The management of the "Red Banner Army" was not comparable to that of the Jiannu, and after accepting the surrender of the small Tartar tribes, the young musketeers began to conduct censuses and establish personnel files for the small tribes.

In order to deter the chiefs who were forced to surrender to the power of the Ming army, they had few crooked thoughts.

Next, the "Red Banner Army" will adopt the method of suddenly surrounding the small tribe that has surrendered, re-checking the population, and identifying whether the leader of the tribe is in defiance of the yang and the yin, whether he is taking in the defeated soldiers, and vainly increasing his own strength.

The young musketeers of the "Red Banner Army" told the tribal chiefs and some elders about the usefulness of this when they recorded their household registrations, and the tribal chiefs were so frightened that they immediately sent many people to find the clansmen who had escaped.

The chieftain was worried that the Ming army would not accept the surrender, so he sent some young clansmen to hide in the mountains, in order to leave some seeds for the clan, so as not to be exterminated, and also to hide part of their strength, which was the case when they dealt with Jiannu in the past.

Who knows that the Ming army is too powerful, and anyone can write and calculate at will, and there are many Mongolians in the team, these people are extremely familiar with the Mongolian tribes, and they take the young Han soldiers to find people to talk to each other, and it doesn't take half a day to understand the situation.

The situation of each family in the tribe was recorded in a book by a Han teenager, but unfortunately the Tartars were uneducated and did not know what the Ming army had written.

But they all understood that this was a record of the population of the entire tribe, and it would not be so easy to lie in the future, and if there were suddenly more young and middle-aged people, they would be considered to have taken in the defeated soldiers of Subu Di and Se Stunned.

The chiefs took the initiative to confess the hidden population number, and the "Red Banner Army" recognized it, and gave time for the young adults who ran out to hide to go home, but after the time limit passed, they found that the number of young people in the tribe had increased for no reason, and they would be defeated.

The "Red Banner Army" first raised a butcher's knife to kill, not only the left wing of Karaqin was destroyed, but many small and medium-sized tribes were also wiped out.

Just when the chiefs of the small tribes who chose to surrender and accept the management of the "Red Banner Army" trembled, Operation Grace began.

The tribes that did not have enough food to survive the winter were given some miscellaneous grains that barely kept them from starving, and not only that, but they also received a lot of lambs, calves, and foals.

This sortie on the steppes was completely different from two years ago, when it was burning, killing, and robbing, destroying as much as possible the ability of the Tartars to resume production.

Today, the land will be managed, and the Tartars who have been left behind will become herders to produce cattle, sheep, horses and furs for the "Red Banner Army".

Therefore, Huang Han issued an order before setting off that no breeding sheep should be killed, not a single lamb should be killed, and calves and foals should not be lost.

This autumn and winter this year, this prairie lost tens of thousands of people, more than 200,000 cattle, sheep and horses, and those who survived will have a much better life next year.

If there are fewer people, the food and meat needed will be correspondingly reduced, and the proportion of resources in a household will naturally be higher. If there are fewer cattle, sheep, donkeys and horses, there will be less damage to the pasture, and the pasture will get valuable recovery time.

In order to control the steppes and control the Tartars, it is necessary to make them a plate of scattered sand forever, and now it is necessary to have foresight, it is very important to restrain the development of the Tartar tribes, and it is most appropriate to keep each Tartar tribe in control of no more than 200 and a population of no more than 1,000.

Most of the people chose to be the head of the chicken rather than the tail of the phoenix, and the dozens of small tribes left behind, the strongest of them did not exceed 200 control strings, and the possibility of them wanting to bully or dominate other small tribes was much smaller.

If the chiefs are almost the same in strength, they will not be able to complete the annexation, they will not be able to complete the great development, and they will not be able to have thousands of controlling strings, which will lead to the big tail and become a big problem for the Han nation.

Of course, in order to achieve long-term peace and stability in the steppe, it is necessary to accept some Mongols who are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty, so that the leaders of the "pro-Ming faction" can gain benefits, and the chieftains who are obedient to the yang and yin will lose power.

With the "pro-Ming faction" ventilating and reporting, the "Red Banner Army" was able to grasp the dynamics in a timely manner, and with the control of ironware, grain, and trade, as well as a strict household registration management system, it was not a problem to control Yanshan.

After 100 days of rampant operation in Yanshan, the autumn offensive came to an end, and the "Red Banner Army" suffered less than 300 casualties.

This number is about the same as the number of casualties caused by accidents that occurred during the march over the mountains and mountains, because of the thick clothes and the fact that the soldiers who fought in close combat were wearing helmets and armor, so the mortality rate was not high, and the current losses did not exceed 200 people.

When the army returned to the division, it brought with it many people from various tribes who came to serve, and these people were in a good mood, because Huang Han did not let them work in vain, gave them the most basic treatment, and paid them half a year's salary in advance to leave these people to the family.

These Tartars who came to serve began to calculate their monthly salary in December, and were given six pieces of silver and five buckets of miscellaneous grain every month, and now three taels of silver and three stones of miscellaneous grain have been paid in advance.

The purpose of this was to show that they had served the Ming army, and their families would be fed and clothed immediately.

They plundered the winter-sleeping areas of the left wing of Karaqin, and seized 30,000 or 40,000 Tatars' rations and daily necessities, which was enough to distribute thousands of stone of miscellaneous food to the Tatars who followed the service.

The total amount of grain seized exceeded 20,000 stones, and some tribes were given subsidies of several thousand stones, and there was a surplus of 10,000 stones.

The on-the-spot processing of 10,000 stone of grain and several large thousands of lambs, breeding sheep, foals, calves, and young donkeys greatly reduced the amount of transportation, and the rescued Han people and captured Tartar women could not meet the transportation capacity with all the carts.

Fortunately, the "Red Flag Army" brought a lot of wheelbarrows, and when they returned to the division, they were all fully loaded.

More than 1,000 young and middle-aged Tartars did not expect that they would receive food and salary if they were forced to follow the Ming army, and they did not expect that the Ming army would be generous enough to send them in advance for half a year.

The Tartars are very poor, there is never enough food to eat, and their small tribe is bullied and exploited by the big tribes and even poorer, and there are many hungry people.

The Ming army required young men between the ages of 16 and 30 to serve not by the chieftain, but on the basis of recorded household records, and then lined up for on-the-spot selection.

The Tartars didn't know what the Ming army meant, and the young and middle-aged people who were selected were depressed one by one, and the half of the people who were not selected secretly called luck.

Who knew that the Ming army was too bad, and then it was announced that the people who followed the service had food and salary and were paid in advance for half a year, and the silver of the white flowers was in his hands, and the six sacks and three stones of miscellaneous grains were piled up in front of him, and half of the people who were sad and happy couldn't hold back and cried a lot.

Not only that, but the propaganda team of the "Red Banner Army" and the pacification officers also widely announced that after six months, they would again select from among the young and middle-aged people who had served in the service to become trainee soldiers, and at that time, the military salary would be doubled and they would have steel armor.
