Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 426
When Da Ming was full of ambition and was planning to declare his existence to the world for the first time, to aspire to world hegemony, Feiyangu and his remnants of the Qing Dynasty were preparing to spend their winter by the bank of the Balkhash Pool.

At least Feiyanggu fulfilled his promise to the restored emperor of the Ming Dynasty and appeared in the area west of the Balkhash Pool within the year.

Fei Yanggu looked a lot older in this year, even though he was only a young man in his twenties, his face was already covered with weather and wrinkles, even because he had been galloping on horseback for a long time, he didn't care about his appearance, He has a beard.The money rat tail hanging on the back of his head has also become longer and thicker, like a pig's tail.

The Balkhash Pond has been frozen. Feiyanggu looked at the large lake with unknown emotions in his heart.

Dai Peng also became a lot thicker. Not only did he not lose weight, but he became stronger, and he even had a belly.Many powerful warriors of the Tungusic race are not the image of a healthy body in people's impression, but instead have thick limbs, a thick and short neck, and a big belly.These Tungus warriors are proficient in wrestling and have great strength. They can basically defeat those so-called warriors who are full of muscles with ease.

"The east side of the lake may have been taken by Su Shuhuan," Dai Peng said.

Fei Yanggu said indifferently: "The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the most important reason why he was willing to let us go west is that he covets the vast land to the west. Whether it is Huihui here, Kazakhs on the grassland, or even Other nomads, mountain people, and farmers, in order to survive, we must slaughter and enslave them, and leave a piece of unowned land. This is the time for the Ming people to enter, and they will turn these lands into It opened up a vast territory that the Ming Dynasty never had."

Dai Peng wondered: "This is a damn barren land, what do the Han people want it for?"

"Anyone who intends to become the king of all ages will not mind the fact that he conquered less land. In ancient times, there was Alexander and Genghis Khan, and Zhu Cixuan's heart must be no smaller than theirs." Fei Yanggu read a lot these days and got it from Daming. Many books, including many Western history books, Fei Yanggu almost relied on these new knowledge to persevere in his painful days.

Fei Yanggu added: "Su Shuhuan is a capable man."

Dai Peng also nodded fiercely: "At first, I thought that apart from Li Dingguo and Zhu Cixuan, there were no other powerful figures in the Ming Dynasty, but Su Shuhuan is really a good general in the world. With this person, I am afraid that half of the country can be leveled."

Fei Yanggu also praised: "A Su Shuhuan won the territory of the Western Kingdom for Zhu Cixuan. The Western Regions, Uzang and other places are all flat. He even chased all the way, almost following our footsteps. Wherever we left, he occupied Where is it? We tried to suppress the Ming army several times, but Su Shuhuan was always able to predict the enemy's opportunity first, which made it difficult for us to take advantage of it. We always lost in small-scale conflicts. We always faced the big ones. Almost once we launched, we would be attacked by the Ming army. A full-scale strike by the army."

Even though Fei Yanggu had already decided to follow Bai Mingxiu's will and head west all the way to Europe.But on the road, he will never be so obedient, and there will still be some small movements.But Bai Mingxiu regarded Fei Yanggu as a flock of sheep, and sent out his own shepherd, Su Shuhuan.Whenever Fei Yanggu moved a little out of bounds, Su Shuhuan's army would surround them and drive them westward.It's not that Fei Yanggu never thought of teaching him a lesson, but every small-scale sporadic conflict ended in a disastrous defeat for the Qing army.

Dai Peng snorted twice and said, "What's the use of chasing us? The Ming army has already occupied thousands of miles of land, and they don't have many soldiers and horses. These places are not Han soil. Sooner or later they will There’s going to be trouble.”

Fei Yanggu sighed and said: "Our knives killed too fiercely, and most of the survivors became our slaves. We took them away, leaving them a large piece of white land. The Han people wanted to control the Western Regions. Although it’s not easy, there won’t be any big difficulties in at least 20 years.”

Fei Yanggu saw it very clearly. He understood the role he had been given by Bai Mingxiu in this game. He was unwilling to accept it, but he had no choice.Behind him, the Northwest Army of the Ming Dynasty led by Su Shuhuan is still a terrifying force. Fei Yanggu estimated that as long as the Qing army starts fighting with the Northwest Army, he will most likely be the loser. Then he will reshape the Qing Dynasty in Europa. The dream is really about to be cut off.

Fei Yanggu and Dai Peng rode away from the lake and headed towards their big tent.This stretch of tents is endless, and Fei Yanggu's "Wang Tent" has a population of at least 10, the most important of which are the main force of his new army, then the Eight Banners, and then the slaves who support them.

Because the Manchu Qing Dynasty had become a large nomadic tribe alliance, Feiyanggu had to divide his troops into multiple banner tents for nomadic herding.Fei Yanggu's royal tent is the flag tent of Zhengbai Banner. In fact, it mainly consists of more than 2 civilian households in Zhengbai Banner, plus 2 new troops, and tens of thousands of slaves.Other banners basically have more than [-] bannermen, and then add tens of thousands of slaves. The population of each banner is between [-] and [-] to more than [-].

The new army is a completely different system. Fei Yanggu basically stationed a force of about one Xie in each banner. Only the Zhengbai Banner led by him has more than 3 people, which is equivalent to three divisions.Moreover, the new military associations in each banner account did not obey the orders of the banner account commanders, but were directly assigned by Fei Yanggu.

Each banner tent will divide more than ten Jiala to graze separately, but the Jiala of the same banner basically set up tents in adjacent areas and can be integrated quickly.

When he arrived at his royal tent, Fei Yanggu saw Chenglin whose armor was still stained with blood.

"I'm back, Cheng Lin."

"Marshal!" Cheng Lin got off his horse and saluted.

"The general has fulfilled his mission and has wiped out the three larger tribes in the Zhongyuzi tribe. This time, we have harvested more than [-] cattle and sheep, and more than [-] horses. Our tribe is anxious to survive the winter."

Fei Yanggu was very pleased: "Well done, Cheng Lin, you are the most capable."

Dai Peng was also happy and asked, "How many slaves have you captured?"

"There are more than 7000 people, more women and children, and some are young and old. If there is a shortage of supplies in the future, we can kill some of them." Cheng Lin said without any burden.

It is very difficult to spend the winter on the Inner Asian grasslands. During this season, the Manchus and Qing Dynasties had no way to migrate and could only set up camp.Because the total population of the eight banners of the Qing Dynasty exceeded 80, the consumption was very large.Feiyanggu doesn't care too much whether his slaves will starve to death or freeze to death. The most important thing is that the core Eight Banners must be preserved.

Now he only has [-] to [-] flags, but in fact, there are many Han army flags and Mongolian flags, plus the "wild Jurchens" of the Tungusic fishing and hunting tribe recently brought from Baishan Heishuiguai.If the slave died, he could catch it again, but Qi Ding really couldn't afford to lose.
