The city head changes the king's flag!

For the people in the Shanhaiguan area, they almost never thought that they would be able to see the banner of the Ming Dynasty in their lifetime. You can also see the army of the Ming Dynasty again.

For the Han people in the Shanhaiguan area, when they saw the Ming army, they were often excited and uncontrollable, and they all took out the Han-style clothes at the bottom of the box, and tore the robes and horse coats made by the Manchurians, or changed them into other clothes.

When the people hundreds of miles away were happily welcoming the liberation of Wang Shi, the loyal army stationed in Shanhaiguan did not immediately march to the area, but began to collect information from the grassland through various channels.

Originally, the information about the grassland was obtained from the merchants in the Shanhaiguan area, and although the Jin merchants had monopolized the trade with Mongolia by imperial order, there were still many traders who climbed the unguarded Great Wall to trade with the Mongols. This also allows the military department to obtain the information needed from the hands of those traders, after all, the northwest of the Shanhai Pass is the Mongolian land, and it is also the main source of the so-called Mongolian Eight Banners, and this Mongolian land can be said to have always been the most loyal eagle dog of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

It is precisely for this reason that after seizing Shanhaiguan, Zhu Mingzhong immediately sent troops to reconnoiter the mountainous areas northwest of Shanhaiguan, first, to find out the reaction of the Mongols and prevent them from counterattacking, and second, to search for future routes for marching. In order to attack, it is necessary to gather information, and a large amount of information is gathered through the mouths of hundreds of traders.

After Wang Wenbai and his entourage arrived at Shanhaiguan, he brought more detailed information. Compared with those thousands of mares, for Zhu Mingzhong, the most important thing is probably the information he brought.

"King, please see, the location of the Karaqin Banner of this Qing Dynasty is just outside the pass, and its place is only separated by a wall from Beizhili, and the other side connects Liaodong, which is the intersection of the two places......"

In the Shanhaiguan Office, Wang Wenbai, who had changed into a military uniform again, looked a little excited when he pointed to the map on the wall.

It's been two years!

Two years ago, he disguised himself as a merchant and entered Mongolia, in the past two years, his dress is no different from that of ordinary Mongolians, drinking mare's milk wine, eating mutton, drinking tea bricks in the Guannai, in two years, his footsteps have traveled all over Khalkha, as well as Karaqin and other places, two years of grassland life, so that he does not know how many sins he has suffered.

However, it was all worth it, not only did he have first-hand information, but he also made a lot of maps.

"The so-called Karaqin Banner is actually the Duoyan Sanwei of our dynasty back then!"

"Duoyan Sanwei?"

Looking at the map, Zhu Mingzhong's tone was a little surprised, after all, Duoyan Sanwei's reputation was too big. When Emperor Jianwen was established, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, raised troops from Beiping to compete for the throne. Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao, and Zhu Lu, the king of the valley, fled to Nanjing, and Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, waited and watched. Zhu Di rushed to Daning alone to win over Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, and secretly colluded with Duoyan Sanwei with heavy money, and finally coerced Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, to rebel with him. The cavalry of Duoyan Sanwei became the backbone of Zhu Di's "Jingnan Army". Later, after Zhu Di ascended the throne, he changed the policy of guarding the border of the vassal kings, and the three kings of Liao, Gu, and Ning were all renamed to the south. In addition, Zhu Di also retreated the Ming troops stationed in Helin and other Mongolian garrisons to the Great Wall defense line. Zhu Di retreated from the defense line and rewarded Duoyan Sanwei and others with submission to the Mongol tribes, hoping to use them as a peripheral defense line against the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Di's retreat strategy led to a rebellion among the Mongol tribes that soon began: the Wei Posts outside the Guanwai were abolished, and the Ming Dynasty lost control of the steppe, because Duoyan Sanwei and other Mongols had the same origin and were inextricably linked. Therefore, after the evacuation of the Ming Dynasty's guards, Duoyan Sanwei asked to be stationed in the Daningwei area, and the refusal of the Ming Dynasty became the cause of the conflict between the two sides. During the Ming Dynasty, the Mongol tribes of Duoyan Sanwei united with the Tatar leader Arutai, and they often joined forces to attack the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Yongle later "personally marched" for three consecutive years, and led his army deep into the Qulier River valley to attack the Duoyan Sanwei who supported Arutai.

In the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Duoyan Sanwei, who was supposed to guard the border of the Ming Dynasty, was actually another enemy of the Ming Dynasty, although he submitted to the Ming Dynasty government, the treatment was better than that of the other Eastern and Western Mongols. In the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Wara invasion underwent a change in the civil fort, and the Duoyan Sanwei Wuliangha people not only did not help the Ming Dynasty, but took the opportunity to invade Liaodong. The Uliangha people repeatedly attached themselves to the three parties of Warat, Tatar, and Ming Dynasty, and at this time the Duoyan Sanwei had completely lost the role of the Ming Dynasty's helpers.

After the rise of the Later Jin, it annexed the Mongolian tribes through war and marriage, and divided the Mongolian Eight Banners according to the system of the full eight banners. More than 20 years ago, Duoyan Sanwei was compiled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty as the Karaqin Banner, and later was compiled into the left, center, and right, both the three Zasak Banners. In the following ten years, the Karaqin Department with the love of the new Jueluo south expedition to the north, can be said to have made great contributions, even now, there are 20,000 Karaqin banner soldiers under the command of the Qing Dynasty, under the banner of Karaqin, because most of the banners entered the customs with the Qing captives, the three banners of Mongolia are only more than 10,000 banners. ”

Wang Wenbai's words made Zhu Mingzhong sigh.

"The three guards are half into the Jianyu, not my race, their hearts will be different! This is not a deception to me! ”

When the words fell, he looked at Wang Wenbai and asked.

"Chu Ting, what do you think?"

"Back to the king, the three guards have been in trouble for hundreds of years, descending and rebelling, rebelling and surrendering, so repeatedly, today can only be bewitched by it, since now most of its strong men are captured, and there are no more than 10,000 bannermen in the flag, in the opinion of the mark, if the king can send several battalions of cavalry, he will be able to take advantage of his weakness to exterminate all of them, so, the three guards are destroyed, and then build a guard, so that the border trouble can be pacified!"

Zhu Mingzhong neither objected nor agreed with Wang Wenbai's suggestion, he just stared at the map on the wall.

Ten days ago, when Wang Wenbai, dressed as a Mongolian, came to Shanhaiguan with more than 3,000 high-class horses and hundreds of Mongolian slaves, Zhu Mingzhong looked at the military official of the military department who could no longer see the slightest scholarly temperament.

Two years!

After two years of lurking in the enemy camp, while collecting intelligence, while doing everything possible to buy the best horses needed for Jiangbei, especially the best mares, now in the Huainan horse farm in Jiangbei, the reason why he was able to use Arabian horses and Mongolian horses to cross and breed more than 5,000 good horses, he has made great contributions.

And this time, he brought the information of Monti, and more importantly, he had already been aware of how to pacify Monti, so as to completely solve the troubles.

"King!"

Straightening up his waist, Wang Wenbai greeted the king's waist and said.

"Are there any Mongols in the world?"

His rhetorical question made Zhu Mingzhong stunned, what did he mean by this?

"Dare to ask the king, where are the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han dynasties now? And Xianbei in the Wei and Jin dynasties? Where are they now? Judging from the experience of the subordinate Mongolian travel for two years, the so-called Mongolians are probably part of the Xianbei of the year, and there is no Hun blood in the Xianbei, the law on the grassland is different from the Han land, the grassland has always been the strong for respect, the strong rise of a tribe is to defeat the opponent, the annexation of weak tribes as the premise, in the Xiongnu strong, they are the Huns, when the Xianbei people are strong, they are the Xianbei people. When the Turks were strong, they became Turks again, and when the Mongols were strong, they became Mongols again, just like after the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the conquered Mongols became the Eight Banners of Mongolia, hundreds of years later, there are only the so-called banner people, and so on, it can be said that the tribes of the northern grassland are like the clouds on the poem of Bai Juyi. Wildfires burn inexhaustibly, and spring breezes blow and regenerate. ””

After saying this, Wang Wenbai's eyes couldn't help but look towards the north, and his eyes seemed to appear in front of the northern steppe, and the grassland with abundant water and grass appeared, of course, he also thought of the people living on that grassland, although in the past two years, he had swam between countless tents and had a night of dewy love with Mongolian women, but ...... I'm a soldier!

After silently reciting this sentence in his heart, Wang Wenbai's gaze became resolute. There is no longer the slightest emotion in his heart, there is only cold reason, as a soldier, he must make the most rational choice.

Everyone has their own choice, and for Wang Wenbai, he has experienced the massacre of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, I don't know how many relatives and friends died under its massacre, and even this is the reason why he took the initiative to join the army, he was a scholar, if there was no Manchu Qing Dynasty, perhaps, he would have already taken the test for fame and became an official, but now he has made another choice, this choice may not be the best choice for him personally, but it can make him feel at ease, not like in the past when he was enslaved in the Manchu Dynasty, always chattering, How can you face your old friends and classmates who died in this way.

Of course, joining the army is not only for peace of mind, but also to be able to achieve another wish, which is the highest wish of a scholar - to level the world!

"Since the Qin and Han dynasties, these tribes on the grassland, if they are strong, they will enter the Central Plains, and they will be cruel to our people, and if they are weak, they will rely on the Central Plains, or kill each other, and when they annex other tribes, they will enter the Central Plains of Kou, such as the Xiongnu, such as Xianbei, such as the Turks, such as the Khitan, such as the Jurchens, such as Mongolia, and now the Manchu Qing Dynasty, for thousands of years, the people of the grassland regard the Central Plains as fat, all with the ambition of devouring the Central Plains, the Han Dynasty can destroy the Xiongnu, the Tang Dynasty can destroy the Turks, and our dynasty can chase the Mongolian Yuan, which can be divided into thorns and Tatars, even if there is no rise of the Jurchens in Jianzhou, If there are decades of success, maybe one of the two will rise, and at that time, they will definitely suffer from the Central Plains, and if the Central Plains is a little careless, it is possible to repeat the enslavement of the Mengyuan and Manchu Qings. ”
