"Not busy!"

Wang Zaijin grabbed Zhang Ke's arm, smiled and said, "Yongzhen, is it appropriate for me to call it that?" ”

"The ministry is a senior, and he is a strategic minister, so he can naturally do it." Zhang Ke said with a smile.

"Well, the old man is just a few years older. As a general, he is not shocked by changes, and Mount Tai collapses in front of him without changing his face. After all, it's not an hour, half an hour, if you leave, I'm afraid that the big guy won't have the heart to drink this meal! ”

This, Zhang Ke groaned slightly, and said: "Ministry, I am reckless, punish myself with three cups, please atone for my sins!" ”

Zhang Ke said, took three glasses of wine, and drank them dry.

"Hehe, Yongzhen has made many military exploits for the Ming Dynasty, and he is really a famous general in the world, and the old man also pays tribute to Yongzhen three cups!"

Wang Zaijin stood up with a smile and drank the wine in the glass, the officials and gentry in the distance didn't know what was going on, but they saw Zhang Ke and Wang Zaijin toasting each other, just as the two adults sympathized with each other, and the relationship between the above was good, so they didn't have to be embarrassed.

For a while, the big guys raised their glasses one after another, staggered with each other, and the sound of punching orders was endless.

This meal of wine was drunk for two hours, and many people drank it under the table, and when they were dragged away by the family, they kept asking for wine!

"The ministry, the border land of eastern Liao, the people are rude, and it is not as rich as the land in the south of the Yangtze River, please don't be surprised!" Wang Huazhen said.

Wang Zaijin's face was flushed with alcohol, his interest was quite high, and he smiled indifferently: "This official likes to go straight, Yang Feng Yin disobeys, and Piri Yangqiu's set can't be played here at all." By the way, Yongzhen, did you have any military information just now? ”

At the mention of the word military intelligence, Wang Zaijin's eyes became extremely bright, and it was obvious that this Wang Jingliu was not drunk.

"Ministry, there is indeed something wrong, according to the secret report, the Mongolian Uliangha and Karaqin are intent on attacking our Tuntian stronghold, so the last general wants to mobilize troops and prepare to meet the Mongols!"

"Oh, I see!"

Wang Zaijin said with a smile: "Yongzhen, this official has just arrived, and I don't know much about the situation in Mongolia, I don't know if you can explain it to me?" ”

Although it is a question, it is not allowed to refuse at all, don't look at the politeness of what Wang Zaijin said, but his words reveal a meaning, that is, the old man is a strategy, and the military affairs are under my control. Don't care how polite Lao Tzu is, I am the one who makes the decision in the end, and a military general cannot overstep his bounds.

is worthy of being a person who has been a feudal official, even if there is a city, it is more difficult to deal with!

When Zhang Ke was thinking, he had already arrived in the study, and there was a huge military map hanging on the front wall, and Liaodong and even the entire Dongmeng were on the picture.

It is clear that the picture is divided into three parts, the black on the east represents Jiannu, the yellow on the south is the Ming Dynasty, and the white on the west is the Mongolian Lindan Khan.

The three parties stand on their feet, Jiannu is in the limelight, Mongolia is powerful, and the Ming foundation is thick. Each of the three parties has its own advantages and checks each other down.

Wang Zaijin had never seen such a detailed military map in Beijing, so he couldn't help but feel the spirit, carefully identified, and nodded from time to time.

"The world is divided into three parts, standing on its feet. Yongzhen, what is Zhuge Liang's strategy for dealing with Cao thieves in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? ”

"Lord Ministry, it is naturally a coalition of Wu to fight against Cao, but Sun Liu is short-sighted, a place that covets the size of Jingzhou and destroys the alliance. A gamble on the strength of the country, the success of failure. ”

Wang Zaijin nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "What Yongzhen said is true, the old man wants to ask, since the momentum of Jiannu is strong, why not join forces with Mongolia to fight against the old slave?" To tell you the truth, the old man was very puzzled when he saw the strategy of the Tuntian grassland in the capital, is it necessary to offend the Mongols at this time?"

Master Jinglu directly fired at the strategy, and Zhang Ke had to raise his vigilance by twelve points. Wang Zaijin was speechless when he asked Master Sun, and he became a laughing stock.

You must not repeat the mistakes of the past, Zhang Ke pondered slightly, and then said with a smile: "What Lord Jingluo said is extremely true, but if you take a closer look at the white patch, you can see that it is not a whole, but a fragmented and countless tribes!" ”

"That's right, since the founding of our dynasty, the Mongolian steppe has been divided, fighting for each other, and fighting endlessly. It is also thanks to such chaos in the grassland that I can have a peaceful life. ”

"The ministry is clear!" Zhang Ke picked up the bamboo pole with a smile, pointed to the map, and talked eloquently!

"After the death of a generation of heroes Altan Khan, Mongolia fell into complete fragmentation, not even a person who can get his hands on it, Lin Dan Khan, that is, Hudun Rabbit, although known as the Great Khan of Mongolia, in fact, can control zhì is only the Han Department, and the Han Department is one of the six thousand households in Mongolia, in other words, Lin Dan Khan only has one-sixth of Mongolia's strength. To the east of him was the Nen Korqin Division, which was backed by Jiannu, and the two sides hooked up and partnered, had close marriages, and separated from Lin Dan Khan, and even fought against each other.

To the south of Lin Dan Khan, west of the Liao River, there are five Inner Khalkha tribes led by the Fried Flower Department, and they formed an alliance, although they fought against Jiannu together with Lin Dan Khan, but if they were about to leave, they had a great tendency to resist the court.

To the Great Wall, Zhangjiakou area, is the Karaqin Department and the Wuliang Ha Department, they control the tributary trade channel, often intercept and kill the envoys of Lin Dan Khan, the two sides are constantly conflicting, the rest of the Altan Khan left the Tumut Department, the Ordos Department, Moxi Mongolia, and the Warat Department, far from Liaodong, not to mention for the time being. ”

Zhang Ke said as he pointed his finger and explained the situation of each department. Although Wang Zaijin was in the center and thought he knew everything about the military situation, when he heard it, he secretly stretched out his thumb.

Looking at the Ming Dynasty, whether it is a civil minister or a military general, there is no one who can talk about the situation in Mongolia.

No wonder Zhang Ke can rise to the top, this kid is really extraordinary.

After digesting all the contents, Wang Zaijin took a long breath, moved his sore and stiff neck, and said with a smile: "Yongzhen, you know Mongolia so well, you must have a strategy, tell it and listen to it." ”

"Ministry, you said that you united Mongolia, although this plan is good, but Mongolia is torn apart, and the mud can't support the wall at all. Don't look at Lin Dan Khan, who claims to be a man of 400,000 string controls, but what he actually has in his hands is the eight battalions of the Han Dynasty, with a strength of more than 100,000 troops. On the elite Cheng dù, he is far from being the opponent of Jiannu, and he will be defeated in a battle! ”

"Oh!"

Wang Zaijin frowned, he smiled bitterly in his heart, if Mongolia was really as complicated as Zhang Ke said, his plan to soothe Mongolia would obviously be in vain. The internal friction of the Mongols alone was enough to make them weak and powerless. Even if it is to send troops, it is just to deliver food to the old slave!

"Yongzhen, it seems that the old man still doesn't know enough about the grassland, and it's a shame to make a joke!"

"Ministry, your strategy is not wrong, the Mongols still have to unite, but they can't passively beg them, but take the initiative to fight for them! Take the fried flower department as an example, we won the victory in Guangning, and the strength of the fried flower department was greatly damaged, so we had to rely on the Ming Dynasty. If the conquest continues, the Karaqin Department and the Uliangha Department will be won over. Combined, there are more than 100,000 people in several Mongolians. We use this as negotiation capital to force Lin Dan Khan to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to fight, so that Lin Dan Khan will not take the bait! ”

As the proud son of heaven with the blood of the golden family, Lin Dan Khan was determined to unify Mongolia and restore the glory of his ancestors from the day he took over the throne of Khan.

The ideal is great, the reality is the backbone, Lin Dan Khan doesn't have this power at all, but if Da Ming can help him, it will be much easier!

Wang Zaijin frowned, thinking hard, he felt that Zhang Ke's method was good, but there was always something he couldn't figure out.

"Yongzhen, how easy is it to control hundreds of thousands of Mongols, how much soldiers, horses, money and food do you need, Liaodong may be able to bear it? Moreover, the Mongols are capricious, if they do not listen to the command, they will not lose their wives and lose their troops. ”

"Hahaha, don't worry, the Mongols can't run!"

Of course, Zhang Ke has this confidence, the reason is very simple, he has mastered the lifeblood of the Mongols!

Since the beginning of winter, several heavy snowstorms have fallen on the grasslands, and the terrible white plague has arrived early, and the herdsmen's livestock have frozen to death, so they can only hide in tents, snuggle up to each other with their relatives, hoping that the bad weather will pass soon.

Compared with other departments waiting for immortality and kindness, the fried flower department is different. They sold their wool early, and more of the livestock was made into jerky and sold to the Ming Dynasty.

In exchange for enough clothes and food, iron stoves, coals, and tents, they feasted and sang to the squeaky roasted whole sheep.

With strong economic ties, Zhang Ke did not fear that the Mongols would betray him, and history has proven countless times that silver bullets were a more effective weapon than lead bullets. Of course, without lead bullet as a backing, silver bullets will only become someone else's trophy.

"Ministry, the last general will immediately lead the troops to the steppe, and he will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Mongols and let them know that it is powerful."

"Yongzhen, how many men do you need?"

"Five thousand men are enough."

"No, I'll give you eight thousand!" Wang Zaijin suddenly said sharply: "Jiannu is fierce and cunning, if they take the road from the grassland and attack the first line of the Great Wall, it is very likely that the Nine Sides will be broken through. Recovering these Mongol tribes is equivalent to having one more line of defense, and with them as eyes, it will definitely be a lot easier! ”

Lao Wang actually had this foresight, and in less than ten years, the Manchus did just that. A Guanning defense line that cost tens of millions of taels of silver and was blown into the sky has become an ornament, which makes people laugh.

"Please rest assured that the last general will definitely live up to his mission!"

Zhang Ke immediately asked for an order to leave, mobilized men and horses, and headed for the grassland overnight.

……

Sou!

An arrow hit her calf, and the woman fell to the ground, she trembled in pain, lost sensation in one leg, gritted her teeth, supported the ground with her elbows, and crawled forward desperately.

See, see, home is ahead!

"Hahaha, stinky, come here!"

The Mongol soldier galloping from behind threw the lock, and the woman was immediately trapped.

A few Mongols unceremoniously tore the woman's clothes, revealing snow-white skin, which was almost the same color as the white snowfield.

The furious Mongols tore their clothes one after another, smiling and pounced on the woman.

"Help me......

The woman's terrible howl reached the village, and a group of young men clenched their weapons, breathing heavily and their faces flushed. Some people turned their heads in shame, unable to bear to look at it more.

"Two girls! Brother is here to save you! ”

Suddenly, a man jumped out of the wall and ran towards the tartar.

"Don't look for death!"

No matter how the lieutenant called out, the young man didn't hear it at all. R1152
