In Wu Zheng's heart, his understanding of the other party's national security deepened.

It should be said that Fang Guoan is not a bad person, and he is also capable, but he does lack the fearlessness and persistence of that kind of soldier.

The previous surrender, and then repeatedly, may have something to do with his character.

He is not good at persistence, and he is less focused.

Such a person cannot fight a tough battle.

Fang Guoan's face turned red when he heard this, he originally wanted to fight on the basis of reason, but at this time, Wu Zheng easily canceled the bet, which made him a little embarrassed.

"In fact, my subordinates don't care if they win or lose...... Ahem, thank you, Lord Wang. ”

Wu Zheng smiled secretly in his heart, but he had to give face to Fang Guoan.

To be honest, Wu Zheng still admires Fang Guoan's training ability.

In three months, it is indeed not easy to train this group of people who have just been recruited from the fields to become what they are today.

At the same time, Wu Zheng's side really needs a general with rich combat experience in leading troops.

Wu Zheng said: "This king knows what General Fang is looking forward to...... In this way, the king promised the general that as long as this batch of recruits successfully formed the army, the general would get his wish, I don't know what the general wanted? ”

Fang Guoan was stunned for a moment, and then his face suddenly stopped, and he hugged his fists and said, "Thank you Lord Wang." The subordinates will live up to the expectations of the prince. ”

"After going back, this king will have to rely on General Fang to sort out the establishment of the army."

"The subordinates will do their best to repay the service of the prince."

……。

It was early winter.

It's colder in the north.

Dolgon, Hong Chengchou and others have returned to the capital.

In the Wuying Palace, the Holy Mother, the Empress Dowager Bumu Butai, and the little Emperor Fu Lin are discussing with Dolgon and others about the use of troops in the coming year.

The rebellious tribes of the Mongol Sunit in Mobei have been suppressed to the area of the Okhte Mountains.

It was only because of the arrival of winter that the army could not fight in the cold, so it stalemate, preparing to wait for the spring of the next year to launch an attack.

The cause of this Sunit rebel army was also caused by the fierce opposition of the Mongol tribes to the national policy of surrendering to the Qing Dynasty.

Thirty years ago, Lin Dan Khan, a descendant of the Golden Family, wanted to regain the glory of his ancestors and intend to unify the whole of Mongolia.

But the rise and encroachment of Houjin in the east made him like a man.

At that time, most of the Mongol tribes had a very close relationship with the Ming Dynasty, whether it was people-to-people mutual business or court diplomacy, it can be said that they were allies of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty offered a "reward" of 40,000 yuan per year in exchange for Lin Dan Khan's assistance in defending Guangning.

After Nurhachi obtained Liao and Shen, he plotted to occupy Quang Ninh, and the three sides fought several battles in Quang Ninh.

In the first month of the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), Nurhachi attacked Quang Ninh on a large scale, and Wang Huazhen, the governor of Guangning at the time, abandoned the city and fled in a hurry.

Lin Dan Khan first dispatched 10,000 troops to aid Guangning, and another 20,000 troops did not arrive due to snow resistance.

But by the time the front army arrived, Quang Ninh had already fallen.

This phenomenon is almost the same as the national policy of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao.

In a nutshell, for Mongolia, the Ming army at that time was a "particularly unreliable pig teammate".

Lin Dan Khan's army could only move to the Shanhai Pass, so that the price code would have to be opened by the Mongols at will.

It was agreed that the reward after recapturing Guangning would be rewarded by the Ming Dynasty with a huge return of one million taels of silver, of course, in name it had to be a "reward".

Because of this, the Mongol tribes, which were originally close to the Ming Dynasty, also began to split.

Especially after the intermarriage and oath between Nekhalkha and Houjin, who were originally close to Houjin, the division of Mongolia has surfaced.

In the face of domestic chaos, Lin Dan Khan had to concentrate his efforts first on the inside and then on the outside.

The consequence of this was that there was no spare strength to assist in the defense of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty had no spare strength to help Lin Dan Khan clean up the interior.

The alliance gradually became a non-existent.

It was not until the Chahar tribe betrayed Lin Dan Khan in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, annexed to the Later Jin and made an oath with Huang Taiji, that Lin Dan Khan could no longer control the situation and was forced to leave the Hetao and embark on the road to the west, so that the alliance between the Ming and the Mongols had no practical significance.

Although the alliance was meaningless, it was clear that the annual "reward" for Mongolia was indispensable.

After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he wanted to "do his best", and the minister Gui Yingcha, who was sent by Lin Dan Khan to ask for a reward, was also killed by the Ming army.

Lin Dan Khan invaded Datong in June of the following year, killing tens of thousands of Ming soldiers and civilians, and almost capturing the city of Datong.

Ming had to reinstate the "reward", and at this point, the ally had turned against him.

There was a rebellion inside, a strong enemy of Houjin outside, and then a bad relationship with the Ming, Lin Dan Khan had actually dug his own grave.

Four years later, Huang Taiji saw this opportunity and decided to launch a decisive battle against Lin Dan Khan and completely conquer Monan.

After four consecutive years of war, Lin Dan Khan died in Qinghai, and in the process of fleeing, a large number of people were lost, and finally died of smallpox in Qinghai.

After the death of Lin Dan Khan, his power was divided again.

The largest part, naturally, is his son Ezhe, but Ezhe is different from his father, Ezhe chose to surrender and presented the jade seal of the country to Huang Taiji (after the Ming Dynasty destroyed the Yuan, he never got this jade seal), and was named a prince by Huang Taiji, and Mongolia perished and became a vassal of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

At this time, the rebellious Sunit tribe, four years after the surrender of Ezhe, was able to surrender to the Qing, the Qing court's wife Teng Ji thought of the county lord, awarded Heshuo the forehead, and the following year changed the title of the king of Zasakdoro County, the edict hereditary replacement, and gave the establishment of the left and right banners, which is the origin of the Mongolian people in the banner.

Originally, Tengjisi was also accepted for this kind of disposal.

But the problem is that Huang Taiji died too early, as soon as he died, the little emperor Fulin succeeded to the throne, and all the government fell into the hands of Dolgon.

Dolgon had an old feud with Tengjisi, and immediately took a strong repression against Tengjisi.

So, Teng Jisi chose to rebel, he led his troops north to the Khalkha Department, joined forces with Tushetu Khan and Chechen Khan tens of thousands, and plundered Mongolia, Bahrain and other tribes of people and animals, the momentum was so great that it was enough to overthrow the entire Mobei.

When the Qing court heard the news, they sent Azig (Dolgon's brother) as the commander and rushed to Mobei to quell the rebellion.

After three months, the continued spread of the rebellion was indeed contained, but due to the repeated military affairs with the Yixing Dynasty in the south, the military strength sent to suppress the rebellion was insufficient, and the 20,000 troops were not enough to completely quell the rebellion, and the rebels in the hands of Teng Jisi at this time still numbered 30,000 or 40,000.

In addition, it was already winter, and it was not suitable for war, so we could only choose to surround it and wait for the spring of the next year.

But this brought another problem, the 20,000 troops needed to be stationed in Mobei for four months, and the war would start as soon as the spring of the next year began, which would cost at least one million taels of silver and a large amount of grain, cloth, and so on.

According to the estimation of Tang Ruowang, the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple in Beijing, it would cost at least one million taels of silver to form 6,000 musketeers, because at that time in Europe, the cost of flintlock pistols was nearly 30 taels of silver, and it would cost 60 taels to transport them to Asia, and the projectiles needed 12,000 rounds (one round included warheads and gunpowder, and oil paper packaging), and if additional artillery was added, I am afraid it would cost more than one million.
