Wei Bao estimated that Sister Fang had obtained specific information about the alliance between Jiannu and the Mongols.

When Wei Bao walked over, Sister Fang saluted Lord Wei and said softly: "President, the specific marching route and starting point of the Jiannu and Mongol coalition have been clarified. ”

Wei Bao secretly thought, it was really a major military situation, and secretly admired the efficiency of the Statistics Bureau.

"Have you checked the information with Lin Wenbiao?" Wei Bao asked.

"I haven't had time yet, I just received the information, I know that the president is here, so I will give it to the president first." Sister Fang said goodbye and handed a grand letter to Lord Wei.

Wei Bao took it, "Let's go, go to the Maritime Chamber of Commerce and say." Are you going? ”

"I don't really need it, because the intelligence is very well written, and there are many people in the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, and no one knows my identity yet." Sister Fang said.

Although Sister Fang is the head of Jiliao Station, she is in charge of a large area of Jiliao, and there are areas controlled by Jiannu and the Mongols, but except for the people in the Statistics Bureau, not many people really know Sister Fang'er's identity.

Even in the Bureau of Statistics, in addition to the people at Jiliao Station, only a few high-level people in the Bureau of Statistics know the identity of Sister Fang'er's stationmaster.

At Jiliao Station, there are only a limited number of people who can contact Sister Fang.

Wei Bao nodded: "It's okay!" ”

Just teased Lin Xiaoyu's happiness, if it was according to Wei Bao's habits in the past, maybe he would find a place to linger with Sister Fang for a while at this time, but now that the military situation is urgent, President Wei didn't say anything more and left.

When he returned to the Maritime Chamber of Commerce, Wei Bao immediately called the head of the department in charge of military intelligence in the President's Secretariat.

Zhang Meiyuan, Wu Xuexia, Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming were worried that the president was too tired, and they all said that it would not be too late to discuss the matter tomorrow.

"I'm not tired." Wei Bao said to the map: "The intelligence says that the combined forces of Jiannu and the Mongols are divided into four routes, and they will attack Ningyuan City, Gaotai Fort, Qiantunbao and Shanhaiguan at the same time, and the location of the army is in Karaqin!" ”

"It's very strange, Karaqin is a little below the capital of Lin Dan Khan, Chahanhot, here is very close to Lin Dan Khan's camp, the Chahar tribe commanded by Lin Dan Khan is not in harmony with Jiannu, it is a hostile state, this time the vassals were forced to follow Jiannu to fight the Nekhalkha tribe and the Korqin tribe, but also by Lin Dan Khan as a betrayer, they put the rear assembly place in Karaqin, I don't know what to think. Aren't you afraid that Lin Dan Khan will lead people to copy their back roads? "A military intelligence officer who is proficient in Manchurian and Mongolian affairs.

Chahanhot, the capital of Karaqin and Chahar, is a very important city in Monan.

The Mongols were accustomed to a nomadic life, and the cities were very few, and most of them were very small, and it was impossible to form a huge city like the Han Chinese.

This is even more precious, almost all the places where the city is formed are military important towns for the Mongols and Jiannu!

In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains, and the Mongols retreated to Mobei, and history entered the Northern Yuan period.

In the thirties of the 15th century, the Karaqin army and their families, as well as the Karaqin herdsmen, gradually developed into a powerful tribe, known as the Karaqin tribe.

They were still nomadic in the Mobei region of the Yuan Dynasty, in the territory of the Chenghai Xuanwei Division in the former Lingbei Province and the west of Ning Road.

At this time, the Karaqin tribe was under the command of Arutai, the leader of the Asut tribe.

The ancestors of the Azot tribe were the Ass and Alans who lived near the Caucasus in the 13th century, and in 1239, they were brought back to the Mongolian plateau by the Mongol army to serve the Mongol Great Khan.

They share essentially the same experience as the Karaqin people, and their ancestors are all from the West.

These two divisions also became the main Etoks of the right-wing Mongol Yongshebu Wanhu in the future.

In 1449, the first Taishi led his troops south and launched the "Civil Engineering Campaign" against the Ming Dynasty, and the 500,000 troops of the Ming Dynasty were wiped out, and Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty was captured in Tumubao first.

After this, the Ming army was forced to abandon the previously occupied Monan area and completely retreat to the south of the Ming Great Wall. In 1453, he ascended to the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia, becoming the only Great Khan in Mongolian history who was not from a golden family.

However, the good times did not last long, and in the second year of his ascension to the throne, Ara, who was then the prefect of the Privy Council during the period of Tokhtobu Khan, was dissatisfied with Yexian and turned against him, so he raised an army and killed Yexian Khan.

Since then, the power of the Oirats has collapsed, and the remnants of the army have quickly withdrawn from the Eastern Mongolian region, and they have also lost their dominance over the Karaqin tribe.

At this time, the Northern Yuan Taishi served as the new lord of the Karaqin tribe, and led the Karaqin tribe and the Asute tribe into the Yellow River Hetao area in 1456.

During this period, the leader of the Wengniut tribe, Maoli, who was a descendant of Genghis Khan's half-brother Beligutai, led his troops into the Hetao.

In 1470, the descendants of the Yuan Dynasty, Polo Khubayan Mengkejinong, led a large number of people from the Ordos tribe into the Hetao area, and they became the new rulers of the Hetao region along with the Karaqin tribe. At the same time, the Oirats also entered the Loop.

In 1480, Mandu Haihatun assisted the 7-year-old Batu Mengke, the Great Khan of Mongolia, called Dayan Khan.

After nearly 30 years of fighting, Dayan Khan, with the assistance of Mandu Haihatun, finally regained control of the Mongol tribes in 1510 and divided Mongolia into 60,000 households on the left and right flanks.

Among them, Ordos, Tumut, and Yongshebu are 30,000 right-wing households.

Chahar, Khalkha, and Uliangha are 30,000 left-wing households.

In order to strengthen his control over the right wing of the Mongols, in 1510, Dayan Khan sent his second son Urus Borot to the right wing of Mongolia to serve as Jinong, and assumed the position of Jinong in front of the Eight White Palaces in Ordos.

However, the great feudal lords led by the right-wing lord Yongshebu and the lord of the Ordos tribe, Mandu Cheng, saw that Dayan Khan's unification cause hindered the power in their hands, and 30,000 households on the right flank rebelled.

In 1510, Dayan Khan personally led his troops to attack the right wing, and after the "Battle of the Turgan River" and the "Battle of Durranterigon", he put down a rebellion led by the right wing Yongsheb lord Yibra.

After quelling the rebellion of the right wing, Dayan Khan divided the 30,000 households of the right wing to his descendants.

He handed over the command of 30,000 households on the right wing to his third son, Balsborot, and named Jinong, that is, deputy khan, and made him sit in Ordos Wanhu.

Later, when Balsborot again divided the territory among his sons, his fourth son, Bayashal, was given a share of the right-wing Yongshebwanhu and took charge of Karaqin, Asut and other Etoks.

From then on, Bayas Hal became the lord of the Karaqin tribe, and the Karaqin tribe also became the hereditary domain and subject of the Golden Family.

One of his two elder brothers, Gunbilik Jinong, received a share of the Ordos Wanhu, and Altan Khan got the Tumut Wanhu.

According to the records of the "Nine Border Examinations", at this time, the activity area of the Karaqin Department had moved out of the Ordos region and was stationed outside the borders of Zhangjiakou and Dushikou in Xuanfu.

This area has penetrated deep into the pastoral area of the three guards of Uliangha.

After Bayas Hale became the lord of the Karaqin tribe and penetrated into the pasture of the Uliangha Sanwei, the Uliangha Sanwei began to have a very close relationship with the Karaqin tribe.

In the early 40s of the 16th century, Duoyanwei, one of the three guards of Wuliangha, under the leadership of his lord Enke brothers, carried Genghis Khan's mother Heelun sacrificial palace tent to join the Genghis Khan Golden Family.

Altan Khan gave the 5 Enke brothers to his younger brother Bayas Halkundulun Khan, which became the source of the Uliangha people of the Karaqin tribe, and took the 4 people of Enke as his own and became Albatu, a subject of the people, led by Altan Khan's eldest son Xinai Huangtaiji, who in turn became the Uliangha people of the Eastern Tumut tribe.

After a part of the Doyan Uliangha led by Enke was annexed to the Karaqin tribe, they took Bayas Halle, the leader of the Karaqin tribe, and his descendants as their lords.

At the beginning of the 17th century, Lin Dan Khan was the Great Khan of Mongolia.

At that time, the northern part of the Ming Dynasty was in a very complex political pattern.

In the northeast, the Jianzhou Jurchens had gradually risen to prominence, transforming the Jurchens from vassals of Mongolia into powerful political and military rivals of Mongolia and establishing the Later Jin state.

However, the Mongol tribes were in a state of feudal separation, and the power of the Great Khan was almost reduced to the Khan of the Chahar family.

The Ming Dynasty controlled the Liaodong region and still had a great deal of political influence in the region.

As a result of the three-way competition, the power of the Houjin gradually expanded.

In view of such a complicated situation, Lin Dan Khan was full of ambition to reunite the Mongol tribes.

Lin Dan Khan followed a wrong line, failing to use his political influence and wisdom as the Great Khan of the Mongols to unite the tribes of his kind, but instead waged a war of annexation against the Mongol tribes by fighting and fratricidal.

As a result, the Mongolian tribes in the northeast region, such as Naiman, Aohan, Bahrain, Zalut, Korqin and other tribes, have been annexed to Houjin.

In the situation of successive defeats in annexing the surrounding Mongol tribes, Lin Dan Khan turned his military edge to the right-wing Mongol tribes and advanced westward in order to seek new opportunities for development and counteroffensive.

The right-wing Mongol tribes opposed his invasion and annexation and put up a stubborn resistance.

The Karaqin tribe was located at the forefront of the right-wing Mongols, and had always had conflicts with Lin Dan Khan.

As early as the lifetime of the Karaqin tribe Bayas Hal, his fourth son, Manwusu, was adopted by Tumen Khan as a adopted son.

Tumen Khan sent his men to the Karaqin garrison for protection. In the time of Lin Dan Khan, Man Wusu led the troops left behind by Yuan Tumen Khan to return to the Karaqin Department.

Lin Danhan was extremely dissatisfied with Manwusu's approach, so he asked for the return of the men and horses sent by Tumen Khan to the Karaqin tribe, but was refused.

In addition, the Karaqin tribe was nomadic outside the Xuanda border and occupied an advantageous position in the exchange market with the Ming, so it seized most of the share of the mutual trade with the Ming, and Lin Dan Khan was extremely dissatisfied with this, and once mobilized 100,000 troops to threaten the Karaqin tribe.

At the same time, he sent a posthumous envoy to Xuanfu to inform the Ming Dynasty that the land of Zhangjiakou originally belonged to the Chahar Department, and in the future, the Karaqin people would not be allowed to impersonate each other here.

The Karaqin tribe fought-for-tat in an attempt to unite the Ming forces with Lin Dan Khan to fight, but the Ming Dynasty adopted a method of acting in disobedience and standing by.

In this state of affairs, war is on the verge of breaking out.

In several annexation wars in which the Karaqin tribe encountered Lin Dan Khan, most of his army was scattered, some of them fled to the Ming border to take refuge, and some were captured by Lin Dan Khan.

The leaders of the Karaqin Golden Family and their population were left with little to no remnant as most of them were killed and captured in the Chahar annexation war.

The tribesmen of the Uliangha people in Karaqin did not participate in the Battle of Aibuha, but were subjugated by the Later Jin under the leadership of Changangzi Seling and Sun Subudi Tabunang, thus preserving their strength, and they soon participated in the Later Jin war against Lin Dan Khan.

Most of the Taiji and tribesmen of the Karaqin Golden Family, who had survived, were separated by the Later Jin into the Mongolian Eight Banners.

In this way, Seleng and Subudi Tabu continued to use the name of the original suzerain's main department "Karaqin".

The leadership of the Karaqin tribe was completely transferred from the golden family to the hands of the Uliangha people, and the Uliangha people became the new lords of the Karaqin tribe.

This also indicates that the new Karaqin tribe is reconstituted by the Uliangha people.

After analyzing for a while, Wei Bao pointed out: "It should be that Nurhachi did not take Lin Dan Khan in his eyes, and Nurhachi fought against the Ming court this time, according to their tradition of fighting against the Ming Dynasty over the years, they all regarded the Ming Dynasty as fat pork, forming a tacit understanding, whenever one side attacks the Ming Dynasty, the other side will not take the opportunity to attack." Moreover, Nurhachi also knew that we had nothing to do with the Mongols. ”

Wei Bao actually wanted to get in touch with Lin Dan Khan for a long time, but after a few contacts, Wei Bao was not interested in contacting Lin Dan Khan, so he gave up.

Lin Dan Khan, whose real name is Lin Dan Batur, is a descendant of Genghis Khan and the 7th grandson of Dayan Khan.

After the death of Buyan Chechen Khan Buyantai Zhou, due to the rapid death of his son Manggu, the eldest grandson Lindan Batur succeeded to the throne in 1604.

Lin Dan Khan was 13 years old when he ascended the throne, and his honorific title was "Hutuketu Khan", which was translated by the Ming people as Hudun Tuhan.

Now Lin Dan Khan is only less than thirty-three or four years old, as a feudal lord, he is still very young, but he has been in power for more than ten years.

The Ming Dynasty had a low evaluation of Lin Dan Khan, saying that he was "young and addicted to alcohol", "addicted to alcohol", "lustful for profit, and unable to control it".

On the other hand, he said that he was "a famous king among captives, especially a rebellious".

The Manchurians also had a negative evaluation of Lin Dan Khan.

Even the Mongols themselves have a very low opinion of Lin Dan Khan, in short, Lin Dan Khan is an image of a tyrant who runs rampant.

He, along with Choktu Taiji, Zangba Khan, and Baili Tusi Yuedun Dorjee, were degraded by Mongolian and Tibetan history books as the "Four Evil Khans" who destroyed the Yellow Sect.

This is obviously a conclusion drawn from the historical view of the Yellow Sect.

Another reason why Lin Dan Khan received a bad review was that in the process of unifying Mongolia, he harmed the interests of many Mongol feudal lords, led to the rebellion of many people, and finally failed, and the voice fell to the Manchus and Mongol feudal lords as victors.

At that time, the Mongolian feudal lords complained to Houjin about the sins of Lin Dan Khan, because this evil Chahar Khan had a violent temperament and was extremely harmful to everyone, even if the clan would never belong to him until he died and was poor.

Therefore, Wei Bao felt that Lin Dan Khan was a person who couldn't support the wall in the mud, Wei Bao's main goal was still Jiannu, when would Jiannu be destroyed, dealing with Lin Dan Khan was not devastating, if he got close, he wouldn't be able to wipe off his face when he started in the future.

Wu Xuexia nodded and said: "It should be like this, and Jiannu has always carried very few supplies with soldiers, and the place of departure is only a psychological role, and the food left in this logistics base will be used for about five days at most." Most of the supplies were obtained by the Jiannu cavalry while fighting and looting. Now that we have emptied Liaodong, it is very difficult for Nurhachi to rely on the war to obtain food from Liaodong, unless we capture our fortified cities. ”

"That's even more impossible, if they don't bring enough food, just by plundering, it can't be as easy as before, if you want to capture places like Ningyuan City, Gaotai Fort and Qiantunbao, not more than a month, don't even think about it, as for Shanhaiguan, now it is taken over by our treasure army, Jiannu is to raise an army of more than 100,000, and it is impossible to break through it if they are given a year, because behind Shanhaiguan is Weijiazhuang, we can have a steady stream of supplies, and there is no burden at all, and Jiannu wants to supply, and it takes a long journey to stretch for hundreds of miles." The military intelligence officer analyzed.

"Their way of playing this time should be to show off their strength to the president, show their strength, and bargain with us in the negotiations." Wu Xuexia analyzed: "Jiannu was beaten by us in the Hunhe River, and was completely at a disadvantage, and now he must have learned from the pain and thought of a way not to suffer, but he didn't dare to provoke us again, so he didn't fight in North Korea, not on the southern edge of Liaoning, but in Liaodong." ”

"There is also a certain certainty, the president said that if you don't invest in materials in Liaodong, at least you can't invest in guns and guns, and you still have enough psychological advantages to fight with cold weapons." MI officer said.

"So we must thwart Jiannu's spirit this time and make them completely surrender! However, I don't think that Karaqin has only stored grain and grass for a few days, maybe Jiannu is desperate this time and is ready to spend a winter. Zhang Meiyuan couldn't help but analyze.

When Wei Bao heard this, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Meiyuan with admiration, in the original history, Nurhachi launched the Battle of Ningyuan in January of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, that is, on the eve of the New Year, in the middle of winter, which is rare in the Jiannu battle, because the midwinter is not conducive to the use of war horses.

If you don't experience it yourself, there are indeed many mysteries in history that cannot be solved.

"How could you think that? Tell us what you think. Wei Bao said to Zhang Meiyuan, and smiled encouragingly at Zhang Meiyuan.

Although Zhang Meiyuan has never been in contact with war, her father's British duke is also a person who has never fought in a war, although Jingying is the emperor's guard, in fact, it is simply a security guard at the gate, which is useless.

However, the military books and historical materials of the British government may be the most complete in the entire Ming Dynasty.

This has caused the British prince himself and the British prince to have no military culture, and Zhang Meiyuan is self-taught, at least some people use the military to talk about Zhang Meiyuan on paper, and Zhang Meiyuan is not stunned.

Wu Xuexia, Wang Qiuya and Princess Zhenming all looked at Zhang Meiyuan curiously.

Because Zhang Meiyuan rarely speaks during deliberations, she usually listens quietly, and most of the time it is Wu Xuexia who speaks.

Obedient and listening, Wu Xuexia heard Zhang Meiyuan open her mouth, and knew that Zhang Meiyuan was definitely not grandstanding.
