Chapter 370: The wolf cub is sharp, with white eyes and black heart
Under the gloomy sky, there was a war in the steppes to the north with a serious disparity of strength.
At the west end of the hillside, there are 15,000 elite horsemen, like wolves lurking here, and at the east end of the hillside is a small tribe of only a few hundred people.
Although only 2,000 elite horsemen have been dispatched to the west of the hillside, the balance of victory has already tilted in favor of the west, where the law of the jungle belonging to human society is being staged.
In fact, the small gathering realized that they were outnumbered, and after their leader Tara was shot, they were already planning to abandon the place and flee for their lives.
Just as the two thousand elite horsemen arrived at the hinterland of this gathering place, wanting to take advantage of the victory to pursue and harvest the lives of these fugitives, a crisp horn came from the rear.
"Collect troops?"
Just as they were about to easily annihilate this small tribe, they actually heard the horn of retreat, and everyone was dumbfounded.
Knowing that the enemy was in front of them, and that this victory was within reach, Dayan Khan actually asked them to retreat and give up the fruits of the victory.
However, everyone knows in their hearts that the military order is like a mountain.
No matter how puzzled they were, they were soldiers after all, and they had to retreat according to the instructions at this moment and leave this place full of spoils.
Sigh......
The Mongol cavalry, who had just brandished their swords and slaughtered the gathering area, tightened the reins of their horses, and although many cavalry returned as soon as possible, many of them collected their spoils.
They are not civilized and are not bound by Confucianism.
As long as it is something that is eye-catching, it will be confiscated, except for a few lonely women and sheep, not even the iron pot that is cooking mutton in the fire.
The reason why they can come and go freely is precisely because they have thrown civilization aside, but there is nothing they dare not do, and there is no behavior that they are afraid of.
"King Pak Shun, you ...... What do you mean by that? ”
Datong Yushi Tiezhi saw the sudden truce on the battlefield below, and saw that the Mongols were actually collecting troops in Mingjin, so he immediately stepped forward angrily and asked.
Chao Lu patted his horse back, and said disdainfully to Tie Zhi, who was blushing and thick-necked: "Tie Yushi, haven't you already seen it?" Our Great Khan has already fought against the Alchukha tribe with his troops, and we have already won them, and now it is time to return triumphantly! ”
"King Beishun, you can't do this, what kind of triumphant return is this?" Datong Yu Shi Tiezhi was anxious, and immediately spoke to stop him.
Dayan Khan also stopped pretending, and immediately scolded in his original form: "Enough, don't call Ben Khan the king of Beishun, this Khan doesn't recognize this king of Beishun at all!" ”
Although the Northern Yuan and Mongolia were in the honeymoon period in recent years, and received a lot of rewards from the Ming Dynasty every year, and even a lot of cotton cloth assistance, he has always disagreed with this relationship, and he is even more reluctant to become the king of Beishun, the foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty.
In particular, the word "Shun" is simply an insult to their golden family.
In the past, he was young, and it was Manduhai who was actually in power, so he could only endure all this silently. It's just that now he is an adult, and he is the supreme commander of the outside world.
Now he wants to redefine the relationship between Dayuan and Daming, not only to abolish the title of King of Beishun, but also to regard himself as Dayuan to Daming, and even ask Daming to give more "peace money" every year.
This is...... Psychological!
Several Mongolian tribes present saw that Dayan Khan was so disgusted with the title of King of Beishun, and immediately realized that Dayan Khan's heart had been aggrieved, and now it finally broke out.
Dayan Khan knew that the unknown teacher would make a taboo, and immediately pointed out the "evil deeds" of the Ming Dynasty and said: "Don't you think that this Khan does not know your small actions of the Ming Dynasty, and you sell weapons to the tribes such as Gikeli!" ”
"Pak Soon...... Dayan Khan, you are just a foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has the right to sell weapons to the friendly tribes such as Akeli, and you have no right to interfere with a foreign vassal at all! "Datong Yushi Tiezhi knew about this, but he argued with reason.
Chaolu was Dayan Khan's confidant, and he was also the most important promoter of Dayan Khan's break with the Ming Dynasty: "Do you know how much loss you caused to our Dayuan by selling weapons? ”
"If it weren't for the fact that you invaded other people's territory under the banner of unifying Mongolia and exterminated them, where would you have lost everything?" Tetsunao, who had always longed for peace, asked rhetorically with disdain.
Although the Ming Dynasty did sell weapons to tribes such as the Gikeli, the tribes such as the Gikeli were only used for self-preservation, and the Ming Dynasty could be said to be a benevolent and righteous act.
Dayan Khan has been accustomed to seeing corpses and mountains of blood since he was a child, and said ruthlessly: "Ben Khan doesn't argue with you, anyway, it's all your Ming's fault!" ”
"Is it wrong for us to give you cotton cloth to avoid freezing to death? Our biggest mistake is to raise your white eyes and ruthlessness! Tie Zhiqi laughed very angrily, and immediately made a sarcastic authentic statement.
Although they clearly sold weapons to the tribes such as the Gukli, they were not weak to the Northern Yuan in these years, and now Dayan Khan's actions can be said to be ungrateful.
Chaolu knew that they were actually unreasonable, so he threatened with a gloomy face: "Tie Yushi, do you want to find death?" ”
"The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?" Tie Zhi faced the threat of death and responded with great dignity.
Dayan Khan was a scheming and greedy man, but he knew that the most important thing now was to swallow the second batch of ordnance and supplies: "Come on, dispose of all the carrier pigeons he carried!" ”
Tiezhi carried more than a dozen carrier pigeons on this trip, and it was through these carrier pigeons that he kept in touch with Datong.
Dayan Khan had just watched Tie Zhi release three carrier pigeons, and it was precisely Tie Zhi who needed to send back the false news of the war here, so as to trick the Ming Dynasty into sending out the second batch of ordnance and supplies.
Getting rid of the remaining carrier pigeons now is to cut off the connection between here and Datong in one fell swoop, thus completely blocking the news of their sudden withdrawal.
The rest of the pigeons were kept in cages and were cooing at the moment.
The two Mongol soldiers drew their waist knives and stabbed the blades into the cage continuously, and the carrier pigeons, which were still cooing just now, quickly became a blur of flesh and blood, and their faces bloomed with excited smiles.
Behind their courage and good fighting is ruthlessness, but also the pleasure of killing, and at this moment there is only the pleasure of stabbing these carrier pigeons.
Hey?
Dayan Khan was a very cold person, and he liked this kind of killing for no reason, but suddenly noticed that Tie Zhi was not depressed by this, but seemed to let go of the big stone that was pressing on his heart, and even became vigilant.
Chaolu is Dayan Khan's henchman, and after receiving Dayan Khan's eyes, he said tentatively: "Tie Yushi, your carrier pigeons are all dead, so it is impossible for Datong to know about our withdrawal of troops!" ”
"The carrier pigeon is dead, and the official really can't get in touch with Datong! It's just that why do you think this official carries so many carrier pigeons with him? The carrier pigeon just now did let Datong send the second batch of ordnance and supplies, but as long as the carrier pigeon broke off contact for a day, Datong knew that there was an accident here, and the ordnance and materials shipped out must be transported back to the customs to wait, you should not have killed all the carrier pigeons just now. Although you have reversed course this time, it is a dream to deceive us the second batch of ordnance and materials of the Ming Dynasty, and to get that batch of Tu Qing bows! Tie Zhi's eyes looked at Dayan Khan, and he also pointed out the flaws in this matter.
When Chao Lu heard that Da Ming still had such a secret arrangement, he immediately turned his head in horror to look at the carrier pigeon on the ground that was already bloody and fleshy, but he knew that there was a major mistake in their plan.
In their original plan, this time they only needed to pretend to start a war to deceive the second batch of military funds and materials of the Ming Dynasty to withdraw their troops, but they never thought that there would be a doorway here.
I thought that the second batch of fat meat that came to the mouth, because they didn't find out that Daming was hiding his back hand, but it actually flew.
Dayan Khan couldn't put it down because of Tu Qinggong, but he didn't expect the boiled duck to fly away, turned his head to look at Tie Zhi and suddenly asked, "You just said that Ben Khan is a white-eyed wolf?" ”
This......
The people present saw Dayan Khan pressing towards Tiezhi, and immediately felt a strong killing intent, and couldn't help but look at Datong Yushi Tiezhi worriedly, but they didn't know whether this person was a Confucian or a tough guy.
"You are a foreign vassal of the Ming Dynasty, and as a result, you are ungrateful to the Ming Dynasty, and now you are using this shameless means to cheat the Ming Dynasty's military funds, you are not only a white-eyed wolf, but also a third-rate!" Tie faced Dayan Khan's questioning and counted the trails bloodily.
For a long time, everyone has relied on their own hands to solve the problem of food and clothing, but as a result, these Mongols did not stay in the grassland to graze and live, but tried in vain to rob the grain and property of the border people of the Ming Dynasty.
Now the Ming Dynasty ushered in the Ming Dynasty and solved the dilemma that the law could not be salted, and now the border army of the Ming Dynasty is strong and has enough capital to compete with Mongolia.
It's just that the two sides have only been peaceful for two or three years, and the Mongolian Khan, who has wolf ambitions, actually reversed his word and tried in vain to deceive the Ming Dynasty by indiscriminate means.
Mutter......
Several Mongolian tribal leaders around them couldn't help but swallow and spit silently when they heard Tie Zhi evaluate Dayan Khan so mercilessly.
To be sure, although the Ming Dynasty traded with tribes such as the Qikeli, they also traded with the Northern Yuan, and even repeatedly and unconditionally assisted the affected Mongols.
As a result, Dayan Khan is now backsliding, and he is trying to deceive the Ming Dynasty's ordnance, but he is not to blame this Ming official for commenting on his Great Khan so much.
Burst!
Dayan Khan suddenly drew his knife and slashed at Datong Yushi, and a stream of blood splattered high.
Tie Zhi is a literati after all, and in the face of the killing machine from Dayan Khan, he can't dodge it at all. It's just that in the face of this death, the whole person seems very calm.
Since ancient times, no one has died, leaving this Dan to take care of the sweat.
"Those who rebel against Ben Khan, die!"
Dayan Khan has experienced a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood since he was a child, and at this moment, his eyes flashed with a hint of murder.
He is now an adult and has an army of his own, and even his wife, Manduhai, is now obedient to him in everything.
Originally, he had long wanted to break with the Ming Dynasty, but he thought that the Ming Dynasty still wanted to use their Northern Yuan as a gunman, so he decided to adopt the strategy offered by Chaolu.
As for the unspoken rule of not cutting the envoy, it doesn't work at all in him, he wants to restore the glory of the Golden Family, and even enter the Central Plains like the ancestors.
This......
Several Mongolian tribal leaders around saw Dayan Khan personally beheading the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and immediately looked at each other.
In fact, there was still room for maneuver just now, even if they did not follow the agreement to conquer the Alchukha Ministry, they could return the Ming ordnance and materials to end the matter.
In particular, their princess Yixi's marriage to the Ming Emperor made things a buffer zone.
It's just that now Dayan Khan has killed the officials representing the Ming Dynasty, this move indicates that the Ming and the Northern Yuan will break up again, and the relationship between the two sides will go to the opposite side.
"Great Khan, is this Madame's order?" When the tribal leader Temur saw the iron-clad corpse on the ground, he inquired earnestly.
The current Ming Dynasty is no longer what it used to be, under the influence of the Ming Dynasty, and now the granary of the nine sides is consolidated, and the combat power of the soldiers of the nine sides whose weapons have been upgraded has been upgraded to a higher level.
On the other hand, the Northern Yuan Dynasty is now fighting for many years, and the year before last it suffered an unprecedented frostbite, and its own strength has been cut again and again, and it has not been able to unify the Mongolian tribes.
Now that their Northern Yuan loss is too great, they need to recuperate, and it is not wise to break with the powerful Ming Dynasty.
Chaolu knew that many tribal leaders were still accustomed to obeying Manduhai in everything, and his face immediately sank: "Bold! Do you only have Madame in your eyes? ”
Although Dayan Khan was grateful to Manduhai, he also wanted to become the true master of the Northern Yuan, so he always wanted to highlight his identity as the Great Khan.
"No, it's not, it's just...... This move is to make enemies with the Ming Dynasty, and the impact is very great! Temur, the leader of the tribe, exchanged glances with the others, and hurriedly shook his head and explained.
"Ben Khan has his own considerations! Let's return to Datong immediately, we must prevent that batch of materials from being transported back to Guannai, and we must intercept that batch of Ming Dynasty ordnance and materials! Dayan Khan knew the importance of supplies, and even made a decision.
He did not choose to break with the Ming Dynasty directly, but chose to pretend to come to the Alchukha Ministry to conquer the Alchukha Ministry, and then fight a battle in disguise, so as to defraud the Ming as much as possible.
Although this time it was only two-thirds of the ordnance and materials promised by the Ming Dynasty, after all, it was obtained without a single soldier, and it can be said that it was earned.
As for their Northern Yuan and the Ming Dynasty's rebellion, this is just a trivial matter, and the biggest gain is that he has received a large number of supplies from this incident.
Now with the addition of this batch of armaments and qualifications of the Ming Dynasty, his army has the capital to unify Mongolia. However, now I don't have to think about it too much, and the only plan now is to rush back to Datong immediately and seize this piece of fat before Daming transports the second batch of ordnance and supplies back.
The leaders of the various tribes silently exchanged glances, and then followed Dayan Khan in the direction of Datong.
After all, this former little prince has grown up, and he not only wants to monopolize the power of the entire Mongolia, but also wants to unify Mongolia, and even enter the Central Plains.
In this sudden dispute, the most surprising person was the Alchukha tribe.
In the face of the Mongol cavalry attacking on a large scale, they were all mentally prepared to be exterminated, but who would have thought that the war had just sparked a little spark, and the Mongolian cavalry took the initiative to evacuate. (End of chapter)
