Since ancient times, the surrounding area of ​​Dongsheng City has been the focus of competition between farming and nomadic peoples. When the Central Plains court is strong, it will usually build a city near Dongsheng and use it as the front line to fight against nomadic peoples. When the Central Plains court is weak, the defense line will shrink south to Yulin, or even to Suide.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the surrounding area of ​​Dongsheng was occupied by Henan King Kuogut Timur (named Wang Baobao in the Han Dynasty, and was Zhao Min's brother in Jin Yong's novels). After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang sent troops to expel Kuogut Timur from Dongsheng, and Dongsheng was controlled by the Han people.

The good times did not last long, and the Mongols quickly entered Dongsheng again. The Ming Dynasty had lost its aura when it was first established, so it had to build the Great Wall in Yulin to prevent the Mongols from entering Shaanxi. This situation has continued to this day.

Now, Zhang Fengyi has captured Dongsheng City and changed the situation that has lasted for more than a hundred years, indicating that the power comparison between the grassland and the Central Plains has undergone a fundamental change again.

To the south of Dongsheng is a solid border line such as Yulin Guard and Shenmu Fort. After passing the border line, you will enter Shaanxi, one of the core areas of the Central Plains; to the east of Dongsheng, it is a hilly area, and the natural danger of the Yellow River runs between Hedong and Dongsheng; to the west of Dongsheng, it is an 800-mile vast sea with a shortage of water and grass, which is difficult to cross; to the north of Dongsheng, walk another two hundred miles to reach Daqingshan, the core area of ​​the Mongolians, where the water and grass are fertile, and it is known as the south of the Yangtze River on the frontier.

No matter how you look at it, Dongsheng's geographical location is very important. Sure enough, after Zhang Fengyi captured Dongsheng City, the Second Army of the Tiger Roar Legion left Yulin Guard and moved to Dongsheng City.

What made the Mongols even more depressed and wanted to vomit blood was that more than 30,000 civilians turned to construction workers on the spot, began to quarre and build foundations. The purpose was not to be found: to build a solid city defense in Dongsheng!

Moreover, more than 30,000 civilians were obviously just early. Within seven or eight days after the Jingzhou army controlled Dongsheng City, tens of thousands of civilians arrived to transport food and grass and join the ranks of building cities.

Due to famine and sheep eating, Shaanxi is the most in short supply of manpower. For Xiong Wencan, as long as there is enough food and grass, it is difficult to organize 300,000 civilians to go to Dongsheng.

As the civilians were building a city, Zhang Fengyi would naturally not be idle in Dongsheng City to waste food. In the following days, Zhang Fengyi would make full use of the maneuvering advantages of the Martial Guards and gallop across the territory of Ikinholo.

The Ikinhoro tribe and the Junggar tribe could not resist the enemy at all. Apart from a few small-scale battles, they just fled and fled to the Dalat tribe at the foot of the green mountain before they took a breath.

Some small tribes that had no time to escape were almost all captured by Zhang Fengyi, with men, women, young and old, reaching more than 20,000. The rest were like cattle, sheep, war horses, etc.

Zhang Fengyi wanted to expand his activity territory. In the end, even the Hang Jin tribe next to the Hanhai was threatened by Zhang Fengyi's military front and began to migrate to Yinshan in the northwest.

In just one month, all high-quality grasslands with an area of ​​more than four or five hundred miles were in the hands of Jingzhou. What's more important is that the Tiger Roaring Legion stationed in Yulin, Shenmu Fort and Dongsheng City, and the three armies formed a horn force. Attacking any point, they would inevitably be counterattacked by tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

The Mongols have been expelled and their defense has been stable. Now it is Xiong Wencan's turn to perform.

Under the order of Lin Chunhong, Xiong Wencan led a large number of officials to Dongsheng City and began to plan to establish a stable and strict ruling system in the Dongsheng area.

The first thing Xiong Wencan did was to organize a large amount of manpower, measure the land, and find out the grassland resources in the Dongsheng area.

After gaining a general understanding of the situation in the Dongsheng area, Xiong Wencan began to apply for the establishment of Dongsheng Prefecture in accordance with the habits of the Central Plains. Under Dongsheng Prefecture, it was divided into three counties, Haita County, Dongsheng County, and Xini County. The roughly regional distribution was exactly the territory occupied by the Junggar tribe, the Yijin Holo tribe and the Hangjin tribe.

After the geographical demarcation, Xiong Wencan began to establish government agencies at all levels and set up the arsenal of government agencies.

Immediately afterwards, Xiong Wencan carefully selected a few places with the most abundant water plants, such as around Dongsheng City, around Hongjiannao Lake, near the Wulanmulun River Valley, etc. Then he organized personnel to go to Shuozhou, Xi'an, and Qinshui to promote it, trying to sell the grassland management rights.

Immediately afterwards, Xiong Wencan completely dispersed the Mongolians captured by Zhang Fengyi, divided them into pastures according to population, each with 200 acres, and paid taxes equivalent to ten sheep each year.

At the same time, Xiong Wencan promoted Jingzhou's policies on governing the Dongsheng region to the grassland through various channels, claiming that all herders who returned to the Dongsheng region from Qingshan and around Yinshan would enjoy the same treatment as those left by the Mongols.

In Dongsheng area, about five or six acres of pasture can feed one sheep, and two hundred acres of pasture can feed for more than 40 sheep, which is enough for one person to live a life of food and clothing. If you work harder, you can get another income by shearing wool, and you can even consume high-end products such as cotton, sweaters.

Obviously, Xiong Wencan's policies have been rigorously calculated and argued.

Not to mention Xiong Wencan jumped up and down in the Dongsheng area, recruiting merchants and herdsmen everywhere, and Zhang Fengyi, after clearing the Mongols in the Dongsheng area, took a few days to rest and then led the Wuwei Army and Zheng Jiadong out of Dongsheng City and advanced to the Dalat tribe to the north.

Military is the extension of politics, and this sentence was perfectly confirmed when Zhang Fengyi fought against Qingshan.

Before Xiong Wencan entered the grassland, the nobles of Junggar tribe, Yijin Holo tribe and Hangjin tribe also hoped that Zhang Fengyi would use up his motivation to move forward and exit the grassland on his own. Then they followed the Jingzhou army and returned to the Dongsheng area to grazed. However, when Xiong Wencan's policy was passed on to the grassland, they were completely shocked, not only angry but angry.

Xiong Wencan sold pastures and built Dongsheng City in the Dongsheng area. They were not worried. At most, they could take them back after the army retreated. Even if they could not be taken back for a while, they could still be consumed with the Han people until the Han people could not afford it. However, Xiong Wencan's strategy of dividing pastures was tantamount to completely cutting off their hope of returning to the Dongsheng area.

The nobles of the three ministries could imagine that their herdsmen would most likely not be able to withstand the temptation and would sneak back to the Dongsheng area, and then be included in the ruling sequence by Xiong Wencan, and then be included in the combat sequence, pointing the spearhead of the sword and gun at them again.

If they lose the pasture, they can still rob and grab it. If they lose the herdsmen, what will they use to rob it?

Moreover, the nobles of the three tribes were clearly aware that even if they strengthened control and prevented herders from fleeing to the Dongsheng area, it would be useless. Because there were millions of Mongolians on the grassland, Xiong Wencan's policies would sooner or later spread throughout the grassland. They held herders not allowed to go, which does not mean that other tribes would not go. When other tribes filled the Dongsheng area, if they wanted to attack the Dongsheng area again, they would not only face the counterattack of the Jingzhou army, but also face the desperate counterattack of the new owner of the Dongsheng area.

To take a step back, even if the Mongols do not go, with the huge population base of the Han people, it would be a matter of order to fill the Dongsheng area.

Xiong Wencan has already forced the three parts into the corner and has no way out.

Or migrate to other places as soon as possible to find new pastures. After all, hundreds of thousands of people squeezed into the green mountains, and the narrow green mountains could no longer bear it, and starved cattle and sheep were everywhere.

Either muster up the courage to fight Zhang Fengyi with all his strength. After defeating Zhang Fengyi, he will have a decisive battle with the Tiger Roaring Legion and completely drive the Jingzhou army out of the Dongsheng area.

Fighting Zhang Fengyi with Zhang Fengyi? The three nobles felt a headache when they thought about it. Zhang Fengyi's mobility was not inferior to them at all. There was also a heavy cavalry army. I'm afraid they would fill everyone in and they were not Zhang Fengyi's opponent. What's more, behind Zhang Fengyi there was a Zheng Jiadong army, and the Tiger Roar Legion that had won every battle in more than 20,000.

What if we migrate? Where can we migrate? These days, where can we have grasslands that can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people? Moreover, during the migration, will the herders under their command flee back to the Dongsheng area in the chaos?

Neither the left nor the right, the despair enveloped the entire Qingshan.

On the side of Zhang Fengyi, he kept squeezing the Mongols to Qingshan and Yinshan areas; on the other side of Shengkun Mountain, he gradually advanced to Daqingshan with the heavy cavalry army as the left wing, the left wing as the right wing, and the two chariot and infantry as the backing, and gradually advanced to Daqingshan.

Lin Chunhong set a very clear tactical goal, just expel the Mongols from the Yellow River. The realization of the goal, including various means, is one of the means.

Given that the Linger was particularly close to Sanniangzi City, Shengkun Mountain ordered Ge Wenfei to lead the heavy cavalry army to suddenly speed up, penetrated hard in the northwest direction, and suddenly inserted into Hasuhai, defeating the unexpected Tumot Cavalry. Immediately afterwards, Ge Wenfei drove the Dongtumot tribe from Hasuhai to the east.

At the same time, the Zuoyi tribe traveled day and night, advancing to the banks of the Daheihe River, setting up camp here, completely blocking the way for the Tumot tribe to meet with the Jurchen Tatars to the east.

Sheng Kunshan led two infantry troops to squeeze northwards, and finally restricted the small tribe of Dongtumot to the vicinity of Sanniangzi City.

At this time, the leader of Tumote, Hang Gao, was in Sanniangzi City. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, he sent people to the central army tent of Shengkun Mountain to request surrender. After Shengkun Mountain promised to ensure the safety of his life and property, he led more than 80,000 Mongolians near Sanniangzi City to surrender. The army of Shengkun Mountain entered Sanniangzi City without bloodshed.

Following the Shengkun Mountain army entering Sanniangzi City was Huang Bo and Dai Zhe. After Huang Bo and Dai Zhe, more than 60,000 civilians transported food and grass to Sanniangzi City.

The swords and guns were shining, the strong people and horses were strong and tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the piles of food and grass were piled up like mountains. In the eyes of Hang Gao, he couldn't help but sigh: I'm afraid that the Jingzhou army began to plan this day two years ago, and therefore stored a large amount of food and grass and weapons. The Jingzhou army is so powerful and long-term, how can a loose tribe like the Mongols fight against?
