Fu Erdan of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was continuing to study how to deal with these Han horse thieves here, and he already clearly felt that these Han horse thieves were different. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThese Han horse thieves have extremely high combat effectiveness, and they have even exceeded the scope of many armies. However, this Fu Erdan still did not regard these Han horse thieves as an army, because high combat effectiveness is one thing, but whether it is a thief or not, this is also another meaning.

Just like in the last days of many dynasties, as a regular army of the imperial court, there were many times when they were still unable to deal with some bandits. However, the imperial court does not think that bandits are anti-thieves by virtue of their combat effectiveness, because rebellion is a political issue, not something that can be measured by combat effectiveness.

"General Fu Erdan, these Han horse thieves are very strong, I don't think we are suitable to fight hard with them, otherwise we will lose a lot." A general beside Fu Erdan said.

Fu Erdan nodded and said, "Yes, these horse thieves, if we fight hard, although I think we Eight Banners will definitely be able to defeat them, but we will also lose a lot." It is also necessary to reduce losses, after all, if we lose too much to the bannermen, we will also be ...... by the emperor."

Fu Erdan and Tan Feng are actually both wolves - both are afraid, Tan Feng is worried that if he comes like this, his Han troops will lose too much and will not be able to suppress those Mongols. But the same is true of these Eight Banners, if they don't realize the strength of the Han people and horse thieves, they will naturally dare to fight hard. But now that he realizes that these Han people and horse thieves are powerful, Fu Erdan has to pay attention to it.

After all, the Manchus were the ruling group with the bannermen as the core, and of course they had to avoid the loss of the bannermen. If this operation to exterminate the horse thieves is successful, but the loss is too great, then Emperor Yongzheng will also clean up Fu Erdan.

"You can't fight hard, otherwise once you force them to jump off the wall, it will be troublesome!" Fu Erdan said.

The general next to him took the initiative to suggest: "General Fu Erdan, we might as well adopt a step-by-step method to block these Han horse thieves." The reason why Han horse thieves are so powerful is that they are actually based on the fact that they swim around without being restricted. But we can take advantage of our numbers and adopt a gradual encirclement approach, so that we can blockade them. ”

"Also, order the Mongol taiji to prohibit the herdsmen from going out casually, so that we can ensure that they can't grab enough things."

However, a layman obviously asked: "They have seized a large number of cattle, sheep and horses before, and they are not short of supplies to replenish them!" ”

But Fu Erdan said: "Hehe, you don't know that there is no shortage of beef and sheep meat in the grassland. But there is one thing that is more precious than meat. Maybe there will be no shortage of Han people on weekdays, but it is a fatal thing when it comes to the grassland. Immediately ordered that all things be blocked, and no vegetables and other things could be allowed to enter the territory controlled by the Han people! Step by step, block them. ”

Tan Feng's headquarters, Tan Feng received information sent back by the scouts outside.

"Commander, the bannermen didn't take the initiative to attack, on the contrary, they still took the initiative to blockade us. The moles buried in the Mongol tribes reported that the Mongol nobles had ordered that the herdsmen should not go out at will, so as not to be plundered. It's really strange, according to common sense, these Eight Banners should take the initiative to attack, shouldn't it be like this? They have a numerical advantage, although they dare not say that they are surrounded by ten, but that is several times more than us, and they should take the initiative to attack according to the art of war! Wang Jingwen wondered.

However, Tan Feng laughed and said, "Sure enough, they are also afraid!" In fact, we and them are just afraid of beating the wolf with a stick, we are afraid of losing too much, and they are also afraid of losing too much. In fact, the current political situation is the same as that of the Manchu court, and it is precisely because the political situation is the same that we have adopted the same thinking to treat the enemy. We were afraid that we had lost too many men to suppress the Mongols. ”

"But the people are afraid! This is tens of thousands of Eight Banners, and these tens of thousands of Eight Banners are basically about one-tenth of the Eight Banners. Since they knew that our combat effectiveness was good, they would naturally be afraid that our dogs would jump off the wall in a hurry, and then their losses would be too great. If the loss of the Eight Banners is too great, Fu Erdan will not only not have any credit for exterminating us this time, but will be severely punished. After all, they treated us as thieves, not as thieves. Isn't it funny if you lose too many Eight Banners in order to exterminate a group of thieves? Therefore, Voerdan, like us, is afraid of too much loss, so he invariably adopts a passive approach to deal with it. ”

Wang Jingwen finally understood that if measured purely from military thinking, Fu Erdan should take the initiative to attack. However, the political predicament of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Tan Feng is the same, both of them use a small number of main ethnic groups to control more ethnic groups, and they "can't afford to die"! This time to exterminate Tan Feng, the Manchu Qing Dynasty actually took the opportunity to train troops, if the loss in order to exterminate Tan Feng is too great, not only will it not be credited, but it will definitely be questioned. Of course, Fu Erdan had to be careful, using a safe tactic and not rushing to attack.

"Very well, since Voerdan is afraid of forcing us to jump over the wall, so we can also take advantage of it, and then look for opportunities to see if there is anything to use." Tan Feng said.

But Wang Jingwen asked suspiciously: "What does Fu Erdan want to do?" It doesn't seem to make sense for him to block us, we have a lot of beef and mutton in stock, and even a lot of bacon! We don't lack meat, we can eat meat! ”

Previously, they confiscated a large number of Mongol supplies, so there was no shortage of beef and mutton, on the contrary, it was very rich. If it is simply blocked, I am afraid that the effect is of little significance, but why does Fu Dan still do these things?

"No, Voerdain is not blocking our supplies, it's vegetables! Living on the grasslands, vegetables are very precious, even more precious than meat. Perhaps in the Han region, meat is very expensive and the average person cannot afford it. However, in the grassland, it is the opposite, where vegetables are precious, especially fresh vegetables, and they are extremely expensive. However, there is no problem for humans not to eat meat, but there is no small problem for humans not to eat vegetables. Without vegetables, there are no vitamins. Without all kinds of vitamins, our human body will cause all kinds of problems, and our combat effectiveness will decrease. Maybe you felt it before, but when you have it, it's too late! If you don't believe me, you can ask ordinary Mongolians, they should know it well. ”
