Chapter 631: Huang Taiji's Deployment
Chapter 631: The Deployment of Huang Taiji
(06
[I accidentally made a mistake in the previous chapter, Huang Taiji should be called Jierharang "Adou", not "Ahun". Ah Dou is the younger brother, and Ah Hun is the elder brother. Sorry, it's been changed. 】
Zilharan explained in detail why Azig was defeated. According to his explanation, the main reason was that Azig underestimated the enemy, and as a result, he was ambushed by the Tiger Army. He also explained that the strength of the Tiger Army was also quite strong, and Brigadier General Zhang's main forces of the Tiger Army were all concentrated near Dongjiabao. The strength of the Tiger Ben Army is more than twice that of the Zhenghong Banner.
"More than twice?"
Azig snorted softly.
"Azig, you are not qualified to speak, you just have to listen"
Huang Taiji said angrily, mercilessly cutting Azig's face.
Azig sneered slightly, but did not speak. However, his expression obviously aroused the curiosity of some Mongolian princes and nobles. They are not idiots, and naturally feel that Azig's failure must be a little strange. And Huang Taiji is to hide the eccentricity.
"That's what happened."
Zilharang finally said.
"We must retaliate"
"No one can stand in our way"
Huang Taiji set the tone for this military meeting.
None of us here have any objection to this. The purpose of their southward march was to plunder people and supplies. Now, this looting is strongly resisted, and of course they have to find a way to destroy it. The Tiger Ben Army is the great hatred of the Dajin Kingdom, and the Dajin Army has suffered a loss, so it must find a way to take revenge. The question is, how can you get revenge?
"Go south and bulldoze Dongjiabao"
Hauge stood up and said loudly.
This is what the vast majority of Tartar leaders think,
Since Zhang Zhun is in Dongjiabao, then the whole army will go south and fight to the death with Zhang Zhun.
At present, the Dajin Army can be described as strong and strong, and even if the strength of the Zhenghong Banner is damaged, there are still 70,000 or 80,000 people. Most of them are cavalry units with super mobility and are good at salvo fire. Such a large number of troops has never been seen before. If you have such a strong power in your hands, but you can't return with a full load in the end, you will hit the wall.
Zilharang groaned and said, "Who wants to go south and take the initiative to attack Dongjiabao? ”
Hauge couldn't wait to say, "I'll go"
Zaisangbu and Ye said: "The warriors of the Horqin grassland are also willing to go. ”
Among the various tribes in Mongolia, the most intimate relationship with the Dajin Kingdom is, of course, the Horqin tribe. In addition to the marriage between each other, the interests of the two are also the most intimate. In the first two invasions, the Horqin tribe has already gained great benefits. After tasting the sweetness, they naturally followed closely behind Dajin Jun's ass. On the turf, the two are also bordering, and they can communicate at any time. To the east of the Horqin tribe is the city of Guangning, which is controlled by the Dajin Kingdom.
This time, the Horqin tribe dispatched a full 18,000 cavalry, which was definitely the largest number. Lin Dan Khan claimed to be 400,000 iron horsemen back then, but in fact, they were all bragged, and less than 50,000 people really belonged to him. Now, the Horqin tribe has dispatched 18,000 people in one go, without any discount at all, almost comparable to all the main forces of Lin Dan Khan back then.
"The steppe warriors are good friends of the Manchurian warriors"
"There is no doubt about it"
Huang Taiji was very satisfied with Zai Sangbuhe's statement.
Jae Sambu-ho's statement is very crucial. He was the most powerful of the three tribes, and his statement had a great impact on the leaders of the other tribes in Mongolia. Since Zaisangbu and the other Mongolian tribal leaders actually had other thoughts in their hearts, they didn't dare to reveal them in the real way.
If everything goes smoothly in the process of the southern strategy, Huang Taiji will not see the substantive mentality of the Mongolian tribes. However, now that Azig's Zhenghong Banner is in trouble, Nanlu seems to have encountered some setbacks, and the Mongol tribes have very different thoughts, and he can see a lot of ways to come.
The Horqin tribe can be trusted unconditionally, and the Harashen tribe has no major problems for the time being, but the mentality of the Tumut tribe may waver. If the Dajin Army continues to lose, this wavering mentality will be even more obvious.
The Tumut tribe has always followed Lin Dan Khan. Azhislan was also one of Lin Dan Khan's cronies. Lin Dan Khan fell ill and died, and his son Ezhe was incompetent and incompetent to continue to command the Mongol tribes, and was destroyed by the Dajin army. Lin Dan Khan's eight wives were also all received by Huang Taiji, Haoge, Zilharang, Daishan, Abatai and others, including the beautiful Namu Zhong.
In fact, Lin Dan Khan's few blessings are rare, and they are indeed envied by many people. Within the Mongols, there were quite a few people who tried to beat them. Especially during Lin Dan Khan's serious illness, his blessings were not willing to be lonely, and most of them had connections with other Mongolian leaders. One of them was the leader of the Tumut tribe, Arislan.
Nomadic women do not have any concept of chastity, and remarriage and transfer of family are commonplace. In the past, one of Genghis Khan's wives was snatched by his own enemies, ** pregnant, and later snatched back by Genghis Khan, and he didn't deal with it much, and he was still one of Genghis Khan's wives. Her child was born and was also listed as the son of Genghis Khan, but later he was not very famous.
Arislan's strength is good, and he also has more than 10,000 troops. Without the intervention of Huang Taiji, after the death of Lin Dan Khan, Arislan would have had a chance to become the new Mongol Khan. According to the consistent practice of the Mongols, he could accept all these blessings of Lin Dan Khan and become his own blessings. That's exactly what Arislan wants. However, as soon as Huang Taiji intervened, Arislan was empty of people and money.
Seeing Huang Taiji's eyes staring at him, Arislan hurriedly said: "Chechen Khan, I am willing to lead the army to attack Dongjiabao without getting Zhang Zhun's head, and never return."
After Haoge, Yue Tuo and others conquered the city of Guihua and finally submitted to the Mongolian tribes, a total of 49 large and small lords of the sixteen tribes of Mongol in southern Mongolia gathered in Shenyang, recognized Huang Taiji as Khan, and presented "Bogda? Chechen Khan". Therefore, Azhislan wanted to call Huang Taiji as Chechen Khan. This title, which is only one level lower than the former Genghis Khan, also means that it is rich all over the world.
Huang Taiji saw Arislan's gaze wandering, and he knew that this guy was insincere. He knew that he had robbed the other party's woman, and the other party must be uncomfortable in his heart. Desna Fujin, whom Hauge married, is said to be the former boss of Arislan. It's just that he is afraid of the strong strength of the Dajin Kingdom, and he doesn't dare to openly oppose the Dajin Kingdom.
According to some information, Arislan has always had a very close relationship with Lin Dan Khan's younger brother Shatu Taiji. And Shatu Taiji was one of the ten sumu of the iron lance Konot. After the Dajin army conquered the city of Guihua, Shatu Taiji's whereabouts were unknown. Huang Taiji had every reason to suspect that Shatu Taiji was lurking in the shadows, trying to disadvantage the Dajin Kingdom.
The Iron Lance Konot, that is, Lin Dan Khan's personal army, got its name because of the equipment of the Iron Lance. The Mongols lacked iron, and it was remarkable that they were able to use iron lances as weapons. In addition, the iron lance Konott is also equipped with the standard armor of the Ming cavalry, and the protective performance is also quite good. Su Mu means to dominate. The Iron Lance Knot, also known as the Iron Lance, has a total of ten commanders. The number of troops is about 20,000.
Due to its well-equipped, the Iron Lance Konot was originally relatively combat-ready and had always been an important force for Lin Dan Khan to maintain his position. However, during his serious illness, the ten commanders had different minds and fierce infighting, and some even tried to launch a rebellion and seize the throne, but were killed by Lin Dan Khan. Due to internal chaos, after Ezhe came to power, he was eventually taken advantage of by the Daejin army. If it weren't for the internal strife and division of the Iron Lance Soldiers, Naturalization City would not have fallen so quickly.
This Arislan can't be fully trusted, this is the judgment made by Huang Taiji. Since he can't be trusted, this guy can't just let it out. In other words, you can't leave your side. For those who don't trust, Huang Taiji has to keep an eye on him all the time, and even consider finding a way to remove him. Therefore, Huang Taiji said with a smile: "The warriors of the Tumut tribe have more important tasks. You are responsible for monitoring the movements of the Kyoshi. ”
Arislan's gaze suddenly dimmed. He's not stupid. On the contrary, he is smart. Someone who can control a tribe, which one is a fool? Arislan understood that he was suspected by Huang Taiji, and he was afraid that he would not have a good time in the future. However, on the surface, he looked respectful, and said reverently: "The words of Chechen Khan are the decree of the Immortal Heaven, and Arislan obeys the holy decree. ”
Huang Taiji smiled slightly, nodded lightly, and did not speak.
This Arislan knows how to see the wind and make the rudder, and when he finds that he is under suspicion, he immediately shows a very pious appearance, trying to lower his suspicion. However, it is precisely because his ability to steer the rudder when he sees the wind is too strong that Huang Taiji will take special care of him. If you can be so reverent to me, how can you be equally religious in the presence of others?
The location of the Tumut tribe is far away from the core hinterland of the Dajin Kingdom, near the city of Guihua (now Hohhot, Inner Mongolia), and the Mongols in this area have always been relatively close to the Ming people. The Ming Kingdom was in Datong Prefecture in the south, and Arima City was set up. The Tumut tribe can directly exchange war horses for various materials from the Ming Kingdom, and basically do not need to rely on the snort of the Dajin Kingdom.
What Huang Taiji was most worried about was that the Ming people vigorously co-opted the Tumut tribe and armed the Tumut tribe's cavalry with advanced equipment. For the original iron lance Knot, Huang Taiji still has some scruples. The so-called iron lance Konott is actually a Mongolian cavalry fully equipped with the Ming army. If it weren't for their internal split, the Dajin Army might not be able to kill them all at once.
He even thought that if this guy hooked up with Zhang Zhun, maybe the Mongolian steppe would be in danger. With Zhang Zhun's eyes, it is impossible not to realize the value of the Tumut tribe. For the Ming Kingdom, as long as the Tumut tribe is pulled, not only is there no shortage of war horses, but also a fairly elite cavalry can be obtained, which must be guarded against
"Huh...... Why am I thinking so far ahead? ”
Huang Taiji suddenly tapped his finger lightly with self-deprecation.
This action of his was seen by everyone around him. It's just that no one understands what Huang Taiji's action means. How could they have imagined that in such a long time, Huang Taiji's thoughts would actually leap so far? Zhang Zhun and the prairie...... Is there any connection?
Hadanbatar, the leader of the Harasan tribe, stood up and said in a loud voice, "I will go too"
This guy is a typical Mongolian man, with a relatively simple head and a very loud voice. Of course, simplicity is only relative. What simple-minded person can be in a high position? He was also one of the top ten sumu of the iron lance Knott that year, and he was still known for his bravery. What Huang Taiji admires most about him is not his bravery, but his discord with Arislan.
The location of the Harasan tribe is north of the Shanhai Pass. Because of the war between the Ming Kingdom and the Dajin Kingdom, there is no horse market here. In other words, the Harasan tribe could not obtain supplies from the Ming Kingdom, and had to go through the Tumut tribe. The Tumut tribe intentionally or unintentionally made things difficult for the Harashen tribe and took a discount from it. Normally, a war horse can be exchanged for fifteen taels of silver, but after passing through the hands of the Tumut tribe, it can only be exchanged for ten taels, or even less than ten taels. It would be strange that Hadanbatel was not angry with Arislan.
Huang Taiji nodded and said, "Okay, the warriors of the Harashen tribe should also go."
The leaders of several other small Mongolian tribes also stood up one after another, expressing their willingness to lead troops to Dongjiabao and completely bulldoze Zhang Zhun. They are a small tribe, and what they need most is population and materials to strengthen themselves. For this reason, their enthusiasm for going south is very high, and they will never retreat easily.
Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "Everyone, in our eyes, we can't be the only one who is Zhang Zhun. He doesn't deserve to be with all of us. You have more important tasks ahead of you. ”
Go for trouble with Zhang Zhun, that's for sure.
However, this is not enough. The Dajin Army not only wants to find trouble with Zhang Zhun himself, but also wants to completely eradicate Zhang Zhun's lair. In other words, it is necessary to raze both Laizhou and Dengzhou to the ground. In short, there are two ways to divide the soldiers. went all the way to attack Dongjiabao, and continued to go deep into Shandong all the way, but eradicated Zhang Zhun's lair.
As for the Ming army around Jingshi, there is no need to worry too much. The combat effectiveness of the Ming army is limited, even if it fights and suddenly attacks, causing some damage to the Dajin army, it will definitely not be the opponent of the Dajin army. In addition, judging from the information collected, the Ming court should be happy to see the destruction of the Tiger Army.
"Hauge, you and Abatai led the army south to Shandong to clamp down on the Ming army around Jinan Mansion."
"Yue Tuo, Zilharang, you lead the army to attack the Laizhou Mansion and the Dengzhou Mansion."
"The others, together with me, will lead the army to attack Dongjiabao."
Huang Taiji was quickly deployed.
The war machine of the Dajin Army immediately and quickly became operational.
