Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 803, Sending troops to the Western Regions

"Sell newspaper~sell newspaper~"

"Hamiwei betrayed my Ming Dynasty, Turpan soldiers invaded Gansu~"

"The emperor was furious and sent [-] troops to attack the Western Regions~"

In the morning of the capital city, in the cold wind, the voice of the newsboy kept wafting, and suddenly the whole street seemed to come to life. People who had been waiting for newspapers for a long time emerged from the streets and alleys, surrounding the newsboy , buy today's Daming Morning Post.

Daming is about to go to war again!

And it was still in the winter to use troops against the Western Regions, which made everyone in Ming Dynasty excited.

"Okay~"

"The imperial court has finally used troops against the Western Regions."

"This Turpan dares to challenge me, Daming Dragon and Tiger, despite his own strength. This is simply courting death."

"There is also this Hamiwei. My Ming Dynasty has always been kind to them, but he even betrayed my Ming Dynasty and took refuge in Turpan. He is simply an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf."

In the Tingyu Pavilion teahouse, many tea drinkers read the Ming Morning Post and started discussing with great interest.

"Do you think our Daming can win?"

"It's extremely unfavorable to march and fight in this winter. I, Ming Dynasty, have never fought in winter."

Someone said with some concern, to be honest, winter is really not suitable for combat, it is too cold, and it is difficult for soldiers and horses to withstand the test of cold.

Moreover, winter is also a great test for grain transportation and logistical support. It is actually not suitable to use troops in the Western Regions now.

"Nonsense, my Ming soldiers are invincible in all battles, we have swept all directions, and even the most powerful little Tatar prince died of hatred. What are the Oala tribes in the Western Regions?"

"Didn't you see that in the newspaper?"

"The Oirat tribes in the Western Region have been torn apart since they also died first. The tribes even competed with each other to kill and plunder. The most powerful tribes only have tens of thousands of horses."

"Although it is winter, it is not conducive to marching and fighting, but my Ming Dynasty has trained [-] cavalry on the northern grasslands, and has already adapted to fighting in cold weather."

"In Gansu, Shaanxi, and Ningxia, we have heavy troops stationed in the Ming Dynasty. All the large armies are new troops. They don't need to produce and focus on training. Among them are winter combat training. Although winter combat is a test, it is not impossible. .”

"As for the logistical support, there is no need to worry. The cement road leading to Shaanxi has been repaired, and the four-wheeled carriage can go directly to Shaanxi. In addition, in the Gansu area, the imperial court has already laid out a layout and hoarded a large amount of food and grass, which is enough to guarantee the needs of the army. "

Immediately, someone replied with certainty and confidence.

Are you kidding me?
Will my Ming Dynasty win?
Didn't you see that in the past few years, I have been invincible and invincible in the past few years?
Starting from the little Tatar prince, the Japanese people in the east, the Nanyang countries in the south, and the Jurchen tribes in Liaodong, my Ming Dynasty swept all directions, how can I not win the small Western Region?
"That's right, my Ming Dynasty is invincible in all battles and attacking everything, what is the mere Western Region?"

"If you win, you can definitely win, there is no doubt about it."

"The key now is how long to fight, how many people will be lost, and where the court plans to fight."

"The Western Regions produce cotton and wool. After conquering the Western Regions, how the imperial court plans to rule and manage the Western Regions is the key, whether to follow the previous model, or to build plantations like the Nanyang region."

Some people thought about it and then followed suit, mentioning the cotton and wool that everyone cares about the most.

Do you really think that it was just because Turpan soldiers invaded Gansu?

With the strong troops stationed by Ming Dynasty in Gansu, plus the powerful city walls built with cement in the past two years, Turpan will have ten times more troops, and it will never be able to do anything to Jiayuguan in Gansu.

This is just an excuse, an excuse to use troops against the Western Regions.

Following the report of the Ming Morning Post, the entire Beijing and Tianjin regions were discussing the use of troops by the Ming Dynasty against the Western Regions, and the distraught owner and shareholders of the textile factory finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The imperial court finally used troops against the Western Regions. It won't take long before the cotton and wool from the Western Regions will be brought back in a steady stream. The prices of cotton and wool will slowly fall, and their factories can continue to work.

Many commercial houses saw business opportunities and began to prepare to organize huge caravans to go to the Western Regions. After the imperial court conquered the Western Regions, they could also immediately enter this area to do business.

Even some trading firms that specialize in slave trading are hastily preparing to follow the army into the Western Regions. When the army fights in front, they will collect slaves in the back, and even prepare to rob slaves directly.

The whole Daming started to get excited.

On the northern grassland, Emperor Hongzhi's imperial decree was soon spread here, and Polu Hou Yang Yun, who had been waiting for a long time, began to march to the Western Regions with [-] cavalry.

The [-] iron cavalry who have been trained for a long time are like a pack of howling wolves. They have been waiting for this day for two years.

The Royal Navy of Ming Dynasty had a big meal this year, sweeping all countries in Southeast Asia.

Not to mention the killing of the enemy, the income from the captured slaves also belongs to them. In addition, they can also be rewarded in proportion to the capture on the battlefield, just like going to sea to run a boat.

During the more than half a year of fighting in Nanyang, all the soldiers who fought in the battle had a good harvest.

Even the cooks who cook in the military camp were allocated hundreds of taels of silver each. In addition, they also got a piece of land of their own in Nanyang.

As for those soldiers who did meritorious deeds, they received even more rewards. There were even some people who were just mud legs. Because of their great contributions, they were not only rewarded with silver, land in Nanyang, but even a few slaves.

All of this has already spread among the army, which makes them who have been training on the grassland feel very hot in their hearts.

Because the compulsory military service system is implemented, once the service time is over, you will be retired. If you don't want to retire, you must perform well enough to be able to stay in the barracks.

And all of this is based on military exploits.

Their value cannot be reflected without fighting. Only when fighting can their value be reflected and what they have always wanted can be realized.

Silver, land, military merit, and even titles, whether they can retire in a glorious manner and return to their hometown, whether they can get a good position after retiring, or whether they can continue to stay in the military camp, all depends on the recipient. performance down.

Fifty thousand iron cavalry and more than one hundred thousand war horses marched from east to west towards the Western Regions in the cold winter. The heat in their hearts had already dispelled the cold.

Every time they saw the Poluhou Yang Yun who was rushing to the front, their blood boiled even more.

Yang Yun's deeds have already spread in the army, and he has become the best example for everyone.

On a pasture of Tianjin Daming Royal Military Academy.

Many officers stood straight and straight, their military uniforms were neatly worn, their heads were uniformly cut, and their eyes were firm and fiery.

"The opportunity to make contributions and seal wolves into Xuxu has come."

"You are all the honorable children of my great Ming Dynasty. Your ancestors once followed my great Ming emperors to fight in all directions."

"Today is finally the time for you to prove yourself."

"To be loyal to His Majesty, I will fight in Ming Dynasty!"

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Along with the roar on the podium, each officer also shouted loudly.

"Long live Your Majesty!"

Everyone shouted in unison.

Soon, many officers began to march in a uniform and orderly pace, carrying their own backpacks, riding their horses, and marching towards the west.

Here is a military camp in Taiyuan, Shanxi.

On the huge playground, tens of thousands of troops stood neatly, with felt hats on their heads, thick cotton-padded clothes on their bodies, armor outside the cotton-padded clothes, snow boots on their feet, warm gloves on their hands, With a musket and a sword at his waist.

A man of strong build, tall, ruddy complexion, full of energy.

They are holding a swearing-in meeting and are about to go to the Western Regions to participate in the great war against the Western Regions.

"Long live Daming, long live Your Majesty~"

Accompanied by tens of thousands of soldiers roaring in unison, soon, tens of thousands of troops marched towards the west with neat steps like a rolling river.

The Daming Royal Military Academy trains officers. Ordinary soldiers from good families are conscripts. Ordinary soldiers, of course, if they perform well, they also have the opportunity to go to the Daming Royal Military Academy for further studies. After completing the training, they can become officers. If you want to become a senior military officer, you must go through the training and education of the Daming Royal Military Academy.

This is the new military system of Ming Dynasty!
For these ordinary soldiers, they may not be eager to be promoted, but they are definitely eager to make a fortune, because in this regard, everyone has equal opportunities.

The more enemies killed, the more rewards. Silver, land, and slaves are not a problem. Now they have formed clear regulations. This is also an important reason for the strong military power of the Ming Dynasty. It is somewhat similar to the military system of the Qin Dynasty, but it has a lot of big difference.

……

In Beijing, the newly established Daming Medical College is here.

Wu Yuntu, Zhang Zhigang, and Li Anyuan looked at the more than [-] students gathered, and they were extremely nervous.

When the army goes out, there will inevitably be casualties, and naturally these doctors are indispensable.

Liu Jin has also issued an order. Daming Medical College will take advantage of this opportunity to send some people to the Western Regions with the army. On the one hand, it is to treat the injured officers, and on the other hand, it is also possible to study medical skills. Especially surgery.

Daming Medical College has not been established for a long time, and there are only more than [-] students recruited. Although most of them are apprentices who have studied in various local medical centers, many of them are pure newcomers.

Taking such a team to the Western Regions with the army, to be honest, the three of them were actually in a panic.

　Hmm, hit the Western Regions~
