After seeing him, Tokhtar took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Sit down." ”

Lao Zhang bowed slightly, then lifted his official uniform and squeezed his bloated body into the chair, and took the initiative to ask: "The prime minister called me here for the rebellion of the people of Yingzhou, right?" ”

After a noncommittal sigh, he asked, "What does the Privy Council have in mind?" ”

Lao Zhang looked at Toto's indifferent expression, pondered his rhetoric in his heart, and said tentatively: "Over the years, natural disasters have continued, and the people have made disasters, and most of them are handled by the province itself. This time, the movement in Yingzhou is a bit bigger, why don't I send someone from Dadu to supervise it? ”

His eyes were slightly cold, and he stared straight at Lao Zhang and said: "So far, those Haikou in eastern Zhejiang are still restless, do you want Henan to be like that?" ”

Lao Zhang's mind turned, and he responded skillfully: "Thanks to your discerning eyes, Prime Minister, Dasi Nongda's knowledge of Ti Mu'er has done an excellent job on this errand, and those Haikou have all accepted Zhao'an after being deterred." ”

After hearing this, Toto's face gradually softened, and he turned the topic back to Yingzhou: "Yingzhou is close to the area of the river control project, and we must not let these chaotic people delay Jia Shangshu's progress in river control." ”

Lao Zhang saw that his attitude was a little better, and he also relaxed, and suggested: "Tongzhi Privy Council Shi He and Bal Chi are supervising the river migrant workers in the Yellow River area, so it is better to transfer the two of them to the nearest place to suppress the rebellious people." ”

Tokhtok was still a little uneasy, and said in a deep voice: "This time, we must suppress the rebellious people in one fell swoop, otherwise the majesty of the imperial court will be lost, and it will be difficult to ensure that these Han people who are plotting rebellion will have an opportunity." Ling Heguo and Bal Chi led several nearby Han armies, and then transferred the Asu army in Dadu, this battle must be fought beautifully. ”

Lao Zhang was a little surprised, and wondered: "It's just a group of chaotic people, as for the mobilization of the Asu army?" ”

In addition to the Mongol Army, the Tanma Red Army, the Han Army, and the New Annexed Army, the army of the Yuan Dynasty also had the Central Suwei Organization, which included the famous "Cowardly Xue Army" and several guards and pro-army.

The guards were set up by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, with reference to the central janissaries of the ancient Chinese dynasty, and its strength could reach about 200,000 in its heyday, and by this time it had evolved into the main force of the regular army.

"Asu" in Mongolian is the meaning of "guard", in addition to the cowardly Xue army, the head of several guards is the Asu army, which was founded a hundred years ago by the hands of Möngke Khan, the Asu tribe belongs to one of the Semu tribes, divided into left and right two guards, a total of 6,000 Semu people, repeatedly made military exploits, so it is regarded as the elite.

This part of the army not only has to protect the safety of the capital, but also has to go out to fight at any time, but the treatment is one heaven and one underground compared with the cowardly Xue army, in order to reduce the financial burden of the imperial court, they also have to prepare their own military salaries and serve all kinds of conscription.

Totuo said expressionlessly: "The imperial court's finances are tight, and the life of the army soldiers is not easy, I am worried that the Han army will not fight well, so it is safer to transfer the Asu army." ”

Lao Zhang looked at the unstoppable solemn expression on his face, it seemed that the invisible pressure brought by this matter in the court had become the young prime minister's heart disease, so he replied: "Prime Minister rest assured, this matter must be foolproof." Then he left to arrange a lot of things.

"The prime minister doesn't have to worry too much, since the Aso Guard has been dispatched this time, he will definitely be able to win." Ru Zhongbai, who was standing behind the escape, comforted.

Tokhtar sighed, the money change had failed soon after, and many courtiers who were dissatisfied with him saw a joke.

Now that the matter of controlling the river has started again, manpower, material resources, and financial resources do not know how much it will cost, if the Central Plains of Henan regenerates variables, the consequences are unimaginable, so they did not hesitate to use too much material to mobilize the Asu army.

There was a personal order, the Privy Council did not dare to delay, and the order was quickly issued to all the ministries, and the long-idle Asu army hurriedly assembled and went straight to Yingzhou.

Half a month later, they arrived at Shangcai County, north of Yingzhou.

The army marched through, the sound of "da-da" horses' hooves was endless, and the Azov Guard army has always had the reputation of "the king of cavalry", although this dispatch was only to quell the civil unrest, but each soldier was still equipped with two or three horses, and took turns to ride when marching to maintain the physical strength of the horses.

The Aso Guards were all lightly armed cavalry, with bows and arrows as their main weapons, each equipped with two Mongolian bows, two quivers, each pack of thirty arrows, and a pack of "light arrowheads", which were small and sharp, with a maximum range of nearly 300 meters, and were used to kill and injure the enemy from a distance; The other package is the "Heavy Arrowhead", which is large and wide, and although it has a slightly shorter range, it is more penetrating and is used to deal with medium-distance cavalry combat.

The secondary weapon is the ring knife, which is light to carry and used for slashing and slashing, and when in close combat, the knife is placed on the horse's hair, and when it is close to the enemy, it uses the tip of the knife to control the enemy with the backhand, and when it is chasing, it leans down and lowers its head to chase and slash the enemy with the blade.

There are many factors that make the Mongol cavalry so powerful in the world.

First of all, most of their generals are well-known and built up with countless real battles.

Secondly, the advantage of being a nomad was that everyone in the Mongol tribe was a mature horseman, and every herdsman would naturally become a qualified cavalryman by the age of fifteen or so.

With the first two advantages in place, they have formed a concise and most effective mode of warfare, that is, "roundabout guerrilla."

Contrary to what was imagined, the Mongol light cavalry was not used as a frontal charge to kill the enemy, but they fully demonstrated the combat method of "the bow is the first, and the sword is secondary".

Every time a frontal battle, some troops will be arranged in the front to do a good offensive posture to contain the enemy, and these light cavalry will detour back to the enemy's flank to release arrows to attack, if the enemy divides the troops to chase, the Mongolian light cavalry will rely on their excellent riding skills and elite war horses to leave it far behind, and wait for the enemy soldiers to be sleepy and lacking horses, and the Mongolian light cavalry will come back in a circle and continue to attack with bows and arrows.

At this time, most of the enemy troops have already begun to flee, they will shoot all the arrows, and then draw their ring knives, and reap the fruits like chopping melons and vegetables.

With the countless dazzling achievements of their ancestors and martyrs, the Mongols at this time were born with a sense of pride and superiority, not to mention that they were an invincible army as bright as a pearl, so every Aso warrior exuded disdain for this mission in his pores.

A group of unarmed rebels is also worthy of us to put on armor and fill our quivers? Not only ordinary soldiers have this idea, but also the Privy Councillor, who was ordered to lead the troops, also thinks so.

There were no quiver sacs on the horses, only wine sacs, and the extra horses were not used to change but to carry beautiful women with them.

A cavalry officer rushed over with a horse, and said with a sly smile: "My lord, it is rare for the brothers to come out once, or don't let them be tense." ”
