Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 869 Decisive Battle in Sand City ([-])
Tumen Khan really came bravely.

Of course, the great Zasaktu Khan himself didn't think he was here to step on the thunder. He felt that he still had a great chance of winning, because according to his and Brihatu's calculations, although the current strength of Shacheng may not be small, but But there is a big trouble, that is, the lack of "main force", not a core.

Taking Han Najib as an ambitious man who wanted to "usurp the throne" seemed to Tumen Khan too lacking in foresight, because he didn't bring all the main force with him when he went to the expedition. Wan to pick up the kiss!

It’s not incomprehensible to get married, but it would be too stupid to divide [-] troops. This will make Han Naji’s headquarters not have an advantage in the army that may be gathered in Shacheng—in other words, the army that may be gathered in Shacheng now, all You have ten thousand and I have several thousand, lacking a Dinghaishenzhen that can exist as a stable Chinese army.

This is a big taboo, so Tumen Khan feels that his chances of winning are quite good.

However, when he came outside Shacheng in person, he slowly frowned.

Fuck it, didn't you say that Shacheng is just some ruins? Why does this city look like the legendary Zhongdu?Look at those city walls, they are very magnificent, and they are not worse than Guangning—forgive this Mongolian Khan, the biggest "fortified city" he has seen before is nothing more than Li Chengliang's garrison , Guangning Town, Liaodong.

As for Guangning, because Li Chengliang prefers to take the initiative to attack, his own city defense construction lags behind that of the "western" border Xuanda cities under the "West Huai Dong System" policy.

If Tumen Khan was allowed to experience the city defense of Datong, he would know why when Alta Khan was so powerful, he could only look at the city and sigh in the face of Datong. He would rather threaten Yanjing than take Datong at all. , Xuanfu and other places.

Brihatu had seen the strength of the Xuanda defense line before, so when he saw the newly repaired Shacheng—or the city wall of Yuanzhong Capital, although he frowned, he was not so shocked.

However, Tumen Khan felt sweaty on his forehead, and asked hesitantly: "Buriha Tutaiji, what's the matter with this city? Didn't it mean that there were only ruins left in Zhongdu? Why can't Ben Khan look at it?" picture?"

Burihatu frowned and shook his head and sighed: "Ming people built a strong city, which is unmatched in the world. I have been to this sand city many times, and it was really dilapidated at the beginning. Now it is only a month before and after Gao Yushi entered Mongolia. The real repair time of this sand city is probably less than a month, why it can be repaired in this way, I can't say. But... Maybe it's just a show."

"Extreme appearance?" Tumen Khan took a closer look, then shook his head after a while and said, "Ben Khan doesn't look like that, take a closer look at those mottled city walls, some of which are old bricks and stones, which have turned yellow or even black." and the rest of the newly repaired places are azure——

I know this thing. Qi Jiguang used a lot of this material in the hollow enemy towers built on the Jiliao defense line. This thing is called cement, which is a unique material in Jinghua, and it is very strong.According to Ben Khan's experience, there are no such things as the Hongyi cannon and the general cannon of the Ming Dynasty, which cannot be broken. "

The main supply of cement produced by Jinghua is to build city defenses at the border. The imperial court has invested several 10 taels in it every year for many years. The least one year is 37 taels, nearly 40 taels, and the most one year is even as high as 70 taels. Two years (the year when the most hollow enemy towers were built), so don't say that Tumen Khan knows cement, Buri Hatu knows it well.

They all know something about the strength of the concrete city wall.Although the sand city in front of him only used cement to block the dilapidated city walls, and by the way reinforced some places that might not be stable, but for Tumen Khan, this was enough.

Because Tumen Khan originally planned to defeat Bahanaji in the field, and did not plan to fight any tough battles. Even for Guihua City and Dabansheng City, Tumen considered that after defeating Bahanaji's main force in the field, he would slowly Siege - the wealth in the city is also the goal of the Great Khan, who will count if it is broken?
At this time, Mongolia is no longer what it used to be. The ability to attack fortifications is already poor, and the Tumen are not prepared. It is even more difficult to take down the reinforced sand city.

What made him feel like he ate flies was that he couldn't see how many troops were in the city outside Shacheng, and the soldiers guarding the city looked like Ming soldiers through and through no matter which gate they were guarding.

Where did Tumet's cavalry go?All in the city?But what is the use of cavalry shrinking in the city?

What annoyed him even more was Hanaji's attitude. Could it be that Hanaji, the blood of the golden family, really planned to make a sweat under the wing of the Ming people!
Although Tumen Khan was angry when I replied to Daming back then, it was understandable. He knew that I was just trying to achieve success.What's more important is that, I replied that I should be a minister, but he didn't have the idea of ​​being a "erhan". The agreement between him and Daming is that he will be in charge of the Great Wall alone!
However, Da Ming did not directly intervene in any matters related to the outside of the Great Wall, but "handed over" to King Alda of Shunyi. Even including the Ordos Department, Da Ming could not be directly contacted for matters related to the mutual market, but had to go through King Shunyi first. agreed.

That is to say, even though it seemed like it was paying tribute back then, it actually borrowed the power of Daming, which in turn strengthened Tumed's leadership among the [-] right-wing households.

At that time, the two major decision-makers in the North and the South, Al Da and Gao Gong, were actually in a relationship of mutual utilization.I answer that I want to take advantage of the power of Ming Dynasty and really need the mutual market to "replenish blood" for Tumed. Gao Gong needs a stable frontier to ensure the smooth progress of domestic reforms, and at the same time concentrate on dealing with the Mongolian left wing and implementing the "West Huai Dong System".

Therefore, in the tribute payment more than ten years ago, although the two parties were called monarchs and ministers, it was actually a transaction of equal status. Apart from the name, I did not lose any "sovereignty".

But now Hanaji's performance made Tumen Khan feel like falling into an ice cave. This kid not only relied on Daming's support to usurp Chechen Khan's throne, but even put his military strength directly on Daming Under the shelter of his wings!
You really don't feel bad for selling your father's land!

"Brihatu, what you said before is really reasonable. If Ben Khan doesn't come this time, Tumed will really no longer be Tumed from Mongolia." Tumen Dahan said in a cold tone: "This high-practical man is indeed our great enemy in Mongolia. He really grasped this opportunity to the last minute. If Ben Khan hadn't come, it wouldn't take another ten years, maybe within three to five years, Tumed would be there." I changed my surname to Zhu from Bo'er Jijin."

Brihatu was so praised and affirmed by Tumen Dahan, but he couldn't say how happy he was. He still has a lot of worries now.

"Big Khan, I'm rather guessing wrong." Burihatu said with a worried expression on his face, "The key issue now is that since this sand city must be fought, it's... probably not easy to fight."

Tumen Khan's pupils shrank slightly, and he was also a little worried, but his tone was firm: "If you can't attack by force, then besiege them. This time, even if the strength of the Chahar Department is greatly damaged, Ben Khan will take down Gao Yushi! "
