Chapter 279: The Tatars and the Eastern Captives
Dai Xiuyuan hurriedly stood up again, and arched his hand: "Please show the auxiliary king." ”
Zhu Linmiao waved his hand so that he didn't have to be so restrained, and asked him, "Do you know that the Mongolian Sunit Ministry wants to go north to the Khalkha Ministry because of its dissatisfaction with the harsh government of Jianyu?" ”
Dai Xiuyuan said: "Back to Your Highness, the last general has heard a little.
"Since the eleventh year of Chongzhen, Teng Jisi led the Sunit Department to attach the queen gold, and the Manchurians treated him very favorably. first married the county lord to Teng Jisi and his relatives, and then successively named him the forehead and the county king. Even his younger brothers were also knighted as Baylor and Taiji.
However, after Dolgon took control of the Imperial Court, he thought that all the tribes of Monan were no longer to be worried, so he increased the taxes and tributes of the Tumut and Chahar people who belonged to him, which caused great dissatisfaction among the Mongol tribes.
Among them, Teng Jisi had a grudge with Dolgon when he was with the army in the early years of the Mobei, so the taxes and tributes of the Sunit Department were higher than those of other southern Monan tribes.
"At the beginning of this year, Khan Shuolei of Mobei Khalkha Chechnya said that Teng Jisi broke away from Jianlu and took refuge in him.
"After the Eastern Captives got the news, they immediately named Dolgon's brother Duoduo as the 'Great General', and brought tens of thousands of troops from Manchu and Mongolia to conquer the Sunit Department."
He thought for a moment and added: "In terms of time, now that the captives have entered Chahar, there will be another ten days and half a month, or they will clash with the Sunit Army." ”
Zhu Linmiao nodded when he heard this, in the Ming Dynasty, where communication was extremely backward, it was extremely rare for Dai Xiuyuan to have such an understanding of Mobei's affairs.
He asked, "What do you think of this battle?" ”
Dai Xiuyuan pondered for a while, and arched his hand: "Back to Your Highness, although this Sunit Department is one of the twenty-four departments in Monan, there are only a few thousand men in its clan. However, there are tens of thousands of heavy troops in the east, and many of them are Chahars, who are extremely familiar with the terrain.
"Yes, the last general thinks that Teng Jisi will not last long, so he will abandon his weapons and beg to surrender."
This time, Zhu Linmiao shook his head slightly, with his understanding of this history, this battle was not easy to win, and the Sunit Department held out until nearly four months later, that is, in October, before being defeated.
He then told Dai Xiuyuan about the complicated situation in Mobei, "If it is only the Sunit Department, then the situation must be as Tingxuan expected." However, the Khalkha tribes of Mobei have always been dissatisfied with Jianjiao, but the Manchu people are strong, and they can only do nothing about it.
And this time, Teng Jisi led the crowd to join Shuo Base, and the Khalkha people thought that they could take this opportunity to kill the prestige of the Manchus, hoping that more Mongolian tribes would break away from the Manchus. So they all said that they would support the Sunit Ministry. ”
Historically, it was precisely because of the support of the Tatars in Mobei that Teng Jisi was able to bring tens of thousands of cavalry to fight with Jianyu. Of course, the Mongols are nowhere near as fierce as Genghis Khan, and the entire Tatar tribe came out with all their might, and was defeated in front of the captives led by Duoduo until October.
Although after Duoduo's victory, Teng Jisi also resurrected at the instigation of the Khalkhas, but the scale was very small, and it was made a fuss at the beginning of the next year, and it was finally completely extinguished, and he became a vassal of Jianyu again.
Of course, he can't "spoil" these historical events to Dai Xiuyuan, so he can only say: "Therefore, this time it seems that it is a Sunit tribe who has surrendered to the Tartars, but in fact it is a contest between the Tatars and the Manchus in Mobei."
"If it was just a matter of the Tengjisi clan, Dolgon would not have sent tens of thousands of elites. He wanted to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and by eradicating the Sunit Department, he would deter the entire Monan.
"If Jianyu wins, there will be no one who dares to disobey the Mongol tribes in Tumut, Ordos, Chahar, Horqin and other places in the future. The entire Monan will become the backyard of the Jianyu, not only providing it with a large amount of material supplies, but also tens of thousands of Mongol cavalry at the call of Dolgon.
"Waiting for the confluence of Manchu and Mongolia will have an extremely adverse impact on our Ming Dynasty's recovery of the lost land, and at least it will make us pay a greater price in the northward campaign."
Although Dai Xiuyuan was surprised that His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King had such a detailed understanding of the situation in Mobei, he was more worried about the situation in the north, and his brows were tightly knit at the moment, and his expression was very solemn.
"However," Zhu Linmiao suddenly changed his words, "if Jianyu is defeated by the Sunit Ministry, no, as long as he fails to defeat Teng Jisi, then the influence of the Manchu people in Mo Nan will plummet."
"More tribes dissatisfied with Jianguo's rule will follow in the 'rebellion', and with the Tatars in Mobei, there will be no peace in the northwest direction of Jianguo. The Mobei Tartar attack, which gave Da Ming a headache at the beginning, disturbed the Manchurians, and he would not be soft. ”
Dai Xiuyuan seemed to think of something when he heard this, looked at Zhu Linmiao and said, "Your Highness is the last general......
"To tell you the truth, I am ready to vigorously support the Sunit Ministry, the first batch of weapons has arrived, and more materials will be delivered to Teng Jisi in the near future." Zhu Linmiao immediately said, "But these alone are far from enough to give Teng Jisi the ability to deal with Jianyu."
"The Mongols had outdated tactics and were still playing in the same way as Temujin. And Jianyu has been equipped with a large number of guns and cannons, with elite heavy infantry, Teng Jisi can't please them at all.
"Yes, I'm going to let you go to Mobei."
Dai Xiuyuan was surprised and said, "Is Your Highness asking the last general to help Teng Jisi fight?" ”
Zhu Linwei nodded and shook his head, "I don't need you to help him fight, then Teng Jisi will definitely not rest assured that you command his men." You are familiar with the battle formation, and you are quite conscientious, so it is enough for you to teach him how to practice and guide him at critical moments.
"However, this trip needs to go deep into Mobei, which is full of dangers, and it may be ...... if you are not careful."
Dai Xiuyuan immediately got up and gave up his hand, and said loudly: "Be loyal to the country, and you will not be afraid of life and death!" Then I asked His Highness to tell me when he would leave. ”
"Good!" Zhu Linmiao patted him on the shoulder, "The situation is urgent, it's better to leave early." When you arrive in Mobei, you have to be more careful, and if you have any needs, you can directly find a profiteer surnamed Liang. Important matters can be directly told to me.
"In addition, I give you the right to act cheaply in Mobei."
Later, Zhu Linmiao explained in detail some places that need to be paid attention to in Mobei, and told him about the historical events without spoilers, so he was relieved to let him leave.
Before leaving the palace study, Dai Xiuyuan suddenly thought of something, turned his head and said, "Your Highness, there is still one thing that is not appropriate in the end.
"If Teng Jisi is defeated, he may surrender to Jianyu. If there is a great victory, Dorgon will also sue for peace. These two have been playing and stopping outside the plug for hundreds of years, how can they keep them dying? ”
Zhu Linmiao said with a smile: "Tingxuan don't have to worry about this, they will never make peace this time." ”
"Why is Your Highness so sure?"
"Because I have sent Azig to Tengjisi ......"
……
The west shore of Hulun Lake.
Teng Jisi raised the liquor in his hand, touched it with a few brothers, and shouted, "Dry!" He poured the whole bowl of wine into his stomach, wiped his mouth vigorously, and laughed, "With these six thousand elite horsemen promised by the Chechen Khan, they will definitely be able to beat the people to the ground!" ”
