For Meng's brother Timur, he absolutely did not want to see the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty capture Liaodong, because he had a grudge against the Mongol Tatar tribe, and the Tatar Taishi Arutai would definitely retaliate against him.

In April of the twentieth year of Yongle, in order to counter the disturbance of the Tatar Arutai Emperor Yongle Emperor drove the third imperial expedition to Mobei, the fierce brother Timur also led the tribesmen of the Duolian tribe to accompany the expedition, and made great achievements and captured many Tatars.

The following year, the Tatars again went south to harass under the leadership of Taishi Arutai, not only attacking the Ming garrison but also attacking the Duoduo tribe, causing the Duoduo tribe to lose many people.

Now, the Mongolian Uliangha took advantage of Emperor Xuande's northern expedition to the Tatars and the Ming army in the Liaodong battlefield, and blocked the Shanhai Pass so that the Liaodong Ming army lost contact with the Guannei, which made the Mengge Timur uneasy and worried that the Tatars would find him trouble.

If it weren't for the base of the Xiaowu army in Liaodong, the Suzaku camp, which was located in Kaiyuan City, then Mengge Timur would have been attacked by the Tatar tribe long ago, and Kaiyuan City became an important military town to block the eastward advance of the Mongol army, so that Mengge Timur could be sheltered.

More than two months ago, the Mongol soldiers had gathered tens of thousands of people to attack Kaiyuan City, but unfortunately not only failed to capture Kaiyuan City, but was attacked by the 20,000 Xiaowu troops of the Suzaku camp, and after losing more than 10,000 people, the wolf bèi withdrew, and the Ming army in Kaiyuan City was in a confrontation.

The Ming army in Kaiyuan City captured thousands of Mongol soldiers, and after interrogation, they were surprised to learn that it was not the Uliangha who came to attack the city, but the Tatars and Warats, and it was not clear where the Uliangha were taking prisoners.

"There is such a thing, no wonder the war situation in Liaodong will be in a difficult situation, it turns out that the Tatars and the Warats have also been mixed in." When Li Yuntian was in Seoul, he knew about the Tatar Taishi Arutai and the Warat Taishi Tuhuan joining forces, so he was not surprised at all after listening to the words of Meng's brother Timur, and said solemnly.

"My lord, the Mongols have invaded this time and have captured many towns in Liaodong, and it is not easy for the lower officials to come here from Liaoyang City." At this time, the stout hundred households who had already come back to their senses bowed to Li Yuntian and said in a deep voice, "As far as the lower officials know, there are nearly 100,000 Mongolian soldiers on the border of Liaodong!" ”

"One hundred thousand!" Hearing this, Brother Meng's face suddenly changed, he knew that the Mongols were menacing this time, but in any case, he could not have imagined that there were so many troops, which were comparable to the strength of the Ming army in Liaodong, and the combat effectiveness was several times stronger than that of the Ming army in Liaodong.

Brother Meng's Timur believed that the stout hundred households were true, firstly, the stout hundred households came from Liaoyang City, the capital of Liaodong, and they must know the battle situation in Liaodong, and secondly, there was no need for the stout hundred households to lie to Li Yuntian.

"It seems that this time the Tatars and the Varats are pouring out." Li Yuntian couldn't help frowning, his expression became stern, the strength of the Warats and Tatars had exceeded his expectations.

The information provided by the stout hundred households Li Yuntian is the first time to know, this is definitely not a good news, in his opinion, the troop statistics in the stout hundred households may not count the Uliangha people who are blocked outside the Shanhai Pass, if you add the Uliangha people, then the Mongolian soldiers outside the pass are not around 150,000, and the Ming army in Liaodong will be at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers, which undoubtedly makes this battle in Liaodong more difficult to fight.

"It's just beyond my strength, I have millions of armored men and thousands of fierce generals, and they are undoubtedly moths to the fire and kill themselves!" Then, Li Yuntian turned around and said coldly to Brother Meng's Timur, morale is the most important thing at this time, and he can't let Brother Meng's Brother Timur know that the Ming army in Liaodong is in a worrying situation.

"Yes, the Jiaozhi rebels are millions of dollars, and the result is not that they were wiped out by the Marquis of Zhenwu with 3,000 Xiaowu troops, and when the Marquis of Zhenwu returns triumphantly with the emperor's northern expedition, those remnants of the Northern Yuan who don't know whether they are alive or dead will definitely be wiped out by the Xiaowu army led by the Marquis of Zhenwu." Hearing this, the stout Baihu interjected without losing time, and echoed loudly, secretly complimenting Li Yuntian and Xiaowujun.

At this moment, the stout hundred households would never have thought that the young military attache of the Xiaowu Army in front of him was the famous Zhenwu Marquis.

Hearing that the stout hundred households said that he had exterminated the millions of Jiaozhi rebels with 3,000 Xiaowu troops, Li Yuntian's brows twitched slightly, and he truthfully told the imperial court that the number of Jiaozhi rebels he had cleared was about 200,000.

However, both the cabinet and the military cabinet believed that the Ming army had failed to counter the rebellion three times in a row, and suffered heavy losses, so in order to explain the three defeats to the people, and also to encourage the people, the number of rebels exterminated in Jiaozhi was increased by five times, and the number of the rebels was declared to be one million, so that the failure of the first three counterinsurgency can be justified.

"If the Marquis of Zhenwu can come, then the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty will retreat!" The look on Brother Meng's face couldn't help but soften when he heard this, and he nodded and said to Li Yuntian.

After the pacification of Jiaozhi, the imperial court hyped up the victory of Jiaozhi, and the fierce brother Timur naturally knew about Li Yuntian's heroic deeds in Jiaozhi, and at first he did not believe it, thinking that Daming was exaggerating.

However, since the soldiers of the Suzaku Battalion of the Xiaowu Army in Kaiyuan City repelled the invading Mongol soldiers, the fierce brother Timur knew that the Xiaowu Army created by Li Yuntian was indeed different from the Ming Army in the Liaodong Guard, and he was surprised by the strength of its combat effectiveness.

From the battle of Tumubao more than ten years later, it can be seen that the combat effectiveness of the Ming army's guard troops was weak, and hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated by 60,000 or 70,000 Warats, including the army transferred from Liaodong, not only suffered heavy casualties but also became prisoners of the orthodox emperor, and the combat effectiveness of the Ming army at that time can be imagined.

Although the combat effectiveness of the Ming army in Liaodong is now stronger than it was more than ten years later, it is not much better, after all, under the cantonment system, the Ming army lacks training and morale is low, even if some guards are diligent in drilling, but the decline in the overall combat effectiveness cannot be avoided.

To tell the truth, if it is a one-on-one confrontation, with the current combat strength of the Ming army in Liaodong, it is not the opponent of the tribe under the fierce brother Timur at all.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no major war in the Daning Division, Liaodong Division, and Nuer Gandu Division outside the Guan, so the Ming army of the three divisions has lived a relatively comfortable life.

At the same time, the tribes such as the Uliangha and the Jurchens often attacked and killed each other, and they had been experiencing the tempering of war, so the Ming army had already fallen behind if it fought alone, but fortunately, the Ming army was overwhelming, and neither the Uliangha nor the Jurchens could fight against it.

"Commander, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are strong this time, and the strength of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division is limited, so I am afraid that it will fall into passivity at that time." Under the gaze of everyone, Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, and looked at Brother Meng's Timur with a stern expression, "Before the emperor's northern expedition triumphs, we will drag the Mongol soldiers in Liaodong, and the commander will send someone to inform the Jurchen guards to bring troops to Kaiyuan City before February next year to discuss the invasion of the Mongol soldiers." ”

"This is a matter of great importance, even if the commanders of the guards can't come in person, this envoy hopes that they can send someone here." Saying that, Li Yuntian pondered for a while, and said solemnly, "The envoy will not use their people in vain, you tell them, for each envoy who sends troops, the envoy will give them a monthly salary of one or two silver, and after the arrival of the troops, he will immediately issue half a year's salary in advance, and all the grain and grass will be provided by the Liaodong Metropolitan Division." In addition, the pension of the war dead is ten taels of silver, and the pension of the wounded is five taels of silver, and each enemy killed is rewarded with one tael of silver, and one captured enemy is rewarded with two taels of silver! ”

"Your Excellency, can the imperial court really come up with so much silver?" Brother Meng's brother Timur couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, when he went out with Emperor Yongle to Mobei in the past, he didn't have much money, but Li Yuntian actually offered a monthly salary of one or two, which is a unique military salary in Liaodong.

Of course, although the salaries of the Jurchen guards were paid according to the capitation, they were not paid to the Jurchen soldiers, but to the pockets of the Jurchen commanders, which was a huge wealth for the leaders of those Jurchen tribes.

"Of course, my Ming Dynasty is prosperous and rich, this little money is just a drop in the penny, and the emperor is sympathetic to the Jurchen tribes' life is not easy, so as compensation, the Liaodong Metropolitan Division will sell them food and living necessities at market prices."

Li Yuntian nodded quietly, and said in a deep voice, "But the envoy has words first, what the envoy needs is elite soldiers who can fight well, and those old, weak, sick and disabled envoys will never want it." ”

"Your Excellency, rest assured, the envoy will definitely send someone to bring the message." Brother Meng's Timur felt that Li Yuntian didn't seem to be opening his mouth, so he couldn't help but bow to Li Yuntian with a look of surprise, never imagined that the Jurchen tribes could also encounter such a pie-in-the-sky good thing.

"Commander, you let people tell Yang Mu to answer Wu, now the military situation in Liaodong is urgent, if he still thinks that he is a member of the Liaodong Capital Division of the Ming Dynasty, then send troops to Kaiyuan City at that time." Li Yuntian bowed slightly when he heard this, and then thought of something, and opened his mouth to instruct Brother Meng's Timur, his move undoubtedly gave Brother Meng's Timur a step to return.

"Your Excellency, the lower officials are worried that the Korean Congress will obstruct it, and if Yang Mu Tawu wants to send troops to come, he will have to pass through the jurisdiction of the Korean State, and they have repeatedly obstructed Yang Mu Tawu from returning the Han soldiers and civilians, I am afraid that he will not be allowed to send troops along with him."

After Li Yuntian's reminder, the excited Meng's brother Timur came back to his senses and said worriedly, "I'm afraid that the delivery of supplies to Yang Mu Tagu this time will also be interfered with by the Korean state." ”

"Don't worry about this, this envoy will inform Kim Jong-rui, the envoy of the Hamgyong Province of North Korea, and ask him to restrain his soldiers and horses and not to intervene in the matter of Yang Mu's death." Li Yuntian waved his hand disappreciatively, smiled and said to Meng's brother Timur, he actually wished that the Korean State would obstruct Yang Mu Dawu, so he gave him the handle to make a move.

In the face of Tielingwei, Jianzhouwei, Jianzhou Zuowei and Mao Lianwei, which were occupied by the Korean state, Li Yuntian will definitely take them back, which is not only to appease the hearts of the Jianzhou Jurchens, but also to prevent the northward expansion of the Korean kingdom and the Ming Dynasty to rule by crossing the Yalu River, so that the Ming Dynasty's control over the Korean kingdom will be much weaker.

Brother Meng Timur only then remembered that Li Yuntian was the envoy of the Ming Dynasty to the Korean Kingdom, and his face couldn't help but soften a lot.
