Chapter 836: Pioneer Attacks for the Moon
After the generals gathered together, Li Dingguo ordered Liu Xingming to lead his troops to check the situation.
First, we should figure out the reality of the Junggar people, and second, we should give Liu Xingming the opportunity to show off as much as possible.
Now Li Dingguo has completely regarded Liu Xingming as his nephew. Whenever he has a little chance, he will try his best to show Liu Xingming and make him achieve military achievements.
After all, there are many capable people in the army, but there are only a handful of people who can truly get the opportunity to grow.
If it weren't for Liu Tichun's relationship, it would be impossible for Liu Xingming to achieve such a rapid promotion speed.
But this is what happens in the world, and there is no absolute fairness.
People with backgrounds are more likely to succeed.
People without background need to make more efforts to succeed.
Liu Xingming certainly understood Li Dingguo's good intentions.
In fact, his growth rate has been very fast in the past two years.
He was no longer the young boy he used to be because he knew very well that the Liu family needed him to take on the burden and take responsibility.
Because Liu Xingming went to inquire about the news, he did not bring too many people, but instead ordered 5,000 people to the Ur area where the Junggars invaded.
The Ur area is actually an alpine pasture and a very famous pasture in Yerkand.
The Junggars entered from here, which meant that they could not understand the meaning.
That's where they need to grazing.
Although the Yili grassland is also very plump, its bearing capacity is limited after all. Now the Junggar people reproductive speed is very fast, making their bearing capacity close to saturation. If you do not find a new grassland as soon as possible to relieve the pressure, you will collapse sooner or later.
So even though he had just been defeated, Sengge, who had been recuperating for several months, still made a comeback with the Junggar people.
There was no way, the grassland in Yarkand was so plump that he could not stop.
Liu Xingming didn't think there was anything.
Anyway, he had been in the Western Regions for not short time, and he had been with King Junggar for so long. He knew better than anyone else what the people were thinking about.
It's just another battle, what's there to be afraid of?
Liu Xingming's experience in fighting is now very rich and he will not be timid at all.
His father Liu Tichun seemed to have adapted to his son's behavior of walking around the country with his shoulders and resisting the banner. He only gave a few instructions and said nothing more.
After all, when the child is old, he always has to go out and make a living.
However, Liu Xingming led his troops to the Ur area and found many strange scenes along the way.
For example, the herdsmen bring cattle and sheep for a special session.
This is absolutely invisible in the Central Plains.
Liu Xingming felt it was very interesting for a moment, so he couldn't help but take a few more glances.
But later he gradually felt that things were not that simple.
Because almost all herders' special sessions are heading south.
Where is the south?
It was the most barren area of the Yarkand Khanate.
They gave up the plump pasture but went to the barren place to have a special session without hesitation. There is no reason.
The only possibility is that they get the news that the Junggars will attack immediately. If they cannot evacuate in time, they may bump into the Junggar army.
According to the customs of nomadic tribes in the grassland, once captured, they will become their slaves. They will not only lose their freedom but also have to be a cattle and a horse, without any dignity.
Therefore, the herdsmen of Yarkand would rather escape to the south than stay behind.
hiss.
Thinking of this, Liu Xingming gasped.
If this is true, the herdsmen of Yarkand have not trusted the Ming army from the beginning.
They believed that the Ming army might not be able to defend the Yarkand region. In other words, they believed that the Ming army might not be able to stay in the Yarkand region for a long time.
Just like the Central Plains dynasties in the past, whenever they get the opportunity, they will come to the Western Regions to show off their power. But what if they show off their power?
Didn’t he just withdraw back to the Central Plains?
After all, compared with the Western Regions, the flower world in the Central Plains is still more attractive.
But Liu Xingming didn't think so.
They came to the Western Regions this time to really want to develop the Western Regions as the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
If you have been separated from the Central Plains cultural circle for so long, if you can no longer make any achievements, then the Western Regions may really be drifting away from the Central Plains.
Only through continuous efforts can generations take root in the Western Regions truly enter the cultural radiation of the Ming Dynasty.
As for these herdsmen who moved with their families...
Let them go.
There are some things that Liu Xingming doesn't want to say, or even if he says it, others won't believe it.
In this case, there is indeed no need to force the concept, which will not have any effect except to cause the other party's annoyance.
The best choice is to first defeat the Junggar people and be afraid of them, and then let these herdsmen go and see them.
The people of the grassland believe in the strong, and they will feel at ease only when they see the Junggars look like fragile lambs in front of the Ming army with their own eyes.
The more you go north, the more common this situation is.
When I approached the Ur area, I couldn't see anyone anymore.
Because the herdsmen who could be moved had already left, the rest were the elderly, weak, sick and disabled who could not move.
This is no different from the migrating cattle, sheep and horses.
Liu Xingming looked around and saw that the alpine pasture was very plump.
The green and green color will occasionally appear bright colors. It is the color of wild flowers. With these embellishments, the green screen will not look too monotonous.
"Mr., are we going to camp here?"
"Yes, Major General, are we camping on the riverside?"
Generally speaking, camping on the riverside is a good choice.
First, it can be used to build a pot to make rice, and second, it is also very convenient to get drinking water.
The most important thing is that if the enemy attacks, the enemy can deal with it as soon as possible without any panic.
Liu Xingming came from a general and was influenced by his childhood.
Liu Tichun told him that he had precautions for camping more than once, and Liu Xingming also kept it secretly in his heart.
Now it is his turn to command troops alone, and all this knowledge has come to be used.
"Well, just camp on the riverside, five people are in a tent."
The tent that Ming Jun brought this time was not big or small. It was neither the kind of triangle tent that was one of two people, nor the kind of large tent that could sleep with more than a dozen people.
This tent can sleep about four or five, and it is relatively quick to set up.
"Get orders."
The personal soldiers immediately took their fists and left.
Obviously, this pasture is salivating from the Junggars.
They will definitely come.
Since this is the case, there is no need for the Ming army to continue moving forward, just set up camp here.
Sooner or later, the Junggars will take the initiative to go.
At that time, all the Ming army had to do was to suddenly kill the Junggars and catch them off guard.
"Zhonggar barbarians, if you want to offend Daming Tianwei, just come here. I will ask you to taste some colors."
