Chapter 2 Chapter 57: Pursue and kill first(1/3)
July 13, the sixth year of Taishi.
In the vast grassland, the cold wind whistles.
Cobdo River Basin.
After more than a month of escape, the Ming army has returned to the court. Although there are 30,000 troops left by the Ming court, the court has also given a quota, allowing the local Protectorate to recruit 70,000 troops in the Protectorate's Mansion on its own.
But all this takes time to adjust.
The original dozens of garrison border guards on the southern desert grassland were transferred into the pass and stationed in the Great Wall, and handed over the entire southern desert grassland to the Anbei Protectorate.
Taishi's first northern expedition, Benyashi died, Tubro died, Tatars and Oirata were together, and only less than ten thousand people were left, and they were already frightened birds.
Mahamu looked at his grandson and said, "How is it? Have you found it clearly?" Riding on the horse, Mahamu looked solemn and squeezed the whip unnaturally in his hand.
Yesen said: "The road ahead is smooth, and all the Ming army retreated, but we built fortifications across the river. We want to return to Mobei, but we have no chance."
"In my opinion, the only thing we can do now is to move westward."
Yexian was already panicked and lost his energy. This Mongolian Khan, who planned the Tumu Fort Incident and killed hundreds of thousands of elite troops in the Ming Dynasty, has since made the Ming army slump and civil officials began to take power.
Now it's just a little doll.
Mahamu said: "The westward migration is indeed the only way. We only have more than 7,000 tribes left. We are going to fight head-on with the Ming army, and there is no chance of winning."
"It's really abominable that the young acting emperor of the Ming Dynasty is, and Alutai is also a fool."
Mahamu blamed all the failures on Alutai's decision-making mistakes and Fang Shiyu's ruthlessness.
The Ming army did not accept surrender. Anyone who could pick up a knife or put on the horse on the grassland would be killed in as many cases, without leaving any one. The policy of massacre really made the Ming army encounter many resistances.
However, under the name of restoring the glory of the Golden Family, the Ming army also recruited a group of loyal Mongolian soldiers to help.
Yexian said: "It's not the time to talk about this. I'd better find a way to run quickly, be careful of Timur coming over, and focus on sending horses to the southwest. The Ming army has the grassland and will not be forced to pursue us on an expedition. There is no need to worry too much in the future."
"Along the way, we may encounter Timur, so be careful and be more careful."
Mahamu sighed.
Once upon a time, he was also a marquis named by the Ming Dynasty, swimming his own mat on the grassland.
Unexpectedly, after listening to Alutai's nonsense, what did it mean that the food shortage in the Ming Dynasty had begun to be messed up. If you arrest Dadu and capture the small acting acting emperor of the Ming court alive, you can reappear the Dayuan Empire in one go.
Listening to Mahamu's sigh, Yexian also lamented: "After this battle, if we cannot find a fertile pasture in the west, we will never have the chance to return to Mobei."
"In such a severe blow, in the future, we still have to bow to the Ming Dynasty, accumulate strength, strive for it, and have the opportunity to counterattack and come back."
Mahamu looked hesitant and looked into the east.
Take out the pampered roll from your arms and look at the Ming Dynasty described above. The flower world on the pampered rolls not only praise the land of the Ming Dynasty, but also praise. The ancestors of the grassland dreamed of living in the wooden houses in the Ming Dynasty.
There are all good things to say on the parchment roll, the prosperity and beauty of the Central Plains.
"It's a pity that my birth was not at the right time. I'm afraid I won't see you in my life!" Taking a deep breath of air conditioning, Mahamu said in a daze.
Yesian said: "Have you ever seen the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty? Is it really as good as the one said on the parchment?" Yesian, who looked questioning, was confused.
He is Mahamu's grandson, so he has naturally seen the pampering scroll, but the yearning for the Central Plains on this pampering scroll is beyond my understanding.
He had never been to the Ming Dynasty, and was now chased by the Ming Dynasty and ran all the way to the Kobdo River Basin, which made him feel a little more at ease.
Mahamu sighed lightly and said, "Oh, when my ancestors attacked the Central Plains and seized the flower world of the Central Plains, what was like? My ancestors would not lie."
"The eldest son's expedition to the West, and the whole West together, was not as prosperous and prosperous as the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that when I was born, it was already 20 years old. Before I could remember, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made an expedition to the north."
Mahamu said helplessly that he had only seen a little bit of the prosperity of the Central Plains. That memory was so vague, and the heaviest part in his memory was Zhu Yuanzhang's first Northern Expedition, and Emperor Shun of Yuan fled north in a hurry.
Immediately afterwards, the Ming court fought against the grassland one after another. In the 20 years of Hongwu alone, they fought against the Yuan court eight northern expeditions until they reached the sea of fish. All the main forces in the Northern Yuan were wiped out and the princes and nobles were captured.
In the original history, in the thirty years of Hongwu, there were more than ten Northern Expeditions against the north, and few defeats were achieved. The Ming Empire, which was destined to be the one who was almost smooth in the Hongwu Dynasty.
But except for the first Northern Expedition, when Zhu Yuanzhang personally coordinated the combat policy, march route, and went to the front line to command, all other Northern Expeditions were led by generals, and Zhu Yuanzhang only gave the route and target.
Therefore, Hongwu's northern expeditions many times, but it was not as famous as the Five Conquests of Mobei. The reason is that the title of Emperor Zheng personally expeditions is not ordinary.
As for those who say that Zhu Di's ability is stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang, we don't know where they can see it.
Let’s surrender first and submit a statement to the Ming Dynasty. Cobdo’s side is far from the Ming Dynasty’s defense of soil, so they did not want to stay here. Let’s rest for decades.
Mahamu closed the pampering scroll and invaded the Ming Dynasty in the south? It really responded to the saying that a lean camel is bigger than a horse.
Even if the Ming Dynasty had food shortage, even if the Ming Dynasty had problems with this and that, in the early Ming Dynasty, the peak of the Ming Dynasty's national strength, the military's combat power was brutal and unreasonable, and the blessing of firearms was also supported by firearms.
If you want to invade the south, you will not only die or die.
And Mahamu is no longer fantasizing about reviving the glory of the Great Yuan, restoring the Yuan court, and rebuilding the Yuan Empire.
Although the current adversity is not enough to eliminate Mahamu's ambition, he still understands the principle that a real man can bend and stretch.
He smiled contemptuously and said, "Don't worry, the people of the Central Plains have always cared about their faces. We offer our condemnation and blame our sins on Arutai and Benjasili."
"And we have surrendered to the Heavenly Thunder King and have tribute horses, they will definitely accept it happily. As long as we can make them believe that we are willing to surrender to the power of heaven in their mouths, and are silenced to disobey the snake. After a hundred and eighty years, the Ming court will be weak and will launch a large-scale expedition to the east, take back the grassland, and plan to go south."
Mahamu thought very well, very good.
After Fang Shiyu became the acting emperor, the grassland paid tribute, and Fang Shiyu used the highest specification Kanhebao money to redeem it.
But he thought about stabilizing the surrounding situation and developing the first five-year plan quickly, but he became Mahamu's eyes. The Ming Dynasty court was very proud of his face and would rather give more money, just a fool in the name.
Hearing Mahamu's voice, Ye Yi smiled awkwardly and echoed repeatedly.
"This Ming court's acting emperor is far behind Zhu Yuanzhang. The first thing he had just taken power was to invite dozens of national tribes to gather in the capital and open border trade and trade."
"The king who resolutely defended himself and had no intention of pioneering his mind. He was so happy that he was the one who said that he was narrow-minded. It is said that before he took power, he had all the descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang overseas."
"A narrow-minded person who even the princes and grandsons cannot tolerate, from everything he does, except for his ruthlessness, he has no power as an emperor. He is not my strong enemy on the grassland."
"At this time, he probably woke up from laughter in his dreams, immersed in the name of the Tian Khan, the saint Khan we sent, and thought that he could rest assured if he conquered the prairie."
Mahamu said with a gloomy face and sneered.
They had decided to camp in the Kobdo River Basin and go further west, where there were more unknown dangers, which was far less than here, surrendering to the Ming Dynasty and gaining opportunities for development,
In their hearts, everyone believed that the Ming Dynasty would agree to their peace talks and would accept their annexation in the Kobdo River.
"Grandpa, but we..." Yexian sighed softly.
Mahamu chuckled and said, "After this battle, the grassland has fallen into ruin, but it doesn't matter. We are still alive, and there are tribesmen and other tribes, either become lackeys of the Ming army or die in the grassland!"
"At least, we don't have to worry about other tribes raiding us, and the grassland will be united like never before under the pressure of the Ming army."
"When the Ming army is unable to control the Mobei and the herdsmen flee, then after we accept it, great achievements will be expected.
In fifteen years, the next group of wolf cubs grew up, and in an instant they were tens of thousands of string control men. Grandpa wanted you to drink horses and Yangtze River...
"Chahan is a fool. He made the Ming court's acting emperor blind and his legs lame. Now he has been reintroduced. He has been charged with revealing military secrets. All the Mongolian soldiers in Xianxingwei were cut and killed. All the Mongolian soldiers in Xianxingwei were cut and killed."
"Genghis Khan's glory cannot be restored by their family alone. We are all descendants of Genghis Khan. What our ancestors can do, we can do it too!"
"I want you to step on the South Mountain!" Mahamu is old, and he also knows that he will never have a chance in his life. But that kind of heroic spirit seems to be going south today, step on the South Mountain, and drink on the Yangtze River.
It seems that we can cross the Great Wall, siege Beijing, and invade the Central Plains in the south.
However, imagination is always full when you think about it, but when you really do it, reality will not only teach you the skinny, but again and again what imagination can only be left in your mind to imagine.
Mahamu was facing Yesen's education, but before he could go far, a Mongolian man rushed over and looked pale and said in fear: "Khan, Khan, Ming army, Ming army are here!"
It was like the thunder in the sky, and it exploded with a bang. Mahamu and Yesen looked at each other, and only fear was seen on each other's face.
If the Ming army had to chase them at this time, they could only continue running, give up the last Kobdo River and head westward, but they had no confidence in what the West looked like.
The previous heroic spirit was full of passion, and it disappeared in an instant.
The Ming army chased after them, and the fear and fear caused to them could already dispel all fatigue.
Everyone was full of energy at this moment.
Mahamu said: "Did they say why they came?"
The Mongolian people said, "I don't know, but they killed someone, and they were shot to death with me!!"
Although Mahamu had already had three points of guessing and had expected a little bad, at this time, he was still willing to hold a little luck in his heart.
But when he heard that the person was here to kill someone, Mahamu was shocked and coughed twice. Yexian said on the side: "How many of them are there?"
"I don't know that at least the front troops have at least 20,000 to 30,000 people. They are all light cavalrymen with one man and three horses."
Yexian was shocked and widened his eyes. Mahamu, who was beside him, quickly shouted: "Retreat, retreat quickly, hurry up, move quickly!"
"Assemble, gather, retreat, retreat!"
"Grandpa, are the Ming army too shameless? We just sent away the envoys some time ago. They are here to attack now. What else did you say at the beginning? Forgetting friendly countries forever, it is a nonsense that will never be easy forever!"
"While we are weak, we want to take it all in one go. Grandpa, we can't retreat!" Yexian shouted quickly.
Mahamu was stunned for a moment and said with a suspicion: "What should I do if I don't withdraw? Can I still fight head-on with the Ming army? If we are all dead, there will be no future in the grassland!"
"The millions of people on the other side of the Onan River were killed by the Ming army and captured, and only we were left. Don't act irritating, run away!"
Mahamu hurriedly pushed Yesen, the Onan River, which was Genghis Khan's hometown and the largest camp on the grassland. The Ming army's killing in the Onan River was not what they said, so benevolence, righteousness and morality!
"All animals know that they cannot be concerned about face in the war between races and groups. Once they break up, they will be more cruel and more cruel. Because those who care about face are extinct. Run, run!"
Mahamu only felt it hurt, it hurt very much, and he was slapping himself in the face, it hurts very much. After so many years, the efforts of the Ola tribe disappeared in an instant and became the smoke of the past.
