Chapter 246: Incomparably Lucky

Huang Han said word by word: "What's your name?" Who are you? Why in Qingcheng? And why didn't he run away with Bulgadu Taiji?

"My lord, the small name is Tubwen, and I am a Nekharkha, and there are dozens of people here who are also Nekharkhas.

Some of the others were Tumut, some were Chahars, and a dozen people from the Miaohua tribe. We were all slaves captured by the Karaqins, so no one took us with us to escape. ”

"This official defeated the Karaqin people, so you should belong to this official now, right?"

"My lord, we are indeed all your trophies, and the purpose of coming here is to show that we will not be enemies of the Ming army, and we are willing to surrender to your lordship. I also beg my lords not to go on a killing spree, we have never fought against the Ming army before, and many of our people are serving in the Ming army. ”

The Mongols served the Ming army innumerable, Mangui, a Mongolian general, was promoted step by step from a pawn and finally got the title of Marquis of Dongping, there were too many Mongols under his command, and there were countless people who fought for the Ming Dynasty to the last moment.

The strategy adopted by Jiannu was to conquer Mongolia and pull up the Mongol Tartars to fight the Ming Dynasty, and Huang Han was not able to kill all the Tartars, so he had to win over the Mongols to fight Jiannu.

The Tartars here come from multiple tribes, and it is completely possible to leave them to raise horses first, and after investigation, it should not be a problem to select half of them to join the cavalry team of the "Red Banner Army".

He promised: "This officer has decided not to kill those of you who have taken the initiative to surrender, and you will stay in the army to raise horses in the future!" The official will give you three meals a day, and will also give you six pieces of silver and five buckets of grains as monthly salary. ”

Tubwen understood that Xizizi had spoken out loud to the others in Mongolian, and the three or four hundred people knelt down and kowtowed to thank him with smiles on their faces.

They said in Mongolian in unison: "Thank you, Lord Ende, we are all good at serving war horses, and we will definitely serve the horses that we raise to be fat and strong." ”

These people are basically survivors of small tribes that have been exterminated, and they are also inferior people on the grassland, and their lives are difficult.

They were really happy to learn that the well-equipped Ming army commander had given such good treatment, and as a slave of the Karaqin people, they could only barely eat two meals, and they couldn't eat enough, and they had three meals to eat for the Ming army's horses, as well as silver and grain.

Huang Han said again: "As long as you are willing to work hard, this official will select some people among you to join the 'Red Flag Army'."

At that time, the treatment will be doubled, and women will be given to settle down and become free people, and you will receive the same reward as the Han army for your military achievements, and you will also be able to become an officer. ”

After he translated Huang Han's statement, those Mongols were even more excited, and the meaning expressed in Mongolian was nothing more than loyalty to Huang Han, willing to become a warrior to fight for the Ming Dynasty, wanting to have their own women, and wanting to have a home.

The great rebellion planned by the blacksmith leader Shen Cunli was aborted, because before the arrival of the Ming army, the Tartars in Qingcheng had slipped away one after another, and he organized a thousand men with a variety of weapons to occupy the warehouses and grain depots to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos to burn them.

Song Pengfei and Zhao Kun and other officials who led the city to understand the situation met with Shen Cunli, and after a detailed conversation, Song Pengfei felt that this person could be of great use, and immediately brought him to see his teacher.

After Huang Han inquired about the ins and outs, he asked Song Pengfei to give Shen Cunli a pair of seized iron armor on the spot, and asked him to take the lead in leading the Han people in Qingcheng to search for the Tartar family and confiscate the Tartar's belongings.

Shen Cunli saw the Ming generals and knew that it was no longer a fantasy to go home, so in order to gain the trust of the Ming army, he handed over his only son Shen Ming, who was already twelve years old this year, to Song Pengfei, because he found that there were many young men under the command of this Song chief.

Shen Ming will be thirteen years old after the New Year, inheriting his father's physique and growing taller than his peers.

Song Pengfei liked it more, and he also wanted Shen Cunli to do things for the "Red Flag Army" with all his heart, so he announced on the spot that Shen Ming would be supplemented as a young student soldier and stay by his side to train in person.

When he saw his son appear wearing the same uniform as other young cadets, Shen Cunli couldn't help but burst into tears......

Huang Han knew that there should be many children like Shen Ming, and these teenagers who had been enslaved by the Tartars for at least a year did not need to deliberately instill hatred, they should all hate the Tartars and Jiannu.

Such soldiers are most likely to be of the same mind as the "Red Banner Army", and he instructed Song Pengfei and Zhao Kun to find some older children to be included in the ranks of young soldiers.

The Karaqin people fled without a fight, leaving behind many Han slaves, many cattle and sheep, and a large amount of supplies and grain, but not a single war horse was lost.

The knights of the "Red Banner Army" concentrated their efforts to intercept the fleeing tribes, and they pursued north along the rutted tracks until the afternoon, when the unlucky Gowotai was surrounded by the Ming cavalry.

Gewotai dismantled the yurt and put it on the cart last night to lead his tribe to migrate north, but unfortunately he was really not a good man who could afford to put it down, and he was reluctant to give up a slave, so his cart, including the war horses, was fully loaded.

Such a large and heavy team can walk 50 miles a day, and they are also driving the sheep, so although they set out early and take a noon at night, it is to no avail, and they are discovered by the "Red Banner Army" forty miles north of Qingcheng and successfully encircled.

There were three or four hundred light cavalry under the command of Kowotai, and the children and the elderly took up arms to resist in an emergency, and their total strength was less than a thousand.

The "Red Banner Army" came with more than 1,100 horsemen, and the equipment of the men and horses of Gowotai was not at all comparable to that of Zhuoerbi's cavalry, and the number of them with iron armor was only thirty or fifty.

Most of the hastily mobilized old people and half-grown children did not even have leather armor, and they wore sheepskin jackets and picked up small calf horn bows in a vain attempt to start a battle with the iron-like cavalry of the "Red Banner Army".

The result can be imagined, the nearly one-sided slaughter was not thrilling or dangerous, and the light cavalry of the Kowotai Division, which was at an absolute disadvantage in strength and equipment, was slaughtered.

Because Hanzi and Wang Zhanpeng were quick and ruthless enough to lead their men and horses, the Gewotai didn't even have time to lay down their arms and talk about the conditions of surrender.

In the end, Gewotai, the middle and upper class Taiji of Karaqin, was chopped in the chest by Hanzi with a flying axe and ended his life, and all the materials of this tribe were captured by the Ming army, which rescued the small 2,000 Han people, and found that other Mongolian tribes who were also slaves captured more than 40 people.

Qingcheng is destined to be sleepless tonight, because there are really dozens of soldiers and soldiers who have found their lost relatives, and the laughter and crying have infected too many people.

A man named Gu Zhun who was less than thirty years old found his wife and children, and felt extremely lucky, and learned that his five-year-old daughter couldn't stand the upheaval and died on the way out of the customs.
