Chapter 277: The Great Destruction of Mongolia
The heavy rainstorm continued to fall, and everyone's body seemed to have fallen into water, completely wet. The rain dripped from their faces, blurring people's vision.&1t;/p>
Under the bad visibility of the heavy rain, Lin Danhan vaguely saw the Ming Dynasty's dragon flag in the telescope. His whole body was in a bad mood, as if he had fallen into an ice cave, and a cold spread from his heart.&1t;/p>
"Impossible, this is impossible!" Lin Danhan shouted in his heart in disbelief. He would rather believe that he was confused than believe that there was another cavalry hidden in Ming Kingdom. Didn't Huang Taiji and his group of Jiannu mean that the Chinese people only had 20,000 cavalry?&1t;/p>
Since the smuggling Shanxi merchants were taken away, Jiannu had been blinded by the Ming Dynasty and could only catch them. How could they know that the group of cavalry that Zhu Youxiao had trained before was attacking the bandits in Shaanxi and other places.&1t;/p>
Moreover, there were so many cavalrymen in the Ming Dynasty, and even the ministers in the court did not know, how could Jiannu know? This information obviously killed Lin Danhan, and this heavy rain even more killed Lin Danhan.&1t;/p>
It can be said that Lin Danhan is not lucky at all, so it is normal to be cheated.&1t;/p>
When Lin Danhan picked up the glasses to look at them again, the picture in the telescope was much clearer, which allowed Lin Danhan to clearly see the coming Ming cavalry.&1t;/p>
The next moment, Lin Danhan was desperate.&1t;/p>
Huang Taiji also noticed the movement there. He picked up the telescope and looked at it. Then he was frightened and urinated. His fat body twisted on the horse's back. He panicked and turned around and ran away with 20,000 Jiannu cavalrymen.&1t;/p>
He really ran away, and he ran neatly, leaving the Mongolians behind him as cannon fodder.&1t;/p>
Just like that joke, two people are chased by tigers, you don’t need to run faster than tigers, you just need to run faster than another person.&1t;/p>
With the attitude of a fellow Taoist who died of dying, Huang Taiji took the people away when he saw that the situation was wrong.&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan saw Huang Taiji running away, and immediately beat his chest and stamped his feet.&1t;/p>
What about your integrity? What about your integrity?&1t;/p>
Jiannu, who had no idea of looking back, seemed to be asking him with his actions. How much does a pound of integrity cost? Give me two pounds.&1t;/p>
Only then did Lin Danhan realize that Jiannu's savage and cunning capture of the group was completely unreliable.&1t;/p>
In order to take in these Jiannu, Lin Danhan did not hesitate to fight with the Ming Dynasty. As a result, the situation was just unfavorable, so he immediately turned around and sold them.&1t;/p>
I'm really blind, so I'll take them in!&1t;/p>
At this moment, Lin Danhan regretted it too much, but it was too late. The only thing he could do at this time was to run away!&1t;/p>
The 30,000 Ming cavalry suddenly came and rushed to the battlefield quickly. The surrounded Ming cavalry finally broke free from the encirclement. Then they immediately carried out a whole team and chased the retreating Mongols.&1t;/p>
"Your Majesty. The overall situation has been decided, and the Mongols have been defeated." Sun Chuanting looked at the situation on the battlefield with a telescope on the platform built by the central army, and then said happily to Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>
"..." Zhu Youxiao was speechless at this time. If the Mongolians did not commit suicide, it would be obvious that the Ming army would not have won so easily.&1t;/p>
"Your Majesty, you can now order the infantry to go out of the camp to charge." Lu Xiangsheng immediately suggested.&1t;/p>
"Just send a few divisions out. Don't mess up the formation in the central army. Then send the cavalry troops to bite the main force of the Mongols and don't give the Mongols a chance to assemble." Zhu Youxiao was not proud and shouted out any orders for the entire army to attack.&1t;/p>
If all the Ming army rushed out and a Mongolian cavalry broke out, it would be extremely happy and sad. It is raining now. The visibility itself is relatively poor, and there are hilly areas around it, and there is still a risk of being raided.&1t;/p>
"No."&1t;/p>
The gate of the camp was wide open, and tens of thousands of infantrymen broke out of the barracks at this time. They were actually just going out to sweep the battlefield. Many Mongolian cavalry with horses turned into two-legged infantry, scattered all over the battlefield. The Mongolian cavalry with horses were now being chased by the Ming cavalry and fled.&1t;/p>
Many Mongolian cavalrymen broke away from the large army in chaos and ran back to the tribe themselves. The entire Mongolian army soon fell apart.&1t;/p>
There are also some Mongolian cavalry who can't escape and simply surrender.&1t;/p>
On the previous battlefield, the Ming army was busy arresting the alive Mongolians. The wounded also carried out full treatment for humanitarian purposes.&1t;/p>
The so-called full-scale treatment is also a bit like a guinea pig.&1t;/p>
Under Zhu Youxiao's request, the Central Army has trained the first batch of surgeons. These foreign wounded people have become the best test subjects, such as arms, sawing thighs, taking lead bullets, and transfusions.&1t;/p>
In the bloody surgical operation, these surgeons are making rapid progress based on the basic theories proposed by Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>
However, the wounded were a little miserable because the research on anesthetic drugs has not yet been followed, so I can only use acupuncture to anesthetize. The effect is OK, but sometimes it doesn't work.&1t;/p>
At the same time, the infantry began to clean the battlefield and carry various dead bodies.&1t;/p>
Some people and horse corpses, many of them were bombarded with guns and were completely unrecognizable. The tragic situation made some new recruits in the Central Army vomit. This is how people are. When faced with those nauseous things, they get used to them and their nerves naturally become thicker.&1t;/p>
In the evening, it was finally raining. A sunset revealed half of the head, illuminating the clouds in the sky into golden yellow.&1t;/p>
Looking at the brilliant sunset, Zhu Youxiao remembered Li Shangyin's poem.&1t;/p>
"The sunset is extremely beautiful, it's just near dusk."&1t;/p>
But Zhu Youxiao didn't know whether this poem was suitable for the Ming Dynasty or for the Mongolian Dynasty. But there was no doubt that Lin Danhan was like this sunset that was about to set. After this defeat, he could no longer pose any threat to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
The Mongols' great defeat not only made them lose the royal city, but also made Lin Dankhan's prestige plummet. The Ming Dynasty could already disintegrate Lin Dankhan's rule over the grassland.&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan was chased by the Ming cavalry all the way out of the east of the Daxinganling Mountains and fled to the grassland. When he fled to the grassland, there were only less than 50,000 Mongolian cavalry left beside him. The others died and scattered.&1t;/p>
The next day, Zhu Youxiao entered the Mongolian royal city. This so-called royal city is actually much simpler than the Ming Dynasty city. It is only equivalent to a random small city in the Ming Dynasty. It is even worse than.&1t;/p>
There was no Mongolian in the Mongolian King City at this time, and all the Mongolian tribes were transferred to the grasslands in the west in advance.&1t;/p>
"It seems that Lin Danhan has been ready to retreat before, but unfortunately he was impulsive. Otherwise, the battle with Mongolia would not have been able to decide the overall situation so quickly." Sun Chuanting said, looking at the empty Mongolian royal city.&1t;/p>
"That's true for the reckless man." Lu Xiangsheng commented. Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood and said, "Haha! It seems that in a few days, I can go back to Beijing. I'll leave it here to my dear friends."&1t;/p>
"Your Majesty, you might as well wait a few more days to bring some spoils back." Sun Chuanting said.&1t;/p>
"This is a good idea, I don't know how much spoils Wang Guoxiong and Li Wei can rob." Zhu Youxiao was waiting for it and asked at the same time: "Have the results of yesterday been counted?"&1t;/p>
"Your Majesty, it's almost done, and it'll be fine later." Lu Xiangsheng replied. As he was speaking, he reported the statistics outside.&1t;/p>
In the battle yesterday, nearly 50,000 Mongolian cavalry were wiped out, including more than 4,000 prisoners, and the rest were all killed on the battlefield.&1t;/p>
More than 2,000 cavalrymen were killed on the Ming army. Zhu Youxiao felt a pain when he saw this battle damage. However, such battle damage brought about a huge territory in the entire Northeast region, which can only be said to be worth it.&1t;/p>
It's really worth it.&1t;/p>
Northeast China's northeastern region is huge, in addition to the three northeastern provinces, it also includes the eastern region of Inner Mongolia in later generations. Now it has defeated Mongolia, and the eastern region of Inner Mongolia in later generations has also been targeted by Zhu Youxiao.&1t;/p>
In this area, there are nearly 400 million mu of arable land resources and nearly 700 million mu of pasture. At this time, the Ming Dynasty opened less than 100 million mu of arable land in the Northeast region. The potential for opening is very huge.&1t;/p>
But in the past few days, the Russians have not expanded to the northeastern region, and the arable land, pastures and forest areas in the northeastern region will also be from the Ming Dynasty. However, the areas too northern regions are too cold, so there is no need to rush to open them all for the time being. You can first open those resources with higher value, such as gold mines.&1t;/p>
Zhu Youxiao waited in the Mongolian royal city for three days, and then there were cavalry to take back the captured Mongolian soldiers. Three days later, the number of captured Mongolian cavalry had risen to more than 40,000.&1t;/p>
For these prisoners, Zhu Youxiao implemented a policy of distinguishing treatment. As long as it is not the Tumote tribe directly under Lin Danhan, as well as those large tribes, Mongolian soldiers and Mongolian nobles from other small tribes will be released.&1t;/p>
And inform them that as long as they are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty and obey the Ming Dynasty's control, they will be distributed to the grassland, and each male is given to the grassland for 5,000 acres. And the Ming Dynasty promises that they will never be taxed and trade will be opened to them.&1t;/p>
The policy of using Mongolia to control Mongolia officially begins.&1t;/p>
The focus of this policy is to give benefits to the Mongolian nobles, and at the same time divide the benefits. Just imagine, a group of small Mongolian tribes exploited by Lin Danhan will not have to be exploited by Lin Danhan after they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty did not impose taxes on them and obtained a large amount of pastures. Will they still be willing to return to Lin Danhan's rule?&1t;/p>
The Ming Dynasty did not need to rely on taxation to exploit the Mongolians, just trade. But Lin Danhan could not do it, he had to collect taxes. So such measures were impossible for Lin Danhan to follow.&1t;/p>
But there are still direct tax collections. However, this tax will be collected by the Mongolian nobles, and the collection will be collected by the Mongolian nobles. This will give benefits to the Mongolian nobles and let these Mongolian nobles help the Ming Dynasty maintain its rule.&1t;/p>
So what should we do if these small tribes rebel after subduing the Ming Dynasty?&1t;/p>
This is easy to deal with, just suppress it!&1t;/p>
These small tribes are large in number and do not belong to each other, and their lives are very good. Even if one or two small tribes of Mongolian nobles rebelled, other Mongolian nobles would not be willing to obey these rebellious Mongolian nobles. If they obeyed those rebellious Mongolian nobles, wouldn't this mean that they entered a system ruled by the Mongols, then the interests of these Mongolian nobles would inevitably be damaged.&1t;/p>
Moreover, under the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to pay taxes to the higher authorities, and ordinary Mongolian herders can be exploited. Where can I find such a good thing? And with money, I can spend money in the Ming Dynasty and live in the flower world and enjoy life. Even if someone rebels, the Mongolian nobles will take the initiative to help the Ming Dynasty suppress the rebellion.&1t;/p>
Everything is just a benefit.&1t;/p>
What Lin Danhan can't give, Daming can give.&1t;/p>
While giving benefits to Mongolian nobles, by allowing these Mongolians to be disobedient, there will be no problem of rebellion as a large group.&1t;/p>
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao only let people release Mongolian soldiers from small tribes and only accept those small tribes that surrender. It is to avoid the appearance of a Mongolian tribe with too strong power within the jurisdiction. If a Mongolian tribe with too strong power appears, if it suddenly gets full and is supported to rebel, it will not be so easy to suppress.&1t;/p>
If you change it to hundreds of small tribes, it would be very simple.&1t;/p>
At that time, no one of these Mongolian nobles would accept each other. It doesn’t matter if there were a few people who wanted to rebel after being full, and it would be very easy to suppress them. Moreover, the Mongolian nobles in small tribes would not be able to rebel as long as they were not kicked by donkeys.&1t;/p>
Of course, the Ming Dynasty also had to ensure the interests of those Mongolian herders, which would limit the tax draw amount of Mongolian nobles. In this way, with enough grassland, both Mongolian nobles and Mongolian herders could live a peaceful life.&1t;/p>
A 5,000-acre grassland can raise 5000-acre sheep, but in order to protect the grassland, Zhu Youjiao decided to introduce a policy that 200-acre grassland must be vacated for pasture rest every year. This will avoid excessive grazing and prevent the grassland from desertification. Each herder raises 300-acre sheep every year, and even if it is taxed by the Mongolian nobles, his life will be good.&1t;/p>
Those Mongolian nobles joined the rule of a tribe of 1,000 males, and then a 10% tax could get 30,000 sheep.&1t;/p>
The most important thing is that after these Mongolian tribes surrender to the Ming Dynasty, their pastures will be fixed. There will no longer be a major transition in spring and autumn.&1t;/p>
In the past, these Mongolians had to make a major transition in spring and autumn, because the grassland was a world where the strong prey on the weak. Mongolian herders must join forces so that they will not be destroyed by other tribes.&1t;/p>
But the grassland is very large. If so many livestock are concentrated together, it is necessary to continue to nomadic. If it is not nomadic, it will not be able to raise so many livestock. The annual output of grass per mu of land on the grassland is only about 100 kilograms.&1t;/p>
Such a nomadic way actually cannot make full use of pasture resources.&1t;/p>
When the grassland is fixed, the Mongolians basically cannot rebel. Because the area of the grasslands is relatively large, the neighbors are far away. Mongolian herders will be scattered to various grasslands for grazing. Except for some activities that gather together every year, they will not gather at other times. If abnormal gathering occurs, it will immediately arouse the vigilance of the government.&1t;/p>
The Ming Dynasty seemed not to impose taxes on the Mongols, but it could easily cut wool from these Mongols. It was easy to achieve through trade. If the Mongolians did not have industry, trade would inevitably be impossible to be equal. Of course, it could not be too outrageous. On the surface, it was still relatively fair.&1t;/p>
Ordinary herders naturally have to spend money when they have money, and they will buy large quantities of products from the Ming Dynasty. The Mongolian nobles are the richest. They will consume even if they have money, and will go directly to the Ming Dynasty Pass to consume, or even settle down, and let their children receive education from the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
The wool is cut layer by layer, but it is relatively mildly cut and can be accepted at all levels. You can live a peaceful life.&1t;/p>
The core of this policy of using Mongolia to control Mongolia is the distribution of interests. The nobles of the small Mongolian tribes will no longer have to pay taxes to Lin Danhan. The Mongolian herders also obtained a large amount of pastures, a pasture that will always belong to them.&1t;/p>
As for allocating the pasture to the Han people for grazing, it is actually not very reliable.&1t;/p>
The Han people are not very professional about grazing, and they may not be able to withstand the loneliness on the grassland. Many things on the grassland are inconvenient, especially education. At the same time, it will take a lot of effort to kill the Mongolians, and the Mongolians may fight guerrilla warfare with the Ming Dynasty, which will be completely thankless at that time.&1t;/p>
And how long does it take to restore the grassland to produce? So there is no need at all. Besides, the barbaric habits of the Mongolians are not particularly serious, and they can still be managed.&1t;/p>
The most important thing is that this policy can not only stabilize and occupy Mongolia, but also have a relatively low cost.&1t;/p>
With the release of these prisoners, the news that the Emperor of Ming Dynasty broke the Mongolian coalition was like wings, spreading rapidly throughout the Mongolian tribes in every corner of the grassland.&1t;/p>
When those small tribes heard about the policies and treatments offered by the Ming Dynasty, many small tribes immediately joined their clans to join forces and drove cattle and sheep toward the Mongolian royal city. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
