Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 643 The Mongolian who refuses to work for me, I don't recognize him as a brother

"Brothers, since this is the point."

"Then I will trust everyone."

"However, if I find out, whoever wants to betray me and the Qing Dynasty, don't blame me for not recognizing him as a brother."

What Huang Taiji said made these leaders nod their heads uncontrollably.

The fate of that slaughtered tribe is in sight, who would dare not be Huang Taiji's brother.

The meaning of Huang Taiji is also very obvious: whoever provides us with cattle, sheep, war horses and soldiers, and is willing to sell liver and blood to the Qing Dynasty, is a good brother of the Qing Dynasty, otherwise, the Qing Dynasty will not recognize a brother like you.

When Huang Taiji kept gathering troops here, Cao Wenzhao also knew what was going on there.

Although Balanadu has absorbed a large number of small tribes, the total number of soldiers and horses is still only 5, of which the Ming army is only [-], while the number of soldiers and horses gathered by Huang Taiji is already [-], which is no match for others on the grassland.

How many miles of barbed wire can you lay out?
With a total force of 5 troops, Cao Wenzhao was a bit stretched. He had to keep Balanadu safe and prepare to fight against Huang Taiji, so he could only mobilize more than 3 troops.

With such a limited force, Cao Wenzhao had to think about reinforcements. He needed reinforcements, and he needed the elite Ming army.

On the one hand, Cao Wenzhao mobilized troops and horses to Dongba Lian Nadu, and then prepared to go out. On the other hand, Cao Wenzhao wrote a letter ordering flying horses to send them to the capital for eight hundred miles.

The emergency military report from Balanadu was quickly sent to the capital by the flying cavalry, and it was sent directly to the cabinet without going through the Ministry of War.

After Zhang Haogu opened the military newspaper, he frowned when he saw the information described by Cao Wenzhao: "One hundred thousand, one hundred thousand."

After pondering for a moment, Zhang Haogu said: "Tai Chong, follow this pavilion to see the emperor."

Huang Zongxi said: "The students know."

There is no time to waste right now, Zhang Haogu brought Huang Zongxi to the Hall of Martial Ying to look for Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, the battle on the grassland is about to begin."

Zhu Youxiao also frowned after reading the military newspaper: "The camp covers tens of miles, and there are estimated to be [-] troops?!"

"His Huang Taiji can actually pull out a hundred thousand soldiers?!"

"How many soldiers and horses can be mobilized in Balanadu right now?"

Zhang Haogu said: "Thirty thousand, forty thousand."

Zhu Youxiao was silent for a moment, and asked, "Master, what do you mean?"

Zhang Haogu said: "Deploy troops from the three major battalions."

"Right now, only the army is out."

However, Wei Guangwei and Huang Liji, who rushed over after receiving the news, strongly retorted: "No, Your Majesty, no!"

"At present, the capital is only [-] new troops. If too many troops are transferred, the capital will be unstable."

Zhang Haogu turned around and said angrily: "If Huang Taiji is allowed to defeat Cao Wenzhao, then the grassland will let Huang Taiji gallop!"

"When the time comes, there will be millions of herdsmen in Chahar and Balina, and there will be no more than 20 soldiers in the Horqin Grassland and Khalkha Grassland, but 30 or [-] soldiers!"

"Could it be that Daming has to wait until then to rely on the Great Wall to resist Huang Taiji?"

"Send troops now and defeat Huang Taiji, and he can be blocked back to Liaodong."

Wei Guangwei asked back: "Yuanfu, how many troops should be mobilized?"

"At present, how many soldiers and horses can the court use?"

Zhang Haogu looked silent: "There are [-] new troops on the three sides, [-] new troops in the south of the Yangtze River, and [-] new troops in the capital. The imperial court has enough soldiers and horses."

"Right now, we only need to order Fang Yun to dispatch [-] troops from the Jiangnan Camp to the capital, and the capital will be as stable as Mount Tai, and the imperial court will send [-] troops to Cao Wenzhao."

Seeing Zhu Youxiao's move, Huang Liji quickly said: "Your Majesty, it will take a long time to temporarily transfer the troops from Jiangnan and Nanjing camps into Gyeonggi. At this time, the imperial court only has [-] soldiers and horses, which is too dangerous."

Zhu Youxiao was silent for a moment, then said, "Master, do as you say."

"The cabinet immediately ordered Fang Yun to send [-] soldiers from the Fifth Nanjing Army Battalion to Beijing."

"At the same time, send an order to Zhou Yuji to transfer the fifth military battalion, and the firearms battalion to leave the fortress. Don't waste time."

Zhang Haogu bowed and saluted: "I accept the order."

After receiving the order, Zhou Yuji immediately beat the drums and gathered the generals, and led [-] cavalry from the Fifth Army Battalion and [-] infantry from the Firearms Battalion to Dongba Liannadu.

The [-] Ming troops marched out of the fortress with banners and banners, attracting people in the capital to watch and discuss endlessly. Where did the war start again? The capital camp has been mobilized!
When the [-] Ming troops led by Zhou Yuji were on their way, Cao Wenzhao had mobilized [-] soldiers and horses to enter the Chahar Grassland. He was not a character who was waiting to die. No matter whether the imperial court sent reinforcements or not, he would fight this battle.

Huang Taiji's scout horses knew that Cao Wenzhao sent troops, and after learning that the scale was only 3 people and that they lacked firearms, they heaved a long sigh of relief. One hundred thousand beat [-]. Isn't this three times the force, isn't it my advantage?
So Huang Taiji set off with his [-] troops without any hesitation. In the past few days, people were eating horse chews at the foot of Saihan Mountain. Now, of course it's time to send troops.

If it wasn't for the purpose of weakening these tribes and making it easier for the Qing Dynasty to control the grassland in the future, he would have sent troops a long time ago. Why did he wait at the foot of Saihan Mountain for a few days?

Isn't it just to let these tribes be empty and lose their vitality?

Now that these tribes have no food, cattle and sheep, if they want to survive, they have to rely on the Qing Dynasty and fight bravely. Otherwise, there is no use of new cattle, sheep and pastures, and these tribes will have to die!
Huang Taiji finally set off, and the Mongolian headmen and herdsmen also burst into tears. If Huang Taiji didn't set off again, they really couldn't survive and would take risks.

But now that the war is about to start, they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

When Huang Taiji led an army of [-] to Chahanhot, Cao Wenzhao had already set up a camp here, and Huang Taiji also set up a camp to let the army rest when he saw this.

The place where the royal court of the Great Khan of Monan Mongolia is located turned out to be a place where the Ming army and the Manchus fought, which made the Chahar tribe still in Chahanhot feel bad.

But right now they didn't dare to move around, they could only watch the Ming army and the Manchus set up their battles, but no matter who wins or loses, it is certain that this Chahanhot is no longer the royal court of the Mongolian Khan.

On the second day of camping, Cao Wenzhao took up his position and had a collision with Huang Taiji.

Cao Wenzhao sent [-] troops, and Huang Taiji sent [-] troops. Outside Chahanhaote, the cannons of the two sides roared, the guns were fired at once, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

After a fierce battle that lasted for half a day, Cao Wenzhao and Huang Taiji each withdrew their troops and prepared to fight again in the future.

After returning to the camp, Huang Taiji's face was a little gloomy. Today he used [-] soldiers and horses, but he failed to defeat the [-] Ming army on the opposite side. The Ming army's firearms were extremely sharp, and the explosive rockets were completely shot. He has lost the position of the cavalry to charge, but his own cannon is not as good as others. This leaves him with [-] soldiers and horses, but he can't fight.

Huang Taiji in the big tent looked at Dorgon and Duoduo, and said, "Fourteenth brother, fifteenth brother, have you seen the sharpness of the Ming army's firearms?"

"My Qing Dynasty wants to run across the grasslands. In the future, it must have a sharp firearms battalion to compete with the Ming army."

Duoduo was annoyed: "Brother Emperor, because of the sharpness of firearms, Minggou dare not fight with swords and swords of my Qing warriors, otherwise I will definitely take the head of Minggou!"

Dorgon said: "Brother Emperor, tomorrow we will prepare more shield vehicles and shields, just to consume the firearms of the Ming army. They are in the grasslands and not in the Great Wall. It is inconvenient to replenish gunpowder and cannons. When their firearms are almost consumed, We're good to go."

Huang Taiji was very satisfied with Dorgon's idea: "Well, let the Mongols take the lead tomorrow."

Dorgon was a little worried: "These Mongolian cavalry have already taken the lead today and suffered heavy losses, and they still have to provide us with food and grass. If they are allowed to take the lead again, will they be dissatisfied?"

Huang Taiji sneered: "I just want to consume their strength, otherwise how will the Qing Dynasty control the grassland in the future?"

"I treat them as brothers, and they will serve me to death. Brothers who cannot serve the Qing Dynasty, I will not recognize them!"

"Let the tribes that have already entered the battle today rest, and a new batch will go up tomorrow. I will consume these tribes one by one."

The next day, Huang Taiji invited Cao Wenzhao to fight again. Huang Taiji asked the Mongolian soldiers to push the shield carts and charge with their shields, while the Eight Banners soldiers stayed behind to control the artillery and firearms.

However, Cao Wenzhao still used the general's cannon and the leopards' arrows to shoot at the charging positions of the Mongolian soldiers. With the advantage of firearms, the Mongolian soldiers would suffer heavy casualties every step forward.

This battle lasted for another half a day, and the two sides called for gold to withdraw their troops again.

Twice in a row, the Mongols were sent to die in front, and the Manchus watched from behind. The Mongols were already dissatisfied. Those who sold their livers and blood to provide cattle, sheep and food, now they have to be cannon fodder. It is the strength of the Mongolian leaders. If they continue to lose, how much right do they have to speak?
Facing the complaints from the Mongol leaders, Huang Taiji also vowed to try again tomorrow. As long as the Ming army's situation is confirmed, the next battle will be the Eight Banners' disciples, and let the brothers on the grassland see the demeanor of the Eight Banners' disciples!
After receiving such a promise, these Mongolian leaders left reluctantly.

Duoduo watched these Mongolian leaders leave with disdain, and then asked: "Brother Huang, why did you promise them to let us all take the lead?"

Dorgon said: "Fifth Brother, Brother Huang's move has deep meaning."

"Tomorrow will consume another day, and these Mongolian tribes will be consumed almost all of them, and the firearms of the Ming army will be almost used up. Our army will fight again in the next day, and the Ming army will lose the advantage of firearms. 3 people are in front of my Qing Dynasty. It is a sheep waiting to be slaughtered, if the Baqi disciples charge up to kill them, can they still stop us?"

Huang Taiji smiled and said: "Fourteenth brother is right, this is what I plan to do!"

"And when the time comes, it will be our Qing Dynasty that will defeat the Ming army and defeat the Ming Dynasty, not them. The Qing Dynasty will take half of the cattle and sheep herders in the pasture, and they dare not say anything."

Huang Taiji had his own wishful thinking here, while Cao Wenzhao's atmosphere here was a bit heavy.

"How many firearms have we expended?"

Listening to Cao Wenzhao's question, the lieutenant general replied: "There is only one last volley left for the leopards to shoot arrows. The general's cannon has less than [-]% of the cannon, and the tiger crouching cannon and the mother and child cannon have less than [-]% of the cannon. The biggest consumption is the gunpowder, and now the gunpowder is only enough for two days."

Li Zhao was a little worried: "The gunpowder is enough for two days, but the firearms are only enough for one day. If Huang Taiji comes to consume it for a while tomorrow, we will have no usable firearms."

Cao Wenzhao looked very calm: "Without firearms, we can't fight?"

"Instead of firearms, we have swords."

"Originally, we were just mud-legged, inferior people in the eyes of those scholars."

"The emperor and Yuanfu trust us, let us lead the army to fight on the battlefield, and give us high officials and generous salaries."

"Now is the time to reimburse the imperial court. Even if 3 people are killed, the corpses must be nailed here. Huang Taiji cannot be allowed to move forward!"

All the generals clasped their fists and said in unison: "Here!"

On the third day, Huang Taiji really repeated the old routine again, with shield chariots and shield soldiers in front, and all Mongolian soldiers. Cao Wenzhao was determined to fight Huang Taiji here, and he didn't care about the consumption of firearms. Cannons, mother and child cannons, and a group of leopards running horizontally and arrows fired together, and a large number of firearms blasted pieces of flames among the charging Mongolian soldiers.

The sound of rumbling explosions, rising gunpowder smoke, blood and mud all over the sky, and the flickering flames made the Mongolian soldiers unable to lift their heads up.

The leaders of the various Mongolian tribes watched their tribesmen being consumed on the battlefield like this. Every time the flames flickered and every time the flames rose, a large number of tribesmen were killed or injured. The traces, the traces formed by the rolling of war horses, and the devastated pastures that exposed a large amount of soil are the traces of the tragic battlefield, and the traces of their clansmen being continuously consumed.

But even so, Manchu still didn't move!

Going back this day, even though they have obtained Huang Taiji's promise that the Manchus will fight tomorrow, the Mongols still have a deep hatred for Huang Taiji in their hearts!
For three days in a row, the power of the Mongols was consumed for three days in a row, and Huang Taiji's intentions were already obvious!

It was at the foot of Saihan Mountain before that they ate up their cattle, sheep and food, forcing their tribal people to go hungry, and now they want to consume the young and strong in the tribe, so what is left of this tribe?
Are you sick or old?
Moreover, for three consecutive days, the 10 troops and the 3 Ming army fought against each other for three days. Huang Taiji was still unable to break through the Ming army's line, and [-] people could not beat [-]. These Mongolian leaders have already had a deep feeling for Huang Taiji Doubt: Can Huang Taiji really defeat Daming?
If it can be fought, why are 10 people forced to stay where they are by 3 people?

In the past three days, the Mongols have shed all their blood!
The three consecutive days of charge, the overwhelming rockets of the Ming army, and the seemingly endless shells left a deep impression on the Mongols. The powerful firepower of the Ming army directly awakened the memories in the bones of these Mongols.

It's not the great Mongol empire that swept Eurasia invincible, but the deep memory of being chased and beaten five times by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di!
These Mongolian heads look at me and I look at you, all of them are silent.

Right now, [-] Ming troops can hold back a [-]-man army. What if the Ming army goes out on a large scale?

Don't forget that among the [-] Ming troops on the opposite side, only [-] are actually Han Chinese, and the remaining [-] are Mongols!

The Mongolian leaders were silent, but Huang Taiji was overjoyed.

"Today, I saw the firepower of the Ming army. They have indeed consumed almost all the gunpowder. They only fired two rounds of those rockets, and the artillery was also intermittent. Tomorrow, their cannons may not be able to fire!"

"Tomorrow is the time for the decisive battle between me and Cao Wenzhao!"

"I want to eat up these [-] Ming troops, and let the people of the world see how powerful the Qing Dynasty is!"

As soon as Duoduo heard this, he immediately called for a fight: "Brother Emperor, my younger brother is willing to be the vanguard!"

Dorgon also said: "Brother Emperor, my ministers also invite you to fight."

Huang Taiji laughed loudly: "Fourteenth Brother, Fifteenth Brother, you will have a chance to fight tomorrow. At that time, I will show my might in the grasslands and deserts. Once the Ming army is defeated by us, they will not be invincible heavenly soldiers. We The Qing Dynasty will quickly establish its prestige on the grassland."

"At that time, Chahar, Horqin, and Khalkha Grasslands will all become subjects of my Qing Dynasty, and my Qing Dynasty will soar into the sky!"

Dorgon couldn't help but said: "Brother Huang Shengming!"

Huang Taiji smiled triumphantly: "It's also thanks to Mr. Wolong, it's really a blessing for me to have Mr. Wolong in my Qing Dynasty!"

Huang Taiji was triumphantly preparing to win tomorrow's battle, while the Mongolian leaders were sighing and full of resentment. They felt that they would be used as cannon fodder by Huang Taiji tomorrow!

In Cao Wenzhao's camp, there is already a bit of mourning, but the soldiers are still determined, obviously ready to die.

As Cao Wenzhao said, the imperial court treats everyone well, the monthly salary is paid in full, and the family has no worries about food, clothing and land. Naturally, if they want to die for the imperial court, they will still be heroes when they die, and the imperial court will not treat them badly. family.

With the awareness that they will take away a few Manchus when they die, the soldiers will recharge their batteries one by one after eating and drinking enough to prepare for tomorrow's bloody battle.

3 people, half of which are infantry, against the [-] Manchu and Mongolian allied forces, obviously no one is sure that they can win, but the soldiers who pull two backs have this confidence!

However, just when Cao Wenzhao began to write his last words to the imperial court, and was about to bring the flying cavalry back to Gyeonggi, the scouts hurried into the big tent: "General, reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived!"

Cao Wenzhao was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help getting up: "What did you say?"

The scout panted heavily: "Reinforcements, reinforcements from the imperial court have arrived! We met General Zhou's vanguard."

Cao Wenzhao quickly said, "Let him in quickly!"

Soon an officer from the Fifth Army Battalion came in and knelt down on one knee: "The last general has seen General Cao."

Seeing that it was an old subordinate of the Fifth Army Battalion, Cao Wenzhao asked in surprise, "Where are the imperial reinforcements?"

The officer replied: "After receiving your military report, the emperor and Yuanfu ordered the dispatch of troops. We marched on the grassland for two days to reach Baliannadu, and then we spent another day to get here."

"Right now, General Zhou will lead the fifth military battalion, and the [-] reinforcements from the Firearms Battalion are less than five miles away from here!"

Five Army Battalions, [-] reinforcements from the Firearms Battalion!

Cao Wenzhao let out a long sigh of relief as he slumped heavily on the commander-in-chief position. With [-] reinforcements, and the new army from the Beijing camp, he now has [-] soldiers in his hands, and [-] soldiers are enough for him to win this battle!

"Thank God for protecting me, Daming!"
