Chapter 460 The truth

Author: There are dragons in Nanshan

That night, Jing Yuan and Yu Qian held their rice bowls and chopsticks, and gestured on the map.

"Can you know that my soldiers from the Great Ming Dynasty are coming and all fled?"

Yu Qian pondered: "All the elites of Tatars, Japanese, and Jurchens were dispatched, not like they were escaping, they must have other plans!"

Jing Yuan chuckled and said, "Don't hell, he's just two thousand people. Can you still secretly visit Chen Cang and counterattack me?"

Yu Qian didn't say anything, his brows frowned on his face, and he was thinking quickly in his heart.

Since the Ming Dynasty killed the Ola, drove away the Tatars, and replaced the three guards of Duoyan to the Onon River, it was like closing the gate to the north, and people outside could not enter, and people inside could not go out.

Of course, for the Ming Dynasty, it was not that I couldn’t get out, but that I didn’t want to get out.

It’s like a rich man living in a gorgeous mansion, with wine, meat, and hot pits. Why should he pay attention to the starving and frozen beggars outside?

What's more, these beggars are enemies of themselves, and they have fought each other, and countless casualties have been killed or injured.

So for five years, the Ming Dynasty had no grasp of the whereabouts of the beggars outside the sect, and there was no spy.

反正你敢来我就揍你,你若不来,爱死哪就死哪去,只要别死我家门口,我才懒得理会!

Who would have thought that the Tatars did not give up in the past five years, but were carefully making arrangements.

They contacted the Jurchens who were also expelled, the defeated Daming of Japan, and the barbarians of Yasha Kingdom in the bitter and cold land. A group of mobs gathered together and even started playing military tactics!

At this time, Jing Yuan suddenly asked, "It's strange. How could he be rekindled when he had already killed all the Jurchens?"

In that battle five years ago, Jing Yuan was ordered to destroy the Jurchens, but at that time, the total population of the three guards in Jianzhou was only 10,000, so he didn't take it seriously at all.

Yu Qian said leisurely: "The Ming Hui Dian records that in Jianzhou, the Jurchens in Haixi were savage Jurchens, and they went to the Central Plains far away and paid tribute. The Jurchens mentioned by Kameda just now should be savage Jurchens."

The Jurchens of the Ming Dynasty originated from the side branch of the Wanyan clan of the Jin Dynasty. They were originally distributed in the Nuergandusi. There were three major forces, namely the Jianzhou Jurchen, the Haixi Jurchen and the Savage Jurchen.

The Jianzhou Jurchens have been destroyed by Jing Yuan's own hands, and the Haixi Jurchens are also implicated. The only one who still has combat power is the savage Jurchen power.

Jing Yuan was puzzled and asked, "Why are there still savages?"

"It's not a savage, it's a branch of the Jurchens."

Yu Qian shook his head slowly and explained: "The reason why they are called savages is mainly because these people mainly live in deep mountains and dense forests, live in grass houses, eat hunting and fishing, do not comb, wear straight clothes, use fish skin in summer, use dog skin in cold, do not eat grains, only dogs in six animals..."

Jing Yuan waved his hand and said, "Okay, OK, Lord Yu, you don't have to say this. I just want to know, how powerful are these people?"

"It's nothing more than some barbarian tribes. No matter how strong the combat power is, they don't have guns, cannons, armor, and it's not worth mentioning."

"Then...what's going on with the Japanese?"

"The various forces in Japan are fighting in a melee. If the losers can't stay in the local area, they will target overseas. This is the case with Japanese pirates on the southeast coast in the past few years."

"It is at least profitable for Japanese pirates to plunder the coastal people and merchant ships on the sea. This gross profit ran here and was starved and frozen. What are you trying to do?"

Yu Qian thoughtfully said, "You are right. This matter is very strange. Don't guess it. Let's report to the court!"

"How do you report it? Just say that you find that the other party is in a wrong situation?"

"Of course it's true!"

"But we haven't figured out where the three-horse coalition forces of the Tatars, Japanese and Jurchens went. If the court asks, wouldn't it be unfavorable for us?"

In Jing Yuan's mind, it was easy to deal with the remnants of the Tatars with the combat power of the Ming army, but he did not expect that he could not even understand the movements of the main force.

Moreover, it also involved the Jurchens and Japanese people, and I don’t know what conspiracy was brewing.

Yu Qian thought about it and said, "It's better to play it as it is. I always feel that something is wrong. These people must have a plan."

Jing Yuan replied: "Since that's the case, I will send someone back to Mohewei to send a telegram."

Yu Qian nodded, but continued to stare at the map, his eyebrows were still tightly locked together, and he couldn't help but wonder where the Tatars went?

From the perspective of the battle situation, the battlefields captured by the first battle are all pretexts, the elderly, weak, sick and disabled left by Tuotuobuhua, in order to mislead the main force of the Ming army.

The real main forces of Tatar, including the Japanese and Jurgen, have left this island and taken a boat ride.

Where did these two thousand people go...

From the map, the island is land on the north, west and east sides, and the sea on the south side.

If you walk north, you can reach Yasha Kingdom, where there are all uncivilized wild places, and there is no need to be such trouble, you can pass by at any time.

Towards the east is the Liugui Kingdom, with Beishanwei guarding, and its number is roughly equivalent to that of the Tatar coalition. However, the equipment strength of the two is very different. There is no reason to use eggs to hit the stones and use the final force to fight with Beishanwei head-on.

Besides, if you want to fight with Beishanwei, you can use Yasha Kingdom, so why do you have to take a boat?

Since both the north and the east sides are eliminated, only the west side is left.

However, it is the most unlikely to go west because it is the Mohe Guard guarded by Jingyuan.

Over the years, the court has been guarding against the Tatar tribe, equipped the Mohe Guard with a large number of excellent weapons and equipment, and even connected the telegrams to a dedicated line. It can be said that if Tutuobuhua dared to show up, he would be bombarded into a slag by cannons.

Going southward will be the Liaodong region, which will gradually approach the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, making it even more impossible.

They were even unable to get ashore at all. The garrison ships along the Ming army were equipped with light artillery, so it was completely easy to kill these ships.

This is not OK, that is not right, where are people going...

Yu Qian drew a circle on the map. Logically speaking, Tuotuobuhua's range of activities can only be limited to this circle, but no trace has been found at present.

The wind came from outside the door, and Jing Yuan stepped in and said, "I have sent people back to Mohewei. The telegram will arrive at the capital by tomorrow night at the latest."

Yu Qian was staring at the map, suddenly raised his head and asked, "How many defenders are there in Mohe Guard?"

Jing Yuan said in surprise: "Not less than two thousand, what's wrong?"

The Mohe Guards had a full 5,600 people. However, there was an unwritten rule in the Ming Dynasty that all garrisons would not be full, and some places would be vacant. Therefore, the actual gang of Mohe Guards was less than 5,000. This time, the expedition brought out two thousand, and there were still one thousand logistics soldiers, and there were only less than 2,000 people left at the garrison.

Yu Qian used a charcoal pen to draw a line on the map, and his two brows frowned even more violently and were almost standing up.

"From here, heading south along the coastline, just staggering the route we march on land!"

Jing Yuan looked at the map and said in confusion: "You mean, Tuotuobubuhua went to Mohewei?"

Then, he waved his hand hard and said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Yu Qian asked back: "Why is it impossible?"

Jing Yuan laughed and said, "Sir Yu, aren't you joking? Even though there are only less than 2,000 people left in Mohewei, the city is solid and there are artillery guns. Tuotuobububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububububu

Yu Qian suddenly said, "Who said they are going to attack the city?"

"Um?"

Jing Yuan frowned and asked, "Sir Yu, what does this mean?"

"I'll ask you, what is the function of Mohewei?"

"Of course, it is to guard the northern border and prevent the Tatar tribe from making a comeback."

"With the strength of our army, how sure is the Tatar tribe to capture Mobeiwei?"

When Jing Yuan heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter and said, "One percent... no, half of Chengdu is not, almost zero!"

"good!"

Yu Qian nodded and said slowly: "But you have to be clear that their target has never been Mobeiwei."

Jing Yuan put away the smile on his face and said, "Sir Yu, I can't understand what you said."

Yu Qian pointed his fingers on the map twice and said, "Mobeiwei is a wall that blocks the Tatars from going south. Their target is not a wall, but behind the wall!"

Jing Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, so what?"

"Who said that this wall must be broken, wouldn't they go around?"

"impossible!"

Jing Yuan shook his head repeatedly and said, "I personally supervised and arranged the defenses of Mohe Guard and surrounding areas. It is impossible for the Tatars to bypass the defenses on the front line!"

"You're talking about the usual!"

Yu Qian looked solemn and said, "How much defensive power you have left after going to war this time?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jing Yuan's expression suddenly changed!

He immediately bent down and stared at the map. There was a red line in it that Yu Qian had just drawn.

"You mean, the Tatars took advantage of the gap when we were dispatching troops to the front line and bypassed the Mohewei's defense line from the sea?"

Yu Qian nodded and said, "I have seen your defense map. There should have been a post here, but before going to war, you will withdraw the troops here, right?"

Jing Yuan had realized that the situation was not good, so he looked at Yu Qian's finger position and couldn't speak for a long time.

That's right, the guards of this outpost were withdrawn to the city by him.

When the army ahead went on a war, the city was insufficient to defend, so they drew people from various outposts, and even the entire outposts would be withdrawn. This is normal.

Especially for this outpost, the main defense target is at sea, which seems even more irrelevant.

Bang!

Jing Yuan punched the table and said angrily: "Tutuobuhua, this old fox, takes advantage of the empty guards in the rear of our army, and plays with his mother's secret secret travel to Chen Cang?"
