"What your Majesty is saying is that the Hu people don't know enough about our Ming Dynasty. They are afraid that they still think that our Ming Dynasty has no intention to attack. Just like the Central Plains Dynasty in the past, it lost its enterprising spirit after a hundred or two hundred years. They will only defend their achievements, but in fact, today’s Ming Dynasty is the era of the ZTE, and the soldiers are well-prepared, and there are piles of grain and weapons in the warehouse waiting to be consumed by conquests.”
Privy Council envoy Xiong Tingbi took over Zhu Youxiao's words and said.
"Ma Shilong, Zhao Lijiao, and Man Gui have led their cavalry out of the Miyun rear guard and marched in the direction of Hushiha. Based on the information provided by the Jinyi Guards, they raided the place where Lin Dan Batur (Lin Dan Khan's name) Khan's tent is stationed. In this way As soon as he comes, Lindan Batur will definitely flee in a hurry, and his hasty escape will inevitably cause his morale to plummet and prepare him for the subsequent defeat of all the Tatar tribes!"
Qin Liangyu also followed suit.
"Lindan Batur will definitely be very angry because of this, and start to suspect that someone around him has been bribed by us. I am afraid that even Feng Quan will be suspected by him."
Yuan Keli also replied at this time.
Xiong Tingbi nodded, and then said to Zhu Youxiao with some worry: "I am still worried that Ma Shilong and the others will take advantage of the situation after raiding the location of the Chahar tribe (a tribe directly controlled by Lin Dan Khan) and try to To expand the results of the battle, there are more than 100,000 cavalry under Lin Dan Batur's command. Once he regains his composure, it is easy to annihilate Ma Shilong and other cavalry. Although we have reminded Ma Shilong to withdraw quickly after the assault, there is no guarantee that he, Ma Shilong, will still be the winner. He fell into Lindan Batur's trap. After all, Lindan Batur can now become the overlord of the grassland, so we should not underestimate him."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked Yuan Keli, Qin Liangyu and other commanders who were good at fighting: "What do you think of this?"
Yuan Ke immediately said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, you can ask Wang Zaijin to stop transporting grain and grass to Ma Shilong and others for half a month, so that Ma Shilong and others will have to withdraw."
"Yes! Just do this, and send another edict to Ma Shilong, telling him not to get too hot-headed and chase him all the way to the vast sea! Our real purpose is to take advantage of the raid on Lin Dan Batur to regain Daning Wei, and mined coal in the Yuanbaoshan area that Jinyiwei had already surveyed, instead of capturing Talindan Batur alive. The Tatars are nomadic people who live in fixed places, and both men and women, old and young, are good at riding, so it is very difficult to pursue and annihilate them. , we should build cities and open roads in order to gradually encroach and eventually assimilate these Tatars."
Because people in the Ming Dynasty all called the eastern Mongolian tribes Tatars, so Zhu Youxiao followed the local customs and called these eastern Mongolians Tatars.
The Daning mentioned by Zhu Youxiao was the Daning Guard established by the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu Period. It was located in today's Chifeng area of Inner Mongolia. It was later abandoned during the Yongle Period.
Hanhai is the Gobi Desert to the north.
The territory that Zhu Youxiao occupied in order to capture the Tatars was the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Before that, he asked the Jinyiwei to train some Jinyiwei captains who were good at identifying minerals, and then went into various places outside the Great Wall to survey the minerals, as a valuable resource for the Ming Dynasty in the future. territory.
Zhu Youxiao knew that there was a large open-pit coal mine in the Yuanbaoshan area of Daningwei in later generations, so he asked Jinyiwei to survey the specific location of the coal mine in this area in advance, and intended to let Ma Shilong and others raid the Tatars this time. Set up Daningwei and develop this mineral resource.
After all, it is close to the capital and can more conveniently provide energy to the capital's steam engine manufacturing base.
In order to regain the Daning Guard and restore the territory of the Ming Dynasty to its heyday, or even beyond its peak, Zhu Youxiao specially decreed the establishment of the Chief Secretary of Daning, and included all the areas of the former Peking and Parallel Capital Division under the Chief Secretary of Daning.
…
at this time.
Mantao'er area.
A large number of Ming cavalry wearing red cloth armor began to appear on the southern horizon, spreading like brilliant fireworks, devouring the grassland crazily.
These are all cavalry led by Ma Shilong, Zhao Lijiao and Mangui. Their purpose is to raid the Tatar Chahar tribe who are always ready to plunder the Ming Dynasty and come here.
Ma Shilong was the prime minister of this raid and personally led 10,000 frontier cavalry.
At the same time, the two generals Zhao led Jiao and Mangui also led 10,000 cavalry each, totaling 30,000 cavalry.
The 30,000 cavalry they led were all the elite of the Ming Dynasty's frontier army. They were the result of Zhu Youxiao's active military expansion and training since he came to the throne.
At this moment, these Ming cavalrymen were all holding swords forged from fine steel and mounted flintlock guns equipped with flintlock devices, and they were charging towards the Chahar tribe that was temporarily stationed in the Mantaoer area.
The speed was very fast, and almost in the blink of an eye, the Tatar tents in this area were completely submerged.
Because he wanted to plunder the Ming Dynasty at any time, he left Baicheng early and arrived at Lin Dan Khan, who originally belonged to the territory of the North Parallel Capital of the Ming Dynasty, and his tent was full at this time.
Therefore, after listening to Sommer's report, Lin Danhan soon felt the earth shaking like thunder.
Lin Danhan did not have time to be angry with Zhu Youxiao, and had to make a quick decision because of this. He ordered Sommer, who had just come to inform him of the news: "You lead people to block these Ming army cavalry, and after we leave, go to They rushed in the direction of Datong and made a show of fleeing along the way, throwing their armor and scimitars on the road to show off their troops."
With that said, Lin Danhan ordered the two men, Naomao Da Da and Na Mo, "Let's withdraw immediately!"
Then, Lin Danhan picked up his scimitar, threw the curtain out, and immediately took the war horse from his own soldiers, then mounted the war horse and headed west, not even caring about his wife and children.
The Mongols live a nomadic life, so their families are all brought together, and they are basically concentrated in the base camp behind their army, which is where Lin Dan Khan's own sweat tent is located.
At this time, the Ming cavalry had already started to kill the Tatars outside the sweat tent. The blades were flying like shining stars, jumping up and down, and in an instant, they chopped a Tatar to the ground.
Because the Ming cavalry appeared too quickly, and most of these Tatars were still resting in their tents, especially the Tatar nobles, and there were only a small number of ordinary Tatars patrolling outside, so the Tatar cavalry could not immediately organize a counterattack. Most of them were killed by the Ming Dynasty cavalry who raided them.
The steel used in the swords used by the Ming Dynasty cavalry is made of alloy steel using the crucible steel-making method. In addition, Song Yingxing promoted the technique of frying wicker steel, which kept the carbon content of the alloy steel at a standard more suitable for chopping. And because the iron ore used by the Ming Dynasty to manufacture ordnance was high-quality iron ore purchased from overseas, these horse-cutting knives were extremely sharp. Basically, if they were slashed with one knife, a big gap would immediately appear on both the man and the horse, and it would not stop. The ground is bleeding, and the powerful and powerful cavalry even like to chop off the heads of horses or people with their swords.
Therefore, when the Mingqi with flying hooves charged, countless Tatar heads or horse heads were like rain, falling in large and small pieces into the fiery red torrent.
But shortly after Lin Danhan left, Sommer organized more than 5,000 Mongolian cavalry to fight against Ma Shilong.
Seeing this, Ma Shilong and other Ming cavalry immediately stopped killing the surrounding Mongols, gathered together, and charged towards the Mongolian cavalry.
As soon as they got close, these Ming cavalrymen took up their mounts and fired at these Mongolian cavalrymen with flintlock rifles.
boom!
boom!
boom!
A sound like popping beans sounded.
