Chapter 396: The bayonet is the general's reputation
Cao Meng's speed of marching was very fast, and Bi Yuntao was not much slower, and it took more than half a month to complete Guoxing's strategic concept, because they did not fight, they were just marching all along. Guoxinga overestimated the cohesion of the princes of each banner, overestimated the speed of the transformation of herdsmen into cavalry, and overestimated the loyalty of herdsmen to the princes.
There is also a Zasak Auxiliary Duke in the Hulunbuir grassland, which Goxinga already controls, and he hardly actually controls any armed forces except for more than 100 guards in his palace. The herdsmen also obeyed his orders, but more often than not, as if they were taking orders from their superiors, and there was no deep affection. Guo Xing'a thinks that this guy who shoots the sycophants of the Great Wall every day has been sinicized for a long time, and his rights have long been hollowed out by the head of Hulunbuir, so he is so general. As a result, I didn't expect that the Northern Four Banners under the Zhelimu League were also similar to Hulunbuir, except for the more than 100 guards around him, there was no standing armed force at all. Cao Meng and Bi Yuntao's army, they were taken down in a surprise attack, and the guards who could only scare the herdsmen with blades had no combat effectiveness at all. The princes did not have an order to assemble, and even if the herdsmen saw their lord being captured, they would not reach out and take care of it, and they would be busy studying what to eat at night!
The herdsmen were just warriors who did not take up arms, as long as the commander gave the order, they picked up bows and arrows and scimitars, they were the fearless cavalry on the Mongolian plateau. However, at present, there are a lot of herdsmen's leaders, and the princes of the tribe can manage them, and the officials of the court can also manage them. Therefore, when General Jilin, who represents the authority of the imperial court, clashed with the princes, the herdsmen could watch the excitement, and there was no cavalry to convey orders for them to gather arms, so why should they fight against the imperial court.
After the princes were taken down, Bi Yuntao and Cao Meng gave a little less grain and announced the herdsman policy of Guoxing'a, and the people of the Four Banners quickly threw away their previous masters and happily threw themselves into the arms of Guoxing'a. Gohinga's pastoral policy is simple, it can be said that it is a procurement program. He promised to purchase cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock from herdsmen on a quarterly basis, and to provide herdsmen with subsidies in terms of grain, vegetables, and wine. These things are not a big deal, but they solve the most critical problem of herders, and the root cause of their poverty is that they cannot sell their livestock, cannot buy things from outside, and there are annual black and white disasters. Goxinga's promise has almost solved all the problems, the herdsmen's livestock can be sold, and the outside things are subsidized by Goxinga, and the old and weak livestock will be sold to Goxinga to eat meat, and they will not have to worry about black and white disasters. The problem that has not been solved by Changshengtian has been solved by Guoxing A, and those who don't listen to Guoxing listen to whom. After the political cadres went deep into the tribe to publicize it, the simple herdsmen thoroughly identified with the government of North Manchukuo and the great hero Guoxinga. As for the princes and lords who were taken away by the soldiers, the herdsmen kindly thought that they had been invited to the city by the generals to enjoy their blessings.
Of course, the black-hearted Guoxinga also did something behind the herdsmen's back to harm their interests. Many areas in the territory of the Four Banners are suitable for farming, and of course Guoxing'a has to reclaim this part of the land, and of course it has to reduce the pastures of the herdsmen. Fortunately, the herders do not have a particularly strong concept of land, as long as there is a place for them to graze, they do not care.
Guo Xing'a didn't dare to really do anything to these captured princes, their family has been in control of the Mongolian steppe for five or six hundred years, and the so-called tree has deep roots. Guo Xing'a can put these princes under house arrest and control them, but it is really difficult to kill them, otherwise the grassland will definitely become panicked. The herders can watch Goxinga arrest people, but Goxinga will not agree to cut off these families. So in the end, it was against the routine of the Eight Banners family, Guo Xing'a ransomed the rights of the princes with a lot of money, got them to the city, and fed them with good wine and food, praying that they could become future grassland capitalists.
The guards of the princes of the Four Banners were confiscated, but they were assigned to a new mansion and were brought to Harbin by Guo Xing'a to be raised. The treatment of the active surrender and the pre-battle uprising must be different, and the Zasak auxiliary prince of Hulunbuir can eat, drink and be merry in Hailar, and even retain some of the traditional rights. The four families of the North Four Banners could only stay in Harbin, where they were unfamiliar with their lives, and they had nothing but the money given by Guoxing'a.
Compared with the four who have no rights but still have money, several of the Horqin Six Banners have more headaches, Bo Ritu and Cao Meng led the army into the Horqin grassland, forcing them to gather in Zhelimu to be humiliated by a small leader. The three great Buddhas, Dorji, Punsuk, and Wangkul, did not dare to drive Bozhtu out of the tent again, and could only look at the high-spirited Bozhtu, sitting in front of them, drinking mare's milk wine and nibbling on the leg of mutton.
"What do you prince want to do, he violated the rules set by the emperor, and the court will not let him go." Dorji also knew that Guo Xing'a would not be afraid if he dared to do it, but he still had to mention that the imperial court gave himself courage.
"The general prefers to be called a general, and you are not outsiders, and it is better to call him a general like us! Besides, our general just purchased cattle and horses from a few princes, and where the rules were messed up, it was not that he didn't give money. In the future, a large number of grains and vegetables will be sent to the grassland, which will be of great benefit to you and your people! "Bo Ritu handled the leg of lamb very carefully, and sprinkled it with cumin and pepper that he brought himself, and ate it very happily. While pointing out the wrong name of Dorji, looking at a few princes whose facial features were distorted because of his appearance, he felt as happy as he wanted.
"Your prince has plundered the North Four Banners and captured the local princes!" If Punsuk didn't really have no soldiers, he would have the heart to fight with Bo Zhtu. At the same time, he also secretly hated Monk Greenqin in his heart, the affairs on the grassland are everyone's business, Monk Greenqin's family not only refused to come forward, but only picked up cheap in the back, and Monk Greenqin also took away the elite cavalry under everyone's command. If it weren't for the main force to be brought to Monk Lingqin to quell the chaos in Guannei, they would have been afraid of more than 3,000 people in Bozhitu.
"The Northern Fourth Banner is the territory of the Great General, and the Great General is just disciplining his subordinates! The local prince was not taken away! The general saw that they were living a miserable life on the grassland, and took them to the city to enjoy happiness! In the Gaomen compound in Harbin City, there are beautiful maids to serve, which is no stronger than drinking wind in the grassland! "The Bo Ritu knife and chopsticks are perfectly matched, and the meat and wine are even more enjoyable to eat and drink.
"What do you want to do with your troops into our territory?" Dorji gave up grinding his teeth and said it directly!
"It's nothing, the general just wants to buy cattle and horses from the princes!" Bo Zhi Tu is breezy and light, and if there is no neighing of horses riding horses outside the tent, the artistic conception is very perfect.
"Purchasing cattle and horses, why bother with an army?" Dorji asked a very silly question.
"Shengjing's Tepqin General is old and sick, and our general has the heart to take over the entire Zhelimu League to share the worries of the old general!" Faced with Dorji's stupid question, Bo Zhitu was a little confused about how to answer.
"Each flag belongs to the imperial court and has its own laws, how can you let your prince act arbitrarily?" Punsock and the others fantasize about something unrealistic.
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Bo Ritu still wanted to coax these princes, but Cao Meng interrupted him a little bit without giving him face.
"The general's military orders are like a mountain, and his words follow the law, but today's things are only allowed and not, where is there so much verbosity. If you want to preserve your dignity and wealth, you must obey orders, and the general will not treat you badly. If you are obsessed, the athletes under the command of the general also have swords and guns in their hands, and they will complete the general's task! "Guoxing'a urgently needs animal power to develop agriculture, Cao Meng knows that Guoxing'a is in a hurry, he has no patience to grind his teeth with these fat guys.
"You dare? Do you dare to touch us? "Dorzi and the others have never been threatened like this.
"!" Cao Meng kicked over the small table in front of him and pulled out his spear.
Cao Meng turned his face, and the soldiers outside the tent all moved. Although the Mongolian guards were brave, their training was too bad, and before they could pull out their waist swords, iron pipes were put on their heads. The cavalry, who did not dismount, relied on their tall mounts and began to attack the Mongol cavalry. The distance was too close, the Mongol cavalry was caught off guard, and their horses were short, and they were immediately overturned by the Don hippopotamus that the light cavalry regiment had just replaced, and even the princes' tents were lifted.
"Cao Meng, sit down for me! All the princes are also angry, and they have something to say! Bo Ritu quickly stood up and protected several princes with his body.
The guards around the big tent were all driven away, and now there were cavalry of the Gu'an Army all around, and the sabers were shining with cold light, and the necks of several princes were chilled for a while. Bo Ritu is just coercing, this Cao Meng is a bastard, and the princes have to rein in, otherwise they will provoke Cao Meng, and their lives will not be guaranteed.
"The old man in Beijing City has been beaten, and I can still be afraid of a few of you miscellaneous fish!" Cao Meng put away the gun and sat back indignantly, but returned the right to speak to Bo Ritu.
"It's just for some cattle and horses, why bother to fight each other! The general went out to eighty percent of the market price, and the grain, rice, and wine he gave, the princes did not suffer! The white face has been sung by Cao Meng, and Bo Ritu hurriedly seized the opportunity to sing the red face, but Cao Meng just refuted his face, which made Bo Ritu very uncomfortable.
"Your prince has sent millions of catties of grain, and we will hand over the livestock immediately!" Dorji was still unconscious, but his attitude was much softer.
"This road is difficult, where can it be sent so quickly, a few people handed over the cattle first, and the general promised that before the beginning of autumn next year, all the grain will be delivered!" Goxinga just wants to use these animals to produce food, and then pay the bills, and now of course there is nothing.
"Empty gloves white wolf! Why should we believe in Him, when the food arrives, come and ask for livestock? Punsuk was frightened, but his mind was even more unclear.
"The bayonet on the muzzle of the soldier is the credibility of the general, indicating that the beginning of autumn next year is the beginning of autumn next year, and the livestock must be delivered this year!" Cao Mengdu was about to get sick from these idiots, and even the Mongolian guards who were fighting muskets with scimitars against muskets felt that their headsmen's brains were a little short-circuited.
"Alright! But you have to make a note! Dorji and the others wanted to continue to be stupid, but the old butler sent by Seng Lingqin's family stopped them and agreed to Goxinga's feeble request. Although the title of Monk Grinqin was new, he had the highest prestige among the princes of Jerim, and the representatives of his family agreed, and the Dorji people could only recognize it.
Indeed, as Xing'a expected, after settling the Zhelimu League, the Xilin Gol League did not make any meaningless resistance, and before Cao Meng's army arrived, they obediently handed over the cattle and horses. The Zhao-Uganda League also followed suit and obediently handed over the cattle and horses as required. Even Guo Xing'a didn't notice the Zhuo Suo Tumeng, and symbolically sent 30,000 horses to show his friendship. After Guo Xing'a received the horse, he understood and gave back 250,000 taels of silver to Zhuo Suotumeng. The Zhuosuo Tu League is no better than the Mongolian league flag like the Jelimu League, which has been very sinicized. Handing over 30,000 horses from them was a huge face, and Guo Xing'a had to win them over, so he paid according to the market price.
After the cattle and horses returned, most of them were assigned to the village to start working, but some of the good horses in the right year were selected by Goxinga. Although Mongolian horses are hard-working, can adapt to very extensive feeding management, have strong vitality, withstand severe cold and high temperatures, are not frightened on the battlefield, and are extremely brave, they are still a little short compared to European horses, and they are not enough to use as war horses or pull horses. Therefore, Guo Xing'a, who has seen mixed horses bred in China in his previous life, should also engage in horse breed improvement and breed some mixed horses with more points.
The three major horse breeding areas in New China are all in the northeast, but the best of them is not in the jurisdiction of Guoxing'a, and Guoxing'a is embarrassed to bully Tepuqin, so he picked two places by himself. One is the beautiful Hulunbuir prairie, and the other is the plain near Jilin, which is used to breed their own good horses. Of course, the two places are also slightly different, the direction of cultivation in the Hulunbuir area is biased towards military war horses, and the direction in Jilin is biased towards pulling horses. There is no need to choose a horse breed, there is experience in the previous life, and it can be directly crossed. It stands to reason that Guo Xing'a, a city man in his previous life, and was not engaged in animal husbandry, should not know this knowledge. But once in his previous life, when Guo Xing'a and his wife went to Jilin to play, the car broke down halfway, and when the car was repaired, Guo Xing'a saw a monster in the village, a giant horse with muscles of 1.7 meters. After returning home, Goxinga began to collect information about the giant beast of the Northeast Horse, and of course he kept it all in mind.
In terms of good breeds, there is really no shortage of Goxinga, British thoroughbreds, Sharma, German Hanoverian horses, Arabian horses, and French horses have all been captured when fighting with the British and French forces, and China's local sweat-blooded horses, Tianma, and Mongolian horses have also been obtained in Beijing Guoxinga, and the Nordic Budyonny horses, Don hippos, Belgian heavy horses, Orlov fast horses, and Danish Frederiksburg horses have all been made up by Lao Maozi. The only ones in Goxinga were American breeds such as Morgan horses, quarthorses, and Appalousa horses, but soon someone came to solve this problem for him, Ma San's letter was delivered, and the Peter brothers arrived in Changchun.
