Longevity Begins with Jinyiwei

The vast ocean is boundless.

If you have not personally been in this boundless Gobi, it is difficult to imagine what kind of scene this is, and you will not be able to understand why the northern border has been afflicted since ancient times, even if it cannot be eradicated.

In fact, if he hadn't taken control of the two frontier towns of Xuanfu, Jizhen, and had arranged for the two towns to start inquiring about Mongolia early, Li Xiu would not have dared to launch this war in such a hurry.

Of course, the most important thing was the existence of the system panel, which gave Li Xiu unparalleled confidence.

In the vast Gobi desert and the vast grasslands, the most important thing for a war is the understanding of the geographical environment.

And all of this, with the reconnaissance arrangement in advance, and the knowledge of astronomical geography brought by the system panel, are also enough to support Li Xiu's army to fight in the Gobi desert.

In fact, this time marching into the grasslands was different from most of the northern battles against the Tartars in history.

To be precise, the strategic purpose is different from any northern expedition against the Tartars in history.

In history, every time the Central Plains Dynasty conquered the grasslands in the north, most of the reasons were because of the emergence of a generation of heroic masters on the vast grasslands.

But today's Mongolian grasslands are not like that.

From Hongwu to Xuande, the Ming Dynasty lasted for several dynasties, expending countless manpower and material resources, ploughing the courtyard and sweeping the caves, and completely defeated the Mongolian rule of the grasslands.

In addition, the various dynasties of the Ming Dynasty spared no effort to mix sand in the grasslands, pull sideways, and fan the flames everywhere.

It is also that Mongolia, a pronoun representing brilliance, has completely become a nominal function word!

Today, Mongolia still has the name, but the de facto rule has long since ceased to exist.

Today's grasslands have long been formed into separate departments, and no one cares about who. Although Lin Danhan has the intention to unify Mongolia and create greater glories, but this era is no longer his Mongolian era, and the rise of Nurhaci is also directly smashed. his dream!

One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and both are nomads. How could Nurhaci sit on the unification of Mongolia.

Through military, marriage and other means, he attracted a large number of Mongolian tribes, which directly and completely shattered Lin Dan Khan's dream.

Up to now, Lin Dan Khan, the Mongolian Khan, is already in vain, and he can control only the Chahar Department of Liaohetao, and he is still the defeated general who was defeated by the army led by Huang Taiji!

The situation that was once respected by all the tribes in Monan was completely lost with that great defeat!

The Mobei ministries have long refused to recognize Mongolia and threw themselves into the arms of Houjin, while Moxi... has been an enemy of Mongolia for a long time, and has long been a de facto enemy!

Today, the hope of Mongolia's reunification is infinitely close to zero!

In such Mongolia, in fact, the threat to the Ming Dynasty is infinitely close to nothing.

It is against this background that Daming's nine-sided system gradually eroded until the rise of Jurchen, with Liaozhen as the center of gravity, and Daming's finances overwhelmed. The remaining eight border towns have been completely reduced to what they are today.

In this situation, Li Xiu led the army to march north to Mongolia. Naturally, the strategic purpose was to plough the courtyard and sweep the caves and seal the wolves. Even, he did not want to pacify the entire Mongolia, but only to pacify the Monan Desert. North, those Mongolian tribes that have been conquered by Houjin or surrendered to Houjin.

As for Moxi, they have all gone to Xinjiang. The Junggar Khanate will not be established for decades, and it is impossible for Li Xiu to pay attention to it for a long time in the future.

With such a strategic purpose, the way to fight is naturally to show military might, to oppress and surrender!

The entire strategic plan was naturally planned in Li Xiu's mind long ago.

This war will be divided into three steps.

The first step is to contact Lin Danhan, march together, and integrate the Mongolian ministries that were already subservient to the Ming Dynasty.

The second step is to conquer the tribes that have surrendered or have close relations with Houjin, deal with the support that Houjin may arrive, and pacify Mongolia.

The third step is naturally the establishment of post-war rules.

Moxi is naturally excluded, and Mobei, which borders Liaodong, will naturally be occupied by the ministries who have surrendered to Daming. Lin Danhan can also restore some of the so-called ancestral glory and occupy Monan to achieve his wish.

In this way, the prairie Liaodong will be destined to be endlessly strife, and Daming will be high above the ground, fan the flames, and drive the tiger to swallow the wolf.

Such a post-war rule dominated by Daming does not seek to last for a long time, but only seeks to alleviate Daming's external troubles for a period of time in the future, siege the post-war gold, and give Daming valuable breathing time.

As for longevity...

That is for the future.

If he succeeds, no matter how he changes, it will only be a small problem, and there will be a time to solve it!

If he is invincible, what is there to do with him!

…

In fact, in any war, the time of fighting is often short-lived, and most of the time, it is on the march, on the road, on the temptation of wandering.

And in this boundless Gobi, even more so!

The way of war is also completely different from the war of farming civilization.

There is no siege and defense, and there are not too many formations.

Especially when the Central Plains cavalry marched north to the grasslands, the most important thing was how to find the enemy while ensuring that their army would not get lost!

That's the point!

From ancient times to the present, most of the northern expeditions and the losers have mostly been defeated by these two steps.

As long as these two steps are completed, the last step, destroying the Tartars, there are very few losers.

After all, those who dare to conquer the Tartars in the north must be all elite soldiers and strong generals, and the possibility of defeat is naturally extremely small.

And this battle, naturally.

The strategic purpose is to deter and subdue, but since it is deterrence, **** slaughter is naturally indispensable.

For this nation on horseback, if you don't beat them and kill them to make them terrified, how can you be willing to use it for the Ming Dynasty!

The army went north, and after converging with several Mongolian tribes outside Xuanfu that had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, they went all the way north, followed by killing all the way.

Those who surrendered, mobilized their army and fought with the army, and those who were obsessed, destroyed their army, slaughtered their clan, and became slave soldiers. Children, women and children were distributed to several Mongolian tribes that accompanied the army to expand their strength.

In fact ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this kind of war is far more enjoyable than the war in Daming.

All of them are cavalry, and when they are taken from the enemy and used by the enemy, there is no worry about too much food, grass and armament.

Such a war mode is naturally completely different from the farming nation's step-by-step combat method, running thousands of miles, splitting and interspersing, but it is quite similar to the battle method of the champion Hou leading the army a thousand years ago!

However, the difference in strategic goals also led to this method of combat, which was only suitable for the early stage of the war.

After all, along the way, it is not only pure killing, there are also many tribes who have a deep hatred with Houjin, welcome the king, and then send out the strong, and go out with the army, and there are also many who are not right, look at the wind and surrender. Not to mention the slaughter along the way, the strength of the Mongolian ministries has also expanded rapidly along the way, and the strength of the main force of Li Xiu's headquarters has also expanded a lot.

The difference in strategic goals has caused this army, like a snowball, to become more and more huge and bloated as the battle continues.

In the end, the tactic of rushing and interspersed is no longer applicable, and it has been transformed into a dignified and upright way, pushing all the way, completely destroying all the original order of the grassland!
