Chapter 115 Instigate

In addition, they also found out several small tribes. Through the tea salt obtained from the mutual market, they ran to trade with Jiannu and wanted to make a lot of money from it, but soon the news came into the customs, and Yu Xiaotian ordered to shut down the mutual market again and stop the transactions with all Mongolian tribes.

Yu Xiaotian announced the names of these small tribes at both ends of the snakes and rats, telling those Mongolian ministries that these tribes had broken their promises, which led to the closure of the mutual market. They should not complain about the Ming Dynasty. If they want to reopen the mutual market, they must destroy these treacherous small tribes.

If the Mongolian departments can't solve these small tribes, then don't expect to reopen the market.

At this time, these small tribes at both ends of snakes and rats have become street mice. Their behavior led to the closure of the mutual market and cut off everyone's way of life. Of course, they became public enemies. The ministries immediately began to organize soldiers and began to wage war and suppress these small tribes.

As a result, in less than two months, these unlucky tribes were solved by their Mongolian brothers. All the men of several small tribes were killed, the children were taken away and became people of other tribes. The women were all divided and completely erased them from the grassland.

Taking the heads of these small tribal men, Yu Xiaotian made grace outside the law, reopened the mutual market, and continued to trade with the Mongols. This method completely pulled Mongolia away from the side of Jiannu, making the Mongolian tribes stand on the opposite side of Jiannu again and become the enemy of Jiannu.

Moreover, Yu Xiaotian also used the Mongolian spies who were released back to convey a message to the Mongolian ministries at the end of the 14th year, ordering them to send the best soldiers from their respective tribes to enter the customs, join the Yu family army, and train them into cavalry.

Any tribe that refuses to agree to send the best tribal warriors into the customs will be disqualified from each other and will be ordered to remove them from the grassland.

But if you agree, you can exchange a batch of tea salt and cloth for their tribe to improve the quality of life of their tribe.

With equal emphasis on kindness and power, the Mongolian ministries had to accept this condition and sent the best soldiers in their tribe to enter the customs and join the Yu family army.

Through such means, Yu Xiaotian suddenly obtained 5,000 very elite Mongolian cavalry. These Mongolian cavalry have grown up on horses since childhood. Their riding skills are extremely exquisite, and the battle is very brave. In addition, these Mongolian soldiers are also quite straightforward. As long as they are a little better for them, they are very Happy and loyal.

Yu Xiaotian ordered to give them favors, armed them, divided them into several cavalry battalions, and did not provide them with firearms. The bows and arrows in their hands were the best weapons.

After just a few months of retraining, these Mongolian cavalry battalions have strong combat effectiveness and the ability to devote themselves to the battlefield, and are by no means inferior to any cavalry unit in the world.

This time, Yu Xiaotian personally led his troops out to build slaves. These 5,000 Mongolian cavalry also joined the battle sequence and became the backbone of the cavalry in the Yu family's army, which made Yu's army fundamentally solve the shortcomings of insufficient number and quality of cavalry troops, and had a cavalry with strong combat effectiveness and mobility. At the same time, this cavalry unit is still extremely ferocious, and each of them is very hostile to Jiannu, becoming one of the sharpest minions in Yu Xiaotian's hands.

Although Huang Taiji is smart, he is at a loss for such a situation. He can't think of a better way to deal with Yu Xiaotian. He can only try his best to prepare for the war and strive to gain stronger combat power when Xiaotian launches the expedition against Liaodong so that they can survive.

In July of Chongzhen's 15th year, Huang Taiji finally waited for the news. Yu Xiaotian gathered a large number of soldiers and horses, personally took charge of the expedition, and led the army out of Shanhaiguan and headed for Liaodong.

At this time, there is also a Guanning army with 60,000 or 70,000 troops outside Shanhaiguan. In the past three years, Yu Xiaotian has not moved the Guanning army much in the name, but he has secretly bought many Guanning soldiers, either as a detailed work for him, or simply formed a system and turned to Yu Xiaotian.

In addition, he did not move the Guanning army, but replaced a large number of civilian officials with his people, and began to implement various new policies launched outside the customs, encouraging the cultivation of abandoned land, and strictly investigating all kinds of spies and generals who secretly colluded with slaves.

In recent years, although Yu Xiaotian has been providing supplies and soldiers with supplies and soldiers, as the domestic situation stabilized, he also began to reduce the supply of the Guanning army, especially in terms of food, which is very strict and no longer gives as much as before.

Yu Xiaotian ordered to verify the number of soldiers and horses of the Guanning army, carry out the number of soldiers of the Guanning army, find out the actual number of soldiers and horses under the command of these Guanning army, and distribute food and salaries to the Guanning army according to the fixed amount.

In the past, the generals of Guanning Army were very corrupt. In order to make money, they did not want the food allocated to them, but they wanted silver instead.

On the surface, this seems to save a lot of food transportation trouble, but in fact, most of the money has fallen into the pockets of those military generals and has become their private wealth.

From the second half of Chongzhen's 14th year, Yu Xiaotian no longer listened to their request and gave Guanning's army a quota of 50,000 people, stationed them in various places, and then provided them with food and salaries in strict accordance with the rated number of soldiers.

Although the generals of Guanning's army were very dissatisfied with this, with the calmdown of the situation in Guanning, Yu Xiaotian strengthened the defense force leading to the key roads in Guan and increased the layout of Yu's army. Obviously, he had been wary of the Guanning army outside Guan in advance, so these Guanning generals only dared to be angry and dare not say anything, and could only pinch their noses to admit it. .

Since the beginning of the fifteenth year, Yu Xiaotian has continuously issued orders to transfer part of the Guanning army into the customs for various reasons, and then put it under the control of the family army in the customs. Some of them have been verified to be seriously corrupted by the Mexican army, and several military generals who colluded with profiteers and construction slaves to trade in the early years were relieved of their military power.

These military generals refused to give in and tried to make trouble with their officers and soldiers in the customs, but Yu Xiaotian's people have spread the news widely among these officers and soldiers in advance. As long as they give up following their military generals to make trouble, they can get a lot of resettlement fee. In addition, they will be placed in the customs, and there is no need to Ripped off by these military generals.

In addition, under the coveted surveillance of the family army, these generals who were transferred into the customs and had just launched a mutiny. As a result, most of his officers and soldiers refused to listen to their encouragement. Yu Xiaotian quickly suppressed their mutiny, took down several generals who intended to rebel, and executed them to death in public.

Guanwaizu's birthday and other military generals of Guanning's army were shocked by this and began to submit to Xiaotian. Some military generals who refused to accept the adaptation were immediately stopped all the food and salary supply. The low-level officers who had been bribed below secretly encouraged a mutiny or with officials. The soldiers threw themselves into the customs and abandoned their former generals, or simply used force directly to do cruelty to their former generals.

The whole Guanning army fell into turmoil in the first half of Chongzhen. Gradually, these Guanning army generals began to find that they were losing effective control of their soldiers. Although they tried their best to suppress them, the effect was not good. Just before May, the Guanning army was stationed in various places. There have been more than a dozen mutiny between officers and soldiers.

These officers and soldiers refused to obey the control of their former military generals and put themselves into the hands of some newly transferred local officials in recent years, causing a considerable number of Guanning generals to lose control of their original army.

This secret provocation method is quite effective. In fact, soldiers are easy to divide. They themselves are recruited to join the army in order to make a mouthful of food. Now they listen to whoever pays them and feeds them. It turns out that those military generals have been feasting their own pockets with the blood of soldiers for so many years, except for the family. In addition to being good, the rest of the soldiers were the targets of their vigorous exploitation.

Now the officers and soldiers have heard the secretly encouraging, saying that as long as they no longer obey the orders of these military generals, they will no longer be stripped and can get a full amount of military money. At least there is no problem to support their families. For these officers and soldiers of the Guanning Army, this is undoubtedly very **. So it's easy for them to make choices.

When many generals found that they were a little unable to adjust their soldiers and horses, they realized that something had happened and were ready to bomb down, and it was too late, so a large number of Guanning troops outside the customs gradually broke away from the control of the original generals and turned to other local officials.

In this way, those former Guanning army generals immediately became tigers whose minions were pulled out and lost the capital to continue to bargain with the court. With the limited number of family diners they raised, they could not raise much waves at all.

A group of old generals of the family army were secretly transferred outside the customs and began to actually control a large number of soldiers and horses of the former troops of the Guanning army who defected. Through frequent defense, they were taken away from the sphere of influence of the original military generals and entered the customs for reorganification. Once they stepped into the customs, these officers and soldiers could not control their own fate, one of them The ruffians were selected and picked out of the army, and the rest was much easier to do. After reorganizing on the spot and redeploying back to the customs, they have been completely controlled by Yu Xiaotian.

Through this bloodless mutiny, Yu Xiaotian gradually gained the actual control of most of the Guanning army outside Guan, and overshadowed many of the original Guanning old generals, making the whole Guanning warlord system basically fall into a state of collapse at this time.

However, Yu Xiaotian did not immediately move these old generals of Guanning, but let them stay in their original positions and ignore them first. There was no other reason, just because the Jiannu had not been solved yet, and he was too tight for fear of forcing some of Guan Ning's old generals to run to surrender Jiannu.
