King Luhuang of the Ming Dynasty: My father, Ming Taizu

Chapter 207 Battle of Scouts!
in history.

Togu Si Timur was hiding in the sea of ​​​​fishing.

He felt much relieved when he heard that Nahachu had been destroyed by the Ming Dynasty.

Plus the weather is bitterly cold.

The entire Mobei Yuanting was unprepared, and was attacked by Lan Yu's elite cavalry, and the family was successfully stolen.

In the end, a large number of enemy troops were captured, but only Togu Si Timur escaped!

And this is also a pity for Ming Dynasty!
Because Togu Si Timur did not live long after he escaped.

Instead, he met the feuding Ye Sudie'er.

The ancestor of Yesudier was the famous Alibu brother.

He was the one who failed in the battle with Kublai Khan to become the Great Khan of Mongolia.

In the next hundred years.

Ali Buge's descendants had been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, until later, they caught the opportunity.

So Yesudier killed Togu Si Timur and his eldest son Tianbaonu.

After that, Yuanting completely fell into division and civil strife.

On the grassland, one voice can no longer speak.

Yesudier proclaimed himself the Great Khan of Mongolia, but was not recognized by all the tribes in the grassland.

After all, although he is a descendant of the Golden Family, he is not a descendant of Kublai Khan.

Therefore, his position as Great Khan was only recognized by the tribe of Mongolia, which was later known as Oara.

Eastern Mongolia gradually split into Tatars in the subsequent struggle.

It can be said.

The death of Togusi Timur was the starting point for the entire Mongolian grassland to fall into division and civil strife.

After his death, Zhu Yuanzhang completely lost interest in conquering the grassland.

After all, there are tribes everywhere, and there is no one to take the lead.

I don’t even know who to hit.

It can only be beaten by whoever is strong!
In this way, the hatred between the two parties will only become deeper and deeper, and in the end, it will be even less possible to conquer.

So, here, Zhu Tan is looking for an opportunity.

A chance to capture Togush Timur alive!
As long as we can catch him, we can integrate all the forces in the grassland and finally realize the great cause of conquering the grassland!

Just like what Huang Taiji did to Lin Danhan.

Just high-level intermarriage!
Let Zhu Laoer marry the unsightly one.

It’s nice to look at, so it doesn’t hurt to feel aggrieved.

Zhu Tan couldn't help but think about it.

on the grassland.

at this time.

The large group of Mongolian cavalry is marching quickly.

The number is staggering and overwhelming.

A rough estimate is that there are more than 200,000!
Each Mongol cavalryman had two interchangeable horses.

All in all, that’s 600,000 horses!
When these cavalry passed through the grassland, they were extremely loud.

The tribes passing by along the way saw such power, and many old people shed tears of excitement!

"Genghis Khan! It's Genghis Khan, the eagle of our Mongols, the pride of the Mongols! Is he back?"

There was an old man in the tribe who stretched out his two skinny arms and spread them flat, as if embracing the sky.

Looking at the blue sky, white clouds, and the scorching sun, my face was full of excitement.

at this time.

The center of the army.

The bright yellow dragon flag is flying.

Under the dragon flag.

Today's Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Tuogu Si Timur, rides a tall horse.

He was followed by a group of personal guards.

Besides.

Beside him, there was an old man who was in good spirits and riding a tall horse, showing no sign of decay.

This person is Wu Qingchen, the former leader of the Shanxi merchants who disappeared for a long time in the Ming Dynasty!

Now, he has officially received the award from Yuanting and became the King of Guiyi!
in history.

This title is not very auspicious.

Because its predecessor was Shi Siming, who initiated the Anshi Rebellion. In the end, this person did not have a good death and died at the hands of his own son.

However, Togu Si Timur insisted on granting Wu Qingchen this title.

Wu Qingchen had no choice but to accept it!
The Great Yuan Emperor in front of him is a version with residual health.

But he is also an emperor after all.

Once he gains power, his domineering and cold-blooded attitude cannot be resisted.

Tuogu Si Timur was riding on a horse and smiled at Wu Qingchen: "King Guiyi, where do you think those Ming troops should fight now?"

Wu Qingchen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I don't know anything about military affairs. It's hard to guess!"

Tuogu Si Timur smiled and said: "I guess they are about the same speed as us! They should be able to reach Jinshan within two or three days!"

Wu Qingchen smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise! Since you say so, it must be a certainty!"

When Togu Si Timur heard Wu Qingchen's praise, he couldn't help but laugh even though he knew he didn't mean it.

This refreshing feeling was something he had rarely experienced before.

That's how people are.

Even if you know that people's good words are full of hypocrisy, many times.

You just eat this!

I just like hearing these false and kind words!

After all, no matter how hypocritical these words are, they still express an attitude.

That is surrender to your power!

Togu Si Timur smiled and said: "Actually, it's not difficult to guess! Your people are very capable! They can actually bring the list of commanders of the Ming army from the interior!
Song Guogong Feng Sheng, Wuding Hou Guo Ying, Yongchang Hou Lanyu!

These three people are the commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army respectively!
Among them, except Guo Ying, Feng Sheng and Lan Yu are all famous generals!
Especially Sapphire!
Even on the grassland, I have heard about his achievements for a long time!
What this person is best at is raiding!
Therefore, along the way, the Ming army's surprise attack will definitely be very fast!

Moreover, since I have already discussed cooperation with Naha, he will definitely retain his strength and wait to join forces with me to deal with the Ming Dynasty!

Therefore, he will probably withdraw all the defenses from south to north so that he can gather all the troops and wait for me to join them!

I guess that these Ming troops will only be delayed on the road for three or two days at most!
Therefore, the marching speed is almost the same as mine! "

Wu Qingchen heard this and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Togu Si Timur was all smiles.

Even though Wu Qingchen's words to him as "Your Majesty's Holy Ming" almost made his ears tingle, but he didn't know why, but he still liked listening to it!

"King Guiyi, as long as we can defeat the Ming army this time, the next step is for an army of 500,000 yuan to go south! By then, it is not impossible to break through the nine sides and restore the capital!

When the time comes, I will definitely let your Shanxi merchants become my imperial merchants!
I can even do without taxes and people!

As long as you Shanxi merchants are responsible for the management!

I trust your ability!
At that time, we Mongolians will share the world with you Shanxi merchants! Wouldn't it be a pleasure?

hehe"

When Wu Qingchen heard Tuogu Si Timur's words, he couldn't help but secretly shake his head.

The majesty in front of him was also in a state of confusion.

Before, I was afraid of the Ming army. I even kept thinking that as long as I could repel the Ming army's attack, I could be like the late emperor Yuan Zhaozong and guard the last bit of foundation and pride of the Mongols.

Now I actually have the dream of restoring Dadu.

When the Ming Dynasty was first established, it was so weak. The Yuan army had more than two million soldiers and countless civil servants and generals. In the end, they were all defeated and the Ming army almost destroyed the country. If the ambush of Yuan Zhaozong and Wang Baobao had not been effective in the desperate situation and Xu Da was defeated, Yuanting would have been wiped out that year.

Today's Ming Dynasty is unified at home and abroad, the world is at home, and the country is prosperous!
It’s more than enough to supply a small Northern Expedition!

If Zhu Yuanzhang was willing, it would be easy to send two more Northern Expedition armies of the same size!
With your Yuanting's little wealth, why should you fight with others?
not to mention.

Nowadays, the equipment of the Ming army is no longer comparable to that of the Yuan army!

There are armors, firearms, sophisticated crossbows, swords and guns!
And what about the Yuan army?

The Yuan army at the end of the Yuan Dynasty had artillery, armor, and well-made weapons.

Now, without the support of the Central Plains productivity, the Yuan army was instantly beaten back to its original shape!

Coupled with more than ten years of border blockade.

The equipment of the Yuan army was simply shabby!
Even the 200,000 troops gathered now can't even get together 5,000 pieces of armor!
If Shanxi merchants hadn't supported them with ten thousand pairs of armor.

The equipment of the Yuan army will probably be even shabbier!

This is the status quo!
This is the difference!
The Ming Dynasty has a population of more than 60 million, while the grassland only has a few million people!

With such a large population and so many resources, as long as some are used to develop the military, how can these nomadic tribes on the frontiers have the military strength to confront the Central Plains dynasty?
As long as the imperial court does not become extremely corrupt and embark on the path of self-destruction, those nomadic tribes will not have the slightest chance of invading the Central Plains.

And the current Hongwu Dynasty obviously has nothing to do with corruption.

Of course, cruelty is still very cruel.

But because of Zhu Yuanzhang's great talent and strategy, even Wu Qingchen, who hated him deeply, had to submit!

Think of this.

Wu Qingchen sighed deeply in his heart.

Yuan Ting, whose strength has fallen to the bottom, and Daming, whose strength is at its peak
If he hadn't had no choice, if he hadn't been eager for revenge, he would never have chosen to be like Yuanting, who is now in decline.

at this time.

The large group of cavalry is advancing rapidly.

along the way.

From time to time, the laughter of the soldiers and the yells of the leader could be heard.

There was a bit of uneasiness in the chaos.

The setting sun shed its afterglow, and the sunlight was bright red, shining on everyone, as if it had painted the last elite Yuan troops on the grassland with a touch of blood.
Outside Jinshan City.

Fifty miles away.

Three Lu Wang guards, Zhao An, Wang Danian, and Xu Zhizheng, were riding horses quickly through the grassland.

All three of them were carrying muskets.

There is a telescope on his waist.

Besides.

They also wore fine armor.

Wear a helmet.

There is a long knife on his waist, which looks very powerful.

These three people were the scouts arranged by King Lu Wei.

The three of them were all the best in horsemanship among King Lu's guards. At the same time, they were highly praised by many sergeants of King Lu's guards for their combat prowess and reconnaissance abilities. Only then were they selected as scouts after voting.

Zhao An raised his telescope and looked into the distance with a frown.

Suddenly startled.

"There are enemies!"

The words fell.

The other two people also hurriedly picked up their binoculars and looked in the direction of Zhao An.

"Damn! These people look like grassland cavalry at first glance! His Royal Highness King Lu is right! Mobei Yuanting is so evil that he actually dares to come to bring trouble on us! I'm afraid there are more than a hundred Yuan Army scouts in this team. ?”

"We also discussed this topic in our internal tactical discussion! This road is the only way we analyzed that Mobei Yuanting supports Naha! It is normal for the enemy to have scouts here!"

suddenly.

In the sky.

Phew——!
A bird call attracted Zhao An's attention.

Zhao An frowned and raised his binoculars to look at the bird in the air.

Then he shouted: "No! It's a falcon! This bird has discovered us!"

The words fell.

The Falcon also fell rapidly, and soon fell into the Mongolian cavalry scouts.

Followed by.

A puff of dust rose up from the Mongol scout formation.

soon.

A large group of cavalry rushed out and rushed straight towards Zhao An and others!
Zhao An said nervously: "What should I do?"

Wang Danian hummed: "Run! They are still three or four miles away from us now, what are you afraid of! Can they still catch up with us?"

Xu Zhi frowned and said, "Didn't our boss say that if we encounter an enemy scout, we should grab a tongue and go back to question him! Now that the enemy scout is here, how can we leave?"

When Zhao An heard this, he was stunned and couldn't help but cursed: "You are crazy! With more than a hundred tongues, one person can lick you to death with just one lick!
There are so many people, you are so stupid! Don't run away yet! "

Hearing this, Xu Zhi shook his head and said: "There are only over a hundred people, what are you afraid of? We have armors and guns, and we can run and fight at the same time. Can they still be our opponents?"

When Zhao An heard Xu Zhi's words, he immediately hesitated.

They had discussed this topic during the tactical discussion meeting.

If you encounter a large group of prairie cavalry chasing you, can you rely on the range and power of the musket, and at the same time, because of the defense brought by the armor, helmet and even the mask, can you hang on the prairie cavalry all the way and finally win.

In the end, the result of everyone's discussion was that if the enemy army did not exceed fifty people, they could fight while running and kill all the pursuers!
After all, the effective shooting distance of Lu Wangwei's musket is three hundred steps or even further.

Within a hundred steps, the shot was flawless.

As long as you bring enough bullets, the Mongolian weapons will not hurt you.

But his own musket can shoot one at a time, so the final result must be that all the prairie cavalry are killed by one person!
However, it won't work if there are more than fifty.

The reason is also very simple.

The horse couldn't stand it.

If you keep running for too long, you will be exhausted.

The current team of Mongolian scouts is also outrageous.

There were more than a hundred people!
Under normal circumstances, a dozen people would be a lot.

but.

This is not a question that Zhao An should consider.

He was just thinking.

According to the limit, as long as there are no more than fifty people, it’s okay!
Now there are three people on our side.

The enemy only looked like he was in his early 100s, no more than 112 people at most!
You can definitely give it a try!
If you kill all these people and bring back a few tongues, how proud you will be in the army!

Think of this.

Zhao Anxin moved.

He looked at Wang Danian and said, "Xu Zhi wants to fight with them! What do you say?"

Wang Danian frowned and asked, "Do you want to?"

"miss you!"

Wang Danian gritted his teeth and said: "You two are heroes, am I a coward? I want it too! Let's do it!"

Zhao An smiled and said: "Follow the method in our tactics seminar?"

Wang Danian and Xu Zhi nodded.

soon.

The three scouts from King Lu's Guard pressed their crotches to the horse's belly, and rushed towards the Yuan Army's scout brigade!
