CHAPTER XIII

Yao Guangxiao clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's trumpet, "Amitabha Buddha ~ good and good~!" Then he continued: "Taizu is going to attack against attack, and kill a river of blood in Mobei!" However, Lao Wei is also in favor of ending the war with war, and killing with killing!

The characteristic of this Mobei clan is that they worship the strong, and would rather be the eagle dog of the strong than the people of the weak. In their eyes, my Ming Dynasty and Mobei, if you talk about knowledge, it is the difference between heaven and earth; If you are rich, you are the difference between a rich man and a beggar, but if you are strong, you are a wolf and a fat sheep.

I am a Ming Dynasty but all the people who have been educated uphold that everything must be a rational word, and everything must be accounted for, so if you want to lay out the facts and reason, you must use your brain and mouth, so in their opinion, this is a trick of words, bloodlessness, and waste. The big fist is the last word, whoever wins is justified, and there is no reason to talk about what loses.

Even if you have a thousand principles, ten thousand principles are not as good as my sword in their eyes, you will be able to farm and be self-sufficient and richer than me, and I will snatch the sword from your hand when you harvest, what can you do with me? Don't tell me those useless truths, I robbed you because you are a fat sheep, and I am also a fat sheep in the eyes of the chief, and the leader is also a fat sheep in the eyes of the Great Khan. Our Great Khan is the Wolf King.

Therefore, if Mobei wants to stop going south to rob my Daming, and they only recognize the sword and do not recognize reason, there is no need to reason with them, let go of the evil wolf of my Daming, help up a few wolf kings, rob him in the dark, and kill him in fear, until they belong to the king or move away from Mobei. ”

"Yes, the hero sees the same thing, Taizu and his old man also mean this, this is only a thousand days to be a thief, how can there be a thousand days to prevent thieves, the Great Wall has invested hundreds of thousands of defense troops on the front line, day and night defense, but it is still looted here today, and there is a looted place tomorrow, and hundreds of thousands of troops of my Ming Dynasty are scattered around the defense, but the enemy in Mobei does not need to scruple, just concentrate on attacking me, and the result is self-evident.

Judging from the situation of the enemy and us, our Ming Dynasty will be at a disadvantage for a long time, and if this situation continues and is not resolved, it will eventually drag down the national strength of our Ming Dynasty. Only by striking a fatal blow, that is, a national war, destroying the main forces of Tatar and Warat, and sweeping away the remnants of the tribes, can we completely solve the problem of Mobei, so that the first line of the Great Wall of our Ming Dynasty will change from a heavy border defense to a normal defense place, and from heavy defense to light defense, so as to get rid of this heavy burden.

And the land of Mobei can become the buffer zone of my Ming frontier, when the land of abundant water and grass is occupied by me, all tribes are placed under the jurisdiction of my Ming Dynasty, become the pasture of my Ming Dynasty, vigorously develop animal husbandry, and complement the agriculture in my Ming Pass, learn from each other's strengths, each take what it needs, and after the situation is completely stabilized, the pasture will be the center of the division of the territory and the feudal to the meritorious ministers.

If so, my Ming will be divided into the inside and outside of the Guan, the Guannei, as it is now, is the backbone of my Ming Dynasty, the emperor personally experienced the main place of government, and the outside of the Ming Dynasty will be handed over to the meritorious ministers to divide the land and rule, as long as they obey the orders of the emperor, pay taxes in full, and govern well, in addition to giving the title of the king can be hereditary. For the emperor, the land inside the pass must be fought for, and the place outside the pass is the front line, the battlefield place, just like the current Mobei, the land occupied by the previous two expeditions to Mobei has been lost, so there is no need to use the idea of governing the customs to control the outside of the pass, if there is a bad heart, other tribes can attack it in groups, divide their property and territory, the specialty of the cavalry is speed, if you go deep into the hinterland of my Ming Dynasty, then cut off its retreat, all die without a place to bury, this is a taboo in the art of war, the enemy of Mobei has always only plundered my Daming border town, never dare to go deep into the hinterland, That's it.

After the Mobei problem is completely solved, at least 300,000 border troops can be dismantled. The military expenditure saved by this can be used for people's livelihood and military development.

As we all know, our Ming Dynasty was an agrarian culture, self-sufficient, and had a variety of military weapons to fight the enemy, and the main type of force was infantry. The enemy of Mobei is a nomadic tribe, and the main type of army is cavalry. Since ancient times, cavalry has had an absolute advantage over infantry. In this day and age, though I am not afraid of cavalry, I will fight with cavalry with heavy troops, supplemented by chariot formations, repulsion horses, bows, firearms, and spears, so that I can match them and not fall behind. And why can't I destroy its main force so often? The reason is that if the cavalry can't break our battle formation, they will turn around and flee, so even if I win a big victory, it will be a small victory, and the enemy's losses will not be more than a few hundred thousands, and the infantry will not be able to catch up with the fleeing cavalry, and the infantry chasing the cavalry must prevent the cavalry from being defeated and counterattack after our infantry leaves the defensive position. Therefore, the infantry has a congenital deficiency of the cavalry, and if the infantry battle formation is broken by the cavalry, and then the cavalry is repeatedly attacked several times, the infantry will be completely rested, and the infantry itself cannot outrun the cavalry, so it cannot escape, so the defeat of the infantry is a big defeat.

Every time the infantry fights the cavalry, the infantry always has to be several times the cavalry, and must be fully prepared for battle, and the cavalry can fight at any time as long as it is in battle formation. The advantage of cavalry is incomparable to that of infantry, so there is a development of cavalry to Mobei and the hostile attack, anyway, Mobei does not have a pass and castle similar to my Ming Dynasty, as far as the advantage of cavalry to come and go freely, this is one of them. Wang Wenle took a big sip of dry tea and continued: "Second, Taizu and his old man have been thinking about the method of breaking the cavalry of the infantry for many years, and finally found a strategy to break the cavalry, which is called the method of death in two hundred steps. That is, as long as half of the enemy can be killed or wounded within a distance of 200 paces, the enemy can be completely annihilated.

First, the guns began firing at a distance of 600 paces from the enemy, disrupting the formation of the cavalry and weakening their morale. Second, when the enemy is 50 paces away from us, the spearmen will retreat and shoot in three stages, with the pikemen holding a six-meter spear, the first row will bend down and hold the gun in his left hand, the handle of the gun will be inserted diagonally into the ground, the right foot will step on the handle of the gun, the head of the gun will be aimed at the eye of the opponent's mount, the right hand will hold the hilt of the waist, the left leg will be arched forward, the gun will resist the horse, and the knife will kill the enemy; The second row also bent down, and the spears were stabbed flat on the shoulders of the first row of spearmen; The third row of spears was also placed on the shoulders of the second row of spearmen, and the rear row held guns and waited to replenish the front row or charge. Fourth, the long-gun soldiers began to shoot freely. Fifth, while the enemy has fled, the cavalry will continue to shoot until the enemy has fled 200 paces away, so that the cavalry will be basically wiped out......"
