Chapter 328

Huang Taiji thought that the timing he chose was very subtle. After all, he knows Mobei Mongolia better, Mobei Mongolia is poorer and poorer than Monan Mongolia, and of course, poor equipment also means worse combat effectiveness.

Even Lin Dan Khan, who is known as the Mongolian co-lord, Huang Taiji dared to lead 2,000 Jiannu cavalry to pursue more than 30,000 men and horses under Lin Dan Khan, even if it was a tenfold advantage of troops, Lin Dan Khan was also beaten to the ground.

But the problem is that Lin Dan Khan, a parallel product, can overwhelm the Mobei tribes, at least the Junggar Department of the Little Overlord of the Western Regions, and they still dare not plunder Lin Dan Khan's edge.

Of course, at that time, the Dzungar tribe did not dare to fight Lin Dan Khan because it was allied with Chaoketu Taiji (Chotu Khan) in Mobei Outer Khalkha, Zangba Khan in Tibet, and Baili Tusi Yuedun Dorjee in Kham, because they did not believe in Yellow Religion, so they were called the "Anti-Yellow Religion Alliance".

However, in history, it was the ninth year of Chongzhen, and Chaoketu Taiji was captured and killed by Batur.

Since the Battle of Baliwan, Shenyang's thriving momentum came to an abrupt end, and with the Ming Dynasty destroying the eight families of the Jin and Shang families, Cheng Shijie established a defense line on the Hunhe River, and then kept an eye on the Guanning Army, under a series of effects, the formation of the strategic encirclement of Jiannu, the city gradually seemed deserted.

The ethnic groups living in this bitter cold land are very sensitive to strength, and the Battle of Baliwan made them realize that Jiannu was not invincible, and the Ming Dynasty was not as vulnerable as they thought, and as the Ming army and Ning Navy gained a firm foothold in Liaodong and won successive victories, this understanding deepened more and more.

They didn't have the courage to ignore Jiannu, but they were not as active as before when they asked Jiannu to provide soldiers, animal power, grain, and tribute, and Shenyang gradually declined.

However, now, this city is once again lively, and many tribes such as the pro-Jiannu Mongolian Aohan, Naiman, Korqin, Khalkha, and Tumut tribes, as well as the nobles of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, and the leaders of the Sauron tribe from Ningguta, gathered in Shenyang.

The reason why they gathered in Shenyang was that there was food here, and there was a way to live here, and as the Ning Navy used the way of opening a pass to stabilize the construction of serfs and carry out foreign trade in Liaoyang, the Jiannu acted as a second-tier trader.

The price offered by the Ning Haijun to Jiannu is three stone of grain for a war horse, two stone of grain for a thin war horse, and even lower for horses and camels, while Jiannu is even more depressed, for example, the Mongols brought horses, the Sauron people picked up a large number of precious furs, and the Xibe people brought holly from the sea.

These materials have been stripped of by Jiannu, however, although they have been stripped of a layer fiercely, the problem is that they can only die if they don't trade, so in this case, they can only come and trade hard.

The materials from Liaoyang were transported to Shenyang, and in Shenyang, the tribes of various tribes led the horses, and I carried the burden, so it was not lively!

In all fairness, the price given by Ning Haijun to Jiannu is still fair, but after Jiannu peels off a layer, the price is not good, just like the cabbage sold by the watermelon producer in later generations is two cents a catty, watermelon is three or four cents, and the beans are only one piece, but when the public buys them from supermarkets or farmers' markets, the price has increased more than tenfold.

Huang Taiji has earned a lot of food and materials through trading, but the problem is that it is affected by the snow disaster, whether it is Jiannu and the Mongolian tribes, what they can take out to trade is limited, and now the transaction is almost finished, there is no material trading, and there is no Shenyang, and Shenyang City will be weakened again.

Knowing that Cheng Shijie was about to win, it was not a wise choice to sit on the wall and watch, and it was not a good choice to follow the Mongols to confront the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, Huang Taiji also knows very well that even if Cheng Shijie transferred more than 50,000 elites from Liaodong, the current Ning Navy has completed strategic mobilization, and the troops stationed in Liaoyang alone are no less than 35,000 cavalry, and it is said that Guangning, Liaozhong, and the Hunhe River are strictly guarded.

According to the situation from Huang Taiji's sentry cavalry, ice walls have been arranged on the banks of the entire Hunhe River, as well as a fairly large number of arrow towers, and it can be said that the Liaozhong defense line has been operated by the Ning Navy into an iron wall.

Of course, Huang Taiji actually didn't know that the current Liaodong, the strength of the Ning Navy is not much, there are less than 50,000 horses in total, nearly one-third of them are recruits, and there are more than 50,000 rabid soldiers in the small days, these small days warrior Cheng Shijie does not believe them, in order to prevent the small days from secretly making trouble, the Ning Navy used two capital divisions, plus more than 100 artillery pieces and more than 300 rocket artillery to look at these small days warriors.

In fact, the Ning Navy could not even pick out 20,000 horses in Liaodong at present, but the Tuntian Army mobilized 145 towns, and the craftsmen of the major factories, especially the shipyards, also armed more than 30,000 men and horses.

Huang Taiji really wanted to fight Liaodong, he would definitely hit his head and bleed, and he would definitely not be able to gnaw on the defense line of the Hunhe River.

Now Huang Taiji decided to take advantage of the fact that Cheng Shijie led more than 70,000 elite Ning Navy to fight with Mobei Mongolia, he picked peaches from behind and picked the old and weak, women and children in Mobei Mongolia.

Simple mobilization of the Eight Banners and the left and right Mongolian battalions, although it is said that the Monan Mongolian tribes under the command of Huang Taiji are of the same origin as Mobei Mongolia, but the problem is that if Mongolia is not divided, there is nothing to do with Huang Taiji.

Mongolia can divide Mobei Mongolia, Monan Mongolia, and Moxi Mongolia, and the hatred accumulated by the three parties is not small, and the feud and the grievances that cannot be united by the dog's brain are not clear for three days.

In this case, it is very easy for Huang Taiji to unify his thoughts, simply put, it is to pick peaches, grab cattle and sheep, and rob women......

If there were no two or three hundred thousand stone of grain sent by the Ning Navy, Jiannu would not have the strength to go on the expedition, but the problem is that now that there is food, he naturally has the strength.

Outside the city of Shenyang, the flag hunting, people shouting horses neighing, it is magnificent. Red flag, red flag, yellow flag, yellow flag, blue flag, white flag, blue flag, white flag, white flag...... The elite of the Eight Banners of Jiannu are all gathered here, and the prosperity of the army is unprecedented.

These Mongol and Jiannu soldiers, with green eyes, are like a pack of hungry wolves hungry for fresh meat.

"King Khan, what are you thinking?"

The expedition is imminent, Huang Taiji is also a little hesitant, he doesn't understand the truth of cold lips and teeth. This time, he fell into the well of Mobei and Moxi Mongolia, and after the destruction of Mobei and Moxi Mongolia, will there be a future for their Jin Kingdom?

Now not counting the entire Ming Dynasty, Cheng Shijie can mobilize more than 70,000 elite troops, and if these 70,000 troops attack the Dajin Kingdom, he will only have to escape.

Huang Taiji knew that he was attacking Mobei Mongolia, just drinking doves to quench his thirst, and when he heard Fan Wencheng's inquiry, he cleaned up his complicated mood, looked at Fan Wencheng and said: "Fan Aiqing is resourceful, and he stabilized the situation with a little trick, and even made me take a big step forward, worthy of being a pillar of the country!" ”

Fan Wencheng actually supported Huang Taiji to send troops, and his opinion was that this time he would unite with the Ming Dynasty to deal with Mobei and Moxi Mongolia first, and after the elimination of Mobei and Moxi Mongolia, the Ming Dynasty would definitely not and could not have the strength to enter Mobei and Moxi, which meant that the Dajin Kingdom could develop to the north and west.

Accumulate strength, and then plan later.

"It's not the work of the micro-ministers, it's actually the Khan King's destiny, and what the we-ministers do is just to respond to the mandate of heaven and the hearts of the people."

Fan Wencheng seemed to see the hesitation in Huang Taiji's heart, and he said a little anxiously: "King Khan, don't hesitate, there is no way out!" Kill Mobei Mongolia, fight a chance, don't Bo, wait for the Ming Dynasty to clean up Mobei Mongolia, and when they turn back, Dajin can only be strangled by the Ming Kingdom a little bit, and finally wiped out! ”

Huang Taiji sighed and said, "Ben Khan has never hesitated. It's just that Daikin is in a lot of difficulties now, and its strength is slightly inferior to before, so if it helps the strong to destroy the weak, can it really succeed? ”

"King Khan, no matter how bad the decision is at this time, it is better than no decision at all.

Huang Taiji took a breath and said: "Ben Khan has decided, swear to go on the expedition!" ”

With the trade between Ning Navy and Jiannu, the short-term peace also gave birth to a group of interest groups of Jiannu, when Huang Taiji had just gathered the people of various departments, and he had not even made up his mind to send troops, this news had already been placed on Sun Zhili's desk.

Sun Zhilan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank God, this difficulty can finally be overcome!" ”

Sun Chengzong's eyes became deep: "Jiannu's death is alive!" ”

With Sun Chengzong's strategic vision, it can be seen at a glance that Huang Taiji is willing to temporarily unite with Cheng Shijie to kill Mobei Mongolia, which is a subtle move. Taking advantage of the natural disaster to swallow up Mobei Mongolia, Jiannu's losses in the Battle of Baliwan can basically be made up, especially Huang Taiji this time, he will definitely focus on capturing the teenagers and children of Mobei Mongolia, and raise them for a few years, they will no longer be Mongols, but Jiannu.

With the huge territory of Mobei, the Ming Dynasty completely lost the opportunity to eliminate Jiannu. Even Emperor Taizu Hongwu and Emperor Yongle made more than a dozen northern expeditions, but they did not destroy the Mongols.

How strong was the Ming Dynasty at that time? But it's definitely not comparable to the current Ming Dynasty.

Sun Zhili said: "I believe that the handsome will have a way!" ”

Sun Chengzong smiled faintly: "I really don't know where your confidence comes from?" ”

Sun Zhili recalled Cheng Shijie's gaze staring at the fire ox cart, Cheng Shijie said that the real reason for the news of the cavalry was not actually firearms, although machine guns and automatic firearms could effectively kill and injure cavalry.

But the problem is that the cavalry has an absolute advantage in speed, if you are equipped with firearms, other cavalry can also be equipped, even after the founding of the People's Republic of China, our army maintained 19 cavalry divisions, a total of more than 200,000 cavalry.

The cavalry can use war horses to carry machine guns, light artillery and ammunition for long-distance mobility, or have an absolute advantage, just like the current Ninghai cavalry, cavalry charge combat is very rare, but use the cavalry's mobility advantage, use artillery and muskets to kill and injure the enemy.

The real reason for the disappearance of the cavalry was the railway, the developed railway network, which made the cavalry's mobility advantage no longer exist, so that the high cost of feeding the cavalry forced the cavalry units, which had existed for thousands of years of war and had always played the main role, to disappear into the long river of history.

Now Ning Haijun has begun to explore the manufacture of steam engine trains, the first railway of the Ning Navy began to be built under the auspices of Guo Xin, in the engineering college of Gaizhou, this 6,800 meters long ring railway, has begun to take shape, although this kind of steam engine train, just a toy, some like the Thomas train of later generations, can carry 12 carriages, transport 30,000 pounds of heavy objects, at a speed of 12 kilometers per hour.

In the near future, this kind of railway carrying capacity will be larger and larger, the speed will be faster and faster, when the railway is repaired to Shenyang, Huang Taiji can only throw away Shenyang and escape, repair to Kulun, Huang Taiji can only escape.

Even a train in the steam age can carry the strength of a division and travel thousands of miles in a day and night, while war horses are far from being able to do this, especially the rugged mountain roads, but there is not much difficulty for the train.

Of course, when Cheng Shijie received the news that Huang Taiji had sent troops, Cheng Shijie had already completed the encirclement of tens of thousands of Mongol troops of the Tushetu Khan's army, including Gunbu, and the Tushetu Khan's army, including Gunbu, was surrounded by the Ning Navy in the middle of Jing'anbao and the Baihe defense line, within a range of about ten miles.

It can be said that the current Mongolian army of the Tushetu tribe is difficult to fly, and the mountains and rocks on both sides of them are rugged, and if it is summer, they can also use the way of climbing to cross the Yanshan Mountains, but the problem is that now it is covered with ice and snow, it is impossible to climb it at all.

In fact, in order to prevent the Mongol army from breaking through from both sides, the Ning Navy's Guards Reconnaissance Infantry defended above and used grenades to defend the mountainous area, which was definitely a sharp weapon.

Cheng Shijie wore a windbreaker, looked at the torches that stretched to the sky in the distance, and was silent. You don't have to look at him to guess that there must be a lot of Mongolian soldiers in the tent at this time, Ning Haijun has far more clothes than them, and the warmth effect is not known to be strong, and it is still a little unbearable cold in the wilderness, let alone the Mongolian soldiers in thin clothes.

Their shabby clothes can't even compare to a farmer in the Guannai, but it is such a group of guys who look similar to Hanako who have fought against the Ming Dynasty for more than two hundred years with their sabers and bows and arrows, squeezing the Ming back to the Guannai step by step, and even went to the Gyeonggi Heavy Land to scatter the wilderness several times!

It is not an exaggeration to say that they are a wolf clan, they are indeed as ferocious and tough as wolves!

Cheng Shijie said with a smile: "You are all strong warriors, but unfortunately, your time has passed." ”

Halfway up the waist, this is the tent of the Khan of Tushetu Khan, King Gunbu, and in the tent, the butter candles are burning slowly, and the wind that penetrates through the cracks in the tent pulls the candle flame long, and it may be extinguished at any time.

Gonbu sat stiffly on the bed, the wine glass in his hand filled with mellow and rich mare's milk wine, but he didn't drink a sip, just looked at the wine glass in a daze.

This wine glass is a goblet trafficked by a merchant traveler from the Liaodong region, the whole body is crystal clear, without a trace of impurities, through which you can see the tiniest residue of the wine.

Naturally, this kind of beautiful thing caused quite a stir in the grassland, and it took three horses for Gonbu to change it, and give it to his most beloved concubine for safekeeping, and always take it out on every grand festival to pour wine and show off, which always attracts countless envious eyes. When he is idle, he will also take it out to enjoy it, and the more he watches, the more he loves it, and the more he looks at it, the more he is amazed.

With his knowledge, he could not think of how such a beautiful thing could be made with all his imagination, and it seemed to him that only the gods could create such a beautiful thing!

The gods, the ancient people of Kannai, were also able to create such beautiful things. They are numerous, skilled craftsmen, soft and smooth silk, beautiful porcelain, magnificent palaces, solemn temples......

These things that they only marvel at are nothing to the Han people, and they are commonplace. Fertile land, developed agriculture, and hundreds of millions of people gave that people ample the conditions to create a magnificent and exquisite civilization, while the descendants of the immortal heavens could only eat sand. The only thing they can be proud of is their force.

They don't have such a strong creativity, and most of them don't even have enough to eat, but they can rely on bows and sabers to grab everything they lack! The ancient people were as delicate and beautiful as the beautiful thing in his hand, but they were extremely fragile and shattered at the slightest touch.

However, the terrible fighting of the past few days shattered his pitiful pride, and the wails of the dead and wounded soldiers that resounded through the night sky made him realize that the Mongols' bows and sabers had lost their former magic, and that they were as fragile as glass in front of the Ming army! And the Ming army has evolved from fragile porcelain to an indestructible hammer!

Now the Tushetu Khan has fallen into a desperate situation, and the Jing'an Fort to the north of them was conquered by the 3,000 cavalry of the Ning Navy before dawn, and these Mongol soldiers were quietly touched into the tent by the scout cavalry in their sleep, and at least four or five hundred men and horses were silently disposed of.

That's right, the reconnaissance unit is a unit formed by Cheng Shijie in accordance with the special forces of later generations, and it is mainly used for reconnaissance, sentinel, infiltration, and lurking in peacetime.

In this way, without firing an arrow or a shot, the scouts of the Annam Army of the Ning Navy broke into the city of Jing'anbao, and when the Mongol soldiers found out, it was too late, and the ability of these scouts to fight in close combat was much stronger than that of the Mongol soldiers, whether they fought alone or in formation.

It only took less than half an hour, Li Dingguo completely occupied Jing'an Fort, they immediately entered the Jing'an Fort into repair, if it is summer, it is very difficult to repair Jing'an Fort, after all, it takes time to build a castle, but in winter it is more convenient, the snow is paught, hot water is poured, and it freezes into an ice wall in an instant.

When the Mongol army tried to recapture Jing'anbao, they were bombarded with grenades, and in just a quarter of an hour, more than 400 Mongol troops trying to retake Jing'anbao were killed and wounded.

Even if they learn to deal with the Ming army on the Baihe defense line, they can't do it, because no matter how bad Jing'an Fort City is, it is also a castle, condescendingly, and they are called one by one with rifles.

After seven consecutive attacks and no results, the Mongol army gave up its plan to recapture Jing'anbao, but the problem is that Li Dingguo is a rather crazy person, after holding the city of Jing'anbao, he took advantage of the hind legs of the Mongolian army to lead more than 300 Ninghai naval reconnaissance cavalry to kill Jing'anbao.

Before nightfall, Gunbu held a meeting, and some of the red-eyed generals proposed to attack again tomorrow, but they were immediately drowned in saliva.

Thinking of the angry and unwilling eyes of those generals, Gunbu smiled bitterly. Why didn't he want to attack again, why didn't he want to step on the Baihe defense line, kill the Ning Navy, and avenge the warriors who died in the battle?

But this battle really can't be fought anymore, and it can't be won again...... They are blocked by Jing'an Fort in the north, and Ning Haijun is compressed step by step in the south, if the situation is broken, he doesn't bother to think about it, look at luck.

Gonbu raised his head and drank the wine from his glass. When alcohol is poured into the mouth, it brings indescribable bitterness. He shook his head and muttered, "Hate is not born at the time of Genghis Khan......"

Gonbu couldn't sleep, and so couldn't many people. More than 8,000 wounded soldiers lay in the barracks, starved of food and medicine, untreated, lying in tents wailing in pain, screaming so many that many could not sleep, and the screams seemed to foretell a terrible fate that terrified the hearts of all.

Insomnia Mongol soldiers hold scimitars in their hands, look at the full moon in the sky, and silently pray for their fate. The night was long, and the painful voices of many of the wounded soldiers gradually fell into silence, and then they were no longer heard.

This kind of thing is all too common, and every day for these two days, thousands of wounded people do not survive until the next day, and the first thing everyone does every morning is to clean up the bodies.

At this time, in the capital, cabinet bosses Wu Zongda and Wang Yingxiong couldn't sleep, and they couldn't sleep excitedly.

They just received the news that He Sui, the general of Yongxingbao under the command of Xie Zhiliang, the chief soldier of Taiyuan Town, accepted their wooing, He Sui is not like, Xie Zhiliang is stone in the pit is smelly and hard, and there is no way to win it over, but fortunately, his nephew Xie Kun is a gambler, and as soon as he uses small means, he will put Xie Kun in. In order to pay off gambling debts, Xie Kun resold military funds.

originally wanted to use Xie Kun to threaten Xie Zhiliang, but Xie Zhiliang directly beheaded Xie Kun with military law, and there was no way to do it now.

Xie Zhiliang, like Cheng Shijie, is also a Ming army official, his grandfather Xie Yingjun, served as the general secretary of Pingyuan County (military position) during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.

Xie Zhiliang has been smart since he was a child, with excellent intelligence, and he was influenced by the generals of the two generations. At the beginning, he was subordinate to Cai Yanzi, a famous general in his hometown, and was promoted to the general manager of Shizheng Battalion in Pingyuan County because of his meritorious service. In order to defend the royal family, he was transferred to the Chaozhou Zhelin garrison. Then in order to defend against the sea, the record is outstanding, through the Southern Jiangxi Army Gate Yuanji Xusheng Middle Battalion guerrilla, with the promotion of Shanxi Taiyuan Mansion General Army.

In history, Xie Zhiliang has been dying in battle with Emperor Longwu.

Of course, although Xie Zhiliang could not win over, he did win over his general He Sui, who was Xie Zhiliang's confidant, a native of Guangdong, and was deeply trusted by Xie Zhiliang.

He Sui came forward to open the way with money, and won over Xie Zhiliang's personal army commander, and broke out in Taiyuan City, Xie Zhiliang was not prepared to his henchmen would move, in a hurry, he was hit in the abdomen by He Sui with a handcuff, seriously injured and unconscious, Xie Zhiliang's son Xie Shangkui led the guards to rob the seriously injured Xie Zhiliang to snatch out, but Taiyuan City was lost.

Wu Zongda said excitedly: "The important town of Taiyuan is lost, and the trouble is serious, Cheng Shijie can't eat and walk around now!" ”

Wang Yingxiong groaned: "I'm afraid that the Son of Heaven is still protecting that martial artist!" ”

Wu Zongda sneered with a sneer on his face: "If I wait for the impeachment of the officials, the old man will not believe it, and the Son of Heaven will ignore the advice of hundreds of officials for the sake of a minister!" ”
