Huang Han's return to Tiger's Den City was already the beginning of August, and the vigorous autumn harvest began within a few days.

Grain is too important, ensuring that the grain is returned to the warehouse is the theme of this time, the military, civilians, and workers worked together, and it took more than half a month to finish.

Now that the "Red Banner Army" is strong, strong, rich and has enough money and food, Huang Han began to ponder about making some cattle and sheep for the welfare of the New Year, and after a small year of pulling nets on the east side of the Yanshan Mountain Range, the Tartars have given up the range within 100 miles west of the western Liaoning corridor.

But only these Huang Han think that it is far from enough, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly on the side of the couch?

It is time to launch a fierce offensive to completely control the area from Ningyuan to the west of the Shanhaiguan section of the Liaoxi Corridor, where no Tartars are allowed, and if there are herdsmen of other nationalities who can only be dead Tartars or return to the Yellow Han Dynasty and graze cattle, sheep and horses for the "Red Banner Army".

Tartars are not good birds, Chahar and Tumut's Taiji also sent troops to blackmail the Ming in the spring, and in the autumn General Pingliao decided to push the gun carriage to have a good chat with them and teach these barbarians etiquette.

Huang Yizhou, the chief military officer of Ningyuan, and Huang Han, the general of Pingliao, the general of Qizhen, jointly played and sent it to the heavens.

The content is roughly like this, Gaotaibao was attacked by Tartars of unknown tribes, more than 1,000 stone of wheat had just been harvested, more than 50 casualties were killed and wounded by the garrison army, more than 300 people were plundered, and dozens of large livestock were robbed.

The two commanders decided to jointly send troops to the steppe to retaliate against the Tartars, recapture the captured population and livestock, and prepare to send 15,000 troops.

Huang Han also clarified that the vast majority of these 15,000 men and horses were recruits, and the purpose of selecting Tartars, who were weaker than Jiannu's combat effectiveness, to start the war was to let the recruits get experience and strive to make them all see blood.

The Son of Heaven saw the song, and after thinking about it, he thought that the courage of the two chief officers of Huangyizhou, father and son, was commendable, and he felt that it would be great to let the recruits go to the prairie to fight against the Tartars who were not strong in combat to achieve the effect of training soldiers with war.

The Ministry of War received the letter of request, several officers were a little excited, the example of the border general taking the initiative to ask for war has not happened for a long time, and the Huang family's father and son actually launched a war of 15,000 men and horses is really happy.

At the court meeting, when the court was discussing, the emperor openly asked the ministers, and suddenly everyone had different opinions.

But no one thinks that the two chief military officers of Huang Han and Huang Yizhou have stirred up side affairs without authorization, because Tartar is the old enemy of the Ming Dynasty, and he has repeatedly plundered in recent years.

Hudun Rabbit is unruly, he is Lin Dan Khan, who was beaten by Jiannu in history and lost his wife, and the master of Houjin Honglu and a few Baylors divided many of Lin Dan Khan's blessings, and most of his men and horses became Mengbaqi.

This kid nominally united with the Ming Dynasty to fight against Jiannu, but in essence, he had already moved west to avoid stumbling with the Houjin army, and he had been asking for benefits from the Ming Dynasty who had been too busy to take care of himself over the years, and often acquiesced in the cavalry under his command to plunder.

Therefore, Huang Han's fabricated report that Gaotai Fort was attacked by the Tartars and suffered a lot of losses, and the ministers of the imperial court were convinced.

Under normal circumstances, when losses occur within the territory, civilian, military and military generals are able to conceal them and not report them as much as possible, and there is no new thing that the whole world shouts that the jurisdiction has been attacked by the enemy and the losses are not small.

With their own lives, the civil and military generals of the imperial court are speculating in their hearts that the reason why Huang Yizhou's father and son are anxious is that it is possible that the actual loss is ten times or dozens of times.

No one thought that Huang Han was unwilling to let the soldiers slack off, and he had to wage war every year so that everyone could get the opportunity to go to the battlefield, and also to go to the prairie to grab cattle and sheep at their fingertips to give benefits to the military and civilians for the New Year.

It's a good thing that the border general took the initiative to request an attack! The high and resourceful performance of the military is clearly written, and the battle is well prepared, and the chances of victory will be assured.

Liaodong Jingluo Gaodi has already given his approval, and he will spare no effort to support the "Red Banner Army" in the westward expedition to Mongolia to recapture the looted population, and ask the Ministry of War for approval to launch the autumn offensive.

Originally, the border army of the Ming Dynasty would go out of the customs in the autumn to burn the wasteland, and drive the Tartars to migrate north, the purpose of which was to destroy the grassland near the border wall, so as not to cause the Tartars to refuse to stay away because the grassland outside the border wall would grow too well.

Finally, the emperor was happy and a little worried when he finally saw that he took the initiative to ask for war and did not ask the court to send additional troops and grain and grass.

The main force of the "Red Banner Army" is going west, will there be any omissions in the Ningjin defense line? He opened his mouth and asked Ji Qunchen, and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is really hateful for the Tartars to attack Gaotai Fort and kill our soldiers and civilians, and the two chief military officers of Huangyizhou, father and son, joined forces to kill the grassland and return a tooth for a tooth, which will definitely be a good story! It's just that I don't know if the Ningjin defense line and Jinzhou defense line are stable? ”

The old father-in-law Zheng Guochang has received a letter from Huang Han, he knows that his son-in-law today is not the same as the strength of two years ago, and it is effortless to break into the steppe of the Tartar to break a few tribes, but it is a little difficult to find the Tartar.

The son-in-law said frankly that Ningyuan's defense line was impregnable, and Jiannu did not dare to come at all, if he did not encounter an attack by the Guanning army along the way, Gao Di would immediately go to Shutian to impeach Zu Dashou for passive slackness, and deliberately let Jiannu pass through the defense area.

There is no problem with the Jinzhou defense line, and the failure there is only a heavy loss of the "Red Banner Army", and the imperial court is indifferent at all, after all, it is separated from the Ming Dynasty by the sea, and Jiannu has no sailors.

The emperor opened his mouth to ask, and Zheng Guochang, who was specially notified of the previous dynasty, was immediately watched by many civil and military generals. The affairs of the son-in-law's family should be clearer than other courtiers, and everyone wants to hear Zheng Guochang's opinion.

"Your Majesty, the old minister dares to be a guarantee, and the old minister thinks that the 'Red Flag Army' will make another move to capture the flag and establish meritorious deeds." Sure enough, Zheng Guochang opened his mouth and said that his son-in-law could fight and win.

He continued: "If Jiannu takes the opportunity to attack Ningyuan, it will be harmless, it should just give the Guan Ning army a chance to gain great merit by attacking Jiannu with the fortifications. As for the Golden State defensive line, it is actually not the focus there, and it is useless for Jiannu to seize Golden State. ”

Oh, yes! To fight Ningyuan, you have to pass through a series of fortresses garrisoned by the Guanning army such as Jinzhou, Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan, etc., which the Ming Dynasty spent a huge amount of money to support, and Zu Dashou dared to ignore it?

Sun Yuanhua was finally left alive by the emperor, and Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, had already regarded Huang Han as an object to fight for, and of course he would help Zheng Guochang speak at this time.

Zhou Yanru played: "The father and son of the Huang family are good at leading troops, and the Huang Han, who was only a guerrilla general the year before last, only had two or three thousand men and horses who could fight into the prairie and defeat the Tartars for thousands of miles.

Now General Pingliao and General Ningyuan, who have been appointed as the chief military officer, jointly dispatched 15,000 men and horses, and the minister thought that no Tatar could stop the army. Your Majesty can rest assured that Huang Han and his son will launch an attack, and the direction of the attack can be decided by the main general. ”
