Chapter five hundred and forty-six the leader
For Yinding, Zhang Han's assurance could only hear that the new strong men appeared on the grassland did not intend to unify the divisions by force, which meant that there would be a lot of iron and blood. This was really great news for the weak Mongolian divisions. After thinking about it for a while, Yinding said: "Okay, that's the best!"
Zhang Han smiled and scolded: "You have really improved after thinking about it for so long this time."
Yinding looked embarrassed on his face. He and Zhang Han met in the forty-fifth year of Wanli. The name has changed from a Han boy to a name directly, and then to a title. Now, there has been a historic change. Yinding said, "After the alliance, you will be the leader of my Mongolian tribes."
Zhang Han smiled on his face, the word "leader" is good, and he likes it very much.
"And Omubu Hongtaiji..." Zhang Han said in contemplation: "You can talk to him more after a while after returning to Xiaoheihe Fort."
Yinding said: "I still think it would be better for Bu Shitu Khan to let go of his past grudges. However, Dahan loves Omubu Hongtaiji very much. If he goes to us, Dahan will also step down in the future."
Zhang Han slapped Yinding's shoulder and smiled and said, "Yes, that's what it means."
At this time, Zhang Han looked at Zhou Yao again. He smiled and said, "Zhou Yao, you performed well and did not disappoint my trust."
Zhou Yao said in a deep voice: "Sir, I'm too rewarded, and my subordinates are just doing their own duty."
"It would be nice to be able to do your duty well, not to mention that some things you have exceeded your duty."
The two of them had a tacit understanding and did not continue the topic. Zhang Han turned over and stopped Wen Zhongfa and others. Sha Hongma rushed into Zhou Yao's subordinates like an arrow.
In addition to Zhou Yao, there are two other breastplate cavalrymen in the bureau. Zhang Han is very familiar with those faces. The officers of the breastplate cavalry are mostly from the literacy school in Xinpingbao, and there are also from the military academy of Lizhuang. Each of them is equivalent to Zhang Han's disciples. In terms of loyalty, these people are of course the first sequence.
Their expressions were the most exciting. Many people shed tears. Zhang Han smiled at them. These young people were really successful. No matter how excited they were, the queue was still unrest. The cavalry in the two bureaus shone brightly on their bodies, and the cavalry guns in their hands were always waiting to be fired. When Zhang Han passed by, everyone looked at him sideways. When riding on horseback, this was a standard military etiquette.
Zhou Yao's subordinates should be much calmer. More than 70% of them are bandits, horse thieves, and poles in the mountains. These people have been gathered together by Zhou Yao for less than half a year, but Zhang Han entered their queue alone, which itself represents one attitude: trust and acceptance!
I don’t know who started, but the sound of “Long Live” like a tsunami sounded.
There was nothing special, and there was no big victory, but people were just shouting, shouting with all their might.
Several piers and military platforms not far away began to set off muskets. People cheered from high places, and military flags were waving in the wind.
From this moment on, people know that the war against the Beilu and the development of the entire Heyusheng have finally reached a new stage!
...
"Boom..."
Several arcs flashed through the sky, like dragons and snakes flying. There were no things on the grassland. Thunder and lightning seemed to be even more terrifying in the open places. The wind was also strong, and the rain was already very cool when it was pouring on the body. After all, it was August. On the grassland, it might snow in more than a month, and the temperature instantly dropped to minus ten degrees or even colder.
After all, this is still the Little Ice Age and should be colder than later generations.
Under the lightning and thunder, the felt bags were like graves standing in the wilderness. There was no light or voice from anyone. Only the round felt bags were crowded together irregularly... The actual control area of the Mongolians was already very small, and the pressure on them with Yusheng's breastplate cavalry and armored cavalry were getting stronger and greater.
Many northern barbarians thought that He Yusheng had increased their troops, but in fact, it was not. The increase in cavalry was only liberated by the cavalry on both wings. They no longer cooperated with the fortress and did not need to protect the business road. The combat effectiveness of more than 2,000 cavalry on both wings was far above the Beilu. The herdsmen with equal numbers were just giving snacks to He Yusheng's cavalry. Even three or five times were still defeated. Unless a considerable number of armored cavalry were mobilized to cooperate with the herdsmen, He Yusheng's cavalry would be forced to retreat. However, with such frequent mobilization, the morale of the Mongols, which was originally not high, became even lower. In the past, only Taiji thought of withdrawing their ranch earlier, but now there were a large number of herdsmen fleeing west or north. Taiji of each unit was whipped first, but later it could not be stopped by killing people. At this time, more than 90% of Taiji had the same view, either fighting a war or retreating the entire army, and not continuing to waste it.
Bu Shitu Khan is different from ordinary Taiji... He is worried about a lot.
After this battle, it is conceivable that Bu Shitu Khan's prestige, which was originally not high, would further decline. Fortunately, the Mongols value bloodline inheritance, and the decline in prestige should be just a decline in appeal. In addition, Bu Shitu Khan's eldest son, Omubu Hongtaiji, had already fallen into Zhang Han's hands, which made Bu Shitu Khan worried and worried about his son's safety.
Another thing is that Xiaoheihe Fort is too close to Qingcheng. If the army scatters and returns to the tribes, the next situation is likely to be to assemble the main force with Yusheng, or sweep the various troops, or capture Qingcheng.
Qingcheng is already the center of western Mongolia. It is close to the Kalaqin and Ordo divisions, as far as the three tribes in the northern part of the Moraine, and the Weila tribes. These tribes will come to Qingcheng for trade. At the same time, it is also a political and military center. The surrounding Bansheng lands also provide a large amount of food and vegetables for the Tumote tribe. If Bansheng lands and Qingcheng are not protected, and the smuggling trade is cut off, the impact will no longer be Tumote, but the entire western Mongolia, and even the four Weilate tribes in Qinghai, which will be greatly affected.
This is also the reason why the morale is so low that the Taiji people from various ministries are still struggling to persevere here. The consequences are too serious now.
But everyone is also dissatisfied with the status quo, and all the Taiji people are eager for an opportunity to change.
The news that Zhang Han returned to Jining Fort has been confirmed. Tabunang was wandering around for a few days and returned to the Khan tent station. After reporting, all the Mongolian nobles were shocked.
Zhang Han took the risk to escape, but he was still not sure if he really dared to run out with a small team of cavalry. After about twenty days, this Tabu Nang actually found out that Zhang Han was back again?
Everyone felt offended, and some bad tempers of Taiji pulled his beard off.
This is undoubtedly a humiliation, a heavy slap on the face of all Mongolians!
This shows that Zhang Han did not take the hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops in front of him at all. Not only could he leave at will, but he also dared to come back after leaving. His actions were much more evident than words. Zhang Han’s actions meant one thing, and he looked down on the mobs in front of him at all!
How humiliating it is for the weak Han people who claim to be descendants of Genghis Khan, who regard the Han people as two-legged sheep, who can beat grass valleys at will during famine!
Even though he was as weak as Bu Shitu Khan, he was extremely angry at that time.
However, the anger is like a heavy rain, coming and going quickly.
...
"It's better to withdraw the troops."
Under the rain, the lights in the felt bag of Khan were brightly lit. Bu Shitu Khan and some of the Taijis he was close to gathered together, as well as several Taijis from Mobei, Bai Hong Dataiji, and the other one was Acheng Taiji who had the most determined attitude.
Bu Shitu had a fever in sweat, his voice was weaker than usual, and it made people feel more cowardly and incompetent.
The Taiji people next to Bu Shitu Khan moved their bodies uneasyly, and they all felt that they were not confident.
Acheng said quietly: "Khan, withdrawing troops is also an option, but I want to ask, what should I do after withdrawing troops?"
Bu Shitu Han said weakly: "Each division returned to its own pastures, and the herdsmen grazed for winter. The armored soldiers and the various Taiji were gathered together to prevent the raid of Yusheng."
A Chengdao: "What if they gather their main force in Xiaoheihe Fort? He Yusheng dispatched more than 20 most powerful artillery and ordinary small cannons, equipped with three or five thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry. We must concentrate at least all armored cavalry, at least 20,000 cavalry, plus 30,000 to 50,000 herdersmen, only 30,000 to 50,000 herdersmen can stop it. Over the years, all He Yusheng's combat power should be very clear, but I know what I said is true, not bluffing for the enemy."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
What A Cheng said is of course true, and it is also the thing that everyone is most worried about. Since he has broken up with He Yusheng, he naturally needs to worry about He Yusheng's revenge and gather his main force to prepare for the war. Why should he disband the various divisions at this time?
The most fortunate thing at this time was the tribes in Mobei. They were the farthest from Heyusheng, and they were not too worried about being attacked after they returned. Of course, the Taiji people in Mobei also empathized with it. In addition, they were also worried that after the tribes here crossed, Heyusheng's tentacles would sooner or later reach Mobei.
This time, the people in the three Mobei tribes were very uneven. There was no one from the Chechen Khan tribe, which was closely related to Zhang Han's business road. The other two, the Tuxitu tribe, contributed the most, and there were many Taiji people. Now it was their turn to worry the most.
Bu Shitu Khan said with some anger: "I understand what Acheng Taiji said, but in the past three months, the army has only removed one military platform. Once it launches its troops, all units are worried about the loss of their own troops. What's the point if they continue to waste like this?"
Acheng did not answer, he bowed to express his lack of words.
At this time, a Taiji next to Xi Lingse said, "Isn't this the responsibility of the Khan?"
Toboke Taiji, who was beside Bu Shitu Khan, angrily said: "What is your intention? Are you blaming Da Khan?"
The Taiji was not convinced and said, "The Khan asked, and I answered, why are you just blaming me?"
Another Taiji next to Xi Lingse said sarcastically: "When can't we Mongolians ask everyone to speak freely when we discuss matters? The refusal of each tribe is not the responsibility of the Khan. Is it the responsibility of us?"
