Mongol Tumut Clan's Tent:

A sturdy man in ornate armor with a sturdy figure and a stubble beard was sitting upright on a throne symbolizing the supreme power of the Khan, sipping mare's milk wine while looking at the Han people kneeling at their feet.

This man is none other than the Khan of the Tumut tribe, I replied.

I Da belongs to the Son Jin clan, a descendant of Genghis Khan's golden family, and a grandson of Dayan Khan.

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, its tribe was nomadic in the area of Hohhot in present-day Inner Mongolia, and then gradually became stronger, and became the leader of the right-wing Mongolian tribe in Liaodong. The control area extends from Xuanhua and Datong in the east, to the Hetao in the west, to the Gobi Desert in the north, and to the Great Wall in the south. Later, in order to open up pastures, he drove the tile thorns to Kobdo, conquered Qinghai, and even used troops in Tibet for a time.

In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing (1550), after sending envoys to open tributary trade many times without success, I came to Beijing, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and asked the Ming Dynasty government to open border trade by force, which is known as the Gengxu Change. In the thirtieth year of Jiajing (1551), the Ming Dynasty was forced to open Xuanfu and Datong to trade horses with Mongolia. Soon after, the Ming Dynasty rejected the Mongol demand to trade cattle and sheep, unilaterally closed the horse market, and the two sides went to war again.

If Tumen Khan and Dong Fox were robbers who threatened the safety of Jimen and Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, I was definitely a large group of bandits who could threaten the safety of the capital of the Ming Dynasty, with more than 100,000 people under their command, and they had defeated many famous generals of the Ming Dynasty several times. Its soldiers are almost unstoppable, and the Jimen defense line of the Ming Dynasty in the Jiajing period is almost no different from the paper paste in front of the iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty.

Now this Ming Dynasty monarch and minister hated the root of his teeth, and the strongest warlord leader in Mongolia who had long wanted to get rid of him was listening to the report of Zhao Quan, an important dog-legged man under his command.

"Great Khan, Li Rusong is insidious and cunning, directly taking advantage of the contradiction between Tumen Khan and Dong Fox to provoke a war between the Tuban tribe and the Duoyan tribe. took the opportunity to defeat these two people and Hedong, and then defeated Wang Gao, Meng Gelu, Qing Jianu and other Jurchen tribes in succession. Kneeling respectfully on the ground and kissing my shoes, Zhao Quan said respectfully like a dog.

"Oh!? This kid is amazing, he can defeat so many strong enemies in just a few years. Can you find out more about him? A hint of surprise flashed in my eyes, and I asked as I took a sip of the wine in my glass.

"Qi Qi Great Khan, his subordinates sent dozens of people to the dangerous mountains before. But for some reason, his whereabouts were exposed, and he was all killed by Li Rusong. I heard that Li Rusong has a very strong new army under his command, and he manufactures a large number of firearms, and currently has 10,000 soldiers in dangerous mountains. Cautiously glanced at me and saw that the former did not have the slightest dissatisfaction, Zhao Quan took a deep breath and continued:

Moreover, Li Rusong himself is extremely insidious and cunning, and every battle must come up with all kinds of strange tricks to confuse the enemy, and he is good at using the tactics of cavalry raids and night raids. And based on the information that came back before, the dangerous mountains under Li Rusong's rule have become extremely rich, and several previously abandoned tunbao have been restored, with hundreds of thousands of people and a large amount of wealth. Great Khan, his subordinates think that if this person is not removed, he will definitely become a big trouble for you to dominate the Central Plains! ”

"What?! This person is actually good at commanding cavalry battles? How effective is the cavalry under his command, compared to my Mongolian iron cavalry? Hearing that the other party was actually a general of the Ming army who was good at commanding cavalry, my tone suddenly revealed a sense of vigilance and vigilance.

Although most of the reasons for the Mongolian iron cavalry's invincibility in fighting with the Ming army were the corruption and low combat effectiveness of the Ming army itself, the role of its cavalry was also undoubted.

In the era of cold weapons, cavalry was the nemesis of almost all arms, and a well-trained and well-equipped cavalry unit could use its powerful impact and flexibility to defeat or even completely annihilate infantry units several times its size.

You must know that the reason why Genghis Khan was able to eliminate Khorezm back then was that tens of thousands of iron horsemen under his command could quickly move back and forth in a small space in a short period of time, scattering the opponent's strong forces into various types, and finally breaking each one.

Restricted by the terrain and environmental conditions, after the Ming Dynasty became the ancestor Zhu Di, the Ming army had almost no large-scale formed cavalry establishment, and only a small number of thousands of people existed as cavalry for escort or mobile troops. All of these greatly weakened the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, and at the same time provided a God-given opportunity for the Mongol iron cavalry to invade the Central Plains.

What I am most afraid of is not the artillery of the fortified city, nor the Ming army dozens of times more than his own, the former can not afford to hide, there are always loopholes to follow, and the latter is not the opponent of the battle-hardened cavalry under his command, which can fight well.

However, if there is a cavalry unit of about 30,000 in the Ming army, which has been carefully trained and equipped with advanced weapons and armor of the Ming army, and there is a general who is good at using cavalry to lead. Then I believe that I will be caught up in an endless battle with this cavalry for the rest of my life!

"Zhao Quan, you take my token, choose the reliable people in the tribe at will, and the best works under your command, and send them all to the dangerous mountain. Temporarily stop activities in other parts of the Ming Dynasty, concentrate on the intelligence of the exploration mountain, and if that Li Rusong is really as tough as you say, try to kill him. If you can't kill it, tell Ben Khan immediately, and Ben Khan will personally lead the army to crusade" After thinking for a while, I made up my mind, and directly took out my waist card and handed it to Zhao Quan.

In my thoughts, Zhao Quan is a vicious dog under his command, if there is anything to do, let the vicious dog go up to test the truth first, and he will take his henchmen to watch the excitement in the back. In case the vicious dog fails, wouldn't it be nice to go up and do the fatal blow after the most relenting and loot in the dangerous mountains?

The most important thing is that Li Rusong actually defeated a series of local heroes such as Tumen Khan, Dong Fox, Wang Gao, Meng Gelu, and Qing Jianu one after another, which made me very vigilant:

It's like a wolf suddenly discovering that a wolf is a hundred times stronger than himself near his territory!

"If this person is not removed, it will be a big trouble for my henchmen!"
