Chapter 379: Stationed at the border pass

The new year came, and as the weather warmed, some Tatar chieftains set out with tribal warriors for Chahar, where Buyan Chechen Khan was already waiting for them.

In previous years, in winter, almost every tribe had elderly people leave the tribe in the wind and snow and bury their bones in the savannah.

The Tatars also have family affection, but for the survival of the tribe, in the case of insufficient food, they can only give up the old people and leave hope to the young adults and children, they are the hope of the tribe.

If they could, the tribal leaders also hoped that the old man would live.

Food, they need food, under the call of Buyan Chechen Khan, they gathered, they want to go to the land of China to grab money, food and women, if they can, they want to occupy a large area of land, and even rule the land of China like their ancestors and enslave the Chinese people.

In order to keep the tribal warriors fighting hard, food is provided as usual in winter, and even the elderly are given a certain amount of food supply, if they can't get food back from the land of China in the future, I'm afraid that many people in the tribe will starve to death this year.

The tribal leaders already knew that there was civil strife going on in the land of Huaxia, and this was the best chance, and they believed that this time they would be able to rush into the land of Huaxia, and as long as they brought back food, the tribesmen would not die of hunger again.

In their opinion, a very small one may fail, and if they return with a crushing defeat and so many people die, the food in the tribe can barely support the rest of the tribe to continue to survive, but it is possible to face the "devouring" of other tribes.

10,000 Tatar cavalry converged on Chahar, 50,000 Tatar cavalry converged on Chahar, more Tatar cavalry was converging, and the blood in the chest of Buyan Chechen Khan could not stop boiling.

"200,000, as long as I give me 200,000 people who control the strings, I can occupy the north of the Yellow River!"

There were many Chinese traitors around Buyan Chechen Khan, who gave advice to Buyan Chechen Khan and asked the craftsmen to build ladders for the siege of the city.

For the city with low walls, the Tatar cavalry prefers to throw the soil under the city wall, and make a slope to rush directly to the city wall, but not for the tall city wall, before the Ming border army is relying on the tall and majestic Great Wall to resist the Tatar cavalry, if you want to break through the Great Wall, the Tatar cavalry can only abandon their horses and use the ladder to climb the city wall to break the city.

The People's Army, which had already occupied most of the land of China, did not yet know the movements of the Tatars in the northern steppes, but the People's Army had always been on guard against the Tatars, and there were constantly People's troops crossing the Yangtze River and the Yellow River to the border passes, and even the Lancer Division had already set off, wanting to go to the steppe to prove itself to others.

As more People's Army came to the border passes, which no longer needed so many troops to garrison, Wang Shengrong began to order people to dismiss the border troops in batches, with the only son in the family leaving first, followed by the older ones, and some young and strong people, especially those who could ride, could stay and join the People's Army.

"I'm not leaving, I'm going to stay here, I'm going to avenge my parents!"

In the face of the dismissal of the People's Army, there are soldiers who are unwilling to go home, his parents were killed by the Tatars, he wants to stay here to take revenge on the Tatars, Da Ming does not give him a chance to take revenge on the Tatars, the People's Army is stronger than Da Ming, he must have a chance for revenge.

In the end, a company instructor of the People's Army finally persuaded him to leave the border and go home to live a good life.

His parents died, only one of his sons was left, and the bloodline inheritance could not be broken, the People's Army divided the land for him, and directly allocated ten acres of military land as a veteran, and went back to his hometown to find a woman to live a good life with him, and gave birth to a bunch of babies for him, which is what his parents want to see more.

As for revenge, just leave it to the People's Army, and the People's Army will definitely avenge everyone.

The People's Army gave great preferential treatment to the border troops who had been stationed at the border passes, and it was these border troops who blocked the Tatars in the north to the death, and if there was no People's Army, it can be said that the border passes were one of the places with the highest casualty rate of the Ming army, and they used their bodies to protect the people in the passes.

For the ordinary non-commissioned officers and lower-level officers of the border army who have been dismissed, they will be directly arranged as veterans of the People's Army, and will be given a minimum of 10 acres of military land.

Other Ming troops, sent home only according to the treatment of ordinary people, adults are allocated four acres of land, of course, this is enough for them, enough for them to eat, and they can save some money every year.

The People's Army is responsible for a section of the defense line with a division as a unit, and a battalion of 3,000 people is assigned to the border army, bringing the total strength of the division to 11,000 people.

When the KPA comes to the border for the first time, it also needs to be familiar with the situation, and with the border troops stationed here all the time, the KPA can quickly familiarize itself with the environment.

It is the first time that the border army has come into contact with the People's Army, and they have not yet seen the combat effectiveness of the People's Army with their own eyes, but the officers and non-commissioned officers of the border army all recognize the combat effectiveness of the People's Army, and they have learned about the brilliant achievements of the People's Army.

The various firearms equipped by the People's Army have opened the eyes of the border army, and more importantly, the military discipline of the People's Army has made the officers and non-commissioned officers of the border army very admired.

The People's Army is well paid, better than the Ming Army, but many qualified Ming soldiers are unwilling to join the People's Army, they have become accustomed to the relatively "relaxed" military discipline of the Ming Army, the military discipline of the People's Army is too strict, they are unwilling to join the People's Army, it is better to return to their hometown to farm.

After all, many people join the army to make ends meet, and the People's Army divides the land among the common people, and it is okay for them not to continue to be soldiers, not to mention that they will die if they become soldiers and fight, and it is better not to be a soldier or not to be a soldier.

The People's Army scouts don't know much about the grasslands, and the border cavalry know a little more, but they don't dare to go too deep into the grasslands, where there are too many dangers, unless they gather thousands of horsemen and tens of thousands of horsemen to rush into the steppes together.

Before the appearance of the People's Army, the Ming Dynasty had not launched a large-scale counteroffensive against the Tatars for many years, which was actually a manifestation of the reduction of the Ming army.

At the same time as sending troops to garrison the border passes, Wang Shengrong was also dispatching troops to continue to the north to occupy the Liaodong region, and there were still a lot of troops dispatched, including three divisions in the vanguard, six divisions in the Chinese army, and three divisions in the rear army, a total of 12 divisions and 100,000 troops.

Liaodong is less than a province, but sent 100,000 troops over, mainly because the form of Liaodong is too complicated, the military intelligence department has passed back the information, the Japanese and Jurchens will be the enemies of the people's army, but the Ming army stationed in Liaodong is easy to solve, the Ming court is dead, and there will not be many people willing to continue to fight for the Ming court.
