On the way to Hami, when passing by the Hetao area, I told Zhu Yong that he should cooperate with the East Palace Young Army and wait until the Young Army has eliminated the large armies of the Oara tribes outside Hami. The Young Army will immediately march eastward.
Zhu Yong's troops were responsible for containment during this period.
If Maoli Hai's army dares to retreat, Zhu Yong will lead his army to pursue them with all their strength.
If the Maoli boy army attacks the Hetao, Zhu Yong will only defend.
Try to reduce your own battle losses as much as possible.
In a word: The Ming Dynasty's regular troops only played a supporting role for the East Palace Young Army this time, responsible for containing the troops, cleaning up the tail, or even being responsible for professional logistics.
The young army of the East Palace will be like a sword!
Along the northern defense line, along the Great Wall, sweeping from west to east.
…
…
To the northwest of Hamiwei, from the Altai Mountains to the vast desert of Hamiwei, there is a camp stretching for several miles. In the sweat tent, a group of men eat meat and drink wine.
Well, this year has been full of disasters.
The sad thing is that ordinary people have little impact on the lives of the superstructure.
The reason why I have to risk my life is because there is no other way.
They had food and drink.
But the people did not.
If this problem is not solved, the cold winter will not be able to survive, public resentment will boil, and their status will not be guaranteed, and they may be replaced by someone else - replacement has always been Mobei's "glorious tradition".
Batu Erte is the Taiji of Junger tribe.
Taiji, the throne below the khan.
At this moment, Batur'ot drank the wine in the glass in one gulp and said to another gentle-looking man under the tent: "According to the information, the Ming Dynasty Prince led the East Palace young army to Hami Guard. Your Turgut tribe, are you willing to do it for us?"
Are we going to use our army to test the intentions of the Ming Dynasty border troops in the Hami area?"
The gentle-looking man is called Courdai.
He is the leader of the Torgut tribe.
When Kuerdai was young, that is, between the fourth and eighth years of Jingtai, he spent several years in the capital of the Ming Dynasty and became familiar with the culture of the Central Plains.
This time the Zhunge'er tribe intended to invade the south. If they wanted to attack the Hami Guards, they had to pass through the territory of the Torgut tribe. How could Batur'ot give up the strength of the Torgut tribe and take the Torgut tribe with them?
send troops.
Kuerdai had no choice but to select tribal warriors and form an army of 5,000 people to follow them to the Hami area.
But in his heart he didn't want to offend Daming.
Hearing this, he said: "Our army only has five thousand men. The young army of the Ming Prince is the elite of the Ming army. Moreover, the Ming Prince has come to Hami. This shows how resolute the Ming Dynasty is towards us. I think we should move quickly."
Retreat, then write a letter to make amends with the Ming Dynasty, and maybe you can get a reward from the Ming Dynasty to protect the people through this cold winter."
Do you want to call me Buerlang to die?
Thinking too much.
I would not be so stupid as to take the backbone of the tribe to fight against the East Palace infantry.
Bartholomew knew that Courdai would say this.
Secretly despised.
Coward!
Wait, when the situation is better, I will annex your Torgut tribe.
If the Dulbert tribe is eliminated, the Geer tribe may be able to regain the peak glory of Oara in the previous era.
At the end of the king's tent, a middle-aged sour scholar smiled and said: "There is no chance of reconciliation with the Ming Dynasty. I have heard a lot about the deeds of the Ming Dynasty prince in recent years. This prince of the Ming Dynasty is a talented man with a strong style.
I even think that he led the East Palace Young Army to Hami this time just to completely defeat our two armies, so that he would have more time to reform the long-standing abuses in the Ming Dynasty."
This is a Han Chinese.
My name is Li Shunqing.
He was originally a private school teacher in the Hetao area. In the early years, when Shen Yu, Fang Ying and others were in turmoil, the north was in chaos. Dulbert's troops harassed the border and snatched him back.
Li Shunqing is good at chess and music, and is familiar with history books.
It's a pity that the leader of Dulbert's tribe didn't know the goods, so he was replaced by Batu Erte with three sheep.
Now Li Shunqing has settled down in Zhungeerbu.
He is the dog-headed strategist of Batu Erte.
Mainly studies the Ming Dynasty's strategy towards Mobei.
Batu Erte attached great importance to Li Shunqing's words, and asked after hearing this: "You mean, this time the Ming Dynasty is going to start a war on all our Zhunge'er tribe, Duerbot tribe and Maoli children?"
Does Ming Dynasty have such courage?
The Ming Dynasty did have this military strength, but the lessons learned from the orthodox fourteen years were not enough.
Li Shunqing said: "It's very possible. Otherwise, why didn't the Ming Prince go to Xuanfu? Why didn't he stay in Liangzhou Guard, but he had to go through the Hexi Corridor to the most remote Hami Guard?"
That was the Ming Dynasty Prince.
The Ming Dynasty Prince came to Hami Guard as a crown prince. Could it be that he brought some beauties from the Hami area back to the East Palace for fun?
Batu Erte was a little puzzled, "The Ming Dynasty's troops in the Hami area did not exceed one hundred thousand. Including the arrival of the East Palace young army, there were only seven or eight thousand people. Among them, there were only less than 30,000 cavalry. How could they have the confidence? "
Together with Dulbert's troops, we have a cavalry force of one hundred thousand.
Moreover, the combat capabilities of both sides are not the same.
Li Shunqing shook his head, "Don't underestimate the Ming prince. In the tenth year of Jingtai, the Ming prince Zhu Jianji led his army south to quell the rebellion. The number of Jianwen's remnants was nearly 100,000. As a result, Zhu Jianji's army quelled the rebellion in Fujian with almost zero losses. We must be careful. superior."
After a pause, "Now that the Ming Prince is here, it is obvious that Ming has seen through our idea of entering the pass before it snows. He also asked Tai Ji to quickly give an order. While the young army has not adapted in the Hami area, our army should attack with all its troops." Attack the Hami Guard, and at the same time notify Dulbert's Department, divide the troops into two groups, attack the Chijin Mongolian Guard along the way, and attack the Suzhou Guard all the way. As long as these three guards are captured by us, the Shazhou Guard behind the Hami Guard and the Chijin Mongolian Guard will be Lambs to be slaughtered, maybe we can capture the Ming prince. In this case, there is no need to enter the border and let Ming bring money, grain, and cloth to exchange for their Ming prince!"
The emperor could temporarily put someone on the throne, just like Zhu Qiyu.
But you can’t change it, Prince?
Emperor Jingtai even eliminated Tang's relatives for Zhu Jianji. If Zhu Jianji fell into the hands of Zhun Ge'er, he would be worth more than Zhu Qizhen back then.
Batuel's eyes lit up.
What Li Shunqing said makes sense!
Suddenly, I felt that the food and wine were no longer tasty. If they captured the Ming Prince, they could ask for money and food, and they could even ask for dozens of young ladies from the south of the Yangtze River to come back.
Zhu Qiyu dared not to give it to him?
Cool!
He stood up immediately and said, "Jasilan, pass this Khan's order, and the army will attack Hami Guards in three days."
He also said: "Ye Xie Keli, go and inform the Dulbert tribe that the situation has changed. The Ming Prince has arrived at Hami Guard. We, all the tribes in Wala, should work together to capture the Ming Prince. By then, we can share in the Ming Dynasty's enshrinement!"
The generals immediately accepted the order.
Li Shunqing added, "In this battle, we can attack with all our strength, regardless of battle losses. As long as we capture the Ming Prince, all battle losses will be worth mentioning."
After a pause, he said with a smile: "In the 14th year of Zhengtong, there was the Tumubao Revolution. In the 17th year of Jingtai, we will carry out the Hami Revolution for the Ming Dynasty."
Wonderful different approach but similar effect!
Batu Erte has already seen that a great future is waving to him.
Hearing this, he burst out laughing.
Kordai, the leader of Torgut, drank wine silently and sneered in his heart.
Do you, Batu Erte, dare to believe the words of Li Shunqing, a commoner of the Ming Dynasty?
act recklessly.
Prince Zhu Jianji of the Ming Dynasty dared to come to Hami. Didn’t he have some confidence? Not to mention the young army, the Ming Dynasty border troops in the Hami area, especially the governor Hang Yu and the military governor Cheng Xin, had not suffered any defeats in recent years.
And the prince Zhu Jianji is not as stupid as the fortress Zhu Qizhen.
How could Zhu Jianji be captured alive by you so easily under heavy military defense?
Anyway, Kuerdai made up his mind and really started the war. He led the warriors of the Erhut tribe to march "slowly" and tried not to come into contact with the Ming border troops.
At that time, there will be room for maneuver on Daming's side.
