In the areas controlled by the two forts of Monk Yi, Xinghe and these two forts, as well as the Erlong River and the Daqingshan Forts, the adjacent Karaqin pastures were either directly abandoned, or the number of herdsmen was also reduced, and in these places, it was possible to ride for a day without seeing the herds and felt bags, and the places where Karaqin directly gave up were at least the size of two or three counties in the interior, and in the Mongolian steppe, that is, a small area, it did not hurt the overall situation, but it also showed the sincerity of the Karaqin side. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The meaning is obvious...... Karaqin is no longer involved in the war between the Tumut Department and He Yusheng!

This change is very noteworthy, and it is estimated that Xi Lingse and others may not know about the changes here.

I looked at the defense in the easternmost Xinghe Fort, and then returned to the central area from Jining Fort to Daheihe Fort, and then I went around with Kong Minxing to inspect the reclamation of farmland, of course, it was also necessary to look at the roads, water conservancy, military forts, piers, guards, cavalry, artillery, baggage soldiers, meeting with military officials and high-level officials in the company, and representatives of Han merchants everywhere and so on.

I also have to keep reviewing the official documents sent in from the Guannei, Zhang Han is in the grassland, there are a lot of things, and Yusheng's stall is getting bigger and bigger, the farthest place is far away in Taiwan, Zhang Han's things at hand are more than the Xuanda Governor in Yanghe City, and he is much busier than the Governor.

"That's right." Zhang Han said to the escorted officers: "It has penetrated into the hinterland under our control, and the captives are not soldiers, but merchants and peasants, and they can untie the noose, which is not good-looking and indecent after all." ”

"Yes, sir." The cavalry officer replied, "My subordinates will do it immediately." ”

The captives let out a low cheer, from the attitude of Zhang Han, the supreme leader, they could feel that although He Yusheng asked them to serve hard labor, at least they would not abuse them, many people were worried that they would work too hard and be exhausted to death in a few months, if this is the case, it is better to be killed directly, save suffering, now it seems that this kind of worry is not necessary.

Many people wanted to kneel down and thank Zhang Han, but they were stopped by the cavalry.

"Wen Lan," Kong Minxing suddenly whispered, "How did these cavalrymen pick them out?" ”

"How?"

"I feel that many people have evil on their faces, and they don't look like serious soldiers."

"Still a serious soldier." Zhang Han said: "They have more or less some problems, which is true. However, he still passed the test of He Yusheng and became a real soldier. Pick them out, the equipment is different from ordinary cavalry, is to call them responsible for harassment, guerrillas, escort prisoners, to their name is the chassars, their firepower configuration is very fierce, but the protection is not high, but originally they don't have to fight hard battles. ”

"I see." Kong Minxing's face showed a look of sudden realization.

Zhang Han smiled...... Of course, he didn't tell the whole truth to an old master like Kong Minxing.

The main task of the chasers is, to put it bluntly, four words: burning, killing and looting.

They are needed for Tumut and Banshengdi, and they are also needed for future wars in Mobei and Taobu, and even in the Western Regions. The war on the grassland is low-intensity, and the lightly armed and firepower and weapons are equipped with strong chasseurs can play a greater role than the lancers, and the cavalry is not bad, but Zhang Han and the military secretary still want to retain the military dignity of the cavalry...... Burning and looting on the steppe all day long, serious soldiers will also deteriorate, there is no need to take such a risk.

The chassars mainly pick out officers from the cavalry who were born as horse thieves, and then find some thorns in the departments who are ruthless and usually do not obey military discipline, of course, this army is still subject to strict military law control, as long as these guys want to exist in the Heyusheng system, military law is still an iron law that cannot be violated for them, even if it is burning and looting, it must be under the scope of the military order, dare to disobey or kill indiscriminately, privateers, will be severely punished.

The establishment of this army is the suggestion of Zhou Yao and Nie Lei, two regiment-level officers, Zhang Han agreed after a little consideration, and the military department also picked out the candidate as quickly as possible, the chaser now has only one company, after all, it is not easy to find a group of villains in Heyusheng, and in the future, it may shrink some surrendered northern captives, and then recruit some fierce horse thieves or bandits to join it, first carry out strict internal affairs and military discipline training, and then join the chaser team.

This cavalry team can also be regarded as a double-edged sword, and many people in the military department have doubts about their performance of tasks and observance of military discipline.

What moved Zhang Han was Nie Lei's opinion, since the burning and killing in the past two years was inevitable, in order to ensure the military honor of the main force and maintain strict military discipline, it was inevitable to establish such an army full of villains.

Zhang Han's biggest headache now is that he has not yet found a suitable candidate to lead this newly established cavalry team, Zhou Yao wants to lead the lancer regiment, which is more important, and the officers of the cavalry regiment are not very suitable...... There are already a lot of infantry officers in the cavalry regiment, Zhang Han's current idea is that the cavalry regiment is more focused on the training and strengthening of array and firepower output, the cavalry regiment can be greatly expanded, and the general riding skills can also be incorporated, this cavalry unit can be changed to a similar way of fighting the dragoon regiment, with the infantry musketeer fighting method with the horse mobile march, and the lancer regiment is a combination of cuirassiers and hussars, and then there are chassars, the mainstream cavalry arms in Europe from the 16th century to the 19th century, which can be regarded as completely configured.

Zhang Han is very self-aware, he knows that he is by no means a genius military commander, he may not have started military science, even the commander under his command may not be very smart, a group of porters and Lahu The officer corps may not be much stronger than the young officers studying in the current military academy, this army focuses on organization, equipment, training, firepower output, array, and these things are also Zhang Han's own memory and the actual situation on the Ming side, through years of experiments, gradually matured, It has become a complete system.

Since it has been proven to be very effective in military history, it is enough to use it, will a businessman of later generations be stronger and more powerful than those real military strategists in the entire history of military civilization in the past two hundred years, and he can come up with a completely new military system with a pat on his head?

At this time, smoke and dust were raised from the north, and a horse galloped from the north, and when he arrived at the place in front of Zhang Han, the horse hugged his fists and said: "My lord, the envoy from the north is here, please show me, where to meet them?" ”

Zhang Han smiled at Kong Minxing and said, "It's a trick again, last time I sent Old Man Zhao, and this time I don't know who to send." ”

Kong Minxing said with a relieved face: "When I decided to use troops against the grassland at the end of the year before last, I really didn't expect that it would be possible to reach such a point in less than two years. ”

Zhang Han said to Tang Ma: "Call them here, see you here." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Tang Ma is a young man from Banshengdi, because he has not been in the army for a long time, and the background is Banshengdi, now he can only do such a job as Tangma, he turned the horse energetically, his legs were clamped, the horse quickly galloped into the distance, the riding skills are extremely beautiful, leaving a string of cheers behind him.

Zhang Han and Kong Minxing talked that it is not necessary to carry out large-scale reclamation before the autumn harvest, but to build roads, build warehouses, transport fertilizer, and begin to pile up manure in the grassland, so as to prepare for a new round of reclamation from autumn to winter, and lay a good foundation.

By the spring of the fourth year of the Apocalypse, due to the abundance of manpower and the fact that there are no problems in equipment and logistics, the reclaimed wasteland may reach 600,000 mu, and by the fifth year of the Apocalypse, it should be more than 1 million mu.

This is still because of the need to build roads, build waterwheels, excavate water conservancy projects, and accumulate fertilizer.

Because the conversation was very important, Zhang Han was also engrossed, and it was not until the sound of dense horses' hooves came that he noticed that a cavalry team of thirty or forty men was approaching.

A company of chasers, plus a squadron of special agents, thirty or forty people in the north is no chance of winning, the key is that although these north captives are armored, but there are no weapons on their bodies, but some people carry short riding bows, it seems that they are only used to prevent wolves from hunting along the way, they show that there will be no bad intentions, but the chasers still surrounded the past, stopped most of the people, and only asked a northern captive leader to ride over.

"It's Batteltaiji." Jiang Yi, who was standing beside Zhang Han with a horse, had sharp eyes and recognized it at a glance.

Battle means hero in Mongolian, this name is used to a very high degree, many Mongolians like to give children this name, and the Bartle in front of him is already a dying old man, the weather is getting hot, he is still wearing a thick leather jacket, wearing a red tasseled hat on his head, and a belt around his waist.

"Old Bartel, why did Xi Lingse invite you out."

With a smile on his face, Zhang Han stepped forward and made a gesture of welcome.

Battle is the late Wubu Taiji Namur's partner Taiji, Zhang Han has been to Wubu many times, they have long been familiar with each other, and the friendship is not bad, this old man has the fierceness of the Mongols, but also the uncivilized barbarism, but at the same time, there is also the simplicity of the first two symbiosis and the sincerity and friendliness of acquaintances and friends.

"No way...... Old Battle took off his hat, pressed his right hand to his chest, and bowed to Zhang Han on his horse.

The people around were almost dumbfounded, a serious Mongolian Taiji, a Mongolian nobleman with noble blood, an old Taiji with a drooping beard and white eyebrows, and a serious salute to a Han descendant!

Zhang Han first took a sign, and then a wonderful feeling came to his heart.

This is the first Mongolian Taiji to bow his head like himself, and it is not the kind of small Taiji on the periphery, it is a serious member of the Golden Family of Genghis Khan, who has formed an ally with the five Taiji Namur and is also one of the descendants of Dayan Khan, saluting himself!
