Volume 1 Jingshi Chapter 32 Dayan Khan in the Battle of Yingzhou
Chapter 32: Dayan Khan in the Battle of Yingzhou
The mighty cavalry passed through the Yellow River.
Dayan Khan and dozens of Mongolian nobles stood on the high slopes of the Yellow River, watching the sheepskin rafts of countless Mongolian cavalry pass over the Yellow River, and the mighty Yellow River crossed with the mighty cavalry.
Dayan Khan was forty-four years old at this time, but the wind and frost made his hair gray early, and his beard, which was as hard as a steel needle, still carried Dayan Khan's stubborn momentum.
This is the lord of Dayan Khan's Mongol Zhongxing.
Although Genghis Khan's golden family has always been the ruler of the steppe, in fact, after withdrawing from the Central Plains from Mongolia, he became the nominal lord of the steppe, and the real power fell into the hands of the tile spurs, such as the famous battle of Tumubao was done by the tile spurs, and there was nothing to do with the golden family at all. And before Dayan Khan, the steppe fell apart, divided into tribes after tribes, almost as if they were enemy nations.
Dayan Khan, with the support of Manduhai, ascended the throne at the age of seven, defeated the Wathorn clan, and drove the Wathorn to the Western Sea. Then defeated the Eastern Mongolian tribes, divided Mongolia 60,000 households, and once again controlled the entire Mongolia in the hands of the golden family.
I don't know how many times it shook the Daming Jingshi.
Dayan Khan was followed by his third son, Ah Shu. His eldest son and second son have long since died, and the third son next to him is already his eldest son.
Ah Zhu has been regarded as the heir of Dayan Khan, and he has always been taught by his side.
Dayan Khan said: "Ningxia, Suiyuan two towns, what is the movement. ”
Ah Zhu said: "Grandpa, the two towns of Suiyuan in Ningxia have long been disabled, and they dare not leave the city at all. But do we really want to cross the Yellow River? ”
Although the water flow of the Yellow River is slow this time, the Yellow River is a natural hazard after all, and it is not an ordinary small river. Crossing the Yellow River in the territory of the Ming Dynasty is really a bit of an adventure.
Dayan Khan said: "Ah, if your eldest brother is here, he won't ask like this, because we Mongolians are wolves, wolves, if you don't give him something to eat, he will eat people, we swept all the way to Ningxia and Suiyuan, and harvested a lot?" ”
Ah Zhu said, "Not much. ”
Dayan Khan said: "As a great khan, you have to feed the appetite of the people below, when they are full, they are eagle dogs, and when they are not full, they are hungry wolves, ready to fight back at any time. Do you want him to bite the Southern Dynasty, or our Golden Family? ”
Ah Zhu bowed his head and didn't want to speak.
Dayan Khan looked at his son coldly, and inevitably felt a little disappointed in his heart, the more heroes looked down on their children, and they didn't know that because they were too outstanding, they naturally couldn't look down on their ordinary descendants, Dayan Khan still had the meaning of educating Ah Shu, and said earnestly: "My Dayuan was driven out of the Central Plains by the Southern Dynasty, and in the bitter cold land outside the Saiwai, there is no day when I don't want to enter the Central Plains again, this is a national hatred, your grandfather died in the hands of Wang Yue, this is a family feud, such a family feud and a national hatred." There is not a day when I don't want to destroy the Southern Dynasty, but the Southern Dynasty is like a big tree. The foundation is deep, and if you want to destroy the Southern Dynasty, it is not feasible in one day, but the weight of the Southern Dynasty is on the nine sides, and the Beijing camp of the Southern Dynasty is no longer useful after the Tumu Fort. If you want to destroy the Southern Dynasty, entering is like cutting down trees, I will first cut Ningxia and Suiyuan. Gansu, and then attack Datong, Taiyuan, in his lifetime, is expected to go down to Xuanfu, and then besiege Dadu, forcing the Ming Dynasty emperor to move the capital. But God forbids me, I'm afraid that in my lifetime, I can only do this, and it's up to you to do the rest. ”
Ah Zhu said, "What did Grandpa tell me to do? ”
Dayan Khan said: "I will be Genghis Khan, you will be Kublai Khan, I will cut off the wings of the Southern Dynasty for you, and you will inherit my cause and destroy the Southern Dynasty." Rebuild the Great Yuan. Let us Mongolians have pastures all over the world. ”
"Grandpa." Ah Zhu raised his head and said, "Grandpa, it's not that I want to do this, but Grandpa's current Mongolians are not the original Mongolians." Grandpa, you also know that the current Mongols are comfortable and wealthy, and you let him rob the south, he has this intention, let them destroy the Southern Dynasty, I'm afraid they haven't even thought about it. Why did Grandpa bother to trade with the Southern Dynasty and make the Southern Dynasty every year. It's better to fight every year. ”
"Shut up." Dayan Khan's chest rose and fell like a drum.
If this was just Ah Zhu's thoughts, Dayan Khan would have the intention of abolishing Ah Shu, but he would not be so out of shape. On the contrary, because what Ah Shu said happened to be the thoughts of many Mongolian nobles. This feeling of powerlessness and controllessness made Dayan Khan furious.
Even if Dayan Khan is reluctant to admit it, he knows that the current Mongols are no longer the original Mongols, and how many of the current Mongolian nobles can climb the ice and lie in the snow and fight for thousands of miles. How many of the current Mongolian nobles still have the courage to wear heavy armor and rush into the enemy's formation.
Most people think that the Mongolian archers are powerful, but they don't know that the Mongolian ironclad charging skills, and even the strength of dismounting and foot fighting, are no less than their cavalry and archery skills. And the current Mongols have it?
Of course not.
If he had succeeded, Dayan Khan would have conquered the Western Regions first, and then conquered the Western Sea, and directly detoured back to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. Why bother gnawing hard bones on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty.
The border army of the Ming Dynasty has long been inferior to the original, but the Mongolia unified by Dayan Khan is no longer the original Mongolia.
Even if Dayan Khan has Genghis Khan, he does not have Genghis Khan's strong generals among his subordinates, nor does he have Genghis Khan's outstanding descendants.
Dayan Khan raised his horsewhip and wanted to slam it in Ah Zhi's face, but he couldn't do it.
Because Ah Zhu is already the best of his adult sons. Moreover, there have never been a few Mongolian nobles who support this view, and if he abolishes it, I am afraid that there will be chaos in Mongolia. At this moment, he had a sense of powerlessness, as if he was an old wolf, and he said secretly: "Am I really old?" ”
Suddenly, a knight rushed straight up the slope from the usual, crossing the cordon and never dismounting. He came to Dayan Khan's side and turned over and dismounted, and said loudly: "Report." Datong news. ”
As he spoke, he took out a wax pill from his body.
Dayan Khan took it, pinched it with his hand, and crushed the waxed clothes. Take out a piece of silk cloth. After reading what was written on it at a glance, his pupils instantly became larger, and he couldn't help but look at it again, "Hahaha---" Dayan Khan looked up to the sky and roared, and said: "Immortal God bless." Eternal Heaven blesses. ”
Ah Zhu was behind Dayan Khan, and couldn't help asking, "Grandpa, what's the news from Datong." ”
"Emperor Zhengde, the royal driver is in Xuanfu at this moment."
"What?" Everyone was surprised, since the change of Tumubao, the Ming Emperor has become a good baby, never out of the capital, but at this moment he is driving a personal expedition, for Dayan Khan, it is a complete surprise and surprise.
"It seems that Emperor Zhengde doesn't learn a lesson. also captured a Ming Emperor first, I Boyan Mengke, also captured a Ming Emperor, and never let Ye Xian focus on beauty. Pass the order down. The tribes speed up, which warrior can take the Zhengde Emperor, I will seal him a ten thousand households. ”
"Yes."
Dayan Khan divided the whole of Mongolia into 60,000 households, and one tribe of 10,000 households, even if it was a newly built tribe, was one-seventh of the whole of Mongolia. For a time, all the Mongolian nobles were excited, eager to capture Zhengde in one fell swoop now.
Dayan Khan was even more excited.
He knows very well that the current Ming Dynasty, it can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty has no available troops except for the nine sides, and the nine sides of the heavy army are in the hands of an emperor who does not know how to soldier, this is not a godsend, only to defeat Zhengde in one fell swoop, Datong Xuanfu, I am afraid there will be no soldiers, and Zhengde has no sons, no brothers, as long as Zhengde falls into his hands, it is impossible to want Daizong to ascend the throne so smoothly.
Taking such an opportunity to storm the city of Beijing, the capital that was haunted by the great Mongolian Khans of the past dynasties returned to the hands of Dayuan again.
Dayan Khan is again the true lord of Mongol Zhongxing, not under Kublai Khan.
As soon as he thought of this, Dayan Khan couldn't help himself, "My children and grandchildren are not angry, and I am the only one who has come to this great cause." ”、
Dayan Khan hastened his horse and headed east.
