Rebirth of Zhu Di's son

Chapter 342 I won’t give up until I kill the emperor!
and Lincheng.

Thirty miles east.

The current Taishi of Beiyuan is in the military tent of Alutai.

"To inform the Grand Master, the Ming Army launched a fierce attack on Helin City with artillery. It was inevitable that the Ming Army's scouts would discover it. We did not dare to get too close, so we were unable to find out the detailed battle situation. Please forgive me, Grand Master."

After the scout captain entered the account, he bowed and reported.

Arutai was silent for a moment while stroking his beard, then nodded, waved his hand and said, "The Ming army is powerful, I don't blame you, please step back."

"Thank you grand master!"

The scout captain hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.

"Father, I would like to lead three thousand fine cavalry to support He Lin."

A tall and sturdy general with pigtails and a scimitar tied to his waist walked out of the queue and bowed to Arutai.

This man's name is Abu Zhi'an, and he is the second son of Arutai.

He studied in the Ming Dynasty (hostage) for three years in the middle period of Yongle. After completing his studies, he returned to his hometown (repatriated) as a martial arts official. He won the respect of Alutai for repeatedly leading troops to defeat Ulliangha's troops.

"hold on."

After hesitating for a long time, Arutai spoke slowly.

"Father, our lips are dead and our teeth are cold, we can't watch the Ming army attack Helin!"

Abu asked me to salute again.

"Second brother, don't you understand the principle of 'sitting on a mountain and watching tigers fight'?"

Angkopolo couldn't help but walked out of the queue and retorted: "What's more, even if you bring five thousand fine cavalry, what will happen? Do you think that the number of cavalry can block the Ming army's artillery?"

He is the third son of Arutai. Although he is cunning and suspicious by nature, he is brave in battle, and he is also young and powerful (more than thirty years old).

"Could it be that my second brother was moved by what that boy Mao Sheng said just now and plans to take away three thousand fine cavalry to surrender to the Southern Emperor?"

When Angkopolo said this, he saw that Abu didn't say a word, so he smiled sadly.

The "Mao Sheng" he calls is Mao Antai's second son.

Mao Antai, a Chinese Mongolian, was originally named Alitai and was Alutai's elder brother.

Therefore, Mao Sheng is Arutai's nephew, and he is cousin to Angke Polo and Abu.

Mao Sheng's uncle Na Hai joined the Ming Dynasty along with Mao Sheng's father Mao Antai and other relatives during the Hongwu period. Later, he made contributions during Yongle's first personal expedition to the desert and was promoted to the rank of commander of the capital.

Since Na Hai died of illness and had no children, Zhu Di'en allowed Mao Sheng's father, Mao Antai, to serve as the commander of the guards.

During Zhu Di's second northern expedition, Mao Antai accompanied him. He was injured during the war and later died of illness.

During Zhu Di's third northern expedition, Mao Sheng's elder brother Mao Ji took over Mao Antai's post and followed the army northward. During this period, he achieved military exploits, but died of illness before he was promoted.

Therefore, in the 19th year of Yongle's reign, Zhu Di appointed Mao Sheng as the commander of the imperial guards.

In June of the second year of Qianxi, Mao Sheng was transferred by Zhu Gaoxu to be the commander of the Shaanxi Pu Second Battalion.

After Zhu Gaoxu learned that Arutai had led troops to help Tuanhuan, he took Mao Sheng, who was related to Arutai, with him.

Just half an hour ago, he sent Mao Sheng as the imperial envoy to persuade Arutai to surrender, but he was kicked out by Arutai.

"Shut up! Angkopolo, do you know what you are talking about?"

Arutai clenched his fists with both hands, smashed the table in front of him, and yelled loudly: "The purpose of the Southern Emperor sending Mao Sheng here is to disturb the morale of our army! It's not like I have never killed the envoy of the Ming Dynasty. If he hadn't come here, It’s Mao Sheng, do you think he still has the life to go back?”

The trigger for Zhu Di's second northern expedition that year was that Arutai killed the Ming Dynasty imperial envoy from the Ministry of War to Guo Ji, who was involved in the incident.

"Father, look at my second brother. The child just said it casually and he reacted like this. There must be something wrong in his heart!"

Angkopolo pointed at Abu Ji'an, who had a gloomy face and clenched his hands without giving in, and said aggressively.

"Shut up!"

Arutai was furious and slammed the table again. Suddenly he stood up, raised his finger and pointed at Angke Polo and said: "Get out, get out!"

"Father!"

Angkeboluo knelt on his knees, bowed his head and said, "My child realizes that he was wrong. Please beg your father to calm down!"

Arutai had many children, but the most important ones were the eldest son Ye Xian Polo, the second son Abu Ji'an, and the third son Angke Polo. The remaining sons were all mediocre and not outstanding, and some were still relatively young.

However, when Xian Polo led his army south to plunder the villages and towns of the Ming Dynasty last time, he was shot and killed by the Ming army in a surprise attack. So now the only sons who can be used in Arutai's hands are the second son Abuji'an and The third son is Angke Polo.

"My attitude is very clear. The Oara tribes have always been at war with me, Mongolia, especially the Choros tribe (Arutai killed Mahamu). This time I came to help Tuhuan, in addition to the principle of lip-destroying teeth, There are two other important reasons.”

Arutai ignored Angke Polo, but looked around at the tribal chiefs and generals in the big tent, and said slowly: "First, if we win this battle, even if it is a tragic victory, as long as we can repel the Ming army, Then we can reverse the predicament of more than ten years, negotiate with the Southerners, and ask the Southerners’ court to increase the amount of trade in various materials with the grasslands.”

"I won't go into details about the importance of all kinds of materials, but everyone knows it."

"It stands to reason that Emperor Qianxi would not agree, but what we defeated was his reorganized new army!"

"Emperor Qianxi is a man who understands current affairs. His court is undergoing various reforms. The first defeat of the new army is an unexpected failure of his governance. For the long-term plan, he will temporarily choose to agree to us to gain time to sort out the internal affairs and continue Training new troops.”

"And we also need time! Emperor Yongle's three expeditions to the north destroyed the hearts and minds of all the grassland tribes. Most of Moxi, Modong, and Monan have fallen into the hands of the southerners. We must take back these places one by one!" He said When I arrived here, I saw that all the chiefs and generals were excited to hear it, so they slowed down and said: "There is also a second point, that is, after this victory, the generals of the Moxi tribes, including the Choros tribe headed by Tuohuan, By becoming our vassal, Helin City will return to the rule of the Great Khan's Court, and our strength will be enhanced!"

"Report!"

Arutai's passionate speech had just ended, and while the chiefs and generals were thinking about a bright future, a messenger hurried into the tent, saluted and said loudly.

"Say."

Arutai sat down again, then looked at the messenger and said loudly.

"Reporting to Grand Master, the Ming army used a new type of artillery to create many gaps in Helin City. Now thousands of Ming troops have begun to ascend the city. Emperor Qianxi is personally supervising the battle from the rear. Helin City is in danger."

the messenger replied quickly.

"Explore again!"

Arutai immediately ordered.

The messenger bowed to accept the order, and then quickly exited the tent.

"Father, this opportunity must not be missed, it will never come again!"

Angke Polo, who was still kneeling on the ground, bowed his head and said: "My child is willing to lead three thousand fine cavalry to attack Emperor Qianxi!"

Arutai knew what Angkopolo said made sense, but he always felt that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed now.

Just when he was hesitating, another messenger walked into the tent in a hurry, knelt down and said: "Report!"

"Say!"

Arutai saw that the messenger was sweating profusely and gasping for air, so he said quickly.

The messenger hesitated and said: "This matter is of great importance, and I dare not say it openly."

Arutai's heart tightened.

He vaguely guessed what the messenger would report, and immediately said decisively: "There are no outsiders in this big tent, as you say!"

"Reporting to the Grand Master, the court of the Great Khan was raided by the Ming army. The Great Khan (Bor Jijin Adai) was captured. Most of the generals were killed or wounded, and all the troops broke up and fled."

The messenger bowed his head.

Arutai, Abjia'an, Angkeboluo and the chiefs and generals present were all shocked when they heard this.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Arutai immediately changed his face, pointed at the messenger and yelled: "Come here, pull down and chop this evil thief who pretends to be a messenger and disturbs the morale of our army!"

"Master, have mercy on me! Master, have mercy on me! Master, have mercy on me!"

The messenger realized that Arutai wanted to use his head to appease the soldiers, so he immediately kowtowed and begged bitterly.

"Where is Angkopolo?"

Seeing some hesitation among the guards around him, Arutai looked decisively at the third son and shouted loudly.

Angkopolo understood the idea, stood up quickly, walked quickly behind the messenger, covered the messenger's mouth, quickly pulled out the scimitar from his waist, and cut the messenger's throat.

"You have all seen it, this is the result of disrupting the morale of our military!"

Arutai didn't blink an eyelid, looked coldly at the twitching messenger lying on the ground, looked around at everyone and said.

Although he said it nicely, he was horrified in his heart!
Adai Khan is the contemporary orthodox Great Khan of Mongolia, equivalent to the emperor of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. The imperial court was breached and the Great Khan was captured, which means the destruction of the Northern Yuan Dynasty!
The intelligence previously received by Arutai showed that Emperor Qianxi of the Ming Dynasty personally led an army of [-] people to the north from Heishui City, and there were no other Ming troops.

This was one of the reasons why he dared to take away all the elite cavalry under his command.

Of course, just in case, before Arutai left for the west, he specially transferred a large number of young men from other ministries to strengthen the protective force around the royal court.

Later, after finding out that two Ming armies entered Modong and Modong respectively, he guessed that Zhu Gaoxu sent a total of three armies to the north this time.

Therefore, in order to consolidate the royal court, Arutai ordered all males over the age of 12 in the entire Luqu River Basin to be gathered outside the royal court to guard the Great Khan.

But the Ming army still captured Adai Khan!
The Great Khan is dead and can be re-established.

The royal court is destroyed and can be rebuilt.

However, once all the elite knights under his command were lost, Arutai would become a tiger without its claws and claws. Let alone the establishment of a great khan to rebuild the royal court, he would probably have no bones left!
In other words, if he joins forces to fight Emperor Qianxi of the Ming Dynasty this time and loses, he will completely lose everything, including the chance to make a comeback!
"Send the order and send out troops immediately to attack and kill Emperor Qianxi!"

Arutai swore loudly: "I will never give up until I kill the emperor!"

"I will never give up until I kill the emperor!"

Angkopolo followed closely and shouted.

"I will never give up until I kill the emperor!"

The generals and leaders at the scene were also moved by the emotions of Arutai and his son, and raised their hands and shouted.

They all understand that this battle is a battle that determines their life and death.

If you win, you can get back everything you lost.

If you lose, there will be no chance of making a comeback!
