537 points pasture
However, if he wants to do this all at once, Shangwu feels that relying on the strength of just one regiment is too thin.
"We also need to build more, more cavalry like this, only so many cavalry, although they will not fight like cavalry, but they can meet a demand for their strength to the greatest extent, and such a demand is also a great improvement for them." Shang Wu said.
"I think that this kind of organization can be used among mountain divisions, and it just so happens that we have such herdsmen, and these herdsmen need to be transformed so that they can accept us. In this way, our troops can be expanded. Plenty of horses to replenish. Jia Xu said. Jia Xu immediately saw the key point, that is, they lacked enough horses, and only by relying on local people could the Republican army get such a large number of horses, which was the most critical step in solving the current problem.
"It seems that we also have to be prepared, that is, we also need to make our people understand that the purpose of this is to get more horses, so that our situation can be better transformed, otherwise, such a situation will definitely have a great disadvantage for us." Shang Wu said.
In fact, the victory of the republican army is not a military victory, but more of a political, economic, and institutional victory, if there is no such victory as a kind of support, many things will not be carried out very smoothly, This is a situation that is well understood by all who have been obtained, and it is only such a situation that can allow the IRA to maintain such an advantage. This was the secret of the Republican Army's victory.
Hexi, the Xiongnu tribes occupied by the Republican Army have now become one of the most important supply depots of the Republican Army. A large number of troops, as well as logistical supplies, arrived here one after another. And the herders here are also very busy solving all kinds of problems.
"Is this true? Sir, we really don't believe that such a thing could happen, after all, such a situation is simply too hard for us to believe people. Ah Niu said that he was a Hun and his mother was Han. My father went out to fight and went to people. But it's hard to say whether they will be able to come back. Because their tribe is originally a marginal tribe, men go to the battlefield to fight, if it goes well, it may bring not much loot, but if it doesn't go well, some people will die. Some were able to come back to the corpse, and some just told you that in short, everything was not too good.
The pastures grazed by this marginal tribe are relatively barren. They don't have too many cattle, sheep, and horses. Every herder aspires to have their own pasture, so that they can develop more. The lives of their tribes, as well as their own families, will be improved even more, and everyone has that hope. It's a pity that the pastures belong to the chiefs, not to them personally.
But the Republicans, who had defeated and occupied their pastures, suddenly had to give them pastures, and if they provided them with horses, they would get a very large piece of pasture. That meadow will be registered, and it will have its own name. This makes the herders very happy. Ah Niu is such a person, not long after their tribe was defeated, he just knew that the two nearby tribes divided the pasture. The whole tribe was very happy. He didn't know that such news was not true, he went out to do business, and he knew the Chinese spoken by the people of the Central Plains. He would like to be able to hear about the case.
"Yes. That's it, I'm a Hun and never lie. Tru said. His current rank is sergeant. Although he is a soldier, he can do some things on his own.
He had been fighting with a large army before, but in fact, when he saw the republican army attacking the Hun tribes, he was very unhappy and depressed. He even thought of deserting and leaving here with those horses.
But then his commander found him, because he could defend and the Huns, and he was very suitable for such a job. A brand new mission.
Tru didn't know that he still had such a talent.
His commander told him that the Republican army would kill the Huns when they came here, and that was an order from above. If you kill at will, you will be subject to military law.
Trew nodded, he knew that the military law of the republican army was very strict, and those who wore white armbands were the ones who specialized in performing such tasks, don't look at their small number, but all the soldiers saw it, they would become extremely serious and cautious, even the officers they also had the right to check, and they were the most powerful people in the republican army.
The reason for choosing him above is very simple, because he is a Hun and the most convincing, and the task given above is very simple, sell the pasture to those Huns, and they will go on here.
When he heard the news, Tru couldn't believe it, because the pasture belonged to the leader, and they gave the leader cattle, sheep, horses, and if necessary, they had to follow the leader to fight. What is the grassland is the life of the grassland people. Without a good pasture, the whole tribe will not be good, so the importance of the grassland is very clear to all the grassland people.
However, it is really to let the pasture out of the people. He himself felt a little unreal. Unreal, and Ah Niu, he thinks, this is a little impossible, this is the Han people deceived them, but to deal with such a thing, it is a Hun like Tru, which is difficult for them to believe that it is true, they feel that it is too unreal.
"Do you think it's fake?" Tru asked.
Ah Niu didn't answer, just nodded, he also felt that it was not true.
"I was a prisoner of war in the Republican Army, and the Republican Army was a prisoner of war at will, and if they killed prisoners of war, they would also suffer a lot of punishment, so I survived. Those republicans are good people, they give you pasture, they give you pasture, I saw a lot of Han people over there, and they also got land, and there was a lot of land, more than ours. Tru said.
"Ahh Ah Niu was very surprised when he heard this, he really didn't expect such a result.
"It's hard to believe that this is what I did, in fact, when the Republican army attacked our tribe, I was in a very bad mood, and I felt very bad, but now, I suddenly feel that all this is much better than I thought, and this kind of thing is much better than any time I have ever been." Tru said. Ah Niu believed. He decided to go back and talk to his tribesmen. They should believe in the Republican Army, and as for the chiefs, they may not like the chiefs when they have their own pastures. Because the chieftain will be insatiable to take away many, many things from them, cows, sheep, horses, and newborn lambs, and they hope that such things will expand their flock. It's a pity that the chiefs won't listen to people like them.
In this way, the Republican Army shook the economic foundation of the Xiongnu steppe at once. The ownership of the pastures, in fact, was just a continuation of the Republican Army's land policy. It's just that the arable land has become pasture, but in reality, this will still lead to the emergence of larger pastures, and the herders don't care about that, they care about how much actual benefit they can get, and the benefits given by the Republican army are obviously much better than their leaders. Despite the fact that the Republican Army is Han Chinese, and only a very small number of them are Huns, does it matter? No. The pasture was given to them, and that was given to them the day.
Such a truth is too simple.
Hedong, Maheng's forward headquarters.
"This order. It can't be executed for the time being. This Ma Liu had already rushed over with people. But after all, they only had the strength of a regiment. The strength of this regiment is too small. Ma Heng said worriedly. Ma Liu's battle plan looks very reckless, but it is very bold. They only had more than 2,000 attacking troops, and they all launched an attack. When Ma Heng saw such a battle plan. He himself found it hard to believe.
"Sir, I think we should mobilize two more regiments into Hexi, preferably with three or five battalions of cavalry battalions. In this way, their combat effectiveness can be greatly improved, which is the most beneficial result for us, after all, we lack too many troops to provide follow-up support. In addition, we also need to gain a firm foothold in the land west of the river, in this case, there will be a serious shortage of troops. The staff officer said.
"But the problem is that the logistics supply line, at most, has given us a supply of one and a half divisions, and you provide it like this, especially the situation of the cavalry, which has surpassed our demand situation, which is very unfavorable for us." Ma Heng said worriedly.
"It seems that the commander can only decide. After all, the changes in the war simply cannot be measured by plans. The staff officer said. No matter what kind of battle plan is formulated, as soon as the war starts, basically half of it will be blind, because the changes are very fast, and those of them who are staff officers have a good understanding of this aspect, and this kind of thing has not happened once or twice.
"It seems that this is the only way to go. I'm going to give it a try, and if it doesn't work, that's all I have to do. Ma Heng said. The staff officer nodded.
