Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 836
Defeating Xin Ai can't let others intervene?
Although Hannaji's reaction has always been unpleasant, but this time he understood.

Because only by defeating Xin Ai by himself can he prove that he has the ability to be Tumed's Chechen Khan.And the meaning of "self-help" does not mean that he cannot have helpers, but that he cannot have helpers other than Tumed.

If you think about it the other way around, you can say that Qiataiji thinks that Erdos Wanhu should not be allowed to intervene in this matter, and it is even better not to let Qinghai Tumed intervene, but to handle it in Tumed's headquarters.

Since Ordos Wanhu can't intervene, then obviously Daming can't intervene either. This is what Chataiji wanted to express, but he didn't say it directly.

Ba Hannaji didn't have any opinion on this. After all, defeating Xin Ai, judging from the current strength comparison, there really shouldn't be any problems.

Besides, how did Daming make a move?
The distance to fight Xin Ai is completely an "expedition" for Daming, and Xin Ai's department is the least Sinicized faction in Tumed's headquarters, let alone the faction that owns Daban Shengcheng. Compared with Jihuaji, or compared with Zhong Jinhatun, who owns Guihua City, even if he is a lot worse than Qiataiji, who has a vote of Taiji—at least Qiataiji still has Tuotuo City.

That means that Xin Ai's subordinates are basically nomadic groups that can migrate away at any time, and all the soldiers under her command are cavalry. As for the infantry of the Ming Dynasty, don't they have to follow Xin Ai to eat farts when they come to the grassland?

If it was like when Ma Fang was relatively active a few years ago, the three towns of Xuanda could gather [-] cavalry to fight by picking and choosing. Now, although a lot of horses are bought every year, the cavalry has not increased, and even fewer A little... I heard that the cavalry is basically maintained at Li Chengliang's place, right?Then let's talk about a ghost, can Li Chengliang fly over with [-] to [-] cavalry from Liaodong?Even if he could, wouldn't Daming want Liaodong?

Let's put it this way, given the current situation, if Li Chengliang's [-] to [-] cavalry dared to transfer westward, Liaodong would be a complete sieve. Tumen Khan could fight wherever he wanted, and no one in Liaodong could stop him.

After all, in the current Liaodong, Li Chengliang and his cavalry are supporting the scene-the Liaodong side is far away from the capital, and his awareness of building the city wall is not as good as that of Qi Jiguang who guards the north and east gates of the capital. Without that cavalry, the Mongols Immediately be able to walk sideways.

You know, in history, Liaodong overhauled the city defenses, which was already a matter of Sun Chengzong's time. Before that, it was at most minor repairs, because Li Chengliang felt that the credit for defending the city was really not enough. Cast on the cavalry.

Therefore, even if Da Ming wanted to help with Xin Ai's matter, it probably wouldn't be of much help.

Who knew that just as he was about to agree, Gao Wushi suddenly interrupted: "I think it's necessary for Daming to show his face about this matter."

Han Naji, Zhong Jinhatun, and Chataiji were taken aback for a moment, Chataiji frowned and said, "Why?"

"Don't worry about getting out of the way. Daming is just showing his face, not to share the credit...Da Ming's showing his face and attacking Xin Ai at the same time as Dacheng Taiji can make East and West Erdos dare not have different ideas."

The reason is very simple, and Chataiji can figure it out without his explanation, but he still frowned a little: "But why did Ming send troops? Now the troops are so expensive, and since there is going to be a Kuritai Conference all over Mongolia, it will definitely cause a stir. Ladies and gentlemen, we have to defeat Xin Ai first. And if Da Ming intervenes now... With Da Ming's habit, it will be very troublesome to send troops, and if Xin Ai and others find out, it will delay the military plan."

You can just say that it took too long for Ming to prepare to send troops, but I don't know.

Gao Wushi smiled, "There is no need to prepare much this time. I have [-] cavalrymen under my command, leaving [-] as the imperial envoys and guards, and sending the rest out to fight against Xin Ai with Brother Naji and Tuotuoqian." .”

Han Naji was overjoyed when he heard that.

Gao Yushi only left 1000 people, so he either left Magui's soldiers or the Jingying cavalry. It is impossible to draw 1000 people from his cavalry to stay.

As for Jinghua’s cavaliers, Hannaji knows something about him. His combat effectiveness is definitely not bad, and his weapons are particularly good. Not only are knives good, but also bows and arrows are not bad. It is very understandable that firearms are not very easy to use on horseback. Among other things, it is a big trouble to light the fire, let alone reloading the ammunition.

Chataiji also couldn't help asking: "The remaining one thousand is..."

"The cavalrymen of the Beijing camp are here to stay. If these people are lost, I won't be able to explain it." Gao Wushi said with a self-deprecating smile.

Of course, the three people in front of them would not misunderstand. Gao Yushi was not so much afraid of being difficult to explain, but rather looked down on their combat effectiveness and worried that they would embarrass Daming.

That is to say, Gao Pragmatically invested [-] soldiers—this is not weak. According to the normal situation of this era, the [-] cavalry servants of Ming Dynasty won the battle when the generals of the two sides had little difference in ability and prestige. The Mongolian cavalry of the same strength is not difficult.

This is not to say that the Mongolian cavalry is not good, but the servants of the Ming Dynasty were the core of the battlefield, and they were all carefully selected for food and drink, but they were also strict in normal times, and they were truly effective "armies".

What about Mongolia?Don't look at their open and closed discussions now, it seems that Tumet can pull out 2 fine cavalry at any time, but in fact, more than 2 of these "[-] fine cavalry" are professional cavalry that are basically out of production (according to According to various records during the tribute period of Anda, it is said that the elite of Anda consisted of more than [-] cavalry. If a large-scale expedition is made, it is enough to call the troops), and the others are troops that can be called at any time.

It's just that Mongolia's special situation makes his cavalry not require too much training. As long as the herdsmen hold weapons and mount their horses, they are cavalry.

Therefore, Gao Yushi opened his mouth to send four thousand servants for them to use. This is not a small courage, because the servants are elites.

Although Gao Wushi has made it clear that they are just going to show their faces and may not necessarily go out to fight, but fighting also pays attention to momentum. With four thousand more cavalry, even if they are just pressing the formation, not only the opponent has to defend, but also their own side. I will feel much more at ease.

So Chataiji agreed at that time, saying: "In that case, Tuotuo would like to thank the envoy for his kindness."

Han Naji also immediately said: "Brother Gao, I really don't know how to thank you, anyway Naji will never forget this friendship."

Gao Wushi smiled, and said again: "That's the deal with this matter, there is one more thing, maybe Daming can help."

"Brother Gao, please tell me, Naji will listen all ears."

Gao Wushi said: "I can send a letter to Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang and others, and ask them to allocate supplies with great fanfare and pretend to be preparing for an expedition."

"Oh...is this awe-inspiring Tumen?" It seemed that Hanaji was only a little slow to react, but he wasn't really stupid.

Gao Wushi said: "That's right, the more the two of them move in Jiliao, the less they dare to act rashly. This way, it may buy more time for Tumote to deal with Xin Ai."

Thanks again to Hannaji.

Gao Wushi looked around at the three of them again, and asked: "Then, why don't you discuss the deployment of troops for this time? Brother Ji, Princess Zhong Jin still has something to do, how many troops do you plan to send?"

This is the key point. The three of them looked at each other first, and then Chataiji spoke first, and calmly said: "I can handle it, all [-] cavalry will go out."

Gao Wushi was a little admirable when he heard it. This person really dared to bet with all his strength once he made up his mind. How many can one person fight?tens of?You can't really count as a thousand!This is not playing a game, massacring Novice Village with a full-level number.

When he made such a statement, Hanaji breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "I can send out [-] elite riders, and leave about [-] to guard Daban Shengcheng and protect Brother Gao's safety."

This is also a reason, after all, the Mongols are all cavalry when they fight. What if they don’t find Xin Ai when they go out here, and let Xin Ai go directly to Dabansheng City, and Dabansheng City has no one to defend, that’s terrible. It's a big deal.

Daban Shengcheng is lost, as long as Hanaji's strength is still there, he can get it back, but if he is stuck here, it will be a big joke.Especially now that he is making it clear that the chariots and horses support Han Naji, if he is captured by Xin Ai... Xin Ai is also a reckless man, and it is not impossible to kill him directly in a fit of anger to sacrifice the flag.

Zhong Jinhatun looked calm, and said: "Then, Wang Ting will give [-], and the rest will be left to guard Guihua City." Then he added: "These [-] are elites." The elite, that is the fighters I answered directly under back then, that is the real elite.

Gao Wushi heaved a sigh of relief, and said to himself that it was okay, the three of them still knew the importance, and they didn't play tricks.

But he thought about it again, and suddenly added: "No, we also forgot a force."

Han Naji was taken aback for a little bit, and said in surprise: "How could it be?"

Gao Wushi said: "Princess Zhong Jin, please use the seal of the King of Shunyi to issue an order in the name of the temporary regent, and the other Taiwan and Kyrgyzstans in the Tumote Ministry will send troops together... Well, this order is not only the order of the regent, but also I invite Brother Naji and Tuotuoqin to sign this agreement."

Chataiji understood very quickly now. This is to let other Taijis, big and small, know that the three parties have united. If they are smart, they should send people here as soon as possible, so as to show their loyalty to the new Great Khan. position.

Zhong Jinhatun also thought it was right to do so, and smiled: "It's a good idea, let's do it this way."

Of course she is very satisfied, because in this way, at least before the Kuritai Assembly is held and a new Great Khan is elected, her regent will have Hannaji and Chataiji to endorse her, and can even add Go to Daming.

Satisfied with Hanaji, he agreed with a smile.Only Chataiji thought for a while and said, "That's good, but they're different from me. Even if the Khan wanted to mobilize them in the past, he should be rewarded, but now it's the three of us..."

Well, that means, I'm afraid that more "rewards" will be promised, after all, the three of them together are not enough for I Da's prestige.

Then how this "profit" will be distributed again, but it has nothing to do with Chataiji. He himself participated in it for the sake of the whole Tumed, and he didn't say that he wanted to gain any benefits from this big event. Also let him out a copy.

The ones who benefited were Han Naji and Jong Jin Hatun - one of them can be a profuse sweater, and the other can win Xin'ai for his son. Of course, they should be responsible for both of them.

As for whether Han Naji is a man, he felt that he should be mainly responsible for this matter, so he said: "Let me arrange this reward. It is half of the original reward of Erbuge, and I will pay it all."

Erbuge means "grandfather" in Mongolian, that is to say, I answer.

Zhong Jinhatun was very satisfied, because in her opinion, this matter should be the responsibility of you, the preparatory sweat, and besides, you only have one son, Zhong Jin, and I, Zhong Jin, have three, let alone you. money.

But Han Naji suddenly remembered one thing, since he wanted to pay those Taiji soldiers, Gao Wushi also sent [-] elites, should he also give money?
At that time, he hesitated and glanced at Gao Wushi.

Gao Yushi, a fine person, naturally understood what he meant immediately, and immediately waved his hands and said, "Brother Ji on my side doesn't have to think about it, even if there is a reward, I will pay for it myself, and don't bother Brother Naji. "

In fact, Gao Pragmatism just didn’t take the Mongolian rewards seriously, because according to Mongolian customs, rewards are relatively limited, and ordinary soldiers can get a sheep even if they are given a heavy reward. In fact, they can only share a leg of lamb ...

This is not a joke. Many Mongolian herdsmen are equivalent to serfs. It is compulsory labor to help the lord fight the war. It is already a great gift to give a leg of lamb.

This time, the Taiji people they can recruit will bring more than 1 cavalry at most. He can count 2, and a sheep is only four or five taels of silver. Generally, several people need to divide it. Less than [-] taels.

And if according to this standard, there are only 4000 people on his highly pragmatic side, and it might be just 3000 taels of silver, then it's better not to, so as not to owe favors.

Ba Hannaji didn't really feel sorry for the few thousand taels of silver. He is the richest man in Mongolia now, but Gao Yushi was willing to spend his own money to help him, which still moved him very much. He felt that "Brother Gao" was really kind to him. , so his face was full of gratitude.

The matter has been negotiated almost here, and now it is only a question of the timing of sending troops.

Chataiji said: "If you want to fight, you have to be quick, and it's best to start the fight before Xin Ai knows our decision. As for the fact that the imperial envoy asked Qi Jiguang, Li Chengliang and others to frighten them, they are far away anyway. , Now the imperial envoy is sending someone to send a letter to Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang to get them ready, I think the time is about the same."

Thinking about Han Naji, he said: "It won't take long for me to gather the troops here, it will only take a day or two, and Uncle Tuotuo's troops have already brought it, which is more convenient. Zhong Jinhatun, yours How long will it take?"

Although he was already preparing to marry Zhong Jin Hatun under the secret connection of Gao Pragmatic, but after all, this matter has not been done, so it should be called Hatun.

Zhong Jin Hatun thought for a while, and replied: "I think otherwise, I will return to mobilize the troops immediately. After Dacheng Taiji's troops are mobilized, I will come to naturalize together with Chataiji, and then the army will gather together and then But let’s go straight to Xin Ai—anyway, Xin Ai is in the east, so it’s just right for you to go naturalized first.”

Looking at Han Naji and Chataiji, they both said it was just right.
