Chapter 650 Mobei
But at this time, could the Ming army easily let the tiger go back to the mountain? The news of Yue Zhongqi changing his flag came, and the Ming army, with great morale, was like a chicken blood. Whether it was Lin Jianzhang in the north or Yang Xu in the south, they knew in their hearts that a decisive battle was right in front of them.
When the Qing army had not yet had time to retreat across the board, the Ming army launched a full-line attack. At the same time, Yue Zhongqi did not stop after changing his flag. He led his army out of Runing, and his troops were divided into two groups, one north and one west, and went straight to Xuchang and Nanyang.
In this way, how could the Qing army resist? The so-called defeat was like a mountain of fallen, and although the Qing army, which had already failed, had hundreds of thousands of troops, was powerless. Except for the personal troops led by Longkodo and others, the other Qing troops stationed everywhere almost surrendered.
After more than ten days of battle, the Central Plains War ended with the disastrous defeat of the Qing army. In the end, there were only more than 40,000 Qing troops who escaped by chance, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops were all lost to the Central Plains. With the end of this battle, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty had completely solved the Central Plains issue and thus controlled most of the land of China. Whether in terms of politics or situation, the goal of taking the Qing Dynasty and replacing it was achieved.
The result of the Central Plains War shocked the world. The strength of the Ming Dynasty was obvious to all. There was no objection to the Ming Dynasty. After Zhu Yicheng from Nanjing learned the news of the victory, although he firmly believed that since the war started, the Ming army would win and lose, the real result was still very excited.
The happy Zhu Yicheng immediately went to Taimiao to comfort his ancestors and ancestors, and at the same time announced the victory of this battle in the world, and the whole country celebrated.
Later, Zhu Yicheng rewarded the meritorious ministers in the Battle of the Central Plains, especially Yue Zhongqi who changed his flag at a critical moment and directly appointed him as a marquis. As for Yue Zhongqi, Zhu Yicheng had always wanted to ask for it at the beginning, but who expected that by accident he now became a general of the Ming Dynasty. The surprise of Yue Zhongqi made Zhu Yicheng happy and issued an order to let Yue Zhongqi come to Beijing as soon as possible. He wanted to take a good look at what the famous general in history looked like.
However, Zhu Yicheng's good mood did not last long. Just when the Ming Dynasty was excited about the battle of the Central Plains, he suddenly received an urgent report from the Jinyiwei from the north. This urgent report made him sweat suddenly. After reading it, he immediately summoned the Minister of Military Affairs into the palace to urgently discuss the changes in the north.
Almost at the critical moment of the turning point of the Central Plains Battle, something earth-shaking happened in the north, that is, Mobei. According to the urgent report of the Jinyiwei, the main force of the Qing army, who suddenly disappeared a while ago, appeared in Mobei. Without anyone expected that, the Qing army attacked the three troops of Mobei with a thunderous attitude.
Logically speaking, it is extremely difficult to completely wipe out the opponent's opponent in combat on the grassland. After all, the Mongols on the grassland are nomadic peoples and can run even if they cannot fight on war horses. But who would have thought that the Qing army had been deliberately trying to secretly unite other Mongolian troops this time, blocking all parts from north to south of the Moorch and Korchin in advance.
More importantly, it was not only the Qing army that sent troops, but also the other Mongolian troops, which seemed to have joined forces long ago to divide the north of Mobei. Under the leadership of the Mongolians, the Qing army first attacked the most powerful Tu Xietu Khan's troops, the three tribes in Mobei. They did not notice the danger at all, but they did not wake up until the Qing army approached. But at that time, Tu Xietu Khan, who thought he was smart, just thought that the Qing army was here to question, but did not expect the real purpose of the Qing army.
What is even more incredible is that before the war began, this smart man, Tushetu Khan, was actually killed by an inconspicuous herder, and his head was cut off in front of many people. After killing Tushetu Khan, this herder announced in public that his identity was Bala of Zasaktu Khan's grandson. This made all the Mongolians look at each other and cannot believe their ears.
As soon as Tushetu Khan died, Tushetu Khan's tribe, who had no preparations, was instantly in chaos, and at this time the Qing army also began to attack. The entire Tushetu Khan's tribe suddenly realized and understood the real purpose of the Qing army, but it was too late at this time. The Qing army had made all preparations. Although Tushetu Khan's tribe was brave and good at fighting, it was powerless to turn things around in this situation.
In just two days, the large Tushetu Khan tribe collapsed. After the Tushetu Khan tribe was resolved, the Qing army continued to attack the other two units without stopping. At this time, the other two units who learned about the defeat of Tushetu Khan tribe were very scared when they heard the news. Although they still had a certain strength, they had almost no chance of winning with the Qing army, who had joined forces with the other Mongolian tribes and swallowed the Tushetu Khan tribe.
Especially at this time, the troops of the Rakshasa Kingdom also appeared at the same time. In the battle with Tushetu Khan's tribe, this army of thousands played an important role, making it impossible for the cavalry that the Mongols were proud of to break through the Rakshasa people's guns and bullets.
With the emergence of the Rakshasa army, the three Mobei tribes, which were already low and unprepared, were destined to be defeated. In the end, in order to preserve their troops, the other two surrendered themselves when they were unable to defeat and could not escape. Since then, the three Mobei tribes, which were once powerful, were swept into the old pile of paper with thunder, thus becoming history.
After solving the three tribes in Mobei, the Qing army rewarded the merits and divided the grasslands in Mobei. The Qing army drew nearly half of the young and strong people into their tribes for the population of the three tribes, and all the rest were divided by the Mongolian tribes and Rakshasa who participated in the war. The grassland in Mobei was given to Korqin and other tribes, and the one near the south was given to the rest of the tribes. As for most other areas, they were naturally obtained by the Rakshasa Kingdom, which was involved in the war, which was also one of the agreements between the Qing court and Rakshasa.
Most of the cattle and other livestock in the three tribes of Mobei were also conquered by the Qing army for military use. You should know that the drought in the northwest is getting worse and worse, and the Qing army's supply is not sufficient. With these cattle and sheep as a supplement, it can greatly alleviate the logistical pressure of the Qing army.
The Rakshasa unit that joined forces with the Qing army in the northern part of the Moon and solved the three Mongolian units in the northern part of the Moon was the elite unit of Duke Cherkasky, whose troops had more than 5,000 people. If Berekov's troops were added, the total force would exceed more than 6,000 people.
In addition to the "huge dividends" that have been obtained in Mobei, the Rakshasa Kingdom suddenly has a considerable force of 60,000 to 70,000 people. Of course, most of them are Mongols, but this is not important to the Rakshasa Kingdom. As long as the soldiers of the empire are under the footsteps of the empire, these people will naturally be the people of the empire, and having these Mongols is more conducive to their rule and development here.
