1605 Gao Qi Persuades to Surrender
Such an important meeting should have been held for a long time, but Yan Changwu was plagued by everything and Gan Hui did not return to the court. Now that the matter of the crown prince is completed, then the meeting will be held to solve the problem, a big problem!
Gan Hui stood in front of the big map and talked with a tutor.
"The war in the north is progressing smoothly, but we have encountered new situations, Rakshasa ghost!" Gan Hui pointed out.
He first introduced the Ming army's advance northward movement. This was an exciting moment. The Han Dynasty in the Central Plains achieved unprecedented progress and unprecedented victory!
Crossing the Great Wall, going out of the frontier, and building the Sushu City in the south of the desert was the most fierce attack on the northern nomads. Only the most powerful Han Dynasty had the strength to do so, pushing the war out of the country, allowing those nomads to live in a daunting state from now on. I don’t know when the Han army would kill the grassland, kill their men, and steal their women and livestock!
Obviously, the new Ming army did it, and they made history!
The process of striving for the north was two steps. The first step was to gather two elite Chinese generals and heavy troops out of the frontier, expelling the nomadic peoples in the south of the desert, and building the surrendered city, which allowed the Han Dynasty to gain a foothold in the south of the desert.
Famous generals wore strong and held sharp edges, leading fearless soldiers to fight the enemy bravely.
As a result, the nomadic peoples in the south of the desert were beaten to ashes, dead, surrendered, and fled, none of them were spared. The nomadic peoples who trapped the Central Plains dynasty for thousands of years seemed vulnerable. Later, they fled as soon as they saw the Ming army's flag, without any character, which made the soldiers puzzled.
Is this still the nomadic people who ravaged the Qianming and made the Qianming die?
When making a phased summary, people found many reasons.
Leadership is the most important. The highest command of the Ming army is actually equivalent to the founding king. He has a halo of victory. Of course, he will have good fruits to eat and pork.
Yan Changwu had absolute control over the Ming army and said that the commander he sent Gan Hui was obviously a veteran in the army and was proficient in combat. He commanded properly and did not give the nomadic people a chance.
Some people say that removing the interference of civil servants was a major factor in the victory of the Ming army. In the past Ming Dynasty, the emperor was worried about the soldiers and used civil servants or TJs to restrict the army. If these non-professionals make jokes, the army will die.
Nowadays, the Ming army's military system reforms, staff and political personnel appeared in the Ming army's military sequence, as well as specialized logistics supply units, which were fully professional, and the army's chief officials had a much better life. The court was not worried that the chief officials would rebel, so it abolished the civil servants and TJs and other laymen to control the army, removing the heavy load of the army, and the army naturally burst out its due combat effectiveness.
Although the civil servants were not convinced, they were speechless before the amazing record.
Another thing is the widespread use of muskets. In border areas, the former "strong warriors fight with their strings" - only strong warriors can drive bows and arrows and become old men, women and children use muskets, and they will fight when they encounter the enemy!
In the two Chinese regions, children from China at sea carried muskets that were longer than them to go to school, while children on the northern border of China on land carried muskets that were even longer than they wanted to go to school!
Muskets are popular in northern border areas. When everyone uses muskets, nomadic peoples are in trouble!
The Han people popularized muskets at an astonishing speed, and what's even more amazing is that they used rifled rifles in large quantities!
No matter how powerful the nomadic people are, the Sagittarius can hit a target of 300 meters at most, and the more accurate one is a 100-meter distance. The rifled gun is said to have a 900-meter range, and the higher hit rate is 300 meters.
The question is how many tribal archers have? And rifled rifles are used by teenagers.
So the tribal archers were completely defeated in front of the Han musketeers. What’s funny is that many of the tribes that surrendered to the Ming army threw down their bows and arrows and used muskets!
When asked why, those grassland athletes who had no solar terms actually said that bows and arrows were not as good as muskets!
No matter how well the bow and arrow are shot, the arms are already sore and numb when shooting twenty arrows, and it is too late to fight again!
As long as the musket is sufficient ammunition, it is no problem to shoot a gun, and its firepower output is far above the bow and arrow.
The Han people made muskets have excellent quality, high accuracy, sturdy and durable. One-on-one, muskets are not cheap against bows and arrows.
As long as the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains was not in chaos, the tribes could not gain the upper hand. Even if they had long-range attack power, the Han people would be in tears, and the Han people would beat the nomadic people on the bow and arrow.
The reason is very simple. The bows, crossbows and arrows produced by the Han Dynasty strictly manage the military industry are of high quality. The metal on the arrows can defeat the nomadic peoples. What do they have? Although they look glamorous on the surface, they actually have to import iron pots from the Central Plains Dynasty.
It’s not a joke. Iron pots that are not as good as smelting technology will be rotten after a few times of boiling water or milk. Iron pots made by the Han people can last for a few years!
So during border trade, the tribe first imported iron pots and had to eat them first.
During the Han Dynasty, Li Ling, the grandson of the flying general Li Guang, led 5,000 infantry soldiers to Juyanbei and were besieged by 80,000 Xiongnu cavalry. At Li Ling's order, half of thousands of arrows were fired at once. The Huns shot him out, and the Huns fled with them.
The Han army's bows and arrows were accurate and fierce, with strong armor-breaking power and strong bow power, and shot farther than the Huns.
If the Han army had not used up all arrows, the 80,000 Hun cavalry would not have left five thousand Han army infantry!
...
After winning the first stage of the outbreak, the Ming army controlled the southern part of the Moon, built several surrendered cities, continued to work hard, and incorporated the surrendered nomadic people into the army, and obtained a hundred thousand people. Using them as the leader party, they brazenly launched an attack on the Khalkha Mongol tribes on the northern part of the Moon, which is the Mongolian Plateau.
Gan Hui presided over the war against the north, and under his command, there were "four generals of the Demon Family", namely Li Dingguo, Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, and Ainengqi. These four generals can all stand alone, while the cavalry cannot do without the "Zu Family Army". Zu Dashou is old, but the Zu Family Army under his command is in full swing, which is of great use.
A total of 150,000 Ming troops and 200,000 migrant workers were dispatched to escort a large number of military capital to the important areas of northern Mobei.
The Khalkha Mongol tribes were strong and gathered to fight.
Previously, horse plague spread on the grasslands in northern Demon, which severely damaged the horse and animal industry of the Mongolian tribes. After finally recovering its vitality, the Han people in the south came to take advantage of the situation to rob. The angry tribal warriors were determined to teach the Han people a solid lesson.
The Ming army had 80,000, of which 40,000 were surrendered by the new army, and 30,000 Han infantry and 10,000 cavalry. They fought with 130,000 Khalkha Mongols in a place called the Mandal Gobi Desert.
In this battle, the Mongolian cavalry kicked the formation fiercely, and the Ming infantry formation stood tall, and used the combined firepower of muskets and artillery to repel the enemy cavalry.
Seeing that the Ming infantry formation was strong and as indestructible as a copper wall, the Mongols turned to attack the new affiliated army.
The Mongols attacked the Mongols. Before the war began, the New Army fired a large number of bullets from a long distance, causing the Khalkha Mongols to turn in a daze.
The angry Khalkha Mongols launched an assault on the New Army and charged forward with rifled gun bullets. As a result, they rushed to the front of the formation. The New Army used cannons to bombard the Khalkha Mongols. The shotguns caused chaos in the formation of the Khalkha Mongols. The New Army took the opportunity to launch a counterattack and killed the Khalkha Mongols in large numbers.
When the Khalkha Mongols regrouped, the new affiliated army gathered in groups and shot from a distance with rifled rifles, and fired cannons when the enemy approached.
After several days of fighting, the Khalkha Mongols suffered many casualties and few results were achieved.
Seeing that it was not a road, the Khalkha Mongols escaped and turned to attack the Ming army's baggage force, but ended up bleeding!
