The scalps of the two were numb, not only because of Yan Chunsheng's unparalleled bravery, but also because of the remaining 30,000 or 40,000 women and children in front of them and the more than 4,000 cavalrymen who were most loyal to Gunbirick.

How to control it and not cause chaos?

Now, at first, they can only rely on the Ming army to form a large circle, and the arrows, muzzles, and muzzles of the guns are aimed at them.

On the edge of the Yellow River, there were still people crossing the river, and the shelling did not stop. Some of the people who had just luckily landed ashore looked up and saw their lord and his personal guards, being watched and kneeling in front of a man wearing a Ming red official robe.

"Let the word go. If you haven't crossed the river yet, you don't have to cross it, wait for the south! Tang Shunzhi looked at Gunbilik, "This official is the governor of the Ninggan border region ordered by His Majesty, how to deal with you and your people, Your Majesty's grace is mighty, and he will not kill them all." ”

“…… My hurt ......"

"The sooner things settle down here, the sooner you can be healed."

"My son ......"

Tang Shunzhi's eyes were inexplicable: "There are heavy troops on the side of Gudu at the mouth of the river, so it must have started a fight a long time ago." Whether he came to rescue you or ran away by himself is not something you should worry about. The Governor now sends an order to the past, and if the fighting continues, he may let the remnants of your Ordos cross the border. ”

The general trend of 10,000 households in Ordos has gone, and the more than 10,000 soldiers led by Noyandala are no longer insignificant.

To the east, Noyandara, who crossed the river, was not without artillery fire.

Even if they do escape, so what?

With such a victory in this battle, it will take a long time for Daming to consolidate the results. The right-wing Jinong's legacy is still alive, and Noyandara must reunite the tribe to the north. In the first battle, he did not dare to go south easily, and he would only have internal friction with other tribes.

And Gunbirik got the "grace" of Daming, and Ordos was never completely cut off, so he could help Daming pacify his captured subordinates and people with peace of mind.

Even the entire Ordos tribe was destined to be scattered.

Tang Shunzhi sighed, if the Ming Dynasty's troops were enough, it might not be impossible to surround and kill them steadily. Rushing to the Yellow River or whatever, maybe it's better to deal with than now.

However, the capture of Gunbiric alive is, after all, a great achievement. The Hetao is so big, and the defensive line has not yet been arranged, so it may not be a bad thing to have more prisoners.

As for whether they will have chaos, rebellion, and internal and external attacks in the future, it depends on the future wrist of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, there was chaos along the Yellow River again. Some of the captives who had just crossed the river had never seen how this battle was lost, but now they did not dare to lay down their weapons easily in the face of the encirclement of the old enemy, and were trying to break through.

Who knows what it would be like to become a captive of the Ming Dynasty?

Some people thought so, and even turned and jumped into the river to the south after a sharp look in their eyes.

With the first, there was the second, and all of a sudden, the captives who had just landed on the shore turned around and jumped towards the Yellow River.

Tang Shunzhi looked at all this coldly: "If you don't surrender, kill it." ”

Once the order is given, the Ming army on the shore will not be soft. The sound of cannons, guns, bows and arrows returned, and Gunbiric wept tears of pain as he watched the sight.

The Gunberic guards who were surrounded by them had been disarmed, and now they were in a state of tears, and many of them stood up and shouted, as if they were about to rebel.

Tang Shunzhi suddenly twisted his eyebrows: "Over the years, how many Han people have you tortured and killed?" ”

He lifted the hem of his official uniform and fastened it, grabbed the spear that the guard was carrying, and ran straight over.

Although the opponent was unarmed and invincible, Tang Shunzhi couldn't catch up with the guards behind him, and he was killed in the pile of prisoners.

Yan Chunsheng and Zhu Qi were dumbfounded, not knowing why Tang Shunzhi did it himself. If you want to suppress it, it's not that there is no Ming army next to it. He killed the prisoners himself, what is the matter?

"Don't come here!" Tang Shunzhi shouted coldly, "If you feel unwilling, you can capture this governor, what if this governor lets you cross Yin Mountain?" ”

Yan Chunsheng opened his mouth, he couldn't figure it out.

Seeing Tang Shunzhi so arrogant, Gunberic felt even more incredible after listening to what he said.

"Ben Governor counts his word!" Tang Shunzhi stood there, untied the official robe he had just changed into for surrender with one hand, and held a gun in the other, "Gunbiric, this governor asked you to pick a hundred people." ”

Zhang Jing looked at Yan Chunsheng, and then looked at Tang Shunzhi thoughtfully.

The shore is still killing the trappers in the river, but here Tang Shunzhi made a bet with Gunbiric.

Gunbirick didn't speak.

Tang Shunzhi finished taking off his official robe, inside was Jinjia, and at his feet were a few Tartars he had just assassinated, and the rest of the people had already surrounded him. Tang Shunzhi's spear pointed at Gunbiric: "This governor must stay in the Hetao, and your tribe will be under the control of this governor in the future." If there are a hundred elite men, and they cannot help Ben Du with a scimitar in their hands, you and your people will die from now on with the heart of rebellion. If the Governor is really captured, isn't it a situation where the Governor can be held hostage again and he can leave safely? ”

Gunbiric thought to himself, are you very good at fighting? Why say such childish words? If there is a real chance, it is still possible to think about rebelling.

Now, he only felt that Tang Shunzhi hated the Mongols extremely much, and wanted to lure him into agreeing, and then simply kill all these young people.

However, after Yan Chunsheng heard these words, his heart moved, and he understood a little. He laughed and said in Mongolian, "Compare and match." If Tang Dutai loses, General Ben can also guarantee to let you go. ”

Gunbirick looked at him blankly.

Yan Chunsheng grinned.

In the end, the fight began.

The hundred people who were selected by Gunbirick were all returned to the scimitar. The Ming army, on the other hand, formed a large circle and let them fight inside.

The fate of the nearly 40,000 ethnic groups in Ordos seems to be tied to this competition.

Tang Shunzhi stood calmly, and a hundred grassland warriors were eyeing him.

After the battle began, Yan Chunsheng began to explain.

"We Han people have a saying, one inch is long, one inch is strong. The Mongols dismounted, and though they were still brave, they were not afraid. ”

"Naturally, a hundred people against one, that person must be a super martial artist."

"Don't you know, our Tang Dutai, his martial arts are even higher than Hanhai Boyu Dayou. General Yu, you know, right? Ben General is only outstanding in archery, and his fists and feet are no match for General Yu. ”

Gunbiric's eyes were glazed, and he watched Tang Shun's spear over there come out like a dragon.

Yu Dayou? Can't beat him?

You can't beat Yu Dayou either?

So this time to attack Hetao, my dignified right wing Jinong is not worthy of Yu Dayou to lead the army from the east again?

"You probably wonder, why is Tang Dutai's martial arts so strong, but he doesn't become a general? Because Tang Dutai's strongest thing is not martial arts, but the art of war. ”

Yan Chunsheng muttered to Gunbirick with a smile, and said slowly when Tang Shunzhi's spear tip continued to have blood stains: "This time, it was Tang Dutai who expected you to cross the river from here, and there are cavalry crossing the river on the east side of the ice. Originally, this general was guarding the Yinshan Pass and preparing to block you, Zhang Futai went around from the desert to the west of Yinshan Mountain to block you, and Funinghou blocked you from the east. ”

"As soon as there was a movement on the south side of the Yellow River, Tang Dutai changed his strategy and sent orders to the Quartet. You see, now General Ben has caught you. ”

"Your Majesty is going to the north, and I didn't plan to repeat it this year. But Tang Dutai played a strategy to go up, and His Majesty went to Taiyuan, and then went to Kaiping with confidence. ”

"Guess why? His Majesty's trust in Tang Dutai is because he knows his ability. Just a matter of repetition, Tang Dutai is enough to preside over it alone. ”

"He can plan and kill."

Gunbirick watched in a daze as his bravest warriors fell over there, his heart like a knife, his face like ashes.

Yan Chunsheng's words were like a whisper from the devil: "It's all my fault for Lao Tzu, I captured you alive, now there are too many people in your clan, and I am afraid that it will be easy to cause chaos in the future." If you don't accept it in the future, Tang Dutai will kill mercilessly like now. If you are obedient, Tang Dutai will not have to make any excuses, understand? Tang Dutai was born as a literary champion, and he is not a problem with governance and education. If General Yu had been replaced, this battle would probably not have caught you so recklessly like me. The blunt knife cuts the meat, grinds and grinds it apart, kills all the young and strong, and only leaves women and children, where is there so much trouble? ”

Gunbiric felt nothing but chills.

Staying in the Hetao, he naturally knew that the Ming governor in the south was a young courtier favored by the emperor, and he was the champion of Wen.

But he really didn't know that this Wen Zhuangyuan was so capable of fighting.

That's not a bare-handed man, it's a steppe warrior with a hundred scimitars in his hands.

He only superficially thought that this governor wanted to establish his authority, and Yan Chunsheng told him that this guy thought that there were too many captured Mongols, and he would kill a little if he found an excuse. Liwei is indeed Liwei, and what it shows is that it will only suppress their attitude in the future.

has that ability, that ability, and the trust of the Ming Emperor.

Seeing through his entire plan, he just mobilized all kinds of armies to besiege him, and it was just the young man who played with a gun over there?

Gunbirick thought that Yan Chunsheng was the main general. Now that I think about it, how can the real master appear in the isolated north?

Yan Chunsheng patted him on the shoulder: "The Mandarin Duck Formation that made you suffer a big loss in Jingping was created by Tang Dutai, Tang Dutai and General Yu, one scholar and one martial artist, are also teachers and friends." In the future, Tang Dutai will be in Hetao, and General Yu will be in Datong, and the two of them will greet you with the blessings of Ordos, and think carefully about how to accept it. ”

As the words fell, Tang Shunzhi's spear tip was pulled out of the throat of the last man, and he coldly watched Gunbirick approach step by step.

The tip of the spear was dripping blood, and the old Gunbirick looked at his young face, thinking of the young Ming Emperor who had never met before, and his heart was extremely cold.

Is my answer really right?

What kind of generation of young monarchs did the Ming Dynasty have?

On the bank of the Yellow River, the Ming army raised its arms and shouted, and the face of the captives was like ashes.

Some people in the special operations camp felt that Tang Shunzhi was forcibly stealing the limelight from Yan Chunsheng, and Yan Chunsheng gave them a color.

Zhu Qi listened to Tang Shunzhi's still uniform breath, lowered his head and entered the garbage introspection time again: This time the credit should be enough, Your Majesty has a brilliant vision, and the military stage of the Ming Dynasty in the future is theirs.

When the emperor asked him to come to Taiyuan Town, Zhu Qi once thought that he would be the main force of the complex in the future.

Now he knows that the emperor asked him to come here to hug his thigh, just like when he asked Guo Xun to go to Datong to hug Yu Dayou's thigh.

He was also extremely grateful to Guo Xun for the letter he sent to Guangdong at that time: Hurry up and kneel, help Qin Cha kill, and prepare to fight hard.

With a single thought, it may be different today.

Or in other words, there was no today at that time - Zhu Qi can still remember the way Zhang Fujing looked at him at that time, that guy was really ready to cut him down.

Does the Emperor need these old ministers to fight?

……

Yan Chunsheng couldn't understand the third layer that Tang Shunzhi was going to do.

The good news arrived in the capital, and the government and the opposition were shocked.

The Loop returned, and Gunbilik was captured alive, and nearly 40,000 captives were taken prisoner. From east to west, plus the previous battles, more than 20,000 enemies were killed this time, and the Yellow River did not know how much was washed away, and there were more than 20,000 sets of captured soldiers and civilians left south of the Yellow River, and Yan Chunsheng had captured nearly 30,000 prisoners before.

Xia Yan muttered to himself: "Your Majesty knows people......

He still remembered the distrust of the government and the opposition when he came to the capital to be a general staff officer and Tang Shunzhi became the governor at the age of 20.

After a few years, it was a foregone conclusion that Waiyun would be subdued, Jiaozhi would be completed, Malacca would be restored, Hetao would be returned, and Beiyu would be weakened.

Zhang Fujing exhaled a long breath: "Hetao has captured so many cattle and sheep, and the military rations can breathe a sigh of relief......"

What can Yang Shen say? Yang Shen could only sigh: "The talent of Jingbian Bo and the courage of Zhen Anbo are really once in a thousand years." ”

"Now we have to hurry up and discuss how to deal with the aftermath. The royal car is in Kaiping, what should I do if I offer victory and prisoners? Now that the Hetao has returned, how to send officials, garrison troops, and relocate people ......"

There are a lot of things to deal with, this is a happy wax moon, but also a troubled wax moon.

There is no doubt that Daming will have one more provincial-level border area, or even two - and the old land of Daning in the south of Kaiping.

The extra territory must be governed as solid territory. The Hetao is too well managed, and the depth of Daning is also crucial to Beijing's security.

"Cheng Guogong, Yu Yuma, Herding Superintendent, Tongyi Bureau, Transfer Operation, Construction Bureau, ......" Zhang Fujing quickly thought of a lot of things, "You have to prepare in advance." ”

The repair and extension of post roads and post stations, the construction of border cities and forts, horse farms, and material transfer......

Here in the capital, we must first come up with a clear strategy and send it to Kaiping.

Naturally, there was also a need for the demarcation of the new border and the choice of a governor on the other side of the Loop.

“…… It can only be Tang Dutai. Xia Yan's eyes were inexplicable, "In front of the Ordos people, he killed people with his own hands, and he had a grudge against the captives." The Tartars are afraid of power but not virtue, and it is natural to use heavy codes first, and Ying De should be this wicked person. ”

Zhang Fujing was noncommittal, he knew what Xia Yan really wanted to say.

Tang Shunzhi is too young, and now he has made such immortal achievements, how will he go next?

It will take at least a generation to re-lay the foundations of the Loop. In the time of this generation, there is a need for a person who can be overwhelmed by foreign races and has complex internal affairs, and there is also a need for a person who can change the Hetao and reappear in the south of the Yangtze River.

There are no longer many military exploits there, if you just go there to mix up your official career experience, how can you do great things well?

Tang Shunzhi directly said there that he was the future governor of the Hetao area, and then killed the captives, just to send a message to the emperor and the important ministers of the court: he is in the Hetao, he can do things well, and everyone does not have to worry that he may have troops and self-respect.

There is no doubt that there are so many captives who have surrendered, and His Majesty must find a way to appease them directly, and will not let them also be controlled by Tang Shun.

How to deal with this matter needs to test the proportions of the monarch and ministers.

Da Ming doesn't know how many years he hasn't encountered such a situation again, and the problems of Duoyan Sanbu are all old yellow calendars from a hundred years ago.

The good news reached the capital as soon as possible, and the people of the capital who were about to celebrate the New Year were very excited.

His Majesty's royal expedition to the north is really overwhelming now.

Hetao returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the right-wing Tartars closest to the Ming Dynasty were almost swept away, isn't this a sign of prosperity?

At least from now on, Shanxi, Xuanda, and Beijing will not have to worry about the southern invasion of the Tartars.

The firecrackers were taken out early, and the wind quickly spread outside the "Ming Pao": The victory was not easy to come by, and now the first thing is to support the side. Grain and grass, military salaries, and reclamation...... Everything is talking about looking forward to the future, but it is more obvious that it is the people who are knocking on the rich places in the south of the Yangtze River.

Your Majesty's triumph is inevitable, and it is a big deal not to continue to fight at the beginning of spring next year. With such a majestic return to the court, there is no need to talk about Nanjing's national capital. Run Hetao, Xuanda and Daning well, and Beijing will be as stable as Mount Tai!

The literati and writers mobilized by Lin Xiyuan and Wang Shenzhong recounted in the Ming Pao the beautiful scenery of the Jiangnan in the past: Zhou Xuanzheng broke the Chen general Wu Mingche in the first year and moved him to Lingzhou. The people on the left side of the river are courteous and studious, and the customs are phased, because it is called "Saibei Jiangnan". In the Tang Dynasty, Wei Chan had the poem "Lingwu of Lu Pan Shangshu": The orchard under Helan Mountain is completed, and the north and south of the Yangtze River are famous.

Once, there was a time when agriculture was developed, fertile fields were thousands of hectares, and boats were forested.

Now the Sanggan River reservoir has been completed, and the Huaihua waterway leads directly to Datong. The south of Yinshan Mountain is all returned to the Ming Dynasty, and the road is passed, and there will be endless opportunities for the Hetao in the future.

Needless to say, in the Forbidden City, Zhu Zaiqian asked Sun Ming: "Queen Mother, Hetao has won a great victory, will my father drive back to Beijing directly and celebrate the New Year with his subjects?" ”

Sun Ming smiled reluctantly: "I said that I went to spend the winter with the soldiers, how could I easily return to the court?" ”

"How cold is it right now?"

“…… It must have been much colder. Even if it is an expedition, it is inconvenient to ......"

She didn't continue, it was nothing more than Zhu Houxi himself saying that she couldn't take someone to sleep on the expedition.

Of course, the emperor will not be frozen, but Sun Ming has already heard the rumors. After capturing so many tribes, Zhen Anbo said at that time that they could follow the example of the three tribes of Duoyan, surrender and sacrifice their daughters.

When His Majesty returns to the court in triumph, there will probably be more newcomers in the palace.

At this time, the good news has not yet reached Kaiping.

Zhu Houxi didn't think about anything to vent the fire, it was cold and snowy, and there wasn't too much fire.

Besides, it's not that no one serves him, in Taiyuan, after all, there are still two girls who made him look at him and brought them all the way.

didn't come out with any harem concubines with great fanfare, so it would be okay on the surface.

But as an emperor, should you really hold back for a year? Now it seems that at the beginning of Shanxi, the two guys of Governor He Jin and Zhu Qi looked at him Zhu Houxi very accurately.

One is the daughter of Xinzhou Tongju, named Mu Wan. One is a side branch of the Jin Shang Wang's family, called Wang Qingyin.

It's night, and one of them sits quietly waiting to say hello, and the other warms the bed.

And Zhu Houxi is still reading.

There is no entertainment, and in the past few days in Kaiping, Zhu Houxi didn't think of any good way to easily find out the tartars on the grassland in the future.

He was looking at the records of Zhu Di's five northern expeditions. The last three times, basically, spent the main time looking for people, and in general, it can be said that they returned in vain.

As long as the Ming army is strong and people avoid the decisive battle, they can always run away.

That's hard.

"Your Majesty...... It's late at night......"

It was Huang Jin, Mu Wan and Wang Qingyin who came to remind them loudly, and they didn't dare to speak without permission.

His Majesty brought them here, but he was not particularly fond of them, and he sought pleasure a lot, but seemed to be accustomed to letting them serve, and asked for much.

Zhu Houxi put down the book, and Mu Wan hurriedly picked up the hot towel next to him and wiped the emperor's eyes and forehead.

"Is there any news from the Loop?"

"Nope. Your Majesty doesn't need to worry, it's already a siege now, Jingbianbo, Zhen'anbo, and Funinghou are all here, and there is nothing wrong. ”

Zhu Houxi sighed: "After all, it's tens of thousands of people, fighting against the water, and fighting for trapped beasts." ”

The general trend is a winning trend, but who can be 100% sure?

He didn't know the latest results, but he was thinking about the future: "Even if we can't do it all this time, the news of the Hetao will definitely reach the north." If I answer, I will avoid war next spring. In the future, north of Kaiping, it will be an old story again. Yan Chunsheng is indeed brave, but there are only so many people in the special operations camp. If Da Ming did not have another Huo Qubing and another more elite and more numerous cavalry, it would be difficult to do. ”

"Then let Zhen Anbo practice, I see that Zhen Anbo is no worse than the champion Hou!"

"Nonsense...... It's still much easier for cats to catch mice, and mice are in that area. Zhu Houxi was not so optimistic, "But if I became a gopher and hid everywhere in the boundless grassland, it would be a waste of troops and energy." ”

After all, it has not yet developed to the era of mechanization, and if you want to ensure mobility and combat power on the grassland at the same time, you can only rely on elite cavalry.

And the Ming Dynasty has been guarding the border wall for many years, and the cultivation of war horses and elite cavalry will take a long time.

After the great victory of Fengzhou Beach came, Zhu Houxi had joys and worries.

It is naturally a great joy to have a great victory, but Yan Chunsheng is so fierce that he wins so quickly and so simply, and the news reaches the north, I am afraid that I will be more cautious.

In the spring of the next year, I am afraid that the war will not be completed.

This is Zhu Houxi's worry. Forcibly marching north to seek the enemy, Yang Shen was so anxious that his head was sweating. If you don't go out and defeat me, the captivity will still exist.

If it's great, you Zhu Houxi will be boiled to death, can your son and grandson be so strong? Once a hundred years have passed, it is just a comeback, and this is not the case more than once in history.

So Zhu Houxi was worried.

A day later, the real victory of the Hetao came again, and the cheers of the Northern Expedition camp shook the sky, and Zhu Houxi was even more sad after being overjoyed.

There is such a big credit over there, the Northern Expedition army can't do it without a fight, and the soldiers' eyes are red.

Tang Shunzhi wants to kill and surrender after the war to find something unclean for himself, what kind of great contribution does Yan Chunsheng want to make? Does anyone else will?

But the trap is not so exaggerated, and I will not fight when the morale of the Ming Dynasty is at its highest.

It's just a waste of money and food.

From this moment to the Spring Festival, the camp of the Northern Expedition is not only celebrating the New Year, but also waiting for the warm spring snow to melt.

Zhu Houxi could only pin his hopes on the person who asked Yan Chunsheng to come over on Tang Shunzhi's side: The old department that wants to wear a crime to help the war should be able to serve as a qualified leading party in Mobei, right?

In the bitter cold land of Mobei, Ma Fang, who had been traveling for a winter, received a new task as a newly sealed hundred-hundred: to lead a team of 100 people of the attached Khalkha tribe, responsible for detecting and guarding the movements in the southwest direction of the sweat tent.

He's thinking: Is this an opportunity?
