"Great Khan, what I mean is that the Yanshan Mountain belongs to me and the grassland belongs to you... I will fight for the Yanshan Mountain that belongs to me! The grassland that belongs to you will also be taken by you. As for the territory of Liaodong, except Yanshan Outside the foothills of Shandong and the mountainous areas of western Liaoning that belong to the remnants of the Yanshan Mountains, I will be content to take over the land under the jurisdiction of the original Liaodong General Town. The rest of the land will belong to the Northern Yuan Dynasty!"
Outside Xinghesuo City, there is a huge golden-domed tent. Zhu Youjian, who "knows how to fight best", is discussing with Lindan Batur, the "runner", about the carving up of the Jin Kingdom... Although Zhu Youjian doesn't believe that this one can bring peace to Liaoning. Gold is gone.
How can such a good thing happen? What Zhu Youjian can fight at hand is 12,000 Zhangqian troops and 60,000 Xuan, Da, Jing, and Changzhen troops. Moreover, they cannot all be sent out to attack Yanshan. Among them, 2,000 troops must be left in front of the tent to look after the house. Troops must be left in Datong, Beijing, and Xuanfu. The total number of troops in the three places must be more than 30,000.
In other words, the total number of troops that can follow Zhu Youjian now is 40,000 troops and 36 "black artillery".
This number is actually quite large, and it is complete with horses, infantry, and artillery. It can probably be regarded as the strongest army in East Asia. If he really had a fight to the death with Huang Taiji in the Yanshan Mountains, Zhu Youjian would really not be afraid.
But the problem is, he also knows that Huang Taiji's level... is not that easy to deal with!
Therefore, Zhu Youjian's current plan is to compete for the land of Yanshan.
And Yanshan... is actually a good place!
Even though the Yanshan Mountains are full of mountains and ravines, there doesn’t seem to be much flat land. But in fact, there are many valleys that can be reclaimed in the Yanshan Mountains! These valleys have relatively sufficient water sources and are good places for farming and grazing. If the entire Yanshan Mountains could be occupied, it would be possible to create an additional 10 million acres of cultivated land.
And because of the protection of Yanshan Mountain, the winter in these areas is much warmer than the grasslands in the north and Liaodong in the east. The water and soil are also well maintained, making them very suitable for reclamation.
If Zhu Youjian can thoroughly understand and secure the land of Yanshan, not only will Houjin no longer have the possibility of entrance damage, but the pressure on food supply in Beizhili will also be greatly alleviated - 10 million acres of land, even if the yield per mu is only One stone can be worth tens of millions of stones!
Moreover, the Yanshan Mountains, which are full of valleys, is a very good place for the construction of feudalism... The military and civilian command offices and military and civilian Qianhu Offices of the Ming Dynasty are actually not very suitable for placement on the great plains. Because it is not easy to maintain separatist regimes on the Great Plains, once the central authority weakens, there will be a situation of mutual annexation, and then very powerful vassal towns will appear.
And it will not be easy for the thousands of military and civilian households nesting in the valley to annex each other... Where is the terrain?
Therefore, Zhu Youjian planned to entrust a large number of military and civilian 1,000-household settlements in the Yanshan Mountains. Now they can be used to shield Beijing. In the future, these military and civilian 1,000-household settlements can also be used as colonial groups to move out - feudal colonial groups with real combat effectiveness are also needed. For those who want to exercise, let them practice their skills in the Yanshan Mountains first!
Lindan Batur listened to the land distribution plan presented by Zhu Youjian and squinted his eyes to make some calculations. It's not that I'm dissatisfied with the plan, but I don't believe in Zhu Youjian at all... He is the Great Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and Zhu Youjian is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. The two sides are destined to be old enemies!
Joining forces to deal with Hou Jin now is only temporary. Once Hou Jin is finished, Bei Yuan and Nan Ming will still have to compete.
And Zhu Youjian is obviously the hero of Nanming! Lindan Batur thought: It seems that this Khan can only find a way to maintain the situation in the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Southern Ming Dynasty. When Ezhe becomes the Great Khan in the future, he can deal with that "Zhu Ciniang" (the Great Khan does not know "Hang")! Just by the name, it's easy to deal with, he's kind-hearted, and a bit girly...
Thinking of this, Lindan Batur nodded and said: "Okay... It is enough for us Mongolians to have grasslands. We do not need the territory of Yanshan, Liaoxi Mountains and Liaodong Town." He paused, "Emperor , what do you mean is that we divide our troops and march in two directions, you lead the troops to Yanshan, I go to the grassland, and both sides march together?"
"No need to go together," Zhu Youjian waved his hand, "The Great Khan can first go to Saihanba to station his herds. The grass there is very rich. In the summer, the Great Khan's horses will be fat and strong, and then they can cross the thousands of miles of pine forests to the east. Entering the Huanghe River... If Huang Taiji was still confronting me at Mameng Mountain, I believe that many Mongolian tribes on the grassland would return to the Great Khan's command."
The Huanghe River is a tributary of the Liaohe River, with boundless prairie on both sides. It was the heartland of the Khitan people in the past, and the core territory of the Han tribe in the past. It can be reached from the fertile Seshangba grassland through thousands of miles of pine forests. .
Once the Great Khan who invaded the Han Dynasty returns to the Huanghe River Basin, the Mongolian left wing will most likely change!
By then, if Huang Taiji had not been beaten by Zhu Youjian, he would have to withdraw from Mameng Mountain... And the large valley basin east of Mameng Mountain was where the Daning Guards were in the past, and it was also the jurisdiction of the North Parallel Capital Division. The place is also the fiefdom of King Ning, one of the nine kings.
Once Zhu Youjian recaptures Ma Mengshan, it is not impossible to rebuild the Daning Guard and restore the Peking capital.
Lin Danbatour did some calculations again. No matter how he calculated, he felt that the method proposed by Zhu Youjian was quite good... Let the Ming army fight first. If it goes well, then wait until summer, and then he will go through the thousands of miles of pine forest. , there is not much risk.
It seems that Beiyuan's resurgence is on the cards!
...
"Your Majesty, are the conditions you gave Hutu Dunhan too favorable? We gave him 100,000 shi of grain, 100,000 bundles of hay, and 3,000 pieces of cloth-covered armor..."
"Yeah, let's let Ma Mengshan fight to the death and let him loot Huanghe. Isn't it too easy for him?"
"Your Majesty, this Hutu Dunhan has been using our money to do nothing in the past, but he has a bad record!"
Lin Dan Batur left Xinghe City happily, and there was someone behind him to settle the accounts with Zhu You.
Zhu Youjian glanced around, and it was Yang Hao, Zhang Fengyi and Hei Yunlong who said this. It seems that these three people have suffered a lot from inserting themselves into the Han tribe in the past.
"The conditions I gave him are indeed favorable," Zhu Youjian smiled, "but there is no advantage in joining the Han tribe... because Huang Taiji also likes to pinch the weak!
I sent troops from Rehe City, and we fought step by step, steadily, and did not reveal any flaws to Huang Taiji. Even if we spend military rations with him, we can drive the slave thieves away from Mameng Mountain!
When the time comes, Huang Taiji will have to find Lin Dan Batur if he wants to pinch the soft persimmon! So now I am not afraid that Lin Dan Batur will take advantage of me, but I am afraid that he will be his Western Khan in the Tumote River. "
Yang Hao still felt uneasy, "Long live my lord, after all, we only have 40,000 soldiers and horses. If all the slaves and thieves come... I'm afraid we may not be able to win!"
Zhu Youjian laughed and said: "How can we not win? If Huang Taiji dares to come, he will be dead! I have 10,000 armored cavalry, 30,000 brave infantry, and 36 black artillery... Even if all Huang Taiji's 60,000 Eight Banners soldiers come, I am not afraid of him! What I should be afraid of is Huang Taiji. If he, the slave-thief Khan, sends 60,000 troops, he will end up with no results, he will run out of food, and let Lin Danba Tur recaptured left-wing Mongolia. Can the government-discussing Baylor Lord in his country spare him?
Don't worry, I know the slave thief best. What the slave thief is doing now is that the four major Belles sit on the dragon bed together. Huang Taiji is just one of them, so he doesn't dare to risk his life. "
Are you the one who knows slaves and thieves best?
Yang Hao, Zhang Fengyi and Hei Yunlong were all stunned and said to themselves: Where did you, the little emperor, know anything about slaves and thieves? And...how do you know so much? He is the best in the world in martial arts, the best in the art of war, he also understands Western languages, Mongolian, and Western artillery, and now he knows the best about slaves and thieves!
Is there anything in the world that you don’t understand?
Zhu Youjian was stared at by several suspicious eyes, and he felt a little guilty - he seemed to know too much, why was my knowledge so great? This is not modest enough!
Thinking of this, he quickly changed the subject and said: "Now that we have reached an agreement with Lin Dan Batur, let's send troops early... We will return to Xuanfu tomorrow and send troops three days later. First move to Rehe City, and then go to Mameng Mountain. Build Huizhou City on the Chahan River in the south!"
