Chapter 040: Ben Chin Sent to Wait for Him to See (3 More Than 10,000)
Totok, one of the territories of Chataiji.
Although Chataiji's own grazing land had moved dozens of miles north, it was still an important territory for him, and since the cultivation under it was mainly carried out here, the city was also an important foundation for his tribe to resist natural disasters.
In addition, because the site of the ancient cloud city is here, in recent years, he has ordered the Han people in the territory to restore it, and now it can be called a "city", which is the best place to receive the envoys of the Ming Dynasty, so he has personally rushed to prepare to meet with Gao Shishi.
The location of the city is at the southern foot of Daqing Mountain, on the Tumochuan Plain on the north bank of the boundary between the upper and middle reaches of the Yellow River.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Rongdi, Linhu and other ethnic groups were nomadic here, migrating from water to grass. In the twelfth year of King Zhou An, Zhao Wuhou of Zhao State built Yunzhong City. In the nineteenth year of King Wuling of Zhao, he broke the forest and Hu in the north, built the Great Wall, and placed Yunzhong County.
In the Qin Dynasty, Yunzhong County was one of the 36 counties in the country. In the Zhenguan period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Yunzhong City successively set up the Yunzhong Protectorate and the Dadu Protectorate. It can be seen that this place is located in the northern border, and it has always been an important place for soldiers to fight.
In fact, this place is the later Tuoketuo County, which is a suburban county of Hohhot City, 65 kilometers away from Hohhot City, 130 kilometers away from Baotou City, a grassland steel city, and 40 kilometers away from the large energy base Zhunger Coalfield, which is in the hinterland of the "Golden Triangle" of Hohhot, Baotou City and Zhunger Coalfield.
To tell the truth, Gao Shishi's interest in Baotou and Jungger coalfields is very great, if it weren't for the fact that Tumut has not been completely sinicized now, let alone integrated himself with the Ming Dynasty, he would probably come here to develop it.
Because if the Baotou base is built successfully, it means that the Gao family will definitely settle in, so that the east, south and north of the Ordos Department can be encircled.
As for Jiajing and Yan Song back then, they each took what they needed, and engaged in a "beheading who dares to speak up", hehe...... It's not the first time Jiajing has been slapped in the face. If there is really any hope of recovering the Hetao, Gao Pragmatic doesn't believe that Zhu Yijun will care about his imperial grandfather's stupid words.
But this is all a matter of the future, the food has to be eaten in one bite, and the road has to be walked step by step, Tumut is not a loyal subordinate of the Ming Dynasty now, so he is thinking about building an industrial base on Tumut's territory, and he is afraid that Gao Shimat is also crazy.
Although the ancient city in the clouds has been renovated by Chataiji, it has a little appearance, but the strength of Chataiji's headquarters is not strong, and the financial resources are also limited.
Even, it reminds him of the allied Tucheng when he played online games, but it wasn't like that Tucheng that "leaked" everywhere, and this Tucheng still surrounded the "city".
This city is really small, smaller than Xinzheng County, and the only thing that makes Gao Pragmatic look at it is probably only the thousands of elite riders standing outside the east of the city.
The 3,000 headquarters, plus the 3,000 cavalry of the Tumut headquarters handed over to him, a total of 6,000 fine cavalry, this is the capital of Chataiji who dared not to buy Zhongjin Hatun's account in history and insisted on protecting Hannaji's widow and young son.
Oh, of course, that's only half of his capital, and the other half of his capital is his own prestige.
Chataiji is no longer young, when he first dealt with Gao Pragmatic twelve years ago, he was just starting to decline from his peak, but Mongolia's No. 1 brave general is not old, and Ma Gui, who has fought against him, is deeply impressed by him.
Twelve years later, he was fifty-one years old, which was really old for the Mongols of this era.
But Ma Gui, who was accompanying Gao Shishi, saw him at first glance, and knew that this person's strength might have decreased compared to ten years ago, but he was not really old, his still straight waist and sharp eyes all showed that his power was still undiminished.
The tiger is old and majestic, which may be the best description for him.
Ma Gui is looking at Chataiji, and Gao Pragmatic is the same.
However, Ma Gui's scrutiny is more about evaluating the personal strength of the Mongolian No. 1 warrior at this time, while Gao Pragmatic is judging his psychology from his actions and demeanor.
Chataiji brought out all the 6,000 elite cavalry, although the current Mongolian cavalry does not even have a uniform uniform, it looks really unorthodox, and there is less slaughter.
But it can be seen from the proud expressions of these cavalrymen that they have great trust in their commander-in-chief, and they are very excited to be under the command of Chataiji, which is a rare confidence.
Of course, Gao Pragmatic has also seen this kind of self-confidence under the command of Qi Jiguang, Ma Fang, Liu Xian and others, which is probably unique to the world's famous generals.
Oh, no, Gao Pragmatic suddenly remembered an exception, and that was himself.
He never felt that he was a famous general, even if the court was jubilant some time ago, but he didn't believe it, but the family members around him could show such a confident look every time.
Gao Pragmatic couldn't help but think: maybe they are so confident because they are well equipped......
Chataiji put on all his military strength, obviously not eating too much, this is a demonstration.
However, Gao Pragmatic scoffed at this: This trick is played in front of me, it is too outdated, what's the matter, I bring 5,000 people, you bring 6,000 people, you are better than me?
If you want to say that just looking at the lineup, my 3,000 horsemen are in uniform clothing and weapons, but the horses are not unified, and they look more powerful than you, right?
Magui's soldiers, that is the backbone of the Majia army, there are Hui, Mongolian, and Han people in its army, all of whom are carefully selected, and their appearance is not bad. Moreover, his family has always been known for raising horses, and the war horses under his command are fat and strong, and they really don't look worse than the war horses that you Mongolians usually don't feed much refined grain.
As for the 1,000 camps...... cough, it's mostly unreliable to let them fight, but let them look at the image here, that is definitely the existence of your Mongolian elite cavalry, okay?
Look at them, and then compare them everywhere, among the more than 10,000 cavalry on both sides, the most well-equipped ones belong to them, not to mention people, and even the equipment on the horses is all standard models.
Of course, Chataiji didn't just put out the cavalry to demonstrate, he had another plan.
Gao Shishi suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Stop." ”
Ma Gui made a cameo appearance as a herald and yelled: "There is an order for the Qin mission, the whole army stops!" ”
The Chincha team stopped, but the team on the opposite side of Chataiji did not move.
Gao Shishi showed a sneer, and said lightly: "The order to inform Dong Shengwei of the command of the matter is Handu Lei Xiya, and Ben Qin is waiting for him to come and see." ”
