In addition, there is a larger relocation plan involving more indigenous people, which is to move all the people under the jurisdiction of the chieftains who participated in the rebellion to the northern region.
As for how to relocate, I believe Emperor Haojing has rich experience in this, and if the relocated population reaches hundreds of thousands, the benefits will be huge...
Normally, Mu Tianbo would be quite excited about this plan, but now his first priority is to cooperate with the Holy Emperor to conquer Mang Bai, and he really has no time or manpower to execute this plan.
But if the prisoners were only sent away, once the army entered Burma to fight, those relatives of the chieftain who were dissatisfied with the court would stir up trouble again, and half of Yunnan would have to repeat the same mistakes.
After learning from the pain, Mu Tianbo finally decided to implement the relocation plan under Ma Shiying's repeated lobbying and the advice of veteran general Long Zaitian.
All tribes that participated in the rebellion must move away regardless of whether they are willing to go north. Otherwise, it means having ulterior motives and evil intentions, and will be implicated.
According to preliminary estimates, the population involved will reach more than 500,000. Calculated at ten taels of silver per person, the total price will be as high as five million taels!
Calculating this, how many steam tanks can you buy?
When Ma Shiying saw the indigenous people, his eyes glowed with gold...
In order to show the wisdom of the imperial court, any chieftain who did not participate in the rebellion had no interest in the rebellion and could also obtain part of the land of the rebel chieftain.
As a price, the honest chieftains who received equal benefits must send troops to participate in Wang Division's second expedition to Burma.
After a lot of troubles, it was already December when Mu Tianbo led his army to invade northern Myanmar again.
Prior to this, the Burmese army reoccupied all the previously lost areas, and also took advantage of the chaos to encroach on a large area of Ming Dynasty land to the north.
It is equivalent to saying that the Northern Route Army has to fight the Burmese Army again, and everything has to start again...
At this time, the South Route Army had divided into three groups, marched upstream from the coastal areas, and invaded the hinterland of Myanmar for nearly 500 miles.
If it were not for the fact that the supply lines were frequently attacked by the Burmese cavalry, the Ming army's attack would have been deeper.
But Chongzhen was really puzzled by the fact that he had not seen the flying messenger sent by Mu Tianbo for a long time.
Mu Tianbo has always been respectful to him, and I have never heard of him being domineering and self-respecting in Yunnan.
This time, in conjunction with his sending troops to attack Myanmar, there should be no such thing as a double act.
Perhaps after Mangbai was defeated by the Ming Dynasty's army in the south, he transferred his main force to the north for a decisive battle with the Northern Route Army.
This is not impossible. After defeating the Northern Route Army, they can then turn around and concentrate on fighting against the Southern Route Army.
However, everything is just Chongzhen's guess, and the actual situation is unknown.
According to the current progress, it may take two or three years to eliminate Mang Bai's main force.
Retaking the entire Burma, that is, occupying most of the area here, will take about five years.
Because of Myanmar's terrain, the mountain infantry, mainly chieftain soldiers, will play a significant role.
Without these mountain infantry, even if Mangbai loses a large number of cavalry and infantry, he can still carry out guerrilla warfare in the mountains.
In comparison, the situation on the battlefield in Myanmar is already quite good.
In the northeastern battlefield, the 800,000-strong army led by Zhou Yuji encountered a large-scale guerrilla war by the Donglu after passing through the Songhua River in the Luwei section...
Due to frequent attacks by the Ming army in recent years, the main force of the Qing army has long been overwhelmed and no longer has the ability to fight a decisive battle with the Ming army.
Dorgon then proposed that the Qing army use Niulu as a combat unit, break it into parts, and take advantage of the high mobility of the cavalry to begin hit-and-run mobile operations in the Qing Dynasty.
Killing a barbarian is considered a gain. One is never too few, and a hundred are never too many. A little becomes more, gradually consuming Man Ming's military power.
Although this move was firmly opposed by Haoge, Shunji still agreed to Uncle Fourteen's suggestion.
The national and military power of the Qing Dynasty is not the same as in previous years. The first task now is to preserve its strength and strive to kill more barbarians.
Silver rewards can only be distributed in the form of seizures. What each ministry grabs is its own. The more work you do, the more you will get.
Based on the quality and quantity of their battle results and trophies, officers and soldiers of each department will receive corresponding titles and flag-raising treatment.
Because it was difficult to defeat the Ming army, they could not travel thousands of miles to plunder the pass, and they had to feed a large number of soldiers and horses.
To this day, the Qing Dynasty's treasury is basically exhausted, and Dorgon's proposal is also a no-brainer.
All banners and ministries must endure hardships and be self-reliant. Only in this way can we usher in the time of peace and prosperity.
Abatai unfortunately died of illness two years ago, and his eldest son Shang Jianyu and second son Bo and Tuo died in battles against the Ming Dynasty.
The third son Bo Luo and the fourth son Yue Le each led two Jia La men and horses in the Zhenghui Banner, and the remaining Jia La belonged to the fifth son Hedu.
Jirharang, who previously commanded the Xilan Banner, died of illness in Abatai less than half a month later, and he also left with him.
Ji'erharang's eldest son Fulton died of illness two years ago, his second son Jidu and his third son Ledu both died in battle, and his fourth son Balkan died of serious injuries.
The sixth son, Xi Tucu, is young, the seventh son, Gumei, the eighth son, Liuxi, the ninth son, Wuxi, and the tenth son, Helen, are all still young. The fifth son, Huilan, temporarily takes over the troops with the blue flag.
Considering that Jierhalang worked hard and worked hard without complaint during his lifetime, Shunji did not let others divide the Xianglan flag.
Otherwise, Huilan, who was in his early twenties, would be unable to stop his uncles from encroaching on the Lanlan Banner troops.
There is another reason, that is, whether the royal brothers take over or someone else takes over, it will be detrimental to themselves.
Shunji did not let outsiders get involved in the blue flag. As long as Jierhalang's four younger sons came of age, each of them could be assigned a Jiala man.
If you can't reach adulthood, then that's a different story...
At Jilharang's funeral, Haug cried bitterly, and afterwards gave Huilan some sincere advice.
After all, the two blue flags are a family, and as long as they are united, they can be invincible, and so on.
Although Huilan is young, she is not stupid and she is very clear about this uncle's intentions.
He declined Hauge's temptation on the grounds that it was not appropriate at the moment and he wanted to comply with the imperial edict.
Otherwise, if they agree to this uncle's proposal, the five brothers will not have a good life in the future.
Hauge failed in his bid for the throne and lost the right to inherit the two yellow flags, so he came up with the idea of inlaying a blue flag.
However, Huilan's unwillingness to give in made Hauge very angry, but he could not get angry easily.
Thinking about Zhenghui Banner is almost like daydreaming. Both Bolo and Yue Le have been fighting for many years.
They won't give in easily, let alone swallow them up. Even if Haoge can unite with Zhenghui Banner, there is no possibility.
The reason is very simple. Hauge's blue flag suffered heavy losses in almost every battle, while Du Du's gray flag was just the opposite.
Bolo and Yue Le had already seen Hauge's abilities on the battlefield. Compared with his eldest brother Du Du, Hauge was just a reckless man.
Therefore, the brothers are more willing to listen to Du Du's advice. They can just eat what Hauge said...
Now among the elders, Daishan, Abatai, Huangtaiji, and Jierhalang have all died in battle or died of illness. Only the younger Dorgon brothers among their peers are still alive.
Compared with Prince Rui Dorgon, the abilities of other people are really far behind. Shunji can only hope that the resourceful Uncle Fourteen can turn things around.
Last year, due to flooding, many farmlands were submerged, and the food harvest of the Qing Dynasty dropped significantly.
However, the flood also blocked the Ming army's large-scale attack, which was a blessing in disguise for the Qing Dynasty.
Shunji can only use combat troops to provide disaster relief to the people, otherwise people will definitely freeze to death in winter.
This year's precipitation is far less than last year, but it also means that the Qing Dynasty will be attacked by millions of Ming troops.
For safety reasons, Shunji had moved his concubines to a mountainous area thousands of miles away from Laluwei.
Like the Ming Emperor Hao Jing, he only ate four dishes at each meal, and many times the two vegetarian dishes were still wild vegetables.
This is also to reduce the pressure on defense and logistics, and we can no longer be as extravagant and wasteful as before.
The only ones accompanying him were the straight yellow flags, and the fringed yellow flags assigned to the royal brothers had also been sent out to fight.
Because the Fourteenth Uncle Dorgon had previously asked the Qing Dynasty’s royal division to invest more troops in this battle, the radiation range should be light, the penetration depth should be large, and the tactics and strategies should be used properly. Only in this way can Man Ming’s troops be consumed and contained The attack of the barbarian army.
In addition, Dorgon asked the Qing army to ambush the Ming army crossing the north bank of the Songhua River at the right time.
They will also take advantage of the dry season in the Songhua River in summer to send troops in units of Niulu into the original hinterland to raid the areas that have been digested by the Ming Dynasty.
If fully deployed, the entire battlefield would be two thousand miles wide from east to west and similar in length from north to south.
The purpose of Dorgon's arrangement was to cover up his own weaknesses and give full play to his strengths, so that while the Ming army was in the air, they were concerned about one thing and lost the other, and were finally forced to retreat.
After the beginning of spring, a large number of ships ordered by Zhou Yuji were successfully launched in Wuyewuwei and Asujiangwei.
In this way, Master Wang would not have to worry about how to cross the river even after entering the autumn flood season.
During the Ninth Northern Expedition, Zhou Yuji still had 800,000 troops in his hands, and it was estimated that Shunji's troops would not exceed 400,000.
The Ming army not only had an advantage in strength, but also had absolute advantages in technical equipment and firepower.
The number of steam tanks has reached 4,000, and on average every 200 people can receive fire support from one steam tank.
The number of cavalry equipped with hybrid war horses has reached 50,000, each of whom is equipped with a revolver rifle and grenades.
The combat effectiveness of this part of the cavalry alone is equivalent to the so-called iron cavalry of 150,000 to 200,000 people on the opposite side.
In order to cope with the ambush and guerrilla tactics that Braids might use, Emperor Haojing deliberately expanded the size of the special forces.
It has climbed from the original five thousand to three brigades and fifteen thousand people today.
Although there is suspicion of water injection, after some special training, the individual combat ability has been significantly improved compared to ordinary cavalry.
During the battle, the commander of the special forces Zhang Huangyan personally commanded the first brigade, while fellow juniors Zeng Ying and Li Yuanyin were in charge of the other two brigades.
The reason for the decentralized operations was that on the one hand, the Qing army almost did not dare to confront the Ming Dynasty's division. On the other hand, because the special forces were very powerful, they could hardly find opponents who could fight against three brigades of special forces.
After spreading the stall, you may gain something, and the battalion can be used as the main combat unit.
As soon as the opponent saw thousands of special forces rushing towards them like a flood, it would be strange not to be scared away!
A certain new emperor believed that only by maintaining a sufficient number of troops and investing a large number of special forces could the goals of countering ambush and countering guerrillas be achieved.
Each special operations brigade has implemented full-staff pack horses. Each special forces soldier has two horses. The mounts are hybrid war horses, and the backup horses are native horses, which can be used to carry supplies and equipment.
The logistics are horse-drawn carriages and are not equipped with steam tanks. The reason is that these things are inconvenient for mobile combat.
However, in order to ensure sufficient firepower, each battalion is equipped with small Folang aircraft and mortars, which are sufficient for battles and mountain battles.
But it is not without its shortcomings, that is, it is not equipped with airships, and its high-altitude reconnaissance capabilities are obviously insufficient, and it must rely on nearby main forces to provide corresponding intelligence.
Zhang Huangyan's special forces do not simply fight alone. They usually take the initiative after obtaining corresponding intelligence.
Searching for clues left by the enemy is usually the task of airships or reconnaissance cavalry. Otherwise, if they find that the Ming army's special forces are on the opposite side, they will not dare to act rashly.
After consecutive defeats, the reputation of the Ming Dynasty's special forces spread like wildfire and reached the ears of Shunji and Dorgon.
Through the confessions of the captured prisoners, the other party will choose to retreat voluntarily if they find troops similar to special forces.
You can choose to go head-to-head, but losing more than three or four times the number of troops to eliminate the special forces is completely worth the loss.
Zhou Yuji also learned from the prisoners the basic tactics adopted by Dorgon. He hit and ran away, grabbed a handful and escaped, which was completely similar to the rogue bandits in the pass back then.
In order to deal with this tactic, in addition to leaving 300,000 troops in the area south of Laluwei, Zhou Yuji also sent flying cavalry to Hong Chengchou and reported the situation to Emperor Haojing.
I hope Emperor Haojing will agree to Hong Chengchou leading his troops north to support him after seeing the whole story. After all, retaining 200,000 troops in the area south of Anle Prefecture is no longer of much use.
The remaining 500,000 people followed Zhou Yuji across the river and were divided into ten groups, each with 50,000 people, equipped with at least 5,000 cavalry and 200 steam tanks.
This move is to carry out a dragnet-style push in the vast Jiangbei area. If the Donglu can reproduce the skills they had in the Battle of Sarhu, they can come over.
Zhou Yuji believed that using 500,000 troops to attack one place would not only cost huge money but yield little, but also make the opponent afraid to fight Wang Shi.
Instead of doing that, it is better to take advantage of Shun Ji's guerrilla tactics. Wang Shi also launched a joint attack, leaving a loophole to lure the opponent to take the bait.
Of course, there are risks in doing this. If the prisoners were sent deliberately by Shunji, Zhou Yuji would be completely fooled.
But there are risks in military operations. The greater the risk, the higher the possible gains.
Even if a certain route or even several routes of the Ming army were attacked and defeated.
That can be regarded as using military force in exchange for constantly destroying the hinterland of Donglu and reducing its autumn harvest grain output.
Including last year's flood, Donglu has had to accept a sharp drop in food production for two consecutive years.
This is Zhou Yuji's purpose. If he cannot defeat the opponent on the battlefield, he will use this trick to starve the opponent to death.
Then it compressed the Donglu's activity area and drove them northward, eventually causing them to conflict with the Rakshasa people who were advancing eastward.
