971, a place for 40,000 people

PreviousBack to directoryNext
After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the temperature rose and the country stabilized, the population of the plateau increased. By the time of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, the area had once again developed to more than two million people.

Starting from the middle to late Qianlong period, the climate became cold again.

This was the last drop in the temperature decline channel that began in the late Tang Dynasty.

Many ethnic groups and political powers in Eurasia fell to this last tremor. The population of the plateau dropped again, to only about 1.2 million in 1951.

Fortunately, since the Republic of China, the temperature has risen rapidly and entered an upward channel.

After 2000, the temperature rose again to the same high temperature era as that of Yao, Shun, Yu, Xia, Shang and Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties. Generally, this large cycle of high temperature era will last 300-600 years.

At the same time, it was the golden age of China. In the past ten years, precipitation has increased unprecedentedly in northwest and north China. The desert has begun to green, and even many lakes that have disappeared for hundreds of years have reappeared. Floods have begun to appear in the Taklimakan Desert.

.

Once again, the glorious national destiny of the Chinese nation for hundreds of years has begun again.

Yang Fan and Zhang Shize left Jokhang Temple and came to Shunyi Palace.

Zhang Shize said: "I knew you couldn't spare those people, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. The Ming Dynasty was exiled as far away as Qiongzhou. It would be better for you to go directly to the snow-covered plateau. That place has to go to Qinghai first and then go south, which is probably thousands of miles away.

It’s all there.”

Yang Fan said: "There must be someone to defend the country and guard the border. If we send the Beijing Camp, His Majesty will definitely be anxious. This Beijing Camp is more important to him than his eyes."

Zhang Shize thinks about it. If the Beijing camp is really sent, I don't know whether His Majesty will agree to it.

"I asked you why you suddenly called that Yan something. Yes, Yan Yingyuan has been promoted. It turns out that he is holding back his evil here. You are using people to death."

Yang Fan said sternly: "I promoted him because I think highly of him. If you don't pay, there will be no reward. If you are timid, you will be the general. Military achievements are earned by holding your head. He is really talented, I will give him

If I get a chance, he will definitely be able to surprise me. In less than ten years, he can be promoted to the rank of chief military officer, believe it or not."

Zhang Shize didn't dare to make a bet with Yang Fan, because everything this guy said could be done basically failed in the end.

"Why don't I see that there's anything special about him? He's just a shy young man."

"Haha, the bun has meat but not in the folds. Don't worry, I will train him first. If you don't train him well, throwing him out will be harmful to him."

"How do you plan to train him?" Zhang Shize asked strangely.

"We fought off Daza's gang and they fled to Jiuyuan. We cannot let them join the seven Tumut tribes from Qinghai in Jiuyuan. It is too close to Guihua City and poses a threat to us.

So we will send troops to attack Jiuyuan tomorrow."

Zhang Shize said: "Yes, hurry up and take down Linhe City in one go. Then we can turn over and fight the Ordos people. After we deal with them, we can return to the capital."

Zhang Shize suffered a lot along the way. He had never left the capital in his life.

It can be said that he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. He has never seen anything like fine clothes and fine food since he was a child. However, when the army went out to fight and suffered a lot of ashes along the way, he suffered a lot.

Yang shook his head and said: "We must defeat Jiuyuan, but Linhe City should not be moved. It must be left to the Mongols."

Zhang Shize said strangely: "Why is this?"

"Think about it, if Linhe is lost, the Mongols will have no place to stand in the jacket. If they are scattered and attack with cavalry everywhere, can we bear it? So, we captured Jiuyuan City and sent those who were trained by Yan Yingyuan to

Forty thousand people will be transferred and stationed there. Then we can cross the Yellow River south and deal with the Ordos people."

Zhang Shize nodded and said: "I understand, as long as they have a place to stay, the Mongolian reinforcements from all walks of life will gather in Linhe City, so that we can fight them decisively. Otherwise, their cavalry will be everywhere, and we are just infantry."

If you go out to look for them, you will only be beaten passively."

Yang Fan said: "Yes, so the Mongols gathered in Linhe. We put the 40,000 people in Jiuyuan. We fought hard in Jiedao stronghold, with insufficient offense and more than enough defense. We just took the opportunity to concentrate our troops and go south. Now, Yulin Town, Ningxia

The 10,000 elite soldiers from Guyuan Town and Guyuan Town are ready. In addition, we will send another 50,000 soldiers from the capital camp, which is enough to defeat the Ordos people."

Zhang Shize said in his heart, you are still doing the same thing.

It's the same as the battle of Hundred Households in the Rock Beach. Put yourself to death and survive.

Throw these 40,000 people into Jiuyuan. They must fight to the death to defend the city. Otherwise, the Mongols will attack the city and massacre the city with their hatred of the Ming Dynasty.

They are not fools, they can only fight with the Mongols.

After the army has finished attacking Ordos, the Mongols will also be exhausted. At that time, the army will push over and completely defeat the Mongols. In this way, the Hetao area will be completely in the palm of the hand. It is a good plan.

It's a pity that these hard-working children have to suffer.

After this battle, I don't know how many of these 40,000 people will be left.

Even if they are left, hasn't Marshal Yang already arranged a way out for them? Follow the master to play on the snowy plateau. It is estimated that from now on, they will have to settle down there with Zang Nu. Their descendants will guard the border for the Ming Dynasty for generations.

But Young Master Zhang doesn't care about their life or death. As long as they don't stay in his own camp, he might stab him with a knife at some point. This time he goes on an expedition, he doesn't dare to leave such a big hidden danger. If he doesn't deal with them, he won't be able to sleep well.

Regarding this incident, Mr. Zhang had deep resentment towards Donglin and the Jin Party.

I wholeheartedly approve of Yang Fan's handling of them.

"Not only the swordsmen, but also the civil servants should be sent." Mr. Zhang said meaningfully.

Yang smiled and said: "Think about it, if we transfer these people away, how could they not follow us to Jiuyuan? How could they plot against us at the critical moment when they are separated from these subordinates?"

Zhang Shize smiled and said: "Yes, Guihua City is too small. I heard that Jiuyuan City was a rammed earth city built in the Tang Dynasty. Although it is not covered with bricks, the city wall is twelve miles long. Although it is seriously damaged, if you add some mud,

Add some more soil and re-build it, and it will be a new city."

Yang Fan said: "We sent three regiments over to supervise the battle team. We will strictly enforce battlefield discipline and kill deserters, those who are afraid to move forward, and those who try to surrender. Otherwise, I am worried that they will be defeated by the Mongols. We must also be on guard.

We are waiting for them to surrender. There are 10,000 Beijing troops watching. They have to defend the city and fight the Mongols desperately."

"We have also moved the main camp there. Those accompanying civilian officials have no reason not to go. The heavy artillery has also been transported there. We don't need heavy artillery to fight against the Ordos. They are civilized. The roads are muddy and it is difficult to transport heavy equipment." Lan.

"After we have settled down, we will send out troops and leave the civil servants behind. Let the garrison of Guihua City watch over me and behead those who escape on the spot."

Zhang Shize smiled and said, "You don't leave any escape route for them."
