Lin Danhan's eyes were bloodshot, and he pointed at the ancient Han who came out of the tent and said: "Now it is no longer a matter of dealing with the Ming Dynasty.
Ordos actually wants to break away from Mongolia.
Are we just going to let such a traitor live a prosperous life?"
The minds of the tribal leaders have changed.
Oba said: "The Great Khan wants to attack Buchen, and Horqin is willing to help.
After I return, I will provide a large number of cattle and sheep and transport them to Chahar as soon as possible to support the Great Khan." action.
Chaohua also said: "Nekalkha is willing to provide five thousand elite soldiers to accompany the Great Khan in his expedition to Ordos."
Anyway, Nekalkha is far away from here, and it is possible that his elite soldiers want to participate in the battle with the Ming army.
It’s close to zero, so it’s still possible to give away a short favor by speculating on flowers.
Tumed's envoy said: "I will report to Tumed Khan when I go back, and we will also participate in the Great Khan's campaign against Ordos."
Tumed is close to the Yellow River, and if there is a fight, troops must be sent, so the envoy only You can first ask Shunyi King Bu Shitu for instructions.
As for the Otoks in Chahar, they were naturally even more angry and expressed their intention to follow the Great Khan in the crusade against Ordos.
Of course, how many of them were willing to do so is unknown.
Zhang Xinchen went all the way east and arrived at the Zhungeer tribe.
The herdsmen here did not run away when they saw the Ming army.
Instead, they welcomed them into the yurts.
Zhang Xingchen said to the guard next to him: "General Zhou has a kind heart and did not kill many people in Zhungeer.
General Xue and I thought he was a woman.
Now it seems that he has allowed our Ming army to defeat Zhungeer."
We must learn from him in the future."
Zhang Xinchen dismounted his horse and comforted the herdsmen with kind words, accepted the cattle and sheep presented by the herdsmen, and asked the quartermaster to write a note stating the number of cattle and sheep presented by the Zhungeer tribe, and then handed it to the tribal leader and said: "When officials from the Ming Dynasty come in the future, you can hand this document to them, and they will take care of you."
Zhungeer tribe Taiji said gratefully: "Excuse me, general.
If the general needs anything, just ask me to wait.
General Zhou said that if Han and Mongolia want to be as friendly as one family, please start with our Zhungeer tribe."
Zhang Xinchen stationed his troops at the ferry of the Zhungeer tribe.
If Chahar wants to attack, this is the only way to go.
The Ming army pitched tents three miles away from the ferry and arranged sentry posts, where they waited for Lin Dan Khan's attack.
The next afternoon, the sentry saw a ship coming up from the lower reaches, and heard a churning sound.
Shocked, he immediately reported it.
Zhang Xinchen ran over and saw the Ming Dynasty flag on the bow of the ship and said: "Don't panic.
Although they can go upstream without sails, the downstream is our territory, and of course it is our ship."
The boats sailed upward slowly.
When they arrived at the Ming army's station, the boats docked at the shore.
Zhu Qiming didn't wait for the springboard to be set up before he jumped onto the shore.
He gave a military salute to Zhang Xinchen and said, "See you, Major Zhu Qiming of the Guards."
Pass General Zhang."
After that, he took out the documents from the Ministry of War and handed them over.
Zhang Xinchen laughed and said: "It turns out that our military champion has arrived.
Welcome."
After saying that, he looked at the documents from the Ministry of War.
It turned out that Zhu Qiming was appointed as the commander of the Yellow River Water Army Battalion, leading the water army camp to deliver supplies to the Ming army during the Han Wu Operation. , also responsible for guarding the Yellow River.
Zhang Xinchen said: "This ship should be the steam ship studied by the Ordnance Bureau.
It is indeed a good thing.
It can operate freely in the water without sails."
Zhu Qiming said: "It is now separated from the Ordnance Bureau and is called the Water Power Transport Bureau.

His younger brother Chu Yu and Zhu Zhiyu cooperated with Mr.
Fang to build a steamship that can travel eighteen miles an hour.
The emperor believes that it can be used to equip The army was defeated, so the Ministry of War was established Marine Camp.
There are now ammunition for five divisions on board for one battle, as well as some silk, cotton and other items to be sent to the Mongols.
Since our steamships have only built ten ships in total, after the ammunition and other items were unloaded, we Then go to Zhenqiangbao to transport grain and vegetables.”
Zhang Xinchen said: "Looking at the documents from the Ministry of War, your ship also has artillery."
Zhu Qiming replied: "A ship is made of three hundred and fifty materials, with ten twelve-pound cannons.
There is an iron sheet on the side that can be erected, with firing and aiming holes on it.
The Ministry of War has conducted experiments and it can shoot two cannonballs per minute."
Ten, two hundred and fifty to three hundred bullets, ten ships can form a local suppression of the enemy. " Zhang Xinchen said: "We have enough food, and vegetables are not urgently needed.
I will send scouts across the river to investigate and see the movements of the Mongols.
How long does it take you to go back and forth from Zhenqiang Fort?"
Zhu Qiming said: "It took us sixteen hours to go upstream.
If we add the loading time for the round trip, we should be able to make the round trip in thirty-six hours."
Zhang Xinchen said: "Then let's unload the things first, and wait for the scout to send the news before deciding whether to go back to deliver food and vegetables."
The Guards scouts discovered that Chahar's army had not yet mobilized.
Judging from this situation, it was not clear whether they would be able to reach the Yellow River for ten days.
Zhang Xingchen was relieved and asked Zhu Qiming to transport food and vegetables from the river.
The Guards had not eaten fresh vegetables for nearly a month.
Although the military rations included carrot powder and potato powder, which could ensure the basic nutritional needs of the soldiers, It's not as eye-catching as seeing green vegetables.
The Chahar people dragged their feet and finally started to set off after twelve days.
Lin Dan Khan personally led the troops, using a total of four Otoks from Chahar.
It was said that the five thousand elite troops from Inner Khalkha were still on the way, and the Tumote Department reported that the Ming army was already outside Guihua City.
Stationed fifty miles away, waiting for him to attack after leaving the city.
Lin Danhan changed his mind in a fit of anger.
He sent a messenger to the Tumote tribe and agreed to attack the Ming army outside Guihua City together.
Xue Boling led his troops to cross the Yellow River at the Tuoketuo tribe.
After defeating the Tuoketuo tribe, he met with Du Guangting outside Guihua City.
The two divisions were stationed on a hill between the Yellow River and Guihua City.
Although they had military rations, no one would object to having too much food.
Therefore, after the army was stationed, small groups of troops were sent to harass various members of the Tumote Department.
Little tribe.
They didn't kill anyone, they just asked for some cattle and sheep, and were willing to make an IOU, promising that they would be repaid in the future.
What can the various small tribes of Tumut do?
They can't defeat them even if they fight, and there's no use in repaying their favor to King Yi, so they have to give out their cattle and sheep in exchange for a piece of white paper that I don't know if it's useful.
Fortunately, the Ming army was not greedy, and they did not take many cattle and sheep at one time, and they also left some cotton cloth symbolically as the so-called advance payment.
Xue Boling had always been in contact with Zhang Xinchen's tribe who went east, so Zhu Qiming soon sent a large amount of ammunition and grain by ship, and even brought exquisite silver coins.
Xue Boling asked people to send grain, cotton cloth and silver coins to the tribes that had "borrowed" cattle and sheep, and stated that it was okay to barter or get silver coins, and that silver coins could be used to trade with merchants.
But the Mongolians are very simple, and most of them choose grain and cotton cloth, while some more lively people choose silver coins
