Chapter 126: Yuan Army

The Black Cloud Dragon returned by boat with a team of horses, and the wind and dust were served.

Now that the war is temporarily suspended, it is considered peacetime, and the infantry of the Oriental Military Government still have to undergo regular training except for a short vacation in rotation, and the cavalry does not have such treatment.

There are maps and documents from Spain in the central part of the New World, but there are many places north of Jiexian that the Spaniards have never visited, but fortunately many tribal chiefs have been invited, and the rest is to map their territories.

After all, no one knows where the Ming army will fight in this land in the future.

Without knowing the terrain, the army is blind.

The black cloud dragon stared at the big-eyed beads and whispered in a strange tone like telling Chen Mu some secret: "Dashuai, on the island in the north, there are remnants of the Northern Yuan!" ”

The remnants of the Northern Yuan?

It's a strange word!

Chen Mu picked his chin and said, "Isn't there a Mongolian athlete in your own horse team, why is it so ugly?" ”

"It's not Mongolia, it's the remnants of the Northern Yuan!" Heiyunlong's expression was very serious, and he reached out and said: "Jincheng goes three thousand miles to the north, and there are groups of big islands two hundred miles overseas, and there are thousands of people on the islands. ”

What's that?

Chen Mu blinked, isn't this a bit fantasy?

But this also made him interested, and he changed his sitting posture and asked, "What's going on, tell me in detail." ”

"I don't know where their ancestors came from, and I don't know that my Emperor Taizu chased Yuankou to the north, but the ancestors were ordered by the emperor to go on an expedition to a foreign country, and they encountered a typhoon at sea, and a partial division drifted here along the river."

"The expeditions were all men, and the natives who landed on the islands were invincible, so they intermarried with women, and multiplied here, and these things have been passed down from generation to generation, and are no different from the natives today."

Chen Mu's whole expression was very sluggish, which was even more surprising than the first time he heard that Ma Gui really led people across the sea to stand on the land of America.

The ghost made a miracle, and he asked an irrelevant sentence: "Do you know how difficult it is for Ma Shuai to come over?" ”

After preparing for more than a year on Kugu Island, he set up a supply post for a hundred households almost a hundred miles to the east, and mobilized all ethnic groups in the northeast of the empire's frontier, and almost every tribe had someone as an interpreter, all the way to Wangxia Prefecture.

Just this second master Ma also went the wrong way, and if he was not careful in the ice and snow, he would be gone.

Now you tell me that they went to sea to fight, and they didn't win the war, and they didn't do anything and drifted to the Americas?

"To tell you the truth, you just told me that they are the descendants of the Song Army, and I believe it, but Yuan Jun?"

Chen Mu rubbed his face: "Let's just treat them as descendants of the Yuan Army." ”

The navigation of the Song Dynasty was extremely developed, and there were routes to Egypt and Africa, according to the ability of the Song people, even if they were shipwrecked, they could at least distinguish between east and west, north and south at sea.

But the Yuan Dynasty?

It's not that Chen Mu doesn't believe it, his own job is to go to sea to fight, and he is very clear about the history of overseas expeditions, and in all dynasties, there are many expeditions overseas in the Yuan Dynasty, and he has a lot of treasures about these.

It's not that he studied seriously, but the result is too easy to remember, the Mongol army galloped half the world, but the results of the naval battle were very contrasting - they didn't win.

In the conquest of Annam, the Yuan army was overwhelmed by guerrillas, not to mention the non-stop summer rain and plague, and the army withdrew due to heat like fighting Burma; The situation of the second expedition to Annam was similar, and the food was exhausted.

Conquer Burma, King Zong Kuokuo supervised the army, led the Yuan army by Yunnan Province Pingzhang Xue Chao Wu'er, busy Udulu lost and so on, the weather was hot there, it was a drought, Yunnan Governor Gao Qing and other troops led the army to help the local people rush to repair the water conservancy and irrigation projects in the Kyaukxi area, and later the generals were bribed to retire from the army, leaving a Dingdui Canal they dug to Burma, the quality is excellent, and it can still be used after 700 years.

Conquering Java, the Javanese ruler saw that the reinforcements surrendered neatly, and asked the reinforcements to help him attack the neighboring country Gelang, and the Yuan army conscripted Queen Gelang to raise troops in Java to base the Yuan army, and the Yuan army was tired and went home.

Two expeditions to Japan, the first time encountered a hurricane, the second time encountered a hurricane, was drowned and hacked to death, almost all the army was wiped out, before this was still the Heavenly Empire, after which the Ming Dynasty became a thief.

But to put it this way...... Chen Mu raised his hand and tapped the back of his head: "Then they are probably the descendants of the Yuan army who encountered a hurricane in Japan." ”

Heiyunlong is not a southern general who doesn't know those war histories, even if he knows, he doesn't care, anyway, what Chen Mu says is what it is, even if Chen Mu insists on saying that these people are Tang Army or Han Army, then he will nod and say that he heard it wrong.

He raised his hand and narrowed his eyes to make a fierce gesture, "Kill them all?" ”

"What do you kill?" Chen Mu waved his hand and said: "Isn't there a hundred households named Hulan under Ma Shuai's command who have made meritorious contributions and don't know what to reward, he is also close to the archipelago you said, let him go and recruit those descendants of the Yuan army, and train a team of men and horses in Jincheng." ”

"It's his ability to recruit as much as he can, as long as the people there don't have the intention of attacking us, they don't have to harm people's lives. Across thousands of miles of oceans, more than 300 years of time, Emperor Taizu expelled the Tatars, Emperor Chengzu conquered Mobei five times, the old grudge has long been settled, where do we still have any enmity with their ancestors. ”

The war between the Ming Dynasty and the north of the Great Wall continued, but this new revenge was not returned three hundred years later by the descendants of the Yuan army who floated here.

Chen Mu seemed to have made an insignificant decision, looked at Heiyun Long again and said, "If you can, let them liveβ€”how many places have your people poked out in the north and east, and they won't come back for this, right?" ”

"The marshal has said it, then let them live, and then we will find someone to give an order to the hundred households of Hulan in Jincheng, and let him go over to recruit people."

The black cloud dragon poured the bachelor, and responded to the order very simply, and then changed the conversation and said: "Where can I come back because of this matter." This place is so big that I often can't even see a single figure when I walk forty or fifty miles, and there are not enough lowly people. ”

"Sometimes the cavalry runs out for a long distance, and from a distance I see that the houses built by the local tribes are like turrets, and they don't dare to step forward alone, and the progress of the drawing is really slow, so I want to ask the commander to send some more cavalry."

"There are also yellow dogs, the tribes here have dogs, big and silly, and they are called fragrant when they are in the pot...... That handsome. Heiyunlong stopped talking as he spoke, and smiled embarrassedly: "Let's allocate another six hundred horses, take advantage of the freezing in the north, I will explore more places, and wait for the beginning of spring to explore the dozens of tribes in the north." ”

"Six hundred rides."

Chen Mu shook his head with a deep groan, and said, "I can only give you another five hundred, this is all the number of your own cavalry, and my family can't go north." ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand to the east and said, "They were sent by me in the direction of Mexico City, and Chang Sheng has no cavalry. ”

Chen Mu didn't have anything to do about it, his eyes looked at the sea in the distance through the window of the port yamen, that was the direction of Daming, and there was no news of the second phase of Beiyang, which was supposed to arrive in Hong Kong at this time, which made him not feel at ease.
