Chapter 109: Gansu in action

A lot of things I didn't think about before they happened.

Zhu Qizhen expected that the most tragic battle of the Haixi Battle would definitely be the Haixi City Defense. A long siege, a long war, no matter how you look at it, it should be this battle.

But I never expected that this battle would take place in the sixth battle of Yanbian, North Korea.

The outbreak of this battle, and later review, was all a mistake.

Cao Yi's deception is based on tactics, in order to avoid the dilemma of being caught between two sides. But it just hit the door of the tile spur, and he deceived Yexian.

But it also made the meaning of this war first determine the political significance.

Once it is purely a military operation, it is infected by politics.

There will be wars that are militarily extraordinary, and very stupid.

For example, now, there is no longer the purpose of attacking North Korea.

After all, the geographical location is limited, and North Korea, which is blocked by the western part of the Liaodong Sea, is indeed difficult to fight before conquering the western part of the Haixi and Liaodong, and there are too many restrictions.

The Ajab Governor is a lesson from the past.

And Cao Yi, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, did not mean to protect North Korea, at least Zhu Qizhen did not have much intention to protect North Korea.

But did Cao Yi dare to withdraw his troops before playing in front of the tile spur cavalry?

It's just deadly.

So Cao Yi can only stand up, stand up, and have strong support from the North Korean side.

This battle lasted for about a month during the entire Haixi Campaign, and the two sides fought every day, but the result of the battle was that both sides were defeated and wounded.

The mobile forces of Liaodong Town were directly disabled. There were so many casualties that Zhu Qizhen had to be transferred from the Beijing camp to part of the Beijing camp to garrison Liaodong afterwards.

On the Waspur side, after this battle, the three departments of Uliangha launched the Battle of Haixi.

Even from a strategic point of view, in this battle, he clearly recognized the strength of the people's army and knew that the Southern Dynasty could not be humiliated, so he directly postponed the plan to go south.

Wait for a more opportune moment.

After inheriting the position of Jiehuan and consolidating his position, the frequent expeditions to the east and the west also came to an end after the Battle of Haixi.

Even the steppes became calm.

However, this brief lull was for a greater degree of outburst.

Just before he and Cao Yi were on the narrow coastal plain, the tip of the needle was against Maimang, biting each other to death, one side did not give an inch, and the other side did not hesitate to die, and they were all together.

And at the westernmost end of the Great Wall, Ren Li also began to act.

Ren Li's actions are not so much a war. Rather, it is armed diplomacy.

For this time out of Jiayuguan. Ren Li's diplomatic preparations are even more than military preparations.

The seven guards of Kansai, in addition to Hamiwei, also have Anding, Aduan, Quxian, Handong, Shazhou, and Chijin Mongolia. Six guards

They are all distributed on the boundary east of Hamiwei and west of Jiayuguan.

The geographical location of Qu Xianwei and A Duanwei is a little off.

Ren Li first arrived at the Chijin Mongol Guard, and the army of the Gansu Province of Waspur stationed in the Chijin Mongol Guard, after a slight battle, the Wava Spur Department was defeated and retreated.

This is also a real manifestation of the combat power of both sides.

The gap between the most elite Beijing camp of the Ming army and the southern guard is simply not the army of a country, and the gap between the people of the tile spur headquarters and the miscellaneous armies of various tribes is even bigger than the gap between the Beijing camp and the southern guard.

Each tribal leader regards his own men and horses as his own capital. 、

Therefore, it is difficult for them to have a strong will when they are outwinded.

There are not many people who bring Ren Li. About 10,000 more steps to ride. But they are all elites selected from the towns of Gansu, and the troops stationed here are only a few thousand people, and they are all miscellaneous.

Therefore, as soon as they feel that they can't fight, they will naturally not be big. Evacuate to Hamiwei first.

In Hami, it is enough to gather people and horses, and then make other pictures.

After the small war between Chijin and Mongolia, the rest of the matter is more about diplomacy.

Ren Li summoned the leaders of Chijin Mongolia, Handong, Shazhou, and Andingwei. As for Qu Xianwei, Ah Duan has two guards, which is relatively remote, and he also sent a messenger.

Under the situation of the Ming army's large-scale pressure, the leaders of the four guards did not dare to slack off.

Together, these four guards are only tens of thousands of people, and this is still plus the old, weak, women and children. There is no way, this is the living environment here.

This area is bordered by desert to the north and desert to the south, and the deserts on both sides are almost connected.

Shaman Jiayuguan is also a common scene.

In such a natural environment, there is not much grassland. The brutal living environment also limits the number of people in these places.

People who don't have the strength are naturally ravaged back and forth by the tile spurs and the Ming Dynasty.

Don't dare to resist at all.

Before that, Ren Li had already taken care of Shazhouwei.

Ren Li looked at the leaders of Chijin Mongolian Guard, Shazhou Guard, Handong Guard, and Andingwei, and said lightly: "This general is under the will of His Majesty, Nian'er and others are ravaged by the iron cavalry of the thorns, and specially send this general, Guardian and others to move into the pass. ”

"I'm grateful to the general for his kindness." Shazhouwei commanded Brother Mu and said loudly.

With Shazhouwei taking refuge first, and the blood on the ground that has not dried up, they naturally know what to decide. They nodded and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the general." ”

Ren Li nodded and said: "If you wait for a good student to do things, the court will see it, and naturally your glory and wealth are indispensable." ”

Ren Li Zhu Qi Town Handongwei, after the town was broken, everyone in several health centers moved inward together, and all of them added up to about a few thousand households, thirty or forty thousand people.

This is only the population of a large county in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is also in the northwest

A lot of people. And among them, the male will be the strength of Gansu Town in the future.

Last year, there was a Shaanxi capital to play, requesting that the local hunters could be summoned, and the households were used in the army.

Zhu Qizhen also agreed.

This approach actually says one thing.

The Ming Dynasty has more than 3 million troops, and it has evolved into more than 1 million troops, and because of the problem of vacancies, some are not enough. Generals at all levels have the idea of starting recruitment.

It's just vague and locates these people as archers like the Song Dynasty. Compulsory militia only.

Zhu Qizhen didn't know if it was right to do this, but he let go of this permission.

After all, the health center system is no longer working.

What kind of new military system is suitable for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qizhen also made it clear for a while, let's give it a try, Zhu Qizhen will let them try, if it has an effect, it can be included in Zhu Qizhen's reform plan.

If it doesn't work. It's not too late to change it, it won't get worse than this anyway.

Therefore, tens of thousands of people entered Gansu, which also increased the strength of Gansu Town.

The whole operation, there was not much fighting, and Ren Li was broken behind.

Ren Li has been waiting for Hami's pursuit. It's a good fight. Make another meritorious service.

It's just that there has been no movement on the Hami side.

Let Ren Li have some disappointment.

Ren Li didn't dare to attack Hamiwei, as soon as he knew that Hami's position was important, and it was also the focus of Waspur's business. The city is high and the pond is deep, and there are deserted roads that have to walk hundreds of miles.

Not to mention the practical difficulties. Even if you resist the city of Hami, you may not be able to hold out for long.

Because of the heavy rain in Shaanxi in May this year. Flooded.

Shaanxi is not a large grain-producing province, but it is the closest grain-producing area to Gansu Town, and the fluctuation of grain production in Shaanxi directly leads to the amount of grain and grass in Renli.

If Hami sent troops, Ren Li would dare to fight a big battle, saying that he would not be able to take advantage of the victory to pursue and take Hamiwei in one fell swoop. But now the tile thorn turtle can't shrink. Ren Li didn't dare to act rashly.

After dealing with all this, he slowly retreated to Gansu Town. Then fly to the imperial court. It's a big win. And at the foot of Helan Mountain, hold down the Kansai Liuwei Tuntian to recruit troops, don't say more.

Zhu Qizhen was a little relieved after getting the news in Jingshi.

At least it proves that the Ming army is based on the Great Wall, and the combat ability within one or two hundred can be guaranteed, but it is a little difficult to reach the Taizong period to sweep Mobei.

It seems that the situation of the Nine Sides is not as difficult as he thought.

Zhu Qizhen waved his pen to be the uncle of Ren Li and the uncle of Ning Yuan. However, in the canonization edict, it was not because of this war exploits, but because of the accumulated merits. And it is not hereditary. Ren Li wants to be hereditary and vain, but it is still a lot worse.

However, Zhu Qizhen did not pay much attention to this matter, but he paid the most attention to Cao Yi.
