Chapter 404: Zhu Gaoxian: It is advisable to chase after the poor with the remaining bravery!
After Zhu Gaoxian stabbed Arutai to death with one shot, the last dozens of remaining Tatar guards immediately went berserk, screaming and screaming and raising their knives to kill him.
However, the crazy counterattack of these people before they died was not taken seriously by Zhu Gaoxian at all.
Behind him, several cavalrymen of the Shenji Battalion rode up and directly killed this group of remnants of the diehards on the spot!
Then another guard dismounted, skillfully drew his waist knife, and cut off the head of Arutai on the ground.
"Heh," Zhu Gaoxian glanced at the Tatar Khan who was staring at him a few times, and shook his head slightly:
"If you want to come to Daming to burn and loot, you really miscalculated......"
He turned his horse and hurried back with his cavalry, and now that the Tatar leader of Arutai had been beheaded, it was time to gather the remnants of the Tatar army.
Even if it is the next wave of killings, those surviving Tatar soldiers are excellent strong laborers, which can be sent to various mines or industrial construction offices to serve as coolies, and will be used until death......
Zhu Gaoxian rode on the white horse and galloped all the way, but his mood was a little high.
He has no good impression of these Tatars, and it will be a disaster to keep these people in the future, so it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to win a big victory and completely vacate the entire steppe for birds!
Although the nomads are adapted to the endless Mobei grassland, can't the Han people in the Central Plains really gain a foothold in the grassland?
In the opinion of Zhu Gaoxian, who has experience in later generations, this kind of thing should not be too simple!
planting trees, fixing sand, diverting water, cultivating fields, etc......
At most, in the past few years, the imperial court has allocated a special amount of money to support it.
With the hard-working, hard-working, and diligent character and ability of the Han people, as long as they have the strong backing of the imperial court, it is simply easy to control the entire Mobei grassland!
Zhu Gaoxian thought of this, and his eyes were condensed again.
In order to accomplish this great thing, it is not enough to defeat the Tatars alone, but to uproot the Tatar country, clean it thoroughly, and then do the same with the Varat in the west.
At that time, the entire north of the Ming Dynasty will be able to completely integrate into the rule of the imperial court, and there will be no more worries about boundless troubles!
And Zhu Gaoxian can also free up his hands to stabilize the situation and rectify the southern part of the Ming Dynasty!
……
After the three battalions defeated the Tatar army, they cleaned up the battlefield until the evening, and they did not completely finish, barely collecting tens of thousands of Tatar prisoners of war.
The remaining remnants of the Tatars, taking advantage of the chaos and night, all began to flee desperately behind.
After Zhu Gaoxian returned, when he learned of this, he called out to several lieutenants who were about to pursue them overnight with the cavalry, and said to them with a smile:
"You don't have to chase it yet."
"The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, these remnants of the defeated army will eventually flee back to the grassland, the five military camps have already sent the right army to guard the city of Gyeongju, let these guys run for a while to consume their strength, and then let's catch turtles in an urn!"
And after Su Wu inspected his own results, he couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and reported to Zhu Gaoxian happily:
"Your Highness, this time we have captured Tatars, as well as war horses, there are too many, haha......"
"Grain and grass materials were thrown all over the ground, those weapons and armor or something, put them away and sent them back to the Ministry of Industry to be recast and rebuilt, how much work was saved!"
Zhu Gaoxian glanced at him:
"Look at your fun, just this little gain."
Su Wu is his confidant, loyal, and his words are full of reverence for Zhu Gaoxian:
"Your Highness! You rode alone into battle and broke the enemy's army, and your subordinates followed you to pick up the leaks, and you were content with so many captures. ”
"If you want me to say, thanks to your strategic planning, Your Highness, you directly scattered the 100,000 Tatar army."
By the way, he also glanced at the head of Arutai hanging high not far away, and his eyes were full of disdain:
"What kind of Tatar Khan is also a guy who doesn't know the number of days, do you think that with an army of 100,000, you can come to our Ming Dynasty to spread wilderness?"
"This time he's obedient! Send him down directly to see that bullshit immortal heaven! ”
Zhu Gaoxian waved his hand, and suddenly remembered something:
"Have you taken care of the captives?"
Su Wu said respectfully:
"All of them were stripped of their armor and tied their hands, and then they were strung together with thick ropes, and they were being guarded right now."
"Your Highness, do you still follow the method of three out of ten soldiers and one out of three generals?"
Zhu Gaoxian put his hands behind his back, pondered for a while before slowly saying:
"This time, the soldiers will draw one out of three, and the generals will be all killed!"
As soon as these words came out, Su Wu was taken aback, this ratio of smashing can be said to be very harsh killing......
You must know that the number of Tatar prisoners captured by the Ming army is now close to 50,000!
If this is carried out according to Zhu Gaoxian's order, it is estimated that of these 50,000 Tatar prisoners, at most, there will only be less than 30,000 left, and almost half of them will be killed!
However, his orders to Zhu Gaoxian have always been completed to the letter, and he did not question it at all, and replied directly:
"Yes!"
Zhu Gaoxian looked up into the distance, his eyes were full of coldness.
Da Ming doesn't need so many Tatar captives, and he doesn't need more Tatars here!
In the future, when the Han people immigrate to the grasslands, the land may not be enough, where can these Tatar remnants be tolerated?
As for the remaining Tatar captives after the slaughter, although they escaped with their lives at the moment, they will soon be sent to the mines and coal mountains all over the Ming Dynasty, as well as various industrial and manufacturing offices to serve as coolies, and then work until they die!
The only fate of these people for the rest of their lives is to put their lives under the strict supervision of the guards to contribute all their strength to the construction of the Ming Dynasty.
"In addition, the order will be sent down, and the Shenji Battalion and the Fengzi Battalion will be repaired overnight today, and the rest of the matters will be arranged for the Fifth Military Battalion to be handled."
"Early tomorrow morning, the whole army will pull out and march north!"
"It's better to chase the poor with the remaining bravery!"
Su Wu had long known Zhu Gaoxian's attitude towards this war, so he responded without hesitation.
But he still asked:
"Your Highness, since the army is going deep into the Mobei grassland, in terms of logistics, grain and grass, do you want me to send more people over?"
Zhu Gaoxian shook his head slightly, and said expressionlessly:
"No need."
"I have asked Shen Qingyu to arrange the people of the Jinyi Guard, those guys who are hiding in the dark and want to make trouble, as long as they dare to jump out, someone will naturally clean them up."
When killing the little Tatar prince, the Ming army captured a few messengers sent by the clans, how could Zhu Gaoxian not prepare in advance?
He's just waiting for the guys to jump out!
