Two days later, 15,000 Mongol-Han troops rushed into the hinterland of Horqin.

In the face of the elite expedition and the emptiness of Horqin, the Mongol-Han coalition army encountered almost no effective resistance, and everywhere the coalition army went, all the tribes of all sizes were subdued.

Galloping all the way, the coalition forces soon reached the center of Korqin Mongol rule, Iktang Grikpo.

Iktang Glikpo is the capital of Horqin Mongolia, saying that it is the capital is actually the scale of Daming County, and even the city wall does not even reach the scale of the county seat, which is only one zhang, and is more than one zhang shorter than the white city of Hudun Rabbit.

Because most of the warriors of Horqin were taken away by Buhe, and the rest were only old and weak women and children, although there were cities to defend, but after the baptism of grenades by the accompanying Jinyi guards, the warriors of Hudun Rabbit quickly climbed the city wall.

After a period of chickens and dogs, and a desperate fight, the Ming-Mongolian coalition army occupied Iktang Grekpo.

According to the customs of the Mongols, and the city had just been besieged by the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces, in order to divert the accumulated contradictions within the clan, Lin Dan Khan had to order the slaughter of the city.

But Yuan Chonghuan stopped him.

Yuan Chonghuan's reasons are also very sufficient, Da Ming just wants to teach the Mongols a lesson, if the slaughter of the city provokes hatred, it will be more than worth the loss.

People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.

Facing the strong Ming army, and thinking about the situation of Hudun Rabbit rebelling against his relatives in the Mongolian tribes, Lin Dan Khan had to follow Yuan Chonghuan's advice.

But people can not be killed, and captives are still needed.

Attacked by the Manchu and Mongolian coalition forces for many days, Hudun Rabbit suffered heavy losses, and these captives were ready-made labor and new forces, especially female captives, who were needed by Hudun Rabbit to strengthen the tribe.

Because they were afraid that Buhe and others would return with their troops in advance, on the second day, the Han and Mongolian armies took prisoners, drove cattle, sheep and horses, and made a mighty return journey.

Along the way, Lin Dan Khan's mouth never closed.

With these cattle and sheep and the labor of men and women, he believes that the tiger and rabbit will soon be able to regain their vitality.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in Liaodong, tens of thousands of Han people also marched through the mountains and forests, crossed the rivers, and dragged their families and large bags to the coast.

Among these people are the people who came from Dongjiang Town before, and there are also Han people from Kuandian, Yizhou and other places.

Although it was cold and windy, everyone's face was filled with longing for a new life.

"Dad, so many people have gone to the island, is there enough food on our island?"

At this time, Kong Youde rode on a jujube red steed and bowed down to ask Mao Wenlong.

This horse was captured by him when he killed a Niu Lu Zhangjing during the attack on Kuandian.

"Don't worry about this, Your Majesty has a decree, the Han people who retreated with the Ming army this time will all be taken to the customs for resettlement, and they will not eat the food of our Dongjiang Town."

Mao Wenlong looked at Kong Youde's somewhat childish appearance, so he beat him with a horsewhip.

"Dad, it's not my son, I'm stingy, I'm really hungry and scared, I really don't want to live a day of only drinking two meals of gruel, we are soldiers, we can't eat, why are we fighting with Tartar?"

Kong Youde lowered his head with a smile, dodged Mao Wenlong's horsewhip, and then took out a black wheat bran cake from his arms, and laughed while eating.

The surrounding Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong, Huang Long and Chen Jisheng suddenly burst into laughter.

"Dad, you said that Amin's dog thief rushed to Kuandian to see that the city was gone, would he vomit three mouthfuls of blood in anger?"

Huang Long quipped with a smile.

"Not to mention the three mouths, I guess I can spit it out when I see the scene, because not only is the city gone, but also the Dingkou."

Huang Long said with a smile, and the people around him laughed again.

"Dashuai, Your Majesty's move is really wise, destroying its city, moving its Dingkou, not only raising the soup to stop boiling, but also drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle, if the Han people in Liaodong return to Guannei, what kind of climate can the hundreds of thousands of people in the Tartars become."

is different from the generals under Mao Wenlong, Chen Jisheng obviously sees further.

"Your Majesty is indeed the Son of Heaven descending to earth, a generation of heroes, our Dongjiang has been saved! Liaodong is saved! Da Ming is saved! ”

After speaking, Mao Wenlong bowed in the direction of the capital, and when the others saw this, they all stopped their horses and bowed solemnly.

At this time, in a quiet room in the back office of the Ningyuan General Military Mansion, Zhu Youzhen, who was shocked by everyone, was grinning at Wang Chengen and picking up his pants.

"Your Majesty, you have suffered."

Looking at the large area of redness, swelling and blood stains on Zhu Youzhen's inner thigh, Wang Chengen's tears fell.

"Isn't crying a yarn just a bruise? Hurry up and help me up, I want to take a bath. ”

With Wang Chengen's support, Zhu Youzhen stepped into the steaming bathtub, and while feeling pain, he suddenly felt that the pores all over his body were opened.

"Roar, roar, roar, it's so comfortable to take a hot bath in winter."

Zhu Youzhen snorted comfortably, and when he saw that Wang Chengen was still serving here, his face suddenly changed.

"Let's all go out, I can wash it myself."

Even though he has been in the Ming Dynasty for many days, Zhu Youzhen is still very unaccustomed to letting another man serve and take a bath.

The battle was a complete victory, and in the next few days, Zhu Youzhen had a feast with the soldiers of Liaodong, and made up for a Spring Festival for the soldiers who went out to fight, and then he was ready to return to Beijing.

Because this battle was one of the few great victories of the Ming Dynasty over the Jurchens since Salhu, Zhu Youzhen's trip back to Beijing was not as simple as when he came.

In order to boost the morale of the Ming army and civilians, Zhu Youzhen asked Yuan Keli to contact the Ministry of Rites to prepare a grand triumphal ceremony in the capital.

And who can participate in this triumphal ceremony with the emperor has become the most concerned issue for the soldiers of Liaodong.

After repeated consultations and various blends, Zhu Youzhen finally decided, Liaodong Mangui, Cao Wenzhao, Wu Sangui, Dongjiang Mao Wenlong, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, and Jixuan Yang Guozhu.

The rest of the sergeants who participated in the triumphal ceremony were selected by their respective generals, but only if they participated in the battle.

After determining the many affairs to return to Beijing, the return date is not far away, but before leaving, Zhu Youzhen has one more thing to do.

"Have you done everything I have commanded?"

Zhu Youzhen sat in the signing room of the General Military Mansion and asked Yuan Keli, who was standing aside.

"Back to Your Majesty, everything is all right, please take a look."

After Yuan Keli finished speaking, he held up a wooden box.

Wang Chengen stepped forward to take the wooden box, opened it, and respectfully presented it in front of Zhu Youzhen's case.

"Well, yes, that's what I want."

Zhu Youzhen picked up an iron card, rubbed it with his hand, and then picked up the rest of the cards.

"Yes, very good, but these gold and silver pieces don't seem to be able to be sent out this time."

Wang Chengen was also curious, so he peeked at it and saw four small shield-shaped cards made of gold, silver, copper, and iron in the box.

There is also a line of small letters on it, which is the Order of Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Commemorative Medal.

Wang Chengen looked curious, and was about to take a closer look, but saw Zhu Youzhen close the box.

"Yes, this iron medal, every soldier who participated in this battle will have one, and the bronze medal will draw up a list for the commanders of each department to report to me."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhen tapped his fingers on the table and pondered for a moment.

"The number of bronze medals, to be controlled within ten people, must be outstanding contributions in this battle, my bronze medals, is not so good, as for the silver and gold medals, I will not issue them this time, because no one is qualified yet."

After speaking, Zhu Youzhen glanced up at Yuan Keli and said slightly.

"Warning you, this medal represents the honor of the Ming soldiers, all of them are exchanged for the lives of the soldiers, you must be cautious, do not favoritism, the list is finally for me to review one by one, if you find that you are involved in the private goods, then go to the east factory and wait for death."

After speaking, Zhu Youzhen slapped the table, which frightened Yuan Keli, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Don't dare, don't dare, the minister will definitely act impartially." ”

"Well, it's good to know, in addition, the list does not have to be limited to generals or ordinary sergeants, it must be made outstanding contributions, such as the general manager and the small flag, and the dead can also be, but it must be guaranteed that there is a good reputation among the soldiers, which must be representative and convince the public."

"Also, the Ministry of War will hold a ceremony, I will personally award the honors of officers above the thousand generals, and the awards of the rest of the departments must also be held with reference to this, it must be solemn and solemn, and the steps of the ceremony have been prepared, and you can handle it accordingly."

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, he ordered Wang Chengen to hand a booklet to Yuan Keli, which he sorted out with reference to the award ceremony of later generations.

"Go back and study carefully, if you don't understand, come to me in time, be sure to make this award ceremony solemn and grand, my purpose is one, to reshape the sense of honor of our Ming soldiers through this award ceremony."

Yuan Keli took the booklet, got up and retired after bowing, and repeatedly recited Zhu Youzhen's explanation just now, for fear of missing half a sentence.
