Chapter 111: The final counterattack

Under the Acropolis of Dongsheng.

He also took 30,000 horsemen and spurs to cross the desert and came here almost suddenly.

Li Wen didn't have time to do anything at all, so he gave up everything on the periphery and shrunk the main force of Dongshengwei in the Dongsheng Acropolis.

This acropolis can be said to have just been built with rammed earth, and it is not strong at all, so how to bring enough siege equipment and artillery first, it may not be impossible to break through.

It's just that I don't want to attack the city yet.

He has accepted the reality that it is impossible to break through the city carefully guarded by the Ming army, not 100,000 people, and in a few months.

Can you stay here for a few months?

No way.

This time, I also went south first, which was different from the previous south.

If you say that you went south before, you still have hopes for Daming, hoping to get some benefits from Daming, and now you are first, just for defense.

Right. It's offensive defense.

Zhu Qizhen's preparations for the Northern Expedition, the construction of galloping roads, the purchase of horses, and so on could not be concealed at all. Therefore, it is reasonable to know that the Ming army is ready to go north in a big way.

Faced with this situation, I was surprised and delighted at first.

What is surprising is that Zhu Qizhen is so ambitious, and Daming also has the ability to put it into reality, and the force of Daming at this time is somewhat different from that in Yongle, but the difference is not big.

Of course, the biggest difference is actually the difference in the Forbidden City.

If Emperor Taizong was here, he would have dared to lead the army out of the fortress a long time ago, and Zhu Qizhen, an unscrupulous descendant, could only pile up chips layer by layer in the back, hoping to crush the other party with these chips.

The good thing is that if the Ming army defends, it really can't find any flaws first, but now the Ming army actually wants to go north to Mobei, and there are a lot of opportunities to let it recreate the battle of Qiu Fu's division first.

But even if he first thought that the Ming army would break away from the city and march north, stretching a supply line for hundreds of miles to fight him, there was still a trace of expectation in his heart.

But he also has to prepare for a big war.

What to do?

Naturally, if you want to do it, you won't let others go.

If you disrupt the other party's rhythm now, you will have one more chance in the future war.

So he only took 30,000 horsemen and went south.

Since he has no intention of fighting a decisive battle, it is not interesting to bring too many people. Moreover, the vitality of the tile spur has been greatly injured over the years, and it is also necessary to recuperate.

And the weak link of the Ming army, which was also selected first, was not elsewhere, that is, Dongshengwei.

Speaking of which, although Dudong Shengwei is weak, on the whole, there are more than 10,000 defenders, plus more than a dozen tribes in the vicinity, and there are about 10,000 Mongolian cavalry in total.

Although the number of people is not as good as that of the tile thorns, they also have the strength to fight.

It's just that the prestige of Ye Xian is too great, and the Mongols saw that they also came first, so they didn't dare to resist at all, and they all surrendered immediately, and Li Wen's ability was also very limited.

I didn't dare to fight against the city at all, so I could only defend it in the city.

In order to catch up with the construction period of Dongsheng Acropolis, it is not large, and more than 10,000 people are already the limit. So the Mongols from all over the country came and were denied entry into the city.

Therefore, the future soldiers will not be bloodless. He took down more than a dozen Mongolian tribes on the periphery, and even the Mongolian tribes in farther places were driven under the Dongsheng Acropolis, and finally had no choice but to take refuge in the tile spurs.

These gains alone are enough to make up for a mouthful of blood.

But first he discovered something even more surprising.

He was led by the king of Bodu to a small village outside the Acropolis of Dongsheng. At the back of the village, there were a lot of dirt bags that seemed to be buried with something, and there was a large area.

"What is this?" Ask the king of Bethus first.

King Bodu was also the first of his younger brothers.

It seems to be a vicious circle, because the Mongols betrayed, and the policy became more and more stringent, and because the policy became stricter, the more people betrayed, and they had to trust their relatives first.

So many people in the Ross family have been reused.

This is not an uncommon thing in the grassland. On the grassland, blood relatives have always been in power. But the question is, how capable are his younger brothers? Can it be compared with Meng Ying, Cao Yi, Shi Heng, Yang Hong, and other generals in the Ming army?

So this time, I also went south first to bring out a few younger brothers to see what war was like.

King Bodu said to Ye first: "Big brother, I found that the situation of the tribes was much better than I expected, and many horses were actually fat, I was very strange, so I asked about this." The Akito called this thing silage. ”

I also listened to it first, and I was also interested.

Now, between May and June, they have also gone south.

It's not that after the spring blossoms, they don't want to move at first, it's that they can't move, because the animals have been starving for a winter, and they have become skinny and bones.

You have to cultivate well before you can fight.

And the tribes that took refuge in the Ming Dynasty, each tribe is not as good as the tile spur, and the tile spur is still like this, and their situation should be worse than the tile spur.

During this battle, I also felt that something was not quite right, as if these Mongols were running faster than the thorns.

At this moment, it seems to know the answer.

also waved his hand first, and immediately someone stepped forward and threw the dirt bag away, and suddenly a smell that I didn't know how to describe came out.

He also saw the green and juicy silage inside, and asked, "What is this for?" ”

The king of Bodu was afraid that he would not be able to speak clearly. Immediately pull a man over, but it was a shepherd.

In order to be able to spread the positive technology as soon as possible

, Daming tried his best to teach the Mongols, and the Mongols regarded this thing as a craft of eating, and learned it very seriously.

However, within a year or two, this technology has spread in various parts of Monan.

This herder is one of the herders who has learned silage techniques.

He may not know what the principle is, but what to do and what is the use is very clear, under the persecution of the sword, he is naturally honest and told the situation one by one.

also had his eyes shining first, and he couldn't help himself for a while, and said, "Is this true? ”

The shepherd stammered, "If you don't believe it, you can take a look at the cellar over there, which was not finished last winter." ”

As soon as he signaled, someone immediately picked up a bag of soil with relatively old soil traces, and sure enough, he saw that it was still like this, but it was darker in color, not as green as before.

He also waved his hand and said, "Go and lead a horse." ”

After a while, the horse arrived, and he personally led the horse to the silage cellar, and the horse sniffed slightly, and began to eat it in a big gulp.

It looks like it's very sweet.

He was overjoyed, and despite the various juices and unpleasant smells on the silage, he reached out and fished it out, put it under his nose and sniffed it gently.

It's as if you've found some kind of treasure.

No, yes, it's a treasure.

Once this technology is in place, it is possible to prepare a large amount of forage for the winter. A large number of animals can survive each winter.

In this way, the various departments of the grassland will not die many, many people because of all kinds of cruel natural environments.

In less than a decade, the national strength of the tile spur will be more than doubled.

What is it that is not a treasure of technology that has such a big impact?

I couldn't help laughing and said: "This time I went south, with such a harvest, even if I go back immediately, I will return with a full load." ”

King Bodu and others also congratulated and said, "Congratulations to the Great Khan." ”

also said first: "I think that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty is also a smart person, he would never have thought that the supreme method he came up with would make the tile spur rich and strong, but he didn't know that the emperor of the Zhu family saw the current situation and didn't know how to be angry." Then he burst out laughing.

Compared with contemporary heroes, Zhu Qizhen is also inferior to others, but there is one thing that no one can compare, that is, he has a far-reaching vision that jumps out of the long river of time.

At this point, many people fall short of it. For example, in this one.

First of all, he only saw that this method could make the tile spur rich and strong, but Zhu Qizhen could see that if the tile spur used this method, he would inevitably settle down.

A nomadic empire that is no longer nomadic is something for the Ming Dynasty.

That's how much you win, how much you win. If the vision is one inch stronger, it is a dimensionality reduction attack.
