Chapter 796: Sealing the Wolf Juxu
***
Qin Feng is vast and swings in the North Underworld,
Sweeping the sky and the river armor washer.
Seal the wolf Juxu today,
A triumphant song played the dragon court.
On the wolf dwelling on Xu Mountain, the west wind is cold, the banner is rolling, Jin Ge is like a forest, Jiang Yihan is a poet with a pen, Leshi remembers his merits, and the soldiers of the three armies are generous, waving their swords, cheering and thundering.
More than 1,000 years ago, Huo Hu rode the wolf Juxu, and his great achievements have been praised for generations. Today, everyone is once again sealed as a wolf, although there is a suspicion of being a toddler in Handan, but such a feat, after all, is not something that anyone can learn if they want to.
Among the thousands of soldiers, many of them were soldiers from Horqin, and their feelings must have been a little more complicated.
But in any case, now that they are a member of the Great Qin, and they have won a new victory, there will be a reward from above, and it is not an exaggeration to cheer for the joy of this victory.
In the battle at the foot of the mountain, Shala died in the chaos of the army, 6,000 Zasaktu cavalry, 1,600 dead, most of them were captured, and a small number were scattered.
In addition, 67 concubines of Zasaktu Khan Norbu were captured, as well as a son and a daughter, and hundreds of uncles, uncles and nephews.
Norbu's sweat tent was on the bank of the Tribulation River at the foot of the Wolf Juxu Mountain, and his savings over the years, as well as the income from the newly destroyed Tuxetu Tribe, together with various pearls and gems, worth nearly two million dragon coins, were all captured by the Qin army.
As for horses, cattle and sheep, there is no statistics at all, and preliminary estimates put it at least 15.6 million heads.
Now the entire Mobei is like a stripped girl, and there is no power to resist.
The north wind swept the white grass and folded, and the snow flew in August. This is not nonsense, in such a bitter cold place as desert. In the season of August and September, cold air hits. But heavy snow is also normal.
After celebrating the victory, they had no time to rest. The next day, the troops were divided into five routes, including 1,000 men and horses for Jiang Yihan, the governor of the capital, and immediately escorted the seizure of the pasture land of the king of Norbu and the return of 20,000 people (mainly young women and children) to Horqin, and the remaining four roads of men and horses, the troops were divided into four routes to sweep Mobei.
Mobei has a vast area, east to the Great Khing'an Mountains, west to Wulianghai and Altai Mountains, scattered with large and small pastures, and the climate is good in the past two years. Mobei is no exception, it can be said that the wind and rain are smooth, the water and grass are abundant, the cattle are strong and the horses are fat, and the sheep are in pieces.
If you can sweep the whole Mobei, there will be no less than five million cattle and sheep alone, and there will be a large number of war horses, these are the richest trophies.
In addition to this, there are also precious furs. Medicinal materials and so on, I believe that as long as the good news is returned, the merchants of Daqin will definitely flock to it, just like the scene when they first took Horqin.
Horqin has now established a number of large woolen mills. The production of sweaters, blankets, and the processing of leather requires a lot of raw materials and manpower. Therefore, the women and children in Mobei are also wealthy.
Chebai and Niu Wanchuan swept like fire in Mobei. Got rid of Norbu's wife and children, and Norbu, who was in Monan, didn't know anything. is fighting a fierce battle with Ma Yongzhen's army in the area of Naturalization City.
***
Eilechuan, under the Yin Mountain.
The sky is like a dome, enveloping the four wilderness.
The sky is vast and the wilderness is vast.
The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep low.
This world-famous folk song of the Northern Dynasties describes the scene around Guihua City.
Naturalization city is the sixth year of Ming Longqing, by the Tumut Department Altan Khan summoned skilled craftsmen, imitating a city built by the Yuan capital, a total of eight buildings and glazed gold and silver palace, Mongolian herdsmen gave this city a beautiful name, called Hohhot, which means the city of blue.
After Altan accepted the canonization of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty gave the city the name of Naturalization City.
It is surrounded by the majestic and undulating Yinshan Mountains in the north, and can lead to the rich grasslands in the north; It faces the Ordos grassland across the Yellow River in the south; the rolling Manhan Mountains in the east;
Here is the Yellow River, Heishui River alluvial plain, fertile land, flat terrain, convenient irrigation, the history of the Lechuan Fengzhou beach.
Compared with the bitter cold of Mobei, the climate in the area of Eilechuan is not only suitable for grazing, but also conducive to farming, and the towering Yin Mountain blocks the cold current in the south, and the temperature is much warmer than that in Mobei.
After Norbu successfully annexed the land and the left and right banners of Mert, he not only got a large number of cattle and sheep, but also increased his strength a lot, with a total force of 30,000.
Ma Yongzhen crossed the Heihe River with a reorganized army of 40,000 and broke through the city of Dabansheng at the southern gateway of naturalization in one fell swoop, destroying 2,000 enemies.
It is worth mentioning that most of the people in Dabansheng City were peasants who could not be oppressed by the Ming Dynasty and Jinxi, and the mutiny escaped, and the White Lotus Sect members who failed in the uprising fled to Mongolia and opened up thousands of hectares of fertile land in the area of Fengzhou River, connecting hundreds of villages. Today, this place is no different from the farming Han people in the Great Wall.
The Mongols couldn't just eat cattle and sheep, and it was because of this that Norbu tried his best to gain a foothold in Guihua City, and then used it as a foundation to sweep the entire Monan.
Ma Yongzhen broke through the big board and ascended to the ground, which made Norbu very annoyed, and scolded his subordinate general Zhuo Ligetu, who was ineffective in combat.
In order to get rid of it, Zhuo Ligetu pointed the spearhead at Chitat and Tuya, and he said to Norbu: "Great Khan, Chitat has different ambitions, and said to the Great Khan that they want to lead Ma Yongzhen to the Hetao, and they are now occupying Ningxia, defending by the river, and sitting and watching us fight with Ma Yongzhen, Great Khan, no"
"What's not?" Norbu's face was full of murderous aura, and he was put on a show by the girl in Yatu, which was a scar on his heart, and it was good that Zhuo Ligetu didn't mention it, but he was even angrier when he mentioned it.
"Great Khan, it's not that I didn't fight well, this time it was the Han people of Dabansheng who colluded with Ma Yongzhen, reported to Ma Yongzhen, and informed Ma Yongzhen of my troop deployment, so that Ma Yongzhen took advantage of the loophole to cross the black water"
Gegentaiji, who was next to him, also persuaded: "Great Khan, now is not the time to hold him accountable, Ma Yongzhen has occupied Dabansheng Land, and he will soon advance to the city of Guihua." Great Khan, I heard that Meng Ke in the east is also reorganizing the soldiers and horses of Weng Niute, Khalkha, Bahrain and other departments, judging from the effect of Ma Yongzhen's reorganization, once Meng Ke also completes the reorganization and comes from the east, I am afraid that we will be in danger of being trapped. ”
Gegentaiji was one of the most decisive under Norbu, who had always relied heavily on him, and he frowned and asked, "Gegen, what plan do you have now?" ”
Gegen said: "Great Khan, you can no longer defend the city of naturalization. ”
"You mean you want me to give up Naturalization City." Norbu really didn't want to do this, after annexing the two wings of Tumut, all the women, children, cattle and sheep were here, and Ma Yongzhen was also all cavalry, if he gave up the Naturalization City, how could he take these away, and the results of the battle that he finally got were thrown to Ma Yongzhen?
"Don't worry, I'm not asking the Great Khan to give up the city of naturalization. But you can't defend it to the death, Great Khan, now you should move the main force out of the city, and only leave some soldiers and horses to defend the city. Otherwise, once Ma Yongzhen besieged the city, naturalization would become a dead city. ”
Norbu was right when he thought about it, after the main force left the city, he could give full play to the strengths of mobile warfare, and he could also contain Ma Yongzhen, making it difficult for him to attack the city with all his might;
As long as it drags on for a month, as soon as the cold winter arrives and the snow falls, Ma Yongzhen will definitely have to return to Datong, maybe he will find an opportunity to defeat Ma Yongzhen, and then annex the various tribes of Monan in one fell swoop.
"Okay, just do as you say." Norbu's face turned pale, and he said to Zhuoligtu, "Ben Da Khan left 5,000 men and horses for you, Zhuoligtu, if you can't defend the city of naturalization this time, you will be beheaded along with your family." ”
Zhuo Ligetu hurriedly replied: "Don't worry, Great Khan, I will definitely defend the city of naturalization, people are in the city, and people are ruined in the city." ”
Dabansheng City is not far from naturalization, Norbu didn't care to say much, and after leaving 5,000 soldiers and horses to Zhuoli Getu, he hurriedly withdrew from Naturalization City with more than 20,000 main forces.
After leaving the city, Gegentaiji said to Norbu again: "Great Khan, I have a new idea, we might as well leave a few thousand men and horses to contain Ma Yongzhen, and the main force will rush to the southwest, and make it look like attacking the Hetao after Chitat;
In this way, Ma Yongzhen must not be left alone. Wait for him to chase after him, let's suddenly turn south and attack Datong, of course it is good to be able to fight, even if it can't be beaten, this circle will be enough to drag it out until the cold winter, and the Chahar flags outside the Datong side wall, which will be cleaned up by the way, so that Ma Yongzhen will also be in turmoil. ”
Norbu slapped his hands and praised, "Gegen's good idea, it's good, let's do it." ”
The Mongolian cavalry, just leave, among the more than 20,000 troops, Norbu once again left 5,000 to contain Ma Yongzhen's siege soldiers and horses outside the naturalized city, and he roared away with the main force, and went straight to Dongshengwei who crossed the river at Chitater.
