Chapter 185 Civil servants living in fantasy
Zhu Houzhao ignored the memorials of these officials who used the moral principles of the world to admonish him.
Now that he has not returned to Beijing, he can only keep these memoranda unpublished and deal with them one by one when he returns to Beijing!
Confucian disciples are notoriously hypocritical. They talk about benevolence, justice and morality, but are full of male thieves and female prostitutes. Being sanctimonious is their specialty, and Zhu Houzhao is not unaware of this.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao could also guess that although these civil servants used the world's moral obstacles to admonish him, they actually harmed their interests by doing so.
Before the Ming Dynasty, it was precisely because it was controlled by these sanctimonious hypocrites that the entire empire became increasingly weak militarily, and it was no longer even possible to open up new territories. Everyone only wanted superficial glitz and peace.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao used his power as emperor to allow the Ming Empire to continue to advance on the road to overlordship.
In addition to having the border troops in each border town attack on all fronts and raid the little prince's back garden.
He also asked the three divisions of the Guards and the frontier troops of Datong to form 15,000 cavalry. Led by Qiu Yue, they galloped to support the Tuxie and Ordos tribes on the right wing of Mongolia based on the information currently available to them.
Although, the desert is vast, no one is sure where the little prince and the Chahar tribe will fight the decisive battle with the Mongolian right-wing Tuxie tribe and the Ordos tribe.
But the Ming Dynasty must support and interfere in the internal affairs of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, because only in this way can the charm of the Ming Dynasty and its imperial ambitions be demonstrated! It’s not just an embroidered pillow!
Even if they return without success, it doesn't matter. The cavalry is no more mobile than the infantry, so there won't be much loss.
What's more, now that the border troops in the border town have been ordered to plunder the Hetao, the supplies accumulated by the little prince in the Hetao are enough to offset the Ming Dynasty's loss of 15,000 cavalry who returned without success!
……
The little prince was the Great Khan of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, Boljijin Batu Mengke. At this time, he did not know that his rear base of 30,000 households on the Mongolian left wing, Hetao, had been attacked by the Ming Dynasty's frontier army. Now he was leading 50,000 cavalry. At a place called Dalantiligon, they faced off against the Mongolian right-wing Tuxie tribe and the Ordos tribe.
The little prince has not yet started to attack the Tuxie Tribe and the Ordos Tribe. He is waiting for the appearance of the Chahar Tribe. He believes that the Tuxie Tribe and the Ordos Tribe will not think that he will bear the hatred of the Ming Dynasty for killing his son and go first. He directly intercepted the Tuxie and Ordos tribes halfway, preventing them from joining forces with the Ming Dynasty, and was eaten by himself and the Chahar tribe first.
The leader of the Tuxie Tribe, Yibula, and the leader of the Ordos Tribe, Mandu Lai Agulehu, really did not expect that the little prince would bear the hatred of killing his son, and sent troops to intercept and kill these two tribes first.
Of course, Yibula and Mandu Lai Agulhu did not really care about the Ming Dynasty. They just wanted to annex the little prince's Mongolian left wing by uniting with the Ming Dynasty's forces.
Therefore, now, it is not surprising that the little prince stopped himself and Mandu Lai Agulhu, and that he wanted to kill himself and Mandu Lai Agulhu in the name of himself and Mandu Lai Agulhu killing his son. With blood hatred, he also rode his horse and shouted:
"Great Khan! Jinong was killed by the Ming Emperor. If you want to seek revenge, just go to the Ming Emperor. Why are you seeking revenge from us? What do we have to do with this!"
"You guys have nothing to do with it! One of you is the Shunzhong King of the Ming Dynasty, and the other is the Shunzhong King of the Ming Dynasty. Since you betrayed me, Dayuan, and became his lackey Zhu Houzhao! I will get rid of you two thieves first, and then fight with him Emperor Ming settles accounts!”
When the little prince said this, Yibuza and Mandu Lai Agulehu saw that they could not avoid the current situation of fighting with each other, so they first formed a formation and attacked the little prince's troops, hoping to take advantage of the fact that the little prince's foothold was not stable. Strike first!
The little prince's left-wing Mongolian cavalry has followed the little prince in the battles for the unification of left-wing Mongolia in recent years. They are more skilled in bow and horse and have rich combat experience. They are not afraid of the preemptive tactics of the Mongolian right wing and are very calm in dealing with it.
At that time, thousands of horses were galloping on the grassland where the remaining snow had not yet melted. The two wings of Mongolian cavalry drew their bows and urged their horses. They were fighting and entangled with each other, and they were inseparable for a while.
The right-wing Mongolians were supported by the Ming army's short crossbows and had hundreds of cavalry vanguards who were quite brave. They just brought up pieces of blood in the iron-barrel-like camp of the left-wing Mongolians.
However, at this time, the Chahar cavalry rushed over, and the thunderous sound of horse hooves sounded behind the Mongolian right wing.
At first, Yibula and Mandulai Agulehu thought that the Chahar cavalry was coming to help them. Therefore, they became more confident at first and shouted to the little prince:
"Great Khan! Admit defeat! Take your troops and retreat! With the weapons of the Ming Dynasty, and now the Chahar tribe has joined in, your left wing will definitely be defeated!"
The little prince sneered and continued to fight with the Mongolian right wing with his cavalry.
At this time, the cavalry of the Chahar Tribe was getting closer and closer, and directly attacked the back road of the Yibula Tuxie Tribe. Yibula couldn't help being frightened, and began to curse the leader of the Chahar Tribe:
"Keshiketeng, you traitor! You actually took refuge in the little prince!"
The little prince laughed wildly: "Hahaha! Yibula, Mandulai Agulehu! You are the real traitors of Dayuan! Now your death time has come! I will give you a chance, you can choose to kill yourself now, Otherwise, I will cut you into pieces, and then let the warriors on the left ravage your wives and children!”
Yibula and Mandu Lai Agulhu were naturally unwilling to commit suicide, so they could only gather their cavalry and charge forward.
In short, as soon as these Chahar cavalry joined, the Mongolian right-wing cavalry fell into a crisis of fighting on two fronts. For a while, the balance of victory in the war was already tilting towards the little prince!
……
With the help of Jin Yiwei's intelligence and his many years of experience in border towns, Qiu Yue actually appeared in the Darant Ligan area with 15,000 Ming cavalry at this time, and it was parallel to the previous battlefield where the left and right Mongolian wings were fighting. Not far away, and they have all gathered on a hillside near the battlefield. As long as they swoop down, it only takes two or three quarters of an hour to reach the battlefield, changing the situation of the battle and allowing the Mongolian right wing to survive.
However, Qiu Yue ordered the Ming Dynasty cavalry to stop at this time, and all of them hid on the opposite side of the hillside. Only one or two sentries were sent to observe the enemy's situation.
Zhang Lun, who was ordered by Zhu Houzhao to follow Qiu Yue to gain combat experience, was very puzzled when he saw this. He couldn't help asking Qiu Yue: "General Qiu, why don't we kill him immediately!" As this was his first time to go into battle to kill the enemy, Zhang Lun couldn't help but ask Qiu Yue: "General Qiu, why don't we kill him immediately!" Lun was very excited now and wished he could ride his horse and kill him right now.
However, Qiu Yue just lay down on the grass and fell asleep with his eyes squinted:
"No hurry! Killing them now will not do much good for Ming Dynasty. After the Tuxie and Ordos tribes are almost killed, we will kill them again. In this way, we can use the hands of the Tuxie and Ordos tribes to consume more of the Little Prince's tribe. You can also use the little prince's help to make the Tuxie and Ordos tribes lose more men;
In this case, the remaining Mongolian forces will not be able to recover in the next thirty years, and naturally the Ming Dynasty will be able to maintain peace for decades! It can also prevent the current brothers from dying! This is called fighting between snipe and clam! ”
Zhang Lun frowned. He did not expect that the seemingly rough General Qiu in front of him was actually as careful as his hair, and would have such despicable but deceitful thoughts. But in any case, as a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, , Zhang Lun had to admit that this was indeed the right thing to do.
It wasn't until the sentry came back that Yan Yongxie's and Ordos' troops were seriously injured and almost wanted to flee, that Qiu Yue stood up. At this time, Zhang Lun couldn't help but ask: "General Qiu, can we kill him now?" ”
"Don't worry, a cavalry charge is not a group fight between two groups of people. How can it be done without a formation? These are fifteen thousand cavalry, not fifteen thousand gangsters!"
Qiu Yue and Zhang Lun had a teacher-student relationship, so he couldn't help but say a few more words. He immediately rode over, looked at the scene of the Mongolian left and right wings fighting in front, and said to Zhang Lun:
"Master Zhang, look at that man! That man is the little prince! Their Great Khan of Dayuan! You take the imperial guard battalion to the front road and wait while I kill the cavalry first. At that time, the formation is bound to reverse, and the little prince's troops will inevitably be defeated. After their defeat, they will break through in your direction. You intercept and kill the little prince, and the Ming Dynasty can maintain peace for another twenty years."
As he spoke, Qiu Yue gave orders to other Ming cavalry officers, and then he held his big bow and charged towards the battlefield where the Mongolian cavalry was.
For a moment, the sparkling armor light was like a burning flame, shaking the ground so much that it roared!
More than 10,000 Ming cavalry show the style of Han men!
The short crossbow in his hand was like a snake spitting out a message, shooting clusters of sharp arrows in, piercing the void, and killing the Mongolian left-wing cavalry who was fighting with the Mongolian right-wing cavalry to the ground!
Originally, Yibula from the Tuxie Tribe and Mandu Lai Agulehu from the Ordos Tribe were already desperate. They watched helplessly as their cavalry had been killed and very few of them were left. They could only start with the remaining cavalry. They ran away like crazy, but they didn't expect to hear intensive shouts of killing coming from behind, and they were in Han language!
They understood it in a moment, and the two of them turned their heads almost at the same time. When they saw the dazzling bright banner appearing in the vast sky, they suddenly regained their fighting strength and charged towards the little prince's men again.
"The Ming army is coming, kill!"
He didn't even yell, he should be the first to kill him.
Like the hot lava erupting from the Flame Mountain, the Ming Dynasty's cavalry tore apart the formations of the Little Prince's and Chahar's cavalry, causing complete chaos in the rear!
All of a sudden, the situation turned around!
The Chahar tribe fell and retreated, evacuating toward the northeast to avoid being attacked by the Tuxie tribe, the Ordos tribe's cavalry and the Ming Dynasty cavalry who had recovered.
The little prince was shocked and furious when he saw this, but soon realized that something was wrong and began to become a little frightened. He wanted to evacuate, but at this time, it was not so easy to evacuate.
Caught off guard, the little prince was killed by the Ming cavalry and was defeated and fled.
The little prince came directly towards Zhang Lun with his remaining cavalry. Zhang Lun led the imperial guard battalion to kill him. The sound of killing was loud and frightened the little prince who was already frightened even more. The morale of the remaining soldiers of the little prince was There was chaos again, and thousands of people were killed and captured at one time!
The little prince still took advantage of the chaos and retreated to his home base of Wuhai Mountain. Zhang Lun became red-eyed for a moment and pursued him directly.
The little prince thought that when he returned to Wuhai Mountain, he could find an opportunity to regroup and defeat the Ming Dynasty cavalry and the Mongolian right wing. However, as soon as he returned to Wuhai Mountain, he found that his old lair was already covered with corpses and had been burned into rubble.
The little prince, who was hungry and thirsty for a while, could not get supplies, so his remaining soldiers could only kill horses to satisfy their hunger.
The little prince himself was even more furious. He didn't expect that Ming Dynasty would change his past behavior and steal his retreat. But at this time, he had no time to think too much, because Zhang Lun took advantage of his youth and just led the imperial guard camp. He caught up again, wiped out the last remaining soldiers of the little prince, and captured the little prince alive.
However, Zhang Lun no longer knew where he was, so he could only escort the little prince south. Finally, he arrived at Shenmu Castle and met Liu Meng, the right deputy governor of Yansui, the capital censor.
When Liu Meng saw that Zhang Lun only had 700 horses and was in rags, he instinctively asked: "You were defeated? Did His Majesty the Emperor defeat the expedition himself?"
Before Zhang Lun could say anything, Liu Meng immediately ordered his own soldiers to tell Ma Wensheng that His Majesty was defeated!
Bai Xian, the censor of Jigong, also immediately ran to Caikuan, saying that his majesty was defeated and he was afraid that he would not return from the northern hunting expedition.
For a time, more and more civil servants, northern officials and gentry and even the vassal kings were passing on the news that His Majesty's personal expedition was defeated and that he might be captured.
Perhaps the powerful gentry are more willing to believe and accept this result. They want Zhu Houzhao to die and they are almost going crazy!
Finally, even the capital also knew the news.
Officials such as Li Tiantian, the censor of the Thirteenth Road, Xu Zhen, etc. all rushed to tell each other: "Your Majesty's personal expedition outside the Great Wall was defeated! I'm afraid he didn't return from the northern expedition! It can be seen that the military and military warfare are not a blessing for the country, and it is not a blessing for the Ming Dynasty, woo woo! ”
