"Join forces?" Fan Wencheng frowned slightly. Can Hutu Dunhan and Tiancong Khan join forces? is it possible?
Hutu Dun Khan regarded himself as the Great Yuan Khan. He was the direct descendant of the Golden Family and should be the co-owner of Mongolia. And Tianming Laohan and Tiancong Khan have been poaching others in recent years. First they poached the Horqin tribe, then the five camps of the Inner Khalkha, and now they have inserted Aohan and Naiman into the eight battalions of the Han tribe. camp, and forced Hutu Dun Khan to move his troops westward!
If we dig further, the Han tribe will be gone!
Hutu Dun Khan must have hated Tianming Khan and Tiancong Khan to death, so how could he join forces with Tiancong Khan?
Seeing the doubt on Fan Wencheng's face, Fan Yongdou chuckled: "Everyone knows that Hutu Dun Khan hates Tiancong Khan. How can I not know that my family has been friends with the Han tribe for generations?"
Fan Yongdou's family has been doing business with Tatars for seven generations, and his regular customers are of course the Tumut tribe and the Han tribe. How many years did it take for Jianzhou Jurchen to rise? How deep can the relationship between the Fan family and them be?
And this time Fan Yongdou instigated Hou Jin and the Cha Han tribe to join forces, and the purpose was also to give the Cha Han tribe a hand... If the Ming Dynasty defeated the Cha Han tribe in the future struggle, there would be no three-year war. A market reward of 400,000 taels of silver was obtained.
Without market rewards, the Han tribe would have no purchasing power. How could the Fan family do business?
So Fan Yongdou hoped that the Ming Dynasty would defeat the war!
Fan Yongdou continued: "Although the Han tribe hates the Kingdom of Jin, they can't defeat the Kingdom of Jin... and Hutu Dunhan can't do without the market rewards of the Ming Dynasty! Although he is a Mongolian Communist In the name of the Lord, no one outside the Han tribe will pay tribute to him. Even among the eight camps of the Han tribe, how many camps can really give enough tributes? Therefore, the financial resources that Hutu Dun Khan can control are still It's just this market reward coupled with the mutual trade with Ming Dynasty.
If the Ming Dynasty stopped the market reward and stopped the mutual trade. Then he must go to war with the Ming Dynasty! Even if Tiancong Khan had a grudge against him for killing his father and seizing his wife, he would have to fight against the Ming Dynasty first, and then go to the Kingdom of Jin to seek revenge.
The Kingdom of Jin is willing to join forces with the Han tribe, which is what the Han tribe wants... Even if Hutu Dunhan doesn't say it, he will actually implement the strategy of joining forces to attack the Ming Dynasty. Because of the interference of the Jin Dynasty, he was sure of victory, and he could seize the opportunity of the Jin Dynasty to beat the Ming Dynasty and blackmail him for a vote! "
"That's right, that's right!" Fan Wencheng had already shouted after hearing this.
The strategy of joining forces between the two families mentioned by Fan Yongdou is indeed feasible...and it is also a good thing that Huang Taiji dreams of.
The current situation in western Liaoning and southern Liaoning makes the Kingdom of Jin a little uncomfortable. After Huang Taiji came to the throne, he first attacked North Korea, won first and then retreated. He said to the outside world that there was a great epidemic in the army, but in fact it was because Mao Wenlong continued to harass his retreat. In order to avoid the prolongation of the war, we have to give up when things are good. Later Huang Taiji sent troops to attack Ningjin again, and this time he was solidly defeated!
Especially on May 28, the seventh year of the Apocalypse, the two battles that took place at the foot of Ningyuan City and outside Jinzhou City both ended with the defeat of the Jin Army. In these two battles, the battles erected at Ningyuan and The Hongyi cannons on the top of Jinzhou City exerted their power and caused certain casualties to the Hou Jin Army. In addition, the Ming army fought based on the city, which restricted the mobility of the Houjin cavalry.
After the two battles, Huang Taiji had to end the Ningjin War that lasted for 24 days and "return in disgrace". If he hadn't met the coward Hutu Dunhan later, he abandoned the Liaohe Hetao without a fight, leaving Huang Taiji to pick up a piece of cake in vain. Big win. It’s hard to say whether this Houjin Great Khan still has the dignity to sit on the throne!
However, Huang Taiji's loss in the battle of Ningjin is still a thorn in his heart. If he doesn't regain his position, the Khan's position will always be shaky!
And it seems that it is not easy to regain the position... because Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and Shanhaiguan are all strong fortresses that are difficult to attack. Especially now that there are Hongyi cannons, the Hou Jin army doesn't even know how to attack the city!
Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and Shanhaiguan are all tall and solid brick cities. They cannot be penetrated by just building ladders and digging wall roots. They must have siege equipment to cover the dead soldiers. But those things were all heavy and slow, and could easily be hit by the Hongyi cannon. The weight of the Hongyi cannon's bullets is 12 pounds! Those wooden instruments can be shattered in one go, and then all kinds of fragments fly everywhere, and they can't be healed even if they are touched.
Therefore, fighting under the city is very disadvantageous to the Hou Jin soldiers. As long as their shield vehicles or other siege equipment are hit by a 12-pound cannon shell, a group of people will fall around... Either death or death It hurts!
Castles like Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and Shanhaiguan cannot be defeated in one go. If you can defeat them after dozens of rounds, it will be considered a success. If every round the Hongyi cannon is used to smash ten shield vehicles or other equipment and knock down hundreds of people... after dozens of rounds, thousands of people will be knocked down by the Hongyi cannon alone. . In addition to the losses caused by climbing the city, tens of thousands of people were killed.
How could Huang Taiji endure such casualties? If he died in this way, wouldn't he be able to fight alone when Huang Taiji reached the gates of Beijing?
So Huang Taiji didn’t know how to find the venue in western Liaoning?
Although Lushunkou in southern Liaoning is not that strong (the Nanguan Canal has not been dug yet), the indicator significance is not very great. Moreover, the Later Jin Kingdom had no remaining strength to defend Lushun - the terrain of the Jinzhou Peninsula was too favorable to the Ming army with sea control.
If the Hou Jin soldiers entered, they would not be able to defend with a small number of soldiers, and they would be easily surrounded by the Ming troops landing from behind. If there are many soldiers, there will be no food... It is too far to transport food from Liaoyang! Houjin does not have that kind of strength.
Moreover, it was impossible for Lushunkou to become an offensive stronghold for Hou Jin and could only become a defensive burden. Deploying troops at Lushunkou, no matter how small, is not conducive to the war against the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, Hou Jin did not deploy heavy troops when he occupied Lushun twice before. After being captured by Mao Wenlong twice, he did not send troops to counterattack.
And if the Ming Dynasty and the Han Dynasty fight, it will be a good opportunity for Huang Taiji to find a place.
But Huang Taiji still has to seize the opportunity to take action... It's too early to send troops, so it's time for Ming Dynasty and the Han tribe to join forces!
It was too late to send troops, and the Ming Dynasty and the Han tribe had finished fighting!
Fan Wencheng squinted his eyes and said thoughtfully: "The current Ming Dynasty, Dai Jin Dynasty, and Han Dynasty are just like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms! Who will win the world in the end depends on whose methods are clever!"
...
"Yunlong, do you know why I dismissed you as the chief soldier of the Xuanfu?"
Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.
At the same time, Zhu Youjian was summoning a strong man in his forties wearing a python robe and a black gauze on his head, who looked like an iron tower.
This man had a dark face, a shaggy beard, and his eyes were not big, but they had a fierce look.
This man's surname is Hei and his given name is Yunlong. He was the former chief military officer of Xuanfu Town, and before that he was the chief military officer of Shanhaiguan. He also had a share of the credit for the victory of Ningjin. Because of his efforts to curry favor with Wei Zhongxian, he was promoted to the chief military officer of Xuanfu Town in July of the seventh year of Tianqi.
Because of his close relationship with Wei Zhongxian, he was criticized as a backbone of the eunuch party and suspected of rebelling against the party, and he was saddled with bullets.
Hearing Zhu Youjian's question, Hei Yunlong knelt on the ground with a plop, and said angrily: "Your Majesty, although I have flattered Wei Ni, my loyalty is to the Ming Dynasty and your Majesty, I... "
"I know you are a loyal minister!" Zhu Youjian waved his hand, interrupted Hei Yunlong, and said with a smile, "Otherwise I wouldn't have transferred you to Beijing... I told you clearly that I will transfer you The reason why you came to Beijing is because you are from Datong and have served as officials in Xuan, Da, Ji and other places for a long time. You are familiar with the terrain and have had a lot of dealings with Mongolians outside the country. That’s why I called you to Beijing and wanted you to be the accountant. Commander of the military capital...are you willing?"
It turns out that Zhu Youjian was already preparing for the imperial conquest!
In order for the imperial commander to conduct a personal expedition, he had to have generals on his left and right to help him command. However, the generals around Zhu Youjian, including Wu Xiang, Cao Wenzhao, Sun Yingyuan, Zhou Yuji, and Huang Degong, did not reach the level of the general soldiers of the border town. Although special promotions can be made, Zhu Youjian still hopes to have a qualified veteran to lead them.
In his previous life, he was quite familiar with Heiyunlong and knew that this guy was a proven loyal minister, so he kept him by his side.
What? Are the pro-army commanders in front of the tent? Of course, Hei Yunlong knew that the soldiers in front of the tent were servants of the emperor, but he didn't know that he was a time-tested loyal minister to feudalism!
The emperor's servant should be the emperor's confidant to be the commander-in-chief! Heiyun Longxin said: Am I the Emperor’s confidant? The emperor is really aware of everything and knows that I, Lao Hei, am loyal to the Ming Dynasty. With such a wise king in the government, why worry that the Ming Dynasty cannot be revived?
