Everyone knows that the main force of the Great Jin army's siege was in Haoge. Fei Yangwu's troops were all cavalry. It is not impossible for cavalry to dismount and attack the city. However, doing this is entirely based on one's own shortcomings and to fight against the enemy's strengths. There is no such reason for professional siege infantry not to step forward, but to dismount and attack the city. Fei Yangwu said that his determination was fine, but accidentally slapped Haoge in the face.

"Tomorrow, I will pull all my people out!"

"If you don't take down Dongjiabao, you will never withdraw your troops!"

Haoge couldn't stop talking.

In his hands, there were 7,000 natives, 7,000 Han military flags, and 2,000 Korean minions. In terms of quantity, such siege forces were definitely not weak. Except for the capital, Jinzhou, and Shanhaiguan, ordinary towns could not resist their fierce attacks. Logically speaking, towns like Dongjiabao should not be the opponent of the Jin army at all!

The problem is that the explosive pack of the Hu Ben Army is indeed powerful. No matter how many people there are, no matter how many people there are, they will all fall down after a loud bang. The more people there are, the more casualties there are. However, the fewer people, the more fires and injuries, and the Hu Ben Army's muskets are powerful and cannot rush under the city wall.

This is a dead knot that cannot be opened.

As long as Huang Taiji still wants to attack Dongjiabao, as long as the Jin army still wants to catch Zhang Zhun, they must be stabbed by this hedgehog. The more violent the Jin army's attack was, the more powerful the more powerful the pig's counterattack was, the deeper the stabbing, and the more bleeding it was.

However, the Great Jin army had to attack. Because the person they wanted to destroy was hidden under the spikes of the pig. Can the Great Jin army give up this person? It is difficult! As long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, the Great Jin army is unwilling to let go! This person has caused too much harm to the Great Jin Kingdom! If he is not killed as soon as possible now, it will be even more troublesome in the future.

In order to show his support for Hauge, Zaisanbuhe said calmly: "Khan, our Korqin tribe is willing to send 5,000 warriors to participate in the attack."

Huang Taiji nodded, his face gradually calmed down.

From the heart, Huang Taiji did not want the Korqin tribe to suffer losses. Huang Taiji trusted the Korqin tribe very much. He wanted to make the Korqin tribe the largest tribe in the Mongolian grassland and control the entire Mongolian grassland. Therefore, he just rejected Zaisanbuhe's proposal. But now, he cannot continue to refuse. Because this is Zaisanbuhe's private support for Haoge. Now Haoge does need support.

After pondering for a while, Huang Taiji said passionately: "Manchu warriors and Mongolian warriors have the same ancestors and the same clan, and do not distinguish between each other. I would like to emphasize again that no matter whether they are Manchu warriors or Mongolian warriors, as long as they win Dongjiabao and get Zhang Zhun's head, I will not be stingy with rewards."

After a slight pause, Huang Taiji said slowly: "Whoever takes the Dongjiabao, I will reward him with Fuyuwei! His descendants can rule Fuyuwei forever!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamation below, and then he returned to silence.

A stone stirs up a thousand layers of waves, Huang Taiji is really willing to give up!

He actually took out all the Fuyu Wei!

In the 20th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1387 AD), the Ming Dynasty sent Feng Sheng, Fu Youde and Lan Yu to lead 200,000 troops to detour Qingzhou (now in the Balin Right Banner, Inner Mongolia) to surround the Nahachu army's garrison. Nahachu was forced to surrender. The above-mentioned Mongolian tribes lost their barriers, and their garrisons could be invaded by the Ming Dynasty at any time.

In the 21st year of Hongwu (1388), the Mongolian Khan Tuogus Timur was defeated by the Ming general Lan Yu's army in the sea of ​​fishing (now Beier Lake, Inner Mongolia). These major military failures left the Mongolian tribes east of the Greater Xing'an Mountains in an isolated and helpless situation. They had to submit to the Ming court. Note that they were temporary, not permanent.

In the 22nd year of Hongwu (1389), the Ming court set up the three guards of Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu in this area. The Duoyan Wei was in the upper reaches of the Qulier River (referring to the Guile River, a tributary of Taoer River in the southern tributary of Taoer River) and the Duoyan Mountains; Taining Wei was in the Taer River (now Taoer River) basin, namely Taining Road in the Yuan Dynasty; Fuyu Wei was in the Nenjiang and Fuyu River (now Wuyuer River) basin.

At the same time, the Ming court granted the title of the three guards as officials at all levels to win over and restrain. Azhashili was appointed as the commander of Taining Guards, Tabin Timur was the commander of the commander; Haisanan replied to Xi as the commander of the Fuyu Guards; Tuoluhuchaer was the commander of the Duoyan Guards. The Ming court asked them to "each leader of their troops to ensure animal husbandry." In short, it was the apparent acceptance of the imperial court, but in most places, they were still autonomous.

Fuyu Wei was one of the three Duoyan guards at that time and an important ally of the Ming Dynasty. Later, due to changes in the policies of the Ming Dynasty and the continuous weakening of its own strength, the three Duoyan guards eventually broke away from the Ming Dynasty and became surrounded by the Great Jin Kingdom. Most of the territory under the control of the three Duoyan guards belonged to the Korqin grassland. Fuyu Wei is located in the northernmost part of the Korqin grassland, with abundant water and grass, and is an important pasture and forest area.

【Author’s note: The territory ruled by Fuyuwei is near Ulanhot, Inner Mongolia today.】

Who wouldn't want to become the master of Fuyu Wei? As long as you can control Fuyu Wei, you can cultivate a large number of war horses, cattle and sheep, and can reproduce a large population, greatly strengthening the strength of the tribe. However, because of the relationship between the Korqin tribe, everyone has some concerns. After all, Fuyu Wei is also part of the Korqin grassland. If you don't get the consent of the Korqin tribe, it will be basically impossible to effectively rule here in the future.

Now, Huang Taiji took the initiative to bring out Fuyuwei, which really made many people excited. With Huang Taiji's Jinkou, I believe that the Korqin tribe will never dare to obstruct it again. If we can obtain this important pasture and forest area, it is possible to increase the population of tens of thousands after decades. For nomadic people, the population of tens of thousands is a very large number. It is not impossible to become the largest tribe in the Mongolian grasslands.

Zaisanbuhe immediately said: "Our Korqin tribe is willing to dispatch 10,000 warriors to assist in the siege."

As soon as Huang Taiji finished speaking, the old man was moved.

He had to be moved. Although as the leader of the Korqin tribe, Zaisanbu and did not have all unified the Korqin tribe. The Fuyu Wei in the north was blank. He also knew that due to political reasons, Huang Taiji could not have let him control the entire Korqin grassland in the past, so as not to be too strong and difficult to control. But now it is different. The strength of the Great Jin Kingdom is much stronger than before, so there is no need to worry about him anymore.

Of course he couldn't let go of such a good opportunity. Even if he had to pay some price, he was willing to do so. The price of ten thousand people could be made up for the increasingly powerful Korqin tribe in just four or five years. The grassland where Fuyu Wei is located is so plump. If it can be connected, the number of horses, cattle and sheep in the Korqin tribe can increase by at least 40%.

Since Zaisanbu and the others consciously shut up. The Korqin tribe is powerful and has tens of thousands of cavalry. Where can others have the strength to compete with him? Among all the people here, only Haoge is the one who has the strength to compete with Zaisanbu and is not as strong as Ajige. But Haoge's biggest goal is to inherit his father's position as a Khan, so naturally he will not have any thoughts about Fuyuwei. Therefore, from a broad perspective, this Fuyuwei is basically the treasure of the Korqin tribe.

Of course, it is not ruled out that in the real battle, some small tribes were lucky enough to attack Dongjiabao first. Therefore, Huang Taiji's reward was not very exciting to the three major Mongolian tribes, but very great for other small Mongolian tribes. Of course, the natural conditions of the territory currently controlled by these small Mongolian tribes will not be very good. If they can control Fuyuwei, they will completely turn over. Therefore, the leaders of many small Mongolian tribes are illuminating their eyes and thinking about how they can rush into Dongjiabao first.

In addition to the leaders of the small Mongolian tribes, there are also middle-level members of the Great Jin army such as Fei Yangwu and Debach. Although they are all Jialazhangjing and have a relatively high status in the Great Jin Kingdom, they are not lords after all, and they are not qualified to control a tribe. Judging from Huang Taiji's meaning, whoever makes the best can become the master of Fuyu Wei. If they can make the best can they be able to break away from their original thrones and become the real tribe leader.

Who doesn't want to be the leader of the tribe? Who doesn't want to own a territory that belongs entirely to them? Who doesn't want to exile cattle and sheep on the grassland with abundant water and grass? All of a sudden, their fighting spirit was ignited. They were originally a little dejected, and they immediately became full of fighting spirit and were full of expectations for tomorrow's battle.

Huang Taiji nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the reward he threw out had successfully stimulated the morale of the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers. This is exactly what he needed. With him to curb the upper level, no one dared to give in. As long as the morale of the middle and lower-level officers and soldiers increased, the combat effectiveness of the Jin army would still be so strong. There is still hope to attack Dongjiabao.

After a moment, Huang Taiji's eyes slowly fell on Ajige.

He was angry with Ajige, but he had to admit that Ajige was still somewhat capable in military affairs. Otherwise, his military achievements would not be so outstanding. If he had only compared his skills in fighting, Ajige was indeed better than Haoge. Now, there were setbacks in the battle in Dongjiabao, and he really wanted to hear Ajige's true thoughts. Having bait is not enough, and there is also a way to get bait.

Ajig said slowly: "Khan, I don't know if I should say it?"

Huang Taiji frowned quietly and said quietly: "You said."

When Haoge was defeated, Ajige got the most benefits. He suddenly turned over and jumped up again. What should he say? It was obviously an excuse, and it was clearly showing Huang Taiji's face. You just said that I asked Haoge to learn how to fight. I am so humble now. I just listen to you? I obediently obediently and learn from Haoge... It is naturally Huang Taiji and Haoge. But there is no way, who said Haoge accidentally defeated the battle?

Ajige said slowly: "I think if we continue to attack, we cannot just focus on the surrounding areas of Dongjiabao. We must launch attacks in multiple places. We must launch attacks on Shandong to the south, Zhending Mansion to the west, Henan to the southwest, etc., creating the illusion of panic. Doing so will make the Hu Ben Army tighten its forces and cannot provide timely reinforcements. If there is a loophole, we can take the opportunity to seize it and eliminate it in one fell swoop."

Jiergalang frowned and said, "Is it useful to march into these places? These places are all subject to the jurisdiction of the Ming court and have nothing to do with Zhang Zhun, so he will not take the initiative to reinforce! On the contrary, we will defeat the strength of the Ming court, and the area controlled by the Hu Ben Army will continue to expand. The larger the area controlled by the Hu Ben Army, the faster the strength will increase and the greater the damage to us."

Ajige said deeply: "I have considered this issue too. However, if Zhang Zhun is really hiding in Dongjiabao and refuses to come out, we can't stand up with Zhang Zhun here until the end of the year, right? We will eventually go back to Liaodong. If we can't catch Zhang Zhun, what can we do? We can only increase our own strength as much as possible. We need to plunder more population and more materials. The strength of the Hu Ben Army is increasing, and our strength must also be increasing."

Fei Yangwu said in a jam: "We carry so many people and materials, and it is easy to be attacked by the Hu Ben Army! Everyone knows that once we loot a large number of people and materials, the mobility of the troops will be greatly reduced. If we encounter the Hu Ben Army at this time, we may suffer a loss."

Ajige said proudly: "Not afraid! As long as the Hu Ben Army leaves Dongjiabao, we will immediately abandon all the population and supplies, turn around and fight against the Hu Ben Army. Isn't this just luring Zhang Zhun out? In the field, who will our cavalry in the Great Jin Kingdom be afraid of?"

Jirgalang still frowned and said, "Your idea is too risky. You need to disperse your troops when attacking from all sides. If there is a point, the defense will be as strong as Dongjiabao, wouldn't it be even more casualties?"

Azig said flatly: "If so, I suggest withdrawing troops immediately!"

Jirgalang wanted to speak but stopped.

Ajige said unscrupulously: "If the stronghold of the Hu Ben Army is really stronger than Jinzhou, we must give up the attack and seek other ways to deal with Zhang Zhun! However, I believe that with the current strength of the Hu Ben Army, it is impossible to deploy defense in the entire Shandong, Henan, Zhending Prefecture and other places. I believe that the Ming army is still stationed in these areas."

Huang Taiji didn't like Ajige's tone. Ajige just turned over and his tone was a bit arrogant. Everyone knows that Jirhalang is the representative of his Huang Taiji. He was arrogant to Jirhalang, which was arrogant to him Huang Taiji. However, he had to admit that Ajige's words made some sense.

The strategy of the Great Jin army has always been to avoid the strong and the weak, and to avoid the real and attack the virtual. Even though they know that the enemy's city defense is very strong, they still hit it head-on, which is not brave or stupid. If the defense of Dongjiabao is really so strong, the Great Jin army should decisively take a detour. Otherwise, the Great Jin army will be hit by the Dongjiabao and bloodied.

The problem is that letting Dongjiabao is equivalent to letting Zhang Zhun go. Huang Taiji is really unwilling to accept it. His excited trip to the south this time was for Zhang Zhun. Now, Zhang Zhun is right in front of him, less than twenty miles away. If he can't catch the other party with such a good opportunity, what kind of face does he have?

Ajige's idea is theoretically feasible, but Huang Taiji is absolutely not feasible in fact. Judging from the experience of the Jin army in dealing with the Ming army, once the Ming army decides to stick to it, even if you are in a state of upside down outside, the Ming army in the city will never appear. Huang Taiji has enough reason to believe that Zhang Zhun will follow this principle. It is too difficult for Ajige to lure Zhang Zhun out.

As for Ajige's plundering plan, it is somewhat feasible. Anyway, if you, Zhang Zhun, hide in the turtle shell, refuse to come out, I will turn the hinterland of Ming Kingdom into earth, turning the surrounding areas into white land, leaving you without the motivation to develop. Your strength is growing, and the strength of the Great Jin Kingdom is also growing, and everyone will have the opportunity to continue to confront each other in the future.

Unfortunately, the places where the Great Jin army could loot belonged to the Ming court, not to Zhang Zhun. Huang Taiji now knew that Zhang Zhun was a rebel and wanted to overthrow the Ming court. The Great Jin army looted all the surrounding court jurisdictions, and the biggest loss was the Ming court, not Zhang Zhun. Ajige's plan was a bit similar to tickling the boots, and the strength was not enough!

Haoge was still a little unwilling to give up and said hesitantly: "Uncle Twelve, do you think Dongjiabao really can't be taken down? Do you have no confidence in the combat effectiveness of our warriors?"

Ajige pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I have confidence in them, and I also believe that Dongjiabao can be taken down in the end. There is no city that cannot be conquered in the world, it depends on how much our Great Jin Kingdom is willing to pay."

To say such words is equivalent to agreeing with Hauge's opinion.

Hauge then breathed a sigh of relief. It was really not easy to get Ajige's approval.

However, the next fatal question was immediately entangled with him. To capture Zhang Zhun and to conquer Dongjiabao, one would have to pay the price. The question is, how much could the Great Jin Kingdom pay? Eight thousand people had died during the day, how many people could the Great Jin army pay? Twenty thousand, 30,000, or even 50,000... Five thousand is absolutely impossible. If more than 30,000, it would be severely damaged.

The population of the Great Jin Kingdom has never been large, and every life is very precious. Before each war, the head coach must carefully measure what kind of results he can achieve and how much price he needs to pay. If the price is too high, he must never start a war.

Why was the Great Jin Kingdom so keen on crossing the Great Wall so keen on the south side? It was because the price of Nanluo was very small, but the results were very great. On the Liaodong front, even if the Ming army was defeated, there was not much seizure. If you carefully calculate it, it was actually not worth the loss. Nanluo is different. The price of Nanluo is almost negligible, and the population and materials you grabbed were simply crazy.

Sure enough, when it comes to the cost of casualties, the slightly excited crowd just now calmed down again. Yes, Fuyuwei's territory is indeed very attractive. But, the premise is that you have the strength to get it. Well, to put it more cruelly, you have to have that fate. Judging from the daytime battle, it is impossible to win the Dongjiabao without paying a heavy price. Faced with the crazy counterattack of the Hu Ben Army, even the bravest warriors of the Jin Kingdom, they dare not guarantee that they will survive.

The Jin army was unwilling to pay too much, and the Mongols were of course unwilling. Especially the two tribes of Tumot and Halashen in the south. Their territory was far away from Fuyu Guards, and there was a Korchin tribe between them. Even if they got Fuyu Guards, they could not effectively rule the Fuyu Guards. Therefore, Huang Taiji's proposal was not very exciting to Arislan and Hadanbatel.

It is a very difficult thing to overcome. If one person is not good at solving it, he will lose a large number of soldiers. The nomadic people are not good at attacking it. If they only see the excitement of Fuyuwei but do not see the green face and fangs of Dongjiabao, the outcome will definitely be tragic. None of the people present is a fool, and the interests of them can naturally be clearly distinguished.

"Disast!"

"Waiting for the order of attack tomorrow!"

Huang Taiji waved his hand and let everyone disperse.

It seems that it is definitely impossible to reach a unified opinion tonight. Instead of forcibly reaching a unified opinion, it is better to touch everyone's background first. Huang Taiji himself also needs to measure it well. For Zhang Zhun's life, what price should the Great Jin Kingdom pay? Zhang Zhun is really a precious arrow pig!

...

After Arislan left the camp, he took a few steps, followed Hardanbatel in front, and whispered: "Old Han."

Hardanbatel stopped, without looking back, and without saying anything.

Arislan followed from behind and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Old Han, what are you thinking?"

When the Ming Dynasty was powerful, almost all the Mongolian nobles had a Chinese name to facilitate communication with the Han people. The Chinese name of Hadanbatel was Han Ming, and the Chinese name of Arislan was Li Hanfeng. Later, the Ming Dynasty became the enemy of the Mongols, and their Chinese name gradually stopped being used. Now Arislan used Chinese names to call Hadanbatel, which naturally had a special meaning.

Hardanbatel casually said, "I didn't think about anything, what else can I think?"

Arislan lowered his voice and said, "Old Han, who are you going to send to you tomorrow?"

Hardanbatel turned his head and stared at Arislan, asking without answering, "Where are you?"

Arislan said lightly: "I am going to let Amur and Agudar go up."

Hardanbatel said slowly: "Are you sure?"

Arislan nodded affirmatively and said with a serious expression: "They have a strong desire to fight. They have asked me for a fight early in the morning. Of course, I have to satisfy their request."

Hardanbatel frowned and said nothing.

Agur and Agurdar are two disobedient generals under Arislan. These two guys are close to the Jin army and often have a flirting with Arislan and Huang Taiji on their backs. The relationship between the two and Haoge is also very close. Halfway through, Haoge even invited them to drink, but did not invite Arislan. The meaning of this is naturally self-evident. Now, Arislan sent these two to the front line, and naturally he knew the meaning of it.

Hardanbatel pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Suhe, Alatancang has a strong desire to fight, I am going to let them go."

Arislan smiled knowingly and said calmly: "Okay! I believe Chechen Khan will definitely like it!"

Suhe and Alatancang are also unobedient leaders under Hardan Batel. The two also like to be close to Huang Taiji and have a good relationship with Haoge. Haoge also invited the two to drink, but did not invite Hardan Batel. Now, Hardan Batel understands it and sends them to the front line. The purpose is naturally self-evident.

To be precise, the four people mentioned above were all the confidants of their respective leaders when they left the prairie. Otherwise, they would not have the chance to join the army of Nanluo. However, along the way, Huang Taiji knew how to win over the people and asked Haoge to come forward from time to time to win over the four of them. Huang Taiji was obviously not particularly at ease with Arislan and Hadanbatel, and wanted to win over the four of them, and then undermine Arislan and Hadanbatel.

As a result, the four people found that they had a chance, so they tried their best to show their respect to Huang Taiji. In some matters, they had already reached the opposite side of their original master. Now, Huang Taiji wanted to weaken the strength of the two Mongolian tribes Tumot and Halashen, and wanted to kill people with a knife. They also just took out the time bombs around them.

Of course, Huang Taiji is a smart man. He knows what they think when they see the troops they sent. But even if Huang Taiji knows, so what? Their actions are impeccable. If you ask me to send troops, I will send troops obediently. Do you need your Huang Taiji to designate anyone I send? That's too much. If Huang Taiji publicly interferes, it will cause disgust among all Mongolian tribes. I believe that Huang Taiji will not do such a stupid thing.

The Mongols and Manchus have not been fully adjusted. Everyone is still testing each other and still examining each other. If both sides turn against each other, the Mongols will not have any ability to counterattack. Especially now, the Jin army has been repeatedly attacked, and if the Mongols strive to take action, they can still retreat without any damage. This time, the number of Mongolian cavalry was more than twice that of Jianlu cavalry. The three major tribes, each tribe, had more than 10,000 cavalry.
To be continued...
