Sure enough, he wanted to enter the pass to retaliate against the Ming Dynasty. After hearing Turge's decision, the commanders on the left and right sides of the Tumote tribe, Guluge and Hanggao, couldn't help but express their worries.
Turge stared at the two of them, and knew what they were worried about at the first sight, so he said in a confident tone: "Don't worry, when we were in the customs, those smart dogs thought that I didn't understand Chinese, and there were many things I heard them all. And I also saw a lot when I came out of seclusion. If you can't fight or win, I won't force you to fight. I can't help you to die in vain if I go back to Liaodong. On business with the Emperor!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Luge and Hang Gao couldn't help but glance at each other, and they were obviously relieved to see each other. It would be best if Turg didn't lose his mind because of hatred!
So Guruge asked Turge: "Sir, what is the situation in the pass?"
"The vassal kings in the pass have all spent money and food to provide disaster relief." When Turge said this, he saw the expressions of these two courageous people changed, and he felt contempt in his heart, and then continued, "But their various places The army has been deployed to the south to encircle and suppress the rebellion of the Li thieves. There is a lot of trouble there!"
When he said this, there was a trace of schadenfreude on his face and he said: "Don't you know, the internal situation of the Ming Dynasty, there are rebels everywhere, and it is already in danger. It is also the case that those vassal kings will use money and food to provide disaster relief. I I saw these things all the way out of the customs. Even the three governors of the Ming Dynasty mobilized troops to go south to encircle and suppress the rebels."
Turg stared into the eyes of Guluge and Hanggao, and demanded in an unquestionable tone: "While the troops in the pass are moving south to quell the chaos, it will be absolutely easy for us to plunder the north, and all the spoils will be returned to us." With all your Tumut troops, you can still prevent the Ming Dynasty from taking care of both the north and the south. If you focus on one and neglect the other, it will only become more and more chaotic!"
Seeing the eyes of Gu Luge and Hang Gao light up, Turge continued to encourage: "The border troops of the Qin Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty were so hungry that they were robbing the vassal king of the land rent. Now the Ming Dynasty court wants to restore the morale of the army. , but as long as we insert a knife at this time, plunder more supplies and return to the grassland, leaving people in Qin. I can absolutely guarantee that the Ming Kingdom and Qin will definitely be doomed! This time, no matter it is you Tumut From the perspective of the Qing Dynasty, this is an opportunity with no harm at all. If we miss this opportunity and are surrounded by the Ming army and suppress the rebels in the south, the emperor will be furious that we missed this opportunity!"
Obviously, Turge knew what the Tumote tribe was afraid of, so he even moved Huang Taiji out.
Having said this, Gu Luge and Hang Gao had no choice but to agree. However, there is a slight disagreement on the scale of troop dispatch.
This made Turge think about the case and make a decision for them on the spot arrogantly: "This is a rare opportunity to enter the customs. The more troops, the better. We must defeat the Ming Dynasty's northern Shaanxi Province in one blow. Moreover, I know where the Ming army is weak, so this matter is settled, all those who can move in the Tumote Department will be sent out by me!"
"But...but..." Faced with Turge's strength, Guluge hesitated for a moment and complained, "If all the men on the left and right wings of our Tumote tribe go out to fight, what if the Urad tribe comes to rob us?" manage?"
The Urad tribe is located to the west of the Tumut tribe, and it is common for the Mongolian tribes to plunder each other.
Upon hearing this, Turg said without hesitation: "I immediately sent someone to the Urad Department. The Qing Dynasty has serious business to deal with. If you dare to rob you at this time, it is a rebellion and a provocation to the Qing Dynasty. He Japan and the Ming Dynasty will definitely destroy their clan!"
At this time, the grasslands from the Tianshan Mountains to Liaodong had all surrendered to the Manchus. Therefore, the Urad tribe was no exception and was enfeoffed by the Manchus like the Tumote tribe. Turg was confident that matters concerning the Qing Dynasty were no longer just a dispute between two Mongolian tribes, so the Urad tribe would never dare to plunder the Tumote tribe at this time.
After hearing this, Guruge thought the same thing, and he felt relieved. However, I still wanted to wait for the guarantee from the Urad Ministry before I dared to send troops.
Of course Turg also understood the scruples of these Mongolian tribes. In order to ensure a smooth entry into the customs this time, he suppressed his urgency and sent the Niu Lu Ezhen to rush to the Urad tribe.
What Turge and the left and right wing members of the Tumote tribe did not expect was that after Niulu Erzhen came back, he actually told them an unexpected piece of good news.
It means that Chai Shihua, the commander-in-chief of Gansu Province, fled to their side and is borrowing troops from them, saying that he can lead them into the pass and plunder a lot of supplies. The reason is almost the same. The pass has been in chaos due to rogue thieves.
The Urad tribe was still hesitant and wanted Chai Shihua to borrow troops from other tribes. However, after hearing about the situation on the Tumote Department's side, they decided not to let Chai Shihua borrow troops anymore. They would also send troops directly, but they didn't say they would join forces with the Tumote tribe.
Both the Urad tribe and the Tumote tribe knew this very well. If the two forces joined forces, what would happen to the spoils? It's better to separate and grab what each has.
Turg didn't force anything, he just agreed on a date for dispatching troops and then started mobilizing.
In this regard, every yurt is elated. Over the years, their lives have actually not been easy. The Little Ice Age also had an impact on them. Now that they can enter the customs, they will definitely be able to grab supplies. Of course they are happy.
In each yurt, men ranging from fifty to fifteen years old rode horses and carried bows and arrows to gather, waiting for Gu Shanerzhen of the Qing Dynasty to take them into the customs and make a fortune.
Naturally, they did not expect that Turg was a "traitor", and the Class A eavesdropping seeds in him immediately fed back their actions to Emperor Chongzhen.
I have to say that Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that a rebel general would also collude with foreigners to harm the pass. He immediately sent someone to notify the governor of the three sides, Zheng Chongjian, and asked him to adjust the deployment in time and respond.
Then, he immediately sent a message to Hong Chengchou, the governor-general of Xuanda, and explained the situation on the grassland. Then he said to Hong Chengchou: "I have assigned Hu Dawei's headquarters to you. The entire Hetao must be covered by me, and all animals and animals must be escorted back to the pass. I will lead troops to Yansui immediately."
Hong Chengchou felt that the ability of Jin Yiwei's spies was very powerful as early as during the King Qin war. But when he heard this, he couldn't help but have a better understanding of the Jinyiwei spy's ability. Judging from the date, it seems that pigeons or something were used to deliver the message, which was too fast.
Hu Dawei is a Mongolian and is familiar with the grasslands. With the assistance of his hussar battalion and the troops that Hong Chengchou can muster, he will naturally be able to capture the only women and children left on the Hetao Plain. question.
Therefore, when Hong Chengchou heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and quickly assured that there would be absolutely no problem. Then, he left Datong with Hu Dawei's troops.
After Emperor Chongzhen waited for them to leave, he immediately issued an order to summon the remaining members of the Hussars camp, that is, He Renlong's troops and Guan Ning's cavalry troops Wu Sangui's troops to prepare for departure.
Speaking of which, He Renlong and Wu Sangui's troops, from the two general soldiers and supervisors to the ordinary cavalry, were all puzzled. It was agreed that the emperor would personally attack the bandits, but the result was good. The emperor took them to Datong and stayed here for many days. What does this mean? Didn't we agree that the imperial commander would personally conquer it?
At this time, when they heard about the departure and were eager to make military achievements, they immediately became excited and quickly lined up on the school field. At the same time, they were thinking, this time, they have to fight the thieves, right?
Emperor Chongzhen moved quickly. He appeared in front of them in military uniform, climbed onto the general platform, looked at the nearly five thousand cavalry below, and said loudly: "There is a group of aliens outside the pass who are eyeing our Ming Dynasty, not only the Liaodong Jianlu , and those Mongolian tribes who have taken refuge in the Jianlu. I have received news that the Hetao pirates are about to enter the pass and plunder. I will never allow such a thing to happen. Since they dare to come to the Ming Dynasty, I will make it impossible for them to come back. .”
After hearing this, many people suddenly realized that the emperor had already received the news, so he took them to stay here in Datong!
He Renlong was from Mizhi, and he knew that the Hetao Tatars were basically going to plunder Shaanxi when they entered the pass. Therefore, he became even more angry and immediately roared in response: "Your Majesty, destroy them!"
Most of the soldiers in the Hussars camp were from Shaanxi. When they heard that He Renlong had taken the lead, they all responded angrily and loudly: "Destroy them, destroy them..."
In response, Emperor Chongzhen nodded solemnly and said solemnly: "During the Han Dynasty, there was a saying that anyone who offends a strong Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away! I appreciate it very much, and today I tell the world that anyone who offends our Ming Dynasty will also be punished no matter how far away it is. Execute! This time, I will definitely let the Tumote tribe be wiped out! The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
After hearing this, the school grounds were quiet for a moment, but then the soldiers of the Hussars Battalion immediately roared in response: "The Ming Dynasty will be victorious!"
The Guan Ning Army, including Wu Sangui, had not experienced the Battle of King Qin, so they did not know much about Emperor Chongzhen. But when they heard that the emperor said such domineering words in public, as soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, their blood was also activated, and they also became excited, and shouted "Wan Sheng"!
For ordinary soldiers, if they can destroy the enemy as soon as possible and achieve great achievements, who would be willing to hide in the city for a long time and watch the enemy arrogantly outside the city.
Emperor Chongzhen was very relieved about the Hussars Battalion, and his reaction to them was also expected. At this time, he paid more attention to Guan Ning's cavalry. Seeing that their emotions were also aroused, he was also a little happy, and then said: "My Ming Dynasty has never had enough war horses, even the hussars camp has Many soldiers have no horses to ride. After this battle, you can say to your comrades, look, brothers, the horses are coming!"
No one expected that the emperor, who was always aloof, would suddenly say such approachable words in the tone of his fellow soldiers. Suddenly, they laughed knowingly. Imagine that scene, it must be very happy!
Emperor Chongzhen's performance gave Guan Ning's cavalry another surprise. The emperor didn't seem to be what the military usually said. They were suddenly a little envious. With such an emperor watching over the hussar camp, they must be living a comfortable life, right?
Emperor Chongzhen then raised his hand and said: "Go and teach the enemy a lesson!"
"According to the decree!" A chorus of shouts resounded over the school grounds. Even their war horses felt the atmosphere, and started to move forward with a "beep, bam, bam, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah!" sound.
A few days later, when the Tumut troops had assembled their troops and started to set off with confidence, Zheng Chongjian, the governor of the three frontiers, had also led the assembled frontier troops and suddenly diverted to Yan'an, which left many people confused.
Although there are rogue thieves causing trouble here in northern Shaanxi, they are mostly small groups and are nothing to worry about. They can be suppressed by the local army alone. Only the bandits under Li Zicheng in the southeast of Shaanxi Province were so powerful that they needed to mobilize heavy troops to deal with them. But, Mr. Governor, why did you take them to the north suddenly? What are you doing in Yan'an?
In this regard, many generals more or less suggested to Zheng Chongjian that since soldiers are valuable and quick, they should go south to quell the chaos as soon as possible. Because judging from the latest military information, Li Zicheng's troops seem to be showing signs of escaping into Henan. However, Zheng Chongjian ignored these suggestions.
On this day, a horse suddenly galloped into the governor's quarters, and then immediately the military drums sounded, and the governor gathered his generals to discuss matters.
When the generals arrived, they found that the Governor's expression was serious, but also slightly excited. He couldn't help but be a little surprised and curious, what happened?
While they were thinking, Zheng Chongjian looked at the civil and military officials below and spoke: "I have received news that the traitor general Chai Shihua will lead the Tatars of the Urad tribe to invade Gansu; in addition, the left and right wings of the Tumote tribe have also set off to enter the Kou Pass. In this war, they will never come back, do you understand?"
When the people below heard this, they suddenly realized. I bet the Governor had already gotten the news, right? Otherwise, we would not have assembled the military forces of the three sides and suddenly diverted to Yan'an.
Guyuan Deputy Envoy Lu Daqi glanced at the current Gansu Commander-in-Chief Wang Shichong, then stepped out of the queue and said: "My lord, I would like to lead Commander-in-Chief Wang to deal with the traitorous general Chai Shihua."
He knew some inside information, and naturally also knew that he could not compete with the governor for the credit of the Tumote Department. However, Chai Shihua suddenly appeared and gave him a chance. Bringing Wang Shichong, who knows Chai Shihua, he is sure that the Urad tribe will suffer a big loss.
These days, Zheng Chongjian has also received a lot of help from Lu Daqi. He wanted to help him, so he agreed, and at the same time told him: "Remember, you must severely injure the invading enemies and beat them until they hurt!"
"I understand!" Lu Daqi was happy and responded immediately.
Wang Shichong also responded loudly: "I will obey your orders!"
He took over the post of Commander-in-Chief because of Chai Shihua's defection, and he was in urgent need of a great success. Now that he has the upper hand, he is even more confident in defeating Chai Shihua, so his tone is full of confidence.
Seeing that a group of men and horses were missing, the remaining generals couldn't help but feel a little worried. It seems impossible for the Governor to prevent the Tumote tribe from coming back. It is easy to defeat them, but annihilate them all...
Looking at their expressions, Zheng Chongjian guessed it immediately, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Do you think that I said that there will be no return for the Tumote Department, and it's just talk?"
Hearing this, the generals were a little surprised, but before they asked, Zheng Chongjian said again: "Although the entire Tumut tribe has come together, I know where they are going to attack and when they will arrive. , and, the most important thing is..."
