The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 715

Hanzi, Yang Danian, etc. will have to continue to investigate the four Mongolian tribes of Shuote, Junggar, Durbert, and Turhut Oirat, paying special attention to the actual control area of ​​the Ordos tribe, which is only more than [-] miles away from Biantouguan.

Since the Ordos Department has more than [-] households, it is very powerful in Monan Mongolia and is the king in the Hetao area.

Then the "Red Banner Army" concentrated on using the sixth battalion of cavalry to bring about [-] cavalry from the Ming army who had been retrained for nearly a year to launch an offensive to sweep the Hetao area after autumn, severely inflicting heavy damage on Elinchen's troops and driving him north.

Huang Han gave Hanzi and Yang Danian a few analyzes on the situation of Monan Mongolia collected by Qiwei and the consistent style of Elinchen and Taiji, and said with a smile:

"The Hetao area is lush with water and grass, cattle and sheep are everywhere, but the leader is a complete wimp.

Remember, you must be very scheming when dealing with alien races, and if you find a shrewd and capable leader of the alien race, you must attack them fiercely and try to kill them all.

There is no need to kill a leader like Er Linchen, he can be left alive.

Launching an attack in autumn is when the cattle and sheep are fat. How much beef and mutton will be divided into the welfare of the soldiers and civilians next year will depend on how well you fight the battle. "

The "Red Banner Army" guarding the soil, under the condition that there are strong passes and strong cities to rely on, it is enough to leave half of the infantry and half of the guard army, and there are [-] Ming army infantry that can be called.

Hanzi concentratedly used the "Red Banner Army" and the cavalry of the Ming Army to reach [-].

Then form a [-] infantry coordinated army with [-]% of the Red Banner Army's main soldiers and [-]% of the Guards' Army. How can they resist with the fighting power of the Tartars? It is their fate to flee.

Even if there are really 1 households in Erlinchen Taiji, it is impossible to gather these [-] households in a short period of time. If he can mobilize half of them, he is considered to have outstanding ability. Based on the calculation of one household at least one Ding, [-] households can dispatch [-] to [-] households. Eight thousand string controllers.

The combat effectiveness of the Tartars is not worth mentioning now. The cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" and the cavalry of the Ming Army have advantages in firepower, equipment, and numbers, and it is easy to win a big victory.

Hanzi said confidently: "How many people did the Jian slaves come in the year before last? Ten to twenty thousand! At that time, there was Lin Danhan, the co-lord of the Tartars, and the Monan Tartars surrendered and fled after being beaten by Jian Nu. You must know that Jiannu ran for more than three thousand miles at that time.

The number of our army dispatched is more than double that of Jiannu, and the battlefield for the attack is only three hundred miles away from Piantouguan. If we don't knock down the Elinchen army, we will be sorry for the big banner of the 'Red Banner Army'. "

The small number of people in Wanhu in Ordos will definitely not be able to withstand the sharp attack of the [-] troops organized by the "Red Banner Army". Hanzi and Yang Danian have already planned in their hearts to clear Hetao Mongolia and kill all the small tribes that do not choose to surrender.

Yang Danian is mature and prudent, and after analyzing the combat effectiveness of the various Mongolian tribes in the Hetao area, he also feels confident, and expresses his position:

"General, please rest assured, when we attack, we choose the best from the best, and the Tartars have always been mothers.

I heard that the most powerful Ordos tribe was beaten to the end of the world by our army. It is not known how many tribes chose to break with the puppet Manchu Qing and join the Ming Dynasty. "

Huang Han said: "Dividing and drawing together is the only way to deal with the Tartars in the future. The most important thing is to guard against a certain Mongolian tribe that is too large. If you find a large tribe with more than [-] households, you must destroy it in time. From now on, the grassland will be divided into two to three hundred households. Only small tribes can achieve long-term peace and stability."

Hanzi said: "General..."

Huang Han stared at him with disbelief: "You idiot, why did you change your mind? Don't tell me you've got a relationship with me?"

Hanzi scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "How can it be! Brother Han."

"That's right, no matter where I go in the future, I will always be your little boy, your brother Han! Say what you want to say!"

"Brother Han, I forgot what to say when you interrupted me?"

Yang Danian smiled and said, "I reckon Yang Dalang is going to ask if he killed all the Tartar tribes with one or two thousand households, leaving only two or three hundred households."

Hanzi said happily, "That's right! That's what I thought."

Huang Han said: "The Tartars don't remember to fight or not to eat. It is necessary to kill some Liwei. But after they choose to surrender, they can't carry out massacres. They can divide their tribes and separate them far away. It doesn't necessarily need to be too bloody. .”

The Sixth Battalion Leaders left behind in Shanxi and Xuanda will have the task of conquering the Tartars in the Hetao area and will no longer miss the Korean War.

In fact, Hanzi is more willing to fight against the Tartars. He likes to lead tens of thousands of cavalry to chase the Tartars on the Hetao prairie.

Not long after the victory at Ningwuguan, Mengruhu, Wang Zhaokun, and Wang Xizhong were promoted and transferred from Shanxi to Xi'an to garrison.

This may be the wisdom of several important officials of the imperial court. The "Red Banner Army" invaded Shanxi, and Xuanda annexed many Ming army camps. up.

How can the other commanders, lieutenants, generals, and guerrillas be preserved?

If the fierce tiger remains in Shanxi, I believe it will not be long before they will become the "Red Banner Army" or become a vassal army of the "Red Banner Army", and the court will not be able to mobilize them.

In order to take precautions, fierce men and horses were transferred to strengthen the defense of Xi'an. Wang Zhaokun, the patrol censor, was promoted to Xi'an military preparation, and Wang Xizhong became the eunuch guarding Xi'an.

Huang Weizheng and Han Zhikuan, who have a deep relationship with Huang Han, have been stationed in Xi'an for more than five years.

Huang Han's personal guard battalion has increased a lot of people, all of whom were selected from among the [-] young soldiers who graduated this year, and the number reached [-].

More than 1000 teenagers who have served in the Guards Battalion for more than a year have been promoted and arranged to serve as grassroots officers in each battalion. Most of them are general banner officers, accounting for no more than [-]% of the total. .

The children of the poor have long been in charge of their families, and the orphans who were originally living on the streets were taken in by Huang Han and brought up. They received militarized management from an early age and practiced literature and martial arts every day.

When he graduated, his military quality was already better than that of ordinary military attachés of the Ming army. After coming to the Patriarch's side to train for a year or two, he was fully capable of serving as a military officer at the grassroots level.

There were more than [-] people in the guard camp. During the period in Shanxi and Xuanda, the young guards participated in compiling household registration books, distributing food books, and verified many orphans.

Originally, Huang Han adopted a consistent policy of taking in a large number of orphans, regardless of gender, providing them with food, clothing, education, and raising them to adulthood. Now that the money and food are abundant, he spares no effort.

Many mansions in Taiyuan, Datong, Xuanfu, Zhangjiakou and other former big businessmen have been transformed into schools, and each school has hundreds to one or two thousand orphans studying and learning to read while accepting militarized management.

Some of the teachers in the school are graduates from the normal college in Tiger Cave City, and more than half of them are regular soldiers who retired due to injuries.
