Chapter 587: It's Not Scientific!
Emperor Chongzhen stared at Zhu Gang and said coldly: "Explain the situation to me clearly!" ”
Zhu Gang felt that his back was a little uncomfortable, he was already sweating hot, and now some cold sweat came out, which made it even more uncomfortable.
After calming down, Zhu Gang continued: "Your Majesty, the Tatars are now divided into pieces, attacking and harassing our army from time to time, and never fighting head-on. ”
Emperor Chongzhen snorted, and ordered Zhu Gang to retreat with some annoyance, and then ordered: "Spread the British Duke Zhang Zhiji, Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen, Pingbei Marquis Batel came to see me." ”
Damn, these barbarians have grown up, and they will play sparrow warfare and guerrilla warfare first when they are hundreds of years ahead, this is?
It's not scientific!
After Zhang Zhiji, Zhu Chunchen and the others were all together, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "You may or may not have heard of the information just now.
I briefly summed it up, that is, the barbarians broke into pieces and constantly harassed my soldiers and horses. ”
Zhu Chunchen, Zhang Zhiji and others naturally knew the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen's words - if it weren't for the fact that this kind of play was too disgusting, Emperor Chongzhen would not have called his own people together with such fanfare.
After settling down, Zhang Zhiji arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, this method of the barbarians is nothing more than the doctrine of constantly attacking and disturbing our armies, and even attacking and disturbing our army's grain routes, so as to achieve the goal of forcing my Ming Dynasty to retreat."
However, this method of raiding and harassing does have its effect, and at least our various soldiers and horses can no longer send out a small group of spies to find out information, let alone let a small group of soldiers go outside.
From this point of view, the barbarians are not all fools, but there are still some smart people. ”
Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said: "Naturally, this is the purpose, if we cut off our army's food route, my Ming Dynasty will have to retreat, and the purpose of the barbarians will be achieved!"
But the crux of the matter now is that since the barbarians have already made a move, then we have to deal with it. ”
Zhu Chunchen arched his hand and said: "According to what Your Majesty said before, as long as I have enough soldiers and guards here, I am not afraid of those barbarians coming to disturb me?" ”
Emperor Chongzhen laughed, but did not speak immediately.
Theoretically speaking, as long as there are enough people in the Ming Dynasty and enough soldiers, it is simply impossible for the barbarians to play this kind of attack and harassment tactics.
But in reality?
Later generations of Japanese slaves who almost became the 57th nation have proved the incomprehensibility of this method of warfare with their practical experience.
Sweeping, encirclement and suppression, Sanguang, all kinds of policies have not been completely solved, but have allowed them to develop and grow day by day, which is enough to prove the success of this tactic.
This tactic is no longer just a tactic, it can even be called a strategic tactic.
And the current Ming Dynasty is not even as good as the Japanese slaves of later generations, they don't even have cars, and they want to sweep it? Encirclement?
Dream on!
The only thing that can be achieved is the dock fort tactic or the turret tactic, and you can only get rid of these barbarians by advancing step by step.
However, when the turret is repaired to fill the grassland, will the grassland still be the same grassland?
More importantly, how many years does it take to complete?
It's very possible before Emperor Chongzhen is buried in the pit!
Of course, the strength of the Ming Dynasty is not comparable to the Japanese slaves of later generations, and if you really want to play like this, you can get certain results.
But in the end, there is only one problem, people.
If there are not enough people, any theory of sufficient concentration is-because the people of the Ming Dynasty are unwilling to immigrate here!
After a long time, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "That's it, order people to prepare here to build a city, immigrate, and move the guard here!" ”
Zhu Chunchen arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, why don't you let the Ministry of Railways build the railway first?" I can build more cities here, and the cities can be connected by rail? ”
Emperor Chongzhen shook his head again and said, "It depends on the situation." First build a railway from the Wanquan Division, as for whether to use the railway to connect the cities in the future, we can only see when the time comes, and there is no way to decide for a while. ”
But Emperor Chongzhen's next words made people hurt again: "It's the so-called coming without being rude!"
If these damned barbarians dare to attack and harass my armies, how can I turn a blind eye? ”
Zhang Zhiji's expression suddenly became excited, and he arched his hand towards Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you lead the troops to Hangai Mountain with Weichen, Xiahou, and Batel to find the barbarians for a decisive battle?" ”
Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said: "Go, I definitely want to go, but it's not you who go, but you who go with me!" ”
When Zhu Chunchen heard this, he immediately felt a sadness.
Where are you old man thinking about what to do without being rude, your old man is purely thinking about slashing people with knives, and by the way, taking revenge on these Tatar barbarians for slapping you in the face!
But if Emperor Chongzhen really wants to go to Hangai Mountain like this, then there will be a lot of troubles left - how many soldiers and horses does the emperor have to bring if he wants to go?
The most important thing is, if the emperor has some accident on the road, what will happen then? That's when the sky falls!
After pondering for a while, Zhu Chunchen bowed his hand to Emperor Chongzhen and said, "Your Majesty, why don't you go with Weichen and the British Duke with Xiahou and Battle?"
Your Majesty's golden body, why bother to venture into danger? Weichen promised His Majesty that he would definitely defeat those Tatar barbarians, so that they would not dare to look south at my Daming! ”
Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said: "Chengguo Gong doesn't need to persuade anymore, I have made up my mind!"
I just took the British duke, Liu Aiqing, Xia Aiqing, and Battle to lead 100,000 light horsemen together.
As for the matter here, as well as the matter of arranging for these barbarians to build the railway, it will be entrusted to Aiqing. ”
After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and instructed Wang Chengen: "Send someone to tell Hong Chengchou to build a railway from Wanquan Dusi to Huidu first, which will be double-lined, and two steam locomotives will go back and forth.
In addition, tell Xue Fengxiang of the Ministry of Industry and ask him to arrange for someone to come over and follow the orders of Chengguo Gong and build a city here in the capital!
Tell the Shaofu side that no matter what method they use, they must ensure the supply of cement here.
Tell the Ministry of Rites and the Zongren Mansion that after the Tang King and they enter Beijing, they will settle down first, and then let them meet when I return to Beijing. ”
After a series of orders were over, Emperor Chongzhen turned his head and said with a smile: "I went to Hangai Mountain this time, but I didn't just plan to teach them a lesson!" ”
Zhang Zhiji's heart moved, and he asked, "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”
The smile on Emperor Chongzhen's face looked a little hideous: "What Huo Quzhi did back then, I will do it!"
I want these Tatars to know what the consequences of angering me are! ”
Emperor Chongzhen's cold words were full of murderous intent, and Zhu Chunchen and other people who had been leading the troops for a long time couldn't help but shudder - they were really sad for these Tatars and provoked such an emperor!
……
After several days of marching, Emperor Chongzhen also felt a little unbearable.
But looking at these energetic killers around him, Emperor Chongzhen still lifted his spirits and quickly went to Hangai Mountain with the army.
Along the way, Xia Ezhe finally knew what happened to the remaining tribes when he followed his dead ghost father Khan south to Xuanfu.
As long as he sees a tribe, Emperor Chongzhen's first choice is to fence it off, and then force the men in the tribe to stand up.
Yes, completely wipe it out, kill all the people and animals that can be killed, cut off people's heads to build a Beijing temple and then erect a wooden monument, and those animals that can't be taken away are thrown everywhere.
The 50,000 Beijing battalions under Zhang Zhiji, as well as the 10,000 cavalry re-transferred from Battle's subordinates, plus the 20,000 cavalry under Liu Xingzuo, are all good people who build the Jingguan.
Chop off the head, pile the corpses into a mountain, fill in the soil, pile the corpses again, fill the soil again, and then put the human head on the top layer, and fill in another layer of soil, and a tall and big Jingguan is considered to be alive.
Repeatedly, as long as you find a tribe along the way, you will come back to do this.
Although Emperor Chongzhen's order was to slaughter the tribes that sent men to fight with Mosbatur Khan, but on the grassland, which tribe dared not send men?
If any tribe has really been reduced to the point that there are no men to fight, it is estimated that this tribe has already disappeared, and it is necessary to wait until Emperor Chongzhen goes?
In short, before Emperor Chongzhen rushed to Hangai Mountain, a total of twelve tribes were found along the way, all of which were built into Jingguan, without exception.
Soon, Xia Ezhe fell in love with the great art of Shangzhu Jingguan - Jing, which is called Gaoqiu; view, que type also. Whoever kills the enemy and kills the chieftain, and the corpse is displayed in battle, will build a Beijing view to deter the subordinate.
Xia Ezhe felt that this art was too great, and after ignoring the fact that his own tribe had also built more than a dozen Beijing Temples, Xia Ezhe even found Liu Xingzuo to study how to build Beijing Temples to make them more beautiful and atmospheric.
Seeing Hang Aishan in front of him, Xia Ezhe stretched out his horsewhip and pointed: "At the beginning, my father was mentally demented and tried in vain to be the enemy of the Holy Son of Heaven, so that the Chahar Department was built in Beijing for more than ten years.
Now that Xia has abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, returned to the Holy Son of Heaven, and been enlightened by the saint, it is really a blessing for three lives!
The Tatar barbarians do not know the number of days, and raise troops in vain, so that the lives are ruined, and we are fortunate to have the Son of Heaven Eagle Dog cut it down from the Son of Heaven, and should build a Beijing view also! ”
Liu Xingzuo reached out again and rubbed his forehead.
Big brother, are you my own brother? You're a fucking Tatar barbarian family, bastard! Your house has also been built in Jingguan, bastard!
You're a fucking Tatar barbarian now, why do you sound so good to the ear?
Shaking his head and throwing these messy thoughts out of his mind, Liu Xingzuo said: "Xiahou is right, it is time to build these barbarians into a Jingguan to declare force and deter disobedience!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen also stretched out his horsewhip and pointed at Hang Ai Mountain, and then said with a smile: "Okay, don't study the matter of Jingguan first, get off the horse and rest, in the afternoon, let's go directly to Hang Ai Mountain and kill the Tartars!" ”
……
The breeze is gentle, and although the weather is a little hot in June, it is still relatively cool compared to Daming.
Most of the Tatar herders who remained in the Hangai Mountains seemed to be leisurely and comfortable.
For these herders, this is probably the best time of the year.
It's early, it's cold, it's cold in the morning and evening, it's hot at noon, you have to put on a sheepskin robe in the morning, and you can't wait to take off your essence at noon.
Later, in the autumn, you have to be busy mowing and drying grass, milking cows and making cheese, in short, there is not much time to spare.
When winter comes, the howling cold wind is accompanied by a white plague, and it may take people's lives at any time.
Only in this June or so, can you let go of everything, as long as you can herd sheep and cattle with peace of mind, you don't have to think about mowing grass, you don't have to think about the white disaster or other messy things, except for grazing cattle and sheep, you can think about the Haas chess grid next door, and you don't have to think about the rest.
As for the Great Khan going to war with a large army, not many of the herdsmen cared.
If the Great Khan wants to fight, the tribe will send people to follow, and the warriors who died in the battle will return to the embrace of the Immortal Heaven, and the warriors who come back alive will get the spoils they deserve, so that the life of the family will be better.
As for defeat, it's actually nothing, I've heard of winning a hundred battles in a war, but I've never heard of being invincible.
A defeat is nothing, the Great Khan will win it back sooner or later, and when the time comes, will the good things of the Ming Kingdom in the south be able to get some of it from your own family?
The imagination is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, and it is not only cruel today, there is no tomorrow from today.
After Emperor Chongzhen crossed Hangai Mountain with a well-fed, well-rested army, he found such a huge tribe in front of him.
Unlike the tribes with about 10,000 people in the past, the tribes in front of me seem to have a lot of ...... Forget it, I can't see much at all, only the overwhelming tents, cattle and sheep, and the herdsmen shuttling in between.
Slowly pulling off his armor and pulling out the saber hanging from his waist, Emperor Chongzhen snorted and galloped forward.
Emperor Chongzhen's movements seemed to have turned on some kind of switch, and the 100,000 elite horsemen who followed behind Emperor Chongzhen also moved, put down their armor together, and then drew their sabers and surrounded the tribe in front of them.
The shaking of the ground made the people of the tribe also notice this army that suddenly appeared.
Judging by the shaking of the ground caused by the horse's hooves, this army was at least 100,000 people—after this defeat, his own Great Khan searched many tribes to gather another 200,000 troops.
This also means that it is impossible for the Great Khan to come back, because it is impossible for the Great Khan to divide his troops and run back.
Soon, the identity of this army was undoubtedly revealed—although many people didn't recognize the huge Ming characters on the fluttering banner, it was obviously the Chinese characters used by the Southern Barbarians!
Ming Army!
I don't have time to think about why the Ming army is here, let alone whether the Great Khan of my family is already cold, the most important thing the whole tribe should be about now is whether they can survive under these Ming army's hands!
No one would be naïve to think that these Ming troops were just passing by, or simply coming to visit.
