Chapter 546: Alliance Leader

For the silver ingot, Zhang Han's assurance, he could only hear that the new strong man who appeared on the grassland did not intend to unify the various departments by force, which meant that there was a lot less iron and blood, which was really excellent news for the weak Mongolian tribes, and after thinking about it again, the silver ingot said: "Okay, that's the best!" ”

Zhang Han scolded with a smile: "You have really grown up after thinking about it for so long this time." ”

Silver Ingot showed an embarrassed look on his face, he and Zhang Han knew each other in the forty-fifth year of Wanli, and the title was also from the Han boy to the name of the name, and then to the name, and now there is a historic change, Silver Ingot said: "After the alliance, you are the leader of my Mongolian tribes." ”

Zhang Han had a smile on his face, the word "alliance leader" was good, he liked it very much.

"And the ...... of Ombu Hongtaiji," Zhang Han pondered, "You can talk to him more when you go back to Xiaohei Fort after a while." ”

The silver ingot said: "I still think it is better for Hebu Shitu Khan to be able to release his previous suspicions, but the Great Khan loves Omu Buhongtaiji very much, and if he is on our side, the Great Khan will be able to step down in the future." ”

Zhang Han patted the silver ingot on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yes, that's what it means." ”

At this time, Zhang Hancai looked at Zhou Yao again, and he said with a smile: "Zhou Yao, your performance is very good, and you have not lived up to my trust." ”

Zhou Yao said in a deep voice: "My lord has won the prize, and his subordinates are just doing their part. ”

"It's good to be able to do your job well, not to mention that there are some things that you have exceeded your duty."

The two tacitly did not continue the topic, Zhang Han turned over and stopped Wen Zhongfa and the others, and the sand red horse galloped into Zhou Yao's subordinate queue like an arrow.

In addition to Zhou Yao, there are also two bureau cuirassiers, those faces Zhang Han is very familiar with, most of the cuirassiers' officer corps is from the literacy school of Xinpingbao, and there are also from Li Zhuang's military academy, each of them is equivalent to Zhang Han's protΓ©gΓ©, if it is about loyalty, these people are of course the first order without a doubt.

Their expressions are also the most excited, many people shed tears, Zhang Han smiled at them, these descendants are indeed angry, no matter how excited they are, the queue is always not chaotic, the cavalry of the two bureaus is shining with silver light, and the riding gun in their hands is always in a state of readiness, when Zhang Han passes by, everyone salutes him sideways, and when riding on a horse, this is the standard military etiquette.

Zhou Yao's subordinates are much calmer, more than seventy percent of them are bandits from all over the world, horse thieves, and poles in the mountains, these people have been held together by Zhou Yao for less than half a year, but Zhang Han entered their queue alone, which itself only represents an attitude: trust and acceptance!

I don't know who started it, and the tsunami-like "long live" sound sounded.

There was nothing special, no big win, but people were just shouting, shouting as hard as they could.

Not far away, several bunkers and military platforms began to set fire guns, and people cheered from the heights, and military flags were waved in the wind.

From this moment on, people know that this war against Beiyu, as well as the development of the entire Heyusheng, has finally reached a new stage!

……

"Boom ......"

The sky flashed a few arcs, like a dragon and snake flying, there was nothing to obstruct the grassland, thunder and lightning seemed to be more terrifying in the open place, the wind was also strong, and the rain was already very cold on the body, after all, it was already August, and on the grassland, it might be snowing in more than a month, and then the temperature instantly dropped to more than ten degrees below zero or even colder.

After all, this is still the Xiaoice period, and it should be colder than the later life.

Under the lightning and thunder, the felt bags were like tombs standing in the wilderness, there was no light, no human sound, only a round felt bag was irregularly crowded together...... The actual area of Mongol control was already very small, and Yusheng's cuirassiers with armored iron cavalry gave them more and more oppression.

Many Beiyu thought that Heyusheng had increased his troops, but in fact it was not, the cavalry increased but the cavalry on both wings were liberated, they no longer cooperated with the fort, and they did not need to protect the trade road, the combat effectiveness of more than 2,000 cavalry on both wings was far above that of Beiyu, and the same number of herdsmen just sent snacks to Heyusheng's cavalry, even if it was three or five times, it was a fiasco, unless a considerable number of armored cavalry was mobilized to cooperate with the herdsmen, and Yusheng's cavalry would be forced to retreat, but such frequent transfers, the morale of the Mongols, which was not high, became even lower. In the past, it was only the Taiji who wanted to withdraw to their pastures earlier, but now there have been a large number of herdsmen who have fled west or north, and the Taiji of each department were first whipped, and then they could not be stopped by killing people.

Bu Shitu Khan is not the same as ordinary Taiji...... He has a lot to worry about.

After this battle, it is conceivable that Bu Shitu Khan's originally low prestige will fall further, but fortunately, the Mongols are very heavy on bloodline inheritance, and the decline in prestige should only be a decline in appeal, and the other is that Bu Shitu Khan's eldest son Omu Bu Hongtaiji has fallen into the hands of Zhang Han, which makes Bu Shitu Khan worried and worried about his son's safety.

Then there is that Xiaohehe Fort is too close to Qingcheng, if the army is scattered and each tribe returns, it is likely that the next step is to gather the main force with Yusheng, or sweep the various departments, or capture Qingcheng.

Qingcheng is already the center of western Mongolia, close to the Karaqin and Ordo periods, as far as the Mobei three, the Oirat department, these tribes will come to Qingcheng to trade, at the same time it is also a political and military center, the surrounding Bansheng land also provides a large amount of food and vegetables for the Tumut department, if the Bansheng land and Qingcheng are not guaranteed, plus the smuggling trade is cut off, the impact is not Tumut one, but the entire western Mongolia, and even as far as the four Oirat departments in Qinghai in the Western Regions, will be greatly affected.

This is also the reason why the morale is so low, and the Taiji of various ministries are still struggling here, and now the withdrawal of the army is too serious.

But everyone is also dissatisfied with the status quo, and all the Taiji people are eager for an opportunity for change.

The news of Zhang Han's return to Jining Fort had been confirmed, and Tabu Nang returned to the Khan tent after a few days of wandering, and after reporting it, all the Mongol nobles were stunned.

Zhang Han took the risk to escape, and here he is not sure if he really dares to run out with a small group of cavalry, after more than 20 days, it is this Tabu bag that actually found out that Zhang Han is back again?

Everyone felt offended, and some of the bad-tempered Taiji ripped off their beards.

This is undoubtedly a humiliation, a heavy slap in the face of all Mongols!

This shows that Zhang Han didn't take the hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops in front of him to heart at all, he could not only leave at will, but also dare to come back after leaving, his actions are far more telling than words, Zhang Han's actions show a point, he looks down on this rabble in front of him at all!

What a humiliation it is for the Taiji, who claim to be the descendants of Genghis Khan, who regard the Han people as two-legged sheep, and the weak Han people who can fight the grass valley at will in times of famine!

Even if he was as weak as Bu Shitu Khan, he was extremely angry at that time.

But anger comes and goes like a torrential rain.

……

"Let's withdraw our troops."

Under the rain curtain, the lights in the felt bag of the Great Khan were bright, and Bu Shitu Khan and some of the Taiji he was close to got together, as well as a few Taiji from Mobei, Baihong Da Taiji, and the most resolute Acheng Taiji.

Bu Shitu Khan had a fever, and his voice was weaker than usual, which also made people feel his cowardice and incompetence even more.

The Taiji beside Bu Shitu Khan moved their bodies uneasily, and they all felt that their confidence was insufficient.

Ah Cheng said quietly: "Great Khan, retiring from the army is also an option, but I want to ask, what should I do after retiring from the army?" ”

Bu Shitu Khan said weakly: "The departments retreated to their pastures, and the herdsmen grazed to prepare for the winter, and the soldiers and the Taiji were also gathered together to guard against the surprise attack of Yusheng. ”

Ah Cheng said: "What if they gather their main forces in Xiaohei Fort? He Yusheng dispatched more than ten or twenty of the most powerful artillery and ordinary small cannons, with three or five thousand infantry, two thousand cavalry, we must concentrate at least all the armored cavalry, at least 20,000 cavalry, plus 30,000 to 50,000 herdsmen to be able to stop, after so many days, and Yusheng's combat power should be very clear to all Taiji, but you know that what I said is true, not a bluff for the enemy. ”

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Of course, what Ah Cheng said is true, and it is also what everyone is most worried about, since he and Yusheng have torn their faces, then they naturally need to worry about He Yusheng's revenge and gather the main force to prepare for war, so why disband the ministries at this time?

At this time, the most fortunate thing is the Mobei tribes, they are the farthest away from Yusheng, and they are not too worried about being attacked after going back, of course, the Taiji people in Mobei also feel the same way, and they are also worried that after the departments here cross, and Yusheng's tentacles will sooner or later stretch to Mobei.

This time, the hearts of the three tribes of Mobei were very uneven, and there was no one from the Chechen Khan Department, which was closely related to Zhang Han's business road, and the other two departments, that is, the Tuxitu Department, contributed the most, and there were many Taiji, and now it was their turn to worry the most.

Bu Shitu Khan said with some annoyance: "I also understand what Ah Cheng Taiji said, but the army has been here for nearly three months, and only one military platform has been removed. ”

Ah Cheng didn't answer, he bowed, indicating that he had nothing to say.

At this time, a Taiji beside Xi Lingse said: "Isn't it the responsibility of the Great Khan to urge all departments to use troops?" ”

Toboktaiji, who was beside Bushi Rabbit Khan, said angrily: "What do you mean by this, are you blaming the Great Khan? ”

That Taiji was not convinced, and said: "The Great Khan asked, and I answered, why is it a reproach?" ”

Another Taiji beside Xi Lingse said in a weird manner: "When will we Mongolians not be able to let everyone speak freely?" It is not the responsibility of the Great Khan that the ministries refuse to use their lives, but is it the responsibility of our people? ”
