More than 5,000 tigers and leopards cavalry, against a Mongolian tribe with less than 2,000 troops, if it can't win, then Wang Feng, the infantry commander, will do it in vain.

Therefore, in less than two days, the remaining three Mongolian tribes in the surrounding area were all captured by the Tiger and Leopard Army. Not only that, but the mighty attacking army, with the attitude that talking is better than nothing, also wiped out several small tribes with a population of only a few hundred people on the march.

As for the 5,000-foot cavalry commanded by Wang Feng, in three consecutive battles, it only lost less than 500 people in full battle.

With the cattle and sheep and horses captured on the battlefield, they were continuously sent to the garrison, and under the escort of 5,000 garrisons in Datong Mansion, they were finally sent back to Datong Mansion in Shanxi.

The Haw Par Army, which lost nearly 3,000 men, also began to withdraw from Mongolia one after another.

As for the other Mongolian tribes in the depths of the steppe, when they learned from the fleeing herdsmen, the Han Chinese, who numbered less than 10,000 people, dared to go deep into the steppe and wantonly burn and loot the herdsmen on the steppe. Enraged, they quickly gathered their clansmen, formed a coalition army, and slaughtered the Haw Par Army station.

However, when they hurried to the Haw Par Army garrison, which had been burned to the ground, they were left with the skeletons of the yurts that had not yet been completely burned, and the most that remained were the almost frozen corpses of the herdsmen.

In the face of the loss of hundreds of thousands of cattle, sheep and war horses, how could the Mongols, who had always burned and looted on the territory of the Han people, be willing. Directly led the army and killed Zuoyun, a military town where 3,000 local garrisons had been stationed.

Fortunately for the Mongols, they happened to run into Dolgon, who had just fled back to Mongolia from Shanxi, on their way to the march. And on the orders of Dolgon. Forced withdrawal.

Otherwise. This coalition of tens of thousands of herders. It will definitely pay an unprecedented heavy price under the resistance of the 3,000 musketeers of the Zuoyun garrison...

The Haw Par Army took the initiative to attack for half a month, although more than 2,300 soldiers were killed in direct battles, and more than 500 soldiers were seriously injured and disabled. However, under the influence of the great harvest, everyone in the Governor's Palace had a thick smile on their faces.

In the council hall of the Governor's Palace, Zhang Wu, who has joined the Wei Zheng team. Zhou Yuhong, Wang Yang and others, according to the distinction between civil and military and high-grade highlands, sat on the seats on both sides of the council hall in a very orderly manner.

As for the main seat of the council hall, it was no surprise that he sat the governor of Shanxi, Wei Zheng.

Under the gaze of a pair of expectant, inexplicable, and puzzled....different eyes, Wei Zheng on the main seat spoke.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all the most trusted civil and military officials in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. To put it more bluntly, you are the civil and military team of this official in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces. From now on. This official will rely on you, the civil and military officials, to control the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi. ”

"I'm in such a hurry to summon you all over today. On the one hand, it is for everyone to meet and get acquainted with each other. Because, at some point, all of you here will work together and serve the Lord..."

"In addition to that, there is another important thing, and that is to inform you of something that you don't know..."

Seeing the expressions of excitement and anticipation that quickly appeared on everyone's faces, Wei Zheng didn't let everyone wait too long and continued.

"All of you are officials in Shanxi, and Yingai knows that the Tartar Dolgon commanded 10,000 horsemen, invaded Shanxi, and burned and looted in Zuoyun..."

"Now, what this official wants to tell you is that the 10,000 Tartar infantry cavalry who invaded Shanxi have been wiped out by us in half a month under the counterattack of our Tiger and Leopard Army......

"For this battle, this official will write a report to the imperial court in the next two days, and send all the more than 6,000 Tartar heads seen on the battlefield to the capital for the imperial court to inspect ......."

After Wei Zheng finished speaking, he sat in front of him among the more than a dozen people, except for Wang Feng and Zhou Shuyuan, who participated in this battle, they were still sitting motionless in their chairs. Wang Yang, the prefect of Taiyuan, who was sitting in the civil official column, stood up from the chair directly with excitement on his face, and said to Wei Zheng with a compliment.

"Congratulations to the Governor on this great victory....Such a great victory, after it reaches the capital, the emperor will definitely be happy....When the time comes, the third-class uncle on the governor's body may become a second-class uncle..."

After Wang Yang finished speaking, the remaining officials who also didn't know about this battle quickly stood up from their chairs and echoed loudly: "Congratulations to the Governor on this great victory..."

Wei Zheng waved his hand, motioned for everyone to sit down, and continued to speak: "Okay, we are all our own people, don't say compliments....here, the official will set a rule, from now on, as long as it is our own people to discuss matters, those flattering words will be held in my stomach..."

After finishing speaking, Wei Zheng continued: "The elimination of tens of thousands of Tartar foot riders is an unprecedented victory for both our Shanxi Governor's Mansion and the imperial court. ”

"However, this official did not let the Tartars go so much, because, the tens of thousands of Tartar foot riders who invaded my Shanxi slaughtered tens of thousands of people in Zuoyun in just two days..."

"In order to avenge these people who died tragically in the hands of the Tartars, this official personally commanded the 10,000-foot cavalry of the Tiger and Leopard Army half a month ago, passed through Zuoyun, and entered the territory of Mongolia, using the blood of the Mongols to pay tribute to the soldiers who died on the battlefield and the ordinary people who died in the hands of the Tartars......"

When Wei Zheng said this, several people led by Wang Yang, the prefect of Taiyuan, directly showed a stunned and shocked expression on their faces. Because, in their eyes, it has always been the Mongols and the Tatars who have burned, killed and looted in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and no Ming army has ever dared to go deep into the territory of the Mongols and the Tatars to burn and loot.

And Wei Zheng, the governor of Shanxi in front of him, actually broke this idea that had been deeply rooted in his heart, and personally commanded the army to enter Mongolia, setting a precedent since the Tartars were strong....

Of course, shock is shock, and under Wei Zheng's gaze, these people still regained their calm at the first time.

Then, with a face full of anticipation, he waited for Wei Zheng to follow.

Wei Zheng did not disappoint them, and said with a smile on his face: "Next, I will ask the military to inform you once, the specific results and losses of this official's attack on Mongolia..."

Under the simultaneous gaze of more than a dozen pairs of eyes, Zhou Shuyuan, who was sitting first in the civil department, immediately stood up from his seat. With a stern face, he said the numbers that had been reflected in his mind.

"Commander, ladies and gentlemen, the first thing Xia Guan wants to say is that in this battle against Mongolia, our Tiger and Leopard Army not only won, but also an unprecedented victory....According to the rules of our Tiger and Leopard Army since its formation, Xia Guan will first inform you of the specific losses of our Tiger and Leopard Army in this attack on Mongolia..."

"According to post-war statistics, in this attack on Mongolia, our Tiger and Leopard Army dispatched a total of 3,579 cavalry and 6,142 musketeers... In the course of the battle, a total of 1,342 cavalrymen, 992 musketeers, and 1,456 horses were lost..."

"In addition, the number of soldiers who were disabled due to serious injuries and could not return to the army was 541 people in total...."

At this time, a burst of inhalation sounded directly in the council hall.

Whether it is a civilian official or a military general, after hearing this result, they can't help but gasp.

Because, the losses of the Haw Par Army reached 30% of the total strength of the troops....

If such a result is put into other official and military units, the direct result will be that this official and military unit will directly collapse on the battlefield because of heavy losses.

And the Haw Par Army, not only did not collapse on the battlefield, but also won the battle. This has to make everyone sigh that the overall combat effectiveness of the Haw Par Army is strong.

Zhou Shuyuan, who was standing in front of everyone, did not leave them with too many shocking events. After taking a deep breath, continue.

"Next, what this official wants to inform you of is the specific results and gains of the Haw Par Army's attack..."

"After attacking for half a month, our Tiger and Par Army seized a large amount of gold and silver and gold and silver products worth 5.5 million taels of silver from the captured Mongolian tribes. In addition to this, there are also various skins worth 500,000 taels, which are being hoarded in the treasury of Datong Prefecture, ready to be auctioned for silver and grain...."

"In addition to gold and silver, the Mongols have the most livestock in their hands..."

"In this sortie, we have captured a total of 58,000 adult and sturdy war horses from various Mongolian tribes that can be used as military horses immediately....12,000 war horses that are still underage....Once so many war horses are equipped with troops, the Tiger and Leopard Army can not only form 15,000 cavalry, but even ordinary musketeers can also be assigned one person and one war horse, so as to achieve rapid maneuver on the battlefield..."

Speaking of this, a smile suddenly flashed on Zhou Shuyuan's face, and he continued: "This official remembers that during this period of time, some people have been saying that although the tuntian fields in various places are progressing rapidly, because of the lack of ploughing cattle, next year's spring plowing may delay sowing..."

"Now, what I want to tell you is that from now on, farming cattle is no longer a problem..."

"In this attack on Mongolia, our Tiger and Leopard Army brought back a total of 15,000 ploughing cattle from Mongolia. In addition to the thousands of ploughing cattle we already have, after all the divisions are carried out, we can guarantee at least one ploughing ox for forty tun people..."

"In addition to the harvest that the official just said, the biggest gain from this attack on Mongolia is sheep."

"Because the Haw Par Army brought back too many sheep from Mongolia, there is no specific number here. However, the approximate amount can still be reported to your lordship..."

"After preliminary statistics, the number of sheep in Datong Mansion and Zuoyun has exceeded 540,000........."
