Faced with Boyan Timur's questions, some of his inner thoughts cannot be said directly.
In fact, Daming is not the only one who is good at internal fighting.
From the generation of Kublai Khan until now, the internal fighting in Meng Yuan has been much more fierce than that in Ming Dynasty.
In order to focus on internal fighting, Dayuan did not have the time to rule the Han people well, and even reached the point where the imperial power did not extend to the counties. The management of the people was not much different from herding sheep. After less than a hundred years of internal fighting like this, Genghis Khan's descendants abandoned the old capital of the Yuan Dynasty and returned to the grasslands to ride horses and herd cattle.
Taking the current situation as an example, although I have the idea of recovering the old capital of the Yuan Dynasty first, I firmly believe that before fighting against the outside world, we must first settle down at home:
Consider the strength comparison of today's Mongolian dignitaries. Ye Xian's headquarters has an army of 70,000, and his brothers have a total of 40,000 troops. In addition, Alazhiyuan has 30,000 people, and Tuotuofuohua has 30,000 people.
Therefore, Ye Xian does not have an absolutely overwhelming advantage over other departments. Once two families join forces to fight Ye Xian, it will also be very difficult for Ye Xian.
I first thought like this: Suppose, if Alazhiyuan supports Boyan Timur to replace him, then the two of them will have an army of fifty thousand. Tomorrow, the emperor will dispatch an army of one hundred thousand to support the two. This will be ten With an army of 50,000, twice as many as his own troops, he would instantly fall into unprecedented passivity.
The same is true for the other three brothers. If the three Polo brothers unite with Alazhiyuan to rebel against themselves, it will be equally difficult.
Or Boyan Timur united with Alazhiyuan and Tuotuobuhua, and the three rebelled together. That would be even greater fun.
In fact, what he had imagined in advance was not wrong at all. Zhu Qiyu had secretly formed an alliance with Totuo Buhua and Alazhiyuan, and the two of them had a total of 60,000 troops.
Now, as long as any one of Ye Xian's four younger brothers betrays the enemy, the anti-Yexian alliance within Mongolia will have the same strength as Yesian's headquarters.
Then Zhu Qiyu dispatches another 100,000 troops, which will form an absolute military advantage. At that time, he might as well just rebel against his relatives.
So now, he secretly cooperated with Zhu Qiyu to play the show: first, he ordered the three Polo brothers to lead their troops and camp five miles west of Yuantu City; then, when 130,000 Ming troops came out of the city to form an array, neither Actively attacking the Ming army to relieve Polo's siege, he did not allow Polo's troops to withdraw and joined forces with the main force of Oara.
First, he deliberately used the soldiers and horses of the three Polo brothers to test Zhu Qiyu: if Polo won, he would accept it; if Polo suffered a setback and his troops were weakened, he would accept it.
Anyway, it doesn't matter, as long as the fellow Taoist is dead and not a poor Taoist.
Boyan Timur did not understand the mystery, and kept asking Ye Xian.
Ye Xian had no choice but to say perfunctorily: "With the combat power of our Wala cavalry, the Ming army cannot defeat Polo's 20,000 troops. Let's let Polo adapt to the situation. He is a prestigious Iron Marshal. We must have confidence in him."
After that, he stopped talking and quietly watched the Ming army's next move.
Now the Ming army has dispatched a total of five battalions. The main force of Shi Heng's five battalions is to contain the main force. Sun Boring's three thousand battalions and Liu Ju's four guards of Yumajian, a total of 20,000 people, are threatening the south of Shi Heng. flank.
The 30,000 new troops who had just left the city were responsible for separating the armies of Ye Xian and Polo.
Xu Heng, the Marquis of Xing'an, led three troops of 10,000 people in a pin-shaped formation, pressing on Polo's army step by step. This army is the main attacking force of the Ming army this time.
The three Polo brothers obviously did not realize this, and they all believed that the Ming army was bluffing. After Polo sent his men to ask Ye Xian for instructions, the answer he received was that he could wait for the opportunity and act expediently. It is up to the three Polo brothers to decide whether to fight or not.
Polo asked the two brothers next to him for their opinions, and the reply they received was that Polo would have full control.
The most important thing in fighting is the unification of military orders. After obtaining the absolute command of the 20,000 troops, Polo ordered the soldiers to stop camping and the entire army to assemble.
Then the 20,000-strong army was first divided into 5,000 men, blocking the 30,000 Ming army who had just left the city to protect the flanks of the army.
The remaining people were divided into five teams, each with 3,000 people. They could take turns to charge at any time just waiting for Polo's order.
Boluo is also a fierce general in the Oara army. He has experienced hundreds of battles and made many military exploits. His commanding ability is first-rate.
But Zhu Qiyu still grasped a fatal weakness of Polo: that is, Polo had a very big misunderstanding. He greatly underestimated the power of the Ming army's artillery.
There was no such misunderstanding in Ye Xian's knowledge, but Ye Xian deliberately did not remind Polo.
So Zhu Qiyu successfully found a breakthrough by taking advantage of the subtle psychology of the Walaqi brothers.
Xu Heng, Marquis of Xing'an, Wang Tong, Marquis of Chengshan, Fan Guang, Xu Tong, Gu Zhong and other close associates were all doubtful of Zhu Qiyu's judgment. However, based on the principle of unifying general orders, several people still insisted on implementing Zhu Qiyu's decision.
The most specific manifestation is that all Ming troops have not fired a single shot so far. It was to prevent Polo from having the opportunity to know the range and power of the Ming army's artillery.
This strategy finally worked, thanks to Sanyang. During Sanyang's rule, he always focused on helping Oara to eliminate Atai Khan and Arutai. As a result, there was no formal war between Oara and the Ming army until July this year.
Since July this year, there have been three major battles between Oara and the Ming army.
But thanks to Sanyang's unparalleled border appeasement policy, there was a great rebellion in Luchuan in the southwest and a miners' uprising in the southeast. Zhu Qizhen transferred most of the elite Ming troops to the south to quell the rebellion.
As a result, although Wala fought three great victories, they fought only second- and third-rate troops of the Ming army. And they were all ambushes carried out with the cooperation of intelligence from some traitors and traitors in the local Ming army in Shanxi. Since it was all a surprise attack, the Ming army's firearms had no chance to show their power. The battle was over before the artillery was set up.
Therefore, although Boluo had experienced hundreds of battles and made numerous achievements, and had won the title of "Iron Marshal" within Oara, he had never fought against the elite troops of the Ming army who had sufficient firearms. The combat power shown by the Ming army in the three battles at , Yanghekou and Yaoerling was transferred to the Ming army in front of them.
So after Zhu Qiyu learned about the location of Wala's camp, he couldn't help but want to laugh. Polo chose to camp five miles west of Yuantu City, which was actually within the artillery coverage of Yuantu City.
But no one told Polo, not even for now. Zhu Qiyu didn't tell Polo, so he was kept in the dark.
While Bo Luo was highly nervous and observing the battlefield all the time, Zhu Qiyu was taking a leisurely nap with his two concubines, Ningxiang and Linglong, in his arms. Moreover, Zhu Qiyu took a very long nap and had to sleep until the sun was almost setting.
