Chapter 642: Northern Expedition

readx;

The cold wind blew the flag of the school field, and the word "Daxia" on the flag was particularly eye-catching. It stands to reason that www.biquge.info Ming soldiers' military flags should be a "Ming" character. Now the word Daxia directly proves that the Ming Dynasty has changed the dynasty. Now, the Central Plains is the master of the Great Xia Dynasty. And the name of the protagonist is Jiang Xia.

At this time, the time is the sixth day of the winter month that is approaching the winter solstice, and in such a time period, under normal circumstances, if people can choose not to go out, they will try not to go out. Because after the winter solstice, the annual major festivals such as Chinese New Year's Eve and New Year will follow, and according to the customs of the Chinese people, this time should be a family reunion, and the old and young should gather together for family fun.

However, Jiang Xia chose to set up a general platform at the 3,000 battalion of the Beijing Division at this time, held a swearing-in meeting, and decided to wave the Northern Expedition.

The significance of this Northern Expedition has three main aspects. First, to consolidate the situation. After all, Jiangxia has just ascended the throne and become emperor, and it is a change of dynasty, and there must be many forces in the country that are ready to move, intending to disrupt the situation, and then fish in troubled waters to achieve hegemony. Therefore, Jiang Xia must show his strength at this time to dispel those people's careful thoughts with deterrence.

Both, stabilize the border. For a long time, the northern grasslands have been the trouble of the Central Plains. Especially after Genghis Khan conquered the Central Plains, the grassland chasing tribes was not only a problem for the Han people, but also a great enemy in their hearts. You must know that after the Mongols entered the customs, they did not do less to slaughter the city. During the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people were completely inferior to the Mongols, and the oppression of the Han people was only recorded in the history books, and it was only a drop in the bucket.

Three, save Arsu. In order to solve the problem of the ethnic groups and the Han people in the northern steppes, it is completely impossible to rely on force alone. The northern grasslands have strong survivability and high combat effectiveness. Suppression by force will be stable for several years at most. If you want to have long-term peace and stability, the best way is to assimilate the northern steppes and go to tribes.

Educate them with the culture of the Central Plains, and replace the nomadic culture of the tribes in the north with the cultivation culture of the Central Plains. In this way, it is possible for the northern grassland tribes to coexist peacefully with the Han nationality and prosper together.

And to achieve all this, it is necessary that the northern steppe tribes have a leader who supports all this, and the Han leaders work together to promote it. Arsu is undoubtedly the best choice.

Of course, this is Yu Gong. In terms of selfishness, Arsu is still Jiang Xia's brother-in-law. In any case, Jiang Xia should also go to save him.

Therefore, from these three aspects, the Northern Expedition is imperative and imminent.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Jiangxia ascended the throne, and immediately began preparations for the Northern Expedition after arranging various affairs between the DPRK and China.

The essence of war is the consumption of resources. Grain, grass, population, talents, all kinds of resources competition. The reason why Jiangxia chose to go out in winter was to choose the opportunity to fight when the enemy was weak and we were strong.

It is important to know that most of the tribes in the Tatar country live a nomadic life. In spring and summer, the pasture is rich and abundant, and the supply of Tatar will naturally be convenient and fast. Plus they are fighting locally, and they have a natural advantage. If he played at that time, I am afraid that even if he wins, Jiang Xia will pay a lot of price.

Of course, there are also problems such as weather and combat environment when fighting in winter. But fortunately, the current Daxia Dynasty has a strong foundation, and when Jiang Xia was in charge of the Ming Dynasty, he accumulated a lot of wealth for the Ming Dynasty. Coupled with Xiao Valve, Wang Valve, and Yuan Valve, the "friendly support" of these gate valve families.

Jiang Xia's military equipment and materials were extremely sufficient, which was completely enough to support him to fight a major battle similar to the Northern Expedition. In such a situation of material comparison, factors such as weather and operational environment can basically be put aside for the time being. After all, on the one hand, you are hungry to fight, and on the other hand, you are full of food to fight. The probability of winning or losing, needless to say, also knows that the one over there will be relatively large.

Before Jiangxia ascended the throne, the Northern Expedition had already been decided, and he would personally serve as the commander and personally drive the expedition. Although Jiangxia's decision, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military were very opposed. But in the end, he still became a single-minded king, insisting on conquering the Tatars himself.

The reason why this is not for anything else is only because when Jiang Xia left Uliangha, Arsu made an agreement with him that "I only wish to be brothers for the rest of my life".

On the stage, Jiang Xia was wearing a finely crafted gilded lion heart guard armor with a Longyuan sword hanging from his waist, looking mighty.

This expedition, known as 400,000 troops, was divided into three routes. Jiang Xia led an army of 200,000 in the middle of the road, entered the territory of Tatar from Juyongguan, and attacked from the front. Then the army on the left, led by Yu Dayou, entered the territory of Tatar from Yanmen Pass. The army on the right was led by Zhong Bin and entered from Shanhaiguan.

The three sides were launched in unison, and finally a general attack was carried out at Uliangha, in order to destroy the Tatars in one fell swoop. Whether or not the Tatar regime will be transferred back to Arsu after the fall is another story.

Jiang Xia held three pillars of high incense in his hand and inserted them into the altar. Then he took a roll of yellow silk from Zhong Bin on the side, and the silk cloth was written on the oath, which was the reason for the Northern Expedition.

Basically, in the event of a major war, this is a necessary procedure, which is called "righteousness". It's like when Nurhachi attacked the Ming Dynasty, he also sued the sky with seven hatreds. This kind of thing, although it seems to have no real effect, is actually very demoralizing.

The soldiers felt that what they were doing was righteous, so they naturally killed the enemy and fought hard. If even the soldiers feel that what they are doing is wrong, they are naturally afraid and unwilling to do their best.

However, if it is the Northern Expedition of the Central Plains, this oath is actually almost written casually. In this era, the Han nationality in the Central Plains and the national hatred of the northern tribe have a long history, if it is said that the Northern Expedition fought the Tatars, the entire Ming Dynasty did not raise their hands in favor of the people who were afraid of a minority.

The oath said: "Northern Tatars, deceive my Han people to be generous." He has repeatedly violated my borders, deceived my people, robbed me of my money, destroyed my houses, trampled on my fields, and was arrogant and domineering. As a member of the Great Xia Dynasty, I have been taught by the Holy Master since I was a child and have been kind to others. But today's ritual law cannot influence the barbarians, so they have to show them with swords. Hugh told the barbarians to think that I have no one in China who dares to fight, gentlemen, dare to fight?"

"Fight, fight, fight......" At the bottom of the group, a group of soldiers shouted loudly, and the sound was completely shocking. At this point, the soldiers in Jiangtai were only a small part of the 400,000-strong army, but this soldier felt like the 100,000-strong army shouting in unison.

Hearing such a voice, Jiang Xia's heart was also arrogant, he pulled out the Longyuan Sword at his waist, pointed the long sword forward, and said loudly: "Okay! Let's go!" r1058
