Da Ming started to ascend the throne

"I know, we grew up here, and we are very familiar with the whole of Horqin, their headquarters..."

The children told Yue Fei everything they knew.

During this period of time, Yue Fei led the Long Teng Army to sweep across the prairie, leaving almost no one behind, and all the men who were taller than the wheels were eliminated.

Women, children, cattle, sheep and horses were handed over to Li Laiheng, and he sent them to various places in the pass. Some worked on farms, and some did other miscellaneous jobs.

Now in the entire Mengyuan grassland, there is only one Horqin tribe left. Hauge was originally in Mengyuan, but after receiving an order from Dorgon, he immediately returned to Liaodong to protect Shengjing.

Soon a table of sumptuous meals was placed on Yue Fei's handsome table, including mutton, horse meat, and some vegetarian dishes, exuding an attractive aroma.

Seeing such a sumptuous meal, the children's saliva flowed out. It was the first time they had seen such a sumptuous meal when they grew up.

"Come and eat quickly, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, be careful not to choke."

"Thank you Governor."

The children immediately picked up the bowls and chopsticks and started gobbling.

But Yue Fei began to dispatch troops and generals, comparing what the children said with the information they received, Yue Fei found that they were almost the same.

Now Yue Fei has not only the Longteng Army, but also the 15 army led by Yan Yingyuan.

After Yan Yingyuan led an army of 15 to participate in the war, Yue Fei discovered that this army was mostly peasants and its combat effectiveness was not very strong.Recommended reading../../

So he discussed with Yan Yingyuan and drew [-] experienced veterans from his army to join the Longteng Army, with Yan Yingyuan still serving as the chief general.

The remaining tens of thousands of people were handed over to Li Laiheng, who was mainly responsible for transporting the cattle, sheep, horses, gold, silver and jewelry obtained on the grassland back to Daming.

When the strength of the army is insufficient, it can be said that the strength of the Longteng army has greatly increased.

It is absolutely possible to divide the troops into three groups to attack the Horqin tribe, and strive to solve the harassment of Ming by these nomads at once.

Chapter 237 Late Autumn of the Little Ice Age

It has been more than half a year since Yue Fei led his army out of customs to fight.

Just entering September, the weather has started to get colder and colder.

Late autumn in the Little Ice Age was already so cold that it made people feel a little hopeless.

It is not the coldest time yet, and in another month, it will definitely not be suitable for any human activities outside.

For example, if you urinate outside, when the cold wind blows, you will definitely freeze on the ground with you.

Although it was not yet the coldest time, except for some shivering guards, there were almost no other people outside the tents of the Horqin Department. The Tartars all huddled in the tents and burned charcoal to keep warm.

After Hauge left with the Xianglan Banner, according to reliable information, the Ming army wiped out many small tribes one after another.

But it has never appeared in the Horqin area. After all, the Horqin tribe is strong and strong, and Auba gradually relaxes his vigilance.

Some generals gathered in the Oba tent. There were several large pots of charcoal fire burning in the middle of the tent, and it was very warm inside.

The Tartars were drinking kumiss while discussing the Ming army's invasion of the grassland.

Military Adviser Aziz said:

"Khan, some time ago, the Ming army moved frequently, and many Mongolian and Yuan tribes were wiped out. Now they seem to have suddenly stopped moving."

Gao Jitai is the most powerful general under Auba's command, and he doesn't pay attention to the Ming army.

He was very disdainful when he heard the words of the military division:

"Hmph, that's because the Ming army didn't attack our Horqin troops. As long as they dare to step into Horqin, this general will destroy their entire army."

Amio:

"General, don't be careless. Since the Ming army can sweep all the tribes of the Mongolian Yuan all the way, they will definitely not be as weak as Hauge said."

""In the end, with the arrival of winter, the temperature is getting lower and lower, almost reaching minus [-] degrees. Their muskets can't be ignited, and they are not suitable for military operations. There must be a temporary truce, and it will not be until the beginning of next spring at the earliest. will start the war again. "

Daji Terrace map:

"Yes, I support this statement. It's so cold that you can't go out at all. It must be difficult for the Ming army to supply supplies. They are all wearing iron armor and can't keep out the cold. They will definitely not invade Horqin for the time being..."

None of the Horqin elite thought that the Ming army would attack Horqin in such a cold weather.Recommended reading ../../

After an agreement was reached, the Tatars all returned to their tents and went to have fun with the Han woman they had snatched.

Did the Ming army really wear iron armor as the Tartars said?

Of course not, as a time traveler, how could Zhu Youjian not know that the end of the Ming Dynasty was in the Little Ice Age.

Before departure, Zhu Youjian had already prepared the cotton-padded jacket, cotton trousers and big quilt for the Ming army.

Although the Ming army still wore iron armor, they all wore very warm cotton-padded clothes, trousers, cotton hats and gloves under the iron armor, and even the war horses wore small cotton armor.

It's just entering late autumn now, and it hasn't entered the harshest winter, let alone the coldest winter.

From the perspective of natural science, the ice age is a climate phenomenon.

During the period when it occurs, the temperature will drop significantly and cause various disasters.

The last years of the Ming Dynasty coincided with the peak of the famous fourth Little Ice Age in world history.

Due to the bad weather it brought, countries around the world, including the Ming Dynasty, experienced violent turbulence during this period of time, which directly changed the history of the world.

There have been four small ice ages in the history of our country. The first time occurred at the end of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, which directly led to the Zhou Dynasty and the Shang Dynasty.

The second time happened at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which led to the chaos of the Three Kingdoms.

The third time happened at the end of the Tang Dynasty, which led to the troubled times of the Five Dynasties.

The fourth time occurred in the late Ming Dynasty.

The Little Ice Age in the last years of the Ming Dynasty can be regarded as one of the most severe natural disasters in the history of our country.

According to the records of Beiyoulu written by Tan Qian, a famous historian in the early Qing Dynasty.

From the 13th year of Shunzhi to the 110th year of Shunzhi, the Beijing North Canal was frozen for [-] days every year.

And this period was the end of the Little Ice Age, which peaked in the Chongzhen period in the late Ming Dynasty.

According to modern science and technology, during Chongzhen's reign, even the southern Guangdong region had a blizzard of more than a foot thick.

All parts of the north were frozen for thousands of miles, all rivers and rivers were frozen, and water transport was almost abolished.

Livestock, crops, and people were all frozen to death and suffered numerous frostbite injuries, and the temperature reached an astonishing minus 40 degrees Celsius.
