Chapter 163
Xinghe City is still a mountainous area of 100 miles away from Zhangjiakou. In Huang Taiji's view, the Ming army in Zhangjiakou may not know what happened in the Zhangbei grassland. Therefore, the Ming people may not know the news that the Eight Banners soldiers arrived here at all.
So he gave himself an opportunity to take advantage of.
Huang Taiji had learned from the captive Chahar population that the Ming army had given Zhangjiakou trade rights to Lin Danhan. The last Chahar and Zhangjiakou trade did not last long, and there was still some time before the next opening of the horse market.
So Huang Taiji cannot pretend to be the Chahar tribe now, so he can only pretend to be the Kalqin people who were driven away. As for whether the Ming people in Zhangjiakou believe it? Will he be willing to trade with him?
"Tell them that if they refuse, our Kalaqin tribe will break through the wall and get it by themselves!" Huang Taiji sneered.
In Huang Taiji's view, most Ming generals were extremely cowardly and must be afraid of being held accountable by the Mongolians after breaking through the border wall. As long as they threaten, they would likely submit. Besides, if they trade in the Horse Market, they could take the opportunity to make money.
How could the generals of the Ming army of Xuanfu not agree to the best of both worlds?
As for Dorgon's suggestion to rob Zhangjiakou, Huang Taiji was a little moved, but he still forced himself to hold it back. Because he only has a few thousand people now, even if he can break through the border wall, he cannot go too far. Moreover, Xinghe City was captured.
The news will soon reach Guihua City. After Lin Danhan finds out, he will definitely lead the Mongolian army to attack.
There were Mongolians outside and Ming troops inside, even if they were as proud as Huang Taiji, they would not dare to act rashly.
"This time we just look at the reality of Lin Danhan and the Ming people, and then replace the looted things with the urgently needed salt and tea, so that they should not cause any trouble." Huang Taiji said. Even if he wanted to attack the Ming Dynasty, it would not be the case now.
......
Huang Taiji personally led the 3,000 Eight Banners cavalry to approach Zhangjiakou and stationed several miles away from the city wall.
"Ajiga, you speak well in Mongolian. Go and negotiate with the Ming people!" Huang Taiji ordered.
Ajiga is the Niulu, Zhenghuang Banner. He can speak Mongolian and Chinese, so it is appropriate for him to negotiate with Ming people.
Ajiga changed into a Mongolian costume, brought dozens of cavalry outside the side wall door, and shouted loudly at the above in Mongolian language.
"Send a letter to the Governor quickly!"
The Kalaqin tribe actually returned to Zhangjiakou and demanded the reopening of bilateral trade. The Zhangjiakou general was shocked and did not dare to dedicate himself. He hurriedly ordered.
When Xuanhua City, Hong Chengchou was stunned when he learned that Kalaqin's tribe had returned to Zhangjiakou.
"How is it possible? The Kalaqin tribe has been destroyed by me personally, and Kalaqin Khan was killed by Lin Dankhan. Can it be rekindled?" Hong Chengchou said suspiciously.
"Maybe the Urianha people have come here, and Urianha is also considered a Kalaqin tribe." Aide Yuweijian guessed.
Hong Chengchou shook his head: "It is unlikely that the thirty-six tribes of Urianha are like scattered sand. How could they defeat the Chahar tribe? How dare they become enemies with Lin Dankhan? This is extremely strange!"
"What should I do?" Yuviphan asked.
"Tell the Zhangjiakou generals to try to delay first, and I will go over and take a look immediately. By the way, I will send someone to notify Huang Degong and ask him to take someone to Zhangjiakou too." Hong Chengchou ordered.
Hong Chengchou only took a few personal soldiers and headed towards Zhangjiakou. He wanted to figure out what was going on. Xuanhua City was sixty miles away from Zhangjiakou, and it arrived in less than half a day after a quick horse.
The Jiannu cavalry is several miles away from the Zhangjiakou city wall, and I can't see the details clearly. I only see the shadows in the mountains and fields, and there are countless cavalry. As for the cavalry's clothing, I can't tell at all, and I can't tell where the people are.
.
Near the city wall, there are dozens of cavalry dressed in Mongolians, who look particularly arrogant.
"Call them and ask them to send someone to negotiate." After thinking for a while, Hong Chengchou ordered.
"Khan, the Ming Dynasty guards asked us to send people to Zhangjiakou for negotiations." Ajiga came back and reported.
"Ajiga, go, be more aggressive. Tell the Ming generals that if they refuse to open up the trade in the Horse and Market, our army will immediately break through the border wall!" Huang Taiji ordered in a deep voice.
Mingren’s request is normal, and many things are indeed not suitable to be shouted out in front of the city and the city, and Huang Taiji didn’t think much about it.
"Yes, Khan." Ajiga said excitedly. He did not feel any danger at all, but felt that the opportunity to make meritorious service and receive rewards was coming.
The Ming army hung a bamboo basket from the side wall, and Ajiga sat in it and was pulled up to the city wall, and then was taken to a barracks in the castle. He saw a Ming Dynasty official wearing a red official robe looking at him with bright eyes.
Hold on to yourself.
"Are you the leader of the Ming Kingdom here?" Ajiga asked upright.
"Bold, this is Governor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty, and it's not a polite!" someone shouted loudly.
Ajiga curled his lips and bowed his hand casually, saying in Mongolian: "Ajiga, the envoy of Kalaqin tribe, has met the governor of the Ming Dynasty. When will the horse market trade be opened?"
After the translation, Hong Chengchou smiled: "Open the horse market, what horse market is opened, and who to open the horse market?"
Ajiga's eyes widened: "Of course it's with us. Our Kalaqin tribe has driven away Chahar. This right of trade belongs to us! If you Ming people don't open the horse market, we Khan said,
We will send troops to attack Zhangjiakou immediately!"
Hong Chengchou shook his head, unwilling to talk nonsense: "Take it down first and let him tell who they are."
Kalaqin tribe? Hong Chengchou sneered. Kalaqin Khan was beaten to death by himself when he was alive. What’s the fear of resurrecting him?
If it weren't for trying to figure out what was going on on the grassland, Hong Chengchou wouldn't have come at all. With the solidity of the walls on Zhangjiakou, even tens of thousands of Tartars would not be afraid!
Two Jinyiwei came out, dragged Ajiga and walked out.
While struggling, Ajiga shouted loudly in Mongolian language: "Damn Ming people, if you dare to touch me, the Khan will immediately send troops to attack the city, and after breaking through Zhangjiakou, there will be no one left behind!"
The whip sounded, and the screams were endless. Soon, the screams disappeared and turned into screams and begged for mercy. Under the eighteen punishments of the Jinyiwei, the iron rod could also become a soft finger, and no one could handle it.
live.
"The commander-in-chief, I have already asked clearly. It is not the Kalaqin tribe at all. The one who came was Jiannu, and the one who was headed was the slave chief Huang Taiji!" The Jinyiwei who interrogated hurriedly came to report.
"Hong Taiji actually came to the grassland outside Xuanfu?" Hong Chengchou frowned and felt that things were a little serious.
Jiannu has always been active in Liaodong and Liaoxi outside the pass, and has never been deep here. Could it be that Huang Taiji wants to continue attacking Lin Danhan and want to control the entire Mongolian grassland?
If Lin Danhan is defeated by Jiannu again and the Yinshan Mountains are controlled by Jiannu, the situation will be very troublesome. Jiannu is very likely to give up western Liaoning and choose to attack from the north to the Ming Dynasty.
From Datong to Xuanfu, from Xuanfu to Jibei, there are so many places that can be broken through thousands of miles of border walls, and it is simply unpredictable.
"How many soldiers did Huang Taiji bring?" Hong Chengchou asked with a frown.
"It was said to be 20,000 cavalry, but after capturing the thirty-six tribes of Urya, most of the Eight Banners soldiers took the prisoners back to Chenyang, and there were only more than 3,000 cavalry left by Huang Taiji."
Hong Chengchou suddenly felt relieved. Three thousand cavalrymen could not do anything to Xuanfu!
"Sir, this is an excellent opportunity!" Yuweifan suddenly said excitedly.
Hong Chengchou's mind moved and nodded slowly. It was indeed a very good opportunity. If he could lure Huang Taiji into Zhangjiakou...
"But if we arrest the envoy sent by Jiannu, Huang Taiji must have noticed it." Hong Chengchou frowned, regretting that he should not torture the envoy, but should try to make a cliché.
Yu Weijian smiled: "Sir, there is Jiang Gan stealing books in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Can we follow the example?"
