Chapter 493: Five Hundred Miles to the West
The day before, he still wanted to ransack the white skin town of Daming in the posture of a hunter, but at this moment he turned out to be a fat sheep of all forces.
"Duoyan, Jurchen, you are looking for death!"
Pinching soft persimmons, this is probably a common problem of human beings, and it is not because it automatically ignores the most powerful Mandu Sea, but points the finger at the two little brothers.
"Kill them all, let these Ming lackeys all die!" The five thousand Mongol knights who had just experienced defeat immediately rekindled their fighting spirit and cursed one after another.
"Follow this master and kill them without leaving a piece of armor!"
Because they led 5,000 cavalry to leave from the eastern wall, they were in the east of Eastern Mongolia, and now they were closer to Duoyan and Haixi Jurchen, and they quickly gathered their various troops to defeat Duoyan Sanwei and Haixi 4.
The four tribes of Haixi were naturally the only four tribes left by the Ming Dynasty.
Duoyan Sanwei, also known as "Wuliangha Sanwei", was an administrative body set up by the Ming Dynasty in the northeastern Mongolian region, including the three guards of Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu.
In the twenty-second year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty set up the Wuliang Ha Sanwei, Feng Aza Lili as the commander of Taining Wei, Feng Tulu Huchaer as the commander of Duoyan Wei, and Feng Hai Sanan replied Xi as the commander of Fuyu Wei, requiring them to "lead their own departments to secure animal husbandry".
Although Duoyan Sanwei is a general term, it is actually three forces, although it has been repeated after being attached to the Ming Dynasty, but it is always more obedient to the Ming Dynasty.
This time, they acted together with the four guards of the Hercynian Navy, and their goal was very clear, not to attack Yong Xie Bu's headquarters, but to expand their territory to the west.
"As long as you plant our flag, everyone will be rewarded!"
"Don't you think your ranch is small? Today is a great opportunity! β
"As long as we go five hundred miles to the west, everyone in our tribe will not worry about cattle and sheep without grass to eat in the future!"
β¦β¦
While expanding westward, Duoyan Sanwei and Haixi Sibu also inspired their soldiers to invade the territory of Eastern Mongolia very frantically.
Originally, they had always been afraid of the power of the Northern Yuan, after all, the predecessor of the Northern Yuan was the Great Yuan, even if it was driven back to the prairie by the Huaxia Dynasty, and its current strength should not be underestimated.
It's just that who would have thought that the document from Manduhai, the king of the Northern Yuan, confirmed that Eastern Mongolia no longer belonged to the Northern Yuan, but only belonged to the jurisdiction of the Yongxieb Ministry.
Now that the Ming Dynasty has openly told them, they can not only exchange for the rewards of the Ming Dynasty, but also the territory they occupy belongs to themselves.
It is precisely because of this, in order to get more pastures, they almost poured out of their nests, just to be able to occupy more pastures from this war that cooperated with the Ming Dynasty.
At the beginning of the morning light, the dew had not yet faded, and the iron horses of the four Jurchen tribes of Haixi swept in like a violent wind.
Their horses' hooves crushed the morning tranquility, and the Jurchen cavalry's faces were resolute and ferocious, and their eyes burned with a desire for victory.
In the camp of the Mongol tribes, people were awakened by the sudden sound of war drums.
Due to the conscription, most of their young men had been evacuated, and now facing the Jurchens coming from the east, they immediately ran out of the tent in a panic.
"Kill!"
In the distance, the dust was flying, and the Jurchen iron horsemen broke through the defense line of the camp like an unstoppable torrent, and slaughtered with a scimitar in their hands.
They and the Mongols were nomadic peoples, and they had no psychological burden at all about invading other people's territory, and now the killing of the Mongols was seen as a mere hunting operation.
"Where's my horse?"
"Bastard, who took Lao Tzu's bow?"
"Don't run away, let's kill it together!"
β¦β¦
The Mongol warriors hurriedly took up arms and tried to organize an effective resistance, but their ranks looked disorganized under the charge of the Jurchen cavalry.
"Kill them all!"
"Whoever kills more people will have more pastures!"
"Five hundred miles to the west, everyone is a rancher!"
β¦β¦
The Haixi Jurchen cavalry, wielding long knives and shouting battle slogans, rushed into the Mongol camp again and again, reaping the lives of these Mongols.
The battlefield was filled with gunsmoke and the smell of blood filled the air.
Every charge of the Haixi Jurchen cavalry was accompanied by the screams of the Mongol warriors and the sound of falling to the ground, and the shouts and horses' hooves were intertwined, forming a tragic war song.
After the end of the war, the steppe was left with a wolf spark. The iron hooves of the Jurchen cavalry crushed the homeland of the Mongol tribes, and their victory proclaimed the new domination of the steppe.
A similar battle was also played out on the side of the Duoyan Sanwei, who hunted one Mongol concentration after another, and also wanted to expand five hundred miles to the west.
Two days later, a key battle was staged as scheduled.
"Kill!"
A war on the grassland began, but the two warring sides did not participate in the Ming Dynasty, but Duoyan Sanwei and the four departments of Haixi fought together.
It was also because of the division of troops to fight against the invading Haixi Jurchen Sibu and Duoyan Sanwei, just when he was fighting with Haixi Siwei, Duoyan Sanwei actually killed him.
Duoyanwei is the strongest in the area of Duoyan Mountain in the upper reaches of the Guiliu River, and the current tribal leader is A'er Begging.
A'er beggar's life in the prairie was not Sichuan, and he was once forced by the Northern Yuan, and his tribe migrated from the Liaodong region to the land of the Yellow River, and then fled.
After succeeding to the position of governor Tongzhi, he also asked the Ming court to buy cattle and farm tools to develop agriculture, but he was also plundered by his father.
Originally, he could continue to annex the territory to the east, but he also chose to come to join forces with the four Jurchens of Haixi because he was exploring the left flank.
"Damn, didn't Ao Ga lead his troops to stop the attack? How so? β
Seeing that Ah Er begged to lead Duoyan Sanwei directly into his ribs, the original 5,000 troops were instantly dispersed by the sudden appearance of the force, and his subordinates chose to flee one after another.
"Taishi, Ao Hao has returned to his tribe, and Agoura has fled with his troops just now!" A pro-soldier gets military information, when even the report.
"Damn, damn it, they will definitely pay for their choice today!" is not because he learned that he was betrayed, and he was even more angry that his molars were bitten apart.
In fact, when he was sniped by the Ming army in Liaodong, he faintly felt that there was instability within his army on the way back.
After all, the loss of 5,000 elite horsemen this time almost cut off his road to dominating the grassland. A person who cannot lead them to dominate the grassland, then they naturally prefer to preserve their strength, or choose to follow Mandu Sea again.
It's just that he didn't expect to betray himself at such a critical moment, and he was simply stabbed in the back.
"Kill!"
The four divisions of Haixi and Duoyan Sanwei fought together, and the Yibu department had already been discouraged, and many of them were recruits who had just been forcibly recruited, so they immediately chose to flee back to their tribes.
When the setting sun filled the battlefield, the Haixi Jurchen cavalry launched a final charge, their horses neighing and rushing into the final battle formation, their long knives waving, and their heads rolled to the ground.
"Withdraw!"
also knew that he was powerless to return to the sky, so he immediately led the only remaining soldiers to break through and leave.
"Don't let Yi Buyin run away, that's a head of 10,000 silver dollars!" When I saw that I was not breaking through, even someone shouted loudly.
In order to stimulate Haixi Siwei and Duoyan Sanwei to work harder to kill the enemy, the Ming court also marked the price of the human head that was not indiscriminate, which was enough to make a person worry about food and clothing 10,000 silver dollars.
Nor is it because although the battle is defeated, it is not easy to be captured.
He hated to take the only remaining dozens of his own soldiers towards his north, and this time he had a faint feeling that the plan he had made to move north might really come in handy.
It's not because the Ming Dynasty sent a large army to the north, but now Eastern Mongolia is facing the dilemma of being attacked from the east and west, and it is difficult for him to continue to dominate in Eastern Mongolia.
On the last day of June, the Ming Dynasty ushered in an important day.
In the chapter of "There is a Beginning, there is a Beginning" in the "LΓΌ's Spring and Autumn Period", it is recorded in the book: "There are nine fields in the sky, there are nine states in the earth, there are nine mountains in the soil, and there are nine stops in the mountains. β
Juyong is one of the nine stops, and it has been an important military capital since ancient times.
With the relocation of the capital of the Ming Dynasty to Beijing, Juyongguan, as the gateway to the northwest, greatly improved its military strategic position and became the first fortress to resist the southward movement of the Mongol cavalry.
Originally, this was an important defensive point, but today a large number of troops were stationed in the city, and the forward was sent to the northernmost Badaling Pass.
"All the soldiers obeyed the order and marched a hundred miles north!"
Chen Ji, the new governor of Jizhen, personally led his troops out of the fortress, and he seemed ambitious to draw his sword.
After the Mandu Sea was cut off from Yibrain in the name of the Northern Yuan, Eastern Mongolia was already considered terra nullius.
They can assign the territory to Duoyan Sanwei and Haixi Sibu, and naturally they can also occupy it themselves, and the minimum goal of the Ming Dynasty is to occupy a hundred miles of land.
Although Daming is an agrarian country, there is also a great demand for cattle and sheep now.
The reason why I walked out of the Great Wall this time is not only to show the strength of Daming, but also to get a high-quality pasture through this move, so as to expand the breeding scale of Daming cattle grass.
It was precisely in this way that when the east and west of Eastern Mongolia were fighting, the Ming Dynasty also sent an army out of the Badaling Pass, and the goal was to occupy a hundred miles of pasture.
Of course, this 100 li is the minimum goal, and if the three forces are all foreign workers, they don't mind directly occupying the entire eastern part of Mongolia.
On the first day of July, the weather was still very hot.
Because of the day and night, his body was already soaked, and he finally returned to his headquarters with only a few dozen people left, and his hanging heart was finally relaxed.
It's just that he just breathed a sigh of relief, but he noticed the flag on his account, and a chill welled up in his heart.
Just as he wanted to turn around and leave, it turned out that Manduhai's henchman general Dehuochi had already led his troops to surround him, and dozens of them had already become turtles in the urn.
It is also because of the combination that at this moment, the Yongxieb Department is still not moving, but he guesses that it has changed hands here, and Manduhai occupies his headquarters.
"Taishi, Mandu Haihatun wants to see you, please!" Dehuo Chi was the most loyal general in Manduhai, and he looked at him with great contempt.
In the big tent, a middle-aged woman with thick eyebrows was sitting upright, exuding a spirit that was not weaker than a man, and was looking coldly at the person who was escorted in.
Originally, she hoped to assist Dayan Khan well, but she found out that this person was a wolf with ambitions, and after Dayan Khan died, he had almost established himself as a khan.
"Hatun, I am willing to look forward to the head of Hatun Ma, and please help me survive this catastrophe!" The mentality of the cause has changed, and it immediately expresses surrender to the truth.
Man Duhai was playing with a golden knife, and said with a smile: "You have caused such a big disaster this time, do you still want to pull our entire Dayuan to bury you?" β
"Hatun, as long as our various ministries are united, there is no need to be afraid of Da Ming at all!" is also because he knows that only Mandu Hai can save himself, and he is obviously seriously bewitching the truth.
Manduhai has been able to master the Northern Yuan Dynasty for so many years, so he naturally has his own subjective judgment: "You have 10,000 iron horses to go south, I don't know how many people will come back today?" β
Thinking of what happened to him this time, he has realized that Da Ming is much stronger than he imagined.
He directly lost 5,000 elites in Liaodong, although the 5,000 cavalry behind him had no direct relationship with the Ming Dynasty, but in fact he was still defeated by the Ming Dynasty.
In the face of the sharp question of Manduhai, he was suddenly embarrassed: "I ......"
"Cut yourself!" Manduhai didn't want to say more, and immediately dropped the gem-encrusted gold dagger in his hand.
She knows the current situation better than anyone else, and she also understands that the current Beiyuan does not have the strength to compete with the Ming Dynasty, so it is naturally impossible to lose everything for those who have different intentions.
Seeing the golden dagger on the ground, he made a final struggle and said, "We are the same race!" You...... You're helping the Han Chinese! β
"Only when you die, can we get peace back!" Manduhai looked very serious and authentic.
He also picked up the golden dagger, but he wanted to return it to the earth: "This kind of peace, we will never accept it!" β
"I took this place so easily, in fact, this is already the attitude of your Yong Xie Bubu!" Man Duhai looked at it because he wanted to use the tribe as a bargaining chip, so he said with a smile.
It is not because of the sudden lightning strike, his headquarters was so easily taken away by Manduhai, although because of Manduhai's prestige and strength, but I am afraid that it is inseparable from the choice of his tribe.
At the very least, there was no large-scale war here, proving that his headquarters was more willing to obey Mandu Hai than himself as a loser.
"Since the matter started because of you, then use your death to give Da Ming an explanation, and now Da Yuan's first goal is to unify the grassland!" Manduhai spoke his mind.
"I'm not convinced!" He picked up the dagger on the ground, and then rushed to the Mandu Sea.
Burst!
A sharp blade pierced through the heart of the untouching, and he fell unwillingly.
After Dayan Khan was assassinated by the Great Ming, he always thought that his chance had come. He had been waiting for decades for this goal, and now he was able to compete with Manduhai, but he had laid the foundation for the sacking of Xuanfu.
After all, he despised the Ming Dynasty and underestimated the Ming Emperor of Wenzhi and martial arts.
When Manduhai saw the death in front of him, he ordered lightly: "Release the news immediately: Taishi will not flee to the east for nothing, and he doesn't know what to do!" β
It's just that as soon as these words came out, the surrounding subordinates immediately looked at each other, but they didn't understand why Manduhai wanted to release this fake news. (End of chapter)
