Chapter three hundred and eighty fourth generous

Butashi will always remember the willful laughter of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty.

This kind of laughter made him wonder, what would happen if the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty had encountered the Ming Dynasty chariot camp in the "nameless land" mentioned by the emperor?

In his eyes, the Khalkha tribe that occupied the three guards of Urianha was no different from the Jin Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty.

Any child as old as the little prince thinks of such a problem is a very cruel thing.

Because it brings fear rooted in the depths of the soul.

But in fact, even Altan Khan himself did not know that the Jin Kingdom he established, which was outside the Great Wall, had the opportunity to reappear Genghis Khan's glory... But now, there is no big difference between the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty and the three guards of Urianha. Even if there is, the difference is only that the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty was able to make its own armor.

During the existence of Zhao Quan and other Bansheng lords, what the Jin Kingdom could do was not just make his own armor.

Indeed, if training and supply are ignored, there are indeed the best warriors on the grassland, and every herder can ride a horse and take a bow and arrow when needed to become a fierce robber or a swarm of troops.

But that's all.

The nomads living on the grassland are so fierce and fierce, and are willing to hand over the most plump land in the world to the weak Han people, hiding themselves in the desert, Gobi and grasslands where food cannot grow, and honing their skills in the ice and snow?

Nomads go to the Fortress to plunder each year, and all the places where the iron hooves pass turn into scorched earth; but a herder usually has five or six children who grow up, and each of these five or six children will have five or six children who grow up. Why do they have reproduced for hundreds of years and are there so many people on the grassland?

Where have those who disappeared gone?

Compared with other tribes, Altan's Jin Kingdom is stronger than that of Bansheng.

A tribe with thousands of cattle and sheep and thousands of horses requires at least 180 miles of pasture to feed the horses. Theoretically, if this tribe is composed of eight families, everyone can live an extremely generous life; in fact, if there are only eight families in this tribe, it will be killed by other tribes, so at least dozens of families can properly protect their property. Then only three or four families will live well in these dozens of families, and others can only maintain an extremely low standard of living.

Bansheng is different. Settlement gives people more division of labor. Some people work as farmers, some people work, some people do business, some people are in charge, and some people serve in the army. People's identities do not need to be changed back and forth between herdsmen and soldiers, and they are constantly producing and skilled.

Many times, it is not people who choose their lifestyle, but some lifestyles choose people, such as the Three Guards of Urianha.

Because it was located in the north, whenever Mongolia went south to fight against the Ming Dynasty when it was in the past, the three Guards of Urianha would attack the tribes from the rear, so that everyone hated them.

Now the Khalkha tribes occupy the three guards of Urianha, but the result is actually the same. They will also pick up fruits from behind when others are fighting.

But Bansheng, north of the Great Wall, exists precisely contrary to this common sense.

The combination of tribes and Bansheng created the powerful Altan Jin Kingdom.

What Emperor Wanli wanted was a tribe.

"Fried flowers were scared and led the army away, but his subordinate had a Qianchang named Ha Tu'er in General Qi's camp at this time. The former army sent back a message asking what to do. I guess it won't be long before the people from the Ministry of War will enter the palace."

Emperor Wanli was ready to pick up a Ming cavalry figurine and slowly pushed forward on the map, pushing it all the way to the three guards of Urianha. He suddenly turned his head and said, "Don't talk when the ministers of the Ministry of War come later. Today's memorial will be passed on to the Meridian Gate and announce it to the world."

King Lu was confused. In short, if the emperor said, don’t talk, just stop talking.

The little prince Butashili was still immersed in the fear of his previous perverted smile, and leaned towards King Lu quietly... No matter how you look at it, the King Lu who loves to play with snot is much cuteer than the Emperor who loves to play with soldiers.

The Emperor's brother is too dangerous.

There is no way. In Wanli's eyes, after this battle, the three guards of Urianha were already in the Ming Dynasty.

The Minister of War Dai Cai, who was mobilized from Nanjing before the war, and Wang Chonggu, who was reinvigorated from the mountain, also saw this.

Dai Cai was the Minister of War in Nanjing and had the responsibility of counseling the machinery. Wang Chonggu was impeached and retired several years ago for telling the court the benefits of Altan's journey to Qinghai. This time he was invited due to changes in the northern border, but he had no power just to serve the emperor for political investigation.

"This battle is a blessing for the heavenly army. It will shock the three guards, and the troops will advance unimpeded."

After all, he was impeached and retired was not glorious enough. Even if he was called to the court, Wang Chonggu did not speak much, and he listened to Dai Cai, the Minister of War in Nanjing.

After a great victory without any loss, the Minister of War seemed to have smeared honey on his lips, but he was boasting about Qi Jiguang, but then he screamed: "Shistor Qi reported that the place of strategy needs to be sent to patrol the bullet-suppression, and it cannot be easily released to others. Recently, the court has drawn soldiers from the various guards in Shuntian to Qingshankou, and the baggage management is carried out day by day."

The front line, not counting Li Chengliang who was supporting the northwards in Liaodong, had nearly 30,000 troops in Qi Jiguang's direction. The troops were eating horses and chewing, which put a lot of pressure on the rear. Almost the entire Shuntian guards and the Beijing army were transporting supplies to the entrance of the Great Wall.

This is different from what the emperor imagined. He asked with an inquiring expression: "Daiweng means that the court's supplies are not prepared enough?"

"It's not that you're not too prepared, but that you're over-expensive."

Excessive consumption?

It was like a basin of cold water sprinkled on the emperor's pleasure. He picked up his hands and put them on his stomach, and asked, "Where are the cattle and sheep that stir-fried flowers? Where are the horses?"

Dai Cai was also helpless. The court's preparation for the Northern Expedition had just reached the stage of discussion. The battle was fought by the emperor and Zhang Juzheng. It was already good everywhere, but the war machine suddenly started to move. The Beijing army was mobilized back and forth more than 100,000 times, and Qi Jiguang's troops advanced forward more than everyone expected.

The court was indeed prepared, but what was prepared was the war of attrition from the past years, rather than the battles aimed at occupation today... the consumption was incomparable.

"Qi Shuai did seize many cattle, sheep and war horses, but except for a few supplementary sergeants, most of them were transported to the pass."

Towards the inner gate?

The emperor did not know how cautious Qi Jiguang was. He did not even move the cattle and sheep of the various surrendered tribes, and the profits seized were even more intact.

Who doesn't know that eating food and grass transported by the court to the outside world consumes a lot of money, but it is the court's business. Not to mention eating profits, even if you give it to the court a document that eats profits, it will become his own business.

For Qi Jiguang, his soldiers can benefit from war, but there is no need. They can wait and send the things back first.

It’s like when he sees the chief minister, he can’t kneel down and bow down, but he can bend his legs first and then be helped up.

He was waiting for someone in the court to speak for him. He thought that person would be Zhang Juzheng, but he didn't expect that there was a person in the court who had the determination to promote the war beyond everything.

The emperor decided not to go through the procedures for this matter, "What are you going to the inner palace? I reward you!"

"Let Qi Shuai eat it on the spot. If you can't eat it, you will take it to the three guards to eat it slowly. If you still can't finish it, go to the west to find Tuman while eating... If it is not enough, you will add more sea food and grass to the Nanyang Military Palace. I will not even send it to the Beiyang Army to Dadongyang. Will you still be stingy with this little consumption?"

"I don't plan to make anything in this battle. I don't want anything to join the tribe, such as cattle, sheep, wars and horses, to join the tribe. I want to take back the land thrown by my ancestors, hold it tightly in my hand, and never let go."
