Chapter 345

Liaodong, Liaoyang, about ten miles south of the city, temporary farms.

The general of the Ning Navy in charge of trading with each other was Li Xiaodong, a general under the command of Changyu, and when he was in charge of trading with Jiannu, he came into contact with a small Mongolian tribe that allowed two Mongolian beauties to receive Li Xiaodong.

Among them, there is a Mongolian beauty named Uyunna, who is deeply liked by Li Xiaodong, so it has become Li Xiaodong's outer room, and now Uyunna and her brother Timur are following Li Xiaodong to visit the breeding farm of the Ning Navy.

Mongolians are very yearning for the life of Liaodong people, in fact, not to mention the Mongolians, now in the entire Ming Dynasty, almost everyone yearns for the life of Liaodong, even the squires and rich people also yearn for it.

A large number of greenhouses were built in Liaodong, which could grow out-of-season vegetables, as well as a large amount of beef and mutton, and most of the landlords in Henan or Beizhili had money and no place to spend.

But Liaodong is different, and the material life is very rich.

Coming to this temporary farm, this made Timur, who had been herding sheep for more than 20 years, feel eye-opening, Timur means steel in Mongolian, and there are many people who call this name, probably similar to the probability of so-and-so gang and so-and-so. Uyunna is also a common Mongolian name that means wisdom and cleverness.

Ning Haijun's farm is not like the Mongols and Jiannu grazing, they are all in captivity, even if this is a temporary turnover farm, the scale is quite spectacular, with cement piles and barbed wire fence to enclose the land within a radius of dozens of miles, cattle and sheep can graze in this circle.

Ning Haijun has a large number of mules and horses, and the amount of pasture consumed in ordinary times is also very considerable, and it is impossible to graze everywhere like the Mongols, Ning Haijun grows grass in the same way as growing grain, watering and fertilizing every day, and when the grass grows well, he will drive the cattle and sheep in to eat, and when the grass in one pasture is finished, he will rush to the next pasture, and the family will eat it, and when the grass in the last pasture is finished, the grass in the first pasture will also grow.

Mongolians don't have this ability, they basically rely on the sky for food, and they can only consider themselves unlucky when they encounter natural disasters. In cattle and horse farms, cattle and horses are kept in captivity, and herders bring truckloads of feed over and put them into troughs.

Timur leaned over and looked, good fellow, they threw straw cakes! These grass cakes are made from ryegrass and alfalfa grass powder mixed with soybean flour, soybean meal, etc., and a certain amount of sugar and salt are added when feeding.

Timur was dumbfounded and said, "That's how you raise cattle and horses?" ”

Li Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "Is there any problem?" ”

Timur shook his head incredulously: "It's incredible! If we raise cattle and horses like this, we must go bankrupt! Are you raising animals or serving your lord!? ”

"There is no way, now the weather is dry and cold, the grass is scarce, and we are not very familiar with the grassland, so there is no way to find a pasture for wintering like you, so we have to use this stupid method."

Li Xiaodong casually took a piece of grass cake and broke it open for Timur to see: "This thing was stored in the summer." In the summer, when the grass grows vigorously and the livestock can't eat it, we let people cut the grass back and dry it, chop it, and then grind it into flour and add bean flour to make grass cakes, so that it will not be bad for a year, and in the winter when the grass is scarce, these grass cakes will come in handy. See, these animals are very fond of eating, and they have grown fat after eating. ”

Timur said, "They will eat the poor!" The amount of money it takes to prepare feed for them alone is enough to bankrupt you! ”

"How could it be! If they eat well, they can produce a lot of milk, and we will make cheese, milk wine, and milk powder and sell them out, not only will we not lose money, but we will also make a lot of money! ”

Li Xiaodong smiled, "Don't forget, we have hundreds of millions of people, even if only one or two out of a thousand people like these products, it is enough to make our products in short supply." ”

Timur was stunned for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh. Sowing seeds in spring, harvesting grass in summer and autumn to make grass cakes and storing them, and feeding livestock in winter, the Han people are clearly using agriculture to manage their pastures, but this method is particularly effective, and it has shown incomparable advantages from the beginning!

During this time, he had frequent contact with the Ning Navy, the more he contacted, the more frightened he was, the strength of the Ning Navy was too terrifying, and now the Ming Empire seems to have found a way to solve the problem of the survival and development of the Han people on the grassland, and is treating the grassland as their cultivated land to operate, step by step, this business model is not comparable to the traditional grazing model of the Mongols, the two sides are not at all a grade in terms of resisting natural disasters and operating benefits, and as time goes by, the gap between the two sides will only get bigger and bigger!

Now Timur only hopes that the Mongolian and Han ethnic groups can coexist peacefully, and that the Han people will leave a little living space for the Mongols while running Mongolia, and he will be satisfied if they are not wiped out as in the Han and Tang dynasties.

"How do you make this straw cake?"

As soon as the words came out, I realized that I was talking nonsense. Let's not say that Li Xiaodong is willing to tell him, even if Li Xiaodong is willing to tell him, he can't do it, if you want to chop and grind the flexible grass into powder, you must need an extremely precise machine, the Mongolians can't even make an iron pot, expect them to make such a precise machine? It's too strong to be difficult.

Besides, even if they had machines, they didn't have so many people to mow, cut and grind the grass, and it was hard enough to graze every day!

"Well, I don't know very well, I bought it from the factory. The workers on the ranch are only responsible for cutting the grass and drying it, and then sending it to the factory, which grinds the grass into grass cakes, and picks up the goods when we need them. ”

As she spoke, Wuyunna yawned, and they followed Li Xiaodong to the wooden house where he was resting, this kind of movable wooden house was very shocking to Timur, and now the army in Liaoyang is living in this kind of wooden house.

In fact, this kind of wooden house is the Ning Navy simple RV, just like the kind of folding RV of the car hotel in later generations, when put away, it is the appearance of an ordinary cargo carriage, one zhang eight feet long, about eight feet wide, ordinary four-wheeled carriage, once it is opened, it can form a wooden house with a length of one zhang and eight feet and a width of about one zhang and six feet, which is about thirty-two square meters.

This kind of RV does not need to be in contact with the ground, no matter how cold the weather is, there is no need to worry about frostbite, a general of Li Xiaodong's level can have an independent RV, and the military RV of the Ning Navy is a unified system.

The original version of the RV was a camper equivalent to the later generations, with a tent on the car, supporting the tent and sleeping on the car, and now the conditions are good, the infantry unit of the Ning Navy, each team is two four-wheeled vehicles, with sixty square meters, taking the way of bunk beds, but you can also sleep, of course, you don't have to think about it.

However, in Timur's eyes, like Li Xiaodong owning an independent RV, it is simply not too comfortable.

However, just when Uyunna was using the RV to facilitate hygiene, a Mongolian came to Timur in a hurry: "Timur, something is wrong!" ”

"What's going on?"

"When is it, are you still in the mood to be here, Cherge's soldiers beat our tribe indiscriminately, they killed people when they saw them, and they also stole our tribe's horses and sheep!"

Timur's tribe was only a small tribe of Mongolia, with less than 500 people in total, and he turned pale and hurried back with the Mongol.

Li Xiaodong unexpectedly received this news and hurriedly reported to Zhang Yu: "General, great, the Mongols are in trouble with Jiannu!" ”

"What's going on?"

"It is said that it was the soldiers and horses of Juerg who robbed Timur's tribe!"

"This Erg is the third son of Eyidu. The mother is the third sister of the Qing Taizu Nurhachi, and his subordinates are very arrogant within Jiannu, the troops are undisciplined, and they plunder, not to mention robbing the Mongols, even Jiannu himself robs, he does not dare to rob except for the yellow flag where he is located, and the positive yellow flag does not dare to rob, he even dares to rob the white flag of Dolgon! ”

Zhang Yu groaned: "It's a pity, this Timur tribe is too small, even if we give them some equipment, they won't dare to fight with Muerge......

Just as he was talking, Cheng Shijie's order came into the hands of Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu glanced at Li Xiaodong and said, "Are you really playing with that Mongolian woman?" ”

Li Xiaodong said: "It's true that the general let him be humble, and she is true." ”

"Li Xiaodong!"

"Inferior!"

Zhang Yu said with a serious face: "Now Jiannu is unreasonable, rushing into your Yue family's tribe, killing all the young people who dare to resist and question them, raping women, hanging children higher than the wheels on wooden stakes, even babies who are still swaddling cannot escape death, they are taken away from the hands of the crying woman, and they fall the boulder, and their brains burst, you are very angry about this matter, and lead the people of the headquarters to ......."

"I know what to do!"

For Changyu, it is simply a sleepy pillow, just want an excuse, the excuse comes, in fact, the internal fighting of the Jiannu Eight Banners is no less than that of the Ming Dynasty, but their interests are more consistent, and they have gained significant benefits from the robbery of the Ming Dynasty, so they can be twisted into a rope.

In the Jiannu Eight Banners, there are also chains of contempt, the upper three banners look down on the lower five banners, the lower five banners look down on the Mongolian left and right wings, the Mongolian left and right wings look down on the Han military flag, the Han military flag looks down on non-Liaodong nationals, non-Liaodong nationals also look down on the clothed minions, and the coated minions look down on the slaves.

As a Jiannu of Shangsanqi, it is normal to bully the Mongols, even Huang Taiji's father-in-law Mangus, brother-in-law Wu Keshan, in Jiannu, ordinary a small Niu Lu Ezhen dares to give them a face and make things difficult for them. Not to mention any dignity.

Soon Li Xiaodong led more than 4,000 infantry under his command to directly shut down the city, and drove out all the Mongols and Jiannu in the city.

After receiving the news, the Jiannu soldier Chengzheng Erge immediately realized that something was wrong, and he came to Liaoyang City: "General Li, is there any misunderstanding?" ”

"Misunderstanding?"

Li Xiaodong looked serious: "Is it a misunderstanding, you know it yourself, in view of the agreement between us, you must give me an explanation, and hand over the murderer within half an hour, otherwise you will bear the consequences!" ”

Then Erge was stunned: "What's going on?" ”

He really wanted to know what was going on? But the problem is that after asking for a long time, he didn't ask why, now there are not many soldiers and horses in Jiannu near Liaodong, only less than 5,000 people, in fact, they belong to the Eight Banners, each representing their own master, and there are really more than 60 people in the Niu Lu alone.

All Niu Lu Ezhen patted their chests and assured that their people would definitely not cause trouble, within a few days, there was no army entering Liaoyang City at all, and all the transactions were completed in the temporary mutual market in the north of Liaoyang City, about ten miles, how could there be a conflict with the Ning Navy?

Seeing that the time was over, Erge had no choice but to come to the city again: "General Li, killing people is not enough, even if you want to die, let me die clearly!" ”

Li Xiaodong did not speak, more than a dozen Mongols appeared beside him, and Timur said to Murge: "It's you, you are very unreasonable, rushing into our tribe, killing all the young people who dare to resist and question them, raping women, hanging children higher than the wheels on wooden stakes, even babies who are still swaddling cannot escape death, they are taken away from the hands of the crying woman, and they fall to the ground, and their brains burst!" ”

Li Xiaodong pointed to Wuyunna, who was crying with pear blossoms and rain, and said: "She is my wife, you ......"

"Bronco Ministry!"

Li Xiaodong said: "The Wild Horse Department is the in-law tribe of this general, you indiscriminately slaughter the Wild Horse Department, and you can't say it without giving General Ben an explanation, right?" ”

Soon, the culprit of the slaughter of the Mustang tribe was found, however, this culprit, Murg could not be handed over, because this was his fifth son, Lahada.

When Juerge was looking for how to appease Li Xiaodong's anger, the Ning Navy had already completed the preparations before the war, and unlike Cheng Shijie's battle in Pingding Prefecture, Liaoyang was the home of the Ning Navy.

As the home advantage, the Ning Navy, especially the main army of Liaodong that had long been preparing to open the film, Shen Mingyu led troops south in Datong, cooperated with Hong Chengchou, and prepared to eat the last part of Mobei Mongolia in one go, while Zhao Wencai fought in Lanzhou, and Liu Qingsong also killed in Luzon.

In the battle of Xiaori, Zhang Yu didn't catch up, and now he is already crazy. As one of Cheng Shijie's right and left hands, Zhang Yu has won the true biography of Cheng Shijie, he likes to fight head-on, and smash his opponent to pieces.

Of course, Changyu did not launch a pig attack, but was good at taking advantage of firearms.

"When the time comes, General Chuanben orders to attack on all fronts!"

With Changyu's order, from Liaoyang to Guangning, on the defensive line of nearly 1,000 miles, more than 30,000 regular troops of the Ning Navy, plus more than 60,000 militiamen, were ready for battle.

This time, Changyu concentrated more than 260 12-mounted rocket launchers, more than 120 quadruple rocket launchers, plus more than 200 Franc machine artillery, 69 three-inch guns, and 26 4-inch guns to simultaneously fire at more than 40 strongholds along the Jiannu line, especially on the front of Liaoyang City, and concentrated 26 three-inch guns, nine four-inch guns, and 12 rocket artillery, and fired fiercely at Jiannu's pillar of incense.

The camp of Jiannu was shrouded in a firelight, and the camp that Jiannu had built with great difficulty was extremely fragile in the face of this overwhelming artillery bombardment, and the stronger ones were beaten into a sea of fire, and the worse ones were directly wiped out, and even the Erge camp on the top of the mountain was also hit by many shells and killed a bunch of people.

Such a fierce shelling really made Jiannu shudder, such a power is not something that flesh and blood can withstand at all! Many Jiannu soldiers shouted wildly, hugged their heads and ran around, no matter how the officers reprimanded and shouted, they would be deaf, they were all going crazy!

Although it is said that the accuracy of the artillery of the Ning Navy is far inferior to that of later generations, the problem is that the shelling of two or three miles away is naturally not a big problem.

When the infantry of the Ning Navy rushed to the Jiannu camp, the shelling stopped, at this time these Jiannu camps have been bombarded to the ground, and the Jiannu who stuck to the camp were even more killed and wounded, and the defense capability fell to the freezing point, so the infantry of the Ning Navy attacked almost effortlessly, and several rows of guns beat the Jiannu who rushed over with a frenzied look of weapons to the holes, and then charged with bayonets with white blades, and a sudden attack down, there were few living people.

The Jiannu cavalry under Hu Erqi took the lead in the attack, and he directly escaped the Jiannu rout who fled in embarrassment, and said to the soldiers around him: "Don't fuck these stinky fish and shrimp, follow this general into Shenyang City to eat meat!" ”

The eyes of the servants of the Zhongning Navy lit up, although it was a battle achievement to kill the Jiannu army, but the problem was that Shenyang City was the real fat, and they raised their arms and shouted: "Enter Shenyang City to eat meat!" ”
