Today's second is more than dripping friends, washing and sleeping thieves

，

The Mongol cavalry entered the Ming army as mercenaries, which became the norm at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

At the beginning, the Guanning Iron Cavalry mutinied, in addition to the reason why Yuan Chonghuan was cut down, there was also the fact that Chongzhen did not give the Mongols a hired gold guide.

As we all know, Mongolian men are unproductive and rely on women to feed them. Therefore, the cost of hiring these Mongolian cavalry in the Ming Dynasty can be imagined to be very large, and Chongzhen was extremely poor, so it is not surprising that the mutiny.

However, at this time, Deng Haonan was poor and had money left, and the idea of hiring Mongolian cavalry suddenly came to mind. Use the Mongol cavalry to quickly replenish the black armor elite cavalry, and use the Mongolian cavalry to lead the Han cavalry. In this way, a strong combat effectiveness will be formed in a short period of time, and there is no need to send black-armored elite cavalry to improve the combat effectiveness of the cavalry by slaughtering the common people in shoes like this time.

"It's a good idea to hire Mongol cavalry!"

Man Zhu hurriedly said: "My lord, think twice!" The Mongol cavalry hired by Lord Yuan belonged to the Duoyan Division. And the largest Mongolian tribe in the Duoyan tribe is the Nen Horqin, which has in fact been attached to the shoes. The security of hiring Mongolian cavalry is too poor! ”

Na Haonan knew in his heart that what Man Gui said made sense, but Mongolia's real surrender to his godson was after Ning Yuan's victory. Historically, although Yuan Chonghuan achieved a great victory in Ningyuan, he did not stop Nurhachi's expedition to Mongolia and Huang Taiji's expedition to Korea half a year later.

The Great Khan of Llorkha in Mongolia, Lin Dan, was the last Great Khan of the Mongol Dynasty and the last orthodox ruling force of Genghis Khan's golden family. Nurhachi's expedition to Golliu was to abolish Lin Dan Khan, and after defeating Lin Dan Khan, it caused the fact that Mo Nan and Eastern Mongolia all surrendered their shoes. And Huang Taiji went on an expedition to Korea. It made the Horqin tribes of Eastern Mongolia completely fall to the godson camp.

And now it is different, Na Haonan is trying his best to change history. Nurhachi lost 50,000 troops in Ningyuan, and his momentum was frustrated, which disrupted his plan to expedition to Mongolia Golko, and at the same time, Deng Haonan built the Jinzhou Guard, which became a nail pierced in the back of his shoe, and his strategic containment was much greater than that of Mao Wenlong, so that it was difficult for the lepton.

Therefore, at this time, it was time to win over the Mongolian ministries. It's a good time to fight your godson together. After all. Also nomads, the rise of the Jurchens was a great threat to Mongolia. It is believed that the Great Khan of Mongolia at this time has noticed this and is trying his best to save the situation.

Thinking of this, Deng Haonan said: "The matter of hiring Mongolian cavalry will be talked about later, the main thing is to see if you can get Mongolian war horses first, I don't know if there is any way for the Manchurian people!" ”

Man Gui naturally has a way, otherwise he would be in vain as the chief military officer.

It's just that Man Gui is looking at Di Haonan's cavalry armor!

"Is this it?"

Man Gui smiled brightly, and he wanted to speak and stopped. Deng Haonan didn't understand.

"Lord Man, rest assured, General Deng has nothing else, but there are many cavalry armors made of stainless steel. When it comes to the armor of your cavalry, you can rest assured that you will be on your officer! ”

Man Gui hurriedly arched his hand and smiled: "Then there is Master Lao!" ”

Then Man Gui pointed out a way to buy Mongolian war horses to Deng Haonan, and Deng Haonan was very excited.

There were many Mongols under Mangui, and one of them was called Olgrad, the Mongolian word for Gaofeng. Therefore, the Chinese name is called Gaofeng.

Gao Feng is from the Mongolian Alukorqin Division, in his forties, with a full beard and a very strong face. He was engaged in the mutual trade between the Ming and Mongolia for many years, and one-third of the Mongolian war horses obtained by Yuan Chonghuan were connected with him.

This person has a good relationship with Man Gui and Zhao Shujiao, Zu Dashou and other cavalry generals, but not long ago Zhao Shujiao and Man Gui were at odds, Yuan Chonghuan had to transfer Zhao Shujiao to Jinzhou, and originally had to be transferred to listen to the order before the peak tent, but Gao Feng chose to stay in Ningyuan, obviously he had a better relationship with Man Gui.

This is also because Manhang himself is a Mongolian, which makes him have a close relationship with Gao Feng.

Gao Feng hurriedly met Deng Munan after Man Gui's introduction. Gao Feng had also paid attention to Deng Haonan before, but he didn't care about Di Haonan at that time. After Ning Yuan's victory, he felt the unusualness of this in front of him, the little seventh father-in-law, at this time, he was able to see Di Haonan, Gao Feng paid more attention to Di Haonan a few times, but because of the relationship between rank and identity. Gao Feng didn't dare to look at Deng Haonan too much.

"I don't know how many war horses the adults need? What is it used for? ”

"Of course you want a war horse?"

Di Haonan was stunned for a moment, didn't Gao Feng ask knowingly? If you want a war horse, you will naturally fight!

Seeing Deng Haonan's doubts, Gao Feng smiled: "Don't be suspicious, adults!" Xiaomin just reminded adults that there are many types of war horses, different types of troops and different combat purposes, and different types of war horses are used! For example, heavily armored cavalry requires a horse with stamina and fat, and if it is a lightly armed cavalry, use a lean horse without fat! ”

Man Gui smiled and said to Gao Feng: "My lord has a lot of opportunities, where do you have time to study war horses!" ”

Then he turned to Hua Haonan and said, "My lord, but you have formed a heavy cavalry?" ”

Di Haonan coughed embarrassedly, he really didn't know these messy details. I thought it would be fine as long as it was a war horse. So he said: "That Han Xin has more soldiers, the better." Naturally, all types of war horses are required! ”

Man Gui: "

Peak:

"That." Man Gui rolled his eyes, fortunately, he didn't think too highly of Na Haonan in his heart. Therefore, he expressed his understanding for Na Haonan to say this.

Gao Feng saw that Deng Haonan didn't know anything about the war horse, so he had to explain it to Deng Haonan first

The war horses in the East can be roughly divided into four major groups: Mongolian horses, Ili horses, Hequ horses and southwestern horses.

The Mongolian horse is a very old breed and one of the oldest horse breeds in the world. It is mainly produced in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, and is also widely distributed in the grasslands of Northwest China. It's a huge number. In its heyday, there were more than 1.7 million horses in Mongolia.

Mongolian horses have a small physique, a stout body, solid and powerful limbs, a rough and strong physique, a thick and heavy head, a deep and long chest, short legs, and well-developed joints and tendons. The coat is dense and the coat color is complex. The average body height is done, Wu centimeters, and the weight stone is not strong kilograms. It is hard-working, not afraid of cold, and can adapt to extremely extensive feeding management; Very adaptable to the environment. Able to tolerate harsh climate, environment and extensive feeding conditions; It has a strong foraging ability, and the snow that can be cut through the centimeters is eaten by eating hay and survives the winter. Grazing Mongolian horses are very gregarious. The herd of horses is less than 100 horses, and more than 5 or 600 horses, which are generally not easy to be separated and are very well managed.

Mongolian horses are mostly used for riding in pastoral areas and are known for their stamina and ability to walk long distances. The well-trained Mongolian horses are not frightened on the battlefield. Brave. It has always been a good military horse.

Due to the different ecological conditions in different places. Mongolian horses with a wide distribution also have differences in body shape, appearance and performance, such as the Uzhumuqin horse, which is adapted to typical grassland conditions, and the Wushen horse, which is adapted to the desert steppe environment. The Uzhumuqin horse has a strong physique. Hard-working, at the same time, it has a good ability to pull and ride, milk and meat production, and can be cultivated into a horse that is good at walking on the opposite side of the fast pace, and riding is stable and comfortable. The Wushen horse has a delicate physique and a warm temperament, and is sensitive to reaction, which is suitable for riding and carrying in desert areas.

Native to the Ili region of Xinjiang, the Ili horse is a cross between a small Kazakh horse born and raised in recent decades with the Don hippopotamus and Orlov horse of the Russian principality. Therefore, the local herdsmen call it the "two-string horse" Ili horse retains the excellent characteristics of the Kazakh horse, such as strong physique, long body and perfect thorax, and has a great improvement in body shape compared with the Kazakh horse. It is tall and large. The structure is well-proportioned, the head is small and smart, the eyes are large, the head and neck are high, and the limbs are strong. Ili horses are on average centimeters tall and weigh kilograms. When its neck is held high, it is mighty. In addition, the coat color is shiny and beautiful, and the appearance is more handsome and beautiful. Ili horses are suitable for herd herd on the highlands all year round. It has a docile temperament, a sensitive temperament, strong limbs, and is good at jumping. It is suitable for mountain road riding and plain service. Regardless of riding the pull, it is also hard-working, and strong, fast, in the long-distance race of the west kilometer, the weight of the kilogram, Sun Shikou can be reached in minutes. It is an excellent light passenger horse.

Hequ horse, also known as Helan horse, is also an ancient fine local horse breed in the Ming Dynasty, famous through the ages. Historically, it has been used as a tribute. It is native to the grassland at the junction of Qinghai, Gansu and Sichuan provinces in the upper reaches of the Yellow River, because it is located in the winding of the Yellow River. Hence the name Hequ Horse. Its production area belongs to the temperate mountain grassland type, the soil is fertile, the grassland is luxuriant, and the local herdsmen have the habit of selecting good breeds, because of the formation of this kind of China's landrace in the largest physique of excellent horses.

The head of the Hequ horse is slightly larger, the nose is slightly raised and slightly rabbit head shaped, the neck is broad and thick, the trunk is straight, the chest is deep and broad, and the body shape is stout, which has the absolute advantage of pulling horses. Its average body height is a centimeter. The weight is Liebuqu kilograms. Carrying a strategy, field kilograms, can travel a thousand kilometers a day. The river meander horse has a docile temperament, a stable temperament, and strong staying power. Fatigue recovers quickly. Therefore, it is mostly used for military use, and a single set of large vehicles can pull kilograms of heavy loads. The Hip Horse is a good agricultural horse.

Southwest horses are found in Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi. Its head is large and its neck is high. The mane, tail, and mane are abundant. The body shape is well-structured, the tendons are well developed, and the hoof is solid. Good at climbing mountains and mountains, can transport more than four kilograms of goods, and does a thousand kilometers per day, which is a very necessary transportation force in the southwest mountainous area. Among them, the more famous ones are Sichuan Jianchang horse, Yunnan Lijiang horse and Guizhou horse.

Daming also introduced foreign war horse breeds, such as Arabian horse riding type, Don Hippo riding type, Orlov horse light pull type, Cossack heavy horse heavy pull type, and Alden horse heavy pull type.

Gao Feng said: "If you are organizing the war horses used for transportation, it is better to choose Hequ horses and southwest horses, and if you are fighting on light horses, you can choose Mongolian horses and Ili horses!" ”

Deng Zhinan asked, "What if it's heavy cavalry?" ”

Gao Feng said: "Then it's best to buy it from the Taixi countries!" For example, the war horses of Muscovy belong to the type of heavy cavalry, and it is not a problem to run for two hundred miles under heavy equipment! And the Mongolian war horse is suitable for light horse galloping combat! ”

Man Gui said: "Mongolian war horses are not cheap. If the adults form a thousand eight hundred, they will do it for the court to see. Naturally, there is no problem! ”

Deng Haonan became darker and darker, obviously Man Gui thought that Di Haonan was going to have a face-saving project.

"Well, money isn't an issue!" Deng Jiangnan said: "At least buy tens of thousands of war horses!" ”

Full grid:

Gao Feng sneered and said, "My lord doesn't know anything!" The war horses used for short-distance galloping require eighty taels of silver each. A war horse with an endurance of more than 100 miles and less than 200 miles requires one hundred and fifty twenty-one horses. A war horse with an endurance of more than two hundred miles. The price of each horse is at least 300 taels or more! ”

belch

Deng Haonan only remembered at this time that Xie Yi and the others bought back 10,000 war horses for 100,000 taels of silver, which was a lot of cheapness.

No wonder Nurhachi likes to rob the Mongol tribes, and it is more refreshing to rob the war horse.

"That. What type of war horses are the godson's war horses! ”

Gao Feng said: "The Jurchens like to run, so most of them use war horses with strong explosive power in a short period of time!" ”

Na Haonan asked, "Then how did they do the long-distance run?" ”

Gao Feng said: "On the 0th of the day, after the old Shanxun book was ridiculed and ridiculed, the Jurchens were controlled by the Jurchens by looting the various Mongolian tribes who were praying. Because the Jurchen cavalry can do one person and two horses, or even more! ”

Na Haonan nodded, it turned out that Letsuko relied on this way to make long-distance attacks.

A war horse is eighty taels, ten thousand horses are eight hundred thousand taels, one hundred thousand horses is eight million taels, and if one person rides twice

Na Haonan gasped, this is still the cheapest Mongolian war horse, if it is a large-scale heavy cavalry like the Black Armor Elite Cavalry, it needs to be imported from foreign countries.

Sure enough, cavalry is a money-eating class.

That's not all, Gao Feng quickly told Sù Na Haonan that it was easy to buy a war horse, but it was difficult to raise a war horse. Especially for long-term breeding, the forage consumed is far more expensive than that of war horses.

That's right! Deng Haonan knew in his heart that War Horse, like the car of later generations, was easy to buy a car, but it was expensive to maintain a car.

For shoes, there is a steppe behind them. Therefore, no matter how many war horses there are, there is no need to worry about not being able to feed them. And the Ming Dynasty is not good, at this time there is not enough food to eat, and such a huge consumption of forage cannot be provided. And Deng Haonan was even more dumbfounded, his old camp was at sea, did he want to let the war horse swim and eat algae?

Di Haonan was entangled in his heart, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.

There are so many pastures in the world that if you take this and worry about that, you won't be able to do anything!

The godson is only entrenched in the Songnen plain, and in the rear of the godson, and in the vast Siberia, why not try to ambush a huge cavalry in the rear of the big big shoe?

This solves the problem of forage supply. It can also put strong military pressure on Lezi.

Even if the winter in Siberia is relatively long, he can use the Guò Navy to collect cheap forage and food around the world and transport supplies to him. Anyway, the sail cargo ship does not eat oil, and the transportation cost is almost negligible.

Thinking through these questions, Deng Haonan said with a straight face: "Don't think about the rest, I just ask you, how many war horses can you get?" ”

Gao Feng was stunned for a moment, glanced at Man Hang, and felt that Di Haonan was full of confidence.

"Every Mongolian family has war horses. A small tribe of 1,000 people can supply 5,000 high-quality war horses, and I am familiar with the Great Khan of the Negurio tribe, and they can provide 50,000 high-quality war horses every year, in addition to keeping enough for their own use."

"Then 50,000 horses!"

Na Haonan didn't hesitate, what he asked for was a long-distance war horse, but because it was a heavy cavalry, if he wanted to do a long-distance run, he needed one person to ride two horses, or three horses, so 50,000 war horses didn't seem to be much.

But even so, it still made Man Gui and Gao Feng open their mouths wide in surprise, their faces full of disbelief.

Na Haonan smiled: "Don't worry! It's all said that money is not a problem! ”

Man Gui:

Gao Feng: "The problem is that there are not so many! ”

Na Haonan:

Gao Feng saw that Deng Haonan's face suddenly became ugly, a few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and said: "My lord, forgive me, what I just said is the entire production of war horses in Negurg, and their share of the market with Daming this year is only 10,000 horses!" ”

Na Haonan asked unhappily, "What about the rest?" Did they raise war horses and slaughter them themselves? ”

"Back to the words of adults". Gao Feng replied: "The Jurchen Great Khan Nurhachi has been threatening the Eastern Mongolian tribes with force in recent years, demanding that the supply of war horses to the Ming be stopped!" But the Mongolian ministries relied on the mutual market of the Ming Dynasty, so they would give out a share of 10,000 war horses! And the rest were sold to the Jurchens at a low price, and then exchanged for the Jurchens' ginseng, deer towers, etc. Then exchange markets with Daming! ”

Na Haonan secretly said in his heart, the shoes are really ruthless enough. However, this shows that the shoes were afraid of the Ming Dynasty forming cavalry, so they would control the Mongolian war horses. It's a pity that the policy of the Ming Dynasty is defense, so it will not pay attention to cavalry, and the light son is unfounded in this regard.

It's just that in this way, Deng Haonan can't get more war horses.

"Don't you have a lot of paths?" Na Haonan asked.

Gao Feng smiled: "I'm just a small person. How can you influence the attitude of the Mongol khans! ”

Then he changed his words and said, "If an adult comes forward." Bribing each other with a lot of money may be able to make them relax! ”

Na Haonan asked, "Even if you bribe them." You have to have a goal! There are so many great khans in Mongolia, who should be bribed by this official? ”

Gao Feng said: "Naturally, it is the Mongolian Great Khan Lin Dan Khan."

Lin Dan Khan?

Di Haonan thought for a while and said, "Although he is the nominal Great Khan of Mongolia, Mongolia has been divided, does his words work?" ”

Gao Feng smiled: "It's not all an excuse problem!" As long as Lin Dan Khan agrees, all the Mongolian ministries will take the initiative to trade with the adults. When the time comes, Nurhachi Xingshi will ask for guilt. They will all be pushed to Lin Dan Khan! ”

Di Haonan nodded and said, "Then you can arrange it!" When the time comes, you just need to inform the official! The benefits are naturally yours." "Thank you, sir!" Gao Feng looked very excited.

Man Gui leaned over and smiled: "This brother of the adult looks rich!" ”

Na Haonan waved his hand and said with a big grin: "General, if you drink too much, you will vomit!" "Abyssal slack, s Special thanks to the book friends who sobered up and got drunk and voted for the five monthly passes! D
