Starting in Saarhu, it is a bit difficult to make a comeback.

Chapter 79 The flower speculation department is coming (please subscribe, monthly ticket)

At the beginning of the 16th century, Dayan Khan unified Eastern Mongolia and built [-] households: Chahar, Khalkha, and Ulyangha on the left, and Ordos, Tumed, and Yongshebu on the right.

The original pasture land of Wanhu in Khalkha was in the Halaha River basin, so the river was named after Wanhu.

It was led by Dayan Khan's sons Geleshan Zataiji (Gelsen Zataiji) and Nali Bulataiji (Alchuborot).The only Taiji of Mount Gelje moved to the west of Mobei and became Outer Khalkha, while the Taiji of Nalibula moved to the south and became Inner Khalkha.

The five sons of Hu Lahachi, the son of Nalibula Taiji, Wubasai, Subahai, Wuban, Chaohua, and Dabu were in charge of the five tribes of Zhalut, Bahrain, Badao, Wozu, and Hongji respectively.Because flower speculation is the most powerful, it is also known as the "Five Camps of Flower Speculation".

Due to the rise of Jianzhou, the focus of Ming Dynasty's defense in Liaodong gradually shifted from Mongolia to Jianzhou.

This also led to the five Khalkha tribes headed by the Chaohua tribe to continuously penetrate into the Liaodong border of the Ming Dynasty.In particular, this flower speculation department has repeatedly invaded the Ming Dynasty and has replaced the previous barbarians as the number one enemy of the Ming Dynasty on the grassland.

However, at this time, the Fried Flower Department also had conflicts with the Jianzhou Jurchens, which eased its relationship with the Ming Dynasty and was in a state of sometimes war and sometimes peace.

The small leaders of the five camps of fried flowers are: Zai Sai, Claw Rabbit, Guo Bing Rabbit, Zhuang Rabbit, and Nuan Rabbit.

Among them, Zaisai is the most powerful, with tens of thousands of tribesmen and five thousand riders.

Occupying the former home of Fu Yuwei, he stationed his herdsmen in the middle reaches of the Liao River.Its power extends from Jarut in the west, across both banks of the Liao River in the east, to the south of Horqin in the north, and to the Ming Dynasty and Liaodong in the south.

In terms of location, they are closer to Guangning and have a good relationship with Marin, so Zaisai hardly disturbs Kaiyuan.

Yu Shouzhi guards Xiguan Ma Market and has many private transactions with the Huahua Department, so Mr. Liu is no stranger to Zaisai's camp.

After entering the big tent, I saw a young man with disheveled hair and wearing a fine leather jacket sitting upright.

At this moment, Zai Sai was drinking and having fun with some of his close friends, and he didn't have much reaction to Master Liu's arrival.

He just waved his hand and motioned Master Liu to sit down, and then said: "Keep playing music and dance."

Zaisai and the others drank fine wine, ate hand-caught mutton, and looked at the young dancers who kept twisting their bodies, thinking that Master Liu was nothing.

Although he felt unhappy, he could only stay with his smiling face at this time, who could ask for help from others.

Zai Sai waited for Master Liu for a while before signaling to stop singing and dancing.

While chewing the mutton, he said: "I heard that the commander-in-chief of Kaiyuan has been replaced. I'm afraid your life in the guerrillas will be difficult, right?"

No wonder Zaisai's attitude towards him was so cold today. It turned out that these Mongolians also knew the situation in Kaiyuan very well. I'm afraid that today's errand would be difficult to handle.

Master Liu said with a smile: "Liu came here today precisely for this matter. The newly appointed Kaiyuan Commander-in-Chief is none other than Li Xianzhong, who went deep into Hetuala and destroyed Jianzhou."

"Commander Li has reorganized the troops in Kaiyuan as soon as he took office. He will go out for raids soon. I'm afraid it's not my guerrilla family that will have a hard time, but your Hua Hua Department."

The "Liaodong War" between Ming and Jin was not only a matter for both sides, but the surrounding Mongolian tribes were also very concerned about the trends of this battle.

They have already been preparing their troops and preparing for a big fight.

As long as the Ming army fails or is severely weakened, they will quickly go out to plunder Ming's borders.

It's just a pity that although there are constant rumors about this war, there are all kinds of rumors.

But based on comprehensive intelligence analysis, Ming Dynasty should have won.

The carloads of captured prisoners' heads in Shenyang, as well as the heads of Li Yongfang himself, Amin and Abatai, all indicate that the Ming Dynasty won.

Although Nurhachi once came to the city of Shenyang, it was finally heard that the Ming army took the opportunity to raid his lair and destroy Gule Village.

These achievements without exception point to one person, Li Xianzhong.

Zaisai laughed loudly and said: "The Ming Dynasty's losses in this battle are not small. Now Jianzhou is still eyeing it. At this time, Li Xianzhong dares to come out and cause trouble for us?"

Master Liu said: "Other people would not think so, but don't forget, he is from the Li family in Liaodong. Li Chengliang started his career by fighting the Mongols. Now the Li family has to rely on it to rise again. Military achievements, aren’t their military achievements just piled up by the heads of aliens?”

Although Zaisai smiled very confidently, they were still very afraid of the Li family in Liaodong.

When the Ming Dynasty placed a high bounty on the heads of these Tatars, the two murderers Li Chengliang and Ma Fang used the Mongols as copies every day to make money.

It is precisely because of Ma Fang's reputation that they are polite to Ma Lin today.

Not to mention Li Chengliang, who has been powerful in Liaodong for more than 40 years. When the flower speculation department was strong, many people died in the hands of Li Chengliang and his son.

If it hadn't been for Li Rusong's unexpected death, I'm afraid they would have fled to Mobei by now.

But Zai Sai is not stupid either. It is impossible to believe that Li Xianzhong will come to sweep him away just by listening to a few words from Master Liu.

The Mongols also have many eyes and ears in Kaiyuan.

Soon he called a Mongolian into the tent, and the man said: "Li Xianzhong is indeed going back to the original route to reorganize his armaments. All battalions of the Ming army are recruiting soldiers for training, and all the soldiers who were originally empty pay have been replaced. In addition, the Li family The Liaodong cavalry has also arrived in Kaiyuan, and the Ming army seems to be showing signs of setting off."

That's how it is to deceive people. There is falsehood among truth, and truth among falsehood, leaving you unable to figure it out.Master Liu said proudly: "I didn't deceive Chief Zaisai. Li Xianzhong is indeed preparing to go on an expedition."

Zaisai said: "That doesn't mean that it's our Huahua Department that he's going to attack. Maybe he's going to attack Jianzhou again!"

Master Liu never expected that this Zai Sai could be so shrewd and not easy to fool at all. If he had known better, he would have gone to his uncle Nuantu first.

So he said: "The expedition to Jianzhou cannot be the result of sending troops all the way from Kaiyuan. It will be at least half a year before the imperial court sets off again. As for whether the target of Li Xianzhong's raid is the Huahua Department, Chief Zasai himself should know it well?"

In the past few years, the Fried Flower Division has repeatedly invaded the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming army basically beat up the Fried Flower Division; even before Yang Hao went to Jianzhou this time, he asked Li Rubai to raid the Fried Flower Division first last year.

At this time, Zaisai's tone softened a lot, and he said: "What's going on with Guerzhi? He couldn't just tell me, Zaisai, to be careful about Li Xianzhong coming out of seclusion, right?"

Master Liu said: "Yu Guerba really wants to ask for something this time. He hopes that the leader of Zasai will send troops to Xiguan. When the time comes, we will cooperate internally and externally to kill Li Xianzhong."

Zaisai never expected that Yu Shouzhi actually wanted to kill Li Xianzhong directly. It seemed that he was really driven into panic.

However, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good opportunity for the Huahua Department. They have been coveting the rich people who opened the original path for a long time. They were worried that they would not have the chance. Unexpectedly, the Ming army actually had internal strife.

He readily accepted the invitation.

After inspecting the battalions in Kaiyuan, Li Xianzhong and Yan Mingtai did not rush to Xiguan, but stayed in Kaiyuan City for another day on the grounds of inspecting armaments.

Kaiyuan Zhizhou Zhang Wenbing thought they were coming to check the accounts, which made him feel like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Unexpectedly, Li Xianzhong just took Yan Mingtai for a casual walk around the warehouse, checking whether the grain was moldy and whether the gunpowder was damp.

Then I took the account book and looked through it casually, but I didn't look at it carefully.

Fortunately, Zhang Wenbing's management is still relatively strict, and there are no obvious flaws.

Even so, he was still quite frightened.

This is the second time in a few days that Li Xianzhong has come to inspect armaments.

Who knows if he will be serious about it?
He had no choice but to restrain his men and refrain from tampering with supplies for the time being. After all, the Liaodong Manager and the Liaodong Governor had not yet taken office, and there might be several waves of inspections ahead.

Yan Mingtai said: "After Xiandi's renovation, Kaiyuanlu's appearance has taken on a completely new look. I think even if Xiong Jinglue comes to inspect it in person, he won't be able to find too many problems."

Li Xianzhong cupped his hands and said, "Let's rely on Brother Yan's reputation, otherwise these soldiers will not buy my account."

"But these troops can only hold on to Xiacheng Pass at most. If you want to attack, you still need elite troops. Currently, there are many new recruits in the Liaodong Iron Cavalry. This time it is just right to use the Mongolians to practice!"

Yan Mingtai said: "Brother Xian is so determined to keep his will and take risks?"

Li Xianzhong smiled and said: "Fifty-five, let's go. Anyway, if I was the one who was forced to do this, I would definitely not give in. It's just that this time I asked Brother Yan to compensate me for taking the risk together. I feel a little sorry."

"I held a banquet at Songhe Tower. Quan should apologize to Brother Yan in advance."

Early the next morning, Li Xianzhong and Yan Mingtai, escorted by 500 Liaodong cavalry, arrived at Qingyun Fort near Xin'an Pass.

At this time, Xin'anguan guerrilla Yu Shouzhi had been waiting for them at Qingyun Fort for a long time. When he saw that there were only 500 people around Li Xianzhong, a sneer appeared on his face.

Soon Yu Shouzhi welcomed Li Xianzhong and Yan Mingtai into Qingyun Fort.

Yu Shouzhi said: "There are 1500 people under the general's command. Now 500 people are stationed at Xin'an Pass. The remaining 1000 people are already at Qingyun Fort. We also invite General Li and Yan Supervisor to review."

It has to be said that a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on its saddle.Although half of the fort was filled with rabble-rousers brought in by Yu Shouzhi temporarily, he still looked very energetic in his neat red mandarin duck battle coat.

Yan Mingtai said: "This supervisory army has inspected all the troops in Kaiyuan in the past few days, and all of them are not as energetic as the guerrilla troops. It seems that the guerrillas spend a lot of time training their troops!"

Yu Shouzhi wanted to scold his mother. I spent a total of 2 taels of silver. How could it look untidy?However, he still said: "Jianjun Yan was so complimentary. This is what a general should do."

At this time, Li Xianzhong was sizing up the surrounding environment. Yu Shouzhi should not be able to attack him directly, and would definitely have to use external force.

Although he brought only 500 Liaodong cavalry, there was no problem in defeating a ragtag group of 5000 like Yu Shouzhi.

So he said: "Yu Guerrilla, let's start letting the brothers practice, just in time for us to see the style of your unit!"

Just as Yu Shouzhi was pretending to wave the flag, bursts of black smoke suddenly appeared from Xin'an Pass in the distance.

Yu Shouzhi pointed there in panic and said: "Oh no, the beacon tower at Xin'an Pass has been lit. If there is an enemy attack, it must be the Mongols coming to invade the border. At this moment, Xin'an Pass is empty of troops, so the general will lead people forward here." Go support!”
