Chapter 567 (1/2)
Qin Huan's plan was to develop steadily for two years and then use troops abroad, but this stable development did not represent the grassland. In addition, there was a trend of alliance among the four western desert tribes. Therefore, after formulating the plan to control the grassland, he immediately ordered Lu Xiangsheng to move westward, kill the four western desert tribes and bring the western region into the rule.
Qin Huan was still interested in the Junggar tribe in Moxi. He didn't see that Gerdan beat Kang Mazi and married his daughters in history. Although it was only played on TV, he didn't care whether it was true or not.
While the Jungar Department has not swallowed up the other three departments, nagerdan is still sucking and does not send troops for conscription. When will he wait?
Anyway, he didn't intend to recruit Lu Xiangsheng, so he would make do with the Mongols' own wheat flour, and even save food and weapons. All Mongolian knights would participate in the war, and the dry food of horses and weapons would be provided by themselves. He could even take his mother-in-law to look after the war horses and build tents.
There's no need to think about military pay, but after the war, they will reward money according to merit, or be promoted to rank. After all, the Han officials in each city had better be assisted by a herdsman's adjutant.
As long as they are Mongolian adult men without disabilities, they can basically meet the standards of knights. In fact, this knight is specially designed for them.
Because many Han people can ride horses, but few people can shoot accurately if they want to shoot arrows on horses, and the standard of knights is riding and archery.
When Lu Xiangsheng received Qin Huan's order, it was winter. The whole northern grassland was covered with snow, so he had to wait until next spring, but the call up order was issued immediately.
After all, the grassland is too big, and the herdsmen are too scattered. If you want to inform them one by one, and then gather in the designated place, you can't do it in two or three months.
More than half of the five thousand cavalry were sent out by Lu Xiangsheng. They were responsible for a regional notice, directly celebrated the new year at the herdsman's house, and gathered at the designated place with the knights in their own region after the Spring Festival.
After Qin Huan gave the order, he didn't care any more. Anyway, it would be better for the Mongols to destroy the four western desert tribes by themselves. If they couldn't be destroyed, they could lose both sides. Then they could regroup their troops and horses to fight for them. All they had to pay was some pensions. Anyway, in two years, the cubs on the grassland would grow up and be howling heroes one by one.
Therefore, after calming the western desert, we will recuperate for a while and continue to fight westward, against Persia, against the Ottoman Empire and against czar Russia.
Every time we hit the next place, we will liberate all the slaves in that place, then join the army and continue to fight until Europe and everyone is subdued. In this way, we ask those slave owners who are high above us. Are tribal chiefs afraid?
Of course, this move is mainly aimed at those barbaric and uncivilized tribes, tribes without their own culture, and for those who have cultural inheritance, it is to support them to build a nation.
This was Qin Huan's strategy to conquer the world. Genghis Khan used this move to fight all over the world and all the way to Europe.
However, compared with Genghis Khan who only knew killing and looting, his combination of soft and hard work and differential treatment will only be more powerful and more conducive to nominal rule. Anyway, he is not in a hurry.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Han people to go on a ten thousand mile expedition alone. He would not do such a stupid thing. At most, he would send some people and horses by water.
Similarly, for the rebellion in the southwest, you don't have to think about it if you want the Han soldiers to climb mountains, drill through the jungle and play cat and mouse with those chieftains.
Han soldiers can only guard in the city and the main traffic roads in and out of the mountains, cut off all personnel and vehicles, and go into the mountains to encircle and suppress. If 50000 people are not enough, they will recruit 100000, and if 100000 people are not enough, they will recruit 200000. Anyway, they have plenty of money and food, and weapons are not a problem.
As long as the roads and paths into the mountain are blocked and a grain of salt, grain and cloth are not allowed to be transported in, the chieftains can't lift much wind and waves no matter how fierce they are.
