Chapter 233: Selling Yourself for Glory

The Tatar Khanate was largely divided into two main parts.

It is bounded by the Mogu Desert and is divided into the Southern Tatar and the Northern Tatar.

Among them, Mobei Tatar is the main body, and it is also the location of the Tatar tooth tent.

The tooth tent, which is the common name of the royal court, is currently located in Qinglong Mansion.

Monan Tatar was close to this part of the Great German Empire.

Under the Khan, there were two assistants, the king of the northern courtyard and the king of the southern courtyard.

The king of the North Courtyard is in charge of Mobei. The king of the Southern Courtyard is in charge of Monan.

The king of the north courtyard is stationed in Qinglong Mansion, and the king of the south courtyard is stationed in Heishui City.

Heishui City is only 200 miles away from Dade's Ping'an Prefecture.

The cavalry rushed and could arrive in one day.

However, although there have been minor disputes in the past two years, there has been basically no large-scale war in the area of Pyongan Prefecture because it is an important mutual center.

Large-scale wars took place mainly in the Shanshui Pass area near the east.

Although Dade took a defensive position, the city was strong, and there were many firearms and cannons, and the Tatars were helpless against the Shanshui Pass.

The two sides are largely at a standoff.

Xia Banshan and Jia Lian walked together and arrived in Ping'an Prefecture.

After staying in Ping'an Prefecture for three days, he continued to the north, and finally arrived at Blackwater City, where he met Babur, the king of the Southern Courtyard of Tatar, in the palace of the Great King of the Southern Courtyard.

"Meet the King."

Xia Banshan put his hand on his chest and bowed.

"Haha, Mr. Xia, my friend, you are welcome to come here after a hard journey."

"Early this morning, I heard larks singing in the trees at the door, and I thought there must be good news. Sure enough, you're here. ”

"Is there any good news for me?"

"I have brought a lot of news, whether it is good news or not, I have to ask the king to identify."

"Haha, as long as you bring the news, it's good news. Come on, come on, please take a seat, milk tea! ”

Babur helped Xia Banshan's back and asked him to sit on the carpet, and the two began to drink milk tea.

The two spoke Tatar, and although Xia Banshan's Tatar was not very fluent, he was also quite accomplished, and there was no problem with normal communication.

Regarding the capture of Butler and Tug, Xia Banshan did not hide it and told Babur truthfully.

This is so for two reasons.

One is that he rescued two people by himself, and he wanted to use this to ask Babur for credit.

Even if there is no reward, Babur owes himself a favor.

The second is that he believes that the Tatars have other fine works in the capital of Dade, and it is impossible to hide this matter.

If he doesn't say it, Babur may doubt his loyalty.

Of course, he also wanted to take the opportunity to show off his skills.

After all, not many people can do this kind of thing.

"Although the information is searched by them, it is good to rescue the people."

"The king doesn't have to regret it, I brought the information back."

Xia Banshan took out a few pieces of cloth from the blanket, which contained information on the route of the march from Tatar to the capital city of Dadeshen, the passes, cities, and garrisons along the way.

"I left a special copy, that is, this information was searched by the Dade people, and it doesn't matter."

Babur looked at it for a moment, then put it down silently.

"Although the information has been brought back, it has been exposed, and the Dade people already know this information, but I am afraid that they will be on guard."

"Don't worry, they don't believe we will attack their capital."

"I don't believe it, but it's a long way to go, and it's impossible for the army to hide its whereabouts, and they're bound to find out. There were many interceptions along the way, and it was also very troublesome. ”

"Although there are a lot of Dade soldiers and horses, wherever our army goes, there will not be many interceptions."

"Oh? Why? ”

"First, although Dade claims to have a large number of soldiers, most of them are bluffs. In fact, there are a lot of vacancies in their soldiers and horses in various places. ”

"It is said that there are 10,000 soldiers and horses, but in fact there are 5,000 or 6,000. The rest were empty and were designed to defraud military pay. ”

"Even these five or six thousand soldiers and horses, less than half of them can fight, and when they meet the king's iron cavalry, few people will fight to the death, most of them flee when they hear the wind."

"Second, Dade is mainly an infantry army, and most of the war horses that have passed from us are bad horses, not good horses."

"Third, most of the great military generals are afraid of death and blindly accumulate wealth. The treatment of soldiers was extremely harsh, and the deduction of military salaries abounded. Many soldiers can't even eat enough, hate the generals, and will not give the generals their lives to the death. ”

"Fourth, the officers and men of the Great German are lacking in training, their morale is low, and their combat effectiveness is far inferior to that of our Tatar athletes. We beat all three of them one by one, and it was more than enough. ”

"Fifth, the officers and soldiers of Great Virtue bully their defenseless people, each like a wolf and a tiger. But if you really tell them to fight with us, few of them dare to fight, so they can only cower in the city. If we don't attack the city, they will thank God, where are the few who dare to go out of the city to intercept? ”

"Therefore, as long as we send troops, we will drive straight in, coming and going as if we were in a no-man's land."

"The Gyeonggi Naoli area is one of the richest areas in Daedeok, where there are many grains, people, livestock, and artisans, and they can be snatched at will."

"Now the royal family of Dade and the minister of civil and military affairs only know how to compete for power and profit, blindly accumulate wealth, and desperately squeeze the people."

"The people have long hated them, and no people will help their officers and soldiers."

"In the northwest of Dade, because of the oppression of officials and big households, coupled with natural disasters, the people have been displaced, there are displaced people everywhere, and the rogues have been in turmoil, and the Dade court has been anxious and has lost the other."

Xia Banshan came out one by one, and Babur was secretly frightened when he heard it.

He also knew this information before.

However, combined with the specific action of attacking Dade, the analysis is so profound and organized, Xia Banshan is still the first.

Because of natural disasters, the Tatars are currently having a hard time.

Many tribal leaders have already asked for war and want to go south to plunder. It was only because he was worried about the fierce resistance of the great virtue that Babur hesitated.

Now that he has listened to Xia Banshan's words, he has gradually strengthened his confidence in going south.

In the past, the battlefields were not far from the territory of Dade.

These places are sparsely populated, and the people of Dade are more experienced. As soon as they got the letter, they ran away.

Valuable things such as grain and livestock are also hidden in peacetime, and they are fortified in wartime. So, there is very little benefit to be gained in these places.

Now, Babur has strengthened his confidence to go deep into the territory of Dade and plunder near the capital of Dade.

Capturing the capital of Dade was not his main goal.

He also knew that with his current strength, unless he gave up the lives of more than 100,000 people, he did not have the ability to capture Shenjing City at present.

But in that case, I lost my old book.

The final result was that the king of the North Courtyard came to accept his stall and became the king of the North Courtyard.

He wouldn't do such a thing.

Just as Xia Banshan was talking to Babur, three people came in.
