At that time, Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, Tuohuan Timur, led the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty to flee north to Yingchang, and attacked the Ming army with Yingchang as the center, effectively preventing the Ming Dynasty army from advancing northward, thus preserving the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
Name.
From then on, Yingchang became the capital of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
The Tatar tribe claims to be orthodox in the Yuan Dynasty and has been stationed in Yingchang.
However, when Zhu Di personally conquered Mobei, he adopted the guerrilla tactics of retreating as the enemy advances, and pursuing and fleeing as the enemy.
To put it bluntly, as long as the Ming army dares to come, I dare to run away.
The majestic Emperor of Ming Dynasty, sitting on the great rivers and mountains, how could he care about the bitter cold land of Mobei? There was nothing to grab in Yingchang City, and the people withdrew after only a few days.
If you leave, I will come back. If you come again, I will run away!
In this way, from Yongle to Hongxi, from Hongxi to Xuande, and then to Zhengtong.
It's just that Zhu Di beat the Tatars so badly that Oara took advantage of the situation to rise.
After Totuo Buhua returned from the Khuliletai Conference, he began to gather troops and prepare to attack the Ming Dynasty.
In his plan, Wala went head-to-head with the main force of the Ming army, and took the opportunity to recruit Wu Liangha and attack Liaodong.
If we can break through Shanhaiguan, the capital will be within our grasp.
Even if we can't capture it, we can still make a lot of money by looting Liaodong.
Let Oala and the Ming army consume it. Even if they win first, they will be at the end of their war effort. No matter what the outcome is, it will be beneficial to themselves without any harm.
The two leaders have their own thoughts and preparations.
A scout hurriedly dismounted and came to the golden tent.
"What?"
Tuotuo Buhua was shocked when she heard the news.
Boyan is the leading warrior on the grassland, how could he be defeated so completely?
"What you said with your own eyes?"
The scout replied: "Back to the Great Khan, the news is absolutely true. The Grand Master has already summoned the army in advance and is preparing to go south!"
Tuotuo Buhua nodded. It seemed that he still underestimated the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.
After careful consideration, it is indeed a wise move to choose to attack Liaodong. Let the Oara tribe handle the frontal battlefield!
"In this case, we have to prepare. Send the order and all the ministries must gather troops. In one month, the troops will be sent to Liaodong!"
…………
Liaodong, Daning City.
Duoyan Guard Commander Al Qiman looked at the two secret letters in front of him and fell into deep contemplation.
A letter from the capital of the Ming Dynasty, a personal letter from the orthodox emperor.
Another letter came from Yingchang, Mobei, and was signed: Dayuan Khan Tuo Tuo Bu Hua.
This... makes it difficult to make a choice!
Once upon a time, Duoyanwei was a descendant of Genghis Khan's general Zhelmi, an authentic Mongolian.
But later, I found that it was not bad to follow the Ming Dynasty. During the period of peace, some tribesmen successfully rebelled with King Yan and received rewards, officially becoming subjects of the Ming Dynasty.
I thought that these people would be ostracized when they arrived in the Central Plains, but I didn't expect that they didn't care about blood at all. As long as you blend in, you will be treated equally regardless of whether you are Han or Mongolian.
In Duoyan Sanwei, there are also many Mongolian-Chinese intermarriages. After living together for a long time, there is no difference.
The door curtain was lifted, and a young man came in and said: "Father, the two messengers have been settled separately. You see..."
This person is Huadang, the only son of A'er Qiman, who serves as the commander of Duoyan Guard.
A'er Qiman raised his head, scratched his head again, and asked: "Hua Dang, what do you think... what should we do?"
Although Hua Dang is young, he has a very calm personality. On weekdays, A'er Qi Man is willing to discuss any major matters with his son.
"What did father think?"
Hua Dang was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but threw the question back.
A'erqi smiled helplessly and said, "Of course, neither party will be offended, but I'm afraid it won't be possible this time."
"Father is right. Not only can we not stay out of it this time, but it will even affect the future prospects of Duoyan's three guards. It is better to call the commanders of Taining and Fuyu over and discuss it together."
"Of course I have to invite them over, but as a father I still want to hear your opinion first."
Hua Dang sat opposite A'er Qiman and said, "In that case, let me express my opinion. If what I say is wrong, don't blame my father."
"But it doesn't matter!"
"Last year, Wala also raided the Xuanfu area of Datong. The Ming army retreated steadily, but the battle situation suddenly turned around in Tumubao. It is said that their emperor personally arranged the tactics. Later, the Ming Emperor personally led 3,000 people into the grassland.
In the hinterland, the people behind Oala were slaughtered to pieces. Today, the herdsmen on the grassland, whenever they hear the words "Ming Dynasty Orthodox Emperor", their children do not dare to cry."
Al Qiman nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"After the orthodox emperor returned to Beijing, he acted very decisively. He first arrested all the Shanxi merchants who were having fornications with the Walas. A month ago, he also uncovered all the Tatar spies who had been brought into the country from Liaodong. His son had a spy in his hands.
, luckily escaped and brought back a very important piece of information."
Al Qiman immediately asked: "What information?"
"The Ming army is making a new type of extremely powerful firearm!"
"Artillery?"
Huadang shook his head and said: "He only knows that the Ming Army's firearms testing base is in Xishan, but it is heavily guarded. He has tried various methods, but he has never been able to get close."
"Since he can't get close, how does he know that he is extremely powerful?"
"This person's neighbor has a son who works in the Xishan quarry. It is said that the firearms experimental base is near the quarry, and huge explosions can be heard every day."
"You mean that the Ming army deliberately blocked the news and hunted down Tatar spies because they were worried that information about new firearms would be leaked?"
"This is just one of the reasons, but in my son's opinion, this emperor is not an ordinary person, and he will definitely achieve great things in the future."
A'er Qiman said disapprovingly: "He is just a baby emperor. It is said that he loves the eunuch very much. It was the eunuch who fanned the flames when the emperor personally went to conquer the country. What can he do?"
"The eunuch's name is Wang Zhen. My father may not know it yet, but the baby emperor you mentioned had killed Wang Zhen a long time ago, and also searched all Wang Zhen's gang members. It is said that when the house was ransacked, thirty million taels of gold and silver were found.
!"
Ah'er Qiman took a breath of air. Thirty million taels is just how much the Ming Dynasty's treasury revenue is. This Wang Zhenye is really greedy!
"Hua Dang, is your information reliable? You just said that our current decision is related to the future of Duoyan Sanwei, so we must not be careless!"
"Father, don't worry, this information has been repeatedly verified by my son and is absolutely reliable!"
A'er Qiman pondered for a long time, but still couldn't make a decision. He frowned and said, "It's a pity that no one has seen the Ming army's mysterious firearms with their own eyes. I don't know how powerful it is..."
