Chapter 532: Transforming the Herdsmen

This winter, the poor Mongolian herdsmen who were driven by the Far Eastern cavalry to settle in the Liaohetao will also undergo winter training. The grasslands during the Xiaoice River period were becoming more and more sad, with snow disasters almost every year, and the cattle and sheep of the tribe were frozen to death a lot every year, not to mention ordinary herdsmen.

These hard-pressed Mongols were driven to the south like cattle, and as soon as they arrived along the Liao River, they were forcibly purified. They were shaved and given uniform garments, which were then broken up and re-braided.

It wasn't until they each received a coarse corn tortilla that they settled down, having been terrified. Although the officers and soldiers of the Far Eastern Army were fierce, they did not abuse them, but kept shouting at them.

The squadron leader and instructor of each squadron were militiamen from the musket militia company, as well as five Mongolian herders who had performed well in last year's winter training, as squad leaders. Each brigade is also equipped with a political work group to carry out a variety of ideological education work in the brigade.

An important part of the Northern Plan was to carry out an agrarian revolution in the steppe, so that all poor herders would have their own pastures and flocks. Completely break the lordship system and slavery system that have existed in the steppe for thousands of years.

Unite all the poor herdsmen, under the leadership of the Far Eastern Company, to fight against the princes and nobles of the steppe. Once these poor herders have their own property, they will defend it to the death.

The cavalry corps formed in the Far East were all composed of the Mongolian proletariat, and they were all forced Mongol settlers. They have the most urgent needs for pasture, cattle and sheep. But they have no pasture, no herds of cattle, sheep and horses.

If you want to get this, you have to grab it from the hands of those nobles. Of course, the nobles will not be willing to be plundered and violated by others, and the only way to solve the problem is armed struggle.

A spark can start a prairie fire, these poor herdsmen of Mongolia. After receiving training and ideological education in the Far East, he will fight to the death with the princes and nobles of the steppe. At that time, the entire northern steppe will be bloody.

Although the land reform was not suitable for the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty in this era, it was the most suitable policy for the vast number of poor herdsmen in the northern grasslands. In order to completely solve the northern grassland, it is necessary to break the traditional organizational structure of the grassland.

As long as there are princes and nobles on the grassland, there are zài. Then they would never be able to conquer the steppe, and the Mongol nobles greatly appreciated the revenge of the generals.

Genghis Khan, also known as Temujin, lost his father's slaves and wealth as a teenager in a society of the jungle, leaving only nine horses and a few able-bodied younger brothers to help. The hard life taught him how to see the wind and steer the rudder. He took advantage of his father's friendship with the leader of the Kereh, Wang Khan, and worshipped Wang Khan as his adoptive father.

After his wife and stepmother were kidnapped by the Murbeg tribe, he informed Wang Khan's relationship and found a powerful steppe nobleman to cooperate with him as a backer and worship him as a brother. They jointly attacked the Murbeg and snatched his wife back. Temujin became a subordinate of Zamuhe.

Two years later, Temujin played the game of revenge for the first time, gathering some of his subordinates from Zamuhe to rob slaves, betraying Zamuhe, establishing his own power, proclaiming Khan with the encouragement of King Khan, and killing Zamuhe's younger brother for fighting for horses.

Zamuhe thus organized a large army to conquer. Although most of the historical accounts have been falsified, we can still know that. Temujin fled in defeat and joined his adoptive father, Wang Khan, as a thug, where he worked in obscurity for more than twenty years.

At this time, the powerful Tatar tribe supported by the Jin State went to the Han region in the Jin State to plunder the wealth, and the Jin State decided to change the object of support and sent Prime Minister Wanyan to find Wang Khan, the leader of the Kereh tribe. He was crowned king.

The Jin regime defeated the Tatar tribes, and Wang Khan and Temujin began to attack the Tatar remnants from behind. Completely exterminated the Tatar tribes. The Mongols routinely committed genocide against the Tatars, killing all men who were taller than a wheel. The women were assigned to the crowd as slaves. Genghis Khan skillfully used the power of Wang Khan to eliminate his own feud Murbeg tribe.

At this time. Wang Khan is old. Succession became a problem, and Temujin tried to snatch power from Wang Khan as his godson, causing a split between the two sides. Temujin led the Mongol-speaking men to flee. He was hunted down by King Khan and his son. After the loss of the army, the wolf bèi fled.

Wang Khan dominates the steppes and cannot be beaten. He turned against the Jin government and led a heavy army to attack the border of the Jin dynasty. was hit by the Jin Dynasty, which was still very powerful at the time, and returned with a crushing defeat. Genghis Khan attacked Kereh from behind, killing King Khan and his son. He mastered all of Wang Khan's men and became the biggest warlord in the steppe.

Temujin used the resources provided by the Jin dynasty to eliminate the forces of Naiman and Zamuhe. Obtained the return of the Hui and raided and destroyed the Karakhitan. Temujin dismantled the conquered tribes, divided them into slavery for his cronies, and proclaimed himself Genghis Khan, establishing a unified and fearsome Mongol Empire.

From the history of Temujin's development, it can be seen that Mongolian nobles such as Genghis Khan, who grew up in such a society, took the animal world as the norm of life. When the opponent is strong, if you can't kill the opponent, use the most humble and obedient attitude to stammer, deceive the other party's trust, and then look for an opportunity to kill them.

These "glorious" deeds were also highly respected by the Mongolian aristocracy. They used these deeds as teaching materials to teach their descendants how to oppose the guest and how to take revenge. There may be no shortage of good herdsmen in the grasslands, but the moral standards and behavior of those slave owners and aristocrats are no different from those of bandits and robbers in civilized society.

Historically, the way nomads deceived the material resources of the Central Plains Dynasty was to encourage other nomads to attack the Central Plains, making the Central Plains feel in crisis. Then with the help of the materials of the Central Plains, he strengthened himself, and when the Central Plains Dynasty weakened, he led the iron cavalry south to destroy the Central Plains.

Transforming the poor herdsmen on the steppe is the most important task of the Far Eastern Company's plan to go north, so the ideological education work of this year's winter training squadron is particularly important. Let the vast number of Mongolian herdsmen understand how the Mongolian princes and nobles oppressed and exploited them.

Why are the few nobles on the grassland so beautiful, they occupy the most beautiful women on the grassland, with vast pastures and countless cattle and sheep. However, these poor herdsmen are not fed and clothed, and they live a life of hunger and cold.

It is a brutal class struggle, and once the proletarians awaken, they will burst out with a terrible force. As long as we find a way to ignite the fire in the hearts of the poor herdsmen on the grassland, the whole grassland will be ablaze. If the hardships on the grassland become crazy, what awaits those grassland nobles will be a storm.

The fate of all the people on the grassland will also change, and the poor herdsmen who make up the vast majority of the grassland will have their own family pastures and flocks, and the end of those princes and nobles will be very tragic. (To be continued......)
