Chapter 473: The Last Great War
In 1638, the sixth year of Xingfu.
The Ming Dynasty has stabilized the two fertile grasslands of Hetao and Bashang, and Lin Dan Khan has changed from Chahar Mongolia to Daming Khalkha Mongolian Tusi.
It is equivalent to changing from Monan Mongolia to Mobei Mongolia, and it is the Tusi of the Ming Dynasty.
Lin Dan Khan's submission to the Ming Dynasty was indeed an important event in the past eight years, mainly because the Ming Dynasty's agricultural and animal husbandry governor and the frontier agricultural and animal husbandry construction army were too powerful.
Mongolian herders are directly recruited, and those who are good at herding horses and sheep are directly recruited as long as they are not from hostile Mongolian tribes.
The salary is very generous, not only does I provide food and lodging above food and clothing, space for promotion, and even output sharing.
The family also gives basic living benefits, if they can work, there is another salary, and if they perform well within five years of entering the construction of the military tun, their children can still have the opportunity to go to school.
The Mongols of Chahar saw that under Lin Dan Khan, they had a good life in summer and autumn, and they were hovering on the line of life and death in winter and spring.
Joining the agriculture and animal husbandry army of Daming is simply a second chance for life choices.
In the first year, Chahar ran tens of thousands of people to surrender.
In the second and third years, 50,000 people came.
Thanks to the stability of the Ming social order and the development of biology and breeding science and technology, Shaanxi and Shanxi have begun to plant corn and potatoes, although the seeds of potatoes are difficult to deal with, but for the Loess Plateau with limited manpower, drought and wind, and ravines, these two crops are timely rain.
The Mongols were a little strange at first, they had never seen this kind of food and yellow food one by one? Could it be bad food?
When I eat it later, it's so fragrant~
In addition, the agricultural and animal husbandry army also raises a large number of sheep and horses, and can give full play to their advantages, and the share is not small, and the life is much stronger than under Lin Dan Khan.
According to word of mouth, Monan Mongolia knows that the Ming can eat well, and the Ming is also engaged in animal husbandry and grazing.
Those who have some skills come to run.
In the fifth year, Lin Dan Khan personally came to defect.
"I want to join the Ming Dynasty and dedicate the entire Chahar Department!"
If you don't defect, you can't defect, if you run a year later, half of his subordinates will abandon him and defect to Daming first, and then he will have no credit.
Since then, Chahar Mongolia has belonged to the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Hongyu rewarded Lin Dan Khan, in addition to a large amount of money and status, he also granted him the position of Khalkha Mongolian Tusi, so that in the future, Mobei Mongolia will be opened up by him.
As production on the dam stabilized, the various tribes of Chahar were also incorporated into the Ming Dynasty.
Wang Hongyu mobilized the army again to conquer the Houjin Emperor Taiji.
This time there was no one inside who could interfere.
This time, not only the Hunhe Army, but even the Shennong Army also came. Both soldiers and horses have enmity with Jiannu, and the spirit of the eldest brother Zhou Dunji has always influenced these two strong armies.
The two strongest new armies, with a total of 30,000 soldiers, were already armed with flintlock pistols and bayonets, a wide range of light and heavy artillery, and used the latest fuse-triggered shells, which are the real explosive shells of modern times.
Zhao Shujiao and Man Gui each had 10,000 elites. The 20,000 cavalry were fully assembled, half of which were musketeers, and the other half were modern cavalrymen with standardized armor, high training intensity, and strict discipline. Cao Wenzhao served as the deputy commander-in-chief among them, and Cao Bianjiao became a general.
Liu Qu, who had been on the front line before, was already the right governor of the Fifth Army, and Luo was also promoted to the commander-in-chief, and they each had 10,000 battalions at the level of the early new army.
There are also 60,000 defenders along the Guangning and Liao rivers.
These people were the Liao army in the past, and under Wang Hongyu's arrangement, Sun Chengzong dedicated them to reclamation and defending the city, rather than pulling people in the field.
After the army set out, these soldiers and horses were enough to hold the city and protect the grain and grass.
There are also 10,000 Liaodong battalion soldiers such as Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, and Wu Sangui, among whom there have been several rounds of screening, specifically to remove female cadres. Now I can't say that there is none, but it can be determined that it is difficult for women to move.
In this way, the main frontal force has 140,000 troops.
Wang Hongyu plans to defeat Jiannu after that, not only
It is necessary to directly open up Liaodong, establish the administrative division of the three eastern provinces in the later world, and take the Goryeo Peninsula under the rule of the Later Jin. Therefore, with a large number of "Guandong" Shandong, North Zhili to build military tun.
Among them, there are no less than 20,000 engineers, logistical troops, and medical troops, another 10,000 tuntian troops who are good at fighting, and as many as 50,000 others who are responsible for reclamation, building houses, manufacturing, and farming.
Of course, so many people need a lot of food supplies, and Wang Hongyu also mobilized the entire Tianjin, Dengzhou, and Weihai to continuously transport supplies to arrive, which lasted for half a year and finally ensured that nothing went wrong.
In addition to the frontal battlefield, there were also two flank fronts, as well as troops and horses attacking Korbi on the periphery.
Zhang Shenwu and Mao Wenlong both absorbed a lot of fleeing people, and those who had blood enemies with Jiannu were all trained into an army, although the former only had 8,000 soldiers and horses, but they were extremely good at fighting. The latter has as many as 40,000 soldiers and horses, including 3,000 descendants with excellent firearms.
In addition, there were Xuanfu Datong soldiers and horses, Bashang cavalry, Chahar tribes, and Lin Dan Khan of New Khalkha, a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses attacked the Kol tribe from the steppe.
Wang Hongyu held the final stage of the combat meeting: "To put it concisely, our army attacked Jiannu in three ways, and pushed Kol all the way.
The three roads in the north are Zhang Shenwu's Kaiyuan and Tieling guerrillas, and your main task is to constantly harass behind enemy lines and cut off the road between Jiannu and Kolbi."
"Yes!" Zhang Shenwu, who had been promoted to the right governor of the Governor's Mansion, received the order.
After Wang Hongyu finished speaking, he said to the second brother: "Second brother, this time I transferred Zhou Changshun, Zhou Gui, Li Dingguo, and 20,000 Tuntian troops to the hands of the second brother, demolishing bridges, cutting roads, and building roadblocks, and they will get twice the result with half the effort."
Zhang Shenwu was very moved, although he especially wanted to rush to the front to kill the enemy, but the third brother gave himself such a very important and relatively safe task, and he would definitely do a good job.
There is also Li Dingguo, who is also a general who grew up in the Northwest Campaign.
He and Sun Kewang both performed well in Hetao and the Western Regions under Sun Chuanting, because Sun Kewang was good at Tuntian, so he stayed in the Western Regions, and Li Dingguo, who was particularly capable of fighting, became a general in the construction of the army.
"The order will be completed!" Zhang Shenwu, Zhou Changshun, Zhou Gui, Li Dingguo and others received the order.
"The soldiers and horses of Jinju in the south attacked Gaeju, and divided their troops to harass Hetuala, invested a lot of gold, silver, and grain, and mobilized the people in Goryeo to rebel against Jiannu."
"Yes!" Mao Chengdou clenched his fists and took his life.
"In addition, let Denglai Governor Zhang Guowei sit in Jinzhou, and ask General Mao and Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, Li Guo and others to harass with all their might, and they must let go of their hands and feet."
"Yes!"
Mao Chengdou knew that his father Mao Wenlong had reinforcements around him, among which Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, and Li Guo were particularly capable of fighting, and they were from the same bitter background as the Dongjiang Army, and they were very good at launching Baoyi and Goryeo Baoyi to resist Jiannu.
Because of the distance, Mao Wenlong's department did not come this time, but his son Mao Chengdou was present, and under the contact channels such as carrier pigeons, he could communicate with Mao Wenlong on the coast of Liaodong.
Not only that, the new governor of Denglai, Zhang Guowei, and the Bohai Fleet have already left for Mao Wenlong to assist him in commanding and transporting troops.
The two partial divisions have been arranged, and now it is time to attack head-on.
"The Hunhe Army, Liu Qu, and Luo Cheng were the vanguards, crossing the Liao River and directly attacking Liaoyang. The Governor of Pontus, together with the Shennong Army, Zhao Shujiao, and Man Gui, as the backbone, maintained a high speed of mobility, which could not only rush to the front, but also ensure the safety of the middle road and the grain road."
"Yes!" The generals commanded.
Wang Hongyu looked at the new Liaodong Jingluo Lu Xiangsheng.
"Lu Jingluo, you can lead 30,000 Tuntian troops to transport grain, grass and supplies. When encountering a small group of enemy troops, I believe that Lu Jinglue's big knife will let them know that it is powerful. If a large number of enemies are encountered, the Tuntian army of this prison country can quickly build field fortifications, and they can be undefeated if they hold it tightly."
Lu Xiangsheng and the other generals of the Tuntian Army gladly accepted the order.
All arrangements have been made, and the 60,000 defenders of the city were originally guarding the rear and the weight of grain and grass, but the remaining soldiers and horses of Zu Dashou, Wu Xiang, and Wu Sangui have not yet been arranged.
Wu Xiang is good at arranging his subordinates to farm and do business, and he is not in a hurry at this time.
Zu Dashou
And Wu Sangui was a little anxious.
The former is old, but he is an ordinary general soldier, lower than Zhao Shujiao, Man Gui, and Luo Cheng, and their general soldiers. The current honor is a bit small, not enough for the future growth of the children of the ancestral family.
Wu Sangui was even more anxious.
He knew that he was very capable of fighting, and his cavalry was by no means weaker than the cavalry of Zhao Shujiao and Mangui, but he was just a general, if he missed this time, it would be the finishing work of suppressing bandits, stabilizing Liaodong and Goryeo.
If you don't step forward this time, the future will not be good.
Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui's uncles and nephews lined up together: "Marquis Dingyuan, the two of us are going to fight!" I hope to kill Jiannu myself!"
Wang Hongyu was deliberately provoking the generals just now, but now seeing that they were very active, he said, "I didn't arrange it, it's actually another risky mission, and I didn't arrange it. If you ask for war, then give you this task, if you don't, then fight steadily."
Zu Dashou and Wu Sangui were overjoyed, and of course they were willing to take a risk.
"Good! In the early stage, you were responsible for transporting food together, disguised as non-main combatants. When the battle is scorched and Pontus fights a decisive battle with the enemy's main force, you will directly sweep across the battlefield and pounce on Fushun Pass."
With that, he pointed to the center of the map.
"Fushun Pass is Jiannu's first battle to defeat the Ming Dynasty. But it is also here, taking Fushun Pass will cut off the enemy's back route from Liaoyang and Shenyang to Salhu and Hetuala. Therefore, you directly raid Fushun Pass when you are anxious.
Whether this battle is annihilated in one fell swoop, or whether it is pursued in the ravine after being defeated, your performance is crucial."
The two were overjoyed, and immediately said that they would definitely be able to do a good job of seizing Fushun Pass and fighting dogs.
......
In August, the Great War officially began.
The harassment on the South Road was huge, and Mao Wenlong's prestige was extremely high, and a large number of coatings echoed each other from afar.
Li Zicheng, Liu Zongmin, and Li Guo were stationed in Yizhou, and launched Baoyi in Goryeo to the south to rebel against Jiannu, and the main forces of the Eight Banners of Houjin were gathered in the Shenyang area, and there was a shortage of major generals in the rear, and they soon recovered seventy percent of the territory.
