At the end of March of the tenth year of Wanli, the emperor signed an edict issued by Qi Jiguang, the governor of the Great Governor of the Northern Territory of Guihua City, in Beijing, at Tsinghua Park.

The edict only has six words.

Go along the grassland!

Qi Jiguang, who embarked on the journey, was not alone. There were four Ming troops attacking with him. Dong Yiyuan, who commanded the Long Live Army, had the strength but not the many soldiers and horses under his command. However, he personally trained the Imperial Guard and Beiyang Banner Army for the emperor, used the most advanced weapons and equipment, and made great achievements along the way.

The second route was the Congsun, the founder of the Jin Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty. He joined the Dragon and Tiger General Kutuke Tuchechen Hongtaiji. He selected eight thousand armored cavalry from Qinghai to respond to the emperor. In fact, it was the order of the Sanniangzi, who followed Qi Jiguang's western expedition and was named the Mongolian army of the Ming Dynasty.

The three routes were to join Dong Chang'ang, the general of the cavalry of the Duoyan tribe. His troops were named by the emperor by the Emperor's name of the Mongolian Light Army of the Ming Dynasty. They were surrounded by the surrendered troops of the Korqin Grassland tribes along the way, and they stationed along the way with cattle, sheep, horses and horses. The troops were nearly 30,000. The front drive could explore the way for scouts, the two wings could be covered by light cavalry, and the rear formation could also provide baggage, which was vast and boundless.

The last route was Liang Menglong, the Minister of War and the Governor of the North Railway of the Seychelles. He led the six guards of the border army out of the border and set up a governor's railway yamen in Guihua City. At the same time, he explored the landforms on the east and west sides and built railway stations.

The four armies marched westward, like walking floods, under the waves, the tribes were ignorant.

After three hundred years, the grand scene of large-scale human migration has once again appeared on the grassland.

But this time is so different from the past.

First of all, Qi Jiguang's marching speed was severely limited. They could not move too fast. At least as the main force of the Zhejiang Army, Long Live Army, could not. They are changing their dietary structure. There are many terrible things happening in the process, such as lactose intolerance and lack of vegetables.

Within the range of Bansheng, all food acquisition is not a problem, but once they leave the Yinshan Mountains and enter the north side of Tianshan Mountains, eating becomes a big problem.

The Mongols invented milk powder by general Huiyuan as early as the time of Genghis Khan. Huiyuan may not be the first to invent milk powder, but he reported the dry milk powder on the stove to Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan immediately promoted the command system of his fingers to the entire grassland, and similarly, meat floss was also used.

Now these two things have become specialties in the Beiyang Industrial Zone, in addition to dry vegetables and canned pots produced in factories.

The latter alone is no longer enough to supply the supplies needed by the army, while the former must change the dietary habits of the Ming army soldiers. In fact, this is much more difficult for the Zhejiang army and the Long Live Army soldiers than planning and carrying out a battle.

People don’t know what lactose intolerance is, but Qi Jiguang used the soldiers’ bodies to prove that the same milk as the Mongols drank, and Zhejiang soldiers who never drank milk had diarrhea after drinking it, which greatly affected their combat effectiveness.

There are also some people with a strong head who do not report even if they have diarrhea or ask for leave. They persist in pinching their noses and drinking hard, and then pulling them after drinking. Finally, one day they suddenly find that they don’t get tired after drinking, and they feel uncomfortable all over.

Because of the baggage, they had to march slowly and explore the location of the water sources, Gobi and deserts for a long time to plan an offensive that was as powerful as thunder.

The army was spread out, and the southernmost troops were aimed directly at Hami Guards, and they wanted to attack the Yarkand Khanate with General Zhang Chen, who had blocked Altan; the northernmost troops were established in the Altai Mountains, and the imperial court was recruiting Jinfu who was willing to come to Jinshan Guard to collect gold.

Altai means gold mountain in Mongolian. As early as the Han Dynasty, some people have been collecting gold in the mountains, but the scale has not been large enough to not be mined on a large scale until the Mongolian Empire. But this time it was different. The Beiyang Banner Army personally went to the mountains to explore the terrain and draw maps. When it was passed on to naturalization, it was quickly sent to the Forbidden City.

Although the scale of mine has not yet been explored, it was named Jinshanwei by the emperor. It is obvious that in the eyes of the emperor, it is the second Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty.

Before I knew it, the gold of the Jin Kingdom founded by Altan was already very different from the original gold.

The Jin Kingdom, which confronted the Southern Song Dynasty, became a Jin Kingdom that produced hardware by the Ming Dynasty. Who could imagine that?

As for the central army in the Western Expedition, it was led by Qi Jiguang to pursue the Northern Yuan Khanate all the way to the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Now his enemy is the most powerful Heshuo tribe in Weilat Mongolia.

Qi Jiguang's troops are the first in the world to have a direct air force. Now the Zhejiang Army has two flying fish commanders, with forty flying fish air boats under its jurisdiction, 76 airships who have participated in the air strikes, 31 instructors who have participated in the air strikes, hundreds of students and more than 600 baggage soldiers, searching for soldiers and air scouts.

His opponent, Mongol Buyanche Chen Khan, was the first person in the world to make air defense weapons. During the Khalkha Mongolia tent, he used weapons similar to bed crossbows to shoot flying fish, causing the crash of three flying fish airboats.

In fact, in that battle called the Battle of Khalkha, there was only one flying fish shot by Buyanchechen Khan, and it was not shot down by a giant crossbow arrow. It was only because Qi Jiguang discovered that the tribes in the north of the Seitou area seemed to have superstitious fears about flying fish taking off, which led to a combat plan to use large-scale flying fish air strikes to start the war.

In the airships that were too dense in the air, one of them was shot by a crossbow arrow, causing imbalance, and then hit the remaining two airships. The fire gear of the crew cabin ignited the surface of the airship, causing three airships to fall.

It was also the fall of these three airships that directly brought victory.

They landed in the enemy's formation with a large number of projectile weapons used for explosions, which directly triggered a large-scale retreat. Just as Dong Chang'an's light cavalry surrounded him from the flanks, the heavy cavalry of the Ming Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty defeated all the large-scale troops they gathered in one charge.

Even the flying fish behind won before they started bombing.

People learn about war in war. Feiyu has experienced several battles in Qi Jiguang's hands, shining with great brilliance, almost invincible, and thus undergoes earth-shaking changes.

With the successive battle reports back to Beijing, Qi Jiguang's suggestions on the transformation of Feiyu warships, immature weapons and immature tactics became more and more mature in this process.

Prestige comes most realistically in war. No one who gains prestige in war is a futile reputation.

Because people know that if you follow him, you will succeed and live, and if you follow others, you will fail and die.

At the turn of spring and summer in the eleventh year of Wanli, Qi Jiguang, on the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains, was ordered by the emperor to attack the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

However, the situation of the battle this time was different from the past. The enemy's will failed to persist until the moment when the flying fish was approaching, perhaps it had absorbed too many deserters from the Khalkha tribes, or perhaps it was because the superstition of the heavenly punishment was spread too fiercely.

The battle did not begin at all. The tribes just saw the flying fish flying in the air and fled in all directions. Then the tribe leader was wiped out and was challenged and shot by ambitious people. Seeing that the situation was not good, the Khan ran west again. The entire tribe was divided into pieces, some followed the Khan with fear, some fled northward and westward into the Gobi and mountains.
