Chapter 639: Spoils of War
The raucous battle lasted for half a day, and the dense dragon army occupied the hills, waving their sabers and shouting in the enemy's cattle and sheep's baggage.
Under the excitement, their expressions looked tired, and the blood dripping from their bodies was both the enemy's and their own, and the war horses under their crotches were even more panting and snorting.
Since the conquest of Mongolia, it has been played by the Mongolian Tatars, holding back the whims, and in today's battle, all of them have been recovered!
Under the sunset, Zhu Cihong looked at the bloody battlefield around him, and said with a smile: "This battle proves that with the same strength, without battle armor, the Mongols' horse combat ability is not as good as my Longwu army!" ”
The generals laughed one after another, and the battle annihilated more than 10,000 enemies, except for the two rabbits of Badali and Lai Mubu, who ran away with the remnants, the rest of the Mongolian tribes almost did not run away, and were either killed or knelt down.
In the face of the unarmored Longwu army, the difficulty of the Mongol soldiers to escape was greatly increased.
Xu Sheng reported: "Your Majesty, except for Li Shaoyou, who led 5,000 men and horses from his headquarters to pursue Badali, the rest of the troops have already returned to their respective camps. ”
Zhu Cihong nodded and said: "Set up camp on the spot to rest, clean up the battlefield, hurry up and treat the wounded soldiers, those captured cattle and sheep or something, you are welcome, you should cook soup and make up for the soldiers!" ”
That night, as night fell, Zhu Cihong's imperial camp iron case was placed on a battlefield clean-up statistical document.
A total of 13,000 Mongol Tatars were killed in this battle, most of whom were young and strong herdsmen who had been put together temporarily, and they lacked experience in facing the big war, and they could not even withstand a charge from the Longwu army, and they had already been frightened.
In addition to cattle and sheep tents, grain and grass baggage, etc., there are also a large number of bacon, bacon, mushrooms, wild vegetables, fresh fish, salted fish, etc., which are enough for the army to eat for another month or two.
The most important thing is those horses, which can become excellent war horses with a little training, which greatly complements the strength of the Dragon Martial Army.
However, seeing the casualties of the Ming army, Zhu Cihong frowned slightly, the casualties of the Longwu army were also not small, more than 530 cavalry were killed, and more than 300 were seriously wounded.
Most of them were wounded by horses during the collision with the enemy, knights were thrown off their horses, causing inevitable losses, and they were also shot with bows and arrows.
Sheltering the remains of soldiers and treating seriously injured soldiers, these naturally do not need to be arranged by Zhu Cihong, and a series of detailed rules and regulations have already been formed in the Ming army, all of which are from the heavy pension.
Just looking at the series of numbers on the paper, Zhu Cihong's heart still has some feelings, these soldiers are all heroes of the Ming Dynasty!
At this moment, Zhu Cihong made up his mind to improve the status of these fallen soldiers again, so that all the people of the Ming Dynasty and even future generations would remember them! Those soldiers who sacrificed their lives for the Ming Dynasty, including all the heroes who contributed to the Ming Dynasty!
That night, bonfires were lit everywhere in the barracks, and a group of Mongolian women who could sing and dance danced together.
The old and weak and the children were skinning and chopping the dead and wounded Mongolian war horses, as well as sturdy cattle and sheep, which were continuously provided to the Ming army battalions celebrating the victory.
There were bursts of laughter and laughter in the camp, and the camps of the Ming army were open to play, venting their irritability these days.
An old Tartar with a money rat braid was dragged to Zhu Cihong's imperial tent.
The old Tartar is over forty years old, and his appearance is still a little handsome, he is Zasak of the Horqin Department, and Wu Keshan, the brother of Concubine Zhuang Bumu Butai.
Wu Keshan rolled in front of Zhu Cihong, hugged Zhu Cihong's thigh, and kissed the dragon boots fiercely.
He pleaded in broken Chinese: "Great Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, our Horqin Department is willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty forever, be your well-behaved slave, and never dare to lose each other, and please be kind to the Emperor and let us humble slaves go!" ”
Zhu Cihong kicked him aside, shook the hem of his robe with great disgust, and ordered someone to wipe the dragon boots, and then said, "You are Wu Keshan?" Bumu Butai's brother? ”
Although I don't know why the emperor of the Ming Dynasty asked like this, I think it was his sister who was too beautiful and famous, which caused the young emperor's "sexual interest".
He immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes!" The slave is Bumu Butai's elder brother, if His Majesty the Emperor likes it, the slave can write a letter and let Yu'er defect to Daming! ”
Zhu Cihong sighed, and secretly said that this dog thing is really affinity, Bumu Butai's age is only two years younger than the Emperor Taishang and the Empress Dowager, what does Lao Tzu want her to do? Is the taste heavy?
Seeing that the Ming Emperor didn't like it, he knew that his taste was different from that of Dolgon and other Qing clans, so he said: "Yu'er has a daughter, called Yatu Gege, she is the same age as you, she looks like a country and a city, and she has not married ......."
What Wu Keshan said was exactly the one who Huang Taiji wanted to make peace with Daming and sent out.
When I heard that I was going to make peace with the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, that Yatu Gege felt that his net worth had skyrocketed, refused to marry, and waited for the price to sell, which gave his godfather Dolgon a headache for a long time.
"If the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is still not satisfied, the slave still has a daughter, named Meng Guqing, but the little girl is only ten years old, if the Emperor does not dislike it......"
Wu Keshan lowered his posture, kowtowed desperately like a winter melon, expressed his loyalty with a handful of snot and tears, and was a slave and a married girl, the scene was quite touching, it can be said that he smelled sad, and those who saw it shed tears.
Good guys, the future queen of the little emperor of Shunzhi has been rectified!
Hearing this, Zhu Cihong held his forehead with his hand, beckoned to him, and said, "Wu Keshan, come here!" ”
Wu Keshan moved his fat body, and crawled at Zhu Cihong's feet again, he was a little excited in his heart, it seems that there is a drama in this matter, at least he can be an uncle in Daming......
Zhu Cihong bent down slightly, and said lightly: "You old pervert, I've put up with you for a long time!" ”
Before the words fell, Zhu Cihong took out the dagger on his waist and stabbed it into the back of Wu Keshan's neck.
In an instant, the blood was like a spring, and Wu Keshan's fat body fell softly.
Zhu Cihong kicked him away and said coldly: "Those captured leaders, as long as they are officials, they will all be killed!" ”
"The last will obey!" Xu Sheng took a battalion of the Imperial Forest Army to solve it immediately.
The captured units, almost not many young and strong, either died in battle or left their wives and children to flee for their lives, and some of them followed Badali to continue running north.
This will be the land of the Ming Dynasty in the future, what are these Tatar Qing Zasak princes doing?
The bones of the Horqin Department are soft, and they are the hardcore of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how can Zhu Cihong be polite to a guy like Wu Keshan? Isn't it great to have a few beautiful relatives? Look at Tatar Qing to get used to him!
Moreover, at the time of the conquest of Mongolia, the Ming Dynasty had already conveyed a message, bluntly saying that the Mongolian tribes would either kneel down early and offer cattle and sheep to admit their mistakes, or suffer a catastrophe.
What is it called to send a son and a daughter after being captured? Won't I take it myself?
After a while, Lu Jiude, the eunuch in charge of logistics, approached quickly and reported to Zhu Cihong in a low voice: "Your Majesty, a total of more than 3,500 young ladies have been selected from the captives, and several of them are the beautiful daughters of the Mongolian Zasak who have been looked at individually, and they will be kept for you ......."
Zhu Cihong glanced at the old eunuch with some surprise, and said lightly: "I can't eat these wild vegetables, so leave them to the soldiers,"
"Yes!"
Lu Jiude retired.
