"That's right! My lord, in fact, Dowa knew that they would not be able to defeat us, so he was willing to retreat in the mountains and forests in the north, but he was also worried that they would have no food to eat! All we have to do is make them afraid! We could go at any time, but we're gone... What do they eat? ”

Xian Feng's plan actually sounded very effective to Huo Weihua.

It can even be said to be a conspiracy, as if he said directly to Dova: "You won't come out again... Annan's grain, you don't think about it at all.."

Relying on the grain accumulated in advance in the northern mountains, Rao is Huo Weihua himself felt that Dowa should not be able to last long....

But in the face of Xian Feng's request to burn the grain, Huo Weihua couldn't help frowning, so he had to say cautiously: "Is there no better way to do it?" ”

Xian Feng lowered his head and waited for a moment before raising his head again and speaking, "My lord! Xiaguan heard that the rice in Annam is of good quality, and it has a more fragrant fragrance than the rice in the south of the Ming Dynasty, if it can't be burned... Then you can only eat a little more, and then make a show! ”

Huo Weihua nodded and said: "The military food of the imperial court is also hard to come by, and it is better to burn the grain of Annan rashly, it is better to directly use it as the military food of the imperial court!" It also reduces the burden...."

Xian Feng nodded and agreed.

In fact.

The situation is exactly the same as Xian Feng's vision, and at the end of last year, there was a period of heavy rain between the northern and central parts of Annam.

The bad weather made a large amount of grain not sent to the north according to the predetermined plan, and it ushered in the rapid landing and rapid interspersing of the Ming army!

Almost in a very short time.

Once again, the grain-producing regions in the central part of the country have lost contact with the north.

This makes Dova anxious!

The poor grain production in the mountainous area is not much, not to mention that it is not yet the time for the spring grain harvest.

This made Dova have to go to various Tusi tribes again and again to find food when facing the food needs of tens of thousands of people under his command.

But he knows it's not a long-term solution.

If they can't get food, or if the Ming army is still unwilling to go to war with them in the north, then trouble will befall them.

It is they who are cut off from the lifeblood of food! 、

.....

Days went on.

The Ming army was only constantly moving back and forth between the production areas in the center and the mountainous areas in the north, but it did not seem to have the slightest intention of continuing to attack the north.

However, at this time, Dova's spies came with another piece of news that made him feel like he was falling into an ice cave...

That is, the Ming army discovered the warehouse where they originally stored grain, and not only that, there are already rumors... The Ming army would only begin to fight north after the spring grain harvest.

In the middle of the mountains and forests.

Dova's angry big hand slapped on the table in front of him: "The Ming army never thought of attacking us at all, all this is an illusion!" If it really comes to the spring after the grain harvest, then we will only be greeted by starvation! ”

The Ming army did not attack, and he was barely able to accept it.

After all, with the enemy having a defensive advantage, even Dova himself will not attack in the short term in the face of such a situation.

Can.. Now the problem is...

Food, like a giant sword hanging above the heads of both sides! However, Dova knew that this giant sword was even more deadly to him!

Da Ming can transport so many soldiers from the sea regardless of the cost.

It's the same way that you can transport a steady stream of grain from the sea regardless of the cost, and you haven't figured out the logic of this before.

This made Dowa feel a little embarrassed!

"Ahh

This situation is like a dead end, so that Dowa can't help but roar in the mountains and forests!

But at this time, another piece of news came, which directly made Dowa faint on the spot.." Checkmate... Listen to the fact that the army began to transport our grain to their ships. It's starting to be shipped back to Ming gradually..."

At the same time as the war in Annam was going on.

On the other hand, in the Ming Dynasty, another army, under the leadership of Meng Tu, began another process of marching towards Mongolia.

"Soldiers! Last year, we laid down the whole of Mongolia, and someone asked me... Why not stay a little longer? Why do you want to continue to use troops against Mongolia..."

"Today General Ben will tell you! Last year we defeated the Mongol army, and this year we are going to defeat all the Mongol herdsmen! ”

Monton's words are infectious.

On the school ground, the soldiers shouted in unison: "If you don't break Mongolia, you won't return to the dynasty!" ”

"Don't break Mongolia! Vow not to return to the dynasty! ”

Ruling on paper meant nothing, and all the plans made last winter against the Mongols were nothing more than a military approach to rule.

As the Annam War progressed, Zhu Youzhen increasingly felt that his wallet was constantly being emptied, so his policy towards Mongolia began to change to a certain extent.

Of course.. This change is not widespread.

The main thing is that it has changed from the previous Huairou means of Mongolia for a certain period of time to start this year... Mongolia has to make money for the Ming Dynasty.

In other words, even if you can't make money, you have to provide a steady stream of animal husbandry products, and Zhu Youzhen urgently needs a horse farm.

The three Mongolian provinces that are expected to be built are the best places that Zhu Youzhen thought of!

The 10 infantry divisions of the Great Tomorrow Tiger Army set out from Datong Mansion in Shanxi Province and began to receive the rich results left over from the Mongolian battle last year.

There are also many Ming officials who are accompanied by him, and Zhang Lun is also impressively listed.

Before leaving, Zhu Youzhen thought about it all night and decided to let Zhang Lun pull up the Mongolian banner first, but if he rashly gave a Mongolian protector, Zhu Youzhen was still a little hesitant.

Let's put the matter of the protector in the back first, and it is already a good thing that the three provinces can be clearly divided within this year....

There is no reason for the west out of Yangguan...

After less than a month, good news came from the Mongolian steppe, and the army of the Ming Dynasty was like a bamboo.

Everywhere they went, all the Mongol tribes and herders submitted to each other.

In a short period of time, the newly established three major Mongolian provinces of the Ming Dynasty already had a rough appearance, and millions of cattle and sheep were seized... However, for the time being, it did not collect it uniformly, but sent special personnel to ask the local Mongolian herdsmen to continue to take care of it.

Mongolia pacified, a big victory!

In the third year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty set up three major provinces of Moxi, Tatar and Hetao, corresponding to the three major regions of Mongolia...

The traditional main tribes of the northern Mongolian nomads began to cease to exist ...
