If the Ming Dynasty wants to unify the world, it is a matter of time before Guanzhong is captured, but the Jin State is not so easy to capture.

The time and place are favorable, and if you get one, you can divide one side. Although the Jin State is not as good as the Ming Dynasty in terms of national strength, he occupies the geographical advantage of Guanzhong, and the country is relatively stable, and the people are basically in the heart, two of the three, and the Ming army wants to destroy it, but it is not easy.

However, the general trend of reunification is also irreversible, and the war between the Ming Dynasty and Jin will come sooner or later.

Near Kaecheng, northwest of Shenyang, a military camp sits here, and in the big tent of the Chinese army, Gao Yigong stands in front of the map, looking at the Horqin Mongols.

In addition to ensuring the tranquility of northern Xinjiang, making the plan of relocating people to fill in Liao go smoothly, striking at Horqin, and preventing the Mongolian tribes from being unified, this northern attack on Mongolia also had an important purpose, which was to prepare for attacking the Jin State and unifying the world together.

This is also the reason why Jin Guo suddenly provoked incidents in Tongguan and Pujin Pass.

If the Ming Dynasty wants to attack the Jin State, it must clear the threat from the north, otherwise the Mongols are like a sharp blade, against the back of the Ming Dynasty, if they do not clear him first and force the Mongol tribes to submit, then the Ming army will attack the Jin State to the west, and it will be held back by the Mongols.

Moreover, now Mongolia has not yet formed a strong core, and the tribes are scattered, if the Ming Dynasty let it go, Horqin or other Mongolian tribes will definitely complete the unification of the steppe and grow into a towering tree again.

"Dashuai, the grazing land of Horqin Mongolia, is located in the eastern part of Mongolia, on the southern slope of the Great Khingan Mountains, and at the western end of the Songliao Plain. That is, from the Great Khing'an Mountains to the Songliao Plain. Jiang Youguang pointed to the map and drew a circle.

Jiang Jiashi Town Datong, who fought against the Mongols all the year round, knows much more about Mongolia than Gao Yigong and others.

When Dashun occupied Beijing, he didn't think about the problem outside the border at all, and his vision was very limited.

Gao Yigong looked at the area he had drawn out, which was the size of half of Beizhi, and couldn't help frowning: "In such a vast area, where is the main gathering of Horqin Mongolia?" ”

In an area the size of half of the Beizhi, to find the traces of more than 100,000 people, without knowing the exact location, it is difficult for the army to find the target.

"At that time, Huang Taiji organized Eastern Mongolia into ten flags, Horqin was divided into left and right wings, each wing was divided into front, rear and middle three flags, a total of six flags, each flag has its own pasture. After Wu Keshan became Khan, he established the Mongol royal court, but retained the six banners of Horqin, so the location was easy to find. ”

It was the Man General who spoke, Niu Colu Tan Tai, but he has now changed his Han surname, and in the new household registration system, there is no such title as Man, and the Ming Dynasty only has two identities: Ming and Guiyi.

He knew Mongolia better than Jiang Youguang, and after hearing this, Gao Yigong couldn't help asking: "Does General Tan know the specific location of the various departments in Horqin, and where Wu Keshan's sweat tent is?" ”

Seeing this, Jiang Youguang handed him the wooden strip in his hand with some unhappiness and gave up the position to Tan Tai.

Although the Ming Dynasty implemented a new ethnic policy, wanting to screw the few people in the country with the Han nationality, not emphasizing the various ethnic groups, but emphasizing that everyone is a Ming Dynasty, or Chinese, in fact, the Han people's discrimination against the surrender of generals always exists.

It will take a long time for it to fully merge.

Tan Tai is used to this, he doesn't care about Jiang Youguang's unhappiness, he doesn't have much effect on currying favor with Han Jiang, and he won't give him the opportunity to be promoted, there is always a gap, so he might as well seize the opportunity to earn credit and climb up step by step.

At this time, he stood next to the map and drew a circle, "The whole Horqin Mongolia, there are about 170,000 people, and the main pastoral area is near Wu Keshan's royal tent, located on the edge of the Liao River, at the western end of the Liaosong Plain. The flags were scattered around the royal court. ”

Tan Tai used a wooden pole to point a few places on the map one after another, and finally clicked back to the royal court, probably near today's Liaotong, and then said: "The Horqin people graze cattle in peacetime and serve as soldiers in wartime. Although they probably lost more than 20,000 young men in the Central Plains and more than 4,000 in Shenyang, if all the 15-year-old men were mobilized, there should still be more than 20,000 people available. ”

Tan Tai told all the information he knew, and Gao Yigong already knew the information he had ordered to collect.

At this time, he was silent for a while, and then said: "After Wu Keshan attacked Shenyang, the nearly 20,000 soldiers in his hands should not have been disbanded to the banners. The army is ready, and we will strike at once. ”

After the First World War in Shenyang, Wu Keshan's already small prestige fell to the bottom.

The already loose tribal alliance almost collapsed. Some tribes received the news that the Ming army was assembled in Datong, and fearing reprisals, began to move westward into the Hetao region controlled by the Jin State.

Among the Ten Banners of Eastern Mongolia, the two banners in front and behind Gollus also began to move north to avoid the retaliation of the Ming army.

Wu Keshan had the intention to temporarily avoid the edge of the Ming army, but there were more than 100,000 people in the Horqin Six Banners, and it was not like those small tribes, who said that they could survive by finding a small piece of pasture.

Just after winter, sheep and horses need fresh grass to replenish their fat, and more than 100,000 people need to prepare a lot of forage, after all, there is not grass everywhere on the grassland, and it is not easy for more than 100,000 people to find a place to settle down.

For so many years, the population of the grassland, most of the time, can only be maintained at more than one million, because it can only support so many people.

When the population was large, the tribes either conquered for pasture or invaded and plundered south.

The Horqin grassland is a good grassland, where Xianbei and Khitan all originated and grew step by step. He moved westward, most of the steppes had owners, and moved north into Siberia, the living conditions were too bad, and he didn't want to learn from the small tribes of Monan to enter the Jin country to be a vassal of Haoge, so he stayed in Horqin.

After the Junggar Department moved westward, the pastures there were divided by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to several small tribes in Moxi, and some of them were given to Mobei Mongolia.

It was just a long way from east to west, and he was going to wait for the sheep and horses to fatten up, and the herdsmen to store a certain amount of pasture, and then break through the obstruction of the Mongol tribes along the way, go to the Junggar Basin, defeat the Huite tribe there, and grab the pasture.

It's just that although Wu Keshan had a good idea, the Ming Dynasty didn't give him time.

Although the Ming army tried its best to train cavalry, and gave 10,000 righteous servants to the Han nationality, and gave them military merit fields, intending to leave them in the Central Plains, the number of cavalry in the Ming army is still only about 50,000, and there are more than 30,000 dragoons in addition to the order.

In this northern attack on Mongolia, the Ming Dynasty dispatched more than 45,000 cavalry, and there were 3 to 40,000 infantry and dragoons to cooperate.

In Liaoning, the main army of this sortie was 30,000 horse troops, and another 10,000 infantry troops accompanied them.

At the end of March, when the government was busy settling the people who had filled Liao, the Ming army began to attack on all fronts.

Two hundred miles north of Shenyang, west of the Liao River, on a grassland scattered with nearly 1,000 white Mongolian tents, here is the grazing place of the front banner of the left wing of Horqin.

At this time, the sun is shining, the tender green grass breaks through the soil, the men are driving the sheep, grazing outside, the green smoke next to the yurt, the women are cooking and eating, hot mare's milk wine, the atmosphere is peaceful, a wonderful grassland scene.

But at this moment, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves, and several bloody herdsmen galloped back to the camp, and before one man could reach the run, he staggered and fell off his horse, and the rest of the men did not care, and beat the horses desperately, and galloped to the front of the camp from a distance.

The Mongolian herdsmen who heard the movement couldn't help but raise their heads to look at the rushing cavalry, and the herding men saw that they hurriedly stepped on their horses and galloped back.

When they arrived at the camp, the herdsmen saw that the cavalry was wounded and covered with blood, and they were surprised one by one, and they were about to ask each other, but the cavalry led by them shouted loudly: "Quick, tell Taiji, the Ming people are coming······

Before he could finish speaking, he fell off his horse, and everyone saw that the blood holes caused by several fire guns behind him had dried up his blood.

In an instant, there was a sudden chaos in the tribe, and at this time, nearly 10,000 Ming cavalry had rolled in, the horse's hooves stepped over the grass, splashing pieces of soil, the Ming cavalry raised their three-eyed guns, raised their horse lances, like a group of hungry wolves, pounced on the Mongolian camp in the distance.

Hearing the herdsmen killed by the Ming army, they immediately panicked, Taiji of the front banner of the left wing, Wu Keshan's younger brother Wu Bashan, got the report, and hurriedly drilled out of the big tent, he looked south in horror, and saw countless cavalry galloping in the distance, and was immediately shocked.

They were worried that the Ming army would come to take revenge, and they didn't want the Ming army to come.

At this time, his guards brought him a war horse, and without saying a word, he turned on his horse, and did not care about his subordinates, urging the horse to flee.

The Ming army was killed in front of the camp in a blink of an eye, Tan Tai wanted to point his sword left and right, and the Ming cavalry split into three teams, two teams outflanked the Mongol camp left and right to prevent the Mongols from escaping, and Tan Tai led the middle team to rush directly into the camp.

"Kill!" Some Mongolian sweaters got on their horses one after another, and nearly 100 Mongolian men rushed out of the camp with bows and arrows, roaring and rushing towards the Ming army, but the Ming army raised its hand and hit a piece, and then smashed it violently, and the Mongols fell off their horses one after another.

Soon the Ming army rushed into the camp, and the screams suddenly rose in all directions, Mongolian men, women and children carried their burdens, scurrying between the tents, and the men rode horses and fled in all directions, but were ruthlessly killed by the Ming cavalry.

Inside the camp, there were staggered corpses everywhere, and the green grass outside the camp was scarlet.

Tan Tai killed a Mongolian Khan with a knife, looking back at the soldiers who were killing herdsmen's women and children, the camp was full of heads, broken arms and bloody limbs, the air was full of pungent fishy smell, and the viscous blood gathered into streams, and he couldn't help but wave his knife and shout: "Don't kill it, it's useful to keep it!" ”

Oil is a more valuable thing in ancient times, the people can not eat much oil a year, the social development of the Ming Dynasty, the production change brought about by the commercial society, is an improvement in production capacity and organizational ability, that is, to improve the life of the whole society.

It turned out that life would be good if you were full, but by the current standards of the Ming Dynasty, you have to be able to eat meat, oil, and fruit to be considered good.

The Ming Dynasty encouraged the people to plant soybeans as a cash crop in Ningliao, which was an opportunity for many people, and Gao Yigong and others and the bureaucrats in the north were already preparing to open oil mills in Liaoning, and the oil was bought in the south of the Yangtze River, and the bean dregs left over from the oil extraction were used to raise livestock, especially omnivorous pigs.

However, the Han people are not good at breeding and grazing, so leaving these women and children can help them breed, form an industrial chain, enrich meat, and improve the physical fitness of the people, especially the army.

After he finished roaring, the surrounding Ming troops stopped moving, but there were not many people left.

Seeing this, Tan Tai hurriedly ordered a team of men and horses to guard the guard, and then as soon as he pulled the reins of the horse, he ordered loudly: "Go!" With Ben will go straight to Wu Keshan's royal court! ”
