Chapter 651: Inside and Outside
Another letter, Zhai Zhe held it in his hand for a long time before opening it.
If Sichuan was owned by the Nanjing Imperial Court, Zuo Ruo would never be as difficult as it is now. He chose to stay close to Shaanxi, one, if the left is from Shaanxi; Moreover, Zuo Ruo has a sharp spirit of self-sacrifice.
Because of this, Zuo Ruo has never been a person who knows how to compromise. It's like the soldier he is training, only obedient, not willing.
Zuo Ruo's words are very stiff, and there is no so-called charm.
After reading it, Zhai Zhe's expression was solemn. He immediately picked up the brush at hand, dipped it in ink, and then the brush never left the inkstone. After pondering for a moment, he put down the brush and beckoned to the door, "Someone is coming"
Zhang Bingyin pushed the door in and bowed.
"Prepare a holy decree to Shaanxi" Zhai Zhe's brows were already furrowed, and his fingers tapped lightly on the table.
It takes twenty days for the Holy Decree to be sent from Nanjing to Shaanxi, and I hope that it will be too late.
In the spring, everything begins to wake up.
The 30,000 Mongol cavalry of Modong gathered in the Duoyan steppe, where there were also Jurchens and Han Chinese.
When the Manchu Qing entered the customs, they took away all the cavalry of the Mengbaqi, and the war in the customs was stalemate for a long time, and the Manchus only left a small number to stay in Shengjing. Beijing is very close to Shengjing, and the Manchu army is gathered in Beijing, which is enough to shock the outside of the Guan.
The tents of the Mongol cavalry were out of sight, and the ruts of the wagons hauling grain and grass pressed a clear path in the young grass that grew in the steppe.
Guyuan City was the starting point of the army, and at this moment, there were two people standing at the head of the city, a middle-aged Jurchen general and an elderly Mongol.
The middle-aged Jurchen general was a first-class guard with a yellow flag, and he was ordered by the Queen Mother to go out to supervise the battle.
The older Mongol was none other than the father of the Manchu Empress Dowager Da Yu'er, the leader of the Horqin Mongols, Saisan.
The cavalry under the city was endless, and the flags were flying. The atmosphere at the head of the city was a little oppressive, like this gloomy weather.
Ji Bilong said: "Sai Sanbel, you and I are our own family, and I won't hide some things, and now the shape of the guan is really bad." Not enough to solve Ezhe, the Queen Mother was even worried that the Qing Dynasty would not be able to gain a foothold in the Guannai. "He is a loyal emperor, and if it weren't for Dolgon's compromise with Da Yu'er, he would never have been given the opportunity to lead the troops outside the country.
Saisan's gray beard trembled, and he said, "The letter from the Queen Mother to me has already mentioned it, otherwise, I would not have taken the initiative to send troops to attack Chahar." ”
Modong Mongolia has long disobeyed the orders of the Mongol Great Khan, but Modong Mongol has never confronted the Mongol Great Khan head-on on the battlefield.
Kubilon understood what Saisang was referring to, and said: "Ezhe surrendered and rebelled, brutalized the princess of the Qing Dynasty, and it is not a pity to die, he is no longer worthy of being the Great Khan of Mongolia, Ezhe is not dead, and the grassland is restless." He spoke with emotion, and every time he thought of the princess dying at the hands of Ezhe's sword, he was furious. This is a ruthless trampling on the face of the Great Qing Dynasty, and Ezhe is using this way to express a break.
Saisan nodded.
He still led the troops to the expedition at such an age, but he was also forced to be helpless. Horqin and the Aixin Jueluo family have long been tied together, he is highly respected in the Modong grassland, if he does not come forward, he will not be able to gather these 30,000 troops.
Ezhe was like a magnetic ball in the steppe, attracting ambitious Mongols.
He said worriedly: "Last winter, Ezhe had already sent people to contact the three tribes of Mobei, except for the former Chechen Khan of Arukha, whose cause of death was unknown and refused to make friends with Chahar, the other two were preparing to move south. ”
Saisan was old and timid before he played. Curb Pilon hurriedly relieved: "Bellexiu has to worry, those people are just coveting the wealth of the Naturalization City, and now there is anyone in the grassland who takes Ezhe seriouslyChahar is poor, and the soldiers are not in good armor, and they are definitely the opponent of my army." ”
At the same time that Ezhe contacted the old Mongolian department, the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty also sent a letter to the grassland tribes, calling on the grassland tribes to besiege Chahar. Those who take the amount of Zhe will be crowned king and rewarded with 10,000 taels of silver.
The intention of the two parts of Mobei Mongolia to go south is unpredictable, but I am afraid that it is more likely to wait and see in the early stage.
At the beginning of March, 30,000 cavalry marched through the Monan grassland to Guihua City.
In order to defeat the Chahars in one fell swoop, Modong Mongolia escaped all the old people. In order to invite the tribes to send troops, the Manchu Qing Dynasty also made a bloody investment, and the results of the war were not out, and countless gold and silver treasures have been rewarded.
By the time the vanguard arrived at Naturalization after a skirmish, the city had already been empty.
Ezhe led his troops to cross the Yellow River and hid in the Hetao.
The Tumut tribe spent the winter nomadic in the Hetao grasslands, and several oases in the nearby Yellow River were eaten by cattle and horses, leaving only the turf. He had to order the Chahar tribe to go to the west of the Hetao to nomadize.
At the same time that the Mongol army of Modong was like Mount Tai pressing the westward expedition, the 20,000 Jurchens stationed on the west bank of the Yellow River also launched a fierce attack on Yan'an.
Ezhe ordered Amur to return to the steppe, and asked Geriltu and Tokbo to put the Mongol interests first, and first join forces to repel the Mongol coalition forces.
The letter was delivered to the Guannai, and Yulinwei broke out into a heated argument.
Gřiltu, Amur and Tokbo sat at a table.
The Mongol coalition forces had not yet attacked, and as long as they remained in Yulinwei, the Jurchens had to divide their forces to keep an eye on them. Zuo Ruo, the governor of Shaanxi, was cautious about sending the Mongols into battle, fearing that the Mongol rout would cause the Jurchens to lose their restraint.
All three of them had read Ezhe's letter. Chahar and Tumut agreed that they would never flee to Moxi again. At present, the three of them are facing a choice, whether to close inside or outside first.
Amur is a member of the Chahar tribe, and in the opinion of Geriltu and Tokbo, the position does not need to be said.
Tokboxian said: "We helped the Han Chinese to fight against the Manchus, who had bullied the Mongols. But we are Mongols after all, and the battle in Guannai was defeated, and the regent of the Ming Dynasty still had a chance to attack back. If we were defeated by the Mongols in the steppe, there would really be nothing.
Ge Riletu wanted to speak and stopped, he subconsciously thought that the battle situation in Shaanxi was more important, but he couldn't find enough reason to convince the two people in front of him.
Seeing that neither of them expressed any objections, Tuo Kebo said: "The 3,000 cavalry sent to Longxi can be left to the Han people, and it can be regarded as an explanation." As long as we return to the grassland and hold the Yellow River, the Modong army will not be able to take us. ”
Amur suddenly spoke, "This matter cannot be decided by just the three of us"
He stretched out his finger and drew a circle on the table, saying, "If we give up on Yulinwei, we will never come back." It was already very difficult for the Ming Dynasty to hold Yan'an, where were the troops sent to Yulinwei. ”
Ge Riletu immediately echoed: "Yes, we must not give up Yulinwei, otherwise, the Ming army will be completely separated from us." ”
Amur got up and said, "I'm going to meet General Zuo, even if we have to return to the steppe, maybe hand over Yulinwei to the Ming army." ”
Geriletu and Tokbo also stood up with him.
Amur asked: "You two, who is going with me on behalf of Tumut?" ”
The two glanced at each other, and Geriletu said, "I'd better go." ”
