The grassland problem has always plagued the Central Plains Dynasty, no matter what dynasty it is, you can fight the grassland people in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, but you can never make the grassland people completely surrender, and you can't even hinder their ability to reproduce.

When the Central Plains Dynasty slowly weakens and begins to go downhill, the steppe people will become a life-urging ghost, and they will start to wander around you non-stop, and when they find the opportunity, they will slash you with a knife, although they will not kill you at all, but they will make you bleed continuously.

Some people say that the grassland peoples harassed and invaded the Central Plains because of their natural murderous nature, barbarism and lack of civilization, but in fact, Wang Xuan still believes that this is caused by the natural environment.

The living environment on the grassland is too harsh, and whenever the long winter arrives, the snow and the howling north bring more than romance.

Perhaps the southerners will think that the snow-covered world is a beautiful beauty, but that is because they do not live here, and for the steppe people, it is called the White Plague.

The reason why it is called the White Plague is because he will freeze to death a large number of grassland people who lack heating equipment and ability, as well as the cattle and sheep that countless grassland people rely on for survival, and in order to resist the White Plague, the grassland people have to launch an invasion war every winter and loot more food and materials to ensure that they and their families can survive this winter safely.

Of course, even if you can't loot, it's good to be able to kill a group of people, even if there are not many supplies, but there are fewer people, relatively speaking, the living people have more hope of survival.

It sounds cruel, but it's true, the barren steppe can't feed so many people.

"Teacher, what do you need us to do?" Zhu Youxiao was the most excited, and even forgot to raise his hand as he asked on weekdays.

Wang Xuan unexpectedly did not get angry, but replied with a smile: "The whole thing is almost divided into several steps, the first is of course to attack by force. ”

"If you want to completely rule the grassland and eradicate the threat from the grassland, the first thing to do is to kill Lin Dan Khan!"

"Therefore, the expedition is the first step, after eliminating the grassland magnates led by Lin Dan Khan, a new round of construction of the grassland will begin."

"In fact, the grassland is not barren, but the grassland people have no technology, no ability to develop, there are a lot of mineral deposits under that piece of grassland, such as coal, just want to support the construction of the grassland, or first pave roads, cement, can pave the road to make the traffic smooth, can also quickly complete the construction of houses, with convenient transportation, just the wealth created by animal husbandry, can feed many people."

"The current grassland people's way of life and breeding methods are too backward, after effective improvement, the same large grassland, can feed cattle and sheep can reach three times the current level, and the domestic demand for cattle and sheep is also increasing day by day, but after there are enough interests, we Han people can live in the grassland, and there is no grassland people, of course, construction is not a problem, now what is needed is to eliminate Lin Dan Khan."

"Teacher, I am willing to personally lead the troops to the grassland to eliminate Lin Dan Khan." Zhu Youxiao's face flushed, for a twenty-year-old hot-blooded teenager, to be able to follow in the footsteps of his ancestors, Yang Wei Grassland has always been his dream, or rather, it is the dream of every Ming Emperor.

No harmony, no compensation, no land, no tribute, the Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies!

In any case, the Ming Emperor did this, and in the entire history of China, the Ming Emperor is also the most rigid emperor.

Fortunately, there are no ministers here, otherwise I am afraid that I am kneeling on the ground again, what civil fort is not far away, what gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, what emperor is the world's people, how can he easily get into danger, anyway, it is wailing and using all kinds of plausible reasons to prevent the emperor from personally conquering this practice.

But now there are a group of hot-blooded young people sitting here who are on par with Zhu Youxiao, following Wang Xuan in the past three years, they have learned a lot of things, understand the sophistication of human feelings, and learn to be able to bend and stretch, but only they have not lost this blood, and they have always believed that when they meet on a narrow road, life and death are down, look at you, and do it if you are not satisfied.

"Teacher, I'll go too, take me one!"

"Take me one!"

“+1”

“+365”

"Hahaha, okay, let's go." Wang Xuan smiled, he didn't think that the extermination of Lin Dan Khan was something too difficult, in fact, the current Tatars and the Ming Dynasty were not comparable at all, manpower, equipment, mobilization ability, morale, etc. were in a state of crushing in all aspects, and Wang Xuan could not see the possibility of defeat at all.

The reason why it has not been shot is that the time is not ripe enough, and now the first phase of the construction goal in the north of the Ming Dynasty has been basically completed, and in the past three years, a large number of infrastructure talents have been trained, and a part of the manpower can be divided into the Mongolian steppe to start construction.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said: ...... Feng Mu Guogong guarded the southwest border of the Ming Dynasty, Daxing Tuntian, persuaded the agricultural mulberry, rejuvenated the virtuous and learned, spread the culture of the Central Plains, stabilized the frontier, worked hard, and specially added Mu Qiyuan as the king of southern Burma, fief southern Burma, all laws, set their own ......"

This holy decree opened a precedent for the early days of the founding of the country, and then, a succession of holy decrees were issued, basically the southern region of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di two generations of emperors were entitled in the south of the territory, but the size of the distance is different, the southernmost point, has reached both sides of the Strait of Malacca.

At the same time, Wang Xuan completely opened up a series of related technical materials such as cement factories, steel mills, and textile factories to support these noble families to expand their overseas territories, after all, Wang Xuan's goal was not to make much money, and he was not able to supply the consumption of these basic materials in the world.

Just when the whole Ming Dynasty was focusing on another large-scale development of the south, quietly, a cavalry team of 10,000 people disappeared from the capital, along with the emperor and more than 300 noble children.

It is predictable that there will be another wave of chickens and dogs jumping in the court, and Wei Zhongxian will be blocked in the palace again, this time he has experience, after all, no matter what happens, it is good to get used to it.

When he learned that Wang Xuan led people to kill the grassland, and wanted to completely exterminate Lin Dan Khan, many old ministers in the court were frightened and did not come up, and fainted directly, it was a Tatar, only with 10,000 people, without any logistical supplies, they dared to go deep into the steppe alone, and it was the emperor himself, isn't this the same as sending him to death!

For these, in the hearts of the old ministers who have lived all their lives on the border of the grassland people, sending troops to the grassland is a taboo that cannot be violated, and it is absolutely impossible to achieve victory if there is death or life.

It's not that they don't know that the Ming Dynasty has developed rapidly in recent years, and the national strength is thriving, but if they want them to change their concepts and eliminate the fear of the grassland in their hearts, it is a fantasy.

Therefore, it is very simple, Wang Xuan did not reveal any news at all, and directly led the troops away, besides, this time is different from the past, the military and the government are separated, and these are not their responsibility.

Of course, it is not that there are no people in the court, knowing that since Wang Xuan dares to make a move, he is completely sure, but his own 'Qilin'er' spoke out with the army, and above the battle array, the swords and guns have no eyes, and it is inevitable that they will bump into each other, if there are three long and two short, they will also be distressed to death.

Yes, these gentlemen of the year have now become the 'unicorns' of each family, not to mention that they have been educated by Wang Xuan in the past three years, and they have a friendship with the emperor, and they will definitely be able to carry forward after inheriting the family business in the future, even if they are the second son, they cannot inherit the title or family business, and with Wang Xuan and the emperor's two backers, they may not be able to kill a broader world.

Now that they are on the grassland, it is no wonder that families are worried.

All the way out of the Great Wall and into the grassland, Wang Xuan took out a large map and threw it to Zhu Youxiao, let this group of people study it by themselves, he came to escort him, and at the same time to appreciate the scenery of the grassland, it was Zhu Youxiao's group of people who really made the decision, after all, it was their graduation exam.

"We're in this position right now." Zhu Youxiao was both nervous and excited, and it was not an exaggeration to say that this was a battle to destroy the country, as the commander of this war, he was inevitably nervous when he went to the battlefield for the first time, pointed his finger on the map, raised his head and said to the people around him: "According to the intelligence, Lin Dan Khan's current location is here, and according to the nearest route, we should march from here." ”

"In pursuit of the speed and suddenness of the march, we were light and simple, and we only had three days of supplies with us, so along the way, we had to get enough food from those steppe people, and there were some changes in the route."

Seeing that the crowd around him nodded one after another, Zhu Youxiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and turned his head to look at Wang Xuan again.

"Don't look at me!" Wang Xuan waved his hand, "You have the final say in this matter, in fact, it doesn't matter if you don't complete the task successfully this time, as long as the army doesn't suffer a lot of losses, so you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself." ”

It was rare for Wang Xuan to speak so well, and Zhu Youxiao's last worry was completely put down.

I have a detailed map in my hand that I have compiled in the past few years, I have a compass, and I can also determine the direction through the starry sky, so I won't get lost on the prairie.

Late at night, starry, a crescent moon can not bring much light to the grassland, 10,000 troops stand still, as if completely integrated into the night, Zhu Youxiao is at the forefront of the team, looking at the little starlight on the grassland in front of him and said to the people around him: "The front is a small tribe, according to the data, the number of people does not exceed two thousand, in order not to leak the news, we must kill them all." ”

"Yes!" A group of people responded in a low voice.

"In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, now the army is divided into four teams, surrounding the past from four directions, and now it is starting to match the table, and act on time in an hour!"

After the order, the army was divided into four, Zhu Youxiao personally led the team of men and horses to stay put, and the other three teams gently knocked the horse's belly, strolled around in a big circle.

There were no flares, no rumbling drums, and at the moment the time came, the soldiers in all four directions dismounted, led the horses silently towards the camp.
