474 Divisions
Regardless of whether Hauge was reluctant or not, in the end, Wu Keshan finally received the grain and grass materials on the way back, and then hurried back to the grassland.
And Haoge himself had to return to Haizhou because of the problem of grain and grass.
The other roads are basically the same as Haoge's side, as soon as the Shengjing messenger arrived, the cavalry of the Mongolian tribe all asked for the grain and grass on the road, and hurried back to the grassland.
One difference is that Duoduo's headquarters stationed heavy troops at Zhenjiang Fort to prevent the cavalry of the Dongjiang Army from rushing into the hinterland of Liaodong again; On the Xinjin side, Yue Tuo and Azig rushed to occupy Jinzhou. As for Lushun's side, it's basically just a horse scout. Neither Yue Tuo nor Azig had the intention of attacking Lushun.
As a result, the battle on the Liaodong side that originally seemed to be going to be a big battle suddenly calmed down.
Almost everyone's eyes turned to the grassland.
Hong Chengchou's side is looking forward to the emperor's triumph as planned; On the Jianyu side, he was praying that his allies would suffer less losses, and it would be best to kill the Ming Emperor by mistake, in that case, the Qing Dynasty would make a lot of money.
…………
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen naturally knew that his side was in the limelight. But he didn't care, and he wasn't worried. After all, he knew the movements in Liaodong clearly. And on the general soldiers of all walks of life on the grassland, there are also B-level eavesdropping seeds, so they can know what their situation is and know what they are like.
Taught to the river valley, Wu Sangui was by Emperor Chongzhen's side, watching Emperor Chongzhen slowly gnawing on a lamb chop that was just roasted, he was a little worried, so he played to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, I don't know when to conquer the Naiman tribe?" ”
This Jiaolai River valley is the nomadic land of the Naiman tribe demarcated by Jianyu, and after Emperor Chongzhen led the Jingying cavalry to the Kulun camp, he arrived here without hurry, which made Wu Sangui very worried. He hurriedly ate some steak himself, and couldn't help but ask.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he understood the worry in his heart, so he smiled and said: "The mutton on this grassland is tender, Wu Qing doesn't eat more?" ”
"......" Wu Sangui didn't expect the emperor to not talk about business, just mutton, speechless for a while, and couldn't help but say in his heart: Your Majesty, are you eating lamb or not, it's strange if it's not tender!
"Your Majesty......" Wu Sangui couldn't help but want to remind him again, but before he finished speaking, Emperor Chongzhen interrupted: "Okay, I know what Qing is worried about." Liaodong, I didn't come back so quickly. At this time, it is estimated that the Mongolian cavalry troops everywhere have not yet received the news. What we still have is time. After the hussar battalion is turned back, we will continue the crusade according to the plan! ”
"Your Majesty, I don't know when the hussar camp will arrive?" The Jinyi Guard, who was also eating roast beef on the side, commanded Tongzhi Wu Zhong, and couldn't help but interject and said, "What if the Naman side already knows the news and runs away?" ”
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he smiled again and said: "Under the surprise of the hussar camp, the fat sheep of the Horqin tribe will definitely be able to be slaughtered." If what I expected, I will be able to meet tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, with the strength after the combined army, there will be no problem in directly sweeping away the Naman and Ao Han tribes. It's all rest assured, it's rare to let go of your stomach and eat beef and mutton, hurry up and eat it! Otherwise, when I return to the Guannai, I won't have the blessing to eat beef and mutton every day! ”
Mutton is actually fine, but beef is really rare. Like cutting a few catties of beef at every turn in later film and television dramas, that's pure! For the farming people, the cow is a treasure.
Seeing that the emperor said it so easily, the worry in Wu Sangui's heart lightened a little. However, the emperor is with him, if something happens, he will die without redemption, and the responsibility is still very large, so if he no longer worries, it is impossible.
But after Wu Zhong listened, he stopped talking, ate in a big gulp, and was even in the mood to discuss with the emperor how about this barbecue technique.
For him, the previous past has proved that the emperor's words are absolutely right, so he has nothing to worry about.
Wu Sangui ate a few more bites, but still had no appetite, so he went down to distribute it and didn't collect it at night, and sent it a little farther away, and went to the Horqin pasture to have a look, if only he could receive the hussar camp.
Sure enough, Emperor Chongzhen was not right at all, in the middle of the night, the Beijing camp and the hussar camp were contacted. After the sky was bright, the chief soldiers of the hussar battalion, He Renlong and Hu Dawei, were already in front of the palace.
"Your Majesty, the Horqin tribe is really fat, and there are beef and mutton that can't be brought back, so they can only be thrown into the river." When He Renlong saw Emperor Chongzhen, the first sentence after the salute was so emotional.
Hu Dawei did the same, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "The pastures of the Horqin tribe are almost the best in eastern Mongolia, and the pastures designated for them by the captives are large. If it goes on like this, it is impossible for the Horqin tribe to be the largest tribe in the eastern grassland in the future! ”
Of course, he didn't know that in the original history, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not allow any tribe to be far stronger than other tribes, even if it was like the Horqin tribe and the Aixin Jueluo family, you marry me, and I married you, all kinds of complicated relationships were also suppressed by the Manchu Qing, and the strength was never much stronger than other tribes.
When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he didn't need to ask for details, he knew that they had rich results, so he smiled and said: "Okay, Qing and the others will rest for half a day, and then let's go to find trouble with the Naiman clan together!" ”
In this way, half a day later, more than 15,000 Ming cavalry troops, under the leadership of Emperor Chongzhen, set off in a mighty manner.
When sweeping the Naiman clan, there was something unexpected by Emperor Chongzhen.
It was the Naiman tribe who already knew that the Ming army was on a large-scale crusade against the tribes of the steppe, so they left the old and weak in the tribe, and they didn't even accept the yurt, so they drove the cattle, horses and sheep to the north.
In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen was not too surprised, and immediately let Wu Sangui lead the army to pursue. Anyway, after sweeping the Kulun and Horqin tribes, one person can be equipped with three horses, at this speed, there is nothing to say.
And Emperor Chongzhen himself led the rest of the cavalry, carrying the spoils of war, and continued to surround the Ao Han tribe.
…………
Besides, Jin Guofeng's subordinates cautiously returned south, but they really didn't see the pursuers of Jianyu and the Mongol coalition army, which made them can't help but be bold, and the speed of returning south is faster. Every single one of them, including Jin Guofeng himself, didn't want to stay that far north.
On this day, they were resting, and suddenly, they saw the night that had been sent out galloping back.
"Report, Dashuai, I found that a large group of people from the tribe are coming!"
Hearing this, Jin Guofeng was a little surprised, so he hurriedly asked: "How many people are there in the tribe?" How many elites are there? ”
The others also reacted subconsciously, a little frightened, staring at the night who returned the reward.
"Hui Dashuai, there are about seven or eight thousand people, of which there are about two thousand elites......"
The people of the Mongolian tribe, as long as they can ride horses, can shoot arrows, and can be considered warriors, so they only need to count the heads.
When they heard that there were so many people, including two thousand elites, everyone was frightened. If they had just arrived in the grassland, they would not be afraid. However, they had been on the run for so long, and they were already a tired army, and they couldn't fight the elite tribal army at all. Otherwise, even if they can win, they will definitely suffer heavy losses, not to mention, the total number of troops on the opposite side will reach seven or eight thousand.
Thinking like this, even if they don't like the north anymore, their lives are important after all, so many people want to flee north first.
Even Jin Guofeng is measuring this in his heart.
However, at this moment, they were a little surprised that night without continuing to speak, and they only heard him say: "...... However, they were all driving cattle, horses, and sheep, and they looked as if there were pursuers behind them. ”
"What?" When Jin Guofeng heard this, he immediately asked with a little surprise, "You mean, there are chasing soldiers behind?" But my Ming army? ”
He had always remembered in his heart what the Governor had said before he set out, so he thought of it at the first time.
"Back to Dashuai, this is just a speculation of his subordinates, I don't know if it's true or not!"
When Jin Guofeng heard this, he just groaned slightly, and immediately said: "Let's go, Ben Shuai will go over and take a look in person!" ”
This would be a bit risky, but he knew very well in his heart that if this tired army fled north, if it didn't happen, the army's mind would change, and something big would happen. If it was really the Ming army chasing behind, maybe they would be able to make a contribution.
However, the son of Gulu Siqibu was a little worried, and immediately reminded: "Dashuai, could this be a conspiracy of Jianyu?" ”
The strength of Jianyu can be said to have left a deep impression on the Mongol tribes. Therefore, the people on the grassland are most afraid of Jianjiao. Otherwise, the Great Khan of the Mongolian steppe in the past, at least Lin Dan Khan, who nominally ruled the steppe, would not have fled.
"In this way, Ben Shuai has to go and see for himself." Jin Guofeng listened, nodded and said, "Ben Shuai has an intuition, it should be the Governor who made a move!" ”
After saying that, he rode away under the leadership of Ye Bu Hui.
The son of Gulu Siqibu was a little unconvinced, his tribe was the closest to the pass, and he knew how much the total strength of the Ming army in the Ningjin area was.
The people found before must be from the Naiman tribe, and if the Ming army appears in this place, at least the Ao Han tribe must be defeated first, but Ning Jin's cavalry is already here, and when the infantry army reaches the grassland, how can it be possible to drive the people of the tribe to flee for their lives?
Whatever he thinks, he thinks it's wrong!
If it were possible, he really wanted to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, during this time, he was chased by the Qing Dynasty like a dog, which has proved that the Qing Dynasty is still so powerful!
However, the old and young of the entire tribe are now in the Guannei, and in the hands of the Ming army, they can't surrender to the Qing Dynasty!
Thinking like this, he complained about him again in his heart, and was worried that something would happen to Jin Guofeng, so he followed.
…………
Jin Guofeng lay on his stomach in the grass, observing from the flank and shouting horses from the distance. Ye Bushu is right, there are indeed seven or eight thousand people, driving cattle, horses and sheep all the way to the north, and the people of all tribes are on high alert, as if they can fight at any time.
"Dashuai, could it be that he was afraid of running into us, so he took such precautions?" The son of Guruskib lay beside him and said to him a little worriedly.
Jin Guofeng shook his head, already had a grasp in his heart, and said to him: "Look carefully, most of them turn their heads to look back from time to time, are they worried about us?" It must be worried about the chasing soldiers, Ben Shuai thinks that it must be the work of the Governor! ”
When Gulu Siqibu's son heard this, he always felt that it was Jin Guofeng's wishful thinking. But at this moment, I saw that the people of this tribe, those who were left behind, actually abandoned their cattle, horses and sheep, and raised their horses to the north. led other people, and they also abandoned their cattle, horses and sheep, and began to flee north.
Yes, that's right, it's an escape! Getting this conclusion, Jin Guofeng became excited, turned his head to look at Gulu Siqibu's son, and when he really wanted to speak, he saw Gulu Siqibu's son pointing to the south with his finger, and said with a very surprised look on his face: "Red...... Red Cavalry, this ...... This is the Ming cavalry, right? ”
As soon as he heard this, Jin Guofeng didn't care about speaking, and quickly turned his head to look.
Sure enough, in the distance of sight, a red line was already visible, and it was heading towards the fleeing tribes, like wolves on the grassland, hunting, surrounding a flock of sheep.
Jin Guofeng was overjoyed, and jumped up and said loudly: "Quick, the whole army is assembled, and I will go to help my comrades!" ”
When the son of Guru Siqibu heard this, he was also pleased, and this opportunity to beat the water dogs was a very good opportunity to reap the credit, and he immediately agreed. At this time, what is the surrender to Jianyu, bullshit!
As a result, the Naiman people who fled for their lives were tragic.
There were pursuers later, and suddenly there was a high-morale Ming army in front, the one they had chased before, and no one thought about resisting at all, just scattered and fled.
Fighting with ease, making everyone, including the tribal coalition side, laugh.
The two armies met, and Jin Guofeng suddenly realized when he saw it. The leader of the army is Wu Sangui, who he knows belongs to the people of Jingying. In other words, it was the emperor who came, not the governor?
Thinking like this, he couldn't help but be excited in his heart, so he hurriedly confirmed it with Wu Sangui.
As a result, the 5,000 coalition troops who fled north and died for many days all erupted in cheers.
It turned out that the Ming Emperor personally led the army to the grassland to crusade against the Jianyu allies, and he had already taken the nest of the Kulun and Horqin tribes, and now even the Naiman tribe was finished.
"Daming Wansheng!"
"Long live the emperor!"
“……”
At this time, the son of Gulu Siqibu admired him very much, which was really prescient. Jianyu is already a yellow flower of tomorrow, hugging Daming's thighs, it's really right.
Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect to meet Jin Guofeng's department, so he immediately praised him and rewarded him again. In this war, Jin Guofeng's department should take the first credit.
Then, the army converged, and the strength reached more than 20,000 people, and swept through the Ao Han tribe in a mighty manner.
