The failure of the military and the NSA to reach a consensus on the handling of Batur Huntaiji led to various flaws in the operation. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

In terms of fighting with the Qing army, not only did they fail to completely annihilate the Qing army, but also allowed them to escape nearly 30,000 troops.

Compared with the Mongol army, which lost more than 35,000 people, from the perspective of the battle, the Qing army can be said to have won this battle.

As for the Ming Dynasty, watching most of the Qing army retreat calmly was a military failure.

Through this campaign, instead of weakening the overall strength of Mongolia, it allowed the Mongolian tribes, which had been estranged, to be closely united, which was one of the major failures in political action.

Let Batur Huntaiji enter the territory of Daming alive and successfully win the hearts of the people of Inner Mongolia in Daming, which is another big failure of Daming.

In short, Da Ming planned for such a long time, and in the end, although he sat and watched the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman did not pick up much cheap.

Fortunately, on the fourth day after the end of the battle, Li Hongfei and his entourage finally arrived at Suzhou Wei ...........

After Li Hongfei explained the affairs of the DPRK and China, he first arrived at Yingkou in Shandong Province on a battleship of the Beiyang Naval Division, and then changed to a steamship to go west from the mouth of the Yellow River in Yingkou.

It is only more than 80 miles away from the Liangzhou guard guarded by Qi Zhifeng, and it stands to reason that Li Hongfei should go to inspect it, but as soon as Li Hongfei's fleet approached the wharf, he received an expedited 800 li - a large number of Qing troops appeared on the border of Suzhou, and the war was about to break out.

In this case, Li Hongfei had no intention of staying, so he had to urge the fleet to continue westward, and the fleet did not stop until the south of Qilian Mountain.

The tributaries of the Yellow River are considered to be the end here, and the Qilian Mountain in front of you is the jurisdiction of Suzhou Wei, and it is also the most famous checkpoint in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty - Jiayu Pass.

Don't look at today's Ming Dynasty, the northwest region is vast and sparsely populated, but because of the large number of national defense troops stationed here, the caravans coming and going to the northwest border pass are also very frequent.

Li Hongfei and his entourage, under the leadership of a local caravan, took only three days to cross the Qilian Mountain and arrived at Suzhou.

Li Hongfei's arrival made the military and the National Security Bureau breathe a sigh of relief at the same time: this hot potato has finally been taken over.

"Yes, dare I come to wipe your ass?" Li Hongfei heard about the incident and said angrily.

It turned out that after the end of the First World War on the edge of the desert, the attitude of the Mongolian tribes, who were still imminent to the Ming Dynasty, suddenly changed 180 degrees.

From the end of the war, when Batur Huntaiji entered the customs to the present, the Mongolian tribes who stayed in Suzhou took the initiative to visit Batur Huntaiji's camp.

During this period, Batur Huntaiji refused to be visited by the Ming army generals on the grounds that he was injured and needed to recuperate, and even his strategist Han Baofeng was invited out of the Chinese army camp.

I have time to meet with the envoys of the Mongolian tribes, but I don't have time to deal with the Ming officials, which is obviously a problem with what the Ming did before.

In fact, even if there is a mustard, Zhang Chao and the others don't care too much, what can you do in my Daming military camp, under the supervision of more than 100,000 national defense troops?

However, people really made a moth.........

In fact, it is not that Batur Huntaji took the initiative to provoke trouble, but a group of Mongolians passed on the news of Batur Huntaiji's entry, attracting those Mongolian refugees who fled into the territory of the Ming Dynasty to take the initiative to gather in Suzhou.

In just three days, the number of Mongol soldiers gathered under Batur's Huntaiji tent reached 30,000 (including the 20,000 servant troops who had participated in the rescue before), and the number of civilians was no less than 50,000.

According to the analysis of the National Security Bureau, if Batur Huntaiji continues to gather the forces of the Mongolian tribes at such a speed, it is believed that it will not be long before the rest of the Mongolian tribes in Mongolia who have been recovered by the Russian-Manchurian coalition forces will be the only one who will be the leader of Batur Huntaiji.

In the Mongolian region before, Batur Huntaiji used force to unify the Mongolian tribes, but now it is good, in the face of the collapse of the country, these Mongolian refugees are all united.

In the final analysis, it was Batur Huntaiji's "non-cooperation" posture that infected the Mongolian tribes, and if he showed his submission to the Ming Dynasty as soon as he entered the customs, the rest of the Mongolian tribes would naturally think about it for their own interests.

Batur Huntaiji is going to be the "dog" of the Ming Dynasty, is it necessary for them to slap each other?

It's better to take refuge in Daming, at least in terms of level, they can still be on an equal footing with Batur Huntaiji.

But now it's good, the "calculation" before the Ming Dynasty has been put on the bright side, Batur Huntaiji took advantage of the situation to "counterattack", and even the Ming military was embarrassed to use this incident as a reason to open the knife.

Another point is that the Mongols have understood that the participation of the Ming army in the war is a certainty, and at this time, only by uniting can we obtain the greatest benefits in future battles.

"What is this? Typical indecision is self-defeating! Whether Batur Huntaiji died on the battlefield, or according to the previous plan, take the initiative to show goodwill and save him from the customs, we will not face such a passive situation! Li Hongfei criticized mercilessly.

The Ming Dynasty has given itself to the Heavenly Empire, and everything must be done with a so-called "bottom line", which is indecisive to say that it sounds good, and pedantic to say that it is not good.

When the interruption continues, it is chaotic.

How could Li Hongfei not understand the thoughts of the National Security Bureau, and wasn't he worried that Batur Huntaiji would become bigger in the future?

But since you have decided to deal with others, what are you worried about?

Let's not talk about the previous rescue plan, even if the later "borrowing a knife to kill" didn't work, wouldn't it be okay to shoot him to death while the other party didn't enter the customs?

Even if they enter the customs, there are more than 100,000 national defense troops in Suzhou, and it is not easy to immediately block the news and send troops to suppress the less than 30,000 Mongolian cavalry.

Now it is good, not only did he fail to kill people with a knife, but he also exposed the intentions of the Ming army, and the most failed point was to let these Mongols go and spread the news of Batur Huntaiji's entry into the customs............

It can be said that as long as Zhang Chao is in this matter, he will not be so passive now.

Take the most benevolent method as an example, as long as you show the Mongols the strength of the Ming army, completely blockade the Suzhou Guard, and prevent the other party from spreading the news, the Ming army can actually seize the initiative.

If Batur Huntaiji is not stupid, he will understand this, and he will either surrender to the Ming Dynasty or be directly "evaporated from the world" by the Ming Dynasty.

"Now that the news has spread all over the border gates, it's too late to say anything, so let's think about how to solve it." Zhang Chao said cheekily.

His relationship with Li Hongfei is extraordinary, and only he dares to open this mouth.

"Or, find an excuse to .......... Batur Huntaiji" Ji Dongming made a movement to wipe his neck.

In his opinion, since he has torn his face, he should simply be ruthless.

If the Mongolian cavalry is a group of wolves on the steppe, then this Batur Huntaiji is the wolf king, as long as the wolf king is solved, although there may be some trouble in the follow-up, but as long as the Ming army can maintain the advantage of force, without the leadership of the "wolf king", the Mongolian tribes are also just a plate of scattered sand.

"If I want to get rid of Batur Huntaiji, do I need to go through so much trouble? As I said before, the living Batur Huntaiji is more valuable than the dead, it's good for you to change the plan and disrupt the overall layout, not to mention, and now you're doing all the tricks, and it's not big enough, isn't it? The more Li Hongfei said, the more angry he became.

If he could act according to the original plan before, Daming would at least be able to stand on the moral high ground, even if Batur Huntaiji also wanted to start anew after entering the customs, he would not be so fearless.

Even Li Hongfei hoped that he could do this, because no matter how much Batur Huntaiji could expand his power, when fighting against the Russian-Manchurian coalition army, the Ming Dynasty had hundreds of ways to consume the opponent's strength unknowingly.

In this regard, it is far more clever than the National Security Bureau's strategy of "preventing it from happening".

The National Security Bureau just saw the threat in front of him and wanted to eliminate it as soon as possible, but Li Hongfei was even more desperate and sold the other party directly, and the other party had to count the money for him.

It's a pity that this kind of cheapness can't be taken advantage of now.

After being pitted by Daming once, the Mongols have learned well, and it is impossible for them to be stupid enough to go to the battlefield again.

And there are enough reasons for the fact that the consumption of troops is too serious and the strength is not good.

This is also the main reason why Li Hongfei is annoyed, excessive consumption of the strength of the Mongolian tribes, and the final loss can only be the Ming National Defense Army, after all, the main enemy today is not the Mongols, but the Russian-Manchurian coalition army.

As for the killing of Batur Huntaiji, this is simply more faint than the previous stun.

Could it be that the Ming Dynasty really wanted to push all the Mongolian tribes to the Russian-Manchurian coalition?

Even with the strength of the Ming Defense Army, it can deal with the Triple Alliance and ultimately achieve victory.

However, Li Hongfei is also unwilling to station 200,000 or 300,000 national defense troops in Mongolia all year round in the future, with this military expenditure, why can't he do it, why must it be wasted in this part of Mongolia?

"I'll take care of this matter, and your military and the NSA just need to cooperate." Li Hongfei thought about it, and finally explained.

This time I was fortunate to come to the northwest region in person, otherwise this hidden danger would not be eliminated, once the Ming Dynasty entered the war, the Mongolian tribes would not only not become a help, but might be held back at a critical moment.

"How do you need to cooperate?" Zhang Chao asked.

This is an opportunity to make amends, and he must seize it.

"How to cooperate? From now on, the whole army was de-prepared, all the scouts outside were withdrawn to me, and the border passes were guarded, and the Mongolian refugees who were going south were not accepted. In addition, in terms of national security, find a way to disclose this news to all the Mongolian nobles in the Ming Dynasty. Let's just say: Daming intends to establish diplomatic relations with Tsarist Russia, as long as Tsarist Russia does not intrude on the border of Daming, Daming can admit the fact that Tsarist Russia occupies Mongolia, and even as long as Tsarist Russia is willing to pay satisfactory bargaining chips, Daming can extradite some Mongolian nobles who fled into the territory of Daming. Li Hongfei said.

Li Hongfei's method of dealing with it can be described as simple and rude.

Didn't the Mongols expect that the Ming would definitely enter the war?

Labor and management just stopped fighting.

Not only did they not fight, but labor and management also had to watch the fire from across the strait, and even refugees who fled south were no longer accepted.

Moreover, the Ming Dynasty also had to establish diplomatic relations with Tsarist Russia and recognize the fact that Mongolia was occupied.

As long as this matter is successful, even if the Mongol tribes want to become independent in the future, they will have to face the wrath of the two superpowers of Tsarist Russia and the Ming Dynasty at the same time.

The most important point was to agree to the extradition of the Mongol nobles in the Ming Dynasty in exchange for conditions.

These Mongolian nobles thought that they would be relieved to escape into the Ming Dynasty, but in the end it was just a commodity, as long as they were willing to pay, the Ming Dynasty could sell them happily.

The reason why it only established diplomatic relations with Tsarist Russia was because the Manchu Qing Dynasty was a feud with the Ming Dynasty, and the two sides had already reached the point of not ending to the death.

If the Ming Dynasty had agreed to establish diplomatic relations with the Manchus, it would have not been convinced.

"Prime Minister, this trick is really amazing! Once we establish diplomatic relations with Tsarist Russia, presumably the first person to be extradited by the other side is Batur Huntaiji, and morally speaking, we are not at fault, this is the highest level of killing people with a knife! Zhang Chao instantly understood what Li Hongfei meant.

This kind of thing is complicated to say, but it is actually very simple, the Ming Dynasty has been planning for so long, it is impossible not to implement the Northern Expedition.

In fact, the most important thing in this is to show the Mongols.

You Mongolians are almost to the point of extermination, and you dare to throw your face at Daming, what is the difference between this and looking for death?

Since you regard Batur Huntaiji as your spiritual leader, then the Ming Dynasty will be the first to attack your spiritual leader.

If you want to resist, that's even better, the Ming army is worried that there is no reason to destroy this group of disobedient servant army!

People are afraid of death, especially the Mongol nobles, who do not want to be extradited to Tsarist Russia one day.

As long as these people can obediently obey the dispatch of the Ming Dynasty, Batur Huntaiji will not be able to do any tricks, and it is logical to incorporate Mongolia into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.............

In fact, Zhang Chao only thought of one of the possibilities, and the other is that Li Hongfei really plans to establish diplomatic relations with Tsarist Russia.

If the Mongols did not cooperate, the Ming army would be fine just against the Manchu cavalry, and if it wanted to deal with both the Cossack cavalry and the Manchu cavalry, even if it won in the end, the Ming army would have to pay a heavy price.

This kind of loss-making business, Li Hongfei obviously will not do it.

So is it possible to change this situation by establishing diplomatic relations with Tsarist Russia?

Of course it's possible.

Tsarist Russia's greed for land did not end, but with their influence in Central Asia, after taking Siberia and the west of Ulaanbaatar, they had no ability to continue their aggression in a short time.

Such a vast area of land, in a few years, Tsarist Russia could not easily digest it.

At this time, Daming extended an olive branch, and Tsarist Russia would definitely accept it without hesitation in order to smoothly spend this time.

As for the Manchus as an ally.......... Aren't allies meant to be betrayed?

The Ming only needed to promise that in the future, it would only attack the Manchu territory, and Tsarist Russia would not only obstruct it, but would even raise its hands in favor in private.

Because Tsarist Russia knew that once the Ming Dynasty ate the fat of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it would not be able to digest it in a few years.

Tsarist Russia could have sacrificed the Manchus to buy itself time.

The Ming Dynasty formed an alliance with Tsarist Russia, and both sides were able to take what they needed.

Of course, this is based on the fact that the Mongolian tribes are not used by the Ming Dynasty, and if the Mongolian tribes can completely submit to the Ming Dynasty, the so-called union will lose its meaning.

This was the period when Tsarist Russia was at its weakest in controlling Siberia and western Mongolia, and Li Hongfei really did not want to wait a few more years to compete with a powerful Russian empire for control of these regions.

In the current situation, the key to how the Ming Dynasty chooses is not Li Hongfei, but Batur Huntaiji, or the Mongolian forces he represents............
