Chapter 339: The death knell has sounded
Of course, Tushetu Huhambadali did not agree to the use of troops, because there was no chance of victory, and there would be endless troubles.
The strength of the Ming army in the enclosure is more than 100,000, although almost all of them are foot soldiers, but the current Ming army foot soldiers are too powerful. How many firearms did these more than 100,000 Ming troops have? What kind of losses will those huge artillery pieces bring to themselves? Mongolia is a light cavalry, such a thick phalanx can not attack at all, not to mention that there are more than 100,000 Ming troops in Chengde, once the war starts, it will bring devastating disasters to the entire Inner Mongolian grassland.
Of course, the Mongols could not run, because all the cavalry could run very fast. But Badali knew that running would be a tragedy, and the cohesion of the entire Uliangha would fall apart. The Ming army is not short of supplies, it will continue to increase its troops, they will advance northward, and the entire Uliangha region will fall into a long-term war, and the Ming army will also carry out brutal killings like the people of Jianzhou. Even if the Ming army is invincible, Zuihou's withdrawal from the Uliangha region will also make the herdsmen of the entire Uliangha region suffer heavy losses, the Mongolian population is already small, and there is no Dingkou, who will he, the Great Khan, rule? War is the worst option, and he will become a sinner in Inner Mongolia, and Badali has not yet reached that point.
The victory or defeat of the Jianzhou and Ming armies has actually been clear, that is, Dolgon and others returned to Shengjing, how many troops can they have, this time out of Jianzhou has already made a bloody investment, what can those remaining old and weak do? Once the Ming army enters Jianzhouwei, they will only be brutally killed by the Ming army or driven to the deep mountains and old forests, and Jianzhou is actually finished.
The current situation seems to have returned to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, as long as Mongolia does not fight to the death with the Ming army, as long as it is obedient, the Mongolian steppes and mountains and rivers still belong to the Mongols. In the future, Inner Mongolia only became a subordinate of whom, compared with the Ming people, the Jianzhou people were actually more civilized than the Ming people, and the only thing to worry about was the cunning and untrustworthy people of the Ming people. In addition, Badali also had a sweet dream. If those corrupt Confucians of the Ming court gave up Inner Mongolia outside the Guan, he Badali would not be able to become a hero of the Mongols.
Tushetu Hanbadali was waiting, waiting for the news of the Ming army and the Jianzhou war, but some people couldn't wait for it first.
The territory of the Wengniute Banner belongs to the semi-arid zone with mountains and rivers, and the terrain in the territory is complex, and it belongs to a relatively poor banner in Inner Mongolia. The Wengniut tribe was relatively close to the paddock, and the Mongols rode horses when they went out, so the news of the trade between the Karaqin and the Ming spread very quickly, so that the herdsmen of Wengniut could not sit still.
The grassland is a place of extreme scarcity, and even needles and threads are precious. Some of the goods of the Ming people are actually a necessity for the grassland people, such as salt, tea, ironware, etc., these things can not be produced by the grassland people, they can only rely on trade
With the herdsmen of the Wengniute tribe to trade, there will be the nearby Alu Korqin tribe, there will be the Ao Han tribe, there will be the herdsmen of the Tumut tribe, and madness is like this
When the Manzhu Xili and Wu Keshan came to the sweat tent of Badali with their hearts. There was a lot of noise in the tent, and the tribal leaders were arguing with each other.
"Those herdsmen crossed the border to trade with the Ming people without permission, and my bannermen are all following the Great Khan here, how can I take care of those nomadic herdsmen?"
The leader of the Left Wing Banner of Onniut, Dorodar Han Dong Daiqing, shouted first. This Dong Daiqing was also one of the Mongol leaders who followed the Qing army into the pass, and with the departure of Dolgon and others, he stayed, and the consequence of staying was. He was extremely afraid of the Ming army, because he had several memorable battles with the Ming army. Dong Daiqing was now apparently refuting the other tribal leaders, who suspected him of allowing his herdsmen to trade with the Ming.
"Almost all of them are here. Who has the energy to take care of those herdsmen, these unruly herdsmen just sneak over in private, where can they see it, this matter will be decided by the Great Khan"
Obviously, someone came out to help, and the helper was naturally not an outsider, it was Sun Duling, the king of Doluo County, who was in charge of the right-wing banner of Weng Niute, and Sun Duling was Dong Daiqing's brother, who did he help his brother?
"Run privately! The herdsmen who came privately would trade with the Ming people in a whole car, and there would be such a scale of transactions? Your Arummon is the closest to the paddock, it's obviously"
"Whoever saw my flag came to trade with the Ming people, who knows which tribe those herdsmen belong to, this is a bloody spewing people"
Whether this accusation is true or false, but it involves many tribes, the leaders of those Aru Mongol tribes are all gone, they quickly join the war group, and other tribal leaders who think they have suffered losses are naturally not far behind.
These tribal leaders, who felt unfair, could not attack the leader of the Karaqin tribe, Gurusiqi, because Gurusiqi had left some bannermen to follow the large army, and he hid. And Aru Mongol has become a scapegoat, and this scapegoat has to resist whether it is true or not, and the result of the rebellion is quarrel, and the quarrel is inexorable.
It is no longer realistic to start a war, and with the current situation, the idea of Manzhu Xili and Wu Keshan can only be stillborn. This situation made it very difficult for Badali as the Great Khan, Zhou Huchen's eye medicine was too powerful, how could he have the heart and energy to fight with the Ming army now, even if the battle was probably made the Mongolian cavalry scattered, and the chance of victory was very small. Now, Badali needs to resolve these internal disputes.
The conflict of interests made the Mongolian leaders still quarrel, and Zhou Huchen had already seen the shadow of Shenyang at this time.
At this time, the news of Jinzhou came.
A few days ago, the three cities of Songshan, Tashan, and Xingshan near Jinzhou had been easily taken by Wu Yun, and at this time, Wu Yun was surrounding and preparing to bombard Jinzhou.
"How many troops does Jiannu have in Jinzhou?" Zhou Huchen was in a very good mood, and if Jinzhou was won, he would live everything, so he hurriedly asked about the situation in Jinzhou.
"Marshal Qiyu, it is estimated that there should be about 30,000, but there are very few real Jiannu Eight Banners Army, and it seems that they are all strong men. It is said that the families of these strong men were brought to Shenyang, and once Jinzhou was not defended, Jiannu would kill all the families of those strong men. General Wu is hesitating, what do you think, big marshal? ”
The one who came to contact Zhou Huchen was a Qianhu surnamed Niu under Wu Yun, and this Qianhu was once Zhou Huchen's personal soldier, so this Qianhu surnamed Niu and Zhou Huchen did not see each other, and told him everything he knew in detail.
"The end of the road! What a move for the rats! Zhou Huchen shook his head and began to sigh, and the strength of the Qing army seemed to be shrinking in Shenyang.
Niu Qianhu did not respond, he couldn't do such a thing, so he could only wait for Zhou Huchen's decision.
"Jinzhou City is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, didn't Jiannu use the siege to fight a war of attrition in the past? Hurry back and tell General Wu that we will also use this trick to surround Jinzhou into an iron bucket for me, and then the troops will go out of Shenyang. ”
About 30,000 strong men may have more than 100,000 family members, how could Zhou Huchen watch let Jiannu slaughter these innocent people, and the vast majority of these people are estimated to be Han people, these people will be the foundation of ruling Liaodong in the future, Zhou Huchen has no second choice. The so-called Jinzhou City is strong, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the siege of the city is just a helpless excuse, where is there any reinforcement in Jiannu? What Zhou Huchen needs is for these people to survive as much as possible and contribute to the Ming Dynasty in the future, because the rulers of Jianzhou have lost the hearts of the people and the support of Mongolia, and their death knell has sounded......
