Chapter 628: The Way of the Other

For the grand cause of the Western Expedition, Zhu Di once carefully studied the history of the "predecessor" Genghis Khan's conquest in his spare time.

One of the reasons for the success of Genghis Khan's western expedition was naturally the elite of the Mongolian iron cavalry, at that time Mongolia was like the beginning of the sun, brilliant and difficult to see, in a few years it quickly integrated the entire Mobei steppe, and formed the invincible Mongolian iron cavalry.

But another reason is that Genghis Khan coerced many forces, so that the Mongols could fight stronger and stronger, and the troops became more and more warlike.

As the best of the nomadic peoples of all generations, Genghis Khan's Mongol tribes were as good at looting as they were against their enemies. When conquering other nomads, the Mongol army often sacked their tribes, leaving the herders who had lost everything to survive on the steppe.

Then they were coerced to plunder together, followed the Mongolian cavalry stained with blood, and enjoyed the taste of the raiders for nothing, and these people followed Genghis Khan all the way to the dark.

It just so happened that most of the countries that were listed in the world with Meng Yuan at that time had accumulated disadvantages for a hundred years, and the rivers were declining. But most of them have been peaceful for a hundred years, and the goods are full of houses. Meng Yuan plundered everywhere, and the treasures of the world were plundered by him, and the soldiers were jubilant, and the fighting spirit became stronger.

Raiding and slaughtering cities are what the Mongols call "traditions".

By the time Kublai Khan was in power, the rich country had almost been looted, and there were many contradictions within the Golden Family. Therefore, Kublai Khan, who could not even speak Chinese, could only turn his back on Mongolian tradition and began to practice Han law to rule the world. It is precisely because of this general trend of the world that Kublai Khan was able to defeat Ali Buge, who still stubbornly believed in "tradition", and became the emperor who established the Yuan Dynasty.

As a self-proclaimed descendant of Ali Buge, he naturally has to follow this so-called "Mongolian tradition". He subdued the western grasslands, using this set of methods of plundering and coercion.

But the times have long been different, the Ming Dynasty is not Jin and the weak Song Dynasty, and will not let the Mongols bully. Sudier is not Genghis Khan, so that all the Mongols have become one heart.

If the warriors who are barely coerced out can continue to win, it will be fine if they can always loot the property. But what if you fail?

Like now.

"Do you speak Chinese?" Ugqi Hashiha had been chopped into meat sauce, and Zhu Di didn't look at it, but just found the Mongolian prisoner who came out to respond to him first. "Your name is Abduchin?"

"Yes, the villain is Abduchin." Aduqin, who still had whip marks and blood on his face, knelt down flatteredly, as if he wanted to kiss the upper of Zhu Di's boots, but was stopped by the surrounding Yan Wangwei. "The great king of the Ming Dynasty, the villain's grandmother is Han, so she has learned a little Chinese."

"You were the first to come out to deal with Ugqi Hashha, what kind of grudge do you have against him?"

When asked about this, Abduchin's face flashed with hatred. He unconsciously touched the whip marks on his face and said, "The king of good religion knows that the villain was originally a herdsman of the Naqin tribe, and he has only been herding for a living for generations. Ugqi Hashha burned our yurts, robbed our cattle and sheep, made my Eji and Yiji unable to survive the winter, and coerced us to rob the Ming ...... for him."

He saw that the villain understood Chinese, so he asked the villain to be a tanma. But he didn't believe the news that the villain found out, and beat and scolded him at every turn......"

Zhu Di turned his head slightly and glanced at Zhang Yu, who shook his head lightly, saying that he had not heard of any "Naqin tribe".

Come to think of it, it's just a small tribe with little name.

"In this case, you will lead these Warat troops." Zhu Di said. "If it is found that there are diehards of Ugqi Hashkha and Speedier mixed in, you can kill yourself. After the preparation was completed, he marched west with the king. ”

In an instant, he was directly promoted from a horse to the leader of an army, Aduqin looked flattered, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "King Xie is merciful, King Xie trusts ......"

“…… I don't want to call it a king, and the rustic one is called Your Highness. Zhu Di said. Of course, he did not trust this Abduchin, and when he was defeated, this man remembered the grudge with Ugqi Hashkha.

But if they really let them loot the Yiji Naiyan field, I am afraid that this person will also be grateful to Ugqi Hashha.

It doesn't matter if it's trustworthy or not, and the two countries compete with each other, and the most is such a short-sighted wallgrass. Just look at which side is the winner, and they will fall to which side.

And Zhu Di, he believes that he will always win.

He was about to leave, but he heard the Abdul Chin trembling and shouting to himself: "Your Highness, Your Highness......"

The villain thought, and wanted to ask His Highness...... The sheep that went out of town? ”

He saw with his own eyes that there were flocks of sheep leaving the city every day in the city of Yijinai, but now there was a fierce battle, until the whole army was destroyed, and he only saw a pile of useless wool...... Because of this, he was whipped by Ugqi Hashha, and he really couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart.

When it came to this, Zhu Di and Xu Yungong only thought it was funny, but he didn't have the heart to explain to a pawn, so he didn't look back, stepped on the war horse and left.

"You don't need to know."

Leaving a puzzled Aduchin, cast a look of awe at his back.

……

In fact, Zhu Di's strategy was not very good, but he used Dong Zhuo's old wisdom to contact the guards in the city and ask them to send herdsmen to drive sheep out of the city during the day and into the city at night.

The herdsmen, cattle and sheep did not stay outside the city, and it was always the soldiers of the Duoyan tribe who set up yurts and disguised themselves as herdsmen to stay outside the city. They are Mongols, and it is easy to disguise themselves as herders. In order to hide their tracks, the scouts of Ugqi Hashha often act alone, but there are always wild beasts on the steppe at night, and they can't see clearly at night, and they often can't see anything when they probe, so most of these scouts don't go out at night.

In their eyes, it has become the herdsmen of Yiji Naicheng who are constantly going out of the city, which is very suitable for plundering.

As for how Zhu Di knew that there were a large number of Warat people lurking in this vicinity...... This is also simple, Yiji Naicheng is a large town between the grassland and the Central Plains, but it has only been attacked once with a tentative meaning, which is obviously unreasonable. Ugqi Hashha thinks he is wise, but the wisdom he has mastered in a small fight on the grassland is not an opponent of the Chinese art of war that has been inherited for thousands of years.

"Your Highness wants to subdue these Warats, and you need to be careful of being attacked by them." Xu Yungong said. "After all, it's not my race, and Sudie'er still has wolf ambitions...... Now that Warat and I are in the grassland, we should be cautious. ”

"It doesn't matter." Zhu Di said. "Give back to the other in his way. He was also able to coerce the herdsmen to attack us, and we could naturally coerce his rout to the west. ”

"As long as we can keep winning."

Zhu Di raised his eyes to the west, but what he was thinking about was no longer anything, his gaze had even passed through Yili, the Timurid Empire, and the Golden Horde...... and even the Great Qin Kingdom and Fran Ji seen in the map of Kunyu Wanguo......

Up to the whole Europa.
