Roman Empire of Total War

If a person lives in a pain of inability to change, he will fall in love with this pain and treat it as a kind of happiness in order to make himself better.

——Sigmund Freud (Austrian Jewish psychologist, psychiatrist, founder of the psychoanalysis school)

The change of the Tianlong empire has to be mentioned from half a month ago. The invasion of the grassland divisions against the Tianlong empire is, in the final analysis, only a war of aggression waged by the Turkic tribes in the grassland divisions; however, the empire with scattered forces has not been defeated directly. The strength of the Turkic tribe army.

The passive defense of the garrison troops at the northern border of the empire gave the predatory Turkic tribe more opportunities to burn and plunder in the towns near the frontier; beautiful women, gold and silver, iron, and property, all of which became Turkic tribes Loot.

Every day, countless border towns were looted by the Turkic cavalry, and a large amount of wealth and population belonging to the empire were plundered by the Turks; the defenders of the northern frontier of the empire attacked four times in a row, almost all of them. The annihilated defeat ended.

The Turkic cavalry who came and went, on the surface, sent two or three thousand cavalry to plunder the imperial border towns. In fact, not far away there were at least 10,000 or so Turkic cavalry standing in line; the imperial defenders , Soon after going out of the city gate, he will be hit hard.

Faced with such a dilemma, the defending soldiers who were insufficient in strength finally gave up all plans to take the initiative to attack; after losing the threat of the imperial army, the Turkic cavalry looted the border towns of the empire even more crazily, and the scope of the looting even extended to the empire North!

The six provinces in the northern part of the empire, but the empire has developed through the border trade for hundreds of years. The Turks who first set foot in the northern part of the empire for the first time were only in a small town in the province of Alsace. Millions of gold and silver treasures were plundered!

Dazzling gold and silver and gorgeous costumes, as well as countless young and beautiful young noble ladies, completely inspired the wildness and wolfness of the Turkic people's blood; it was difficult to control the Turkic Khan of the entire army, so he had to transfer the attacking objects of the Turkic army. To the provinces in the northern empire.

In this way, in just a few days, the Turkic cavalry looted nearly 200 million gold and silver coins; this is just pure gold coins and silver coins, and other valuable properties can’t be counted by numbers, at least Turk People can't make statistics.

The Turkic tribes with a population of less than a million have a total output value of less than 10 million gold coins a year. The plundered gold and silver coins in front of them are already equivalent to their total output value for 20 years!

Stimulated by wealth, the cavalry of the Turkic tribes turned into the most brutal slaughterers, and pointed the scimitar in their hands to the people in the provinces of the northern dragon empire; the wealth belonging to the dragon empire was so continuously endured by the Turks People plunder the past.

When a cart full of gold and silver jewels was sent back to the Turkic tribe in the rear by the Turkic tribe’s escorts, the Turkic people’s success made other grassland tribes jealous; especially the Jurchen and Khitan, who were closest to the Turkic tribe, Their hearts are full of remorse!

You should know that before the Turkic tribe’s Geely Khan led the army to invade the Tianlong Empire, he once invited Nuerhachi Khan of the Jurchen tribe and Wanyan Agu of the Khitan tribe to fight Khan together; but the latter two were afraid of the strength of the Tianlong Empire and chose to Refusing to send troops.

The Jurchen tribe and the Khitan tribe whose population size and overall strength are not much stronger than the Turkic tribe. They watched as the Turkic tribe brought back more and more wealth and slaves from the Tianlong Empire, but they missed this opportunity in vain. The huge gap quickly caused chaos.

The dissatisfied Jurchen tribe warriors and Khitan tribe warriors pointed their finger at the Khan who refused to send troops, and a series of conflicts between the vassal warriors and the Khan direct warriors broke out, making the two tribes extremely uncomfortable. Stabilize.

Whether it is the successful Turkic tribe of the South invasion, or the Jurchen tribe and the Khitan tribe who missed the time of the South invasion, their political system is a loose tribal federation; the so-called Khan is just the strongest person recognized by most tribal leaders. That's it.

The Nurhachi Khan of the Jurchen tribe has the strongest 60,000 flag cavalry of the Jurchen tribe, but the more than one hundred thousand cavalry of other Jurchen tribes will not obey his orders; Nurhachi must command the ten through the leaders who control the real power Yu Wan cavalry.

This tribal alliance system is a way for the tribes on the grassland to maintain their independence and a means of restricting Khan’s power; when Nurhaci and Wanyan Aguida find that they cannot control the overall situation, they must use compromises in exchange for the leaders of the tribes. stand by.

On the fourth day after the Turkic cavalry sent back a large amount of belongings, the 160,000 cavalry of the Jurchen tribe and the 200,000 cavalry of the Khitan tribe embarked on a journey to invade the Tianlong Empire. Taking advantage of the enthusiasm of the tribal warriors to unite, Nurhachi also returned A new measure has been taken.

The original Jurchen tribe, only 60,000 elite cavalry directly affiliated with Nurhaci, were grouped into eight banner cavalry by Nurhaci; the cavalry of other tribes all wore armor according to the customs of their tribes, and they looked like all kinds of people.

Nurhaci, who has always wanted to change the existing pattern of the Jurchen tribe, under the banner of giving full play to the strength of various tribes and looting loot, put the armies of more than ten other tribes into the Eight Banners Cavalry according to the color of the armor to carry out unified deployment operations.

Of course, the leaders of other tribes are not fools. They cannot see that Nurhachi wants to take the opportunity to annex them; in order to dispel the concerns of the leaders, Nurhachi, who has a long-term vision, appoints the five strongest leaders as the flag of the Eight Banners. the Lord.

In addition to the five flag masters, the warriors of other tribes used 300 people as a cattle record to form the basic establishment of the Eight Banners Cavalry; and the leader of each cattle record was the former small leader of these soldiers. Nurhachi used this method. Quickly stabilized the hearts and minds of the people.

After the reorganization of the Eight Banners Cavalry, the generals of Nurhachi are still the main banner. The three flags directly under the command of Nurhaci are Zhenghuang Banner, Huanghuang Banner, and Zhenglan Banner. Because they are commanded by Khan, they are again commanded. Call it Shangsanqi.

The remaining five flags such as Zhenghongqi, Zhanhongqi, Zhanbaiqi, Zhengbaiqi, and Zanlanqi are led by leaders of other tribes, so these five flags are also called Xiawuqi. It is distinguished from the upper three flags of Nurhachi.

The 168 thousand flag cavalry of the Jurchen tribe and the 200,000 cavalry of the Qidan tribe came to the northern frontier of the empire, and the Gili Khan of the Turkic tribe immediately led the 200,000 Turkic cavalry with them; the total strength was as high as 56. The army of 10,000 grasslands launched a full-scale attack on the defenders of the imperial northern frontier.

At this time, of the 13 standing legions that defended the northern frontier of the empire, six legions were already disabled by the cavalry of the Turkic tribe, and the remaining seven legions were not in full state; even if they were sent by the Imperial Ministry The reserve force has a total strength of less than 200,000!

With 200,000 warriors and soldiers of uneven strength, blocking the southern invasion of 560,000 prairie cavalry, such a war has been doomed from the beginning; even if the defending soldiers have strongholds and cities to rely on, it is difficult Block the **** of the prairie cavalry.

In fact, Gili Khan, Nurhachi Khan, and Wanyan Agu played Khan far better than ordinary people think; they did not blindly attack solid fortresses and cities, but bypassed these places and led the army commanders to drive straight into the northern empire. province!
