Chapter 1953: We also come to play grass valley

While building the city in Urumqi, the Ming army carried out vigorous infrastructure construction around Urumqi, building beacon towers on the outermost periphery, and building villages and forts between the city and the big city.

In ancient times, the fortifications were built as "the big one is surrounded by nine hundred steps; the small one has five hundred steps. One fortress requires just over 130,000. The large fort is surrounded by two hundred steps, and the small one has a hundred steps. One The fort has a labor force of about 3,000. The walled city of the fort is surrounded by a walled city, so it is necessary to occupy the full terrain for everlasting. It is not a 900-step fort or a 200-step fort that can cover all the terrain, so it can be expanded as needed. The cliffs on all sides are dangerous, and the belly can be cut into a city, but the materials are sufficient as promised."

This Ming army not only built a large city, but also a large wall, a large fort, and strong fortifications. It was equipped with muskets and artillery to control the surrounding areas. In a blink of an eye, the original lush pastures of the Yeerqiang people disappeared!

If there is water in the grassland here, it is better than others. It is a rare and good place for the Yeerqiang people on Tianshan North Road. Today, it is occupied by the Han people, which makes Yeerqiang's popularity decimated and very annoyed. He wants to quickly cut down the Ming army. .

Soon they found the opportunity to besiege Ma Weixing's 5,000 people with 50,000 horses.

Ma Weixing and Ma Bao in the southeastern country are brothers. They are both powerful generals in the army. He was ordered to lead an army of 5,000 to sweep the area north of Urumqi and fight the Yeerqiang people on the way.

First of all, the two sides are scout wars!

Everyone sent rangers to act as scouts to spy on the enemy's military situation. The Yarkans' rangers suffered a great loss.

They couldn't get close to the Ming army at all. The Ming army fired its guns far away. The rifled rifle had a long range and high accuracy, and it hit the Yeerqiang people a lot!

Sometimes, the Yeerqiang people saw that they had a hundred people, and the Ming army had ten people, and they swarmed up, wanting to come to dominate the widows. Then they found that the Ming army was fighting and retreating. They were adept at riding and shooting while running on the road. Yeerqiang People can't catch up with the Ming cavalry.

Take a closer look. Many of the Ming cavalrymen looked like the neighbors of the Yeerqiang people, the Moxi Mongols. Some people tried to scold them in Mongolian. The Ming army retaliated to them in Mongolian, and they were indeed Mongolians.

What’s funny is that some young Ming soldiers look like Mongolians and are scolded in Mongolian. If they don’t understand, they won’t be able to speak back. They have to use Chinese---many of the new-generation Mongolians cannot speak Mongolian. Up!

Unlike the tribes in many places, the Mongols naturalized into China very quickly. The reason is simple. Don’t the Mongols go south to live a good life?

A good life is very obvious to the Mongolians. They have a lot of contact with China and they know what a good life is.

When they get a good life, they quickly naturalize to China, regard China as their beauty, and think that they are Chinese!

China is big enough and has such a huge influence on naturalized foreigners and even foreign countries that they even forget their native language and native language.

When the Yarkans saw that the Mongols were chasing them, they gave up chasing after them. They knew that the Mongols had excellent riding skills and there was no need to waste time.

Ma Weixing dispatched five thousand troops, two thousand cavalry and three thousand infantry. The cavalry used to sweep the enemy on the grassland, kill all who dared to resist, capture the tribesmen, **** their livestock, and kill the ones that can’t be taken. .

This trick is called "grazing the grass valley". It comes from tribal practices. In the name of grazing, it plunders everywhere and serves as military salaries. It is essentially a kind of economic predatory war. The target is the enemy’s population, livestock, and wealth. It pursues "all things that can be taken away." The basic principle of "take away, burn all that can't be taken away".

Of course, the Ming army does not lack military pay. The request from the General Staff is to slaughter the tribesmen and livestock and clean up the grasslands!

The infantry is not the main force of the grass valley. Their role is to cover the cavalry, transport military resources, supervise the spoils, and provide a resting point for the cavalry.

The cavalry was responsible for fighting the grass valley, sending out scouts to detect the enemy, and then the cavalry surrounded and attacked the camp of the tribe.

The grasslands were full of wars. The Ming army caught people when they saw them, and they robbed animals when they saw them. They were working so hard that there was crying everywhere on the grasslands!

The looted population is sent back to the Urumqi construction site to work as laborers. The livestock will naturally improve the lives of everyone, and some will be handed over to migrant workers to raise them.

The Ming army was not very authentic. They fled when they saw the Yeerqiang brigade cavalry, throwing their guns while running, and threw iron bristles to block them, making the Yeerqiang people unhappy.

And their information is very accurate, and they always find the water source where the Yarkans gather.

Of course, the Ming army could not be scolding against the sky, but intelligence personnel had traveled all over the grassland before!

Both China and China have established huge intelligence systems, and it is easy to do things if you have money.

As long as the silver dollars are in place, there will always be someone who is willing to sell the information. If not, then your silver dollars are not enough, plus more!

On this day, the Ming army assaulted a Yarkans camp before dawn. After the scout confirmed their strength, the army surrounded them.

The course of the battle was very smooth, and the opponent saw that the Ming army was in great shape and surrendered neatly.

The Ming army is not a bloodthirsty bandit army. As long as the opponent surrenders, they treat the captives as slaves. According to the laws of the Ming Empire, slaves still have some human rights. At least they cannot be killed casually, and the obedient cannot be abused.

It sounds a little benevolent, but the Ming army did it better than its counterparts in the southeast. The people of the southeast are worse than the Mingguo, and the quality of the people of the southeast is also worse. They are wild tempered. There are many imperial troops in the Southeast, and their sources are complex, so the military discipline is not good, and they often cause things that are unfavorable to foreign races.

After all, the southeast country has implemented the rule of being good to its own people, and this hasn't caused any trouble.

In contrast, the officers and noncommissioned officers of the Ming Army were of high quality, and they strictly followed military discipline.

"We caught more than 300 males and more than 500 women and children!" The officer on duty that day reported to Ma Weixing, who led the team.

The captured young men and few elderly people are the norm on the grasslands. In fact, due to the war and the poor living conditions on the grasslands, the grassland tribes often lead a precarious life, even the big tribes are in danger. People like to live this kind of life. This is also the reason why tribes like to drink.

This is one of the reasons why Mongolians can quickly integrate into China. China is a country under the rule of law, which can protect the weak and provide food and dignity for everyone.

"There are more than 6,000 large and small livestock!" The official value star said joyfully.

"Not bad!" Ma Weixing was also very happy ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It was a pleasant thing to get so many benefits without loss. He ordered the cavalry to return and meet the infantry who was coming.

He took 1,800 cavalry, and used a hundred men to **** the men of the tribe. They were tied their hands behind their backs. Three hundred men escorted the women and children of the tribe. The women and children were hostages. If something happened, they would be killed first!

In the course of foreign warfare, the armies of the two Chinas have never softened their hands.

The journey was very smooth at first, but when Ma Weixing's infantry and cavalry joined together, the dust on both sides suddenly rose, indicating that a large number of cavalry were approaching.

Not only that, but there were also three hundred light cavalry lying in ambush in a valley on the side of the road, killing them at close range.

At this time, the captured men of the tribe suddenly got into trouble. They did not know why they hid the blade. With the help of each other, after they lifted the rope from their hands, they immediately rushed to the flock of cattle and sheep, like a fish in water, driving the cattle and sheep. The infantry of the Ming army swarmed, but the women and children of the tribe scattered and fled.

This is a trap!
