Chapter Seventy-Five: War Is Imminent
In the Northeast garrison, Ma Sanbao is used to eating dry food, the Northeast garrison is different from the Mongolian army, the Mongolian army has jerky, and they even eat a piece of meat is particularly difficult, unlike Ma Sanbao, Zhu Di is a little unaccustomed to the life of the army, although there is wine to drink, but it is all strong wine, not only that, after three days, the Ming garrison and the Mongolian army did not even have the idea of going to war, so he was really helpless.
"General Xu Da, when will we be able to start a war with the Mongol army, I'm worried about this time." Zhu Di opened his mouth and said that during this time in the army, he either listened to the soldiers singing or watched the soldiers dance, and he began to miss the good days in Nanjing City or Beiping City.
"War is not so easy to start, and it is necessary to pay attention to the right time and place, and before the time comes, the war will not come." Xu Da said seriously, in the Ming Dynasty, if you don't fight, you will have to divide the victory and defeat in a war, this is their exquisiteness, it is this strange exquisiteness that makes Ma Sanbao very helpless, after all, in his own era, as long as he can win, he doesn't care about the means of war.
Unlike the Northeast garrison, the soldiers of the Mongolian army are either nomadic or eat meat and milk every day, and do not pay attention to the war at all, it is no wonder that since the fall of the Yuan Dynasty government, the Mongols are not as interested in war as before, once the Xiongnu attacked the border of the Han people, since the Ming counterattack, the Mongols are often among their acres and threes of land, rarely come to attack again.
Xu Da walked out of the barracks and used a telescope to observe the Mongolian army in the distance, in the entire garrison, there were not many telescopes, but there were only three, among which Ma Sanbao had been carrying the earliest made telescope, with the help of the telescope, the situation of the Mongolian army at a glance, all under the surveillance of the Ming army.
"This thing is really an artifact, if it weren't for the telescope, it would be difficult for us to take advantage of the Mongolian army during this time, after all, the Mongolian army is brave and good at fighting, and it is difficult for us to take advantage of them, but fortunately, the Mongolian army does not have a telescope, so we can better grasp the intelligence of the Mongolian army." Xu Da kept praising Ma Sanbao's telescope, no wonder Xu Da would believe what Ma Sanbao said, after all, the telescope was originally a masterpiece in Daming, and no one in Daming would have thought that this thing would appear.
Ma Sanbao was a little fluttering after listening to Xu Da's praise, in his previous life, he was not so honored even if he was an officer, now, in Daming, not only the prince values himself, but the general and even His Majesty value himself, he has a lot of floating person, and now he really wants to see the effect of the artifact he brought to Daming from the future in the war.
"General, you have come to observe it yourself, and you feel that the day of war is just around the corner, right?" Ma Sanbao said that it is obviously not easy to let Xu Da go into battle in person.
"You guessed right, the war is about to start, Your Majesty's meaning, tell us to fight quickly, and the southern army to attack the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, but unfortunately, our speed must not be comparable to the southern army, after all, the southern Yuan Dynasty remnants and the Mongolian government are far apart, and it is unrealistic to want to transfer support through our Ming Dynasty, after all, the north is the base camp of the Xiongnu, we are doing things on other people's territory, do you say it will be faster than the south? No, it won't. Xu Da said in a deep voice, he is about to send a war letter to the Mongols, this is Ma Sanbao's most speechless, if it is a blitzkrieg sneak attack, he will definitely be able to take the northeast in a short time, but if he wants to issue a war letter, the other party will have time to arrange troops, and it will be unrealistic to invade and attack when the time comes.
"Antique heads! But also, after all, the ancients were not as shameless as the *** country at that time, and they liked to play sneak attacks. Ma Sanbao complained about Xu Da in his heart, modern tactics could not be used in ancient times at some times, and the inexplicable etiquette across a layer was really incomprehensible to Ma Sanbao.
"Three days later, send troops!" After observing for a long time, Xu Da set a time, agreed on the time on the war book, and sent someone to send the war book to the Mongolian military camp.
War, is the need for both sides to agree, the Mongolian army for the Ming Dynasty requirements are happy to accept, for this, Ma Sanbao speechless, this war book in his eyes is like a play house, even the location and time of the war need to be notified in the war book, he feels a little outrageous.
"During this time, the sky is going to change!" In Ma Sanbao's telescope, looking at the dark clouds in the distance of the sky, he muttered that rainy days have a great impact on the war, and it is impossible to use fire attacks on rainy days, fire attacks were the most common tactics in ancient times, and once it rained, fire attacks would be ineffective.
Xu Da didn't know the reason why Ma Sanbao said this, he looked up at the sky, there was no cloud, it seemed to be fine, but he didn't know that Ma Sanbao was extremely sensitive to cumulonimbus clouds, after all, as a former naval officer, his ability to observe the weather was not comparable to the generals of the Ming Dynasty.
...........................................
In the Mongolian military camp, as the leader, Naier did not spend time seeing the war letter issued by the Ming Dynasty, laughing out loud, for such a long time, the Ming coveted their territory for a long time, but never took them down, they relied on their understanding of the Mongolian region, the Ming wanted to defeat them, it was even more difficult, backed by Mongolia, they could always get support at the first time, and according to the advantages of the nomads' courage and good warfare, they were able to gain the upper hand every time.
"Xu Da Xiaoer, it's okay to beat others, fight with me, or eat a little!" For Xu Da, Naier doesn't pay attention to it, this famous general has suffered many losses in his hands.
"But recently, Da Ming's side seems to be like a divine help!" Nai Er Buhua touched his head, he looked at the battle book, the situation has changed recently, Da Ming's losses in his hands have been decreasing, making him suspect that Da Ming seems to have some means he can't think of to understand his situation here.
"General, the Han people are cunning, we have to be careful, it's not unreasonable that they can create so many dynasties!" By Nai'er's side, a non-commissioned officer reminded.
"Hmph, the dynasty of the Han people, is there a vastness that our Khan fights? It's a pity that my Dayuan is not God's help, just the Ming army, not enough to worry about! The Khan should have wiped out all the Han people! Naier Buhua said in a deep voice, "All the ancestors and ancestors, I, Nai'er Buhua, will swear to defend my Mongolian territory to the death, and will not let the Han people invade our Mongolia at all!" ”
For the Han people, many Mongolians did not take it to heart, the strength of the Yuan Dynasty made them look down on the Han government, think at the beginning, Genghis Khan led the Mongols to the east and west, all the way to Europe, most of the European territory is in the hands of the Yuan Dynasty, if it is not for the incompetent management of the Yuan Dynasty government, how can it be possible to give the Han people a chance to turn over? The founder of the Ming Dynasty was nothing more than a beggar in the eyes of the Mongols.
The self-confidence from the Yuan Dynasty made the Mongolian general Naier Buhua full of disdain for the Ming Dynasty, however, by his side, the non-commissioned officers were a lot more cautious, and it was not unreasonable for the Han people to occupy the dynasty for many years, because of this, he was not as optimistic as Nai Er Buhua, but planned to persuade his leader to be more cautious.
"Don't say frustrating words, otherwise the military law will deal with it, what kind of thing is Daming?" Naier didn't listen to persuasion at all, and placed the characteristic jerky in front of him, which came from Genghis Khan's method, and was also the most precious food in the march, compared with the Mongol army, the Ming army did not have much meat to eat at all.
"Hmph, sooner or later, you'll suffer!" The non-commissioned officer did not complain on the surface, but was full of complaints about Naier Buhua in his heart, although Naier Buhua had also commanded a lot of battles and defeated Daming's army, but he still felt that Nai'er Buhua was too arrogant this time, and Daming dared to fight, obviously prepared.
.................................................
The war between the Mongolian army and the northeast garrison is imminent, and the south is also following in the footsteps of the north, the first target of Lanyu is the treasure land of Guizhou, Yunnan, Guizhou and Yunnan, as long as Guizhou is defeated, Yunnan is naturally the bag of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Pengju in the southern army has no chance to participate in the war, Hu Pengju is the lowest level in the army.
"Lan Yu, don't you even want me to go to war? I thought you were in a hurry to send me to death, but now it seems that you have a bit of a conscience. Hu Pengju was extremely dissatisfied with Lan Yu in private, although he came to defect to Lan Yu, but Lan Yu's treatment of him made him feel dissatisfied, his tiger and wolf heart kept stirring, and anger rose in his heart, just waiting for one day to attack Lan Yu.
"What's going on with those recruits?" In the barracks, Lan Yu asked the non-commissioned officers around him one after another, planning to see Hu Pengju's recent attitude and learn about Hu Pengju's recent life in the army.
"I didn't find anything abnormal, general, are we going too far, people are recruits, we actually let them do all the dirty work, wouldn't it be bad? In case they hold a grudge. The non-commissioned officer stopped talking, causing Lan Yu to laugh.
"You don't understand this, if they go to the battlefield, they are definitely cannon fodder, it is easy to give away their lives on the battlefield, and give them a job in the barracks, which is to sharpen their minds and let them live longer, you say that he has no grievances, in fact, I have long felt his dissatisfaction, he is in a hurry to send them to death, well, the next war, we will send them to the front line, they are not good, you should have less contact with them, just observe them, remember, especially one of them wolf ambition, It will backfire on us at any time. Lan Yu opened his mouth and said, Hu Pengju's personality is very clear to him Lan Yu, even if Hu Pengju has become a lot more thoughtful at this moment, he Lan Yu still knows everything about Hu Pengju, Hu Pengju's dissatisfaction, Lan Yu knows it, he really wants to see if the young master of the Hu family, who has lost Hu Weiyong, can turn the sky in his army.
