I'm a big dick

Chapter 458

"Ming people, but we are Mongolian." Hu Dawei looked at Nuke's blank look, and explained with a smile: "Even General Man is Mongolian, and he just got the blessing of Long Live."

Nuke blinked his eyes, laughed a few times, and said, "Understood, a naturalized Daming is a Daming person!"

Meng Ruhu took a look at Nuke and shook his head secretly. It would not be very accurate to say that it was just naturalization.But there is no need to say too clearly now, it is not yet time.

The Ming Dynasty was originally a multi-ethnic country, ranging from the officials and generals who surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty to the nomads naturalized from the northern grasslands, the Ming Dynasty has a broad mind to accommodate all rivers and rivers.

Zhu Youxiao has a mind and vision that other emperors don't have, let alone discrimination.Let Man Gui bear the name of Mongolian naturalization, and you can see the clue.

Although they also used scheming, they treated the naturalized people in a down-to-earth manner.They are all citizens of Ming Dynasty, without any discrimination.

Man Gui was promoted one after another, and Hu Dawei and Meng Ruhu were also among the generals. They were ordinary naturalized Mongolian soldiers who were repeatedly rewarded for their bravery in battle.

Of course, the remuneration after retiring is the same as that of the Ming army, and the benefits for the disabled and the pension for the dead are the same.

Most dissatisfaction stems from injustice.And Zhu Youxiao tried his best to eliminate it, especially in the army.

Fairness and equality are two concepts. The salary of officers is higher than that of soldiers, and the treatment is better than that of soldiers. This should not cause dissatisfaction or resentment, but an incentive.

The ancients didn't understand what it meant to "make a show", but "a thousand pieces of gold to buy a horse bone" is actually a kind of show.

The generous treatment given to the naturalized cavalry is a live advertisement for all the tribes of Mongolia and for the Mongols of all tribes.

The tribes of Mongolia are poor, so poor that only cattle, sheep and horses are left, and they are all low-level herdsmen, which are equivalent to the vast farmers of Ming Dynasty.The Mongolian nobles, like the landlords and gentry of the Ming Dynasty, reaped something for nothing, and their brains were full of fat.

Zhu Youxiao does not dislike those who lead the naturalization of their troops; he welcomes those who come from a single person or a single family.

Just like the fighters of the Naturalized Flying Cavalry Battalion, they were all low-level Mongols. They couldn't survive under the exploitation of the Mongolian nobles, so they defected to Daming.

Compared with those Mongolian nobles, if these single-person and single-family people live well, they will have a stronger sense of identity with Daming and be more loyal to Daming.

Nuke has no idea of ​​naturalization yet. Dad is the leader of the Jalut tribe, and he is the successor. He is the emperor of the soil on the grasslands of the Jalut tribe.Who would want to become a naturalized Daming if the food is popular and the food is spicy?

Of course, this is his point of view.The herdsmen of the Jalut tribe and the Mongolian soldiers of the Inner Khalkha tribes who came with him may not necessarily be what he thought.

Tens of thousands of cavalry, more than 200 baggage carriages, and more than 30 portable artillery.The whole team is full of power and mighty, galloping on the Liaohetao grassland with yellowed withered grass, rushing to Kaiyuan and Tieling.

.........................
Guangning, Xiping Fort, Zhenwu Fort.

The main force of the Flying Cavalry Battalion led by Zhou Yuji added 1 dragoons from Guangning, and more than [-] surprise troops were stationed in these two fortresses.

In front of the sand table, Zhou Yuji carefully examined and thought again, and his eyes focused more on an inconspicuous place - Huangniwa.

Huangniwa is located in the northwest of Liaoyang, almost the shortest straight-line distance from Guangning to Liaoyang.During the Battle of Guangning, Jiannu set out from here, crossed Liaohetao, and arrived at Xiping Fort, which caught the Guangning Ming army by surprise.

Now, this line of attack will be used by the Ming army. When besieging Jiannu from all sides, the surprise soldiers stand out and reach Liaoyang directly, inserting Jiannu's heart.

"Report to General." Zan Hua stepped forward to report in the army, "The vanguard sent back the news that the wood collection has been completed, and the location for the pontoon bridge has also been surveyed and confirmed."

Zhou Yuji nodded and said, "Mark it down!"

Zan Hua responded, and marked the route and crossing point on the sand table.To go straight from Xipingbao to Huangniwa, there are two rivers in the middle that need to be crossed, one is the Liao River and the other is the Clam River.

If, like Jiannu, it is activated in mid-winter, when the river is frozen, people and horses can walk across the ice.But the Ming army couldn't wait for that time, and had to prepare for crossing the river in advance.

Although the Liaohe River is wide, it is not difficult to cross it with the help of the Ming army navy; although the clam river is narrow, it needs to build a pontoon bridge to pass people, horses and vehicles.

Seeing that the sand table has changed under the mark of praise, Zhou Yuji rubbed his chin and said to himself: "How long will it take to build the pontoon bridge? This needs to be estimated accurately."

Zan Hua bowed and cupped his hands and said, "General, with the help of the navy, we can transport small boats from the Liaohe River to the clam river by land. According to the report of the vanguard's pathfinding troops, the river at the crossing point is no more than [-] meters wide. The general thought that it would take half a day. Enough!"

Zhou Yuji looked at Zan Hua with surprise on his face.He didn't ask a question originally, but Zan Hua's answer was that the plan was meticulous and watertight.

"Wu Jiazhi was transferred from Wu Xue." Zhou Yuji nodded without concealing his appreciation, and said, "That's very well said. If you have any suggestions, you might as well share them!"

Wu Jiazhi pursed his lips and said, "The roads also need to be surveyed in detail and dealt with appropriately. After all, there are many swamps and warm places, which may affect our army's march."

After a pause, he added: "The newly opened engineering department of martial arts is specialized in this. Although the study time is still short, it can be used."

"Okay, very good." Zhou Yuji reached out to take the general order and handed it to Wu Jiazhi, "I will leave these tasks to you."

Wu Jiazhi bowed to accept the order, saluted him and said, "Yes, General."

There used to be artillery, cavalry, and infantry departments in martial arts, but the staff and engineering departments were only established this year, and not many people were recruited.

Zhou Yuji didn't know much about this staff department, and thought it was to train officers like Zanhua in the army.

But Wu Jiazhi had not been transferred for a long time, and Zhou Yuji had a good impression of him, and he was very capable in handling things, which saved him a lot of worry.

Now, Wu Jiazhi's suggestions made him even more eye-catching, and he felt that the new staff department set up by Wansui really has some skills.

Well, there is also the engineering department, which is probably also very powerful.Building bridges and paving roads is also necessary for combat, and it must be better than ordinary troops doing part-time jobs.

With such Zanhua around to assist, you don't need many, just two or three can greatly reduce your workload.Zhou Yuji looked at Wu Jiazhi's leaving back, rubbed his chin and smiled.

......................
Haizhou Acropolis.

Tong Yangxing stood at the head of the city, looking at the increasingly tight and solid Ming army camp outside the city, he couldn't help squinting his eyes.

With ditches and camps, the Ming army has firmly besieged Haicheng.The two red flags of Yuetuo and Jierhalang were harassed several times, but they could not shake the Ming army with strong troops and sharp weapons.

"The Ming army set up a big camp in the north of the city. Do you want to prevent our Liaoshen army from coming to help?" Gushan Beizi Shuotuo observed for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Is it not important to attack the city? It is really puzzling."
