Chapter 448: War
"Good!" Tabu's nose was crooked, and he slammed his feet, turned around and rode away.
On the horse, Tabu Nang shouted to the pedestrians on the street: "The Great Khan wants to conquer and Yusheng, and those who don't want to suffer from the fish in the pond should hurry to the Qingcheng side, and the Han people in each Bansheng land will either be re-annexed, or the army will be re-conquered as Heyusheng's people!" β
All the Mongolian attachΓ©s shouted together, and most of the Han people here understood the Mongolian language, and everyone listened with solemn faces.
When Tabu saw the silver ingot, Lakshin and the others, he turned his face away, feeling a little sorry for Lakshin in his heart.
Lakshin and the others also had a deathly look on their faces, and after Tabu Nang left, Lakshin shouted to the silver ingot: "Taiji, the Great Khan and Acheng Taiji, they are going to do it!" β
"We're going to withdraw too." The silver ingot said: "According to the plan, all of them will be evacuated in the next few days." β
"Where are we leaving?" Rakshen said frantically: "We are Mongols, did we flee to the Ming Kingdom to become Tartar officials?" β
"Fighting." Silver Ingot touched the mustache on his chin, his face was already mature and calm, the young Taiji who was looking for someone to paint his portrait in the horse market a few years ago was gone, he looked at Lakshen, and said coldly: "This battle is for hegemony on the grassland, not a war between the Ming and the Mongols, Zhang Han told me that he is an outsider and will not fight for the territory and legal system of the Mongols, I will fight side by side with him in this battle, and we will definitely win." β
"Crazy, all crazy......" Lakshin felt like his head was about to explode, which was slightly more informative to him.
"Taiji," someone next to the silver ingot asked, "are we really going to win?" β
"I don't know if I can win or not...... Silver Ingot sighed and said, "The Great Khan and Ah Cheng don't know, this battle is impossible to lose against Heyusheng's side, at least." β
β¦β¦
"Let's go to war as soon as possible." Geng Ge looked unhappy, touched the white beard on his chin, and said to Bu Shitu and Ah Cheng: "Now the horses are gradually getting fatter, of course, there are still many war horses that are tired, but if we continue to wait like this, I am afraid that our tribe will be burned and robbed by others." β
Due to the preparation for the big war, most of the armor soldiers of each department were assembled, Zhou Daniu took hundreds of his subordinates who were strong and stubborn to loot and kill people everywhere, and robbed more than a dozen pastures in a row in half a month, and there was burning smoke everywhere, and the Mongols were killed in large numbers, and the core of the ranch was full of burning yurts and corpses all over the ground.
Gurusi said angrily: "That Han dog named Zhou Yao doesn't even let go of women and children, and the country of Ming has always proclaimed that he is a country of benevolence and righteousness. β
Geng Ge looked at Bu Shitu Khan, and said in a threatening tone: "The Harashen tribes actually have nothing to do with this matter, because we came to help the Great Khan, this time many of the pastures of the headquarters have been attacked, more than a thousand people have been slaughtered, countless cattle, horses and horses have been robbed, the Great Khan needs to make a decision early, and when dividing the spoils, we must take into account the losses of our troops." β
Ah Cheng sat on the side, his face was also very ugly, Ha Lashen and the Taiji of various departments gathered more and more, but these Taiji were not respectful to the Great Khan, and they spoke unceremoniously, which was simply domineering, but at this time, they couldn't turn their faces with these Taiji who came to help the war, so they could only endure this breath.
Bu Shitu Khan looked at Ah Cheng, and seeing that Ah Cheng was silent, he pressed the irritability in his heart, and said to the Taiji in front of him: "I have sent someone to Bansheng City to make an ultimatum, and if he Yusheng doesn't stop moving, then there will be a war." β
"Let's go to war." A Taiji from the Ordos tribe shouted: "We are already in a hurry, our tribe has also been attacked, and there are many casualties!" β
A Taiji shouted: "We Mongols are the best at using cavalry, and we are also accustomed to robbing the Han people of the Ming Kingdom, treating them as cattle and sheep, and as a result, our people were slaughtered by hundreds of Ming cavalry like cattle and sheep on the grassland, and their property was looted, whose responsibility is this?" β
Bu Shitu Khan's face was gloomy, he felt particularly embarrassed, these people didn't care about his face at all, and introduced and Yusheng to solve the dilemma of the horse market being closed, which was something that all the ministries agreed on, and now everyone seemed to blame him!
At this moment, he felt that he was tied to the chariot by Ah Cheng, but in fact, he didn't want to fight this battle just by the face in front of him!
Bu Shitu Khan also misses Du'er Taiji very much, if this old Taiji is still alive, with his strength and prestige, he will not get the current chaotic situation at all.
"How?" Geng Ge didn't let go of Bu Shitu Khan at this time, and his tone became more and more aggressive.
"All the divisions assemble the armor." Ah Cheng finally spoke at this time: "Attack Bansheng City first, and take back the Han people in Bansheng City and the nearby Bansheng Land." β
Geng Ge said: "It's better to kill all those Han dogs, I don't understand, why do Mongolians raise these Han dogs?" β
"Those Han people are still useful." Taiji, who was close to Bu Shitu Khan, said: "Tens of thousands of Han people, how much grain do you have to grow in a year, and there are 100,000 baskets of various vegetables, not only we are farming here, but there are also Han people farming in Baicheng." β
From Chahar to Inner Khalkha, there are also Han people farming, of course, it is also the Han people who plundered along the border, the number and scale can not be compared with the eloquent Altan Khan, Geng Gel is an old-school Mongol, in addition to being dissatisfied with Lin Dan Khan's belief in the Red Religion, he has always insisted that all the ministries should be united, accept the rule of the legal code promulgated by Chahar Mentu Khan, and are saddened by the centrifugation of all departments...... As soon as it was mentioned that there were also Han people farming in Baicheng, this stubborn old Taiji stopped.
"Send troops." Geng Ge stood up, his white hair fluttering in the breeze blowing in all directions, he looked around at the many Taiji, and said loudly: "Since the death of Altan Khan, we have never gathered so many armor soldiers, 15,000 armor soldiers, and 100,000 men, no matter how powerful He Yusheng is, we must uproot them from the grassland!" β
"Kill the dog!"
"Slaughter the Han dogs!"
It was as if the water had dripped into the oil pot, and the people were boiling, and many people changed from sitting cross-legged to jumping up and shouting, and the red tassels on the big hats on their heads were also shaking one by one, and people drew their swords and shouted angrily, feeling extremely angry that the Han people went deep into the grassland and openly built military forts.
Although relative peace has been maintained in the past few decades, there are still constant skirmishes on the border, although the Ming Dynasty has died a lot of soldiers and civilians, the Mongols will not be better, there are clansmen who died under the sword of the Ming Dynasty in various tribes, if you encounter powerful generals on the edge of the town, such as Ma Fang and Zhang Chen, as well as generals like Li Chengliang, the border tribes will die more, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will cut off the heads of the Mongols and take them back in exchange for silver.
On the side of the Mongols, there is also a heavy blood debt to the Han people, and at the same time, their biggest feeling is that their self-esteem is damaged...... They are the descendants of Genghis Khan, and now they are actually pressed all the way under the nose by the Ming people!
After shouting, Tabu Nang came back the next day, and he went directly to the sweat tent on the grassland outside Qingcheng to report the news brought back from Bansheng City.
"Sun Jingting is so arrogant?"
When Zhang Han came to Qingcheng for the first time, Sun Jingting was also with him, and later Yu Niang was injured, the brother and sister lived in Qingcheng for a period of time, and they were very familiar with many Taiji nobles.
"If you want to fight, then you will fight?" Bu Shitu also felt insulted, and he said to Tabu Nang, "How many people are there in Bansheng City with Yusheng?" β
With messy hair, Tabu said: "It's still Zhao Shiwu's division, and it seems that the artillery is still those ones." β
Geng Ge said: "Have you read carefully? β
Tabu was furious, but he didn't dare to turn his face at Geng Ge, he said with a straight face: "Of course I can see it clearly." β
Geng Ge said: "In this case, we should immediately send troops, surround Bansheng City, capture and kill that Sun Jingting, Zhao Shiwu and others, and kill all the Han dogs who are attached to Yusheng." β
"Kill the dog!" Everyone was excited, and countless people on the vast grassland waved their swords and spears in their hands, a murderous scene.
The next day, Bu Shitu Khan gave an order to Acheng Taiji, and at the same time requisitioned the armor soldiers of each department, and the first batch set off with 7,000 armor soldiers and more than 20,000 herdsmen, and more troops continued to assemble from each department.
Because of the fiasco of Su Nang and Bu Nang, these Mongolian nobles did not completely underestimate and ascend to the top...... In fact, they attached great importance to it, so they avoided fighting before, and then harassed on the border with light horses, but the results were not very effective, the Ming army in various places had already been prepared, and Yusheng almost shrunk the trade routes, and the supply stations and branches in various places were almost closed, and the results of the Mongol harassment were not very good, on the contrary, Zhou Yao's seven hundred light horses, because they were fully prepared, everyone had armor, and the firearms were sharp, Zhou Yao and others were bandits and horse thieves for many years, and the burning was extremely ruthless, and the herdsmen of the pastures who had been engaged in it could not graze with peace of mind, Abandoned pastures are everywhere, and tribes huddle together to graze, which has caused serious unrest.
The killing of many Mongolian herders, both men, women, and children, not only provokes hatred, but also causes unrest in people's hearts, and many herders feel timid.
In the past, the herdsmen followed the soldiers to rob the Ming Kingdom, the battlefield was in the territory of the Ming Kingdom, at most, the Ming army occasionally went deep into the grassland to fight back, and it was not the norm, this time He Yusheng was rooted in the grassland, Zhou Yao and others could get adequate supplies, and their harassment had made all the departments unbearable.
At noon the next day, a large force of cavalry had arrived at the outskirts of Bansheng City.
Ah Cheng Taiji decided to send light cavalry to harass, drive away the scattered Han people around, burn the houses and fields everywhere, even if he destroyed the vegetable fields of each department, and many of the fields were ripe, and the vegetables could effectively supply the coalition forces of each department.
He felt that the Han people were unreliable, even if some Han people had lived on the grassland for a hundred years, once they really fought on the grassland, these Han people would definitely stand on the side of the Ming Kingdom!
