He personally led the troops, chased and killed the enemy for hundreds of miles, and captured the enemy Khan.
For a general, this is a feat comparable to that of a champion, let alone an emperor.
There is no doubt about Zhu Di's ability to lead troops to fight.
At this moment, it reached a peak.
The common people of Ming Dynasty will give a thumbs up when mentioning His Majesty the Emperor, fierce, really fierce!
After Zhu Gaochi informed Zhu Yuanzhang, he immediately ordered the whole country to celebrate together, and sent someone to deliver an official document to congratulate his father on the great victory, and then asked how to reward the meritorious ministers, and what else needed help...
The messenger rushed to deliver the news.
When the official document arrived in Peiping, Zhu Di slowly returned with his troops.
Along the way, Zhu Di was summarizing experiences with Xu Huizu to see how this battle was fought and why it went so smoothly.
That's right, even Zhu Di himself was a little confused.
The victory came too suddenly, which is a bit unacceptable...
"Your Majesty, the key to this battle is the supply of food and military supplies. Only by having enough food and drink can we be invincible."
Although he was embarrassed to give credit to his eldest nephew, Xu Huizu had to tell the truth.
Xu Jingchang sent millions of stones of military rations, and the closest distance to the Mongolian headquarters was only 180 miles!
After learning the details, Xu Huizu was dumbfounded.
Because according to normal experience, grain is transported by water to Peiping, and then attacked on the grassland, which is at least a thousand miles of transportation.
Moreover, it has to pass through the Mongolian area and may be attacked at any time along the way.
There are also countless scouts. Once they discover the Ming army's movements, they will flee.
Anyway, if you can't fight, you can't run?
You have mobilized the people here and spent countless livestock, cattle and horses, but you can't get up quickly.
I had so much energy that my eyes were on fire, but I couldn't find a target to vent my anger on.
In history, Zhu Di conquered Mongolia five times. According to the historical records of the Ming Dynasty, it was called "five outs and three plows", which means that he attacked Mongolia five times, and only three times achieved outstanding results.
This is still officially recognized. As for the actual situation, it is a bit hard to say.
But this time, Xu Jingchang delivered the food and grass directly under his nose.
Omitting the most critical step, the Ming army attacked decisively, and the Tatar headquarters had no time to pack up and escape. Cheng Guogong Zhu Neng sent his army to attack, which was not much more difficult than chopping melons and vegetables.
It would be really difficult for the Ming army at its peak, in its peak state, to sneak attack the unprepared Mongols.
In the battle at Feiyun Mountain, Zhu Neng killed more than 7,000 people, captured nearly 50,000 people, and seized more than 100,000 livestock and horses.
With the availability of these livestock, the Ming army's mobility has been greatly improved.
Then they pursued decisively and were hit head-on by Wala.
Zhu Di led the central army, with Zhu Neng on the left and Xu Huizu on the right. They came out in three directions and severely damaged Oala. When Oala escaped, Zhu Di asked Zhu Neng to stay behind while he and Xu Huizu pursued.
But at this time, the Ming army came up with its second groundbreaking thing.
Dried meat!
That's right, Qi King Zhu Shu and his companions kept selling cured meat to the south. It was a pity that such good stuff was not used in the army.
Therefore, not long after Zhu Di arrived in Peiping, he began to explore the issue of military rations.
As we all know, Genghis Khan relied on dried meat to conquer Eurasia.
Now that Ming Dynasty also has the conditions, it is impossible not to follow suit.
Zhu Di ordered Xu Huizu to supervise the operation, and asked two brothers, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, to pay for the expenses.
The army pursued them to the Tula River. Zhu Di intended to retreat, but when he heard about Benya's disappearance, he immediately ordered all the troops together with Xu Huizu and pursued them with enough dried meat for five days.
A successful battle!
War is all about logistics, and this sentence is reflected in everything.
"There is another point that your Majesty cannot ignore, and that is information and guides!" Xu Huizu said: "It is impossible to be able to roam the desert and be invincible, but not to be able to see and hear clearly."
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Yes, holding this riding and archery conference this time actually gave us the opportunity to understand the various tribes in the grassland. It encouraged trade and allowed our caravans to go deep into the grassland. Without them to lead the way, how could we seize Benya's loss?
?”
Xu Huizu nodded repeatedly and mentioned one more thing, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the three thousand Mongolian cavalry?"
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Why don't you remember? It wasn't Xu Jingchang who asked you to prepare it?"
Xu Huizu nodded, "That's true. It's really impossible to live in the grasslands without locals."
…
The more the monarch and his ministers chatted, the more excited they became, but suddenly, Zhu Di frowned and couldn't help but feel angry, "Humph, we have worked hard this time, why do I feel that everything has been arranged by Xu Jingchang in advance? The two of us are just giving
He fought a battle!"
Xu Huizu was stunned for a long time and was speechless for a long time, only smiling bitterly.
If you must say so, it’s not impossible.
I can only sigh, Xu Jingchang is truly a genius.
Everything he prepared went straight to the soul and hit the mark.
However, Xu Huizu pondered for a moment and said with concern: "Your Majesty, it can be used this time. I'm afraid the Mongolians will be wary next time. It will not be easy to repeat the same trick. There are still scattered Mongolia in Monan right now."
The tribes and the three guards of Duoyan have not been completely dealt with yet. Although Wala suffered heavy losses, but without the Tatar opponent, the grasslands will be unified, and many tribesmen will inevitably join them. What to do next, we will have to worry about it. "
After the fall of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian tribes were divided into two parts: the Tatars in the east, occupying the southern part of the desert, and the Oara in the west, occupying the western desert and the northern part of the desert.
In Zhu Di's life, he never completely eliminated the Oara people. A few years later, the Oara people even invited the Ming Emperor to become an overseas student and had in-depth and friendly exchanges.
Before and after Tumubao, the Ming Dynasty was almost completely different.
Zhu Di frowned, "Wala is further away from us and more cunning and powerful. It will be quite difficult to deal with them."
After being silent for a long time, Zhu Di suddenly said: "Stop thinking about it and ask that brat!"
Xu Huizu was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and nodded, "Your Majesty, do you think it would be more convenient for me to ask you to write a letter home?"
Zhu Di nodded, "Okay, I'm too lazy to talk to him."
Xu Huizu also couldn't laugh or cry. Why is His Majesty the Emperor, who has just won a great victory, a little jealous?
A letter from home was delivered to Yingtian, and Zhu Gaochi was also here. He grabbed it and took a look, and immediately frowned.
"Uncle said that now the Tatars have been defeated miserably, and our Ming Dynasty is showing off its might in the desert. He is just worried that Oara will become bigger in the future and will be difficult to deal with. What can you do?"
Xu Jingchang smiled lightly, "Isn't this very simple? If you are afraid that Wala will become bigger, then just keep Tatar!"
Zhu Gaochi didn't understand for a moment, "You, what do you mean? The battle is over, and Benya Shili Khan has been captured. What are you going to do? Retreat before the war starts?"
Xu Jingchang laughed loudly, "Your Highness, the grassland is so big that it can accommodate several Khan kings."
Zhu Gaochi is still confused. I probably need to recharge my IQ.
Xu Jingchang smiled lightly and said: "To deal with the grasslands, we need to divide and conquer them, so that they can restrain each other, but not too much, so as not to break into pieces and become impossible to clean up. The so-called wisdom of application lies in one mind. Your Highness, so be it, I will leave it to you
It’s a homework problem, think about it, what should you do?”
Zhu Gaochi glared, "Why? I'm the prince!"
"I am the Crown Prince and Grand Master! I am also the Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu! Are you not convinced?" Xu Jingchang asked with a smile.
Zhu Gaochi immediately became honest, "I'm convinced, I'm totally convinced!"
Back in the East Palace, Zhu Gaochi faced various reports, read them carefully, and racked his brains, what should he do?
How to dismantle the grassland forces, how to make them check and balance each other, and be willing to serve the Ming Dynasty... Zhu Gaochi thought over and over again and racked his brains.
I have to admit that there are some things that people can do easily and effortlessly, while other people have no talent and spend countless efforts, but they are still a mess with no clue...
Zhu Gaochi was not a genius, but he was not too stupid either. After staying up all night, he really got some ideas.
First of all, Guilichi was the original Khan King of the Tatars, but his bloodline was questionable and he was not from the Golden Family. He was overthrown by the people below and wanted to reset him!
He continued to be the Great Khan and commanded all the Tatar tribes.
In addition, Benya was captured. Although he was captured, he was recognized by the Tatar tribe and made him the grand master.
As for Arutai, he served as Taibao.
These three people restrain each other, which is enough to ensure the safety of Monan.
Zhu Gaochi excitedly went to find Xu Jingchang.
"Your Highness's arrangement can only be regarded as passing, but it is definitely not safe."
Zhu Gaochi said helplessly: "How can I compare to my virtuous brother? If you have any clever tricks, please tell me quickly."
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Your Highness, in fact, as long as you make a few adjustments, it will be fine."
"what to do?"
"Since Gui Lichi is unpopular, forcing him to support him is also harming him. Tell him carefully and give him the three guards of Duoyan, let him proclaim himself in Daning, and be responsible for our trade in the future. Give him peace of mind
His position gave him the opportunity to make a fortune, so Ming Dynasty was extremely kind and righteous to him."
Zhu Gaochi nodded repeatedly, "This arrangement is sound and safe. What about Benya Shili Khan and Arutai? What should we do?"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "Let Benya Shili be the king of Khan. If he makes a mistake once, we must forgive him and give him a chance to change his ways."
Zhu Gaochi was startled, "Does that give him an advantage?"
Xu Jingchang smiled and said: "So we can make Arutai the Grand Master and give him the title of Protector of Lingbei."
"Lingbei Protector? I know Lingbei Province... Do you mean to let Alutai manage the entire desert?"
Xu Jingchang said: "Anyway, Ming Dynasty gave it to him. Whether he has the ability depends on his own efforts. But I think, with the title of Protector of Lingbei, he won't go to work as a dog for Wala, right?"
Zhu Gaochi and Xu Jingchang looked at each other, both showing fox-like smiles.
Plan passed.
They immediately wrote back to Peiping, and at this moment Zhu Di was drinking a celebratory wine.
Zhu Di's face turned red. He looked at Gui Lichi and said with a smile, "I heard that you are good at singing and dancing. Is this true?"
Gui Lichi was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "You can't help yourself when you are drunk and your ears are hot."
Zhu Di smiled and said: "How about my wine?"
"Okay, very good!" He praised quickly.
Zhu Di smiled and said: "Well, please dance a song for me!"
Gui Lichi was stunned for a moment.
Zhu Di seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "I personally pursued you for hundreds of miles for your sake. Isn't the feeling of restoring the country enough?"
No matter how stupid Gui Lichi was, he understood it and hurriedly said: "Enough, enough, I will jump now!"
