When did the situation change?

The high officials in the court might be indifferent, but Qi Jiguang knew it all.

That is since the Mongol Khan succeeded to the throne in the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing.

From that time on, the left and right wings of Mongolia reached a consensus and joined forces to annex Duoyanwei.

Chen Dahan and Huang Taiji joined forces and plundered the horses, cattle and sheep of Duoyan tribe; under the pretext of marrying a girl from the Duoyan tribe, they were able to flee the Chaohe River for a long time - "with the intention of threatening the three guards to return home, and then

It can be seen that he even wanted to conquer the Ming Dynasty with his guards."

It was also after this year that when Ji Zhen's official document discussed the situation, it finally changed from Duoyan Wei's "naked scorpion snake, the situation is uncertain" to "the foreign barbarians were all coerced, and the tribes moved far away, either as guides or as guides.

Just plunder.”

In the thirty-eighth year, Duoyanwei served as a dog for the Mongolian right wing, and served as Kunduliha, the younger brother of Anda Khan. His son Xinai Huangtaiji served as a guide, and led tens of thousands of people to attack the Jizhou fortress.

In the 40th year, Duoyanwei once again acted as a dog for the Mongolian left wing. Together with Tuman Khan and other troops, tens of thousands of people broke through Qiangziling, plundered Tongzhou, and killed countless people.

It was not until the first year of Longqing that the leader of the Duoyan Guards, Yingke, was driven by Tuman Khan and died from a firearm when he violated the customs again.

Finally, the blood feud between the two sides became deeper and deeper.

This is naturally what Tuman Khan is happy to see.

That's why Qi Jiguang said that if he sent troops to attack the nest, he might play into the hands of the Tuman Khan.

Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang Gong couldn't help but frown when he heard this.

After a while, he started to smack his mouth in frustration: "Then what Qi Shuai means is that he doesn't agree with the use of troops against Duoyan Wei?"

After saying that, he seemed to feel that his tone was not very good, so he quickly added: "Hey, brothers will listen to you anyway. If you give me an accurate message, I can go back and make arrangements in advance."

After Qi Jiguang gained the support of the central government, he was able to command more than 81,200 main soldiers and more than 60,000 guest soldiers in Ji Town. In addition to official rank, he relied more on prestige!

As a famous hero who fought in both the South and the North, Qi Jiguang's reputation was earned.

Even though Deputy Commander-in-Chief Zhang Gong smelled the smell of military glory and was ready to make a move, when he saw that Qi Jiguang had other ideas, he immediately expressed his support.

Qi Jiguang heard this but did not answer.

As if he had already made a plan, Qi Jiguang looked deeply and slowly said: "Use troops! We must use them! But we can't just focus on one corner!"

After hearing this, Zhang Gong scratched his head and was confused.

Qi Shuai is good at everything.

It's this Confucian general's behavior that makes people intolerable.

It's just a man who writes a lot of military books. He always hides his deep meaning in his words and refuses to let go until he reaches a conclusion. Even at the critical moment before the war.

There is no one who comes from the military background!

Qi Jiguang knew that the man was unhappy, but he did not explain it.

This was in response to the Central Committee's inquiry. Since only he and Governor Liu were asked, the details could not be revealed easily.

But his meaning was actually expressed very clearly.

Even before that, Duoyanwei invaded Knock Pass several times.

The central government still issued many rewards and sent people several times to express to him that as long as he no longer led the way for Tuman Khan, mutual trade could be opened.

Although the posture is a bit humble, the effect is naturally there.

Nowadays, most of the differences of opinion within Duoyanwei are based on this matter.

Dong Hu, the uncle of the leader Chang'ang, took control of the army on the grounds that Chang'ang was young and firmly supported the Tuman Khan. By frequently invading Jibian and knocking on the pass three times a year, he had already won the support of the Tuman Khan.

.

The leader, Chang'ang, followed the wishes of the people and gained the firm support of the property owners in Duoyanwei, intending to annex the Ming Dynasty and open up mutual markets.

This is the essential reason for Duoyanwei's split behavior.

Especially after March, the emperor issued an edict allowing Chang'ang to come forward and start mutual trading.

The overt and covert struggle between the two has become increasingly obvious.

In this case, Duoyan Wei cannot be killed indiscriminately.

Instead, we must quickly behead Dong Hu, and then support Chang'ang, open mutual markets, restore order in Duoyan Guard, and use Duoyan as a barrier again, and even as a springboard to attack Tuman Khan!

Qi Jiguang would explain these matters to the emperor and the cabinet in his memorials.

But there is no need to declare it casually in broad daylight.

Before Qi Jiguang walked down the Great Wall, he glanced outside the Great Wall again, his eyes were extremely high, and he murmured: "Since the Central Committee is interested..."

"The confrontation between the Emperor and the Mongol Khan has just begun. There will be many military exploits from General Liu in the future."

Qi Jiguang thought of the news he heard recently.

Wang Chonggu entered the cabinet... drilled the capital camp... reissued military pay... and even now planned to use troops against Duoyan Wei.

The new emperor looks like a martial artist in a trance.

If this is really the case, there are too many places where we can make great achievements, including the Japanese in the south, the Tatars in the north, the barbarians in the east, and the barbarians in the west!

For the long-term plan, the first examination paper of the center must be answered well!

…

There is Aomu Forest slightly south of Hetao and Laomu Forest slightly north. There are Donglu native barbarians stationed here.

Tuman is Tumen, the fifth-generation grandson of Dayan Khan and the eldest grandson of the little prince, who is also the current Great Khan of Mongolia, Boer Jijin·Tumen.

The Tuman Khans stationed themselves in ten thousand households in Chahar and nomadically lived in the Xilamulun River Basin.

It's about five or six hundred miles away from Jibian.

The headquarters has 60,000 people in charge, including the other two 10,000 households under its actual control, and has an army of 100,000.

Even if the outside Mongolians saw such a behemoth, they would not dare to breathe easily.

Not to mention the Jurchen foreigners who came to do business in advance.

Nurhachi carefully followed the family elders and warriors, looking around curiously.

The Mongol Khan's camp was located on the vast grassland.

The sweat tents, relatives, cronies, and generals' accompanying tents were laid out inside and outside, forming a core circle in the center of the grassland, and no idlers were allowed to enter.

From time to time, messengers and cavalry hurried in and out to convey military information.

Not far from the camp, a team of well-trained cavalry was practicing. The sound of horse hooves and the sound of horns were intertwined and could be heard in the distance.

No strangers are allowed to enter, but it is full of mystery and power.

Nurhachi felt that his whole mind was being hooked.

It's a pity that he just comes to sell goods with the family and has no status. He is not allowed to even walk around at will, let alone watch closely.

Nurhachi is a Jurchen, and his ancestors were Wanhu in the Wanhu Mansion in Oduoli in the former Yuan Dynasty, so they naturally had a lot of glory. Unfortunately, after six generations, their family fortunes have long since declined.

In addition, his biological mother died early and his stepmother is in charge of the family.

Good things don't happen to him, but he is indispensable for the hard work of traveling thousands of miles away.

Compassionate with him was Kanggulu, who was born a wild species.

Kanggulu stood on a step, listening to the cavalry screaming in the distance.

He turned around and headed towards Nurha Chidao excitedly: "Kabuto! Listen! There are so many rides!"

"If our tribe has so many horsemen, and the Mongols hire us in the future, I will have to charge three times the price!"

Kanggulu is different from Nurhachi. Although the latter is also suffering, he still did a good job in enlightenment in the ten years before his mother died.

The former are born as wild species that are not to be seen, and their knowledge can only be so.

Nurhaci shook his head and said seriously: "Ahhun, if I have so many riders, I will be Temujin!"

Kanggulu was stunned for a while after hearing this.

After a while, he burst into laughter.

I couldn't help wiping the tears from my eyes, waving my hands and saying, "Okay, okay, then you are Temujin."

Temujin, also known as Genghis Khan, needs no introduction to what a character he is.

Who would have expected that Nurhaci would think of this person in a delusional way.

Seeing that his words were taken as a joke, Nurhachi smiled.

But I couldn't help but think about it in my heart.

Hearing that the leader of the Southern Dynasty was still four years younger than him, he was given the title of emperor and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers at his command.

If I also have this background, no, even a small part!

Give him tens of thousands of horses, and he will definitely have a showdown with these so-called Wanli Emperors, Tuman Khan, and Anda Khan!

Thinking of this, Nurhachi looked at his tattered clothes again.
