In the camp of the Beishang Group Army on the north bank of the Liao River in Tieling, before it was dark, all the troops were ready to go and made all the preparations before the start of the march. With Li Ming's order, the troops of the northbound group army began to march one after another, and the iron cavalry of the Mongolian army rushed out of the camp with a roar and advanced all the way to the west.

Because the various units of the Mongol Legion were extremely mobile and the troops were still marching on the vast steppe, in order to speed up the march, Li Ming did not ask the troops to march in columns, but adopted the method of marching separately, and each unit rushed to the assembly point of the Keshiketeng Department on its own.

Countless Mongolian iron horsemen sprinkled into the grassland, and the northern steppe was full of a spectacular scene of thousands of horses galloping, and all the detachments of the Mongolian army rushed westward like joy. During this time, countless men from the grasslands helped the newly resettled displaced people in the Northeast and other parts of the Northeast to carry out large-scale spring ploughing and production, and for more than a month, they hardly rode horses, torturing these men on the grassland.

The troops finally let them out when they marched westward this time, and they rushed to beat their horses one by one. Men who grew up on horseback since childhood would rather march long distances on the grassland for days and nights than be busy in the fields of the Northeast with hoes every day.

At the same time, squadrons of Mongolian herdsmen from all over Lingnan also began to assemble at designated locations, and then began to migrate to the west on a large scale with the formation of detachments. Countless migratory herdsmen slowly gathered together, and herds of cattle and sheep joined one after another, covering almost the grassland.

Most of the herdsmen in Lingnan will follow the Beishang Group Army across the Yanshan Mountains and advance into the Xilin Gol grassland. In the future, the large grasslands in northeastern Liaoning will also be greatly reduced by the number of Mongolian herdsmen, and the Horqin steppe, which is rich in water and grass, will also become the state-owned pastures of the Far East Company in the future.

In the future, the company will organize the company's grassroots herdsmen. Herds of cattle and sheep gradually migrated westward, slowly sweeping the entire Monan, Mobei and Xinjiang, like locusts, sweeping through the Mongolian tribes in the north of the Central Plains, which is also the ultimate goal of the company's northward plan.

Li Ming and the people of the group army headquarters in the north, as well as a large number of materials from the troops directly under the group army and the baggage troops. It boarded the barge on the river deck and followed the Liao River through the West Liao River and the West Lamulun River all the way to the pasture near the Keshiketeng Department.

Engineer units have already arrived there in advance, and have built such facilities as an improvised wharf, an airship take-off and landing site, a long-range wireless communication relay base station, a barracks, and a logistics and storage center. The company's logistics department set up a base for the advance of the group army there, and a large number of supplies arrived there every day.

At present, the company has completely controlled the Xilin Gol grassland in Chahar, and the remnants of Chahar have long been swept away by the Far East Army, and most of the herdsmen, cattle, sheep and horses have been captured by the Far East Army, and now they have all been transformed into grassroots herdsmen in the Far East.

The two main cavalry divisions of the Mongol legion and several Mongolian militia divisions, as well as a large number of herdsmen and cattle, sheep and horses from Lingnan also crossed Yanshan one after another. He was relocated by the company to the Xilin Gol grassland in Chahar. Squadrons were formed there, and countless nomadic squadrons were formed, which have been nomadic in various parts of the Xilin Gol grassland for more than a year.

Each squadron is equipped with more than 100 young men between the ages of 15 and 55. In addition, a large number of women, old and young, migrated with the nomadic squadron to graze and take care of the large number of cattle, sheep and horses assigned to their squadron. Every ten nomadic squadrons form a nomadic brigade, and ten nomadic brigades form a nomadic detachment, dotted throughout the Xilin Gol grassland of Chahar.

These Lingnan herders have been transformed by winter training in the Far East, and they are completely different from the traditional herdsmen on the grasslands. Whether it's organizational discipline. Or the combat effectiveness is no longer the same.

The well-organized grassroots herdsmen in the Far East have long since broken the class structure of the steppe. At the very least, exploitation has been eliminated, and ordinary poor herders are no longer slaves of the tribe. In particular, after the all-round political and ideological education of the Far Eastern Company during the winter training period, the grassroots herdsmen in the Far Eastern control areas have regarded the Far Eastern Company as their own tribe and have a strong sense of belonging.

Of course, the main reason. Or the Far East gave them a good life. Most of these herdsmen were ruined settlements on the steppe, and were rescued by the Far Eastern Company from the hands of the aristocratic Nayan. Since they annexed the Far East, as long as you work hard, you will be fed and clothed, even if the steppes suffer from the white plague. The elderly and children in the family will not starve to death in the winter.

The grasslands of this era were raging during the Xiaoice period, and the environment and climate were extremely harsh. All nomads must fight against nature if they want to survive. In order to survive, the tribes on the steppe plundered and killed as the eternal theme. Only by attaching to a powerful tribe can you survive.

In order to completely control the Xilin Gol grassland, Wang Yaowu even placed the headquarters of the Western Military Region in the south of Dalinor Lake. And requisitioned a large number of Mongolian herdsmen and foreign laborers, built several simple roads such as the Keshiketeng Department to the south of Linuoer Lake, etc., and every day there are a large number of standard four-wheeled carriages of the company, running back and forth on several simple roads.

For more than a year, the grassroots nomadic squadrons in the Far East have been encroaching eastward and northward. The main Mongolian cavalry division and the Mongolian militia division continued to attack with brigades as units, and many small and medium-sized tribes were gathered. Fought a few times with many surrounding tribes.

The Mongol legion, which was armed to the teeth by the Far Eastern Army, with the support of a reinforced regiment of the field division and a large number of combat support units, as well as the airboat troops, defeated the incoming coalition forces of the steppe divisions to the ground.

At the most, several large tribes in the north united with Mobei Mongolia and mobilized a large number of elite elite iron cavalry and armed herdsmen, enough for 100,000 people to control the strings. Although there are many people, in the face of the Mongolian legions of the Far Eastern Army, they are an unorganized mess. As soon as the two sides engaged, they were completely collapsed by the impact of the iron cavalry of the Far Eastern Army.

After this battle, the Far Eastern and Western Military Regions completely gained a firm foothold in Xilin Gol. However, Wang Yaowu was not satisfied, and continued to organize troops to attack everywhere, and with the support of the airship, he continued to loot and kill the surrounding grasslands, and captured a large number of cattle, sheep, horses and population.

In the face of the aggressive offensive in the Far East, countless Mongolian tribes around them all began to migrate west and north, and they no longer dared to attack the idea of pastures here. Before the second phase of the campaign of the Central Military Commission's plan to go north had even begun, the Western Military Region had already encroached on a large amount of pasture to the west. (To be continued.) )
