In an era of extreme inconvenience in communication, the center not only cannot issue too detailed orders, but even the general policy should not be determined, so as not to contrary to the actual situation and harm the country's vitality... Read the latest and most complete novel, like this "Three Chapters of Ding Meng", those with insight feel that they are forcing the Mongolians to rebel, but there are also many naive people who believe that this is the favor of the Ming Dynasty to the Mongolians' foreign vassals, and the Mongolians cannot rebel because of this.

Because of such positive and negative opinions, when the order reaches the Second Army, we can only say: If Shuolei sincerely submits to the south, he is allowed to move south and support him; if he has a different intention, he will punish him.

This undoubtedly handed over the warfare power to the Second Guards Army, and thus attracted a round of discussion in the newspaper whether the warriors were too authoritative and might repeat the mistakes of the old military town not following the imperial edict.

"These people have no confidence in the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, no confidence in the instructors at all levels, no confidence in the military judges, and no confidence in the Jinyiwei... If a person has a suspicion that he has reached this level, he can only talk and can't do anything." Zhu Cixuan advised him in response to Chongzhen's concerns.

Chongzhen was not such a suspicious person in his early years, but after more than ten years of emperorship, even the chief minister Zhou Yanru, whom he trusted, lied about military information. Who could he trust? Fortunately, his spiritual healing over the years made him believe that people should trust each other, so he accepted his son's statement.

"The army often becomes one, so civil servants need checks and balances. Since you are quite confident, you just act as a wake-up call." Chongzhendu.

Zhu Cilang agreed with a smile, but did not explain that it is impossible for the army to be one in one place today.

In the old military towns, most of them were family nepotism, and the second was adopted son and son. A town was a family, so of course they were all in oneself. Nowadays, military sergeant graduated from the martial arts hall. Military officers graduated from the martial arts university, instructors graduated from the training school, military judges graduated from the law and politics school, and logistics officers graduated from various accounting schools... How can they be oneself together?

Especially the three guards, as the elite among the Ming army, His Majesty the Emperor's guard battalion when he was in the residence. All the equipment was at the forefront of the entire Ming army, and it has ensured that all officers at the school level and above all came from the military academy, and at least they had returned to the military academy for further study.

Especially in the three guards, His Majesty the Emperor himself was strongly deified and sacrificed his life to His Majesty and went to the Heavenly Court to serve as a heavenly soldier and general is the tangible belief of many guards officers and soldiers.

Under this circumstance, Zhu Cilang naturally had full trust in Xiao Donglou.

Trust is often mutual.

With the full trust of His Majesty the Emperor, Xiao Donglou naturally dared to make any decision, and he always had to take the best interests of the Ming Empire as the criterion.

The greatest interest of the Ming Dynasty now is to destroy Shuolei and support Wulihan, who is a pro-Ming, as Chechen Khan. On the premise of ensuring the safety of the food channels in the rear, conquering Tushetu, Zasaktu, and even the Tanuwulianghai, Kobdo and other places further west. They enclose the entire northern desert and attack the Oirat tribes in the west of the desert.

Xiao Donglou finally adopted the "request" of the Jinyiwei and implemented a limited crackdown on the Chechen Ministry, "cutting the carrot."

At the same time, Shuolei faces a tricky hand.

He and his sons all knew that they would be enemies with the Ming Dynasty and implement tricks. After crossing the main defense line of the Ming army, they would cut off the Ming army's rear route from behind and stab with a backhand. Not only could they obtain a large number of strong slaves, but they could also spread to the north of the desert. However, there was a very important prerequisite for such a plan: the Ming army did not know it.

If it is just to keep it secret, Shuolei can do it. But how can the tribe's people not be confused? If you tell each tribe from the beginning that you are pretending to surrender and actually going to war with the Ming army, then how can you guard against spies on the grassland? You must know that there have never been many professions like spies, and they may not be Han people. Mongolians may also become Mongolian traitors.

"Father Khan, my son has a way, maybe he can try it." Aheltu, the sixth son in his early twenties, appeared beside Shuolei and rode his old horse with hair loss. Although he was the youngest son, he was nearly ten years younger than Babu. His mother had a humble status and was destined to become a competitor to Babu.

No brother even looked at him with a look, until one day the elder brother Wulihan suddenly extended a hand of friendship to him.

"Say." Shuolei looked at the thin son, not very optimistic about him.

"Father Khan first gathered the trusted warriors in the tribe in the name of hunting, secretly informed them of the truth, and then refused to let them go out, so as to ensure that the sneak attack on the Ming army was not investigated by the Ming army." Aqieltu said: "For other tribesmen, we are widely publicized that we should surrender to the Ming court and go to the pastures with lush water and grass in the desert and Gobi to grazing, which will make the Ming army believe in our sincerity."

Shuolei felt that this method was not lit up, but it was also a countermeasure. As a Khan, he had his own guards. If he had a mindlessness and had no intention, he would take the initiative on the battlefield, ten thousand troops would be enough to defeat the Ming army.

"Babu, go and run for me, select the warriors close to each tribe into the guards, and we will lead the way south." Shuolei said.

Babu was excited. If helping his father Khan go to the Ming army to discuss affairs was a hint of inheritance of the Khan throne, then choosing personal soldiers to each tribe is a clear indication of the true inheritance of the Khan throne. At that time, he will hold the Chechen Khan's big flag and ride a horse on the grassland. Every Sumu tribe in the Chechen tribe who sees the big flag will have knights joining the horse team with their own weapons.

"Aqieltu," Shuolei glanced at his real young son, "You go and tell the heads of various tribes that we will surrender to the Ming Dynasty and live a leisurely and prosperous life in the south."

"Yes, father Khan." Aqieltu responded respectfully, but he felt deeply complaining in his heart, and thought to himself: What the elder brother said is right at all. This old guy just wants to leave everything to Babu. I have to take the blame for this kind of traitor! Haha, I see you, but he didn't know that my elder brother and I have already been on the back of the Ming people, and I will have my share in this ranch in the future!

Shuolei was completely unaware of this and still fantasized about the scene of becoming the Khalkha communist. As long as Tushetu Khan and Zasaktu Khan agreed to send troops this time, the Ming army would face the dilemma of attacking on both sides and eventually died in despair while the food and grass was cut off.

July of the fourth year of Longjing was the season when the grassland was lush with water and grass. The eldest son of the Chechen Khan, who returned to the court of Chechen Khan, brought "entourages" of Tushetu Khan and Zasak Khan, and said that the two great khans believed that only by joining forces could they fight against the northern invasion of the Han people, and were willing to send 10,000 warriors and 30,000 good horses to participate in the battle against the Ming army.

The army will enter Chechen Khan's territory in August, and Chechen Khan needs to send people to contact us to avoid misunderstandings and frictions.

As the saying goes, "to be familiar but not to be born." Shuolei knew nothing about the betrayal of his eldest son, and he did not believe that his son, who had been following him since childhood, would be betray him and surrender to the enemy. So Wulihan and Almu naturally became contacts to contact the other two departments, running between the two armies, conveying the news of the arrival of the army.

Aqieltu also promoted the benefits of moving south among the entire tribe, as well as the argument that the Ming and Meng abandoned past grudges and lived in peace.

In the entire Chechen tribe, only Shuolei, Babu and others knew that the army of Tushetu Khan and Zasak Khan were "facing closer" to Chechen step by step, and the other tribesmen didn't know that there was such a thing at all, let alone expose the fact that these two fictitious 10,000 teams did not appear.

In August of the fourth year of Longjing, considering that the friendly forces were already very close to the mouth of the Krulun River, Shuolei finally led the 10,000-person team led by Babu and the third son and the fourth son to the southeast, following the route designated by the Ming army, enjoying the food prepared by the Ming army at various military forts.

"These Ming people are really stupid. They don't know until they die. They have to take out food and grass to reward us!" Shuolei's third son Baoyin sermoned to his younger brother Ba.

Babu was quite happy with his plan, rode on the horse and said, "The Ming people are too arrogant. They thought we were declining now, so they sent such a few people to make us bow down and surrender. Dreaming! If this knife is not cut deeper, they will never wake up."

"Yes, yes." Baoyin agreed.

"Look, ahead is the Ming army's fortress, which is full of food and grass for 30,000 people to eat and use for a year." Babu said very enviously: "The Ming Dynasty is such a rich and ignorant country."

From Liaodong to Hulun Lake, there is a large military fort every 100 miles. Although it is a fort, it is no different from a small city. The fort wall is three meters high and is all made of local soil and stone mixed with cement. It is shaped like a military fort in the mainland. The walls are concave and there are two cannons on each of the four walls.

There are barracks of soldiers in the fort, centered on the bell and drum tower, as well as small playgrounds, military barracks, land temples, and the most important warehouses.

Because this military fort is closest to Hulun Lake and Beier Lake, it is named Hulunbuir Fort, and some people also call it: Hulunbuir Fort abbreviated.

One or two miles south of Hulunbuir Fort, herdsmen and border merchants in the mainland spontaneously formed a market to exchange merchants. Because the main bulk goods in the north and south of the desert are horses and sheep, this market has a large number of names: Sheep and Horse Market.

For the herdsmen in Mobei, this time the army entered the country, not only did they bring about killing and enslavement, but also brought iron pots and scissors and other goods that the Mongols needed but did not have. This was undoubtedly a symbol of peace. So they called the market outside the military fort: Amugulang.

The meaning of "Taiping" in Mongolian language.

"Taiji, Khan invites you to come over, the Ming army in the city is coming out to greet you." The knights beside Shuolei rode their horses and found Babu.

Babu nodded, gave Baoyin a few words, and led his personal guards to the front, not missing this opportunity to show his status. (To be continued...)
