Chapter 411: Inciting Hatred
After the Military Council presented its plans, all the members present at the meeting fell silent. I really don't say I don't know, but I'm shocked when I know. Such a cruel environment has created such a cruel nation.
In fact, since ancient times, nomads in any region have followed the law of the jungle. Killing men taller than the wheels is a common trait of all nomadic peoples.
Wang He said with a worried face: "Then do we have to have a follow-up method for the Mongols?" If this nation of the majestic grassland is really made strong, it will be a disaster to the northern part of the Central Plains sooner or later. ”
Gao Jianguo waved his hand and said: "The decline of the nomadic cavalry is mainly due to the advent of the industrial age and the emergence of a large number of machine guns, tanks and aircraft, which finally withdrew from the stage of history. That's not to say that the cavalry is no longer good, but the way the nomadic cavalry fights is already backward.
Modern cavalry played no small role in both World War I and World War II. However, the nomads' way of riding and shooting and fighting with flexible mobility can no longer adapt to the rhythm of modern warfare in the future. So even if the Manchus did not adopt such a desperate method, the Mongol nomads were doomed to decline. ”
Li Yukun said with a smile: "The characteristics of nomads are flexibility, long-distance running, and warfare, of course, there is no problem in this era, but in the context of modern warfare, riding a horse or riding a shooting attack is nonsense in the face of strict machine gun fire and artillery fire." In modern cavalry, war horses are just a carrier, and the logistical needs of the troops cannot be solved simply by plundering. ”
Gao Jianguo nodded and said with a smile: "For the nomads in Mongolia, we have to use them with the mentality of utilization. At least this generation, they cannot be expected to become warriors loyal to our Far East. They were different from the Japanese samurai because Japan in this era did not have a concept of a state. The tradition of the samurai in Japan is to be loyal to the head of the family, and it is passed down from generation to generation, even if the head of the family is down, they will still defend it to the death.
But don't have much hope for the nomads, if you want them to serve the Far East, you have only a steel knife in one hand and a whip in the other. And put a great deal of wealth in front of them. Take advantage of their greedy nature to be driven by us.
When Genghis Khan swept Eurasia, he adopted a brutal policy of killing and plundering to stimulate the fighting spirit of the Mongol tribal cavalry. The nature of the steppe peoples, who are not engaged in production and concentrate on plundering, determines that it is impossible to live and work in peace and contentment on their own land.
They resemble a criminal gang that has been temporarily united. If you don't continue to rob other peoples of their wealth, you will soon be divided and killed by each other. No matter how glorious the history of nomads, without exception it ended in division.
Genghis Khan, of course, was well aware of this. In order to get rid of the fear of infighting among his accomplices after the successful robbery, Genghis Khan continued to plunder and massacre other peoples throughout his life. Trying to use the suffering of other nations to avoid internal fire and harmony among their own nations. As a result, the people of China and the world have suffered an unprecedented disaster in history. ”
Everyone listened to Gao Jianguo's words. I thought about it. The Mongols in modern society have been almost destroyed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they have long lost the wildness of the steppe wolves. But this era is different, the Mongolian nomadic tribe on the steppe is a group of hungry wolves, although now the Mongolian steppe is no longer the glory of Genghis Khan, but no matter how weak the wolf, it is also a group of sinister and cunning creatures. I don't know when I'll be able to bite back when I'm strong.
Wang He thought for a moment and said, "How is the Military Commission going to arm the Mongolian herdsmen, or in the form of a tribe?" ”
Gao Jianguo shook his head and said, "We are going to establish the Far Eastern Mongolian Cavalry Corps. With brigades as units, each brigade has six cavalry battalions, and there are no combat, logistical support units. Equip them with a double-barreled smoothbore cap gun with a firing range of 50 meters. The caliber is larger than that of an ordinary arquebus, and only with our gunpowder can we guarantee that a lead bullet can be shot at a distance of 50 meters. Because the buckshot was too large, gunpowder of this era was used. The firing range may be only thirty meters. There are also fire caps that must also be provided by us.
In peacetime, they still have to maintain the nomadic cavalry as the main means of attack. Firearms are used only at the stage of the final assault. We will select some of the Mongol captives who are living in hardship and let them become the first armed herders of the company for simple training.
In the future, the company will use loans to provide them with tents, cattle, sheep and horses, and basic daily necessities, but they will have to rely on themselves to go all the way west and north to grab the pasture. They will provide the company with a certain number of cattle, sheep and horses every year. Repay the company's loans, and the interest on their loans is very high. ”
Li Yukun continued: "We will send some political workers to give them ideological education. The main direction of education is the class struggle. The general content is that all the poor herdsmen on the grassland are class brothers, and the reason why everyone is so poor is because of the oppression and exploitation of them by the evil grassland nobles, and all the poor herdsmen on the grassland should join hands to defeat the aristocratic ruling class and the exploiting class of the grassland.
Call on all the oppressed herdsmen on the grassland to take action and rob all the pastures, cattle and sheep, and women in Nayan. Hehe...... You can also carry out some activities to remember the bittersweet and make the scene as sad as possible, so that the poor herdsmen present can empathize. The ultimate goal is to create an enemy for them, and this enemy is the nobles of those tribes in the steppe. ”
Gao Jianguo also smiled and said: "These poor grassland herdsmen, after our all-round political and ideological education, will inevitably plant a fire in their hearts, as long as there is a suitable opportunity, they will rise a raging flame, this is not a spark to start the prairie fire, haha......"
Song Tao also laughed and said: "What kind of ideological education are you, it is obviously to incite hatred, implant hatred of the rich in the hearts of those bitter herdsmen, and lead those bitter herdsmen to lose their rationality, their hearts will inevitably be distorted, this is Chiguoguo's hatred for those tribes." If the herdsmen of the grassland are really stirred up, then the grassland will be lively. ”
When Gao Jianguo heard this, he immediately laughed and scolded: "Don't talk nonsense, what incites hatred, aren't those Nayan of the grassland tribe slave owners?" Didn't they exploit the poor? We are not inciting but guiding, so that they can have a correct world view, and our Far Eastern Company will be the masters of the vast number of poor Mongolian herdsmen. Haha......"
As the Mongol Tatars were tortured at the hands of the overseas brigade ruffians for more than a month, the officers and men of the overseas brigades began to evacuate one after another, and the task of guarding the prisoners was taken over by the soldiers of the field division. Along with the fighters of the field division came a large number of political workers. They will go deep into the Mongolian Tatars and carry out all kinds of ideological and educational work.
Bagan is now a squadron leader in charge of a hundred people, which is a centurion if he is in the tribe.
He had been purified and became an honorable foreign laborer in the Far East. He was dressed in a blue and white coarse cloth overalls with vertical stripes, and a large-brimmed hat on his head. He wore a canvas armed belt around his waist, a leather whip on his left side, a wooden stick on his right, and a brass whistle on his chest.
Wearing this "cadre" costume every day, let alone shaking up. While he continued to pretend, he became more and more serious about his work, and managed his Mongolian Tatars well.
There are now two squad leaders in their squadron, both of whom were personally selected by him, and enjoy the same "cadre" treatment as him. Don't underestimate their status as "cadres". That's the most trusted person of the Han people. Bagen could really feel a kind of jealousy in the eyes of those Mongol captives.
Since the departure of those vicious Han masters, he and his Mongol captives have lived much better. Although the newcomers to the Han are also very fierce, at least they will not find fault with them every day like those people before.
Moreover, the treatment of the Mongol captives was much better, although they could not be as full as they were "cadres", but they could get two cakes and a bowl of vegetable soup for two meals a day.
The ten most active men in each squadron will be rewarded with a salted fish, and they will eat cakes and vegetable soup as they like. This also stimulated the love of the Mongol captives, and they desperately expressed their feelings, thinking that they could eat a salted fish and eat cakes.
And the food of these "cadres" has also changed a lot, Bagen has a salted fish every day, and he can eat a few pieces of whale meat every once in a while. Bagen is very satisfied with his current life, relying on such a powerful tribe, maybe this can mix a grassland and make that face in the future.
Once the ambition thing germinates, it will quickly take root in your heart, Bagen is so big that he is forced to be a hard one, he used to just think about mixing a few full meals, but now this thing already wants to be that face.
Bagan thought for a moment about the good days ahead, then turned around, raised his whip and whipped it at a lazy Mongolian tartar, and whipped the guy all over the ground, screaming and screaming.
After a few whips, Bagan felt more refreshed.
He kicked the guy hard again, and scolded: "You lazy guy, you know to be lazy every day, if I see you lazy again, I will let the Han master hang you." ”
Bagan drove the Mongolian Tartar away and continued to patrol the horse farm. Waiting for war horses is a very hard thing, although now they have more than a thousand Mongol prisoners here, but the Far East raided the Liaohetao, and got back a large number of war horses, and this horse farm has also been divided a lot.
Suddenly, Bagen looked back and saw a few Han masters coming over, he hurriedly ran up, knelt down with a "poof", and directly kowtowed a few times, and shouted bluntly: "Collect the account!" (To be continued......)
