Chapter Fifty-Nine: A Natural Military Genius
Name: Tsakhan Timur;
Gender: Male;
Ancestral hometown: Beiting (now Jimusarbei, Xinjiang);
Family members: Temporary confidentiality (as I will say later, this person is the same as his Lao Tzu, he is a fierce man);
Historical achievements: Studying Confucianism since childhood, he was a scholar and was famous in the township.
In the face of the incompetence of the Yuan army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, as a steppe wolf of the same blood and the same steppe, Chakhan Timur was extremely dissatisfied with the various defeats of the Yuan army in suppressing the rebel army.
As a steppenwolf, he couldn't figure out how such a chaotic situation could have been caused today.
Where did the steppe wolf that once commanded the storm, the steel army that once called for wind and rain, and the iron-blooded scimitar that terrified the yellow-haired devils of northern Russia in the past.
If the former Khan Temujin had been alive, the steel army under his command would never have caused such a chaotic scene.
What are the reasons for today's passive situation?
Is it because the use of people is not good, or has the power of the Han and Nan people increased, or has the soldiers and horses who once walked all over the motherland degenerated?
As the heir of Confucianism, Chakhan Timur felt that the most fundamental problem was still in the employment of people, and the current officials of the Yuan Dynasty were too lazy and turned a blind eye to the rebel army, which was the biggest root cause.
Faced with today's chaotic world, and facing the almost desperate Yuan Dynasty government, Chakhan Timur, who was of steppe wolf blood, decided not to sit idly by.
The persimmon is pinched first with the soft one, and the hard one is gnawed on the bones.
Since you have given me this opportunity to make a name for myself, then I will use you first.
In the face of this excellent opportunity, Chakhan Timur, who had already made sufficient preparations, had already plotted against the forces of hundreds of landlords, and with the tens of thousands of family fortunes accumulated in the hands of the landlords, he quickly gathered a group of anti-Red forces in Henan, calling himself "volunteers." Under the impetus of money to make ghosts push and grind, they combined with the geoist soldiers organized by Li Siqi, a warden in Luoshan County, Henan Province (similar to the head of the police station at the lowest level) in Henan Province, to form an anti-Red Righteous Army and defeat the Red Turban Army in Luoshan County in one fell swoop.
After defeating the Red Turban Army in Luoshan County, Chakhan Timur, as the commander of the volunteers, pursued the victory and defeated a small part of the Red Turban Army in Hebei and Henan.
At this time, when the whole country was in turmoil and armed forces were swarming from all over the country, the Yuan government, as the supreme ruling class, had become accustomed to the rising and merging red regime, and had adapted to being content with their appearance, and they had been immersed in extravagant pleasures, they were completely blind and deaf, and they were also helpless against the rapidly growing resistance forces.
In the past, no matter how arrogant and domineering you were, my iron cavalry will definitely crush you's heroic spirit has long been exhausted by wine and women, at this time they seem to have thought of sending troops to suppress it, but in the face of the generals who have been drained by women, anesthetized by wine, tired of playing with gold and silver, and ruined by viagra, they are no longer the iron-blooded scimitars that used to be golden guns and stand unyielding, at this time they have become weak and decadent, let them vent their original beastliness on women in front of beauties, and they may be able to barely maintain it with medicinal properties, But there is no longer any possibility of conquest for them to cross their horses and raise their swords to fight in all directions.
This is equivalent to standing on the stage as a boss of the aristocracy, shouting at the brothers who have been smoked by the woman all night; Brothers, stand up, let us say goodbye to women, away from wine, and once again gallop across our horses and swords on the battlefield, and once again raise the iron-blooded scenery of my steppe wolf.
In the face of their boss's almost high-pitched speech, as the younger brothers, they were blind, their hands were playing the board and their legs were weak, and their hoarse voices replied: Boss, you can spare us, if you want us to go to the kiln to play with women, we will come with you, and let us carry knives and cross the battlefield on horseback, I'm sorry, boss, we won't do it.
We can't reach the ideological realm of this kind of life and death if you don't accept it, if you want to find someone else, don't look for us, this headless business has nothing to do with us.
If you are impatient and want to die early, please take care of yourself, and take our brothers to your funeral with you if you have nothing to do.
At this time, facing the army that has rotted to the roots, they seem to have only one hope, hoping that some fairy sister will help them through this catastrophe.
In this almost extreme situation, Chakhan Timur unexpectedly appeared.
The appearance of Chakhan Timur was sudden, and it was even more unexpected for them.
The politicians, who were the supreme rulers of the Yuan Dynasty, really did not expect that the Red Turban Army, which had been in a lot of trouble in Henan, would be wiped out overnight, and the remaining remnants of the army would begin to flee in all directions, and all this credit came from a man named Chakhan Timur.
Who was Chakhan Timur?
It doesn't seem to have this name on the records of his own officials!
What kind of work is this Chakhan Timur?
In the midst of the jaw-dropping, at the moment when the four eyes were relatively dazed, he had fully understood that Chakhan Timur, who was completely born in mud legs and was not a native of pure royal blood, had become Anda who saved himself from danger.
At this time, it seems that everything does not need to be argued anymore, at this critical moment, as a non-own brother but closer than his own father, the Yuan Dynasty officials immediately ordered the promotion of Chahan Timur to the Zhongshun doctor, the official residence is the fourth grade, and awarded Li Siqi as the prefect of Runing Prefecture.
Commanding the security and defense of Hebei and Henan provinces.
In order to promote this absolutely beneficial political plan, the Yuan government ordered the establishment of the Volunteer Soldier Wanhu Mansion and Mao Hulu (similar to our current militia organization) in Henan, and issued an order that all volunteers who participated in the Wanhu Mansion were exempt from taxation.
There is only one purpose for this, and that is to prevent them from defecting to the arms of the Red Turban Army.
Roughly speaking, it means: Even if I can't use it, the group of people who are rebelling now and don't know what death is.
Anyway, whoever sells for life is a life, and in this bastard year, I will listen to whoever gives me money.
As a result, there was the temptation of Chakhan Timur's real money and silver on the left, and the tax incentives of the Yuan Dynasty government on the right, and under the impetus of this dual interest, Chakhan Timur's power rapidly expanded to 10,000 horses.
After all the soldiers, horses, and money and food were in place, Chakhan Timur, who had already thickened his head and hardened his waist and his pole, and had both money and wealth, organized volunteers to form an army of his own, and led his troops to be stationed in Shenqiu (now Shenqiu County, Zhoukou City, Henan Province), and faced the Red Turban Army of the puppet leader Han Lin'er Longfeng who was stationed in Bianliang, Henan Province (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province, the ancient capital of the Song Dynasty).
In the following two years, he repeatedly fought with Liu Futong, who really held real power under the Longfeng regime, and achieved success, and successively recovered Guanzhong (Shaanxi), Shanxi and Bianliang (Henan) from the hands of the Red Turban Army.
In the face of the attack of the rebel army, Han Lin'er, as the supreme ruler of the Longfeng regime, took the initiative to give up Bianliang, the most important strategic base, in order to save his life, and retreated to Anfeng to take all possible measures.
After Chakhan Timur took Bianliang, the morale of the volunteers who resisted the Red Forces was greatly boosted, because the influence of Bianliang at that time was too great, and the capital of the Red Turban Army Dragon and Phoenix regime was set up in Bianliang.
Once this place is breached, it will be equivalent to the collapse of the Red Turban military regime, which was the largest at the time.
In the face of the rapid plunder, in the face of the most rampant Xiaoming king Han Lin'er in the central region, the nest of the dragon and phoenix regime was ended, at this time the Yuan Dynasty government felt that Chakhan Timur was a rare talent, like a cockroach that could not kill Xiaoqiang's goods in Henan and other places for a few years, and actually successively seized the ancient capital of the Song Dynasty Bianliang and the Qin Dynasty capital Guanzhong area and other important cities, they felt that they had won a complete victory in terms of strategy, and they decided to add officials to Chahan Timur.
Feng Chahan Timur is the secretary of the military department of Zhongshu Province and the doctor of Jiayi (deputy secretary of the Ministry of Rites), ranking in the third grade.
In recognition of his exploits, the Yuan government put the Yuan troops originally stationed in Henan, Shaanxi and Shanxi under his command, and at the same time, in order to guard against the rebellion of Chakhan Timur, he let the loss of Badulu (this character is like the role of the prince held by Wang Gang in "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon") exercise the power of military command.
The basic position is equivalent to answering the loss of Badulu as the army commander and Chakhan Timur as the deputy commander, in short, it means that Chakhan Timur, a completely mud-legged boy who does not know the specific foundation, let alone what his temperament is, cannot be allowed to control the actual control of the army.
After taking Bianliang, hearing the news of internal strife within the Red Turban Army in Shandong, Chakhan Timur, who had already won several victories and was full of confidence, decisively ordered a fierce attack on the Shandong Peninsula.
In the attack of the newborn calf who is not afraid of the tiger, and the fighting spirit is already full of fighting spirit after successive victories, this surprise attack on Shandong is bound to be fierce.
Whoever has always been based on money as the motto, I will work for whoever gives me more money, under the influence of the idea that the righteous army has been attacking like a tiger against the Red Turban Army that is scattered and scattered, this sudden ferocious force The Red Turban Army is completely unable to resist, in the face of the almost slaughtering attack of the righteous army, in this military crusade that is completely out of the army, most of the Red Turban Army in Shandong began to retreat rapidly.
With the remnants of the Red Turban Army scattering everywhere, Chakhan Timur, who was afraid that the spark could ignite the plains, decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue.
Chakhan Timur, who took it as his military motto to fight hard and then decline three times, had already seized the speculation, and he led the Yuan army to carry out a bloody purge of the remaining forces on the Shandong Peninsula.
At this time, an unfortunate thing happened, because when Shandong was in a critical situation, the defenders of the Red Turban Army who were originally stationed in various departments of Shandong saw the almost crazy attack of the Yuan Army, and the elders of the Red Turban Army, who were already afraid, decided to temporarily abandon their prejudices and gather in Jinan to discuss countermeasures.
It was in this structural eye that Chakhan Timur led his troops to besiege Jinan.
At this time, Jinan City is like a pocket, a sack that has been tightly tied and trapped people, as long as the stick is raised, they can send them back to the west at any time, and the sack contains the bosses of each hall who can influence the situation in Shandong.
In the face of the wolf-like Yuan army, the bosses of the halls, who have been trapped in the city like the king in the pot, are helpless.
For this almost happy jackpot experience in Jinan, they also tried to force a breakthrough by organizing the soldiers in the city, but they obviously underestimated the strength of Chakhan Timur, and several breakthroughs ended in failure.
And Chakhan Timur, as the commander-in-chief, did not seem to have the intention of forcibly breaking the city, let alone wanting to kill this group of bosses in one fell swoop in the other party's breakthrough, but surrounded them and trapped them without fighting.
He's waiting, he's playing, he's waiting for a bunch of people to show up, he's playing another game.
This group of people is none other than the younger brothers of these cousins.
Faced with the fact that their boss was trapped, they will inevitably go all out to counterattack and break the siege.
Since they want to break the siege, then I'll wait here for the rabbit.
In the military offensive on the Shandong Peninsula, when facing the Red Turban Army fleeing in all directions and not knowing what the main force was, Chakhan Timur adopted the strategic plan of encircling the points and sending reinforcements, first leading the main force to besiege Jinan but not fighting, and then sending the rest of the troops to carry out military clearance of the Red Turban Army forces in other small areas.
This kind of business is like giving away for nothing, if you don't make it for nothing, you don't make it for nothing, it's a fool to make me cheap or not, and at the same time, you can earn a good deal from him, and you must not waste it.
So, Chakhan Timur, who had already made a bureau arrangement, waited for the arrival of the rebels, and then made dumplings for the rebels.
After clearing the outer obstacles, Jinan, which had been besieged for three months, was conquered by the Yuan army.
After the Yuan army conquered Jinan, Chakhan Timur did not go on a killing spree, and in the face of killing and political surrender, it seems that Chakhan Timur, who was born as a military strategist, did not choose the military violence he had always liked, but chose the latter.
On the ground of Shandong, for a native leopard who was unfamiliar with his own life, supporting a puppet regime seemed to be the wisest choice for Chakhan Timur.
Therefore, after the city of Jinan was broken, Chakhan Timur considered that Tian Feng and Wang Shicheng had occupied Shandong for a long time, and most of the soldiers and civilians were attached to him, so he wrote a letter to prepare to strategically appease Tian Feng.
At this time, Tian Feng and Wang Shicheng, the two commanders of the Red Turban Army, who knew that confession, leniency, resistance, and strictness were facing the fact that the city was broken, and the two of them who were not afraid of running out of firewood were the two who were not afraid of leaving Qingshan to accept his surrender after Chakhan Timur entered the city.
At the same time, as a reward for being Chakhan Timur, the Yuan Dynasty government made Chakhan Timur the Zhongshu Pingzhang political affairs (the official position of the Yuan Dynasty, second only to the prime minister), and the Privy Council of Henan and Shandong, and still acted as the Shaanxi Xingtaichung Cheng (similar to the current provincial party secretary), and the official residence was from the first product (deputy first product).
