Come to Daming with military supplies

On the surface, he kept writing memorials to ask for help, but in his heart, he really scolded Shi Heng's nephew Shi Biao for eight generations.If it weren't for this person's insatiable greed, which eventually disrupted the cooperation between Beiming's business group and Wala, where would the border tensions and wars be raging?

When he thought that Ye Xian led the Oirat army to occupy the Hetao area and could force Datong Mansion at any time, Sun Hong couldn't help but have the urge to draw his sword to kill.

It's just that today's Shi Heng has won the trust of Zhu Qiyu, he has changed from Uncle Wu Qing to Marquis Wu Qing, and at the same time he is also the admiral of Beiming. A sense of powerlessness that doesn't come out.

And just when Hetao has become Oala's pocket, and it seems that Datong Mansion will usher in a big war at any time, or even lose it at any time, the other party suddenly stops.

The domineering Wala suddenly became so honest, which naturally somewhat exceeded Sun Hong's expectations.At first, he wondered if the other party was planning a big war, and was even preparing for the deployment of more Oirat cavalry to join the battle.But when he sent out all the scouts, the news he got was just the opposite.Not only did they not increase troops in the direction of Datong, but Hetao sent some cavalry to defend the Mongolian area in the northeast.

Could it be that something happened on the grassland?Or is Tuotuobuhua making a comeback?

Sun Hong was naturally aware of the matter of joining Agadorji to deal with Tutuobuhua before, and it was because of his clarity that he thought about it this way.Then he sent some scouts to go further afield to inquire about intelligence.After more than two months after this person was sent out, the news finally came back. The answer turned out to be that Lord Zhongdan suddenly appeared on the grassland, built a city of Shi, and fought successively with Agadorji and Mobei Mongolia. , and both win.

Sun Hong was originally the deputy commander-in-chief of Datong, and he has been guarding the frontier. He has only heard of Duke Zhongdan by his name and has never met him.But I have heard a lot about his glorious deeds. I also know that although this person is young, he has amazing business talents, especially when he leads troops to fight.

When the capital of the Northern Ming Dynasty was in critical condition, it was he who brought a small number of mercenaries and some people from the five cities of the capital to defeat the mighty Wala cavalry.Later, they gave in and gave in first, and the two sides had commercial and trade exchanges, which bought a lot of time for Beiming's development.

Later, there was a rebellion in the south of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and it was this loyal and courageous man who not only contained and eliminated the rebellion, but also successively captured the two small countries of Jiaozhi and Lancang, and established sub-provinces there.This action is clearly aimed at establishing a country on its own. It is said that this action has made many ministers in the court very angry, and many scriptures have been made, but in the end, it is like a stone sinking into the sea.

Sun Hong can understand this.After all, the two countries of Jiaozhi and Lancang are too far away from the Northern Ming Dynasty. If you want to send troops to suppress them, you have to go through the land of the Southern Ming Dynasty. How could Yingzong Zhu Qiyu agree?Not to mention, even if they really send troops, it is still unknown whether they can beat the mercenaries?

The turbulent wind and rain in the south made Beiming feel like a bed of pins and needles, but he had no choice but to say that this loyal and brave man is very powerful.But unexpectedly, he suddenly appeared in the grassland again, and in such a short period of time, he made such a big name there, which is really not to be underestimated.

Of course, Sun Hong, after understanding and knowing these things, was still a little happy in his heart.He is just a general of the Datong, although he is also in charge of the military power of [-] troops, but he is still a warrior, and it is difficult for the ministers in the court hall to learn about saints.He only has one acre of land in front of him in his eyes. As long as Datong is safe here, it means that he has fulfilled his duty.The appearance of Duke Zhongdan can deter Wala's troops, which is enough for his benefit.

Sun Hong was happy, but such important news still needs to be reported to the court.Immediately, he wrote the memorial and sent it to the capital of the Northern Ming Dynasty.Not long after that, Beiming also sent a decree, which was sent directly to Sun Hong and the guarding eunuch Zhang Quan.

Zhang Quan was an eunuch. During the civil engineering change, Guo Jing, the previous guardian eunuch, died in battle, so he was sent here to take his place.Compared with Sun Hong, this person has close ties with many eunuchs in the Northern Ming Dynasty. If he insists that he has a relationship with the higher-ups, Sun Hong may still be inferior by more than one level.

The decree was issued to the effect that Sun Hong and Zhang Quan should find a way to get in touch with Lord Zhongdan, and let him contribute to the chaos on the frontier of the Northern Ming Dynasty. The military power of the mercenaries should also be handed over at the same time.

Regarding the emperor's will, Sun Hong and Zhang Quan shook their heads in unison after reading it.

Who is Zhongdan Gong?Could it be that he is so easy to get along with, does he really treat him as an ordinary courtier of the Ming Dynasty?

Just because he was able to defeat Agadorji's [-] cavalry successively, and also killed the Mobei Mongolian cavalry had to cross the Yinma River to avoid the sharp edge, just from these two points, how could they be inferior The subordinates, with a Datong Mansion, only have [-] troops, why should they let the other party bow their heads, let alone hand over their military power.

Sun Hong had no better way, and Zhang Quan also had the same idea in his heart.

Scholars in the Ming Dynasty held together very well, and sometimes important ministers worked together for their own interests, often forcing the emperor to give in. Under such circumstances, the development and growth of eunuchs became an inevitable trend .

In order to strike a balance, both Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Qiyu chose the same method, which is to promote and reuse eunuchs to suppress the development of literati.Under such circumstances, the authority of the eunuch group is getting heavier and heavier, and it has reached a point where few civil servants dare not give face.Even in Datong Mansion, Sun Hong, the general soldier, often had to look at the face of Zhang Quan, the guarding eunuch.

Eunuchs are very threatening to ordinary courtiers, but there are exceptions.For example, Yang Chendong, the loyal and brave man, is the most typical representative among them.

I heard that when he first became Duke Zhongdan, any eunuch who dared to call himself the Duke would be dealt with by Yang Chendong, the real Duke.However, the eunuch group after the incident still had nothing to do with him. Based on this, Zhang Quan's power was completely ignored by the other party.

Sun Hong lamented, and so did Zhang Quan. Both of them looked sad, but since the emperor made a decree, he had to complete it. After much deliberation, Zhang Quan decided to go to Shicheng to see it with his own eyes. Looking at the situation there, it is good to have an explanation to the higher authorities.

Zhang Quan was willing to go forward, Sun Hong was naturally very happy, and immediately decided to send a thousand households Xu Deyi to escort him all the way with the troops from the headquarters to ensure his safety.Then a cavalry team of more than a thousand people left Datong and went all the way to the northeast.

Zhang Quan came, no matter whether he had the idea of ​​finding out or wanting to find out the truth, Yang Chendong didn't care too much for the time being.One of the big reasons why Shicheng must be established is that it shocked the Northern Ming court.

Chapter 751 Preparing to Build the First Army

The establishment of the two provinces of Vietnam and Laos indirectly equals to tearing face with Beiming and Nanming, but anyone who understands can see his ambition.It's just that because of the strength he showed, he didn't want to act rashly.

In the eyes of others, this is already enough to be proud of, but it is far from enough in Yang Chendong's eyes.He didn't forget that he was in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and there were two wives staying there.At the beginning, it was also to be a hostage, to prevent the Northern Ming Emperor Zhu Qiyu from being suspicious of himself.Not to mention, several of my elder brothers and sisters are also in the capital of the Beijing Ming Dynasty. The existence of these people is usually invisible, but on the day when I really tear my skin, they may become my weakness.

The Security Bureau has already sent the news that whether it is the Immortal Residence in the capital, or the mansion of Tianwaitian and his brothers and sisters, or even outside Yangjiazhuang, fifteen miles south of the city, Jinyiwei spies are often seen .By staring at these people, they are sending a signal to Yang Chendong, don't go too far, otherwise, accidents may happen to these relatives at any time.

With these Jin Yiwei watching, even if Yang Chendong wanted to send these relatives out of the Beijing Normal University at the same time, he couldn't do it.For the safety of his family and to give Beiming sufficient deterrence, Yang Chendong chose to build a city in the northeast of Beiming, that is Shicheng.

This place is not like the south of Nanming, where countries of any size can be conquered by him to form enough influence.That being the case, he will re-establish a city here, own a side of power, and threaten the Northern Ming court not to dare to do anything to his relatives.

The establishment of Shicheng did not violate Yang Chendong's original intention of coming here.Its construction and existence have indeed effectively deterred the Wara Department. According to the news from the Security Bureau, it has become much more honest now. After occupying the Hetao area, it did not launch an offensive against the Datong Mansion, and achieved its original strategic goal. , Maintaining the balance between Beiming and the grassland ministries.

Now, what needs to be done is to build Shicheng even stronger, so that no one or any force dares to make plans for it at will.As long as Shicheng exists for one day, it will form a great deterrent to all surrounding forces. After a long time, this kind of deterrence will achieve the goal of defeating others without fighting, at least far more than before It's easy to deal with a lot.

This was originally a complementary relationship.The development of Shicheng has now become the top priority in Yang Chendong's eyes.

Of course, establishing and developing Shicheng is only the first step.Next, Yang Chendong needs to do more things, such as continue to expand his territory and influence.For the huge purpose of the Han people walking on top of the world in the future, neither the Northern Ming Dynasty nor the Southern Ming Dynasty, Yang Chendong has any intention of conquering by force now, and it is even possible to avoid large-scale force siege in the future.However, he didn't have so many worries when conquering lands other than Northern Daming.

Here comes the question, since you want to expand, who should you choose as the next military target?After thinking about it, Yang Chendong set his sights on the northeast, on the land of Russia under the rule of the Golden Horde.

The Golden Horde is the only gold family with the purest blood in the few remaining Mongolian forces.If they can be taken down, it will be of great significance whether it is to expand their power or to deter them.Think about it, even your Mongolian Golden Family was defeated by mercenaries. In a psychological sense, isn't it true that mercenaries are invincible?

An important reason for Yang Chendong to make this decision is that after more than 200 years of development, the Golden Horde is no longer as powerful as it was before.Now is the time to go downhill.According to the development of history, even if you don't have to do it yourself, it will take 20 years for the Golden Horde to be wiped out by Russia's emerging forces.

Even so, there is nothing to worry about.Taking advantage of his illness to kill him is the best time to make a move.

In order to achieve the goal of severely injuring or even eliminating the Golden Horde, Yang Chendong has already begun to formally consider which army will start the expedition from Shicheng.

Ordinarily speaking, for the expedition, the best person to command the army is himself. He did not know how many times he went there in his last life to complete the mission. He is very familiar with the language there, and he has a better grasp of some situations and terrain there than others. many.It's just that the city was just built and hasn't experienced the test of a cold winter, so he's going away now, and he's really worried.

In addition, the expeditionary army had to travel thousands of miles to face the enemy for the first time, and making meritorious deeds did not happen overnight. Even if he went now, he might not make meritorious deeds immediately.Then it is better to send other troops to go first, that is, to explore the way, but also to take the opportunity to find the inadequacies in the army.

But even sending troops, facing a behemoth like the Golden Horde, the insufficient strength of the troops sent would only add to the laughing stock.After much deliberation, Yang Chendong decided to send Leng Feng's third division to the front line.

Leng Feng's third division mainly uses the ninety-five style, and there are sharp weapons such as the seven-shot steel crossbow in melee combat. The quality of individual soldiers is also very good.Coupled with the cooperation of the teacher Wu Sheng and the political commissar Chen Bo for a long time, the strengths and advantages of the two can complement each other, which is enough to ensure that they will deal with the problem calmly under any circumstances and will not rush into it easily.No matter how you look at it, sending them to the expedition is the most suitable candidate.

Of course, just one Leng Feng Third Division was not enough, and a Jurchen cavalry regiment was also added.In this way, the number of troops reached [-], which is enough to deal with the encirclement and fortified battles of some large armies.

The reason why the Jurchen cavalry regiment was sent, not other cavalry regiments.That's because the so-called Mongolian Golden Family can bring a lot of pressure to many Mongolian troops, but only when facing the Jurchen, that pressure will be minimized. On the contrary, because of so many years of suppression, the two sides have long since It's like fire and water.Only by sending out the Jurchen cavalry regiment can they exert stronger combat power. For them, this can be regarded as a battle of revenge. Why don't they use all their strength?

With a decision in mind, Yang Chendong began to personally train the Leng Feng Third Division and the Jurchen Cavalry Regiment.In particular, some more advanced guiding opinions are given on how to fight outside of freezing weather and heavy snow.He even took out the snowboards. The snowboards he made himself came in handy after the first heavy snow fell on the grassland at the end of October and early November.

Yang Chendong stepped on the snowboard with both feet, walking on the snow, his light posture and extreme speed made everyone stunned.

The bicycle appeared first, and the sixth young master was the one who rode the smoothest.The next snowboard was invented and demonstrated by Master Six, which made everyone feel more admiration for Yang Chendong.They wanted to ask in their hearts, is there anything in this world that their sixth young master can't do?

In the land of ice and snow, with snowboards, the army can walk faster. Not only that, when another batch of supplies arrives, when many white cloaks appear, Yang Chendong puts them on his body, and the whole person seems to be In an instant, he merged into the white snow.

This kind of cloak is far less bulky and eye-catching than the cloak worn by officers above the regiment.But it happens to be the best camouflage tool to cover up the figure.If the enemy hadn't been staring at it on purpose, or had intelligence news long ago, I'm afraid few people would be able to find out even if they swiped past under their noses.

"Okay, we have all the equipment, and then you can use it to train. When the training is completed and when the army sets out, I will personally see you off." Yang Chendong patted Wu Sheng, Chen Bo and others shoulder, turned around and walked out of the training ground.

Wu Sheng and Chen Bo were very excited about Yang Chendong's favor and allowing them to lead the army alone.

Speaking of which, from Leng Feng's Third Regiment to Third Division, they have always followed Yang Chendong's side during their growth.To say that they fought and won many battles, might as well say that the Sixth Young Master commanded them well and made a good battle plan.

And now, the chicks can finally fly freely in the sky, how could the two of them not be excited?

This is not to say that they don't want to be under Yang Chendong's command anymore, but that they want to prove their abilities more.It has already been reported that Leng Feng has considered building an army.And it is very likely that the first army was established in Chixian City, the rear base camp.

The first army commander will also be the former commander of the first division, Leng Song.Now that the army is about to be built, neither Wu Sheng nor Chen Bo's eyes will be limited to the position of division commander and political commissar. They also want to take a step forward and change from division commander to army commander.

To achieve this goal, they need to work harder and gain more military merit.And this freedom to command operations is the time to exert their full capabilities.In order to achieve this goal, just as Yang Chendong left the training barracks, Wu Sheng's voice came out, "Practice hard for me, practice to the death, and strive to be familiar with the use of snowboards one day earlier and make achievements."
