Chapter 676: Reactions from all sides
Lu Xiangsheng's engagement outside the Datong border wall has become the focus of attention from many parties.
In the past, the Ming Dynasty still had a certain degree of restraint, basically only Xuanfu, and now even Datong is at war, that is, although they don't want to fight with the Ming Dynasty, they have to fight, they have to fight, they have to fight a life-and-death battle, and they have no choice in the face of the aggressive Ming Dynasty.
The Ming Dynasty naturally knew about Lu Xiangsheng's use of force, and without the emperor's signal, Lu Xiangsheng did not dare to rashly use force. The news was transmitted back to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty and the opposition were more concerned about the fact that the Ming Dynasty produced a literati governor who could go to the battlefield, which was the focus of attention of the government and the opposition, Lu Xiangsheng instantly became a hero of the Ming Dynasty, as for where Lu Xiangsheng was fighting, ordinary people may not pay attention to this, and may not be able to distinguish where is Datong and where is Zhangjiakou.
After Lin Dan Khan received the news that Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of Datong of the Ming Dynasty, had killed the ancient tribe of Méng outside the Saiwai, he left overnight, hardly stopping at all, and even did not want the support of the Ming Dynasty that was still being transported.
Liaodong.
Huang Taiji also received the news that the governor of Datong in the Ming Dynasty had killed the ancient tribe of Méng outside the border walls of Datong, but slightly later than Lin Dan Khan.
"Xiandou look, what is the Ming Dynasty going to do? What do we do now? Huang Taiji looked at the news in his hand and asked his adviser Fan Wencheng.
"Great Khan, the Ming Dynasty is going to fight Tumut, and Wo'er is in charge of all the departments" Fan Wencheng didn't think much about it, so he said, to be honest, he is also a literati, and he also reads sage books, he was also shocked by the news, a literati governor who can go into battle to kill the enemy, Fan Wencheng is confident that he can also be a Jinshi or a governor, and he can also take the lead in rushing into battle, and kill several people Fan Wencheng silently has low self-esteem.
"Emperor Ming's teeth are not small! Don't be afraid of choking" Huang Taiji gritted his teeth and said with some hatred, in Huang Taiji's opinion, in addition to avoiding the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and getting supplements from Lin Dan Khan, there is also an important factor, that is, after the westward expansion, it can also be connected with the Méng ancient right-wing tribes Once it is connected with the Méng ancient right-wing departments, you can collect the Méng ancients and enhance their own strength, their Dajin Eight Banners plus the cavalry of the Méng ancients can definitely dominate the grassland, and the Ming Dynasty wants to deal with him again, But it's not so easy, but now, the Ming Emperor seems to have started to deal with the méng ancient right-wing departments in advance, this battle is fought, I'm afraid that there will be no more méng ancient right-wing this word, I'm afraid that in the future, there will only be the Imperial Association After Xiangdao himself entered the grassland, he couldn't get anything to add, not to mention, and he had to face the endless sāo harassment of the Imperial Cooperative Army, how can he not hate?
Fan Wencheng didn't know how to answer, what's the point of hating? What else can I do if the whip is out of reach?
"..............., Great Khan Wencheng thinks that it is better to go west as soon as possible, and it is best if he can join up with the Tumut Vordu Division as soon as possible," Fan Wencheng reminded.
"It should be so, but I'm afraid that Emperor Ming won't be so easy to let Ben Khan say that this westward advance has to be linked with the Tumut and Wo'er Dusi departments, and it still has to pass through Lin Dan Khan's pass, and it has to pass under Lin Dan Khan's nose, I'm afraid it's not so easy" Huang Taiji said and became more ruthless. Huang Taiji is not stupider than Fan Wencheng, Fan Wencheng can xiangdao, he can also xiangdao, westward can go, but he must face Lin Dan Khan, Lin Dan Khan is just in the middle of him and the méng ancient right-wing departments, he wants to cross the Baicheng to merge with the méng ancient right-wing departments, Lin Dan Khan is a big obstacle, he and Lin Dan Khan are red-eyed, if it is to lead the troops to fight, he can easily bypass it, but now it is the transfer of the family, what should I do with this? It will definitely become the target of Lin Dan Khan, and it is impossible to pass under Lin Dan Khan's nose, but I am afraid that there will be no blood. In these scenes, the hatred in Huang Taiji's heart became stronger and stronger.
Huang Taiji's hatred made the people present feel terrible, and they didn't dare to speak out, but they heard the sound of a report outside the tent.
"Report! Qi master, Lin Dan Khan fled west. 、。 The messenger went into the sweat tent panting, knelt down and spoke.
"Oh, it's going fast! 、。 Huang Taiji was not too surprised when he heard the news that Lin Dan Khan had fled westward, which was almost as expected.
"Great Khan, the Great War is about to start, the heart of the Ming Dynasty is indeed very big!
This Lin Dan Khan is going to retreat back to guard against Tumut and Woer, and all the departments," Fan Wencheng immediately said the reason.
"Yes! Lin Dan Khan is gone, my Dajin is also going west, and this big war is about to start..."Huang Taiji suddenly said with some tragedy, this scene, he felt that he seemed to be stepping on a little bit to do it one by one. The Ming Dynasty just moved the military in the distant Datong, and after a series of reactions, he Dajin had to follow the actions of the Ming Dynasty. Huang Taiji really wants to say that he will not go west, but what can he do if he does not go west? Can his Shengjing withstand the bombardment of Ming Dynasty artillery? Or can it prevent the Ming Dynasty people from raising hot air balloons? Once the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty came to the city, he immediately became a lost dog, and if he did not prepare a way out in advance, would he become a lost dog and then consider the way back? …,
A tragic emotion rose from the bottom of Huang Taiji's heart.
Forbidden city.
Yang Gai looked at the Di Bao, but he couldn't stop smiling, the Di Bao in the past few days has been talking about Lu Xiangsheng.
"This Lu Xiangsheng really didn't disappoint me, and he was so brilliant as soon as he made a move," Yang Gai said to Sun Chengzong with a smile.
"It's still Your Majesty's discerning eyes, otherwise, Jiandou will not have a platform to perform......" Sun Chengzong said Lu Xiangsheng, and the smile on his face seemed to bloom, which was completely different from the usual seriousness.
"Hehehe......" Yang Reform laughed, at the beginning, he and Sun Chengzong were both embarrassed about who would be the governor of Liaodong and who would be the governor of Datong, and now it seems that the arrangement for the two people is right, Lu Xiangsheng made a big splash as soon as he made a move, and bragged to the Di newspaper for a few days, and a new star of Confucian generals who can write and martial arts is rising.
"Your Majesty, this fight, the situation outside this pass, will immediately change drastically!" Sun Chengzong said with a smile, every time he talked about Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chengzong always had a smile.
"Yes! This decisive battle is always to be fought, and it is better for me to take the initiative than to be passive..."Yang Gai said. Lu Xiangsheng's war in Datong was obviously intended to cause a series of chain reactions, which would definitely force the ancient right wing of Méng to assemble an army and fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, the ancient right-wing tribes will definitely gather a large army to fight against our dynasty, but I don't know how Lin Dan Khan will react, and I don't know how long Lin Dan Khan can hold out," Sun Chengzong said again. In addition to joining forces to fight Lin Dan Khan, there is even an oath with the white horse of the Eastern Invasion, since there is such a thing, then don't blame the Ming Dynasty for turning face, in fact, in the past, the relationship between the Ming Dynasty and the ancient right-wing departments of Méng was not bad.
"Lin Dan Khan, it's hard to say, he is very soft with my things now,... Hehehe, anyway, it's this season, it doesn't matter if he goes or not, it's better if he doesn't go and continue to consume strength, it's better to go," Yang Reform said with a smile. Lin Dan Khan At this time, Yijing is not an important part of the whole situation.
"Your Majesty is right," Sun Chengzong said. Actual. Sun Chengzong or Xiwang Lin Dan Khan retreated, otherwise, the strategy of letting the east and the west go will be difficult, if Lin Dan Khan has always insisted on connecting with the Jinning defense line, where to resist to the death, it is actually still a trouble, of course, it is just a trouble, meeting Lin Dan Khan of Huang Taiji, it is destined to be a tragedy, of course, this is only possible, it is actually impossible, Lin Dan Khan is impossible to give up his old nest Baicheng.
"If Lin Dan Khan wants to leave, I'm afraid that there will be news in the next two days" Yang Reform calculated the distance of the road and came to such a conclusion. Before he finished speaking, he came in and sent a message.
"Report! Your Majesty, Liaodong urgently. 、。 That shì reported from a serious and somewhat anxious manner.
"Oh, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao has arrived, and he was still talking about Liaodong just now." Yang Gengai smiled and took the urgent report handed over by Wang Chengen.
Yang Gengai immediately looked at it, looked at it, and his brows relaxed a lot.
"Your Majesty, what's the matter?" Sun Chengzong asked.
"As soon as Lin Dan Khan received the news that Lu Xiangsheng was fighting in Datong, he withdrew overnight, and he hesitated to buy oil at all," Yang Reform said simply, which was indeed expected. After Yang Reform finished speaking, he handed the urgent report to Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong glanced at it a few times, and then Yijing knew the content. The content is very simple, Lin Dan Khan received the news that the governor of Datong was fighting outside the border wall of Datong, and left overnight, and he didn't even want a lot of support that was still being carried, and he left in a hurry.
"Your Majesty, as expected, Lin Dan Khan retreated...... Sun Chengzong saw it, and his brows were loosened, which was almost exactly the same as the result of the deduction.
"Hehehe, Lin Dan Khan has a nose, and there are still people who understand!" Yang Gengai said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is right, my Ming war in Datong is almost equivalent to declaring war with the Méng Ancient Right Wing Ministries, and the Méng Gu Right Wing Ministries will definitely gather to deal with my Da Ming, how can my Da Ming be so easy to deal with? More than 100,000 people gathered, always looking for something to do, Lin Dan Khan was afraid that the people of the ancient right-wing tribes would attack his idea! Sun Chengzong said with some smiles.
"Hehehe, it's really good, this Lin Dan Khan is actually still a little capable, but he was born at the wrong time!" Yang Reform said with a smile, now that Yijing is almost December, the possibility of a direct battle between the ancient right-wing tribes and the Ming Dynasty is not large, because once it snows, the entire grassland may not be able to move, so the decisive battle will at least go until next year, and at most there will be some small and medium-sized wars this year. With the matter of Lu Xiangsheng, the people of the ancient right wing of Méng must be afraid of being surrounded and annihilated by the Ming Dynasty one by one, so they must hold a group, once they are grouped, after Liliang is older, it is inevitable that they will have some ideas, they may not be able to do anything about the Ming Dynasty, but they may hit the idea on the head of Lin Dan Khan, now most of Lin Dan Khan's liliang is in the east, and the west is relatively weak, and Lin Dan Khan retracts, which is also expected. …,
Sun Chengzong was speechless for a while, Lin Dan Khan was indeed born at the wrong time, he killed many tribes on the grassland for no reason, fell into a notoriety, and got a lot of mortal enemies, the actual benefit is still to the Dongyu, and when he encounters the Dongyu, it is a tragedy, except for sending the population wealth to the Dongyu, he can't do anything else, and now the east is squeezed by the Dongyu, and the west is about to be kicked by the people of the ancient right wing of Méng, and the direct border with the Ming Dynasty has been lost, and the channel for obtaining support has also been broken.
"..............., I just don't know how this Eastern Captive Chief will ......move," Yang Gengai asked intentionally or unintentionally.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it will definitely go west, Lin Dan Khan's concession must be to retract the old nest Baicheng, otherwise, it will be difficult to take care of the beginning, this Baicheng to Liaodong, at least two or three hundred miles of space, how can the east not occupy it? If Dongyu is not next to Lin Dan Khan, where will he recover his strength? Your Majesty, rest assured, things will not exceed expectations......" Sun Chengzong said confidently.
"This is also the case, it seems that this 10,000-mile war will soon be fully launched.................. Yang Gai said.
"Exactly, Your Majesty is now waiting for the news of the east's westward advance, and once it is determined that the eastern-captives are moving westward, it will be my turn to move......" Sun Chengzong said firmly. It means that once the eastern captives enter the grassland, then, on the grounds of preventing the eastern captives from making a detour and knocking on the pass, the Ming Dynasty will immediately activate the entire northern war system, and the Great Wall will enter a state of alert Once the border wall of the Ming Dynasty enters the state of alert, the war of ten thousand miles will really begin.
Just ,.........,Well, yes! This war is indeed about to begin......" Yang Reform sighed, not to mention life and death, success or failure in this move, it is also a matter of great importance to the Ming Dynasty and even Yang Reform.
Now is in the critical period of Yang reform to promote the ideological change of the Ming Dynasty, the reason why Yang reform can promote these things, relying on huge prestige, relying on prestige, if the war in the north fails, I am afraid that this prestige will fall to the bottom, for promoting the transformation of the ideological field, it is extremely unfavorable Yang reform can only win, can not lose, once lost, without a decade or two of time, it is impossible to recover.
It's just ,........., right, Master Sun, there's no problem with dealing with the Méng Ancient Right-wing Ministries, right? ”
Yang Gengai thought for a while and then asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, there should be no problem, at least above seven or eighty percent, the Imperial Association Army itself has more than 100,000, even if it is two out of one, there are at least fifty or sixty thousand men and horses to deploy, plus there are border troops, it is enough to transfer twenty or thirty thousand border troops to assist, plus the new army is in charge, at least it can deal with the 100,000 coalition troops of the ancient right-wing departments of Méng......" Sun Chengzong explained in detail.
"Well, I just don't know if the predicted 100,000 coalition troops are right, if there are less, it will be easy to do, if there are more, it will be difficult to do......" Yang Reform said again, these countermeasures and problems, in fact, Yang Reform himself is also a participant, and he knows how to deal with these situations, but things are about to happen, and he is a little unconfident.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, it should be no problem, I rely on the side walls and cities to defend, and the méng ancients don't have a sharp weapon to attack the city, how can I withstand it? Don't teach cavalry to siege the city...... "Sun Chengzong said, now hand grenades are quite popular in the Ming Dynasty army, especially in the border passes, yijing is quite popular, relying on grenades, even if it is an ordinary fort, méng ancients want to capture it, there are no several times the casualties, that is not to think about it, with grenades, in the face of the méng ancients who have no siege weapons, the defense of the fortress has soared.
"Well, that's right, more than 100,000 people don't do anything to produce, this eats, drinks and retreats, I want to see how long the soldiers and horses of the ancient right-wing departments of Méng can last......" Yang Reform said, in fact, Yang Reform didn't pay much attention to the ancient right-wing departments of Méng, the defense system of the Ming Dynasty itself is quite powerful, and now after strengthening, the ancient right-wing of Méng wants to say that it can't get along with the Ming Dynasty, and the idea of fighting the Ming Dynasty is a blind thought, and there is no way to take the Ming Dynasty for so many years, There is no reason why it is feasible for the Ming Dynasty to recover its strength now. In terms of morale, the Ming Dynasty is now even more high, and it is not afraid of the méng ancients.
"Your Majesty rest assured, now my Ming is strong, on this grassland, I have long been afraid of the Ming Dynasty, and the people are already panicking, and there is a tradition of accepting the canonization of our dynasty, many tribes have the heart to return to our dynasty and join the Imperial Army, and when the war starts in the future, Your Majesty will see a lot of interesting things..." Under the coercion of those people in the Military Intelligence Agency, I don't know how many ancient tribes in the "half-hearted" méng ancient right wing, the Ming Dynasty can be said to know everything about it. The tribes on the grassland, has always had the tradition of accepting the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, in the eyes of many tribes, the situation is not good, the Ming Dynasty is powerful, and it is a good way to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty. …,
Only ,........." Yang Reform also laughed silently, the difficulty of dealing with the right wing of the méng ancient and dealing with the Hou Jin is not above a grade, dealing with the Hou Jin, Yang Reform can only be wiped out, and the Hou Jin blood battle to the end, there is nothing to say, and for the méng ancients, what kind of differentiation and coercion, what kind of killing, release and other means, take turns on the field, will definitely play the méng ancients to death.
“…… By the way, Master Sun, how is the mood of the Imperial Association Army now? It won't go wrong then, right? "I thought about the enemy's side when the time comes, and Yang Reform also remembered that it is good to fight against the water on his side when he doesn't want to fight, if you want that, this will be a lot of fun.
"Your Majesty rest assured, this will not be, those imperial alliance army rely on privileged trade to make a profit, not to mention, my dynasty is now more abundant money and food, never short border pass soldiers a penny of silver, there are new army and border army [suppressed] suppressed, the imperial army there dare not say a word, each tribe is only fifty percent of the money to go out to fight, and fifty percent is under the control of my Ming Dynasty, if there is a rebellious heart, but also consider the consequences, furthermore, Your Majesty has always kept his promise, promised to give them a penny of the booty has not asked them for a point, They also want to win the Méng Gu Right Wing and divide the things," Sun Chengzong continued to explain.
"Well, this is not bad...... this war, you need to keep an eye on this aspect of things, if someone is half-hearted and kills directly, I don't see that there are half-hearted people in the Imperial Association Army...... Yang Reform nodded, the Imperial Association Army system is actually the Eight Banners system learned, and the war is drawn from three to fifty percent, which is not only to leave fire for the tribe, but also to take the seven inches of those people who go to war, so that those people dare not have the mind of rebellion, and they dare not contribute to the effort.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Sun Chengzong agreed. (To be continued!)
