Chapter 296 Xuan Shi Slope
Compared with Xitumot and Chahar, Korqin's movements are undoubtedly faster than the front line. In terms of strength, Korqin is now stronger.
When Lin Dan Khan was still alive, Chaharga Xitumot was naturally stronger. In the fifth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji defeated Lin Dan Khan, which greatly damaged his strength. After driving away Lin Dan Khan and subduing Chahar and Xitumot, in order to suppress them, Huang Taiji used various means to differentiate and disintegrate, weakening the western Tatar tribes and strengthening the strength of Korqin. Now the power of the eastern tribes led by Korqin has jumped above the western Tatar tribes.
Dorgon swayed his country and attacked him, and used half of the capital's wealth to lure him together. Wu Keshan didn't know the truth about it. He had to do it in vernacularly, so what was so good?
But Wu Keshan responded positively not only because of the huge temptation of wealth in half of the capital. Whether it was him or his three brothers, the temptation of wealth was actually just one of them. The real reason was that they had great confidence in the Donglu.
Wu Keshan believed that the power of the Eastern Barbarians had been achieved. The wars with the Ming court over the years had almost no defeat. The Ming court gradually weakened, while the Eastern Barbarians gradually strengthened, and as one rose and the other grew, Wu Keshan believed that the Eastern Barbarians had a foundation to enter the pass. Not to mention that they could compare to Temujin, the greatest Tatars, but there was still a chance to sit firmly in half of the northern territory.
Moreover, through marriage and the Eastern Lu, Korqin was already a person on the same boat through various relationships such as the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Empire. Under such premise, Korqin could only contribute and also actively.
The most important thing for all forces is to choose. Whoever has a high vision, strong vision, and the right choice will be welcomed by a bright future.
Chahar and Xitumot also responded to Dorgon's call. Although they were not active, they were not without the same reasons as Wu Keshan.
In fact, in the original history, the Tatars' choice was undoubtedly correct.
On the front line of Xuanda, Zheng Jiu took the lead in taking action before Chahar and Xitumot attacked, but Qian Yue failed to take action against the eastern Tatar tribes.
But like Zheng Jiu, Qian Yue would not passively wait for the enemy's attack. He also took the initiative to send troops out of the Great Wall in Miyun North and led his troops into the grassland.
"If I wait for the Tatars to attack, I will lose my morale." On the vast grassland, Qian Yue rode his horse and said to the left and right: "Although I know that it is easier to defend the city according to the city. But I want to fight the Tatars on the grassland to see their quality, and to show the might of our Xia army, so that the barbarians on the grassland can be seen."
The defending of the city is probably not awesome for the Tatars. Only by fighting in the field and defeating the enemy and sweeping thousands of troops can we shock the Tartars and promote the divine power of King Xia!
The eternal reputation of champion Hou Huo Qubing was not from defending the city, but from chasing the north, sealing the wolf and the servants, and sweeping thousands of miles away!
This time, Qian Yue sent 12,000 troops to combine the troops organized by one lieutenant. In fact, the troops belonging to Qian Yue's tent were two lieutenants. One was new and the other was old.
However, Qian Yue had to go out of seclusion to fight, but he could not stay without a stay. This was the capital, not as good as the Northwest War Zone. Once there was any omission, the Tatars' partial army would break into the capital, which would directly threaten the safety of the capital.
The Central Plains dynasty has always been a difficult problem for fighting against the outside world. It is a perfect solution to send troops on the premise of ensuring the security of their own territory.
Therefore, in addition to sending troops, we must also divide the troops to defend well, and we will undoubtedly make greater efforts.
"I originally wanted to take the lead, but the Tatars were not slow." Qian Yue said: "Korchin is an iron-killer in the Eastern Territory. His enthusiasm for vassals is not comparable to the Tatar tribes in the west."
A general replied, "What the governor said is extremely true. But no matter how fast the Tatars are, what can they do? A war is the result of them."
Qian Yue smiled and said, "But you also have to keep their context."
Another general replied: "The Tatars came in a fierce and unrestrained manner. They thought that we were the same as the previous dynasty. They had already discovered the scene without collecting the detective cavalry at night. According to the arrangement of the governor, Xuanshipo was their burial place."
Korqin and other eastern tribes were very happy, but Qian Yue had already been concerned about it.
The so-called Xuanshipo is a place name in the grassland outside Miyun. This place is not unknown. During the Yongle period, Emperor Yongle, the former dynasty Emperor Chengzu, made a northern expedition and ordered a stone to be engraved here, so that the title of Xuanshipo in Lima Peak was named Lima Peak.
...
Wu Keshan actively responded to Dorgon's call and quickly gathered his troops - Dorgon asked Korchin to send 40,000 troops to support him, but even Dorgon probably did not expect that Korchin would still be so hard after Huang Taiji's death - a total of 60,000 Tatar cavalry, Wu Keshan almost hollowed out all the troops of the eastern Tatar tribes!
"The Han people say that lions fight rabbits and do their best." Wu Keshan said, "Since you have decided to send troops, don't hesitate or retreat at all. What's the difference between 40,000 and 60,000? The difference lies in my Korqin's loyalty to the Qing Dynasty! Hesitation is cowardice, and even more unwise. If you want to fight, you have to do your best."
Of course, there was another sentence in Wu Keshan's heart that had not been said - half of the capital's wealth is not so easy to obtain. If you can't get it first, if you go too late, Dorgon might not fulfill his promise. And then Wu Keshan would not be able to do so.
A large army of 60,000 gathered troops in Yidu within a few days. The so-called Yidu, also known as Lingjiquan, is also related to Emperor Yongle. During the Yongle period, several northern expeditions, the Ming army in the previous dynasty fought this place, but there was no water available. Therefore, the rivers in the water were mostly salt water and could not be drunk. It was not until a fresh water spring was discovered that it was Lingjiquan.
The land with lush water and grass in the south of the desert is where the Tatars live. Over time, Yidu has long become an important capital of Korchin.
Wu Keshan and his three brothers met with the tribes here, then gathered 60,000 soldiers and horses, drove 100,000 cattle and sheep, and the soldiers looked south.
Yidu is hundreds of miles away from the Great Wall defense line and four hundred miles away from Xuanshipo. Halfway through the journey, the Tatar army discovered Qian Yue's troops cruising around.
This surprised Wu Keshanji.
On this desert grassland, I have never seen the Han army for many years? I can't remember it. Since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the power has weakened and there is no offensive outside, only the defensive. The Ming court's detective cavalry never dared to go wild on the grassland. However, at this moment, it appeared again.
Wu Keshan suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"It seems that our enemies are more courageous than the emperor of the Ming Dynasty." Wu Keshan suddenly laughed.
His brother Sonom said, "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty knew our majesty, and therefore did not dare to invade. Our current enemies do not know our majesty."
