Seeing the ice and snow melting and spring blossoming, even if the Karaqin Tatars could knock out their teeth and swallow their blood, it is estimated that the rising Jiannu would not agree.
After all, the Jiannu slaves suffered a huge loss in that battle and were left with hundreds and dozens of heads.
Last year's snow was very thick, which means that the water source for spring plowing this year is guaranteed, which means that we can welcome a bumper harvest this year.
This good situation is hard-won, do it and cherish it!
It’s important to take the initiative!
Instead of waiting for the enemy to attack and destroy the spring farming in the base area, why not take the initiative and bring the war to the enemy-controlled areas and destroy their spring production?
Therefore, Huang Yi issued a gathering order to attack the remaining Karaqin tribes.
The requirements are not high. Each small tribe of the new proletarian chief retains enough manpower for grazing, and personally leads at least ten and at most twenty cavalry to participate in military operations.
Today's base area is not fought alone, there are also screens on the periphery.
Not only is there the Hedanbaat'er tribe due north and west, there are small and medium-sized foreign Mongolian tribes with bases within more than a hundred miles due east, due south all the way to the border wall, and two hundred miles northeast.
Fifty-seven medium-sized tribes were reorganized by the surrendered Karaqin tribes, the liberated alien slaves, and the proletariat who dared to kill the original tribal rulers.
Each medium tribe is divided into three small tribes. The population of each small tribe is between one and two hundred, and the number of households does not exceed thirty.
The new chiefs are all proletarian cavalry who have made great achievements in battle, and they all received a pair of iron armor as a reward from Huang Yi.
They used to live in poverty and without dignity, but now they have become masters and are grateful.
They all actively participated in catching spies, intercepting sentry riders, and rounding up probing horses.
The new chiefs made reasonable arrangements according to the specific conditions of their tribes and only led ten to twenty knights to fight. This would definitely have some impact on production in the spring, but it was not a big problem.
If they can be captured, even if it can increase the population, the chiefs will think that the trip is worthwhile.
Huang Yi deliberately divided the tribe into small groups in order to leave room for advancement for the proletarian chiefs who were loyal, brave, and accomplished.
Thirty households is the upper limit for a small tribe, but if this small tribe has merit, it can be looked at in a different light, and the number of households increased by five, ten, fifteen...
As long as there is merit, the tribe can be upgraded.
Depending on the merit, the number of households will be increased from five to ten at a time. Don't rush and take your time step by step. The ultimate goal is ninety households and become a medium-sized tribe with a population of no more than one thousand.
Another advantage of doing this is that tribes that secretly hide their household registration and conceal their population will be exposed.
The reason is very simple. Tribe upgrade is a grace and an honor earned by the chiefs leading their brothers to sacrifice their lives and blood.
How can those with vested interests tolerate the cunning chief's ability to catch up with or even surpass him?
How can you resolve the depression in your chest without exposing or reporting? How can you show your loyalty?
The chief who cheated and cheated would not end well, even if he was beheaded, the whole family would have to go to the quarry for labor reform.
All in all, the chief must be a loyal and brave proletarian knight, a warrior who sincerely supports the system of the base area, and a herdsman whose words and deeds are consistent.
In special times, freedom of speech is not allowed. The chief who complained behind his back and said strange things encouraged the herdsmen to report, and what awaited them was the reform through labor of the whole family.
Huang Yi, who needs labor force and the more the merrier, has decided not to kill as much as possible if possible, except for those who commit heinous crimes and are heaps of blood and debt!
To develop industry in the base area, hard work such as coal mining and stone mining requires too much labor.
As the territory expanded, too many manpower was needed to build cities and fortresses.
Huang Yi's plan was to encroach eastward with a tower for thirty miles and a city for two hundred miles.
The ultimate goal was to capture the Hetao and build the capital city of the base area at the location of Baotou in later generations.
Building a castle is indeed time-consuming and labor-intensive, but without a castle, the Han people always feel that there is no barrier, no sense of security, and no way to live and work in peace and contentment.
Therefore, Huang Yi is ready to carry forward the strengths of the Chinese infrastructure madman and take advantage of the advantages of the time-traveling artifact cement to carry out major renovations.
Try to use the endless stream of castles as the fulcrum, and cooperate with the powerful army to draw a grid on the grass.
Preventing attacks and harassment by Mongolian rangers requires grid management like epidemic prevention.
It is necessary to act within our capabilities and keep pace with the times. Huang Yi will decide how much territory to draw after planning based on the strength and population.
The most important thing to grasp when demarcating territory is to control the water source.
Take a defensive position against the Mongolian tribes on the periphery and conquer all the Tatar tribes within the grid.
It is necessary to ensure that a piece of land is captured, and this land is all grazed by tribes that support the base system and have undergone a thorough revolution, with the proletariat as the masters.
One area after another was encroached upon, and the main sources of troops came from the new tribes of proletarian chiefs.
The chief's subordinates can be appointed to take over as the chief of a newly formed tribe if they make meritorious service...
Adopt this revolutionary method of using the old to introduce the new to call on and inspire the proletariat, untouchables and slave groups.
Knock down the rulers of the Golden Family, Tabunang Family, etc. on the prairie and then set foot on them.
Don’t worry about not being able to stabilize the Mongolian prairie!
Of course, achieving that level does not happen overnight.
At this time, we can only strive to ensure that the new tribes that have experienced a complete revolution are grazing within 200 miles of the base castle.
It is inevitable that the lives of the people in the base area will get better and better. The first people to come to the base area can hear Huang Yi's lectures at night schools, and most of them are slaves rescued by Huang Yi.
Huang Yi will definitely reuse these bitter and resentful people whom he personally educated. Except for those who cannot support the wall, most young people will become the seeds of military officers and civil officers.
Officers, regular soldiers, and civilian officers will definitely have to take more responsibilities off the job. What about production? This requires constantly adding new people to replace them!
Except for serious crimes of rebellion, the chiefs who have made mistakes are subject to reform through labor.
For this reason, Huang Yi also specially wrote a letter to the Governor of Xuanda, suggesting that in Xuanda, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, officials should not be exiled to Hainan Island in the future.
Exile to Xinghe City Quarry is the best choice.
Another half a year has passed, and Huang Yi's armored cavalry now number up to 1,800, and they are all fully paid regular soldiers.
Relatively speaking, there are fewer mounted infantry, only 1,200, plus an artillery team of 160 people.
This expedition had a special feature. The 3,160 people brought out were all regular soldiers, and they carried 300 four-wheeled carriages, including more than 40 four-wheeled carriages with steel wheels.
Neither the auxiliaries, which had been expanded to 1,800, nor the militia, which had been increased to 3,000, were brought along.
oh! By the way, there is another special unit not included, which is the women's cavalry team that has grown to 180, of which 60 are treated as regular soldiers.
