Chapter 150: The Strength of the Tile Thorn

In this place where many people want to come to Mongolia, it seems that there are never many of them, and they are not very developed, and the economic foundation is very weak.

This idea, right and wrong.

That's right, if you look at the history of the Mongolian Plateau, it's been like this most of the time. But this is not to say that the Mongolian Plateau has not had a time of prosperity in its history.

This time period is not another time, or the reign of the Yuan Dynasty.

At that time, Lingbei Province was built in the blood and tears of countless people in the Central Plains.

The Yuan Dynasty did not know how much gold, silver and jewelry it had moved to Lingbei Province, and it also built a large number of palaces in Lingbei, and in order to maintain the normal operation of these buildings, there were still a large number of Han craftsmen.

Although the strength of Lingbei Province was not enough to compare with many provinces in the Central Plains, it was also the peak period of the Mongolian Plateau at that time.

However, this kind of establishment of an administrative system, distorting the laws of nature, prospered, and after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, it naturally went to extinction.

But Rome was not built in a day, and the destruction of Rome was not done in a day or two.

Although under the blows of the two generations of emperors Taizu and Taizong, the economic foundation of Lingbei Province soon disappeared, and even the capital and Lin were in ruins.

But the wealth left by the Yuan Dynasty on this grassland could not be destroyed in one go.

And the Warframe is one of the most important assets.

After all, as long as the armor is well maintained, it will have no problem maintaining it for decades.

As for the Western Regions?

After all, Zhu Qizhen came from the later generations, so naturally he would not think that everything except the Central Plains was barren. Zhu Qizhen was particularly aware that the Mongols had also established a series of khanates in the west.

Zhu Qizhen estimated that it was the Golden Horde that ruled Russia today. Whether the tile thorns are connected to them, or whether the ancient Silk Road is still in operation.

Whether the tile spur occupies one of the links.

Zhu Qizhen prepared another task for Jinyiwei in his heart. Of course, Zhu Qizhen pressed these thoughts in his heart first, and listened to Zhang Fu continue to talk about the battle of Hulan and sudden loss of temperature.

Zhang Fu said; "Rongguo Gong Liu Sheng commanded the Shenji Battalion, and the formation bombarded the Tile Thorn Iron Cavalry with the Fire Gate Gun, and the Tile Thorn Iron Cavalry fell off their horses one after another, but there were still many rushing into the array, and the Rongguo Gong Commander Array, the two sides fought to the death and did not retreat."

"Emperor Taizong will attack the rear of the tile spur on two wings, and Mahamu is condescending, and the army will not be able to attack it."

Seeing this, Emperor Taizong personally led thousands of soldiers from his headquarters into battle. At that time, the ministers were guarding the left and right, and the main formation of the tile spur cavalry attacking the god machine battalion was not broken, and the sharp spirit fell. Emperor Taizong personally led the headquarters to attack it, the morale of the various departments was great, Mahamu saw that the general trend had gone, and fled with more than 10,000 people, and captured more than 100,000 horses in this war. ”

Zhu Qizhen listened, and secretly said in his heart: "It's a pity for Liu Sheng." ”

Liu Sheng was the last Ming commander stationed in Annan, and he died in Annan.

Before, Zhu Qizhen had no impression of Liu Sheng. But at this moment, listening to Zhang Fu's words, he knew that Liu Sheng must have something unique above the command of firearms.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Shenji Battalion to withstand the impact of the Tile Thorn Iron Cavalry without collapsing.

Because Zhu Qizhen has seen it, this is a big firecracker, compared with the more mature firecrackers in the late Ming Dynasty and already have a considerable degree of musket-style firecrackers in later generations.

In the early Ming Dynasty, the fire gate gun or something, in Zhu Qizhen's opinion, was too simple.

In the midst of a great war, the importance of people comes first.

Zhu Qizhen also knows that the development of firearms in the future is the most important and can become the main battle weapon on the battlefield, so Zhu Qizhen naturally wants to develop in this direction.

If Liu Sheng was still alive, Zhu Qi would definitely reuse him.

It's just a pity that the person is no longer there.

Zhang Fu's voice was still unhurried.

"This battle, of course, was broken, but the losses of the various departments were not few, and Emperor Taizong decided to withdraw his troops immediately. Along the way, nearly 10,000 soldiers died of injuries and illnesses one after another. Nearly a quarter of the total number of people participating in the battle was done. ”

Zhu Qizhen sighed and said, "The grassland battle is really difficult. ”

Emperor Taizong's five northern expeditions, many times claimed to be 500,000 people, in fact, there were never 500,000 soldiers, but this number was the sum of the people and soldiers.

The real soldiers did not exceed 100,000 at a time.

And on the vast grassland, the soldiers will not be in a strategic direction.

When Emperor Taizong encountered the tile spur, the tile spur Mahamu, that is, the father of the dehuan. It's all ready. It is clear that he lured the enemy deep and selected the battlefield to fight a decisive battle with Emperor Taizong.

If it weren't for the vast expanse of the steppe, there would be no place to ambush. I'm afraid that Mahamu's plan will not be easy to start a decisive battle.

It's just that although Emperor Taizong was calculated by Mahamu before the war, he relied on the Shenji Battalion to turn the war around.

Even so, it made Zhu Qizhen feel even more that he was fighting on the grassland, and the soldiers were in danger. There are many difficulties, the time and place are favorable, and people do not love themselves.

The so-called time of the day.

The grassland is in a high-dimensional region, and there are not too many times a year without wind and snow, so the time for the army to move on the grassland is limited, otherwise the white plague on the grassland will be able to engulf the army without waiting for the enemy to be defeated.

Secondly, the location is favorable.

No matter how much Daming knows about the grassland, he will not know more than the locals.

Again, it's people.

Needless to say, this goes without saying.

The Mongols had lived in the steppe for hundreds of years, so how could they easily bow to the Ming Dynasty.

The more Zhu Qizhen thought about it, the more cautious he became, and the more he understood what Zhang Fu said, the reason why the thorns were unstoppable. Even if all the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty is collected, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry go all the way out of the fortress, whether they can win or not is really between the two, but once defeated, there will be no cavalry on the nine sides, and without the mobility of the cavalry, they can only be beaten passively.

In this gamble, Zhu Qizhen did not dare to bet.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Since the tile thorn is unstoppable, and now the tile thorn is sitting big, and I am restless, how should the prince teach me?" ”

Zhang Fu said: "Your Majesty, the tile spur is invincible, when does it mean that the tile thorn is invincible? ”

Zhu Qizhen immediately lifted his spirits and said, "How to win?" ”

Zhang Fu said: "The way of the art of war, with my invincibility, to treat the enemy can be defeated, and I will succeed to the throne first. ”

"I also want to replace the Golden Family as the Great Khan of the Steppe First, and I will inevitably go south to conquer the prestige of this dynasty in order to go further."

"Now I went deep into the grassland, traveled thousands of miles, and pursued it completely. I can't do it, but if you are near the Great Wall, it is not difficult to fight a decisive battle with the tile spurs and win the battle. ”

"Your Majesty only needs to be diligent in cultivating the government, strong soldiers and horses, and ready for battle, after the defeat of the tile spurs, you can naturally send several soldiers and horses, drive straight into the grassland, chase the death and chase the north, and reproduce the majesty of Emperor Taizong."

Zhu Qizhen said: "Okay. ”

Zhu Qizhen scrutinized it carefully, and had to admit one thing, Zhang Fu is Zhang Fu.

Although Zhang Fu's strategy is not pretty, it has to admit that it is extremely feasible.

Even if there are changes in the civil fort in later generations, many people feel that if the orthodox emperor does not listen to Wang Zhen and mess around, the outcome of a war is not yet known.

Zhang Fu's plan is the most realistic.

Although this is actually not what Zhu Qizhen wants. However, Zhu Qizhen had to bow to reality. said: "The British public's remarks are like seeing the sun through the clouds, so that I can suddenly open up, and in the future, the nine-sided strategy will be followed by the British public's approach." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust." Zhang Fu said.

Zhu Qizhen's face changed suddenly, and he said: "It's just the British Duke, and now it is only more than ten years away from the Taizong period, and the former Ming Iron Cavalry has reached the point where it can't get out of the jam. ”

British Gong Zhang Fu suddenly shivered in his heart, and said secretly in his heart: "It's finally here." ”

Zhang Fu understands many things very well in his heart.

For example, about the 1.2 million shortfall found by the Ministry of War.

With Zhang Fu's ability, there may be things that can be hidden from him, but all of them are hidden from him, so it is too underestimated, and a general who can lead the army to destroy the country in his thirties.

It's just that the interests involved are too great.

Zhang Fu is a literati doctor and has more time with light. It is unlikely that he will have a fight to the death with his brothers who were stirring horses and spoons in a pot on the battlefield in the past, because of these interests.

At best, the British public is just alone.
