Boshoke Tujinong is two years younger than Gao Pragmatic, and he is the age of ambition, probably in the state of mind of the eldest of heaven, the second of Genghis Khan, and the third of his rank.

Such a young man is young and energetic, and has the courage to put his ideas into practice, so he is very dissatisfied with the dignified Mongolian Jinong being overpowered by Hannaji, but he ignores the practical factor - Hannaji has more time and place than him.

The so-called time of the day is actually the attitude of the Ming Dynasty. Whether he understands it or not, recognizes it or not, the current Ming Dynasty is still the existence of national strength to crush Mongolia, and the internal peace is basically calm, but there was a little accident this time.

A little bit of an accident caused by a mistake in the rush to complete the ban plan. But Daming's size and appeal are still far from being comparable to his Ordos Department.

Boshoketu originally thought that with the control of Tumen Khan, it was impossible for Tumut to launch an actual attack on him when he had already lost control of Tumut in Qinghai, so he agreed to send troops. Even if he later heard that the Ming court sent Gao Shishi, who was known as the third Ming king on the grassland, to quell the rebellion, he didn't take it too seriously.

In Bo Shuoketu's view, although the battle of Monan and the battle of Liaonan were fought well, there was a premise in those two battles, that is, the Mongols were judged to be the target by Gao pragmatic under the initiative to attack, and actually fought two wars of waiting for the rabbit. The course of the war, although complex, does not change this foundation.

Bo Shuoketu was dismissive of this, believing that as long as he gave full play to the mobility advantages of the Mongolian cavalry and did not fight any decisive battle with Gao Shipra, he could avoid suffering similar defeats in Monan and Liaonan.

He remembered that he had analyzed him half a year later in southern Liaoning, showing that the strength of the army had shown a trend of continuous enhancement in the past ten years, and that the army's weapons and equipment, morale, and even the time of the exercise were much stronger than those of more than ten years ago, and the combat effectiveness was naturally greatly improved.

At this time, it is impossible to expect that like in the year of Gengshu, 20,000 or 30,000 cavalry will press more than 100,000 Ming troops to fight casually, and the Ming army will not dare to go out of the city. Although the Ming army did not have many opportunities to actually fight in the Battle of Monan, it fought a battle in which the infantry with inferior forces could counterattack under the impact of cavalry, which is a clear proof of this.

As for the battle of southern Liaoning, not to mention, the Ming army not only fought brilliantly in the joint operation of land and water, but once again withstood the decisive charge of the elite cavalry of the fried flower department with infantry. What does this mean? It shows that at least on the frontal battlefield, the Mongolian cavalry has no advantage over the Ming infantry, which has significantly improved the quality of firearms.

Although Bo Shuoketu has fallen out with Che Duan, he still has a relatively clear understanding of Che Du's wisdom, and Che Du's analysis at that time was very detailed, even if he didn't want to admit it.

Therefore, this time, he can be regarded as facing up to the advantages of the Ming army in frontal combat, and made up his mind not to fight a frontal decisive battle with Gao Shipra, but to change his thinking back to the old tradition of the Mongol soldiers-raiding warfare.

Especially when he learned that Gao Shishi's army did not go south of the Great Wall, but came directly from the Hetao, he was even more firm in this view.

In Bo Shuoketu's view, Gao Pragmatic's 20,000 or 30,000 troops went straight into the Hetao, so he would definitely not have too much grain and straw to bring, if he found the right opportunity to launch a surprise attack, not to defeat Gao Pragmatic's army on the spot, he only needed to find a way to burn the grain and grass of the Ming army, and this war would actually have been won.

The Ming army is not a Mongolian army, if it loses logistics, it is a loss of life, saying that it is impossible to survive until tomorrow if it starves to death today, once the grain and grass of the Gao pragmatic department is lost, he only needs to monitor them on the grassland for a few days, and he can go over to clean up the battlefield. This victory was simply a nowhere to be found, and it took no effort to get it.

The only hidden concern is to cut out the movements of the department. According to the news from the spies, the eldest son, Ilduqi, had led a troop of troops and horses eastward "a few days ago", and it seemed likely that he had gone to meet or greet Gao Shishi.

Considering that the spies also reported that Chukukr was still fully armed in the old battalion, Bosoktu believed that Ilduqi did not bring the main force of the Che Duqi army, or at most he and Chukukel took half of it—in keeping with Mongol tradition.

If Ilduqi really brought half of his subordinates to help Gao Shishi, things would still be tricky, because at least it would be much more difficult to carry out a sneak attack on his own - everyone is Mongol, if you can find me, I can find you, and this will not form suddenness.

However, Boshoktu is very skeptical that Ilduzi will really help Gao pragmatically wholeheartedly. He still knows the person of Ilduqi, in the words of the Han people, there are too many flowers, and it is not easy for him to fight with all his strength.

Bo Shuoketu estimated that when he gathered the soldiers and horses of Huamachi and appeared in front of Ilduqi with more than 30,000 horsemen, Ilduqi was very likely to directly avoid the battle and make a detour and give up the battlefield to himself and the Ming army.

But it doesn't matter, Ilduqi is counting on himself to fight to the death with the Ming army, but he just wants to burn the grain and grass of the Ming army, and when the time comes, he will burn it down, and he will turn around and leave, and Ilduqi can't stop it even if he wants to-- besides, at that time, Ilduqi may not want to stop it?

Didn't he cut off that old stubbornness, once the Ming army lost the grain and grass, couldn't he see that this was a tiger about to starve to death? What is the reason why two wolves do not eat this dying tiger, but kill each other?

In line with this kind of thinking, Boshoketu quietly sent someone to contact Ilduqi while running to Huamachi in the past two days, hoping to reach a "cooperation" with Ilduqi in private. For this reason, Boshoketu even promised that as long as this battle went smoothly and he could steadily obtain the Huamachi area, he would allocate a piece of grassland from the nearest camp of the headquarters of Ijin Holo to Ilduqi, and also give him 3,000 sheep as a reward.

Considering that the economic strength of the Ordos Ministry is not as good as that of Tumut, this can be said to be a very sincere deal, and Boshoketu feels that with Ilduqi's temperament of liking small calculations, he will most likely accept it.

The spy had returned a night later than he had expected, but the news he had brought back was not bad. Ilduzi replied to him with a letter on good paper, in which he first stated that he was indeed following the army of high pragmatism, but this was only due to "the father's fate", which he himself was very unhappy about.

Then he also talked about an important reason why he was unhappy, saying that Gao Pragmatic was a very big person, and he was very disrespectful to him, and he opened his mouth and closed his mouth to cut off his old friend, which made him very dissatisfied-Ilduqi was more than ten years older than Gao Pragmatic, and of course he was not happy to be treated like this. 600

It was only then that Ilduqi responded to Bosoktu's proposal, saying that he basically agreed with Jinong's arrangement. It's just that out of the consideration of "father's order is difficult to disobey", it is impossible for him to leave with his cavalry now, and he can only wait for Jinong's army to attack, so that he can pretend to be attacked by a sneak attack, pretend not to support, and retreat while fighting, so as to create conditions for Jinong to "severely damage or annihilate the Ming army".

At the same time, he had a slight objection to Jinong's reward - he thought that Huamachi was much better than the pasture that Jinong was willing to give him. Therefore, he also hoped that Jinong would promise to give him another 20,000 carts of salt a year after Huamachi was in hand. If Jinong could agree, he would have fully agreed to this matter, and even went so far as to be punished by his father after returning to the old camp.

When Boshok Tu saw the letter, he first sneered, and said to the left and right: "Ilduqi wrote to me with such a high-quality paper, which is intended to show the benefits of defecting to the Ming army, and to threaten me that if I don't do what he says, he will continue to help the Ming army, hum." ”

Everyone saw the good paper in his hand, and they were all quite envious - not a joke, when Ji Neng asked for the seal, he wrote the tribute table by cutting the ghostwriter and handed it to Wang Chonggu, the governor of Xuanda at the time, but Wang Chonggu thought that the words of the tribute book were not humble enough, and asked to write a new one to him.

And guess what? Those who were waiting outside the customs quickly sent someone to reply, saying that it was easy to write a tribute table, but there was no good paper on it, so he asked Wang Taishi to give some paper first......

It can be seen from this that good paper is really a rarity in the sleeve, and Ildu should really have some intention in choosing such good paper to write letters.

A general said indignantly: "What is there to show off, when this worship is done, let's not talk about a flower horse pool, even if we take Yansui or even Shaanxi, it is possible." At that time, as long as the Tongguan is guarded, the Guanzhong will be ours, not to mention a piece of paper, it is 10,000 sheets, and you don't want to have it? ”

Another general said: "This matter seems to be somewhat contradictory, Ilduqi said that Gao Pragmatic was holding up in front of him, and at the same time he was able to come up with such a good paper......"

Bo Shuoketu waved his hand and said: "There is nothing contradictory about this, Gao Shida is nothing more than the habit of those pedantic scholars in the Ming Kingdom, but he is not a stupid person after all, and he will naturally use something to buy Yile Duqi, which is also the consistent style of the Ming people." Ilduzi just wanted to tell me that although he was not very happy in front of Gao Shipra, at least he had some gains, and that if I did not meet his demands, he would not disobey his orders. ”

The general suddenly said, "Oh, he's bargaining. Then he paused and added: "The family has read a lot of Han books, why do they talk and do things so many twists and turns, it's really not like our Mongolian warriors, and their father and son still have the title of Batur." ”

Bo Shuoketu didn't bother to say this, thought for a while, and muttered: "20,000 carts of salt is not a small amount, but if I can win Huamachi, I can afford to give these salts, and if I can defeat Gao Shiji......"

Thinking of Gao Pragmatic's prestige in Mongolia and the prospect of his own prestige after defeating Gao Pragmatic, Bo Shuoketu's blood boiled, and he said slowly and vigorously: "This condition is nothing. ”

All the generals were praised, and one of them said: "Yes, if Jinong can defeat the Ming Dynasty's Gao Taishi, it will be like Arutai captured Emperor Ming back then, from Mo Nan to Mo Bei, from the right wing to the left wing, who else dares to disobey him?" I, the Ordos Ministry, don't have to look at Tumert's face anymore. ”

Another person added: "Not only that, it's best for us to arrest Gao Taishi alive, I heard that he and Emperor Zhu are classmates and friends, and when the time comes, I will take him to talk to Emperor Zhu, so that the tribute city of our Ordos Department will no longer be under the jurisdiction of Tumut, so that it can really appear that the Ordos Department is not under Tumut!" ”

This statement is more practical, because when I answered the tribute, the king of Shunyi was the king, and I controlled the entire right wing, including the Ordos department, so the Ming Dynasty stipulated that all the Mongolian right-wing departments were under the jurisdiction of the king of Shunyi in terms of tribute cities, and the king of Shunyi reported to the court in advance the size of the tribute market they needed every year, as well as the approximate trading goods, and the court will decide the final trade volume and other details according to the report of the king of Shunyi.

It is precisely for this reason that the Shunyi King has mastered the economic lifeline of the Ordos Department and the Qinghai Tumut side to a certain extent. But this is also a double-edged sword, when the rulers of the Ordos Ministry or Qinghai Tumut think that the amount of tribute he has received is insufficient, they will hold a grudge against Tumut, think that the Shunyi king is unfair, and then form a rebellious mentality.

When Bo Shuoketu heard this, he also agreed, and said proudly: "Yes, I am the Mongolian Jinong, the lord of the 30,000 households in Ordos, why should I listen to the distribution of Hannaji?" The right to self-determination must be taken back! ”

This seemed to be very domineering, but he seemed to have forgotten one point: Don't you still want to pay tribute?

However, someone remembered that the previous general who advocated taking Guanzhong said: "What Jinong said is naturally reasonable, but this is what we need to do when we can't take Guanzhong. ”

However, in fact, the ambitious idea of "winning Guanzhong" is not really favored by most people, so everyone has not thought carefully about what can be done after winning Guanzhong, and after listening to his words, someone asked: "As long as we win Guanzhong, we will not lack all the things we need?" ”

The general replied: "That's natural, I have learned before, Guanzhong is the former hometown of Qin, Qin can use Guanzhong to determine the world, it can be seen that Guanzhong is rich, and these goods must be not lacking." As long as we can take Guanzhong, we don't have to talk about any tribute with Ming Guo at all, and we can even consider following the example of that year and going south to take Sichuan! ”

Bo Shuoketu was thrilled when he heard this, and slapped the table: "Okay, well said!" In that case, let's reply to Ilduqi without further ado, and settle the matter. Whether it is Guanzhong or Sichuan, if we want to get it, we must first defeat Gao Pragmatic! ”

Everyone agreed in unison, with high spirits, as if Guanzhong was already within reach, and even Sichuan was close at hand.

The so-called Longwang Shu, now that Long has not been obtained, they have already begun to look at Shu......
