The Ming Dynasty ignored the Russian and Manchurian invading forces that were close at hand, and guarded their own territory, which is quite in line with the current national policy of the Ming Dynasty. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After all, the country has just ended the decades-long war, and it is not easy to live a happy life of living and working in peace and contentment.

Even the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty knew that the Ming army had no cavalry advantage, and once it broke away from the protection of the city and rashly penetrated into the Mobei region, it could only exert half of its combat effectiveness at most.

This is one of the reasons why the Russian-Manchurian coalition forces are so unscrupulous..........

If the troops did not move, there was no loss to the Ming Dynasty, and the more fierce the Mongolian battle, it cleared a lot of obstacles for the Ming Dynasty to occupy the entire Mobei in the future.

It's just that in this way, it has pitted the current leader of the Junggar tribe - Batur Huntaiji.

Taking advantage of the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Batur Huntaiji in these years, through the absorption and annexation of the former Mongolian Eight Banners tribe, was the dominant family among the Mongolian tribes, with more than 100,000 soldiers alone and a total population of more than 600,000.

A Mongolian tribe of this size is not at all worthy of the Manchu regime that has sunset, even if the Ming army enters Mobei, Batur Huntaiji has the ability to deal with it.

Therefore, the high-spirited Batur Huntaiji, when faced with the Manchu Qing Dynasty's solicitation, rejected the other party very simply.

However, the cheap ones picked up for nothing are not so delicious, and what Batur Huntaiji has done over the years, coupled with his refusal to belong to the Manchus, finally completely annoyed the Manchus.

It can be said that today's Junggar tribe is the Mongolian tribe that the Manchus hated the most, except for the Ming Dynasty.

Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty had a great decline in national strength, with no more than 200,000 soldiers, and they had to take into account the rest of Mongolia at the same time, it was estimated that there were only about 100,000 troops that could really threaten the Dzungar Department, which was equivalent to the strength of Batur Huntaiji.

But fortunately, the Manchus had allies, and the territory of Tsarist Russia around 1626 bordered the Dzungar Department in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, so Tsarist Russia did not need to send troops from Siberia at all, but directly from Tomsk, an important town in the central part of Tsarist Russia, sent 60,000 troops into the Dzungar Department.

Coupled with the 30,000 troops of Tsarist Russia in Siberia, the total strength of the entire Russian-Manchurian coalition army has reached 300,000, and there are nearly 170,000 troops against Batur Huntaiji alone.

In another time and space, Batur Huntaiji's son Geldan rebelled and forced Kangxi to drive a personal expedition, that was because there was the support of the Tsarist Russians behind him, but now, Tsarist Russia is stabbing him in the back, and Batur Huntaiji has to find another ally in order to maintain his current position.

However, the Ming Dynasty, which was the only capable of dealing with the Russian-Manchurian coalition, turned a blind eye to this.

Before the Ministry of National Defense implemented the reform of the military system, Batur Huntaiji was usurped by local warlords, which almost ruined Li Hongfei's good deeds.

There was no way, Batur Huntaiji could only resist while sending envoys to Beijing again and again to ask for help from the Ming Dynasty.

For this reason, Batur Huntaiji was willing to recognize the status of the Ming Dynasty's suzerain, and sent his sixth son, Geerdan, who had just turned seven years old, to the capital as a proton.

To tell the truth, after reading these conditions, Li Hongfei had a little wavering in his heart, the current leadership position of the Junggar Ministry among the Mongolian tribes, as long as Batur Huntaiji can surrender, the Ming Dynasty's involvement in Mobei is basically a certainty.

But Li Hongfei knew very well in his heart that he didn't know what he wanted, he didn't need Mongolia to appear in the form of a state, and the Junggar Department could only be a tribe forever, not a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, don't look at what Batur Huntaiji said, in fact, his troops have not lost too much so far, once the Ming Dynasty participates at this time, Batur Huntaiji is very likely to take measures to preserve his strength.

The Junggar tribe is now the first tribe in Mobei, and when the war is over, the entire Mobei will have to be reshuffled, and the Junggar tribe, which has an army of 100,000, may not be willing to obey the dispatch of the Ming Dynasty.

Geldan may be a famous leader in the future, but now he is just a little child, and even if Batur Huntaiji abandons his son, it may not be impossible.

For ethnic minorities, Li Hongfei was more inclined to the autonomy of various ethnic groups in later generations.

However, the number of troops in just one autonomous region is equivalent to one-third of the total number of the Daming Field Army, which Li Hongfei cannot allow.

Therefore, Li Hongfei can only continue to wait, wait for the strength of the Zhun Geer tribe to be greatly reduced, and wait for other small and medium-sized tribes to take the initiative to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, only in this way, after the implementation of ethnic autonomy in Mobei in the future, the strength of the various tribes will be balanced.

When no one can help anyone, everyone is naturally willing to obey the dispatch of the imperial court..........

Li Hongfei's abacus was fine, and the direction of events slowly developed in the direction he expected.

No matter how Batur Huntaiji preserved his strength, when the Russian-Manchurian coalition army cleaned up the scattered tribes around it, it finally began to concentrate its forces and launched an encirclement and suppression against the Gol Department.

The three parties are basically cavalry, and even if Batur Huntaiji wants to escape, it will be difficult to escape completely.

In the case of the Ming Dynasty's delay in replying, Batur Huntaiji could only choose to continue to deal with the Russian-Manchurian coalition forces.

In fact, now, how could Batur Huntaiji not understand Da Ming's thoughts, but if he really wanted him to give up the rights in his hands, how could he be willing?

Instead of sitting and waiting, it is better to fight, isn't it 160,000 enemy troops?

As long as the Russian-Manchurian coalition army can be defeated, he will be the savior of the entire Mongolian steppe, and when the time comes, not only will the Ming Dynasty be able to get involved in Mobei, but maybe he will be able to expand the territory and unify the entire Mobei.

Even if the worst is the worst, the army is gone, Batur Huntaiji can also take refuge in Daming for protection, anyway, this is what Daming wants to see.

The political game is actually equivalent to a big gamble.

If you win, you will get rich overnight, and if you lose, you will go bankrupt.

Batur Huntaiji's capital is the 100,000 army in his hands, whether it is the Russian-Manchurian coalition army or the Ming Dynasty, its purpose is to make him bankrupt, so at this time, Batur Huntaiji can only choose to give it a go.

At least, there is still a way back for Batur Huntaiji, and that is the Ming Dynasty.

Only Batur Huntaiji, who cannot be turned around, is what the Ming Dynasty needs.

After the change of mentality, Batur Huntaiji was also ruthless, and he used his influence to begin to lobby other Mongolian tribes who did not want to be persecuted by the Russian-Manchurian coalition and did not join the Ming camp.

After some recruitment, he really got a lot of troops.

Now Batur Huntaiji's army has reached as many as 130,000, and all of them are cavalry, taking advantage of the local advantage to fight against the 160,000 Russian-Manchurian coalition army, it may not be without a chance of victory...........

The Junggar and Shute regions are the border between steppe and desert, with a grassy oasis to the south and an endless desert sand sea to the north.

On this day, a group of about 500 Mongolian cavalry was galloping on horseback, and behind them was a group of nearly 1,000 Russian cavalry.

"Stop! It's about to enter the desert ahead, I'm afraid there is an ambush, let's not chase it! The Mongol cavalry fled into the desert, and the Russian cavalry in the rear stopped the pursuit.

This has been happening in the region almost every day since the two sides were fighting.

Batur Huntaiji made full use of his geographical advantages, divided his army into pieces, and carried out attack and harassment tactics against the Russian-Manchurian coalition forces from various locations.

They even deliberately sent small forces to attract the enemy to pursue, or lead them into a pre-prepared ambush circle, or directly lead them into the desert.

The desert in each region has its own peculiarities, and if the Russian-Manchurian forces do not have a local guide to lead the way, once they enter rashly, they are very likely to get lost in this vast sea of sand.

This is the advantage of Batur Huntaiji, in Mobei, the biggest enemy is not the Mongol cavalry, but the complex and changeable geographical environment.

When the Ming Dynasty was strong, several expeditions to Mobei suffered great losses in this regard.

Presumably, the Russian-Manchurian coalition forces have not been able to bargain for a while now, so when they chased to the edge of the desert, the Russian army decisively abandoned the operation.

"A bunch of annoying monkeys, all they know is to escape. Better pray that I don't find their lair, or all the men will be killed and all the women will be slaves! Someone cursed.

A patrol of 20 people encountered a sudden attack by the other side, losing more than 10 comrades, and as a result, the army surrounded and suppressed, and the other side turned around and fled into the desert.

"Don't worry, I believe it won't be long before we can find their main force. I heard that our ally, a small tribe that successfully rebelled against the other party a few days ago, has already obtained the Dzungar tribe, a gathering place for some of the clansmen. We use these clansmen as bait, and we don't believe that Batur Huntaiji will not take the bait! A Russian general said.

The Russian-Manchurian coalition army is unwilling to spend a long time with Batur Huntaiji, the best way is to grasp the initiative on the battlefield, only to use the opponent's people as bait and force the other side to take the initiative to fight a decisive battle with themselves, which is the key to solving the problem of the Dzungar Department.

"I hope Batur Huntaiji will care about these people! We, the Cossack cavalry, have never encountered such a difficult opponent, and we really want to have a good fight with each other! ”

Cossacks (Ukrainian: Козаки; Russian: Каза?ки) is a nomadic community living in the steppes of Eastern Europe (Ukraine, southern Russia).

Historically, it was known for its bravery and horsemanship, and was a powerful buffer against the Russian invasion of the Tatars in the east and the Turks in the south.

Beginning in the thirteenth century, a number of Slavs, in order to escape the rule of the Kipchak Khanate in the Mongol Empire, moved to southern Russia, including the Don River valley, the lower Dnieper River and the Volga River basin.

In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, Russian and Ukrainian peasants who did not want to become serfs migrated to southern Russia after the overthrow of the Kipchak Khanate, and these people were called "Cossacks", or "free men" in their native Turkic language.

The Cossacks established some local governments in southern Russia, and the Eastern European Plain was mountainous and less mountainous, so most of the Cossack ethnic groups were named after rivers, such as the "Don Cossacks".

The Cossacks were known for their bravery and warlikeness, and in Russian history, the tsar controlled the Cossacks by bribing the Cossack elite. The cavalry composed of Cossacks was an important force of Tsarist Russia, and in recent years, in the process of Russia's expansion into Siberia, the Cossack cavalry was the main support of Tsarist Russia.

The Cossacks were not a separate people, but a military group.

Its members are mainly Slavs (such as Ukrainians, Belarusians and Poles, especially Russians), in addition to a small number of Tatars, Caucasians, Georgians, Kalmyks and Turks.

This time, in order to take the Mongolian steppe, Tsarist Russia spent a lot of money, and the Cossack cavalry alone sent 60,000 people.

These guys originally had a trace of mercenary nature, most of them only fought for gold and silver treasures, in order to win, it can be said that there is no moral bottom line, and it is the norm to slaughter the unarmed people of the enemy country, in addition to deterring the enemy, is to collect the property of these people.

Recently, Batur Huntaiji led the Mongol cavalry, causing a lot of trouble for the Cossack cavalry, and with the revenge of the other party, those people of the Dzungar tribe who were found were estimated to suffer.

Sure enough, three days later, a gathering place of 30,000 men in the Hoshut region was slaughtered by Cossack cavalry.

In addition to the young women who can be used as commodities, even the babies who are full moon are not spared............

Moreover, the Manchu Qing were able to find the gathering place of the Dzungar tribe by plotting against Batur Huntaiji's subordinates, and naturally they could also find the rest of the gathering place through the people in the gathering place.

In the following war, the nature began to change, and the Russian-Manchurian coalition army did not look for the main force of Batur Huntaiji everywhere, but concentrated its forces, a gathering point, a gathering place to carry out massacres.

From small villages of a few dozen people to cities of tens of thousands, the Russian-Manchu army slaughtered four gathering points in a row, and nearly 35,000 innocent people died under the butcher's knives of the Cossack cavalry.

At this time, Batur Huntaiji finally couldn't sit still.

Losing his army, Batur Huntaiji was at best weakened and unable to become the strongest tribal leader in the Mongolian steppe.

But if even his people are dead, then what is the use of his army?

There are no common people, no cattle, no sheep, no horses, no supplies, what can he do to feed these armies?

And even if he could endure it, his subordinates wouldn't be able to, after all, many of the slaughtered tribes had joined his army.

If Batur Huntaiji wanted to continue to be a shrunken turtle, he didn't need the Russian-Manchurian coalition to do anything, and his army dispersed on its own.

In this way, the Cossack cavalry slaughtered the city, and finally forced Batur Huntaiji, who was immersed in "guerrilla warfare", to the forefront...........
