Chapter 546: Dzungar Khanate T

Gu Zhe Khan breathed a sigh of relief, although the Dzungardan was extremely hard-mouthed, Qi Zhimao did some reason, at least he didn't really do anything crazy, to be honest, Dzungardan was already a crazy image in the heart of Ezhe Khan, if it was said that Dzungardan did not hesitate to kill the border of Liaodong, ignoring the authority of the Han people, and killing all the fleeing Mongols of Monan Monan like Ezhe Khan.

However, immortal God bless, Dzungardan is not a madman after all, this is also Ezhe's luck, the Mongols began to divide into two groups, one group of women and children went east to Liaodong, and the other 10,000 strong men guarded Muli Jiwei, not daring to slack off, the Dzungars dozens of miles away neither retreated, nor continued to advance, and still could not rule out the possibility of their attack.

Muli Jiwei has now become the focus of the struggle outside the Guan, like a powder keg, it may be ignited and exploded at any time, there are obviously some rumors in Liaodong, hundreds of thousands of Mongolian cavalry are displayed on the border of Liaodong, in other words, I am afraid they are all extremely nervous, today's population of Liaodong is not large, because the Manchus regard Liaodong as their ancestral land, no Han people are allowed to enter, and the Manchus are all incorporated into the Tunguska tribe first began to lay railroad tracks in the Guannei, and now except for a small number of Han people who "break through the Guandong, the population is sparse, It's just that the Han people in the area have moved in one after another, after all, there are few people here, although there is no prosperity in the Guannai, but after all, a virgin land, there are a lot of opportunities, and as long as they are willing to reclaim, the reclaimed land can belong to them, but now the rumors have come out, and some Han people who have broken into the eastern part of the country have retreated one after another.

A few days later, Wang Zhijin came with 10,000 newly formed cavalry, and behind the cavalry, 30,000 infantry of the Liaodong Army were also rushing to this side day and night, but the Ming army mainly appeared as a mediator this time, otherwise it was really far-fetched to rely on the newly formed Liaodong Army to confront more than 100,000 Mongolian cavalry It's just that Wang Zhijin is still quite confident, and behind him is the Beiping Army in the Daming Pass, which can be reached within five days, and the Beiyang Naval Division Marine Corps of North Korea can also respond quickly after seven days. There is also the Ludong Army stationed in Xi'an can attack from Datong and attack the rear of the Dzungar people, if the Dzungars dare to make a move, Wang Zhijin expects that there may be a loss in the early stage, but then, a steady stream of Guannei legions may be able to sweep the entire Monan, and there is no problem in driving the Dzungars back to the western Xinjiang, in addition to the Dzungar Dan also has to deal with the retaliation from the Ming Dynasty, therefore, Wang Zhijin's estimate is that Ezhe Khan does not dare to do it now.

At this time, the envoy of the Dzungar people also came, different from the usual groveling, because of the successive victories, the power of the Dzungar people who seized Monan Mongolia has expanded from the western Xinjiang to Monan, and there are hundreds of tribes attached to it This made the minister have a reliance, and naturally he became arrogant, especially after entering Wang Zhijin's big tent, he saw Ezhe Khan, snorted coldly, stepped in and saluted Wang Zhi, expressing his submission, but his expression was very arrogant: "Your Excellency Governor, this Ezhe is my Mongolian sinner, Galdan has already issued a reward of 10,000 taels of silver for his head, and I ask you to hand over Ezhe to us Khandan, and there will be a great reward. ”

Now that Ezhe has lost his power, he sent people under the fence, and glanced at Wang Zhijin with some fear, for fear that he would really give himself to Dzungardan. Wang Zhijin smiled contemptuously, and said: "Daming is rich in resources, 10,000 taels of silver, hehe, I'm afraid even a small businessman can afford it, and your ministry is too shabby, just 10,000 taels of silver to want the head of Ezhe Khan, it's really a joke." ”

Wang Zhijin was sarcastic, but he wanted to suppress and suppress the arrogance of the Galdan, seeing the drastic change in the envoy's face, he laughed even more in his heart, and continued to pout: "The Chahar people are my allies of the Ming Dynasty, and the Dzungars have also sworn an oath with my Ming, and my Ming Dynasty will not help each other, but since Ezhe Khan defected to my Liaodong, as an ally, my Ming Dynasty naturally has the responsibility of protection. ”

This sentence made the Dzungar envoy very embarrassed, why one day Galdan fled to Liaodong, and the invincible Galdan would be defeated and ask the Han people for asylum? It's just a joke, the great Galdan is the lord of the grassland, is the master of the Guanwai, the envoy slandered in his heart, and then said: "Our Khan Dan is very willing to continue to maintain a friendly alliance with the Ming Dynasty, I just hope you can understand that Ezhe Khan is my Khan Dan's great enemy, and the adults are unwilling to hand over Ezhe, I am afraid that the relationship between Khan Dan and Daming will inevitably have flaws. ”

Wang Zhijin snorted coldly: "Are you threatening this governor?" ”

The messenger also carried it, after all, the situation is different now, Ezhe Khan has more than 100,000 iron horsemen and has become the master of the entire grassland, how can he still show weakness to the Han people?

Sooner or later, Lan Erdan inherited the throne of the Mongol Khan, and all he wanted was friendship with the Ming Dynasty, but the Ming Dynasty contained the enemies of the Khan Dan, is this a friendly move? Does Da Ming really think that I, the Dzungar hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen, are easy to bully? ”

If it was in the Central Plains Dynasty, the envoy said this obviously a metaphor for the meaning of war, but Wang Zhijin understood that this Dzungar envoy probably wanted to intimidate, speaking of war, Dzungar really didn't have the courage to do so, Beizhen Fusi had studied Galdan's character, and this person's ambition was wrong. But after all, he is still a smart person who can stretch and bend. This, for Dangerdan, taking advantage of the victory to take Mobei and running Monan is the right way, and rashly starting a war with Daming without the people's hearts is simply looking for death.

Wang Zhijin knocked on the table in front of him, with an impatient expression: "Do you mean that Galdan 100,000 iron horsemen are invincible in the world and want to start a war with my Daming?" Hehe, okay, my Da Ming just annihilated hundreds of thousands of Manmeng Eight Banners, and I am worried that I can't find an opponent at this time, if your ministry is willing to give it a try, you can let the horse come. ”

The Dzungar envoy couldn't help but be choked half to death, for the Ming Dynasty, Galdan is still quite fearful, more than 200,000 Manchurian Eight Banners were wiped out, in addition, it is said that there are several Manchu Han troops such a record with more than 100,000 Dzungar people, really can't gnaw, Dzungardan's mind is to first stabilize Mo Nan to pacify Mo Nan did not flee with Ezhe, and then recruit the warriors of each department

Forming more cavalry, and in the future he didn't think about it, but this fertile Liaodong, he is determined to win, and now the strategy can only be temporarily forbearing, the envoy is not disrespectful, but also to explore the bottom line of the Ming Dynasty, hoping to bring Ezhe back, for the Dzungardan, Ezhe is indeed a great hidden danger, he is the descendant of the golden family, the Mongols have always respected the Khan's Golden Horde, therefore, even if Ezhe is defeated, he also has great appeal among the Mongols If one day, with the help of the Han people, he will return to Mongolia with his remnants I am afraid that he will be another opponent, but now the attitude of the Ming side is extremely tough

There was a desperate posture for Ezhe Khan, and after weighing it, the envoy remembered Khan Dan's instructions, and finally relented.

He made a chest salute: "The Dzungar people have already sworn an oath with the Celestial Empire, and have been friendly for generations, if I say that my Dzungar cavalry is the enemy of the Ming Dynasty, it is simply a joke, our Khan Dan is the most faithful to his promises, but the Ming Dynasty protects Ezhe, and Khan Dan can't save face, I hope that the Ming side can give some explanations and let the envoy take it back to restore his life."

Since the Ming Dynasty is unwilling to hand over Ezhe, and the Dzungar people are unwilling to turn against the Ming Dynasty, the current Dzungar envoys only hope to get some benefits, no matter what, they have to get some oil and water.

Wang Zhijin said: "Confess? Tell Dzungardan that the Ming Dynasty's explanation is that as long as the Dzungar cavalry does not set foot in Liaodong and never attacks the Dzungars, you, go down. ”

Wang Zhijin stayed in Liaodong these days, have an understanding of all the ethnic groups outside the Guan, to paraphrase a sentence of the ancients, it is called fear of power but not virtue, the more you are kind to him, make concessions to him, he will think that you are a bully, constantly inch in, when you speak ill of each other, put on a posture of the last person, they will be obedient and obedient, and they are very jealous of you, of course, to pull the tiger skin at least have their own strength, now the Ming Dynasty has more than 200,000 new troops, 150,000 sailors, and 50,000 cavalry, Most of these soldiers have experienced the baptism of war, and their number is three times that of Galdan, and their equipment is even more sophisticated than that of the Kaldans, so with these, Wang Zhijin will naturally not make any compromises.

The Galdan envoy smiled wryly, and was respectful to Wang Zhijin, he saluted, and could only retreat cautiously.

As soon as the Galdan envoy left, Ezhe Khan had already made a chest bow and half knelt down, he naturally understood that a lost dog like him no longer had much use value, Wang Zhijin had given him great favor to protect him, if he was not moved, he was really heartless, and Ezhe was still a person with some conscience: "The grace of the adult to save his life, Ezhe remembered it." ”

Wang Zhijin rubbed his temples, I'm afraid this Liaodong is not very peaceful, although Galdan does not dare to make any hostile moves now, but sooner or later one day he will still tear his face, and the training of the Liaodong Army may have to be intensified.

After another half a month, news came from the Mongolian side, the Tibetan lama arrived in Monan, and promulgated the golden book, enshrined Galdan as Danjin Boshoketu Khan, Boshuo was originally one of the surnames of the golden family, and also metaphorically Galdan was the orthodoxy of the golden family, Galdan began to establish the Dzungar Khanate, and scattered all parts of Dzungar to the west of Xinjiang, Monan and other places began to take charge of the grassland, annexed more than 20 tribes in Monan who had no time to flee, and began to prepare for the northern expedition to Mobei.

This move, has made Liaodong feel great pressure, when the oath of the year, Galdan expressed his willingness to the Ming Dynasty, theoretically, Galdan should be one of the Ming vassal states, promulgating the golden book to enshrine it as the king of the Khan should be the right of the Ming court, but Galdan accepted the lama's canonization, and even did not even inform the Ming side, which provoked the taste can be imagined.

After the Ming Dynasty recovered the Guannei, the Tibetan lamas have not reacted, and it stands to reason that they should send envoys to re-establish the relationship between the vassals, but now, the Tibetans are self-evidently colluding with the Dzungars, and the lamas are probably taking advantage of the momentum of the Dzungardans to plan to deal with the Ming side.

In addition, the Uygurs, Kazakhs, Hui people, and Kirkji people in Western Xinjiang sent envoys to Monan to celebrate the Kaldan Feng Khan, and offered rich gifts, which also showed their willingness to be vassals to the Dzungars, and the Ming Dynasty, a central power, was kicked aside.

Provocation Naked Provocation Those Uygurs, Hui people, Kazakhs, and Kirkji people can still claim to be subordinate to Dzungaria, and they are forced to pay homage to Dzungardan, but the reaction of the Tibetan side is that only Mao Xiaofang ignores the attitude of Daming For Daming, it is simply a naked provocation.

The report of the battle was quickly transmitted from outside the customs to the eight hundred miles inside the customs and was quickly transmitted to Nanjing

According to the surname Ju, if it is an ordinary recital, it cannot be written into the war report, and only the content about the war can be transmitted to the imperial court in the situation of the war report, but this time Wang Zhijin chose the way of the war report, obviously saying that this letter is more urgent than the war report.

Monan, Western Xinjiang, Tibet, and even Qinghai were connected together, and a khanate created by nomads was established, which has not happened since the Yongle Emperor, and the Guanwai has always been a big trouble for the Ming Dynasty, and now the Manchurians have just been exterminated Another alien rise, which is definitely not a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty strongly supports Ezhe Khan, and the idea is very simple is to hope to use Ezhe to balance the Dzungar people, who knows that the Mongols in southern Mo are so unbeaten by the Dzungars that they occupy their hometown, Like a lost dog, he retreated to Liaodong, and now it is urgent to solve this big problem, and he must not raise a tiger again.

When this urgent battle report was delivered to Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun couldn't help but be vigilant, he smiled bitterly, Wang Zhijin's opinion was to take advantage of the opportunity of the Dzungar people's northern expedition to immediately mobilize all legions to attack it, and it must not raise tigers for trouble, but Zhu Jun understood that Galdan was not ready to tear his face with Daming, and Daming was also not ready to go out of the decisive battle, Liaodong, Beiping, and Tudong's three major legions were newly created, and the Royal Dragoon Regiment training had just begun, and it would take at least a year to have combat power, And the major armies in the south are elite, but all of them are foot soldiers, let more than 200,000 foot soldiers run to the grassland to play with people on horseback, I am afraid that people will drag you to death, since the dynasties, the Central Plains Dynasty when the military strength is strong, the poor grassland alien race can not be annihilated in one fell swoop, it is for this reason, if you talk about combat power, the Central Plains Dynasty, which is many times more numerous than the foreign race, has repeatedly been invaded by foreign races, and it is for this reason that he comes to fight you, and you can find you at any time, because you have a city, a field, and a pass, and for the Central Plains Dynasty, If you go to fight him, hundreds of thousands, millions of troops enter the vast grassland, I am afraid that you will not even find the shadow of the enemy, and the supply line of thousands of miles has become a stone on the head of the Central Plains Dynasty, and it will not take long for you to come back obediently after consuming great manpower and material resources.

Therefore, Zhu Jun's only way to deal with Galdan is to learn from Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, with cavalry against cavalry, the horses of foreign races are fast, the horses of the Han people are faster than them, the horses of the foreign races are faster than them, the riding and archery skills of the foreign races are proficient, the Han people are more skilled than them, the foreign races come and go like the wind in the grassland, and the Han people are like ghosts on the grassland.

It's just that all this needs a strong and well-equipped iron cavalry, in addition to the cavalry battalions of the Liaodong Legion, the Lingdong Legion, and the Beiping Legion, Zhu Jun's focus is on the Royal Dragoon Regiment, the Dragoon Regiment has only 30,000 backbones, but recently it has expanded by 20,000 people, 50,000 people are two war horses each, and the war horses are naturally taken from the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners. Just to reduce weight, after all, their main means of attack is not a war knife, but a fire system.

This kind of fire system is different from the fire system in the hands of the foot soldiers, but it is similar to the three-eyed fire spoon of the Ming army guarding Liaodong a few years ago, but after the transformation, the technology of the short system "revolver" is integrated into the entry, and the command is longer than the short system, so that the range can be increased, about the length of a small arm, and the other parts are similar to the short system, you can hit six times in a row with one hand, after the blow, the wheel behind the rotating fire mirror can be hit immediately, this kind of fire dysprosium has been named the riding mirror by the Ministry of Industry, and the cavalry is riding on a horse, One hand to control the horse, the other hand to shoot the mirror, and after the six ammunition are fired, immediately pull out the long knife at the waist and plunge into close combat, if the enemy escapes, then it is a sharp weapon for pursuit.

According to the experiments of the Ministry of Industry, the range of this fire system is two to three times higher than that of the Mongols' bows and arrows, and because it can be connected, the shooting is more than five times that of the bow and arrow, and the lethality is obviously better.

"Passed the decree, the Royal Dragoon Regiment accelerated the training, all the assessment content increased, three days later, Lian Yao personally went to the camp to inspect Zhu Jun put down the battle report, his brows twisted into a ball, his time is running out, the Manchus may be the same as the Mongols before entering the customs, but after entering the customs, it is different, not only because of corruption, but the Manchus have given up nomadism and are skilled in farming, they at least have a city to defend, and the Mongols are coming and going like the wind in the grassland, there is no burden at all, it is easy to defeat them, but it is difficult to make them completely surrender.

It's a little late today, pitiful, I've been scolded all day, but now it's half past seven in the evening, and I don't even dare to open it, so I finally got out.
