"Sir, Duolun City is attacking from all sides to pursue the fleeing Haraqin and Duoyan tribes. So far, it has captured more than 70,000 herdsmen with a population of nearly 400,000. However, the nobles and lords of various tribes abandoned the tribesmen and fled." Xiaoyu said.
"Where can they escape? Do they still have a foothold on this grassland?" Yang Fan said disdainfully. In the world on the grassland, the winner has everything and the loser has nowhere to go.
"Master, according to the latest intelligence brought by the scouts. Li Yongfang and Fan Wencheng somehow persuaded them. Khan Ahai and Buyan Ahai took Taiji and Tabu Nang. They fled in all directions with their soldiers and horses. , it was impossible to trace them. They all ran away. According to the confessions of those caught during interrogation, they scattered and escaped, and then met up in Shenyang, and Jiannu planned to take them in."
When Jiannu took them in, Huang Taiji wanted to form the Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Eight Banners of the Han Army. It seemed that he had done him a big favor.
Haraqin's remaining soldiers were less than 30,000. Duoyan and Su Budi did not suffer any losses. Including the middle tribe, there are still 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers and horses. But Su Budi probably wouldn't join them and join the Jian Nu and work as slaves for the Jian Nu.
In this way, if the people east of Duoyan were taken by them and ran to Shenyang, Jiannu could get about 60,000 Mongolian cavalry. Enough for them to form the Eight Banners of Mongolia.
If, like in history, the Eight Banners of Mongolia have no military guards, and each Niulu only has 200 people. According to the calculation of five Niu Lu and one Jia La, one Jia La is equivalent to a thousand people.
Five Jia La are one Gushan, and Gushan is one flag. That Mongolian flag only had five thousand soldiers and horses.
The flag of Jiannu is composed of 7500 fighting soldiers and horses.
But in fact, the number of Niulu in each banner is different. This number is only the number of people in the flag with the smallest Niulu. Like the two red flags of Daishan, there are many Niulu. Far more than 25 Niulu.
These 60,000 people were enough to form the Eight Mongolian Banners, which to a certain extent enhanced the strength of the slaves.
But the benefit is also obvious, that is, this land is freed up. The nobles ran away with their soldiers. The herdsmen have all returned to themselves. From Nuruerhu Mountain on the flank of the Liaoxi Corridor to outside Zhangjiakou, there is no longer any Mongolian influence.
He then prepared for a western expedition and took the opportunity to defeat the Tumuts and Ordos in one fell swoop. Achieve complete control of Monan Mongolia.
In this way, it reaches the Liaoxi Corridor in the east, the Hexi Corridor in the west, the line of the Great Wall in the south, and the Mongolian Gobi in the north. This huge territory belongs entirely to Ming Dynasty.
Except for the Guanningjin Defense Line, which is a narrow strip of the nine-border town, the remaining dangers to the north have been eliminated and no longer need to play a role.
If Chongzhen had the courage to disband all the important towns on the nine sides, he would have a lot of military expenses left.
Ming Dynasty's finances were able to turn losses into profits in no time.
Just support the Chahar people and prevent Lin Dan Khan from falling.
Let’s see if we can help him bring Eastern Mongolia over. If Lin Danhan brings Eastern Mongolia over, Jiannu will be completely out of luck.
Even if they can't be moved for a while, they can be sealed to the east of the Liao River.
Guan Ning's army has also been withdrawn. There is no need to pay extra in salary or anything else.
Clearly, the vision couldn't be better.
But right now, these Mongolians are running to become slaves. Just watch them run away.
Yang Fan touched his chin. They were running away in all directions. There was really no way to chase them.
After all, there are few people on our side. This grassland is flat and there are roads everywhere, so you can walk anywhere.
If there are fewer people, you may not be able to defeat them if you catch up, or you may even be eaten by them.
Forget it, just run away.
Yang Fan is not a Virgo and does not pursue perfection in his work. Not a Taurus either.
He is a Scorpio, a serious and sinister man.
Pretty much everything is fine.
Taiji, Nayan, and the herdsmen all ran away with their cronies, and the rest were the poor herdsmen at the bottom. Anyway, they will work for whoever comes. They had already accepted their fate.
This can be considered a good thing, because this is the labor force that I need.
There is no need for these nobles. If they run away by themselves, they can save their own troubles.
Otherwise, I would have to separate them from the herdsmen and send them to work on road construction to prevent them from causing trouble.
The rules on the grassland are that after a herdsman is caught, he will treat him as his master and work for the new master.
They all ran away, it would be better if they ran away cleanly. From now on, these herders will only consider Yang Fan and his descendants as their masters.
Monkey's side has already accumulated tens of thousands of fine-wool sheep.
Now, as long as there are enough nomads, Yang Fan can transport Friesian cows and fine-wool sheep. Set up a settled ranch.
The Mongols have no leader, and the rest are easy for Yang Fan to manage.
Mongolia is just a loose nation, divided into hundreds of tribes, large and small, and their languages are also somewhat different. Beliefs and customs also differ greatly from each other.
This time, the barriers of tribes were broken and they were mixed together. From now on, their children will all go to school together, and from now on, it will be enough that they are all Mongolians. Just take the opportunity to cancel their different tribes.
Everyone went to herd their own sheep and horses.
Including the more than 20,000 Mongolian households in Duolun, he has 100,000 Mongolian households in his hands. If the Tumuts and Ordos are wiped out, another hundred thousand households can be added.
There are 200,000 Mongolian households, and this strength exceeds that of Lin Dan Khan.
Then, continue to recruit refugees to come to the grasslands to work as textile workers. You can start your own wool textile business.
Lin Yueru snuggled into Yang Fan's arms, quietly enjoying the master's tenderness. Yang Fan put his hands around her waist, thinking and letting go. While patting her back gently.
Tu Shanyue, Lin Yueru and the maids were all used to the master being in a daze from time to time. They knew that the master was thinking about military affairs at this time, and they all held their breath to avoid interrupting the master's thoughts.
"Master, are those black coats you gave us last time made of woolen cloth? Can the wool on this grassland be spun into such high-end clothing?" Lin Yueru raised her head, looked at Yang Fan, and asked with big eyes. .
The weather has started to get colder, so Yang Fan bought each of his wives a Burberry woolen coat.
The ladies all liked it very much. I often put on these waist-defining trench coats and take photos in front of the coat mirror.
"Well, it won't work at the beginning. The materials for those clothes are very expensive and need to be gradually developed. However, the woolen fabrics we can produce in the early days are more suitable for winter than the current silk and cotton." Yang Fan patiently said explained.
"Master, there are no good clothing materials in the winter of the Ming Dynasty. Except for jackets made of cotton and linen fabrics filled with silk wadding or cotton, there are all kinds of furs. Woolen and woolen fabrics are light and warm, and they will definitely sell well." Xiao Niangpi also said.
"The business of food, clothing, housing and transportation is the biggest business in the world. As long as this part is not done well, Ming Dynasty's money will flow into our home like running water." Yang Fan said proudly.
"In the future, the Monan grassland will no longer produce rags. The grassland will become a cornucopia. After all, there are 20 million people in the Ming Dynasty who need clothes."
