One of Wang Xian's few good qualities is to make plans before taking action. He did not make a plan to attack Guangling County hastily, but he already had such a plan before he went to Guangling County incognito.
Got an idea.
Being able to see further than the average person is one of Wang Xian's few good qualities. Although it was still the most difficult period at that time, he still seriously thought about what would happen if the task of capturing Guangling fell on the young army.
.So during the trip to Guangling County, he and his companions carefully observed the terrain and defenses of Guangling, and later repeatedly asked General Song and Liu Zijin for details. Therefore, he knew the situation in Guangling very well.
, but we also know it in detail.
He found that Guangling County is located in deep mountains and ridges, and there are several dangerous passes that can serve as barriers. Although it is not said that one man can block the pass, ten thousand people can't open it, but only a small number of troops can resist the attack of the army, but they do nothing.
Fake. In this case, it would be too expensive to mobilize a large army for siege, and it would be difficult to achieve results. If the war is delayed, many variables will inevitably arise... If nothing else, at least the King of Jin will not be able to pass the test...
Therefore, a surprise attack seems risky, but it is the only way out. The more detailed the preparations, the smaller the risk of the battle. This is where Wang Xian's ability will be tested, because the local officials in Shanxi are extremely uncooperative, and
On the surface, the King of Jin was still causing trouble. Under such circumstances, it was really difficult to complete the preparations.
However, Wang Xian still overcame the difficulties and successfully completed the preparations. Only the people around him know the hard work behind this. For example, Wang Xian customized 10,000 pairs of skis for the army's skiing. After fully listening to the hunters' opinions, Wang Xian
All are covered with animal skins, because this is conducive to mountain climbing. However, the total distance from Taiyuan to Guangling is more than 700 miles. In such bad weather, if you rely solely on skiing, you will definitely not be able to reach Guangling, as Xue Huan said.
Most of them died of frostbite. And if the march time exceeds three days, I am afraid that the news will be spread to Guangling from Taiyuan, and the raid will be a death sentence...
Therefore, how to get the army to Guangling faster and more safely became a problem that Wang Xian had to face. If it could not be solved, a surprise attack would be out of the question. Fortunately, Wang Xian was a man with ideas, and he thought of Ma.
Pulling a sled. Although he has never ridden on this thing in this life, when he traveled to the Northeast in his previous life, he did ride on this kind of snowy speed car... Even though he is now a human being, he still clearly remembers that feeling, Mara
As he kept speeding forward, he could hardly even shout. It was so exciting that when he thought of some fast means of transportation, he immediately thought of this thing.
However, this kind of common means of transportation outside the customs is not common in Shanxi. Moreover, the King of Jin wants to hinder them on the surface. In private, it is okay to add some animal skins to their skis, but sending three thousand horses to pull the sled is fine.
It was impossible to hide this major event from the King of Han in the capital, so Zhu Jiyan could not agree to it anyway. However, Wang Xian did not expect him to agree. The reason why he made this request was just to pave the way for his real purpose...
When he heard Wang Xian's second request, Eunuch Liang was dumbfounded, but Wang Xian lowered his face and said: "It's just a small effort. The prince doesn't help at all, so how can he be considered a help?"
"It's a piece of cake, but once this kind of thing is revealed, how do you explain it to the emperor and the king of Han?" Eunuch Liang said with a bitter smile: "It is a big taboo to let the Mongols enter the country."
Wang Xian's unfettered brain actually wanted the Mongolians to drive for him. But this was a last resort. First, it was impossible to keep such a large-scale convoy secret in Shanxi. He asked the Mongolians in Hetao to prepare, but
It will not attract attention. Secondly, horse-drawn sleds are faster and more difficult to control than dog sleds. If it is not possible, the car will be destroyed and people will be killed. Therefore, it is necessary to find the best driver and the most suitable carriage to ensure the safety of the march. Think about it.
Go, he thought of the Mongols inside... In the past few decades, the Mongols have been driven to the bitter cold places of Liaodong and Mobei, and horse-drawn sleighs are a necessary life skill for them.
"What's the big deal?" Wang Xian said indifferently: "It sounds like the border security is very tight.
"This..." Eunuch Liang was speechless for a moment. Wang Xian was telling the truth. Although the Ming Dynasty stationed hundreds of thousands of troops on the border, and the barriers were tight and the castles were connected, the border was too vast to cover everything, so it could only fortify key areas.
, those unimportant areas only have outposts and patrols, but in such bad weather, they are just some deaf ears - decorations.
In desperation, Eunuch Liang had to go back to report to Prince Ming. After weighing the matter, Prince Jin still agreed to Wang Xian's conditions...but he had to make sure that the Mongols would not mess around. After all, although the Mongols have wolf nature, they can
If it is not changed, if a wolf is introduced into the house, the trouble will be big.
Of course Wang Xian would not lead a wolf into the house. The reason why he dared to have this idea was because he had an army that he could mobilize and a Mongolian tribe that he could completely trust - the Borjigit tribe who now settled in Tumochuan, Hetao.
Wang Xian and the Borjigit tribe crossed the desert and returned south, creating a miracle that was both evocative and evocative. It caused a great shock in the Ming Dynasty. Many literati also wrote poems and poems praising this event. Although Zhu Di was very fond of Wang Xian.
He treated him coldly, but attached great importance to the Borzigit tribe who returned with him... Although this Borzigit tribe is not the direct lineage of the Meng Yuan Emperor, they are also genuine descendants of Genghis Khan. Now the whole family has abandoned their homeland and returned.
It satisfies Zhu Di's vanity of unifying the world, and it indeed plays a very important role in winning the hearts of all the subordinates.
To this end, Zhu Di issued an edict to the Borzigit Tribe, conferring the title of Princess Heshun on its leader Baoyinqiqige. He also erected a monument in the capital and on the territory given to the Borzigit Tribe to commemorate this important event.
historical events.
Zhu Di was determined to support a force that was friendly to the Ming Dynasty to achieve the goal of ruling the Tatars with Tatars. Therefore, in addition to these vanities, he also generously allocated special funds to purchase livestock, fur clothing, tea, grain and rice to help the already impoverished Borzigit people.
, helped them overcome the difficulties. He also gave them the Tumochuan grassland that had been forbidden to the Mongols as pasture, so that they could live and work in peace and contentment.
Zhu Di's generous move naturally gained the gratitude of the Borzigit people, and also made the status of the Borzigit tribe suddenly stand out among the surrounding tribes. Many weak and helpless tribes attached themselves one after another.
In less than half a year, eight tribes have already come to surrender. The tribe has 20,000 people and 5,000 soldiers, and its power is far greater than before.
It can be seen that Nadaliba is really a talent. His visionary and courageous decisions have brought about the prosperity of the Borzigit tribe today.
When Wang Xian was crossing the Great Gobi, he listened to the men of the Borzigit tribe telling about their experience of driving horse-drawn sleds for hunting in winter, and knew that they were qualified for this task. Now the Borzigit tribe also has the ability to send out
With so many carriages and horses, after obtaining the tacit consent of the King of Jin to let them enter, the only question is whether the Borzigit people, who are living a comfortable life now, are willing to offend the Ming Dynasty once for their benefactor.
This worry is not unnecessary. After all, the Borzigit people’s holy family is in full swing now and they no longer need him to take care of them. At this time, the relationship between Han and Mongolia is more wary than harmonious. Mongolians who trespass into the interior will be arrested
Officials... not to mention such a large-scale infiltration, if the officials and soldiers make dumplings, they will never be polite to them. Even if the officials did not find out at the time, they will always know about it afterwards, and you cannot escape the charge of evil intentions.
...Even if the emperor does not pursue the case, he will have a bad impression of his bold and reckless behavior, which will cast a shadow on Borzigit's future.
So after Wang Xian wrote the letter, he had been a little worried, fearing that Baoyin would delay or refuse, and his plan for a surprise attack would be ruined. But a few days ago, he received Baoyin's reply. When he
With a slight excitement, I opened the envelope and saw only one word on the letter——
Wang Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw this. This was really in line with Baoyin's neat character. However, with his increasingly suspicious temperament, it wasn't until he saw De Lengtai that he completely let go of his worries...
"Delengtai, have you come to your house?" Wang Xian laughed loudly and supported the Mongolian young man who saluted him, but he couldn't help but ask about Baoyin.
"Come, come." Delengtai said with a strange expression: "Actually, Bieji shouldn't have come, but she had to come."
"Yes, she is now the princess of my Ming Dynasty." Wang Xianshen said with approval: "It's hard to explain if something goes wrong."
"That's not what I meant..." Delengtai scratched his head so hard that he pushed his leather hat askew. He really didn't know how to say anything, so he could only say in a low voice: "You will know when you see Bieji, I will go and inform you right away."
Farewell." After saying that, he seemed to be running away.
"This kid, what's going on?" Wang Xian was a little confused and didn't have time to think carefully, so he ordered Xue Huan: "Let the children board the car, three people per car, firstly, pay attention to keeping warm, and secondly, pay attention to
It’s safe. The horse-drawn sled is not very stable and can overturn if you don’t get it right.”
"Yeah." Xue Huan had already blindly trusted Wang Xian, but now he was even more impressed. He really couldn't imagine that Wang Xian actually hid such a convoy on the Hutuo River. However, he still said with some regret:
"If the connection point had been closer, many brothers would not have frozen to death."
"We can't go any further south, otherwise we won't be able to keep it secret." Wang Xian sighed and said, "Don't wait any longer. It's very cold on the sled. The best thing to do is to arrive early."
"Yes." Xue Huan responded and loudly ordered the Chinese soldiers to take off their skis and get on the sleigh in groups of three.
Over there, Wang Xian also wanted to take the bus, and beside him stood Gu Xiaolian, who was dressed as a woman. However, the Borzigit men wearing fur jackets, fur hats, and leather gloves all smiled.
The carriage drove away, but no one was willing to take him. This made Wang Xian, who had boasted to Gu Xiaolian about his high status in their hearts, feel very embarrassed.
Just as he was smiling bitterly, a horse-drawn sleigh stopped steadily in front of the two of them. When Wang Xian saw the driver, he immediately shouted in surprise: "Is Baoyin really you?"
