Chapter 584: Explained
Zhongjing Dading Mansion, the important place of Liao State to communicate the north and south, east and west, and even the city of Dading Mansion were built by the Khitans, Dading Mansion is on the impact plain of the river, and the emperors of the Liao State are often here, because here is the closest to the east, west, north and south.
Most of the time, the Liao Emperor received the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, and they were also in Dading Mansion.
In terms of geographical environment, Dading Mansion is not a dangerous place, more in a political sense, similar to Tokyo Kaifeng, Kaifeng Mansion is not a geographically dangerous place.
Therefore, Gan Qicai must break the Dading Mansion, because in the Dading Mansion, there is real money, and a large part of the foundation accumulated by the Khitan people over the years is here.
The general trend has gone, the building is falling, and the main force of the Liao State will not be determined when it returns to Linhuang, obviously it also knows in his heart, and he also knows that this place will become the front line.
Countless Khitans who defended their homes and defended the country climbed the city wall, and the battle was fought for a long time, and the grassland tribes suffered heavy losses, but the city was not yet breached.
Speaking of which, this battle has been extremely difficult until now, and there is really not much food and grass in Ganqi's army.
Many things can only be realistic if they are true or false. The battle of the whole country is really supported by Gan Qi himself, which is not realistic in itself, but fortunately, Gan Qi took precautions and left a hand when he captured Yanyun in the past.
Gan Qi has also reached the end of the crossbow, and if he does not end this war, the army is really in danger of running out of food, these things, Gan Qi does not hide them, before the war, at the time of the conference, he also said a few words of ruin.
Because this battle will definitely be difficult to fight. What is difficult to fight is not to break the city, but to enter the city.
In other words, even if the city wall is broken, the street battle after entering it will definitely be a bloody battle. The Khitan people themselves don't need anyone to be cowardly, and now Dadingfu is really the homeland of the Khitan people, and it is the place where they thrive.
In the story, in the script, and in the play, the enemy can be described as a cowardly nation as a mouse, but in reality, no nation in this world is truly cowardly.
Winners laugh at losers, and it's understandable. But that doesn't mean the losers are really vulnerable.
The siege began, more than 1,000 shells, and today it will be finished, and all of them will be killed.
Gan Qi sat on the platform, listening to the deafening, and the command and dispatch were very rigorous.
The walls were slowly devastated and the gates were shattered, but the inside of the gates had long since been clogged with earth and stones.
The battlements were smashed and the masonry was smashed, revealing the rammed earth inside.
The rammed earth slowly flew and the walls slowly collapsed, turning them into steep ramps.
The cavalry of the steppe tribes began to move forward, carrying a small amount of earth and stones, and filling the ramp a little, so that the horses' hooves could continue to leap up the city.
Killing the Khitans, for all the tribes of the grassland, it is also a deep hatred, and a bloody war has begun.
Gan Qi spoke: "Enter the city later, tell to go down, don't set fire, this city still needs to be used." ”
Di Yong on the side nodded: "Big brother, don't worry, you will only rob property, and you will not set fire." ”
Gan Qi said again: "Later, in the street fighting, let the generals be careful, but if there are strong men who are captured without restraint, they will all be killed." ”
Di Yong was also nodding: "Obey." ”
Gan Qi suddenly asked: "You say, what should these grassland people do after this battle?" ”
Di Yong was already frowning, and slowly analyzed: "If you return to your hometown, it may become a big disaster in the future, and if you forcibly stay in it, these grassland people will inevitably be homesick, and they are afraid that their respective tribes will be retaliated by the Khitans, and there will be chaos nine times out of ten." Difficult ......"
"yes, it's hard. If you return to the army, there will inevitably be chaos. Put it back, and it will be a disaster. It was these issues that Ganchi was clearly concerned about.
"The ...... of Trap Killing It's also inappropriate, it's too wasteful to kill him like this. It does not show benevolence and righteousness, and adds to the resentment, and if it really wants to control the grassland in the future, the resistance will be even worse. Di Yong continued to analyze.
"The method of disposal, first, to stabilize the minds of these people, if you want to stabilize the minds of these people, then you have to let them have no worries, and you can't let them keep worrying that the Khitans will retaliate against their tribes." Gan Qi said slowly, also analyzing himself.
He also said: "Second, we must make them serve under their command, and we can't let them be idle, once they have nothing to do, their hearts will inevitably fluctuate." Third, we must continue to build up majesty and subdue their hearts with majesty. ”
"Big brother already has a plan in his heart?" Di Yong asked.
Gan Qi was silent for a while, and said: "In this way, after the battle is over, divide all the departments into two, and divide 30,000 people from each department, under the command of General Shi Honglei, and enter the territory of Heichezi Murowei to prevent the Khitans from advancing westward into the grassland." In addition, General Shi Honglei was accompanied by 10,000 ironclad mighty troops. In this way, the ministries can have peace of mind. ”
The territory of Heichezi Murowei is on the grassland west of Linhuang Mansion, and Heichezi Murowei is also a grassland tribe of the same clan as the Khitans, and it is the most loyal tribe of the Khitan people in the grassland. Let Shi Honglei take 10,000 mighty troops and 30,000 grassland units to enter Heichezi Murowei, which is to completely cut off the passage of Khitans into the grassland.
"Big brother's method is very good, it can temporarily stabilize the hearts of the grassland people, and it can also allow the army to eat in the black car room to save food and grass. And what about the rest of the steppe people? Di Yong asked again.
"Now the steppe people are only about 70,000 people, and the remaining 40,000 people and the leaders of the various departments, you take them to the northwest, and bring the remaining mighty army with you, and go to the northwest, three things. The first thing is to prepare for war, which goes without saying. The second thing is to recruit soldiers, recruit the northwest men to replenish the mighty army, and first fill the mighty army. When the grain and grass are sufficient, it can continue to expand, subject to 100,000. ”
Gan Qi's thoughts are far-reaching, speaking of which, the only people and horses in his hands who can flexibly mobilize mobility are the mighty army, and now the establishment of the mighty army is 60,000 people, but after the Datong War, there were heavy losses, and the troops had to be replenished, and it was naturally best to go to the northwest to recruit troops.
When the grain and grass are sufficient, expand the mighty army to 100,000, which is the minimum requirement of Ganqi, and 100,000 people and horses who can move is not much for such a large country.
Therefore, Gan Qi tried every means to let Gan Ba transfer 300,000 stone of grain from the capital, but in fact, it was not enough, and he had to raise troops and expand the army, which was not enough, and he had to raise horses.
Ganchi also needed money to build more ordnance, money to reward many meritorious soldiers, and a large sum of money to compensate for the dead and wounded.
Money, food.
The most important thing is that we must not break our promises, and we must not break our promises to the officers and soldiers under our command. The meritorious rewards that I said before must be honored, and the pension standards that I said before must also be honored, and there can be no slight difference.
The combat effectiveness of this army must be maintained, and there must not be a single flaw in the popularity and prestige of Gan Xianggong in the army.
Di Yong nodded and asked, "Big brother, you just said two things, and what about one more thing?" ”
"The last thing, from the Hetao into the grassland, start to count the household registration of the Dingkou personnel of each department, break the tribal restrictions, give the grassland wind banner tent, and take advantage of the fact that the leaders of the various departments are under your command, you will start to do this." Ganchi is about to make another bad move.
"How do I divide the flag tent?"
"Not with tribes as the organization, but with people as the organization, 10,000 people are organized into one banner, each banner must contain many tribes, appoint nobles as the head of the banner tent, and disrupt all the original spheres of influence in the grassland. I will write a detailed charter on this matter and bring it to you when the time comes. ”
Half of Ganch's tactics came from the Manchu division of Mongolia, and half from the provinces of later China. The flags of the steppe, this is the practice of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Bringing many northerners in northern Jiangsu and many southerners in southern Jiangsu into the same province is conducive to the unity of the north and the south and preventing separatism in China. But this trick is used on the grassland, that is, it is to break up the tribes, cause internal conflicts, make it difficult for the various departments to gather troops and horses, and make the leaders anxious just to pacify their subordinates.
At the end of the day, it's about rule. It is conducive to Ganqi's control of the grassland in the future, and it is conducive to the establishment of state capitals and cities on the grasslands in the future, and the city is the center of gravity of the rule. Step by step, when the time comes, we have to build cities everywhere in the grassland, and send people to the grassland to educate people based on the city.
Education is the only basis for unity rule.
"Big brother, I understand, it is divide and rule and divide and rule." Di Yong understood a rough idea.
"yes, that's it." Gan Qi nodded, Di Yong was really getting better and better.
"Big brother has such a clever plan, he will definitely be able to pacify all the tribes of the grassland."
"Don't be so confident, such a strategy will take decades, and in the process, there will be no shortage of swords, and you should be on guard at that time." Ganchi is very clear-headed.
With three or four million square kilometers of grassland and two million grassland population, there must be a long-term and sustained strategy, and we must not really let the grassland produce Temujin.
At this time, the rangers came to report: "Xianggong, the various departments have entered the city countless times, but the war situation in the city is stalemate, and the grassland departments have suffered heavy losses. ”
Gan Qi nodded: "General Di, lead the troops into the city." ”
"The last will be ordered." Di Yong saluted, got off the stage and got on the horse, it was time to enter the city to fight, and use dozens of catties of iron armor to completely defeat the Khitan people's determination to repay the country with death.
It is also necessary to let the grassland tribes see the power of the Great Song Dynasty Iron Armor again, and strike a blow at the rebellious intentions of the grassland tribes.
Before Temujin came out, Ganchi wanted to completely subjugate the steppe.
Gan Qi got up from the chair of the general, looked north, and muttered: "I don't know how Wanyan Jurchen is now......
Wanyan Jurchen is also a great enemy, and the path of friends is almost at the end, and the day of being an enemy has come.
Shi Honglei will go to the grassland black car room Wei later, and he should also take it with him, and he should be strictly ordered that horses and horses are not allowed to enter the Great Xing'an Mountains, and pieces of iron are not allowed to enter the Great Xing'an Mountains.
Let the Khitan continue to survive, in fact, there is also an advantage, that is, let the Khitan people continue to fight with the Wanyan Jurchen. At this time, the Khitan, the remaining main forces, are all soldiers of a hundred battles, although they have lost battles one after another, but their combat power is extremely strong.
The south was occupied by the Great Song Dynasty, and the west could not enter the grassland, and the Khitans had to go north to bully those who gave birth to the real and mature women if they wanted to obtain more supplies.
"Fighting the Jurchen" is the tradition of the Khitan people, and the word "fighting" is not simply the meaning of war, but also the meaning of robbery, that is, bullying, how to bully and how to come. The reason why the Jurchens tried every means to rebel was that they were beaten to the point that they had no choice.
Now that Gan Qi is besieging the Khitans like this, he naturally forces the Khitans to continue to carry forward the tradition of "fighting the Jurchens" and fight hard.
Dadingfu City, corpses are all over the field, full of devastation.
When Gan Qi entered the city, there were old and weak women and children crying everywhere, most of these people were dressed in Han costumes, and Gan Qi couldn't bear to see it.
He went straight into the palace, and there were some concubines and maids in the palace, and the belongings they had looted everywhere were all over the place, and they were still being delivered.
Gan Qi looked at these busy soldiers and gave an even more ruthless order: "The Khitans in the city, women over the age of ten, all return and send them to Yanjing, and sell them in Yanjing when the time comes." ”
"Big brother, is that going to Bianliang and letting those big and small tooth shops come north to buy people?" Di Yong asked, because there are a lot of people, tens of thousands, if it is too troublesome to sell them one by one, let the tooth shop buy it, save worry and effort.
"No, just sell it to the military Han, when the class is in charge, the mighty army is the first, and the Wansheng army is second, in terms of quality, the price is consistent to ten runs, and it is sold directly in the barracks."
Gan Qi's arrangement, with a few birds in one stone, can recover part of the money he is given, and he can also arrange for his wives to inherit the family for those military men under his command.
"Order."
"Order, start counting the battle exploits tomorrow, and issue a part of the reward and pension." Gan Qi was generous, motivated on the spot, won the battle, and immediately shared the money.
Buying people's hearts, Gan Qi is serious, and even more sincere, nothing is as important as the hearts of the soldiers under his command.
If you are unwilling to ask for these distant lands, you can convert the money and give it now, but the price is low.
In Dading Mansion, the smoke of gunpowder is still there, the looting operation is still continuing, and the tragedy scene after scene is also continuing.
Gan Qi didn't look at this, and went straight out of the city into the barracks to rest.
At night, most of the soldiers went out of the city to rest, only Zhi Kexing with more than 10,000 men and horses in the city began to deploy and maintain order, the defender of this city is Zhi Kexing, he will be nailed here, the Liao State is divided into north and south.
Early the next morning, the army was full of food and drink, and continued to enter the city to search, and the Yuhou clerks everywhere also began to be busy.
Everywhere in the city was shouting "Gan Xianggong is mighty", because they all knew that Gan Xianggong was going to reward the three armies.
Gan Qi also patrolled the barracks a few times when he had nothing to do, showing his face, and if the soldiers met him, they would inevitably get down on one knee and shout a few times, either to thank Gan Xianggong, or to Gan Xianggong's might.
Corporal Gan Xianggong Lixian, from time to time he dismounted and chatted a few words, encouraged everyone, patted this soldier on the shoulder, and slapped that soldier on the chest. also boasted a few words, it was really majestic, a good man, not bad, a man who stood up to the sky.
Someone immediately shouted: "Swear to die for Gan Xianggong!" ”
"I am willing to smear the liver and brain of Gan Xianggong."
Gan Xianggong is beside him, there are also some civil officials of the Privy Council, that is, Gan Qi's subordinate officials, such as Zeng Xiaokuan, he likes to take a pen to record what happened on the battlefield, and naturally he also picks up notes from time to time to take notes on Gan Xianggong's deeds.
How can you not remember this kind of joyful scene at this time?
But Zeng Xiaokuan had just taken the pen, and the young Liu Fa walked up to him and said, "Zeng Chengzhi, don't write too much." Write more about how tragic the war was and how the soldiers sacrificed their lives. ”
Zeng Xiaokuan was taken aback, looked at the head of this Gan Xianggong's personal guard, and hurriedly put away the pen.
Liu Fa returned to Gan Qi and reported: "Xianggong, I have explained." ”
Ganchi nodded and continued to inspect the troops.
After staying in Dading Mansion for three days, Gan Xianggong prepared for the class.
At this time, the good news was already on the way to Tokyo. At this time, Gan Ba had just led the troops to the Daimyo Mansion, and he had not even passed the Hejian Mansion.
