These Wuliangha (Duoyan Three Guards) cavalry are really weak in combat power, and the quality of their horses varies greatly.
The thousand cavalry under Wang Yuan's command fought countless hard battles in the south and north, and they were not the same as in history. The elite cavalry was produced through countless victories, and the emperor always took care of them personally, so they never had their military pay deducted.
Even without flintlock muskets, these thousand Ming Dynasty elite cavalry could still defeat the 2,500 Wuliangha cavalry.
Wang Yuan selected three "captains of thousands" from among the Han serfs. He also assigned Mongolian women and children to them as wives and children. He also distributed some livestock and grain from the spoils of war and let these Han serfs pen them on their own.
Each person can obtain up to one hundred acres of land.
For a time, the enthusiasm of the Han people was high. They were slaves before, but now they could sleep with their mistresses and occupy their masters' fields. It was as pleasant as a daydream.
Wang Yuan gave the spoils of war that could not be taken away to three "thousand captains" for safekeeping, so that even these Han people did not dare to steal them quietly.
After resting for a night, Wang Yuan sent his troops to the southeast and quickly wiped out three tribes near Chengde City. Then he turned southwest and quickly wiped out five tribes in Xinglong County.
These tribes are very easy to find, because there are mountains everywhere, which are suitable for farming, and there are not many places for grazing. Going along the valleys and river valleys, where there are abundant water and grass and fertile soil, there must be Mongolian tribes stationed and farming.
Especially among the Mongolian tribes in Xinglong County, there are only a few dozen people in number, and a few hundred people in large numbers. They moved south here for only twenty or thirty years, but they have not yet multiplied and grown, and were strangled in the cradle by Wang Yuan.
.
For more than half a month, Wang Yuan expelled and killed all the Mongols near Gubeikou, and rescued more than 6,000 Han serfs in total.
Of course, there were thousands of Mongolian cavalry who successfully escaped. They fled north in a hurry and met Zhu Fen's army in Daxing Prefecture. They continued to flee without firing an arrow, and their final fate was definitely to be annexed by other tribes.
After Wang Yuan continuously raided various ministries, he also led his troops to Daxing Prefecture to join his main force.
Daxing Prefecture was upgraded to a county when it was ruled by the Jin Kingdom, and then upgraded to a state in the Yuan Dynasty. The city walls were still built by the Yuan Dynasty. Due to the long period of neglect, the Duoyanwei and Tainingwei tribes moved in and were unable to repair the city.
They lived and multiplied in various places outside the city.
Wang Yuan looked at the many collapsed city walls, and used a telescope to observe the mountains, and said to Zhu Fen: "This city strangles the north and south. We only need to increase the population and restore the city to protect the land five hundred miles behind."
Zhu Fen flattered him and said, "Shilang Wang is really a man who knows how to fight!"
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "In the early years of the Republic of China, General Feng (Feng Guosheng) attacked Mongolia in the north. He achieved many successes all the way, but he suffered a defeat in Daxingzhou. The city on the other side of Xiaoxingzhou was unable to attack Daxingzhou for a long time.
They were forced to withdraw their troops and go back to build. These Wuliangha people (Duoyan Sanwei) live in a treasured land without knowing it. They even need a city, and they only know how to graze and farm outside the city!"
Zhu Fen echoed: "How do the Mongolian barbarians know the benefits of the city? Even if they are asked to defend the city, they don't know how to defend it."
After some flattery, Zhu Fen couldn't help but said: "Wang Shilang, shouldn't we go east as soon as possible to join His Majesty's army?"
"You go ahead." Wang Yuan said casually.
Zhu Fen hurriedly asked: "Where does Wang Shilang plan to go?"
Wang Yuan said: "Quanning Guard."
Zhu Fen said in shock: "That's... it's a bit far. Be careful if you go deep alone."
Quaningwei, later known as Wudan City, Wengniute Banner, Inner Mongolia, was further north of Daning City. In the Yuan Dynasty, Situ Asu surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and his tribe was settled here. Therefore, Quaningwei were all Mongolians and did not migrate.
The Han people came to consolidate the borders.
Today, the Mongolian tribes of Quaningwei have long been annexed by Duoyanwei and are the second core area of Duoyanwei.
According to the geographical division of later generations, Wang Yuan and Zhu Houzhao have been fighting in Hebei, and now Wang Yuan will lead a thousand cavalry into Inner Mongolia and penetrate Duoyan Wei's rear.
Zhu Fen felt that Wang Yuan had gone crazy. When his generals heard the news, they also believed that Wang Yuan was seeking death.
But thinking about Wang Erlang's previous achievements, the generals were quickly relieved.
Therefore, the supervisor Zhu Fen led more than 10,000 troops and went east to join Zhu Houzhao. Wang Yuan, on the other hand, led a thousand cavalry and headed north from Yanshan Mountain to the grassland, intending to completely disrupt the Quaning Guard, and then go south to attack the emperor in front and back.
The main force of the enemy army.
A thousand fine riders, one man and two horses.
After mopping up so many Mongolian tribes, Wang Yuan's men only lost a dozen people, but captured more than 2,000 war horses. This time, the quality of the war horses varied, and the best 1,000 were selected, and Wang Yuan's mobility was improved again.
When Wang Yuan captured several herdsmen on the grassland, he did not kill them directly. Instead, he rewarded them with gold and silver and allowed them to lead the way.
The herdsmen were interrogated separately, and those who were obviously lying were killed in Liwei.
By the Laoha River, the soldiers were drinking their horses. Wang Yuan led the Mongolian soldiers and personally asked a herdsman who knew how to cooperate best: "Are you saying that all the young men and horses in the surrounding pastures were taken away?
"
This herdsman is over fifty years old and his ancestors belong to the Hongjila tribe. After the tribe was captured by the Ming army, they were all thrown to Asu, the governor of Quaning, by Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, Duoyanwei expanded rapidly and annexed the territory of Quaningwei, and the tribe was affiliated with Duoyanwei.
Yan Wei, and the pastures he was assigned became smaller and smaller.
Immediately afterwards, Dayan Khan led his troops to kill many times. The tribe to which this herdsman belonged was killed by the Tatar Mongols and most of them were captured. Although Dayan Khan withdrew his troops and left, the pastures of this tribe were once again occupied by the Duoyan tribe. Today,
There are only a few dozen clan members left, living on a mere two hundred acres of grassland, and living a very difficult life.
If this doesn't stop, a few days ago Zhu Houzhao's army went on the northern expedition. Governor Duoyan summoned all the young men in Ning and asked them to go to Daning with their horses and weapons to fight.
The tribe to which this herdsman belonged had also been drafted ten cavalrymen, and their lives were completely unbearable.
"What's your name?" Wang Yuan asked.
The old herdsman said: "Tumen Wure."
Wang Yuan asked again: "How many clan members are there?"
Tumen Wure said: "Ten young men were taken away, leaving only more than thirty people."
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Anyone, male, female, old or young, who can ride a horse, come with me. As long as you are honest and obedient, I will take you south and give you pasture and livestock. But your people must change their Chinese names and learn to speak Chinese."
If so, are you willing to agree?"
Tumen Ure said: "As long as I can survive, I can agree to anything, but I am afraid that Chinese is too difficult to learn."
"As long as you are willing to learn, go back and gather your clan members." Wang Yuan said.
Just as Wang Yuan expected, the young men and women of the Mongolian tribe in the entire Ningwei territory were indeed recruited to Daning City, leaving only a large number of old, weak, women and children left behind. Wang Yuan was so bold that he wanted to use the emperor as bait to influence Duo.
Yan Wei gathered all his troops, and then led his cavalry to sweep across the enemy's rear.
The old herdsman Tumen Wure quickly called all the tribesmen who could ride horses, most of whom were women and the elderly, and even a few children around ten years old.
These people were the leading party, leading Wang Yuan to the west and attacking a tribe near Chifeng in later generations.
A thousand elite cavalry raided a tribe where only the old, weak, women and children were left. What else could they say?
This time, Wang Yuan did not intend to commit any more killings. It was not because he was soft-hearted, but even if all the tribes here were slaughtered, tribes from further north would move in, or even be taken advantage of by the Khalkha Mongols.
Quanningwei is too far away from the Ming Dynasty, so emigrating to the border is a delusion, and it is not easy to defend against foreign enemies.
Since it cannot be truly occupied, there is no need to kill or kill innocent people, which will cause the Khalkha tribe to move south and cause even more trouble.
However, Wang Yuan's method is no different from directly killing someone!
After he won the raid, he immediately selected young women, forced them to follow him, and took away half of the livestock in the tribe. With the women and livestock in custody, he continued to raid the next tribe, and then took away the young women and half of the livestock.
These women had their hands tied, could not ride horses, and marched slowly.
So Wang Yuan selected small tribes and burned their pastures to make these small tribes sincerely surrender. Then he asked the people of the small tribes to take care of the captive women and move south with the women and livestock to the land that Wang Yuan promised to give them.
Xincaochang is located in Daxing Prefecture and Xiaoxing Prefecture.
In ten months, Wang Yuan raided nearly a hundred tribes, large and small, in Quaning, and kidnapped more than 12,000 young women and more than 30,000 livestock of all kinds.
Moreover, there is no need to separate troops for guarding. Those small tribes whose pastures were burned will take their women and livestock southward. They dare not stay here anymore. They can only hope that Wang Yuan will keep his promise and grant gifts to Daxing Prefecture and Xiaoxing Prefecture.
Give them pasture and give them some livestock.
Even if some small tribes ran away with their women and livestock along the way, it would not be a big deal. If only half of them could go south, it would be considered a success.
