Chapter 629: Cavalry Division (II)
"Dear herdsmen, our Mongolian Military Region has recruited two independent cavalry divisions directly under the Military Region, and now we are recruiting soldiers from among your Mongolian herdsmen. And we have cleared a large number of Mongol nobles and intend to redistribute pastures. Only herdsmen who have joined our army, who are in military service, have access to pasture. So, if you want pasture, you can come and sign up and join our cavalry division. ”
When the Mongolian herders heard this, they all came to ask if they could get pasture. You must know that in the past, these herdsmen also had no pasture, and those pastures, cattle and sheep also belonged to those Mongolian nobles, and ordinary herdsmen did not have any pasture at all. They are all herdsmen of the Mongolian nobles, and they have to graze cattle for the nobles on weekdays to support the luxurious life of the Mongolian nobles. And also to fight for those nobles. If they die, they can't even get a bereavement pension or something.
As a Mongolian tribe that is no longer nomadic, the herders who have settled relatively well also want to get their own pasture. Only by obtaining your own pasture can you achieve a stable life. Grassland, that is, compared with the farmland in the Central Plains, represents the means of production. So now that they heard that they could get pasture, they all began to hope to participate in this cavalry.
"My lord, as long as we are soldiers, can we all get pasture?" Someone asked.
The person in charge of recruiting immediately replied: "Yes, we will give you all the war horses, cattle and sheep of those noble lords, and then you must provide your own war horses after you go to the battlefield." We also provided food and daily necessities during the service. As long as you have served for ten years, then this pasture will be completely yours. If you die on the battlefield, the right to use the pasture will be inherited by your descendants until seventy years later. You have a total of 70 years of use of the pasture, and if you serve for 10 years, you will get 70 years of use, and you can inherit it from generation to generation. So you're making a lot of money. As long as you have served for ten years, those generations will not have to worry, what do you have to worry about? ”
The 70-year tenure of this pasture is actually a rehearsal of the future land reform in the Central Plains. In the future, Wang Guorui will carry out land reform, and plan to nationalize the land, and then what everyone has is the right to use. At that time, the land will be used for 70 years. Zhang Feiyang wanted to attack those landlords. Those landlords must be the class to be eliminated, either they are transformed into a capitalist class, or they are purged by Wang Guorui. This land can be gradually distributed to those pastoralists who need it.
Of course, after 70 years, social changes, at that time, the social system and social relations of production will also change, and the right to use it for 70 years will be enough. The 70-year tenure of use has effectively helped the state to regulate and control land resources and avoid land being too fragmented. Various agricultural operations in the future. It is inevitable that the land will be concentrated, and then mechanized agriculture will be carried out, and the rest of the people will gradually be transformed into workers, as well as other personnel in the tertiary industry. Therefore, the tenure of tenure for 70 years is to enable these farmers and herders to change their occupations in the future, so that they are not tied to the land.
However, these herders did not think about it so much at the moment, but began to estimate whether it was worth it.
"Ten years of service. That's 70 years of tenure. And if you die in battle, you can directly get the right to use it for 70 years. If so. It's worth it to die. Some herders thought.
Seventy years of usufruct is enough for them to live for generations. And the people of this era are willing to sacrifice their lives in order to obtain land. If you can exchange your life for the land use rights of your descendants for 70 years, it can also be worth it. So when they heard the idea, they all agreed.
"We're joining the cavalry!"
The herdsmen came to sign up, and soon the herdsmen from the neighborhood also came to sign up. At the various recruitment registration points in the Zhanghuan Special Zone. More than 100,000 herdsmen have signed up, but the Mongolian Military Region does not need so many herdsmen. The Mongolian Military District directly under it needs two divisions of 10,000 cavalry, and it does not need 100,000 people.
But the herders also wanted to sign up, especially if the family had multiple brothers. I'm desperate to sign up. These Mongols were all raised on horseback, and they were almost all natural cavalrymen. With a little training, he is also a qualified cavalryman. And the agrarian people want to train to become a qualified cavalry, and they simply can't do it in a few years. But if a nomadic people like the Mongols could become cavalry in a few months. Because training horsemanship is very time-consuming, and being able to use these Mongols to recruit cavalry is the best means.
"Everyone give me silence, anyone who wants to join our cavalry must undergo a medical examination. If you haven't had a medical check-up, or if you're too old, we won't accept it. If you want to be a cavalryman, you must be young people under the age of twenty-five, and we don't accept those who are older. The older ones are better grazed. In the process of service, you can obtain the right to use the pasture, and then you can hand over the pasture to your family for production. So I hope you can serve well and seriously. If you become a deserter on the battlefield, or if you seriously violate military law, then we will not only have to deal with it by military law, but also take back the pasture that has been distributed, understand? ”
After about three days, the Mongolian military district also recruited more than 2,000 people, and then they all stopped recruiting soldiers. And it's not that they don't want to recruit, it's because they have to divide the quota evenly, and then divide all these soldiers.
"General Zhu Yuan, we must disperse these Mongolian cavalry, and we can't recruit all of them in this Zhanghuan Special Zone. We also have to recruit some in Guisui, otherwise if we recruit soldiers in the Zhanghuan Special Zone for a long time, then I am afraid that the next will be the soldiers and officers of the Chahar Department. ”
"The so-called Taiwan Province is issued in prefectures and counties, and it will be sent out by soldiers, and almost any general is also born from soldiers, especially in the future. Therefore, if these Mongolian cavalry soldiers are all from the Chahar Department of the Zhanghuan Special Region, then in the future, they will inevitably be led by Chahar-born generals to rule our cavalry division, and even become our senior generals. In the future, this will certainly not be suitable for us to control Mongolia, and when the Chahars have taken power, they will definitely exclude those from other tribes. This will certainly not be good for us to control the Mongols, so we must avoid that all of our cavalry are from the Chahar division of the Zhanghuan Special Region. ”
What the high-speed railway side said is also very important, these two cavalry divisions have actually just been erected, and each cavalry division is only more than 1,000 people, and it is still four-fifths away from the full strength. It's not that they can't recruit, it's that they don't want the Chahar to have the privileges of the Mongol army. Once the Chahars have a high enough position in the military system of New China in the future, the Chahars will definitely have a lot of power, and then they will inevitably suppress the Mongols from other tribes. At that time, it would definitely lead to a monopoly in the Mongolian region, and then it would be completely monopolized by the Chahars.
So in order to avoid this, it was necessary to let the Mongols compete on their own. Let the major Mongolian tribes compete on their own, and then there must be contradictions within themselves, and then they can be used as a higher level to divide and disintegrate. Otherwise, if all the subordinates are from the same faction, or the subordinates don't have the slightest fight, then the boss will definitely not be at ease! If the courtiers do not fight, how can there be a king's peace of mind. Not to mention this time, even in the era of the republic.
So the way of balance must be very important, and this Mongolian is the same. If the Mongols let the Chahar people completely control the Mongolian region and become the absolute leader of the Mongols, it is easy for the Chahar people to use the power of the Mongolian region to blackmail their superiors.
"Alright, let's go farther away to recruit troops, and then train these cavalry into an army as soon as possible. Only after these cavalry are trained as soon as possible can they truly occupy a certain advantage in the Mongolian region. We don't have cavalry at the moment, so we may be able to defeat the enemy, but we can't pursue him. The Russians, though we are not afraid, are enough of their Cossack cavalry to disgust us. As soon as the Cossack cavalry could not break through our positions head-on, they would certainly attack the weak points that disturbed us. For example, logistics, or places like grain and grass. Of course, our logistics troops are protected by dogs, so ordinary cavalry can't attack our logistics, after all, those dogs are not vegetarians. But if they burn the herders or destroy our transportation nodes, then we will have the biggest headache. Sometimes, they simply kill our heralds, and our losses are huge. ”
"On this grassland, cavalry is not a powerful class, but it is enough to disgust you to death! To deal with cavalry, for the time being, it is ultimately necessary to rely on cavalry. If you don't have cavalry, people can disgust you to death, and there's nothing you can do. With cavalry, we will be able to carry out a fierce pursuit of the enemy after defeating the enemy, so that our victory can be guaranteed. Otherwise, if you can't beat them, you will run, and you won't be able to catch up with them. And people can attack your supply lines, even if we have dogs, we may not be able to catch up with them. Therefore, the cavalry must also be established as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
