The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 316
As the upstream dam was completed and the river stopped flowing, Huang Degong also completely lost his patience. Instead of doing the useless work of persuading surrender, he directly ordered the chariots to cross the river and charge from the front. Attacking from the lower reaches, even the [-] Han Chinese cavalry were not dispatched, let alone infantry and other arms.

At this time, for the survival of the tribe, Zah had no choice but to lead more than 4 tribesmen to meet and kill them.

Because it is impossible to surrender, according to the conditions offered by the Han people, once they surrender, their Zhasak tribe will never recover, and even be completely wiped out in the end.

And if they can defeat the opponent, even if the clansman is ten to seven or eight today, there will always be a day of turning around in the future, at worst, like Horqin's tribe surrendering to accept its asylum.

However, Minister Zasak lives in Mobei, and his weapons and equipment are a bit inferior to those of Monan Mongolia. In addition, among the [-] ethnic groups, there are uneven men and women, and there is no strategy at all. Facing [-] well-equipped, all Even the young and strong Mongolian cavalry are enough, not to mention there are hundreds of chariots holding back from the front.

The result is self-evident, the battle was decided in just half an hour. After Zah died in battle, Zasak's department completely collapsed and fled in all directions, while the cavalry of Tuxietu and Tumed's troops, Naturally, he chased after him.

In a short period of time, there were only countless corpses and chariots left in the battle area. Only then did Huang Degong order the cavalry battalion to follow the chariots to the opponent's camp, followed by the infantry.

And the upstream dam was also opened a hole, and it didn't take long at all, otherwise, on the flat grassland, it really wouldn't be able to block it any longer.

In the rear camp, there were only more than 2 old and weak members of the Zasak tribe, and countless cattle, sheep and horses. Basically, those who could escape on horseback escaped, and the rest were unable to ride horses.

Huang Degong didn't care about the escaped Zasak people. Without cattle and sheep, without tents, without those living utensils, those people couldn't survive in the wild for a long time. In the end, they either returned to surrender or died outside in the wilderness.

Huang Degong didn't kill those old and weak who were unable to escape, but just locked them up, and then ordered people to clean up the battlefield while counting the spoils and slaughtering cattle and sheep.

Two days later, almost all the chased Mongolian cavalrymen returned, and brought back nearly ten thousand captives, most of whom were women and teenagers. The Wanzasaks either died in pursuit or escaped.

Seeing that there were less than [-] captives, most of whom were children under ten years old and elderly people in their fifties or sixties, Huang Degong was helpless.

In fact, he wanted to catch those young and strong men and women more, but because of his nature, it was too difficult to get these nomadic tribes to put down their weapons and surrender without a fight.

It is typical not to give up until the Yellow River, not to shed tears until the coffin is seen.

Huang Degong did not reward the heads of the Tumed Department for the population of the captives this time, but distinguished them.

Those old people were driven to the mountains to let them fend for themselves, and the children who were below the wheel were detained in isolation, preparing to teach them Chinese Sinicization in the future.

Girls over the age of ten were rewarded to the cavalry of the Tuxietu Department for their meritorious service, while men were assigned to two cavalry battalions.

In the end, a total of [-] Tuxietu cavalrymen received women's rewards. Not only that, but next year each of them will be rewarded with a pasture, cattle and sheep tents, and other supplies. come north.

As for the [-] Tumed cavalry, after returning this time, they will be directly rewarded with gold and silver. Of course, some of the outstanding cavalry will be promoted to knights.

After dealing with the matter of rewards, Huang Degong began to select a site for the construction of Anbei Protectorate City. After some careful consideration, he finally decided to build the city on the banks of the Aruhun River two hundred miles to the west.

This location is surrounded by mountains and rivers, [-] miles to the north is the stretch of mountains, and the south is the Aruhun River and its many tributaries. Once a city is built here, it will be able to control the entire Aruhun River Basin.

And as long as you control the Aruhun River Basin, you will also control the entire Mobei, not to mention the North Sea is more than 200 miles along the Hebei River, and you can rely on Fucheng and the entire Aruhun River Basin to continue to develop northward Until the entire area around the North Sea is included in the jurisdiction.

This is also what Zhu Cihong explained last year. The Anbei Protectorate's Mansion will not only control the entire Mobei, but also bring the entire Beihai into its jurisdiction. An official road needs to be built between the two cities, and then slowly assimilated to conquer the savages west of the North Sea.

After the location of Fucheng was determined, Huang Degong began to allocate manpower. The captured women and children were responsible for grazing in the nearby area. The people from the Xietu tribe and the captured men from the Zasak tribe were responsible for building the city.

In the next few days, countless Han and Mongols drove into the mountains to the north, felled wood and took rocks, and then transported them to the riverside in horse-drawn carts.

The masons began to dig the kilns, bricks, tiles and charcoal. The carpenters in the army were not idle and began to build various tools. For a while, both the Han people and the Mongols were working in full swing.

Because almost everyone has food and meat to eat, and even those grazing children have broth to drink, and gradually begin to integrate into the new life.

At this time, the Chechen Ministry had already moved to Beihai and settled down again. When Yatov learned that the Zasak Ministry was really over, he was also in a daze and was speechless for a long time.

The former mortal enemy was wiped out in just one day, which made him not only not the slightest bit happy, but gave birth to a kind of sad mood.

And then, as the news continued to come back, all the people of the Chechen tribe felt a deep panic and uneasiness. They did not expect that after the Han Chinese defeated the Zasak tribe, not only did they not suffer much damage, but they also did not suffer any damage. There are signs of retreat, and even plans to build a city.

"Don't these Han people plan to leave in the future? Want to stay in Mobei, how is this possible?"

Yatov couldn't believe it when he learned that the Han people were building a city.

"Khan, they are actually planning to build a city. I'm afraid they really don't plan to leave. Even if they want to leave, they won't leave this year. And even if they retreat in the end, they won't all leave. Some people will definitely stay." Helu Said very worriedly.

The other people also looked worried, and they couldn't help but not worry. If the Han people don't leave this year, what will happen to their Chechens this winter?
