The title of the Great Khan of the thirty-five generations of the Mongolian Empire recognized by the herdsmen on the lindan Khan grassland alone is as long as 35 words. Its full name is: Hutuktu Saint Wu Genghis Daming Xue Chan is invincible and incomparably great. Chakravardi Taizong's heaven, the Jade Emperor of the universe turns into the king of the Golden Wheel Dharma. He has a bad memory and can't be recited generally.
Before its birth, the Chahar tribe in Mongolia had been declining for a long time. They were only nominal co owners on the grassland, but they were still gods in the eyes of ordinary herdsmen, but if they were powerful tribal leaders, they were just a nominal master and could not command them at all.
Even when Lin Dan Khan succeeded to the throne at the age of ten, officials of the Ming Dynasty did not think highly of him. They all thought that he was no different from the previous great Khan. He was a puppet.
But when he became a Khan for ten years, he showed his extraordinary strength. Most of the major tribes on the grassland obeyed him.
Just when Lin Dan Khan wanted to do something, the aggressive JianNu rising in the northeast not only seized Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty, but also many Mongolian territories, which caused a great blow to his authority.
The once invincible Mongolian cavalry also retreated against the heavily armored infantry in Manchuria. Under the joint attack of JianNu's solicitation, division and amity, lindan Khan's power began to decline. As a last resort, he chose to unite with the Ming Dynasty to jointly deal with the enemy's JianNu, but they could not resist the means of JianNu. Under the repeated coercion of JianNu, Lin Dan Khan of Chahar also retreated. He was forced to give up his headquarters and plan to flee to Qinghai.
If the Chinese army had not suddenly risen and occupied southern Liaoning, I'm afraid he would have to flee to the West.
The Chinese army suddenly rose and occupied southern Liaoning. It beat JianNu and retreated day by day. It also robbed a lot of Daming territory, making the already complex situation more complex. However, Lin Danhan thought that the situation was unprecedented good. There were several tigers on the mountain. He could sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. When the results of the fight came out, he could reap the benefits of the fisherman.
In Lin Dan Khan's eyes, they are the safest at present. If JianNu gains power, he has to deal with the Chinese army in southern Liaoning and the Ming army in the pass. He has to deal with the Chinese army or JianNu. No matter what gains power, he is not the first person to be right, so he is ready to recuperate here, develop silently, and make a comeback.
He never thought that after the Chinese army captured Yanjing City, it had not calmed the world, and there were many enemies in China, so he took the lead to attack him. When the country had not been completely calmed, he had dispatched more than 50000 elite infantry to sneak attack chahanhot (Baicheng).
Liu Yuanqiao appointed Xiao Ning as commander-in-chief, and bu rigude, Zu dashou, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui, who were very familiar with the grassland, were Deputy generals, leading 50000 elite troops to raid Baicheng.
Both buzhibude and Zu dashou's troops have been fighting outside the Customs for a long time and are very familiar with this area. Now they are fully equipped and bring enough equipment and food to deal a fatal blow to Baicheng.
Chahar tribe was originally only a nomadic people in the Eastern Mongolian grassland, living by water jacket, but after Lin Dan Khan ascended the throne, he thought it was necessary to establish a capital and become a holy land on the grassland, so as to strengthen the cohesion between grassland nationalities. His practice has also achieved great success. Since he established Baicheng, It has become the nominal capital of Mongolian grassland and the holy land for herdsmen to worship.
In winter, many herdsmen like to drive cattle and sheep here for the winter, which is a recognition of here.
The chiefs and tribal leaders from all over the world also come here to worship regularly, which is a recognition of his status as a grassland Communist.
After the establishment of the capital, the herdsmen of Chahar tribe really lived a stable life and established their status as king. However, they also lost the mobility of grassland nomads and easily became the target of the enemy.
In the past, the Ming army was very weak and could not go deep into the grassland to attack them. It was JianNu rising from the northeast, but it had very strong force and had tried to attack him many times.
In the wars against the grassland people of all dynasties, it is often not a decisive battle with each other, but the inability to find an enemy on the grassland.
The Han troops who went deep into the grassland could often defeat the enemy as long as they found the enemy.
What I fear most is these cunning grassland people. They don't have a positive showdown with you. If they have nothing to do, they will follow you in the upstream garden of the vast grassland and visit the grassland, which will drag you down and drag you down, but they won't fight you.
When they drag you down and drag you to the point where there is no food or patience, when you want to withdraw and don't want to fight, they rush up from all directions and can't find the north.
In those days, Zhu Di led hundreds of thousands of Ming troops to march against Mobei. Every time he beat the Mongols and fled, but it was also equivalent to some kind of armed parade. When the other party saw that the Ming army was so powerful, they didn't fight it at all. When the Ming army came, they went deep into the grassland, the Ming army retreated, and they made a comeback again. Land was not important to them, What matters is cattle, sheep and herdsmen.
After Lin Dan Khan established Baicheng, he changed this pattern. Since it is their capital, their holy land and the place they must guard, it means that they can't retreat easily and can't play the trick of their ancestors and try everything.
Although Baicheng was built between two mountains, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack, it was easier for the Chinese and Han troops on the expedition to attack a city that could not run than to attack the Mongols who fled faster than rabbits.
The general command of the Chinese Empire saw this possibility, so it chose to send an elite force into the grassland to prepare for a fatal attack on Baicheng.
Liu Yuanqiao gave the will. His goal was to take Lin Danhan and the imperial seal in his hand.
Lindan Khan is still the co owner of all major nationalities in the grassland, that is, the thirty-five generations of the Great Han of the Mongolian Empire. If he is captured alive, it means the destruction of the Mongolian Empire.
You should know that although Daming was a country established on the ruins of the Mongolian Empire, it did not fully inherit all the heritage of the Mongolian Empire, but occupied part of the land of the Mongolian Empire in the Central Plains, and it was still the world of the Mongols outside the vast pass.
Daming rebuilt the Great Wall, built nine important towns along the great wall and deployed millions of troops, mainly against the powerful enemy in the north, that is, the Mongols.
Generally speaking, the Mongols are the most powerful enemy of the Ming Dynasty since the founding of the people's Republic of China. There is nothing wrong at all. You see, the Ming Dynasty has perished. The remnants of the Mongols are still entrenched on the grassland. On the vast grassland, there are countless tribes who regard them as Communists and wait for their call.
In the eyes of Liu Yuanqiao and others, if we can take advantage of this opportunity to capture Baicheng and destroy the Chahar tribe, it is equivalent to destroying the Mongolian Empire. Such an unparalleled military achievement is not a temptation that an emperor can refuse.
At the same time, it means seizing the imperial seal handed down by Lin Dan Khan.
It is said that the national jade seal, the most important treasure in Chinese history, can be compared with the rumored Dayu Jiuding. Its value can not be measured by money.
Since the first emperor used it as the seal of the town, it has been used as a symbol of divine power. The emperor who has the national jade seal is the real emperor. Without the national jade seal, he is the White Emperor, lacking divinity.
In academic circles, it is generally recognized that the national seal was destroyed in the fire of the Wufeng building with Emperor Li Congke at the end of the Tang Dynasty. In this fire, even buildings such as the Wufeng building burned to white, not to mention this jade.
Later, the piece obtained by song Huizong should be false. Although many academic people unanimously commented that it was true, others had a question. If it was true, song Huizong's goods could still be captured by the Jin people and killed the country, becoming the most humiliating emperor of all dynasties?
Although many people believe that the one obtained by the Yuan Dynasty is true, more people also have other views. It should be forged by later generations. The real peerless treasure, the national jade seal, has been destroyed.
But for later emperors, whether the national jade seal is true or false is actually just icing on the cake.
The Song Dynasty inherited from the Tang Dynasty, which can be understood as taking over the throne from the Tang Dynasty and the imperial seal (imperial power).
Later, the Mongols rose in the desert, destroyed the Song Dynasty and dominated the world. It can also be said that they seized the imperial seal from the Song Dynasty. Whether the piece in his hand is true or false is no longer important. The important thing is that the imperial power is in hand.
Although the Ming Dynasty was founded on the ruins of the Yuan Dynasty, it did not completely destroy the Yuan Dynasty. Emperor Yuan Shun led his whole court and fled to Shangdu. It can be understood that the imperial seal is still in their hands.
After that, although the Ming army attacked the Mongols many times, and the battle of yuerhai was a fatal blow to the remnants of the Mongolian Empire, the emperor escaped after all. It can also be understood that he took away the imperial seal. The dozen emperors of the Ming Dynasty can be understood as white emperors without the Imperial seal.
In the hearts of people all over the world, many people still believe that the emperor of the Mongolian Empire is the master of the East.
Liu Yuanqiao has made up his mind that he must take Baicheng and capture Lin Danhan alive this time. Naturally, it is best to pass on the national jade seal. If not, he will also make a fake one. As long as he takes the emperor of the Mongolian Empire and destroys his country, he can inherit his national title from his hand, that is to say, he can inherit the national jade seal.
Liu Yuanqiao said to several generals who led the troops: "this war is of great importance. You should act according to your plan and go all out without mistakes."
