The military attachés of the Guards were not subject to civilian control.

Therefore, Zhang Xuan, the magistrate of Yulin, did not have the power to command the guards to garrison Pang Guangyuan.

Pang Guangyuan has the power to deal with military operations at the right time.

According to the order given by Zhu Houzhao to the Guards, once the Guards encountered the Tartars, the small units would gather to annihilate or break them, and the large units would withdraw and wait for reinforcements.

The strategic purpose is to encroach on the little prince's power step by step.

And now, this Mongolian Menganzak is only more than 1,000 horsemen, less than half of the Ming army.

In accordance with the principle of gathering and annihilating small units, the Daming Iron Cavalry was naturally not polite, and the war horses under his command galloped over directly, and the short crossbows in their hands were fired together, and in an instant, it was ten thousand arrows at once, like a rain curtain.

Streaming down!

The short crossbow bow and arrow, which had accumulated a huge impulse, were made of new steel in the Ming Dynasty, and could penetrate even double-layer plate armor, not to mention the leather armor of these Mongol cavalrymen.

As a result, the sound of countless crossbow arrows piercing the Tartar cavalry sounded, and at the same time, bright blood flowers were splashed.

The Ming Iron Cavalry is now equipped with short crossbows and scimitars, crossbows for long-range combat, and knives for melee combat.

Of course, the distance here is only for cavalry battles, and the so-called long-range battles are not conventional.

Since the Ming Dynasty improved the steelmaking method, the production of high-carbon steel has become possible, and it is also possible to make machine tools with tool steel through the soil machine tool drawings provided by Zhu Houzhao.

At the same time, the use of hydraulic machinery can make the tool steel process better bows and springs, so that both bow and crossbow assembly, elastic structure and sight placement technology have been greatly improved.

One of the masterpieces is the short crossbow made for the cavalry of the Guards, which is conducive to preempting the enemy cavalry when hedging against the enemy's cavalry, and firing a crossbow arrow when the enemy pulls the bow to defeat the enemy.

Zack and the Tartar cavalry behind him were also well-trained, and after a rain of arrows, they did not rout, but immediately opened their bows and fired, forming a dense rain of arrows and giving the Guards a return of color.

But at this time, the Ming Iron Cavalry had already rushed to the front of these Tartar horses, and they could already see the faces of these people clearly, so except for a few arrows in the Guards, most of the Iron Cavalry had already slashed at these Tartar cavalry with their swords.

With a knife, the sharp alloy high-carbon steel directly and easily shaved the head of a Tartar cavalry into the sky under the horizontal slash of the Daming Iron Cavalry.

With great strength, he used his inertia to directly use a thick-backed knife to slash at the waist of a Tartar cavalryman, and even the people and horses were cut off at the waist, leaving only half of the body and half of the horse's body gurgling and bleeding in place!

Zack was stunned, and secretly said What kind of crossbow arrow blade is this, armor-piercing and splitting people like mud!

More than 2,000 iron cavalry of the Ming Dynasty surrounded and harvested the cavalry on his periphery in a bifurcated way, and the Zak species could only fight and retreat with their own cavalry now.

The Daming Iron Cavalry is still biting, once the cavalry under the command of this Zack species escapes in a certain direction, and there will be countless crossbow arrows in that direction to harvest the lives of the Tartar cavalry

If Zack wants to break through from the side of the Daming Iron Cavalry, the Daming Iron Cavalry will not chop, but directly throw a row of earth-shaking thunder over, iron beads, iron thorns, arsenic and other things with the explosion of the earth-shaking thunder and explode everywhere, directly blowing up these Tartar cavalry covered with scars, and even with the war horse fell to the ground crying dad and mother!

In just half an hour, Zack's cavalry completely collapsed, retreated in a panic, and some even fell off their horses directly.

With the exception of a few Tartar cavalry who managed to escape, most of the Tartar cavalry were taken prisoner, and even Zak himself was taken prisoner.

Zhang Xuan has been watching this battle in the same place, he wants to say that this is actually a robbery and killing of the Tartars by the Ming Iron Cavalry, after Yongle, almost all of them are Tartars robbing and killing the Han people, and now the Ming Dynasty can also let the Tartars taste the taste of being robbed and killed.

But Zhang Xuan had to admit that these Tartars were very poor, and even the captured Tartar nobles didn't seem to be very well dressed, let alone the ordinary Tartars and slaves at the bottom.

However, although Zhang Xuan lamented their poverty, he would not be merciful to them, after all, these people are poor, but many of them are robbing and killing, and they are never soft.

Whoever had committed the crime of plundering and killing the Han Chinese was driven to the newly opened mine to serve hard labor until ten years, after which the degree of indoctrination would determine whether they would live or die.

Other herders were also asked to work and received indoctrination courses arranged by the government.

The primary way of indoctrination is to speak the official language of the Ming Dynasty and change customs, then learn Confucian etiquette, and finally express the willingness to serve the Ming Emperor.

Only in this way can you be pardoned, or become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why Confucian etiquette is taught to these people is naturally because Confucianism is very good at grinding away people's blood and creating a person's stupidity, and only by turning these herdsmen into tame sheep can it be easy to rule.

This is naturally different from the Han education method in Yulin City.

According to Zhu Houzhao's meaning, the people of the Han family in the Ming Dynasty no longer need to focus on Confucian education, but should gradually open up their wisdom, so they can learn more knowledge; And the people of the new Ming Dynasty naturally have to learn the way of respecting teachers and the way of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, so that they no longer have the heart to kill.

The children of herdsmen who have not committed crimes against the people of the Han family in the Ming Dynasty were also gathered together for unified Sinicization education.

Specialized Confucian scholars will pass on Confucian etiquette and scientific knowledge, teach them the way to be loyal to the monarch, let them change their customs, and completely Sinicize them into Han people.

"This is your surname, and your surname is Shi now, because you and your descendants will be as hard as a rock in their loyalty to His Majesty the Ming Emperor! Your name is Shi Biao! Remember? Read it again, your name is Shi Biao! ”

The names of these herders will be changed.

But these herdsmen are not unacceptable because of this, on the contrary, they have become very active and serious in receiving Confucian education and accepting Sinicization, because, the county lord has already said, only in this way can they be qualified to become the real children of the Ming Dynasty, and become the real people of the Ming Dynasty can have their own pasture.

This is a power that only the people of the Ming Dynasty can have.

And these herders on the steppe are naturally the same as the farmers on the arable land, and they both value the land the most.

Therefore, this herdsman named Shi Biao was very active in receiving Confucian education, and took the initiative to start speaking Chinese and learning the customs of the Han people.

As far as he knew, several talented herdsmen had received their own pastures from the county government, and the sheep on these pastures would no longer belong to the slave owners but to themselves.

Because Shi Biao had often been in contact with the Han people in the border towns and carried out trade activities, he also learned some Ming official dialect and recognized some Chinese characters, and he accepted them quite quickly, so he soon became a common man with his own pastureland.

Shi Biao has also begun to actively and diligently herd his sheep since he got his own pasture, he is very happy to be a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also very happy to have such a life now, because in this way, he no longer has to be a slave, and he can still have his own wealth and be protected by the Ming court.

For many low-level herdsmen and slaves who were oppressed by the Mengyuan aristocracy before, they now have a sense of being a human being.

Zak and other Yuan people who have committed sins are naturally not so lucky, and now they have been arranged into hard labor, will wear special labor uniforms, and will be arranged by the government to do the dirtiest, most tiring and most dangerous work in the designated mining area, and unlike migrant workers, they have no wages and must work for more than ten hours a day.

This kind of high-intensity work, they have to last for ten years.

Zack couldn't stand this kind of abuse, he thought that the Han people were really merciful, so they wouldn't kill him, but now he has to admit that the Han people are not merciful but more ruthless than before, killing is just a knife, and now let himself work like a slave day and night, it is really better to live than to die!

"Smack! Hurry up, don't grind! ”

Because of his age, the old man Jia of the Han nationality could not go to the mining area to do manual work, so he became the supervisor of the mining area, and was responsible for supervising the work of these Yuanren criminals every day.

But Zak is now helpless to deal with the Han old man Jia, because he is no longer the former Yuan man Meng'an, and he also knows that if he is slightly dissatisfied, the guards on the high slopes on both sides will hack him to death on the grounds that he is plotting rebellion, and the dead bodies piled up in the ditch opposite are the corpses of Yuan criminals who are unwilling to serve labor and try to escape.

Zack doesn't want to die, it's human nature to be afraid of death, and he is no exception, he can only endure this torture and continue to work.

But what made Zack devastated was that they were the meta-human criminals who had even more unbearable torture.

Zak did not know how the Han people came up with such a method, and would periodically lead their captured Yuan people to the largest square in the county seat, where his former slaves would criticize him or listen to the Han people in the border towns cry about how their families had been mutilated by the Yuan people.

Zack was now more and more afraid of this kind of thing, at first he was angry and angry that these slaves dared to scold him, then he became afraid, afraid of these slaves, and now he is still a little guilty, and now he himself is beginning to feel that he is a sinner, a demon who owes a lot of blood.

Therefore, in the end, when the overseer continued to whip Zack, Zackseed was already numb, and the original idea of gathering some Yuanren criminals to kill the overseer and escape was annihilated in his mind.

Like Zack, the other Yuan criminals lost their former flesh and blood after being scolded by the slaves and Han family members and the heavy labor, and they were sluggish and numb, like walking corpses, only working every day, eating, eating, and working.

In any case, these Yuanren criminals made up for the shortage of labor in Yulin City, so that a large amount of iron ore was produced in less than half a year after the city was built.

At the same time, the process of repairing the official road from Yulin City to Datong has also been accelerated.

In September of the fourth year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao prepared to leave for Datong.

On the surface, the little prince did not immediately raid the border towns of Daming, but according to the information provided by Jin Yiwei, the little prince's various departments were secretly assembled, which made Zhu Houzhao even more worried that the little prince would make greater moves.

Therefore, he can't just wait for the little prince's action in the capital, he has to take the initiative.
