Chapter 1053 Saibei
After the angel left Jizhen, it seemed that overnight, the Qi family army guarding the important area of ​​the capital could empathize with each other—their Marshal Qi was holding back his energy in his heart, waiting for something.

For as long as one month, chariots, bird guns, tiger squat guns, Buddha wolf machines, and various ammunition were distributed to various frontier fortresses accurate to single digits, pointing out a clear way for the arrogant soldiers to draw their swords.

Four fortresses at the pass, 510 two chariots with bird gun walls and Buddha wolf machine walls are assigned to four routes; the military arteries south of the Great Wall are not difficult to see the elite Hummers galloping across the border in neat formations, dragged by mules and horses behind the horse soldiers The most conspicuous sign of Qi's army is the tiger squatting and cannon walking through the official road.

Even the big and small officials who traveled to and from Gyeonggi felt that the atmosphere in northern Xinjiang had changed.

In the past, sergeants of the Qi family met on the road, no matter how big or small they were, the sergeants had heavy responsibilities, and they would dismount from their horses regardless of whether they were straight or straight, and wait for the civil and military officials to pass before galloping away; but now it is different, the Qi family troops carry flags along the way Gongs and drums, even if the second-rank officials are in front of them, they will not avoid it and just pass through.

Everyone who is often in Gyeonggi knows that this is the move of Qi's army entering a state of war.

Qi Jiguang is indeed preparing for war... Among the court generals, Qi Jiguang has not been very supportive of war against Mongolia, but he has been preparing to meet the Mongolian army on the battlefield.

This is not contradictory. In Qi Jiguang's philosophy, without the three guards of Wuliangha, the imperial court would not be able to wage a full-scale war with Mongolia.

In other words, this actually has nothing to do with Wuliangha Sanwei, but in that piece of land, that piece of land is the depth of the capital, and Ming could not accept that Beijing was besieged while facing an all-out war to the north.

But if it is a war against Wuliangha, Qi Jiguang fully supports it. Although his support is far less powerful than that of the household department in general, but with the support of the emperor... then it will be different.

The emperor's support was simple and rude: Marshal Qi said that by building a house, the three guards could be cleaned up, so, well, ask the Ministry of War for money to build the house.

Qi Jiguang wanted 30 taels of silver a year, a total of 60 taels, and repaired the old city and wall along the way to the north until he brought Tuman and Wuliangha Sanwei under the control of the imperial court.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs were still having a hard time deciding how much money to allocate, but the turning point first appeared outside the Great Wall. Qi Jiguang received an urgent report from his subordinates: the leader of the Harqin Department, the governor Tongzhi, and Jinwu General Qingba Dutaiji and his son-in-law Duoyan The governor, Ang, and his younger brother commanded him to be careful about Taiji, Suo Taiji, Wu Daji, and more than [-] guards and cavalry knocked on the pass.

There is no impenetrable wall in this world, especially in the northern border where trade exchanges are flourishing day by day, Qi Jiguang's preparations for a big fight easily worried the lords of Tumdyongshebuwanhu.

Qing Badu seemed a little impatient when he saw Qi Jiguang. After setting up three horses under the Great Wall, he immediately hoped that Qi Jiguang would tell them the purpose of using troops.

They have all fought against Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang. For them, Qi Jiguang is much more terrifying than Li Chengliang—Li Chengliang is a difficult opponent, and Qi Jiguang is the last person they want to be an opponent in this land.

Because no one could break through Qi Jiguang's defense line, and because Tumen Khan was surrounded by chariots without even breaking through a pier a while ago.

In their eyes, the 'misunderstanding' that did not have a large-scale battle and could not even be called a war can only be described as a magical calculation.

How did Qi Jiguang know that Tumen Khan was going to attack Qingshan Pass in advance?Three Ming armies from different passes trapped Tumen Khan in the mountain road at the most opportune time. There will be no such coincidence in the world.

The first possibility is that the news of Tumen Khan leaked when he was preparing for the battle, but the pre-war preparation time of the Great Khan was extremely short, and there were no merchants entering and leaving Chahar during that time, then it would only be the second possibility— ——Qi Jiguang's car camp received news on the way out of the fortress, and gave up the original purpose to support Qingshankou.

So, who did Qi Jiguang want to attack?

This answer worries everyone.

The old worries were not over yet, and new worries came again——Qi Jiguang's mobilization of troops this time was even bigger, so that the momentum spread to the grassland.

Who is not afraid?
Tumen Khan's reputation has just been greatly reduced due to a "misunderstanding", and Altan Khan, who has the most powerful troops, is lying on the bed again. At this point in time, don't say that Qi Jiguang is really mobilizing troops, even if it is just news that he is going to mobilize troops, like them Wanhu will lead the tribe to move north, and there will be no resistance at all.

But even if they went to the Great Wall in person, how could Qi Jiguang tell them the answer? He just invited these leaders into the pass to meet alone to find out what they wanted.

The result made Qi Jiguang overjoyed.

Du Taiji, who has the largest military power and official position, wants very simple. He hopes that the target of the Ming army is his neighbor Su Yehai; he has three younger brothers, and both younger brothers seem to have no ambitions, and they only want to protect themselves The tribe, the other younger brother Ha Buyan is more interesting. He hopes that the Ming army will attack his elder brother Qingbadu. If Qi Jiguang is willing to fight, his subordinates will join the battle at any time-to help Qi Jiguang.

Chang Ang from the Duoyan tribe is the most interesting. He just came here to hang out. Earlier, he and his uncle Chang Tu were defeated by Qi Jiguang. In order to redeem his uncle, he had already vowed never to attack Daming. Anyone, as long as the Ming army is willing to share his spoils, he will go.

It was very easy for everyone to reach a consensus: all the ministries were willing to cut down and collect wood and stones for Qi Jiguang to build the fort, in exchange for the safety of the tribe and part of the rations needed for this winter.

The budget for repairs to the pier appears to have been greatly reduced.

Unexpectedly, Qi Jiguang and several leaders sent the above-listed letters to the court, and along with the court allocated 12 taels of silver to Jizhen, in addition to [-] copies of Beiyang army rations, these letters were also notified to the local barbarians. News from the three parts of Wuliangha.

Before Qi Jiguang went out of the fortress, a fight broke out on the grassland... Su Yehai, the chief of the Taining Department, declared war on the Qingbadu Taiji as soon as he saw the letter. The chain reaction brought about by this move plunged the eastern grassland into chaos.

Tumen Khan convened a group of people to raise [-] troops to declare war on the Ming Dynasty in the name of the barbarians; Manwu Suotaiji and Manwu Dajihe tribes assisted their elder brother Qingbadu; their other brother Ha Butaiji Because of his desire to covet the leader of the Harqin Tribe, he was informed, betrayed his blood, quickly formed an alliance with the local barbarians, and led an army to attack Qingbadu.

On the other hand, Chang Ang led his army across Ha Buzhi Taiji's racecourse without hesitation, so as to rush to rescue Qingbadu who was under attack.

Under such a situation, Qi Jiguang, who was both angry and funny, had no choice but to lead the army out of the fortress according to the emperor's order, and returned to the Duoyan tribe of Ming Dynasty with rushing aid.

The battle north of the Great Wall begins here.

　Good morning!
