Chapter 1325 Must-Control Location

The mountain next to it?
Zeng Yunfeng took a look, and the spider was pointing at another mountain next to it. These two mountains formed an inverted figure-eight in the north direction on the map. Ran Mountain, and the other side says Buerhan Mountain, but Zeng Yunfeng knew that it was Langjuxu Mountain.

This place is the place where Huo Qubing, the hussar general of the Han Dynasty, was attacked, that is, the place where the wolf lived in Xuxu.

The moment he saw the map, Zeng Yunfeng recalled the time when he and Zhu Di traveled north along the grasslands of Daxing'an Mountains to watch the sunset by the Onan River.

At that time, Langjuxu Mountain was right in front of their eyes, but Zhu Di just stopped here and could no longer take a step forward, and died of illness on the way back to the army. The Northern Expedition came to an abrupt end, and in the end he failed to truly conquer Oala. .

Wuzheng Mongolia is actually a bone snake tail, and finally nothing happened.

After Zhu Di, the entire war situation became a strategic stalemate. Emperor Xuande Zhu Zhanji was unable to go deep into the grassland and only maintained the tranquility of the border.

As for Zhu Zhanji's son, Zhu Qizhen, as soon as Zhu Qizhen was mentioned, Zeng Yunfeng became angry. This prodigal son ruined the elite of the Ming Dynasty and almost perished the country.

Similarly, the form of war between the Ming Dynasty and the grassland tribes had an offensive and defensive deflection here. Since then, the border has been restless, and until the end of the Ming Dynasty, the border troubles have never been cut off.

This is why Zeng Yunfeng is so worried. The Mongols seem to have lost their dynasty, but in fact the grassland still has great power.

Zeng Yunfeng turned his attention to three relatively large areas on the grassland divided by two mountains. Yanran Mountain Langjuxu Mountain divided Mobei into three major areas, and beside these three areas were two mountain ranges. The two mountain ranges are Daxing'an Mountains and Altai Mountains.

These four mountain ranges are sandwiched between three prairie and basins to form today's Mobei.

And this Mobei is the place where the prairie people recuperate, and there are two deserts between the Mobei land and the Central Plains, which just blocked the attack route of the Central Plains Dynasty. These two deserts are just north of the Hetao land. and Northwest.

Back then, Zhu Di's five expeditions to Mongolia all went to the pastures at the foot of the Daxing'an Mountains after leaving Yanshan Mountain.

There are two large grasslands formed by abundant aquatic plants at the western foot of Daxinganling Mountains. From south to north, they are the current XLGL grassland and HLBE grassland.

The reason why it is not possible to go out from the Gobi desert in the middle of the entire map is because the Gobi is only convenient for those grassland tribes to go out, and it is not convenient for an army with a large number of infantry like the farming peoples in the Central Plains to go out.

There are not only sandstorms in this desert, but also a lack of water resources. It is difficult to find water sources if the locals are not guides. If there is a water source problem, the entire army may be wiped out.

So these two desert terrains directly lead to a natural barrier between Mobei and Monan, but this barrier is not a huge obstacle for the grassland tribes, but for the farming people, these two huge barriers The desert is a huge obstacle.

Therefore, even though Zhu Di fought to the bank of the Onan River back then, and had already hit the side of Hulanhu's hypothermia, he still couldn't drive out the Oirat allied forces, and the Oirats even came back to life in the end. The reason was that the supply line was too long. The enemy's brutal strategy.

Zeng Yunfeng turned his attention to the last place, which is the Great Lakes Basin between the Altai Mountains and the Yanran Mountains. There is only one direction for the mountain range to exit, but this exit is just facing the desert. This Great Lakes Basin is completely a natural good place to recuperate and lick the wound.

In the Han Dynasty, the Great Lakes Basin was the place where the Xiongnu Shanyu enfeoffed to King Youxian.

And if you want to take down the Great Lakes Basin here, you must take down the Jungar Basin, otherwise if you want to attack Mobei from the Central Plains, the strategic supply line alone will drag Zeng Yunfeng to death.

This is also one of the reasons why Zeng Yunfeng wants to control the Western Regions. The road from the Central Plains is inconvenient, and the supply line goes around a big circle, but it is said that it is necessary to cover half of the current NMG map and add half of the Mongolian map. The supply line is so long. .

However, from the Zhungeer Basin in the Western Regions, they can cross the Altai Mountains and go straight to the Great Lakes Basin, and the army that cooperates with Yanshan can form a two-sided attack.

At that time, it will be possible to truly rule this grassland, leaving the grassland people with nowhere to go.

Of course, if the Mongols really made up their minds to go north, Zeng Yunfeng decided to let them go. At that time, it will depend on whether God can let them live. beat.

In those places, it has basically surpassed the temperate zone, and the annual precipitation is also very low. It is basically impossible to form a large-scale nomadic herd. Even some places have already involved in the Arctic Circle. The weather is extremely cold, and the places entering the Arctic Circle are even more There are polar days and polar nights, and most people go there to live, purely looking for death.

In this era, forests, mountains, rivers, and oceans are not as beautiful as the people of later generations think.

Whether it's forests, rivers, or mountains, most areas are still barren lands for human beings, and even unexplored places.

There are many leeches and mosquitoes in the southern rainforest, and wild animals are rampant in the mountains. The reason why Li Bai is on the road to Shu is that he has not experienced such pain himself.

It's just that because the Song Dynasty moved south, the Jiangnan area was developed, so this Jiangnan area is slowly suitable for people to live in. But in this era, those places going north are basically undeveloped areas, and they want to open up a piece of land there. Come, it will cost a lot.

A large part of the reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was that the border security was not resolved.

The demise of many Central Plains dynasties has a great relationship with the tranquility of the border. The combination of external and internal factors is very likely to paralyze the entire country.

The Great Wall needs to be repaired, especially at this moment. Even if it can resist the invasion of the grassland people for a certain period of time, it cannot resist every point because the border front is too long.

Zeng Yunfeng looked towards the map, and his eyes fell on several points.

The first is the Hexi Corridor, and the second is the Helan Mountains, Langshan Mountains, Yinshan Mountains and Yanshan Mountains next to the Hetao Plain.

The Yellow River is full of harm, but only the rich Hetao. Several small plains are formed around the Yellow River from Helan Mountain, Langshan Mountain, Yinshan Mountain, and Daqing Mountain. These plains have become pastures for grassland people to raise horses.

Once it is controlled by the grassland people, the consequences will be very bad. Once the grassland people control this place, it will be a huge threat to the Central Plains dynasty.

When Xixia controlled Helan Mountain, the Xixia regime was established there, and a little east of the Yinshan area is today's Datong and Zhangjiakou.

There are also two small plains in the north of Datong and Zhangjiakou, which are also suitable for grazing, which poses a huge threat to the entire Central Plains.

Similarly, the upper reaches of the Yellow River is the Hexi Corridor. Controlling this area means choking the passage and throat between the Western Regions and the Central Plains. This area is too important and too difficult.

There are several Hetao Plains and several isolated places, and it is difficult to connect with the Gobi desert or the desert in the middle. This also makes it difficult for the Central Plains people to control this area for a long time.
