Chapter 1326 Soldiers Over Altai

When the Central Dynasty generally started to be chaotic, it basically started from these mountains. Once the chaos started, the frontiers would be restless.

Yinshan, Langshan, Daqingshan and Yanshan are places that Zeng Yunfeng must control. Once these places are lost, the most superior geographical advantages of the Central Plains Dynasty will be lost.

At that time, it will be basically impossible for the grassland people to invade the pass, and they will basically be unable to defend. They can enter the Central Plains no matter from Datong, Zhangjiakou or from the upper reaches of Hetao.

The seemingly advantageous defensive terrain of the Central Plains is actually riddled with holes, which is also an important reason why the Great Wall was built in the past dynasties.

However, after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, they practiced dual rule. On the one hand, they called Khan in the nomadic areas of the grassland, and controlled the grassland tribes in the way of nomads.

On the other hand, farming was carried out in the Central Plains and the control over farming areas was strengthened. Therefore, after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, there were actually two capitals. One was in Dadu, and the other was in Chengde, which was used to control the grasslands.

In the vicinity of Chengde, the Qing Dynasty established a Mulan paddock, which was often used to declare its prestige to the grassland tribes, telling the Central Plains Dynasty that the grasslands still ruled here, and most of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong had been there.

Western Regions, Altai Mountains, a long black dragon from far to near.

"Boss, why did we work so hard to cross the Altai Mountains?" A muscular young man asked on a horse, and behind him was a continuous army.

Yan Wu glanced at his brother and said, "Mr. Qin asked for it!"

"Mr. Qin? Didn't Mr. Qin leave the Western Regions?"

"But the queen asked us to come, presumably because we received a summons from Mr. Qin."

"Brother, who do you think Mr. Qin is?"

The boss Yan Wu smiled mysteriously, "You haven't figured it out yet?"

"Mr. Qin is Mr. Qin!"

"No, I don't think so. I always feel that Mr. Qin is mysterious. He came to the Western Regions and told us that he is Mr. Qin, but I always feel that he is not."

"You finally figured it out." The boss looked at the fourth brother Guo Luofeng and said.

"The so-called Mr. Qin is Ying Wugou."

"Ying Wugou! Isn't that the King Wu of the Central Plains!"

"I didn't see it, do you know a lot? Yes, Mr. Qin is the king of Wu. We were too weak at the beginning. In order not to leak the news and cause the surrounding forces to besiege us, Mr. Qin never said it to the outside world."

"Most of the recent news has been breached, so there is no need to hide it!"

After the boss said the words that most of them have been breached, the fourth brother opened his mouth wide.

"That doesn't mean that Mr. Qin wants to dominate the Central Plains! He's going to dominate the country!"

"That's right, that's exactly the case. Her Majesty asked us to cross the Altai Mountains to attack the Great Lakes Basin and contain the grassland tribes here."

"Is this going to march into Mobei?" Guo Luofeng, the fourth son, was a little excited.

"Of course, when we unified the Western Regions, the prairie people in the Great Lakes Basin have been harassing them all the time. When we captured the river, they were restless. They just found this excuse to annex the Great Lakes Basin."

In fact, Zeng Yunfeng's direct attack on the Great Lakes Basin is actually not very effective, and it is not suitable for large-scale farming, because it is a large area of ​​valley grassland, and it is far away from the Central Plains. Due to geographical reasons, it is difficult to control it, and some are beyond reach.

The Great Lakes Basin is located between the Altai Mountains and the Hangai Mountains, also known as the Yanran Mountains. To the north is the Tangnu Wuliang Mountains, and the Great Lakes Basin is sandwiched between the three mountains.

Most of the lakes here are saltwater lakes, and the Junggar Basin in the Western Regions is to the west after crossing the Altai Mountains, and this is the area ruled by Queen Ziyuan.

Queen Ziyuan ruled the Western Regions and captured the land of the Seven Rivers and some areas in the river.

Daikis, Queen of Ziyuan, now has a vast territory, but within her territory, most of them are deserts with very few grasslands. Daikis actually has some ambitions for the Great Lakes Basin east of the Altai Mountains.

Although there is no contiguous prairie here, there are a large number of scattered mountain grasslands and mountain valley grasslands. These grasslands are all in the upper valleys, and they are all good places to raise horses.

Although there is no way to raise horses in a large area like HLBE, it is still a very good horse ranch to divide the pasture into several seasons for nomadic herding.

At the same time occupying here can threaten Mobei Mongol Wang Tinghala and Lin, and retreating can maintain the rule of the Western Regions and resist the invasion of grassland tribes. Controlling here is very beneficial.

Otherwise, the Western Regions will always face the threat of the Mongols. A large reason why the Western Regions often become the sphere of influence of the grassland people is that the Great Lakes Basin is often controlled by the grassland people.

The power of the grassland people can easily affect the Western Regions. If the Central Dynasty cannot control the Western Regions, these grassland peoples will cross the Altai Mountains and go straight to the Western Regions.

This is also the main reason why after the Liao Kingdom was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, the Xiliao regime could still be established in the Western Regions.

The purpose of Zeng Yunfeng's letter to Dai Qisi, Queen of Ziyuan, is to let her and the rebel army of the Central Plains Dynasty attack the Mongolian steppe people together.

The Western Regions sent troops from the west across the Altai Mountains to attack the Great Lakes Basin, and took this valley and river land rich in water and grass into their pockets. They used it to herd sheep and horses, and at the same time, they could threaten the royal court of the Mongols.

Even if the Mongols built their royal court in Harahelin, they had to face attacks from both sides.

On the other side, Zeng Yunfeng will go north out of Yanshan Mountain, cross the XLGL Grassland and HLBE Grassland, and attack Langjuxu Mountain along the Onan River, further compressing Mongolia's strategic space and cutting off the connection between Mongolian Grassland and the Northeast Plain.

Divide the power of the grassland into two from the east of Daxing'an Mountains, and at the same time control the Mongols in a small area with the Langjuxu Mountain as the boundary, forcing the Mongols to migrate north.

In Zeng Yunfeng's thinking, it is impossible to solve the grassland people once and for all, but it may be a good idea to drive these grassland peoples to the east of the Great Caucasus Mountains like the Han Dynasty.

There is also the Golden Horde established by the Mongols. I believe they will accept these Mongols. The current military strength of the Golden Horde is far worse than that of the Yuan Dynasty, but it is the sphere of influence of the Mongols.

It can also further reduce the threat of grassland tribes to the Central Plains.

In Zeng Yunfeng's perception, beggar-thy-neighbor is not a disgraceful thing, on the contrary, it is a good thing for Zhongyuan.

It is precisely because of the passages formed by the many valleys in the middle of the Altai Mountains that there are passages between the Great Lakes Basin and the Western Regions, and this passage is an important channel for the grasslands to attack the Western Regions.

But today this important channel has become the channel through which Dai Qisi, Queen of Ziyuan, attacks the Great Lakes Basin in turn.
