After listening to Wang Shouren's words, Zhu Houzhao thought about it, the two charging guards plus the scout guards, the battle losses in this battle were not large, and there were still more than 20,000 people. However, Zhu Houzhao still felt that it was a bit little, this was the first large-scale long-distance raid war, and the importance to the Ming Dynasty was self-evident, and it was natural to prepare for power to win.

"So be it!" Zhu Houzhao thought about it, picked up a piece of meat and took a bite, and then said, "You bring the Black Dragon Guard." ”

The Black Dragon Guard is Zhu Houzhao's personal guard, although there are only 3,000 people, but they are all the best of the best, whether it is the quality of individual soldiers or equipment, it is definitely the best among the Black Dragon Army. These 3,000 people are brought, at least when they encounter a fortification, they can be allowed to fight, for this battle, Zhu Houzhao smiled and sent the Black Dragon Guard to Wang Shouren.

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly shook his head: "Your Highness, the Black Dragon Guard is His Highness's personal guard, they want to protect His Highness's safety, how can they let the ministers take it away?" ”

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, interrupted what Wang Shouren was about to say, and said: "This battle is very important, you must do your best to win, if you can't win, then you have to bring these Black Dragon Army back alive." You also know how much effort this palace has spent for the Black Dragon Army in the past few years, and the battle can not be won, but the Black Dragon Army must not lose, understand? ”

"The minister understands!" Wang Shouren nodded heavily: "The minister will definitely disappoint His Highness, Your Highness rest assured." ”

Seeing what Wang Shouren was going to say, Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Wang Shouren's shoulder: "Bo'an, don't worry!" The safety of the palace is guaranteed, and now that Ordos has been cleared by us, there are no large-scale Tartar tribes in the entire Hetao, in this case, who can hurt the palace? Go with confidence! ”

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Shouren agreed, his eyes were unusually firm, obviously this time he was ready to do a big job.

Zhu Houzhao didn't continue the topic, he felt that if he was talking about it, he was setting up a flag, and this kind of thing couldn't be done.

"The palace will be stationed here and waiting for you, if the battle ahead is unfavorable, you will send someone back to deliver the news, and the palace will send someone to meet you." Zhu Houzhao decisively changed the topic, and after a moment of silence, Zhu Houzhao added: "In this battle, don't have the kindness of a woman, surprise attack on Fengzhou Beach, if you can't take prisoners, then don't take prisoners." ”

In fact, Zhu Houzhao also hesitated for a long time before saying this, as a later generation, Zhu Houzhao knew that this kind of killing was meaningless and cruel.

But war is like this, there is no way to use the methods of the future generations to do the current thing, the most beneficial way for the Ming is to kill, or even a massacre. Extermination, these are two words, but they are two bloody words. Zhu Houzhao didn't want to, but there was no other way, only by thoroughly extinguishing the fire and sieve, the western front of the Ming Dynasty would be completely stopped and stable.

"Your Highness rest assured, the minister understands!" Wang Shouren also nodded heavily, of course he knew the meaning of His Highness's words.

The so-called don't take prisoners, naturally it is impossible to let them go, then it can only be killed, the battle of the surprise attack on the grassland, the Han people have fought a lot, and there are naturally a lot of massacres. The Han people are also treated as two-legged sheep when they are treated, and Wang Shouren naturally knows this. He studied military books and history books, so he naturally knew what he should do, and he Wang Shouren was not a corrupt Confucian, and he did not have the benevolence of a woman.

"Alright, let's go!" Zhu Houzhao patted Wang Shouren's shoulder, and said in a somewhat depressed mood: "Go and gather people, and then give an order, since it is a surprise attack, then don't be slow, tomorrow morning, let's go!" ”

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Prince!" Wang Shouren agreed, stood up and bowed to Zhu Houzhao, then turned around and walked into the distance.

This night, Zhu Houzhao sat on the grassland for a long time, he was thinking about a lot of things, if the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia can live in peace, or if Mongolia returns to the Ming Dynasty, then how big a territory will it be? The Mongols can fight well, the Ming Dynasty is rich in materials, and with the support of the Ming Dynasty's national strength, the pace of expansion is absolutely unstoppable.

Whether it is to fight to the north or to march in Central Asia, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty will travel all over the Eurasian plate, and there is no need to even engage in a navy, and the cavalry on the road will go directly to Europe.

Just let those people in Europe taste the whipping of God, of course, Zhu Houzhao also knew that it was impossible.

Mongolia is strong, they will not target the outside world, but will still point to the Ming Dynasty, what they want is the prosperous land of the Ming Dynasty, what they want is their former glory, and what they want is to continue to enslave the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Houzhao knows what he thinks in his heart, and he also knows that such a policy will not work, it is too idealistic.

Only by fighting, fighting to be honest, fighting to softness, hitting the grassland no one dares to oppose the Ming Dynasty, the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty opened and closed, and the entire Mongolian steppe became the horse grazing land of the Ming Dynasty, then they could start their own governance from the beginning.

Even if this is a process of internal friction, Zhu Houzhao has no way, this is human nature, so Zhu Houzhao chose to give such an order. If there is no way, then you don't want to take prisoners, Zhu Houzhao knows deeply that if he gives this order, there will be more heads under the knife of the Ming army, and organized and disciplined killing is the most efficient.

In the middle of the moon, Liu Jin, who was waiting for Zhu Houzhao, came to Zhu Houzhao's side: "Your Highness, it's too late, it's time to rest." ”

Glancing at Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao nodded, Liu Jin has been following the logistics side these days, and he has also been infected with the wind and cold, and these days are better, so he will wait by his side. Zhu Houzhao stood up with a smile and said, "The body has just recovered, don't worry about the palace at night, the palace is much stronger than you." ”

Zhu Houzhao dared to say this, Liu Jin didn't dare to really do that, so he said with a smile: "Your Highness is wise and martial, and his martial arts are outstanding, and this body is naturally the best." A hundred slaves and maids are not as good as His Highness, and it is a blessing for slaves and maids to be able to serve His Highness. ”

The eunuch's skill in patting the sycophant is really high, whether it is his eyes, demeanor, or smile, it is very sincere, and he is telling the truth when he looks at it, not like a sycophant at all.

"Alright, let's rest!" Zhu Houzhao walked into the tent and said to Liu Jin with a smile: "You also rest early, there will be more things tomorrow." ”

Liu Jin agreed, and when Zhu Houzhao fell asleep, he withdrew to rest.

There was nothing to say all night, and Zhu Houzhao still got up early the next morning, and before dawn, Zhu Houzhao sent Wang Shouren away, and watched him lead the army to Fengzhou Beach.
