Chapter 147 The army was defeated like a mountain, and the grassland was flattened in a battle

Ao Bai led the army to pursue behind, until the north of Shandan did not see Geldan's army, it is inevitable that there is some strangeness in his heart, but he does not know that Geldan did not take this road, there are only 10,000 or 20,000 suspicious soldiers on this road, and Geldan's army is still behind him.

Walking further, I actually ran into Ainengqi.

"General Aobai, why are you here?"

"It turned out to be General Ai, I pursued the remnants of Geldan all the way here, I didn't expect to meet you, I don't know if you met Geerdan's brigade?"

"Then you can run a little fast, Geldan's army is still behind you, it is reported that they set off from Shizui Mountain and walked not long before turning north, preparing to return to the west through Tsarist Russia, and in front of you are some of Geerdan's suspicious soldiers, which have been wiped out by me."

"Haha! I'm still wondering, how did Geerdan run faster these times, and the intensity of the engagement became smaller and smaller, so I will report to Wu Dashuai, where are you going? ”

"Now General Gao Jie is clearing the remnants of Geldan on the grassland, and I am ordered to take charge of this generation."

"Okay, that's it."

After the two groups of men separated, Ao Bai found Wu Sangui to report on the situation of Geerdan, according to Geerdan's marching speed, now he was afraid that he had entered the territory of Tsarist Russia, and it was too late to chase after him, so he reported the battle situation to Gao Jie and Huang Degong, and at the same time joined the team to clean up the remnants of Geerdan.

After the defeat and retreat of Geerdan's army, most of the troops who heard the news began to migrate and completed more no-man's land, Wu Sangui's army basically advanced at full speed in the absence of any resistance, and the march was too fast and sparsely populated, so that the contact between the various armies could not be guaranteed for a while, so it caused his men and horses to run to the front of Geerdan's army.

This can't be blamed on him, for anyone who fights on the grassland for the first time, running quickly in the vast grassland, I'm afraid that he will encounter this situation.

By the time the information from all walks of life was gathered on Gao Yiming's desk in Nanjing, the entire grassland had settled down.

Gao Yiming ordered Zhang Tongyi to take the opportunity to send troops to occupy Hami, looking for an opportunity to enter Guguizi and Beiting, and on the other hand, he ordered Wu Sangui and others to gather and pacify the people of the grassland, so that they could live in place at ease, in order to strengthen the rule of the grassland, he ordered the whole country to pay for 300,000 laborers to go north, and establish more than 20 military cities in the vicinity of Tsarist Russia. The prairie suddenly became lively.

Geerdan's southern expedition failed, the Ming Dynasty's big move in the border pass naturally attracted the attention of the northern neighbor Tsarist Russia, but now he is unable to go south, just ask the Ming Dynasty not to attack him from behind, for which the Tsar sent a mission, ready to repair the relationship between the two countries in the Ming Dynasty, Gao Yiming naturally welcomed, year after year, although there is no problem with financial resources, but after all, people are flesh and blood, after all, they have to rest, and a large territory on the grassland also needs to be strengthened and consolidated, although the reinforced concrete structure was built quickly, However, it will take a long time for the people to come together, and it will take time for the people who have moved from the Guanwai to the original residents of the grasslands to coordinate.

However, now, after this battle, Geldan was greatly injured, and Tsarist Russia sent people to repair it, and the Ming army needed to garrison the army on the border between Hami and Tsarist Russia, and the other armies could finally withdraw to the area of the capital to rest.

After the border stabilized, Gao Yiming also ordered the Ming army to occupy the area southeast of the line from Beiting to Yili, and did not go to Geldan for three years to fight a decisive battle, and has been stabilizing the country and strengthening the border defense.

However, Geerdan, who escaped a catastrophe and returned to Zungar, was not honest, although he did not have the strength to advance eastward for a short time after the defeat, but he continued to encourage the countries of the Western Regions and the Heshuo Special Department on the Tibetan Plateau to continue to attack and harass the Ming army, for this reason, Gao Yiming let Ainengqi and Ao Bai lead the army into the Western Regions to assist Zhang Tongyi to pacify various places and appease the local residents. In addition, Gao Jie was also sent to Sichuan, and with the assistance of Qin Liangyu's son Ma Xianglin, he prepared to recover the war of the Wusi Tibetan Capital Division.

Due to the relatively lenient policy of the imperial court, after several years of governance, the various departments of the grassland tended to be stable, and many talents were also elected to the imperial court as officials, and there were also officials selected from the Western Regions, which greatly promoted the integration of various ethnic groups and laid the foundation for the next step of national unity and prosperity.

Before the Yuan Dynasty, the Tibetan Plateau was rarely able to go up due to altitude sickness, and after the Yuan Dynasty, there were more exchanges with the Central Plains, and there were more people who went to the plateau, but if you want to carry out large-scale operations, it is not very realistic, in order to ensure safety and combat effectiveness, Gao Yiming is ready to develop oxygen tanks, which must have been unimaginable before, but now with electricity, it is still possible to produce oxygen by electrolysis of water.
