Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 347 Raiding Mongolia
The flames turned the night red, and the tents of the entire tribe were burned. The brutal laughter of the Eight Banners soldiers and the cries of the women made this peaceful night no longer peaceful.

This Otok (tribe) of the Chechen Khan was completely destroyed by the New Manchuria after only one night.Otok is the basic unit of Mongolian tribes. Each Otok should be able to provide about a thousand soldiers in wartime. It can be said that Otok is not weak.

But for the New Manchuria, breaking through an Otok is just as common as it is for them.It was not even the most elite new army under Fei Yanggu who carried out the looting operation, but the new Eight Banners soldiers.

The new army also played, but more in the form of pressing the formation.Cheng Lin was riding a war horse, wearing the uniform of the new army and a coat, watching this scene coldly.

Ha Kesan, the leader of the Eight Banners Army who was in charge of this looting operation, looked at Cheng Lin's appearance and asked, "Why, Master Cheng Lin doesn't like our army's looting?"

Ha Kesan can be regarded as a battle-tested general, but unfortunately, the head of the New Manchuria Department is no longer the Aixinjueluo family, but the Dong E family.Cheng Lin is now favored by Fei Yanggu, and he is regarded as the celebrity in front of Fei Yanggu, and Ha Kesan dare not argue with Cheng Lin.

Manchurians are very bullying and fearful of toughness. It is common to criticize each other behind the scenes, and they are even more familiar with following others. They are just slaves anyway.

Cheng Lin didn't look at Ha Kesan, and said: "At this time, for us Manchurians, survival is the most important thing, and nothing else matters."

Ha Kesan stretched out his thumb and flattered him: "Lord Cheng Lin deserves to be trusted by the commander-in-chief, and he really sees it clearly. We managed to get through this winter, but without the people, our Qing Dynasty still can't survive. We don’t have Han Chinese as slaves, we have to have other slaves to serve us Manchurians, the Mongols can herd cattle and make iron, so it’s a good choice.”

What Chenglin was thinking in his mind was that relying on the Qing army to continuously weaken the power of the Mongolian tribes, Fei Yanggu continued to launch looting of the Mongolian tribes, and it would actually take a while to transform into the power of the New Manchurian tribes. time.After all, the New Manchuria is still a slave society at its core. They robbed cattle, sheep, and population, and they all took them as their slaves. There is really no productivity, and it takes time to adapt.

Even at this time, the banner people still don't want to work hard to survive and work hard, but want to change a group of people to be their own slaves. After all, they don't want to be laborers, but to be masters and masters.

Cheng Lin didn't think much of the combat effectiveness of the New Eight Banners Army.Now the New Eight Banners are really capable of fighting, and there are only more than 1 troops at full strength, and almost each banner has more than 1000 troops.Fei Yanggu wanted to incorporate the Mongols into the new Eight Banners, but the Mongols hadn't fully worked out at this time. Whether it was Chahar or Khalkha Mongolian tribes, they could be slaves now, but being soldiers was not enough.

However, it is precisely because the number of people is small that the equipment of the Eight Banners Army has come up.Although these guys still wear colorful cotton armor and sometimes have bows and arrows hanging from their saddles, in fact the real weapons of the Eight Banners Army have become muskets, and most of the muskets they use are missionaries such as Tang Ruowang and Nan Huairen And the flintlock guns given by the Dutch, there are also a small number of shotguns, but in short, the lethality has become relatively large.In particular, the Eight Banners Army has now become more completely a dragoon cavalry, shooting people immediately, dismounting and slashing people with a machete. At least when dealing with the Mongols, this tactic is still very effective.

Now the entire New Manchuria is like a nomad on horseback. Even if the [-] new troops are infantry, there is actually a horse that can migrate.Their heavy weapons and other supplies were also pulled by carriages.The horses of the Qing army basically robbed the Mongols. On the contrary, in order to prevent them from escaping, the enslaved Mongols were driven by the Eight Banners, migrating with their feet like cattle and sheep.

Chenglin looked at it and said to Hakesan: "This Otok is almost done. We won't be able to plunder a few camps anymore. Soon the Chechen Khan tribe and even other Khan tribes will organize armies to attack us. , a war is inevitable.”

Ha Kesan was not in a hurry, he said: "Isn't there still Master Cheng Lin and the new army of the Marshal? Those of us, we can't fight a big war, so we can only wave the flag for everyone."

There is an atmosphere of greed for life and fear of death permeating the entire Eight Banners, and Fei Yanggu acquiesces to this phenomenon.The Hackers don't want to fight a battle where they may die, because the Manchus are really dying and are about to be exterminated.

Fei Yanggu has now even promulgated a law that any woman who is pregnant with a Manchurian must be well protected and continue to continue their Jurchen blood.

Obviously, this tough battle still needs to be fought by the new army.Cheng Lin knew very well that with the strength of the new army, it would be easy to defeat the Mongolian coalition army, but these were not the most important.Cheng Lin hoped to persuade Fei Yanggu to give up this prairie after pacifying Mongolia, and continue westward, through Central Asia, into Eastern Europe, and even into Western Europe.

There are fertile plains, a pleasant climate, and there are also those milky-white, blond-haired and blue-eyed big ocean horses. Many countries there have already had the prototype of industry. A weapon against Ming.

And Ming Dynasty was happy to export this plague, so that Europe, which was already full of vigor and dawn, once again ushered in a dark age.

Chenglin could feel that his task was important, and he hoped to get more support from Daming.He didn't know it at the moment, but three Ming Army cavalry divisions with more than 2 people had already begun crossing the Gobi and heading towards Mobei.The general leading this cavalry army was none other than the army commander and King of Jin Li Dingguo.

Bai Mingxiu finally handed over the honor of going to the desert to attack the Tartars and confine the wolves to Xu Xu.Even today, Li Dingguo has countless honors, and even has the status of a military god in the Ming army, but for this general who is still in his prime, the best compliment is this victory.

This is bound to be a dance on the tip of the knife. Bai Mingxiu doesn't want to completely wipe out Fei Yanggu's tribe, and he doesn't want Feiyanggu's tribe to become a problem. He even let his cavalry who attacked the desert lose troops and generals. This is a test of great wisdom. and ability.On the altar of the Ming generals, there are not many people who can do this. One Su Shuhuan is now leading the battle in the northwest, and the other Bai Mingxiu can only rely on Li Dingguo to fight.
