These steel-arm crossbows are one of the great achievements of the Western Renaissance. In Macheng's opinion, simply comparing the advantages and disadvantages of the Ming army in the same period is meaningless. The Ming Dynasty is undoubtedly lagging behind in all respects and is in the West.

The gap will become bigger and bigger because the West experienced the great Renaissance. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty was still complacent and struggling in the quagmire of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Without experiencing a Ming-style Renaissance and not liberating the mind, the Central Plains Dynasty was no match for the Westerners after all. After a long period of emotion, he finally ordered to fall into the camp. Ye Heying set out two days later and ambushed on the way Lin Danhan returned to Baicheng.

After he joined the wedding, he started his journey back. Three hundred Western steel-arm crossbows and two hundred Yehe cavalry killing formations, Ma Cheng seemed to have seen Lin Danhan's body being shot into a sieve.

After Lin Dankhan's death, his youngest son Ezhe succeeded to the throne and Su Tai's concubine took power. This was Lu Xiangsheng's overall plan.

Ma Cheng was very impressed. Scholars were much more powerful than military men like me. Lu Xiangsheng asked Ma Cheng to marry the Mongolian concubine, and he also firmly asked Ma Cheng to marry two at a time, and Su Tai Concubine

It must be married, and the beautiful concubine Namu Zhong cannot let go. If you marry two at a time and then fight against Mongolia, Mongolia in the south of the desert can be completely pacified, and all the population and war soldiers will be in the hands of the general. Macheng Qi

She rolled her eyes straight and refused mercilessly, asking me to marry Lin Danhan's two concubines to make a joke.

However, Lu Xiangsheng stubbornly insisted on his own opinion. Ma Cheng also knew that his plan was very reasonable and the best strategy.

The tradition of the Mongolians is that winners take all, and the internal strife of the Mongolians is equivalent to family wars. The left-wing three parts, right-wing three parts and Korchin tribes all claim to be orthodox, and they kill them in order to compete for the orthodox status of the Golden Family.

Blood flows into a river. In terms of bloodline, the Khalkha tribe among the seven tribes is the purest bloodline, quite close to the Mongolian branch, and is also the descendant of Dayan Khan, the leader of the Yuan Dynasty's Zhongxing. His bloodline is much nobler than the Korqin tribe.

However, the Korchin tribe finally belonged to Lin Danhan and gradually occupied an orthodox position.

Therefore, in the past orthodox battles, the seven tribes in the southern desert attacked each other with deep hatred. Lin Dan Khan was powerful, and the Khalkha tribes surrendered to the Later Jin to fight against the Korchin tribe. In order to fight against the Later Jin and the Mongols who opposed their own tribes, Lin Dan

Khan also took the initiative to form an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, but later the alliance was torn apart by Emperor Chongzhen. After understanding the origin of the conflicts between Mongolian tribes, he could understand what kind of ignorant Emperor Chongzhen was.

The orthodox battle between Mongolian tribes lasted for more than two hundred years, and the casualties could not be calculated, and the hatred was as deep as the sea.

The Khalkha tribes who opposed Lin Dankhan surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty. Finally, there was no possibility of Lin Dankhan's tribes bowing to the Jurchens, and they would inevitably have to divide their lives and deaths. The Khalkha tribes who surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty led the Jurchen cavalry into Mongolia in the southern desert.

, while Emperor Chongzhen, an ally of Lin Danhan, foolishly tore up the alliance with the Korqin tribe and cut off the free aid of 400,000 taels per year. Therefore, Lin Danhan was furious and worthy of sympathy. He was a teammate like Chongzhen, who was a pig.

The face of the pit is gone.

Lin Danhan's life was even worse when the Khalkha tribe, who defected to the Jurchens, showed off his power and made his life even worse.

One has decreased and the other has increased. Finally, Lin Danhan's Korqin tribe has only a population of only 200,000 to 300,000, and the number of soldiers who can fight is about 300,000 to 40,000, and the territory that can be controlled is getting smaller and smaller. Macheng misses the late emperor more and more, and Lin Danhan must have thought it would be

The same is true. The strategic vision of the late emperor Tianqi Emperor was so bright. The mere 400,000 taels of free aid could help Lin Danhan control three to four of the six tribes in the southern desert.

These three or four groups of people were nearly 100,000 cavalry. Although most of them were light cavalry equipped with simple equipment, they were also a powerful force. With this Mongolian cavalry threatening from the rear, Huang Taiji would not dare to approach the Great Wall in his dream, but all this was

The short-sighted Emperor Chongzhen himself destroyed it. A foolish monarch made the gateway to the southern mourning grassland open. The Later Jin army drove straight into the Great Wall and fought to the capital.

When assassinating Lin Danhan, Ma Cheng was helpless and could only take a risk.

This matter must not be allowed to fail. Once it fails, Macheng will have to launch a large army to attack the Korqin tribe. At the very least, Lin Danhan must sign the alliance under the city. Forced Lin Danhan's troops to gather troops and the Jurchens on the grassland and the Jurchens.

The close-knit divisions eradicate. This backup plan is to kill 1,000 enemies and lose 800 of them. It must be said that Kaiyuan's civilian power and military power will be exhausted. Kaiyuan can't withstand the consumption of a great war at this moment.

Ma Cheng naturally refused to agree to Lu Xiangsheng's marriage strategy.

What's the matter with marrying two Mongolian concubines? It's really hard to accept psychologically. Lu Xiangsheng stubbornly persuaded him, "Su Tai, Namu Zhong," the two of them must marry at least one, Ma Cheng refused for a while.

I came up with a compromise solution. Ni Yuanlu had not married yet, so I let Lord Ni marry two at a time. Lu Xiangsheng agreed helplessly, and it was barely acceptable to do so. The second-class Jinshi of the Ming Dynasty and the military officials were not

It is considered to be a humiliation of the two concubines.

Ma Cheng gently wiped his sweat, and finally got rid of a big burden and everyone was happy.

Poor Lord Ni was sold together when he was still recovering from his injuries. Lu Xiangsheng reluctantly agreed. A Jinshi from the Ming Dynasty was still very admired on the grassland. After all, the Northern Yuan Dynasty occupied the Central Plains world and was deeply influenced by the Central Plains culture.

The sign of a Jinshi Gong is still very shining.

The wedding is approaching, Emperor Chongzhen's edict has also arrived, and there are rewards.

Although Minyue is just a side room, she is extremely noble. She is the dignified Princess Ye He. This brutal marriage was given by the late emperor. The emperor must have a decree to express his attitude, which means that Ye He has actually become a vassal of the Ming Dynasty. Ye He tribe

Although it has been destroyed and its reputation is still there, the dignified and great country cannot be lost. The emperor's gifts were transported to Kaiyuan after several twists and turns. The gifts were 1,000 taels of silver, 100 taels of gold, a batch of jewelry, and a large number of large gifts.

A vest cut by Tomorrow.

Ma Cheng received the edict and accepted the congratulatory gift, but he was quite dissatisfied. It was too shabby for the young emperor to take action. Did he cut his vest with his own hands? Emperor Chongzhen really liked to play this set of sensational drama, but it was just sensational. The previous emperor

I would never play this trick of being stupid. The late emperor had never given clothes made by officials, but the late emperor gave me trust and generousness. When I thought of the late emperor, I felt sad.

Two days later, Lin Danhan arrived, and his favorite concubine Namu Zhong was accompanied by his 800 King's Tent. The journey from Baicheng to Kaiyuan was quite safe, but it was difficult to cross the mountains and ridges. Macheng led his generals to welcome him in person.

, gave enough face to the Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Kaiyuan Beiguan, the eight hundred cavalrymen were stationed in Beiguan. Lin Danhan and a group of tribes entered the city, and the people were much richer than when they met last time.

After the greetings, Ma Cheng held a banquet at the highest-end Louwailou in Kaiyuan. He handled the documents at hand properly, and led his personal soldiers out of the Admiral's Mansion. The Louwailou was on Hualiu Street. It was already late at this time.
