Chapter 133 Be A Qualified Oriole 1

In Shuobei in March, the snow has not completely melted, and the green grass has sprouted, and patches of tender green cover the grassland.

The herds that have been starving for the winter are driven by herdsmen, digging through the last layer of snow and chasing the freshest green grass.

The wind is still cold, but people's mood is as clear as the sky after the clouds are removed.

Spring has come earlier this year than in previous years.

Everything is revived and the grass is lush.

Such a good year not only made the frontier residents happy, they, under the leadership of the elders, offered sacrifices to the ancestors and prayed for a good harvest.The herdsmen on the grassland also slaughtered the fattest lambs to thank the Changshengtian for their care.

The long tune echoes in the grassland, carrying endless hope for a rich life.

The wilderness, the blue sky, and the flocks of cattle and sheep scattered among the green grass, blend into the most beautiful picture on the grassland.

The Tatar cavalry transporting food had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery around them, and the soldiers' keen intuition told them that danger was approaching.

Every time the food was transported, there would be sneak attacks by the Oirats. Although they failed once, the Tatar cavalry still did not dare to relax their vigilance.

If you underestimate the enemy, the most likely end is death.

"Speed ​​up!" Qianhu Boketimur ran back and forth in the line, waving his whip, making sure that every grain cart was guarded by cavalry.

They have been followed since they left Kaipingwei.

Like a deer being targeted by a pack of wolves, it has a premonition of danger, but does not know where the enemy is. Once it relaxes a little, its neck will be bitten off by the oncoming hunter.

This feeling made Boketimur very irritable, he raised his voice, yelled at his subordinates, and even whipped his whip in a hurry.

"hurry up!"

The horse's hooves stepped on the snow and green grass, splashing the wet mud with slush, and the Tatar driving the cart raised his long whip and made a crisp sound.

No one complained about Boktimur's irascibility. At this moment, the thoughts in their hearts were the same as Boktimur's, hurry up, faster!

After passing Changshui Haizi, the team will be safe.

After Chagan Nuoer, Khan's large army will respond, no matter who is planning this batch of food, it is guaranteed that he will come and go!

The sound of hooves became more and more urgent.

The anxious look on Boketimur's face became more and more intense.

The danger is closer.

He can be sure!

Chagan Nuoer was right in front of him, the sound of arrows piercing through the air suddenly came, and several Tatar cavalry fell off their horses at the end of the team.

"do not stop!"

Boketimur roared loudly, and ordered the deputy leader of Qianhu to continue to move forward. He led half of the Tatar cavalry to stay, and turned his horse's head to face the sneak attacking enemy, buying time for the grain carriage.

The new wind picked up again, and the team following the Tatar cavalry finally showed their figures.

Left lapel, leather armor, helmet inlaid with raw edges.

Oirats, and Wuliangha.

Boketimur had a premonition that he might die here, but he still had to hold his saber tightly and fight the enemy.

Not just for the name of the Tatar warriors, but also for the survival of the tribe.

When wolves meet, even if they die, they must guard the territory and defend their dignity.

To retreat, to flee without fighting, is the act of cowards and weaklings!

There were no trumpets, and no drums.

More than a thousand war horses paced slowly, and the knight on the horse drew out a long knife, the blade rubbed against the scabbard, and the sound was extremely ear-piercing.

The sound of horseshoes seemed to be knocking on the ear, one after another, expanding infinitely.

The sky was still clear, but what surrounded Boketimur and the others was the cloud of death.

The war horse began to accelerate, from a leisurely stroll to a flying arrow, from far to near, from fast to slow, it was only a blink of an eye.

The horseshoes are like thunder, and they are like a roaring flood.

Boketimur clenched his saber tightly, so hard that the veins on the back of his hand popped.

It was a battle of great disparity, but he could not back down.Unable to protect the food, Khan will not let him go, let alone his tribe.

Therefore, he can only fight to the death until he dies.

"kill!"

The two teams raised their long sabers at the same time, and the horses slammed into one place.

The scraping sound of blades pierced the eardrums, and the killing tore apart the last tranquility on the grassland.

Blood spattered, and the soldier fell to the ground hard.

The wailing of the war horse echoed on the grassland, but Boketimur, who was lying in a pool of blood, never responded again.

The death of five hundred Tatar cavalry did not stop Wala and Uliangha.Regardless of cleaning the battlefield, he immediately chased the food team ahead.

During the battle between the Mongols, the Jurchen cavalry led by Hehachu did not step forward at all, but lurked aside. When the battle was over and the winning side continued to chase the most lucrative spoils, they jumped off their horses and searched for the weapons left on the battlefield. and the gold and silver of the Tartar cavalry.

"Leader, don't you want to catch up?"

"Don't chase." Haha raised Boketimur's saber, wiped off the blood on the blade, then tore off the scabbard from him, and hung it on his horse's back with great care.

"But……"

"It's useless to catch up. It's impossible to distribute food to us. These weapons are enough." Haha turned on his horse, "Dead horses, cut off the parts that can be taken away. Give the horse meat to the tribe, weapons and others whoever finds it will count.”

"Thank you leader!"

The Jurchens dutifully cleaned the battlefield, and when they left, there were already vultures and crows circling in the sky.

Zhu Gaoxu also did not participate in the previous battles. With Wala and Wuliangha as the vanguard, there was no need for him to take the initiative to attack.

Seeing the Jurchen riding away on horseback, Zhu Gaoxu slowly narrowed his eyes.

Really, as Bo Xingning said, we should not underestimate these savage Jurchens dressed in animal skins.

"Your Highness?"

"Nothing." Zhu Gaoxu put away his exposed thoughts, pulled the rein, "move on."

"Yes!"

According to the plan, Zhu Gaoxu did not go to grab food, but to help the Tatars.The best result is to save one or two survivors from Wala and send them directly to Guilichi.Guilichi wanted to save face, so he could only negotiate with Mahamu face to face.

As for the food, it has been robbed by "Wala". If the Tatars want it, they also want to find Wala.

According to Xing Ningbo's words, Gui Lichi was able to bear it before because he didn't suffer too much loss.If I endure it this time, I am afraid that Khan's position will be changed.

The food was robbed, the cavalry was killed, and the Han King of Ming Dynasty witnessed it with his own eyes. This was not only related to practical interests, but also related to the majesty of the Khan, and even the face of all Tatar tribe warriors.

There are only three things, not to mention that the number of times Wala came to find fault is far more than three times.

Guilichi can really endure like a turtle, and his Tatar high-ranking officials and tribal leaders will not follow orders.

Without the blood of the Golden Family, it has always been Gui Lichi's short feet.Alutai and others have been holding on to this short leg, and they are still unconvinced by Guili, always thinking about pulling him off the horse.

The conflict between Khan Guilichi and Alutai, the Privy Council of the Taibao, was not a secret at all on the grassland.

Guilichi wanted to keep the Khan position, and Arutai wanted to support the Khan with the blood of the Jin family to take the position. The Tatars have never been monolithic.The strongest fortress is often broken from the inside.This is the reason why Meng Qinghe dared to pat his chest to Emperor Yong Le to guarantee that the plan would be a success.

At the same time, I also want to thank Mahamu, the leader of Wala, for his cooperation and the friendship of the two leaders of Wuliangha.

As for the cheap ones, haha, in short, Hanwang can use this to raise his vigilance against the Jurchen, and it is worthy of the appearance fee he gave.

On the grassland, the Tatar grain transport team was eventually overtaken by the Wala and Uliangha cavalry.

The two sides fought fiercely, and the result was naturally that the Tatar cavalry was defeated.

Just when the last few Tatar cavalry were surrounded and were about to be cut off from their horses, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly descended from the sky, leading the frontier cavalry in scarlet looped jackets, charged into the battlefield and hacked and killed them.

Wala was beaten away, and he did not forget to bring several carts of grain before leaving.

Wuliangha also ran away, taking away more food than Wala.

The surviving Tatar cavalry looked at Zhu Gaoxu, who was like the god of war, with dull eyes, as if they still didn't understand what happened.

It wasn't until Zhu Gaoxu sent someone to question him that he was finally convinced that they were safe.

Seeing that there was not much food left, several people looked worried at the same time.Even if he was alive, he would not be able to explain to Khan when he went back.But it is really embarrassing for them to pick up a knife and wipe their necks.

To die in battle is an honor, so what is it to die like this, to commit suicide in fear of crime?

Seeing the expressions of the Tatars clearly, Zhu Gaoxu called for the interpreter accompanying the army, and gave him such and such and such and such instructions.

"Do you understand?"

The interpreter nodded, jumped off his horse, and walked towards the sad-faced Tatar cavalry with the most sincere smile.

Want to live?

Want to live better?

Do you want to live a well-off life surrounded by beautiful women?

If you think about it, just nod your head.With a nod, your wishes will come true...

Loyalty question?How do you say this, Guili Chi Khan on the other side has surrendered to me as a minister to the emperor, how can there be any disloyalty?

Since the Hongwu period, there have been countless tribes attached to it. Do you know what kind of affluent life these tribes live?

The precedent is right in front of you, if you miss this village, you will lose this store.

What's more, the one who intercepted and killed you was indeed Wala, and you all told the truth, so don't hesitate.

Wuliangha?It's definitely Wala pretending to be a way of alienation... Appearance?If you don't look for something similar, what is it called pretending?Wala is really treacherous!

"According to the report, it should be revenge for your comrades... Even if you don't follow His Highness, you will definitely be reused by Guilichi Khan with this great achievement..."

Zhu Gaoxu was riding on the horse, looking at the Tatar cavalry who had been fooled so that his eyes were staring, he turned his head silently.

It is said that the person in front of him was dug out by Xing Ningbo from the Beijing branch, and he was in charge of clerical work in the department before.A honest and honest appearance, changing clothes is no different from a simple farmer.

Who would have thought that it turned out to be such a talented person.

When you go back, you must discuss it with Uncle Xingning and transfer people to your side, after all, talents are rare.As for poaching fees, we are all friends, so it should be better to discuss, right?

Otherwise, go to the emperor and ask for another favor for Uncle Xingning?

Just when Zhu Gaoxu was rubbing his chin and planning to poach the corner of Meng Qinghe's wall, Shen Xuan had already led the frontier army to catch up with the Wala cavalry from another road.

Spotted the target, confirmed it was correct, immediately chased after it, hacked and killed it, and left with the grain cart after killing.Since the dirty water was going to be poured on Wala, naturally no one could be left alive.

The job was well done, but the only regret was that Lord Shen was not able to kill enough, and his evil spirit lingered for a long time, and his personal soldiers did not dare to come within half a meter.

Wu Liangha also failed to pick a bargain, happily took the food home, and just got off the horse when he met the servant who delivered the decree.Unfortunately, there is also a servant of the Ministry of Rites who was born in the incident.

Seeing the marked grain carts, Dan Baonu, the leader of Wuliangha, Harwu's expression became stiff.

The evidence is overwhelming, what else is there to say?

According to the temperament of the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, such behaviors really damage the internal unity, so you must read a book.Thanks to the persuasion of Ji Ying, the military commander of the military governor's mansion who was traveling with him, he managed to suppress his anger.

However, the looted food must be handed over to the public.

The leader of Wuliangha didn't say anything, after all, they didn't care about this matter.If there is no mark on the car, you can still get away with it. Who would have thought that these grain carts are all produced by the Daning Miscellaneous Manufacturing Bureau, and there are special marks engraved on the shafts. Usually, you don’t pay much attention to it. If you look carefully, you will find the difference immediately.

Although the food was taken away and the work was wasted, it was not all bad news.

The internal servant passed on the emperor's edict to reset the three guards of Duoyan, Taining, and Fuyu, with Wuliangha's leader, leader, and Quchang as the commanders, Tongzhi, Qianshi, thousands of households, hundreds of households, and governors.

Ji Ying, the governor of the rear army, revealed privately that the emperor ordered the restoration of the three guards, and at the same time set up Wuzhe Zuowei to the east of the three guards, the slave guards in the extreme north, and the Jianzhou guard and Mao Lian guard in the capital near Liaodong. , all of them are commanded by the leaders of Jurchen tribes, commanding Tongzhi, Qianshi, and thousands of households.

"The royal seal, crown, belt and clothes have been given." Ji Ying said, "I have an old relationship with the leader, so I would like to inform the leader so that the leader can make preparations."

Dan Baonu thanked Ji Ying, and didn't care about the food that was taken away, so he immediately dragged Harwu to discuss, and sent someone to deliver letters to the leaders of Wuliangha who had good relations with him as quickly as possible.

The emperor set up guards in Liaodong one after another, appointing Hahachu and others as leaders, which is to reuse the rhythm of the wild women and girls.

As Daming's first foreign aid, he has to guard against it!

The food can be grabbed again after being taken away, the most important thing is to keep the current position!

Zhu Gaoxu sent someone to escort the Tatar cavalry to meet Guilichi, and Shen Xuan led the troops back to Beijing from Kaipingwei.The food brought back was left at the frontier guards. These were part of the military food that Meng Qinghe was ordered to raise.

After returning to Beijing, Shen Houye was approached by Uncle Meng before he had time to wash up.

As soon as the door was closed, there were a few blunt noises in the room, and it quickly returned to silence.The whole afternoon, the two of them did not leave the room for half a step.

Why did Uncle Meng come to the door in such a hurry?

Heaven knows, Earth knows, Lord Shen Hou knows.

In March of the second year of Yongle in Jiashen, the Tatar Khan Guilichi suddenly summoned the tribal leaders to discuss matters in the king's tent.

Immediately, the Tatars assembled [-] troops and approached Oala.

When Mahamu, the leader of Wala, got the news, he unexpectedly did not fight. Instead, he pulled out his camp, packed up his burden, and ran away overnight.

Guilichi made up his mind to fight Mahamu, but he didn't expect this kid to play this hand with him.

Although Guilichi would do the same when encountering a large army of the Ming army, it did not prevent him from taking the opportunity to mock Mahamu wantonly.

"Such a coward should wear a fox tail!"

Mahamu ran away, but the herdsmen in Wala couldn't all run with him.

Guilichi joined forces with Alutai's army to rush into the territory of Wala, burning, killing and looting.

Grab livestock, people, and pastures.

Burn everything that cannot be taken away.

When it came to threshing grain and grass in the Ming Dynasty, Tatar and Wala never relented, and it was the same when dealing with each other.

Perhaps because he realized that he didn't want Tatar to continue to be proud, when Guilichi planned to take over most of Oara's territory, Mahamu gave him a carbine back.The organized Oirat army displayed extremely strong combat effectiveness, and severely taught the Tatar army who went deep into the enemy's territory.

If you win the battle, you will naturally have revenge and revenge.The herds and population that were robbed were all taken back.How many tents were burned, burn them all back!

Since then, Mahamu is no longer passively beaten, and his strength is not as good as Guilichi, so he plays sneak attacks.Facts have proved that this tactic is quite effective.Mahamu was very grateful to the advisers who advised him.As everyone knows, this wise man has another identity in private, Daming Jinyiwei.

You come and I go, the two sides played a real fire.

It should be the best time of the year, but there are no herds on the grassland, only the smoke of gunpowder rising from everywhere.

From time to time, scattered rangers and tribes appeared on the border, and the border fortress immediately raised its vigilance.

When plowing in spring, you can always see patrolling frontier soldiers in the fields, a team of ten people, led by a small flag, armed with bows, arrows, waist knives, and two more carrying firecrackers.Once the situation is found to be wrong, immediately sound the whistle, fire the firecrackers, and hear the warning when approaching the pier bunker, immediately light the wolf smoke and serve with bows and arrows.

This method was first used by Daning in military training, and soon spread to the entire border.

From Liaodong, Kaiping, Xuanfu, Datong, from east to west, the beacon towers lined up, and the wandering grassland riders couldn't find any chance to start.

When the Tatars and Wala were having a lively fight, Wuliangha didn't take the opportunity to join in the fun, and the savage Jurchens who had emerged in Liaodong attracted most of their attention.

It's not because of how strong Jurchen is, but the attitude of the emperor, which has to make them feel a little jealous of Jurchen.

The pasture is gone, and the request for a salary increase is temporarily forgotten.

Conscientiously patrolling the frontier, expressing his loyalty to the emperor every few days, saying that he is always fighting on the front line of the frontier and trying his best to win the praise of the emperor, which has become an important part of the life of the leader of Wuliangha.

Everything is just to prove to the emperor of Ming Dynasty that they are the best foreign aid!

Savage Jurchen, where to cool off, where to rest.

How about it?Take the opportunity to clean up!

It's not just Wu Liangha who is not pleasing to the eye, but also the leader of the savage Jurchen who has not been granted the title.

Envious of the current life of the Hu Li Gai Department, envious of being personally interviewed by King Zhao, and envious of the fact that the Hu Li Gai Department has a fixed booth in the Guangning Mutual Market.The various conveniences enjoyed by the Huligai Department and the Hulawen Department in the transaction made everyone extremely jealous.

The leaders of the Jurchen who had no tribute before organized teams one after another. If one tribe could not do it, three or five gathered together, brought horses and ginseng fur from the forest, and went straight to Beijing.

There are too many people coming, and the Huitong hall can't fit.

No one complained, and no one left. Instead, they took the initiative to tell the reception officials that there are not enough rooms, and they can still live if they are squeezed.

The conditions almost don't matter, the most important thing is to get Meng Shaoqing's approval slip and get benefits in the mutual market transactions.

"This is the benefit." Meng Qinghe, dressed in red and white clothes, sat in the yamen of Honglu Temple, picked up his teacup, and took a sip, "Let them wait for now until the emperor's edict comes down."

"Yes."

After everything was done, Meng Qinghe put down his teacup and immediately grinned.

The wound on the lower lip is still not healed, drinking hot tea is really terrible.

Is it easy for him to maintain his majesty in front of his subordinates?Be sure to make it clear to the second generation of a certain Hou that biting people at every turn is not conducive to sustainable development, and this habit must be changed!

Ever since, Uncle Meng went straight to the military governor's mansion after get off work.

As for the outcome of the negotiations with Lord Shen Hou?

In short, Uncle Meng didn't dare touch hot tea again for a whole month.
