Chapter 12: The Han Army

But soon, Wang Jingwen took the initiative to make a suggestion, saying: "Commander Tan, I think we can recruit some Mongols into the army as our subordinate troops. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info This makes up for our lack of troops, especially our Han people in this Mongolian steppe, in fact, they are not dominant. Even if all our Han Chinese in Eastern Mongolia are gathered, in fact, they are only a few thousand, and only 2,000 of them can fight at most. However, such a number of troops, even if they were all used as the main force at that time, would be very reluctant. We might as well take the initiative to recruit some Mongols as our subordinate troops, so that we can make up for the shortcomings in our troops. ”

Tan Feng hurriedly asked, "Are these Mongolians credible?" ”

Tan Feng actually did not reject the Mongols, and many of his comrades-in-arms were also Mongols when he served in later generations. He lives in Inner Mongolia, an autonomous region of ethnic minorities, and is not averse to Mongolians. But Tan Feng also knows that the Mongolians of later generations are different from the ancient Mongolians, and the vast majority of the Mongolians in later generations are actually Mongolians after "sinicization", many of them are just theoretical Mongolians, except for the Mongolian on the ID card, there is almost no Mongolian appearance, and there are even many Mongolians who can't even speak Mongolian, and are completely Han people dressed in Mongolian clothes.

However, he knew better that the Mongols were not "sinicized" during the Qing Dynasty, so he was also a little worried about recruiting the Mongols.

However, Wang Jingwen said: "Commander Tan, I think this is okay." Because I've seen it during this time, these Mongols actually don't have too strong national ideas, and even their core is to obey the strong. We are strong, and they will naturally surrender. In fact, this is the same as the Manchu Tartars in the past, the Manchu Tartars conquered them, and they all surrendered directly. So in fact, they don't have any real loyalty in their eyes, it's just that they just obey after defeating them. ”

"As long as our main force, that is, the cavalry according to Commander Tan's training method, is our own, as long as we still have the ability to watch the house, and we don't casually tell them the training method, then they will not be our opponents. Although it may not be feasible for these Mongols to fight, it is completely possible to take care of the rear and maintain law and order for us. In this way, we can free up the population of many ethnic groups and use it as the main force. ”

Tan Feng quickly understood what Wang Jingwen meant, that is, in the Mongolian grassland, there are not many Han people. In fact, more of them are like the slaves of those Mongols, and even if all of these Han Chinese in Eastern Mongolia are liberated, there can't be many. As for the number of soldiers who can serve as soldiers, there are definitely not enough troops. It is better to recruit some local Mongols as subordinate troops, although they cannot be used as the main force, but they are more than enough as a force to maintain law and order. As long as they still have the main force in their hands, as long as their cavalry training methods are not thoroughly taught to them, then they will not be able to match them as Han Chinese.

"In my opinion, the Manchu Qing Dynasty actually did not have many people back then, but it was only by relying on the Mongols and traitors of the Han Eight Banners that they were able to do so. If we can recruit the Mongols, we may not be able to help us. As long as our housekeeping skills are not lost, they must be loyal. Add to this the fact that the Mongols do not have an absolutely real national consciousness, it is not difficult to recruit! Tan Feng said.

The Mongols of this era are not really a "nation", as long as the other party is strong, these Mongols do not mind working for each other. There are already hundreds of Han cavalry here, and as long as they can maintain their strength, these Mongols will definitely be very loyal.

Although these Mongols could not be used as the main force, they were still fully competent as collateral troops, as subordinate troops, and as "co-forces" to assist them in the formation of Han Chinese. As for the Mongols in this era, they were actually a guy who bullied the weak and feared the hard, as long as they were strong, as long as they were stronger than them, and they could win the war against the Manchus again and again, they would also fall to their side.

Why did Mongolia betray the Ming Dynasty and take refuge in the Manchus? In fact, isn't it because the Manchu Qing Dynasty defeated the Ming Dynasty again and again, so that Mongolia saw the weakness of the Ming Dynasty, so it quickly gave up the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty, and then took refuge in the Manchu Dynasty? Because of this, this group of Mongolian wall grasses is actually very easy to solve, as long as you keep winning, they will follow you like a pug.

"Well, in that case, we can all recruit some people over and see if they want to. However, let me say a few points, the maximum number of Mongols can only be ranked one level at present. And in order to ensure safety, in principle, the ratio of the number of Mongolian cavalry to our Han cavalry cannot exceed one to one. That is, how many Han cavalry we have, then how many Mongolian cavalry can we recruit. Moreover, these Mongolian cavalry can only be used to maintain law and order on weekdays, and they must not be easily allowed to go to a frontal war as the main force. Those who are not of our race will have different hearts, and this lesson cannot be ignored. We can't let the Mongols directly master the tactical training of our group charge, and we must try to blockade it as much as possible. Our training corps does not recruit Mongols as non-commissioned officers at present, they can only be used as traditional cavalry, and cannot be trained as new cavalry like us. Tan Feng said.

Tan Feng said a few points next, which were important restrictions on the Mongol troops. This includes restrictions on the number of people and training. Especially the number of people and training methods, which Tan Feng has to strictly restrict. At present, this new cavalry training method can only be trained by Han Chinese, and cannot be learned by the Mongols. Although the cultural level and various foundations of the Mongols could not keep up, they had to guard against it.

This Mongol can only be used temporarily, but not reused. At a critical time, it is still necessary to give priority to trusting your own troops, and not let these Mongols harm them instead. These Mongols are both to use and to guard against. Who let Tan Feng's current lack of troops, and the lack of troops can only temporarily use these servant troops.

"Okay, then I will also name these Mongols the 'Han Concord Army', which is the co-subordinate army of our Han Guangfu Army, called the Han Concord Army." Tan Feng said.

Tan Feng's bad taste came, and he was directly named Han Xiejun, so that he could satisfy his bad taste in the past.
