Chapter 622: I Have Decided Myself
At noon on the second day after the battle on the west bank of the Hatun River, Huang Taiji led the army of Jianyu North Road and arrived at the outskirts of Kuku and Tun. X
Abatai, Haoge, and Yuetuo, together with the general manager of the right wing of Chahar who had surrendered on the bank of the Hatun River, as well as two nobles such as Gushan and Santaiji of various tribes, greeted the holy car of the lord of the Houjin State outside the north gate of Kuku and Tuncheng.
And Huluke Zhaisang, the general manager of the right wing of Chahar, took the Doutumen Gushan Dolzidarhan Jinong in the Liugu Mountains of Chahar, the Erke Chuhu Er Zhaisang of the Akhtumen Gushan and the Sangtaiji of the various villages, once again knelt facing the north and expressed their allegiance to Huangtaiji.
Huang Taiji did not hold Abatey responsible, after all, the forward team led by Abatey was less than 10,000 horses, while Lin Dan Khan's men were as many as 70,000 or 80,000.
However, the results achieved by Abatai and others were so rich that Huang Taiji was unexpected.
In addition to more than 30,000 people in Chahar and Monan, there are also Lin Dan Khan handed over to the Chahar right-wing general and others to take care of a large number of horses, cattle and sheep, grain and forage and other production and living materials.
A considerable part of the grain, tea, salt, cloth and other things are still in the past year, the Chahar headquarters and the Monan departments have paid a large number of horses, cattle and sheep, through trade with the Ming Dynasty, in exchange.
Now it's all cheaper, Huang Taiji.
The army of Huangtaiji, who came from afar, needs most at the moment is all kinds of daily necessities that can be eaten, lodging and used.
Because it was the middle of October at this time, the climate on the desert in northern Saibei was also cold every day, and it was about to snow.
And Lin Dan Khan, who lost these cattle, sheep, grain and grass materials, will soon become difficult to move an inch in the Gobi steppe after the arrival of winter.
Therefore, after taking charge of Kuku and Tun, Huang Taiji was not worried at all about how far Lin Dan Khan's westward migration could go.
And the situation of the Ming army in Datong Town, which Yue Tuo, Haoge and others reported to him, especially the reply from the general of Datong Town reported to him by Hulu Kezhaisang to Lin Dan Khan's envoy for help, made Huang Taiji feel a little nervous all the time, and suddenly completely relaxed:
"It seems that the border town of the Ming Kingdom is really still the same as before! The same pedantic! It's the same obscurity! ”
Later Jin Tiancong Khan or Emperor Huang Taiji of the Great Jin Kingdom, surrounded by a group of military generals who had conquered Har and the newly descended Monan Mongol Zhaisang Taiji, led a larger and larger army and stationed in Kuku and Tun.
Because Lin Dan Khan's westward move was very hasty from making his mind to putting it into action, there was not the slightest damage to the palaces, temples, warehouses and houses in Kuku and Tuncheng.
At this time, of course, all of them are cheaper than Huang Taiji.
Lin Dan Khan's palace in Kuku and Tunzhong was naturally occupied by Huangtai Jijiu's magpie's nest.
And after stationing in Kuku and Tun, the first thing Huang Taiji did was to hold a royal meeting in the palace before Lin Dan Khan.
Huang Taiji first asked the leaders of the various tribes who led the people to join them, and still led their subordinates as before, and then according to the number of subordinates under the leadership of the leaders of each tribe and the size of their strength, they were named Beile or Taiji, and assigned the subordinate tribes of Monan to the Jurchen banners of this expedition, as vassals and servants, and fought for the Jurchens.
Regarding Huang Taiji's arrangement, no one dared to have an opinion on the general manager of Chahar's right wing, who had just been annexed to Houjin, as well as the leaders of the Doutumen Gushan and Akhtumen Gushan, as well as the leaders of the various tribes of Monan who followed the annexation.
After arranging these matters, Huang Taiji said to the Jurchen banner lord Beile ministers, the leaders of the Mongol tribes who had joined the expedition, and the newly annexed Mongol chiefs of Monan:
"Now that the two armies of our Dajin Kingdom have gathered in Kuku and Tun, Chahar Lindan Khan has fled when he heard the wind, and led the people to run westward, and the overall situation of Monan has been decided without a hard battle in all parts of the army, which is indeed gratifying! However, I led a large army to come and trekked thousands of miles, but it was not for the sake of Lin Dan'er! What should happen when the army goes down and stops, I am really undecided, and we can discuss it together! ”
For the newly attached Chahar magnates and the leaders of the Mongol tribes in Monan, they could not understand the meaning of the words of the new master, Huang Taiji.
But for Mang Gurtai, Abatai, Yue Tuo, Haoge and the entourage of close ministers Darhan, Fan Wencheng and others, the meaning of Huang Taiji's words is obvious.
Mang Gurtai, Abatai, Yuetuo, Haoge and several other Jurchen magnates with more respected status at the moment, you look at me, I look at you, and no one speaks.
In fact, not only Huang Taiji's own mind is undecided, but also the mind of these high-level figures.
The Ming kingdom in the south was not the Mongol tribes in southern China under the rule of Chahar Lindan Khan, and once an attack was launched, the consequences were difficult to predict.
If you win the war, everything will be fine, everything is easy to say, in case of failure, this place is thousands of miles away from Liaodong, and the way back is long, and there is a strong city like Ulan Hada during the period, and anything can really happen.
Especially once the battle begins, it is difficult to attack the land of the Ming Kingdom in a short period of time, so the consequences of the troops under the fortified city are especially unpredictable.
If the monarchs and ministers of the Ming Kingdom mobilized the troops of Dongjiang Town and Liaodong Town to storm the hinterland of the Dajin Kingdom, then the current army is thousands of miles away from Liaoshen and cannot be saved, and at that time, it will be a big deal!
Even Jurchen Baylor, who was brave and resourceless and resourceless, knew in their hearts the risks they might face behind the development of the Ming border army here.
So several people didn't speak.
Huang Taiji saw that these people did not speak, so he turned his gaze to Darhan and Fan Wencheng.
Fan Wencheng, who had long wanted to speak and stopped, immediately stood up and saluted when he saw this, and then said: "Your Majesty has sworn out since the first day of September, and led the army across the Hanhai Sea and westward. From the perspective of slaves, all the departments of the grassland look forward to His Majesty's westward expedition to the south, just like the hope of a drought for several years!
However, the minions are only counted on their fingers, and it has only been more than a month and a half since the expedition has been made, and the overall situation of Monan has been decided. Half of His Majesty's original ambition has almost been completed. From this, it can be seen that His Majesty made a decision at the beginning! ”
When Fan Wencheng said this, Huang Taiji smiled and nodded frequently, while the Jurchen Banner Lord Beile Minister and the leaders of the Mongolian tribes who were invited to discuss in the palace all saluted and said:
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"Great Khan Shengming!"
Hanchen is called Your Majesty, and the Eight Banners and Mongolian princes and nobles still can't change their mouths, and they are still called the Great Khan.
Huang Taiji raised his hand to let everyone be exempt, and then said to Fan Wencheng: "Should the army go west or go straight to the south next, what is Fan Jian's opinion?" ”
Seeing this, Fan Wencheng suddenly lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, solemnly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty's battle this time will settle Monan, and the Mongolian steppe departments will enter Your Majesty's hands from now on!" Your Majesty has entered Dajin, and my Dajin has become a great country of thousands of miles!
"And Mo Nan and the Ming Kingdom are only separated by a wall! If Your Majesty can take advantage of this great victory, personally lead Dajin and Mongolia 200,000 iron horsemen to the south to close the door, break through the border, and then take Datong, Benxuanfu, and directly take the capital division of the Ming Kingdom, the Southern Dynasty may be able to pass on the shelf!
"If this is the case, Your Majesty will be able to mix the sea in one fell swoop and achieve a great cause that has not been seen by the emperors of the ages!"
After saying this, Fan Wencheng kowtowed again and said: "At that time, the leader of the Monan Warat Department was also the first, the leader of the Tumut Department was Da, and the Ji Bag of the Ordos Department all took this road, broke through the border, and went straight to the capital division of the Ming Kingdom.
"Now Your Majesty's wisdom and wisdom, and the courage and skill of my Dajin Eight Banner athletes, are not comparable to the first, I answer, and Ji Nan Mongolia in the past!
"If Your Majesty can make this determination, my Dajin Kingdom will enter Middle-earth and achieve the immortal foundation of eternity, which can be expected!"
After Fan Wencheng said this, he kowtowed.
Huang Taiji personally got up from his seat, walked to the middle of the main hall, helped Fan Wencheng up with both hands, and said to him: "I have won the Xiandou, just like Henkel's ovary!" ”
After saying this, Huang Taiji turned back to everyone and said, "I have made up my mind!" ”
Huang Taiji made up his mind, and then quickly dispatched troops and arranged the army.
First of all, he ordered the formation of the Western Route Army led by Abatai, led the headquarters of Niulu, as well as the headquarters of Niu Lu, as well as the headquarters of Li Yongfang, the division of Mobei Babudaiji, and the division of Horqin's right wing Belekongol, under the guidance of Huluk Jaisang, the chief of the right wing of Chahar, and his subordinates, a total of about 15,000 cavalry, went west to continue the pursuit of Lin Dan Khan.
Then, he ordered Yue Tuo to form the East Route Army, leading the Red Banner and Yellow Flag Army, as well as the Horqin Left Wing Belle Zhaisang Department and part of the Monan Mongol Army, with a total of more than 50,000 people, to attack Duolunuoer in the name of pursuing the fleeing troops of the Yongxieb Division, and attack Shengkou and Yanghekou according to the situation, so as to contain the forces of Xuanfu and Datong East Road.
In the end, Huang Taiji led the Zhenghuang Banner, Zhenglan Banner and the Mongol tribes of Mo Nan to surrender to the Middle Route Army, with more than 50,000 people, approaching Hukou in the name of pursuing the fleeing troops, waiting for the opportunity.
At the same time, Huang Taiji also asked one of his cronies, Turai, the commander of the Protector Army, to lead a Zhenghuang Qiding of Niu Lu, disguised as a Chahar herdsman who had fled south, mixed with a large number of surrendered tribesmen, and went south, waiting for an opportunity to infiltrate the killing of Hu and contact Yanguli and others.
In this way, as Huang Taiji led the army into Kuku and Tun,
