Chapter 384: Don't skimp
Buta Shili will always remember the wanton laughter of the great tomorrow.
This kind of laughter would make him wonder, if the cavalry of the Ming Jin Kingdom encountered the Daming car camp in that 'nameless place' in the mouth of the Son of Heaven?
In his eyes, there is no difference between the Khalkha tribe that occupies the Wuliang Ha Sanwei and the Daming Jin Kingdom.
It would be a cruel thing for any child of the age of the little prince to think of such a question.
Because it brings fear that is rooted in the depths of the soul.
But in fact, even Altan Khan himself did not know that the Jin kingdom he established was once a chance to regain the glory of Genghis Khan...... It's just that now, there is not much difference between the Ming Jin Kingdom and the Wuliang Ha Sanwei, and even if there is, the difference is only that the Ming Jin Kingdom can make its own armor.
And during the existence of Zhao Quan and the other Bansheng Lords, what Jin Guo could do was not just to make his own armor.
Indeed, if training and supplies are neglected, there are indeed the best warriors in the steppes, and every herdsman can mount a horse and take a bow and arrow to become a fierce robber or a swarming army when the need arises.
But that's about it.
The nomads living on the steppes are so fierce and fierce that they are willing to give up the fattest land in the world to the weak Han people, hide in the desert, the Gobi and the grasslands where there is no food, and hone their skills in the ice and snow?
The nomads plundered year by year, and all the places where the iron hooves passed turned into a scorched earth; But a herdsman usually has five or six children who grow up, and each of these five or six children will have five or six children grow up to adulthood, so why are there so many people on the grassland after hundreds of years of breeding?
Where did the disappeared people go?
Compared with other tribes, the Jin Kingdom of Alta is stronger than the other tribes in the settlement of Youbansheng.
A tribe with a thousand cows, sheep, and a thousand horses would have to have at least 180 miles of pasture land to feed the horses, and theoretically speaking, if the tribe consisted of eight families, everyone could live an extremely prosperous life; In fact, if this tribe has only eight families, it will be killed by other tribes, so it will take at least dozens of families to properly protect the property, then only three or four of these dozens of families will live well, and the others can only maintain a very low standard of living.
Bansheng is different, settlement allows the people to have more division of labor, some people do farming, some people work, some people do business, some people are directors, some people are soldiers, people's identities do not need to switch back and forth between herdsmen and soldiers, production is non-stop, skilled skills.
In many cases, it is not the people who choose the way of life, but the way of life that chooses the people, such as the Wuliang Ha Sanwei.
Because of its location in the north, whenever the Mongols went south to fight against the Ming Dynasty in the past, the Uliangha Sanwei would attack the tribes from the rear, so that everyone hated them.
Now that the Khalkha tribe occupies the three guards of Uliangha, the result is actually the same, they will also pick up the fruit from behind when others are fighting.
But Bansheng, north of the Great Wall, exists precisely against this common sense.
The combination of the tribe and the Bansheng shaped the powerful Altajin state.
And what the Wanli Emperor wanted was the tribe.
"Fried flowers frightened and led the army to run away, but one of his subordinates named Ha Rabbit was in General Qi's camp at this time, and the former army sent back a message asking what to do, I estimate that it won't be long before the people from the military department will enter the palace."
Emperor Wanli rubbed his hands, picked up a Ming army cavalry warrior and slowly pushed it forward on the map, until it reached Wuliang Ha Sanwei, and suddenly turned his head and said: "Don't talk to the two of you when the minister of the military department comes, today's recital will be passed on to the noon gate and announced to the world." ”
King Lu is ignorant, in short, the royal brother said don't speak, don't say it.
The little prince Buta Shili was still immersed in the horror of the previous perverted smile, and quietly leaned towards King Lu...... No matter how you look at it, King Lu, who loves to play with snot, is much cuter than the emperor who loves to play with soldiers.
The emperor's brother is too dangerous.
There is no way, in Wanli's eyes, after this battle, Wuliang Ha Sanwei is already in the bag of the Ming Dynasty.
Dai Cai, the secretary of the military department who was transferred from Nanjing before the war, and Wang Chonggu, who was re-invited out of the mountain, also saw it this way.
Dai is the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department, with the responsibility of counselor, Wang Chonggu was impeached a few years ago for telling the imperial court the benefits of going west to Qinghai, and this time he was also invited out because of the changes in northern Xinjiang, but he has no power just for the emperor to ask about politics.
"This battle is the luck of the heavenly army, deterring the three guards, and the troops will advance unimpeded."
In the end, he was impeached and was not glorious enough, even if he was called to the imperial court, Wang Chonggu did not talk much, and listened to Dai Cai, the secretary of the Nanjing Military Department.
After a big victory without losses, the military department Shangshu was like smearing honey on his mouth, but he boasted about Qi Jiguang, but then he cried bitterly: "Qi Shuai reported before, the raider needs to send guards to patrol the bullet suppression, and it cannot be easily released into the hands of others." Recently, the imperial court has dispatched soldiers from the Shuntian guards to go out of Qingshan Pass, and the responsibility of baggage planning is becoming more and more heavy. ”
The men and horses on the front line, not counting Li Chengliang, who responded to the north in Liaodong, had nearly 30,000 troops in the direction of Qi Jiguang, and the troops were eating horses and horses, which brought great pressure to the rear, and almost the entire Shuntian Zhuwei and the Beijing army were transporting supplies to the mouth of the Great Wall.
This was not what the emperor had imagined, and he asked with an inquiring expression, "Dai Weng is saying that the imperial court is not well prepared?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, it's not that you're underprepared, it's just that you're over-consumed."
Consumed too much?
This was like a basin of cold water sprinkled on the emperor's head, he put his hands on his stomach and asked, "What about the cattle and sheep that fried flowers?" What about horses? ”
Dai Cai was also very helpless, the preparations for the Northern Expedition had just reached the discussion stage, and this battle was fought by the emperor and Zhang Juzheng, which was originally good anywhere, but the war machine suddenly moved, the Beijing army moved back and forth, and Qi Jiguang's troops advanced more than everyone expected.
The imperial court was indeed prepared, but it was prepared for wars of attrition like those in previous years, not for occupation-oriented battles like now...... Consumption is not the same.
"Qi Shuai did capture a lot of cattle, sheep and war horses, but except for a few supplementary sergeants, most of them were transported to the Guannai."
Shipped to the Kannai?
How did the emperor know how cautious Qi Jiguang was, he didn't even move the cattle and sheep of the tribes that were collected, and the captured war profits were close to being transported back untouched.
Who doesn't know that eating the grain and grass transported by the imperial court to the customs is expensive, but the consumption is a matter of the imperial court, not to mention that if he eats the war profits, even if he sends an official document to the court to eat the war profits, it will become his own business.
For Qi Jiguang, his soldiers can eat the spoils of war, but there is no need, they can wait and send the things back first.
It's like he can not kneel down and bow down when he sees Shousuke, but he can bend his legs first and then be helped up.
He was waiting for someone in the court to speak for him, he thought that person would be Zhang Juzheng, but he didn't expect that there was a person in the court who had more determination than everything to promote this war.
The emperor decided that this matter would not go through the procedure, "What to transport to the Guannai?" I've been rewarded! ”
"Let Qi Shuai eat it on the spot, if you can't eat it, take it to Sanwei and eat it slowly, if you can't finish it, go to the west to find the barbarians and eat at the same time...... If it is not enough, I will send more seaborne grain and grass to the Nanyang Military Government, and I will not even send it to the Beiyang Army, will I still regret this consumption? ”
"In this battle, I don't plan to make anything, what cattle, sheep, war horses, or anything belong to the tribe, I don't want it at all, in order to get back the land that my ancestors lost, hold it tightly in my hands, and never let go."
"Old gentleman, you tell me the truth......" The emperor sitting on the deck of the Wanli ship folded his arms in front of his chest and asked slowly with his usual inquiring expression, "Is there anyone in the court who wants to violate the law of the ancestors and don't even want the land of the ancestors?" ”
