“Chahanhot is well built.”
Sun Changzhou looked at the slightly rough city in front of him and nodded slightly, with surprise in his heart.
According to the imperial court's impression over the years, the Mongols are scum, but in fact the Mongols established the existence of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, and their level of civilization is constantly improving.
But compared with the leap-forward progress of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, they are still not obvious.
For example, Dayan Khan, a young Mongolian prince during the Zhengde period, unified Monan Mongolia and expelled and defeated most of the lords with different surnames.
In other words, as early as more than a hundred years ago, the Borjijin clan was dispersed to various tribes in Monan.
Although this kind of order maintained by blood relatives weakened the strength of the Khan Court, it made the Chahar tribe the best in Monan and led the tribes in Monan for more than a hundred years.
When Lin Dan Khan, who was ranked as the Eastern Crouching Dragon and Phoenix together with Chongzhen, succeeded to the throne, he could not bear the loneliness and wanted to rebuild the power of the Mongol Empire, but failed to restore the Dayan Khan period.
As a result, the more they struggled, the more useless they became. They forced the Horqin tribe to rebel, fled to the Hetao area, and occupied the territory of the Tumed tribe. The Ordos tribe and the Tumed tribe also rebelled.
The Manchus chased him, capturing territory all the way, and unknowingly the entire Monan Mongolia was captured.
This is just like Zhu Yixi following Zhang Xianzhong to clean up the mess, which is very exciting.
"Chahanhot (now Chifeng) is more than twenty miles long and more than two feet high. Although there is no moat, it is a majestic city with an unobstructed view of the grassland."
On the side, Qianhu Feng Shouguan bowed and introduced: "This city can accommodate tens of thousands of people, as well as a large number of horses, cattle, sheep, and grain."
"Yes!" Sun Changzhou nodded: "After a long journey, there is no vegetation and no siege equipment. It is indeed a strong city."
"How is Abu Nai Khan?"
When he arrived here and saw that the Manchus were not here, Sun Changzhou felt much more relaxed and finally thought of Abu Nai.
"The Khan was injured by an arrow and fell into a coma."
"What a pity." Sun Changzhou sighed: "You are only eighteen or nineteen years old, what will happen to the Chahar tribe!"
Feng Shouguan moved his eyelids and called Jin Zeming up: "Governor Xian, this person is often in the Chahar Department and knows a lot about him."
"Oh? Tell me."
"Reporting to Governor Xian, there are currently two voices in the Chahar tribe. One is Abu Nai's cousin Temur, who supports Abu Nai, and the other is Abu Nai's young son."
Jin Zeming calmed down and said in a calm voice.
"kindness!"
Sun Changzhou had some thoughts in his mind and asked, "Do you know which one of the two books has the loudest voice?"
"The number of nobles who support Temur is the largest. After all, the Qing Dynasty is now suppressing the territory with its troops."
"Okay, I understand, let's enter the city!"
Sun Changzhou said calmly, no one knew what he was thinking.
The Ming army is coming.
In the gloomy Chahanhot, everyone was immediately startled and broke into a cold sweat.
Although the Mongols have recently cooperated with Akito, they are actually very defensive and just taking advantage of their connections.
As soon as they heard the arrival of the Ming army, everyone immediately prepared to counterattack, but when they learned that 20,000 Ming troops were close at hand, it was already too late.
Under the combination of inside and outside, Chahanhot was like a woman who took off her clothes, lying down aggrievedly, waiting for luck.
"Sweat-"
Sun Changzhou looked at the unconscious Abu Nai, with sadness written all over his face: "The Manchu thieves have ulterior motives. They just cheat on the battlefield, but now they send assassins. It's really shameless and despicable."
As he said that, he looked at the many Mongolian nobles with a solemn and angry expression: "I, the Emperor of Heaven, as the lord of the world, naturally have to live for the Chahar tribe."
"With my great master tomorrow, the Manchu Qing Dynasty will definitely not be able to take advantage."
The Mongolian nobles were relieved and had to bow their heads.
With its suddenness and 20,000 troops, the huge Chahanhot was perfectly absorbed by it.
At this time, under the delay of the Khalkha Mongolian tribes, the Manchu and Qing army finally arrived at Chahanhot City.
Seeing this city again, Azig's face turned ugly.
Because he saw the flag of the Ming army on the top of the city.
Under the city, a military stronghold was built, which acted as an exterior and interior for each other. It was obvious at a glance that it was very difficult to fight.
"Did the Ming army come at any time?"
Azig held back his anger: "Those Mongols? Why don't they come to see me?"
"General, Mingren came yesterday and gathered all the Mongolian nobles in the city. They were not allowed to leave easily."
"In addition, there was a fire in the city last night, and Abu Nai was plotted against him. He has not yet woken up. The hearts of the Chahar tribe are in turmoil."
Azig was furious.
From the previous war to the present, only a few days have passed. Could Ming people have predicted this?
When he came to Chahar this time, he did not bring artillery because he knew that the Mongols would never be able to defend the city, and they would not defend it.
But the Ming army is different. A simple city can be tricked. This is definitely not good news for the Manchu-Mongolian coalition.
The three deputy generals, Nikan, Luck Dehun and Ao Bai, watched with tiger eyes, eager to see the power of the Ming army on the grassland.
"The people of Ming Dynasty took down the general stronghold and then planned to attack this city."
Azig chose a conservative plan.
Among the two sides that are at odds with each other, the military stronghold is considered the weakest. If even they can't take it down, let alone the city.
Furthermore, now that there is no internal response, there is a problem with the supply of food and grass.
Chahanhot is too far away from Liaodong and the Khalkha Mongolian tribes, but it is closer to the Ming people, which is distressing.
The Ming army will come to support at any time. If they can't take it in a short time, why waste their energy here.
Obai stared at the city with piercing eyes, with an indescribable fighting spirit in his heart.
Tian Lian can see that as a person from the Three Banners, he has basically not taken any action since entering the customs, and Dorgon has never thought of letting him lead troops into battle.
So although he was extremely brave during the Huang Taiji period, in recent years his light has dimmed and his power has plummeted.
Now as Emperor Shunzhi grows older, he has also gained benefits and is able to lead troops in battle and come to the battlefield again.
"I must let Mingren know how powerful I, Obei, am."
…
Beijing city.
The war situation in the grasslands outside the pass has no impact on the excitement in Beijing.
Commodities from all over the world are continuously transported to the city, becoming the food and possessions of the dignitaries.
After autumn, the sky is high and the air is crisp, and the cold is getting more and more pressing.
Compared with last year, woolen sweaters are the most talked about on the market.
From the winter of the third year of Shaowu to now, the woolen sweaters popularized by dignitaries have finally reached the market and are very popular.
Compared with cotton, woolen sweaters are warmer and suitable for working outside, and the key prices are still the same.
Compared with a complete set of cotton-padded clothes, wool is just a lining, sewn inside the clothes. It is lighter and less bulky, making it very suitable for work.
This one alone is sought after by businessmen.
