Jia Ke indulged the Manchu Eight Banners in this way, mainly to make them have a hatred with the Tatars, but also because to let them release the bitterness of more than a year, more than tens of thousands of young men have not seen a woman for a year, no one can stand it, if they are not given the opportunity to indulge, the team will not be easy to bring in the future.

This feast lasted until noon. Jia Ke held a military meeting in the big tent of the leader of the Erut department, and the eight banners were all unified with thousands of households in Kaiping Town, and they all stood in the big tent with satisfaction, and everyone talked and laughed, comparing their own achievements with each other. The faint estrangement between the two sides in the past has disappeared after this operation, and the atmosphere between them is very harmonious.

Jia Ke walked in from outside the tent, and the generals in the tent immediately fell silent, and Jia Ke sat straight to the big seat in the center. The Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Thousand Households of Kaiping Town stood on both sides.

Jia Ke sat down and looked down, and then said with a serious face: "Now that you have finished relaxing, it's time to get down to business." Liu Yu, tell me about our harvest this time. Liu Yu did not participate in their activities, but was responsible for the inventory of the seized materials this time.

When Liu Yu heard Jia Ke's order, he immediately stood up and said to Jia Ke and everyone in the tent: "This time, we have seized more than one million taels of gold and silver, mainly from the leaders of various tribes and their cronies. Looking at the appearance of casting, it should have been plundered from the Central Plains over the years. There are also some gold and silver jewelry, jewelry, agate and other things. ”

Jia Ke interrupted him and said, "I'm a man who counts, and half of this money will be distributed to all the soldiers who participated in the battle." This time, the respective seizures are no longer accepted, which can be regarded as a compliment to everyone. ”

Hearing Jia Ke's words, there was thunderous cheer in the big tent. According to the price, each soldier can be divided into at least a dozen taels of silver. Coupled with what they secretly hid, for ordinary soldiers, this time the harvest was more than their annual income. And not to mention these Eight Banner generals and Qianhu, their own soldiers have already collected a large amount of property for them.

Liu Yu waited for Jia Ke to finish speaking, and then continued: "I also seized more than 20,000 horses and more than 100,000 other livestock at one time. More than 30,000 people were also taken prisoner. That's about it. ”

Jia Ke said dissatisfiedly: "What is the population composition of these more than 30,000 people? Tell us about it again. ”

When Liu Yu heard Jia Ke ask, he realized that he had been negligent, so he quickly stood up again and said to everyone: "Among them, there are more than 15,000 young and middle-aged women, seven or eight thousand children, and the rest are old and weak. "As for why there are no young men, for they have all been killed.

Jia Ke said to the following: "Everyone heard it. What should be done with these people? Let's talk about it. ”

At this time, the red flag was inlaid and all the people stood up and said: "Master, according to the rules of our grassland, these old and weak are all executed. Just take the woman and the child away. ”

When Jia Ke heard what he said, he felt a little unbearable, so he continued to ask, "What else?" Let's talk about it. ”

Mo Rigen, the commander of the blue flag, immediately stood up and said: "I don't agree with Menggen's words, these women will be distributed to our people in the future, and if they kill their relatives, I am afraid that there will be unstable factors in the future." It is better to identify the woman's relatives from them and dispose of the rest. ”

Jia Ke felt that this method was very good, so he no longer asked for the opinions of others, and directly ordered: "Ji Rigla, this is your original tribe, this matter will be left to you, and all the relatives of our Manchurian Eight Banner soldiers and the relatives of the women will be singled out." Everything else was disposed of. ”

Ji Zhigela did not hesitate at all, and said loudly: "Master, you can rest assured about this matter, it is right to teach the slave." After speaking, he kowtowed to Jia Ke and went out.

After Jia Ke dealt with this matter, he said to the white flag capital Jiya: "Now you are going out to patrol with the white flag, replace Ma Zuo, and the others let the soldiers eat and rest for a while, and tonight we will set off overnight and move immediately." ”

That night, Jia Ke took all the cavalry and the captured population, and moved to the northeast overnight, Jia Ke did not dare to be careless on the way, this time with the captured population, the march speed was not fast. So he discharged a large number of scout horses to the fourth middle school so that he could detect the enemy in advance.

But the situation was going well, and the Tatars were too lax in their defenses. Nearly 80,000 of them walked on the steppe for two days, but they did not encounter the Tatar horses.

After nearly two days of marching, Jia Ke's army finally encountered a small tribe again, and this time the people of the small tribe were very vigilant and discovered Jia Ke in advance. But even if Jia Ke's whereabouts were discovered, there was no way to do it. A small tribe of a few thousand people like this, facing the blow of tens of thousands of people, has no power to fight back at all.

The remaining leader of this small tribe was very shrewd, and did not put up any resistance at all, and when he saw that things were irreparable. He took the entire tribe and surrendered to Jaco.

Jia Ke was bloodless and got another batch of people. Jia Ke rested in this tribe for a day, and after breaking up the young and strong people of this tribe, they were divided into the Eight Banners, and the young and strong people in these tribes directly let them become Eight Banner warriors to participate in the fight, so that they could completely sever their relations with the Tatars. And so that they can no longer be together, in case there is a change.

In this way, Jia Ke kept sweeping on the grassland, during this time, Jia Ke's troops swept the entire northern grassland like locusts, all the tribes he encountered only two ended, most of the small tribes surrendered in their entirety, and the big tribes did not surrender so easily, the result was that all the men were wiped out, and the women and children were packed and taken away by Jia Ke's troops as trophies.

In a period of more than a month, there were more and more men under his Eight Banners, from the original 30,000 to 50,000. And the number of prisoners under his command exceeded 100,000. And he did not consume any supplies for a month, they ate wherever they went, and used the cattle and sheep of the Tatars as their food.

Jia Ke felt that it was almost time to stop by this time, and now that the tribes on the grassland had received the news and had begun to migrate north, there would be fewer and fewer opportunities for them to find the lone tribe. And during this time, there were constant probes around them.

Jia Ke had already sensed the danger coming, and he did not immediately lead his troops back to Kaiping Town, he felt that the Tatars must be waiting for him in that direction.

Jia Ke ordered his men and horses to turn around and head directly to the northwest, and his goal was Zhangbei, the seat of the Arsleng Khan's tent.

Arslen Khan was stationed in Zhangbei at this time, and this year he did not concentrate his forces to attack one place as he did last year, but scattered his forces throughout the border, placing 10,000 or 20,000 men in each direction to attack the various passes in the Central Plains. This year, he deliberately avoided Xuanfu Town, a place that made him fall several times, but this year's effect was still very good, and through the good news sent from everywhere, each place plundered a large amount of people's wealth and food. Due to the avoidance of Jia Ke this year, the tribes have lost very few people, which makes the tribal leaders satisfied, and their complaints about him have also decreased somewhat.

This year's situation has made Arslen Khan very happy, and this year can be said to be a bumper harvest. Just when Arslen Khan was excited about his rich life, he received bad news from the tribes in the rear. Ten days ago, there was a force that kept sweeping the steppe, they burned and plundered everything on the steppe, and many tribes have been attacked, including many large tribes like the Erut Department.
