Chapter 394: The Counterattack Begins
As long as the People's Army gradually popularizes some knowledge to the people, many men should be able to accept marrying an alien woman.
There is also an early stage that this alien woman must conform to the aesthetic concepts of Chinese people, including Tatars, Goryeo, and Japanese.
When the ruling territory of the People's Army has increased greatly, more land can be distributed to the people. For example, an adult man allocates 100 acres of land. Before the mechanical era, even if there are oxen, it will be difficult to plant 100 acres of land in time, and there are too few people.
At this time, it is a very good choice to take an alien woman as a concubine. There is a labor force in the family. Moreover, alien woman is not Chinese. As long as she doesn’t kill or beat her up as a disabled person, she can be beaten and scolded at will.
The suggestion is not to beat or scold, and live together. If there is too much hatred, maybe you will find an opportunity to die together by poisoning, setting fire, etc.
Among the interracial people, adult men, adult women and even older boys, girls have places to go. The older and younger people are not very useful, and the People's Army cannot always support them and needs to find a good place for them.
Well, overseas isolated islands are a very good choice. Give them some food to them and let them fend for themselves. The aliens they meet in the future can be treated like this. No matter what, the People's Army will definitely not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
Three days passed in a flash. The Lancer Division rested in the military camp outside the city of Peiping. After replenishing supplies, it went to the Bohai Station under the leadership of the division commander Tian Zhe. The Lancer Division came out of the pass from the Bohai Station and went north to enter the grassland. At the same time, the 83rd Division stationed in the Bohai Station sent more than a dozen cavalrymen to temporarily join the Lancer Division.
The 83rd Division has been stationed in the Bohai Sea for a period of time and often sends scouts into the grassland to reconnaissance. They are more familiar with the surrounding environment, at least more familiar than the Lancer Division. They are barely a guide, but it is not possible to be farther away from the Bohai Sea. They can only rely on the Lancer Division themselves.
In addition, people who know the Tatar language and who can grazed join the Lancer Division. The Lancer Division caught the Tatars and did not know the Tatar language was a problem. It was also a problem to seize a large number of cattle, horses and sheep and cannot drive them to the border alive. Since they are all problems, then look for people who can solve the problem to join.
Wang Shengrong also followed the Lancer Division to the Bohai Station and personally sent the Lancer Division into the grassland. Wang Shengrong would stay in the Bohai Sea for a while, waiting for the Lancer Division to return.
The Lancer Division has five thousand cavalry, each equipped with a war horse, and the supplies they carry are limited. They will not stay on the grassland for too long, and will even return quickly after enough results.
The Bohai Institute had a short rest. With Wang Shengrong, Zhang Xinquan and a group of People's Army soldiers watching from the Bohai Institute, Tian Zhe led 5,000 cavalry of the Lancer Division to rush out of the Bohai Institute and rushed towards the north!
"Wan Sheng!"
The army set off, and the scouts were ahead. Five cavalrymen were a reconnaissance team. Multiple reconnaissance teams had already taken one step ahead of the Lancer Division and explored northward to find the targets of the Lancer Division. These reconnaissance teams carried a telescope that could detect the enemy in advance, retreat in time, and lead the army to encircle and suppress it.
This time, the Lancer Division had two purposes for the battle against the prairie. First, revenge, and second, encirclement and suppression of nomadic tribes and obtain cattle, horses and sheep.
In the eyes of some people who have only a slight understanding of nomadic peoples, nomadic people usually live in the form of tribes, with hundreds, thousands or even tens of thousands of people in a tribe. However, it is very rare for tens of thousands of people to live in one place in a tribe, and more often do grazing in Awule.
The most basic unit of nomadic people is the account, one account represents a yurt and one household lives.
Awule is similar to the villages on the land of China. It is the most basic administrative division of nomadic peoples. Each Awule has at least seven tents and is close relatives. It can be said that most people in Awule have blood ties, and men and women in Awule cannot get married.
Several Awule formed Atayimak, and several Atayimak formed one tribe. The small tribe had nearly 100 accounts, hundreds of accounts, thousands or even thousands of accounts in medium-sized tribes, and more than ten thousand accounts in large tribes.
It can be said that in most cases, the Tatars were scattered on the prairie in units of Awule and lived a nomadic life, grazing large herds of cattle, horses and sheep. Because grazing cattle, horses and sheep requires a large area of grassland, even the adjacent Awule is far away, calculated at least in units of twenty miles.
Twenty miles are not very far away on the prairie. The Tatars rode their horses and rode their horses to reach them in just one or two quarters of an hour.
It is not absolute. Once you encounter a place with lush water and grass, more people can live in this place. Often, the core of the tribe is in a place with lush water and grass. Then, with this as the center, Ata Ayimak and Awule, the subordinates of the tribe, are all scattered.
A Ul only has seven tents at least, and the number of cattle, horses and sheep grazing will not exceed 1,000. Such a goal is too small. Tian Zhe intends to destroy a small tribe or multiple Atayimaks of the Tatars. The first battle of the prairie division is considered to be successful.
It was just the first day after the Lancer Division entered the prairie, the scouts did not find any trace of the Tatars. Tian Zhe did not feel strange about this. It took only a few days for more than 200,000 Tatars to invade the border, and the Tatars lost more than 50,000 people and suffered heavy casualties.
Under such circumstances, the Tatars who were originally grazing in areas closer to the border migrated north, worried that the enemy would attack.
However, Tian Zhe believed that the Tatars would not leave too far. The Tatars were good at riding and shooting, and they could not conquer the border, but they were not worried about the enemy coming. In the eyes of the Tatars, the enemies on the southern Chinese land were not very good at riding and shooting. If they really dared to come, the Tatars would gather again and drive them out of the prairie.
After the Tatars withdrew their troops, no one was even sent to monitor the border. This is how the Tatars despise the People's Army.
In fact, the Lancer Division is indeed not very good at riding and shooting. After a long period of training, the Lancers are good at muskets and horse riding, but the two cannot do it together.
The People's Army is still equipped with a front-mounted rifle, and it is relatively troublesome to load ammunition. Generally, there are only two ways of attack. The war horse stops, sits on the back of the horse or dismounts to shoot the enemy.
The range of muskets is much longer than that of bows and arrows, which is the advantage of the Lancer Division in the face of Tatar cavalry.
It was dark, and the Lancer Division stopped and prepared to spend the first night on the prairie. The night was the time when the Lancer Division needed to be vigilant the most, especially the moon was not even the night, and the prairie was pitch black. If an enemy attacked at this time, the muskets would not be able to exert their full power.
