Chapter 1238: Slaves Become an Army

At the beginning of the battle of Yanmen Pass, the Xiongnu Shan Yu Fuluo went all out to increase the strength of the Xiongnu to fight with Qin Hao and decide to merge the state.

At that time, Temujin strongly opposed, but because of the weakness of people's words, they were powerless to stop, and in the end, although the Xiongnu captured Yanmen Pass, they lost a battle with Qin Hao, and even lost the three counties in the north and the Hetao, and even almost wiped out.

Now that Yuanmeng has captured Zhenbei Pass, Temujin, like Yu Fuluo at the beginning, advocates using the entire Yuanmeng to fight with Qin Hao to determine the winner or loser, and those who stand up against him are towing mines.

Look at the past, look at the present, how the situation looks at each other.

At that time, Temujin was not alone, from the perspective of individuals and courtiers, he was thinking about the whole ethnic group, so he was a conservative at that time.

Now Temujin has become the emperor of Yuanmeng, and single-handedly established the huge Yuanmeng Empire, and in his heart, ambition and ambition are naturally the most important, and even the entire Yuanmeng is a tool to realize his ambitions, so now Temujin will become a radical.

Of course, Temujin did not consider himself a radical, after all, what he needed to dominate the world was a kind of momentum without self, and if he did not even have the courage to die and survive, such a person would never be the final victor.

In Temujin's opinion, the reason why his brother Yu Fuluo failed was because he did not have the ability to match his ambition, so he was defeated by Qin Hao with a weak force, and he Temujin could not be compared to Yu Fuluo and his ilk.

When he lost to Qin Hao, Tie Muzhen was never convinced, after all, he was not the main general in that battle, and he didn't know anything about Qin Hao, so he would lose so badly if he was careless.

After so many years, Temujin has not tasted defeat in the east and west on the grassland, and his comprehension of the art of war has also reached an extremely advanced level, and Temujin is confident that he will never lose to Qin Hao if the gap in strength is not large, and this is where he dares to use the strength of the country to fight Qin Hao to the death.

"Qin Hao, don't think that if there are more people, you will win, the war cannot be won by relying on more people." Temu's heart said secretly.

At this time, Murong Ke stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the total strength of the Qin-Jin coalition army is as much as 580,000, even if my Dayuan transfers another 100,000 troops from China to participate in the war, it can only ensure that the main force of our army exceeds that of the Qin-Jin coalition army."

With 440,000 iron cavalry, we can only keep our army undefeated, and if we want to achieve the final victory, I am afraid that we need to continue to increase our troops. ”

Temujin naturally knew this, but with Yuanmeng's current national strength, he could only bear so many troops, and if he continued to recruit, I am afraid that Yuanmeng itself would collapse.

"But now Dayuan can't mobilize troops?" Temujin sighed.

Murong Ke showed a calm smile and said, "Your Majesty, the Jin army can use the people as cannon fodder, and my Dayuan can naturally do it."

No, it's not cannon fodder, the men on my steppe are all strong, and they can ride horses and shoot arrows, even if it is a newly formed army, it is stronger than the veterans of some Han princes. ”

"But I have already ordered the conscription of 200,000 new soldiers, and if I continue to recruit new soldiers, I am afraid that the country will not be able to afford it." Temujin said with a puzzled expression.

Just look at the Jin army, the strategy of all the people being soldiers can only be used on their own territory, but they can't attack externally, so for Yuanmeng, it is already the limit that can be borne now.

Although Temujin had the determination to use all his national strength to fight Qin Hao, if he collapsed Yuan Mengguo for this battle, these are completely two concepts.

"Your Majesty, in fact, there is still a strong force in my Great Yuan country, if Your Majesty is willing to give them a chance to make meritorious contributions, the predicament that our army is facing now will naturally be solved."

Hearing Murong Ke's words, Temujin's face couldn't help but change, he instantly guessed Murong Ke's intentions, and then said in a deep voice: "What Aiqing said is that...... Slave? ”

"That's right."

The Yuanmeng Empire and the Manchu Empire were both semi-slave countries, and both nobles and commoners in the country had slaves, which was also a normal thing in Yuanmeng, and these slaves were naturally the roadblocks on the way to the establishment of Yuanmeng.

Temujin unified the two parts of Monan, Mobei, and Xianbei Dongzhong, and most of the people naturally accepted and integrated into the Yuanmeng, but there were also many people who were unwilling to surrender, and these people were all reduced to slaves, living a precarious life as pigs and dogs, most of which were Xianbei people.

"Although these slaves came from various tribes in the grassland before, but now there are only two races left on the grassland, Yuanmeng and Manchu, as long as Your Majesty gives them the opportunity to remove their slave status, I believe they will be willing to fight for Your Majesty." Murong Ke said unhurriedly.

Temujin's brow furrowed.

Although Murong Ke's policy was suspected of interceding for the Xianbei slaves, it really harmed the interests of the nobles, but the weakening of the aristocracy's strength was conducive to the concentration of royal power, but the implementation at this time was not conducive to the unity of domestic forces.

After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Temujin finally decided to adopt it.

This may seem like a double-edged sword, but the threats are in the future, and the present is a bounty.

Now for Yuan Meng and Temujin, the most important thing is to defeat Qin Hao, and since there is a way to increase the chances of victory, Temujin will certainly not let it go.

Eighty percent of the slaves in Yuan and Mongolia were light and strong, after all, the old and weak would not survive at all, and if these suitable slaves were integrated into an army, at least 100,000 additional troops would be added to Temujin's troops.

"The order was sent down, and all the slaves in the Great Yuan country were immediately integrated, and after the young and strong people were reorganized into an army, they immediately went south to the Hetao, and as long as they lived until after the war, all the slaves could be taken out.

Elderly, women, and young children who are unable to join the army can be removed from slavery immediately if they have relatives who join the army. ”

Temujin's order had a great impact on the Battle of Hetao, but of course it had a greater impact on the Yuanmeng Kingdom, which made the Yuanmeng transition from a semi-slave and semi-feudal country to a feudal state.

"Your Majesty, although we can use slaves to attack the city in the future, it will take some time to reorganize the slaves, and before the arrival of the slave army, our army must no longer use the main force to consume the militia of the Jin army." Tuo Lei said with a serious face.

This point is not to mention that Temujin also knew it, after all, the main force is the key point of this battle, and it is undoubtedly stupid to use the main force to fight cannon fodder.

"One more thing, Your Majesty, the scale of the Battle of Hetao has long exceeded estimates, and most of the cattle and sheep used as military rations have already been eaten, and the arrival of the slave army will undoubtedly increase the burden on our army."

Tuo Lei's face was extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the domestic military food reserves are not rich, our army must defeat the Qin-Jin coalition army within two months, otherwise even if we succeed in capturing the Hetao, this winter may be difficult." ”

Cold winter and lack of food are the two biggest difficulties facing the grassland, and if they arise, it will be a nightmare for any tribe.

If Temujin continued to fight Qin Hao, these two difficulties would undoubtedly come at the same time, but Temujin did not have the slightest worry about this, but smiled lightly: "You are not more worried about the problem of grain and grass, I have already found a solution." ”
