Tumen Khan failed to understand Burihatu's statement. What does it mean that "naturalization is only the naturalization of Tumote, while Zhongdu is the Zhongdu of Yuan Dynasty"? And what does this have to do with high pragmatic ambition?
Fortunately, Burihatu seemed to see Tumen Khan's confusion, so he continued to explain: "To naturalize and canonize the king of Shunyi, at most, it only recognizes Chechen Khan's status in Tumote. It is also a recognition of his influence on the right wing." Mongolia’s actual control, but if it is in Zhongdu, it has a more profound purpose.”
He paused and said: "Zhongdu is one of the four capitals of the Yuan Dynasty. Except for the Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and the Great Khan of all Mongolia, how can the khans of other ministries be canonized there? Gao Pragmatic deliberately went against the grain. Doesn't the real far-reaching purpose of this move imply that Chechen Khan should rule the entire Mongolia in the future? Is the Great Khan still indifferent to such a move?"
What! He actually wanted to support Tumed Chechen Khan as the Great Khan of all Mongolia?
Tumen Khan suddenly became furious: "How dare you bully me, little kid with a yellow mouth!"
Burihatu remained silent, while the furious Tumen Khan walked around in the tent like a trapped animal.
After a while, Tumen Khan suddenly stopped, turned to Burihatu and said: "Burhatu Taiji, do you still think that we should win the big game first to win the city?"
Burihatu said hesitantly: "I am still a little hesitant."
"There is nothing to hesitate about!" Tumen Khan said loudly: "The people of Ming Dynasty do not take Ben Khan seriously. If they don't give them a lesson, where is the majesty of Ben Khan? According to Ben Khan's idea, we should now Send troops directly to Shacheng and capture Gao Pragmatic and cut him into pieces! If not, it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"
Burihatu was not frightened by Tumen Khan's rage, but said with a troubled face: "But Shacheng is too close to Zhangjiakou. If the Khan's troops invade Shacheng, what if the Ming army goes out?"
Tumen Khan laughed angrily: "The Ming army is leaving the fortress? Ha, I wish they were leaving the fortress! On the grassland, will I be afraid of the Ming army? How can these Han people fight when they don't have a strong city to rely on!"
Burihatu was still hesitant and reminded: "But we have analyzed it before. There is a high possibility that Han Naji's escape to the south is to lure us south to set up an ambush, if he cooperates with the Ming army."
Tumen Khan said loudly: "If I don't know about setting up an ambush, then it's called setting up an ambush. I already know it. How can he set up an ambush? Besides, we can see hundreds of miles from this grassland. No matter how much they set up an ambush, they can still lay an ambush." Could it be that Ben Khan’s 60,000-strong army was surrounded?”
Er, this seems to make some sense?
After thinking about it for a while, Burihatu actually agreed with this statement. He nodded slowly and said, "That's the same reason."
Tumen Khan immediately waved his hand: "Okay, don't think too much about this matter. It is indeed important to win the big board to rise to the city, but before taking the big board to rise to the city, I must first go and meet with this Ming Ming." The plenipotentiary envoy of human beings, look at how much this number one scholar weighs, and how audacious he is!"
If future generations were to describe Tumen Khan's current state of mind, it would probably be, "If I don't beat you until your face blossoms, you won't know why the flowers are so red!"
Burihatu also felt the anger from the heart of the Tumen Great Khan, and now that the Great Khan has spoken, he can no longer persuade you. Are you looking down on the elite combat effectiveness of our Chahar tribe?
Therefore, Burihatu had no choice but to do the next best thing and reluctantly said: "In that case, please send more scouting horses when the Great Khan goes south, and be sure to find out the location and bnbs of Han Naji's headquarters in advance, and never give them to them. Taking the back road"
"Ben Khan knows how to fight!" Tumen Khan's temper was rising at this time, and any doubt about his strength was like a spark thrown into the frying pan.
Burihatu had no choice but to shut up.
There was no point in talking any more. Burihatu sighed in his heart and stood up to leave. Tumen was furious and waved his hand to let him leave.
At the same time, Gao Pragmatic, who was in Shacheng, had just returned from inspecting the city defenses and was talking to Cao Gan, Ma Gui and others.
"I demonstrated the method of building a city with cement in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor ten years ago. It seems that there has been some progress in the past ten years. Although a lot of cement was wasted in reinforcing the city defense this time, the Over the past few days, Shacheng has finally ceased to look like the dilapidated ruins it once was." For details, see Volume 2 "Guan Jinghua" in this book, Chapter 101 "Beijing Infrastructure".
Ma Gui praised: "We have used the cement city building method at the border for ten years and reinforced at least thousands of miles of city walls. The effect has always been very good. It is much better than using glutinous rice to ram earth. It is cheap and strong. Today The actual measurement also confirmed this. Although Shacheng is dilapidated, after the city wall is reinforced with cement, it is absolutely impossible to be attacked from the front unless it is bombarded by hundreds of general cannons."
Hundreds of general cannons were bombarding each other in turn. This was obviously an exaggeration, but since the opponent was the Mongolian Chahar tribe, it didn't matter, because they couldn't have hundreds of general cannons. Let alone them, even with the Ming army's own level of firearms, it would not be easy to gather hundreds of general cannons.
Gao pragmatically smiled and said nothing.
He is now a "Shangguan", and it doesn't matter if the people below him praise him, but he himself cannot get carried away.
So instead he turned to praise Cao Gan and said, "I am very satisfied with the performance of Jinghua Trading Company this time. It is not easy to mobilize so many materials from Zhangjiakou and arrange the construction. Thank you for your hard work."
Cao Gan felt warm in his heart, but his tone was very humble: "Thank you for your praise, sir. In fact, this is all thanks to my arrangement in advance, especially the choice of Shacheng as the main battlefield. It was a stroke of genius. Although the old Yuanzhongdu was burned down, these Finally, most of the city wall has been preserved, and the master has gathered so many troops here to help with the construction."
Gao pragmatic smiled, waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, you all have made great contributions this time. Cao Gan is our internal affairs in Jinghua, but there is a performance comparison to reward General Ma. When the time comes, my envoy will personally report your merits to General Ma. The emperor declares."
Both of them smiled and thanked.
Ma Gui added: "Now let's see if Tumen will fall into the trap."
Cao Gan said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. My master is clever and clever. How can Tumen's little tricks escape my master's calculations? This time he will definitely go south to Shacheng and get bloody. Otherwise, Let him allow Han Naji to accept canonization in the old Yuan Dynasty, how can he, the Great Khan of Mongolia, do it safely?"
Ma Gui said hurriedly: "Needless to say, Gao Shizhong's miraculous calculations, I'm just afraid that Tumen will be stupid, but don't understand the meaning of seizing Hanna Ji in Zhongdu, it will be a bit embarrassing."
Gao pragmatic shook his head and said: "Tumen is not stupid. If he was stupid, he would not have chosen to continue the Western Expedition after Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang sent troops. Since he can choose to continue the Western Expedition regardless of the rear, it shows that he knows Tumut well. The importance to Mongolia, in other words, he can be regarded as a far-sighted person, such a person will not fail to see the inner meaning of this matter."
"That's it." Ma Gui then understood and said sincerely: "Your Majesty is really knowledgeable about Mongolia. As long as we really win the battle of Shacheng this time, the Mongols will be suffocated for ten years at worst."
Gao pragmatically smiled and said nothing.
Ten years of being out of breath?
Ma Gui's strategic thinking is still a bit lacking, and his vision is still too limited.
The Battle of Shacheng is important, but it is only a component of the entire Monan strategy. In fact, once the entire Monan strategy is fully successful, the Mongols will be like a noose around their necks, and Ming Dynasty will let him die whenever he wants. , just kick the stool under his feet.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic feels that there is no need to be too anxious about kicking off the stool. What he wants is a Mongolia with basically complete strength, not a Mongolia that has been beaten into a mess and whose strength is greatly damaged. Therefore, after this great victory, it is enough to force Tumen to bow to reality through other methods, but there is no need to kill a Mongol Khan to kill him. In addition to earning a great contribution for his high pragmatism, the only choice is Inflicting hatred on the Ming Dynasty will not do any good for ruling Mongolia in the future.
great merit?
Gao pragmatically curled his lips and thought a little reservedly in his heart: What is so difficult for someone like me, Gao, to achieve great success? But what I want is not temporary success, but eternal success.
Thanks to book friends "lich", "dust", "pn", and "golden hair 1" for their monthly ticket support, thank you! The missed updates caused by yesterday's power outage will probably take several days to make up, because as I said before, I'm a bit busy these days.
