eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 460 Army name Habayashi
Lu Zuyun fastened the horse, and stretched out his hand to grab a handful of fine beans beside him. When the horse's mouth was turned over, it was obvious that there was an unpleasant smell, but Lu Zuyun didn't feel disgusted at all, and instead gently patted his head.

"You idiot, you're also exhausted."

While talking, some footsteps came from outside the wall behind the buttocks of the stable.

Not long after, Ma Rong in military uniform appeared in his sight.

Lu Zuyun didn't dare to take it too seriously, and hurried forward to salute, "I have seen the general and the master."

The host he mentioned was a woman, and it was from this woman that Ma Rong went to war last year that he asked for Lu Zuyun, and because of Lu Zuyun's guide, the Ming army was able to find the tribe of Yongxiebu smoothly.

And he knows more about information like Jinong.

As for this woman, she is a widow, whose real name is Xie Rou. She has been running the Izumoji shop by herself for these years, doing business in cloth and animal fur, and also came into contact with some salt.

Ma Rong met her by chance, and the plot was still the old-fashioned hero saving the beauty, and then they became acquainted with each other after going back and forth.

When he saw Lu Zuyun at this time, Ma Rong didn't put on airs as a general, and said happily, "Get up quickly. I was still asking Xie Dong's family where you went."

The woman next to him raised her hand and said, "I knew the general was going back to Datong, so I specially called him back."

Lu Zuyun looked at Ma Rong at this time, it was different from last year.Ma Rong was promoted to commander because of his meritorious service in combat.

Moreover, his commander is stronger than ordinary commanders, because he still leads three thousand Mongolian soldiers!

This is different from other guards.

So Zhou Shangwen ordered him to lead an army alone, and gave him the ancient name "Habayashi". The whole army has a total of [-] elite soldiers.

Ma Rong can speak Mongolian, and he has the deepest relationship with Yibula. Many Mongolians know him, so it is most suitable to entrust him.

After all, the emperor personally asked for these 3000 people to come, and if it was not done properly, Zhou Shangwen would not be able to pay the job.

Moreover, it was Ma Rong who advocated subduing the Yongxiebu tribe at the beginning, and the Mongols trusted him the most.

When he returned to Datong this time, Ma Rong was ordered to handle the matter. Zhou Shangwen also admired him very much, so the generals, soldiers, weapons, and horses given to him were all high-quality.

Now Ma Rong has his eldest brother Ma Sheng, the Mongolian warrior Gabia who fought with Ma Sheng on the battlefield back then, and Luo Yi and Xiong Han who followed him before, a total of four fierce generals.

Lu Zuyun didn't know that he had just returned to Datong. He just felt that Ma Rong had matured a little bit based on his intuition.

"The general must have been promoted."

Ma Rong patted him on the shoulder, "It's also your credit, the court didn't reward you, I will never forget Brother Lu's kindness in guiding us."

"Don't dare. General, but if there is a need, I am willing to walk with the general with my head tied."

"really?"

"Since ancient times, heroes have been born from young people. Why would you not want to follow a hero like a general?"

Ma Rong heard too many words like the young hero, so he was not too proud, of course he smiled, "Brother Lu will not need to take risks in the future, there are Mongolians in our army."

Xie Dongjia asked: "General Ma still wants to know about the situation on the grassland. Zu Yun, tell me quickly."

Lu Zuyun's face was not relaxed, he looked at Xie Dong's house, and also at Ma Rong.

"During the Great Court Meeting, the Tatars should have known the news of the court's blockade of trade, so many of their people have come here in Datong recently. They want to buy more salt, iron and cloth before the official blockade. But with me The person who joined the joint is obviously more eager, and I guess it will be difficult for the Tatars to survive the winter this year."

The blockade was already being discussed during the court meeting, so it shouldn't be difficult for the Tatars to find out through spies' reports or various information.

But the problem is not here.

Ma Rong raised his eyebrows in thought, and said: "The imperial court's ban should be coming soon. The blockade policy has not been overturned during the great court meeting. I have been busy with the matter of Beizhili Zhuangtian in the past two or three months. When His Majesty reacts, it will definitely happen." Ask about this matter. So Xie Dongjia, first of all, don’t do that business of yours again. Although this will cause our news to be cut off, there is nothing we can do about it.”

"Will you fight?" Mr. Xie asked with a little worry.

"I don't know. But who really sits and waits to freeze and starve to death?"

If there is no trade, how can these grassland people survive without robbing?
Just having no salt can kill them.

The more Ma Rong thought about it, the more he felt that the situation was wrong.

He couldn't stay here any longer, he turned around and was about to go out, and a few soldiers also brought his horse to him.

However, the group of them hadn't taken a few steps when there was the sound of horseshoes.

So a soldier in military uniform got off his horse and knelt down on one knee, "General, General Zhou is calling urgently! Please return to the camp quickly, General!"

Ma Rong didn't hesitate any longer, and clamped the horse's belly with his legs, "Drive!"

General military mansion.

Zhou Shangwen had already received the imperial edict, deputy generals Ma Yihuai, Yan Xingkui, generals Sun Xilie, Chang Dacheng, Liu Jiangjie, and Xu Zhenan were all present.

The military order was extremely fast, and Ma Rong arrived soon after.

"The imperial court got the news that Dayan Khan will definitely invade the border this year. The only thing that cannot be determined is where and when he will choose to join the invaders this time. The emperor, the Military Aircraft Department and the Ministry of War all mean that the possibility of Datong is the least, but the imperial court gave The purpose of people giving money and food to horses is naturally not to make us just shrink back and look at Datong at this critical time.

To put it another way, I, Zhou Shangwen, hold an elite soldier in my hand, and I am not yet seventy or eighty years old, and I want to make meritorious deeds in my heart.This Dayan Khan took a detour, but it is not beautiful, how could this general fulfill him? "

Several generals passed on the orders of the Military Aircraft Department and the Ministry of War, and finally fell into the hands of Ma Rong.

Zhou Shangwen continued: "What do you think should be?"

"Of course it's a fight," Sun Xilie said.

The so-called fighting out means leading troops to the north and west, and while they send troops to the pass, the Ming army here can completely destroy his lair.

Although the Tatars grew up on horseback, they would not drag their families with them when they went out to fight. Women, children and various supplies must be left behind.

Without protection, these people are like a flock of sheep waiting to be slaughtered on the grassland.

It's not hard to imagine.

Ma Yihuai also nodded, "Looking at the will, the imperial court should have the same meaning."

Yulin, Ningxia, and Gansu to the west of Datong, Datong is too far away, and the news is passed and the horses arrive. This time is too long. When they arrive, they will not even be able to eat the dust raised by the Tatar cavalry.

"It's about besieging Wei and saving Zhao. Besides, we have been out of the Great Wall several times, and our strength has increased again this year. It must not be a problem."

Yan Xingkui asked a question, "What about right-wing Mongolia?"

……

……

Ma Rong listened to their discussion for a long time, but he didn't intervene much, because he thought it was not a good idea to encircle Wei and save Zhao.But the Military Aircraft Department and the Ministry of War seem to have the same meaning, and the lieutenants and generals under the chief military officer also think so.

They always felt that Dayan Khan would not leave his lair alone.

The truth is the same, but the problem lies in one, such an obvious situation, even a fool can imagine it, but Dayan Khan can't think of it?

That is a great Khan who aspires to unify Mongolia, and he is definitely not someone who knows how to do kung fu.

……

"Ma Rong?!"

"The end is here!"

"The two Wanhu tribes in the right-wing Mongolia, you will lead the Habayashi Army and Yibula to go together. Remember, whether they are willing to surrender or not, don't conflict with them. As long as they don't fight with Dayan Khan .”

"I will understand at the end."

"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Shangwen looked at him a little strangely.

Ma Rong was just a little uneasy, but he didn't think through many joints himself, "The end will be fine."

Ma Yihuai looked at his son with suspicion.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Shangwen didn't ask too much, "Okay, then let's prepare separately. I will reply to the court. Once the emperor approves, we will choose the opportunity to go out!"

The crowd dispersed.

By night.

Ma Yihuai went to find his son and found him standing in a daze looking into the distance.

"Today's discussion, you didn't say a word, what's wrong?"

Ma Rong turned around, "Father, you are here."

"Ask you again."

"Hmm... I'm thinking if my boy is Dayan Khan, how will I fight this battle? If it's my father, how will I fight this battle?"

Ma Yihuai frowned and worried, "It's hard to hit, and the rear will be weak if you move. Do you think our strategy is wrong?"

"It's not wrong, but Dayan Khan must want it. There is nothing in this world that can't be imagined. Once you think about it, there is always a way to deal with it. And..."

"And what?"

"Besides, a hero is not easily afraid. We all think that he will avoid the cavalry of Datong. But if I were Dayan Khan, I would definitely think that there must be a battle between the Tatars and Ming Dynasty. Since there is such a battle , then the Datong cavalry would not be able to hide if they wanted to hide. At the same time, there are two Wanhus on the right wing who are disobedient, and Yongxiebu has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, so it is not certain that the two Wanhus will also surrender. In that case..."

Ma Rong pursed his lips and said firmly, "Father, if it were me, I would fight Datong! Fight Datong desperately and desperately!"

Ma Yihuai didn't seem to be joking at all, "You didn't say it just now, because you thought Zongbing Zhou wouldn't believe it either."

"It's the imperial court that won't believe it."

"Then what's your reason? That's what you just said?"

"Not only. Dad, think about it carefully. If you don't fight Datong, if you enter the Central Plains from Yulin or Ningxia, the first defense you will face will be much stronger, because everyone knows that it is weak. Since it is weak, from the imperial court to Yang Gelao, it will definitely be strengthened. Guards, Dayan Khan must know this too. Secondly, let Datong's soldiers and horses run amok, he has to worry about where Datong's soldiers are going along the way, what if his retreat is blocked? This is not a big risk, but Very deadly.

In other words, if they fight Yulin or Ningxia, they will use more sacrifices to achieve smaller results and take certain risks. More importantly, there is no main force that can solve the Ming army, so they cannot deter the two right-wing Mongols. households, and with the implementation of the blockade policy, they are bound to be weaker and the Ming army stronger. In this way, they will eventually be wiped out one day.

Instead of this, why not fight Datong?Defeating is the same result as beating Yulin and Ningxia, and it is nothing more than the difference between early death and late death.But if they win, they will first eliminate the main force of Ming Dynasty, so that the two right-wing Mongol households will not dare to surrender to Ming Dynasty easily.Daming's strength cannot be restored as soon as possible, and they can continue to make mistakes next year and the year after.In this way, the dead end is alive! "

Ma Yihuai had his hips on his hips, and his scalp was numb when he said, "Impossible, absolutely impossible! Is he crazy, or are you crazy? You didn't say it, and if he did, Zongbing Zhou would probably scold you!"

"Father! That's not crazy. If he is really a grassland hero, he should choose like a child. As for saying that the enemy is stronger... this is not a reason to deter strong people."

In fact, it is quite risky at first thought, but that is the chance of life.

"But you also know that Zongbing Zhou can't take this class, and His Majesty won't accept this class either!"

Ma Yihuai raised his voice a little, which calmed down Ma Rong all of a sudden.

Yes, how did they tell the emperor?How to tell the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of the Manchu Dynasty?
Said Your Majesty, we are the strongest, but we are the most dangerous?

Thinking about it a little deeper, if Dayan Khan really avoided Datong, how would Zhou Shangwen explain it?

They are in Datong, but they are also in the court.
