Chapter 923 Wu Feng

The Oirats rushed to Yansui Town for thousands of miles. What are they doing? Take it?

For thousands of years, the northern nomadic peoples have done this. They don’t bring military rations when they march and fight, and they can grab them wherever they go. Sun Chuanting’s judgment was also based on the habits of the Oirats. The Oirats were very brave. When they fought against Yingzong, they

Whenever they went deep into the hinterland of the nine borders, they surrounded the city without attacking it, and bypassed the city and plundered the villages and towns, creating chaos, the Ming army was always helpless.

Later, the people of Jianzhou also learned this trick, and the Liao army also fought in this way. This is a tactic that can fully utilize the mobility of the cavalry. Zu Dashou was still a little unsure about the local garrison, but Sun Chuanting gave a serious advice, so why not change it.

Idea, if the Oirats really attacked Yansui, which route they would most likely take.

Zu Dashou suddenly realized and bowed his hand. After thinking about it, he suddenly realized that Grand Secretary Sun was so quick-witted. Assuming that the Oirats had already arrived at Yansui, he went over to consider the Oirat Light Cavalry's advance route, and it was in close contact with the military reports from all over the country.

, it matches one by one.

That night, Sun Chuanting made a very wise arrangement, with 10,000 cavalry taking the Liujiachuan Ferry Crossing and cutting off the back route. Zu Dashou led 20,000 Guanjin cavalry to cross the river from Shanxi and rushing to Yan'an. This move is called pinching the head and tail.

Sun Chuanting led 10,000 cavalry to cut off the Wala people's retreat, Zu Dashou led 20,000 cavalry to cross the river to Yan'an, and the cavalry went out to find the main force of the Wala people.

If the Oirats really go to Yansui Town, then two cavalry can annihilate the main force of the Oirats in northern Shaanxi, where rivers are crisscrossed by large and small rivers. If the Oirats cavalry are not in Yansui Town, then Sun Chuanting will station troops in Yansui Town with the opportunity to ensure that

The rear road of the Western Expedition Army was the best of both worlds.

The next day, early in the morning, the four gates of Datong Mansion were wide open.

Thirty thousand cavalry went south and north, and all out.

Sun Chuanting was in charge of Datong to dispatch troops. Teams of powerful people were strong. The dismissed border veterans were re-enlisted and sent weapons. Abandoned military forts, beacon towers, and even the Great Wall were reused. The northwestern border of the Ming Dynasty seemed like time and space.

It was a very accidental thing to travel through time and return to the era when it was captured by the Oirats in the northwest more than ten years ago, but it made Sun Chuanting famous.

After sleeping all night, Sun Chuanting rubbed his sore forehead and stood up.

Open the window, the weather in Datong was extremely cold in November. You can smell the strong smell of coal smoke when you sniff. Yes, it is the smell of coal smoke. With the prosperity of grassland foreign trade, Shanxi is increasingly affiliated with the prosperity.

, and had never experienced the destruction of war, and it was very popular to replace Shaanxi as the center of Northwest trade. Shanxi had a lot of coal, and it was cold to burn coal to keep warm, which became increasingly common among the people.

Sun Chuanting endured the smell of coal smoke and looked to the northwest. He thought that on the grassland outside the Great Wall, burning coal for heating was more common. Grand Secretary Sun looked at the northwest calmly, and felt a little satisfied. The Ming Dynasty and the Mongols were in dispute.

Forty years, he was familiar with military and historical books when he was young, and always dreamed of one day being able to rule the northwest and fight with the Mongolians happily.

Now that the wish has been fulfilled for many years, Sun Chuanting has become excited and has no sleepiness.

In this battle, the Oirats sneaked into Yansui Town, a major town in the nine borders. The whereabouts were uncertain. Each prefecture and county could only close the city gates to protect themselves, allowing the Oirats to plunder in the mountains and the countryside. This scene appeared in Sun Chuanting's dream.

I have been able to sleep at night for many times, but I don’t know how many times I have deduced it in my heart. I have long remembered every place name and every mountain, river and river in the northwest border.

Sun Chuanting felt a daze in his heart, and it seemed that he had returned to the era when the Mongols invaded the country decades ago.

But I also felt that the northwest land in the Ming Dynasty in the tenth year of Chongzhen was completely different from that time, and it was not different. It was not until Sun Chuanting summoned the Datong garrison generals and military officials to discuss the military affairs of the military officials that I knew where it was different, everything was

It is different from decades ago. The first thing is that the garrison yamen of Shanxi prefectures have prepared troops and roads, and the storage of Changping is abundant, and the military rations prepared for the Western Expedition Army are piled up like mountains.

After the new policy, Shanxi Prefecture was upgraded to an independent local government, mainly responsible for the transfer of food, grass and military supplies, recruitment, and training of new recruits. Their power was greatly strengthened. As the rear of the Ming army's western expedition, Shanxi reserved military rations was sufficient for the western expedition.

After the army had eaten for two years, the reserves of weapons and gunpowder were even more abundant. After handing over the accounts, Sun Chuanting's mouth twitched. When will the Nine Borders of the Ming Dynasty be so rich?

In the morning, a guest arrived during the military discussion.

The Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce, and the well-known upstarts of various prefectures in Shanxi visited the newly appointed Northwest General Manager Sun. Sun Chuanting did not dare to neglect, so he summoned these upstarts in batches in the official hall, in the Ming Dynasty that revived.

A wealthy businessman with great influence. Sun Chuanting was a Cabinet Grand Secretary, so he naturally understood the abilities of these upstarts of Shanxi businessmen.

I thought these upstarts were here to give faces and urge officers and soldiers to fight against the thieves, but Sun Chuanting was ready to be scolded and perfunctory. However, he did not expect that these upstarts of Shanxi merchants were here to give money for one day

At the time, Shanxi merchants lost the military expenses of up to one million silver dollars, and large official tickets were placed on the table, and Sun Chuanting was stunned.

Is it a million silver dollars donated like this? It’s just a stingy Shanxi merchant?

After staying for a while, Sun Chuanting curled his lips. Now he wants money and food. What is the difficulty of this battle? Recruiting soldiers with high salaries. Sun Chuanting thought about recruiting 20,000 new soldiers in Shanxi, and should be abolished.

The frontier soldiers are the main force, and the frontier soldiers are much stronger than the people. They give generous military salaries and family expenses, so they guessed that the troops were gathered.

After recruiting troops, Sun Chuanting realized that he was wrong, but he was very wrong.

Shanxi, ten years of Chongzhen, was no longer the Shanxi ten years ago. It was the first province to be close to Liaodong. As early as the Tianqi period, Shanxi tyrants established contact with Liaodong. Shanxi people had thousands of traces of silk from Liaodong.

With the connection, Shanxi children do business on the grassland and do caravan guards, and the martial arts style is very prosperous.

Ten years later, what will Shanxi become?

Sun Chuanting's recruitment order was boiling in Shanxi. The county governments spontaneously organized the people to build their own horses, armies, and muskets to gather in the county towns. The soldiers prepared the road yamen in various places. In five days, they actually filled in the recruitment quota of 20,000 soldiers.

It was full, but Sun Chuanting was completely confused because the 20,000 soldiers gathered in five days were all cavalry, and even the horses and ordnances were provided by themselves.

Sun Chuanting was stunned. He wanted to recruit 20,000 infantrymen, which was better than nothing. Why didn't he spend a penny and he just got a cavalry of 20,000 people? Sun Chuanting sat in the official hall, watching the soldiers from all over the country deliver it.

The roster of the new recruits who were called into the army were all cavalrymen.

A flash of lightning suddenly passed through Sun Chuanting's mind, and he finally woke up. He stood up and bowed solemnly towards Liaodong. Until today, he understood what kind of great thing the Grand Governor Ma Cheng had accomplished. He enlightened the people, advocated martial style, and hid soldiers.
