open sea

Chapter 1067
Buta Shili will always remember, Da Mingzi's wanton laughter.

This kind of laughter would make him wonder, what would happen if the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty encountered the chariot camp of the Ming Dynasty in the "unnamed place" that the emperor said?

In his eyes, there is no difference between the Khalkha tribe occupying the three guards of Wuliangha and the Jin Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.

It was a very cruel thing for any child of the little prince's age to think of such a question.

Because it will bring fear rooted in the soul.

But in fact, even Altan Khan himself didn’t know that the Jin Kingdom he established, which dominated outside the Great Wall, had a chance to reproduce the glory of Genghis Khan... But now, the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty and the Sanwei of Wuliangha are not much different , even if there is, the difference is only that the Great Ming and Jin Kingdom can make their own armor.

During the time when Zhao Quan and other lords of Bansheng existed, Jin Guo was able to do more than just make his own armor.

Indeed, if training and supplies are neglected, there are indeed the best warriors on the grasslands. Every herdsman can ride a horse and take a bow and arrow to become a fierce bandit or a swarming army when needed.

But that's it.

The nomads living on the grasslands are so fierce and fierce, they are willing to hand over the most fertile land in the world to the weak Han people, and hide themselves in the desert, Gobi, and grasslands where there is no food, and hone their skills in the ice and snow?
The nomads plunder year after year, turning everything their iron hoofs pass into scorched earth; but a herdsman usually has five or six children who grow up, and each of these five or six children will have five or six children when they grow up. As an adult, why are there so few people on the grassland after hundreds of years of reproduction?
Those who disappeared, where did they go?

Compared with other tribes, the Kingdom of Jin in my answer is stronger because of the settlement of Bansheng.

A tribe with thousands of cattle, sheep, and horses needs at least 180 miles of grazing land to feed the horses. In theory, if the tribe consists of eight families, everyone can live an extremely good life; in practice In fact, if there are only eight families in this tribe, they will be killed by other tribes, so at least dozens of families are needed to properly protect their property. Then only three or four of these dozens of families will live well, and the others will only live well. able to maintain a very low standard of living.

Bansheng is different. Settlement allows the people to have more division of labor. Some are farmers, some are workers, some are in business, some are directors, and some are soldiers. People do not need to switch back and forth between herdsmen and soldiers. Production is non-stop and skilled. .

In many cases, it is not people who choose the way of life, but some way of life chooses people, such as Wuliangha Sanwei.

Because it is located in the north, when Mongolia used to belong to Ming Dynasty, whenever Mongolia went south to fight against Ming Dynasty, the three guards of Wuliangha would attack the tribes from behind, so that everyone hated them.

Now that the Khalkha tribe occupies the three guards of Wuliangha, the result is actually the same. They will also pick up fruits from behind when others are fighting.

But Bansheng, north of the Great Wall, exists precisely against this common sense.

The combination of tribes and Bansheng has shaped the powerful Alta Jin Kingdom.

But what Emperor Wanli wanted was a tribe.

"Chaohua was frightened and led the army to run away, but one of his subordinates named Hatu'er Qianchang was in General Qi's camp at this time. The former army sent back a message asking how to deal with it. I don't think it will be long before the people from the Ministry of War will also enter the palace."

Emperor Wanli was gearing up, picked up a figurine of the Ming army and slowly pushed it forward on the map until it reached the three guards of Wuliangha. It is necessary to copy the Meridian Gate and announce it to the world."

King Lu is ignorant, so in short, if Brother Huang said don't talk, don't talk.

Buta Shili, the little prince, was still immersed in the horror of the perverted smile before, and leaned towards King Lu calmly... No matter how you look at it, King Lu who loves to play with snot is cuter than the emperor who loves to play with soldiers too much.

The emperor's brother is too dangerous.

No way, in Wanli's eyes, after this battle, Wuliangha Sanwei is already in Daming's pocket.

Dai Cai, Minister of the Ministry of War, who was transferred from Nanjing before the war, and Wang Chonggu, who was invited out of the mountain again, also thought so.

Dai Cai is Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and has the duty of counselor for maintenance. Wang Chonggu was impeached and resigned from office a few years ago because he told the imperial court the benefits of going west to Qinghai. It's just for the emperor to ask about politics.

"This battle is the luck of the heavenly army. If the three guards are deterred, the troops will advance unimpeded."

After all, being impeached and dismissed as an official is not glorious enough. Even if he was called to the court, Wang Chonggu didn't talk much, and he listened to Dai Cai, Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing.

After fighting a big victory without loss, the Minister of the Ministry of War seemed to have smeared honey on his mouth, but he boasted about Qi Jiguang, but then he cried bitterly: "Qi Shuai reported earlier that we need to send guards to attack the land. Patrolling and suppressing bullets should not be easily put into the hands of others. Recently, the imperial court has dispatched thousands of soldiers from the various guards in Shuntian to leave Qingshan Pass, and the task of logistics and planning is becoming more and more serious every day.”

The troops on the front line, not counting Li Chengliang who was supporting Liaodong to the north, had nearly [-] troops in the direction of Qi Jiguang alone. The troops were eating horses, which put a lot of pressure on the rear. Almost the entire Shuntian guards and the Beijing army were facing Delivering goods at the mouth of the Great Wall.

This was different from what the emperor had imagined, and he asked with an inquiring expression: "Dai Weng is saying that the imperial court's luggage is not prepared enough?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, it's not that I'm not prepared enough, it's just that I'm exhausted."

Excessive consumption?
It was like a basin of cold water was poured on the emperor's head. He put his hands on his stomach and asked, "What about the fried cattle and sheep? Where are the horses?"

Dai Cai was also very helpless. The preparations for the Northern Expedition had just reached the stage of discussion. The emperor and Zhang Juzheng joined forces to fight this battle. Everything was going well, but the war machine suddenly started to move. The 10,000+ Beijing army moved back and forth. Qi Jiguang The troops again rushed forward beyond all expectations.

The imperial court has indeed prepared, but what they are preparing for is the battle of attrition like the customs clearance in the past, not the battle for the purpose of occupation like the current battle... The consumption is not the same.

"Qi Shuai did seize a lot of cattle, sheep and horses, but except for a few supplementary sergeants, most of them were transported to the pass."

Ship to the customs?

The emperor didn't know how cautious Qi Jiguang was. He didn't even move the cattle and sheep of the tribes he surrendered, and the captured war profits were almost shipped back intact.

Who doesn't know that eating the food and grass transported by the imperial court to the outside of the pass consumes a lot, but the consumption is a matter of the imperial court, not to mention eating the war profit, even if he sends an official document to the imperial court to eat the war profit, it will become his own business.

For Qi Jiguang, his soldiers can enjoy the profits of war, but it is not necessary. They can wait and send their things back first.

It was as if he didn't have to kneel down when he saw Shoufu, but he could bend his legs first and then be helped up.

He was waiting for someone from the court to speak for him. He thought that person would be Zhang Juzheng, but he did not expect that there was a person in the court who had the determination to push forward this war.

The emperor decided that this matter would not go through the procedure, "What are you transporting to the pass? I reward you!"

"Let Qi Shuai eat it on the spot, if you can't eat it, take it to Sanwei to eat slowly, if you can't finish it, go to the west to find the local barbarians and eat it... If it is not enough, send more seaborne food to the Nanyang Army Mansion, I don’t even send the Beiyang Army to Dadongyang, so can I begrudge this little consumption?”

"Fighting this battle, I didn't intend to make any money. I don't want any cattle, sheep, war horses, or belonging to the tribe. I just want to take back the land that my ancestors lost. I hold it tightly in my hand and never let go."

"Old man, tell me the truth..." The emperor sitting on the deck of the Wanli ship folded his arms on his chest and asked slowly with his usual inquiring expression: "Is there anyone in the court who wants to violate the law of the ancestors? You don’t even want the land of your ancestors anymore?”

　Good morning!
