Jinyi Night Walk

Kaiyuan Campus.Banner hunting.Yang Lao Dawei stands in Jiaojiangtai Primary School.

off stage.The general flag, military flag, and banner of each guard.Flying in the wind.It shows the grandeur of military might.

Take a look.There are all soldiers standing with horses in front of them, their military appearances are solemn and mighty.Standing together in black.Waiting for Xia Shi's general order

Standing at the forefront.It was the cavalry that Xia Qi mobilized from the guards.The cavalry of each guard joined together.It became a powerful cavalry team.However, there is this power to mobilize the guards and cavalry to unite as one.Only he can do it.Even though Shen Yong is the highest officer of Liaodong Capital, it is not easy to recruit soldiers and horses from the guards.

According to Xia Shi's arrangement.Tanma has already found out the location of the Tuowei tribe who raided [-] guards.Want to hit it hard, take this.The big tribe of Nangqin was completely wiped out from the grassland, and the military power was determined by the first battle.A highly mobile cavalry team is needed, otherwise those saddlers will ride if they want to grab a horse, and roll up their tents if they want to escape.We must always be in a state of passive defense.

Not all of the 2 elite Xia Shi brought went into battle.He only transferred [-] people from it.Mainly red spear infantry, sword and shield infantry, fire command troops, and artillery soldiers.The main force of the battle is still played by the Liaodong Army.The troops sent by Xia Shi.In fact, most of them are composed of Shenji Battalion, this is after the formation of Shenji Battalion.For the first time, it experienced a rigorous war test.

With the cooperation and cover of the cavalry and infantry, if the firearms troops of the Shenji Battalion can not lose in the face of the mighty Qingqi who come and go like lightning.Then there is no army that can deal a fatal blow to them.This will prove that Emperor Yongle was right to attach importance to firearms research and expand the proportion of firearms in the army. Otherwise, the popularization of firearms in the army will definitely become an obstacle:

It is a matter of course that the riding and shooting skills of soldiers in farming society lagged behind that of nomadic warriors. Nomadic people have lived on horseback since childhood.Holding a bow and archery is as common as we use chopsticks every day. You let the warrior who puts down the hoe and puts on the horseback surpass the enemy in riding and shooting after several years of training.How is that possible?

Furthermore.The provision of military horses.For farming peoples, it has always been a heavy burden. At this stage, cavalry has to be developed.But it is inevitable to promote my strengths.It is impossible for us to not have the enemy's innate advantage in riding and shooting.Just give up farming.Continue to herd cattle and sheep.Farming civilization is a higher civilization than nomadic civilization.Stable life and perfect social environment.It will promote the production of more civilized things.What we have to do is to promote my strengths.instead of following the enemy's strengths

The development of firearms requires a long process, and the West can successfully complete this process.It's because they have inherent advantages around them.There is not a strong nomad.But Daming is not.But Daming couldn't give up the development of firearms because of this, and blindly use the riding system to ride if that is the case.Even if the threat from the nomads in the north no longer exists, what can we do to resist when the foreigners with guns, artillery, strong ships and powerful ships appear in front of us?By that time.The cavalier and shooter who used to cross the world is completely scum in front of firearms, so.Only face up to difficulties.Accelerating the development and maturity of firearms is the kingly way.

Shen Yong has been beheaded in public.Given that he is the highest military officer in Liaodong.Xia Shi did not hang his head on a high pole to show the public, but beheaded it in public.It was enough to make the hearts of the generals tremble.He had found out in advance the relationship between the generals and Shen Yong.Let Xia Shi know what she knows.Outpost and rear battalion, whoever leads and who assists.On the configuration of each army and horse.There are relatively proper arrangements.As for the specific tactics and tactics when facing the enemy.That is the business of the commanders.Xia Shi will not overstep her role:

about strategic deployment.The generals who went to battle already knew it well.The pre-war mobilization is over.Following Xia Shi's order.The army moved out.

Drum horns roar.Armor clangs.The flags are flying.Thirty thousand fine riders are like a moving ocean.Roaring and galloping out of the school field.Javelins, sabers, quiveres, bow bags, riding shields, and red-tasseled long-lacquered drags. . ", murderous:

Then the chariot soldiers and infantry also marched away with a neat pace that made the whole earth tremble.Dragon chariots, bowl mirrors, muskets, spears densely packed like forests, and gleaming broadswords.The mandarin duck battle jacket looks like a sea of ​​red.

According to Xia Shi's deployment.It is necessary to concentrate the superior cavalry and carry out a thunderous breakthrough against this Tuowei tribe.Then the chariot soldiers and infantry swept the battlefield.Then the cavalry is still responsible for attacking and deterring the surrounding Bran tribes who may rescue the Ministry.The covering army returned calmly.

It is different from the military orders of previous wars.Xia Ji's request: You can also accept the surrender.But it doesn't matter whether it falls or not.All the captives and surrenders must be brought back.All the gold, silver, food, population, and livestock of the Tanwei tribe were looted back.Those that cannot be moved are burned, and those that cannot be burned are destroyed.In short.Take back this conquered tribe in its entirety!

Anyone who does not follow will be killed without mercy!

First, Shen Yong, the capital of Liaodong, was beheaded.After passing the order to Nine Sides, another order came.In the eyes of these Liaodong soldiers, Xia Shi was originally gentle and gentle.It's like a devil exists.

※※※※※

The news of Xia Shi's dispatch of troops caused a sensation in Kaiyuan.Then it spread throughout the Liao Dynasty, and everyone was paying attention to the result of this battle.

As the director of this battle, Xia Qi herself doesn't care about this battle.In his opinion.War is just a means.Not the purpose.Two days later, he made an appointment with Shao Yushi, Xiao Bingbei and Ding Dusi.Excitedly went to visit Hada city.

Xia Shiben wanted to go in low clothes.But Hada City is still outside Guangshun Pass.There is nothing shielding around.Now even the Jiaowei cavalry can be seen at the foot of Kaiyuan city, how can the young imperial envoy and others feel relieved to let him go on Qingqi?These people insisted on refusing, Xia Tao was helpless.In the end, they had to dispatch a guard horse to escort them, and 600 people guarded them.It left Guangshun Pass in a mighty way.

There are five cities and 21 forts in Kaiyuan.The five cities under the jurisdiction of Kaiyuan are Kaiyuan, Zhonggu, Tieling, Fanhe and Yilu. 21 Forts such as Chaihe Fort, Songshan Fort, Weiyuan Fort, Zhenbei Fort, Qingyang Fort, Zhenyi Fort, Ancient Castle, Qingyun Fort, Dingyuan Fort, etc.These constitute the place where Kaiyuan soldiers and civilians live together, and there are six passes on the outside to guard the people living inside.The six passes are Guangshun Pass, Zhenbei Pass, Xin'an Pass, Qinghe Pass, Shandao Pass, and Kanyang Pass.

Among them, Jing'an Fort is an important town in northern Liaoning, northeast and even the whole north.Guangshun Pass is the eastern key pass of Kaiyuan Battlefield and Hada City is just outside Guangshun Pass.Several major traffic routes in Daming go out through Kaiyuan.Go west through Xin'an Pass to Horqin Grassland in Mongolia.Go north through Zhenbei Pass to Jilin and Heilongjiang.Go east through Guangshun Pass to Changbai Mountain and North Korea.

basically.People in Kaiyuan area live in these cities and their vicinity.Don't think that there are 21 castles in five cities.What a dense crowd.Here, a thousand households is a city, and a hundred households is called a castle. The population is actually not too small, but the main force is the army.The people are smaller than the army.This is the current situation in Liaodong.

After leaving Guangshun Pass, go all the way.You can see some residual frequency broken wall.It seems that there were some villages here a long time ago.When the wind blows.Occasionally, some grass ash was scraped from between the ruined walls.

Xia Yi slightly covered his mouth and nose.Said: "Is there still people living here? How can there be burning ashes?"

Xiao Bingbei said: "The department hall. This is the ashes from the burning of the land in autumn and winter last year. The grass and trees on the ground have recovered. The ashes have been covered by the ashes, and sometimes the ashes of the grass blown into this old village will be blown out with the wind. After this period Enough."

The young imperial envoy said enthusiastically: "In order to prevent the intrusion of ranzi, in autumn and winter, send soldiers out of the pass to burn the wasteland. This will prevent the scorpion from grazing near our border. This will reduce a lot of troubles. This is a method that some local guards came up with. Next The official thinks this method is very good. He is planning to report to the imperial court on the method of burning wasteland in autumn and winter to isolate Aolu. I would like the imperial court to make a decree, and all towns on the nine borders will follow it. What do the ministers think?"

Xia Shixin said: "It turns out that the frontier army's burning of wasteland in autumn and winter started in this era. It has not yet been established."

In the previous life.Xia Shi has also read a few time travel novels.Some of them wrote about the frontier army in the Ming Dynasty.Most have mentioned this.Xia Shi took it for granted that this was an effective way to deal with Aolu.So I nodded before thinking deeply.Xiao Bingbei on the side smiled and said: "Young Imperial Envoy, this is the opinion of a scholar. In my opinion, this method is to drink poison to quench thirst. The harm outweighs the benefit!"

Xia Shi immediately shut up.Tilt your ears to listen.

Shao Yunfeng said unconvinced: "How does Xiao Bingbei say that?"

Xiao Bingbei said: "At the beginning of my founding of the Ming Dynasty, many tribes belonged to our dynasty. At that time, Emperor Taizu Gao said: "Everyone who governs Hulu should follow its nature: Hu people live in bitter cold. Today, if you move to the interior, you must drive south to get rid of the cold and heat. If you lose its nature, you will easily become chaotic: if you don’t follow it and caress it, it will return to the borderlands, choose water and grass, and feed Peter and live. Naturally An Ye:,

However.Hu remnants and captives spread all over the fields.Going and returning to multiplication, leaving and recombining, those who belong to and those who are not attached live in an intricate manner.It is difficult to manage.Emperor Taizu changed randomly.Ordered the barbarians outside the Great Wall.All moved to the mainland.But.On the one hand, the Yuan people withdrew northward.On the one hand, the frontier residents moved inward.This caused a large area in Liaodong to be as empty as a wilderness.Desolate:

after that.Liaodong has no people to manage, and even the magistrates have been revoked.All replaced by guards.Liaodong became more and more impoverished, and Emperor Taizu Gao later discovered that this method can temporarily isolate the enemy and ourselves.In the long run.But it has many disadvantages.So it has intentionally changed its position.From the 26th year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu Gao issued a decree.One after another, households were relocated from Shanxi and other places to enrich Xuanfu Left and Right Guards, Wanquan Right Guards, and Huai'an Guards.Let them divide the fields into cities.Open up the wilderness.pity.After Emperor Taizu passed away, this policy did not stick to it. "

Xiao Bingbei sighed twice, pointed to the deserted wilderness and said to Xia Qi: "Master, please take a look. In order to prevent being taken advantage of by moss and shoes. I am going to restrict the soldiers and civilians from farming and grazing outside the border. There are a lot of cultivated land and pastures. So I have to It is even more absurd. The weeds are burned and the people isolated are just herdsmen. Even if Qingqi goes far away to burn the wasteland, the burning wasteland is only one or two hundred miles away. When did it really play a role in blocking the invasion of charcoal? Burning wasteland and burning wasteland, the burning became more and more desolate under my nose. The enemy did not block it. Instead, I made my side a so-called desolation."

Xiao Bingbei was silent for a while.He also said: "In the early years of Hongwu, Xiao was guarding Liaodong. He accumulated experience and experience. He has only been promoted to Kaiyuan Bingbei Dao now. During the past few decades, Xiao has spent in Liaodong as a master of the Ministry. Next The official still remembers the scene when Fang went out of the fortress. At that time, the farmland was connected here, and the supervisors and herdsmen belonged to each other. Although it was temporarily desolate due to the wars in those years, but looking at the scene, it took less than two years for the fertile land to become tens of thousands of hectares. The population is thriving. The villages are connected.

pity.Yuan people withdrew north.Ming people moved south.There are very few households left.And they are not allowed to farm and herd on the edge.In autumn and winter, there will be burning.... "Moving people, burning wasteland, restricting farming and grazing. Large tracts of fertile soil and grassy beaches have been abandoned like this: Liaodong has become barren. Of course, you can't capitalize on the enemy. But you can't capitalize on your own military and country. In the long run, it is a big mistake.

and.In this way, when our Ming army went out to conquer the fortress, there were few eyes and ears to guide, and no residents to assist: the Hulu had no city walls to live in, and their land was empty.March thousands of miles.Work hard.It is difficult to really shake its roots.Furthermore.Great Army Expedition.The food and wages are all transported by the people in the interior, which costs a lot of money.With the wealth of the imperial court.Fear is also embarrassing. "

Xia Shi nodded secretly.Xiao Bingbei was ingenious, carefully savoring this argument.But it doesn't make sense.war in general.It is killing a thousand people.Self-defeating eight hundred.And for the solid walls and clear fields of the entire Liaodong.In the end, it turned out to be a powerful enemy.weakened himself.

The Mongols are now driven back to the steppes.The production methods and sources of many daily necessities were lost; and because it was in an opposing position with the Ming Dynasty.Trade relations cannot develop normally because they are poorer.The cost of war is far less than that of the Ming Dynasty.In order to meet the needs of material life.Regular looting becomes part of their life

If it is said that the Mongols still had the ability and intention to restore the Central Plains.Now their invasion is mostly a spontaneous act of the tribe.The purpose is only to meet its economic needs.certainly.This situation changes from time to time.When war becomes the norm.When another major problem occurred within Daming.Looting can turn into aggression.turned into a struggle for dominance.

But if Liaodong can become rich.Border trade can be developed.This and the situation will change a lot. We cannot rule out the existence of careerists and war madness.But the wrong measure.But it can only add unnecessary enemies to oneself.

And that's just the outside.The same is true for the interior of Liaodong.Liaodong has been in the hands of the Ming people since the early Ming Dynasty.Among the current residents here, the Mongolian Jurchen and other tribes account for less than a quarter of the total population.They are now a veritable minority here.The Han Chinese make up the vast majority here.Later, Ming Dynasty also developed its influence further north.Nuer Gandu Division was established.

But such a vast expanse of land.It has never really been firmly in Daming's hands.After more than 200 years of development, the Han people who used to be the largest population here have gradually disappeared.In the end, the Jurchen became the real owner of this place. What is the reason?

Because there are nothing but iron-clad battalions and flowing soldiers.There have never been many Han households, and the Han people have never really taken root here.Otherwise, 200 years of development.Han Chinese make up the absolute majority.The people of all ethnic groups here have been assimilated long ago.How can there be a clear distinction in 200 years.The relationship with each other is even getting worse:

Although the imperial court spared no effort on the northern border defense.But this fundamental problem is not resolved.Border troubles cannot be resolved.One day, this problem will become a serious problem!

Xia Ping thought.The purpose of going to Hada City became more and more determined.
