Chapter 99: Kill the Old Demon Woman!
On the west shore of Lake Dalinor, Yingchang City.
In that year, Emperor Tuhuan Timur of Yuan Shun led the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty to flee all the way north to Yingchang, and took Yingchang as the center to meet the Ming army, effectively preventing the Ming Dynasty army from advancing northward, which kept the name of the Northern Yuan.
Since then, Yingchang has become the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
The Tatar Ministry proclaimed itself the orthodoxy of the Great Yuan and had been stationed in Yingchang.
It's just that when Zhu Di personally conquered Mobei, he adopted the guerrilla tactics of the enemy advancing and retreating, and the enemy chasing and running.
To put it bluntly, as long as the Ming army dares to come, I dare to run.
The dignified Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, sitting on the great rivers and mountains, how can he look at the bitter cold land of Mobei, Yingchang City has nothing to grab, and he will withdraw after a few days.
If you leave, I'll come back, and if you come back, I'll run!
In this way, from Yongle to Hongxi, from Hongxi to Xuande, and then to orthodoxy.
It's just that Zhu Di beat Tatar so badly that Warat took advantage of the situation to rise.
After returning from the Kuriltai Conference, Tokhtobuhua began to gather troops and horses to prepare for the Ming Dynasty.
In his plan, Wara went to fight the main force of the Ming army, and he took the opportunity to pull Wuliangha and attack Liaodong.
If you can break through Shanhaiguan, Jingshi is in the bag.
Even if you can't attack it, you can loot it in Liaodong, and this wave will make a lot of money.
Let Wara and the Ming army consume it, even if they win first, it will be the end of the crossbow at that time, no matter what the result is, it will be beneficial to themselves without any harm.
The two leaders have their own thoughts and preparations.
A scout hurriedly dismounted and came to the Golden Horde.
"What?"
When he heard the news, he was also shocked.
Boyan is the premier warrior on the grassland, how could he be defeated so completely?
"What did you say with your own eyes?"
The scout replied: "Back to the Great Khan, the news is absolutely true, and the first Taishi has already gathered the army in advance and is ready to go south!" ”
Totobu nodded, it seems that he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.
After careful consideration, it is a wise move to choose to attack Liaodong, and the frontal battlefield should be handed over to the Warat Department to deal with!
"The First Evolution"
"That being the case, we have to prepare, pass the order, gather troops and horses, and a month later, send troops to Liaodong!"
…………
Liaodong, Daning City.
Duoyan Weidu commanded A'er to look at the two secret letters in front of him and fell into deep thought.
A letter from the Ming Jingshi is a handwritten letter from the orthodox emperor.
The other letter is from Yingchang, Mobei, and the signature is that Dayuan Khan takes off and does not spend.
This...... It's hard to choose!
At one time, Duoyanwei was a descendant of Genghis Khan's general, an authentic Mongol.
But later, I found that it was not bad to follow the Ming Dynasty, and during the Jingjing period, some of the clansmen followed the King of Yan to successfully rebel, and they were rewarded and officially became the people of the Ming Dynasty.
I thought that when these people arrived in the Central Plains, they would be excluded by others, but I didn't expect that people didn't engage in bloodline at all, as long as you integrated in, regardless of Han and Mongolian, they would be treated equally.
In Duoyan Sanwei, there are also many Mongolian and Han intermarriages, and after living for a long time, it is no different.
The curtain of the door was lifted, and a young man came in and said, "Father, the two messengers have been settled separately, you see......"
This person is Huadang, the only son of A'er Begging, who holds the position of commander and Tongzhi in Duoyanwei.
A'er raised his head, scratched his head again, and asked, "Huadang, what do you think...... What to do? ”
Although Hua Dang is young, his personality is very calm, and he is willing to discuss with his son about any major matters on weekdays.
"What does my father think?"
Hua Dang did not rush to express his opinion, but threw the question back.
A'er smiled helplessly and said, "Naturally, both sides are not offended, but this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it." ”
"Father is right, this time not only can't stay out of the matter, but will even affect the future of Duoyan Sanwei, it is better to call the commanders of Taining and Fuyu and discuss together."
"Naturally, I want to invite them over, but my father still wants to hear your opinion first."
Hua Dang sat opposite Ah Er and said, "In this case, the child should say his opinion, if it is wrong, the father is not to blame." ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"Last year, Wara also raided the area of Datong Xuanfu, the Ming army was defeated and retreated, but suddenly turned the tide of the war in Tumubao, it is said that their emperor personally arranged the tactics, and later, His Majesty the Ming Emperor personally led 3,000 people to kill into the hinterland of the grassland, and killed the rear of Wara. Nowadays, the herdsmen on the grassland, whenever they hear the words of the orthodox emperor of the Ming Dynasty, children dare not cry. ”
Ah Er nodded brutely, motioning for him to continue.
"After the orthodox emperor returned to Beijing, he acted extremely decisively, first wiped out the Jin merchants who had fornicated with the Warat people, and a month ago, he found out all the Tatar spies who brought Liaodong into the pass, and his son had a spy in his hand, who escaped by luck and brought back a very important piece of information."
Ah Er immediately asked, "What information?" ”
"The Ming army is creating a new type of firearm with great power!"
"Artillery?"
Hua Dang shook his head and said: "He only knows that the Ming army's firearms test base is in Xishan, but it is heavily guarded, and he has tried various means, but he has never been able to get close. ”
"Since he can't get close, how does he know that it's so powerful?"
"This man's neighbor has a son who works in the Xishan quarry, which is said to be near the quarry, and loud explosions can be heard every day."
"You mean, the Ming army deliberately blocked the news and vigorously investigated the Tatar spies because they were worried that the information on the new firearms would leak out?"
"This is only one reason, but in the eyes of his son, this emperor is not an idle person, and he will definitely make great achievements in the future."
A'er begged but said disapprovingly: "It's just a baby emperor, it is said that he is very fond of eunuchs, and it was also the eunuch who fanned the wind and ignited the fire when the royal driver was pro-conquest, what can he do?" ”
"That eunuch's name is Wang Zhen, my father may not know it, the baby emperor you said had already killed Wang Zhen, and he also checked all Wang Zhen's henchmen, and it is said that when he raided his house, he copied out 30 million taels of gold and silver!"
A'er gasped, 30 million taels, how much is the revenue of the Ming Dynasty's treasury, this Wang Zhen can really be greedy!
"Huadang, are your messages reliable? You just said that our current decision is related to the future of Duoyan Sanwei, but we must not be careless! ”
"Father rest assured, these news have been repeatedly verified by his son and are absolutely reliable!"
A'er pondered for a long time, but it was still difficult to choose, and frowned: "It's a pity that no one has seen the mysterious firearms of the Ming army with their own eyes, and I don't know how powerful they are......"
