"Mr. Hong, have you ever thought about slave thieves bypassing Shanhaiguan and attacking the Ming Dynasty from other places?" Liu Heng asked.
After hearing this, Hong Chengchou frowned and said: "The nearest way for slave thieves to enter the customs is Shanhaiguan. It is far away to go elsewhere. To the east is the sea. The slave thieves will definitely not be able to take the sea route without a navy. Then The only way left is to take the west route.”
"Dangerous passes like Shanhaiguan are difficult to conquer. In comparison, the Mongols are much easier to deal with." Liu Heng looked back and said to Zhao Wu in the room, "Go and get the Jiliao map."
Zhao Wu took a map from the bookshelf and laid it flat on the table.
The map is a map of the entire Jiliao area. It includes many parts of Monan and Mobei, including Baicheng and Qingcheng, which are clearly marked on it.
"Where did you get this map?" Hong Chengchou's eyes widened, completely attracted by the very detailed map in front of him.
Liu Heng said with a smile: "This is a map drawn by the Foreign Intelligence Bureau bit by bit. Look here, this represents the lake, and this thin line is the Dahei River on the grassland, and this one next to it is the Yinshan Mountain."
He tapped his fingers at several places around Qingcheng.
"The markings on the map are so clear. This is the first time Hong has seen such a detailed map." Hong Chengchou clicked his tongue.
I sighed in my heart, no wonder the tiger-character flag army was invincible and won consecutive battles. With such a clear and detailed map, it had already won the opponent by three points before fighting.
Liu Heng said with a smile: "There are many maps like this. Mr. Hong has stayed in Tiger Flag for a long time and will often see them in the future."
"To be honest, Hong has seen the maps of the Ming army and the maps of Si Yamen, the chief envoy. I am afraid that no such detailed and detailed map can be found in the entire Ming Dynasty." Hong Chengchou said with praise.
Liu Heng smiled.
He was very happy to be praised.
Moreover, the achievements of the Tiger Flag on the map deserve such praise.
In order to obtain such a detailed map, Tiger Flag spent a lot of manpower and material resources, and it also trained a lot of mapping professionals.
These mappers were sent to various places, looking with their eyes and measuring with their feet, and mapped out such detailed land bit by bit. Some mappers even lost their lives for such a map.
"Mr. Hong, look here." Liu Heng moved his fingers little by little on the land, "Now the five Khalkha tribes in Neka are left with the Bahrain tribe and the Zalut tribe. Once the army of slave thieves attacks the Mongolian tribes again, , the next target will be Hutuktu Khan’s Chahar Ministry.”
Hong Chengchou frowned and said: "Khutuktu Khan is also the Great Khan of the Mongolian Communist Party. The strength of the Chahar tribe is not weaker than that of other tribes. It will not be so easy for slave thieves to advance westward!"
The Mongolian tribes are old rivals of the Ming Dynasty. The wars between the two sides have lasted for more than two hundred years. There are still 3,000 nails in the broken ship. In his heart, even if the Mongols are not as good as slaves and thieves, they are not so easy to be slaves and thieves. Pack it away.
"The Mongols are far more weak and incompetent than imagined." Liu Heng said, "The Tiger Banner was founded on the basis of various tribes on the grassland, so it knows the tribes on the grassland best. Although the Chahar tribe is slightly stronger, it is far from being a slave. The best examples are Nekarka and Chaohua, their opponents.”
After Huang Taiji took over the throne of Khan, he found an excuse to use troops against Nekarkha. Now Nekarkha collapsed, leaving only the Bahrain and Jarut tribes.
Chaohua, the leader of the five Inner Khalkha tribes who once caused a headache to the Ming Dynasty, also died with the demise of the Inner Khalkha tribe.
Hong Chengchou hesitated for a moment and said: "If the slave thieves want to use troops against the Chahar tribe, Hutuktu Khan may move his tribe once he knows that he is no match for the slave thieves."
"That's right, and the Chahar tribe will most likely choose to move westward, and then they will directly face the Tiger Flag." Liu Heng said while looking at the map.
Historically, the Chahar tribe moved westward and occupied Qingcheng under the threat of slave thieves. He believed that Hutuktu Khan would definitely choose to move westward, otherwise the Chahar tribe would have to stay in Baicheng to deal with the invading slaves alone. thief.
Caught between the Tiger Banner and the slave thieves, the Chahar tribe can only choose one of them as its opponent.
Hong Chengchou raised his head and looked at Liu Heng and said, "Since my lord has anticipated the possibility of the Chahar tribe moving westward, he must have been prepared to deal with it?"
"There might be a way for Chahar's troops to survive when they go to Mobei. If they dare to come to Qingcheng, they will be hit hard." Liu Heng smiled at Hong Chengchou.
As early as a few years ago, Huzi Banner had received news that the Chahar tribe intended to move westward, so how could he not make preparations in advance.
Hong Chengchou secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Having decided to submit to the Tiger-Character Flag, we naturally don’t want anything to happen to the Tiger-Character Flag.
"After the slave thieves captured Inner Khalkha and drove the Chahar tribe away from Baicheng, the slave thieves could bypass Shanhaiguan and enter the Ming Dynasty to plunder." Liu Heng said, "The Ming army in Shanhaiguan already belongs to the Ming Dynasty. If they are elite, the Ming army in other places may not be able to resist the incoming army of slave thieves."
He knew that what he was talking about was what actually happened in history.
All the elite soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty gathered in Liaodong. The old and weak soldiers left in other towns could not stop the army of slaves and thieves. Facing the army of slaves and thieves plundering all parts of the Ming Dynasty, there was no way at all.
Cold sweat broke out on Hong Chengchou's forehead.
He himself is a person who understands military affairs, and also understands internal affairs. He deeply knows that once the army of slave thieves crosses Shanhaiguan, Ming's defense line will become useless in front of the slave thieves.
More importantly, after the slave thieves plundered and destroyed the territory of Ming Dynasty, the originally weak Ming Dynasty became even weaker.
"It seems that Mr. Hong can also guess what the Ming Dynasty will face next?" Liu Heng looked at the sweat on Hong Chengchou's forehead and believed that the other party had already believed that the slave thieves would enter the Ming Dynasty by bypassing Shanhaiguan.
Hong Chengchou raised his right arm, gently wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said in his mouth: "The slave thieves are a group of robbers. Once they are allowed to enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty people will probably live in empty houses wherever they go. Corpses litter the fields.”
"If the Ming Dynasty is incompetent, the people will naturally be affected." Liu Heng sighed lightly.
When a country weakens, its people will naturally fall into war and be oppressed by foreigners abroad. This has been the case since ancient times.
"Can you prevent slave thieves from entering the Ming Dynasty? The Zhu family dynasty may be destroyed, but the people are innocent." Hong Chengchou stared at Liu Heng with bright eyes.
He has not yet become a traitor, but he still retains a conscience towards the Han people and does not want to see the Han people bullied by foreigners.
Liu Heng said: "If we want to prevent the slave thieves from bypassing the mountains and seas and entering the territory of the Ming Dynasty, either the Chahar tribe can withstand the army of slave thieves, or the Ming Dynasty itself will send more elites to the important towns on all sides, especially if the slave thieves are likely to enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty." Several places must be guarded by heavy troops in advance."
