Chapter 172 Scatter and Scatter

"If the flag owner is short of food, why don't I take a trip to Zhangjiakou?" Bo Bo Jun asked himself.

His master had a manpower left in Zhangjiakou, and he also knew that Fan Wencheng had a manpower in Zhangjiakou. Whether it is a direct robbery, or a half-buy and half-robbery, Daming Zhangjiakou is not a problem for himself.

"Not necessarily, not yet." Bakker outright refused.

There is nothing wrong with them needing food, but. Before leaving, the shaman also explained. Now the situation is different. At present, the main task of their banner lord is to preserve their strength and wait for the change of the court of Houjin.

If there is a conflict with Daming at this time. Cranes and mussels compete, fishermen profit, and the happiest should be Huang Taiji.

What's more, whether it is Datong or Xuanfu now, they are the heavy troops of the Ming Dynasty, and they do not have the strength to directly attack the Ming Dynasty just by relying on the lightly armed cavalry of Bakr and Qi Bailai. But if it's just grabbing food, it's not your own style.

The most feared thing in this world is that there is a different mind, and once this mentality is generated, there is nothing to go back. What Huang Taiji needs is a unified voice, and he can't stand it anymore when Houjin stays in this tribal state. But Dai Shan is different, he feels that he has lost his rights. As for Houjin's future, does it have anything to do with himself, a person who has no future?

"Hey, woman, you say, are there any other tribes around here?"

"Barry, Ergan, Crewe, Duoyan, Miergan." The woman did her best to shrink into the corner of the tent when she heard Bakir's voice, and then she raised her head and spoke. As soon as he finished speaking, he shrank himself back again.

"Who is the richest of these?"

"Duoyan tribe. Every three months, the Duoyan tribe holds a large gathering on the grassland. At every big gathering, the Duoyan tribe will take out a lot of things to exchange with everyone. Good stuff for all of us was given to them. The woman said based on her own experience at meetings.

"Alright, Bo Bo, our next opponent is the Duoyan tribe. Let's check their condition. ”

When Bakkel had eaten and drunk enough, he spread out the blanket of his eyelids and lay down on it and fell asleep.

Bo Bojun couldn't see that there was a stinking and snoring man next to him who was sleeping, so he had to get out of the tent and check the army's logistics by the way. For a Han Chinese, it is difficult to be recognized and accepted by the Manchurians, so Bao Baijun relies on his own carefulness and responsibility.

Neither of them thought of the quail-like woman who was right next to them as a human being.

The grassland is not big, and the news that the Manchurians wiped out seven small tribes in one go still reached Sun Chuanting's ears.

Yuan Chonghuan sat across from him.

"Just call it like that?" Sun Chuanting looked at the passionate Yuan Chonghuan.

"What else should I do?"

There was no channel for the news to spread at all, and both men were ignorant of what was happening in Manchuria.

"Move that thing on your shoulder! After defeating this team, Manchuria will definitely send out more troops, do you think in this case, can we still build the Naturalization City? ”

Manchuria's reaction was too fast, Sun Chuanting thought with hatred in his heart. He originally thought that there would be at least a year, but who knew that Manchuria did not give him a month.

What's more, it is not yet possible to excessively reveal one's strength in firearms. If you can't nail this nail down in the grassland, it will take more time and cost to start over.

After a few days of not seeing each other, both of them turned into big smoking guns, irrirantly scrambling to be the first to swallow the clouds.

"How about we put the target on the south side of Yinshan?"

Yuan Chonghuan held a cigarette in one hand and scratched on the map with the other. In the end, he pointed directly to the area of Yinshan South - Eilechuan.

"Hiss............" Sun Chuanting gasped, he felt that this plan was too crazy.

"Every large-scale expedition in Manchuria has at least one Baylor-level existence. The weather is getting colder and colder, and he will definitely not advance with these armies, and it is very likely that he will stay in the tent of the Mongol king. ”

"Our number is too small, as long as we can put on a posture of encirclement, the main force will still eliminate the teams that have come back one after another to increase their strength." Yuan Chonghuan drew a large circle on the south side of Yin Mountain on the map.

"The number is not a problem, we will use our own cavalry as the main force, and then coerce some Mongols as auxiliaries."

"Food supplies are a problem." Sun Chuanting pointed to the three main exits of the Xuanda line. No matter where he went, he found that if Yuan Chonghuan arrived at the Nanshan Ranch, most of the transportation line would be exposed to a mixed area of Manchurians and Mongols.

"And the weather." At this time, Sun Chuanting began to think from Yuan Chonghuan's point of view. "Once it snows on the grasslands, it's hard to find directions."

"Hahaha."

Yuan Chonghuan, who was a little unhappy just now because Sun Chuanting scolded him a few words, now patted him on the shoulder.

"The weather, the food, the supplies. It's not good for me, and it's not good for the Houjin barbarians. What's more, we are now mentally arithmetic and unintentional. When did you, the king of Sun Yama, become such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law? I only know that only blood can wash away the shame on our Ming generals. ”

People are like that, and all troubles come from uncertainty. Once things are settled, whether it's good or bad, there's no more worry. Sun Chuanting is not a mother-in-law, so he immediately agreed with Yuan Chonghuan's decision. Next, both of them are caught up in huge, massive work.

Naturally, Sun Chuanting began to be in charge of civil affairs. Nearly 30,000 people were divided into numerous groups of fifty, each led by a woman. The six hundred women chose six leaders, and then Nktuja, the youngest of the six

At the moment when he was selected, Enketuya generously visited Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting did not choose to see her in his tent this time, but chose to be in the Chinese military tent.

The current Chinese military tent is no longer the original Chinese military tent, there are more busy staff officers, and in the middle is a huge sand table, marking the location of every important stronghold on the grassland.

"You were recommended by everyone, and Admiral Ben doesn't treat you like a normal woman. This is the seven products of the Ming Dynasty. You are all born in yurts, in order not to forget your roots, the official helped you think of a bag character as a surname, and then took the words "Enya" from your name. ”

Although Sun Chuanting is positioned as a civil affairs manager, he still likes to wear a military uniform sent by His Majesty the Emperor.

When he said this, he handed over the farewell. Nketuya took it, and on it was the three words Bao Enya, which was nominated, and it was the seal of the governor of Xuanda.

"Among the Mongols, it is rare for you to know how to read and read. It seems that it is about to snow, but the Manchurians will only ask you for food, but your royal tent will not give up the Nanshan Autumn Pasture. If you don't work hard together, how many do you think you can survive with more than 30,000 women and children outside, as well as cattle and sheep born this year? ”

Nktuya is very straightforward, her tutor is from the Ming Dynasty, and her reading since childhood has made her understand the situation of her own people better than the Mongols outside.

Nketuya naturally understood. Everyone came to the Duoyan tribe to ask for a way to survive, and I also met the Duoyan patriarch a few days ago, and they can't bear so many women and children. So, when you proposed that everyone gather, Enya saw a chance to survive for the first time. In any case, we hope to get through this crisis under the leadership of you, General. ”

Bao Enya was clear, but she didn't have a choice. The Manchurians slaughtered the tribes, and the princes and nobles only collected taxes. Don't find a suitable place to spend the winter when the snowflakes are falling, and there will be at most one or two out of the ten people who can survive.

Duoyan's patriarch is an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, what can she know, Sun Chuanting thought silently. But that can't be said.

"I'll tell you the truth, the Manchurian 3,000-man team has already rushed here. The more severe the natural disaster, the more severe the man-made disaster in the Mongolian steppe. Everyone wants to live, and this is the only way left to be forced. ”

"What does the General need us to do?" After Bao Enya heard the news, she did not panic. She knew that this was just a bargaining chip thrown by the Ming man on the other side in order to raise her own consideration.

"Three things." Sun Chuanting walked to the side of the sand table.

"The first thing has basically been completed, if Miss Enya does not object, I will report this great name issued by myself to the officials and cabinets of the imperial court, from now on, you and I are all ministers of the same palace. I'll tell you the truth, if the people outside don't agree, there is no need for Daming to reach out. If one person agrees, we take one person, and ten people agree, we take ten people. This point needs to be made clear after the girl goes out. For three days, I waited here for the girl for three days. ”

Bao Enya felt a little tricky and frowned.

Sun Chuanting knocked on the table.

"I still need to draw some defensive teams out of 30,000 people here."

"Okay." Bao Enya is thorough.

"Enya is okay here, I'll convince everyone tonight."

Of the 30,000 people, less than 5,000 can be called young and middle-aged. Sun Chuanting will not stay among the 30,000 people, he needs to be a stable population, not a barrel of dynamite full of uncertainty.

"The second thing, if things go well on our side, in three days, this is where we expect to attack."

Sun Chuanting took Enya to the sand table and pointed to the Naturalization City with the red flag.

"This city, accommodating 50,000 people is not a problem, and it can also give everyone a respite and shelter from the wind and snow. That's why I'm going to send out 5,000 people as a convoy. ”

Since everyone is on the same boat, except for the things that must be kept secret, Sun Chuanting has completely arranged the rest of the arrangements and spread them on the table transparently.

"All you have to do is move towards Naturalization City as quickly as possible in an orderly manner over the course of a few days, while collecting enough hay on the way. Although most of the cattle and sheep may have to be made into jerky when they arrive in Guihua City, they still have to be ensured to survive to the city. ”

"Okay." Bao Enya has no problem with this arrangement.

"The problem may be more serious than you think." Sun Chuanting glanced at Bao Enya.

"One is that within one day, we will defeat the city lord Puribu who is entrenched in the city of naturalization. In addition, we must beware of the Manchurians who will pounce on them at any time and take a bite. They are both one-man and two-horseed, and they are very fast. For this, Sun Chuanting also has a headache. He is now an old housekeeper who is full of pots and jars, and the other party is a bachelor who doesn't care.

"We can't have too many troops on our side, so we can only do everything possible to delay the opponent's speed as much as possible on the line of the opponent's movement, but we can't expect too much. If we enter the city one day earlier, we will be able to live a few more people, and if we restore the city defense one day earlier, we will be safe one day earlier. ”

"And it's all on you."

Sun Chuanting and Yuan Chonghuan also repeatedly deduced several possibilities. For them, the safest thing to do is to throw away the tens of thousands of poor people who have belonged to the Duoyan tribe. In this way, whether it is the army under Yuan Chonghuan or Sun Chuanting who is light and simple, they will disappear without a trace in front of the Manchurians like droplets of water that have disappeared into the sea.

However, in the end, both of them rejected this best policy.

This is a major crisis, but it is also a huge opportunity for the Ming court, which has disappeared from the grassland for decades. Once they can successfully occupy the city of Guihua, they will be able to repel the Manchurians' three-plate axe and shelter these 30,000 people well. Then, Daming's will become a huge banner on the grassland.

Otherwise, Daming will have to spend a few more years, and it will depend on whether there is a suitable opportunity. Sun Chuanting thought so, and also wrote his thinking process in his original recital to His Majesty the Emperor.

As he spoke, he called the Jinyi Wei Baihu who was protecting him.

"Zou Erhu, have you figured it out?"

"My subordinates are here to protect my lords." Zou Erhu still didn't seem to have figured it out, and poked there angrily.

"Protect me, how can you have the pleasure of killing the enemy on the battlefield and making meritorious contributions. I can't wait for you to reply, I've already made it clear in the compromises to the court. Do you think there are a lot of people in my hands who can be used under these embattlements? ”

Zou Erhu hesitated a little, but still said sincerely:

"When his subordinates went out of Beijing, His Majesty told his subordinates that most of the heavens and the earth are not as safe as Lord Sun. My subordinates also know that the situation is urgent, and I can go, but the adult's guards must be left in half. This can be regarded as Zou Erhu's concession.

"Just leave Li Sanbiao, Zhang Shibai and Liu Shishi. If there are not enough people left, let them find it themselves and bring it out by themselves. All fifty of you go to Miss Bauenya. Don't think about it easily, fifty people have to organize 30,000 people, this matter is a difficult thing for adults and me. ”

Zou Erhu followed Sun Chuanting's side, of course he knew what situation he was facing now, and he could only nod his head to accept the order.

"Miss Bao, the third thing can only be done by you." Bao Enya saw the solemnity of what Sun Chuanting said, and stood up straight.

"When you arrive in Naturalization City, the old man will naturally push you to the position of the city lord. To tell you the truth, in the current grassland, it is far better for a Mongolian Enketuya to be the lord of the city than a Ming man. ”

Bao Enya understands, and she knows the risks. But a city where a Mongolian woman is the lord of the city is more reassuring for those tribesmen scattered outside.

"No problem, I will naturally assume the name of the city lord outside."

Regarding Bao Enya's transparency, Sun Chuanting smiled and nodded. "Since you are so refreshing, the old man will naturally not let you suffer. Your two sons will be taken by the old man's butler and will return to Datong with this group of caravans. For the time being, they can live in the old man's mansion, and the old man will also let the clansmen treat them as his own children. ”

"Thank you, General!"

This time, it can be seen that Bao Enya is truly grateful from the bottom of her heart this time. Sun Chuanting felt that she seemed to be a little hesitant.

"We are grasshoppers on a rope now, if there is anything to say, from tomorrow onwards, whether it is you or the old man, it is estimated that there will be no time for gossip."

"Can I just send one child here?"

Sun Chuanting thought that Bao Enya was worried about himself, but he didn't show it on his face.

"Yesterday I saw a girl in the crowd with her younger brother on her back, but she was much smarter and more competitive than my child who didn't fight for it, and I didn't know if I could take a place. ”

The child that Bao Enya saw was like seeing herself when her parents died, she had already taken the girl to her side, and at this time, she was more willing to give the child a chance.

Hearing this, Sun Chuanting knew that he would be wrong, and laughed to cover up his emotions.

"Since you can all look at it, it's good to add one. Don't worry, as long as we can gain a foothold in the Naturalization City, the children will have a good life. ”

"My subordinates know." This is the first time that Bao Enya has directly said the words of his subordinates.

Next, what outsiders see is no longer the smiling Sun Chuanting.

Waves of people began to be disrupted, and many eleven or twelve-year-old children were also drawn out, and for a while, the cries of herdsmen who did not know why resounded all over the world. In addition, sixty brocade guards were also involved, and the spies from various tribes were caught at every turn, and there was no interrogation process, and they were directly beheaded and still on the side of the road.

The remaining young and middle-aged people were also organized into an army and stuffed into Yuan Chonghuan's hands. Overnight, Yuan Chonghuan's subordinates had an army of more than 10,000 people, and the guerrilla was promoted to deputy general, and the deputy general was promoted to staff general, and all those brought out of the customs were promoted.

What's more, all this was done on the march of the brigade.

Sun Chuanting sat in the carriage and looked at the crowd of people outside who were slowly but surely moving towards the planning city.

"Inform Yuan Chonghuan that they don't need to consider the speed of the movement of the team, they will set off towards Naturalization City as soon as possible." After thinking about it, he said to the staff officer beside him.

"Then ten carts were put out for the elderly who couldn't walk and the children who couldn't walk. Tell Bao Enya to let her herdsmen throw away all unnecessary things, as long as people, people will be victorious when they arrive in Guihua City! ”
