Chapter 186 Depressed
Regarding the fierce action of the 2 Ming army going out of the fortress to kill everyone on the grassland of Monan West Hara, the Monan Royal Court of the Northern Man did not take any countermeasures in the end.

The Ming army also strictly followed the military orders.

If you say kill six thousand and sixty three people from the Northern Man, you will kill six thousand and sixty three people, not one more, and definitely not many!

After killing 960 people, he was immediately transferred back to the army. He didn't miss it at all, and the military discipline was very strict.

On the way back to the army, the general who led the army spat and said very displeasedly: "His grandma, why is the Beiman dog so cowardly?"

"I brought 2 people out of the fortress, but there is no decent cavalry to fight back!"

"Dog!"

He is really upset!
He wished for the official northern barbarian army to appear, and it would be best to provoke the Ming army again, so that he would have a reason to expand the results of the battle and directly come to a great victory in the Sihara Grassland!
Yes, now all the generals of the Ming army are eager to fight the Beimangan and gain military merits!

He even hoped that he could be the trigger for the Monan War!
This is great work!

It is possible to get promoted and make a fortune, or even become a marquis in one fell swoop with military exploits!
The current Ming Dynasty still implements a set of military meritorious doctrine similar to that of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Although it is not so strict, everything is still based on military merit.

From soldiers to generals in the army, there is no one who does not want military merit.

The will to fight has caught up with the terrifying Qin and Han troops back then.

Think about it, the fighting will and combat power of the Ming army are comparable to those of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and at the same time, they have a series of steampunk modern heavy firepower equipment, how terrifying it must be!
Now they are really not afraid of fighting the northern barbarians at all, and they are even eager to start a war as soon as possible!

Unfortunately, this opportunity was not given.

Until they finished the task and returned to the Great Wall, they didn't see any provocation from a cavalry line of more than a thousand people.

It's as if the four major tribes in Monan disappeared collectively.

This disappointed the general.

Although he was disappointed, King Jin and King Yan were quite satisfied after receiving the news.

The Ming army who went out to fight did not encounter large-scale northern barbarian cavalry resistance. That was the best situation.

After all, Beiman is still not clear about the upgrading of the Ming army's equipment.

Daming also hoped to hide it for as long as possible, at least until the Battle of Hetao was launched before revealing it.

In order not to let the northern barbarians know, the [-] troops who left the fortress this time did not have vehicles, and they relied entirely on cavalry to maneuver. They didn't even bring cannons, but some mortars.

If this encounters a fierce reaction from the northern barbarian Monan royal court, Emperor Hongwu has made preparations for launching the Battle of Hetao in advance.

Fortunately, the current situation is not so bad.

It is now the first month of the 29th year of Hongwu.

There are still about three months left before the launch of the Battle of Hetao.

When the spring begins, King Jin and King Yan will lead the army and send troops from Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Beiping to attack the Hetao area.

King Yan was responsible for stopping the northern barbarian tribes who tried to support the Hetao area from the east of Monan.

And King Jin is in charge of leading the troops to smash the Hetao area directly, and let's close the door and beat the dog!
The detailed battle plan is all done, and it's just waiting to be launched.

Taiyuan, Prince Jin's Mansion.

Almost at the same time, when King Yan received the battle report from the troops leaving the frontier, King Jin also received it.

After reading the contents of the telegram in detail, King Jin snorted coldly, and said to the seven or eight senior generals who were standing under the hall, ready to fight at any time: "Bei Mangou hold back."

"More than 2 of our troops went out of the fortress, and none of them encountered the main force of Beiman Monan."

"It seems that this battle is still not going to be fought in wartime."

"You guys can go back to the barracks first."

"However, since the annual leave and family leave for soldiers have been cancelled, let's practice them all."

"The war will start in spring at the latest, and there is not much time left."

"Give me an order to kill pigs and sheep, and give the whole army extra meals for three days. Let's treat it as a New Year's feast."

The seven or eight senior generals who are under the rule of King Jin and who will participate in the next Hetao Battle all have some regretful expressions on their faces.

They thought that this time the battle would be launched in advance.

Unexpectedly, Beimangou, who has always been hot-tempered and would fight with swords if he disagreed with him, could bear it this time when facing the [-] troops of Ming Dynasty going out of the fortress.

"What is Beiman doing?"

"Our army has 2 people going out of the fortress, but they didn't respond?"

Faced with the general's question, King Jin murmured: "The specific situation is still unknown, and Jin Yiwei's foreign intelligence department is looking for information."

"We must find out the dynamics of the Northern Man. If the four major tribes in Monan are held back by something and cannot get away, maybe we will launch the Battle of Hetao in advance."

"So gentlemen, don't slack off."

"War may break out in the next second!"

The senior generals looked at each other a few times, with excitement and excitement in their eyes.

"Here!"

"Follow the king's orders!"

Only then did King Jin smile with satisfaction.

It is a good thing that the generals under his command are all happy when they hear the battle.

He is full of confidence in the victory of the Battle of Hetao!

Once this battle is won, Daming will soon be able to take the three thousand miles of grassland in the south of Monan!

The imperial court of Mobei can look down on the northern barbarians from a distance!
With the Hetao Plain, as long as it is given another three to five years to farm, the Ming Dynasty has every hope of destroying all the forces of the Northern Barbarians in the northern and southern deserts in one fell swoop, and driving them to the Western Regions to harm those Western barbarians!

King Jin also knew the next strategy that Emperor Hongwu had appointed for the Zhu family.

At that time, on the vast northern and southern deserts, there will be a foreign vassal named Jin, which will be established on the grasslands to defend the central celestial dynasty!

But in the country, he, the king of Jin, is the real ancestor, built the ancestral temple, and established a family business.

The King of Jin felt that he was still young, and he should be able to lead the Jin Kingdom through the difficult entrepreneurial period of the first 20 years!
The future prospects are full of hope!

Thinking of this, he is full of motivation, and will dedicate his life to Emperor Hongwu's great imperial career!

"My lords, if you make merits in this battle, the lonely king will definitely ask His Majesty for credits!"

"Please, gentlemen, fight bravely!"

The disturbances in the northwest frontier have not yet reached Jianzhou, which has not even received a telegram.

It took half a month for the news of the fall of Dongluo County and the [-] frontier troops of the Ming Dynasty to retaliate to Jianzhou.

In Jianzhou in the first month, the mountains were blocked by heavy snow, and the news could not be transmitted normally. I couldn't do my own work in the Jianzhou area, let alone the disturbance thousands of miles away.

When he received the news, Peng Ke was spending the winter on a warm kang, so he didn't have the slightest opinion about it.

Even if there is a war, it has nothing to do with Jianzhou!
Seeing that the fraternal troops are about to make contributions, but he is nestled in Jianzhou as neighbors with the savages. In the coming year, he will do civil engineering, carry out various infrastructure construction and farming.

This depressed Penke badly.

But no matter how depressed he was, there was nothing he could do.
