Chapter 369: Saibei

After the angel left, Jizhen seemed to be overnight, and the Qi family army guarding the Gyeonggi stronghold could feel the same way - their Qi Dashuai was holding back a lot of strength in his heart, waiting for something.

For a month, single-digit chariots, bird guns, tiger squat cannons, wolf planes and all kinds of ammunition were distributed to various places, pointing out a clear way for the sword to be drawn and the proud generals were everywhere.

In the four pass fortresses, five hundred and twelve chariots with bird walls and wolf walls were assigned to four routes; It is not difficult to see the elite horses lining up in a neat formation and galloping across the border on the military artery south of the Great Wall, and the mules and horses dragging the tiger squat cannon through the official road after the horsemen are the most conspicuous signboards of the Qi family's army.

Even officials of all sizes who came and went from Gyeonggi felt that the atmosphere in northern Xinjiang had changed.

In the past, when he met a sergeant of the Qi family on the way, he would be a military officer, and the sergeant would have a heavy responsibility, and he would dismount and avoid it regardless of the merits, and wait for the civil and military officials to pass before galloping; Now it is different, big and small, along the way, the Qi family army all carry the order flag with gongs and drums, even if the second-grade officials are in front of them, they do not avoid passing through.

There is no one who is always in Gyeonggi who does not know that this is the move of the Qi family army into a wartime state.

Qi Jiguang is indeed preparing for war...... Among the generals of the imperial court, Qi Jiguang has not been very supportive of war against Mongolia, but he has also been preparing to meet the Mongol army on the battlefield.

This is not contradictory, in Qi Jiguang's concept, without the Wuliang Ha Sanwei, the imperial court could not start a full-scale war with the Mongols.

Or this actually has nothing to do with Wuliang Ha Sanwei, and in that land, that land is the depth of the Beijing Division, and the Ming Dynasty could not accept that Beijing was besieged while facing a full-scale war in the north.

But if it is a war against Uliangha, Qi Jiguang fully supports it, although his support is far less powerful than that of the household department in the general direction, but he can have the support of the emperor...... That's different.

The emperor's support was simple and crude: Qi Dashuai said that if he built a house, he would be able to clean up the three guards, so let's ask the Ministry of War for money to build a house.

Qi Jiguang wanted 300,000 taels of silver a Chinese New Year's Eve, a total of 600,000 taels, and repaired the walled city along the way to the north until the Tuman and Wuliangha Sanwei were completely under the control of the imperial court.

It is still difficult to choose between the military department and the household department on how much silver to allocate and the appropriate matter, but the turning point first appeared outside the Saiwai, Qi Jiguang received an urgent report from his subordinates: the leader of the Karaqin Department, the governor Tongzhi, the general of Jinwu, the general Qing Taiji, and his son-in-law Duoyan Governor Ang, and the younger brother commanded the servant Ha Bu Taiji, the full five Suo Taiji, the five five Taiji, and the escort cavalry from more than 200 knocks.

There is no impermeable wall in this world, especially on the northern border, where trade is becoming more and more prosperous, Qi Jiguang's actions to prepare for a big fight easily make the lords of Tumutyong Shebu Wanhu feel worried.

Qing Jiangdu looked a little impatient when he saw Qi Jiguang, and immediately hoped that Qi Jiguang could tell them the purpose of using troops after putting out three divine horses under the Great Wall.

They have all fought with Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, and for them, Qi Jiguang is much more terrifying than Li Chengliang - Li Chengliang is an opponent who is difficult to defeat, and Qi Jiguang is the last person they want to be an opponent in this land.

Because no one could break through Qi Jiguang's defensive line, and because some time ago, Tumen Khan was surrounded by a car formation without even breaking through a fort.

In their eyes, the 'misunderstanding', which did not take place in a large-scale battle or even could not be called a war, could only be described as a clever calculation.

How could Qi Jiguang know in advance that Tumen Khan was going to attack Qingshankou? Three Ming armies from different passes besieged Tumen Khan in the mountains at the most opportune time, and there would be no such coincidence in the world.

The first possibility is that the news of Tumen Khan has leaked out when he was preparing for the battle, but the Great Khan's pre-war preparation time is extremely short, and there are no merchants entering and leaving Chahar during that time, so it will only be the second possibility - Qi Jiguang's chariot battalion received the news on the way out of the fortress and gave up the original purpose to support Qingshankou.

So, who did Qi Jiguang originally want to attack?

This answer worries everyone.

The old worries are not over, and new worries are coming again - Qi Jiguang's battle this time is even greater, so that the momentum has spread to the grassland.

Who isn't afraid?

Tumen Khan's prestige has just been greatly reduced due to a 'misunderstanding', and Altan Khan, who has the most powerful troops, is sick and bedridden again, not to mention that Qi Jiguang really moved troops at this point in time, even if it is just the news that he is going to move troops, ten thousand households like them will lead the tribe to move north, and they will not have the heart to resist at all.

But even if they ran under the Great Wall in person, how could Qi Jiguang tell them the answer, he just invited these leaders into the pass and met them alone to find out what they wanted.

The result made Qi Jiguang overjoyed.

What Du Taiji, the young general with the largest military strength and official position, wanted very simply, he hoped that the target of the Ming army would be his neighbor Suyehai; He has three younger brothers, two younger brothers seem to have no ambitions, just want to protect their tribe, the other brother is even more interesting, he hopes that the Ming army will attack his elder brother Qingjiangdu, if Qi Jiguang is willing to fight, his subordinates will participate in the war at any time - help Qi Jiguang.

Changang of the Duoyan Department is the most interesting, he is purely here to hang out, he and his uncle Changbald were defeated by Qi Jiguang before, in order to redeem his uncle, he has already made an oath never to attack the Ming Dynasty, so it doesn't matter who he fights, as long as the Ming army is willing to share his spoils, he will go.

It was very easy for everyone to reach a consensus: all the ministries were willing to cut down and collect wood and stone for Qi Jiguang to build the fort, in exchange for the peace of the tribe and some of the rations needed for this year's winter.

The budget for the repair of the bunker seems to have been significantly reduced.

But he didn't expect that Qi Jiguang and several leaders sent the above letters to the court, and in addition to the 90,000 pieces of Beiyang Army military rations, these letters were sent to Jizhen with the 120,000 taels of silver allocated by the imperial court.

Before Qi Jiguang got out of the plug, he started fighting on the grassland...... When the chief of the Taining tribe, Su Yehai, saw the letter and immediately declared war on the Qing Commander Dutaiji, and the chain reaction of this move caused chaos in the eastern part of the grassland.

Tumen Khan gathered his troops to raise an army of 20,000 and declared war on the Ming in the name of the barbarian tribe; The five Suo Tai Ji and the five five Tai Ji are all in the army to assist the elder brother and the Qing capital; Their other brother, Habu Taiji, was revealed to have coveted the leader of the Karaqin tribe, betrayed his blood and quickly formed an alliance with the barbarians, and led an army to attack the Qingjiangdu.

Chang Ang did not hesitate to lead his army to sweep the horse farm of Habu Taiji, so as to gallop to the aid of the Qing Jiangdu who had been attacked.

In such a situation, Qi Jiguang, who was both angry and funny, had no other way, and led the army out of the fortress according to the emperor's order to rush to the aid of the Duoyan Department that reattached to the Ming Dynasty.

Thus began the battle north of the Great Wall.
