Chapter 597: Thousands of Miles of Battlefield, Thousands of Miles of Blood and Flames (4)

Hearing the suggestion of Park Yuxiong, who was familiar with the sea conditions, Yang Qiantu immediately ordered the fleet of Ponu Army to stop pursuing. At this time, they turned back to salvage the Japanese pirate sailors who were still struggling in the water. It was not that the Ponu Army naval commander was weak-hearted, but that the Japanese pirates were relatively valuable. They were the best slaves that the people of Ponu City dreamed of. The Japanese pirate slaves who could do farm work could be sold at a good price in Ponu City, and the war bonds sold by Zhang Dashuai also expected these prisoners to pay the interest. Yang Qiantu had another purpose in doing this, which was to eliminate those Japanese pirates in poor health and persevere in the sea until Ponu Army rescued them. Such slaves were good slaves who could do hard work.

But the harsh reality once again educated Yang Qiantu. It was impossible for people to survive in the cold sea water for too long. Apart from seven or eight Guan Ships and Xiao Zao ships with broken heads or tails and inactive bullets on the sea, the sea was full of broken corpses with broken arms and legs. They saw many corpses of Japanese pirates lying on broken wooden boards, but they did not see a single living person. When the Pou Nu warship entered the sea battlefield again, the remaining Japanese pirates no longer resisted and surrendered. Capturing prisoners at sea was a technical job. The Pou Nu Army used the ship's sidewalk machine cannon to deter them, and the musket soldiers held muskets to monitor them. Three people tied up the Japanese pirates who were pulled onto the ship one by one.

Yang Qiantu, the Navy General of the Po Nu Army, stood at the height of the ship building, watching his subordinates arresting Japanese pirates with great worries. Today, the naval naval battle exposed many problems, first of all, the accuracy of artillery shooting. According to the saying, the Po Nu Army's ten-kilogram can fire a range of ten miles, but it can only achieve results in about three miles. The eight-kilogram cannon at the stern did not play any role in this one-sided battle. The naval staff member Fosto said that the Bo Nu Army's artillery shooting accuracy was extremely high, and the Flang machine and man naval battle usually had to start the artillery battle within one mile.

If the Poulang Army fights against the Folang warship, the Folang Army basically cannot defeat the Folang Army ship. According to Foster, the most powerful ship cannon of the Folang Army, the twelve-pound gun has a maximum range of less than four miles and an effective range of less than two miles. If the warring parties want to defeat the counter-ship ship, they must fire at about one mile. Moreover, the power of the solid bomb is far less than that of the * invented by Marshal Zhang. The Poulang Army Navy can use only a few shots to sank the most powerful battleship of the Folang Army.

Although Fosto praised the artillery of the Pou Nu Army, Yang Qiantu did not dare to be complacent. In today's naval battle, the flags in the hands of the Pou Nu Army were too small, so that each ship could not see clearly the orders to fight each other. In order to avoid these situations in the future, Yang Qiantu ordered the captains of the ship to come to the flagship for the military discussion.

In spring, the grass in the Wuzhumuqin grassland is green, and cattle and sheep are scattered on the grassland to eat grass leisurely. The warm breeze drives away the cold air makes people feel refreshed. Zhang Ping'an, who is in the tent of the Ponu Army, is in no mood to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the grassland. He is surrounded by newspapers from all sides and makes him dizzy. In Hannanhe Guard, Chen Pie, the chief general of the Northern Camp of the Ponu Army, sets up a formation in the place and waits for the enemy to approach. Tian Peng's army and Zuo Erya's army, have already set up camps in the northeast forest of Wutuitu, while monitoring the movements of the Ross coalition forces, while repairing the troops to hoard combat supplies.

According to the urgent reports from the scouts of the mountain troops, after the Ross coalition entered the Wututzu grassland, it temporarily stopped its offensive momentum and repaired. The Lin Dankhan army in the west of the Esreg grassland was still standing still, and seemed to be cultivating one's own and self-cultivating one's own strength. The people in the Ponucheng Civil Affairs Office, Ponucheng, Ping'an City, Ping'an City and Pingshun City have begun to plow spring. The Civil Affairs Office hopes that the Ponucheng must not start a war during the busy farming season to avoid affecting the autumn harvest. An urgent report from North Korea said that it had forced the retreat of the Jurchen army in the North Korea, and there was no naval army journal yet.

The intelligence came from the Wufu Warehouse of the Ming Dynasty. Yuan Chonghuan, the general of Ji Liao, had already defeated North Korea. He took a boat to Shuangdao to visit Dongjiang Town. During the military parade on Shuangdao, Yuan Chonghuan ordered to kill Dongjiang General Mao Wenlong. After reading this intelligence, Zhang Ping'an couldn't help but sigh. Although the Ming Dynasty official army in Dongjiang was defeated, it still restrained the Jurgen's main army. The slave army left the Korean mainland and headed to Jeju Island. Without the Dongjiang army's restraint of the Jurgent Tatars, there would be no worries. The Jurgent army could do its best to deal with the Ming Dynasty.

Just when Zhang Ping'an was in trouble with the beheading of Mao Wenlong, the general general of the Ming Dynasty Dongjiang, Gu Xin, the chief of staff of the Po Slave Army, walked in from outside the account. He reported to Boss Zhang with an incredible expression: "Master General, Zarut Khanharbala hurriedly rushed to our camp with dozens of guards, saying that there was important military information to report to you in person. I asked him what important military information he had to come to him in person, but he didn't say it."

"You little face, what's hard to guess? Harbala is going to betray Tumot Khan! You don't think about it. My main army of the Po Slave Army stayed in Wuzhumuqin. Wuzhumuqin Khan Amugulen will come to pay his respects in a few days. Why did he come? Isn't he just want our Po Slave Army to leave here early? Our more than 100,000 troops will make them unable to sleep!"

Zhang Ping'an sighed in his heart. Since he guessed that the Uygur army had been hiding from the Tumot Khan tribe, he issued a reward of 5,000 gold coins. Under the heavy reward, he also issued a command order. Any Mongolian tribe who dared to hide the Uygur army would be destroyed if he knew it and did not report it. If anyone could find the traces of the Uygur army, he could not only receive a bounty, but also obtain a pasture and grassland with abundant water and grass in the Tumot Khan tribe. As a result, as soon as his command order was released, the Mongolian tribes in the south of the desert sent many caravans of various colors to the Tumot Khan tribe.

These Mongolian Khan were very smart because when Zhang Dashui issued the order of the commander, the three Khans of Wuzhumuqin, Ordos and Zarut were present. The order of the grassland overlord seemed to be targeting the Tumot Khan tribe. In just a few days, Zarut Khanharbala came to report the news. Zhang Ping'an was quite proud of it. He had no idea about these Mongolian wild wolves. For these prairie wolves, gold was far less affordable than getting a large prairie ranch.

Zhang Ping'an asked his personal guard to invite Harbala Khan into the commander's tent, and Zhang Youhe, the chief of the personal guard camp, accompanied Harbala to meet with Marshal Zhang. As usual, Harbala first praised Marshal Zhang's wise and magical martial arts, and the sun did not set on the grassland. Then, he used the ferocious animals recognized by the Mongols as a metaphor to raise the grassland overlord Zhang Ping'an one by one. Finally, he summarized it with a dry mouth that Marshal Zhang is the real overlord who is invincible on the grassland. When Harbala performed, Zhang Ping'an smiled and praised.

In fact, in Zhang Ping'an's heart, all ethnic unity and harmony are empty words, and the suppression of the Mongols by the Pou Slave Army is obvious to all. It is not that Zhang Ping'an does not want to be generous, but that in the early days of the Pou Slave Army ruling the grassland, he must use bloody means to suppress all the Mongolians' thoughts of rebellion. The soft means are only a policy that can be implemented when foreigners completely surrender. The cunning grassland jackal wolf Zhang Ping'an, although among all the old Mongolian Khan kings,

Having established the positive example of Harbala, Zhang Ping'an has always been wary of Zharut Khan Harbala. Therefore, in the area controlled by the Posou Army, Zhang Ping'an did not treat all religions equally, but vigorously promoted Buddhism and the Taoism of the Han people. Other religions were completely suppressed under his suggestion. Although Zhang Ping'an himself was not very religious, he also knew that anyone needed spiritual sustenance, and teaching people to be good became an inevitable choice.

When Harbala was almost performed, Zhang Ping'an said, "Harbala Khan, do you still need to be so careful when we have a relationship! You and my brothers join forces to deter all those who dare to rebel in the grassland. King Hardan of Tumot Khan has been a little confused recently. Our brothers have to remind him!"

Harbala, who was in his fifties, was called a brother by Zhang Ping'an, which made Harbala very proud. During the Battle of Baishan, Harbala blocked the flying knife for Zhang Ping'an on the battlefield and received generous rewards from Marshal Zhang after the war. The Mongolian Zarut tribe changed from a tribe of 20,000 to a big tribe of 70,000. He, the Khan, could also be on par with other Khans in the south of the desert. The grassland overlord Zhang Ping'an made gold on the territory of Zarut. After receiving the support of the Zarut tribe, he gave the Zarut tribe a lot of compensation in material terms.

The theme of today was pointed out in the words of Zhang Dashuai of the Pokémon Army, which shows that he guessed what he wanted to do. Indeed, a caravan of the Zarut Khan tribe discovered the whereabouts of the Uygur people on the west side of the Tumot Khan tribe. Harbala humbly reported to Zhang Dashuai: "Lion on the grassland, after receiving your order, I sent someone to set out west from the Uygur grassland, and found a large area of ​​Uygur people's ranch near the Mu Us Desert on the west side of the Tumot Than tribe. According to the caravan I sent, the Uygur people walked out of the desert and died about 100,000 old and weak. The Mongolian cavalry led by the younger brother of Borjiha of 70,000 Lindankhan, guarded their safety on the east side of the Uygur people's settlement!"

As he said that, Harbala took out a sheepskin map from his arms and pointed out the location of the Uygur people to Zhang Damao. Looking at the inaccurate map in Harbala's hand, Zhang Ping'an called Chief of Staff Gu Xin and asked the staff to bring the map of the Tumot tribe and search with him for the location of the Uygur people and the Borjiha tribe. Finally, they found the location of the Uygur people camp on the map. After Zhang Ping'an carefully looked at the map, he couldn't help but admire the people who made suggestions from this time.

On the map, millions of people in Uygur are crowded in a small valley less than 300 miles from east to west and 60 miles wide from north to south. So many people are crowded here, not only food shortage, but also a large number of livestock deaths due to sparse grass. The Po Slave Army placed the focus of the exploration in the eastern and southern parts of Tumot Khan's tribe, and completely ignored the edge of the flat northwest desert. (To be continued)
