Wanli Xinming

Chapter 348 In-depth
On August 13th of the [-]th year of Wanli, Tangnu Wulianghai was already dyed in autumn colors.On the east bank of the Daqian River, [-] Han troops fought a decisive battle against the [-] Oirat tribes of the Oirat tribe, with the willingness of both coaches, which was known as the "Battle of the Daqian River" in history.

In fact, in all wars, the prerequisite for a decisive battle is that both parties have the will. A battle where only one party has the intention of a decisive battle cannot be fought.For the Oirat Department, the [-]-strong army killed more than [-] sheep every day, which was a lot of pressure.Zaktu Khan sent warriors to call out and let the Ming army go out for a decisive battle. Ma Dong was overjoyed when he heard it - he immediately agreed, which is the so-called "willingness" of both coaches.

In order to prevent the Ming army from seeing that he was strong and did not dare to fight, Zaktu Khan, who could not figure out the situation, fled back to the main camp for defense. Only [-] cavalrymen were placed in front, and the remaining [-] were reserved.On the morning of August [-], the two sides left the camp, and Zaktu Khan's [-] elite soldiers formed three square formations on the left, center and right, ready for battle.

After the Ming army left the camp, they set up Ling Yunyi's horizontal I-shaped formation under Lihua Mountain City, waiting for the opponent's cavalry to charge-the whole process and results were lackluster after that.

Oirat, who lives in the northwest of the desert, is different from the Khalkha tribe. He has no perceptual understanding of the overwhelming war of the Ming army to destroy Chahar in the ninth year of Wanli.

For the Han army, the biggest difficulty in the Luo Wilderness Raiders is logistics.In order to reduce the supply of the former army, there were no more than [-] soldiers and horses in the east and west. All these soldiers were selected from the best of the best, and they were all repeatedly selected from the elite soldiers of the nine sides.

The court also had policy incentives: what the two Ming armies gained from raiding and hunting in the Luo Wilderness were all returned to the army, and neither the court nor the emperor took any money, so these soldiers had a strong desire to fight.

In order to obtain the right to occupy Luoluo first, the Mongolian tribes in Mobei and Monan, who had already surrendered to the imperial court, competed extremely fiercely for the mixed quota, which led to the Mongolian cavalry who were incorporated into the two-route army was also the elite of the elite.

Although the Ming army was not equipped with [-]-jin heavy artillery due to transportation difficulties, a large number of [-]-jin improved small artillery and tiger squat artillery were brought along. Compared with the crowd, they are still fighting a war of generational differences.

Therefore, under the remote onlookers of the various ministries of Gekun, the Ming army, who had been holding back for more than half a year, was like a fierce tiger. In less than a meal, the central army in the front of the house was destroyed, and then the whole army was in chaos, and the sheep were released on the battlefield.

The Ming and Mongolian allied forces got on their horses and started chasing death and chasing the north, killing and looting was useless.In fact, less than 46 people were killed on the spot in this battle, and the rest were obtained from behind-the-scenes killings-3000 heads, [-] prisoners, [-] cattle and sheep, and more than [-] horses were captured.

Zaktu Khan ran to the death of several BMWs before running back to his home and the site of the Shuote Department, and then ordered his family to pack up and move north.

Departing to move north in late autumn, courting death is not such a way.The Khan ordered one after another, but the Otoks were extremely resistant, looking for various reasons to delay.In the end, Zaktu Khan was helpless, rolled up the golden tent and fled east on his own, and took away the [-] cavalry and a large number of supplies from the tribe who were loyal to him.

As expected by Zaktuhan, the Ming army rushed into the Heshuote Grassland on the west side of Yibohai (by: Balkesh Lake) 20 days later, and committed countless crimes.

There are also small tribes who have been oppressed by the Oirat Alliance for a long time, such as Li Kun, Huite, and Klett, who have committed joint crimes, including the Duerbert Department who was in the front of the battle. This Duerbot is related to Horqin in Eastern Mongolia. Therefore, although it is one of the four major divisions of Oara, it is seriously incompatible with Heshuote and Zoros. At this time, seeing that the leader of the alliance, Zaktu, has poured blood and mold, he hastened to step on both feet and grabbed the territory by the way.

The Han army was 130 against [-], and the victory was clean and tidy. All the forces in the desert and grassland immediately understood that the [-]-year history of Da Ming's father's depression after the Tumu Fort was completely over.

After the war was counted, five heads different from the four Oirat groups caught the military judge's attention: these dead men had sparse and yellowish hair and bushy beards.With a high nose bridge, a clear face, and looking at the blue eyeballs inside his eyelids, the military judge asked for the military intelligence brocade clothes.

Chen Hongyou, who has been promoted to the deputy thousand households, affirmed: "This is a Rakshasa. I will find out if I catch a few people around Zaktu and ask them. These people should have been here for a long time, otherwise Zaktu Khan will not be able to. As for rushing up without negotiating with us, they should have pushed it."

Sure enough, I know that some of the prisoners of these Rakshasa people have arrived at the Oirat Department this summer. The main purpose is to provoke Zaktu Khan and Rakshasa to attack the Kazakh Khanate, and the fight against Ma Dong is only incidental.

The Oirats and the Kazakh Khanate have been at war since 60 years ago—Oirat was constantly squeezed westward by Khalkha. During the migration process, they had to compete for the grassland of the Kazakh Khanate, and the two sides had long been fighting.In the original time and space, these two groups fought for nearly 200 years, until the Junggar tribe was destroyed by Qianlong, known as the "200 Years War".

In this time and space, Ma Fang was ordered to restore the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The three-legged state of Kazakh, Oirat, and Yeerqiang was broken by Ma Fang. The Yeerqiang Khanate was destroyed by Ma Fang's strong blow, and the capital Shache was taken by the Ming Dynasty. .

In Zaktu Khan's view, Ye Erqiang died in civil strife.At that time, Abdureyimu, the ninth uncle of Ai Hemaiti Khan, marched into Shache and tried to call him Khan, and played Ye Erqiang's version of "Jing Nan", but Ma Fang took a big deal.

Therefore, it is reasonable that Zaktu Khan, who thinks that he is separated by the vast sea and mountains, grows hair on his gallbladder and wants to eat Ma Dong's "lone army" with great fanfare.Unexpectedly, it was not good to be a teacher. He broke his teeth directly by the Daqian River, and the Heshuo Special Department was almost removed from the grassland.Except for the great Khan who had already run away, almost all of the tribe's population and livestock were divided up.

After Ma Dong's victory, the biggest crisis of the Kazakh Khanate was lifted, and the Ming army completely opened up the situation in Tangnu Wulianghai.The head of the Kazakh Khanate, Tawule Khan, sent a messenger to present gifts and expressed Kazakh's willingness to contribute to Daming to Ma Dong.Ma Dong didn't dare to be a professional, and replied that after the snow melted next spring, he would send someone to report to the Governor's Office of the Western Regions.

It is certain that the Kazakh Khanate will be a vassal.In addition to Zoros, the other three of the four Oirat also express the meaning of deference.Ma Dong presided over the division of the grassland, and Durbut's department got the largest and fattest piece.

As for the small tribes such as Li Kun and Hui Te, they also got the spoils they deserved after participating in the war—this is the law of survival on the grasslands, and the collapse of large tribes is like a "whale falling". "When a whale falls, all things are born." The decline of Heshuo's department naturally strengthened the victors who besieged it.

Of course, the biggest gain was Ma Dong's westward expedition.With the spoils of war, the Dingbian City project does not need to be paid by the court, and Ma Dong's credit book is written with a strong stroke of color.The Heshuo Special Department has a total of nearly one million heads of various livestock, enough to cover the cost of building a city at the intersection of the Xiaoqianhe River next year.

Before the winter of the 13th year of Wanli came, the Han army in Tangnu Wulianghai lived in a fortress made of logs with cracks in yellow mud.Dotted houses are scattered in the soon-to-be-built Dingbian City—although the city doesn't even have a foundation yet, everyone knows that the rule of Ming Dynasty will continue to deepen toward the northwest with the completion of this city.
