Chapter 685: A Not-Too-Serious War
On the steppe.
Lin Dan Khan, who received the letter of alliance from Huang Taiji, was even more furious.
Huang Taiji beat him when he wanted to, and formed an alliance when he wanted to, but he really didn't take him seriously. However, after a burst of thunder, Lin Dan Khan had to think about this matter again.
Huang Taiji's letter is still written very sincerely, and the so-called words are just that. The actions of the Ming Dynasty were analyzed quite well, and the reason why the Ming Dynasty had a nine-sided supervisor was to deal with the people outside the entire Guan, this person, naturally, also included him Lin Dan Khan. The Ming Dynasty was weak before and had to unite with him, but now the Ming Dynasty is strong and has its own imperial army, so it may not need Lin Dan Khan. The Ming Dynasty destroyed him Dajin, and the hind foot will definitely destroy him Lin Dan Khan.
To change this state, only when all the people on the grassland unite and work together against the Ming Dynasty can we be sure, and only in this way can we prevent the Ming Dynasty from annexing it.
Lin Dan Khan is also an ambitious person, but his luck is not very good. After reading the letter that Huang Taiji gave him, he also believed a little in his heart, but he knew that he knew, but he couldn't do it, this was a doomed thing. In the past few years, he has killed a river of blood on the grassland, killing the XXX right wing, especially the Harashen Department, and has formed a mortal enmity with the XXX Right Wing Departments, and has been entangled until now, during which the two sides have also fought several times, with many casualties. And Huang Taiji has also fought with him for many years, and last year he robbed a lot of people, livestock and property from him, and finally lost even the pasture, which is also a blood feud. And Huang Taiji and the XXX right-wing departments are sworn by the White Horse, and the relationship is very good. With the relationship between these three parties on their steppe, it is simply wishful thinking to unite against the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Dan Khan seems to have aged a lot in an instant, and heroes also have shortness of breath.
"Alas......" Lin Dan Khan let out a long sigh and picked up the letter he wanted to tear up and showed it to the others in the sweat tent.
"State affairs, that day is the minister, look at what Ben Khan should do." Lin Dan said in a weak voice.
Sharba Hutuktu took the letter and looked at it carefully.
The situation on the grassland is really complicated, and the Ming Dynasty in the south is gradually recovering its strength and is invincible. Huang Taiji's Jin is even more aggressive in the east, constantly driving away and devouring Lin Dan Khan's strength. And the xxx right-wing departments in the west are also constantly entangled with Lin Dan Khan, and their strength is also constantly consumed, these four sides, except for the north, which is relatively peaceful, is a strong support accident, and the other three sides are all ill-intentioned. In the face of such a situation, the state affairs of Sharba Hutuketu was also helpless, perhaps, the Lin Dan Khan he chose was not enough to be his reliance, nor was it enough to become the support of their Red Sect.
Who is his Red Sect relying on? Without the support of a strong Khan, his religion would not have been able to accomplish much. Lin Dan Khan retreated in the east and shrank in the west, in fact, the strength of the territory has been greatly reduced, and the future is even more uncertain, and even said that it is very bad, and he should choose whether to accompany Lin Dan Khan to the end, or find another way and seek a dependent.
Dajin's Huang Taiji seems to be fighting hotly with the xxx right-wing tribes, the xxx right-wing tribes actually believe in the Yellow Sect, and they will not be much interested in him, Huang Taiji was also forced by the Ming Dynasty to have no way to go to the sky, and there is no way to go down, although he can chase Lin Dan Khan to fight, but he is also chased and beaten by the Ming Dynasty, he belongs to the tragic person, and he looks like a beautiful person in front of Lin Dan Khan, in fact, he is also a tragic figure.
xxx The right-wing tribes, the sweats of each family, don't seem to be too interested in his Red Sect, they are also fighting with the Yellow Sect, and he wants to get mixed up from the Yellow Sect, but he is afraid that it is impossible.
Is he going to rely on the Ming Dynasty? Relying on the Ming Emperor? Sharba Hutuketu's thoughts are very confused, the situation on the grassland, the situation is already very clear, if you don't make a decision quickly, it will be too late for anything, and your mind is not here at all Lin Dan Khan.
After reading Huang Taiji's letter, and giving the letter to Lin Dan Khan's minister, Na Rinai, he began to think about Lin Dan Khan.
The minister's energy is obviously not as good as before, even if he closes his eyes most of the day to recuperate, but the energy still can't last long, and it is not easy to survive this winter.
The other people in the sweat tent also circulated letters, and those who were illiterate also inquired about the situation. β¦,
"How do state affairs look at this?" Lin Dan Khan first asked Sharba Khutuktu.
"Great Khan, this matter, what is said in the letter, but it is a fact, the Ming Dynasty is powerful, and it has to be guarded against, but, Great Khan, can you still form an alliance with the Jin and xxx right-wing tribes?" Sharba Hutuktu's mind just now was not here with Lin Dan Khan at all, he had already drifted to I don't know where to go, and after reading the letter, he hurriedly picked up the views in the letter and said something casually, Sharba Hutuktu's heart was already in chaos, thinking about how his Red Sect was, and what other good ideas were there for Lin Dan Khan.
Lin Dan Khan looked at the national teacher who was in a trance, thinking that the national teacher was hurting for him Lin Dan Khan, and seeing that the national teacher was conclusive, he also believed it.
"What do you think, what do you think?" Lin Dan Khan asked him another important minister.
"Does the Great Khan really have the courage to let go of the blood feud with the xxx right-wing tribes and Jin?" The minister read the letter that day, and closed his eyes to recuperate, people are old, and their energy is even weaker, after reading the letter for a while, their eyes are sour, and they have to recuperate for a while, and they heard Lin Dan Khan ask, and then they opened their eyes and answered.
Lin Dan Khan didn't know how to answer, could he let go of this blood feud? Can you overcome yourself with reason? Huang Taiji's letter is indeed very sincere, and the situation is analyzed very well, but can he really make up his mind?
ββ¦β¦ Can the Great Khan make this determination, can the Jin and xxx right-wing tribes make this determination? The minister did not wait for Lin Dan Khan's answer that day, and asked again.
Lin Dan Khan's psychology was even weaker and helpless, and he could guess the possibility and situation of forming an alliance......
"Forming an alliance with Jin, Huang Taiji is naturally happy, he can escape into the grassland, hide from the Ming Dynasty, the Great Khan and him form an alliance to deal with the Ming Dynasty together, who should he listen to? If there is a stalemate with the Ming Dynasty for several years, how much pasture does the Great Khan have to give to the more and more powerful Jin? "The minister was completely from the standpoint of Lin Dan Khan that day, but he was too old and his energy was not enough, this matter was too complicated, and he was also powerless.
Lin Dan Khan was even weaker.
ββ¦β¦ The alliance between the Great Khan and Jin is equivalent to an alliance with the xxx right-wing tribes, and the Great Khan killed so many of them, so they willingly formed an alliance with the Great Khan? Did they listen to the Great Khan, or did they listen to Huang Taiji? Is this three-party alliance an alliance against the Ming Dynasty, or an alliance with the family of the Great Khan? The minister continued.
Lin Dan Khan was even more speechless.
"That day is the minister, how to face the persecution of the Ming Dynasty in the future, the Ming Dynasty is now strong, powerful, and the Imperial Association Army is the forerunner, it may not be that there is no will to rob the grassland, if you don't form an alliance with the Jin, xxx right-wing tribes, how to resist the Ming Dynasty in the future?" Lin Dan Khan asked.
"The blood feud is too deep......" that day muttered, on the grassland, there has always been only one king, and Huang Taiji, xxx right-wing tribes alliance, these three parties will definitely fight for a victory, fight for a king, in the current situation, Lin Dan Khan can not compete for Huang Taiji at all, the alliance, the consequence of letting Huang Taiji into the grassland is that Lin Dan Khan is defeated in the grassland for the king, becoming a stepping stone for Huang Taiji. In this way, it is better to still form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty now, but that day it was too deep in the blood feud to oppose the alliance.
ββ¦β¦ Forming an alliance with Huang Taiji is undoubtedly like entering the mouth of a wolf, Huang Taiji is a wolf who can eat people, he will not be well-hearted, he was beaten by the Ming Dynasty, he will only come to rob our tribe, rob our women, rob our pastures, Great Khan, we can't form an alliance with Huang Taiji......" In the sweat tent, other status tribal leaders also spoke.
"Great Khan, how can we form an alliance with Harashen and Tumut for our blood vendetta against us? Great Khan, we have to take revenge! Some tribal leaders also became anxious and shouted. Lin Dan Khan was really cool when he killed the Harashen Department, but when he turned around, he was beaten very badly by the rest of the Harashen Tribe, even the Mentumut, and Woer Divisions, and suffered heavy losses.
In the sweat tent, most of them are not in favor of alliances.
Lin Dan Khan's psychology is quite contradictory, and his psychology is also clear, in the face of the aggressiveness of the Ming Dynasty, he should indeed make enough precautions, but sometimes, he can't control the situation.
"What do you think about state affairs?" There was a lot of noise in the sweat tent for a while, and all that Lin Dan Khan heard was non-alignment, and there were no people who supported him in forming an alliance, so he could only give up the idea of forming an alliance. β¦,
"Great Khan, there are too many blood feuds in alliances!" The national teacher Shalba Hutuketu said, he definitely doesn't want to form an alliance, the actual alliance is a tragedy for him, in the case of Huang Taiji and xxx right-wing both believe in the Yellow Sect, his Red Sect will inevitably be squeezed, and even become a victim of the tripartite struggle, naturally I don't want the three to form an alliance, the deeper the alliance of the three, the more he is a stumbling block between the three families, and naturally he does not want the three families to form an alliance.
Lin Dan Khan looked at the minister Na Ri Nai again, Na Ri Nai pressed his eyes tightly, did not open his eyes, Lin Dan Khan knew that Na Ri Nai also did not approve of the alliance.
Looking at the other people in Kahan's tent, they were all looking at them with anger, Lin Dan Khan knew that it was impossible to form an alliance.
Refusing to form an alliance became Lin Dan Khan's only option.
After the sweat tent was scattered.
Lin Dan Khan left the national teacher and Na Ri Nai again, and there were some things that he could only ask quietly.
"National teacher, since there is no alliance, what should we do next? The Ming Dynasty is powerful, and it is obvious that it will not be good or bad! Lin Dan Khan asked. At this time, the other people in the sweat tent have dispersed, and there are only these few henchmen, so this question can be asked.
"Great Khan, at this time, should inform the Ming Emperor of the news of Huang Taiji's request for an alliance, and ask the Ming Emperor for more things to expand his strength, and now the Great Khan is still united with the Ming Dynasty to ......, although it is far away from Jinning, it is inconvenient to transport materials, but this is the problem of the Ming Dynasty, not the problem of the Great Khan, the Great Khan just asks, I believe that the Ming Emperor read Huang Taiji's letter to the Great Khan, and will definitely give it......" Sharba Hutuketu's mind was a little erratic, and the idea of giving Lin Dan Khan did not know whether it was really for the good of Lin Dan Khan, or if he was harming Lin Dan Khan.
"The national teacher has a point...... Lin Danhan nodded. After speaking, he looked at the minister Na Ri Na, there were many people at that time, he couldn't ask this question, and now there is no one, he hopes to get the advice of the minister Na Ri Na.
seemed to feel Lin Dan Khan's gaze, Na Ri Nai opened his eyes, and said: "The national teacher is right, the Great Khan intuitively asks for things from the Ming Emperor, and there will be a harvest...... "Nai also agreed with the idea of the national teacher Shalba Hutu Ketu.
"This is no problem, but the Ming Emperor will definitely press forward step by step, destroy Huang Taiji, may not be able to make a move against Ben Khan, Ming Huang does not make a move, it does not mean that the Imperial Association Army does not want to make a move, at that time, the Ming Emperor is strong, Ben Khan is weak, what should I do?" Lin Dan Khan asked.
"Great Khan, it's really not good, the Great Khan can temporarily retreat into Moxi and Mobei and wait for the opportunity, and one day, return to the grassland......" Nai said calmly. There were a lot of people before, and he didn't say anything about it, for fear of affecting everyone's mood, but now that there is no one, he can say it.
"Moxi, Mobei?" Lin Dan Khan said, this is a bitter cold place!
β¦β¦
Spring is on, and the snow and ice are beginning to melt.
On the front of Liaodong, the people of the Ming Dynasty gradually became active, and the war began to quietly change.
β¦β¦
Forbidden city.
Yang Reform is discussing the military in the platform.
"The tone of the right-wing departments is quite big, they dare to claim that there are 150,000 horses, not to mention the threat, but also to disband the Imperial Association Army, and give up the territory of Datong and Xuanfu outside the Guanwai ......, hehehe, this tone is ......" Yang Reform said with a smile. For the strength of the various departments on the grassland, through the military intelligence bureau for such a long time, Yang Reform even knows more clearly than the leaders of the various departments on the grassland, and as soon as he came up, he was known as 100,000 elites, which made Yang Reform feel funny, this number was used to scare the former Ming Dynasty monarchs and ministers, and it was okay to scare himself, it was really funny, he had money and had the ability to register for Houjin, although xxx was not as detailed as Houjin's side, but it was not xxx people who could bluff people by casually reporting a number.
In the platform, those people in the past are Yuan Chonghuan left.
"Back to Your Majesty, 150,000 is indeed a bit of a boast, Your Majesty should be cautious about ......," Yuan Chonghuan said.
"Hehehe, what do you think of this matter? What's next? Yang Gengai asked with a smile.
"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that according to the pre-prediction, a large-scale conscription of the Imperial Alliance Army should be immediately conscripted, and the new army should also be in place......," Yuan Chonghuan said.
"Well, the Qing family is right, it should indeed be done like this...... Yang Reform nodded, this matter, in fact, Sun Chengzong is already doing it, to Jixuan, in addition to using the border army, that is, to assemble and mobilize the Imperial Army. The border army needs to be dealt with before it can be activated, and the Imperial Association Army is not the same. β¦,
"Your Majesty, judging from the current situation, the combined strength of the Tumut and Wo'er Divisions is only about 80,000 people, and it is impossible to have 150,000 people, judging from the intelligence of the Military Intelligence Bureau, there are at least one or two percent of them who want to join our Imperial Cooperative Army, counting up, the 150,000 combined army, the actual strength of the Imperial Cooperative Army is only 50,000 or 60,000 troops, and it is ......actually on par with the strength of the Imperial Cooperative Army of our dynasty. I'm afraid that more tribes will join our Imperial Army, in fact, it is more than enough to fight this coalition army with the Imperial Army......," Yuan Chonghuan said again, changing his words. Standing at the top of the Ming Dynasty and looking at this war again, Yuan Chonghuan was quite touched, the enemy's every move can be said to be well understood, and there is even such a ......thing as registering the Dongyu, and fighting against this coalition army, Yuan Chonghuan feels that he is not very serious, and he is really not serious.
In the case of complete transparency of the enemy situation, this coalition army with 150,000 horses and horses is indeed funny, Yuan Chonghuan wants to tell the emperor that he must face up to this coalition army, and he must be cautious to avoid defeat. But the actual situation, in this coalition army, there are still many tribes who want to defect to the Ming Dynasty, and they are already in contact with the Military Intelligence Bureau, but the geographical location or situation does not allow it to become the Imperial Association Army for the time being, if it really fights, these people are mixed up in the back to make trouble, what kind of coalition army wants to win, it is really a ghost, there are these internal should be in it, the dynamics of this coalition can be said to be clear, Da Ming can easily deal with it, fight this kind of war with too strong perspective, even if Yuan Chonghuan wants to be more serious, he wants to be serious about his opponent, It's really impossible to mention much seriousness, this battle, as long as it's not an idiot or a fool, as long as the Ming Dynasty doesn't mess around and doesn't mess around, it's impossible to lose.
"Yes, this coalition army is not a big trouble, and the Imperial Alliance Army doesn't need to greet them all, the Dongyu has already entered the grassland, and it is possible to risk going south to knock on the pass, but I have to guard against this, my court's henchmen are still in trouble!" Yang Gai said. To tell the truth, Yang Reform has never looked down on any coalition forces of this xxx right-wing departments, even if Yang Reform does nothing, let them knock on the gate, according to the existing defensive measures of the Ming Dynasty, these people can only be deflated in front of the systematic defensive measures of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to do anything at all.
"Your Majesty is right, this battle of nine sides and thousands of miles, the most dangerous, is the battle of Liaodong, the victory of Liaodong, everything can be done, if there is an accident in the battle of Liaodong, it will be troublesome, Jixuan, Datong, Shaanxi trilateral strategy is ......wasted," Yuan Chonghuan said.
"Yes! All this depends on Master Sun and Old Madam Qin, I hope God will bless you and you can settle the battle in one battle. Yang reformed. In this battle, the configuration of the last time was still adopted, Sun Chengzong was in charge, Qin Liangyu was in charge of the actual command of the battlefield, and the cavalry of Jinning, Dongjiang Town and Mangui were assisted. Based on Yang Reform's judgment, the super version of the white pole soldier should be able to beat Dongyu out of temper. ROοΌγ
