Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1246 The ambition of Boshuoketu

Boshuoktujinong is two years younger than Gao pragmatic. He is at the age of great ambition, and he is probably in the state of mind of the eldest of heaven, the second child of Genghis Khan, and the third child of his row.

Such young people are youthful and energetic, and have the courage to put their ideas into practice, so he is very dissatisfied with the dignified Mongolian Jinong who was pushed Han Naji over his head, but because of this ignores the reality factor - making Han Naji more than him Have the right time and place.

The so-called time of day is actually the attitude of Daming.No matter whether he understands it, doesn't understand it, approves it or doesn't approve it, the current Daming is still the existence of national power crushing Mongolia, and the interior is basically peaceful, but this time there is a little accident.

One point was an accident caused by a mistake in the rush to complete the plan to open the ban.But Daming's size and appeal are still far from his Ordos department.

Boshuoketu originally thought that with the restraint of Tumen Khan, it was impossible for Tumet to launch an actual attack on him when he had lost control of Qinghai Tumet, so he agreed to send troops.Even if he later heard that the Ming Dynasty sent the Gao pragmatic, known on the grasslands as King Jiang III, to quell the rebellion, he didn't take it too seriously.

In Boshuoketu's view, although Gao pragmatic's battles in Monan and Liaonan were well fought, there was a premise in those two battles, that is, the Mongolians were judged to be the target by Gao pragmatic under the active attack. In fact fought two wait-and-see wars.The course of the war, although complex, does not change this foundation.

Boshuoketu dismissed this. He believed that as long as he gave full play to the mobility advantages of the Mongolian cavalry and did not fight Gao pragmatically, he could avoid similar defeats in Monan and Liaonan.

He remembered that Qijing had analyzed it to him half a year later in southern Liaoning, indicating that the strength of the army has shown a trend of continuous enhancement in the past ten years, whether it is the army's weapons and equipment, or the morale of the army, and even the time to exercise. It is much stronger than ten years ago, and its combat effectiveness has naturally been greatly improved.

At this time, it is impossible to expect that, like in the year of Gengshu, [-] or [-] cavalrymen will attack the more than [-] Ming army casually, and the Ming army will not dare to leave the city.In the Battle of Monan, although the Ming army had few opportunities to actually fight, they fought a battle in which the inferior infantry could counterattack against the cavalry charge, which is a clear proof of it.

As for the battle of southern Liaoning, not to mention that the Ming army not only fought brilliantly in joint land and water combat, but once again used infantry to withstand the decisive charge of the elite cavalry of the Chaohua Department.What does this mean?It shows that at least on the frontal battlefield, the Mongolian cavalry has no advantage over the Ming army infantry with significantly improved firearm quality.

Although Boshuoketu had basically fallen out with Qie Jing, he still had a relatively clear understanding of Qie Jing's wisdom, and his analysis at that time was very detailed, even if he didn't want to admit it.

Therefore, this time, he regarded the Ming army's advantages in frontal combat squarely, and made up his mind not to fight Gao pragmatically, but to return to the old tradition of Mongolian soldiers - harassment warfare.

Especially when he learned that the high and pragmatic army did not go south of the Great Wall, but came directly from Hetao, he became more firm in this view.

In Boshuoketu's view, Gao pragmatist's army of [-] to [-] people will go straight into the Hetao, so he can't bring too much food. Find a way to burn the Ming army's food and grass, and this war has actually been won.

The Ming army was not the Mongolian army. If you lose logistics, you will lose your life. They say that if you die of starvation today, you will not be able to survive until tomorrow. Clean up the battlefield.This victory is simply nowhere to be found by stepping through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it.

The only hidden worry in this one is to make every move.According to the news from the spies, Qiedu’s eldest son, Ilduqi, led a force to the east “a few days ago”, and it seemed likely that he was going to meet or greet Gao Pengshi.

Considering that the spy also reported that Chukuke still had sufficient troops in the old camp, Boshuoktu believed that Ilduqi did not bring the main force of the Qijin, or at most he and Chukuke led it alone. Half - this is in line with the Mongolian tradition.

If Ilduqi really brought all half of his troops to help Gao pragmatic, things would still be tricky, because at least it would be much more difficult if he wanted to make a sneak attack - everyone is Mongolian, if you can find me, I will If you can find you, it cannot be sudden.

However, Boshuoketu doubted whether Ilduzzi would really help Gao pragmatic wholeheartedly.He still understands Ilduqi. In the words of the Han people, there are too many flowers and intestines, and it is not easy to make him fight with all his strength.

Boshuo Ketu estimated that when he assembled the troops and horses of the Huama Pond and appeared in front of Yilduqi with more than [-] cavalry, there was a great possibility that Yiluduqi would directly avoid the battle and take a detour, leaving the battlefield. To yourself and Ming Jun.

But that doesn't matter. Ilduqi expects himself to fight the Ming army to the death, but he just wants to burn the Ming army's food and grass. When the time comes, he will burn it down, turn around and leave, even if he wants to stop it, Ilduqi can't stop it Stop it—— Besides, at that time, Ilduzzi might not want to stop it?

Didn't he cut out the old stubborn, once the Ming army lost food and grass, couldn't he see that this was a tiger that was about to starve to death?The two wolves killed each other instead of sharing the food of the dying tiger. What was the reason?
With this kind of thinking in mind, Boshuoktu rushed to Huamachi for the past two days, while quietly sending someone to contact Ilduqi, hoping to reach a "cooperation" with Ilduqi in private.To this end, Boshuoktu even promised that as long as the battle goes well this time and he can stably acquire the Huamachi area, he will assign to Yilduqi the pasture closest to the old camp of Yijinhuoluo. He also gave him three thousand sheep as a reward.

Considering that the economic strength of the Ordos department is not as good as that of Tumet, this can be said to be a very sincere transaction. Boshuoketu thinks that Ilduqi likes to make small calculations, and most of them will accept it.

The spy came back a night later than he thought, but the news he brought back was not bad.Ilduqi sent him a letter with good paper. In the letter, he first stated that he was indeed following the high and pragmatic army, but this was only because "father's fate was hard to defy". Very unhappy.

Then he also mentioned an important reason for his unwillingness, saying that Gao pragmatism is a very big-hearted person, and he is very disrespectful to him. Dissatisfaction—Ilduzzi is more than ten years older than Gao Wushi, of course he is not happy to be treated like this.

Only then did Ilduqi respond to Boshuoktu's proposal, saying that he basically agreed with Jinong's arrangement.It's just because of the consideration of "father's fate", he can't leave with his cavalry now, and he can only pretend to be attacked after Jinong's army starts to attack. , while fighting and retreating, to create conditions for Jinong to "heavy damage or annihilate the Ming army".

At the same time, he was slightly dissent about Jinong's reward - he thought that the Huama Pond was much better than the pasture Jinong was willing to allocate to him.Therefore, he also hoped that Jinong would promise to give him another [-] cartons of salt every year after Huamachi got it.If Jinong could agree, he would completely agree to this matter, even at the risk of being punished by his father after returning to the old camp.

When Boshuoktu saw the letter, he sneered at first, and said to the people around him: "Ilduqi wrote me a letter with such high-quality paper, to show the benefits of joining the Ming army, and to threaten me if I didn't do as he said. If you are rewarded, he will continue to help the Ming army, hum."

Everyone saw the good paper in his hand, and they were quite envious—no joke, when Ji Neng asked for the seal, Yu Qijing wrote the tribute table and handed it to Wang Chonggu, then the then governor of Xuanda. The words were not humble enough, and I demanded that I write them all over again.

And guess what?Waiting outside the gate, Qie Jin quickly sent someone to reply, saying that it was easy to write the tribute form, but there was no good paper on it, so I asked Taishi Wang to give me some paper first...

From this, it can be seen that the best paper is really a rarity in the sleeve department. Il has chosen such good paper to write letters, and there should be some purpose.

A general said angrily: "What is there to show off? When the worship is done this time, let's not talk about a flower horse pool, even if it is possible to take Yansui and even Shaanxi. At that time, as long as Tongguan is guarded, Guanzhong It's ours, let alone a piece of paper, what if it's [-], don't you want it?"

Another general said: "This matter seems to be a bit contradictory. Ilduqi said that Gao Wu was so big in front of him, and at the same time he was able to take out such a good paper..."

Boshuoketu waved his hand and said: "There is nothing contradictory about this, Gao pragmatism is nothing more than the habit of those pedantic scholars in the Ming Dynasty, but he is not a fool after all, so naturally he will use some things to bribe Ilduqi, this is also Mingren's consistent behavior. Ilduzzi just wanted to tell me that although he was not very happy in front of Gao pragmatism, at least he still had some gains. If I didn't meet his requirements, he would not disobey all the orders. ."

The general suddenly said: "Oh, he is bargaining." Then he paused, and added: "I have read a lot of books by the Han people, how can I talk and do things in so many devious ways? It's really not like our Mongolian warriors. , fortunately their father and son still have the title of Batur."

Boshuo Ketu was too lazy to say this, thought for a while, and said in deep thought: "Twenty thousand car salt is not a small amount, but if I can win the Huama Pond, I can afford the salt, and if I can beat Gao pragmatic... …”

Thinking of Gao Wushi's illustrious reputation in Mongolia, and the prospect of his own popularity rising after defeating Gao Wushi, Boshuoketu's blood boiled, and he said slowly and forcefully: "This condition is nothing."

All the generals were full of praise, and some of them said: "Yes, if Jinong can defeat the Ming Dynasty's Grand Master Gao, it is like Alutai captured the Ming Emperor, from Monan to Mobei, from the right wing to the left wing, and others. Who dares to disobey him? My Erdos department will no longer have to look at Tumet's face and act."

Another person added: "Not only that, we'd better capture Taishi Gao alive, I heard that he and Emperor Zhu are classmates and friends, and we will take him to talk to Emperor Zhu at that time, and let us from the Ordos Department. Gong City no longer has to be under the jurisdiction of Tumote, so that it can truly appear that the Ordos Ministry is not under Tumt!"

This statement is more practical, because when Alta granted tribute, King Shunyi was Alta, and Alta controlled the entire right wing, including the Ordos, so the Ming Dynasty stipulated that all members of the Mongolian right wing should be in the right wing. Gong City is under the jurisdiction of King Shunyi, and King Shunyi will report to the court in advance the size of the tribute market they need every year, as well as what kind of goods are roughly traded. The court will determine the final trade volume and other details based on the report of King Shunyi. .

It is also for this reason that the King of Shunyi has to some extent mastered the economic lifeline of the Ordos Department and the Qinghai Tumote.But this is also a double-edged sword. When the rulers of the Ordos Department or Qinghai Tumet think that the amount of tribute he has received is insufficient, they will hold a grudge against Tumet and think that King Shunyi is unfair, and then form a rebellious mentality.

When Boshuoktu heard this, he also agreed and said proudly: "Yes, I am Jinong of Mongolia, the lord of [-] households in Ordos, why should I listen to Hannaji? The power of self-determination of this tribute city must be taken back. !"

This seems to be very domineering, but he seems to have forgotten one point: don't you still want Gongshi?

But some people remembered that the general who advocated winning Guanzhong before said: "Jinong's words are naturally reasonable, but this is what we need to do when we can't win Guanzhong. If we can successfully win Guanzhong, this Whether Gong City still needs it, I don’t think so.”

However, in fact, the ambitious idea of ​​"taking Guanzhong" was not really favored by most people, so everyone did not think carefully about what to do after winning Guanzhong. After listening to his words, someone asked: "As long as you take Guanzhong In Xiaguan, do we have everything we need?"

The general replied: "That's natural. I have learned before that Guanzhong was the former hometown of the Qin State, and the Qin State was able to rule the world with Guanzhong. It can be seen that Guanzhong is rich, and these goods are definitely not lacking. As long as we can win Guanzhong, There is no need to discuss the tribute market with the Ming Kingdom at all, and you can even consider following the example of the past and go south to take Sichuan!"

Boshuoktu was overwhelmed with emotion, and slapped the table: "Okay, well said! In that case, let's not delay, we will reply to Ile first to settle the matter. Whether it is Guanzhong or not, Regardless of Sichuan, if we want to get our hands on it, we must first defeat Gao pragmatic!"

Everyone agreed in unison, and their spirits were high, as if Guanzhong was within easy reach, and even Sichuan was close at hand.

The so-called "Long and Wang Shu", but now Long has not been achieved, they have already begun to look to Shu...
