Chapter 1006: The Territory of the Far Eastern Company
After years of construction of the nomadic detachment in the Far East, the company has also invested a lot of resources and trained many technical backbones. In addition to the grass-roots organizational units such as brigades, squadrons, and squads at all levels, each detachment also has a direct support squadron, which is equipped with a complete support unit such as a health officer group, a maintenance team, a veterinary team, an agricultural and animal husbandry technical group, and a forage group.
In this campaign, the various nomadic detachments in the rear of the main force were nomadic herders along the rivers and lakes in search of areas with abundant water and grass, and the Far Eastern Army captured a huge number of cattle, sheep and horses in the Mobei, Monan and ******** grasslands.
All of them are assigned to the nomadic detachments in various places to take care of them, this group of poor herdsmen at the bottom who were originally hard, when have they seen so many cattle and sheep, although the workload has doubled on weekdays, but everyone is still very excited. Having so many cattle and sheep means that no matter how harsh the winter is, even if you suffer from a white plague, you don't have to worry about starving anymore.
At present, the nomadic detachments are actively preparing for wintering, first of all, the storage of winter forage. The number of cattle, sheep and horses in each detachment has increased several times, and the reserve of hay and green fodder in winter alone requires the herdsmen of the detachment to get up early and work hard at night.
Because of the use of advanced animal husbandry technology and the equipping of complete technical support units, the cattle and sheep slaughter rate and survival rate of the various nomadic detachments in the Far East have been greatly improved.
The use of scientific and perfect processing and storage, basically put an end to the past "summer full, autumn fat, winter thin, spring death" phenomenon, even in the winter of the white disaster, cattle and sheep in various pastoral areas can also process and reserve enough overwintering grass.
In addition, the nomadic detachments prepared a large number of simple greenhouses in the harsh winter, so that even in the winter in the area around Lake Baikal, the detachment's cattle, sheep and horses no longer had to worry about wintering.
In this campaign, the Far Eastern Army also captured a large number of low-level herdsmen in the south and north of the desert. They are currently housed in various concentration camps. While receiving basic training, he is engaged in various heavy tasks for the Far East Company.
Before the start of the war, the Northwest Field Army had already stockpiled a large number of winter clothing such as cotton clothes, cotton hats, and cotton shoes, as well as various daily necessities such as bedding, which would be distributed to the captured herdsmen before the beginning of winter.
The Far Eastern Army was sweeping all over the country, gathering the herdsmen scattered in the steppes. Now the herders on the steppe have largely given up resistance. As long as they encounter the Far Eastern Army or the nomadic detachment, they will take the initiative to surrender. There are still two or three months to go into the long winter.
In the cold winter of the extremely harsh environment, the herdsmen scattered on the grassland, they have no cattle, sheep and horses, no food, they simply cannot survive the long and harsh winter, only to join other tribes, even if they are slaves, they are willing, at least they can survive.
So now the herdsmen in the concentration camps everywhere are captives. They are very peaceful, whether it is basic training or work, they work very hard, for fear of being driven out of the camp by the Far East.
In the grasslands of this era, survival is always the most important, and in order to survive, you can abandon cattle and sheep. You can abandon your family, and of course, you can abandon your dignity.
Genghis Khan though created the golden age of Mongolia. But in fact, it is a product of the times. During the rise of Mongolia, the surrounding countries were all going downhill.
The Jin State was in the process of sinicization of nomadic peoples, the contradiction between the emerging landlords and the nomadic aristocracy was more serious, the Jin army formed into a tribal army instead of the state was greatly affected by politics, the combat effectiveness declined, the Western Xia national strength was insufficient, and the Southern Song Dynasty court had no ambition. This period was also just before the Age of Discovery. The last glory of continental hegemony.
Unlike the Han Chinese dynasty, which was organized, the Mongols did not establish a unified centralized state, but chose to divide their families. Just as the country was founded so quickly, so did the decline of the country, in fact, from the day they stopped the war. The state began to decline.
The three generations of Genghis Khan's golden family did indeed create unprecedented martial arts, and the Mongols quickly built an unprecedented empire, destroying the Central Asian states and the Abbasid dynasty, but failed to sustain it like the Turks.
Today's Mongols have indeed declined, and the steppe generally has the idea of emphasizing tribes and ignoring nationalities, and gradually lost the national whole, and tribes are in a state of frequent wars between tribes.
The Far Eastern Army conquered the Mongol tribes in northeastern Liaoning, conducted a series of winter training and ideological education on them, and based on these Mongols, established the Far Eastern Army's own cavalry armed force.
In a few years, they gradually conquered the Mongolian tribes south of the Great Khing'an Mountains, Monan, ********, Mobei and Moxi steppes, and the Mongols in the northern steppes were scattered and sandy, and in the face of the Far Eastern Army armed to the teeth, they were basically crushed at the touch of a button.
The cavalry of the Mongolian legion, which was transformed by the Far East, relied on the support of the powerful resources of the Far East Company to burst out with unparalleled combat effectiveness. This year, the Far East has mobilized the main cavalry units, militia units, and a large number of nomadic detachments of the Northwest Field Army and the Northeast Field Army, with a strong military group of hundreds of thousands of people, to launch a large-scale offensive against the grasslands of the desert north and the west of the desert.
In the first stage of the campaign, with the support of the airboat troops, countless main cavalry units of Mongolia and the Outer Northeast carried out ultra-long-distance and large-scale rapid penetration into the enemy's deep area. The interspersed process of the first phase of the campaign was definitely a severe test for the main assault forces participating in the battle.
In particular, the various units of the Moxi Mongols marched for more than 20 days in a row, overcame many difficulties, and even reached more than 1,000 kilometers with the farthest troops, and rushed to the starting position of the attack in a timely manner, dividing and encircling the various units of the Moxi Mongols.
The successful conclusion of the Northbound Campaign and the Westward Expansion Campaign enabled the Far Eastern Company to completely solve the nomadic populations in the northern part of the Central Plains, and also allowed the Far Eastern Company to increase a large territory.
After ten years of efforts, the area controlled by the Far East Company has encompassed a huge area stretching from the Hubei Sea in the east, the Indus Valley in the west, Lake Baikal in the north, and Java Island in the south. At present, only the Central Plains and Tibet, as well as the southern part of Qinghai, have not yet been included in the territory of the Far Eastern Company.
In the next few years, the Far Eastern Company will continue to advance westward, crossing the vast Kazakh steppe, reaching the east coast of the Caspian Sea, and marching its troops to southern Qinghai and Tibet, constantly expanding its territory, and striving to completely take over Eurasia and Australia before entering the Central Plains.
In the future, the Far East Company will also send a large number of expedition fleets to the Americas, Africa and other places to establish colonial bases on a large scale. Establish a Federal Republic of China, with Eurasia as the center and a large number of global overseas colonies.
