Chapter 712: Waste
Hanzi, Yang Danian, and others had to continue to reconnoiter the four Mongolian tribes of Shuote, Dzungaria, Dulbert, and Turghut Oirat, and pay special attention to the area under the actual control of the Ordos department, which was only more than 300 miles away from the Yatou Pass.
Since the Ordos Department has reached more than 5,000 households, it is very strong in Southern Mongolia and is the king in the Hetao area.
Then the "Red Banner Army" concentrated on using six battalions of cavalry to bring about 10,000 cavalry of the Ming army, which had been retrained for nearly a year, to launch a post-autumn offensive to sweep the Hetao area, and in one fell swoop dealt a heavy blow to the Phosphorus Minister's Department and drove him north.
Huang Han analyzed the situation of Monan Mongolia and the consistent style of Ephochen Taiji collected by the Qiwei to Hanzi and Yang Danian, and said with a smile:
"The Hetao area is full of water and grass, cattle and sheep everywhere, but the leader is a complete wreck.
You have remembered that you must be very suspicious when dealing with aliens, and you must attack the shrewd and capable alien leaders fiercely and strive to kill them all.
A leader like Ephochen doesn't need to be killed, he can be spared.
The autumn attack is the time when the cattle and sheep are fattened, and the welfare of the military and civilians next year depends on whether you fight beautifully. β
The "Red Banner Army" defended the territory, and in the case of Xiongguan and Jiancheng to rely on, it was enough to leave half of the infantry and half of the guard army, and there were 50,000 Ming infantry to be called.
Hanzi concentrated on the use of the "Red Banner Army", and the cavalry of the Ming army could reach 20,000.
Then form a 20,000-foot artillery army coordinated by the Red Banner Army with 40% of the regular soldiers and 60% of the Guards.
Even if there are really 10,000 households, it is impossible to concentrate these 10,000 households in a short period of time, and even if he can mobilize half of them, even if he is outstanding, if he is able to produce at least one ding, 5,000 households can dispatch 5,000 to 8,000 string controllers.
The combat effectiveness of the Tartars is not worth mentioning now, and the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" and the cavalry of the Ming Army have advantages in firepower, equipment, and numbers, and they can win a complete victory.
Hanzi said with confidence: "How many people came to Jiannu the year before last?" One or two thousand! At that time, there was also Lin Dan Khan, the co-owner of the Tartars, and the Tartars of Monan were beaten by Jiannu to surrender and flee, you must know that Jiannu was running for more than 3,000 miles at that time.
The number of troops dispatched by our army is more than double that of Jiannu, and the battlefield of the attack is 300 miles outside the Yaotou Pass. β
This little bit of people in Wanhu in Ordos will definitely not be able to withstand the sharp attack of the 40,000 troops organized by the "Red Banner Army", and Hanzi and Yang Danian have already planned to empty the Hetao Mongolia and kill all the small tribes that do not choose to submit.
Yang Da was old and serious, and after analyzing the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian departments in the Hetao area, he also felt that Chengzhu was in his chest, and said:
"General, please relax, when we start, we will choose the strongest among the strong, and Tartar has always been a mother with milk.
I heard that the strongest Ordos Department was beaten to the end of the world by our army, and the tribe that chose to break with the puppet Manchu Qing and re-defect to the Ming Dynasty should not be known when the wind makes the rudder. β
Huang Han said: "Differentiation and co-optation is the only way to deal with the Tartars in the future, the most important thing is to guard against a certain Mongolian tribe is too large, and if it is found that the large tribe of more than 3,000 households must be defeated in time, and the small tribes of two or three hundred households on the grassland will be the main ones in order to achieve long-term peace and stability." β
Hanzi said: "General......"
Huang Han glared at him with a face full of disbelief and said, "Hanzi, why did you change your mind?" Are you even separated from me? β
Hanzi scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "How can there be!" Brother Han. β
"That's right, no matter where I go in the future, it will always be your hair small, your brother Han! What you have to say, keep talking! β
"Brother Han, I forgot what I was going to say when you interrupted me?"
Yang Danian said with a smile: "I estimate that Yang Dalang is going to ask if he has killed the Tartar tribe with one or two thousand households and left only two or three hundred households." β
Han Zixi said: "That's right! That's what I thought. β
Huang Han said: "Tartars don't remember to eat, and it is necessary to kill a part of Liwei." But they can't do a massacre after they choose to surrender, they can break up their tribes and separate them far away, and they don't necessarily need to be too bloody. β
The commanders of the six battalions left behind in Shanxi and Xuanda had the task of conquering the Tatars in the Hetao area, and no longer worried about the absence of the Korean War.
Hanzi is actually more willing to fight with the Tartars, and likes to lead tens of thousands of cavalry to chase the Tartars in the Hetao steppe, which is very energetic when he thinks about it.
Not long after the victory of Ningwuguan, fierce as a tiger, Wang Zhaokun, and Wang Xizhong were transferred from Shanxi to Xi'an after being promoted.
This may be the small wisdom of several important ministers of the imperial court, the "Red Banner Army" was involved in Shanxi, Xuanda swallowed up a lot of Ming military camps, and even the army of Wang Servant and Xu Dingguo, the chief military officer of Datong, was eaten.
Can other commanders, adjutant generals, staff generals, and guerrillas be saved?
If the fierce men and horses still keep Shanxi, I believe that 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 imperial court will not be able to mobilize it.
In order to prevent it from happening, the fierce men and horses were transferred to strengthen the defense of Xi'an, and Wang Zhaokun, the imperial historian of the patrol gate, was promoted to the Xi'an military station, and Wang Xizhong became the eunuch of 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, and they should have moved their places a long time ago, and they were transferred out to participate in the pursuit of the Liukou in Shangluo Mountain.
Huang Han's personal guard battalion has increased by a number of people, all of whom are good seedlings selected from the 8,000 young soldiers who graduated this year, and the number has reached 2,000.
More than 1,000 teenagers who had served in the Guards Battalion for more than a year were promoted and assigned to serve as grass-roots officers in various battalions, the vast majority of whom were general flag officers, with no more than 20 percent of the total number of 100 officers and only seven or eight of them becoming generals.
The children of the poor were in charge of the family at an early age, and the orphans who were originally living on the streets were taken in and raised by Huang Han, who were under militarized management since they were young, and practiced literature and martial arts every day.
When he graduated, his military quality was already stronger than that of ordinary Ming army military attachΓ©s, and he came to the head of his family for a year or two to train, and he was completely competent to serve as an officer at the grassroots level.
The total number of people in the guard camp is more than 6,000, and during this period in Shanxi and Xuanda, the young guards participated in the compilation of household registration books, the distribution of food books, and the verification of many orphans.
Originally, Huang Han adopted the consistent policy of taking in a large number of orphans, both men and women, giving them food and clothing, providing them with education, and raising them to adulthood.
Many mansions of former big merchants such as Taiyuan, Datong, Xuanfu, and Zhangjiakou have been converted into schools, and each school has a few hundred to one or two thousand orphans who are studying and literate while being administered by militarization.
Some of the teachers in the school are graduates of the division college in Tiger's Den City, and most of them are regular soldiers who retired due to injuries.
