"Send troops the day after tomorrow?" Lady Siqintu looked at Zhu Youjian eagerly, "Long live your Majesty, can't you rest for a few more days? You must be very hard these days, right? You look like you have lost weight, so let me serve your Majesty well. Bar."
Seeing Siqintu's slightly resentful eyes, Zhu Youjian remembered the scene when she and Zhong Muna were captured by the Xiaohuang River... These two Mongolian women were really a bit wild, and they actually dared to lead their troops into formation to fight. Heavenly soldiers!
But how could they imagine Zhu Youjian's bravery? The formation was too loose, and there was no solid formation of spears and infantry, but a formation of light cavalry. As a result, Zhu Youjian personally led the cavalry to charge, and he was immediately in front of Zhong Muna and Siqin Tu. He pointed a spear at the two and shouted at them to dismount and be bound. At that time, Zhong Muna wanted to resist, but Siqintu knew that he was outmatched and lost his horse. He persuaded Zhong Muna to dismount and remove his armor, walk to Zhu Youjian's horse, kowtow and surrender, and was willing to be bound and let Zhu Youjian lead him. As the two of them swaggered back to camp...
After this, Siqintu became one of the Mongolian noble concubines favored by Zhu Youjian. Not only was he sealed in the fertile Saihanba grassland (the historical Mulan Paddock, located in the south of the Thousand Miles of Pine Forest, backed by Yanshan Mountain, with a humid climate and dense forests), but also before Zhu Youjian "went south to beg for food" in the fifth year of Chongzhen. I have been accompanying Wang Bianjia for a long time, and was "captured" alive by Zhu Youjian every once in a while, so my life was very comfortable. Before Zhu Youjian went south, she was pregnant. In the first month of the sixth year of Chongzhen, she gave birth to a boy in Duoluo Palace. He was named Ciyan and made King of Lin by Zhu Youjian, who was thousands of miles away.
But he didn't expect that shortly after becoming a mother for the first time, the eldest concubine Wu Liangha sent him to garrison in Luotuoshan City. Not only could Zhu Youjian not be seen, but his son could not be seen either.
Looking at Siqintu's plump body after giving birth, Zhu Youjian, who had pretended to be a prostitute for decades in his previous life, was a little moved... How about resting in Luotuo Mountain for a few more days?
However, before Zhu Youjian's madness began to show up, the female Zhongda on the side spoke: "Sister Siqintu, now is not the time to rest! Twenty thousand troops, forty thousand horses, ten thousand camels, They all gathered in Luotuo City. How much rations and fodder will it cost if we stay for one more day? When we defeat the Hou Jin army surrounding Kaiping and help Lord Long Live become the Heavenly Khan, you can serve Lord Long Live however you want!"
Zhu Youjian nodded and said solemnly: "The imperial concubine is right. After defeating Huang Taiji, I will take you to the Jinlianchuan grassland to have a good time...I will meet the Mongolians there. The leader of the tribe will entrust tens of thousands of households and reorganize the laws of the grassland!"
Although the alliance of Oara tribes in Mongolia is not weak now, it has not reached the point where it can dominate Mongolia itself. Moreover, they have to deal with the increasingly powerful Rakshasa Kingdom and the local Tianfang Sect forces in Mughalstan, so they will not participate. The struggle for the power of the headquarters.
After the death of Hutu Dun Khan, those who were eligible to compete for the throne of Khan were no longer the descendants of the Jin family, but the two Tabunangs, Zhu Youjian and Huang Taiji.
Therefore, the upcoming battle of Jinlianchuan is actually a battle for the Mongolian throne!
The winning side will most likely get the support of the three Khans of Mobei and be elected as a new generation of Mongolian Khan by holding the Kuritai Conference.
...
After bathing and changing clothes, and taking a nap for two or three hours, Zhu Youjian finally regained his energy after working hard all the way, so he convened the generals and several Mongolian nobles for a military meeting in the meeting hall of Luotuoshan City.
The Mongolian noble concubines who have arrived at Camel Mountain now include Wu Liangha, Zhong Muna, Batma Hong and Siqin Tu. Su Tai was left in Taiyuan because of her pregnancy and did not accompany them.
The generals are Wei Zaode, Zu Kuan, Wu Sangui, Hei Wentao, Qin Mingtao, Cao Bianjiao, Hu Dawei, He Renlong, Jiang Yu, Sun Yuanhua and others. Among them, Wei Zaode, Zu Kuan, Wu Sangui, Hei Wentao, Qin Mingtao, Cao Bianjiao, etc. will follow Zhu Youjian all the way from western Liaoning. Hu Dawei, Jiang Quan, and He Renlong were the subordinates of Concubine Wu Liangha and Concubine Situ Qin, and Sun Yuanhua came with the artillery team from Xuanfu.
A group of generals and concubines lined up on both sides, with Zhu Youjian sitting high on the main seat, and the eldest concubine Wu Liangha placed a chair on the right side of Zhu Youjian - the real coach of this battle of Jinlianchuan was not It's not Zhu Youjian, but this noble concubine.
Zhu Youjian turned to look at the noble concubine and said with a smile: "Wuliangha, Jinlianchuan is your hometown, and you have been presiding over this battle, so I won't do anything for one thing, but you will be the one to arrange it. "
"I accept the imperial decree." Wu Liangha did not refuse, and immediately received Zhu Youjian's imperial edict, and then ordered the staff on the left and right, "Get on the map!"
A military meeting cannot be held without a map!
Wu Liangha, Batma Hong and Zhong Muna are the lords of the Jinlianchuan area. Of course they are familiar with the terrain, but others are not as familiar with it as they are. You have to look at the map to know.
On the map, the terrain of Jinlianchuan Grassland looks like a very wide river valley with mountains and forests on both sides. The east and south sides are the remnants of the Yanshan Mountains, and the northwest sides are continuous low hills. Relatively speaking, the mountainous areas to the east and south are relatively humid, with dense forests and numerous rivers. The mountainous areas in the northwest are relatively dry, but not bad. The low slopes are covered with grassland, and large forests can be seen in some places.
What could be worse than the grassland that Kublai Khan regarded as a fundamental place? In general, this is an open land suitable for farming and grazing. If it is well managed, 100,000 military households can be fed!
This grassland was firmly in the hands of the Ming Dynasty from the third year of Hongwu to the first year of Yongle. Zhu Yuanzhang first set up Kaiping Guards here, and then added a total of five garrison guards in front, back, left, and right. He also ordered Qi King Zhu Hui to station in Kaiping for "hunting" (that is, to encircle and suppress the remnants of Mongolia). Before the Battle of Jingnan, the Jinlianchuan Army The grassland and its surrounding areas, including the Saihanba Grassland, are already firmly controlled by the Ming Dynasty.
If Yongle had not withdrawn from the border, it would have been impossible for the Mongols to capture Kaiping Guards and Kaiping Wutun Guards... How could the Mongols attack the fortified city?
Moreover, the Six Guards of Kaiping had taken up all the grasslands south and east of Dashawo. If the Mongols wanted to invade, they would have to cross the desert and set off from Mobei! The Mongols in the Genghis Khan era might still be able to fight like this, but the people in the Beiyuan Dynasty couldn't do it at all.
In addition, as long as the Kaiping Six Guards are in hand, Yanshan is in hand, and Yanshan is in hand, Beijing is infallible - even if a powerful country rises in the Northeast, it is impossible to threaten Beijing without mastering Yanshan and the Kaiping Six Guards.
Breaking through the mountains and seas and reaching the vicinity of Beijing is simply a dream!
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty, which holds the Kaiping Six Guards, will definitely develop a powerful cavalry group, which can cross thousands of miles of pine forests into the Huanghe River Basin at any time, and even invade the Liaohe River Loop along the Huanghe River... Strategically speaking, this is a powerful offensive. state!
...
Dajin Tiancong Khan Huang Taiji, who was leading a large group of cavalry and a convoy on the way south, suddenly reined in his horse, raised his whip, pointed far ahead at an earthen city that had been abandoned for countless years and had mostly collapsed, and said to the left and right. : "This is it! Just occupy that earth city, and then go to the stronghold in front of the north-south road... Go to the hard stronghold!"
By the way, what is the name of this city? "
"Great Khan, the name of this city is Lilingyi." Taisong Dafujin took the question, "This was a post city of Kaiping Guards in the Ming Dynasty. It is about 60 miles away from Luotuo Mountain."
"Okay! Let's set up the stronghold here and wait for Wu Liangha's troops to march north!" Huang Taiji said, "We must build the stronghold more firmly... We must strengthen the stronghold and set up a defensive position to let Wu Liangha Come and attack.”
"Great Khan," Taisong Dafujin said, "my sister owns countless camels and horses, which come and go like the wind on the grassland. She may not be able to attack a stronghold, right?"
Huang Taiji smiled and said: "I am setting up the stronghold here, so I am not afraid that she will not come to fight... If she goes around, I will follow her and see how she defeats Yancheng. This is called the strategy of turning against the guests!"
