At the beginning of the battle of Yanmen Pass, the Xiongnu Chan Yu Fuluo advocated all-out efforts and increased the strength of the Xiongnu to fight Qin Hao and decide to merge the state.
At that time, Temujin strongly opposed it, but he was unable to stop it due to his low voice. In the end, although the Xiongnu captured Yanmen Pass, they lost the battle with Qin Hao. They even lost the three counties in the middle and north and Hetao, and even almost lost their clan.
Extinction.
Now that Yuanmeng has captured Zhenbeiguan, Temujin, like Yuvluo at the time, advocated using all Yuanmeng's strength to determine the outcome in a battle with Qin Hao, and those who stood up to oppose him were dragging thunder.
.
Looking at the past and looking at the present, the situation looks very different.
At that time, Temujin was not a Chanyu. From the perspective of an individual and his ministers, he was considering the entire ethnic group, so he was a conservative at that time.
Now Temujin has become the Emperor of Yuanmeng and established the huge Yuanmeng Empire. In his heart, ambition and aspirations are naturally the most important, and even the entire Yuanmeng is a tool to realize his ambitions, so now Temujin
Only then will they become radicals.
Of course, Temujin does not consider himself a radical. After all, what is needed to fight for hegemony is an aura of having enemies but no self. If he does not have the courage to risk his life and survive, it is absolutely impossible for such a person to become the last.
The winner's.
In Temujin's view, the reason why his brother Yufuluo failed was because he did not have the ability to match his ambition, so he was defeated by Qin Hao with a weak force. How could he, Temujin, have failed?
Comparable to the likes of Fulo.
When he lost to Qin Hao, Temujin was never convinced. After all, he was not the main general in that battle, and he didn't understand Qin Hao at all, so he lost so miserably due to his carelessness.
After so many years, Temujin has conquered east and west on the grassland without a single defeat, and his understanding of the art of war has reached an extremely advanced level. Temujin is confident that he will never lose to Qin Hao when the gap in military strength is not large.
And this was the reason why he dared to use all his might to fight Qin Hao.
"Qin Hao, don't think that you can win with more people. War cannot be won with more people." Temujin thought to himself.
At this time, Murong Ke stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the total strength of the Qin and Jin coalition forces is as high as 580,000. Even if we, the Yuan Dynasty, mobilize another 100,000 troops from China to join the war, we can only guarantee that the main force of our army will surpass the Qin and Jin coalition forces.
.
With 440,000 cavalry, our army can only remain undefeated. If we want to achieve the final victory, we may need to continue to increase our troops."
Temujin naturally knows this, but with Yuanmeng's current national strength, it can only bear so many troops. If the recruitment continues, Yuanmeng itself may collapse.
"But now Dayuan can no longer mobilize troops?" Temujin sighed.
Murong Ke showed a calm smile and said: "Your Majesty, the Jin army can use the common people as cannon fodder, so naturally I, Dayuan, can do the same.
No, they are not cannon fodder. The men on my grassland are all strong and able to ride horses and shoot arrows. Even the newly formed army is more powerful than the veterans of some Han princes."
"But I have already ordered the recruitment of 200,000 new troops. If we continue to recruit new troops, the country may not be able to afford it." Temujin said with a troubled face.
Just look at the Jin army and you will know that the strategy of all people as soldiers can only be used on their own land, but cannot be used to attack foreign countries. Therefore, Yuanmeng is now able to bear the limit.
Although Temujin was determined to use all his national strength to fight Qin Hao, if he destroyed Yuan Mengguo just for this battle, this was a completely different concept.
"Your Majesty, in fact, we still have a strong force in Dayuan. If Your Majesty is willing to give them a chance to make meritorious deeds, the predicament our army is facing will naturally be solved."
After hearing Murong Ke's words, Temujin's expression couldn't help but change. He instantly guessed Murong Ke's intention, and then said in a deep voice: "Ai Qing is talking about those...slaves?"
"That's right."
The Yuan-Meng Empire and the Manchu Empire were both semi-slavery countries. Both nobles and commoners in the country had slaves. This was normal in the Yuan-Meng Dynasty, and these slaves were naturally established by the Yuan-Meng Dynasty.
Blockers on the way.
Temujin unified Monan, Mobei, and the eastern and central parts of Xianbei. Most people naturally accepted and integrated into Yuanmeng, but there were also many people who were unwilling to surrender, and these people were all reduced to slaves.
Most of them were Xianbei people, living a precarious life that was worse than that of pigs and dogs.
"Although these slaves came from various ethnic groups on the grassland before, now there are only two ethnic groups left on the grassland, Yuanmeng and Manchu. As long as Your Majesty gives them the opportunity to remove their slave status, I believe they will be willing to fight for Your Majesty." Murong Ke
He said calmly.
Temujin frowned tightly.
Although Murong Ke's policy was suspected of interceding for the Xianbei slaves, the real damage was to the interests of the nobles. However, the weakening of the strength of the nobles was conducive to the concentration of royal power, but its implementation at this time was not conducive to the unity of domestic forces.
After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Temujin finally decided to adopt it.
This strategy seems to be a double-edged sword, but the threats are all in the future, but for the present, it is only beneficial but harmful.
Now for Yuanmeng and Temujin, the most important thing is to defeat Qin Hao, and since there is a way to increase the chance of winning, Temujin will certainly not let it go.
Eighty percent of the slaves in Yuanmeng were young and strong. After all, the old and the weak would not survive until now. If these suitable slaves were integrated into an army, Temujin would at least have an additional 100,000 troops.
"After passing the order, all the slaves in the Yuan Dynasty will be integrated immediately. The young and strong people will be organized into an army and immediately go south to the Hetao. As long as they survive until the war, all the slaves can be taken out of the slave registration.
The elderly, women and children who are unable to join the army can be removed from slavery immediately if their relatives join the army."
Temujin's order had a great impact on the Battle of Hetao. Of course, it had an even greater impact on the Yuan-Meng Kingdom. It made Yuan-Meng Dynasty transition from a semi-slave and semi-feudal country to a feudal country.
"Your Majesty, although we can use slaves to attack the city in the future, it will take some time to reorganize the slaves. And before the slave army arrives, our army must not use the main force to consume the Jin army's militia." Tuo Lei said with a serious face.
said.
This is a drag, even Temujin knows. After all, the main force is the key point in this battle. It is undoubtedly stupid to use the main force to fight as cannon fodder.
"One more thing, Your Majesty, the scale of the Battle of Hetao has already been exceeded. Most of the cattle and sheep used as military rations have been eaten, and the arrival of the slave army will undoubtedly increase the burden on our army."
Tuo Lei's face was extremely solemn and he said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the country's military food reserves are not rich. Our army must defeat the Qin and Jin coalition forces within two months. Otherwise, even if we successfully capture the Hetao, this winter will probably be difficult.
"
Cold winter and lack of food are the two biggest difficulties facing the grassland, and if these two come, it will be a nightmare for any tribe.
If Temujin continues to fight Qin Hao, these two difficulties will undoubtedly come at the same time. However, Temujin did not have the slightest worry about this. Instead, he smiled lightly and said: "You are not worried about the problem of food and grass. I have already
