Chapter 1023 The situation in Jizijuan suddenly changes
pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, Zaisai's face was gloomy and his eyes were calm. From time to time, he tapped his fingers on the desk beside him, as if this could help enlighten his thoughts.
Unexpectedly, Bilingu and Zhuangtu would bring back such an answer, which made it difficult for him to make a decision.
Bilingu is the most valued person in Zaisai, and Zhuangtu is also a somewhat knowledgeable character in the five inner kalkhas. In addition, the Zalutu tribe has suffered a heavy setback this time, and Bayandar Ileden realized this. A little, take the initiative to let Zhuangtu move closer to him.
Zaisai also intended to twist the five tribes of Inner Khalkha into one rope and strengthen the strength of Inner Khalkha so that it can fight against the Chahar people, Jianzhou Jurchens and Outer Khalkha tribes in the future. We are of the same mind, so we don’t care about past grudges.
Originally I thought that Bi Lingtu and Zhuang Tu would go to see Busia Mara and have a good talk, but unexpectedly the other party asked Bi Lingtu and Zhuang Tu to bring back the conditions.
“What do you think of the conditions proposed by the other party?”
Bilingu and Zhuangtu both felt that the "other party" in Zasai's words did not seem to refer to Busia Mara or Ye Hebu, but to something else, and they were stunned for a moment.
Still better than Lingtu in understanding Zasai’s meaning, he hesitated for a moment: “Zaisai, are you saying that it was Feng’s idea to send the message through Busia Mara?”
"What qualifications does Bushiya Mara have to participate in such a thing?" Zaisai smiled contemptuously, "But the Yehe tribe can be regarded as our grassland tribe, and the other party wants to use her mouth to avoid suspicion. It doesn't matter if it's fifty thousand taels." , whether it is 80,000 taels, as Bushiya Mara said, it is indeed not important. Don’t you understand the meaning revealed by the other party? In the future, they can directly deal with our five inner Khalkha tribes in Liaodong Town and even within the pass. There is no need for Jianzhou Jurchens or Chahar people to come and ask."
Zhuangtu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, somewhat unwillingly.
50,000 to 80,000 taels of silver is not important?
Why is it not important?
How much silk, tea, cloth, salt, and iron can be exchanged? It’s not a small sum for any tribe.
When Bushiyamala said that 50,000 taels of silver were packaged to buy out 50,000 lowered soldiers, they both almost jumped up, thinking that Busiyamala was crazy because they expected to get 50,000 from these 50,000 soldiers. As for one million taels of silver, the gap is too big.
But when Bushiyamala slowly explained the truth one by one, both the rabbit and the rabbit fell into deep thought.
Being chosen by Zaisai to contact and negotiate with Busia Mara, the two of them have much better vision and knowledge than other people of the same age in the five films. Therefore, they do not think that Busia Mara is just talking nonsense, but they feel that it is quite remarkable. reason.
These 50,000 people cannot be brought back to the grassland.
Not to mention tens of thousands of people crossing mountains and ridges, and they are unwilling to harbor resistance, which could cause trouble and be self-defeating.
Moreover, this group of people is neither valuable nor necessary, and also has daily expenses. They were not aware of it before, but when Bushiyamala mentioned it, the two of them understood it.
Every day costs hundreds or even thousands of taels of silver. If you stay on the grassland for a month, tens of thousands of taels of silver will be turned into water. What if you really can't get the ransom?
"Zaisai, I think what Bushiya Mara said makes sense. These people are not farmers. They don't know how to farm and raise sheep, and they don't know how to make leather, armor, and iron. Many of them can't even ride a horse. Ours One warrior can defeat ten of them, but isn’t 80,000 taels of silver too cheap?”
Besides, I can understand this truth, but the gap from the previous million ransom is too big, and Bi Lingtu is a little hard to accept it.
"The Han people have a saying, those who are content are always happy. We came south to seek wealth. We originally thought we would not be able to return until November. If we can end the war and return to the grassland now, our livestock and horses can be preserved to the maximum extent. , Didn’t Bushiya Mara also say that? The armors and weapons of more than 50,000 people, as well as hundreds of carts pulling baggage, are all top-quality goods. These alone are worth almost a million taels. , peel off a set of clothes for each person, and take them back to the servants of the clan, which will also make them smile with joy. There are also their horses, which are a little worse, but they are still worth a few. This Lin Lin finally got it down, which is enough. Already..."
Zaisai smiled proudly, "This does not include the hundreds of generals and officers. Most of them are martial arts disciples. I have calculated that there are a lot of deputy generals, staff generals, guerrillas, and generals. There are not even five Don’t even think about going back with 100,000 taels of silver. If you add in those officers such as the garrison, commander, qian, and sentry officers, you can squeeze out another 300,000 taels of silver for me, right?"
After a conversation, Lingtu and Zhuangtu both had their eyes turned red. This is almost a profit of two million taels of silver. If they had not decisively abandoned Qian'an and diverted to attack Santun camp, how could there have been any So rewarding?
“In addition, there are one or two thousand craftsmen and farmers inside and outside Santunying Town. I have asked the captain to lead a team to **** these people back to the grassland first. These are urgently needed on our grassland..."
"Zhuangtu, I have told your father that these people can be counted when the time comes. If your Zarut department wants these craftsmen, there is no problem. They can all be counted according to everyone's contribution and losses in the entire harvest. After all, since I, Zaisai, am leading you south this time, and my great-uncle also supports me in taking on this role, I will not be biased, and I can come up with anything and talk about it face to face,..."
Zaisai waved his hand, and Zhuangtu calmed down.
This craftsman is the most valued in every tribe, especially the blacksmith who forges weapons, the carpenter who makes vehicles, and the tanner who makes leather. They are all the most scarce among the tribes on the grassland. Even ordinary farmers, there are many on the grassland. The place can be cultivated and is also very popular.
But the Mongols are not very good at this, and they still have to rely more on the few Han people. But most of the Han people are unwilling to come to the bitter cold grasslands, so every time they invade south, the most important thing is to rob these people, even more than ordinary goods. More in demand.
"Zaisai, what's the reply from Bushiya Mara?" He is more concerned about this than Lingtu. Although after winning the battle of Santun Camp, Zaisai's prestige has risen to a very high level. The negative impact of the Battle of Qian'an has been wiped out. Hongji Labu may be able to get the biggest profit after returning this time, but he feels that Zaisai does not seem to value these interests in front of him so much. Instead, he cares about Busia. The man named Feng behind Mara was more interested.
Previously, he thought it was because Zasai still had feelings for Bushiyamala, but now it seemed that was not the case. Zasai had a longer-term plan.
“I plan to meet the man named Feng behind Busia Mara.” Zasai thought for a while before saying.
Bi Ling Rabbit and Zhuang Rabbit were both surprised, "How can this be done?"
"What can't be done?" Zaisai said calmly: "The opponent has already drawn a path. Don't the warriors on the grassland dare to move in a row? But don't worry, I will have a complete plan and will not make any mistakes. If you want to throw yourself into a trap, of course I also believe that the other party will feel that a Zaisai with more appeal on the grassland will be more valuable and meaningful than the Zaisai he captured."
******
When Feng Ziying received Zaisai's reply, she was discussing military affairs with Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu and Hou Chengzu.
The news came from You Shilu of Ji Town.
The situation is worse than imagined.
Originally, I thought it was appalling for the Inner Khalkhas to annihilate the Jingying camp in one fell swoop, but I didn't expect that the situation at Shuntian Prefecture would be even worse.
The Chahar people broke through from the front of Shuntian Prefecture in two groups. The Modaoyu Shuiguan was defeated by the main Chahar army led by Lindan Batur. Then the Chahar people broke through several city walls overnight and the army entered the pass in one fell swoop. , Fortunately, You Shigong deployed heavy troops in Zhenlu Camp. The two sides fought fiercely from Qiangziling to Zhenlu Camp and to both sides of the Lu River.
The other group of Chahar people tried to break through from Gubeikou, but they were resolutely blocked by the Jizhen Army. They suffered heavy losses and were unable to break through.
But I never expected that the problem did not lie with Ji Town, but with Xuanfu Town.
The coalition forces of Outer Khalkha and Chahar played a trick in Heihanling. They used a force to feint to attack Mutianyu and reach the Dashui Valley line, attracting the attention of the Zhou army.
The main force of the Outer Khalkha and Chahar coalition forces quietly broke through from the Thursday ditch in Xuanfu Town, and then crossed the Qingshui River overnight to raid Yongning.
Because they were completely unprepared, the information they received was that the Outer Khalkha people were on the line from Mutianyu to Dashui Valley, but they did not expect that they would appear in Shuigou, a hundred miles away, and attack Yongning in one fell swoop. The entire Yanqing Prefecture and Yanqing Left Wei fell into chaos.
But Niu Jizong, the governor of Xuanda, was still in Yanqing Guard and knew nothing about it. By the time he got the news, it was already too late.
The coalition forces of Outer Khalkha and Chahar did not stay in Yanqing Prefecture, but crossed the Inner Great Wall and attacked Huairou eastward from Huanghua Town, causing the entire northern defense line to shake.
Ji Town did not expect that the enemy did not come in from outside the border wall, but attacked from behind. Caught off guard, the battle situation reversed. Chahar's army that was pretending to attack also took the opportunity to break through and enter. The entire northern defense line was in turmoil.
The fall of Huairou led to the reunification of the Chahar right army and the Western route army dominated by the Outer Khalkha people, which caused a shock in the entire capital, and also led to the conflict between Chahar and Chahar at the Zhenlu camp and Qiangziling line. The Jizhen Army, which was fighting fiercely with your left army, was in danger of being attacked from both sides.
Now You Shigong can only rely on the Miyun front line to block the Chahar and Waikarkha people who have joined forces, so that You Shilu's troops can quickly break away from the Zhenlu camp and Qiangziling line, retreat southward, and rely on Changping, Shunyi, and A line of defense was established in Pinggu.
This news stunned everyone, including Feng Ziying, Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong and Hou Chengzu. It meant that Dazhou had voluntarily abandoned Huairu and Miyun counties, and the entire northern part of the capital had become a land of Chahar and foreigners. The hunting ground of the Khalkhas.
Continue to ask for support!
