Chapter Seventy-Three: The Mongol Terminator (1)
Chapter Seventy-Three: The Mongol Terminator (1)
Wang Jixiang, who was under house arrest by Zhao Kang in the Yamen of the governor of Yansui, waited for a month and a half, and finally waited for news from the court: 50,000 catties of grain and 20,000 taels of silver were sent. This was already saved by Emperor Chongzhen's tightening of his belt, and Zhao Kang estimated that he would have to have a few more patches on his dragon robe. Sometimes Zhao Kang can't help but think that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty is really aggrieved.
Even a big squire from a poor place like northern Shaanxi can casually take out a few thousand taels of silver, not to mention those rich places in the south of the Yangtze River. It is estimated that those wealthy businessmen and giants who have 100,000 yuan in their waists and ride cranes down to Yangzhou will only find out that they are just turtles and hillbillies when they really arrive in Yangzhou.
Wang Jixiang happily found Zhao Kang: "Lord Zhao, this is already the limit that the emperor can take." You must be out of talk now, right? ”
Zhao Kang was speechless directly, but there was no need for Wang Jixiang to urge Zhao Kang to prepare to go, otherwise it would be bad to wait for a while for Li Zicheng to conquer Ruzhou and encircle Kaifeng, Zhang Xianzhong to conquer Xiangyang, and the court to transfer himself to the Central Plains to suppress bandits. I am very concerned about the gold mines located in Mongolia. Although there are a lot of gold mines in the Tongguan area, they are embarrassed to dig in front of everyone, aren't they?
Moreover, Zhao Kang also knew that Li Zicheng's group belonged to the typical proletarian [rank] level, and they also had Han blood in their bodies like Zhao Kang, and Zhao Kang had always hated the civil war. But when it comes to fighting the Mongols, Zhao Kang has absolutely no psychological pressure. In order to deal with the Mongols, Zhao Kang specially bought a lot of gasoline and beer bottles, poured gasoline into beer bottles, and then added a large amount of sugar to them, and a simple incendiary bomb was completed. Although this thing is not as powerful as the napalm made of benzene and polystyrene, it will definitely burn the Mongolians every day in this era at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
It's winter again, and the Mongols are thickly dressed and living in tents...... Zhao Kang is terrifying when he thinks about it. Even if it can't burn you, there are no cold measures to freeze you in this prairie.
Seeing Wang Jixiang's expectant look, Zhao Kang immediately summoned the generals to discuss the dispatch of troops.
Five days later, Zhao Kang's men and horses were ready, and this time the expedition was led by Zhao Kang as the commander, Li Laoguan was responsible for guarding his hometown, and Daniel Zhang, Zhao Liangdong, Wang Fuchen, Wang Pingfan, and Zhou Yuji led a total of 56,000 soldiers of the Eighth Route Army. Chen Erdian was the vanguard officer, and led the mixed Mongolian and Han troops under his command to cross the Yellow River and attack eastward.
Temur led about 7,000 Tu and Eight Route cavalry from each of the six banners of Ordos to the north to attack the front, middle and rear banners of Ulate.
Zhao Kang personally led a large army from the front banner of the left wing of Ordos (now Zhun Geer Banner) to the north, and joined forces with Chen Erdian's troops outside the naturalization city.
Zhao Kang's troops can be described as fully armed, with cotton clothes, cotton pants, cotton shoes, cotton socks, thermal underwear, military coats, and even war horses wearing cotton clothes. Diesel antifreeze Zhao Kang has prepared a lot.
The chariots, horses, and pedestrians are each at the waist. The five generals under his command each took a Range Rover and parked at the front of their respective troops, while Zhao Kang and Wang Jixiang shared a car. As Zhao Kang issued an order from the walkie-talkie: "The whole army is leaving!" ”
The engines of more than a hundred loaders, hundreds of agricultural vehicles carrying supplies and infantry roared at the same time, and the neighing of war horses mixed together, and tens of thousands of troops marched north like a long dragon.
In the car that Zhao Kang was riding, Zhao Kang was showing off to Wang Jixiang: "Princess, do you think my chariot is okay?" ”
While enjoying the warm air conditioning in the car, Wang Jixiang curiously touched everything and exclaimed: "Lord Zhao's chariots are all skillful heavenly bows!" ”
Zhao Kang said proudly: "That's natural, such a Land Rover chariot costs more than 600,000 ...... Well...... More than six thousand taels of silver! Can it be bad? ”
Wang Jixiang sighed: "Although this Land Rover chariot is good, it is a pity that it is too expensive to equip the army on a large scale, otherwise why worry about the Tartars will not be destroyed!" The only downside is that I get dizzy sitting on it. ”
Zhao Kang scolded in his heart: This old eunuch and dead shemale shouldn't get motion sickness, right?
The result is obvious, Wang Jixiang vomited all the way, and Zhao Kang's car was polluted by him. Walking from Yulin to the front banner of the left wing of Ordos, it was less than 300 miles away, and Wang Jixiang vomited seven or eight times. Zhao Kang was really disgusted by the black smoke miasma in the car, and after arriving at the front banner of the left wing of Ordos, he drove him to a farm truck and stayed away from this disgusting gelding.
—————————————————— I am the dividing line of evil———————————————————
In 1634, Lin Dan Khan was defeated and died of illness in Dacaotan, Gansu. The following year, his son, Erke Kongol-Ezhe, surrendered under the siege of the Later Jin. After sending people to inspect and change it many times, Huang Taiji set the original eight parts of Chahar into eight Zasak banners. When the ministry was reorganized into a banner, the original eight Chahar divisions were dismantled, divided, or merged into other banners, or other Mongolian tribes were placed in the Chahar banners. With the establishment of the flag, the jurisdiction of the original ministry boundary was completely disrupted, and the jurisdiction was re-demarcated according to the newly built flag.
Due to the rapid decline in the status of the Chahar banners under the rule of "my Great Qing Dynasty", it also caused a serious decline in the combat effectiveness of the Chahar banners, in the face of the crushing advantage of loaders and agricultural vehicles, except for Chen Erdian who encountered a small scale of Tumut cavalry resistance outside the Naturalization City, he arrived at the Naturalization City and began to set up camp. The left and right banners of Tumutt almost all fled in despair, preparing to concentrate their forces on a decisive battle with Zhao Kang in Guihua City.
The next day, Zhao Kang led the army to Chen Erdian's camp, and before he had time to rest, he directly surrounded the dilapidated Naturalization City on all sides. This naturalized city was set on fire by Huangtaiji a few years ago, and it almost became a ruin, but after several years of repair, it has somewhat restored some of the majesty of the "Three Ladies City".
At this time, the "Prince of Chahar" in the city, Erkong Guoluo Ezhe, was standing on the wall of the Naturalization City with a sweat on his head, looking at Zhao Kang's army under the city, and a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl accompanied him. The girl was none other than Makata, who was later named the eldest princess of Gulun Wenzhuang. The identity of this Makata is not simple, his father is Huang Taiji, and his mother is Borzigit Zhezhe, who was not yet twelve years old, and Makata married Ezhe, who had just surrendered at that time, under the order of Huang Taiji, which can be described as a very noble status.
