Qiming 1158

Chapter 762 The Lord is Back
After eating mutton and getting a preliminary understanding of the alternative wealth on the grassland, Xin Qiji praised the mutton of Wang Gubu and their loyalty to the emperor.

Then there is the exploration of the specific conditions of the grassland.

For example, the grievances and grievances of various tribes on the grasslands, Xin Qiji is very interested in this.

Wu Ge didn't think much about it. He felt that the more Xin Qiji knew, the better it would be for him. He could win more sympathy points for him, and it was not necessarily that he could get more benefits from the Ming Dynasty in the future.

So he said it.

Say basically everything you know.

For example, the grievances and grievances between the Kelie Department and the Qiyan Department.

For example, the grievances and grievances between the Kled Department, the Qiyan Department and the Tatar Department.

For example, the Tatar Ministry used the power of the Jin Kingdom to dominate the domineering past of the eastern grasslands.

For example, the grievances and grievances between the Beggar Department and the Miner Beggar Department.

Then they talked about Wang Gubu and their grievances.

"My department and the Kelie department and the Qiyan department are very different in appearance and living customs, so it is difficult to talk about going together. They rejected us, and we did not welcome them. In the end, they came here and were accepted by the emperor of the Central Plains. Voluntarily guard the border for the emperor of the Central Plains."

Wu Ge said a lot, and finally finished what he wanted to say, which also gave Xin Qiji a preliminary understanding of the grievances and grievances between the various tribes in the grasslands.

I have to say that although the Jin Guo people have no military achievements in the grasslands, they are quite skilled at making shit sticks. The many contradictions that the tribes on the grassland originally had were "carried forward" under the stirring of the Jin Guo people.

Every tribe is a little bit contradictory to other tribes, big or small, and there are no two tribes that are completely free of contradictions.

sure.

After returning to Jingzhou, Xin Qiji worked hard, wrote down everything he learned, did some sorting, and then asked someone to bring it back to Zhongdu and hand it over to Su Yonglin.

This is very precious information, which will help Su Yonglin understand the relationship between the grassland tribes, and then find a way to target them, use them, and control them.

He believed that Su Yonglin had this ability.

At the end of September, Su Yong also arrived in Jingzhou with 4 main cavalry, which was included in the formation of the Northern Expedition Army, so the [-] Ming cavalry and sufficient supplies were all in place and distributed to the soldiers for the final battle examine.

Jerky, cheese, pancakes and other food, steel knives, crossbows, arrows and other weapons, as well as a series of military logistics materials, have all been counted.

Although this battle focuses on the grassland mode, some necessary logistics materials still need to be transported by the logistics troops.

So this station still used 2 auxiliary soldiers to participate in logistics transportation, but did not use civilian labor, and it did save a lot of money for the Ming Dynasty.

On the fifth day of October, Emperor Su Yonglin's order to start the war was sent to Jingzhou, and Han Jinggui took the order to hold an oath meeting in Jingzhou, and then sent troops immediately.

The mighty Ming cavalry brigade officially set off on the Northern Expedition.

The goal of the first stage is to arrive at the station of Wang Gu, meet the [-] cavalry of Wang Gu, arrange their own guides, and then the real encounter and battle.

The main force of the Ming army arrived at the Wanggubu station on the morning of the eighth day of October, where they were warmly welcomed by Wuge and Wanggubu herdsmen.

Looking at the mighty and majestic Ming army cavalry, they took out meat, dairy products and kumiss to entertain the Ming army soldiers, let the Ming army soldiers have a good protein meal, and took out the big pancakes they carried with them to satisfy their hunger. , fully supplemented with protein and carbohydrates, and accumulated enough energy.

After the banquet, Han Jinggui, Xin Qiji, Zhang Qiaonian and other main leaders of the army held a military meeting with Wu Ge, and incorporated Wu Ge's cavalry into the main army of Daming, and ordered them to obey the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition Army of Daming. command of the ministry.

The ultimate significance of Wuge for this battle is not in the five thousand ancient cavalry, but in the fact that he contributed an important guide and the location of the main herdsmen of the Kelie and Qiyan tribes.

With a guide and a clear orientation, it is convenient for the Ming army to smash into their old nest, without giving them any chance to breathe, and they will not miss the opportunity because they get lost and can't find the enemy.

The plan of the whole war is that the Qiyan Department will be handed over to the Tatars to deal with, and the Ming army will mainly attack the more powerful Kelie Department.

Because of the existence of Wu Ge, the Ming army also knew the fundamentals of the Kelie Department, knew where their settlements were, how many people they had, how strong they were fighting, and so on.

Xin Qiji believes that migrating herdsmen to a safer place in a short period of time is still relatively difficult for the grassland tribes. Although they are nomadic tribes, the migration also takes a long time to plan, not just to leave. go.

Therefore, as long as they attack their settlements, they will definitely encounter their main cavalry. Even if they want to escape, it will take time. As long as the Ming army moves fast enough, they will not have enough time to escape.

Then there is an inevitable decisive battle. After a decisive battle, it is basically possible to decide whether the Kled Division will continue to exist or disappear.

Xin Qiji's guesses are generally not wrong, and if he wants to say something, there is indeed--

Kelie and Qiyan had no plans to escape at all, they had no option to escape.

They are going to be positive.

Because in their opinion, the grasslands are their home ground. If they don't take the initiative to go south to the Central Plains, the people of the Central Plains should be thankful. How can they still have the courage and strength to directly attack their nest?
These tribes on the grasslands can form this kind of cognition, and it is true that they cannot be blamed.

Because the people of the Jin Kingdom, who were the rulers of the Central Plains before, did not perform very well in the grassland war, and there were no results in many crusades, and both Sugai and Tuoli had led their tribesmen to loot the south many times, and the people of the Jin Kingdom were also tired. Handle.

It is not that the people of the Jin country have not launched a large-scale war against the grasslands, but they have not achieved much results. Apart from demonstrating the power of a great country, they have not achieved much.

Therefore, people on the grasslands generally have a view that the Central Plains Dynasty is very large and relatively strong, but it has not completely eliminated their ability to conquer them.

The speed is too slow, there is no strong enough cavalry to compete with the grassland cavalry, and often large-scale crusades have no corresponding results.

Compared with military confrontation, the Central Plains Dynasty preferred economic restraint.

Therefore, the prairie people who advocated bloody fights to decide the outcome of the game more or less did not look down on Jin Guo.

As for the difference between Han and Jurchen, they don't care and don't know much, because they haven't dealt directly with the Han regime for a long time.

The last time was in the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of years had passed.

Time has passed so long that they have forgotten that some powerful empires once pressed them to the ground and rubbed them, making their ancestors cry and call Dad.

How to do it?

The princes of Jagged Song and Wanyan's family are so incompetent that Su Yonglin has to use a war of his own to tell the tribes on the grassland that the lord is back.

The fear, once rooted in their DNA, that made them sing unforgettable songs, is back.

And the Kelie Department and Qiyan Department, who knew nothing about it, even thought they were very polite.

It was precisely because the Ming Empire quickly wiped out the Jin Kingdom that they judged that the Ming Kingdom was stronger than the Jin Kingdom, so they were afraid and did not dare to rush south for two years.

However, they are in great need of the materials produced in the Central Plains. They need silk, iron pots, tea leaves, and various high-end luxury products to satisfy their desires.

However, they were afraid of the Ming Kingdom, worried that the Ming Kingdom was very strong, and it might not be appropriate to directly attack the Ming Kingdom.

Therefore, they did not directly invade the border of the Ming Kingdom when they lacked materials to a certain extent, but chose to attack the Wang Gu Department after hearing the news that the emperor had conferred the canonization of the Wang Gu Department.

While plundering materials like this, it can also test the attitude of the empire towards them.

If the attitude of the Ming Empire is the same as that of the Jin Kingdom, they can rest assured and boldly go south to loot and start a happy life.

This shows that the Empire is nothing special, just like the Jin Kingdom.

If the Ming Empire chooses military countermeasures - then fight, what else can we do?
Just to try the jinliang of the Ming Empire to see how strong they are able to eliminate the Jin Kingdom, so as to determine the attitude and method of dealing with the Central Plains.
