After a few months, the cholera epidemic was finally completely eliminated, and only more than 1,000 people died, but 45 out of 10 of the infected people were cured with the help of timely detection, Daming version of antibiotics and a large number of Chinese medicinal materials.

At the same time, the plague that broke out in Shanxi was also controlled by the strict orders of the imperial court, and also began to gradually die out, and the number of deaths was greatly reduced.

The fight against the plague is a war without gunpowder, whether the plague can be defeated is not how advanced the means of treatment and epidemic prevention are, but how strong a country's financial resources and execution are, in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, it is not that there has been no epidemic, but in the early days of the dynasty, when the country was rich and the people were strong, it naturally would not have a big impact, and in the later Ming Dynasty, the whole of North China was also related to the fact that the Ming Dynasty was incapable of organizing the fight against the epidemic. Today's Ming Dynasty is far different from the late Ming Dynasty in the original history under the reform of Zhu Youxiao, and the strength of the empire is even far beyond that of the Longwan period, so it can quickly organize forces to strangle the plague that is about to ravage North China on a large scale in the cradle.

However, what made the cholera epidemic of the imperial court officials even more profound was not how perfect the Ming Dynasty's rapid response mechanism for new invasive alien germs was, but the severity of His Majesty's punishment of officials who hoarded Juqi to make a fortune in the country, which greatly deterred these officials who were tempted by more interests in the new era, and from then on, they had to consider the interests of the entire country and whether it violated human ethics in business competition.

The fine and demotion of the cabinet scholars, the death of the dignified Hubu Shangshu in prison, the confiscation of the family property, the life of the young eunuch who was the minister of the Son of Heaven, and the death sentence of the first minister of the world, Yin, all of which made the government that had begun to gradually decay once again stop in the process of degeneration, and laid a solid domestic political foundation for the future march into the Lin Dan Khan and the battle against the Rakshasa Kingdom.

The rise in the political status of Lu Xiangsheng and Yang Sichang, officials of the Ministry of War, is only an apparent phenomenon, Lin Dan Khan, the khanate of the Lin Dan Khan Department, is not Huang Taiji, does not have a perfect intelligence system, and has not been able to detect the information that the Ming is about to raise troops against him from these public news of the Ming Dynasty.

Just when the autumn of the sixteenth year of the Apocalypse was coming to an end, after the promotion of the new fertilization technology in Huangzhuang, the entire Ming Dynasty once again ushered in a bumper harvest, and the grain output once again reached a record high, and at this time it was mostly when the Tartars were detained and plundered, but at this time, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty took the lead in convening the Praetorian Guards to go out of the customs to conquer the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan.

After nearly two years of preparation, the Praetorian Guard has expanded to more than 300,000, and each main force has reached more than 50,000 people, the main weapons have basically been completely updated to a new generation of rear-loading rifled guns, artillery and throwing bombs have also been greatly improved, the types suitable for various types of combat have also been greatly expanded, the types of poison gas bombs have also increased a lot, and the weapons of the flight battalion are no longer just incendiary packs, but can also use gliders to drop bombs with certain functions of bombers. The speed of the chariot has also been greatly improved because of the progress of material science, although it has not been as fast as the speed of the war horse, but at least it can be faster than when a person runs, and its flexibility has also been greatly improved, because with the further improvement of the steam engine, the thermodynamic utilization efficiency has also been greatly improved, so that the volume of the steam engine has been reduced.

However, this time, Lu Xiangsheng did not participate in the actual command, and Lu Xiangsheng, as the first assistant to the cabinet, is now only staying in the capital to dispatch money and food and plan strategies like Yang Sichang, and the actual command is handed over to Chang Yanling.

This is also the first time that Chang Yanling has directly commanded hundreds of thousands of people in battle, but fortunately, the opponent Lin Dan Khan's department is only a classical cavalry, and it is no longer challenging in front of the Ming Praetorian Guard, so Chang Yanling does not have to worry about losing the battle, and what he needs to worry about most now is only whether he can completely annihilate the living force of Lin Dan Khan.

However, this time the expedition to the Mongolian Lin Dan Khan Department is not only more than 300,000 Janissary troops, but also the main force of the border army in the nine border towns, in addition to the troops left behind in the border towns, a total of more than 500,000 border troops are also about to go out of the pass to sweep away the other Mongolian tribes that have returned to the Lin Dan Khan Department.

The reason for this arrangement is, firstly, to avenge the revenge of the soldiers and civilians in the border towns who have been bullied by the Tartars outside the Guanwai for a hundred years in the Ming Dynasty, and secondly, to take advantage of this time to have an absolute advantage over the Mongolian tribes to train the border army and rekindle the bloody nature of the border army.

It is precisely because the military strength of the entire empire is invested in the Mobei battlefield of the conquest of Lin Dan Khan, Zhu Youxiao also specially gave this expedition a code name, that is: "hunting", as the name suggests, the Ming Empire only regarded this military operation as a nationwide hunt, and the only prey was Lin Dan Khan and other Mongolian tribes under his control.

Sun Chuanting, Wang Zaijin, Mao Wenlong, Cao Wenzhao, Man Gui, Zhao Shujiao, Zhou Yuji and other generals from border towns participated in the expedition, and they will hunt in Mobei together with the Praetorian Guard armies to carry out an unprecedented scale of actual combat training on the grassland of Nuoda.

In addition to Chang Yanling, who was responsible for commanding the Praetorian Guard to fight against the headquarters of the Lin Dan Khan, Sun Chuanting was appointed as the supreme commander of other Mongolian tribes outside the Lin Dan Khan Department of the Expedition Department of the border army, while Sun Chengzong was appointed as the chief promotion officer to be responsible for the logistics supply of the entire army, and at the same time, Yang Sichang was also involved in this matter to ensure the logistics support of the army.

After all, this large-scale military operation is not only to train the large corps to fight, but also to improve the logistics mechanism of the entire Ming Dynasty, and there will definitely be a lot of annihilation operations carried out by the Ming Dynasty in the future, and the importance of logistics supply will become higher and higher.

……

At this time, Lin Dan Khan was still dreaming of his Spring and Autumn Festival, the fall of the Khalkha Ministry and the Korqin Department and Jiannu did not make him fully realize how terrible the Ming Dynasty is now, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Ming Dynasty to recuperate and deal with the domestic epidemic, he has almost annexed the entire Mongolian tribes in Mobei, and has become the strongest force outside the Guan, so he is now very naïve to think that he has the strength to fight with the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, the Central Plains agrarian regime has never fought against the nomadic regime outside the Guan, and the nomads have won more and lost less, so in Lin Dan Khan's view, in front of his hundreds of thousands of cavalry, even if the Ming Dynasty is strong, it is just a chicken and a dog, and it is vulnerable.

Although Lin Dan Khan has the ambition to dominate the world, he does not pay attention to production, and his mode of thinking is still at the level of obtaining the means of survival by plundering, so when the harvest is now in the pass, he still sends a large number of rangers to the Daming border town to detain the pass to collect grain.

Every once in a while, the soldiers of the Flying Battalion would hover in the air for a while to detect the enemy's situation, while the roaring chariots marched recklessly at the front, and followed the guidance of the Flying Battalion to change the direction of their advance, and the Janissary infantry behind the chariots walked in order, muskets in both hands, like a torrent of steel across the grassy grassland.

The cavalry was divided into two teams and advanced in an arc, and from time to time there would be sentinels riding away, and in the blink of an eye there would be no trace, and there were also sentinels who heard the news and returned to the main team.

On the side of the border army, almost all of them are war horses, like a storm swept away from their own area towards some small and medium-sized tribes, many tribes closer to the Daming border town were directly killed by the Daming border army, and the remnants of the cavalry of these tribes could only concentrate on Lin Dan Khan.

At this time, some of the rangers of Lin Dan Khan's department who were preparing to go south to detain the pass to collect food had been encountered by the forward troops of the Praetorian Guard, and these Tartar cavalry were dumbfounded when they saw the chariot rumbling in front of them, but they still tentatively drew their bows, and countless sharp arrows overturned directly towards the chariot, and when the bows and arrows of these Tatar cavalry clanged on the chariot, the incendiary packs and bombs of the flying battalion had also been dropped, and the boom exploded among these Tatar cavalry, and sparks splashed everywhere, Before the Tatar cavalry could understand what was going on, their limbs were separated and their intestines rolled to the ground.

After a few moments, the chariot continued to advance, and the infantry behind it still maintained a neat pace, except for the creaking of the bodies of the Tartar cavalry who had fallen to the ground and could not get up, and the wailing of some Tartar cavalry who were not yet completely dead.

At this time, there were also cavalry one after another to bring back news to Lin Dan Khan, talking about the large-scale Ming army attack, Lin Dan Khan couldn't help but feel a little surprised after hearing it, but he didn't feel very afraid, and directly gathered all the cavalry in his headquarters and began to move directly towards the direction of the Praetorian Guard.

Lin Dan Khan's headquarters cavalry has more than 100,000 cavalry, and when they are dispatched together, the scale is huge, covering the sky and the sun.

But when his 100,000 iron cavalry met the main force of the Praetorian Guard, they were dumbfounded, they didn't expect this Ming to send so many troops, but they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they found that most of these Ming troops were infantry, and after Lin Dan Khan's order, they still rolled up thousands of wild sands and divided into several roads like a long sword out of the sheath to kill the Praetorian Guard in all directions.

Suddenly, the whole steppe was filled with a sound of killing, and the chariots marching in front of the Praetorian Army also stopped, began to turn the muzzles, and suddenly countless tongues of fire erupted, and the cannonballs exploded directly between these Tartar cavalry, and at the same time, the flying battalion also dropped bombs and incendiary packs in the sky, and the flames bloomed on the grassland like gorgeous peony flowers, and the blood and stumps of countless Tartars flew up directly, splashing on the soil, rippling with boundless wails.

The artillery of the artillery battalion also began to fire, and these shells with a longer range and greater power caused the rear of the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Lin Dan Khan Department to also suffer from the shelling, and in an instant, the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Lin Dan Khan Department was blown up, and the camp suddenly became chaotic.

Lin Dan Khan was a little confused, he never thought that he could play like this in battle, he thought that he could easily slash and kill these Ming infantry in the past, even if the artillery and firearms of the Ming army were sharp, but now the fact is that his iron cavalry did not even touch the shadow of the infantry, and most of his side has been damaged by the explosion, and some places have directly become a sea of fire, and countless cavalry who were engulfed in flames were desperately wailing on the ground.

Kill!

The cavalry of the Praetorian Guard also launched a charge, crackling bullets exploding in the smoke-filled air, knocking down the Tartar cavalry one by one, and these still fighting Tatar cavalry also rushed towards the side of the Praetorian Guard cavalry without fear of death.

But the speed of their bows and arrows was obviously not comparable to the speed of bullets of the Praetorian Guard cavalry, and before these Tartar cavalry could draw their bows, countless Tartar cavalry had already been lifted from the Heavenly Spirit Cover.

The Praetorian Guard infantry, who had been hiding behind the chariot, also rushed out at this time, and screamed and killed the central position of the cavalry of Lin Dan Khan's troops, but they still marched neatly in a team, and the bullets swept across the rows, and some saw the Praetorian Guard infantry rushing over and wanted to use the fast advantage of the war horse to defeat the Praetorian infantry first, but as soon as they rushed over, they were swept down by most of the platoon bullets of the Praetorian Guard infantry.

In less than two hours, the 100,000 iron cavalry of Lin Dan Khan's department had already shown signs of complete defeat, and in the end, he Lin Dan Khan himself had to admit that this battle could not be fought.

Lin Dan Khan didn't even care about gathering the remnants, so he fled directly with more than 100 cavalry around him, while the flying battalion and cavalry chased after him first, constantly chasing behind Lin Dan Khan's ass and dropping guns and bombs.

Lin Dan Khan didn't care so much at this time, he was still running desperately, he never thought that his strength that he had worked hard for several years would be crushed by the army of Daming in an instant, he no longer dared to think of replacing Daming and rebuilding his own Dayuan country, he only thought of escaping as soon as possible and being able to live.

This is already a war without suspense, and the Praetorian Guard has begun to lose its rules, even the border troops who are conquering other tribes, they are frantically pursuing these Tartars, and some even dare to chase and kill more than a dozen Tartar cavalry with only one soldier.

Obviously, a face-to-face battle just now has directly scared the courage of these Tartar cavalry, and for the Ming army with a great appetite, they are not satisfied with the victory at this time, they continue to frantically sweep every corner of the desert grassland, almost a single Tartar cavalry has never let go, as if their military operation code name is "hunting", the Tartars at this time are prey in their eyes, and everyone is willing to hunt more prey, rather than returning empty-handed!

Lin Dan Khan was eventually shot several times by a Janissary cavalry and died, but even when he died, he did not understand why the Ming army suddenly became so powerful, and it was like destroying his own tribe, and in less than a day, he ruined the great cause of unification that he had worked hard for several years.
