Chapter 369 Saibei
After the angel left, Jizhen seemed to have been overnight. The Qi family army guarding the important areas of the capital could empathize with the Grand Marshal Qi, who was holding his energy in his heart, waiting for something.
For a month, the number of precise single-digit chariots, bird guns, tiger squat cannons, Buddha wolf machines and various types of ammunition were distributed to all border areas, pointing out a clear path for the arrogant generals who drew their swords and looked around.
There are four fortresses at the gates, and 512 sets of bird gun walls, and the chariots of the Buddha Wolf Machine Wall are distributed in four routes. It is not difficult to see the Hummers lined up in neat formations and galloping across the border. Behind the horses and soldiers, mules and horses dragging tigers and squatting cannons through the official road, which is the most conspicuous sign of the Qi family army.
Even officials from all walks of life and the capital had felt that the atmosphere in northern Xinjiang had changed.
In the past, when I met soldiers from the Qi family on the way, regardless of civil and military officials, the soldiers would have heavy responsibilities and would dismount regardless of whether they were straight or straight, and would gallop again when the civil and military officials passed by. Now it is different. Even if there are big and small matters, the Qi family army along the way carried flags and gongs and drums, even if the second-rank officials did not avoid them in person, they would just pass them.
No one who often lives in the capital knows that this is the action of the Qi family army entering a wartime state.
Qi Jiguang was indeed preparing for a war... Among the imperial generals, Qi Jiguang had never been very supportive of starting a war against Mongolia, but he had been preparing to meet the Mongolian army on the battlefield.
This is not contradictory. In Qi Jiguang's concept, without the three Guyanha guards, the court could not go into full war with Mongolia.
Or it is actually nothing to do with the three Guyanha Guards, and in that land, that land is the depth of the capital. The Ming Dynasty could not accept the full war in the north and the war was besieged by Beijing.
But if it was a war against Urianha, Qi Jiguang would fully support it. Although his support in general is far less powerful than that of the Ministry of Revenue, he would have the support of the emperor... that would be different.
The emperor's support was simple and crude: Mr. Qi said that building a house would allow him to clean up the three guards. Well, ask the Ministry of War for money to build a house.
Qi Jiguang asked for 300,000 taels of silver a year, totaling 600,000 taels to repair the old city along the way north until the Tuman and Urianha three guards were all under the control of the imperial court.
The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue were still difficult to decide on how much silver to allocate, but the opportunity appeared outside the Great Wall first. Qi Jiguang received an urgent report from his subordinates: the leader of the Kalaqin tribe, the general of the governor, the general of Jinwu, Qing, the son-in-law of Duoyan, the chief of the younger brother, the assistant commander, the assistant commander, the assistant of the commander, the five major Taiji, and the five guards and cavalry knocked over more than 200.
There is no airtight wall in this world, especially on the northern border where trade exchanges are increasingly prosperous. Qi Jiguang's moves are easily worried about the lords of Tumot Yongsebwanhu.
Qingbadu seemed a little impatient when he saw Qi Jiguang. After posing three divine horses on the hem of the Great Wall, he immediately hoped that Qi Jiguang could tell them the purpose of using troops.
They all fought with Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang. To them, Qi Jiguang was much scarier than Li Chengliang. Li Chengliang was an invincible opponent. Qi Jiguang was the person they least wanted to be an opponent on this land.
Because no one could break through Qi Jiguang's defense line, and because Tumen Khan had not even broken through a pier fort, he was surrounded by a car formation.
In their eyes, the "misunderstanding" that did not have a large-scale war or even could not be called a war can only be described as a magical plan.
How could Qi Jiguang know in advance that Tumen Khan was going to attack Qingshankou? Three Ming troops from different passes were besieging Tumen Khan on the mountain road at the best time. There would be no such coincidence in the world.
The first possibility is that the news leaked when Tumen Khan was preparing for the battle, but the pre-war preparation time of Khan was very short, and there were no merchants entering and leaving Chahar during that period, so it would be the second possibility that Qi Jiguang's car camp received the news on the way out of the border and gave up his original purpose to support Qingshankou.
So, who did Qi Jiguang originally wanted to attack?
This answer has worried everyone.
The old worries have not yet ended, and new worries have come again. Qi Jiguang's troops are even more powerful this time, so the momentum has spread to the grassland.
Who is not afraid?
Tumen Khan's reputation had just been greatly reduced due to "misunderstanding". Altan Khan, who had the most powerful troops, was lying on his bed again. At this time, let alone Qi Jiguang was really moving troops, even if it was just news that he was going to move troops, tens of thousands of households like them would lead their tribes to move north and would not have the desire to resist at all.
But even if they ran to the Great Wall in person, how could Qi Jiguang tell them the answer? He just invited all these leaders into the pass and met them alone to find out what they wanted.
The result made Qi Jiguang overjoyed.
The military power and the biggest official position of Qingbadu Taiji wanted very simple. He hoped that the Ming army's target was his neighbor Su Yehai; he had three younger brothers, and both of them looked unaware of their own tribe and only wanted to protect their own tribe. The other younger brother was even more interesting. He hoped that the Ming army would attack his elder brother Qingbadu. If Qi Jiguang was willing to fight, his subordinates would participate in the battle to help Qi Jiguang at any time.
The most interesting thing about Chang'ang of Duoyan's tribe is that he came to wander around. He and his uncle Changtu were defeated by Qi Jiguang before. In order to redeem his uncle, he had already made a vow to never attack the Ming Dynasty. So no matter who he beats, as long as the Ming army is willing to share his spoils, he will take it.
It was very easy for everyone to reach a consensus: all ministries are willing to cut down, collect wood and stone for Qi Jiguang to build the piers in exchange for the tribe's peace and some of the rations needed for the winter this year.
The budget for repairing the pier seems to have been greatly reduced.
However, he did not expect that Qi Jiguang and several leaders sent letters to the court. In addition to 90,000 pieces of Beiyang Army rations, those who arrived in Jizhen also announced these letters to the Tuman tribe and Urianha tribes.
Before Qi Jiguang left the frontier, the fighting started on the grassland... The chief of Taining tribe Suyehai immediately declared war on Qingbadutaiji when he saw the letter. The chain reaction brought about by this action caused chaos in the eastern part of the grassland.
Tumen Khan convened his troops to raise 20,000 troops to declare war on the Ming Dynasty in the name of the Tuman tribe; Man Wu So Taiji, Man Wu Da Taiji, and Man Wu Da Taiji, assisting his brother Chang Qing Badu; their other brother, Habu Xiao Taiji, was announced to be empty because of his desire to covet the leader of the Kalaqin tribe, betrayed his blood relationship and quickly formed an alliance with the Tuman tribe, and led his army to attack Qing Badu.
Chang'ang led his army to sweep across the horse farm of Habuyan Taiji without hesitation to help Qingbadu, who was attacked.
Under such a situation, Qi Jiguang, who was both angry and funny, had no other choice. He led his army out of the frontier according to the emperor's order to rush to assist Duoyan's troops who had re-attached the Ming Dynasty.
