Chapter 685: Declaration of Righteous War

readx; The condition that Alu Buhua put forward to Zhu Youzhen was to personally inspect the Qin soldiers. www.biquge.info If Zhu Youzhen is telling a lie, it will definitely be immediately exposed, because the barracks are not something that ordinary people can enter if they want to, or no matter how rich and powerful you are.

But for Zhu Youzhen, is this still a problem? He immediately arranged for Alu Buhua to go to Juzhou, and let Li Laiheng receive him with the highest standard. Seeing the Qin soldiers' neat military appearance, strict military discipline, and Li Laiheng's enthusiastic attitude towards him, Alu Buhua completely dispelled his concerns.

In contrast to the Ming people's little knowledge of Yarkand, Aru did not spend many years doing business in the interior and had a fairly thorough understanding of the political situation in the Ming Dynasty. He knew that generals like Zu Dashou, Mao Wenlong, Zuo Liangyu, Zheng Zhilong, and even Hong Chengchou could not effectively control their actions because they had heavy troops, and the imperial court was counting on them to fight the one hand, and lacked the means to restrain them on the other. In his opinion, the Qin soldiers are also such a force, no matter who their actual controller is, it is not the imperial court anyway, and it can be used by their Yarkand Khanate.

Therefore, after he returned to the Western Regions, he tried his best to advise Sultan Abdul Rayin, adopted Zhu Youzhen's suggestion, and established a secret alliance with the Qin soldiers. Of course, Qin Bing is not Zhu Youzhen's only weight, and in order to impress the Sultan, he has to come up with a lot of money to lure. Abdul Ra was tempted by gold on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was indeed tossed by the Dzungar Ministry and had no tricks, so he hit it off with Zhu Youzhen.

Because both sides were afraid of being known by the imperial court and causing big trouble, Zhu Youzhen and Yarkand did not sign any written contract. In order to show his sincerity to Yarkand, Zhu Youzhen gave Abdul Rain 30 bird guns and some ammunition. In fact, for firearms, daily maintenance and sufficient ammunition supply are the guarantee of combat effectiveness, and this point of firearms and ammunition really does not play a role. But Abdul Rain was like a treasure, and gave all these birds to his guards, and he was reluctant to use them in normal times, just carrying them to scare people.

Since then, the Dawan horses of Central Asia have been continuously transported to Shaanxi through the Yarkand Khanate, and there have been as many as 1,000 horses so far. Of course, Zhu Youzhen also paid tens of thousands of taels of gold and countless teas for this, which was converted into at least hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which was also one of the biggest expenses of Qinwangzhuang.

From these more than 1,000 Dawan horses, Zhu Youzhen selected 500 fat, strong, and explosive horses, all of which were allocated to Li Laiheng and asked him to form a heavy cavalry unit. As for the heavy cavalry companies of other generals, they have to be sorry, because at this stage there are really not so many war horses that meet the standards.

The most critical war horse has been solved, and the other links are easy to say. The heavy cavalry was selected by Li Laiheng from all the cavalry, many of which were blacksmiths. Li Laiheng's requirements for them are: they don't need to know any fancy tricks, as long as they have great strength and can move their maces!

The weapons and equipment of the heavy cavalry were all from the Qinwangzhuang Arsenal. The armor of men and horses is tailor-made to ensure that all parts are protected, so that there is no fear of bows and arrows. As for the weapons, Zhu Youzhen stole the division from the Jurchens, because the white-armored soldiers of Houjin were also heavy cavalry, and they used maces, which were heavy in weight and had sharp thorns, which could be said to be a combination of blunt and sharp weapons.

The next step is training. Zhu Youzhen knew that among the thousands of troops, one or two heavy cavalry could not play any role at all, and they had to form a certain scale in order to exert their due might. So he strictly ordered Li Laiheng to prohibit heavy cavalry from participating in the battle against thieves in peacetime, to minimize unnecessary casualties, and to devote all his energy to training. Over the course of a few months, the 500 cavalry and their horses had adapted to the heavy armor and mastered the essentials of heavy sprints, which led to today's victory.

This is only in terms of weapons and equipment, and from the entire campaign arrangement of this re-set operation, Zhu Youzhen and his 5,000 cavalry also fought continuously with great perseverance and resolutely carried out the combat intention.

Since the 3,000 infantry had been tasked with luring the enemy, the 5,000 cavalry had been hiding in the Mu Us Desert to prevent the Mongols from discovering them. It wasn't until he saw the first puff of wolf smoke rising from the car formation that Zhu Youzhen sent a small reconnaissance force to monitor the movements of the Mongols from afar.

When Timur gathered all his troops to storm the chariot formation, Zhu Youzhen finally ordered the cavalry to attack. However, their target was not the main force of Timur, but the various tribes of the Ordos tribe scattered across the Hetao Plain. Because it was impossible for the Mongols to take women and children with them in battle, all the tribes did not have any ability to defend themselves at this time, and they were caught off guard by the Qin soldiers, and no one ran out.

Zhu Youzhen did not go on a killing spree like the Mongols, but only tied up all these women and children and imprisoned them in yurts, leaving a few soldiers to guard them, and the cattle and sheep did not move at all. From the outside, it seems as if the tribes were not attacked. Only those nobles were captured and acted with the army, and this was the one who was used to shake the hearts of the Mongol army before the start of the war.

After annihilating almost all the Mongolian tribes in a few days, Zhu Youzhen also saw the second puff of wolf smoke ignited in the car array. According to the pre-agreed signal, this means that the main force of the Mongolian army has been seriously weakened, extremely tired, and the fighters for the decisive battle have arrived. Zhu Youzhen arranged for the Qin soldiers to sleep well for a few hours, and then used suspicious soldiers to prevent the Mongolian army from escaping. Needless to say, what happened after that, in short, all this, combined with the arrogance and stupidity of the Mongols, made this unprecedented victory!

If it was the Mongols who won the battle, then no need to ask, the next thing was a massacre. These Mongolian soldiers also seemed to have a premonition of their fate, and when they saw Zhu Youzhen appear, they were even more frightened, thinking that their lives had entered the countdown.

Zhu Youzhen looked around the audience and suddenly shouted: "You are also human beings, and you have the right to live just like us!" ”

At this time, not only the Mongols were stunned, but even many Qin soldiers looked at Zhu Youzhen in surprise, not understanding why His Royal Highness the King of Qin did not order all these enemies to be killed, but instead spoke for them.

At this time, tens of thousands of people on the grassland were silent, listening carefully to Zhu Youzhen's declaration: "But you can't deprive others of the right to live just because you want to survive!" What a wolf, what a great pioneer, it's all nonsense, this is a crime, a complete crime against humanity!

"For thousands of years, your ancestors and yourselves have committed heinous sins against us. So today we are attacking you and recovering your land, and it is a just war, as opposed to your evil war for the purpose of slaughter and plunder. What is different from you is that we talk about benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith, and the word benevolence comes first. So, we're not going to kill you. But you must spend the rest of your lives atoning for your sins and for your ancestors!

"You must change your way of life and live in peace with us, so that the grasslands will still be yours. But if you don't want to change, we will force you to change, because we are not obliged to pay for your ignorance and barbarism with our precious lives and the wealth created by our hard work! Today's war is just the beginning, and in a few years, when there are no more man-eating wolves on the steppe, and you no longer have the ambition and ability to invade, you will be able to regain your freedom. You'd better be like us and look forward to this day sooner rather than later! Now, class teacher! ”
