Hulunbuir Prairie is the ancestral land of the Mongolian people.
It is precisely because of this natural pasture that so many excellent war horses can be raised.
Genghis Khan Temujin was able to establish the huge Mongol Empire, which was directly related to the Hulunbuir Prairie.
It was only after Genghis Khan seized control of the Hulunbuir Prairie that it began to take off.
Throughout the ages, this has been a battleground among the grassland tribes, and only the most powerful tribes can own this pasture.
Of course, since Temujin, this place has been the Mongolian private territory.
The highest honor of a military general is to be granted the wolf title of Xu, to meditate in Guyan, and to drink from the vast sea of horses. This is what I am talking about.
Langjuxu is a mountain. During the Western Han Dynasty, Langjuxu Mountain was a place where the Huns worshiped their gods. It was a holy land for the Huns. Most people could not climb that mountain. This was the Fenglangjuxu Mountain.
Guyan is also a mountain. Like Langjuxu, it is also a place where the Huns worship their gods.
The Hanhai is not a sea, but a huge freshwater lake, but it is too wide, so it looks like the sea. This is the Bell Lake in the Hulunbuir Prairie.
The one who fought here, the champion Hou Huo, is now ill.
But today, there is one more person, the King of Qin Zhu Xi.
"If you want to escape, where can you go? Since it is the Northern Expedition grassland, Hulunbuir cannot be missed. I don't believe it. The Mongols don't even want this pasture. They abandoned their ancestral land and left."
"When I take over the Hulunbuir Prairie, I think it's time to seal the wolf as a coward, hahaha!!!"
Zhu Xi, who was riding on the horse, laughed heartily.
When he started, he had no intention of pursuing the Tatars.
As the eldest son of all the kings and the legitimate second son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Feng received a good education since he was a child. Apart from Zhu Biao, he was the only one.
Zhu Yuanzhang still placed great expectations on him at the beginning.
He hoped that Zhu Xi could help the boss Zhu Biao and stabilize the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Xi lived up to expectations and showed excellent military talents since he was a child. When he was training soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied.
So Xi'an, which was originally intended to be the capital, was assigned to Zhu Feng as a vassal state, which shows that he attached great importance to it.
In fact, apart from being cruel and unkind, Zhu Xi was also very capable. At least when Zhu Di was in front of him, he had to lower his head and speak.
Historically, if Zhu Ping had not died, Zhu Di would not have been able to seize the throne.
He was poisoned to death because he was too cruel.
However, when Zhu Ying came to Beijing, because of his relationship, Deng was sentenced to death. Zhu Ping lacked Deng's cooperation, so he restrained himself a lot. The key is that Zhu Ying did not give him a chance to return to his fiefdom, so he did not
Was poisoned to death.
Of course, in the Japanese state of Zhu Ping, massacres and killings continued. The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change.
This time, due to his father's dispatch, Zhu Feng was approaching the Hulunbuir Prairie. He thought that he could also be granted the title of Liangjuxu.
"The Hulu have occupied our Central Plains for nearly a hundred years. Today, my king also came to the Hulu ancestral court and ordered the soldiers to slaughter for three days to comfort the spirits of my ancestors in the Central Plains."
Zhu Feng said with a sneer, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he looked like a great villain.
"As commanded."
Under Zhu Xi's order, 200,000 soldiers dispersed and went on a killing spree, bloodbathing the entire Hulunbuir Prairie in turn.
There are many herdsmen living here. The prairie cavalry can run, but they cannot run because only here can they feed a large number of cattle and sheep.
Zhu Feng's army has gone deep into the country, and logistics has become a troublesome problem. He is now plundering the cattle and sheep of these herdsmen to use as military rations.
Hulunbuir, as the ancestral home of Mongolia, is a holy place in the hearts of many Mongolians.
Zhu Ping's behavior greatly provoked them, and the Mongols who heard the news became very angry.
Even Huo Qubing didn't do such a thing back then.
It's just that they forgot at this time that what Zhu Ping did was just to return to them what they had done when they went south to fight the autumn wind.
They went south to plunder and treat the Han people as two-legged sheep. How could they ever show any mercy?
In the Tatar tribe.
Guilichi can no longer hide.
As the Khan of Mongolia, if Zhu Ping is allowed to kill people wantonly on the grasslands, his majesty will be completely trampled on.
Even the Qiliz tribe has many relatives living in Hulunbuir. Now their relatives are being slaughtered, and they have no choice but to run away. How can they bear this?
But Guilichi knew that he could not fight against the Ming army alone. Even if he could win, it would be a tragic victory. Not only himself, but also the Qilis tribe would suffer huge losses afterwards.
Seizing control of the grasslands is a pipe dream.
So Guilichi sent a large number of envoys to the Oara, Asut tribe, and the large and small Mongolian tribes.
He persuaded everyone to temporarily put aside their prejudices and unite to fight against the Ming army's invasion.
Choros Mahamu.
His father is Tatsuyu Hiroshi.
As a powerful official of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, Haohai Dayu naturally obtained a lot of benefits for his tribe.
Under the operation of Haohai Dayu, Emperor Elbek Khan of the Northern Yuan Dynasty married his daughter Princess Samur to his son Mahamu, and appointed him as prime minister to command all the tribes of Oara.
Mahamu and Taiping assigned Tupolo to the various tribes of Wala. In name, Mahamu was the chief, and the other two had to obey his orders.
Tatsuyu Kokai, who was originally killed because of a divorce plan, died in the hands of Oni Riki due to changes in history.
This made Mahamu extremely hateful towards Guilichi. When Guilichi established Mongolia, Mahamu did not recognize his right to rule and led Oara to split, which is commonly known as Eastern Mongolia.
"The Prime Minister should first put aside his prejudices and work together to deal with the Ming army's invasion. No matter how we fight within the grassland, it is a family matter, but the Ming army is different. They are our common enemy."
"The Prime Minister should have heard about what happened in the Wuliangha area. They surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. However, the Ming Dynasty did not fulfill its promise. Instead, it brought all the grassland people in the Wuliangha area to Daqingshan."
"They are now being used as slaves to build the city. It is said that even Azashi and the others can only eat pitiful food every day, carry heavy stones, and work with other untouchables."
"This time the Ming Dynasty is different from the past. They came with more than one million people, and they really wanted to occupy the entire grassland, instead of just to show their force like before."
"If we lose, then only the Prime Minister will be left. Will the Prime Minister lead his people back to the vast forest and live a life like monkeys again?"
The words of the Tatar envoy temporarily put aside Mahamu's original hatred, and his original idea of watching the Tatars die also changed.
It must be said that the Tatar envoy is eloquent and eloquent.
After all, they are not grassland people, but Han families who migrated with the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
After the Beiyuan Dynasty was destroyed, these Han families naturally turned to Guilichi, and their official positions did not change much.
It's just a new emperor, which seems normal to them.
This is different from the Ming Dynasty, because the Mongols are still the emperor, so there will be no such thing as death rather than loyalty. The most important thing is that their power is well protected.
Seeing Mahamu's hesitation, the envoy continued: "We got news that the Ming army also sent the King of Jin to lead an army of 200,000 to come to the prime minister. The reason why they haven't arrived yet is because the journey is long and it will take some time.
.”
"Prince Jin of the Ming Dynasty was famous for his cruelty. He even killed his own soldiers wantonly. Does the Prime Minister still expect to live a good life after surrendering?"
"The behavior of King Yan was rewarded by the Ming Emperor, which shows that this was not King Yan's personal intention. Then King Jin of Ming Dynasty will be even more cruel. Even if the Prime Minister does not unite with us, he will still face the attack of the Ming army."
Mahamu was moved.
In fact, he really wanted to make peace with the Ming army and surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, he also got news about Wu Liangha, but he thought that Wala was different from Wu Liangha.
Because Wu Liangha surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and then rebelled, the Ming Dynasty no longer believed in them.
Wala is located in the Eastern Mongolia region, which is even further away from the Ming Dynasty. He felt that the Ming Dynasty should accept his surrender and let Wala continue to rule this area.
But under the words of the messenger, Mahamu was shaken from his original idea.
He did not immediately agree to the Tatar envoy, but called Taiping to discuss it with Tupolo.
Tupolo said angrily: "The abominable Ming people have occupied our most fertile grassland, and they have no intention of leaving. The Ming Emperor wants to be the Heavenly Khan of our grassland and rule us forever."
"How can wolves bow to sheep? How can warriors who live on horseback surrender to the Han people? We should gather warriors and let these Han people know who is the real master of the grassland."
Taiping also said: "The Ming army built cities on the grassland. They want to rule us like they rule the south. They want to turn the warriors on horseback into untouchables who only know how to farm. This is against the will of Changshengtian."
"We should unite with the Tatar tribe and all tribes in the grassland to drive these Ming people out. Only our warriors have always gone south to plunder. How can we let them come to our grassland."
Taiping and Batu Polo did not have the same hatred of killing their father as Mahamu, so they naturally agreed to unite with the Tatar tribe.
Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the current Ming army is too powerful. If they do not unite together, they will only be defeated separately. Wu Liangha is the best example.
When Mahmud heard this, he immediately agreed to the request of the Tatar envoys to unite.
There is no problem here in Wala, let alone Arutai.
Because all the people of Duoyan Sanwei were taken away, all the tribes in Arutai were very angry and vowed to make the Ming army pay a huge price.
From then on, all the forces on the grassland united to deal with the Ming Dynasty.
Mongolia is collectively called Duqin Duerben, which means forty-four in Mongolian, which means that the Mongolians have a population of 440,000 households.
Of course, this is an imaginary reference, not a real one. After all, Mongolians are highly illiterate and would not engage in population census. This just means that there are very many Mongolians.
But this time Wala dispatched nearly 200,000 cavalry to attack the Ming Dynasty.
This number sounds a bit scary, but in fact it is just that.
Most of the cavalry here are grassland people from various tribes in Oara. Even if they ride on their horses, the youngest ones may be thirteen or fourteen years old, and the older ones are already in their sixties or seventies.
The original recruitment system of the Mongols was to draw one from every two men and two from every third man, but this time in order to deal with the powerful Ming army, a policy of one from every household was implemented, which can be said to be a real draw from the bottom of the cauldron.
Mahamu led the army to the expedition. In order to prevent his hometown from being stolen by the King of Jin, he asked his people to move farther to avoid the Ming army. He and the other two leaders set off from the other side and headed for Hulunbuir.
This time everyone's first target is the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty who is wreaking havoc in Hulunbuir.
Hulunbuir is the holy land of the Mongols, and they will take it back no matter what the price.
At this time, it was already late July.
Because of the Ming Dynasty's embargo, the people on the grasslands are currently very short of food, weapons, medicinal materials and other necessities.
If we cannot seize enough supplies from Ming Dynasty this time, this winter will be very difficult.
On the grassland, the messengers from the grassland tribes are faster than the Ming army.
Because their messengers who deliver the news are all one person and two horses, working day and night, and sleeping on horseback.
Zhu Ping in Hulunbuir did not know at this time that hundreds of thousands of cavalry were already encircling and suppressing him, and they were still arresting or killing grassland herdsmen.
Zhu Peng, who had already captured tens of thousands of people, did not rush to escort them to Daqingshan to build a city like Zhu Di, but instead imprisoned them for his own pleasure.
A large number of corpses are thrown into the bonfire party held every day.
In just half a month, more than 10,000 herdsmen were consumed.
In the end, the deputy general persuaded him that too many people would die and His Majesty would be unhappy, so he stopped.
However, at this time, almost all the grassland nobles in Hulunbuir had been killed by Zhu Xi.
When Zhu Feng killed someone, he was just looking at the grassland nobles to kill.
According to the Ming Dynasty's plan for the grassland, it was to change the class structure of grassland society. Zhu Fang believed that he was just using the quickest way.
It was also because of the death of a large number of prairie nobles that the prisoners held by Zhu Ping did not cause much riot, because their leaders were almost killed by Zhu Ping.
It is difficult for grassland people at the bottom to play a leading role.
Just when Zhu Xi was about to send the remaining prisoners to Daqingshan, he received news that the soldiers stationed in the distance had been attacked by the Mongols and suffered heavy losses.
Zhu Xi did not implement the deployment of ten thousand people as required by his father, but instead deployed three to four thousand people to defend the stronghold.
It is also because of this that when thousands of soldiers face the impact of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of cavalry, even with artillery and muskets, they cannot resist.
