Chapter 1176: Raising Troops
Dayan Khan was taken aback when he heard this, he never dreamed that the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty would come to Xuanfu. In his impression, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty should stay in the high city walls of Beijing and stay in the deep palace.
After being surprised, Dayan Khan's heartbeat immediately accelerated, he has been trying to get rid of the shadow left by the Mandu Sea, if he can defeat the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, or even capture the emperor of the Ming Dynasty like Wara back then, then he, the Great Khan, will shock the grassland, and will completely get rid of the influence of the Mandu Sea.
In the future, the steppe will only remember his prestige, Dayan Khan excitedly said: "What? The little emperor of the Ming Dynasty came to Xuanfu? ”
The guards are close associates of Dayan Khan, so they can naturally guess the thoughts of some Great Khans, so they will come to report the news in a hurry. The guard affirmed: "Great Khan, this matter has spread in the Uliangha tribe, no, not only the Uliangha tribe, it is spreading rapidly in the grassland!" ”
Dayan Khan, who had originally planned to go to Xuanfu to sweep the border, no longer hesitated, and laughed: "God really help me!" Immediately order the leaders of all the departments to come to the Khan Court and follow me to the Xuanfu! ”
With the order of Dayan Khan, the news spread faster on the grassland, and for a while, the people on the grassland were moved, and Warat had captured the emperor of the Ming Dynasty alive in Tumubao, coupled with the unscrupulous invasion of the border by the steppe cavalry over the years, so that they had no fear of the Ming Dynasty.
After receiving the news, the leaders of the steppe tribes immediately began to organize their troops and horses and go to the Khan's court to gather. It's not that they're sloppy, it's for profit! If the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty is captured alive, then they can all get a piece of the pie from this huge benefit!
If the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty didn't come to Xuanfu, it didn't matter, they went to the Ming Dynasty to loot, and they wouldn't return empty-handed, so it was a good thing anyway, so they immediately went to the Khan's court after hearing the order of the Great Khan.
The movement on the grassland has not yet reached Zhang Zhijie's ears, but it has reached Huadang's ears. Dayan Khan even sent a message to Huadang, asking him to send troops with his entourage. However, Huadang refused, saying that Uliangha had suffered heavy losses and could not afford to send troops.
Dayan Khan sneered after hearing this, but he didn't expect Hua Dang to be old but timid, and he was scared like this after being defeated by Da Ming once.
However, Huadang was not as timid and afraid as Dayan Khan thought, he sent his cronies to secretly investigate the movements of Xuanfu, although Xuanfu was very nervous because of the autumn defense, but Duoyan Sanwei and Daming have been dealing with each other for hundreds of years, and there is still a way.
Huadang finally received the news he wanted, not as he expected, it was the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty who came to Xuanfu. Instead, Zhang Zhijie came to Xuanfu with Jingying.
I am not unfamiliar with the name Zhang Zhijie, because this name has spread to every corner of the world. Even if he was a steppe native, he had heard the name more than once.
Zhang Zhijie was the most powerful courtier of the Ming Dynasty, who once eradicated the eunuchs, put down rebellions twice, and then opened the sea to trade. He didn't understand the opening of the sea trade, but he knew that now the Ming Dynasty was richer, because the opening of the sea trade brought a steady stream of silver to the Ming Dynasty.
I heard that the annual tax revenue of the city shipping department is several million taels of silver, and Zhang Zhijie also set up a fleet, and he can make a profit of one million taels of silver every year when he goes to sea.
What a huge wealth it is, it's unimaginable, so every time I hear someone mention Zhang Zhijie's saliva, I am about to stay. Because the name Zhang Zhijie not only represents power, but also wealth, he holds power with his left hand, and his right hand can turn stones into gold.
The glass mirror that his wife and daughter loved was just a small piece that had to be exchanged for a horse. Zhang Zhijie's house is still very inauthentic, and the glass mirror is so fragile that it broke after a few bumps on horseback.
He felt a little distressed when he thought about it, because his precious daughter loved to ride horses and never left the glass mirror. However, fortunately, his baby daughter has already married.
Although he knew Zhang Zhijie's reputation, he only knew it, and he felt that he was very far away from him. But I didn't expect this person to come to Xuanfu quietly, and led the army to kill his 4,000 cavalry.
Hua Dang's face was very gloomy, which showed that Zhang Zhijie was indeed a character, and now that he was the governor of the Great Military Affairs, the target must be directed at Duoyan Sanwei.
Later, Hua Dang also knew about the flintlock pistol, and he didn't know the difference between the flintlock pistol and the arquebus, but when he knew that the flintlock pistol could be loaded with the same tip as a spear, his face completely changed.
It's a dual-purpose soldier! In the past, pikemen were pikemen, and musketeers were musketeers. Now this flintlock pistol combines pikemen and musketeers into one, which is equivalent to directly doubling the entire army!
In the past, when the cavalry charged, the musketeers were fired first, and the pikemen were useless, and when the cavalry rushed to the front of the formation, the pikemen resisted the enemy, and the musketeers were discarded.
Musketeers and pikemen cannot be separated, they must work together to defend against the enemy, and only one class can be used at any given time.
But now there is some flintlock pistol, and when the cavalry charges, people can shoot first, and after shooting, they raise the fire gun to use as a spear, which completely changes the mode of battle, and it feels terrible to think about.
Although I have heard Zhang Zhijie's name before, it only exists in legends, but now I really feel how powerful he is.
It is no wonder that Geert obviously led the cavalry into the formation, but in the end the whole army was destroyed, and there was no wave at all, the original reason was on this flintlock pistol.
Hua Dang's face was gloomy and he thought about the impact of this new type of firearm on the war, and then his children and grandchildren rushed in, and shouted with joy: "Abba, Dayan Khan's Khan Court has gathered 40,000 cavalry and is ready to sweep the border!" ”
The children and grandchildren admired their Abba's plan very much, and spread the news that the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty came to Xuanfu, so that the little emperor of the Ming Dynasty and Dayan Khan would fight for a defeat and then benefit from the fisherman. Now Dayan Khan is ready to send troops, and his goal is about to be realized, so his children and grandchildren are very happy.
Although Dayan Khan was a descendant of the Golden Family, he led his troops to invade his own tribe, which made his children and grandchildren resentful. As for Da Ming, his children and grandchildren, who had just experienced a fiasco under Yongning City, were even more resentful.
But to the surprise of his children and grandchildren, Hua Dang did not show joy after hearing it, and still had a gloomy expression. Seeing this, the joy of his children and grandchildren disappeared just now, and he asked carefully, "Abba, what happened?" ”
