Chapter 0175 Building a city on the steppe, the tartar collective was dumbfounded!!
In fact, even if there is no Zhu Di, Zhu Li plans to share the formula of cement!
After all, all parts of Daming need to be built, so you can't all not transport cement from the northwest, right?
It can only be said that Yan King Zhu Di was clever and misunderstood, and all the efforts he made were just useless!
After the formula of this cement was directly announced to the imperial court, the formula that Yao Guangxiao had painstakingly researched became a joke!
"Old Seventeen went directly to Beiping Mansion this time, we don't need to detour to Daning Mansion, we can go directly to Zhangjiakou from Beiping!"
"How are you going to fight this first battle?"
Zhu Yuanzhang directly led the topic to the matter of the Northern Expedition at this time!
Tomorrow when he sets off again, he will be ready to start the war, and before that, Zhu Yuanzhang still has to make some deployment arrangements, in fact, it is just to listen to Zhu Li's opinion, and then give orders to the sons of the other three clan kings later!
"Let's divide the army into three ways!"
"The Asut Ministry will be handed over to the children first!"
"Let the fourth brother and them go deep into Mobei in another detour!"
"Cut off the retreat of the Asut Department on both sides of the east road and the west road, and extend all the way to Wolf Juxu Mountain, and finally the three armies will meet at Wolf Juxu Mountain!"
Zhu Li said directly.
"Let the fourth lead the troops alone?"
"Do you want to divide him a little?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a frown.
"Let Geng Qing take the five thousand Han Zhongjun to the left with him, Qin Wu is also the five thousand Han Zhong Army, and the third brother and the seventeenth brother take the right road!"
"There are 20,000 Han Chinese troops left, let's father and son take the middle road, just chase after the Asut department to fight!"
Zhu Li smiled and nodded.
The reason why Geng Qing followed Zhu Di was because compared to Qin Wu, Geng Qing was more alert, followed him for a long time, and his heart and eyes were a little more than Qin Wu.
"Give them firearms?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with a frown.
"Firearms are naturally not given, not children can not trust brothers, except for the Hanzhong army, it is better for other armies not to touch firearms for the time being!"
"Moreover, the main role of the left and right roads is to be responsible for encircling, not annihilating the enemy, and firearms can only remain in the Chinese army!"
Zhu Li shook his head and explained directly.
"Hmm. Then do as you say! "
"This firearm is really going to reach the hands of the old fourth, maybe it won't be long before I will imitate one for you!"
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and nodded slowly.
Don't talk about Zhu Li, now even he must guard against the old four's hand!
No way, this kid is too ambitious!
If it was Zhu Ke or Zhu Quan, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be so worried!
"This thing doesn't mean that imitation can be imitated!"
"The steel needed to make firearms alone cannot be manufactured by the existing technology of Peiping Prefecture!"
When Zhu Li heard this, he chuckled disapprovingly.
He really didn't worry about this, even if he sent Zhu Di flintlock guns and mortars, he would definitely not be able to make them!
Just the technology of steelmaking, Zhu Di does not!
In addition, the production of this kind of firearms is completely an industrialized system, and the basic machine tools and equipment are all purchased by Zhu Li from the system mall, and Beiping Prefecture does not even have electricity, let alone any machine tools!
Therefore, it is already heavenly that Zhu Di and Yao Guangxiao can imitate something like cement.
Further up, involving other industrial technologies, killing them is not something that can be studied in a short period of time!
You must know that even with the help of Zhu Li, it took several years to cultivate the talents of the research institute alone!
It's been nine years since he joined the clan!
"That's good! There's no need to worry about anything anymore! "
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really worried that this Yao Guangxiao was really so powerful, don't copy Lao Jiu's firearms at that time, then the matter would really be a big deal!
Fortunately, the technical threshold of these firearms produced by Lao Jiu is a bit high, and it is not something that Lao Si and Yao Guangxiao want to imitate!
After the father and son discussed the deployment of this battle, Zhu Li went to rest separately.
Early the next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang gathered all the brothers of Zhu Li and them, and first explained the attack plan this time!
This time, the Hanzhong army was 30,000 people, the Taiyuan army was 8,000 people, the Beiping army was 20,000 people, plus 60,000 Yan Sanwei, a total of about 120,000 soldiers.
Among them, Zhu Di led 30,000 troops, including 5,000 Hanzhong troops and 5,000 Duoyan Sanwei, from Datong Province out of the Great Wall, along the forces of today's Tatar and Vara all the way north!
To put it bluntly, it is to prevent the Tatars from escaping to the territory of the Varabu department!
And Zhu Ke and Zhu Quan led the 8,000 Taiyuan Army, and 30,000 Yan Sanwei interspersed from the direction of Daning Mansion to the hinterland of Liaodong, straight to the direction of Yuerhai!
On the other hand, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li led 20,000 Han Chinese troops plus 25,000 Duoyan Three Guards, and 45,000 people directly from the direction of Zhangjiakou directly rushed to the left, center, and right three roads of Wolf Juxu Mountain, which is equivalent to directly giving the rhythm of the entire area where Tatar is active!
The only gap left for the Tatar part, that is, the north, all the way north, over the Wolf Juxu Mountain, deep into the tundra of the land of a few cups!
When Zhu Yuanzhang's order was given, Zhu Di and Zhu Quan didn't have much reaction, but Zhu Di's face looked a little ugly!
This battle was his chance to prove himself, and he naturally thought of being able to follow the old man's side, but the old man chose Lao Jiu to go all the way with him!
Moreover, the task assigned to him by the old man is, to put it bluntly, to cooperate, to prevent sneaking into the territory of Wala!
The frontal battlefield was directly handed over to Lao Jiu's Hanzhong army!
This made Zhu Di's heart feel comfortable!
But no matter how uncomfortable he is, he can only hold it!
No way, who let the overall strength of the Beiping Army be inferior to the Hanzhong Army?
Just looking at the armor equipment and weapons in the hands of all the people, this is completely crushing level!
Even if he wanted to fight for it, he didn't even know how to open his mouth!
And Zhu Yuanzhang obviously did not intend to give him a chance to speak, even if he did, it was estimated that he would be humiliated and even more embarrassed!
After the deployment of troops, the army began to set out from Peiping Province.
The 120,000 cavalry in the frontal battlefield are only the charging troops of the Ming army, and there are also Taiyuan troops in the rear, and the infantry of the Beiping Army and the Daning Army are responsible for escorting grain and grass, and follow them into the hinterland of Mobei from behind, and the number of these infantry alone is as high as 150,000!
These infantry were responsible for controlling the original territory of Tatar after the cavalry annihilated or drove away the Tatar, and built fortifications in the area where Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li originally planned to build a city, completely eliminating the possibility that the Tatar could make a comeback!
To put it bluntly, the remaining infantry went deep into the north of the desert not to fight, but to engage in construction and seize territory!
Strictly speaking, the ones who really charged on the front line were the 45,000 people led by Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Li!
Five thousand of them were also only responsible for protecting the safety of the camp, that is, Zhu Yuanzhang.
The remaining 40,000 people were completely Zhu Li deploying and commanding.
Three days later, the army of the left, center, and right routes had already directly rushed out of the Great Wall Pass, starting from three directions to penetrate deep into Mobei.
The first to face is the Monan area, that is, the area north of Datong Province, Zhangjiakou and Daxing'anling.
......
A few days later.
Asut Ministry!
Arutai is drinking mare's milk wine and eating freshly roasted lamb in his tent.
At this moment, a cavalryman suddenly came to the outside of the tent, and then hurriedly reported to Arutaiyu: "Chief, it's not good! Two hundred miles to the south, I found that the brigade of Ming Army cavalry was coming in our direction! "
"Can you see clearly whose centaur Daming is?"
Arutai immediately put down the wine bowl in his hand and asked with a frown.
"Look at the flag, it's the Chinese character flag and the Great Tomorrow Sun Moon Dragon Flag!"
"It should be the team led by the Hanzhong Army and the Daming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang!"
People hurried to report.
"This Yan King Zhu Di actually dares to put me together!"
"Didn't you say okay, just acting? Unexpectedly, the Emperor Daming personally drove his own conquest, and the Hanzhong army followed and joined in! "
When Arutai heard this, he was shocked and angry!
The Daming Emperor has all driven his own conquest, which drama is this special play, this menacing momentum, it seems to have stepped on the desert northern grassland in one fell swoop!
Arutai said in his heart that he was not worried that it was fake!
Although he also has 50,000 cavalry on his hands, compared with the group of perverts with all the armor of the Hanzhong Army, the combat effectiveness is simply not a grade!
The only thing they may have is that they are fast enough to run if they want to!
If you choose frontal hard steel, you don't know how to die!
What's more, there are also three guards whose strength is not weaker than theirs!
"Report! The leader, the Ming army came all the way, shouting the slogan is to destroy my Asut department, and the other tribes all fled after hearing the news, and no one came to support at all! "
At this moment, another cavalry hurriedly came, reporting to Arutai that when Arutai heard this, he almost didn't give his nose to steam!
"MD idiots! If the Asut Ministry was gone, did they really think that Daming would let them go? "
"Mo Nan can't stay, we can't fight head-on with the Ming army, pass the order down, retreat to the north first, and hide in the hinterland of Horqin for a while!"
Arutai cursed angrily, and then Ying Ma gave a mercy to withdraw!
The hinterland of Horqin is the Yuerhai, that is, the area from Hulun Lake to Bell Lake, where further west you can reach Wolf Juxu Mountain!
Back then, when Blue Jade was on the Northern Expedition, he had chased the remnants of the Northern Yuan to the Yuerhai, and now that area has long been controlled by their Asut Department!
It's just that the water and grass over there are not as fertile as the Mo Nan side, so the Asut Department still stays in the Xinan area for most of the year!
Seeing the Ming army menacing and retreating to the fishing sea is the best choice for Arutai!
He thought very well, and when Ming Jun came here, he found that all the people had run away, and he might go back.
When the Ming army withdraws, he can still lead his clansmen back!
The same idea as Arutai are the leaders of other Tatar tribes, and all tribes fled north after learning that the Daming Emperor was coming with great momentum this time, and no tribe had the courage to rush up at this time to clash with the Daming army, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just driven his own conquest and led the Hanzhong army to conquer the entire Western Regions and destroy the Eastern Chagatai, just look at the fate of the Western Regions!
If they fight hard, they will die a very miserable death!
Just by virtue of the two guys of Han King Zhu Li and Yan King Zhu Di, these two guys are not fuel-saving lamps, which is also the consensus of all grassland tribes!
Today's Yan King Zhu Di is in the prime of life, it can be said that it is extremely strong, and the haze left by the Tatar departments when the Yan King swept the north has not completely receded!
Everyone has their own peak state period, and now Zhu Di is out of this period, and he is still the kind of both civil and martial arts!
Not to mention the ruthless Han King Zhu Li who just destroyed the Eastern Chagatai!
Although the leaders of the Tatar tribes panicked, they did not take it too seriously in their hearts.
Anyway, the slogan shouted by the Ming army is to destroy the Asut Ministry, and it has little to do with them!
Fight, fight whatever you want, anyway, I will run when you come, and when you are gone, we will be back!
In this way, the Daming three-way army came all the way north, basically without encountering any decent resistance from the grassland tribes, and even the shadow of the tartar did not see a few of the entire southern Mo region seemed to be empty!
Soon, Daming's three-way army stopped directly at the junction of Monan and Desert and began to rest its armaments!
But in fact, the three-way army did not fight, so they directly scared all the tartars in Monan!
"The army will rest here for seven days. After the grain and grass in the rear are delivered, and after replenishing the grain and grass, they will take the Wolf Ju Mountain with a bang! "
"These tartars are running happily now, if we really wait until we reach Wolf Juxu Mountain, it is estimated that we will not be able to sit still!"
Zhu Li was on Zhu Yuanzhang's luxurious carriage and said with a smile.
"This is Mandahan, right?"
"The dividing line between Mobei and Monan!"
"If our army is stationed here for a long time, I am afraid that these tartars will be anxious!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the scenery beyond the carriage, and said with a smile on his face.
It doesn't matter if you don't see the shadow of the tartar for the time being, just let them run well!
This time Daming went out to fight is different from the past, not to kill people, but to grab territory!
When this group of tartars reacted that the land they relied on was actually occupied by Daming, they were estimated to be angry and vomited blood!
To put it bluntly, this is not playing cards according to the routine!
"In half a month, without any tartar, enough infantry in the rear to send heavy weight and grain and grass to Monan!"
"In addition to those tartars, there are many herders who have stayed, what are you going to do with these neutral small and medium-sized tribes?"
"According to your idea, do you want to gather them all and build a city in Mandahan?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked at this time.
"These neutral tribes did not raise their arms against the Daming people or the army, naturally they can't all be killed!"
"What we want is to be able to control this land for a long time, and the hearts of the aborigines still have to be encircled!"
Zhu Li nodded, and then called Zhou Tong over.
He asked Zhou Tong to gather all the herders of all the surrounding tribes before the army of logistics transporting supplies arrived.
This time, he not only wanted to let these tartars know that Daming wanted to build a city on their territory, but also use their herdsmen to build a city here!
The 150,000-strong army delivered not only grain and grass, but also wood and various materials needed to build the city!
When the materials are gradually transported and the herders are ready, you can start building!
In addition, Zhu Di and Zhu their left and right armies also set up camp before entering Mobei, this is a plan that has been discussed before, after all, after entering Mo Nan for more than ten days, the grain and grass are almost exhausted, and you must wait for the subsequent grain and grass replenishment to continue to go deeper into Mobei!
To put it bluntly, this time the northern expedition to kill the tartar is only one aspect, and more importantly, it is more important to advance steadily and seize all the territory of Mobei!
As long as the Tatar part swallows it, the tile thorn side will be difficult to hide!
However, at this time, the Varabu was also watching!
The Daming army went deep into Monan, and soon the Ming army stopped pursuing, and the news of staying in Monan also reached Wala.
In their opinion, the Ming army should be short of food and grass, and it is estimated that it will not continue to chase north, and will soon retreat!
After all, whether it is Mo Nan or Mo Bei, it is not comparable to the Western Regions, there is no fixed city here, and it is impossible to farm, even if the Ming army is defeated, it is useless!
Retreat seems to be the only option for the Ming army!
The Tatar ministries think so, and the Tartar tribes think so too!
However, ten days later, whether it was the Vara Department or the Tatar Department, they were all dumbfounded, because the small number of Tanma who remained in Monan came back to report that the Ming army had more than 100,000 troops deep into Monan, and transported a large amount of materials, and tangled up a large group of herdsmen, together with the hundreds of thousands of troops, began to build a city in Mandahan in Monan!
For a time, all the departments of the steppe were collectively dumbfounded!
