Tumen Khan came indeed bravely.
Of course, the great Zasaktu Khan himself did not feel that he was here to step on a minefield. He felt that his chances of winning were still very high, because according to his and Burihatu's calculations, although the number of troops in Shacheng may not be small now, But there is a big trouble, that is, the lack of a "main force" and a core.
To regard Han Naji as an ambitious man who hopes to "usurp the throne" seems to Tumen Khan to be too short-sighted, because he did not bring all the main forces with him when he went on the expedition, but he actually divided his troops during his march south this time. Wan goes to pick up the bride!
It is not that the marriage itself is incomprehensible, but it would be too stupid to divide the troops into ten thousand. This will make Han Naji's headquarters lose its advantage among the troops that may be gathered in Shacheng - in other words, all the troops that may be gathered in Shacheng will be You have ten thousand and I have several thousand, but we lack a Dinghai Shenzhen that can serve as a stable central army.
This is a taboo, so Tumen Khan feels that his chances of winning are quite good.
However, when he arrived outside Shacheng in person, he slowly frowned.
Damn it, didn't you say that Sand City is just some ruins? Why does this city look like the legendary Zhongdu? Look at those city walls. They are very impressive. They are no worse than Guangning. Forgive this Mongolian Khan. The largest "strong city" he has seen before is just the garrison of Li Chengliang. , Guangning Town, Liaodong.
As for Guangning, because Li Chengliang preferred to take the initiative, its own city defense construction lagged behind the cities in the "West" border under the "West Huai East System" policy.
If Tumen Khan were allowed to see the city defense of Datong, he would know why when Anda Khan was so powerful, he could only look at the city and sigh when facing Datong. He would rather intimidate Yanjing than consider taking Datong at all. , Xuanfu and other places.
Burihatu had seen how strong Xuanda's defense line was, so when he saw the newly renovated Shacheng - or the Yuanzhong capital wall, although he frowned, he was not too shocked.
However, Tumen Khan felt some sweat on his forehead and asked hesitantly: "Burihatutaiji, what's going on with this city? Didn't it say that Zhongdu has only ruins long ago? Why can't I look at it? Like?" The computer version is updated the fastest on the Internet:/
Burihatu frowned and shook his head and sighed: "The Ming Dynasty built a city that was unparalleled in the world. I have been to this sand city many times. It was really dilapidated at the beginning. Now it is only more than a month away from Gao Pingshi's entry into Mongolia. I'm afraid that the real repair time for this sand city is less than a month. Why it can be built like this, I can't say. But... maybe it's just an illusion."
"Is it just what it looks like?" Tumen Khan looked at it carefully, then shook his head after a while and said: "This Khan doesn't look like it. Take a closer look at the mottled city walls. Some of them are old masonry, and they have turned yellow or even black. , and the other newly renovated places are azure -
I know this thing. The hollow enemy towers built by Qi Jiguang on the Jiliao defense line used a lot of this material. This material is called cement. It is a unique material in Beijing and it is very strong. According to Ben Khan's experience, it cannot be broken without Ming people's red cannons and general cannons. "
A large part of the cement produced in Jinghua is used to build city defenses at the border. The imperial court has invested hundreds of thousands of taels in this every year for many years. The least one year is 370,000 taels, nearly 400,000, and the most one year is even as high as 70,000 taels. One hundred thousand taels (the year when the most hollow enemy towers were built), so not to mention that Tumen Khan knew cement, Buriha Tu knew it very well.
They all know something about the strength of cement city walls. Although the sand city in front of them only used cement to block the broken walls and reinforced some places that may not be stable, but for Tumen Khan, this was enough.
Because Tumen Khan originally only planned to defeat Han Naji in a field battle, and did not prepare for any tough battles. Even for Guihua City and Daban Sheng City, Tumen Khan's plan at that time was to defeat Han Naji's main force in a field battle. Siege - the wealth in the city is also the target of the Great Khan. Who gets it if it is destroyed?
At this time, Mongolia was no longer what it was back then. Its ability to attack fortresses was already poor, and Tumen was unprepared. It was even more difficult to capture the fortified sand city.
What made him feel as if he had eaten a fly was that he could not tell how many people were in the city outside Shacheng City, and the soldiers guarding the city, no matter which gate they were in, all seemed to be out-and-out Ming troops.
Where are Tumut's cavalry? Staying in the city? But what's the use of cavalry huddled in the city?
What made him even more annoyed was Han Naji's attitude. Could it be that Han Naji, a member of the golden family, really planned to make a fool of himself under Akito's wings!
When Anda declared himself a vassal to the Ming Dynasty, Tumen Khan was angry, but it was understandable. He knew that Anda was only seeking successful mutual trade. What's more important is that even though I promised to be a minister, he had no intention of becoming an "Erhan". His agreement with the Ming Dynasty was that he would be in sole control of the outside world!
However, the Ming Dynasty did not directly intervene in all matters outside the Great Wall, but "handed it over" to King Anda of Shunyi. Even matters related to the mutual trade, including the Ordos Department, could not be directly approached by the Ming Dynasty, but had to go through King Shunyi first. of consent.
In other words, although Anda seemed to be paying tribute back then, he actually borrowed the power of the Ming Dynasty, which in turn strengthened Tumote's leadership among the 30,000 households on the right wing.
At that time, the two major decision-makers in the north and the south, Anda and Gao Gong, were actually in a relationship of mutual use. I answer that we need to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty and really need mutual trade to "replenish the blood" of Tumut. Gao Gong needs a stable border to ensure the smooth progress of domestic reforms. At the same time, he should concentrate on dealing with the Mongolian left wing and engage in "West Huai East System".
Therefore, the tribute paid more than ten years ago, although the two parties were called monarch and minister, was actually a transaction with equal status. Apart from the name, I did not lose any "sovereignty".
But now Han Naji's performance gave Tumen Khan a chill as if he had fallen into an ice cave. This kid not only relied on the support of the Ming Dynasty to usurp the throne of Chechen Khan, he even did not hesitate to put his military strength directly on the Ming Dynasty. Under the protection of his wings!
You are really a bastard and don’t feel sorry for me!
"Burihatu, what you said before is indeed true. If Ben Khan doesn't come this time, Tumote will really no longer be Mongolia's Tumute." Tumen Khan said in a cold tone: "This Gao Pragmatic is indeed our great enemy of Mongolia. He grasped this opportunity perfectly. If Ben Khan had not come, it would not take another ten years, but maybe within three to five years, Tumut would have The surname was changed from Bo'er Zhijin to Zhu."
Burihatu was so praised and affirmed by Tumen Khan, but he was not very happy. He still had many things to worry about.
"Great Khan, I'd rather guess wrong." Burihatu said with a worried face: "The key problem now is that since this Shacheng must be defeated, but... I'm afraid it's not easy to defeat." The fastest mobile version of the website update ：:/m/
Tumen Khan's pupils shrank slightly, and he was a little worried in his heart, but his tone was firm: "If we can't attack by force, then besiege him. This time, I will fight to defeat Gao Pragmatic even though the strength of Chahar's troops will be greatly damaged!" "
