It has been raining non-stop since yesterday.
Ye Xian's mood was as gloomy and gloomy as the weather.
Recently, the Ming army has completely turned into a hedgehog. The habit of hedgehogs is to stay out at night, sleep in caves during the day, and come out to look for food at night.
And the hedgehogs are also piecemeal, wandering around looking for bugs to eat.
Now that it's better, the Ming army has also become like this: they stay in the impregnable camp during the day to recharge their batteries, and at night, they all come out to look for food.
The only difference is that hedgehogs eat bugs, while the Ming army eats the heads of Wala soldiers.
Moreover, the Ming army's way of 'foraging' was piecemeal, wandering around. However, there were too many Ming soldiers. As long as Oula's patrol sentries were a little further away from their own camp, they would always encounter enemies gathered together.
An unexplainable thing is that the Ming Emperor could afford a reward of one hundred taels per head, but he could not offer the same price. So the Ming army roared and charged forward, but the Wala soldiers were all dejected and disheartened.
Ye Xian himself felt that it was boring. In the current situation, without artillery, there was no way to blast the Ming army's formation head-on. A cavalry charge would simply lead to death.
After fighting for more than half a month, we didn't even touch the edge of the Beijing city wall. Now that the Supreme Emperor has run away, there is no point in continuing this battle.
So he first told the generals: "You start packing your luggage and luggage. After a day or two, when the arrangements are in place, we will retreat.
In addition, during the past two days, you have selected 20,000 of the most elite warriors and prepared to ambush them when the Ming army pursues them. "
I first thought that this arrangement would be enough, but I didn't know that the generals did not agree and would retreat today.
Because the Ming army's night attack was much more terrifying than Ye Xian had imagined. Nowadays, not only a large number of loyal, brave and chivalrous people participated in the night raids throughout the capital, but also quite a few nobles sent their elite servants to snatch their heads.
For the nobles, money or not is secondary. The key is that the head can change the emperor's attitude towards the nobles. If we don't grab this head, a large number of nobles will completely lose their Sacred Heart.
Some of the servants raised by the nobles were even more elite than the elite of the Ming army. Most of them were simply battle-hardened veterans who had retired from the elite frontier armies of the Ming Dynasty.
In this way, the patrol soldiers of Oala were all in trouble. It was late at night, and the advantages of the Oala cavalry could not be used at all.
Forget it, the weapons that Wala soldiers need to face are still very complicated, including regular Ming army firearms and crossbows. There are also all kinds of messy ways of the rangers and servants. Some used rope traps, and some used blunt objects to hit them. These people could think of any trick. It was like eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing their magical powers.
The soldiers were so unprepared that they didn't want to stay any longer and wanted to leave on the spot.
Fortunately, the Wala were originally a nomadic tribe, and they could always advance and retreat freely, coming and going like the wind. If you really want to leave, pack up in the morning and set off at noon.
He also glanced in the direction of Beijing City first and sighed heavily. Unexpectedly, he left so cowardly. The prestige he had just achieved in Shanxi was completely consumed outside Beijing in the blink of an eye.
The current situation is even worse than before Tumubao. At that time, at least Tuotaobuhua and Alazhiyuan were not separated from each other.
Now it's fine. The two of them were fooled by the Ming Emperor, and they all wanted to stand on their own.
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. Knowing that he could not defeat his men, he was ready to order an immediate withdrawal.
At this time, the soldiers came to report, and the envoys of the Ming Dynasty came again.
It happened that I had solved the siege first, and I was busy inviting people into the Chinese army's tent.
Not long after, Huang Pu walked in with a smile.
Ye first saw Huang Pu's face full of spring breeze, but he didn't know that Huang Pu was in high spirits during happy events. He thought he was gloating about his misfortune, so he asked with a cold face:
"Mr. Huang is so happy, is he about to be promoted?"
Huang Pu said with a smile: "It's all thanks to the Grand Master that the lower officials have the opportunity to fall into the eyes of the Holy Emperor and make some small contributions. Promotion is not necessarily possible, but the emperor's rewards are many.
Everything else was fine, except that the emperor had just gifted four stunning beauties to Xiaguan yesterday, which made it difficult for Xiaguan to endure. This night was more tiring than the month of studying hard in the cold window before passing the Jinshi exam.
Alas, now the official really understands the difficulties of the emperor and the supreme emperor. "
Huang Pu said this just to be angry on purpose. Anyway, the emperor could give daughters to ministers and marry generals, but even half-Han women were not allowed to be touched by Wala dignitaries.
When Ye Xian heard this, he was indeed furious, but it was difficult to get angry, but his whole face turned red.
Even Huang Pu felt that Ye Xian was a little pitiful. The emperor had run away, and Ye Xian's brothers were also dead. Even the traitor Xining followed the Emperor back to Datong.
Now only Ye Xian is left alone, facing the Ming Emperor's complete and capable military and political team.
Sympathy is sympathy, and business has to be discussed. Huang Pu said: "This official is here to inform the emperor on behalf of the emperor that his majesty has made adjustments to Meng Yuan's tribute qualifications in the future.
The Great Khan was able to send a delegation of 500 people to Beijing to pay tribute every year. And you, Alazhiyuan, and Boyan Timur can only send an envoy of three hundred people every year.
And you are strictly prohibited from purchasing ordnance or firearms from Daming in the future. "
After listening to it first, he suddenly stood up from his seat and shouted angrily at Huang Pu: "Don't bully others too much. Scholars can be killed but not humiliated. It is obvious that I have always been in front, and Tuo Tuo is just a puppet.
Why did the emperor put him in front of me now? "
Huang Pu kindly advised: "Master, please calm down Thunder's wrath. We have nothing to do. If the war is like this, we can only let the emperor have the final say in the future."
No matter how kind the official was, he revealed some secrets to the grand master. The emperor planned to wait for the grand master's army to retreat, then accept the Dayuan Jade Seal in Tuo Tuo Buhua's hand, obey the destiny, and personally serve as the Khan of Heaven to rule the entire northern grassland and western desert. .
Then he became the Great Khan of Mongolia and ruled the original Eastern Mongolia. Boyan Timur was named Great Khan of Oara and ruled Mongolia, which was the original sphere of influence of Oara.
As for the Grand Master, as long as you are willing to surrender, Your Majesty is willing to give you a mansion and make you a rich man in the south of the Yangtze River in the Ming Dynasty. "
Ye Xian couldn't stand it anymore: "Is the emperor crazy? He still wants to be the Khan of Heaven? Even a loser like Tuotuo Buhua cannot be so weak-minded as to regard the Emperor of Ming Dynasty as the Khan of Heaven.
Besides, what achievements does the new king of the Ming Dynasty have? Is he worthy of being the Khan of Heaven? This is too shameless, doesn't he blush? "
Huang Pu said with a smile: "It's not that Tuo Tuo Bu Hua is hopeless. It's just that Xuanzong and Sanyang insisted on keeping three generations of Taishi's ancestors in power. Tuo Tuo Bu Hua can't fight against the Ming Dynasty. There is no way but to compromise."
