Chapter 451: Situmert

Datong Right Acropolis, the official residence of the commander in charge of the seal.

"It's his horse!"

Xu Yongshou, deputy general of Datong Town, punched the table with a fist and said, "These Mongolians never knew what the covenant meant!"

"Last year, the alliance was signed, and it was just cold, and they came down to hunt grass valley again!"

After hearing this, the generals on Datong West Road were all filled with righteous indignation, attacking or defending, and whispering to argue.

Datong Town is divided into three major roads, east and south, with a total of twelve small roads.

General Zhang Wanbang was born in the Zhang family. His grandfather Zhang Xun was a famous general in Jiajing. During the Longqing period, he was awarded the title of Laolu Dafu for his military achievements and was given a first-rank official position.

Zhang Wanbang's father Zhang Bingzhong inherited the position of commander and was promoted to commander-in-chief.

In the early days of Wanli, Zhang Bingzhong served as the general of Datong East Road, and later led his troops to participate in the Battle of Ping Ningxia. Because of his bravery and good combat, he was awarded the first-rank rank of general officers after his death.

Zhang Wanbang inherited his grandfather's honor for two generations and was a martial Jinshi in the 30th year of Wanli. After that, he was smooth sailing and became the official position of the general officer of the Datong garrison and the commander of the Datong Right Guard.

From the second to third year of Tianqi, he followed the commander Zhu Xieyuan out of the pass and fought fiercely. He killed the later Jin Beile and was promoted to commander of the seal commander of the Xingdusi of Shanxi for his merits.

At present, Zhang Wanbang is in charge of the defense of the West Fourth Road of Datong Town, Datong Right Guard, Weiyuan Guard, Yulin Guard, Yunchuan Guard and Pinglu Guard Xisibao. He is also directly under his jurisdiction.

In addition to Zhang Wanbang, the most prestigious one is Xu Shouhui, deputy general of Datong Town.

Xu Shouhui may be a typical example of the generals present who are not from generals, and he relies on military achievements to deputy generals.

Xu Shouhui guarded Datong when Zhang Wanbang led his troops out of the pass. He is currently in charge of the troops, horses, money and grain in the South Fourth Route of Datong Town, and also the defense of Datong Zuowei, Andong Zhongtunwei, Yingzhou, Shuozhou and Hunyuanzhou.

Xu Shouhui frowned for a while, without saying a word, as if he was thinking about something.

Beside him, Qu Jiazhen, the governor of Guangchang Camp on the left side of Datong, sneered and said sarcastically: "I said at that time that signing an alliance with the Mongols is tantamount to seeking a skin with a tiger. Now it's fine!"

"The Chahar tribe has not been so provocative once or twice. The court has gathered troops on the western route. Is it just that we want to stare at me like this?"

Indeed, Qu Jiazhen said these words at that time.

Some things, the court's considerations were different from those of the border generals? At that time, Zhu Youxiao and Chahar signed an alliance agreement? It was just to subdue the Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert and stabilize Chahar. It was good at attacking the Later Jin Dynasty.

The four major troops of the Later Jin Dynasty, Korqin and Inner Khalkha were severely injured in the battle? The three guards in the northern border of the Frontier have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and Chahar no longer needs to use the so-called silver rewards and mutual markets to "comfort".

Qu Jiazhen, the general of Guangchangying, was also from the Qu family? Originally from Hefei, Anhui Province, his grandfather Qu Jin followed Emperor Yongle in Jingnan. He inherited the general of Guangchangying on the East Road of Datong for his merits.

His father Qu Shifang and his grandfather Qu Feng, although he had no outstanding achievements, he also adhered to his ancestral property and guarded the border for the court.

Listening to everyone’s remarks? Zhang Wanbang was not in a hurry to express his opinion.

He stretched out his hand? Squatted around the brazier and roasted the fire. Because he had been guarding the border on Datong West Road for many years, his hands were covered with frostbite.

"Okay."

The two faint words gradually became quiet in the hall, which was still noisy just now.

Zhang Wanbang was still squatting around the brazier without looking back? He said, "What did you say about the other side of the Hukou Pass? How many casualties will be suffered this time?"

At this time? Deputy General Xu Shouhui spoke.

"The guerrilla general Rong Ning, who killed the tiger's mouth, said that this time is similar to the five or six times before? The Mongols came suddenly and were not prepared? In addition, the weather was very cold? Many people were so cold that they were reluctant to move..."

"…Twelve died? Eighty-six injured."

Speaking of this, Xu Shouhui, who has always been in a dull mood, also showed a little anger this time.

Zhang Wanbang said "yes", but he clasped his hand that had stretched out to roast the fire into a fist, slowly stood up, and said, "Tell Rong Ning to continue to guard the Hukou Pass. Without the general order of this town, you must not act rashly."

The order was quickly taken down by a model soldier. After the model soldier went down, many generals were dissatisfied. Qu Jiazhen said:

"The head town still needs to be guarded?"

"The Mongols have to come down every few days. If the casualties continue, there is no need to fight, and all those who kill the tiger's mouth will be killed or injured!"

This is somewhat alarmist, but it is true.

"Yes, the town, can't wait any longer."

"Or what, let's ask the Ministry of War for a fight!"

The generals talked in a slight manner, and the hall gradually became hustle and bustle.

"Shut up!"

Zhang Wanbang had a little anger in his voice. He turned around, looked at the generals of Datong Town, sat back to his position, and said:

"I want to ask the Ministry of War for a fight, but not now."

"The weather is very cold now, and it is not good for me to go out of seclusion to fight. The Mongols rode on horses, coming and going like the wind, which is elusive..."

"…So we have to wait, either they tear up the covenant and take the initiative to attack, or wait until the weather gets warmer and then catch them off guard."

Zhang Wanbang was not only a famous general, but also had outstanding military achievements. Especially in that battle, he led the Datong Army to fight against Jiannu and achieved good results, which many people believed.

After he said this, the debate in the hall stopped suddenly. Qu Jiazhen also looked here and said, "Main Town, tell me what to do, brothers, all of you will listen to your arrangement!"

Zhang Wanbang stood up, walked to the edge of the hall, reached out to pick up a few flying snowflakes, and said:

"Everyone goes back and prepares, maybe the war will start in a while."

......

At the same time, Chier Mountain and the royal court of Tumote tribe in the west of the desert.

During the Longqing period, the Tumote tribe rose and became stronger in the Chier Mountain area. Its leader Altan took the initiative to ask the Ming Dynasty for trade and tribute.

In the fifth year of Longqing, Emperor Longqing accepted his request and designated Yulin as a place for trade, and granted the title of Mot Khan Altan as the "King of Shunyi of the Ming Dynasty".

After that, Altan turned to develop Tumochuan and built the Khanate Court on Chier Mountain.

Influenced by his father Dayan Khan, Altan longed for Han culture since childhood and mobilized his troops to build a number of towns around Chier Mountain.

In the 36th year of Jiajing, Tumote tribes built "five towers" and "eight major plates" wonders around Chier Mountain in Yunchuan, which were the place for sacrifices in the royal court.

From the 43rd to 45th year of Jiajing, Altan expanded the Dabansheng City on the basis of the eight major columns. The buildings in the city were imitated in the inner city. "The palace and bedroom hall are seventh levels, the warehouse is three levels, and the city has five levels of drip water tower."

In the third year of Wanli, Dabancheng was completed and Emperor Wanli named it "Guihuacheng".

After that, with the efforts of Altan, the Tumote tribe gradually became a Chinese, and the city of Guihua became the center of political, economic and religious activities for the right wing tribes in the south of the Mongolian desert.

In the ninth year of Wanli, Altan Khan died of illness. His eldest son, the grandson of Dayan Khan, Dulongsengge succeeded to Tumot Khan and inherited the title of King of Shunyi.

After Dulong Sengge ascended the throne, he completed the process of the Chineseization of the wasteland Motte tribe and gradually moved closer to the Chahar tribe, which caused the civil war to split.

The second son of Altan Khan, the third son, Tiebe, was dissatisfied with Du Longsengge's actions, and was unwilling to return to Chahar, so he led his troops east to Korqin and surrendered to the "Jourchen Master of Jianzhou".

Bo Yan, the Tiebing tribe, now known as Dongtumot, grazed in Korqin.

In the fifty years since the death of Altan Khan, under the leadership of Dulong Sengge, the Datumot tribe, which even Chahar was afraid of in the past, has become a puppet vanguard of the Chahar tribe.
