Mahamu is a wolf who knows how to be forbearing. He can smile and kneel before the enemy who killed his father, and he can also lie dormant in the dark and eliminate enemies one by one.
This is a man who only wants power, and what he wants to do is to be the alpha wolf on the grassland.
If you want to become the alpha wolf, you must tell the entire wolf pack that only he can lead all the wolves, providing them with meat to eat and wine to drink. If he couldn't do this, he would instead send this signal to the wolves:
I will take you to distant places to find meat to eat and wine to drink, but in the process, many of you wolves will die.
Although the status and majesty of the wolf will not be challenged immediately, it will be gradually worn away along with sacrifice and death.
If during this process, a wolf named Batu Polo stood up and said: We don’t want to go far away to eat meat, and we don’t want to travel thousands of miles to find wine. If we stay on the grassland, we can still have meat to eat and wine to drink. The pack will be divided.
What Ming Dynasty has to do is to stop the wolves and raise the bald wolf.
It can be said that it is a helpless move to choose to have a distant relationship with Wala.
Xu Huizu, Tie Xuan and others all saw clearly that if they wanted to completely destroy the effective forces of Oara, Tatar, and Uliangha on the vast grassland, and make them unable to recover, the Ming Dynasty's only choice was to concentrate the elite cavalry and fight against one of them or Two ways.
The troops are divided into three fronts to fight, which can only be the main attack, feint attack, and auxiliary attack. It is impossible for all three fronts to be the main attack, and naturally it is impossible to realize the tone of the war set by Zhu Yunwen.
Another reason for the distant friendship with Wala was the distribution of horses and cavalry in the Ming Dynasty.
The war horses of the Ming Dynasty are mainly concentrated in three areas, the capital area; the line from Peking to Datong; and the line from Gansu to Tianshan.
The distribution of cavalry is mainly
It is the land of Gyeonggi Province, from Peking to Datong.
Although Xijiang Province, Gansu Town and other places have horse farms and a large number of war horses, there are still deficiencies in the number of cavalry and troops. In addition, Xijiang Province has a vast territory and scattered troops. If 50,000 cavalry are gathered in Xijiang, then Xijiang will The place is basically empty.
Besides, it is quick and easy to mobilize the cavalry from the capital to Peiping and out of the Great Wall to fight outside the Pass. However, if you want to mobilize the main force to go to Gansu and Xijiang Province, the journey will take more than a month. By the time you get to the place, the cavalry will be exhausted. In this case, the Ming army could only tend to defend and it was difficult to pursue.
After considering various considerations, Tie Xuan advised Zhu Yunwen: "Sending people to Wala to lobby is the best way to buy time."
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xu Huizu, Yang Shiqi and others: "Do you also think that Wala can be won?"
Yang Shiqi said sternly: "Your Majesty, it may not be feasible to win over Wala, but it is still feasible to gain time. If the people are chosen properly, it may even be possible to split Wala."
Xu Huizu seconded: "The Wala are different from the Tatars at this time. Although the Tatars are now lost in Benya, it is Arutai who actually talks. But the Wala are divided into three large tribes, and their leaders are Taiping and Batu. For the three of them, Polo and Mahamu, the interests of the tribe are greater than the interests of Oara. If they can persuade Polo or Taiping, Mahamu will not be able to threaten the Western Xinjiang and the lands within the pass with only the power of a tribe. "
Zhu Yunwen didn't know if it was too late to send people at this time, but it didn't seem to affect the negotiations. Even though Wala had led his troops south and the war had started, it didn't affect the negotiations.
Talking while fighting, using fighting to promote conversation, is also an option.
"now that
So, tell me, who can take on this important task? "
Zhu Yunwen asked.
Xu Huizu and others looked at Xie Jin, who smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the person who can take on this important task is Hu Siye."
"Hu Ming?"
Zhu Yunwen was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.
Hu Hui is indeed a good hand in underground work. He understands people's hearts well, is cautious, has meticulous observation and has strong adaptability. The most important thing is that Hu Hui and Mahamu are old acquaintances. It was Hu Hui who caused Mahamu to turn against Hashha and intercepted and killed Hashha.
In addition, Hu Xihe was very familiar with Batu Polo. Batu Polo entered Jinling City several times and always visited the Imperial College. Such a "king" level foreign guest naturally needed Hu Xi to accompany him personally. Natural familiarity.
"Ask Wang Bin to temporarily take charge of the Imperial Academy, inform Hu Hui of preparations for departure, and ask him to come to Wuying Palace tomorrow."
Zhu Yunwen agreed, and his eyes became sharp: "Since we are making friends at a distance and attacking at home, the only ones left are Tatar and Uliangha. Tell us your plans."
Xu Huizu stepped forward: "Gather the elites and chase them thousands of miles away and destroy them!"
Duan Yun grinned: "Beat the dog to death and eat its meat."
Yuan Yue geared up: "Beat him to death."
Tie Xuan saw Zhu Yunwen looking over and expressed his support: "Uliangha was originally a subject of the Ming Dynasty. He rebelled once in the Hongwu year. A few years ago, when King Ning and King Yan went to the north, Wuliangha also rebelled. This time he rebelled again. The three rebels against the Ming Dynasty! I believe that there are only three things that can be done. Since they have betrayed the Ming Dynasty time and time again, they should be exterminated and tell the world a truth: You cannot be a bad person!"
Xie Jin clapped his hands: "Well said! Your Majesty, Wu Liangha has repeatedly surrendered and rebelled.
I can't tolerate it. To deal with Wu Liangha, we should mainly kill them all; to deal with the Tatars, we should mainly destroy their main elite force and plunder their population. "
Zhu Yunwen doesn't like people who betray. Over the years, the Ming Dynasty has been extremely kind to Wu Liangha. They are nomadic in peace, and no one has disturbed them. They just need some war horses every once in a while. These war horses were signed when Wu Liangha surrendered last time. of.
Whatever materials the people of Wuliangha lacked, the Ming Dynasty would give them to them and never cut off their trade. These people lived a good life. Wouldn't it be nice to herd horses safely?
Do you have to work hard to get a larger grazing land?
Weak ethnic groups shouldn't have such big ambitions, people will die.
Zhu Yunwen decided to obliterate the existence of Wuliangha and let this ethnic group disappear completely, so he said: "There is no need for Wuliangha to exist anymore. Yuan Yue, are you willing to lead troops to conquer Wuliangha?"
Yuan Yue hesitated and asked uneasily: "Your Majesty, I still want to capture Benya Shili and Arutai alive..."
Seeing Zhu Yunwen's face darken, Yuan Yue quickly said: "I am willing to go and completely eliminate Wu Liangha!"
Zhu Yunwen nodded slightly and said seriously: "Don't underestimate Wuliangha. These years of dormancy have given them a lot of strength. What worries me most is that Wuliangha is located east of Halawen Mountain. You can peek at and attack the Songliao Plain at any time, where there are people who broke into Guandong, and the city is not complete. If they are harmed by Wu Liangha, I will feel sorry for them!"
"Order Yuan Yue to go to Kaifeng, take the original 10,000 cavalry, and even the Henan Dusi 10,000 cavalry, march into Daning, and cooperate with He Fu's 20,000 cavalry to wipe out Wu Liangha on the grassland and not let it go.
It will collapse and cause chaos in the Northeast, and we cannot allow it to attack and disrupt Zhang Fu's rear area! "
Yuan Yue solemnly accepted the order.
Zhu Yunwen walked to the sand table, stared at the grassland to the north, and said solemnly: "Then, now only the Tatars are left! In this battle, no room will be left, and the Tatar forces should be completely eliminated! Xie Jin drafts the decree!"
Xie Jin agreed, walked to the side table, spread out the imperial edict, and picked up his pen to prepare.
Zhu Yunwen put his hands behind his back and said in a deep voice: "Draw up the decree and order Xu Huizu to be the right deputy general of Zhengbei, wear the deputy general seal, and lead the cavalry artillery battalion, Shenji battalion, three thousand battalion and five military battalions of the Beijing army, with a total of 100,000 soldiers. To Peiping.”
Xu Huizu was somewhat depressed when he heard that the right deputy general seemed to be still a deputy...
"I ordered Ping'an to be the deputy general of the left army in the north, wear the seal of deputy general, and draw 50,000 elite troops from Peiping. The total number of troops in Peking has reached 50,000. Prepare for battle training."
"Order Tan Yuan and Duan Yun as the left-hand generals, Zhou Dazhi and Xu Kai as the right-hand generals, Liu Qixia, Qu Tao, and Datong guard Xue Lu as the divine machine generals..."
"Order Cabinet Minister Tie Xuan to serve as military counselor, and Yang Pu and Xuan Qingshu, doctors in the Ministry of War, to serve as military counselors..."
As orders were issued one after another, everyone's expressions became solemn.
War is finally coming!
When Zhu Yunqi paused, everyone held their breath and concentrated. Everyone knew that Zhu Yunqi still had one of the most critical candidates who had not been announced, and that was General Zhengbei!
Zhu Yunwen did not pause for long, and issued the final decree: "Order King Zhu Di of Yan to be the General of the Northern Campaign, wear the seal of the General of the Northern Campaign, and control the troops and horses of Northern Zhili, Shanxi, and Shaanxi!"
Zhu Di!
Xu Huizu, Xie Jin, Tie Xuan and others smiled slightly, and it turned out to be him.
No one cares about this knot
If there is any objection, what Zhu Di is best at is fighting large-scale cavalry against large armies on the grassland. The war under the Tianshan Mountains is even more proof!
Zhu Yunwen clenched his fist.
Zhu Di, fourth uncle, I promised you that I would let you return to the battlefield again. Now is the time to fight the most glorious battle in your life!
After this war, the enemies of Ming Dynasty were only in the distance, not nearby!
Of course, you should not play the game of raising bandits to respect yourself. The development of the Ming Dynasty does not need to raise bandits. I will not kill donkeys, run dogs, and hide good bows!
Zhu Di, after more than ten years, you should know my thoughts, and you should also know my desires!
Go for it!
You belong to the battlefield, so go on the battlefield and fight for a piece of glory that belongs to you, Zhu Di!
The fate of the country for a century has been decided today!
This time, I will devote all my national power to support you and mobilize all the war potential of this great empire to support you!
The beacon of war has been ignited, and the horn of the war will also sound.
Zhu Di!
Do your duty and fulfill Taizu's great trust to you!
Just when everyone thought the order was over, Zhu Yunwen issued another order to mobilize 50,000 troops from the Beijing Army to assist Gansu and Lanzhou.
This order is not abrupt. The troops in Gansu and Western Xinjiang can only defend, not attack. Whether negotiating or fighting with Wala, they need to have troops in hand.
What's more, after Zhu Di finished cleaning up Oala, if he wanted to attack from two sides, he would need the cooperation of a group of elite troops.
Xu Huizu was a little worried and said: "Your Majesty, if this happens, there will only be one hundred thousand sergeants left in the Beijing army. Isn't it too thin?"
One hundred thousand soldiers may seem like a lot, but for a Jinling City with a circumference of fifty or sixty miles, for a super big city with thirteen gates inside and eighteen gates outside,
In general, the number of troops dispersed to each gate was only more than 3,000.
These manpower are enough for daily defense, but if troops are needed in the southwest or if there is trouble near the capital, this force is really not much.
