Chapter 1185 Move troops
The population mobility of nomadic peoples is strong, so the ethnic composition is relatively complex. The Oirats are mainly yellow people, followed by mixed races (relative to white people), and there are also white people with purer blood.
At this moment, in a camp of the Huit tribe, Weng Guochu, the leader of the Heshuote tribe, was enjoying a white beauty with great enthusiasm. This woman was presented by the Huit tribe leader, Gömons, the leader of the Huit tribe. She was blonde, blue-eyed, white as snow, tall and graceful, and beautiful. She could tell that she was a white beauty with pure blood, which was rare even in the Oirat.
In fact, this white beauty was originally the favorite concubine of Gormons, the leader of the Whit tribe. She paid a lot of money from Persia not long ago. This time, Weng Guochu led 50,000 cavalry to support the Whit tribe. In order to please the leader, Gormons also reluctantly gave up his favorite concubine.
Weng Guochu was very fond of this purebred Persian beauty, and it was a period of freshness, so when Batal and Gormons led their troops, he immediately summoned the Persian beauty to serve him and drink and have fun.
In Weng Guochu's view, Batal and Gommons led 30,000 cavalry to defeat Hulan Husswen's small Ming army, so he was not worried at all, and he was very comfortable drinking and having fun with the Persian beauties.
However, just as Weng Guochu was drunk and overwhelmed the Persian beauty to do something about Lunar, a personal soldier ran in ignorantly and reported in a panic: "Khan, it's not good. Batal Khan and Gormons Khan were defeated by the Ming army, and suffered heavy casualties."
Weng Guochu was about to pick up his gun and get on the horse. He was so scared that he was so excited that he woke up halfway through his drunkenness. He said in a lost voice: "How is it possible that 30,000 cavalry can actually lose to thousands of Ming troops?"
The personal soldiers subconsciously glanced at the beautiful Persian girl who was dazzlingly white under Weng Guochu, swallowed her saliva and replied: "It is said that a large number of reinforcements from the Ming army suddenly arrived, and Batal Khan and Gommons Khan could not resist it."
The reinforcements of the Ming army arrived? So fast?
Weng Guochu was also awakened by the remaining drunkenness. He got up in a panic and put on his clothes. He hurriedly ran out of the camp and met Batal and Gommons who were even more embarrassed.
It is said that Batal and Gormons were chased by the Ming army for fifty or sixty miles, and they were so angry that they were thrown away their armor. Although the Ming army stopped chasing them later, they still dared not stop and escaped in one breath. The 30,000 cavalry was only less than 10,000 left at this moment, which is exactly the folk saying: Cucumber beats dogs - half of them are missing!
When Weng Guochu saw the miserable situation between Batal and Gormons, he couldn't help but be furious, because half of the 30,000 cavalry were soldiers under his command.
"Batar, Gormons, what's going on? Where are Ben Khan's men?" Weng Guochu asked angrily.
Batal and Gormons looked embarrassed, and the former blushed and explained: "Brother Weng Guochu, we were about to annihilate the small group of Ming army and Isana, but suddenly a large number of Ming army reinforcements arrived, with at least 30,000 troops. Their firearms were quite sharp. We were no match for them at all, and we were defeated!"
In fact, the Shenji Camp and the Three Thousand Battal who came to assist were only about 16,000 people. In order to excuse him, Batal insisted on adding fuel to the fire and said that it was 30,000 people.
Weng Guochu was both heartbroken and frightened when he heard this. At the same time, he began to regret it. It was all because of his greed and recklessness. Altan had a 300,000 army and was beaten to pieces by the Ming people. He was actually obsessed with the intention of fighting against the Ming army. He made a mistake. This time he was fooled by Altan, which was outrageous!
"Come on, catch Altan to Ben Khan!" Weng Guochu shouted loudly.
Batal quickly stopped him and said, "Brother Weng Guochu, no!"
Weng Guochu frowned and said, "Why not? Our Oirat and the Ming Dynasty did not violate the rivers, but they were all conflicts caused by Altan. Now, if you hand over Altan to the Ming people, you will definitely be able to turn swords into jade and silk."
Batal shook his head and said, "It's too late. If we handed over Altan at the beginning, it would be possible to turn war into jade. Now we have killed and destroyed the letters of the head commander of the Ming army. Thousands of Ming troops were killed and injured in that battle just now, and the Ming people will definitely not give up."
Gormons quickly echoed: "Yes, brothers Weng Guochu, now we can only fight the Ming army to the end, and we must not have any luck."
First of all, the Huite army was the first to clash with the Ming army, and the messenger sent by the head commander of the Ming army was also ordered to be killed by himself. Gormons was naturally afraid that the Ming army would retaliate, so he tried his best to fight. Otherwise, once peace talks, Weng Guochu would definitely sacrifice the interests of the Huite army to please the Ming army.
At this time, Batal said again: "Brothers Weng Guochu, the most urgent task is that we must unite and beware of the Ming army's attack. What's more, even if we want to negotiate with the Ming army, we must be prepared to start a full war so as not to be caught off guard by the Ming army."
Weng Guochu nodded after hearing this and said, "It's reasonable, I will order people to return to the Heshuote headquarters to summon 30,000 troops to reinforce."
"My Turkut headquarters also adds 10,000 troops!" Batal said decisively: "In addition, the brothers Weng Guochu should issue another order to summon the leader, and ask the Choros and Dulbert troops to send troops to reinforce."
Weng Guochu's face darkened and he snorted coldly: "Choros and Dulbert are not the same as us. It is unlikely that they will send troops to fight against the Ming Dynasty!"
Batal frowned and said, "If we were annihilated by the Ming army, they would not be able to live well. This is how you can. Brother Weng Guochu, you write a letter and I will go to Choros in person. As long as you talk about Choros, Dulbert should also respond."
"Okay!" Weng Guochu agreed reluctantly.
The Choros tribe is the second largest tribe of the Oirat, second only to the Hoshuote tribe, the leader of the Choros tribe. Hassand, the leader of the Choros tribe, has never been very good at Weng Guo Chu, so the relationship between the two is very bad. However, now facing the powerful Ming army, Weng Guo Chu can only lower his figure and seek cooperation from the Choros tribe.
When Gommons saw Weng Guochu accepting Batal's opinion, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Weng Guochu would insist on having a peace talk with the Ming army. After all, Weng Guochu could hand over Altan to the Ming army today, and maybe he would sell himself to the Ming army tomorrow to calm the anger of the head commander of the Ming army.
At that moment, Weng Guochu wrote a letter in hand, and Batal set off to the Choros tribe with his handwritten letter in hand. Choros is the current Junggar, located in northern Xinjiang, near Urumqi. It is more than 2,000 miles from the Huit tribe. It takes ten or eight days to ride a fast horse back and forth.
After Batal left, Weng Guochu sent people back to Heshuote headquarters to dispatch troops, while he was on guard against the Ming army's attack as if he was facing a great enemy. As a result, he was nervous and alert all night, and the Ming army had no movement, so he sent a large number of scouts to inquire.
Soon, the scouts came back one after another to report that the Ming army actually retreated to Hulan Hushuwen to build a camp. They obviously planned to defend themselves and had no intention of taking the initiative to attack. Moreover, the Ming army's troops were only more than 20,000, and the main force was obviously not yet arrived.
When he heard that the Ming army had only a little over 20,000, Weng Guochu's mind became active again, and he wanted to take the opportunity to send troops to bully the few. However, when he thought that the 30,000 army was defeated by the Ming army yesterday, he was a little scared. At present, he could only mobilize about 40,000 troops under his command. If he suffers another defeat, he will probably have to spend his life in it. So Weng Guochu thought about it over and over again, and finally chose to hold on and wait for reinforcements to come.
On April 16th, it was night, a bright moon hung over the grassland, scattering the clear light all over the ground, and the water of the Selenge River flowed quietly.
Inside the yurt, Altan and Gömmons, the leader of the Whit tribe, were drinking at the table. Speaking of which, since the 30,000 Oirat army was defeated by the Ming army yesterday, Altan obviously felt that Weng Guochu was much colder to him, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis in his heart, because he was afraid that Weng Guochu would hand him over to the Ming army to seek peace!
So Altan specially invited Gommons tonight to drink, trying to find out from him. If the situation is not good, he has to run away quickly!
As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. After all, Altan is a great Khan of the Tatar. Although he is almost a commander of the bare hands, he still has some valuable things in his hands.
After receiving a Western pocket watch and a pair of gold bracelets handed over by Altan, Gommons told Altan about Weng Guochu's complete plan. Altan was relieved after hearing this. Weng Guochu moved troops everywhere, obviously not intending to compromise with the Ming army, and he was still safe for the time being.
Cosmon Ai played with the Western pocket watch without hesitation and said, "Although Ming Dog is abominable, he is really clever and skillful. This time-calling thing is really awesome!"
A faint disdain flashed in Altan's eyes and said with a smile: "Brothers of Cosmond, this pocket watch was made by Westerners. Now the Ming Dynasty has opened the sea ban, and many Westerners have gone to the Ming Dynasty to do business. My Khan also accidentally obtained it when he defeated the capital of the Ming Dynasty the year before yesterday. There were only three in total."
Speaking of his glorious record, Altan couldn't help but look proud. Seeing this, Cosmon felt a little unhappy, and coughed lightly, changing the topic: "Brother Altan, yesterday, the leader of the Weng Guochu planned to arrest you and hand it over to the Ming army. It was me and Batal who had a good or bad reputation, and the leader of the Weng Guochu gave up this idea."
A cold light flashed in Altan's eyes quickly, but he quickly said gratefully: "Thank you, Brothers Cosmond for speaking up for justice. Altan will definitely repay you for your kindness in the future and will never forget it!"
Cosmon waved his hand and said, "Brother Altan is so serious. If Weng Guochu had a peace talk with Mingjun, I would definitely not be able to do anything. Helping you is just helping yourself. Humph, Weng Guochu thought that if you handed over you, you could turn war into jade. It was simply fantastic!"
My eyes flashed and took the opportunity to say, "Haha, the Cosmon brothers are a sensible person. Weng Guochu is short-sighted and really unworthy of being the leader of the Ola. The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is ambitious, and the commander of the Ming army Xu Jin is also a greedy man. He leads a large army from thousands of miles away. How could he give up? He will never give up without eating and drinking."
