Chapter 96: Northeast Strategy

Tan Feng appointed Wang Jingwen as the governor of Eastern Mongolia, which is actually the current plan to appoint a large number of Mongols, and for security reasons, he appointed his own woman as the governor of Eastern Mongolia. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Wang Jingwen is the best choice for the governor of Eastern Mongolia, both in terms of identity and relationship with herself.

Tan Feng recruited a large number of Mongols, and there was no way to do this. Of course, he also knows that the Han people in the northeast are probably not as loyal to themselves as the Mongols! This is indeed a bit sad to say, after all, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has ruled for many years, and it is not that two sentences can cause a sensation if the restoration of the Han Dynasty can be a sensation.

The reason why Tan Feng was able to accumulate some Han cavalry was because many of these Han people were Mongolian herdsmen, plus some Han people in the northeast of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, these Han people had no sense of belonging to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. And Tan Feng's continuous victories are the only way to maintain this collective loyalty.

"I can't afford to lose, as long as I lose once, how loyal my subordinates are, it's hard to say!" Tan Feng said with a wry smile.

Tan Feng's predicament is similar to that of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he can't lose, and he can't even allow a miserable victory. The loyalty of his subordinates is based on constant victory, and if he loses once, even if it is only a miserable victory, there is nothing he can do.

In this case, the Mongols are not appointed, so what to do?

Riding back to the area, Tan Feng was ready to explain the task.

"Next, we will occupy the whole of the Northeast, and we must co-opt all the Han Chinese." Tan Feng said.

Xu Qifeng asked, "What if those Han people don't agree with our co-optation?" ”

Tan Feng replied directly: "What we did at that time, we will do now!" ”

The meaning of Tan Feng's words is obvious, if the Han people in the northeast do not agree to the incorporation, Tan Feng allows them to use coercive means. Counting on his own sentence to recover the Han River, he can make the Han people in the Northeast join one after another? This fool!

Just like Li Zicheng and Nurhachi, who just started back then, are they all so "popular", which one didn't start by coercion? Even including the old wild boar Pinurhachi, didn't he rely on forcibly absorbing a large number of conquered various ethnic minorities in the Northeast, and then formed the Eight Banners, which had the foundation of the Manchus?

When any strength is just starting out, it is impossible to have no original sin, and they all rely on coercion or semi-coercion to fool people in. Of course, if you can continue to win and establish your own base, so that people's hearts are stable, there will be many people who choose to follow you. Because on the one hand, they have gained benefits, and on the other hand, they have also seen the hope of becoming the founding fathers, which is the foundation for the gradual stability of their hearts.

"According to my estimates, there are about 200,000 Han Chinese in the Northeast. Of course, if you want to find them all, this is not easy. We can first forcibly incorporate all the people in those important strongholds. All the young and middle-aged men were forced to join the army. All women, old and infirm, are responsible for all kinds of logistics. The women are responsible for cooking, the elderly are responsible for doing some light work, and for the younger children, they are arranged to do some work according to their age. ”

"Of course, in the evening, let some literate people teach the little ones to read. You don't need to be very literate, just literate! ”

"Everyone, men, women and children, is militarized. It is all managed by the establishment of the army, and there is basically no room for too much freedom. ”

"All grain and all foodstuffs are under public ownership, and there is a rationing system, and different grains are distributed according to age and type of work, and in short, all resources must be controlled."

Tan Feng's orders are actually to turn the entire Northeast and even Eastern Mongolia into a war machine. He didn't plan to farm in situ and develop industry and develop all kinds of things, as the traditional travelers did. He didn't have this qualification, he knew that his weapons and equipment and individual soldier quality might not be much better than the Manchu Qing.

His greatest strength lies in the social system and military system, and the execution of his orders is guaranteed through an advanced social system and organizational system. The people are not allowed to have too much freedom, and it is necessary to adopt the management methods of the army to ensure that orders are carried out and carried out to the letter. Adopt strong execution to ensure that you can fight more Manchu troops.

Only by turning the entire Northeast into a war machine can there be any hope of defeating the Manchu Qing offensive. The next attack of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not tens of thousands, it must be at least a hundred thousand, or a few hundred thousand. If you don't turn the entire Northeast into a war machine as much as possible, you will definitely die.

As for the development of firearms and various advanced weapons like the traditional traversers, this is impossible and unrealistic. Tan Feng understood better than most of the traversers that in fact, it was not the weapons that the Manchus were lagging behind, and it was a pipe dream to expect that the Manchus could be defeated just by relying on advanced weapons.

"You have to do it as soon as possible, we only have half a year. At present, it has entered winter, and most of the Manchu Qing will not fight in winter, especially in the cold place of the northeast, and winter combat is a big taboo. Therefore, the Manchus would most likely transfer troops, but they would not immediately come out to fight. However, we gave the Manchus half a year to mobilize troops, so that their future attacks would be many times more violent than those of hasty troops. We used winter to delay the Manchu offensive and created time for us, but it also created time for the Manchus. ”

"Therefore, we must cherish time, and only use the best time to accomplish the most things, complete the formation of our social system and military system, so that we can defeat the Manchus."

"Also, order the teaching teams at all levels to make full preparations, ready to train non-commissioned officers for me, and strive to train more qualified non-commissioned officers, so that our army can be expanded without losing combat effectiveness, and ensure that the expanded army is the same combat effectiveness!"

"In addition, a training corps will be formed to be responsible for training officers at the company and platoon levels, and some outstanding personnel will be drawn from among the original non-commissioned officers to prepare for intensive training before the officers take up their posts, so as to ensure that we have enough junior officers."

Xu Qifeng immediately said: "Yes, I will execute it immediately!" We will definitely let more people join us as soon as possible, so that our people can expand as soon as possible! ”

Soon, Tan Feng's cavalry and infantry were scattered to the major residential settlements in the northeast to loot the people.
