Tumen Khan failed to understand Burihatu's statement. What does it mean that "naturalization is just the naturalization of Tumote, while Zhongdu is the Zhongdu of Yuan Dynasty"? And what does this have to do with Gao Pragmatic's ambition?
What about relationships?
Fortunately, Burihatu seemed to see Tumen Khan's confusion, so he continued to explain: "To naturalize and canonize the king of Shunyi, at most, it only recognizes Chechen Khan's status in Tumote, and it is also acknowledging his influence on the right wing.
The actual control of Mongolia, but if it is in Zhongdu, then it has a more profound purpose."
He paused and said: "Zhongdu is one of the four capitals of the Yuan Dynasty. Except for the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and the Great Khan of all Mongolia, how can the other khans of the other tribes be canonized there? Gao Pragmatic deliberately did the opposite.
Doesn't the real far-reaching purpose of this move imply that Chechen Khan should rule the entire Mongolia in the future? Is the Great Khan still indifferent to such a move?"
What! He actually wants to support Tumed Chechen Khan as the Great Khan of all Mongolia?
Tumen Khan suddenly became furious: "How dare you bully me, little kid with a yellow mouth!"
Burihatu remained silent, while the furious Tumen Khan walked around in the tent like a trapped animal.
After a while, Tumen Khan suddenly stopped, turned to Burihatu and said: "Burhatu Taiji, do you still think that we should win the big game first to win the city?"
Burihatu hesitated and said: "I...I am still a little hesitant."
"There is nothing to hesitate about!" Tumen Khan said loudly: "The people of Ming Dynasty do not take Ben Khan seriously. If they don't give them a lesson, where is the majesty of Ben Khan? According to Ben Khan's idea, we should now
Send troops directly to Shacheng, capture Gao Pragmatic and cut him into pieces! If not, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
Burihatu was not frightened by Tumen Khan's rage, but said with a troubled face: "But Shacheng is too close to Zhangjiakou. If the Khan's troops invade Shacheng, what if the Ming army goes out?"
Tumen Khan laughed angrily: "The Ming army is leaving the fortress? Ha, I wish they were leaving the fortress! On the grassland, will I be afraid of the Ming army? How can these Han people fight when they don't have a strong city to rely on!"
Burihatu was still hesitant and reminded: "But we have analyzed it before. There is a high possibility that Han Naji's escape to the south is to lure us south to set up an ambush. If he cooperates with the Ming army...
"
Tumen Khan said loudly: "If I don't know about setting up an ambush, then it's called setting up an ambush. I already know it, so what kind of ambush can he set up? Besides, this grassland can be seen for hundreds of miles. No matter how they set up an ambush, they can still lay it down."
Could it be that Ben Khan’s 60,000-strong army was surrounded?”
Uh, this seems to make sense?
Burihatu thought for a while, and actually agreed with this statement. He nodded slowly and said: "That's the same reason..."
Tumen Khan immediately waved his hand: "Okay, don't think too much about this matter. It is indeed important to win the big board to rise to the city, but before taking the big board to rise to the city, I must first go and meet with this Ming Ming."
The plenipotentiary envoy of human beings, look at how much this champion he is, how much he weighs, and yet he is so audacious!"
If future generations were to describe Tumen Khan's current mentality, it would probably be, "If I don't beat you until your face blooms, you won't know why the flowers are so red!"
Burihatu also felt the anger from the heart of the Tumen Great Khan, and now that the Great Khan had spoken, he could no longer persuade him - do you look down on the elite combat effectiveness of our Chahar tribe?
Therefore, Burihatu had no choice but to do the next best thing and reluctantly said: "In this case, I also ask the Great Khan to send more scouting horses when he goes south. The location and troop deployment of Hannaji's troops must be ascertained in advance. Never give it to him.
They took the back road..."
"Ben Khan knows how to fight!" Tumen Khan's temper was rising at this time, and any doubt about his strength was like a spark thrown into the frying pan.
Burihatu had no choice but to shut up.
There was no point in talking any more. Burihatu sighed in his heart and stood up to leave. Tumen was furious and waved his hand to let him leave.
At the same time, Gao Pangshi, who was in Shacheng, had just returned from inspecting the city defenses and was talking to Cao Gan, Ma Gui and others.
"I demonstrated the method of building a city with cement in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor ten years ago. It seems that there has been some progress in the past ten years. Although a lot of cement was wasted in reinforcing the city defense this time, the
Over the past few days, Shacheng has finally ceased to look like the dilapidated ruins it once was." [For details, please see Volume 2 of this book "Guan Jinghua", Chapter 101 "Beijing Infrastructure". 】
Ma Gui praised: "We have used the cement city building method at the border for ten years and reinforced at least thousands of miles of city walls. The effect has always been very good. It is much better than using glutinous rice to ram earth. It is cheap and strong. Today
The actual measurement also confirmed this. Although Shacheng is dilapidated, after the city wall is reinforced with cement, it is absolutely impossible to be attacked from the front unless it is bombarded by hundreds of general cannons."
Hundreds of general cannons are bombarding each other in turn. This is obviously an exaggeration, but since the opponent is the Mongolian Chahar tribe, it doesn't matter, because they cannot have hundreds of general cannons. Don't talk about them, forget it
With the Ming army's level of firearms development, it would not be easy to gather hundreds of general cannons.
Gao pragmatically smiled and said nothing.
He is now a "Shangguan", and it doesn't matter if the people below him praise him, but he himself cannot get carried away.
So instead he turned to praise Cao Gan and said, "I am very satisfied with the performance of Jinghua Trading Company this time. It is not easy to mobilize so many materials from Zhangjiakou and arrange the construction. Thank you for your hard work."
Cao Gan felt warm in his heart, but his tone was very humble: "Thank you for your praise, sir. In fact, this is all thanks to my arrangement in advance, especially the choice of Shacheng as the main battlefield. It was a stroke of genius. Although the old Yuanzhongdu was burned down, these
Finally, most of the city wall has been preserved, and the master has gathered so many troops here to help with the construction..."
Gao pragmatic smiled, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, you all have made great contributions this time. Cao Gan is our internal affairs in Jinghua, but there are performance-based rewards... Ma Zongrong, my envoy will report your merits when the time comes.
Tell the emperor personally."
Both of them smiled and thanked me.
Ma Gui added: "Now let's see if the Tu people will fall into the trap."
Cao Gan said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. My master is clever and clever. How can Tumen's little tricks escape my master's calculations? This time he will definitely go south to Shacheng and get bloody...
Otherwise, let him let Han Naji accept the canonization in the old Yuan Dynasty, how can he, the Mongol Khan, do it safely?"
Ma Gui said hurriedly: "It goes without saying that Gao Shizhong's miraculous calculations are brilliant. I'm just afraid that Tumen will be stupid. Don't understand the meaning of conferring a title on Han Naji in Zhongdu. That would be... a little embarrassing."
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Tumen is not stupid. If he was stupid, he would not have chosen to continue the Western Expedition after Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang sent troops. Since he can choose to continue the Western Expedition regardless of the rear, it shows that he knows Tumut well.
It is important to Mongolia. In other words, he can be regarded as a far-sighted person. Such a person will not fail to see the inherent meaning of this matter."
"That's it..." Ma Gui then understood and said sincerely: "Your Majesty is really knowledgeable about Mongolia. As long as we really win the battle of Shacheng this time, the Mongols will be suffocated for ten years at worst.
"
Gao pragmatically smiled and said nothing.
Ten years of being out of breath?
Ma Gui's strategic thinking is still a bit lacking, and his vision is still too limited.
The Battle of Shacheng is important, but it is only a component of the entire Monan strategy. In fact, once the entire Monan strategy is fully successful, the Mongols will be like a noose around their necks, and Ming Dynasty will let him die whenever he wants.
, just kick the stool off his feet.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic felt that there was no need to be too anxious about kicking off the stool. What he wanted was a Mongolia with basically complete strength, not a Mongolia that had been beaten into a mess and whose strength was greatly damaged. Therefore, after this victory, through other
It would be enough to make Tumen have to bow to reality, but there is no need to kill him - killing a Mongol Khan, in addition to earning a great contribution for his high pragmatism, can only bring hatred to the Ming Dynasty. This pair
There will be no benefit in ruling Mongolia in the future.
great merit?
Gao pragmatically curled his lips and thought a little reservedly in his heart: What's so difficult about me, Gao, who wants great merit? But what I want is not temporary merit, but eternal merit.
