Chapter 073: Kind-hearted people

After Xin Ai's department was forced to surrender by Ma Chengxun's "inspiration", Gao Pragmatic guessed that the Tumen were afraid that they would choose to flee quickly, but he was not very anxious about this.

"It is advisable to chase the poor bravely, and not to sell the name and learn the overlord" This poem is of course very familiar, but the situation that Hong Taizu faced at that time was completely different from the situation he is facing now, and there is no comparison.

The most fundamental point is that Gao Pragmatic did not intend to kill the Tumen from the beginning.

If Tumen does not die, Tumut must always be on guard against this great enemy of the same clan, and must closely rely on the blood supply of the Ming to stay strong; On the other hand, if the Tumen are hanged, Mongolia will be dominated by the Tumut family, and it is difficult to say what will happen at that time.

If the Ming Dynasty at this time has the ability to send troops to occupy the entire Chahar on its own, and even coerce the vassals of the Chahar Department to throw themselves into the arms of the Ming Dynasty, then of course it doesn't matter whether Tumut is the dominant family in Mongolia.

But does Daming have this strength right now? No.

It is true that there is no, the main cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is now more than 50,000 in total, and it is estimated that 60,000 is not enough, and Xuanda itself is only more than 10,000 and less than 20,000, and it is definitely impossible to pull it to Chahar, that is to say, only Li Chengliang's 40,000 can move, but Li Chengliang is not just about Chahar's side, patronizing the Mongols, what should the Jurchens do?

Don't be like in history, to aid Korea and resist Japan, so that the Jurchens took the opportunity to rise. Now let Li Chengliang go north to Chahar, isn't Liaodong empty, and the ghost knows if the Jurchens will rise?

Although Nurhachi's wild boar skin is still young, Jianzhou Wei can't talk about it for the time being, but someone has said that the general trend of history has inertia, and without Nurhachi, maybe there will be a Nurhachi?

Gao pragmatic felt that the Ming Dynasty was still more suitable for steady and steady fighting, first making the Mongolian situation hostile to each other on the left and right wings, and the Ming Dynasty took the opportunity to master the right wing, and then gradually controlled the Mongolian right wing, and turned it into the cavalry and horse farm of the Ming Dynasty.

It's good to be young and young, even if this process takes another ten years, then you are not yet in the age of establishment, what are you afraid of? And Mongolia, which is mastered in this way, is more than ten times more stable than a sudden defeat, and it is obviously more secure.

Otherwise, once the Mongolian left wing is not completely purged, and the time comes to occupy Chahar, it will cost a lot, in case the surrounding internal and external Khalkha and even the Jurchens make trouble from time to time, the little national strength that the Ming Dynasty has accumulated is only afraid that it will be wasted again, it will be a lot of losses.

But Gao Pragmatic will not say this explicitly, because now whether it is a small-character general like Ma Chengxun and Zhang Wanbang, or a "veteran" like Ma Gui and Zhang Bingzhong, his spirit has come up, and he is bent on capturing Tumen Khan alive, and even wants to go to Chahanhot to go around.

This is the difference between politicians and military practitioners, the latter naturally fights first if they can fight, and if they don't take credit, it is 250, while the former has to consider more influence and long-term planning.

As for Hannaji, he also hoped to defeat Tumen Khan once and for all.

Hannaji's ambitions are indeed limited, he has not even officially become the Chechen Khan of Tumut, and he will not set his sights on the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia for a while, but it is obvious that defeating Tumen will give him great prestige.

With such prestige, there is no need to worry about sitting on the throne of Chechen Khan.

Gao Pragmatism, who is good at perceiving people's hearts, knows very well what these powerful people around him are thinking, although in reality it doesn't matter to him.

After all, the battle of Mo Nan has been fought until now, and his prestige for speaking has already multiplied I don't know how many times, even if he doesn't even give a reason, he will let the map go, and the generals of the Mingmeng coalition army will not dare to grin with him.

The army is like this, if you, the commander, can lead the people below to win the battle, then you are the boss, and a fart is fragrant. If you make a decision that everyone doesn't understand, everyone will only think that your level is not enough, and you don't see the reason, and you won't jump out and oppose it.

What is prestige? It's called prestige.

Although the battle of Mo Nan was named as the emperor, in fact, everyone knew that it was Gao pragmatic planning with one hand and commanding with the other, leading Xin Ai and Tumen by the nose from beginning to end, who would dare not be convinced by such an ability? What to take against high pragmatism?

But Gao Pragmatic knows that although he seems to be beautiful, he has actually been stared at by many people, so he almost took a magnifying glass to see it, so he doesn't plan to have a reputation as a domineering person, even if he wants to let the pictures go, he must be hidden, and he can't let people have a chance to gossip.

Letting go of the figures, of course, will drop a little from the full score in terms of credit, but Gao Pragmatic believes that it is not only not a bad thing, but may even be a good thing.

He is already heavy enough, and the credit this time is already big enough, if he still brings back the heads of the figures, I am afraid that Zhu Yijun will worry immediately after he is happy, because it is not rewarding.

Zhu Yijun himself may not care about Gao Pragmatic and young, but how many people in the Manchu Dynasty can completely ignore Gao Pragmatic Age?

You must know that taking the Tumen is to fight a war of annihilation against Mongolia, an old enemy of more than 200 years, which is a great achievement to be knighted! And think about it carefully, what should be knighted after destroying Mongolia?

Is it less than twenty years old to be crowned a prince?

And it's also the Duke of Wenchen!

The princes who were born in military ministers, anyway, all went to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to retire in their names, so it didn't matter. But how should the Duke of Wenchen arrange it? There is no place to support the elderly, you have to give a position, and the level of Guogong belongs to the top of the foreign surname, you can't just give a prefect to play and send it away, right?

So, if that's the case, Zhu Yijun will have a headache.

Similarly, even if he thinks about his future prospects, Gao Pragmatic will not really take down the Tumen, and it is time for him to think about the aftermath - that is, how to let the Tumen go unknowingly, and let the whole world have nothing to say.

The first step in high pragmatism is to delay for one night.

This reason is easy to find, because Xin Ai's position is important enough, and now Xin Ai is captured, and he wants to see Gao Pragmatic by name, Gao Pragmatic didn't plan to see him at first, but now he finds it necessary to see him.

Seeing Xin Ai, it can be said that it is to plan to divide and use the rest of Xin Ai, if you can subdue the rest of Xin Ai overnight for your own use, it will be more secure to besiege the Tumen next, even if you go to fight the imperial lawsuit, you are not afraid.

And after "convincing Xin Ai", it can be dragged over tomorrow morning - let's talk about reorganization.

In the afternoon, he continued to advance with Zhang Bingzhong's troops—he was an infantryman, and he must have walked slowly.

Of course, having enough spare horses for Zhang Bingzhong's troops to use for the time being was that their riding skills were obviously not comparable to the elites brought out by the Mongols and Ma Fang, and they would still slow down the marching speed of the troops.

In this way, there is almost a day and a night for the Tumen, even if the Tumen are turtles, they are also Mongolian turtles on horses, and there is this day and a night, how to say that they should run away, right?

If you don't run away, then this Mongol Khan is really not suitable for you.

After making up his mind, Gao Pragmatic announced that he would camp with the old god, and then said that he was going to meet Xin Ai for a while, and also pretended to ask Zhang Bingzhong and others to take care of the wounded, and the officers and soldiers who died in the battle should also be counted properly, and the roster will be made tonight, and when he comes back from the place where Xin Ai is detained, he will write a good note overnight to complete the issue of bereavement for them.

Zhang Bingzhong and the others were still moved by this, and even nodded Han Naji secretly: Brother Gao is really a kind person!
