Zhu Qiyu watched the prince go away, glanced at Yu Qian next to him, and then looked up at the sky forty-five degrees with a proud expression, "Now I finally know how proud it is to have a son like Sun Zhongmou."
Whether Sun Zhongmou is good or not depends on history.
But when this poem was spoken by an old father, it was full of pride.
Yu Qian knew that Zhu Qiyu was showing off his son.
Ignore it.
I know, only your son can do it.
Chen Xun, Shang Ren, Hang Min and others couldn't help but laugh.
There are also some feelings.
Ever since Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne in the 14th year of Zhengtong and defeated the Walas, His Majesty and Yu Shaobao have never been so harmonious again, especially after the Ministry of War took over the military power. From that day on, no one expected that this pair of monarchs and ministers would still work together in such harmony.
Zhu Qiyu bent down and patted Wang Wen on the shoulder, "Old Minister, please wait for that day."
Wang Wen looked peaceful and looked into the distance.
Close your eyes slowly.
He is already old and can't wait any longer.
Wang Wen rode a crane to the west.
…
…
Zhu Jianji led the East Palace Young Army, crossed Hebei, entered Shaanxi, entered the Hetao area, passed through the important gateway Liangzhou, and headed westward to Hami quietly.
Although the entire cavalry was full, they still traveled for more than a month.
After all, the equipment is well-equipped and relatively heavy.
Feeling sorry for the war horse.
A young soldier, wearing light armor, equipped with a sword, a crossbow, twenty crossbow arrows, a Dongfeng rifle, plus fifty bullets, weighing more than twenty kilograms.
The burden on the war horse is not great.
Mainly to take care of the 1,000 people who transported Dongfeng mortars. All of these people were one person and three horses, pulling 200 Dongfeng mortars and 3,000 rounds of mortar shells.
The load is heavy and the horses need to be rotated to rest.
So the maximum is about a hundred miles a day.
Even so, nearly two hundred war horses died along the way from Gyeonggi to Hami, which is heartbreaking. It's all money.
However, when the prince goes on an expedition, he must not be vague about the logistical supplies.
The dead horses were replaced by the local guards.
At the same time, a large battalion of the regiment camp, with 30,000 civilians, was specially responsible for the logistical supplies of the 10,000 people of the young army, including food, ammunition, spare Dongfeng rifles and Dongfeng mortars.
Hamiwei Camp.
Zhu Jianji was sitting on the commander's seat, slowly drinking hot tea. It was autumn, and it was really cold in the northwest.
In the handsome tent, senior generals gathered together.
Hang Yu, the commander-in-chief of Hami, and Cheng Xin, the military commander.
The commanders of various guards in the Hami area.
Cheng Guogong, Zhu Yi, the commander-in-chief of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division, plus Wang Yue, the commander-in-chief of the Youjun Army, the commander-in-chief Tongzhi Zhao Er, Chen Qi, and the commander-in-chief Li Jiu.
They are all old men on the battlefield.
Even the military governor Cheng Xin is familiar with military affairs.
Zhu Jianji put down his tea and said to Hang Yu: "Commander Hang, please give us an overview of the situation."
Hang Yu clasped his fists and saluted, "Returning to Your Highness. There are not frequent wars in Hami at present. Although the Wala tribes are determined to survive this cold winter by entering the pass and looting, the Wala Zi also died first, and their power is extremely weak.
Come on, today’s Zhun Ge
The Erbu and Duerbot tribes have long lost their peak combat power in the orthodox years. In addition, the Ming Dynasty has heavily defended the troops. The Oara tribes have never been able to find the right time to launch an attack. Therefore, both sides are currently only fighting tentatively.
Several encounters.”
The governor Cheng Xin stood up and said: "Actually, I think it's not that the Oara tribes can't find the opportunity, but that they are waiting for the opportunity. At present, our Ming Dynasty has heavily deployed troops to defend, including the Oara tribes, Maoli children, and even the Jurchens who are wandering in Liaodong.
Li Manzhu is waiting for the opportunity."
Zhu Jianji nodded, "I know their intentions. My Ming Dynasty's attitude is clear. If they dare to attack, we will dare to attack them. Not only will we attack them, we will also beat them painfully. We may even counterattack, so they are also afraid."
Cheng Xindao: "That's right, so they are waiting for the weather to get colder. Before it snows, the Oara tribes and Maoli tribes will launch attacks at the same time. Hami, Hetao area, and Xuanfu will all face Mobei.
The iron cavalry attacked the pass, so our Ming frontier troops could not support each other. Once they entered the pass, looted and retreated, it happened to snow, and our Ming army was unable to pursue them."
This is the moment they have been waiting for.
Zhu Jianji smiled and said: "Zhang Peng and Wang Yue have already seen through this truth, so I came here this time to tell them through actions that they don't need to think about being beautiful if they are not beautiful to begin with."
We've already laid heavy troops on the territory, why should I, the Ming Dynasty, wait foolishly for you to attack?
Nothing!
If you don't attack, then I will attack!
What a coincidence.
Before, you were waiting for the weather to turn cold. Now it's my turn to take the initiative to attack. If you can't resist the volley of Dongfeng rifles from the Young Army, then I, Zhu Jianji, have disturbed you and can only leave first.
If you can't bear it, I will chase you and beat you.
We didn't retreat until the logistics couldn't keep up.
Do you want to chase?
It's snowing!
He said to Hang Yu: "Tell me about the distribution of troops among the Oara tribes."
The two sides have been stationed in Hami for nearly two months. Even the weakest scouts should have made a lot of mistakes.
Hang Yu stood up and said, "Your Highness, please move."
Come to the sand table.
Hang Yu introduced: "Those who are eyeing the Hami area are the Zhunge'er tribe and the Duerbot tribe, each with about 50,000 cavalry. According to estimates, the two tribes should go out in full force and make a desperate move."
Zhu Jianji nodded, "Absolutely."
The cavalry army of 100,000 people gathered in Wala must have been mobilized. After all, the population of Mobei is not large in the first place.
I feel that the natural disasters in the seventeenth year of Jingtai made them miserable.
In order to survive the cold winter, I had to fight for my life against the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Ming Dynasty can recruit people.
The leaders of these two tribes were given the title of king and given food and cloth.
But it's not necessary.
With Hang Yu's introduction, Zhu Jianji had a rough idea of the distribution of the troops of the Oara tribes in the Hami area. After all, the Oara tribe was not the same as before, but it was now a piece of scattered sand.
There were only 100,000 cavalry in total.
The 50,000 cavalry troops of Junger's tribe were stationed in two groups, northwest of Hami Guard.
Dulbert's 50,000 cavalry troops formed a line.
To the northeast of Hamiwei.
You can attack the Hami Guard or the Suzhou Guard.
Zhu Jianji pondered for a while and said to Hang Yu: "The young army rested for three days. Three days later, the young army took the initiative to attack the army of Zhunge'er tribe. General Hang led his army to outflank the army to block the retreat route of Zhunge'er tribe."
Looking at Zhu Yi, the commander of the Shanxi Xingdu Division, "Cheng Guogong, you were transferred from Nanjing to the north to garrison. Because you have been in the south all year round, you may not know much about the tactics and habits of the Mobei cavalry. You asked the Suzhou Guards to
The troops taking the initiative to attack is a feint attack. It means launching an attack on Dulbert's department, but they cannot make contact. Just contain Dulbert's department!"
Zhu Yi took the order.
He also asked: "Funing Marquis Zhu Yong has heavy troops stationed in Liangzhou, Ganzhou, and Yongchang. Do you need to bring him over?"
Zhu Jianji shook his head, "No, although the Maoli children are intruding in Xuanfu, the main force is in the Wengniute area outside the Hetao. Zhu Yong's troops in the Hetao area must contain the Maoli children."
