[In the new January, the bandit leader shouted weakly...... Step up your game! 】

The sky is high and the clouds are low, it seems to be within reach, and the smoke and dust of the Gobi are churning, and they are connected with the clouds

"Do you have two legs? No! It's just two chickens! Follow the chicken bar in the middle and treat the horse as a woman's day! Let's not talk about the day, but I can't get up yet! Can your horses be cool? Accurate! The horses are unhappy, you are not facing an enemy, but one person and two horses! Of course you can't! ”

The knights of the brigade broke through the smoke and gathered under the weathered rocky mound, and a red-clad general was perched on the mound, shouting and cursing at these men.

"Galdan Tse said that the Han people ride horses, just like women wearing flowers, I think he is right! We Han people just can't deal with this thing on horseback...... It's all thanks to you! Just because you stupid people, those Dzungar barbarians look at us like women, and pay attention to the itchy asshole, this is a good opportunity! ”

The dragoon army was under control, and Wang Tanghe, the deputy governor of the Western Route Army and the commander-in-chief of Qinghai affairs, scolded his subordinates to the blood.

Under the leadership of Chen Songyue, the deputy commander of the capital, the officers and soldiers shouted in unison: "Bullshit! ”

Wang Tanghe roared: "Lao Tzu's words are bullshit, just look at your results in the next battle!" Don't play the trick again, 300 people beat 100 people, and let 60 go! ”

The crude combat mobilization and temperament were unusually in harmony with the roughness of the Gobi, and when Wang Tanghe, Chen Songyue and other high-ranking dragoons held a formal military meeting, everyone frowned and was full of gloom, but they did not match the blue sky at all.

It was March of the 11th year of the Holy Dao, and the war clouds were thick in Qinghai.

Although the Anglo-Qing Peace Agreement had been signed, Qinghai, Wusizang, and Western Xinjiang were not covered by the agreement. It is completely different from the situation of peace between the north and south of Jiangnan, Huguang and even Shaanxi, from Gansu to the west, beacons are everywhere.

During the reign of Yongzheng, the Manchus also made great progress in Qinghai. In the past, Dzungaria entered Wusi Tibet, and Garbi and Yue Zhongqi recovered Tibet with the support of Yinghua, and also brought Qinghai and Shuote Mongolia under their rule.

Qinghai and Shuote Mongol leader Lobzang Tenzin supported the Manchu Qing Dynasty to enter Tibet, originally wanting to replace the Dzungar Ministry to rule Uszang, but he did not expect that the Tibetans and the Dalai, Panchen and other monks and secular forces had the support of Yinghua and no longer allowed the Mongols to dominate Tibet.

On the other hand, Yongzheng made the alliance in Qinghai and completely dissolved Heshute Mongolia into a Manchu vassal. In the fourth year of Yongzheng, Luo Buzang Danjin was furious and rebelled, and was cleaned up by Nian Qianyao, Fu Erdan and Yue Zhongqi.

Originally, Dzungaria had been plotting against the Qinghai tribes, but after Alabutan fell ill and died, Dzungaria's attention turned to Kazakh, Russian and other enemies in the west, and the situation in the northwest seemed to have calmed down.

But this calm only lasted for two years, and it was dragged into the whirlpool of the Anglo-Qing Civil War.

Zhang Hanwan's troops entered Shaanxi and Gansu from Sichuan, forcing Fu Erdan to shrink the defensive line. Wang Tanghe entered Qinghai alone, and met with Galdan to seek to seize Qinghai. And Peng Shihan led the Yulin army from Shaanxi to Gansu, to take the gate of Western Xinjiang, Lanzhou and even Xining.

Originally, Yongzheng still wanted to gain a firm foothold in the northwest, and even had a plan to sell Qinghai to Junggar and liberate the northwest army to fight to the death with the Anglo-Chinese West Route Army. But before the plan could be implemented, it suffered a coup d'état in the Rehe Palace, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty was in turmoil.

Hongli came to power with the support of Li Shi, and the northwest naturally had no hope. The military strength shrank to the line of Wusu Yalitai, Outer Mongolia and Xi'an, and only wanted to hold the territory of the Kangxi era, and the northwest became a stage for the tripartite dance of Dzungaria, Qinghai and Shuote Mongolia and Yinghua.

Without the confinement of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the princes of Qinghai and Shuote Mongolia should have beaten gongs and drums, but unfortunately, they became fat meat for both Dzungar and Yinghua. If it weren't for the Manchu Qing Dynasty's secret support, Heshuote would have stepped forward again and entangled Heshuote Mongols, who had lost Luobzang Danjin and had no leader, and Qinghai Heshuote would have turned into historical dust. …,

Chahan Danzin has a broad vision and wisdom, and an arrogance that is unwilling to bow to Dzungaria. In his opinion, the decline of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was an excellent opportunity for Heshute Mongolia to stand on its own. On the one hand, he subdued the Qinghai tribes, and on the other hand, he raised the banner of "Oirat Khan", calling on the tribes of Turghut, Dulbert, and Turmut to come to the aid of restoring the glory of the Golden Family. 【1】

In addition to the Oirat Mongol tribes in Dzungaria, even the Mobei Mongols extended a helping hand to Chakhan Danjin, and in addition to the instigation of the Manchus, they wanted to contain the British and invade their territories in the north.

But in Qinghai, Chahan Danjin's enemy is only Dzungaria, at least that's how he sees it. Dzungaria still has a strong enemy in the west, and it is impossible for the army of Xingqi to attack, at most 20,000 or 30,000 people, while the Qinghai and Shuote departments, with a population of 200,000 or 300,000, can easily pull out 20,000 or 30,000 warriors to fight the enemy, and they are not enterprising enough to protect themselves. Once the Dzungars are defeated in Qinghai, the momentum will be greatly boosted, and there will be other tribes to vote, and the power will grow rapidly.

As for Yinghua......

"Those Han people with buttocks more tender than a woman's face are just used as prostitutes in the military camp......"

Chahan Danjin commented on the dragoon army operating in Qinghai, as for the Yulin army in Gansu in the east, it was contained by Mobei Mongolia, the road was far away, the supply was inconvenient, and the strength of the army was more than 10,000, so there was no need to be afraid at all.

Wang Tanghe, Chen Songyue and others had a stinky face, just because of the evaluation of their dragoon army by Galdantse Zero and Chahan Danjin, although they were not hit, they were not far away. And the big and small Ce Ling Dun Dobu, who was good friends with them, spoke more tactfully, "It's better for you to use more carriages, it's too difficult for you to fight on horseback." ”

Thinking about the faces of these Mongols when they said these words, Wang Tanghe and the others were overwhelmed with grief and indignation, and the mud horses looked down on people too much!

In the face of the facts, no matter how sad and angry you are, you can only press it in your stomach. Although the members of the Dragoon are selected by Wang Tanghe, the officers and soldiers come from a wide range of lakes, Guangzhou, and Sichuan, and there are very few Lingnan people, and the standard is superb equestrianism. can be compared with the Mongolians, the so-called "exquisite", that is, the level of a ten-year-old child. This is just equestrianism, and the skills of fighting right away are even more of a mess.

Wang Tanghe and the dragoon army have been fighting in Qinghai for more than half a year, and have experienced many small-scale horse battles, losing more and winning less, even if they win, they will not get any results at all, just like Wang Tanghe scolded just now.

The reason is that most of the Han dragoons are not yet adapted to fight with the people on horseback in the vast wasteland. The reason why Kangxi and Yongzheng were able to defeat the Mongols back then relied on the Mongols and artillery.

After arriving in Qinghai, Galdantse intensively dispatched men and supplies to prepare for a battle with the Heshute Mongols, and the dragoons were once regarded as an important help. But this section of Bl became familiar, and seeing that the dragoons were sparse and inconvenient to supply, and there was no artillery, Gardance beat a drum in his heart, and his original enthusiasm was fading. It is true that he can't invest too many troops in Qinghai, and he can't eat Heshute by relying on Dzungar alone.

Wang Tang pushed Luo Tangyuan together, pulled up the big and small Ce Ling, and won the last chance to cooperate. The two sides joined forces to launch an attack at Dulan Monastery to solve the nail of the left end of the Heshute Left Banner Zasak Luob Zangchahan, and this battle will determine the future of Yinghua and Dzungar joining hands in Qinghai.

What made Wang Tanghe and Chen Songyue frown was that the performance of the dragoons was still unbearable, and the prospects for the battle of Dulan Temple were not optimistic.

Chen Songyue said to himself: "I think...... It's safer to return to the true colors of the Dragoons. ”

Wang Tang was furious: "True colors!? At this time, let's talk about the true colors, it's too late! We all use riding guns and don't have much ammunition, so we have to rely on horses and sabers! ”…,

Chen Songyue's suggestion was to let the dragoons return to their original profession: mounted infantry, but this was not only inconsistent with Wang Tanghe's original intention of bringing a lone dragoon into Qinghai to hone into a brave iron cavalry, but also inconsistent with the reality that the dragoon army had changed from equipment, formation, and training to real cavalry.

The dragoons now have only 4,000 men, and the road to the east has not yet been opened, so they rely on the steep trails in Sichuan in the south to replenish their supplies, and the amount is very small. The musket also used a nine-year-old cavalry gun, which was shorter than the rifle, and not only did the army have less ammunition, but the artillery only had eight six-pound flying cannons, which could not withstand consumption at all if they were to be used as infantry. And in Qinghai, there are tribes recruited by Luo Tangyuan to supply, and there is no shortage of horses.

Everyone was in a low mood and had no time to think, and the horn of the distinguished guest sounded.

The person who came was the "former enemy commander-in-chief" of Dzungaria, Galdan Tsering's brother-in-law Luo Buzang Cheling, he commanded 7,000 people and the dragoon army to attack Dulan Monastery, and Galdan Tseling commanded 10,000 people in the rear, this was the last attempt of Galdan Tsering. If the main force of Heshute Mongolia cannot be drawn, and the combat strength of the Dragoon Army is still weak, Galdan Tsering has no intention of continuing to play.

"Rendezvous on the twenty-seventh at Harajur, well...... You won't be in time, will you? When we don't see anyone, we just turn back. ”

Luo Bu Zangche said proudly, and Wang Tanghe could hear the sound of his teeth clanging.

"I think it's better to sell these Han people to Heshuote, clothes, muskets, sabers, horse harness, and even iron pots for cooking are all good things."

After agreeing on the meeting between the two sides, Luo Bu Zangche Ling left, and on the way back, his subordinates said with a greedy face.

Luo Bu Zangche shouted: "Shut up! The Han people in the south are about to turn their faces, where are we going to make such fragrant tea? Where are so many good iron knives? ”

Then he sneered again: "Why do we need to do it, how many Han people who can't ride horses can survive in Dulan Temple?" ”

Naturally, the dragoons couldn't hear the curse of Luo Bu Zangche Ling, but their mood was as depressed as if they were under the weight of the curse.

Wang Tanghe gasped and said, "Fight!" It's nothing more than a dead word! ”

Luo Tangyuan came back, and when he heard this, he sneered: "Your king is dead if he doesn't die, how much can we people live?" We're here to get cheap, not desperate. ”

Wang Tanghe said anxiously: "But the teeth are too soft, and we can't get anything cheap, and when Galdance runs away, we can't stand in Qinghai anymore, won't most of the year's efforts be wasted?" ”

Luo Tangyuan also knew the situation of the dragoons, and in a head-on battle, the four thousand dragoons estimated that they couldn't even beat the two thousand Mongolian cavalry, and he sighed: "There is really no way?" ”

Wang Tanghe, Chen Songyue and the others spread their hands, they thought about everything they could, to significantly increase the combat power of the Dragoon Army in most of the month, it was a dream at all.

Luo Tang was far from at ease: "The canons have all been turned over?" The decree of the official family, the military order of the commander-in-chief, did not leave a word? ”

Of course, it is impossible for the orders of the emperor and the general command to miss a word, and the canon is even more familiar, the problem is that the battle regulations of the ・・・・・・ cavalry have to be written by the dragoons themselves, how can it be possible to find something usable in the original canon?

Just as he wanted to ridicule Luo Tangyuan for being a cat demon for too long, he forgot what was written in the canon, Wang Tanghe's eyebrows suddenly jumped: "Wait......"

Pinching his chin, Wang Tanghe paced back and forth, and everyone's eyes kept turning with his figure.

"The canon says that the principle of warfare is to concentrate forces, organize them effectively, and even give more weight to organization than troops. The more perfect and in-depth the organization, the stronger the combat power. The more homogeneous the composition of the arms and the simpler the mode of combat, the more such organizational power can be realized. ”…,

Wang Tang recited the terms of the canon that all the officers who had attended the Army Academy had grinded out their ears, and everyone showed disapproving expressions.

Chen Songyue shrugged his shoulders and said, "So with the large wide-sided musket array, the depth of the musket array has also been reduced from four rows to three rows or even two rows. ”

Wang Tanghe said again: "Even the navy is like this, arranging the battle line and trying to pile up as many artillery as possible on the front. ”

Chen Songyue's eyes lit up: "This is the principle!" Infantry, navy are like this, so what about our cavalry!? ”

Luo Tangyuan was too far away from the military, and felt that the statements on both sides were a little out of line: "How can the cavalry be the same? Isn't that only if everyone is proficient in equestrianism, everyone is a master of horse warfare, otherwise how can they fight against the Mongols, who are unparalleled in the world in riding and shooting? ”

Wang Tanghe and Chen Songyue said at the same time: "Why!?" ”

Chen Songyue was a little excited: "Why do we Han people have to compare their riding skills with them?" ”

Wang Tanghe took a deep breath: "Why do we Han people have to be one-on-one with them?" ”

Luo Tangyuan said dumbfoundedly: "Then what's the matter? ”

Wang Tang's eyes flashed, and he slapped his palm: "Our dragoons are not the cavalry of the past, our dragoons should have a new start!" "To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come (qpdancwm) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. [1: Oirat Mongolia is also the Ming Dynasty's Warat, the general name of Moxi Mongolia, mainly including Heshute, Dzungar, Dulbert, Juros and Turghut several large and some small departments, in the seventeenth century Dzungar became strong, almost unified Oirat Mongolia, but because Heshute Mongolia lived in Qinghai, it has never recognized the dominance of Dzungar Mongolia over Oirat Mongolia. Although Turghut had moved to the Volga River at this time, a small number remained in Qinghai. 】
