In the camp of the slaves and thieves, Huang Taiji sat high in a tent that was larger than the others.
To his left sat Erbeil Daishan, and to his right sat Amin.
In front of them, stood a group of Baile, the slave generals who were fighting this time, and the Taiji generals of Horqin's tribe.
Huang Taiji's eyes swept over the people in front of him one by one, and finally his eyes fell on several Mongolian Taijis. He said: "In the past few days, the outposts of various ministries have been fighting with the Chahar tribe's sentries. Next, we will fight with the Chahar tribe's sentries." This battle of the Har tribe will be left to Mangus and Budaqi of the Horqin tribe."
The two men mentioned are both tribal leaders of the Horqin tribe.
"Tiancong Khan wants us to deal with Hutuktu Khan and the Chahar tribe on our own?" Mangus frowned.
After hearing this, Huang Taiji smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's not just your Horqin tribe. We, the Dajin Society, will send Xianglan Banner to deal with the Chahar tribe with you."
As he spoke, he looked at Amin in his seat.
Amin didn't say anything, but acquiesced to Huang Taiji's words.
They had already discussed the countermeasures before gathering people into the big tent. Xianglan Banner assisted the Horqin tribe in dealing with Hutuktu Khan and his Chahar tribe.
"Aren't the other banners of Tiancong Khan sent out together?" Mangus asked, slightly annoyed in his heart.
The Horqin Tribe is not an opponent of the Chahar Tribe. Now, let the Horqin Tribe deal with the Chahar Tribe alone. Even with the help of Amin's Xianglan Banner, it will only be the Horqin Tribe who will suffer heavy losses in the end.
Huang Taiji saw the dissatisfaction in Mangus's face from his face, and patiently explained: "It's not that Ben Khan and other banners did not send troops, but to deal with the army of tiger thieves behind the Chahar tribe. The Chahar tribe We have already formed an alliance with the tiger thieves, and if I use all my troops to deal with the Chahar tribe, it will inevitably give the tiger thieves an opportunity to take advantage of, and even the possibility of a major defeat."
The reason why he patiently explained to him was not that he respected Mangus, the father-in-law, but that he and Dajin needed Horqin as an ally.
With this explanation, Manggus's face relaxed a lot.
Huang Taiji looked at him and continued: "In recent days, the tiger thieves have come again with a cavalry force of more than 10,000 people. Together with the army already here, the strength is no less than the soldiers and horses brought by this Khan, so check The war in Hal’s department will take a lot of hard work.”
In the several small-scale battles between Daijin and the Tiger Banner, Daikin never took advantage, so he always regarded the Tiger Banner as Daijin's opponent, while he did not pay too much attention to Hutuktu Khan and the Chahar tribe. Keep it in mind.
A person who doesn't even want to go back to his hometown when he sees the golden flag, even if he is known as the Great Khan of the Communist Party of Mongolia, such a person is not worthy of being his opponent.
Therefore, he was not prepared to put too much energy into the Chahar Department, but mainly focused on the Tiger Flag.
In his opinion, the future hegemony on the grassland will only be divided between Daijin and Tiger Flag.
After some arrangements, except for Huang Taiji and the two political Belles who stayed, the other Belles and generals left the tent one after another.
"Amin, I'll leave the Chahar department to you. We must not give him another chance to escape." Huang Taiji stared at Amin and said.
After some suppression, the strength of Amin and Xianglanqi has been weakened a lot, but Huang Taiji is still worried about Amin and is always on guard against Amin.
"Don't worry, Great Khan. Hutuktu Khan will definitely not be able to escape this time. I will also seize Dayuan's jade seal and give it to the Great Khan." Amin is not a fool like Mang Gurtai, and he knows what Huang Taiji cares about most. .
Seeing that Amin understood what he meant, Huang Taiji warned again: "The flag soldiers of the Xianglan Banner are not as numerous as the soldiers and horses of several Mongolian tribes. This battle is still dominated by Manggus and the Mongolian Taiji. Your blue flag is to assist and ensure its final victory."
"I understand." Amin nodded.
Weakening the strength of the Horqin tribe does not conflict with defeating the Chahar tribe.
Huang Taiji could see clearly.
After Dajin defeats the Chahar tribe, and then eliminates the Tiger Flag forces entrenched on the grassland, the entire grassland will be embraced by Dajin. By then, there will be no need for particularly powerful tribes on the grassland, and no tribes will be allowed. Unifying the various ministries and only checking and balancing each other is more in line with Daikin's interests.
"Second brother!" Huang Taiji looked at Daishan and said, "The Chahar tribe will be handed over to the blue flag, and the troops and horses of the tiger flag will be handed over to the second brother. Your two red flags, I will let you two white flags The Duoduo and Dorgon flags as well as the Dege class with the Zhenglan flag cooperate with the two red flags.”
With the Tiger Character Banner occupying Pidao and Lushun, only Jierhalang originally stayed in Shengjing, but now there is an additional Mongolian Ertai from the Zhenglan Banner.
Even so, Huang Taiji still brought the bannermen of the Eight Banners, and the Zhenglan Banner was commanded by De Gelei, a small banner leader.
Daishan asked: "Does the Great Khan want to deal with the tiger bandit's troops?"
"I am dissatisfied with my second brother. My idea is to defeat the Chahar tribe and force the defeated troops of the Chahar tribe to flee to the tiger bandits. Then my second brother will take the two red flags and several other flags to cover them up and defeat the tiger bandits in one fell swoop. The thieves' soldiers and horses." Huang Taiji expressed his plan.
Dai Shan pondered for a moment and then said: "If this method works, the tiger thieves will be dragged down by the Chahar tribe. The difficulty is how to get the broken troops to attack the tiger thieves' camp."
Having been in battle for a long time, he could see the key points of Huang Taiji's method at a glance.
"Originally, I was not sure about this, but since I learned about the alliance between Hutuktu Khan and the tiger bandits, it has just made up for this problem. Now everyone in the Chahar tribe should know about their alliance. Once the army is defeated, they will definitely Run away towards the tiger thief." Huang Taiji said with a chuckle.
Daishan said: "Now that everything is ready, leave it to me to deal with the tiger thieves. As long as the tens of thousands of tiger thieves on the grassland are cleared away, the tiger thieves will be severely weakened and can only huddle in the grassland." Xuanda dare not come to the grassland again."
The war against the Chahar tribe soon began.
In other words, Huang Taiji had no time to waste here.
A thousand-mile raid places great demands on the army's logistics. After all, an army of slave thieves is not like the Mongols. It is normal for ordinary Mongolian soldiers in the army not to have enough to eat.
But in order to ensure combat effectiveness, the slave thieves must ensure that no regular soldier has a full stomach. Even the Han soldiers can eat until they are seven or eight full, and even the lowest-level slave soldiers will remain half full. Not so hungry that he can't even carry his master's armor.
As a result, the demand for logistics is even greater.
Although some supplies were replenished from some wiped out grassland tribes along the way, this was far from enough for an army of tens of thousands.
In order to ensure that the army would not be hindered by insufficient food and grass, Huang Taiji had to ensure that he marched quickly until he entered the Ming Dynasty.
Neither Liaodong nor the grasslands were rich, but the Ming Dynasty was the only one who was rich and could ensure the expenses of the army and obtain considerable benefits.
This has been proven since they captured Ming cities one after another in Liaodong.
If you want to be rich, go to Ming Dynasty.
