As soon as it got light the next day, Tumut scouts discovered that there were five more pontoon bridges on the Dahei River.
Because yesterday, a large number of crossbowmen were deployed on those damn arrow towers. These crossbows with terrifying bow power have a long range and are very accurate. Do the Tumut people have too much iron armor? Two hundred meters by the river became
The place of death.
Anyone who dared to enter within two hundred meters of the river would be shot into a hedgehog, including people and horses.
The Mongols simply retreated and watched from a distance. All night long, they could hear the sound of clanging and clanging from above. They didn't know what these Han people were doing.
They also considered whether they were building a bridge. However, they quickly rejected this possibility. Because this place is a savanna with scarce wood, what would the Han people use to build a bridge?
The Mongols didn't believe that these Ming troops had traveled thousands of miles to carry wooden planks for bridge repair. This was simply something that even an idiot would not do. For such a long-distance army expedition, it was difficult to purchase food on behalf of others, and they would still carry the planks.
A bridge comes here. Unless the generals of the Ming army are crazy.
This floating bridge is assembled with gasoline barrels, steel plates, and I-beams. There are many gasoline barrels, and the gasoline used in Yang Fan's incendiary bombs is filled with modern gasoline barrels. These gasoline barrels are made of iron wire, I-beam steel, and steel springboards.
You can build a pontoon bridge just by tying it up.
Yang Fan's engineers must have the ability to build bridges. There are not many bridges on rivers in this era. The one like the Marco Polo Bridge is very rare. Almost all rivers must be ferried. If there is no boat, you will be dumbfounded. Although there are also pontoon bridges in this era.
Technology, however, is still subject to many conditions, for example, there must be a large number of forests nearby to facilitate felling of wood, etc.
The river was very narrow, and it took two hours to set up. Then, five regiments of infantry drove across the river and established a camp on the north bank.
At dawn, the Mongolians were shocked to discover that not only were five bridges erected across the river, but there were also five forts on the north bank of the river. These forts were made of double-layer scaffolding with tiled steel plates and iron wires.
.There is also an arrow tower standing inside the wall.
At this time, Dasa Huangtaiji and the other twelve Taijis were very anxious. After the defeat of Duolun, they discovered that the current Ming Dynasty was not the previous Ming Dynasty. Their military strength was no longer what it used to be.
The last time they faced Yang Fan, they suffered a complete defeat. This time they faced the Jingying, the most elite force of the Ming Dynasty. They had no confidence in their hearts.
After Dayan Khan unified Mongolia, he divided Mongolia into the left and right wings, each with three ten thousand households. Among them, the three ten thousand households in Monan were: Ordos, Yongxiebu and Mengoljin (Ming Dynasty Han Dynasty called Manguan Ai).
Yongxie Buwanhu was later defeated by King Shunyi and fled to Qinghai. They are now part of the Qinghai Mongols.
Mengoljin Wanhu was located in the north, east and west of Datong in the Ming Dynasty. It was originally owned by Arsuborot, the fourth son of Dayan Khan.
Later, Altan Khan, the second son of Alsuborot Jinong, was so powerful that he annexed most of the Mengoljin Ten Thousand Households. Only the Doro tribe was controlled by Alsuborot's son Buzegil (1st).
It is written that not only Ji'er) was owned by Taiji, but the rest of the tribes were owned by Altan Khan and his brother Rabuk Taiji.
Therefore, the name of Mengoljin Ten Thousand Houses was gradually replaced by the name of the Tumed tribe led by Altan Khan, which was called Tumed Ten Thousand Houses. Altan Khan was the king of Shunyi, and his Ketun was
The famous Sanniangzi. Their couple built this Hohhot city, which was called Guihua City in the Ming Dynasty. Later, it was expanded on three sides in the Qing Dynasty to become Suiyuan City. Suiyuan City and Guihua City formed Guisui City, which was the center of the Qing Dynasty's rule over Monan.
The Tumut were divided into twelve tribes by King Shunyi. The thousands of Tumut households commanded by Altan Khan were located "outside Datong, at the foot of Daqing Mountain, north of Zhaojun's Tomb, and Fengzhoutan Grassland." This is also
It was the hometown of Yunzhong County during the Han Dynasty.
This land covers a large area, stretching from the Yellow River to the Ordos Ten Thousand Households in the west, and to the area outside Ximalin in Xuanfu in the east. Mongolian documents and Chinese historical materials both record that the Tumote Ten Thousand Households are divided into twelve tribes, or twelve Ordos.
Trafigura.
After the death of King Shunyi, Huang Taiji, the uncle of King Shunyi, was appointed as the new leader. However, his position was unstable. Although he had more prestige, he lacked strength. He did not dare to ascend the throne as the new King of Shunyi, and obviously the Ming Dynasty did not
He will be canonized.
Even being called a farmer is a bit reluctant. Therefore, at present, we can only temporarily take the leadership position in times of crisis without title.
Dasha Huangtaiji said: "The capital camp of the Ming Dynasty has arrived on the other side, and they repaired the pontoon bridge last night. This time, the master of Nairen Bat'er, Uncle Dingyuan of the Ming Dynasty, and the general Yang Fan who conquered the west came. The deputy general is a distinguished member of the northern Ming Dynasty.
The leader is the eldest grandson of the British Duke. The army he brought is the Beijing camp of the Ming Emperor. Let’s talk about it together. Let’s fight or not.”
Now, the Ming army has arrived at Guihua City, and the life and death of the Mongolian Tumut tribe has reached its final moment. They have seen with their own eyes the process of Haraqin and Duoyan being completely wiped out. From now on, there will only be Mongolian herdsmen, not these.
tribe.
Of course, as a nation, the Mongols will continue to multiply. Even the vast majority of slaves and herdsmen who are ruled and exploited will live better. However, the nobility and ruling class will disappear.
As the Mongols developed, they relied on blood to rule the lower class people layer by layer. After hundreds of years, they evolved into an overwhelming number of tribes. If they failed, they would lose their power and status forever. Look at those who were
Taiji, who was assigned to the island to dig up bird droppings, saw how miserable the herdsmen were, and they trembled with fear.
If the Ming Emperor gave them a road, granted them a title, and kept their pastureland and slaves, they would be willing to surrender. Unfortunately, this time the emperor seemed to want to ignore them and handed them over directly to Uncle Dingyuan. Then there was no need for negotiation.
Yes, the only option is to fight.
Xin Ai Huangtai Ji scolded angrily: "What nonsense, Uncle Dingyuan made all the nobles in Haraqin dig bird droppings. The people who manage them are actually their slaves. This kind of life is simply disrespecting our blood.
.As long as you are still a man, no one can bear it. If we fight with them, let them see that our scimitars are not vegetarian."
Leaders such as Naitaiji, Maoming Antaiji, Hangjin Taiji and others all agreed.
Maoming Antaiji said: "Since everyone has this intention, let's fight. Originally, it would be most suitable to wait until reinforcements from various brothers arrive to start the war, but now that the Ming army wants to fight, we have no choice but to fight."
Wu Ya'er Huntaiji said: "Brothers of Tumut, a man cannot leave without a head, and a bird cannot fly without a head. When the Tumut tribe is in danger of life and death, it must have a leader. As an outsider, I suggest you
Nominate a leader."
Da Sa Huang Tai Ji secretly glanced at Wu Ya'er Huntai Ji gratefully. It seems that the gift of his little daughter last night was not in vain. No, there was immediate reward.
