Chapter 631 The deployment of Huang Taiji
Chapter 631 Huang Taiji's deployment
Jirgalang explained in detail why Ajige was defeated. According to his explanation, the main reason was that Ajige underestimated the enemy and ended up being ambushed by the Hu Ben Army. He also explained that the Hu Ben Army's strength was also quite strong, and Brigadier General Zhang's main forces were all concentrated near Dongjiabao. The Hu Ben Army's strength was more than twice that of Zhenghongqi.
“More than twice?”
Ajig hummed softly.
"Azig, you are not qualified to speak, you just need to listen!"
Huang Taiji said angrily, ruthlessly slashing Ajige's face.
Ajige sneered slightly and didn't say anything. However, his expression obviously aroused the curiosity of some Mongolian princes and nobles. They were not idiots, so naturally they felt that Ajige's failure must be a bit strange. Huang Taiji wanted to hide the weirdness.
“That’s how it is.”
Jirgalang finally said.
"We must revenge!"
“No one can stop us from going forward!”
Huang Taiji set the tone for this military conference in a stern manner.
No one here has any objection to this. Their purpose of going south is to loot population and materials. Now, this looting has been strongly resisted, so they of course have to find a way to destroy it. The Hu Ben Army is a great hatred in the heart of the Great Jin Kingdom. If the Great Jin army suffers, they must find a way to avenge the revenge. The question is, how can they take revenge?
"Go south and push Dongjiabao!"
Haoge stood up and said loudly.
This is the idea of the vast majority of Tartar leaders.
Since Zhang Zhun is in Dongjiabao, the whole army will go south and fight to the death with Zhang Zhun.
The Jin army is currently strong and powerful. Even if the power of the Zhenghong Banner is damaged, there are still 70,000 to 80,000 people. Most of them are cavalry units with super mobile capabilities and good at volley shooting. Such strong forces are never before. If they have such powerful forces in their hands but cannot return with full load in the end, they will hit the wall.
Jirgalang pondered and said, "Who is willing to go south to take the initiative to attack Dongjiabao?"
Haoge couldn't wait to say, "I'll go!"
Zaisanbuhe also said: "The warriors from the Korqin grassland are also willing to go."
Among the tribes in Mongolia, the one with the closest relationship with the Great Jin Kingdom was of course the Korqin tribe. In addition to the marriage between them, the interests of the two were also the closest. The Korqin tribe had already gained great benefits when they invaded the first two times. After tasting the sweetness, they naturally followed closely behind the Great Jin Army. On the territory, the two were also bordered and could communicate at any time. To the east of the Korqin tribe was Guangning City controlled by the Great Jin Kingdom.
This time in Nanluo, the Korqin tribe dispatched a total of 18,000 cavalry, with the largest number of people. Lin Danhan was known as 400,000 cavalry back then, but in fact they were all bragging, and less than 50,000 people really belonged to him. Now, the Korqin tribe dispatched 18,000 people in one breath, without any discount, almost comparable to all of Lin Danhan's main forces back then.
"The Grassland Warriors are good friends of the Manchu Warriors!"
"This is beyond doubt!"
Huang Taiji was very satisfied with Zaisan Buhe's statement.
Zasangbuhe's statement is very critical. He is the most powerful among the three tribes. His statement has a great impact on the leaders of other Mongolian tribes. Since Zasangbuhe has expressed his statement, the other Mongolian tribe leaders actually dare not reveal any other thoughts in his heart.
The so-called strong winds tell the strong grass, and the country is in chaos shows loyal ministers. If everything goes smoothly in the process of Nanluo, Huang Taiji will not see the substantial mentality of the Mongolian tribe. However, now there are troubles in Ajige's Zhenghong Banner, and Nanluo seems to have encountered some setbacks. The Mongolian tribes have different minds, so he can see many tricks from it.
The Korqin tribe can be trusted unconditionally. There is no major problem with the Halashen tribe for the time being, but the mentality of the Tumote tribe may be shaken. If the Jin army continues to lose, this swaying mentality will be more obvious.
The Tumot tribe has always followed Lin Dankhan. Arislan was also one of Lin Dankhan's close confidants. Lin Dankhan died of illness. His son Ezhe was incompetent and incompetent, unable to continue to command the Mongolian tribes, and was eventually destroyed by the Jin army. Lin Dankhan's eight wives (Fujin) were also accepted by Huang Taiji, Haoge, Jirgalang, Daishan, Abatai and others, including the beautiful Namuzhong.
In fact, the beauty of these concubines of Lin Danhan is rare, which really makes many people envious. Among the Mongolians, many people tried to make their ideas. Especially when Lin Danhan was seriously ill, his concubines were not willing to be lonely and were mostly related to other Mongolian leaders. Arislan, the leader of the Tumot tribe, was one of them.
Women of nomadic people have no concept of chastity, and remarrying and transferring is common. In the past, one of Genghis Khan's wife was stolen by her enemies and raped and pregnant. Later, she was snatched back by Genghis Khan, but she didn't deal with it much. She was still one of Genghis Khan's wives. Her child was born and was listed as Genghis Khan's son, but she was not very famous later.
Arislan has good strength and has more than 10,000 troops. If Huang Taiji had not intervened, Arislan would have the opportunity to become the new Mongolian Khan after Lin Danhan's death. According to the Mongolians' usual practice, he could accept all of Lin Danhan's concubines and become his own concubines. Arislan did hope so. However, once Huang Taiji intervened, Arislan would lose both people and wealth.
Seeing Huang Taiji staring at him, Arislan hurriedly said, "Chechen Khan, I am willing to lead my army to attack Dongjiabao! I will never return unless I get Zhang Zhun's head!"
After Haoge, Yuetuo and others conquered Guihua City and finally surrendered to the Mongolian tribes, a total of 49 lords of all sizes and lords from the sixteen Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert gathered in Shenyang, recognized Huang Taiji as Khan, and praised the title of "Bogda? Chechen Khan". Therefore, Arislan wanted to call Huang Taiji as Chechen Khan. This title was only one level lower than the former Genghis Khan, and it also meant that it was rich in the world.
When Huang Taiji saw Arislan's eyes wandering, he knew that this guy was insincere. He knew that he had snatched the other party's woman, and the other party must be uncomfortable. The concubine of Tesna, whom Haoge married, was said to be Arislan's former mistress. He was just frightened by the powerful strength of the Great Jin Kingdom, so he did not dare to openly oppose the Great Jin Kingdom.
Information shows that Arislan has always had a close relationship with Lin Danhan's younger brother Shatu Taiji. Shatu Taiji was one of the ten summits of the Iron Laurel Konot at that time. After the Great Jin army conquered Guihua City, Shatu Taiji was missing. Huang Taiji had sufficient reasons to suspect that Shatu Taiji lurked in the dark and tried to be unfavorable to the Great Jin Kingdom.
Iron Lance Konot, also known as Lin Danhan's personal army, was named after the iron spear. The Mongols lacked iron and were able to use iron spear as weapons and equipment, which was very impressive. In addition, Iron Lance Konot also equipped the standard armor of Ming cavalry, and the protection performance was quite good. Sumu means commander. Iron Lance Konot, also known as Iron Lance Konot, has a total of ten commanders. The force is about 20,000.
Due to his excellent equipment, Iron Spear Konot was actually relatively combat-effective and has always been an important force for Lin Danhan to maintain the Khan throne. However, during his serious illness, the ten commanders had different thoughts and fierce internal strife. Some even tried to launch a rebellion and seize the Khan throne, but were killed by Lin Danhan. Due to internal chaos, after Ezhe came to power, he was finally ridden by the Great Jin army. If it were not for the internal strife of the Iron Spear soldiers, Guihua City would not have fallen so quickly.
This Arislan cannot be fully trusted, this is a judgment made by Huang Taiji. Since he cannot trust, this guy cannot be released casually. In other words, he cannot leave his side. For those who do not trust, Huang Taiji must always stare at him, and even consider finding a way to replace him. Therefore, Huang Taiji said with a smile: "The warriors of the Tumot tribe have more important tasks. You must be responsible for monitoring the movements of the capital."
Arislan's eyes suddenly dimmed. He was not a fool. On the contrary, he was very smart. Who is the fool who could control a tribe? Arislan knew that he was suspected by Huang Taiji, and his life would not be easy in the future. However, on the surface, he looked respectful and said piously: "Chek Khan's words are the decree of the eternal life. Arislan is obeying the decree of the emperor."
Huang Taiji smiled slightly, nodded gently, and said nothing.
This Arislan knows how to change his mind when he sees the wind! When he finds that he is suspicious, he immediately shows his piousness and tries to reduce his suspicion. However, it is because his ability to change his mind when he sees the wind that Huang Taiji will take special care of him. Since you can show so much piety to me, then, can you be the same pious in front of others?
The location of the Tumote tribe is far from the core hinterland of the Great Jin Kingdom. Near Guihua City (now Hohhot, Inner Mongolia), the Mongols in this area have always been close to the Ming people. The Ming Kingdom is located in Datong Prefecture in the south, and the Tumote tribe can directly exchange war horses for various materials from the Ming Kingdom, and basically does not need to rely on the breath of the Great Jin Kingdom.
What Huang Taiji was most worried about was that the Ming people vigorously won over the Tumote tribe and armed the cavalry of the Tumote tribe with advanced equipment. Huang Taiji was still a little worried about the iron spear Konot at the time. The so-called iron spear Konot was actually Mongolian cavalry equipped with full Ming army. If it weren't for the division within them, the Jin army might not have been able to kill them all at once.
He even thought that if this guy hooked up with Zhang Zhun, the Mongolian grassland might be in danger. With Zhang Zhun's eyes, it was impossible for him to realize the value of the Tumot tribe. For Ming Dynasty, as long as he grabbed the Tumot tribe, he would not only have no shortage of war horses, but also gain a very elite cavalry. It is necessary to guard against it!
"Huh... Why am I thinking so far?"
Huang Taiji suddenly tapped his fingers gently with self-deprecating.
His movement was seen by everyone around him. But no one understood what Huang Taiji's movement meant. How could they have imagined that Huang Taiji's thoughts had actually jumped so far in such a long time? Is there any connection between Zhang Zhun and the grassland...?
Hadan Batel, the leader of the Halashen tribe, stood up and said loudly: "I'll go too!"
This guy is a typical Mongolian man with a simple head and a very bright voice. Of course, simplicity is only relative. Which person with a simple head can be in a high position? He was also one of the top ten suburbs of the Iron Spear Konot at that time, and he is still known for his bravery. What Huang Taiji admired him the most was not his bravery, but his disagreement with Arislan.
The location of the Halashen tribe is in the north of Shanhaiguan. Because of the war between the Ming and the Great Jin Kingdom, there was no horse market here. In other words, the Halashen tribe could not obtain supplies from the Ming Kingdom and had to go through the Tumot tribe. The Tumot tribe intentionally or unintentionally made things difficult for the Halashen tribe and collected discounts from it. Normally, a war horse can be exchanged for fifteen taels of silver, but after the hands of the Tumot tribe, it can only be exchanged for ten taels, or even less than ten taels. Hadanbatel was surprised if he was not angry with Arislan.
Huang Taiji nodded and said, "Okay! Let's go too!"
The leaders of several other small Mongolian tribes also stood up and expressed their willingness to lead troops to Dongjiabao to completely flatten Zhang Zhun. They are small tribes, and what they need most is population and materials to strengthen themselves. For this reason, they are very enthusiastic about going south and will never retreat easily.
Huang Taiji shook his head and said, "Everyone, we can't be the only one in our eyes. He is not worthy of our participation together. You have more important tasks."
It is for sure to find Zhang Zhun's trouble.
However, this is not enough. The Jin army not only had to find trouble for Zhang Zhun himself, but also completely eliminated Zhang Zhun's nest. In other words, it was to razed Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture to the ground. In short, it was to divide the troops into two groups. They attacked Dongjiabao and continued to go deep into Shandong, but eliminated Zhang Zhun's nest.
As for the Ming army around the capital, there is no need to worry too much. The Ming army's combat effectiveness is limited. Even if it takes chicken blood and suddenly attacks, causing certain damage to the Jin army, it will definitely not be a match for the Jin army. In addition, judging from the collected information, the Ming court should be happy to see the demise of the Tiger Army.
"Haoge, you and Abatai lead your army south to Shandong to control the Ming army around Jinan Prefecture."
"Yuetuo, Jiergalang, you will lead your army to attack Laizhou Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture."
"The others, together with me, led their troops to attack Dongjiabao."
Huang Taiji was deployed soon.
