Horse hooves form in formation, as powerful as a dragon!
After a day of repairs, the Ming army divided into two groups. One group was mainly infantry and went straight to Xuanda. The other group was all cavalry, led by Zhu Youxiao himself and headed for Chahanhot!
Chahanhot, as the last capital of the Mongolian Empire, was also known as the Vajra White City. After comparing the records of Han and Mongolian documents, later historians finally determined that this city should be located in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia in later generations!
In other words, if Zhu Youxiao's 35,000 cavalry wanted to attack Chahanhot from Liaodong Capital Command (Dandong), they would have to travel at least 1,300 miles. The biggest difficulty was replenishing supplies. Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao had already ordered He Shixian, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, to make adequate preparations!
He Shixian did not disappoint Zhu Youxiao. He prepared a large amount of food and grass in Shenyang, and set up two supply depots according to Zhu Youxiao's pre-determined march route, which was enough for Zhu Youxiao's 35,000 troops to put aside all worries. , headed towards Chahanhot as quickly as possible!
In order to make this attack more sudden, Zhu Youxiao ordered everyone except the Longya Guards and the Blood Banner Army not to carry muskets, because although muskets are easy to use, they need to be equipped with enough ammunition. Soldiers bring unnecessary burdens!
However, due to the need to siege the city, Zhu Youxiao still asked the Longya Guards and the Blood Banner Army to carry two hundred steel tiger squatting cannons. However, the ammunition for the two hundred cannons only carried three rounds of ammunition. In this way It's still to be able to raid Chahanhot faster and more suddenly!
Just when Zhu Youxiao led his army to attack Chahanhot at lightning speed, this prosperous Mongolian capital did not make many preparations!
Since the White Disaster last year, Lin Dan Khan has driven away half of the Mongolian tribes originally living in Chahanhot. Although some of the tribes who were driven away this year have returned one after another because the disaster has eased, but those who have not returned are still It's the majority!
Some of these people have already died in the war like Burigude, some have defected to other tribes, and some even simply set up their own families and live their own lives!
Faced with such a situation, Lin Danhan felt unspeakable pain in his heart. Since he was a child, he had ambitions to unify all Mongolian tribes and restore the glory of his ancestor Genghis Khan.
But he was not waiting for me. The various Mongolian tribes had different ideas. The rise of Hou Jin also put a lot of pressure on him. In addition, a wise king suddenly appeared in the Ming Dynasty and took care of all the Mongolian tribes and the Jurchens of Hou Jin. All kinds of meat and vegetables!
After surviving the natural and man-made disasters last year, Lin Danhan planned to lead his troops out for a walk to see if he could take the opportunity to gather some small tribes and expand his strength!
But since the ice and snow began to melt, the Ming army's movements have been frequent, forcing them to get closer to the Ming border fortress. However, some Mongolian tribes who were unwilling to join in had to move farther away!
Lin Dan Khan also paid great attention to the movements of the Ming Dynasty and kept sending people out to inquire about the news. Soon Lin Dan Khan received a report from the scouts. It turned out that the Ming Dynasty planned to take action against Hou Jin in Liaodong. The reason why he drove away the Mongolian tribes was because he was afraid that when the Liaodong War broke out, These Mongolian tribes are causing chaos!
After getting such news, Lin Danhan finally felt relieved. Since Daming didn¡¯t want to attack him, that would be the best!
And Lin Danhan also noticed a glimmer of opportunity from the actions of the Ming army!
Since those tribes that relied on the mutual trade between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty have been driven away by the Ming Dynasty, can we, as the Great Khan of Mongolia, persuade them to submit to us?
With such an idea, Lin Danhan could not suppress the throbbing in his heart, and sent people out one after another to contact these tribes. Although the results were minimal, Lin Danhan never tired of it!
Master Shar once advised Lin Dan Khan to assemble the army as soon as possible, collect food and fodder, and be ready to leave Chahanhot at any time. However, since Master Shar returned from the Ming Dynasty, Lin Dan Khan has been lukewarm towards him. Naturally, he would not take his advice seriously!
Master Shaer understood very well that the reason why Lin Dan Khan changed his attitude towards him was firstly because Lin Danhan was dissatisfied with the result of his last mission to the Ming Dynasty, and secondly because of the poem Zhu Youxiao gave him when he left the Ming Dynasty. "farewell"!
Although a small poem is nothing, if this poem is given to you by the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, then it represents too much!
It was only after Master Shaer noticed that Lin Danhan had changed his attitude towards him that he realized that the song "Farewell" was a sharp knife that Zhu Youxiao had stabbed into his heart!
But what if you notice it?
That knife has been inserted deep into the bone marrow, and it cannot be pulled out even if it wants to be pulled out!
So thisFor more than a year, Master Shar no longer wandered among various tribes as before, but lived in a solitary life. Except for the occasional visit to Lin Dan Khan, he did not see other people at all!
On this day, Master Shaer was chanting sutras as usual, and the young disciple who served him came in and reported: "Master, there is a Han man who wants to see you. He said he is your old friend in the capital!"
When Master Shaer heard that he was an old friend of the capital, he was also puzzled. Although he had been in Beijing for a long time, his contacts were all high-ranking officials. If such a person came to Chahanhot, he would definitely make a big splash, but I haven't heard of anyone from the Ming Dynasty recently. Is the delegation coming?
After thinking for a moment, Master Shar said: "Let him come in!"
The young apprentice bowed and left. After a while, the young apprentice took a young Han man into the Zen room of Master Shaer!
Master Shar took a closer look and saw that this man was young, with a tiger-like appearance and a pleasant smile on his face. He was wearing a Mongolian leather robe, but the hair ornaments on his head were from the Han people.
What surprised Master Shar the most was that this person looked very familiar, but Master Shar couldn¡¯t remember who this person was for a while!
When the man saw Master Shaer, he smiled and saluted and said, "Master, Xigen'er came to see you. How have you been this year?"
"Xi Gen'er!" Master Shar was shocked. Isn't this the boy who served him and Buri Gude in Honglu Temple?
"Why did you come to Chahanhot?" Master Shaer looked at Xi Gen'er and asked in surprise.
Xi Gen'er did not answer Master Shaer's words, but glanced at the young apprentice next to him.
Master Shaer¡¯s heart trembled, and then he said: ¡°He has been following me since he was a child, and he can¡¯t understand Chinese!¡±
Xi Gener then smiled and said: "The reason why I came to Chahanhot this time is mainly because Your Majesty asked me to bring you a message!"
"Your Majesty!" Master Shar was even more shocked. He looked at Xi Gen'er and asked, "Why would Your Majesty ask you to give a message to a poor monk?"
The smile on Xigen'er's face did not change, but his voice lowered a bit and he said: "The younger one is the Xiaoqi of Jinyiwei North Town Fusi, because he was arranged to be with you and Lord Burigude when he was in Beijing. This time, Your Majesty If I have something to tell you, I¡¯ll send my little one here!¡±
"That's it!" Master Shar smiled bitterly: "It turns out that when we were in Beijing, every move of the poor monk and Buri Gude was under your surveillance. No wonder His Majesty has such an accurate grasp of our bottom line. It seems that this It¡¯s all your credit!¡±
Although Master Shaer¡¯s words were full of sarcasm, Xigen¡¯er said indifferently: ¡°Master, don¡¯t blame me, this is all my responsibility!¡±
Now that things have happened, Master Shar will no longer care about these things. He calmly asked: "What message did Your Majesty ask you to bring to the poor monk?"
Xi Gener suppressed his smile and said solemnly: "Your Majesty said that the master should make a choice!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
