Listening to the evaluation of this little beauty of the grassland, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but laugh. The days when the Mongol cavalry swept the world are long gone. Not to mention how awesome the cavalry of the European powers is, even their own 10,000 guards cavalry is enough to level Mongolia! Even Genghis Khan's cowardly Xue army could not resist the wall-like impact of the regular heavy cavalry in modern times.

The prairie beauty pouted, "Isn't it funny?" Your Majesty, do you think I don't know the Napoleonic Emperor's Guards, the Russian Emperor's Cossack Cavalry, the Queen of England's Guards Cuirassiers, and the Polish Hussars? Butler Aledley has already told me these days. But I, a little woman, were sure to trade her life for three European heavy cavalrymen riding such Arabian horses. ”

The little girl's martial arts are so high! Zhu Jishi turned his head to look at him, and said in his heart: "It's not like a very powerful appearance, even if it can be estimated that it is the level of Su Yuniang and Zhou Xiuying, can you kill three European heavy cavalry?" Those are all strong men who have been rigorously trained! No, someone has to tie her up tonight and ride again, uh, it's kind of evil, but safety is the most important thing! ”

The little girl on the grassland looked at Emperor Zhu's expression becoming more and more evil, but she didn't think about it, but said seriously: "Your Majesty the Emperor, the little girl is not joking, when the little woman broke through from Kulun, she personally killed six vests of Yixin Zhenghuang Banner!" ”

What a master! Zhu Jishi said in his heart, this Aledley actually reported that Oyuntana did not have advanced martial arts, which was really dereliction of duty. No, you'll have to be handcuffed and shackled tonight......

However, the next sentence of Oyuntana made Emperor Zhu realize that this Oyuntana really has a little military talent.

"Of course, the martial arts of those six Yellow Flag vests are much stronger than my little woman, I don't know how much stronger. But the weapons they use are not good. Only spears. And I used two six-shot pistols sent by Zeng Guofan! Within 20 steps, even the first Mongolian warrior can't stop it, so I can't do those European heavy cavalry all have martial arts that can catch bullets? ”

It's not, no matter how good your martial arts are, you're afraid of foreign guns! Didn't Saigo Takanaga and Matsudaira Kanyu defeat the first Manchurian warrior with two pistols?

Oyuntana saw Zhu Jishi's smile retract, and knew that the other party was listening carefully, so she became more and more energetic: "The charge of the heavy cavalry may be really powerful, but what are the chances of 100 cuirassiers against 100 light cavalry riding Mongolian horses with revolvers?" As long as those 100 light cavalry can fire six shots in a row within 20 paces of the heavy cavalry, how many cuirassiers do you think will survive? ”

This seems like a problem. Zhu Jishi nodded, he also knew that the Colt pistol was powerful, so he also equipped the guards cavalry with this weapon. However, the combat ideas of the Guards cavalry were all cloned from France, and the officers did not think much of the pistols, believing that the cavalry should rely on spears and sabers and fierce charges to win. Therefore, there was no horseback shooting in the combat training subjects of the Guards Cavalry.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the French cavalry combat ideas, because the cavalry on the European battlefield basically does not fight alone, and generally coordinates with artillery and infantry. For the heavy cavalry, their only mission was to charge, charge, and charge. It doesn't matter if there is firepower or not, if any commander wants his army to gain more firepower. It would be better to have more cannons than to have cavalry carry pistols into battle. But. Fighting in the Mongolian steppes or even in Siberia, it is likely that there will be a pattern of cavalry and cavalry training alone.

Seeing Emperor Zhu's contemplative expression, the grassland girl blushed with smugness on her face, and continued: "And your Arabian horses are too delicate and difficult to serve, ordinary pasture grass can't support them at all, and a horse actually eats oats, wheat bran, corn and bean cake, which is better than a Mongolian nobleman." Such horses are in Europe and in the Central Plains. But not in Mongolia, which has been a bitter cold land since ancient times, and there is no other production in the land except grass, and your delicate horses will definitely not survive in Mongolia. In addition, the endurance of the Arabian war horse is too poor, and it can only be used for sprinting and running short distances, and in the vast Mongolian steppe, long-distance running for several days and nights is an extremely common combat mode. ”

Really, there is some truth in what this little Mongolian lady said......

Zhu Jishixin said that it seems that if you want to conquer Mongolia, you must first ride a Mongolian mare, and the method of marrying and building temples by Manchus is really useful.

"So what cavalry should I use to destroy Yi Xin?"

"Of course, it's a cavalryman on a Mongolian horse! In Mongolia, horses are not worth anything at all, and there are ones in the steppe, which can be easily obtained from herders. So no one will treat horses as if they were masters, and they don't need such expensive horses. ”

The steppe girl is talking about the common sense of the Mongolian steppe, and the cavalry is a "noble army" in most areas of the world, but it is not worth anything in Mongolia.

"In Mongolia, cavalry must first be able to run, and cavalry that cannot run thousands of miles in one go cannot fight in the steppe at all. Yi Xin's Eight Banners cavalry can't run, so they can't dominate the grassland at all, if there is Genghis Khan in Mongolia now, no, there is a hero like Geldan, Yi Xin would have lost his life on the grassland a long time ago. ”

"Running thousands of miles in one breath......" Zhu Jishi said in his heart, his cavalry really did not have such a marching ability. However, in the future, it seems that this kind of army that can run away will be needed to fight with the Russians in Central Asia and Siberia!

"That's right, it's to run thousands of miles in one go! As long as there is the support of the steppe herdsmen, the emperor will have enough horses to make your army ride on horseback, whether it is infantry or cavalry! ”

Oyuntana's eyes widened, and an excited expression appeared on her face: "At that time, the army under His Majesty will be like our Mongol ancestors, riding Mongolian horses, driving cattle and sheep, sweeping through the Russian Empire like a gust of wind, all the way to Europe, to Vienna, to Paris. Put the most beautiful queens and princesses in all of Europe and send them back to heaven with chains, let them be your slave girls, and whip them hard......"

How could this woman's mind be so impure? Zhu Jishixin said, but the method is quite good...... Well, of course, instead of chaining other people's queens and princesses back as slave girls, they used cheap Mongolian horses to turn the Ming army from two legs to four legs, and then used walking cattle and sheep as military rations, just like the Mongols did in the early years when they crossed Eurasia. At the same time, it is necessary to form a cheap cavalry on Mongolian horses with Colt pistols, and let them use their pistols against the Cossack pikes!

"Speaking of which, is it useless to build the Guards Cavalry at great expense?" Zhu Jishi muttered to himself. This Guards cavalry is really not cheap, and tens of thousands of military horses with Arab blood alone cost tens of millions of silver dollars! And I have to spend millions of yuan every year to raise horses, which is really a loss to my grandmother's family.

"How can you say it's useless?" Oyuntana stretched out her hand and gently stroked the horse under her crotch, "As long as the cavalry of the guards under His Majesty appears in the Horqin grassland, the Khans of Southern Mongolia will surely prostrate at your feet and send their most beautiful daughters to your harem." ”

Do you want someone to send your daughter again? This emperor is really getting more and more corrupt! However, there is some truth in this, it is a bit of a problem for the Guards cavalry to fight a long distance, but it is enough to control the Horqin grassland. The Horqin Mongol tribes could not find an army that could withstand the cavalry of the Guards.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jishi already had a general idea of the steps before and after the Battle of Pingmeng. First Mo Nan, then Mo Bei, first Horqin, then Chahar. Use the Guards cavalry to deter Monan, eradicate all the tribes that dare to resist, and then gather the Mongol tribes in Chengde, let them respect themselves as the Great Khan of Mongolia, and get the title of commanding Mongolia. Then let the Mongols send people to help them train the cavalry infantry and the light cavalry using the Colt pistol, so that they can form an expeditionary force that can march long distances, as long as they can put more than 100,000 troops into Central Asia and Siberia, the Ming can expand the territory.
