After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, the temperature rose and the country stabilized, the number of people on the plateau increased. By the time of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, the area had once again developed to more than two million people. Lan
Starting from the middle to late Qianlong period, the climate became cold again.
This is the last drop in the temperature drop channel that began in the late Tang Dynasty.
Many nations and regimes in Eurasia fell to this last tremor. The population of the plateau declined again, to only about 1.2 million in 1951.
Fortunately, since the Republic of China, the temperature has risen rapidly and entered an upward channel.
After 2000, the temperature rose again to the same high temperature era as the Yao, Shun, Yu, Xia, Shang and Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties. Generally, this large-cycle high-temperature era lasts for 300-600 years.
At the same time, it was the golden age of China. In the past decade or so, precipitation in northwest and north China has increased unprecedentedly. The desert began to green up, and even many lakes that had disappeared for hundreds of years reappeared. Floods began to appear in the Taklimakan Desert.
Once again, the glorious national destiny of the Chinese nation for hundreds of years has begun again. Lan
Yang Fan and Zhang Shize left Jokhang Temple and came to Shunyi Palace.
Zhang Shize said: "I knew you couldn't spare those people, but I didn't expect you to be so ruthless. The Ming Dynasty only exiled Qiongzhou as far as possible. It would be better for you to go directly to the snow-covered plateau. That place has to go to Qinghai first and then go south, which is probably thousands of miles away. It’s all there.”
Yang Fan said: "There must be someone to defend the country and guard the border. If we send the Beijing camp, His Majesty will definitely be anxious. He values the Beijing camp more than his eyes."
Zhang Shize thinks about it. If the Beijing camp is really sent, I don't know whether His Majesty will agree to it.
"I asked you why you suddenly called that Yan something. Yes, Yan Yingyuan has been promoted. It turns out that he is holding back bad things here. You are using people to death."
Yang Fan said seriously: "I promoted him because I think highly of him. If you don't pay, there will be no reward. If you are timid, you will be the general. Military achievements are earned by holding your head. He is really talented, I will give him If I get a chance, he will definitely be able to surprise me. In less than ten years, he will be able to reach the rank of chief military officer, believe it or not."
Zhang Shize didn't dare to make a bet with Yang Fan, because basically everything this guy said could be done came true in the end. Lan
"Why don't I see that there's anything special about him? He's just a shy young man."
"Haha, the bun has meat but not in the folds. Don't worry, I will train him first. If he doesn't train well, throw him out. That would be harming him."
"How do you plan to train him?" Zhang Shize asked strangely.
"We fought off Daza's gang, and they fled to Jiuyuan. We cannot let them join the seven Tumut tribes from Qinghai in Jiuyuan. It is too close to Guihua City and poses a threat to us. So we will send troops to attack Jiuyuan tomorrow."
Zhang Shize said: "Yes, hurry up and take down Linhe City in one go. Then we can turn over and fight the Ordos people. After we deal with them, we can return to the capital."
Zhang Shize suffered a lot along the way. He has never left the capital in his life.
It can be said that he grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth. I have never seen anything like fine clothes and fine food since I was a child. However, when the army went out to fight and suffered a lot of ashes along the way, they suffered a lot. Lan
Yang shook his head and said: "We must defeat Jiuyuan, but Linhe City should not be moved. It must be left to the Mongols."
Zhang Shize said strangely: "Why is this?"
"Think about it, if Linhe is lost, the Mongols will have no place to stand in the jacket. If they are scattered, they will attack with cavalry everywhere. Can we bear it? So, we captured Jiuyuan City and sent those who were trained by Yan Yingyuan Forty thousand people will be transferred and stationed there. Then we can cross the Yellow River south and deal with the Ordos people."
Zhang Shize nodded and said: "I understand, as long as they have a place to stay, the Mongolian reinforcements from all walks of life will gather in Linhe City. It will be convenient for us to fight them decisively. Otherwise, their cavalry will be everywhere, and we are just infantry." Go out to find them. You can only be beaten passively."
Yang Fan said: "Yes, the Mongols gathered in Linhe. We put the 40,000 people in Jiuyuan. We fought hard in Jiedao Village, with insufficient offense and more than enough defense. We just took the opportunity to concentrate our troops and go south. Now, Yulin Town, Ningxia Ten thousand elite soldiers from Zhen and Guyuan towns are ready. In addition, we will send out another fifty thousand from the capital camp, which is enough to defeat the Ordos people."
Zhang Shize said in his heart, you are still doing the same thing.
It was the same as the Battle of Hundred Households at Rock Beach. Put yourself to death and live again. Lan
Throw these 40,000 people into Jiuyuan. They had to fight desperately to hold the city. Otherwise, if the Mongols break through the city, they will definitely massacre the city due to their hatred of the Ming Dynasty.
They are not fools, they can only fight with the Mongols.
Wait until the army has finished attacking the Ordos Department. The Mongols were also tired of old soldiers. When the time comes, the army will push forward and completely defeat the Mongols. In this way, the Hetao area will be completely within your control. What a good plan.
It's a pity that these hard-working children have to suffer.
After this battle, I don’t know how many of these 40,000 people will be left.
Even if they are left, hasn't Marshal Yang already arranged a way out for them? Follow the master to play on the snowy plateau. It is estimated that from now on, I can only settle down there with Zang Nu. Descendants and descendants have guarded the border for the Ming Dynasty for generations.
But Mr. Zhang doesn’t care whether they live or die. As long as you don't put it in your own camp, you might stab it with a knife at some point. During this expedition, I didn't dare to leave such a big hidden danger. If I didn't deal with them, I wouldn't be able to sleep well. Lan
Regarding this matter, Mr. Zhang had deep resentment towards Donglin and the Jin Party.
I wholeheartedly approve of Yang Fan's handling of them.
"Not only those swordsmen, but also the civil servants should be sent." Mr. Zhang said meaningfully.
Yang smiled and said: "Think about it, if we transfer these people away, how could they not follow us to Jiuyuan? How could they plot against us at the critical moment when they are separated from these subordinates."
Zhang Shize smiled and said: "Yes, Guihua City is too small. I heard that Jiuyuan City was a rammed earth city built in the Tang Dynasty. Although it is not covered with bricks, the city wall is twelve miles long. Although it is seriously damaged. But add some mud, Add some more soil and re-build it, and it will be a new city."
Yang Fan said: "We sent three regiments over to supervise the battle team. Strict battlefield discipline, kill deserters, kill those who cower, and kill those who try to surrender. Otherwise, I worry that they will be defeated by the Mongols. We must also be on guard. We want them to surrender. There are 10,000 Beijing troops watching. They have to defend the city honestly and fight the Mongols."
"We also moved the main camp there. Those accompanying civilian officials have no reason not to go. The heavy artillery has also been transported there. We don't need heavy artillery to fight the Ordos people. They are civilized. The roads are muddy and it is difficult to transport heavy equipment." Lan
"After we have settled down, we will send out troops and leave the civil servants behind. Let the defenders of Guihua City watch for me and behead those who escape on the spot."
Zhang Shize smiled and said, "You don't leave any escape route for them."
