Inside and outside the camp, a string of Mo family soldiers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

Some of them had already escaped, but they ran into the foot soldiers brought by Liu Xinyu and Ding Jiasheng head-on. The number of foot soldiers was not large, and they only brought more than a thousand people over,

The rest continue to cross the river.

Liu Xinyu glanced at the captives all over the ground and ordered: "Tell them, don't panic, as long as they are not heinous, the Datong Heavenly Soldiers will not kill them." ”

Immediately, dozens of military officials and civilians ran to talk to the Vietnamese captives.

Most of these officials and people are very special, most of them come from the islands of Qinzhou, and a small number come from Yong'an Prefecture, that is, the area of Fangchenggang and Beibu Gulf in later generations.

It was probably during the Zhengde period, Mo Dengyong usurped the throne of Annam, and the whole Vietnam was in turmoil. Many Vietnamese people fled to the coastal islands of Guangxi, and they have been multiplying for more than 100 years, and they are the Jing people of later China. (By the way, Mo Dengyong was born in Dongguan and moved to Annam with his father.) Mo Jingyu, who was beaten in front of him, strictly speaking, belongs to the descendants of the Han nationality. )

After Zhao Han took Guangxi, these descendants of the Vietnamese people naturally lived a new life.

On this expedition to Annam, all the cadres of the towns, villages, and peasants and soldiers in those areas who could speak Vietnamese were transferred. Not only is there in the Guangxi Division, but Li Dingguo is also on his side, and it is not a problem to communicate all the way.

When it comes to fighting, they are translators.

After the recovery of Annam, they are officials, and the overall official is promoted to three levels, and those who perform well can even be promoted to five or six ranks.

Chen Haigui is a Yue town mayor, he walked to the captives, opened his voice to comfort the captives: "Don't be afraid, our Datong army does not kill people indiscriminately." Like you, my ancestors were also the people of Annam, but now I am the people of Datong China. His Majesty the Emperor treats all ethnic groups equally.

The Han people are the elder brothers, and the various ethnic groups are the younger brothers, and everyone will be the Yue people of China in the future! “

A captive asked boldly: "My lord, ancestor, is it really our Dayue people?" “

Annam is China's name for Vietnam. The Vietnamese themselves like to call it "the Great Viet Country".

Chen Haigui scolded: "How can there be any big Yue? In the future, there will only be Datong China, and you and I are all Chinese. I tell you, as long as the emperor governs here, there will be no ding tax in the future, and there will be no labor money! As long as you farm honestly, you can be sure that you can eat enough! “

Most of the captives here belong to the common people. Even if he participated in the burning, killing and looting, most of the looted goods were owned by the generals, and to put it bluntly, they were a group of bitter haha.

Hearing Chen Haigui's words, they immediately became excited, and at the same time, they half-believed it and felt untrue.

At this time, Annan, in terms of people's livelihood, got the script of the late Ming Dynasty.

The gentry and the right colluded with the government, and they were all evading enslavement. Bureaucrats, nobles, scholars, and soldiers do not have to pay taxes to serve, and the burden is all on the common people.

Peasants or tenants, in addition to the regular amount of land endowment, also have to pay taxes, labor money, water conservancy silver, and so on. Even the royal sacrifices, village and community city god sacrifices, and imperial examinations and township test funds had to be collected from the people, and the officials had to take the opportunity to make a fortune from them.

In addition, there is a mess of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which cause Vietnamese peasants to live on the verge of starvation at any time.

What's even funnier is that there are many ethnic minorities in the mountainous areas of Vietnam, and the Vietnamese monarchs and ministers regard themselves as Chinese. They regard minorities as barbarians,

Let the village community leaders in the mountainous areas be autonomous, and the village community leaders can be hereditary, and only need to pay tribute to the central government for local products. In other words, there are still many mountain toasts in Vietnam, which is the size of a palm...... Among them, there are many Zhuang, Dai and Miao Tusi.

If it is said to be a toast, it can actually rule several villages.

For these Tusi forces in the mountains, the imperial court will send corresponding minority officials in the future, and there is no language communication difficulty anyway.

Faced with the questioning of the Vietnamese captives, Chen Haigui simply asked the captives to gather and said: "My grandfather's generation, more than 100 years ago, crossed the sea and fled to the island of Guangxi. He didn't do anything else, he just fished by the sea. In China's Ming Dynasty, the officials were very bad, but fortunately, they didn't care much about the islands in the sea, and only let the government pay tribute to the fish every year. But in the past few decades, there have been more and more fish that need to be tributed, and we often don't have any fish to eat."

"His Majesty the Emperor's heavenly soldiers are here, and they are followed by good officials. Your Majesty felt that the island was barren and could not grow much food, and that we had a hard time fishing and very low taxes. Because I can speak Chinese, I first became the village chief, and after a few years, I was promoted to the mayor of the town, and now I am sent by His Majesty to Annam...

"As long as everyone is loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, they will be able to live a good life in the future. The tax is not paid, the labor money is not paid, and the land tax is paid according to the number of acres. If you don't have a field, you don't have to give a son..."

Chen Haigui talked endlessly about good governance, and the captives were stunned when they heard it, hoping that Annan would become Chinese territory as soon as possible.

And inside the enemy camp, the final battle finally broke out.

Mo Jingyu saw that his elite troops were demoralized and already showed signs of breaking and fleeing, so he gave an order: "As long as this battle is won, each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver." For those who have made meritorious contributions in battle, they will be rewarded with five taels for killing one enemy. If you can kill the enemy general, you will be rewarded with 100 taels of silver, and the official will be promoted to three levels! “

In this way, the morale of the army was finally stabilized, and those elite troops also had the courage to fight.

But there were dragoons on all sides, and Mo Jingyu didn't know where to attack. Just as he was observing the battle situation, the tiger squat cannon of the Datong mountain cavalry was also dragged to the camp by the war horse.

A tiger squat cannon has a range of five hundred meters, far exceeding the bow and arrow.

At the same time, it can also fire scattered bombs. One cannon was fired, one big bomb and a hundred small bombs.

This thing is still a mortar, it can be projectile!

"Boom, boom!"

Far away, a door tiger squatting cannon, estimated the distance, and bombarded towards Mo Jingyu's elite troops.

This style of play is really bullying, the Mo family army is far away, and they find that the stone bullets are falling from the sky, as if hail is in the sky, which is more terrifying than being bombarded by serious artillery.

"Kill the enemy with me!"

Without thinking about where to fight, Mo Jingyu pulled out his sword and personally led the troops to charge towards the source of the cannon.

But his thousands of elites have been shattered by one-fifth of the tiger squat shelling. During the charge, some of the soldiers were affected by the rout and tried to flee in fear.

Finally rushed to a distance of dozens of paces from the Tiger Squat Cannon, and they faced hundreds of mountain cavalry. The cavalry dismounted, lined up, and raised their guns at the enemy.

At this moment, on their flanks and in the rear, the scattered cavalry also gathered, ready to seize the opportunity to charge and kill.

"Bang bang bang!"

A volley of guns rang out from the front.

Immediately afterwards, cavalry also rushed from both sides, mounted horses and released guns, and then picked up their waist swords and charged.

Mo Jingyu's elite troops were attacked from three sides, and subconsciously turned around and fled to the back, and the boss couldn't stop shouting.

"Bang bang bang!"

Shots rang out from the rear, and the soldiers finally had a nervous breakdown and fled aimlessly.

Mo Jingyu rode a horse, stupidly stunned in place, his own soldiers had already fled.

"Haha, Qi Shaobao's tiger squat cannon has made a great contribution again!" Cavalry commander Zhu Yuru smirked.

The Tiger Squat Cannon, invented by Qi Jiguang, was specially used to fight in the mountains, hills or the south full of paddy fields.

To deal with the Japanese invaders, there are not only mandarin duck formations, but also tiger squatting cannons have made great contributions. One or two rounds of scattered shelling can make the Japanese collapse and this thing is very light, it can be carried by horses and people, and it can quickly reach the battlefield when encountering the Japanese invaders.

Later, Qi Jiguang fought with the Mongols, and the tiger squat cannon also became a sharp weapon against the Mongol cavalry.

At that time, Qi Jiguang set up a cavalry battalion, with a battalion of 2,700 cavalry, which was equipped with 60 tiger squat cannons, and each tiger squat cannon was equipped with three cavalrymen as gunners. At critical times, you can even rush to attack the Mongolian cavalry with tiger squat cannons.

When encountering the Mongolian cavalry, first greet them with muskets and rockets, and then release scattered bullets from the tiger squat cannon. In close combat, the chariots block the cavalry, and the infantry puts on an improved version of the mandarin duck formation. The Mongolian cavalry retreated, Qi Jiguang's cavalry pursued, and after catching up, the salvo of "dismounting and raising cannons" was actually dismounted and raised fire, which was Zhao Han's dragoon routine, which Qi Jiguang had already used.

Now, according to actual combat experience, the northern troops are also studying Qi Jiguang's tactics, and Lu Xiangsheng also wrote a note suggesting that the tactics be improved. For example, the re-establishment of the chariot battalion and the future of going to the grassland to fight have no effect on the Manchus, but it is a sharp weapon against the steppe cavalry.

Zhao Han is also thinking about adjusting the establishment of the northern army, not only to add a new tank battalion, but also to list the tiger squat artillery as a standing weapon.

Mo Jingyu was stunned for a few seconds, suddenly hit his horse and fled, and slashed at the rout soldiers who were blocking the way.

Zhu Minru is this guy, because he was punished for being singled out before the battle, and he still didn't control his temperament at the moment. He was born in a martial arts background, and he always wanted to show his strength, and at this moment he even rushed up to chase and kill the enemy's main general.

The Datong cavalry beside him naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly rushed up to follow.

Zhu Minru killed more than 30 routs one after another, chasing from the west to the east of the camp.

Just as they were about to catch up, more than a dozen Datong cavalry came out of the diagonal and cut Mo Jingyu under the horse in an instant.

This King Mo, even the way of death, seems to be very perfunctory.

"I'm so angry!"

Zhu Minru was very depressed, and the opportunity to take the head of the enemy general in the army was gone. He was a martial artist of the previous dynasty, and he couldn't give full play to his skills, and he used muskets and artillery to get it done every time he fought.

Outside the camp.

Knowing that Mo Jingyu was defeated and died, Liu Xinyu said to Ding Jiasheng: "Just divide the troops here, you go to Haiyang, and I will go to Shenglong Mansion." After taking these two cities, he immediately went south to join Li Dingguo. “

"Good!"

Thang Long Province is the capital of Annam, and its military exploits are naturally different.

Ding Jiasheng is also too lazy to fight, he is a scholar, has a long-term vision, and is not as knowledgeable as Liu Xinyu, who was born as a miner.

As for the Mo family's army, it has not been wiped out at this time.

Mo Jingyu's son, Mo Jingrui, is leading troops to attack Shanxi.

Don't complain about place names, Taiyuan, Shanxi, Henan, Xining... These are all place names in Annan, and Zhao Han will definitely change them in the future, otherwise it will sound too awkward.
