The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 842 Daihai Great Victory (seeking subscription for monthly ticket)
It can be seen how important the strategic fulcrum of Lake Baikal is.

Ivanovich couldn't imagine how furious the Tsar would be once he lost Lake Baikal...

Ivanovic has begun to regret a little, he shouldn't be involved in this war between the Ming people and the Mongols!
If possible, he hopes that he is still drinking vodka and eating bacon in comfort in the city of Irkutsk, instead of waiting for death on the battlefield.

However, there is no regret medicine in this world.

Everything on the battlefield will not be shifted because of Ivanovic's will.

The battle is still going on!
The cavalry of the Ming army roared over, but they had no intention of confronting the Mongols!

Although the Mongols are light cavalry, everyone in the Ming army wears armor. Even if there is generally no vest, they can be regarded as half heavy cavalry.

But these Ming troops still have no plans to confront the Mongols!

As the distance between the two sides continued to increase, just when the two sides were about to contact, the cavalry of the Ming army suddenly turned their horses and flanked the enemy.

In the next moment, the sound of musket guns and the explosion of bowstrings continued.

Projectiles flew horizontally, and dense arrows fell like rain.

After a wave of cavalry shots covering the attack, countless people in the Mongolian army fell off their horses and died tragically.

Screams, howls, endless!

Many people were bursting out with clusters of blood flowers.

At the same time, the Mongols were fighting back.

The bowstring trembled!
Arrows rained densely.

But the killing effect is better than nothing.

It was impossible to cause too much damage to the armored Ming army at all.

At most, it is to shoot the war horse and make the war horse suffer.

On the contrary, the muskets in the hands of those Cossacks, if caught, could cause a lot of damage to the Ming army.

Accompanied by bursts of deafening shouts of killing, the cavalry on both sides quickly staggered past.

Leave a corpse on the battlefield.

Blood seems to be covering the entire earth!
But inside, most of them are the corpses of Mongolians.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides staggered past, and then turned their horses' heads, preparing for the second round of riding and archery confrontation.

After the second hedge, blood and gunpowder filled the battlefield.

The smell of blood is soaring!

Groups of elite cavalry from the Ming army, like robots who are tireless and fearless of life and death, are doing tactical actions in an orderly manner on the battlefield where the horses are galloping and the blood is rushing.

The situation on the battlefield became more and more clear. Under the deliberate control of the Ming army, the Mongolian cavalry was constantly squeezed into the living space.

They were constantly driven away towards the preset battlefield of the Ming army.

"kill!"

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

"..."

On the battlefield where tens of thousands of horses galloped and tens of thousands of people confronted each other, the untrained Mongolian army was almost unilaterally suppressed and beaten.

The initiative on the battlefield was completely controlled by the Ming army, and the specific situation on the battlefield was completely a fog to them.

These Mongolian soldiers looked at the enemies in all directions, and they were all at a loss.

However, the Ming army was constantly changing its deployment according to the battlefield situation through the banners and drum orders, as well as the hot air balloons floating in the sky.

Methodically surrounded and killed the Mongolian army on the battlefield!

Eridimu looked at the chaos on the battlefield and saw his own cavalry being strangled by the Ming army, his heart was full of despair.

But the current situation on the battlefield is beyond his control.

He kept trying to order to adjust the deployment of the army to meet the enemy, but as soon as his messengers left the central army, they could not be found in the blink of an eye.

On a chaotic battlefield, orderlies are too prone to accidents.

For Eridimu, the whole battlefield was completely blacked out.

The current Eridimu can only follow the trend, being driven to the preset battlefield by the cavalry of the Ming army.

Ivanovic on the side also had a look of fear.

The scale of such a war is really beyond his imagination.

Hundreds of thousands of horseshoes trampled on the ground, as if the world was trembling with fear.

This sense of bewilderment in the middle of the formation can really break people down.

Suddenly, Ivanovic seemed to have seen something, grabbed the reins of Erzhidemu, and said.

"Big... profuse sweat, it won't work if it goes on like this!"

"If we continue to be led by the nose like this, we will definitely lose the battle."

Erzhi Demu turned his head to look at Ivanovic, and asked with a little expectation in his voice.

"General... can the general teach me?"

Ivanovic nodded, then pointed his finger at the location of the Ming army's middle army, and said.

"We are indeed no match for the Ming army's cavalry now, and we are even being led by the nose."

"But the central army of the Ming people is there, and the emperor of the Ming people is there."

"As long as we can break through the Ming people's central army and capture the Ming people's emperor, then this battle will have a turning point."

When Eridemu heard this, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

But then he made up his mind and gritted his teeth.

"It makes sense!"

"Order the whole army to directly attack the middle army of the Ming army for Ben Khan."

The reason why Eridimu was so decisive was because he really had no other choice.

Following Eridimu's order, his personal guards began to kill in the direction of the Ming army's middle army.

The rest of the soldiers and horses in the Mongolian army saw the movement of the Great Khan Eridimu. Although they failed to receive the orders from the messengers, they understood Eridimu's purpose.

Without much hesitation, they all followed Eridimu and killed him.

"Kill!"

"Capture and kill the Emperor of Ming!"

"Long live Great Mongolia! Revive the glory of Mongolia!"

"..."

After having a clear goal, the Mongolian army is no longer at a loss.

They simply gave up the duel of riding and shooting, but covered their heads and headed towards the middle army of the Ming army.

……

"The enemy army is coming, please take shelter temporarily, Your Majesty!"

Seeing the Mongolian cavalry roaring towards them, Lu Sheng, the commander of the First Division of the Imperial Guard beside Zhu Hongyu, spoke.

When Zhu Hongyu heard this, he just waved his hand and said.

"It's okay!"

"I can't retreat!"

"I am the Chinese army, and my banner is the banner of our army. If I retreat, what should I do with the soldiers fighting on the front lines?"

"Pass down the order and send the reserve team to attack and slow down the Mongolian cavalry's charge."

"Then let the imperial guards form a round formation up and down, ready to resist the cavalry attack."

Zhu Hongyu's face remained unchanged, and he arranged in an orderly manner.

He knew that in such a large-scale battle, as the coach, it was best not to move.

Even if you want to move, you can only move forward, so as to boost the morale of the army.

Otherwise, any of his actions may cause the army to collapse.

And the reason why he made the army form a circular formation was because, in Zhu Hongyu's view, the circular formation was the best formation to resist the impact of the enemy's cavalry.

Once formed into a circular array, the entire array will have no weaknesses when viewed from that direction.

Let the enemy have nothing to take advantage of!
When Wei Huo went out to the north to attack the Huns, in order to guard against the impact of the Huns cavalry, they used a combination of circular formations and chariot formations.

Although the hollow phalanx is said to be miraculous, it seems that using the hollow phalanx to deal with cavalry is handy.

But it's just an illusion!

At best, the hollow phalanx is to deal with light cavalry who only dare to ride and shoot, but dare not charge.

The large hollow phalanx composed of countless small hollow phalanxes does have a miraculous effect on cavalry and archery cavalry. As long as the enemy enters the formation, they will face the projection of firepower from all directions, and they will definitely suffer a big loss.

Once the cavalry fainted in the hollow phalanx, it is not impossible to be surrounded and wiped out.

But if you are facing a group of cavalry preparing to charge, even if it is only light cavalry, then setting up a hollow square is courting death.

A hollow phalanx with no depth at all is easily dispersed by a wave of cavalry.

Due to the gap between the arrays, the lack of timely reinforcements between each other, and the inability to delay the horse speed of the cavalry's impact, are the biggest problems.

Once there were more small phalanxes scattered by the cavalry, and the cavalry charged with the rout, the so-called hollow phalanx was no different from rubbish that could collapse at the touch of a finger.

Of course, the reason why the hollow phalanx appeared on the European battlefield is also determined by the times.

In the era when the hollow phalanx was popular, the European battlefield was the time when artillery began to emerge.

Face the threat of artillery.

Even if someone knows that the anti-cavalry must be a dense array with a certain depth, no one dares to put out a dense array with sufficient depth on the battlefield.

Otherwise, even the elite troops would not be able to withstand the depth of dozens of people killed in one shot.

To be honest, the hollow phalanx is actually more like a no-brainer.

After all, on the European battlefield of that era, the threat of shelling was much greater than that of cavalry.

After a compromise, the hollow phalanx naturally became popular.

However, if the enemy does not have enough artillery power, a dense circular array with sufficient depth must be the best choice if you want to resist the cavalry charging.

There are no obvious weaknesses in all directions, and there is still a certain depth, there is no one more suitable than him.

The Ming army quickly completed the change of formation, and the infantry in charge of guarding Yujia formed a circular formation to protect Yujia in the center.

The muzzles of the black rear-loading rifles pointed outwards, pointing directly at the direction where the enemy cavalry appeared in front of them.

The barrel machine gun chariots were also pushed to the front line, ready to pull the trigger at any time.

The array of circular array and car array was quickly formed.

At the same time, the reserve team of the Ming army also galloped out.

They lined up on two wings of the large formation, accompanied by a burst of desolate horns, like the outstretched arms of two giants, swooping towards the enemy in front of them.

Prepare to use a pincer offensive to attack the flanks of the Mongolian army and reduce the pressure on the central army of one's own side.

At the moment when the two sides collided, the cavalry of the Ming army poured into the formation of the Mongolian army without hindrance.

Like hot knives cutting butter, in the blink of an eye they split the Mongolian army charging towards the middle army of the Ming army into two halves...

At this time, the Ming army on the main battlefield also received a military order and began to prepare to return to defense to prevent the Mongolian army from attacking its own central army.

The Ming army continued to rush forward, cooperating with its own reserve team to storm the Mongolian army's flanks and cut off the Mongolian army's formation.

A large number of Mongolian troops were strangled on the battlefield.

The rest of the Mongolian army, except for a part of the troops rushing to the front, about 6000 people, the speed of the rest of them was forced to slow down again under the offensive of the Ming army.

Fell into the embarrassing situation of being led by the nose by the cavalry of the Ming army.

Seeing that his side was blocked, Eridimu looked at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer to the Ming army's central army. He could only hope that Yu's 6000 men could make a contribution in one fell swoop.

He didn't even dare to expect those 6000 or [-] people to break through the Ming army's central army and capture and kill the Ming emperor. He only hoped that they could shake the formation of the Ming army's central army and win a chance for his side to breathe a sigh of relief.

Eridimu could realize that if they were besieged and killed by the Ming army like this, they would really collapse.

……

Facing the charge of five or six thousand horsemen of the Mongolian army, it was impossible for the imperial guards to say that they did not panic at all.

The fear of death is the instinct of all living things.

A war horse weighs at least four to five hundred catties, plus the cavalry on horseback, it weighs six to seven hundred catties.

This is because the Mongolian cavalry are all light cavalry, not heavy cavalry, otherwise the weight will only be exaggerated.

Such a behemoth with a speed of [-] to [-] kilometers and a weight of [-] to [-] jins is rushing forward. Who can not be afraid?
But when the imperial guards turned their heads up and down and saw the big flag belonging to the emperor behind them, almost everyone was determined.

The emperor is right behind them!

The Emperor, to whom they swore allegiance, was right behind them.

In this world, there are always things that are more important than life and death.

These Mongolian Tartars want to hurt the emperor unless they are all dead.

Accompanied by the sound of hooves getting closer and closer, the imperial guards shouted in unison.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

There was a deafening sound of victory, and the morale of the imperial guards was boiling.

Seeing the Mongolian cavalry getting closer, countless people shouted loudly.

"For Daming, for Your Majesty! Kill the prisoners!"

"..."

When the enemy cavalry entered within 200 meters, the grassroots officer issued an order.

"Everyone has it!"

"Free fire after three salvos, fire!"

In the next moment, accompanied by a burst of crackling sounds, it seemed that only the sound of muskets firing remained in the entire world.

The bursts of gunfire were extremely dense!

Amidst the smoke, countless projectiles shot towards the enemy cavalry in front of them.

The projectiles flew and raged in the crowd. Wherever they passed, many Mongolian soldiers fell to the ground with their men and horses, and their blood was spilled, turning them into corpses.

However, this is not the most surprising.

The next moment, the rotary machine gun also began to pour firepower.

Unlike the snap of a rifle, the rattling of a machine gun is more memorable.

As the barrel rotates, the chain of bullets is continuously consumed.

A round of projectiles was as dense as a splashing rain, shooting towards the enemy in front of him.

The gunpowder smoke quickly obscured the sight of the Imperial Guards up and down.

Many people are mechanically doing the loading and then firing actions.

And the reason for not aiming at...

Laughing to death, that's because there is no way to aim on the battlefield filled with gunpowder.

If you want to kill the enemy, you can only kill with intensive firepower.

And those rotary machine guns just kept pulling the trigger, shooting towards the gunpowder in front of them.

At the same time, the artillery equipped by some Janissaries was also firing.

One after another, the bombs fell into the enemy's formation continuously. While the black smoke was billowing, the fragments raged and caused great damage to the enemy.

Rumbling explosions sounded continuously!
As for whether it will hit the enemy or not, no one knows.

Howling and hissing sounded continuously in the gunpowder smoke.

Zhu Hongyu was also looking at a battlefield filled with gunpowder, unable to see the situation on the battlefield clearly.

It wasn't until the hot air balloon in the sky sent the news that the fire could be ceased that the Guards stopped firing.

At the same time, a gust of wind blew away the gunpowder smoke that filled the battlefield.

The situation on the battlefield can finally be seen clearly.

Zhu Hongyu couldn't wait to pick up the binoculars at hand and look at the battlefield.

Then he saw a scene that he will never forget.

The vast battlefield was filled with corpses in various shapes.

The figure is distorted and blood is filled.

Wounded horses fell on the battlefield, struggling from time to time, and neighing in pain rhythmically.

More wounded were lying on the ground, clutching their wounds, howling.

Broken arms and legs can be seen everywhere...

The thousands of Mongolian cavalry who came to attack his central army, except for a small number of troops behind, escaped from the battlefield when they saw the situation.

Almost all the rest are here!
Looking at the bloody scene on the battlefield, Qiqige couldn't help but widen her eyes.

Where has she seen such a scene?

Covering his mouth consciously, he almost spat out.

Eridimu looked at the scene on the battlefield, and his body trembled slightly visible to the naked eye, and the expression of fear on his face could hardly be concealed.

On the other hand, Ivanovic's forehead was also dripping with cold sweat.

Looking at the power of the Ming army's weapons on the battlefield, he finally knew how Yaksa and Nerchinsk lost them.

In his inherent impression, the Easterners should still be fighting with spears, bows and arrows.

But reality gave him a slap in the face.

Spear bow and arrow?

The weapons of the Ming army have something to do with spears, bows and arrows.

……

A general next to Eridimu took his rein and said.

"Great Khan, our army has been defeated in this battle, and we must preserve our strength."

"You give the order to retreat!"

Another general also spoke.

"That's right, Great Khan, even if you don't retreat immediately, you have to make plans to retreat to the camp."

"If we continue to fight the Ming army, I won't be able to hold on."

"..."

A group of people rushed to persuade.

The expression on Eridemu's face was also constantly changing.

Finally, he ordered.

"retreat!"

"Send the order down, retreat, go back to the camp first and then discuss."

Eridimu was also afraid that his withdrawal would turn into a complete defeat.

Then he was hunted down by the Ming army!

To be on the safe side, he could only order to withdraw to the camp first, and was slowly thinking about the retreat.

As the military order was issued, Eridimu wanted to bring people back to the camp.

However, there is no such thing as easy.

Accompanied by the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the cavalry of the Ming army continued to surround and kill the Mongolian army.

And relying on his own superior force, he drove the Mongolian army to the preset battlefield.

The general measure is that if the Mongolian army obeys and follows the route planned by the Ming army, the Ming army will just attack by riding and shooting, putting pressure on the Mongolian army.

But if the Mongolian army is disobedient, they want to change their course.

The Ming army would use cavalry to rush into the formation and add grenades to wash the ground to help him correct his route.

This time Eridimu wanted to withdraw to the camp, the Ming army would naturally not agree.

After three successive assaults, plus grenade-throwing bombardment, the Mongolian army's offset route was corrected.

In desperation, these Mongolian troops could only be driven by the Ming army to the preset battlefield.

Eridemu's face was full of despair, and now he sincerely felt that he was a sinner of Mongolia.

If it weren't for his arrogance to take the initiative to lead people south to fight against Daming, where would the current thing happen? !

The Northern Expedition of the Ming Army is the Northern Expedition!

At worst, they will be on the grassland, playing hide-and-seek with the Ming army!

Why go south and take the initiative to seek death?

"kill!"

"Kill the prisoner!"

"Da Ming Wansheng!"

"..."

On the battlefield, there was endless shouting.

Gradually, the Mongolian army was driven to the preset battlefield.

Under the gallop of thousands of horses, the surface of the lake not far away seemed to have ripples.

In the next instant, gunshots sounded as dense as fried beans.

Da da!Da da da!

There was a burst of musket fire.

Those Mongolian troops who were driven into the preset battlefield fell to the ground in an instant like harvesting wheat.

Rows and rows fell under the guns of the Ming army!
Those Mongolian soldiers realized something was wrong, turned around and wanted to escape, and withdrew from the preset battlefield.

However, what greeted them was also the muzzle of the black hole.

And a rattling sound like a devil roaring!
Zhu Hongyu ordered to mobilize the revolving machine guns in his central army to block the gap to prevent the Mongolian army from rushing out of the preset battlefield.

At the same time, the field artillery of the Ming army also opened fire.

One after another shells were continuously falling among the dense crowd.

The fragments produced by the shell explosion recklessly harvested life.

Da da!Da da da!

Bursts of gunshots rang out continuously, and gunpowder smoke soon covered the entire preset battlefield.

Screams, wailing sounds, one after another.

The living space of the Mongolian army is constantly being squeezed.

Boom!Boom!
Some field artillery was changed from solid rounds to shotgun rounds.

The sound of shelling became more and more dull.

Shotguns flew through the crowd, shredding the bodies of countless people.

Blood spurted, and screams continued.

Zhu Hongyu looked at the scene on the battlefield and heard the faint screams, his eyelids drooped, his face expressionless.

Obviously, he is not a soft-hearted person.

The miserable scene on the battlefield did not move him.

If he wanted the grassland to surrender, he would inevitably have to kill.

Killing is the first step of conquest!
Only when the enemy is terrified and subdued, can one perform mercy...

Otherwise, it is not a favor, but a cession of land and compensation...

The battle situation is still evolving. As time goes by, the sun sinks to the west, but the sound of guns on the battlefield continues.

After a day's battle, more than [-] Mongolian cavalrymen, except a few escaped from the battlefield, and most of the rest were killed or injured.

The rest of the people were also surrounded in the center of the battlefield, and all they could do other than surrender was to be slaughtered...

……

With a tangled expression on her face, Qiqige came to Zhu Hongyu's side and said.

"Your Majesty, it is enough to fight the war to such an extent."

"Please order the concubine to persuade you to surrender!"

"The concubine must have persuaded the surrounded Mongols to wake up and offer captives to surrender."

When Zhu Hongyu heard the words, he didn't refuse, but just spoke.

"It's okay to persuade you to surrender, but not now!"

"It's getting dark now, it's really not a good time to persuade you to surrender, let's wait for dawn tomorrow!"

"Don't worry, I am not a bloodthirsty person, the front line has already ordered a ceasefire."

"If these Mongols can be allowed to surrender, I don't want to commit more crimes."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hongyu motioned for someone to take Qiqige down to rest.

The reason why Qiqige was not allowed to persuade them to surrender at night was because the sight line was not good at night. Even if the other side surrendered, it would be more troublesome for the Ming army to accept the prisoners.

It's better to stay up all night, and then stay up with the spirits of those Mongolian soldiers, and wait until dawn to talk about persuading them to surrender.

Anyway, people are there, and they can't escape.

Zhu Hongyu was naturally not in a hurry.

Zhu Hongyu let out a breath of foul air slowly, and spoke to the messenger beside him.

"Pass down the order, and tonight the soldiers will cheer up to prevent the Mongols from attacking and breaking through the siege at night."

"Let those soldiers who can speak Mongolian go to the front and sing Mongolian songs, and we will also give these Mongolians a hand to besiege!"

When the messenger heard the words, he clasped his fists in agreement, and then went to convey Zhu Hongyu's order.

Not long after, Mongolian songs sounded on the vast battlefield.

It's also the kind of melody that is more sad.

Many soldiers in the Ming army were Mongols who belonged to Daming, and Daming did not hesitate to use foreign soldiers.

Therefore, it is not difficult for Zhu Hongyu to find some people who can sing Mongolian songs.

Surrounded by groups of Mongolians, listening to the singing of the Ming army, many people could not help crying.

A lot of people are talking about their families, they want to go home.

However, the Rakshasa people under Ivanovic didn't respond to this.

Because they can't hear what the other side is singing, naturally they can't feel empathy.

Although these Rakshasa people suffered a lot during the day, but they were born with thick nerves, but none of them accepted their fate.

Instead, he was sharpening his knife while feeding and grooming his war horse, preparing to break out of the encirclement.

Ivanovic is no longer going to Eridimu's side now, he has completely lost hope in these Mongols.

He clearly realized that in the future, if he wants to survive, the only ones he can rely on are themselves...

"Where's Anthony? Where's Anthony?"

"Has anyone seen Anthony?"

Ivanovic shuttled through the crowd and asked.

In the daytime battle, many people had already been dispersed. Ivanovic wanted to find someone to discuss what to do next, and he needed to find someone everywhere by himself.

However, Ivanovic asked around, but he couldn't get the answer he wanted.

Many people were shaking their heads, expressing that they did not know where Anthony had gone.

Just when Ivanovic was a little disappointed, a Cossack spoke in a very sad tone.

"General, Chief Anthony has died in battle."

"I saw with my own eyes that he was hit by a Ming man's shot and smashed into a sieve."

Ivanovic sighed heavily upon hearing this.

"May God bless poor Anthony to go to heaven!"

There was a loss visible to the naked eye on his face, but it was not so unacceptable.

He just asked around and failed to get a result, so he already had the answer in his heart.

Now it's just confirmed news!

At the same time, Eridimu was also convening generals to discuss matters, and then he discovered to his horror that his own casualties were really too heavy.

After a day of fierce fighting, at least half of the grassroots officers of the Mongolian army were gone.

Because when the cavalry of the Ming army killed the enemy, they mostly stared at the officers of the Mongolian army.

Under the casualties of a large number of officers, countless grassroots troops of the Mongolian army were dismantled and turned into complete wandering soldiers.

These stragglers gathered together in twos and threes, with a look of hesitation and fear.

There is no need to say much about Eridemu's current despair. Listening to the Mongolian songs sung by the Ming army outside the encirclement, Eridemu couldn't help but want to scold his mother.

"Besieged on all sides, the Ming army is besieged on all sides!"

A well-informed Mongolian nobleman said.

He realized very clearly that he and others were Xiang Yu who was trapped in Gaixia...

……

That night, both Ivanovic and Eridimu organized a breakout by coincidence.

Then they were beaten back by the vigilant Ming army!
The sound of machine guns and artillery rang for another half an hour before it stopped.

The Mongolian army was in despair.

In the middle of the night, the temperature dropped below zero, and gusts of cold wind mixed with the water vapor in Daihai Lake blew, making people tremble involuntarily.

The Ming army couldn't help it, and lit a bonfire to keep warm.

On the other hand, the Mongolian army could only suffer in the dark and cold because they did not dare to light a fire.

Because they only need a little bonfire to expose their vision, and the shelling of the Ming army followed closely behind.

No one wants to be bombarded, so they can only endure it.

The temperature in the grassland in early spring is very low at night, which is quite difficult.

Qiqige couldn't sleep, she was wearing a thick fur cloak, she stood outside the tent of the Chinese army, looking towards the direction of the encirclement.

Zhu Hongyu slept until midnight, woke up in a daze, felt that no one was around, and got up with his clothes on.

When he walked outside the big tent, he saw Qiqige standing at the door of the big tent looking into the distance.

The starry sky above the head is bright, and the starlight and the cold moonlight are splashed on the earth together, and the scenery is beautiful.

Especially the Daihai Lake not far away, the surface of the lake reflects the starlight, which is as beautiful as the Milky Way.

"It's cold, come back and rest!"

Zhu Hongyu's gentle, deep voice sounded behind Qiqige.

Qiqige shuddered subconsciously, but she still turned her head and said.

"Your Majesty, my concubine can't sleep!"

Zhu Hongyu coughed lightly, and then said in a slightly serious tone.

"Come back and rest with peace of mind, and I will allow you to persuade you to surrender when the sun rises!"

"But it must not be done now!"

Qiqige murmured a bit, but followed Zhu Hongyu obediently back to the big tent.

Zhu Hongyu usually has no temper and is easy to speak.

Even Qiqige lost his temper with him, Zhu Hongyu didn't care.

It's just a little fun between husband and wife.

But when he continued to talk about something seriously, Qiqige was also very obedient and obedient.

She's just pretty and bold, not stupid.

The emperor really doted on her, but she couldn't rely on the emperor's favor to ignore the emperor.

In this era, the supremacy of imperial power cannot be challenged.

……

At dawn the next day, Qiqige led people to persuade the Mongolian army who had been surrounded all night to surrender.

When Qiqige led people to appear on the front line and shouted to surrender and not to kill.

Those Mongolian soldiers who had been surrounded by the Ming army all night and had no hope of breaking through, dropped their weapons one after another, knelt on the ground, and offered their loyalty to the Jin family logically.

No one is ashamed!
Qiqige continued to lead people to pass in front of his formation, and where he passed, a number of Mongolians fell down like wind blowing wheat waves.

Among the crowd, there were still some Raksha people who wanted to fight to the death to see if they could take Qiqige, so as to blackmail Daming and let them live.

However, just as these people were about to make a move, they were held down by the surrounding Mongols.

You have a lot of fucking ideas!
With so many Mongols around, you still want to hurt the members of the Golden Family in front of them?

is it possible?

Do you really think that these Mongols don't want to lose face?
These Mongols still hoped that after they surrendered, Qiqige could intercede for them with the Ming Emperor and let the Emperor spare them for their lives.

They will not allow these Rakshasa people to hurt her!

When Qiqige saw that a Rakshasa wanted to attack her, she was really flustered at first.

But after seeing the Mongols around them swarming up and taking those Rakshasa people down, she felt relieved.

Knowing the identity of the golden family is still taken seriously by many people.

She then continued to swagger and gallop past the front of the formation, asking to surrender.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Hongyu knew that he was right to bring Qiqige this time.

A smile appeared on his face, and he arranged in an orderly manner.

"Order the soldiers to gather the prisoners and surrender!"

"Send someone to clean up the battlefield and count the casualties and gains of our army."

……

The surrender lasted for a long time, and it wasn't until it got dark again that the Ming army counted the specific surrender figures.

At the same time, the battlefield was almost cleaned out, and the specific casualties and battle results were sent to Zhu Hongyu's desk.

Zhu Hongyu opened the report and read it.

The first is the results of the battle of the Ming army. There are about [-] enemy corpses found on the battlefield.

The reason why it is more than detailed data is because there are many corpses with broken limbs and broken arms, which cannot be assembled into a complete one.

Most of these corpses were Mongols, among whom the yellow-haired and green-eyed Rakshasa were only in their early three thousand years.

In addition, it was the prisoners of war captured by the Ming army in this battle.

There are almost 220 five people in total.

Among them, there were 420 Raksha prisoners of war and [-] Mongols.

In this battle, the Ming army killed and killed more than 12 of the enemy's vital forces.

Compared with the specific figures of the Mongolian army before the war, there are still some that do not match.

The part that didn't match should have escaped from the battlefield while taking advantage of the chaos.

The battlefield is too chaotic, and yesterday was also fighting until night, and the enemy is mostly cavalry, the main force can't escape, but it is really normal for scattered enemy troops to escape.

Zhu Hongyu's attention was always on the main force of the surrounded Mongolian army, so he did not order the army to chase down the defeated soldiers.

It was also escaped by a part of the rout!

However, this is also just right, Zhu Hongyu just used the mouths of these defeated soldiers to promote the strength and might of the Ming army.

It will be more convenient for Ming Dynasty to implement effective rule over the grassland in the future.

Of course, most of these rout soldiers had been beaten to the point of fear, and the loss of threat was also an important reason why Zhu Hongyu didn't deliberately arrest them.

However, in any case, this battle of the Ming army can definitely be regarded as a great result.

In fact, this Daihai victory can be said to be the biggest victory that Ming has achieved against the Mongols since Yongle.

Based on the current weakness of the grassland, it is not an exaggeration to say that the grassland will be leveled after this battle.

At the very least, after this battle, as long as Zhu Hongyu is still in power, even if Daming allows the development of the Mongolian ministries instead of taking advantage of the victory to control the grassland.

The Mongolian ministries also decided that no one would dare to look south again!

However, the number of casualties of the Ming army in this battle was only a few 210.

Moreover, non-combat attrition accounted for at least half of it...

It is even more clear that among the total number of casualties, the number of war dead is far less than that of wounded.

This is the terrifying casualty ratio that can be played when there is a difference in weapons generation.

On the one hand, Zhu Hongyu ordered to report the victory to the pass, and on the other hand, he ordered to reward the whole army.

Amidst the cheers of all the troops, Zhu Hongyu also personally wore the battle armor, and took Qiqige to inspect the prisoner-of-war camp.

Amidst the bowing of all the prisoners of war, Zhu Hongyu spoke.

"Since you have come to your senses and surrendered, then I will be magnanimous once again and forgive you the death crime of resisting the master."

"But the death penalty can be avoided, and the life penalty cannot be escaped, so you should obediently go to labor camp!"

"When the labor reform is over, they can go home individually!"

Although these people surrendered, they were defeated and surrendered.

After all, he resisted, and it was impossible for Zhu Hongyu to release him directly.

In addition, there is a shortage of labor force everywhere in the imperial court, so it is just right to arrange them to go to reform through labor to redeem their sins.

After the labor reform is over, these people will probably be trained to become obedient citizens of the Ming Dynasty.

It's best to let them go when the time comes!

After resting on the spot for a period of time and receiving a batch of supplies, Zhu Hongyu made a plan for the next step of the Northern Expedition.

According to the plan, he will personally lead the main force of the Ming army and continue to march north, with the goal of Guihua City.

After regaining Guihua City, he will lead his troops to continue north until Hara and Lin.

Zhu Hongyu wants to worship the ancestors of God and Daming in Hara and Lin Fengchan, and tell them that the grassland was conquered by him, Zhu Hongyu.

The ancestors can be happy on it...

Here, focus on @大明战神.

The remaining soldiers and horses were divided into several groups and marched in different directions, preparing to sweep across the Mongolian tribes in the south and north of the desert according to the map.

Now there is no military force on the grassland that can threaten the Ming army, and there is no danger in dividing the troops.

Of course, the main reason is that from now on, the purpose of the Northern Expedition is no longer to fight and kill people, but to deter and conquer

No more big corps gatherings!
Zhu Hongyu is going to let the chiefs of all the tribes in Monan and Mobei go to Hara and Lin to witness Zhu Hongyu's Fengchan in Hara and Lin.

And let them accept the canonization of the emperor, and take the opportunity to start the Ming Dynasty's governance of the grassland.

Zhu Hongyu has his own ideas about grassland governance.

Grassland governance, the most important thing is Sinicization.

If the Mongols on the grassland can also speak Chinese, write Chinese characters, follow the customs of the Ming Dynasty, and celebrate the festivals of the Ming Dynasty, then the grassland can be truly conquered and become the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Sinicization alone is useless, and other means must be supplemented.

As the so-called economic foundation determines the superstructure, Zhu Hongyu has to start economically if he wants to control the grassland.

The first is to promote the planting of corn, potatoes, and other crops on the grasslands.

And divide the pastoral areas for each tribe, do not allow random cross-border animal husbandry, promote green storage technology and other means...

Let the production and lifestyle of herdsmen on the grassland change from nomadic to fixed grazing.

Only when the herdsmen on the grassland no longer continue to live by water and grass, but settle in a certain place, can the imperial court start to organize households on the grassland.

If someone rebelled, the imperial court was not afraid of not being able to find anyone in the Northern Expedition.

Coupled with Sinicization education, the grassland will naturally calm down after a long time.

In addition, it is to promote the husbandry of cattle and sheep, and establish and develop relevant industrial chains such as wool textiles, beef processing, and dairy product processing on the grasslands.

At the same time, the imperial court had to make some articles on horse politics, stipulating that if someone on the grassland wants to raise horses, they must pay taxes or horses to the imperial court every year.

The tax rate should be set higher!

Let raising horses not only fail to make money, but to lose money.
