Text Volume 2 Dawn Morning_Chapter 271 Win
The Mongol coalition army to the south of the battlefield of Lin Dan Khan, the allied army of the Mongolian tribes on the right flank and the army of the Mongolian troops on the right wing who surrendered to Lin Dan Khan have already come and gone to change three troops to fight.
But the performance of both sides was surprisingly inferior, and the number of dead and wounded on both sides did not exceed 500 after a whole morning.
He was about to let his guards go into battle in person, but the leaders of the right-wing Mongol tribes such as Bai Yantaiji and Ebuha stopped him and said: "Why is the king of Khan so anxious, and let the Ming people fight with Lin Dan Khan to win." ”
Bu Shitu, who was sitting on horseback, suddenly straightened up and frowned and said: "The Emperor of the Ming Kingdom placed our subordinates and sent people to help us resist Lin Dan Khan, do we still have to sit back and watch from the side and let the Ming people fight for us to live and die?" ”
Bai Yantaiji said unceremoniously: "Those Ming people preach among our people every day that the Mongols do not fight the Mongols, and what do they say that the Ming people and the Mongolian people are brothers. I always feel unsure, and when these Ming people were strong, they didn't go into the grassland to attack us. Now that you're doing this, do you really think that these Ming people have changed their minds?
Besides, the Ming Emperor did not allow Lin Dan Khan to annex our people, nor was he willing to help us recapture the pastures that were taken by the Chahars, who knows what these Ming people thought in their hearts.
I still think that if the Ming and the Chahar people fight first, the two man-eating tigers will be injured, and the other animals in the mountains and forests will have a way to live. ”
When Ebuha and the leaders of several other large tribes heard this, they immediately echoed it. Bu Shitu looked around at the surrounding tribal leaders, and found that there were only a few small tribal leaders who did not speak out to support them.
Originally, he wanted to refute Bai Yan's words, but suddenly lost the will to distinguish with them. He could see that these tribal leaders were not only wary of the Ming people, but also did not take him seriously.
As the grandson of Pullik, Bu Shitu Taiji once competed with Suxiang Taiji, the grandson of Sanniangzi, for the throne of King Shunyi. Although Suxiang Taiji's power was stronger, the Tumut tribes were afraid that the new Shunyi king would be too strong, so they instead supported Bu Shitu, who did not have much strength.
And the third lady, who has always had a friendly relationship with the Ming Dynasty, saw that Bu Shitu was closer to the Ming Dynasty, while Su Xiang was unruly in character, for fear that Su Xiang would destroy the good relationship she had always maintained with the Ming Dynasty.
In the name of "passing on from generation to generation as the king and returning to the heart of the long tribe", Bu Shitu was chosen as the king of Shunyi of this generation.
Although Bu Shitu became the king of Shunyi, because his own power was not large, he was not a leader with a strong personality.
Therefore, after the death of the third lady, his control over the other Mongolian tribes on the right wing also declined rapidly.
However, with his mild personality, he won the support of the various tribes of Tumut. In addition, the occupation of the fertile Tumut River and the city of Guihua can also deter the disobedience of the right-wing Mongolian tribes.
But when he was driven out of Guihua City by Lin Dan Khan, and lost the Tumut River and most of his tribes, the leaders of the right-wing Mongol tribes who had submitted to the Tumut tribe in the past began to be a little frivolous with him.
It seems that he, the king of Shunyi, Bu Shitu, is no longer the co-leader of these Mongolian right-wing tribes, but only one of these tribal leaders.
Even he, who has always had a gentle personality, has a bit of a knot in the heart of these tribal leaders. Compared to these leaders, he found that the Ming people were more reliable.
Subutai of Doyan Uliangha, Dalai Taiji of Karaqin and others have been complaining on weekdays that when the Ming people settled their people, they were scattered all over the place, apparently to guard against them.
They believed that, compared with the Ming people, the Mongol tribes who had fled east to the Later Jin Kingdom lived more freely and happily in Liaodong.
For the claims of these tribal leaders, Bu Shitu scoffed. Surrendering to the Houjin Kingdom, a country founded by the Liaodong savage tribes, these Mongol leaders simply disregarded the honor of being Mongols.
A savage tribe that emerged from the old forests of Liaodong had escaped the barbaric life of drinking blood and fur for less than a hundred years, although it had won several victories by luck during the decline of the Ming Kingdom and occupied the land of Liaodong.
But it still can't be erased, they are the descendants of a group of despicable savages. Although this group of savages brazenly claimed that they were descendants of the Jurchens, the Jurchens who established the Kingdom of Jin in the past had nothing to do with them, and they were just saying that they were sticking gold on their faces.
They Mongols are also the descendants of Genghis Khan, who once ruled the Central Plains and conquered a huge empire spanning tens of thousands of miles.
Although it was driven out of the Central Plains by the Han people, and the huge Mongol Empire also declined, after all, the ancestors were also generous. Genghis Khan's descendants went to work as slaves for a group of barbarians, then he might as well completely submit to the Ming Dynasty.
At least the emperor who had just ascended the throne of the Ming Kingdom did not discriminate against them, the Mongols. With his identity, even if he removes the throne after annexation, he can still get a duke's reward.
The prosperity of the capital of the Ming Kingdom is not comparable to the bitter cold land of Liaodong. What's more, the preferential treatment of the Mongols by the Houjin State will never last forever. After all, he is still the king of Shunyi, and he still has this vision.
However, looking at these greedy leaders who wanted to make profits between the Ming Kingdom, the Chahar Department, and the Houjin Kingdom, Bu Shitu finally didn't say anything.
At this time, he couldn't persuade anything, these leaders who were confused. After being deprived of the foundation of the Tumut tribe by Chahar, Bu Shitu's forces were not superior to the coalition forces.
Although at the insistence of the commander of the Ming army, these Mongol leaders reluctantly agreed to a decisive battle with the Chahar tribe here.
But even Bu Shitu, who was closest to the Ming army, did not dare to be optimistic that the coalition could win this war.
Since he was not optimistic about this battle, Bu Shitu could not rashly put his last family foundation, more than 5,000 elite horsemen, into this defeated war.
If the coalition forces lose this war, he can still use these troops to rescue Sun Chengzong and other Ming officials and send them back to Guannai.
As long as these Ming members can return to the capital alive, then the emperor who wants to come to the capital for a short time should still support him.
As a result, in the south of the battlefield where the two sides were fighting, there was a strange situation in which the two sides were fighting like a drama. Although the right-wing Mongol tribes had different thoughts, their final performance was the same, waiting for the Ming army to win or lose in the north and the two battlefields in the middle.
Bu Shitu is trying to use the old way to persuade these Mongolian tribal leaders that since they are unwilling to contribute on the battlefield, then they should not have any more bad words about the army, lest someone with a heart hear it and make a contradiction between the two armies.
However, before he could open his mouth, he heard a thunderous rage erupt from the top of the hill that separated the battlefield to the south. After that, the top of the hill was shrouded in smoke.
Although Bu Shitu and several Mongolian leaders knew that it was the sound of the Ming army's artillery, it was the first time they had heard such a shocking cannon sound.
The sound of the Ming army's artillery not only stopped the Mongolian cavalry who had not fought very the battlefield in the south, but also made some ignorant and shallow Mongolian cavalry dismount and bow down in the direction of the hill. They believe that this is the manifestation of the Immortal Heaven.
The sound of the cannon rang out for half an hour before it stopped, but Bu Shitu and several Mongolian leaders were a little dazed, they didn't know what to do next.
Because in the roar of artillery, the Mongol cavalry, who were originally half-hearted in battle, naturally retreated, allowing the two armies to automatically separate. Bu Shitu and the others were at a loss as to whether they should take this opportunity to surprise the other party, or send someone back to the Chinese army to find out what was going on on the battlefield in the north.
Bu Shitu and several Mongol leaders had just discussed who to let find out the news, and the herald from the Chinese army camp had already stood in front of them and told them.
The right flank of the Chahar army had been defeated and surrendered, and the coalition base camp asked Bu Shitu to take the opportunity to break through the enemy's left flank and surround Lin Dan Khan's central army.
Bu Shitu and several Mongol leaders questioned the herald several times before finally believing that the Ming army had indeed routed the right flank of the Chahars.
At this time, several Mongol leaders had no idea of delaying any longer, and since Lin Dan Khan had lost, they should take this opportunity to force him to spit out the pastures and annexed tribes of the Chahar tribes.
Bu Shitu personally rushed to the battlefield with his own guards, and ordered his subordinates to shout the news of the defeat of the Chahar Division.
The right-wing Mongol tribes, which were originally half-hearted, finally defected on the battlefield desperately.
Gunchuktaiji, who presided over the left flank of the Chahar front, under the protection of the Golden Horde and some troops who had not defected, fled from the left flank position in disarray and ran towards the Chinese army under the command of Lin Dan Khan.
Lin Dan Khan, who was still organizing manpower and preparing to rescue the Chahar cavalry surrounded by the Ming army, understood that the general trend of this war was gone after he got Gonchuktaiji and lost his left flank.
After thinking about it for a moment, he had to give the order for the whole army to break through to the north. Due to Lin Dan Khan's quick decision, coupled with the lack of strength of the Ming army, and the different conditions of the Mongolian right wing departments, Lin Dan Khan's Chinese army still successfully escaped from this steppe.
Although Lin Dan Khan escaped with his army, he still sent an envoy to stay and ask to see Sun Chengzong, the commander of the Ming army.
This envoy conveyed the message of Lin Dan Khan that he was willing to accept the mediation of the Ming Dynasty and stop the conflict with the right-wing Mongol tribes. But please let those Chahar herdsmen who accidentally ran into the Ming army go home as a sign of the Ming Dynasty's goodwill towards the Chahar Ministry.
After listening to the officer's account, the cabinet ministers headed by Huang Liji immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Huang Liji reacted quickly, and after saluting Chongzhen above, he said with a smile: "Relying on Your Majesty's blessing, our army has such a great victory over the Mongols, and the old minister is here to congratulate Your Majesty..."
