Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 542 The grassland respects the strong!
No one likes war, unless they are people who advocate killing. War is often accompanied by death. Anyone involved in the vortex of war will have an unforgettable experience.

The temperature in the grassland dropped sharply late at night, the bright moon in the sky was obscured by dark clouds, the sky and the earth were pitch black, and the howling cold wind made people tremble.

From time to time, the howling of wolves can be heard from afar, making people nervous!

crackle~
In a dense forest, a burning bonfire dissipated the cold air. The crowd gathered here, each wearing armor and holding a sword, leaning against each other and sleeping soundly. On the edge of the dense forest, some sharp warriors wearing armor and holding swords stood on guard. Or hidden in the trees, the whole area is so quiet.

"My troops have been sneaking from the Puhe area and have been marching all the way from Liao for seven days." But at one place, a low voice sounded, and even the words were slightly hoarse.

"This is the Liaozuo front line, and this is the Inner Khalkha tribes."

He Shixian sat cross-legged, his tiger eyes staring at the generals in front of him, and the stones he held in his hands were placed on the ground, "This is Horqin, and these are the three guards of Jianzhou. Now that our troops have successfully left Liaohe, all we have to do is to directly Fight Horqin!!”

A word stirred up a thousand waves.

Many of the generals who gathered around looked shocked when they heard what their chief military officer said. It was obvious that they had not expected this.

The first general said in shock: "General Rong, you led the junior generals and others to leave the Liaozuo front line, and even pretended to be horse bandits on the grassland. Didn't you actually want to detour and attack the Liaohai and Tieling guards?"

"Keep your fucking voice down!"

He Shixian glared and let out a low voice, then looked around, frowned and said to the generals in front of him: "Just to make a detour and blitz the Liaohai and Tieling guards and take back these fallen territories from the hands of the Jianlu, I need to do it myself." Danger, will I lead you to do this?"

The generals in front of them looked at each other with different expressions.

In fact, when they first attacked with He Shixian, they were murmuring in their hearts. Although the battle situation on the Liaozuo front line was relatively stalemate, the advantage was in their hands!

Just for the Liaozuo border defense line and the dug tunnel defense line, even if the Jianlu troops attacked very fiercely and risked their lives in battle, it would be extremely difficult to break through these defense lines!
Under such a premise, Liaodong Governor Xiong Tingbi ordered Liaodong Commander-in-Chief He Shixian to personally take the risk of bypassing the Liaozuo front line and lead an elite cavalry force to kill the Liaohai and Tieling guards. For those who are not familiar with Liao affairs, this may seem a bit strange. It was a novel idea to disturb Jianlu's rear, but for those familiar with Liao affairs, this was obviously useless.

"Zongrong, aren't you afraid?"

Shen Shikui hesitated for a moment, raised his head and looked at He Shixian and said: "It is completely different to lead his troops to attack the Liaohai and Tieling guards in a surprise attack, and to lead his troops to surprise the Horqin troops."

"Yes, this time the Jianlu invaded our left border of Liao Dynasty, the Horqin tribes dispatched many Mongolian cavalry to participate in the battle, but there must be elite guards in Horqin. After all, since Huduntuhan (Lin Dan Khan) succeeded to the throne, Horqin The relationship with Chahar is very delicate, and it is precisely this that causes the relationship between Horqin and Jianlu to be at war with each other..."

"Don't I know this?"

He Shixian glared and said: "I also know that Hu Duntuhan converted to the Sakya sect of Tibetan Buddhism. This incident caused a great sensation in the Monan tribes. This kid's ambition is not small. He knows that the Gelug sect of Tibetan Buddhism is on the grassland. impact, so I want to change something through this move.”

"Is there still this?"

"Never heard of it?"

Some generals couldn't help but murmured when they heard this. For them, they were good at asking them to kill people with swords, but when it came to sects, every one of them turned black. When He Shixian saw this scene, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

He didn't know this for long.

It was Xiong Tingbi who told him this. He Shixian didn't know whether this sect or that sect were all Tibetan Buddhism. So what's the difference?

"Okay, listen to me."

He Shixian coughed twice and continued: "Our surprise attack on Horqin this time is not the banner of our Ming army, but the banner of Chahar."

what? !

As soon as they heard this, some generals couldn't sit still. They took such a big risk to go deep alone and rushed to Horqin. It was unknown what would happen in the meantime.

Now tell them, even if the surprise attack on Horqin this time is not carried out under the banner of the Ming army, but under the banner of Hu Duntuhan, what will they get?
"General Rong, the military order you received this time is mainly to involve Chahar, right?"

Under this situation, a young general standing on the edge of the crowd looked out and asked: "The purpose of our department is not to kill many people, but the key is to pose a threat to the Horqin tribes?"

"good."

He Shixian showed an expression of approval, stretched out his hand and said to the young man: "Huang Long, I really saw you right. This is exactly what the department meant. There are some things you don't understand."

"This time the Jianlu invaded the Liaozuo front line. According to the situation seen by the department, the Jianlu did not want to invade Liaozuo, but wanted to contain our army and prepare for their surprise attack on North Korea. However, this battle has not been fought until now. , but the department found that something was not right, this Jianlu seemed to have a red eye."

"The snipe and the clam are fighting over each other and the fisherman is profiting. The Ministry will definitely not let it happen. If this is the case, then just start the war and let more people participate."

"This Chahar tribe has been going to the Inner Khalkha, Karaqin and other tribes several times since we reopened the border in western Liaoning, and ordered them not to exchange their possessions with me in the Ming Dynasty. You son of a bitch, this tiger and rabbit The silly wolf is very ambitious, so what we want to do is very clear."

"With thousands of our elite cavalry, and we are still going deep alone, I'm afraid this battle will be quite difficult." Huang Long frowned slightly and said in a low tone: "If during this period, our army's food and grass are cut off, then... …”

"Afraid of me? What's the use of the knife in your hand?"

He Shixian glared and shouted: "I tell you, many people will die in this battle, but don't forget, if we can succeed in this battle, once the situation in Liaodong changes drastically, our Liaozuo ministries will not only be able to regain the lost territory , can also re-establish the Eight Banners, and even weaken the Mongolian and Tatar tribes around Liaohetao. So as long as this battle is passed to Beijing, the promotion will be small, and if it goes wrong, it will be edicted!!!"

Taking advantage of the previous great victory in Liaozuo, Zhu Youxiao rewarded a group of military generals with titles. Although they were not hereditary, this had a great impact on the Ming army, especially the various departments of the Ming army who guarded Liaodong. At least some of them started to fight again. Come on, whoever dares to put their heads in their waistbands and fight the invading enemy with all their might!
And this is exactly what Zhu Youxiao wants to see.

If you want to revive the Ming Dynasty's military power, it is not enough to rely on internal military reforms alone. You must have sufficiently stimulating rewards. Only in this way can morale be stimulated.

For Zhu Youxiao, by suppressing the Jianlu rebellion and the Tusi rebellion, even if he was awarded hundreds of titles, he did not feel any psychological pressure at all.

The more titles and awards you receive, the greater the changes in the Ming army. From now on, whether the Ming army is going north, west, south, or east, when it launches campaigns, as long as it can ensure the supply of military supplies, it can face the challenges it faces. Opponent, the territory of the Ming Dynasty must be expanding slowly! !
When this trend is promoted, and with the implementation of the overseas migration strategy, the movement of these groups of lords can also begin immediately! !
