408 Bloody Debt
I saw that on this map, there were circles of Urat tribes and Chahar tribes, large and small, indicating that this place was the place where their tribes gathered.
The biggest difficulty for the Central Plains people against the grassland tribe is that they do not know where the grassland tribe is, because they have no fixed place to live and live by moving and grazing. As for the current combat power of the Mongolian tribe, it is impossible to compete with the Ming Dynasty. If they can find their gathering place and launch an attack, there is basically no need to say the outcome.
The information on this map was based on the news that Emperor Chongzhen had fed over the past few months, such as Jianlu sent people to send messages to Mongolian troops, asking them to send troops, the length of the time, as well as other direction information in the words, and based on the terrain, such as humans and animals, who can't live without, etc., and so on, thus obtaining such news.
At this time, Emperor Chongzhen announced loudly: "From tomorrow, the Cavalry Camp will take Yulin as its foundation and launch a large-scale attack to attract the attention of the Guihua City Jianlu and the Mongolian Alliance. The cavalry in other border towns will target the gathering places of Mongolian tribes as its target and launch a raid. I have only one request to kill all those who dare to resist, take away all the cattle, horses, sheep, food, and supplies that cannot be taken away, cattle, sheep, horses, etc., kill or burn them all, and leave no food or use for the Mongols. Let the remaining Mongolians go to their masters for help. Do you understand?"
This strategy is a plan to eliminate households and a plan to remove firewood from the bottom of a pot. Even if the Mongolian elites in Guihua City are not eliminated, they have no foundation, so they are nothing.
"The last general follows the order!" When the generals in the lobby heard this, they immediately accepted the order in unison.
For them, they actually don’t have to know how the people on the grassland treat the people of the Ming Dynasty who were looted, because the farming people and nomadic people themselves are mostly from the enemies of life and death. When you come into the pass, you kill the people of my farming people is like killing chickens and sheep; when you go out of the pass, you kill the people of your nomadic people, you will not be merciful.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at them with anger and said loudly again: "Every place, I will set a sign for me, and my blood will be paid for my blood! I want them to taste the pain of losing relatives and homes. Any tribe who dares to be enemies of our Ming Dynasty will be punished the same!"
"Blood debt and blood repayment!" After hearing this, the generals in the lobby roared again and responded.
Emperor Chongzhen's decree was promulgated during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, and finally killed the Xiongnu tribes on the grassland. In order to avoid extermination, they had to move westward and flee from the Central Plains dynasty from afar.
Emperor Chongzhen's original intention was to force Jianlu and the Mongolian tribes to rebel, and then he recruited those Mongolian tribes for use by the Ming Dynasty. However, at this time, he had changed his mind and asked them to die. The Ming Dynasty did not show its power. They also regarded the Ming Dynasty as a sick cat, so they used the Urat tribe and the Chahar tribe to establish their authority, so that other grassland tribes could know that you are afraid of Jianlu, aren't you afraid of the Ming Dynasty?
In this world, the strong are kings, and they will never change! If you have to be gentle, you will wait until you are afraid of them!
The decree was passed down, sending troops to the grassland was a very important matter, and there were many preparations. Only the Cavalry Camp did not need any special preparations because they had been taking turns to fight the scouts.
The next day, while the cavalry camp was about to go, the Ming army suddenly discovered that Mongolian cavalry appeared on the grassland. They carried the old and weak in costumes of the Ming people, and began to kill the people far away from the city. They either opened their stomachs or dragged them on horses...
This scene made the Ming army soldiers feel angry, and the cavalry camp immediately dispatched.
However, these Mongolian tribes were obviously prepared and immediately fled as soon as possible. They even prepared one man and two horses just to escape faster.
Jirgalang is in charge of Guihua City and has been receiving continuous news from the front.
"Reported that the Ming Dynasty cavalry camp tens of thousands of cavalry troops chased for hundreds of miles like crazy."
"Reported, another five hundred Mingdogs were killed, and the Ming cavalry rushed again."
"Reported that the chariots of the Panshi Camp of Ming Kingdom began to leave the border and began to gather on the grassland."
“…”
Listening to these news, Jirgalang finally laughed. The Ming emperor was still a little tender. Did he know? Ci was not in charge of the troops, and only a few thousand people in the Ming Dynasty were killed and were provoked out of seclusion. If he had known this, he would have done this earlier.
The left-behind leaders of the Urat tribe and the Chahar tribe who also heard the news below were also smiling and finally coming out of seclusion!
As long as the Ming army comes to the grassland, the more troops the faster they die!
They were so idle that they would compliment Jiergalang one by one, and it would be better to have His Highness the Prince personally use his tricks! Even the leader of the Chahar tribe who had awkwardly had a fuss with Jiergalang seemed to have forgotten what had happened before and flattered him so much that he didn't know how happy it was. Of course, they did this just to get more stolen goods after the war.
This time, Jirgalang did not interrupt their words. When they were almost done, they said to them: "Now that the decisive battle is imminent, the Ming cavalry is indeed a bit elite. In this way, your troops will draw some elite troops from the tribe. I will use absolute advantage to cut off the Ming army's rations and win this war."
If it were before, he felt that the troops in his hands were enough. However, since he went to the front of the pass to see the elite of the Ming cavalry camp, he was still worried that the troops in his hands were not strong enough, so he made this request.
The Chahar tribe has also seen it. After thinking about it, he agreed.
However, the Urat tribe was a little hesitant. When Jirhalang saw it, he knew what they were worried about, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, the Wei Lat tribe also surrendered to my Qing Dynasty. This time it was a little far away, so they were not recruited. Now you are conquering the Ming Kingdom under the order of my Qing Dynasty. The Wei Lat tribe would never dare to take the opportunity to annex your ranch. I have said that the distribution of spoils after the war is distributed according to the amount of effort it is made, and this is guaranteed by my reputation."
Hearing this, the Urat tribe was worried all over, and thought about dividing more things, so he quickly agreed.
Naturally, they didn't know that the Wei Lat tribes further west would not annex their ranch, but the Ming army was going to go.
…………
Deep in the grassland, yurts formed camps one by one. You can see that there were teams of knights in each camp, saying goodbye to the crowd who saw them off and rushing away with weapons.
If you can understand Mongolian words, you can tell, what are they going to do?
"Don't worry, the clan leader will come back this time and there will be a decisive battle. With the elite army of the Qing Dynasty as the main force, we will definitely win the Ming army!"
"When you win the Ming army, you can enter the pass and grab it casually. I will definitely grab a set of silk robes for you!"
"No robbery of women. What's the use of Han women looking good? They don't know how to graze!"
“…”
Those who left or those who saw him off did not have the kind of farewell like joys and sorrows, all of them were smiling and full of longing.
However, they did not know that after receiving the emperor's order, they all sent cavalry outside the pass after reaching Jizhen, then Xuanfu, Datong, Guyuan, and Ningxia. Even Wu Sangui's unit followed him out of the pass, avoiding the frontal battlefield, and sneaking into the vast grassland.
There are not many cavalry in each direction, and the most are the three thousand cavalry under Wu Sangui's troops. However, it is enough to deal with the old and weak left in the camps of the Mongolian troops, or the remaining little force.
The map provided by Emperor Chongzhen, the camps of the Urat tribe and the Chahar tribes marked on it were somewhat different. However, the cavalry was out of the way, so it was no need to mention the mobility. It would be easy to search within a radius of hundreds of miles. What's more, in the border town of Daming, there were some Mongolian soldiers, who knew the characteristics of grazing and could judge where the camps of the Urat tribe and Chahar tribes were based on some signs.
So, scenes of the Ming Dynasty cavalry raiding various Mongolian troops began to be staged on the grassland.
The war burned the homes of these robbers, which made these robbers know how terrible the war is!
The target of Wu Sangui's attack was one of the large tribes of the Chahar tribe, which had a gathering place for tens of thousands of people. Originally, he thought that the Mongols were born to ride horses and would definitely encounter their strong resistance. For this reason, he also spent a lot of effort and chose the Dawn to raid.
However, he did not expect that the strong resistance he imagined was not at all.
Most of the Mongolians lay corpses in their yurts. Even if some people who heard the news and resisted in a hurry had no strength at all, they seemed to be made of paper.
Wu Sangui quickly figured out that the Mongolians didn’t eat anything!
He couldn't help but admire the strategy adopted by the emperor, and he immediately passed on military orders and began to implement Emperor Chongzhen's orders.
Anyone who dares to resist, no matter who he is, will be killed without mercy. Even those who are suspected of resisting will be killed easily.
The remaining Mongolians did not dare to move anymore, their eyes were full of fear.
They didn't know why the Ming army suddenly appeared deep in the grassland, why did they find their camp, what about the Qing army? Where was the Qing army?
A part of the troops were divided to watch these Mongols, and the rest of the Ming army rushed into the herd of livestock and began to slaughter cattle and sheep.
These cattle and sheep are too slow to take away, so they have to be killed.
Seeing this scene, the Mongols were in agitation, which was the foundation of their entire clan. If there were no cattle and sheep, how could they survive?
The Ming army soldiers who were guarding were ruthless. Whoever dared to take the lead in the commotion immediately waved their swords and said nothing nonsense.
As for the Mongols' horses, of course they would not be killed. After the cattle and sheep were slaughtered, they would be carried on the carriage or tied to the horse's back and taken away.
In just one day, these things are basically done.
Wu Sangui is the general of studying. He personally picked up the pen and wrote four big words with the blood on the scene: Blood debt and blood repayment!
After thinking about it, he wrote a small line in the lower right corner: Wu Sangui, the general officer of the Ming Dynasty's aid and suppression.
I admired my calligraphy, then looked at my subordinates who were ready to go, and looked at the car full of beef and mutton, and I felt very satisfied. I immediately waved my hand and shouted, "Set the fire and go back!"
Yurts were lit one by one, and the fire soared into the sky, which was comparable to the sunset in the sky.
The Ming army soldiers returned with a full load. However, the Mongolians were all like dead people, with despair in their eyes. The tribes were gone at all, and they were about to destroy the clan!
When did the Ming army become more powerful and cruel than the Jianlu?
Such scenes happened in various places on the Mongolian grassland. The only difference was that some encountered a little resistance, some died in the battle, some gained less, some could not take away more, etc. No difference was that the camps of the Urat tribe and the Chahar tribe were larger, basically suffered raids from the Ming army, with yurts burned, cattle and sheep slaughtered, and were pulled away with their horses, leaving only those Mongolians who did not resist.
The strong prey on the weak, and the jungle law on the grassland happened in an enhanced situation.
…………
At this time, on the side of Guihua City, I still didn’t know what happened suddenly everywhere in the grassland.
In the lobby, Jirgalang was listening to his subordinates' reports.
"Reported that the vanguard of the Ming cavalry is less than a hundred miles away from Guihua City. The Cheying and infantry also left the pass yesterday. The Ming emperor's banner was on the side of the Cheying."
Hearing this, Jirgalang could no longer suppress his smile and said with a smile: "Okay, let's check it out again!"
After saying that, he immediately looked at the crowd in the hall and said loudly: "We cannot let the Ming Kingdom lose our army. We must hang them and continue to go deep into the grassland. Therefore, the troops are ready to fight with the Ming vanguard for some time. Before the main force of the Ming Kingdom comes up, they will retreat deep into the grassland and lure the Ming army to continue pursuing!"
"Abide by the order!"
"twitter!"
“…”
All the responses were very loud and full of excitement. The war finally began as they expected, and victory was right in front of us.
After the leader of the Chahar tribe held a military agreement, he returned excitedly and prepared to convey the military orders of Prince Zheng of the Qing Dynasty to the leaders of the tribe.
However, what he did not expect was that a small patriarch who had just led his troops to reinforce him, reported to him a piece of news.
It is said that there was news from the eastern Mongolian region that the Qing Dynasty suffered a great defeat half a year ago. It is said that more than 10,000 Qing Dynasty's Tashan defenders were completely wiped out by the Ming emperor!
"What?" The Mongolians who heard this news for the first time had almost the same reaction and couldn't believe this fact.
In their opinion, the Ming Dynasty has never been able to defeat the Qing Dynasty. But how could the Qing Dynasty defend the city be completely wiped out by the Ming Dynasty? At worst, it would be possible to go out of the city and fight in the field. Can the Qing Dynasty be afraid of the Ming army?
News from Liaodong finally reached the central Mongolia on the eve of the war.
Originally, the Mongolian tribes were divided into small camps and scattered everywhere, and the news was not spread quickly. However, everyone was together in the side of the Guihua City. Someone knew that the news spread soon.
Chapter completed!
