The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 246 Extremely Lucky
Huang Han paused and said: "What's your name? Who are you? Why are you in Qingcheng? And why didn't you escape with Burgadu Taiji?

"My lord, my youngest name is Tubwin, he is from Nekhka, and there are dozens of people here who are also from Nekhka.

Some of the others were Tumed, some were Chahar people, and there were more than a dozen people from the Miaohua tribe.We were all slaves captured by the Karachins, so no one took us to escape. "

"I defeated the Karakin people, so you should belong to me now, right?"

"My lord, we are indeed your spoils of war. The purpose of coming here is to show that we will not be enemies of the Ming army and are willing to surrender to your lord. I also beg you not to kill. We have never fought against the Ming army before. Our people Many of them served in the Ming army."

The number of Mongols who served the Ming army is innumerable. Mangui, a Mongolian general, was promoted step by step from a pawn and finally won the title of Marquis of Dongping. There are too many Mongols under his command, and countless people fought for Ming Dynasty to the last moment.

The strategy adopted by Jiannu was to conquer Mongolia and pull the Mongol Tartars to fight against the Ming Dynasty. Huang Han was unable to kill all the Tartars, so he had to win over the Mongols to fight Jiannu.

The Tartars here come from multiple tribes, so they can leave them to raise horses first. After inspection, it should not be a problem to select half of them to join the "Red Banner Army" cavalry team.

He promised: "I decided not to kill those of you who volunteered to surrender. From now on, you can stay in the army and raise horses! I will give you three meals a day, and I will also give you six qian silver per month. Five buckets of miscellaneous grains are used as a monthly salary."

Tubuwen understood and Xizizi explained it loudly to the others in Mongolian. The three or 400 people all smiled and knelt down and kowtowed to thank them.

They said in Mongolian in unison: "Thank you for your kindness, we are all good at taking care of war horses, and we will definitely take care of the horses entrusted to us to grow fat and strong."

These people are basically survivors of exterminated small tribes, and they are also inferior people on the grassland, and their lives are difficult.

They were really happy to learn that the well-equipped Ming army leader gave such a good treatment. As a servant of the Karaqin people, they could barely eat two meals, and they were still not full. They gave the Ming army horses three meals to eat and money. , What a good thing food can be!

Huang Han said again: "As long as you are willing to work hard, I will select some of you to join the 'Red Banner Army'.

At that time, the salary will be doubled, and women will be given to let you settle down and become free citizens. You will also receive the same rewards as the Han army for your military achievements, and you will also be able to become officers. "

Tubu Wen was very happy. After he translated Huang Han's statement, the Mongolians became even more excited. They expressed their allegiance to Huang Han in Mongolian, and they were willing to become soldiers to fight for Ming Dynasty. They wanted to have their own women. To have a home.

The big riot planned by the blacksmith leader Shen Cunli was aborted because the Tartars in Qingcheng fled before the arrival of the Ming army. At this time, he organized thousands of people with various weapons to occupy the warehouses and grain depots to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos. burnt.

Song Pengfei, Zhao Kun and other officials who took the lead in entering the city met Shen Cunli after learning about the situation. After a detailed conversation, Song Pengfei felt that this person could be of great use, so he immediately brought him to see his mentor.

After Huang Han inquired about the ins and outs, he asked Song Pengfei to give Shen Cunli a pair of captured iron armor on the spot, and asked him to lead the Han people in Qingcheng to hunt down the Tartar family and hand over the Tartar's belongings.

Shen Cunli met the general of the Ming Dynasty and knew that going home was no longer a fantasy. In order to gain the trust of the Ming army, he handed over his only son Shen Ming, who was 12 years old this year, to Song Pengfei, because he found that the Song chief had many young men under his command.

Shen Ming will be 13 years old after the new year, and he inherited his father's physique and grows taller than his peers.

Song Pengfei liked it better, and he also wanted Shen Cunli to work for the "Red Banner Army" wholeheartedly. He announced on the spot that Shen Ming would be supplemented as a junior soldier, and he would stay by his side to train himself.

When he saw his son appearing in the same uniform as other young apprentices, Shen Cunli couldn't help but burst into tears...

Huang Han knew that there should be quite a few children like Shen Ming, these teenagers who have been enslaved by the Tartars for at least a year don't need to deliberately instill hatred, they should all hate the Tartars and build slaves.

Such soldiers are most likely to be of one mind with the "Red Banner Army". He ordered Song Pengfei and Zhao Kun, the infantry officers, to look for some older children to join the cadet army.

The Karakin people fled without fighting, leaving behind many Han slaves, many cattle and sheep, and a large amount of supplies and food, but not a single war horse.

The knights of the "Red Banner Army" concentrated their actions to intercept those fleeing tribes in a hurry. They chased north along the ruts until the afternoon, when the unlucky Gewotai tribe was surrounded by Ming army cavalry.

Ge Wotai dismantled the yurt last night and put it on a cart to lead his tribe to migrate north. Unfortunately, he is really not a good man who can afford it and put it down. The horses are fully loaded.

Such a large and heavy team is enough to walk fifty miles a day, and they are also driving sheep, so even if they set off early for a night and take a noon, it will not help. Discovered and successfully encircled.

Gewotai has three or four hundred light cavalry under his command. In an emergency, children and old people take up arms to resist, and their total strength is less than 1000.

The "Red Banner Army" had more than one thousand and one hundred riders, and the equipment of Gewotai's troops was not as good as that of Zhuoerbi's cavalry, and only thirty or fifty of them had iron armor.

Most of the hastily mobilized elderly and half-grown children didn't even have leather armor. They wore sheepskin jackets and picked up small ox horn bows in an attempt to fight against the "Red Banner Army" cavalry who were like iron men.

As can be imagined, the massacre was almost one-sided, and the light cavalry of the Gewotai Department, who were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of strength and equipment, were slaughtered.

Since Hanzi and Wang Zhanpeng led the troops to strike fast enough and ruthlessly enough, the Gewotai Department didn't even have time to put down their weapons and discuss the terms of surrender.

In the end, Gewotai, the middle and upper class Ji in Karaqin, ended his life by chopping on his chest with a flying axe. All the supplies of this tribe were seized by the Ming army. They rescued the little two thousand Han people and found that they were also slaves. Other Mongolian tribes captured more than forty people.

Qingcheng is doomed to have no sleep tonight, because dozens of military conscripts and soldiers have found their lost relatives, and the laughter and cries have infected too many people.

A man named Gu Zhun who was less than 30 years old felt very lucky to find his wife and children. When he learned that his five-year-old daughter couldn't stand the ups and downs and died on the way out of the customs, he cried bitterly.
