However, after the Battle of Pingliao, the Ming State created more than 100,000 well-equipped and powerful heroes, and they were no longer afraid of the northern nomads.

The border towns in the north were allocated a strong army of Pingliao, and the flying cavalry of the Beijing division only retained 10,000 people, and all the rest were transferred to the border towns.

These strong armies were both models and seeds, and soon led to the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the entire border town army.

The end of the war in Liaodong and the slackening of the northward advance allowed the border towns to receive a greater supply of weapons and equipment. Flying cavalry battalions and spear cavalry battalions were established one after another, and their mobility also met the conditions to compete with the nomads.

To say that it is still modest to contend with, or to be conservative.

According to the estimation of the front-line generals, the war with the Mongol tribes is already in sight. It's just that the steppes are vast, and it is easy to defeat the Mongols, but it is difficult to completely eliminate the scourge.

The emperor also thought so, although he still told not to underestimate the enemy and not to rush forward. But with muskets, artillery, and cavalry wall pushing tactics, the Mongol cavalry was indeed too far behind.

It's just that now a large-scale war with the Mongol tribes has invested a lot, and the benefits that can be obtained are far less than those in the southwest and the South Seas.

"Xiong Qing, when fighting in the future, half of the loot will be handed over, and half of the soldiers will be rewarded, how about it?" The emperor took a sip of tea, smiled and said, "It should be a good way to make my Ming army happy when they hear about the war, right?" ”

Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the emperor say "rejoice when he hears the war", he knew that this was not a sudden idea, it should have been thought about for a long time before it was launched.

Historically, there were a few Central Plains dynasties that "rejoiced when they heard the war", such as the Great Qin during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the government soldiers in the early Tang Dynasty. More are nomads, and there are Jiannu who have been beaten north.

In fact, it is not difficult to "hear the war and rejoice", the simplest is to be profitable, or material incentives.

For example, Daqin's military merit system links salaries and rewards to military merits. Therefore, from generals to soldiers, the Qin State was so happy when they heard that there was a war.

Generals are promoted to become rich, and soldiers are rich to support their families, all of which depend on war. You say the opportunity has come, and who doesn't want to seize it. Therefore, the Great Qin army is a real army of tigers and wolves, and they are all crazy people on the battlefield.

The government soldiers in the early Tang Dynasty were the same, in the conquest of foreign races, they were not soft in killing people, and they were even more unambiguous in grabbing money and treasures.

"Back to long live, the Qin State and the early Tang Dynasty can indeed learn from it, but the northern and southern conquests are not very balanced." Xiong Tingbi thought about it, bowed down and said, "Weichen is a little worried about this. ”

The South Seas Campaign and the Southwest Crusade were not a powerful enemy, but the materials and money captured after the victory were not less.

As for the north, whether it is the remnants of Jiannu or the Mongol tribes, it is a bit too much to say that they are poor, but they do not seem to be rich.

The emperor bowed his head slightly and said, "What Xiong Qing said also makes sense, but he is a little worried. The imperial court raised the army, and the food and salary were already sufficient. Wouldn't it be better if some of them could be captured? Although Beiyu and Jianyu are poor, there is always something. Cattle and sheep, land, population, etc., if it is not easy to calculate, let the Chamber of Commerce intervene and convert it into silver coins. ”

Xiong Tingbi blinked his eyes, feeling that the emperor's abacus was very fine, and the Chamber of Commerce would naturally reduce the price and discount the silver, but the donation to the imperial court would not be less.

Otherwise, such a profitable deal, why should the court give it to you!
