Chapter 507: Solve the Hudun Rabbit
The biggest disaster for the Ming Empire was the generation of a large number of refugees and social unrest, which can also be called domestic conflicts.
The main method to transfer domestic conflicts is foreign wars. Of course the emperor knew about it and was constantly implementing it.
But the benefits of foreign wars are necessary, otherwise, it will aggravate social conflicts and become more serious.
The emperor has not been in the war against Hudun Rabbit for a long time. On the one hand, he wants to take the opportunity to conquer the right-wing Mongolian tribes, and on the other hand, he does not want to bear the burden too early.
That's right, if nomadic people could survive by eating cattle and sheep during the disaster, they wouldn't have starved to death after Chongzhen stopped the market and rewarded him in history.
In other words, after conquering the Mongolian tribes, the court would take responsibility for these Ming people. For example, disaster relief, there were quite a few food supplies.
But choosing this opportunity to conquer Mongolian tribes is the easiest and the least expensive.
The two evils were the least. After estimating the finances of the court, the emperor decided to take action to solve Mongolia in the south of the desert once and for all.
It is a matter of time to collide with the rising Maoist country in the north. The emperor is expected to be in his fifties, if the Ming army can continue to advance to the north.
Therefore, it takes decades to conquer Mongolia in the south of the desert, Mongolia in the west of the desert and Mongolia in the north of the desert.
Of course, it is not about fighting every year, resting and fighting, and pushing the territory of the Ming Dynasty northward and to the North Pole with unswerving advancement and management!
This is not a delusion. With the current Ming army's weapons, equipment and combat power, as long as the logistics can keep up, it will not be a problem to fight all over the world.
The key is that the number of people is there. If we really organize it, millions of troops are no problem.
Just when the Ming army was ready to take action and attack Chahar's troops, the Hudun Rabbit had not yet noticed it and had entered the right-wing Mongolia and began the "unification" cause of autumn wind swept away fallen leaves.
Hudun Rabbit’s judgment was correct. The right-wing Mongolian tribes that enjoyed comfort did indeed degenerate seriously and were no match for the men he led.
First, the Halashen tribe, who was stationed in the former place of Shangdu of Xuanfu, was defeated, and then the Tumote tribe in Guihua City. After these two battles, the Huduntu tribe had established a foothold on the right wing.
But Hudun Rabbit was not satisfied and continued to attack. Shunyi King Bustu (son of Tumot Altan Khan) was defeated again and fled in panic.
Jinon Elinchen, who was stationed in Ordos and represented the Khan in the right-wing management, was also defeated and abolished by Huduntu.
The continuous victory made Hu Dun Tu proud, believing that his decision to make the Western Expedition wise and decisive, and the great cause of unifying the Mongolian tribes, finally saw the dawn.
They are all Mongolians, and if they can't beat them, they will surrender. If you think about Hudun Rabbit, it should be the best choice.
But what made him feel depressed was that the defeated Halashen, Tumote and other tribes either went to Mobei or surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, but they did not surrender to him.
But the Western Expedition achieved great results. Huduntu annexed many tribes of various tribes, spread horses to Guihua City, and sent ministers Guiying to seek rewards from the Ming court.
According to the established plan, the generals and officials of Daming Border Town sent Guiying to the capital on the grounds that they did not dare to make a decision and talk to the emperor!
With a slowdown, the three-sided governor Sun Chuanting and Xuanda Governor Zhu Tongmeng prepared for the war intensively. In addition to the already trained Ming army, he also gathered the defeated troops of Halashen and Tumote and other troops and organized Mongolian troops to counterattack Huduntu.
The Liaodong War Zone first launched the three divisions, Yang Guozhu, Kong Youde and Sun Zushou, a total of 6,000 cavalry, and the naturalized Neikhal tribes, launched an attack on the remaining Chahar tribes who were left behind in Liaohetao.
In fact, the western expedition of Hudun Rabbit means the beginning of the collapse of the Chahar tribe. Haoqit, Wuzhumuqin, and Sunit Sanoutok, who were already dissatisfied with it, took the opportunity to go north to seek refuge in Karkhashuolei Taiji (Checchen Khan).
The Naiman and Aohan and the two Ottok who were left behind in the old place surrendered and naturalized when they saw the Ming army attacking. Alakjot also followed in the footsteps to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
At this point, Hudun Rabbit has lost his old place and base. Although he has basically pacified the right wing area, he has lost his left wing only in the Hetao and Tumochuan areas west of Xuanfu.
"It's finally time to deal with the Mongolian Khan Hudun Rabbit!"
The emperor sat in the Ganqing Palace and felt emotion in his heart as Xiong Tingbi reported on the preparations of each department.
"Zhu Tongmeng, Governor of Xuanda, received 40,000 Mongolian tribes and summoned 5,000 troops; Sun Chuanting, Governor of the Trilateral, received 30,000 troops, summoned 3,000 troops; Yang Guozhu, the general of the Mongolian tribes and summoned 20,000 troops, totaling 13,000 Mongolian soldiers..."
The Mongolian Khan Tiger Dun Rabbit, who was not nominally attached, surrendered to the Ming court and became a naturalized person. The tribes were also very active in the counterattack and invading Tiger Dun Rabbit.
As for the current numbers, the Meng soldiers attacking Huduntu had more than 20,000. Adding to the three sides, Xuanda and the tens of thousands of Ming troops in Liaodong, Huduntu was no longer an opponent.
After Xiong Tingbi finished his report, he bowed and waited for the emperor's decision.
"Since you're ready, then start to act!" The emperor's voice echoed in the hall, mature and low, "I asked the Ministry of Rites to send Guiying away, which also eliminated the thoughts of Hudun Rabbit."
After pausing, the emperor continued to add: "Turning the tiger, the rabbit, and the rabbit invaded the border is a plan that has been formulated long ago, and all border towns are also said to be well prepared. If we hurt our people in the Ming Dynasty, it will be a dereliction of duty. I will demote the crime and punish the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War will write a document to strictly apply this point."
"I obey the order." Xiong Tingbi bowed his head, his gray hair was already very obvious.
The emperor's eyes flashed and he sighed secretly in his heart.
Yuan Keli, Sun Chengzong and others returned to their hometown to support themselves, while Xiong Tingbi and others grew older. Although the ministers they rely on were from generation to generation, they were not as easy as these old ministers.
"Defeat the Hudun Rabbit and conquer the Mongolian tribes, the north should be able to calm down for a few years." The emperor said with a gentle voice: "Xiong Qing can also have a good rest."
"I am still strong in my heart, thank you for your care."
Xiong Tingbi bowed to thank him, but thought to himself: It’s not that the nomadic peoples in the north will not stop, but that’s how long you will always be your will to expand your territory! Moreover, the conquests of the north, the south, the overseas, the navy and the army will not stop.
I also want to take a break, be a foolish monarch who eats, drinks and has fun, and stay freely and freely until death.
But the national strength is so strong and the military is strong. If you don’t take advantage of this time to expand your territory and gain more and broader living space for the people of the Ming Dynasty, who knows whether there will be a prodigal son in the future and will ruin my efforts!
