. Kaiyuan Campus. Banner Hunting. Yang Gaoda Wei stood in the small Jiaojiangtai.

Offstage. The flags of the guards, the flags of the army, the flags of the trumpet. Fluttering in the wind. It shows the grandeur of military might.

At a glance. In front of him were all soldiers standing on horseback, with solemn and majestic military appearances. The black pressed stand together. Waiting for Xia Shi's generals

Stand at the forefront. It was Xia Qi's cavalry assembled from the guards. The cavalry of the guards converged. It became a formidable cavalry infantry. But there is this power to mobilize the cavalry of the guards into one. He is the only one who can do it. Even if Shen Yong was the supreme lord of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, it was not easy to draw a horse from Zhuwei.

Follow the placement of the summer poem. Tanma has figured out the location of the Tuowei tribe that raided the 30,000 guards. Want to give it a heavy blow and put this. The great tribe of Nangqin was completely wiped out from the steppe, and the first battle decided the military might. It is necessary to have a cavalry with great mobility, otherwise the saddles will ride if they want to grab their horses, and if they want to escape, they will roll up their tents and leave. We always have to be on the defensive.

The 50,000 elites brought by Xia Shi were not all put into battle. He only instigated 20,000 men. The main snake spear infantry, sword and shield infantry, fire commander, artillery. The main force of the battle is still played by the Liaodong army. The centaurs sent by Xia Shi. In fact, most of it is composed of the Shenji Battalion, which is since the formation of the Shenji Battalion. For the first time, it underwent a rigorous war test.

With the cooperation and cover of the cavalry and Bu Xing, if the firearms army of the Shenji Battalion can not fall behind in the face of the light cavalry that rises and goes like lightning. Then there will be no army that can inflict a fatal impact on them. This will prove that the Yongle Emperor is correct in attaching importance to the study of firearms and expanding the proportion of firearms in the army, otherwise, the popularization of firearms in the army will inevitably form an obstacle:

It is only natural that the cavalry and archery skills of the soldiers of the agrarian society lagged behind the warriors of the nomads, who lived on horseback from an early age. Archery with a bow is as common as chopsticks that we use every day, and you let the warrior who puts down his hoe and steps on horseback surpass the enemy in riding and archery after several years of scraping. How is that possible?

Again. Provision of military horses. For the agrarian people, it is always a heavy burden at this stage, and the cavalry does not restrain and does not grow. But it is certain that I will be promoted. We can't do it because we don't have the innate advantage of the enemy in mounted archery. Abandon farming. Continue to graze cattle and sheep. Farming Ming is a more advanced type of Ming than Nomadic Ming. Stable life and perfect social environment. It will give rise to more and more enlightened things. What we want to do is promote my strengths. Instead of following the enemy's strengths

The growth of firearms requires a long process for the West to be able to successfully complete this process. It's because they have an innate advantage around them. There is not a single strong nomad. And Da Ming is otherwise. But Da Ming can't resist because of this, he abandons the growth of firearms and blindly rides on the horse, if that. Even if the threat of the nomads from the north no longer exists, what can we do to parry when the muskets, artillery, and ships of the foreigners are presented to us? By that time. The cavalry that once dominated the world was completely a scum in front of firearms, so . The only way to do this is to rise to the challenge. Accelerating the growth and maturity of firearms is king.

Shen Yong has been beheaded in public. Given that he is the highest military lord of Liaodong. Xia Shi didn't hang his head on a high pole to show the public, but cut off his head in public. It is enough to make the hearts of the generals awe-inspiring. found out the intimate relationship between the generals and Shen Yong in advance. Let Xia Shi know what to do. Outpost and rear battalion, who is the master and who is the auxiliary. On the configuration of the various divisions. have been placed more properly. As for the specific tactics of the enemy. That's the business of the commanders. Xia Shi will not overstep the charges:

About the strategic furnishings. The generals who will go to war already have a good idea. The pre-war drive is over. With Xia Shi's order. The army marched out.

The drum horn roars. The armor is sonorous. Flags flying. Thirty thousand horses are like a moving ocean. Roaring out of the school yard. Javelins, sabers, quivers, bow bags, riding shields, sleeve tassels and long lacquer drags..", murderous:

Then the chariots and infantry also marched away with the same order that the whole land trembled. Fire dragon carts, bowl-mouth mirrors, muskets, dense snake spears, and glittering broadswords. The mandarin duck jacket is like a sea of sleeves.

According to the furnishings of Xia Shi. It is necessary to gather superior cavalry and carry out a thunderous breakthrough against this procrastinating tribe. Then the battlefield was swept away by the chariots and infantry. Then the cavalry was still responsible for the assault and deterrence of the surrounding Bran tribes who might come to the rescue of the department. Cover the return of the army at ease.

It is inconsistent with the military orders of the previous soldiers. Xia Ji requested: It can also be surrendered. But it doesn't matter if it falls or not. The captives and the contenders are to be brought back. The gold, silver, grain, people, and livestock of this tribe were all plundered. If you can't move it, you will burn it, and if you can't burn it, you will smash it. In a word. Copy back the entire conquered tribe!

Whoever does not obey will be killed!

first beheaded Shen Yong, the capital of Liaodong. The message came to the side, and then came such an order. In the eyes of these Liaodong soldiers, the original quality of polite Xia poems. It's like a devil.

※※※※※

The news of Xia Shi's dispatch of troops caused a sensation throughout Kaiyuan. Then it spread throughout Liaozhi, and all the people were watching the outcome of this battle.

As the director of this battle, Xia Qi himself doesn't really care about this battle. In his opinion. War is only a means. Not the purpose. Two days later, he made an appointment with the young envoy, Xiao Bingbei and Ding Dusi. I went to visit the city of Hada in high spirits.

Xia Shi was supposed to go to the micro-service. But Hada City is still outside Guangshun Pass. There is no shielding around. Now that even Kaiyuan City can show traces of Jiaowei's cavalry, how can the young envoy and others let him ride lightly with peace of mind? These people insisted on refusing, and Xia Tao was helpless. In the end, they had to instigate a guard of horses to escort them, and 5,000 men escorted them. Mightily out of Guangshun Pass.

There are five cities and 21 forts in Kaiyuan District. The five cities under the jurisdiction of Kaiyuan are Kaiyuan, Gu, Tieling, Fanhe, and Yilu. Twenty-one forts such as Chaihe Fort, Songshan Fort, Weiyuan Fort, Zhenbei Fort, Qingyang Fort, Zhenyi Fort, Ancient Castle, Qingyun Fort, Dingyuan Fort, etc. These constitute the place where the military and civilians of Kaiyuan lived, and there is a pass on the outside to protect the people living in it. This pass is Guangshun Pass, Zhenbei Pass, Xin'an Pass, Qinghe Pass, Shandao Pass, and Kanyang Pass.

Its Jing'an Fort is an important town in northern Liaoning, northeast and even the entire north. Guangshun Pass is the eastern key pass of the original territory, and Hada City is outside Guangshun Pass. Several of the main traffic arteries of the Ming Dynasty are through Kaiyuan. Go west through Xin'an Pass to the Horqin Steppe of Mongolia. Go north through Zhenbeiguan to Jilin Heilongjiang. To the east, cross Guangshun Pass to Changbai Mountain and North Korea.

Basically. The people of the Kaiyuan area live in and around these cities. Don't think that there are twenty-one forts in five cities. What a dense crowd to be. Here, a thousand households are a city, and a hundred households are called a castle, which is actually not too few, but mainly the army. There are fewer people than the army. This is the status quo in Liaodong.

Out of Guangshun Pass all the way down. Some residual fractures can be seen. It seems that there were some villages here a long time ago. When the wind blows. Occasionally, some grass ash would be scraped out of the ruins.

Xia Yi covered his mouth and nose slightly. "Is there anyone else living here?" How can there be burning ashes? ”

Xiao Bingbei said: "Ministry. This is the ashes that burned in the autumn and winter last year. Vegetation resurgence on the earth. The ashes have been covered by ashes, and the grass ash that has blown into the old village sometimes blows out with the wind. It's good to get past this paragraph. ”

The young envoy said with great interest: "In order to avoid the intrusion of Ranzi. Autumn and winter on the occasion. Send soldiers out of the customs and burn the famine. So that the sac is not as close to grazing as I am borderlanding. and many incidents were reduced. This is a pattern that some of the quarterkeepers have come up with. Xia Guan thinks this style is very good. is planning to burn the famine in autumn and winter to isolate the style of Ao Yu to play the imperial court. Please set up a rule for the imperial court, and all the border towns will abide by it, what does the ministry think? ”

Xia Shixin said: "It turns out that the burning of the border army in autumn and winter started in this era. It's not a rule yet."

In a past life. Xia Shi has also read several time-traveling novels. It has been written about the border army of the Ming Dynasty. Most of them have mentioned this. Xia Shi naturally thought that this was an effective example for Ao Yu. Therefore, before you have time to think deeply, you have to bow your head. On the side, Xiao Bingbei already smiled and said: "Young imperial envoy, this is a scholar's opinion. In my opinion, this form is to drink a donkey to quench thirst. Doing more harm than good! ”

Xia Shi immediately dukou. Listen intently.

Shao Yunfeng said unconvinced: "How can Xiao Bingbei say this?" ”

Xiao Bingbei said: "When I founded the Ming Dynasty. Meng Yuan Jurchen. There are many tribes who have joined our dynasty. Then. Emperor Taizu Gao said: "Where to govern the Hu Lu should follow their nature: the Hu people live in the bitter cold, and now move to the interior, they will drive to the south, go to the cold and that is, the heat.

However. The remnants of the remnants of the wilderness are extensive. Go and multiply, both from the recombination, the attached and the unattached intricately live. It's really hard to manage. Emperor Taizu changed randomly. Ordered to raze the people outside the Saiwai. All of them moved into the mainland. But. On the one hand, the Yuan people retreated north. On the one hand, the border people moved inward. As a result, a large area of eastern Liaodong is empty like a wilderness. Middle of nowhere:

to later. There are no people to manage in Liaodong, and even the officials of the premises have been abolished. All replaced by guards. Liaodong became more and more impoverished, and Emperor Taizu Gao later discovered that although this style could isolate the enemy for a while. It looks like it's been a long time. But there are many shortcomings. So there has been an intention to change the claim. From the twentieth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao issued an order. Successively moved from Shanxi and other places to fully Xuanfu left and right guards, Wanquan right guards, Huai'an guards. Let them divide the fields and establish the city. Open up the wilderness. Pity. After the death of Emperor Taizu, this last policy did not stick. ”

Xiao Bingbei sighed twice, pointed to the uninhabited wilderness and said to Xia Qi: "Lord Ministry, please take a look. In order to avoid being ridden by stalks. We have restricted the military and civilians to farming outside the chasm. Many cultivated pastures. So they had to be deserted. Autumn and winter out of the jam and burn the wasteland. It's even more ridiculous. The weeds are burned up, and they are cut off. It's just a herdsman who wants to be a herdsman. Even if the light rider goes away to burn the wasteland; The burned wasteland is only one or two hundred miles. When did it really play a role in blocking the infestation of charcoal? Burn the wasteland, burn it so that it is getting more and more barren under your nose. The enemy is not covered. On the contrary, his side is desolate. ”

Xiao Bingbei is silent. He also said: "In the early years of Hongwu, Xiao defended Liaodong. Accumulation. Now it has only risen to the opening of the original military preparation road. In the past few decades, Xiao has spent all his time in Liaodong. Xia Guan still remembers the scene when Fang came out of the plug. At that time, there was a connection between Tuntian and Tuntian. Pastoral Minister. Although it was temporarily desolate due to the wars of those years. But looking at that situation, it won't take two years, and there will be thousands of acres of fertile land. People are thriving. The villages are connected.

Pity. The Yuan people retreated north. The Ming people moved south. There are very few households left. and forbade them to plough on the border. In autumn and winter, we will burn the wasteland..." Relocation, burning, and restriction of farming and grazing. The vast expanse of fertile soil and grassland was thus deserted: Liaodong became a barren place. Of course, it is not inferior to the enemy. But it is not too much to use the military state for its own resources. It looks like it's been a long time. It was a big mistake.

Moreover. In this way, when our Ming army went out to conquer, there were few informant guides, and there was no resident assistance: Hulu did not have a city to live in, and its land was empty. A Thousand Miles March. Labor mobilizes the crowd. It's hard to really shake the roots. Again. Great Army Expedition. The food and salary are all fed by the horns of the people in the mainland, and the cost is huge. With the wealth of the imperial court. I'm afraid and embarrassed. ”

Xia Shi listened to it secretly. Xiao Bing is unconventional, and this argument is carefully savored. But it is not without reason. War in general. It's a thousand kills. Self-loss 800. And to the entire Liaodong of the fortified wall of Qingye. In the end, the result is a strong enemy. weakened themselves.

The Mongols are now driven back to the steppe. The means and sources of production of many daily necessities have been lost; And because of the insistence on the Ming Dynasty. Trade relations do not grow normally as they become poorer. The cost of war is far less than that of the Ming Kingdom. In order to meet the needs of material life. Looting on a regular basis became a part of their lives

If in the past, the Mongols still had the ability and intention to restore their original abilities. Now their invasion is mostly a tribal self-publication. The purpose is simply to meet their economic needs. Of course. This situation changes over time. When war became the norm. When there was a major problem within the Ming Dynasty. Raiding can lead to aggression. It led to a struggle for dominance.

But if Liaodong can become rich. Border trade can become rich. This and the situation will change a lot, and we can't resist ruling out the existence of careerists and war maniacs. But the way it is wrong. But they can only add unwanted enemies to themselves.

And that's just the outside. The same is true for the interior of Liaodong. Liaodong has been in the hands of the Ming people since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Now the inhabitants of the Mongols, the Jurchens and other tribes make up less than a quarter of the total population. They are now a veritable minority here. The Han Chinese population is overwhelmingly here. Later, the Ming Dynasty also grew its forces further north. The Nuer Gandu Division was established.

But such a vast expanse of land. It has never really been firmly in the hands of Da Ming. After more than 200 years of growth, the Han Chinese, who were once the most populous here, are gradually disappearing. In the end, the Jurchens became the real master here, why?

For here there are no iron battalions and flowing soldiers; There have never been many Han people, and the Han people have never really taken root here. Otherwise, more than two hundred years of growth. The Han Chinese who make up the absolute majority of the capital. I have long assimilated all the tribes here. How can it be two hundred years is still clear. The relationship between each other is even getting more and more despicable:

Despite the fact that the imperial court did its best in the defense of the northern border. But this fundamental problem is not solved. Border troubles cannot be resolved. One day, this side of the trouble will become a big problem!

Xia Ping thought. The purpose of going to Hada City was more and more determined.
