Chapter 787: Ma Yongzhen's strategy
***
Not to mention that Tang Yue entered the enemy camp alone, how to persuade Nandan Tusi Mo to do it. The method of drawing ding that he mentioned is indeed being implemented in Monan.
Qin Mu had already sent a holy decree, ordering Ma Yongzhen and Meng Ke to ignore the Qitate who had scurried into the Hetao for the time being, and instead go all out to kill Norbu, who occupied the area of Guihua City (Hohhot).
The so-called method of drawing Ding is not to draw strong men from all the departments of Monan, but just like the original Meng Ke ordered the seven departments to send troops, nominally still let each of the various departments of Monan send half of the troops and horses to conquer Norbu together.
In the city of Shan Yu to the north of Jiulonggou, Ma Yongzhen gathered the leaders of the Sunit Division, Chahar, Tumut, Abagar and other departments, and the crowd was crowded for a while, and the big tent was crowded.
The tribes of Chahar and Tumut, in fact, like the Horqin tribe, were originally divided into nearly ten banners by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, each with its own banner, although it was still named one, in fact, the banners did not belong to each other.
There are a total of 49 such banner owners in the entire Monan, of which 24 were recruited by Ma Yongzhen to Shan Yucheng.
Ma Yongzhenhu stood on top of the handsome position, glanced at the 24 leaders in the tent with a calm expression, and said: "Everyone, you have also seen the fate of the two flags on the left and right of Tumut, as well as the left banner of Sunit, Teng Jitai, if you don't run fast, you will have to end up in a different place." ”
Teng Jitai said with a bitter and bitter face: "Governor, you don't need to say it, you just say it, how to fight, I, Teng Jitai, am not ambiguous, and I am willing to be the striker." ”
Norbu and Chitait went south, Sunit was the first to bear the brunt, Tengjitai was half-beaten when he ran fast, nearly half of the clansmen were captured, and most of the cattle and sheep were lost, so he naturally didn't have a word.
Wulihan and Saihan, who are in the middle and rear banners of Chahar's right wing, are the largest under the control of the Datong garrison because the pastureland is located outside the Datong side wall, and they both have expressed their attitudes: "Dadu Governor." Norbu has just annexed the Tushetu tribe, and immediately went south to invade the tribes, and he must not be allowed to continue to wreak havoc, so please give the order of the Grand Governor. ”
Tuya probably figured out Guò Norbu's ferocity to show his mildness. After going south, he blindly instigated Norbu to annex the various ministries by force.
Although Daqin also annexed the banners of Horqin, Wu Keshan was made an earl, his daughter became Zhaoyi, and his son Qin Tiedan was given the surname of the country to lead the army for Daqin.
The leader of the two banners of Tushetu and the land of Mert, which was annexed by Norbu. All of them were brutally beheaded, and women and children became captives of Norbu.
Compared with the two, they are not the same thing at all, so at present, the leaders of the various departments in the south of the desert are still very united in their joint crusade against Norbu, the evil wolf of the north of the desert.
But Ma Yongzhen has already received the holy decree, and what he has to do this time is not just as simple as recruiting all the tribes of Monan to crusade against Norbu, but to implement the law of drawing Ding in disguise.
Nominally, it was still necessary for all the ministries to send troops together to recruit Norbu, but after the war. These soldiers and horses will not be returned to the various departments, but will be incorporated into the Qin army sequence and fight for the Great Qin for a long time.
It will not be easy to achieve this goal, at least not yet, and it is not clear to the heads of the ministry. Otherwise, they might have sided with Norbu.
How to constantly weaken the various departments in the process of conquest, and finally achieve complete control, and then implement the law of drawing for a long time. From among the strong men over the age of 16 in various tribes, one of the two or three is not a trivial thing.
After Ma Yongzhen received Qin Mu's will. After thinking about it a few times, I had a little gain in my heart, and then I recruited the heads of various departments to the big tent.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe in your sincerity in begging the thief, but in the past two months, we have spent countless money and food in vain, but we have not been able to achieve any serious results, and we have let the Chitat flow to the Hetao.
I believe everyone knows what the problem is, that is, each department does its own thing, and it is difficult to cooperate closely, so that it is passive everywhere, and misses the fighter plane again and again, but is led by the nose by Norbu. ”
When Ma Yongzhen said this, he swept his cold eyes at the 24 people in the tent, and everyone avoided his gaze and did not dare to look at each other.
In fact, this time Ma Yongzhen dispatched more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, including a total of 40,000 soldiers and horses from various departments;
It's a pity that these leaders have their own selfish motives, for fear that they will lose a lot. Some don't even work hard. That's why Norbu and Chitater are so unscrupulous.
"If you continue like this, the Governor will lead his men to the Loop to pursue Chitath, and you will deal with Norbu yourself."
"The Grand Duke!"
"Grand Duke, it's not that we don't want to help, it's just that Norbu is too cunning."
"Yes, yes, you can't lead the army to the Hetao."
“”
The heads of the various departments are in a hurry, no matter what, once Ma Yongzhen leaves it alone, they will really suffer, unless they surrender to Norbu, they will fight on their own, and they will definitely not be Norbu's opponents, and it will only be a matter of time before they are annexed.
Ma Yong raised his hand and pressed down to stop the noise of the various leaders, and then said: "You have all been canonized by my Great Qin Emperor, and Great Qin should not have watched you being swallowed up and ignored. But each of you is too selfish, and you all want to preserve your strength, and none of you are willing to really contribute. How does this work?
If it goes on like this, it will not be beneficial to anyone in the end, and now that Chitaat has entered the Hetao, Dzungar is attacking Hexi, and Heshute is attacking Longyou, His Majesty Xià In this case, I would rather ignore the Hetao first, but also want this governor to unify you, and deal with Norbu first, but I can't bear to let you be annexed by Norbu.
Your Majesty has done your best to be benevolent and righteous, but you still have your own selfish intentions. As the saying goes, if you do evil in heaven, you can still forgive; and thou shalt not live. Think about it for yourselves, if Daqin only cares about himself, who will die in the end? ”
"It's our fault, don't be angry."
"Yes, we will do our best in the future and do what we are told."
“”
"No way!" Ma Yongzhen pressed the handle of the knife with his hand and said coldly, "Now that everyone makes more guarantees, once they face a strong enemy, they will inevitably want to protect themselves. ”
"What does the Governor say?"
"That's it, Governor, what do you say?"
"In order to prevent the various departments from avoiding the enemy and protecting themselves in wartime, the Governor announced that the men and horses of the various divisions participating in the war would be disorganized and reorganized together, and temporarily under the command of the generals designated by the Governor, so that all the troops in the event of a war would have men and horses, and they would both be prosperous and the other would be lost. In order to avoid the situation of avoiding the enemy's cowardice. ”
The leaders looked at each other, and when they thought about it, only Ma Yongzhen's method could avoid the situation that everyone avoided the important because of selfishness, and this was fair to everyone, and there was no favoritism.
"I support the Metropolitan in doing so." Teng Jitai was the first to stand up and speak.
Immediately afterwards, Ulihan and Saihan, who were in the middle and rear banners of Chahar's right wing, also came out and said: "We also support the approach of the Grand Governor, which is very fair, and it is good for everyone to exterminate Norbu as much as possible." ”
"Does anyone else have any objections?" Ma Yongzhen asked murderously.
On the surface, there is really nothing wrong with this approach, and if anyone openly opposes it, then his selfishness will be exposed. Therefore, despite the concerns of some people, no one dared to be the first to stand up against it.
"Since everyone is not opposed, then this is the end of the matter." Ma Yongzhen struck while the iron was hot and implemented it in one bite.
In the end, he did not forget to persuade the various leaders, "This governor might as well tell you a heart-wrenching word, although Heshuote and Junggar have raised troops one after another, but the Great Qin has a million soldiers, and the land is vast and rich. There is no problem with Daqin consuming for a few years, think about it for yourself, as far as your foundation is concerned, this battle is still fought on your own territory, how long can you consume? Do your best to eliminate Norbu, and you will be the biggest winner. ”
"Yes, yes, the Governor said yes."
"I support the Governor's approach."
"I also support it"
In the end, Ma Yongzhen passed this method and completed the real control of the soldiers and horses of the various departments. Although he said that it was a temporary integration, no one noticed, and he didn't say whether he would return the soldiers and horses after destroying Norbu.
How long is this temporary, it depends on what Daqin means.
As long as Daqin feels the need, after fighting Norbu, there are also Hatat, Heshuote, Dzungaria, and Tsarist Russia, and even go to the Ottomans to fight the little monsters.
At that time, the soldiers were in my hands, and I had the final say.
If you don't accept it, you're good!.
