society! Wei Bao said firmly: "Go and give the order." ”
"Yes, President!" The Chief of the Military Intelligence Section saluted with a standard military salute and turned to go down.
"Then will we only send out cavalry regiments? Should the rest of the troops start moving? Wu Xuexia asked.
"It's okay to be prepared, be ready to send troops at any time, especially if your family has enough food and grass." Wei Bao said to Wu Xuexia.
"Don't worry, I went to see it two days ago, and the food is very sufficient." Wu Xuexia said.
Her father Wu Xiang not only controlled the economy of western Liaoning, but was originally responsible for logistics and supply, and now he was the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, and the soldiers and horses of Shanhaiguan were nominally dispatched by Wu Xiang, and Wu Xiang naturally would not let his soldiers starve.
However, the troops in Shanhaiguan have already been all reorganized into the Bao Army, five brigades plus a cavalry regiment, very powerful modern weapons, but there are no modern firearms, these are all at the level of the garrison headquarters in addition to the cavalry regiment.
It was late at night, and Wei Bao was still thinking about Lin Dan Khan, searching for memories of Lin Dan Khan in his mind.
Since modern times, Lin Dan Khan's evaluation in Mongolia has been greatly improved, believing that he is a heroic lord who is determined to restore Genghis Khan's hegemony and restore the scattered Mongolia to unification, and he resolutely refuses to surrender to Houjin, showing the spirit of the Mongolian nation.
He attempted to impose a strong centralization of power over his ministries and to establish a unified and independent Mongol under his control.
It is more realistic for Lin Dan Khan to unify the various tribes of the southern part of the country internally, to re-establish the authority of the suzerainty of the Great Khan, and to carry out the Lianming anti-Jin campaign externally, so as to save the crisis and try his best to safeguard the interests of the Northern Yuan regime and the Mongolian nation.
However, Lin Dan Khan lived up to the expectations of the Northern Yuan people, and the Northern Yuan region ruled by Lin Dan Khan was based on a single nomadic economy, lacking strong strength, no strong material force to back it up, and he had no solid mass foundation.
Lin Dan Khan's mistakes in domestic and foreign policies and the fact that he made too many enemies will inevitably make him revenge for life if his ambition is not achieved.
When Lin Dan Khan succeeded to the throne, the power of the Mongol Khan had been weakened for a long time, and the Korqin, Nekhalkha, Tumut, and Ordos tribes in Monan were in their own hands, and the Mongol Great Khan could only dominate the Chahar Department of Liaohetao, which was divided into eight Etoks, namely Haozit, Naiman, Keshiketeng, Uzhumuqin, Sunit, Aohan, Alakzhuot and Zhuxiti, and was only regarded as the nominal co-lord by the Monan tribes.
Trans-Khalkha in Mobei did not recognize the Mongol Great Khan as a co-ruler, while Moxi Weirat was still an enemy of the Mongol Empire.
On the other hand, the Jurchen people in the east are gradually embarking on the road of unification and prosperity under the leadership of Nurhachi.
As a result, Lin Dan Khan's situation was very difficult.
After Lin Dan Khan ascended the throne, he faced the situation of declining khanate power and independent government, and began to strengthen the centralization of power.
Lin Dan Khan divided the eight Etok Chahar into three soil sponges on the left and right, built Chahanhot in the Abahai Hara Mountain, ruled it with 60,000 strong troops, and controlled the strong government.
That is to say, according to the tradition of the northern nomads, Lin Dan Khan divided the Chahar part into six blocks on the left and right wings, namely Ahagu Mountain, Doutumen Gu Mountain, Golgu Mountain, Hanagu Mountain, Zhongjun Wanhu and Alak Utwanhu.
In addition, Lin Dan Khan also used the "Tumen Code" to bind the ministries.
He appointed the representative of the Great Khan of the Yongshebu tribe as the representative of the Great Khan to manage the 30,000 Mongol tribes on the right flank, and appointed the Sirkunak Hongtaiji of the Inner Khalkha Shohua Uziyat Department to assist the Great Khan in managing the Mongol tribes on the left flank.
In 1617, Lin Dan Khan established Chahanhot in the Abagahara Mountains in Bahrain as a political center, and ordered the chiefs of the tribes to make pilgrimages, pay tribute, and discuss matters.
Lin Dan Khan believed in Tibetan Buddhism, and Lin Dan Khan was enthusiastic about Buddhism all his life, not only promoting the spread of Tibetan Buddhism in the left-wing 30,000 households, but also making certain contributions to Mongolian culture.
In 1604, the newly enthroned Lin Dan Khan received the ordination of the Gelug sect (Yellow Sect) from the hands of the Yellow Lama lamas such as Maidali Hutuktu and Choni Tsuerji, who were stationed in Mongolia by the Fourth Dalai Lama to take charge of the teachings.
In 1617, the Tibetan Sakya monk Shalkhutuktu arrived in Mongolia to find his supporters, and Lindan Khan was impressed by the magic of Shalhutuktu, and made him a national teacher, and received the empowerment of the Esoteric Tantra, so Lindan Khan converted from the Yellow Sect to the Red Sect.
In the narrow sense, the Red Sect refers only to the Nyingma sect, and in the broad sense, it includes the Sakya and Kagyu sects.
In order to gain the trust of Lin Dan Khan, Shalhu Tuketu took the Maha Kala Golden Buddha cast by the Sakya Lama of the Sakya Sect of the Yuan Dynasty from Wutai Mountain, also known as the Great Black Heaven, which was the protector of the country of Mengyuan.
Lin Dan Khan built a golden-roofed white temple in Chahanhot and offered the golden Buddha to it.
Lin Dan Khan tried to emulate the story of Kublai Khan and Phags-pa, using his relationship with Shahrhutuktu to establish his authority.
However, it backfired, exacerbating the centrifugation of the Mongol tribes who believed in the Yellow Sect and weakening the appeal of Lin Dan Khan.
After Lin Dan Khan moved westward, he gathered 33 scholars led by Kunga Odesr, Bandida Gushi, and Ananda Gushi to translate 108 volumes of Kangyur between 1628 and 1629, and copied them in gold characters on blue paper.
Lindan Khan's organization of the translation of the Kangyur was an important contribution to Mongolian culture.
Lin Dan Khan regarded the jade seal of the country and the golden Buddha of Maha Kala and the golden Kangyur as the three magic weapons.
Lin Dan Khan attacked the Ming Dynasty in 1612 and 1615 in an attempt to gain trade rights with the Ming Dynasty, and finally succeeded in 1617.
In 1618, when the Later Jin invaded the Ming Dynasty, Lin Dan Khan pursued the diplomatic policy of "Lianming against the Jin" in order to obtain the reward of the Ming Dynasty, and wrote an arrogant letter of state to Nurhachi in 1619, which led to a bad relationship with the Later Jin.
However, Lin Dan Khan's alliance with the Ming Dynasty did not stop the Later Jin from swallowing Liaodong, and after the defeat of the Ming Dynasty at the Battle of Quang Ninh in 1622, Lin Dan Khan's reinforcements did not work, after which the alliance between the two cooled.
Lin Dan Khan also began to implement the policy of "first dealing with the inside, then dealing with the outside", and began to merge the Horqin and Inner Khalkha tribes, and avoided confrontation with the Houjin.
So Lin Dan Khan never personally fought against the Houjin.
In the original history, after Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, Lin Dan Khan moved westward and annexed the right-wing tribes (Harashen, Tumut, Ordos, Yongshebu, etc.), one of the important purposes was to obtain the "city reward" given by the Ming Dynasty to the right-wing tribes.
The Ming Dynasty did not give Lin Dan Khan, Lin Dan Khan sent troops to invade Datong, and the Ming Dynasty had to restore the reward to Lin Dan Khan.
Later Jin took advantage of Lin Dan Khan's westward migration to annex the Chahar headquarters, and in 1632 attacked Lin Dan Khan, who fled to Qinghai when he heard the news.
After that, the relationship between Lin Dan Khan and the Ming Dynasty completely broke down, and the Ming Dynasty even handed over the property and subordinates left by Lin Dan Khan to the Later Jin.
Later, Lin Dan Khan formed an "anti-yellow alliance" with the Tibetan Zangba Khan, the Kham Baili Tusi Yuedun Dorjee, and the Khalkha Yuktu Taiji and Chotu Khan in an attempt to make a comeback, but he died soon in 1634.
Lin Dan Khan, who was at the beginning of his reign, was mentioned many times in the recitals of the ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
As early as 1606, in October of the 34th year of Wanli, the military department gave Song Yihan in the middle of the matter "Border Affairs" in the text: "Since the unitary, the two dead masters, Liao Shang can be said? Fortunately, the sky is disgusted with the species, and the barbarians (originally referring to Tumen Khan, here referring to Buyan Khan) are so, and they rest their shoulders slightly. Duling Danhan is newly established, the captives are inciting, the metropolis, the evil and the green are both yang and yin, and An can not respond at the same rate? This situation in Liaodong is also. He also called Lin Dan Khan "a poor and hungry captive".
In July of the following year, the military department Shangshu Xiao Tycoon analyzed the border defense situation, saying that "the young heir is upright, and the cowardly is not threatened."
In 1609, Xiong Tingbi, the governor of Liaodong, also said that Lin Dan Khan "could not yet unify the people".
In 1612, Lin Dan Khan led an army of 30,000 to invade the Ming Dynasty, but with little success.
By the autumn of 1615, he personally led tens of thousands of troops to plunder the Ming border three times, and frequently attacked on the front from Guangning to Jinzhou, which was hundreds of miles long, with great momentum.
The Ming Dynasty exclaimed, "Hudun Rabbit is a famous king among captives, especially unruly."
By 1617, Lin Dan Khan had returned the captive Ming population and gained the right to trade with the Ming Dynasty.
It is worth noting that in the military campaign in 1615, Lin Dan Khan raised troops jointly with the leader of the Inner Khalkha Five Tribes, Zhuolik Tuhun Batulu (known as fried flowers in the Ming Dynasty), indicating that the Inner Khalkha was already under the control of Lin Dan Khan.
At this time, he took a series of measures to strengthen the power of the Khan, such as building the capital city of Chahanhot, which means "White City", and using the "Code of Tumen Khan" to bind the tribes, so that the Monan tribes could make a new pilgrimage to the Great Khan.
His ideal was not only to strengthen the power of the Chahar tribe, but also to restore the hegemony of Genghis Khan.
This can be seen from his honorific titles: "God of God, All-Wise Genghis Longsheng Khan", "Lin Dan Hutu Ketu Shengwu Genghis Daming Xue Chan is invincible, incomparably great, Chakrakravaldi Taizong Heavenly Heaven and the Jade Emperor of the universe turns the Golden Wheel Dharma King".
In 1617, under the persuasion of the Tibetan Sakya monk Shahrhutuktu, Lin Dan Khan converted from the Yellow Sect (Gelugpa) to the Red Sect. Worry-free love book network
The Sakya sect is a flower sect in a narrow sense, and in a broad sense, it belongs to the Red religion along with the Nyingma and Kagyu sects.
At this time, after decades of spreading in Mongolia, the Yellow Religion had been deeply rooted, and Lin Dan Khan's sudden conversion to religion undoubtedly intensified the centrifugal force of the Mongolian tribes who believed in the Yellow Religion against the Great Khan, and caused a considerable obstacle to Lin Dan Khan's cause of unifying Mongolia.
Before Lin Dan Khan could put the unification of Mongolia into action, Nurhachi in the east established the Later Jin Khanate, which posed a great threat to Lin Dan Khan and the Ming Dynasty.
Nurhachi has been digging the corners of Mongolia, and before and after Nurhachi became Khan, Korqin, Nekharkha and other departments married Nurhachi.
In 1618, Nurhachi sued the heavens with seven hatreds and launched a war of aggression against the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty was defeated in the Battle of Sarhu the following year, leaving Liaodong in jeopardy.
At this time, the Ming Dynasty thought of Lin Dan Khan, as early as 1618, in September of the 46th year of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty Liaodong Jingluo Yang Hao put forward the strategy of "controlling Dongyi in the first paragraph of the west", "Dongyi" refers to Nurhachi's Later Jin regime, and "Xiyu" refers to the Mongolian tribes headed by Lin Dan Khan.
Later, the household department suggested to Ying Zhen in the matter, Feng Jiahui, the imperial historian of Shanxi Province, and Huang Jiashan, the secretary of the military department, to "attack the raze with raze" and use Lin Dan Khan to deal with Nurhachi, so as to reap the "fisherman's profit".
However, the Ming Dynasty was the first to use the Inner Khalkha close to the Houjin, in 1619, in July of the forty-seventh year of Wanli, Nurhachi who was carrying the aftermath of the Battle of Salhu led the army to besiege Tieling, and the most powerful Zai Sai (Zhaisai) in the Inner Khalkha led 10,000 people to aid the Ming, but when he arrived at the city, Tieling had been lost, and then fought with the Houjin soldiers, defeated, Zaisai and his two sons and Bak, Seben, Sangar, etc. were captured.
In August, another Ming dynasty, the Yehe tribe, was overthrown, and the Ming court officially shifted its attention to Lin Dan Khan.
Lin Dan Khan and Nurhachi "never provoked", but in order to grab the "silver reward" of the Ming Dynasty and strengthen their strength, they also intended to adopt the strategic policy of Lianming to resist Jin.
In the autumn of 1619, the Ming Dynasty sent Wang You, a supervisor, to Chahanhot with 4,000 taels of silver.
Then he instructed his uncle to say to the envoy that "he wants to raise his own army to kill slaves, but the power is in his hands, and it may be difficult to do it without permission", so as to raise the price.
In the end, an agreement was reached, the Ming Dynasty rewarded 4,000 taels of silver every year, and the following year it was increased to 40,000 taels, and Lin Dan Khan assisted the Ming army to defend the city of Guangning, and the place where the silver was received was set in Guangning Tuanshan, Zheng'an Fort and other places.
After forming an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, Lin Dan Khan sent Kangkar Baihu to Houjin in October 1619 with a letter of state, which was "arrogant in word", and Lin Dan Khan regarded himself as "Baturu Genghis Khan, the lord of 400,000 Mongolians", and contemptuously called Nurhachi "the lord of the 30,000 Jurchens on the waterfront", and warned Nurhachi not to invade Quang Ninh.
In the face of this letter of state, the Houjin ministers were furious, half of them advocated beheading him, and half of them advocated cutting off his nose or ears and putting them back.
At that time, Nurhachi was taking the "strange goods" Zai Sai captured in the Battle of Tieling as a hostage, trying to blackmail the Nekhalkha into forming an alliance with him, so he had no time to deal with diplomatic issues with Lin Dan Khan.
After forming an alliance with the Inner Khalkha, Nurhachi officially replied to Lin Dan Khan in the first month of the following year, and in his reply, he first wantonly enumerated the plight of the Mongol Khan after the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Yuan Dynasty, and then instigated Lin Dan Khan to form an alliance with himself to crusade against the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Dan Khan ignored it and also detained the Houjin envoy Shuose Ubashi.
Half a year later, Nurhachi listened to the rumors from Inner Khalkha and thought that Shuose Ubashi had been killed by Lin Dan Khan, so he beheaded Lin Dan Khan's envoy Kangkar Baihu (later Shuose Ubashi fled back to Houjin).
The relationship between Houjin and Lin Dan Khan Chahar was broken.
Lin Dan Khan withstood Nurhachi's humiliation, because he did not even have a unified Inner Mongolia, let alone a war against the Later Jin.
Nevertheless, in order to obtain the "silver reward" of the Ming Dynasty, Lin Dan Khan had to do something.
In the spring of 1621, the Later Jin occupied Shenyang. Nurhachi left part of his troops to garrison Shenyang, commanded most of the rest of the forces, and prepared to take advantage of the victory to capture Liaoyang.
After Lin Dan Khan learned of this information, he ordered the minister in charge of the 30,000 households of the Mongolian left flank, Sir Khunak, Du Linghongtaiji, to lead 2,000 cavalry, including Nekharkha Zhuoliktu, Darhan Batur, and Bahadarhan, to Shenyang to rescue Zaisai who was still in custody.
Sierhunak Duling Hongtaiji led a light cavalry to the city of Shenyang and fought with the Jin soldiers defending the city.
However, the Mongol army, fearing reinforcements from Nurhachi, quickly retreated. In August 1621, the Fifth Department of the Inner Khalkha sent 10,000 head of cattle to redeem Zaisai from Nurhachi.
This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Lin Dan Khan's prestige.
After Nurhachi obtained Liao and Shen, he plotted to occupy Quang Ninh.
At that time, the governor of Guangning in the Ming Dynasty was Wang Huazhen, who trusted Lin Dan Khan very much, thinking that Lin Dan Khan could send 40,000 troops to help, and promised Lin Dan Khan a reward of 10,000 taels of silver.
Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong Economic Strategy, opposed blind dependence on Mongolia and advocated strengthening the strength of the Ming army itself.
In the first month of 1622, Nurhachi launched a large-scale attack on Quang Ninh, and Wang Huazhen abandoned the city and fled.
Lin Dan Khan first sent 10,000 troops to aid Quang Ninh, and another 20,000 troops did not arrive due to snow, but at this time Quang Ninh had already fallen.
Lin Dan Khan's army turned to guard the Shanhai Pass and continued to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty for a reward for retaking Guangning, and the Ming Dynasty spent an estimated million taels of silver to appease Lin Dan Khan.
After the Battle of Quang Ninh, the Later Jin offensive against the Ming Dynasty was temporarily stopped, and the internal contradictions of Mongolia gradually became prominent.
The intermarriage and oath between Nekhalkha and Houjin aroused the suspicion of Lin Dan Khan. He severely accused the minister who was in charge of the 30,000 households of the left wing, Sirhunak Dureng Hongtaiji, for his ineffective control, and even suspected that he had secret contacts with Nurhachi, and was ready to take necessary measures against Sirhunak Dulenghongtaiji and other Zhutaiji.
This has only accelerated the division within Mongolia.
Originally, after Lin Dan Khan converted to the Red Sect, the Mongolian tribes that respected the Yellow Sect had been separated from Lin Dan Khan's appearance and began to do their own thing.
In February 1622, the special minister of the left wing, who managed 30,000 households on the left wing, had a disagreement with Lin Dan Khan, so he led more than 3,000 households to Liaoyang City and surrendered to Nurhachi.
Affected by this, in the first month of 1623, the Inner Khar Karabashi Shib, Sonomu, Mangguo, Dalai Taiji and others also led 500 households to Liaoyang City.
At this time, the Uzhumuqin tribe of Weng Gundu Lalzi Dorji Chechen Jinong and his uncle's son Sereng Erdeni Taiji also led their troops to defect to Mobei Outer Khalkha because of discord with Lin Dan Khan.
The Sunit Division, Susai Batu Lujinong, the Haoqi Special Division, the Celing Yilden, and the Abagar Division, Dusi Garza, Saktu Jinong, each led their own divisions, and also defected to Mobei.
Faced with a crisis from within Mongolia, Lin Dan Khan had to turn his guns and deal with the Mongol tribes that were harming his interests.
After his goods were robbed many times by the thirty-six families of the Harashen family and the share of the Xifengkou reward trade, he "made people speak", but when he ran into a wall, he said: "The southern dynasty is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the north is only me, how can I be the king everywhere?" I should be in first, and then outside. ”
Lin Dan Khan felt that his immediate priority was to solve the problem of the Mongol tribes encroaching on his interests.
At that time, although the Fifth Inner Khalkha Department allied with Nurhachi, it still communicated with the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time, Nurhachi asked Nekharkha to sever relations with Chahar, which was also opposed, so Nurhachi launched a punitive attack on Inner Khalkha in April 1623, killing the hardliners against the Later Jin - Zalut Department Taiji Angan.
The leader of the Inner Khalkha Five Alliance, Zhuo Liktu, sent people to Lin Dan Khan, hoping to take revenge together, but Lin Dan Khan did not respond.
This reflects the strategy of Lin Dan Khan to no longer confront Houjin head-on, but instead to devote himself to "Annei".
Lin Dan Khan's desire to unify Mongolia could not but threaten the interests of the Mongol feudal lords, among which the Korqin tribe led by Obataiji and the Chahar tribe of Lin Dan Khan were the most tense, and at the same time, they became increasingly close to the Later Jin, and by 1624 they simply abandoned Lin Dan Khan and formed an alliance with Nurhachi.
The alliance between Korqin and Houjin was different from that of the previous Inner Khalkha, which was an "important alliance" under the coercion of the Later Jin and had little effect due to the resistance of the Inner Khalkha; Korqin, on the other hand, took the initiative to form an alliance and explicitly targeted Lin Dan Khan, so Horqin bore the brunt of Lin Dan Khan's unification.
In October 1624, Lin Dan Khan first sent the Gyirji Lama to negotiate with Oba, but the result was an unhappy part.
In November, Lin Dan Khan led an army to conquer Korqin, and Oba was defeated by the Chahar army, so he hurriedly sent people to report to his ally Houjin.
Nurhachi personally led the minister of Baylor to help, and after arriving at Zhenbeibao, he ordered Mang Gurtai to lead 5,000 troops to Nong'an Tower, but in fact it was just a bluff, and did not mean to protect Korqin.
However, after Lin Dan Khan received the news of Houjin's reinforcements, he was unwilling to confront Houjin head-on, so he hurriedly retreated, and the siege of Korqin was resolved.
The next day, after receiving the military order, the cavalry regiment of the treasure army, which had begun to make preparations for the expedition the night before, was assembled and sent troops from Shanhaiguan in a mighty manner.
President Wei even personally saw off the Baojun Cavalry Regiment.
Shanhaiguan officials, generals, ordinary people, and tens of thousands of people witnessed the formation of the Baojun cavalry regiment.
Two horses and one person, the war horses are all Jiannu's superior war horses, and they are definitely not inferior to Jiannu.
Not only that, but the revolver and grenade hanging from the waist of the treasure army are also conspicuous, as well as the sagre that is bright and dangling, which is not the saber of the Ming army at first glance.
Although the steel level of Tiandihui is still very primitive, it has a certain chemical foundation after all.
The steel quenching technology is much higher than that of the Ming Dynasty, and all the best quality materials are used, almost reaching the level of stainless steel.
After Sun Chengzong got the news, he personally ran out of the Jiliao Governor's Mansion and rushed to see off the treasure army.
Sun Chengzong originally thought that Wei Bao was just talking casually, thinking that Wei Bao was preparing to use the military strength of the Mongols and Jiannu to consume the border army, and when the border army could not hold it, he would recapture the city, so as to achieve the purpose of continuously consuming the border army, so as to further enhance his strength.
So much so that the purpose of controlling the entire Jiliao step by step.
I didn't expect Wei Bao to send an army so quickly and directly take out the cavalry!
In the eyes of the military personnel of the Ming Court at this time, the cavalry is a treasure, and it must be the foundation of each army.
"Xiaobao, now I can rest assured that I am a teacher." Sun Chengzong looked at the excellent equipment of the Bao Army, although the Bao Army was wearing cloth uniforms and no armor at all.
Moreover, the uniforms of the Bao army were not only different from those of the Ming army, but also completely different from those of the Jiannu and the Mongols.
Everyone is the kind of pants that are straight to the waist, and the tops are also very close-fitting, and there is no outer robe at all.
But Sun Chengzong still felt that Baojun was very imposing.
"The teacher is here." Wei Bao smiled and introduced to Sun Chengzong: "This is Liu Dahe, the commander of our cavalry regiment, which is also equivalent to the deputy general of the Ming army!" ”
Sun Chengzong sighed, looked at Liu Dahe, and saw that Liu Dahe was in his early thirties, with a fierce face, and nodded again and again.
