Chapter 430: Set up the Chief Secretary of Daning, intending to mine outside the Great Wall
"What Your Majesty said is that the Hu people did not have enough understanding of our Ming Dynasty. They are afraid that they still think that our Ming Dynasty has no intention of attacking anymore. Like the Central Plains dynasty in the past, they lost their enterprising spirit and would only maintain their achievements after one or two hundred years. But in fact, the Ming Dynasty is in the revival world. It has sufficient soldiers and enough food, and piles of grain and weapons in the warehouse are waiting to be used to eliminate it."
The Privy Council envoy Xiong Tingbi took over Zhu Youxiao's words and said.
"Ma Shilong, Zhao Rujiao, Man Gui has led his cavalry to go out of the Miyun Guard first and march towards Hushiha. According to the information provided by the Jinyiwei, he attacked the place where Lindanbatul (Lindan Khan's name) Khan's tent. In this way, Lindanbatul will flee in a hurry, and his morale will inevitably fall sharply, and he will prepare for the next defeat of the Tatar tribes!"
Qin Liangyu also said.
"I guess Lin Danbatuer will be so angry that he began to suspect that someone around him had been bribed by us, but I'm afraid that even Feng Quan would be suspected by him."
Yuan Keli also replied at this time.
Xiong Tingbi nodded, and then said to Zhu Youxiao with some concern: "I am still worried about whether Ma Shilong and others will greedy for the Khan's tent after raiding the Chahar tribe (a tribe directly controlled by Lin Danhan) and intend to expand the results of the battle. However, Lin Danbatuer has more than 100,000 cavalry under his command. Once he recovers, it is easy to wipe out Ma Shilong and other cavalry. Although we have reminded Ma Shilong to withdraw quickly after the raid, there is no guarantee that Ma Shilong still fell into Lin Danbatuer's trap. After all, Lin Danbatuer can become the overlord of the grassland now, and it should not be underestimated."
After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded and asked Yuan Keli, Qin Liangyu and other commanders who were good at fighting: "What do you think of this?"
Yuan Keli said: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, you can stop transporting the food and grass for Ma Shilong and the others after half a month, so that Ma Shilong and the others will have to withdraw it."
"As soon as you do this, and I will issue another edict to Ma Shilong, so that he will not be really angry at that time and will chase him all the way to the vast sea! Our real purpose is to use the raid on Lindanbatul to restore Daningwei and mine coal mines in the Yuanbaoshan area that the Jinyiwei has already investigated, instead of capturing Talindanbatul alive. The Tatars are nomadic people, and they live in a place, and both men, women, young and old, they are good at riding and annihilation. It is very difficult to build a city and open a way to seize it step by step, and eventually assimilate these Tatars."
Because people in the Ming Dynasty called the eastern Mongolian tribes Tatars, Zhu Youxiao also followed the customs and called these eastern Mongolians Tatars.
The Daning mentioned by Zhu Youxiao was the Daning Wei set up in the Ming Dynasty during the Hongwu period. It is located in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia today. It was later abandoned during the Yongle period.
The vast sea is in the Gobi desert to the north.
Zhu Youxiao was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, where the Tatars were located. Before that, he asked the Jinyiwei to train some Jinyiwei lieutenants who were good at identifying minerals, and then entered various places outside the border to investigate various minerals as valuable Ming Dynasty territory in the future.
Zhu Youxiao knew that the Yuanbaoshan area of Daningwei in later generations was a large open-pit coal mine, so he asked Jinyiwei to check the specific location of the coal mine in this area in advance, and intended to reset the Daningwei and develop this mineral when Ma Shilong and others raid the Tatar this time.
After all, this place is close to the capital, and it can provide more convenient energy for the capital's steam engine manufacturing base.
In order to restore the Daning Wei and restore the territory of the Ming Dynasty to its peak, or even surpass its peak, Zhu Youxiao issued a special order to set up the Daning General Secretary, and classified the former Beiping Xingdu Division into the Daning General Secretary.
...
at this time.
Around the whole house.
A large number of Ming Iron Cavalry in red cloth armor began to appear on the horizon in the south, spreading like gorgeous fireworks, and swallowing the grassland wildly.
These are all cavalry led by Ma Shilong, Zhao Rujiao and Man Gui, with the purpose of raiding the Tatar Chahar tribe who came here in order to prepare to plunder the Ming Dynasty.
Ma Shilong was the prime minister of this raid and personally led 10,000 border cavalry.
At the same time, the two generals, Zhao Rujiao and Man Gui, also led 10,000 each, with a total of 30,000 cavalry.
The 30,000 cavalry they led were all elite troops of the Ming border army today, and it was the result of Zhu Youxiao's active expansion and training since he ascended the throne.
At this moment, these Ming cavalry were holding fine steel-forged sabers and cavalry flintlock rifles, and charged towards the Chahar tribe, which was temporarily stationed in Mantaer.
The speed was very fast, and almost in a blink of an eye, it completely submerged the Tatar tents in this area.
Because he wanted to plunder the Ming Dynasty at any time, he left Baicheng early and arrived at Lin Danhan, who originally belonged to the territory of the Ming Dynasty's eastern Dusi, and his khan's tent were full at this time.
Therefore, after listening to Sommer's report, Lin Danhan quickly felt the earth shaking like thunder.
Lin Danhan didn't have time to get angry with Zhu Youxiao, and had to make a quick decision. He ordered Somo, who had just come to inform him of the news, "Take people to block these Ming cavalry, and when we leave, we will rush toward Datong, and look like we are escaping along the way, throwing armor and scimitars on the way to abdicate his troops."
As he said that, Lin Danhan was so tired that the two of them ordered: "Let's withdraw immediately!"
Then, Lin Danhan picked up his scimitar, threw the curtain out, and immediately took the war horse from his own soldiers, then rode the war horse and headed west, not even caring about his wife and children's supplies.
The Mongols lived nomadic life, so their families were brought together, and they were basically concentrated in the base camp behind their army, which is where Lin Danhan’s own tent was located.
At this time, the Ming cavalry had already chopped and killed the Tatars on the periphery of the Khan Treasure. The blade flew like a shining star, jumping up and down, and in an instant, he chopped a Tatar to the ground.
Because the Ming cavalry appeared too quickly, most of these Tatars were still resting in the tents, especially the Tatar nobles, and only a small number of ordinary Tatars patrolling outside, the Tatar cavalry could not immediately organize counterattacks, and most of them were hacked and killed by the raided Ming cavalry.
The sabers used by the Ming cavalry were made of alloy steel made of all steel made of crucible steelmaking. In addition, Song Yingxing promoted the wicker steel stir-frying technique to maintain the carbon content of the alloy steel at a more suitable standard for chopping. Then, because the iron ore used for the garrison manufacturing of the Ming Dynasty were all good iron ore purchased from overseas, these sabers were extremely sharp. Basically, if one knife was chopped down, a large gap would appear immediately, and the cavalry would constantly bleed and strong. They even like to chop off the horse's head or head with a knife.
Therefore, when the Ming cavalry with horse hooves flew forward, countless Tatar heads or horse heads fell into the fiery red torrent like rain.
But shortly after Lin Danhan left, Somo organized more than 5,000 Mongolian cavalry to fight Ma Shilong.
Seeing this, Ma Shilong and other Ming cavalry immediately stopped killing the Mongols around, gathered together and rushed towards the Mongolian cavalry.
As soon as they approached, these Ming cavalrymen carried their cavalry and used flintlock rifles to shoot at these Mongolian cavalry.
