On a wharf along the Hunhe River in Shenyang, hundreds of river steam-deck barges are moored here, and puffs of black smoke fill the entire riverbank. Caravans sent by the Far East to trade in the steppes were generally sent by boat. The fleet traveled southwest along the Hunhe River, then into the Liao River and then north, until it entered the West Liao River, where it traded along the West Liao River in the Horqin Grassland near Tongliao in modern society.

In recent years, the Ministry of Commerce of the Far East has continuously sent caravans to the north by ship to trade with various departments of the grassland, exchanging the strong liquor, tea bricks, tea cakes, coarse salt, sugar, cigarettes, snuff, silk porcelain, fire and diesel lamps, iron pots and iron stoves and other commodities in demand on the grassland for horses, cattle, sheep, leather goods and wool of the major tribes.

The caravan was accompanied by two battalions of the Far Eastern Field Division, which were responsible for the security of the convoy and could also provide fire support to the Mongol cavalry battalion on the shore with twin water-cooled heavy machine guns and 70mm infantry guns on river deck barges.

The cavalry units that set out with the caravan this time were drawn from each Mongol cavalry brigade, making a total of six cavalry battalions. They will cross the Hunhe River in advance and head north to Tieling. After the Far East caravan traded with the Mongol tribes, the Mongol cavalry would escort a large number of cattle and sheep south down the river back to the pastures of the Far East on the north bank of the Liao River.

Six battalions of Mongol cavalry came to a ferry on the Hunhe River, where a large number of river steam deck barges were waiting, and the Mongol cavalry ≧dismounted ♀ one after another, led the war horses in order to the barge at the ferry, and then crossed the Hun.

After the six battalions of Mongol cavalry crossed the river, they began to gallop north in battalion units. These Mongolian cavalry were used to being casual on the steppe, and their temperament was still very wild. After more than a year of training in the Far East, although he has developed a habit of discipline, once he lets the horse gallop. The wildness in their bones will be released in an instant.

Since joining the Mongol Legion, they have been very satisfied with everything in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, but the only thing they can't stand is the discipline of the Far East.

In the first few months, the Central Military Commission put a lot of effort into correcting their loose style. The instructor's whip has been broken quite a bit. But these guys don't care about their thick skin and thick flesh, and the effect of confinement is not great.

In the end, there is no way to start with their food, and if anyone violates discipline, then don't eat. Moreover, the Mongol cavalry who looked good may have drunk a bowl of spirits. This is a hit on their death hole.

The Mongolian cavalry used to be forced to settle down on the steppe, and they had always had a meal but not a meal, and if they were cut off from food, it would be as if they were killed. What they couldn't stand the most was that if they followed discipline for a month, they could get a bowl of spirits. You must know that the men of the grassland are the best to drink, and they are especially able to drink. It's all people who died after seeing alcohol.

These two tricks were really good, and the discipline of the Mongolian cavalry regiment immediately changed greatly. But these Mongolian men are savage by nature, and blindly suppressing them is not a solution, so they have to find a place to vent.

Fortunately, they immediately found a channel for catharsis, that is, they fought with the indigenous cavalry in the Outer Northeast every day. The two sides already looked at each other unpleasantly, and they were both barbaric at all, and since the founding of the army, the private struggle between the two sides has not been broken. The Central Military Commission also took advantage of the situation to organize many confrontations between the two sides. Every assessment is like Mars hitting the Earth.

Moreover, later, the Military Commission introduced the three major ball games of football, basketball and rugby into various troops, so that these idle Mongolian men were painful. It can give vent to their excess energy.

The Mongolian Legion immediately fell in love with these three sports, and no matter how tired they were from training every day, they had to make time to play in the field for a while. As long as their team and the team of the Outer Northeast Indigenous Cavalry meet, it will definitely cause a big scuffle on and off the field, and every time there is a ball game in which both sides participate. can attract a large number of other troops to cheer.

What everyone went to watch was not a game, the teams on both sides were built relatively late, and the level was very average. The main attraction is the battle between the two sides on and off the field, which is really back-to-back and tense. Extremely hot.

There is still a significant difference between the founding idea of the Outer Northeast Indigenous Cavalry Brigade and the Mongol Legion. The Mongol cavalry was in the nature of a ranger, because they could run around the steppe for several days without dismounting, and even if the Far Eastern company wanted to conquer the Mongolian steppe, it had to rely on the Mongols.

The Outer Northeast cavalry belongs to the assault cavalry, and the ideal configuration of the horses of each Outer Northeast indigenous cavalry in the future is one Don hippopotamus and three Mongolian horses. The Don Hippopotamus is an assault horse prepared for them, responsible for charging head-on. Moreover, the indigenous cavalry of the Outer Northeast can also dismount and fight, and their comprehensive combat effectiveness is extremely strong.

If the frontal battlefield, the Mongolian cavalry is not the opponent of the indigenous cavalry of the Outer Northeast at all, but if it is a large-scale guerrilla attack on the grassland, it is difficult for the indigenous cavalry of the Outer Northeast to defeat the Mongolian cavalry. It's just that the Mongols in the steppe in this era have fallen apart and are no longer able to regain their glory. If there was a male lord in Mongolia that year, the Houjin Eight Banners would not have been able to conquer the steppe at all.

Six Mongolian cavalry battalions marched all the way north to the crossing of the Liao River in Tieling, crossed the Liao River by boat, and rested in a military camp on the opposite bank. The camp had already prepared shelter for them, as well as hot meals.

The next day, the ships of the Far Eastern caravan also arrived at the dock of the Liao River next to the barracks, and six Mongolian cavalry battalions mounted their horses and followed the fleet north on both sides of the Liao River. The fleet passed Qingyun Station, and then to the north is the vast grassland, where there are many large and small Mongolian tribes living along the river, and hundreds of caravans of ships have to stop constantly along the way, and set up a market for trading here.

The Mongol cavalry would send a large number of cavalry to the surrounding tribes to report the news, and when the tribes got the news, they would drive their horses, cattle and sheep to the Far East.

Bagen led nine cavalrymen from his squad and galloped across the vast grasslands. He and a group of Mongolian men shouted loudly, and the Mongolian only on a horse or on a woman is their coolest moment.

The people who are sent out to report are often the best classes of the table. Because the surrounding tribes are widely distributed, each tribe can only rush to the location of the mutual market the next day when they receive the news. Bagan: They also had to stay in one of the tribes.

The Mongol cavalry joined the Far Eastern Mongol Legion, and they were paid a monthly salary, which was not much, but it was enough for them to get through a few drunken addictions. And they will also save some to buy some gadgets from the Far East, and seduce Mongolian girls from various tribes when they go on missions.

So every time I go on a mission, it's a romantic trip for these Mongolian cavalrymen, and it can be said that the Mongolian girls who slept all over the tribes along the way. They are not the same as before, in the eyes of the herdsmen of various tribes, they are like local tyrants, even if they are small tribes, they must be polite when they see them. At night, a large number of Mongolian girls drilled into their tents, and double and triple flights were common. (To be continued......)
