Chapter 1238: Slaves become army
During the Battle of Yanmen Pass, the Xiongnu Chanyu Yufuluo advocated giving all his strength to increase the strength of the Xiongnu to fight Qin Hao and decide Bingzhou.
At that time, Temujin strongly opposed it, but because of his slight words, he was unable to stop it. In the end, although the Huns captured Yanmen Pass, they lost the battle with Qin Hao, and even lost the three counties in the north and Hetao.
Now that Yuan Meng has seized Zhenbei Pass, Temujin is like Yu Fuluo at the time, advocates exerting all the power of Yuan Meng to fight Qin Hao to determine the victory or loss, while those who stand up to oppose him are Tolei.
Look at the past and look at the present, how much the situation looks at each other.
At that time, Temujin was not Shanyu. From the perspective of individuals and ministers, he was considering the entire ethnic group, so he was a conservative at that time.
Now Temujin has become the Emperor of Yuanmeng and has established the huge Yuanmeng Empire. In his heart, ambition and ambition are the most important. Even the entire Yuanmeng is a tool to realize his ambitions, so Temujin has become a radical now.
Of course, Temujin does not think he is a radical. After all, what he wants to fight for dominance is a momentum of being invincible. If he doesn’t even have the courage to die, such a person will definitely not be the final winner.
In Temujin''s view, the reason why his brother Yu Fuluo failed was because he did not match his ambition, so he was defeated by Qin Hao with his weak forces, and Temujin was not comparable to Yu Fuluo and others.
Temujin was never convinced when he lost to Qin Hao. After all, he was not the main general in that battle, and he didn''t know Qin Hao at all. He lost so badly when he was careless.
After so many years, Temujin has never been defeated in the grasslands, and has reached an extremely profound realm of military tactics. Temujin is confident that he will never lose to Qin Hao when the gap in military strength is not big. This is where he dares to use his country''s strength to fight against Qin Hao.
"Qin Hao, don''t think that if there are too many people, you will win. Wars cannot be won by having too many people." Temujin said in his heart.
At this time, Murong Ke stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the total strength of the Qin and Jin coalition forces is as high as 580,000. Even if our Yuan Dynasty transferred another 100,000 troops from the country to participate in the war, it can only ensure that our army''s main force exceeds that of the Qin and Jin coalition forces.
With 440,000 cavalry, our army can only remain unbeaten. If we want to achieve the final victory, we may need to continue to increase our troops. ”
Temujin naturally knew about this, but with Yuan Meng''s current national strength, he could only bear so much military force. If he continued to recruit, Yuan Meng himself might collapse.
"But now Dayuan can no longer dispatch his troops?" Temujin sighed.
But Murong Ke showed a calm smile and said, "Your Majesty, the Jin army can use the people as cannon fodder, so can I, Dayuan.
No, it''s not cannon fodder. The men on my grassland are all strong and can ride horses and shoot arrows. Even the newly formed army is stronger than the veterans of some Han princes. ”
"But I have ordered the recruitment of 200,000 new troops. If I continue to recruit new troops, I may not be able to afford it in the country." Temujin said with a confused look on his face.
Just look at the Jin army and you will know that the strategy of being a soldier in the whole country can only be used on its own territory, but cannot attack from the outside, so for Yuan Meng, you can now bear the limit.
Although Temujin had the determination to fight Qin Hao with all his national strength, if Yuan Meng was defeated for this battle, this would be a completely different concept.
"Your Majesty, in fact, I still have a strong force in the Yuan Dynasty. If Your Majesty is willing to give them a chance to make meritorious service, the difficulties our army is facing now will naturally be solved."
After hearing Murong Ke''s words, Temuzhen''s face changed. He instantly guessed Murong Ke''s intention, and then said in a deep voice: "What are you talking about...slaves?"
The Yuanmeng Empire and the Qing Empire were both semi-slave countries. Both nobles and civilians in the country had raised slaves, which was normal for Yuanmeng, and these slaves were naturally blocking the way of the Yuanmeng establishment.
Temujin unified the southern Mobei, northern Mobei, and the eastern and central Xianbei. Most of the people naturally accepted and integrated into the Yuanmeng, but many people were unwilling to surrender, and these people all became slaves, living a life that was worse than pigs and dogs and was in danger of peace. Most of them were Xianbei people.
"Although these slaves were from all races on the grassland before, there are only two races left on the grassland, Yuan Meng and Manchu Qing. As long as Your Majesty gives them the opportunity to get rid of slaves, I believe they will be willing to fight for Your Majesty." Murong Ke said slowly.
Temujin''s brows frowned tightly.
Although Murong Ke''s plan was suspected of pleading for Xianbei slaves, it was the real harm to the interests of the nobles. However, the weakening of the nobles'' strength was conducive to the concentration of royal power, but the implementation at this time was not conducive to the unity of domestic forces.
After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, Temujin finally decided to adopt it.
This plan seems to be a double-edged sword, but the threats are in the future, but for the present it is a benefit and a harm.
Nowadays, the most important thing for Yuan Meng and Temujin is to defeat Qin Hao, and since there is a way to increase the chance of winning, Temujin will certainly not let it go.
Most of the slaves in Yuan and Mongolia were light and strong, after all, the old and weak would not survive now. If these suitable slaves were integrated into an army, at least one hundred thousand troops would be added to Temujin.
"After passing the order, all the slaves in the Yuan Dynasty who were immediately integrated, and then reorganized the young and strong men into an army and went south to Hetao. As long as they survived until after the war, they could all be removed from their slaves.
Elderly, women and young children who cannot join the army can get rid of their slaves immediately if their relatives join the army. ”
Temujin''s order had a great impact on the Battle of Hetao, and of course it had a greater impact on the Yuan and Mongolian countries, which made the Yuan and Mongolia transition from a semi-slave and semi-feudal state to a feudal state.
"Your Majesty, although we can use slaves to attack the city in the future, it will take some time for the reorganization of slaves. Before the slave army arrives, our army will never be able to use the main force to consume the militia of the Jin army." Tuolei said with a serious face.
This is something that Temujin knew, after all, the main force is the key point of this battle, and it is undoubtedly stupid to use the main force to fight for cannon fodder.
"There is another point. Your Majesty. The scale of the Hetao Battle has long exceeded the estimate. Most of the cattle and sheep that serve as military rations have eaten, and the arrival of the slave army will undoubtedly increase the burden on our army."
Tuo Lei''s face was extremely solemn and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the domestic military ration reserves are not rich. Our army must defeat the Qin and Jin coalition forces within two months, otherwise even if he successfully seizes Hetao, this winter will probably be difficult."
The cold winter and food shortage are the two biggest difficulties facing the grassland. If these two come up, it will be a nightmare for any tribe.
If Temujin continues to fight with Qin Hao, these two difficulties will undoubtedly come at the same time. However, Temujin is not worried about this, but instead smiles lightly: "You are not more worried about the problem of food and grass. I have found a solution."
