This time, Zhu Hongsan let go and let Ezhe exterminate the Karaqin Department was not untargeted, but the result of Zhu Hongsan's careful consideration. The reason is the same as what was said before, Mongolia is too big, too far away from the Central Plains Dynasty, and such a large place must be difficult to control, so Mongolia must be divided into several pieces. Of course, this split was not fundamentally classified, but artificially created several forces within the Mongol ruling class, but these forces were dominated by the Central Plains Dynasty.

Zhu Hongsan's strategy is somewhat like that of the United States in later generations, although the boss of the United States does not care about the internal affairs of your country, but if the boss has something to do, you have to send troops and money, and you junior brothers are not strong yet, and if you are strong, the boss will clean you up. For example, the EU in later generations is the two younger brothers of Germany and France, who put aside the boss's own things, and they would not have thought that the boss would immediately fall into crisis if the EU was a little engaged in Greece.

It is precisely this kind of ending that Zhu Hongsan hopes to achieve, and the two younger brothers selected are one of the Chahar Department and the other is the Horqin Department. One of these two tribes occupies the name, and although no one takes the name of the Mongol Great Khan of Ezhe seriously, the herdsmen at the bottom of the steppe still admit it, after all, Lin Dan Khan has become the co-lord of the steppe less than forty years ago.

The Horqin Department occupies the strength, and because Horqin followed the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it has developed rapidly for more than 40 years, and the entire Southern Mongolia and part of Northern Mongolia have to obey Horqin's orders. So these two tribes formed the basis of the future Mongolian upper ruling class. Zhu Hongsan even thought about their official names, Ezhe became the Mongolian Khan of the Golden Family, and Korqin served as the imperial master of the Mongolian Khan.

Zhu Hongsan is playing well now, but the strength of the Chahar tribe is too weak, and it has become a small tribe on the Mongolian steppe. In history, the Chahar Department was similar, and the emperors of the Qing Dynasty had to suppress the Chahar Department, divide and disintegrate, and finally at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Chahar Department was left with only a symbol, which completely became a geographical term.

In order to let the Chahar Department quickly grow in strength and reach the point of competing with Horqin, Zhu Hongsan naturally had to find a way for them. Therefore, the Karaqin Department in front of the annexation became the first choice.

The number of Karaqin troops is not too many, according to Zhu Hongsan's intelligence, the entire tribe is only more than 100,000 people, and there are only more than 30,000 soldiers.

When he heard that Zhu Hongsan had allowed him to annex Karaqin and increase his strength, he was very happy in his heart, and hurriedly returned to his camp to gather eight Taiji soldiers to recruit soldiers.

The Chahar Department and the Karaqin Department were feuding, and there was no need for mobilization at all, and the eight Taiji heard the news and agreed one after another, and it was easy to mobilize 10,000 soldiers. These 10,000 soldiers are the old capital of the Chahar Department, basically adult men between the ages of fifteen and forty, if Zhu Hongsan's eyes are not right, and he will give the Chahar Department a look behind his back, then Ezhe has no choice but to wield a knife and kill himself.

However, Zhu Hongsan is the son of heaven in the Ming Dynasty, and he has always been true to his word. The next morning, after Ezhe prepared his soldiers, the Ming army also divided a cavalry, led by the horse Zhao Hu, to join Ezhe.

Zhao Hu brought 5,000 cavalry, of which 2,000 were heavy cavalry. Each heavy cavalry was equipped with three horses, so the Ming army had only 5,000 men, but there were 10,000 war horses, and the mountains shook when they ran on the grassland.

When he saw the Ming army's 5,000 cavalry armor, he was speechless, he knew how much it cost the Central Plains Dynasty to raise a cavalry, but he didn't expect the Ming army to dispatch 5,000 this time, and he also had two horses, which was really rich.

When the Ming army arrived in front of him, Ezhe knew that he had seen it wrong, not one person with two horses, but one person with three horses, and the two thousand cavalry led by him were all one person and three horses, and the two horses behind him were carrying equipment.

Zhao Hu rode his Shire horse to Ezhe proudly, and the Shire horse was two meters tall at the shoulder, far higher than the Mongolian horse with an average shoulder height of one meter five or six. Zhao Hu rode on his horse and looked down at Ezhe and asked, "Ezhe, Your Majesty asked Ben to suppress the formation for you, you can lead the way!" ”

Ezhe scolded Zhao Hu in his heart, but what could he do? Now that the Ming army is much stronger than him, he still needs the Ming Dynasty to convene the Kuritai Conference for himself, so as to inherit the position of the Great Khan of Mongolia. There was no way, but he had to smile and said, "His Majesty the Emperor said that we can borrow the banner of your army, do you ask General Zhao to go first in front?" ”

Zhao Hu glanced at Ezhe, nodded and walked in front with five thousand cavalry, and Ezhe followed behind with ten thousand cavalry.

The Ming army camp is now less than a hundred miles away from Chifeng, and with the ground cannon of Ezhe leading the way, this Ming-Mongolian coalition army rushed to the periphery of Chifeng at noon.

With 20,000 horses and 15,000 soldiers, such a large marching procession was seen from thirty miles away. The scouts of Karaqin hurriedly spread the news to the Khan king Tuba Seleng. However, yesterday Bandar Shah came back and reported the situation, and also informed that an agreement had been reached with the Ming Dynasty, and the Karaqin Department was still nomadic in the Chifeng area in the future, and the most critical Ming Dynasty emperor had agreed to exchange markets with the Karaqin Department, so Tuba Seleng heard that the Ming Dynasty army was coming today, and thought that the Ming Dynasty emperor was visiting back.

Tuba Seleng asked his son Bandar Shah to prepare quickly, and then went out of the camp three miles to greet him, after all, the emperor of the Heavenly Empire, it was really not good for him not to greet him personally.

With 3,000 guards, Tuba Seleng rode horses and put on the most luxurious clothes, and came to Chifeng three miles away to wait for the Ming emperor.

When Tuba Seleng received the news, the Ming army was already thirty miles away from Chifeng, so as soon as Tuba Celeng arrived, he had already seen the Ming army banner on the horizon.

More than 20,000 people of the Ming army lined up in a row, walking slowly on the horizon of the grassland, Tuba Seleng pouted and said: "See, although the Ming army has a large number of people and good horses, it is not a material for fighting on horseback, it is so close to us that the scouts have not been sent, if we don't have good intentions to fight him, the Ming army will be defeated!" ”

The generals on the side were still holding stinky feet, and flattered: "This is natural, the Han people are naturally powerful in the Guan, are they outside the Guan!" It still depends on our Karaqin! ”

The distance between the Ming army is getting closer and closer, and Tuba Seleng can already see the general of the Ming army who is the leader, the big black man is so tall, and the horse he is riding is so big, it doesn't seem to be a Mongolian horse. At this time, Tuba Seleng had already seen that the more than 1,000 soldiers of the Ming Army in front of him were not armor-piercing at all, and they did not have the weapon in their hands, and they were even more relieved to see this way.

In order to show respect, Tuba Seleng walked slowly with 3,000 escorts, but when he was 500 meters away from the Ming army brigade, the Ming army's flag changed, and a Sulu ingot was erected in the rear of the Ming army. Tuba Seleng was shocked to see that the Sulu ingot was pure white in color, and the only one who dared to decorate the Sulu ingot with a pure white yak oxtail on the entire grassland was the Chahar family.

Tuba Seleng knew that the big thing was not good, it seemed that he had fallen into the trap of the Ming army, but he didn't expect the Ming army to unite with Chahar. However, it was too late for Tuba Seleng to reflect, and the 10,000 Chahar cavalry in the rear of the Ming army were divided into a charge, forming a charging formation, and rushed towards Tuba Sereng.

Seeing the feud coming, Tuba Seleng was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, he only brought out 3,000 people, and in order to show respect, he didn't bring any weapons and bows and arrows, and he was caught off guard, so he was not the opponent of the Chahar tribe at all.

Tuba Seleng is also a veteran soldier who has been fighting in the grassland for many years, and when he saw that things were not good, he quickly turned his horse's head and ran back. However, the speed of the Chahar cavalry has risen, and in the short time that Tuba Seleng has lost his horse's head, the Chahar cavalry has been killed under the leadership of Ezhe.

Seeing that the leader wearing brocade clothes was the enemy Tuba Seleng, he drew his bow and arrows and unleashed the Mangu tactics that the Mongols were good at, which was actually very simple, that is, shooting arrows while riding a horse. But to put it simply, only the Mongols in the whole of East Asia can really use this tactic. Even the Manchurian Eight Banners, which are known as invincible, will not.

In later generations, many people said that the Manchus were nomads, but in fact they were not right, the Manchus were a fishing and hunting people. The Manchu tactics were to wear several layers of heavy armor, charge with the enemy's muskets or bows and arrows, and dismount the enemy after dismounting. Therefore, it is not correct to say that the Manchus were cavalry, and the Manchus were supposed to be heavy infantry who rode into battle.

Zhao Hu and the Ming army did not charge with the Chahar cavalry, but followed behind to watch the excitement. When Zhao Hu saw Ezhe using the cavalry and archery tactics that the Mongols relied on to become famous, Zhao Hu sighed: "It seems that the Mongols are really natural cavalrymen, watching their horseback archery is like walking with the clouds, just like drinking water and eating, this is the cavalry that can dominate the world!" ”

Zhao Hu's deputy general Zhu Ren has become Zhu Shengduo's guard captain, and now it is Zhu Yi who is Zhao Hu's deputy general, and he is also a child taken in by Zhu Hongsan in Henan that year.

Zhu Yi nodded when he heard Zhao Hu say this: "General, you are right, you see that Ezhe and they are just some young people and old people, not to mention the elderly, even those young people of fifteen or sixteen can also stand on horses and shoot arrows, this kind of kung fu is much stronger than ours, it seems that we will also strengthen our training in the future!" ”

Zhao Hu nodded, and shouted to the herald behind him: "Order, armor!" ”

The general ordered all the heavy cavalry to start dismounting and preparing to put on heavy armor, Zhu Yi saw that Zhao Hu was about to make a move, and hurriedly asked: "General, Your Majesty said that you won't let us interfere, why do you want to wear armor again?" ”

Now the Ezhe on the opposite side led people to chase Tuba Seleng and ran violently, 10,000 cavalry rushed on the grassland, and the ground shook, and the Ming army was enthusiastic. Zhao Hu pointed at the Mongols with a horsewhip in his hand and said, "Second brother, have you seen it?" This kind of bloody scene was compared by the Mongols without even doing it! The emperor said that he would not let us do it first, but he didn't say what to do after the fight! Now listen to Lao Tzu, let's go on the armor, let the Mongols look at my Ming heavy cavalry! ”

The cavalry of the Ming army heard the commander say this, and shouted loudly one by one and began to urge the horses, and in this way, the five thousand cavalry of the Ming army also joined the battle group.
