483 [Extinction]
These Uliangha (Duoyan Sanwei) cavalry are really weak in combat power, and the quality of the horses is also uneven.
The 1,000 Beijing cavalry under Wang Yuan's command fought countless tough battles in the south and the north, but they were not what they were in history. The elite cavalry piled up by countless victories, and the emperor has always taken care of him personally, and he has not been deducted from his military salary in ordinary times.
Even without flintlock pistols, this thousand elite cavalry could still defeat 2,500 Uliangha cavalry.
Wang Yuan selected three "commanders" from among the Han serfs. And he gave Mongolian women and young children to them as wives and children. Then from the spoils of war, they divided some livestock and grain, and let these Han serfs enclose the land on their own, and each person could get up to 100 acres of land.
For a time, the enthusiasm of those Hermes-Epitek was high. They used to be slaves, but now they can sleep with their mistresses, and they can occupy their master's fields, which is almost as beautiful as daydreaming.
The spoils that could not be taken away were handed over by Wang Yuan to the three "commanders" for safekeeping, and these Han people did not dare to quietly occupy them.
After resting for the night, Wang Yuan waved his army to the southeast, and quickly swept away the three tribes near Chengde City in the later generations. Then he turned southwest and quickly swept away the five tribes in the territory of Xinglong County in later generations.
These tribes are easy to find because they are surrounded by mountains and there are not many suitable places for farming and grazing. Along the valleys and river valleys, where water and grass are abundant and the soil is fertile, there must be Mongolian tribes stationed in the herding and farming.
In particular, the Mongolian tribes in Xinglong County have only a few dozen people in number, and only a few hundred people in number. They moved south here, only twenty or thirty years, and they have not multiplied and grown, and were directly strangled in the cradle by Wang Yuan.
In this way, for more than half a month, the Mongols near Gubeikou were expelled and killed by Wang Yuan, and more than 6,000 Han serfs were rescued.
Of course, the number of Mongolian cavalry who managed to escape added up to thousands. They fled north in a hurry, encountered Zhu Fen's army in Daxingzhou, and continued to flee without firing a single arrow, and finally ended up being annexed by other tribes.
After Wang Yuan successively swept all the departments, he also led his troops to Daxingzhou to join his main army.
Daxing Prefecture was upgraded to a county when the Jin State was in power, and the Yuan Dynasty was upgraded to a state again, and the city wall was still built by the Yuan Dynasty. Due to the long-term desolation, the Duoyanwei and Tainingwei tribes moved in, and they were unable to repair the city, so they only lived and multiplied in various places outside the city.
Wang Yuan looked at the many collapsed city walls, and used a clairvoyant mirror to observe the mountain, and said to Zhu Fen: "This city chokes the throat of the north and south, and as long as the population is replenished and the city is restored, it can protect the land of five hundred miles behind." β
Zhu Fen patted his ass and said: "Wang Shilang is really a person who knows soldiers!" β
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "In the early years of the Dynasty, General Feng (Feng Guosheng) attacked Mongolia in the north, and he received successes all the way, but he suffered defeat in Daxingzhou. The city on the side of Xiaoxingzhou was forced to withdraw its troops and go back to build it because of the long-term attack on Daxingzhou. These Uliangha people (Duoyan Sanwei), who live in treasure land without knowing it, even want the city, only know how to graze and farm outside the city! β
Zhu Fen echoed: "Mongolian barbarians, how do you know the benefits of the city? Even if they let them defend the city, they do not know how to defend it. β
After some flattery, Zhu Fen couldn't help but say, "Wang Shilang, shouldn't you go east as soon as possible and go to join Your Majesty's army?" β
"There you go." Wang Yuan said casually.
Zhu Fen hurriedly asked, "Where does Wang Shilang plan to go?" β
Wang Yuan said: "Quan Ningwei." β
Zhu Fen exclaimed: "That's ...... But it's a little far away, beware of going deep alone. β
Quanningwei, that is, the later Inner Mongolia Wengniute Banner Wudan City, is further north of Daning City. Situ Asu of the Yuan Dynasty surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and his subordinates were settled here, so the Quanningwei were all Mongols, and did not migrate the Han people to Shibian.
Today, the Mongolian tribe of Quanningwei has long been annexed by Duoyanwei and is the second core area of Duoyanwei.
If according to the geographical division of later generations, Wang Yuan and Zhu Houzhao have been fighting in Hebei, and now Wang Yuan wants to take a thousand horsemen into Inner Mongolia and go straight to the rear of Duoyanwei.
Zhu Fen felt that Wang Yuan had gone crazy, and when the generals under his command learned the news, they also thought that Wang Yuan was looking for death.
But thinking about Wang Erlang's previous achievements, the generals were quickly relieved.
So, the superintendent Zhu Fen led more than 10,000 troops to the east to meet with Zhu Houzhao. And Wang Yuan led a thousand horsemen by himself, and went north out of Yanshan Mountain to the grassland, intending to completely disrupt Quan Ningwei, and then go south to attack the enemy's main force before and after the emperor.
A thousand fine riders, one man and two horses.
After sweeping so many Mongolian tribes, Wang Yuan only lost more than 10 people, but captured more than 2,000 war horses. This time, the quality of the war horses was uneven, and the best one thousand horses were selected, and Wang Yuan's mobility ability improved again.
After capturing a few herdsmen on the grassland, Wang Yuan did not kill them directly, but rewarded them with gold and silver to be the leading party.
The herdsmen were interrogated separately, and those who were obviously lying were killed.
By the Laoha River, the soldiers were drinking horses, and Wang Yuan took the Mongolian soldiers to personally ask a herdsman who knew how to cooperate best: "You mean, the young and strong people in the surrounding grasslands have been pulled away with people and horses?" β
This herdsman is over 50 years old, his ancestors belong to the Hongjira tribe, and after the clansmen were captured by the Ming army, they were all thrown by Zhu Yuanzhang to the governor of Quanning, Asu. Later, Duoyanwei expanded rapidly and annexed the territory of Quanningwei, and the tribe was attached to Duoyanwei, and the grassland was getting smaller and smaller.
Immediately afterwards, Dayan Khan led his troops to kill many times, and the tribe to which the herdsman belonged was killed and captured by the Tatar Mongols. Although Dayan Khan withdrew his troops and left, the grassland of this tribe was once again encroached upon by the Duoyan tribe, and now there are only a few dozen tribesmen left, living on a mere 200 acres of grassland, and life is very difficult.
A few days ago, Zhu Houzhao's army went on a northern expedition, and the governor of Duoyan summoned all the young men in Quanning and asked them to go to Daning to fight with war horses and weapons.
The tribe to which the herdsman belonged was also conscripted ten cavalrymen, and life was completely unbearable.
"What's your name?" Wang Yuan asked.
The old herdsman said, "Tumen Uzhe. β
Wang Yuan asked again: "How many other clansmen are there?" β
Tumen Wure said: "Ten young people were requisitioned, and only more than 30 people remained. β
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Regardless of men, women, young and old, anyone who can ride a horse will follow me." As long as you are honest and obedient, I will take you south and give you pastures and livestock. But your people must change their Chinese names and learn to speak Chinese. Would you like to say yes? β
Tumen Ure said: "As long as you can live, you can promise anything, but I am afraid that Chinese is too difficult to learn." β
"If you want to learn, go back and gather your people." Wang Yuan said.
As Wang Yuan expected, the Mongolian tribe in the Quanning Wei Territory, Qingzhuang was indeed recruited to Daning City, leaving only a large number of old and weak women and children to stay. Wang Yuan was bold, he just wanted to use the emperor as a bait to involve all the troops of Duoyanwei, and then he led the cavalry to sweep the rear of the enemy army.
The old herdsman, Tumen Ure, soon called all the people who could ride horses, most of them women and the elderly, and even a few children about ten years old.
These people were all leading the way, leading Wang Yuan to the west and attacking a tribe near Chifeng in the later generations.
A thousand elite cavalry, raiding a tribe with only the old and weak, women and children, how can there be anything to say?
This time, Wang Yuan did not intend to kill again. It's not because he is soft-hearted, but even if he slaughters all the tribes here, there will be tribes further north, or even the Khalkha Mongols who take advantage of it.
Quanningwei is too far away from Daming, and it is delusional to immigrate, and it is not easy to defend against foreign enemies.
Since it cannot be truly occupied, there is no need to kill and injure innocents, and it will be even more troublesome to attract the Khalkha troops to the south at that time.
However, Wang Yuan's method is no different from direct killing!
Immediately after his victory, he selected young women, forced them to go with him, and took half of the tribe's livestock. Armed with women and livestock, they continued to raid the next tribe, taking with them young women and half of the livestock.
The women were all tied with their hands tied, could not ride horses, and marched slowly.
So Wang Yuan chose small tribes again, burned their pastures, and let these small tribes really belong to them. Then let the tribesmen of the small tribe take charge of the captive women, and carry the women and livestock to the south, to the new pastures that Wang Yuan promised to give themβthe territory of Daxingzhou and Xiaoxingzhou.
In October, Wang Yuan swept nearly 100 large and small tribes in Quanning, abducted more than 12,000 young women, and robbed more than 30,000 livestock of various kinds.
Moreover, there is no need to divide the troops to supervise. Those small tribes whose pastures were burned down would take their women and livestock south, and they did not dare to stay here any longer, so they could only hope that Wang Yuan would keep his promise and give them pastures and some livestock in Daxing Prefecture and Xiaoxing Prefecture.
Even if some small tribes ran away with women and livestock on the way, it would not hurt, and half of them would be considered successful.
