Chapter 639 No one knows the plateau better than He Shuote! (Please subscribe)
The grassland area available for use in Dangxiong is nearly a thousand acres, and it is also one of the ways for the Mongolian army to enter the snowy plateau, making it easy to advance and retreat.
It is of great strategic significance to choose Dangxiong as the base camp for the cavalry.
This is one of the reasons why Dangxiong became the headquarters of the "Eight Banners of Mongolia".
Another theory comes from the records in "Tibetan Tribes of China": It is said that at first there were only seven households of Mongolian banner herdsmen with the same surname in Damxiong, and then some of Gushi Khan's subordinates settled here.
The land is rich in water and grass and is suitable for the development of animal husbandry. Therefore, many herdsmen from Xikang, Qinghai, Gansu and other places successively moved to settle here. Later, Dangxiong developed into eight tribes, each tribe represented by one of the seven ancestors.
named after his surname.
The eight tribes are Qukel, Enguo, Bagal, Atuo, Banga, Guocaibu, Ash and Sobu.
In short, Ford Gonpo is the leader of the Eight Mongolian Banners, so when the decisive battle comes in Lhasa, he will definitely play a big role.
Fude Gonbu surrendered, but Heshuote version Li Shimin did not, and Lhazang Lube committed suicide.
Pan Aqiang didn't have any trouble with his body and sent surrendered Tibetan soldiers to give it a rich burial.
The Tibetan soldiers who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty saw the kindness of the Ming Dynasty, and they all secretly praised in their hearts: Our Buddha is compassionate, no wonder the Buddha asked them to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it is not unreasonable.
Soon after, Pan Aqiang met Fude Gonpo in a temple in the city.
The two of them looked at each other passionately. The defeated Fude Gongbo first confessed his defeat sincerely in Sichuan Chinese, "I didn't expect General Pan to be so young. When I saw your temperament, you were born in a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The defeated general was convinced."
!”
Pan Aqiang nodded and said: "You were indeed defeated unjustly!"
"Old Fu, I'm not looking down on you. With His Majesty the Emperor in Ming Dynasty, no one can be a match for Ming Dynasty!"
"Your Majesty the Emperor?" Ford Gonpo was not very familiar with Zhu Kezang, and this place was too closed off.
Otherwise they and Shuote would not have joined the Holy Qing Mongol Empire.
It feels like I entered the country in 1949 or something.
Sooner or later this thing will be banned by Zhu Kezang.
Just like the Holy Roman Empire was banned by Napoleon.
Seeing that Fude Gongpo was confused, Pan Aqiang patiently introduced to him the deeds of the great emperor Zhu Kezang, including but not limited to the gods' predictions of earthquakes in dreams, the blessings of the Suzaku when he ascended the throne, and the descent of the Nanyang sacred tree from the sky.
Hearing this, the superstitious Fude Gonpot was dumbfounded: "There is such a strange man in the world. Shuote and I did not lose unfairly!"
Then, after letting Fude Gompo digest it for a while, Pan Aqiang decided to give him a test and see how valuable he was.
"What do you think is the best way for Ming Dynasty to launch its next attack?"
Ah, isn't this very simple? Just push it horizontally.
Fude Gonpo didn't think too much and said: "General Pan, whoever wins Qamdo wins the plateau. If the general continues to advance, the Ming Dynasty will definitely win!"
This was said but not said, and Pan Aqiang was a little unhappy.
Seeing the look on his face, Fude Gombo knew that he would not be able to pass the test unless he showed some real effort.
Ford Gonpo stroked his beard and said, "General, don't worry, let me think about it!"
Pan Aqiang is not in a hurry. As an old man, his brain works slowly, so that's understandable.
"General, the first thing you need to do is make sure everything is safe and sound!"
It turned out that Ford Gonpot and Lhasang Lube had communication channels with Dalai Khan in the rear.
They had agreed upon a secret code with Lhasa. If the code of the messenger sent to deliver the news was incorrect, it must be that something happened in Qamdo, and Lhasa would be fully prepared to fight.
Fudgongpo suggested sending his confidants to Lhasa to express that Qamdo was safe and that the Ming army had been repulsed.
Soldiers never tire of deceit. This plan is good, but there is a small problem.
"Good idea, but Lao Fu, we have been fighting to the death in Qamdo for five days. There will always be broken troops who will flee to Lhasa. What if we are exposed?"
Ford Gombo laughed loudly, "General, listen to me!"
It turned out that the battle-hardened Fode Gonpo had already sent his direct troops to camp on the important roads behind Qamdo, setting up checkpoints to intercept the defeated troops, and then send these damned defeated troops to the front to continue the battle.
Now, as long as Fude Gonpot sends people to various important roads to receive his troops, it can basically guarantee that the news will not be exposed.
The former Ford Gonpo never thought that such a day would come to him. What he did at that time was simply because there were too many deserters, so he had no choice but to do it unintentionally.
very good!
Pan Aqiang agreed to his suggestion, but out of caution, he asked: "Old Fu, can you trust those confidants who reported the news?"
"no problem!"
Fude Gompo patted his chest and made sure.
Major Fu Bowen next to him was a little confused: "Is it possible that Lhasa will send someone here, maybe to send food, grass and equipment?"
Fude Gonpo shook his head, this reincarnated Bodhisattva is too young!
He explained that due to the rugged roads, Lhasa rarely sends people over, and no one is willing to come.
As for sending food and grass to the front line, is this a concept for nomads?
Fu Bowen made the mistake of empiricism.
"Cough cough cough!"
Clearing her throat, she proposed the second strategy, "The second step is to combine work and rest!"
"The Ming army is really powerful. It defeated me and the Shuote Khanate and we were helpless. But I think the Ming Dynasty spent a lot of ammunition and supplies. Also, no one knows the plateau better than us and Shuote. I think all the Ming army's bodies must be very tired.
Otherwise, why would we use wheel warfare to attack Qamdo!"
"General Pan, winter is coming soon, and the weather will not be as simple as it is now, so I suggest you rest in Qamdo, spend the winter, and make an all-out effort to capture Lhasa next spring!"
Ford Gonpo was right. The Ming army really needed to rest and take a breather, and supplies had to be shipped slowly.
Moreover, the Qamdo area is distributed alternately between three rivers and three mountains. There are basins in the valleys that use the surrounding mountains to resist the cold and can survive the winter. There is also fodder for livestock to survive the winter.
Pan Aqiang nodded in disbelief.
Principal Zhu Kezang once said: Not making decisions easily is the virtue of a commander.
If you cannot make a decision, ask the principal for advice.
Pan Aqiang was going to report to Zhu Kezang for instructions on the recovery of Qamdo and the next strategy later.
It is more troublesome to deliver the news here in Qamdo. You have to send someone to send the letter to western Sichuan where telegrams can be sent before the news can be sent to Yingtian.
It's more troublesome, but it's already a faster way.
Seeing Pan Aqiang thinking, Fude Gongbu volunteered, saying that when the Ming army continues to attack in the next spring, he would like to be the vanguard!
Good, good!
The younger Admiral Pan patted Fude Gombo on the shoulder so hard that he almost fell apart.
"Old Fu, those who understand the current situation are heroes. If you follow the general trend, you will achieve great achievements!"
Then he continued: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty must be extremely ambitious. As long as you sincerely submit, you will be a Ming Dynasty man!"
