Chapter 67, the nine-thousand-year-old soldier bites the dog
This war is like biting a dog, you have to figure out where the dog you want to bite usually haunts, what he likes best, and how he likes to bite when biting! Then develop a detailed and precise way for you to bite him, to ensure that you can not only bite the dog, but also not be bitten by the dog!
While touching his chin and looking at the map, Meng Qiu found that it was really not easy to take revenge this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "This group of guys is different from Duolong, who has no way back in the interior of the Han Dynasty, we go to fight in people's home fields, the terrain is not as familiar as others, the trust of the people is basically non-existent, and the access to water and food is even more blind. After that, Meng Qiu took a stick and compared the distance from Banquan to the nest of the Karaqin tribe, according to legend.
The straight-line distance is nearly 1,000 miles, counting the time and distance of crossing mountains and mountains, it will take several days for the army to reach Xuelong Pass. Then take the Snow Dragon Pass to attack the nest of the Karaqin tribe, and tens of thousands of troops eat and drink is not a small amount.
Meng Qiu frowned slightly, and then turned around and asked, "Father-in-law, if we only rely on the dry food and drinking water carried by our army in this way, how many days can we sustain it?" Next to the map, Lu Shang stood aside with his hands behind his back.
"Three days at most, if eight thousand light horsemen are mobilized, it may be able to support more than ten days. However, I led 8,000 light cavalry on an expedition to Mongolia before, and the other side was taken by surprise, and I did not know or expect our army to take the initiative to attack. After that, Lu Shang shook his head, such a tactic will definitely not work.
The Karaqin tribe, the strongest tribe in Mongolia, has more than 200,000 people under its command, and its Great Khan Takcherchen Khan, who is just 30 years old this year, is in the prime of life, skilled in martial arts, and full of scheming. In order to seize the throne of the Khan, this person personally killed his two elder brothers and his biological father, and then defeated the other two uncles in the tribe who held military power and killed his entire family with the support of eighty percent of the tribe's soldiers.
According to previous information, Takcherchen Khan was very strategic in warfare, and he did not use the traditional Mongol methods such as "avoiding the real and making the false", "sneak attack", and "cavalry raid". Instead, they adopted the tactics of wandering, sending a large number of small detachments in advance to wander around the enemy, and immediately rush up to sneak attack at the first opportunity, killing as much as they could, and grabbing as much as they could.
As soon as the enemy launched a counterattack, the detachment immediately dispersed, and a team of three or four, seven or eight people fled, and the direction of escape was also in all directions.
If the enemy concentrates on pursuing some of these small detachments, the main force of Takcherchen Khan, which has long been hidden on the side, will take the opportunity to sneak up on the enemy's under-manned and unguarded base camp.
Or Takcherchen Khan will set up an ambush on the path pursued by the enemy's pursuers, and directly eat a large part of the opponent's men. Then gather all the squads and directly swallow the remnants of the enemy army with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai.
"This guy is very good at using his strengths to the extreme! The Mongol cavalry was good at guerrilla warfare and had strong individual combat ability, which made it very suitable for this. And it seems that he has touched the terrain of the Karaqin tribe for thousands of miles, and knows where to set up an ambush and where to hide people and horses to sneak up on the enemy's base camp. Spreading out his hand, Meng Qiu said a little helplessly.
It is impossible to set up an ambush in the face of such an enemy, people know too much better than you; It is not enough to attack directly, countless squads and rangers along the way can definitely consume you to death; Attack steadily and slowly, even worse, the Mongolian steppe is so big, if you build a fortress while walking, God knows when you will be able to finish the battle, and the money spent is also astronomical.
Lu Shang next to him raised another question that gave Meng Qiu a headache, "We attacked the Mongols before, and we found a very headache problem. If the mastermind and all the men are not completely killed, the Mongols will quickly resurge. It takes a lot of time, money, food and grass for us to attack once, and the pensions for the soldiers after the war are a huge expense."
Hearing this, Meng Qiu didn't say much, this is a long-standing problem in the war between the Han people and ethnic minorities: they can't make ends meet.
All ethnic minorities are soldiers, and when they fight, they bring their own weapons or something, and everyone gets rich together when they win, and everyone scatters and runs away when they lose. In terms of cost, it is much less than that of the Han people, and even if the Han people win, they will not make any benefits, and they have to deal with a lot of costs.
"Hehe, that's why the later it is, the more the emperor's ministers are willing to build the Great Wall and defend it, rather than to fight the Mongols and barbarians. If you do this, you will definitely lose money, see how I make us make a lot of money, and the Mongols will lose everything! With a slight smile, Meng Qiu opened his mouth and said, he had already thought of a good way to make money from the war.
The current locations of the Karaqin tribe include:
Karaqin Banner is located in the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, at the intersection of Mongolia, Liaoning and Hebei provinces, at the junction of the Northeast Economic Zone and the North China Economic Zone, adjacent to Jianping County of Liaoning Province in the east, adjacent to Ningcheng County of Chifeng City in the south, Weichang County and Longhua County of Hebei Province in the west, and Songshan District and Hongshan District of Chifeng City in the north, 38 kilometers away from Chifeng, 380 kilometers away from Beijing, 500 kilometers away from Shenyang, and 280 kilometers away from Jinzhou Port.
According to Meng Qiu's previous memories, the Karaqin grassland is not only not a so-called barren land, but also a cornucopia of resources and wealth:
As of 2012, the discovered metal minerals include gold, silver, copper, lead, manganese, etc., and non-metallic minerals include coal, fluorite, zeolite, limestone, bentonite, kaolin, gabbro, silica, granite, perlite, marble, dolomite, crystal, agate, etc. Among them, there are 6 million tons of proven coal reserves, 6 tons of gold reserves, 420,000 tons of fluorite reserves, 9,220 tons of limestone reserves, 3.1 million tons of perlite reserves, and large zeolite reserves and good quality, which are important export minerals.
There are 43 kinds of metallic and non-metallic minerals found in the Karaqin Banner, including gold, iron, lead, zinc, molybdenum, coal, fluorite, limestone, bentonite, silica, granite, perlite, and marble. Some mineral reserves are: 60 million tons of coal, 12 tons of gold, 4 million tons of fluorite, 30 million tons of perlite, especially limestone reserves of 250 million tons, ranking first in North China and Northeast China, and the quality is extremely high, known as "North China white marble".
Only a small fraction of these resources are unusable for technical reasons, for example, but most of them are invaluable. "As long as you catch them, so many Mongolians will be used as free labor, and they will be used in the dead to take care of the food, what a good deal!" , smiled slightly, Meng Qiu thought to his heart, this war may not cost money and can still make money.
"Father-in-law, don't worry! This time, let's play a man-eat-dog tactic, isn't Tucker Chechen good at travelogues and wandering? Are you good at walking around my army and looking for an opportunity to bite me? I want to see if I bite him to death, or if he is surrounded by me, with a hammer on the left and a dog knife on the right, and slashes all over his body! Slapping on the map, Meng Qiu said confidently.
In the afternoon of the same day, heavy news suddenly came out of the palace, and it spread throughout the entire Banquan capital in a very short time:
In 19,000 years, Meng Qiu played the Xuanhuang Emperor, and the emperor ordered that the caravan should be allowed to follow the army out of the fortress to Mongolia. The caravan needs to be assessed according to its size and provide a portion of the food and grass for the army. And the goods captured by the Mongols, cattle and sheep, and slaves captured by the army could be sold to caravans at a price forty percent below the market price!
If you don't have enough money, you can make a blank slip, and you can go to the 9,000-year-old mansion within three days after returning to the capital to pay off all the debts. For more than three days, 300 times the interest will be charged; For more than five days, the family will be exterminated!
Second, the Han Dynasty decided to carry out large-scale expansion outside the fortress and build 28 cities, and all merchants who invested in the construction of the city would be able to obtain any 100 acres ~ 500 acres of land within a radius of 500 miles of the city!
These lands will be personally decreed by the Xuanhuang Emperor and awarded to merchants who contributed money and efforts to the imperial court as proof of land ownership.
The three Han Dynasty and the 9,000-year-old Meng Qiu will arrange a large number of professional and technical personnel who are familiar with farming and grazing livestock to follow everyone into Saiwai. Provide free professional and technical guidance for those businessmen who need to obtain land, and ensure that you can make money from farming and raising livestock!
A large number of people began to be "recruited" to build the city outside the city, and the Ministry of Industry began to purchase a large number of stone, timber and other tools needed to build the city. Everything proves that the imperial court is not just talking about it this time, but is going to be serious.
On the same day, the whole Banquan was "boiling", and the businessmen frantically called friends, gathered relatives and friends, and secretly discussed in the secret room, calculated income, and discussed plans, and tossed almost all night.
The next day, Meng Qiu's 9,000-year-old mansion was crowded with people, and I don't know how many merchants used horse-drawn carriages to pull gold and silver, brandished a lot of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets, crying and shouting to see the 9,000-year-old, just one purpose: let me participate in the three things you said, I want to contribute to the country!
Yes! You heard it right! And that was not that right! To participate in the above three things, you have to pay a fee, the registration fee! Meng Qiu added this article very lacking in morality, and the registration fee was 50,000 taels of silver for a place!
Nine thousand years old treasury
"Hehe, military expenses, grain and grass expenses, carriage and horse expenses, and straw paper expenses...... Now it's a big deal! By the way, if I transfer the new army together, I can afford to pay for it! Hehe, this is a great way to make a fortune! Happily counting the silver, there was no trace of a smile in Meng Qiu's eyes
Cao Wenbao was seriously injured and unconscious, tens of thousands of soldiers were killed and wounded by the underworld, and hundreds of thousands of people in Xuelong Pass were taken captive, and this blood debt must be washed away with the blood and head of the Mongols!
"Takcherchen Khan, don't you think that my expedition will not last? Do you think that I am not familiar with the terrain and that the supplies are inconvenient to take you? I see how long you can be proud, I'm going to destroy you! ”
