Chapter 321 Lin Danhan is dead in Mongolia

Liu Mingyu did not adopt the entire regiment to draw the entire regiment, but adopted the method of drawing only two companies to consider the rapid expansion of the troops. The company composed of two veterans, combined with three to four new recruit companies, can form the combat effectiveness of the troops in a very short time.

What's more, the main opponents to deal with this Western Expedition were the Mongols in Mobei and Monan. It was not that Liu Mingyu looked down on them, they really lost the glory of the Genghis Khan era. Not to mention Liu Mingyu's Liu family army, even against other Ming armies, the Mongols won fewer and lost more. The total force used in this Western Expedition included twenty-nine infantry companies, nineteen cavalry companies, two artillery companies, a total of fifty companies.

In the future, during the Western Expedition, refugees from Shaanxi, Shanxi and Gansu will be attracted, and the entire army will be expanded. Another worry is that it is because of Jiannu.

Although Jiannu was seriously injured in the Battle of Daling River, no one could guarantee whether Jiannu would break his jar and thwart the spring livestock breeding season and launch a spring offensive. They did not need to attack the city or plunder the land. Just Jiannu's cavalry arrived in Daning, which was enough to affect Daning's spring plowing work.

The supply of grain has always been the lifeblood of the farming nation. Liu Mingyu needs to vigorously develop Daning and Hetao area, and grain is the most fundamental guarantee. Although there are less than 20,000 people in this Western Expedition, Liu Mingyu used a large amount of supplies, and the large trucks used alone were more than 2,000.

At the mobilization meeting, Liu Mingyu faced fifty company commanders and fifty instructors solemnly said: "After leaving Daning, under any circumstances, you must not drink raw water. Everyone must bring their own kettle. The water must be boiled before drinking. We have a chef, so we are not allowed to eat food outside the military camp. After leaving the military camp, we can only eat canned food. Even if it is local fruits, they must be washed before eating. If someone has problems in this regard, I will hold you accountable."

Liu Mingshi asked for the responsibility for health issues and would never tolerate this issue.

These company commanders and instructors lowered their heads and recorded and took good notes.

Salibu disagreed: "I can have ten of them alone when fighting the Mongolians!"

In this era, apart from Liu Mingyu, few people have any concept of ethnicity and country. As a Mongolian, Salibu did not think that Liu Ming was wrong in fighting the Mongols through the Western Expedition. Instead, he believed that Liu Mingyu was willing to accept the Mongols was a blessing for the Mongols.

At least the Mongols who are following Liu Mingyu to make a living are very happy. There are many official pastures in Daning, and most of the people responsible for taking care of the animals are Mongolians. Liu Mingyu changed the breeding method of sheep and changed the breeding to captives. In this case, the sheep grow fast and eat less. The key is that the people responsible for this work will be very comfortable.

You can live in a tall brick house, cook with coal balls or boil water, no longer have to burn horse manure, nor have you ever had to wander. As life settled down, the woman who usually looks at her eyes and her eyebrows are not her eyebrows gradually becomes pleasing to the eyes. In Daning, few Mongolians wear Mongolian robes because Mongolian robes have become a symbol of sloppy.

"That was in Daning, the Mongols were limited. Now we are going to attack Ordos. The Ordos tribe has a large tribe with a population of 100,000. Don't underestimate the enemy!"

"Ezhe pays homage to Abbaga!"

The next day, on the fourth day of the third month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Lin Dankhan, the hero in the late Ming Dynasty, died suddenly. At the same time, he also fulfilled his last thought, which was to preserve his son and the inheritance of Mongolia.

Under the witness of Liu Mingyu, in the Red Palace, Ezhe took over as the 36th Mongolian Khan.

"Congratulations to the little prince, no, it should be Ezhehan!"

"Abba!"

Ezhe held a bright yellow scroll with the Mongolian and Chinese writing that the Mongolian Empire requested to attach the Champion of the Daning. In order to show that he had no rebellious intentions, Ezhe relied on Lin Danhan's last words to give the last 12,000 iron-hoofed horses of the entire Mongolian Empire to Liu Mingyu, and he didn't want a penny.

The iron-hoofed horse is the best among Mongolian horses. Its hooves are as hard as iron. Without nailing horseshoes, they can run in ghost places filled with gravel without worrying about being injured. Its endurance and explosive power coexist. It gallops for three to four hundred miles a day and night on the prairie, which is easy and pleasant. If it is changed to the tall horses in Europe, I have long known how many horses are exhausted.

This is the most ideal breed for the blitzkrieg. No matter how much Liu Mingyu had already been salivating and put in great effort to collect it, but he had gained very little. Now Ezhe brought 12,000 horses to the Liu family army in one breath, and Liu Mingyu was naturally overjoyed.

Of course, Liu Mingyu didn't ask him for anything. He specially set up a piece of land in Qihejian to give to Ezhe. As a private horse farm, the site is more than 12,000 acres, basically one horse and one acre of land. At the same time, the Mongolians under Ezhe's account were given the right to go to school. Of course, this place can only learn Chinese when going to school, and Liu Mingyu did not offer other language classes in Daning.

Ezhe's attachment was a earth-shaking event, which caused storm on the grassland. You know, although Lin Danhan was in a down-and-out manner, he was the nominal Mongolian king after all. Although everyone was not satisfied with his ability to fight, and even once took advantage of the situation, no matter what, the grassland king was the grassland king. Genghis Khan's blood flowed in his blood vessels, which was the pride of the Mongolians.

Now his son has fallen to the Han city to settle down and become a Han people's hawk. It's hard for everyone to believe! I don't know how many Mongolian tribes cursed, claiming that Ezhe is a coward who wants to enjoyment and is not qualified to be a Mongolian! The most powerful Tumote tribe and the Ordos tribe cursed the most fiercely, claiming that Ezhe is simply a shame for the Mongolians. They vowed to attack the Qilian camp and erase this shame!

Those guys who cursed loudly must have never tasted the feeling of being alone and helpless, being attacked from all sides, being chased by Jiannu and having no way to the sky and having no way to enter the ground. This is a typical example of standing and talking without pain.

The inclusion of Ezhe also allowed Liu Mingyu to seize most of Qinghai and Gansu in later generations without any effort. The plan could never keep up with the changes. With Ezhe's inclusion, Liu Mingyu had to temporarily increase the army of the Western Expedition. This time, the cavalry under Lin Danhan, led by Bao Ketu, a total of more than 9,000 elite cavalrymen joined the Western Expedition.

In this way, Liu Mingyu's army in the Western Expedition was nearly 30,000, more than half of them were cavalry. Of course, Liu Mingyu's appetite also increased. This time, it was not just to capture the Hannan River Guard, but to recapture the Eight Guards of Guanxi in one breath.

The eight guards of Guanxi refer to eight guards set up west of Jiayuguan in the Ming Dynasty, namely the Hami guard, Chijin Mongolia guard, Anding guard, Quxian guard, Aduan guard, Handong guard, Handong Zuo guard, and Shazhou guard. Generally, it basically includes most of the new districts.

On March 12, the fifth year of Chongzhen, when Daning began to plow in spring, Liu Mingyu led the Liu family army's Western Expedition Legion and began a mighty Western Expedition.

On this day, Yang Xianxian, with a big belly, looked at Liu Mingyu and personally cheered for the Liu family soldiers. Nearly 30,000 soldiers bid farewell to their families and disappeared into the rolling smoke and dust.

The military family members who came to see him off did not have so many bloody tears. The most common thing was: "Fight well with the champion Hou and do not allow them to be deserters!"

"If you die in battle, we will receive generous pensions, and if you become a deserter, our whole family will be shamed. Don't even think about raising your head in Daning for the rest of your life!"

"Son, the champion Hou said that after today autumn, our Daning should divide the land. A veteran like you who have been in the army for three years will give us 60 acres of land. If you are a deserter, not only will the land be sent, but our house will be taken away. You can think clearly. If you are afraid, let your brother change it for you..."

"Dad, what do you think, am I a coward? I will definitely make contributions and make great contributions!"

"I give you five taels of silver at the first level of beheading, and you can exchange it for five acres of land. Mom, you don't know, this time I was fighting Mongolia, it's easy to beat me!"
