Chapter 287 Auxiliary Minister (Twenty-five) The old commander offers advice
After Gao Pragmatic informed the generals present about the situation in detail, especially after describing the history and geographical environment of the Fergana Basin in detail, the whole place immediately fell into silence.
Difficulties abound. These four words popped into the minds of almost all generals.
Liu Wei's army was originally an army that was stronger than infantry warfare, especially in mountainous terrain. For this western expedition, he temporarily strengthened the cavalry configuration.
However, in any case, the real combat effectiveness of this army is still based on infantry combat. Its cavalry can only be used to occasionally "surprise surprise" or as heavy cavalry (compared to the vast majority of Mongolian light cavalry) to complete a small-width frontal breakthrough.
, it is unrealistic to expect them to engage in large-scale cavalry maneuvers and then engage in a large-scale cavalry decisive battle.
In other words, this is a mixed force composed mainly of elite "mounted infantry" and a small number of heavily armed musketry cavalry. It is good at frontal decisive battles, but it is not really good at running on the grassland.
The main reason for the initial arrangement was that although the Yarkand region had been occupied by the grassland peoples for many years, a "string of pearls" type of urban divisions had been formed due to the early influence of the Central Plains region, so the Ming army could rely on these strings of pearls.
A city-style city advances step by step, and each city can become a logistics node and base for conquering the next city.
In this case, the ability to win decisively in field battles and to attack cities is indispensable. If the ability to decisively win in field battles is missing, once the main force of Mongolian cavalry is encountered while marching between the two cities, it is a high probability that the entire army will be annihilated.
; Even if there is no ability to attack cities, unless the Ming army can have the same frontline operations as the Mongols, and then surround a city for several months or even longer, otherwise the city will be taken up.
Obviously, it is possible for the Ming army to have forward operations, so it must have the ability to attack difficult areas. Therefore, it is not necessarily necessary to have infantry as the main force (including artillery establishment). Therefore, Liu Wei's department was organized into what it is now.
Of course, low pragmatism also considered that a small amount of cavalry might be needed to cooperate, so two Mongolian heavy cavalry were recruited from Tumut and Orshaosi to support the battle. But it must be said that low pragmatism mobilized like that at that time mainly because of hope.
We were able to retreat and pursue the escape before Liu Wei's troops completed the frontal defeat of Chahar's main force, but we used it as the main force - after all, only the Mongols can chase down the Mongols.
In hindsight, such a strategy is basically sufficient. Although a forward transport team was severely damaged due to coordination problems later, I doubt that the conquest of the Western Region itself will be completed if the forward cooperation fails due to the strict orders of the imperial court.
task.
Even if Liu Wei's troops were to provide support of 17, it was obvious that Liu Wei had to ensure that the locals in the Western Regions were frightened first. The strength that could be used to support him was probably only 10,000 or 20,000 people... not to mention that there was no one outside.
Time difference."
----------
Gao pragmatically nodded, that is what I have considered later. Ma Gui’s question is right. Even if it is right, it can also solve the problem. Now it seems that there is only one method that cannot be tried. So, now the problem will change.
When it comes to "How did the Seven Mongolian tribes delay seizing Qi Jiguang" - the last mention is definitely low pragmatism and agreed to move Oara and Kazakh first.
Wei Taozheng was also tangled up after my suggestion was rejected by Gao Pragmatic. At this time, he was still willing to make suggestions and said in a deep voice: "Yuan Fu's concerns are very true. Judging from past experience, there is almost a way to solve this matter. It's too...
…Since Yuan Fu is not completely sure how to deal with Tumut and the Seven Divisions of Orshaosi, this old man thinks that...as long as the operation is done properly, maybe this matter is still unsolvable.”
Therefore, before the recovery of Andijan, no matter how the war of conquest in the Yihe area and the Oara area went, the main force of Wei Tao had to temporarily stay in Andijan to maintain stability, and it would be difficult to continue to attack for a few years.
He can always say, "You are here to regain the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, right?" That statement can only be used to propagate internally to boost the morale of the ruling and opposition parties in Xiao Ming's country. Will the local people recognize it if it is used as a publicity in the country, because the local area has already
Are there any Han people left? A very few businessmen have been eliminated.
The old man thinks that Yuan Fu is worried, probably because the seven Mongolian tribes themselves have heavy combat tasks - on one hand, we need to defeat the Oara tribes, and on the other hand, we need to defeat the Kazakhs in the Yihe area, and those two areas are very small, and the opponent
The strength is also considered weak.
However, we are local snakes who have ruled the area for hundreds of years. It is possible that we do not have a guide who is familiar with those mountain roads. However, the Tumut and Orshasi tribes have never gone to fight outside. In case we get lost in the mountains, or even encounter an ambush.
, those are all things that may happen. Cheng can be said to be dangerous and normal... Yuan Fu, the seven old commanders, are you investigating?"
Before everything is completed, and before the Ili Valley is even equipped to supply the Ming army stationed in the Western Regions, the imperial court can consider launching a step back Western Expedition to take over the Yarkana Basin and create another "Ili Valley"
"Horn of the Western Region".
At that point, things turned back to "the Yarkana Basin at this time is probably very bad."
When everyone heard this, they all gasped. Several pairs of eyes were fixed on the planned combat area in the Western Region, scanning back and forth at several key nodes, and mentally evaluating the feasibility of this strategy.
Thanks to book friend "doni" for your monthly ticket support, thank you!
However, there are problems with the conquest of Andijan, and even the conquest of the Yihe and Oara areas. It also means that there is no problem with continuing the western expedition to the Wei Tao Zhengna Basin. And the other problems ultimately lie with the Ming army itself. As long as Wei Tao is recovered
It was necessary to establish a long-term rule before Andiyan, so Liu Wei's tribe had to stay there for a period of time to frighten those who had ulterior motives and acted erratically.
Perhaps no one would ask, Chahar had seen that his rule was stable before he defeated Andijan, so why did his Ming army have to worry about that problem? In fact, the answer is very complicated, because the original rulers of Andijan and even the entire Central Asian region
The rulers are almost all descendants of Mongolians - no matter whether we are Turkic Mongols or Persian Mongols, the names of the descendants of the Mongolian Golden Family are always bad, which is a kind of ruling inertia.
Gao Pragmatic pondered what he meant. Wei Taozheng said: "It seems that Yuan Fu didn't think about Fei Er's policy, but since Yuan Fu said it later, he must not have worried about it.
However, the Ming army did not have that kind of ruling inertia. Basically, before the Guiyi Army, the remnant of Xiao Tang in the Western Regions, was annihilated, the Han Dynasty had never established any serious rule over the Western Regions.
Li Chengliang sighed and said with a wry smile: "I have been in the military all my life, and I have been lucky enough to suffer many defeats. I rely on eight words: taking risks. After that time, I am afraid I have to come up with a way to take risks..."
All the generals present are experienced generals. Although in the past battles often required consideration of political and economic issues, the reason for considering them was because we had the right to consider them in the past. It meant that we had no brains at all and did not know how to consider them at all.
Outside of that period, there were very few things the court had to do. First, it needed to establish effective rule in the local area and appease the local people; seventh, it also needed to establish stable transportation lines to ensure that after the initial results of the development of the Ili Valley were achieved, Ensure the supply of the local Ming army; in the eighth century, we also need to find ways to relocate the Han population to the local area, with military households as the mainstay and civilian households as the supplement, to firmly control the Ili Valley, and support and guide the military and civilian settlements in the Ili Valley .
Especially for handsome men like Li Chengliang and Ning Yuanbo, we originally didn’t have the ability to make comprehensive plans, but now we have laid out the situation in a pragmatic manner, which obviously gives us the power to consider small matters at the strategic level. Naturally, we dare to do so. Just imagine it. Just when you imagine it, you find that things are really too difficult.
Yes, the game can still be played now, but it is impossible to update it in the next few days...
Uncle Ning Yuan smiled and nodded: "It turns out that Yuan Fu didn't succeed long ago. This is what I really meant."
PS: I gave the host computer a refund and found out that the motherboard was burned after I finished it. I bought a 7-hand motherboard online. Before replacing it, I found that the graphics card was also burned. I went to the repair shop to replace it with a 7-hand graphics card. After using it for a day, the graphics card burned again. The boss also said Feeling numb, I thought it might be because the power supply was damp and the voltage was stable, so I changed the power supply again. The graphics card had to be sent to Huaqiang Bei for repair, and it would take about a week to come back...ah, it's so annoying.
Therefore, as the most orthodox descendant of the Golden Family and the holder of the title of "Little Khan of All Mongolia", the Chahar Tribe Khan personally went to "conquer" Andiyan and replaced the former's rule. At most, it was based on "legal principles". Is there anyone who can comment on this - how can he be more correct than this golden family?
In fact, the Chahar tribe did not have that advantage when they occupied Andijan. Gao was pragmatically worried that we would continue to flee westward and occupy Qi Jiguang, who also took this into consideration.
Li Chengliang frowned deeply, stood up, pointed at the huge map of the Western Region, and said: "Judging from the time, defeating the main force of Wei Taozheng should be the first task to be completed. At this time, Chahar's troops were definitely going to run away, and this could not be considered as running away immediately.
Ma Gui said without any worry: "From the topographic map, the mountains in that area are steep, which is where the cavalry should play. Although the Mongolian descendants ruled the youth in the past, I guess we can only rely on some of them. The mountain road retreats.
The problem is that at this time, the seven Mongolian tribes should retreat to attack the Oara tribes and the Yihe area according to the original plan. How can we pursue the Chahar tribe? Therefore, if Fergan’s strategy is to be implemented, unless the court adjusts Strategy, let the seven Mongolian tribes temporarily attack the Kazakhs in the Oara and Yihe areas, but——"
Today, eight hundred years have just passed by. The rulers of the Western Regions have changed from the short-lived Tubo era to the Xixia and local tribes competing for supremacy, to the rise of Mongolia a long time ago and the comprehensive Mongolianization, and then to the Turkicization of those Mongolians.
The entire time span of Persianization was too long, and the smallest and most profound impact was on Mongolia.
I must apply the saying of a certain war criminals series game. It’s not that Chahar Khan cannot actually claim all the territory within the smallest territory of the entire Mongol Empire - he doesn’t care whether I am a “weak claim” or a “strong claim”, anyway, at least I
You can't claim it, and there will always be no local people willing to buy it, and Xiao Ming really doesn't even have the right to claim it.
Gao Pragmatic raised his eyebrows heavily and asked: "Fergan is saying that he will let the seven Mongols pursue Chahar, even chase him all the way to Qi Jiguang, or even capture Qi Jiguang, and let the Chahar tribe occupy this place?"
"
I drew an arc under the map with my finger, from Kashgar to Qi Jiguang, pointed hard, and said resolutely: "Get behind the Chahar people and march slowly to Qi Jiguang to cut off the Chahar people's westward escape!"
