Chapter 1063
The collapse was only in a split second, and Vatutin roared wildly.
He pulled out his revolver and shot six people who ran past him in succession.
When he snatched the guard's Acre rifle and prepared to take out the rout of the platoon in front of him. The rout pointed his guns directly at him!
Finished! It's all over.
The Guards Regiment, which has always been known for its strict discipline, actually pointed a gun at its commander.
Vatutin no longer dared to stop the routs at will, and neither did his guards.
Because everyone can see that these defeated soldiers have now denied their relatives, preventing them from escaping for their lives, they will really be shot!
Vatutin's bullets were reloaded, this time aimed at his temple.
When the Russian army was suffering huge casualties, Li Xiao was drinking and chatting with Ge Ritu on the grassland.
Geritu is old, and his beard is gray.
The original strong body is now fat as if it were a mountain of meat. Li Xiao was not sure if there were any horses on the grassland that could carry him.
"Huh! Old, old. Here, one of the teeth has been loosened, and now I can only use this side to eat meat.
The wolves on the steppe are old and can't gnaw on the meat. Soon, the people will have to pull me in a lele cart. When the wheels are broken, put me down.
After eating meat all his life, it's time to return this pile of meat to the grassland. The words were sad, but Geritu said them with a smile.
"Hahaha! Say you're old, who believes it! I heard that last month, you also took a Russian concubine.
You're going to die in a woman's belly one day. Li Xiao glanced at the two Russian girls who were struggling to support Geritu.
I can't tell the age of the foreigner, but I can be sure that he is very young.
This is an old pervert, who is old and flowers, and I don't know if it will crush other girls to death.
"It's all thanks to you, the Russians lost the battle. Many people fled, and some fled to the grasslands.
Now, I have a lot of blue-eyed herders.
What a pity!
You don't want an army of yellow hair and blue eyes, if you want. It is not a problem to pull up an army of 100,000 people! ”
"Huh! The army is still a little more pure. After 20 years of recuperation, the population of our Ming Dynasty has exceeded 30,000.
The population of Liaodong, Shandong, and Hebei alone has exceeded 100 million.
I want to conscript, not to mention a million army, even if it is a million army, it is a matter of call.
Don't dare to say anything else, it's not a problem to occupy your grassland. ”
"Huh! That's, that's! Over the years, thanks to your blessing. The grassland talent has a good life!
In the past, I always thought about how to reproduce the tribe and increase the number of shepherds on the grassland.
But now you see, I'm worried that there won't be enough pasture, not that there will be too many shepherds.
Now under my rule, it has reached 200,000 accounts.
The population has exceeded a million people!
But there is only so much pasture, and many tribes have begun to fight for it.
Let them enter the Great Wall, enter the place of the Han people, they will not dare. But this grassland really can't accommodate so many people.
This time, I'm here to ask you for a solution! ”
"Huh! Roast the whole sheep and don't invite you to eat it, and the way to talk about white teeth is not good! Li Xiao bared his teeth.
In fact, he had already asked, the rich smell of roasted whole sheep in the tent!
Walking into the huge tent, Li Xiao was also stunned for a moment.
In fact, the interior decoration of the Mongolian bag is not gorgeous, but the bag of Kege Ritu opened Li Xiao's eyes.
In the yurt, copper is absolutely not used for those who can use gold. Those who can use silver will never use tin, and the whole tent emits a golden light.
The wool carpet on the floor was a finger's thick.
It's fluffy and fluffy when you step on it, and it's no problem to sleep on it.
Geritu has really been issued, and there has been no war on the grassland in these years.
The Mongols no longer had to fight, as long as they grazed their cattle and sheep well, they were able to transport them to the Han people for money.
And now in winter, I am not very afraid of the white-haired wind. Because in addition to forage, they will also buy a lot of fodder from the Han people.
It is all feed made of corn, and the sheep will still grow fat in the winter after eating it.
The former Mongols were unthinkable!
Sheep are born to eat grass, and who would have thought that one day sheep would also eat grain.
The price of sheep in spring is to be more expensive.
This is also something that cannot be helped, after a winter, sheep will generally lose fat. The sheep that can be fed feed do not lose fat, and they can be sold at a good price at the beginning of spring.
The shepherds were not stupid, and they set up lele carts one after another to pull fodder from the Han people to feed the sheep.
When it was time for the beginning of spring, he took the shepherd dog and drove a flock of sheep to the ground of the Han people to sell.
Every year, the herders make a lot of money.
In the past, there were 100 sheep in the family, even if it was a good family.
But now, there are many families with tens of thousands of sheep at home. The family can't put it down, so they need to hire someone to graze the herds.
On the grassland, slowly there are already big farmers.
These people don't graze, they just keep their sheep in one place. Feeding feed all year round, the sheep grow fat and strong, which is fatter than the sheep in the place where the water and grass are abundant.
Ge Ritu didn't know how to deal with the population problem on the steppe, he didn't know how to deal with these big farmers.
Because with the rise of strength, those big farmers have some sense of unity.
Once these people unite, it is definitely a threat to Geritu.
Li Xiao actually doesn't want there to be only one voice on the grassland, and at the same time, he doesn't want the people on the grassland to be monolithic.
The development of farmers in recent years is inseparable from the connivance of the Han people.
If nothing else, it is just the feed that is supplied to the grasslands. There are tens of thousands of tons every year, and this number is rising every year.
With the existing national strength of the Ming Dynasty, it is not a problem to supply tens of thousands of tons of feed.
After all, the feed is said to be corn-based. In fact, it's more about the beans left over from oil extraction!
Daming's population has now exceeded 300 million, and it is obviously unrealistic to always eat a lot of oil. If you want to let the Ming people eat oil and water, soybean oil, corn oil, peanut oil mixed with oil, is the best choice.
Although there are still people in Jiangnan who eat rapeseed oil, the market for rapeseed oil is shrinking at a rate visible to the naked eye under the continuous attack of blended oil.
Now at least half of the Ming people are eating blended oil.
150 million people eat oil, how much soy feed is left?
It's actually a good thing to have a place to go for the mountain of beans. This effectively reduces the cost of oil extraction enterprises!
In fact, the place where the largest consumption of soybean feed is the pig breeding base in Daming.
For example, in the suburbs of Beijing, there are places like Xi'an, Jinan, and Tianjin. There have been thousands, if not tens of thousands, of pig breeding bases.
Once the effects of large-scale farming were revealed, the power of large-scale farming destroyed the individual farming industry almost overnight.
Pig farmers with small doors are no longer the main force in the market.
The pigs they raise do not have the stability of their families, nor do they have the fat of others. There is no fixed date for slaughter!
The number of pig farmers in rural areas is shrinking at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
There is no way to do it, ordinary farmers raise pigs, and the final result is likely to be a loss of money.
All the children in these places need to go to school, and there is still time to hunt pigweed.
Seeing that Li Xiao was just eating mutton under the service of the maid, he never said anything about the big farmers.
Ge Ritu understood in his heart that they were all smart people.
Sometimes, you don't have to speak too thoroughly.
Since Li Xiao wants the current situation, then give him the current situation.
After many years of fighting, Geritu knows. If the Ming people go against Li Xiao's wishes, as long as it does not involve core interests, Li Xiao is still approachable.
But if the alien race goes against Li Xiao's will, then the consequence can only be underground, and he complains to Changshengtian or Temujin.
Although Geritu is also an old man, he still doesn't want to die so early.
"There are few good things on our grassland, so only this mutton can get our hands on it.
It's not like going to the capital, where you can eat shrimp that big and crabs that big.
Sometimes I think about it, I still buy the next big property in the capital and settle down in the capital.
But a handful of old bones, stay on the grassland all his life.
I can't walk yet, so I grab a sheep whip. If you can walk, you have to ride a sheep.
My ancestors were steppe people, and I am also a steppe people, and my descendants will definitely herd sheep as well.
Ay! I can't enjoy it. Gritu drank a bowl of wine and looked a little lonely.
"Huh! You old boy, if you don't want to enter Beijing, just say it.
You're a straight-hearted person, and when you speak, you have turned a corner.
Letting you enter Beijing is just to let you Mongolians have a voice to speak in the court.
Since you don't want to, it's better not to go.
Are the three thousand people you prepared ready? ”
Li Xiao also took a sip of wine, and he didn't want Ge Ritu to enter Beijing. Sure enough, the old boy was shocked.
Since you don't want to enter Beijing, you have to obey another order from yourself.
Three thousand Mongol cavalry, with the Ming army expedition to Chechnya.
"That's naturally ready, according to your requirements, to select the best hunters. Also, bring at least three hunting dogs per person.
As soon as your orders were issued, I recruited the best hunters.
The Chechens were blind, and they dared to wield the tiger whiskers of the Ming Dynasty.
Didn't say it, this time we must set foot in Chechnya.
We, the Mongols, are willing to shed blood with you Han Chinese. ”
Ge Ritu patted his chest and said very heroically.
He knew, it was an exchange.
If he doesn't prepare the best hunter, then he definitely needs to go to Beijing.
The sons are not successful, and they are not united.
Once you enter Beijing, you can't reach the whip. Even if those big ranchers don't engage in any conspiracy, maybe their sons will fight themselves.
At that time, the already weakened grassland will be even more fragmented.
The rule of the Golden Family on the steppe is completely over.
In order to continue to rule the steppes, he must send his most capable men. Instead of just enlisting some shepherds to fool around!
"The Chechens are dead this time, and no one can stop the breakthrough of the Central Asian Railway. However, Grozny is located in the mountains.
It's not so easy to attack!
So, you'll need experienced hunters under your command. And a large number of hounds!
Now that your men are assembled in Ordos, get on the train as soon as possible. Follow the Ming to attack the Chechens.
Rest assured, your men will be compensated for their losses. Those who have made military achievements alive will also be rewarded according to the standards of the Ming people.
After the warriors have shed blood, there will be no less! ”
Before you go, make sure you make sure you do.
"Huh! The first batch has already set off, and maybe they have all entered the Western Regions now.
You can rest assured, they are all hunters selected near the Black Forest. They have grown up in the mountains and forests since they were children, and the mountains and forests are as familiar to them as their home. ”
"That's good!" Li Xiao nodded, he believed that Ge Ritu had not dared to lie to him.
Sun Zhijie, who was in Yili, had just finished the drill, holding two telegrams in his hands.
The first letter came from Uralsk, and the commander of the Russian army, Vatutin, did not wait for the Ming army.
The offensive towards Grozny has already been launched, and there is no further information yet.
The second telegram was sent by Li Xiao, asking him to stay on hold in Ili and wait to receive 3,000 Mongol cavalry.
The cavalry is basically about to be eliminated in the Ming army. Except for some border guards on the steppe, there was no place for cavalry in the Ming army.
Originally, the first cavalry division of Manye was also the only cavalry division.
Now all the tanks and armored vehicles are being replaced, and they are only keeping the cavalry on the number.
The only thing that could prove their cavalry identity was the horse's head on the armband.
But now it's a mountain battle, and tanks and armored vehicles are not of much use.
On the contrary, the Mongol soldiers, who were familiar with the mountains and forests, were more suitable for this military operation.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, and Dashuai is no exception.
For Li Lin's first war, Li Xiao did everything he could.
Even the Mongol soldiers were used, which shows that Li Xiao attached great importance to this attack on Chechnya.
To wait for the Mongol soldiers, the troops had to continue the exercises in Ili.
At the same time, Sun Zhijie telegraphed Geng Jingzhong in Uralsk.
He must pay close attention to the movements of the Russian army, and what kind of results they have achieved, he must be informed as soon as possible.
The troops stayed in Ili for a few more days, and these days, Sun Zhijie organized joint exercises for various units almost every day.
People from different combat units want to pinch together to form fists, and this kind of drill is an indispensable thing.
On this day, Sun Zhijie was still commanding the troops to exercise.
The chief of the communications section personally sent a telegram!
When he opened the telegram, Sun Zhijie's face immediately became ugly.
Li Lin, who was helping at the headquarters, peeked at the telegram in Sun Zhijie's hand.
The Russian army was defeated and suffered heavy losses.
All heavy weapons were lost, and more than half of the personnel were injured. Now the morale of Uralsk is low, and there are often rangers in the vicinity.
He asked the commander to send troops quickly to calm the people's minds.
"The Russian army was actually defeated......!"
