The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 808
The master's slack command is of course overstaffed, so that when the "Red Banner Army" [-] cavalry came from all directions, they actually rushed in directly, without encountering an organized cavalry hedge.

The wintering camp of the Tartars was rushed back and forth, and the Tartars who rushed to the battle didn't even put on their leather armor in time.

Er Linchen's guards reacted a little better and ran northward in time to protect their master. Their team had four or five hundred riders.

Little did he know that it was because of their large number that they attracted the attention of the "Red Banner Army". When Hanzi discovered the established Tartar cavalry, he immediately became excited.

It's not fun to hide and kill the tartars who are running away with their heads in their hands. It's refreshing to fight with real swords and guns. Hanzi and his direct subordinate Qian Zong started the chase.

The equipment of the strengthened battalion, which was mainly supported, was completely different. Mr. Qian, the cavalry directly under Hanzi, chose good horses to ride, including [-] Arabian war horses.

The overall strength of the non-commissioned cavalry Qian Zong is no less than that of Gebush Xianchao Haring, who built slaves. Since everyone has at least two self-generated short guns, they can win in a face-to-face fight with Gebush Xianchao, who built slaves.

The Tartars belonged to the existence that was conquered by Jiannu, and the combat effectiveness of Elinchen's troops was not as good as that of Lin Danhan's. They were also at the middle-to-low level on the grassland, and their equipment was even worse.

How could they have any chance of escaping when they were chased by more than double the non-commissioned officer cavalry of the "Red Banner Army"?
In order to save time and hunt down more Tartars, Hanzi didn't intend to take prisoners, so he killed and killed along the way!As if playing, Er Linchen's guards were reimbursed.

Because the killing was too smooth, Er Linchen was split in two by the fool's mountain axe if he didn't pay attention.

Afterwards, after the captives identified the body, the fool knew that Erdos Wanhu Elinchen had been chopped up by himself.

After the "Red Banner Army" cavalry fought for an hour and a half, the infantry also arrived on the battlefield. The Tartars were killed.

The law of the prairie is well known to all Tartars. Too many boys taller than wheels thought they would also face massacres, and took up arms to resist, and were killed by the "Red Banner Army".

Including some old people and women who died in the melee, there were more than [-] corpses strewn about on the battlefield.

Hanzi, Yang Danian, Fang Liandong and other generals persisted and wiped out Elinchen, the largest Mongolian tribe on the Ordos grassland.

Those who follow me prosper and those who oppose me perish. Several medium-sized tribes were gathered and wiped out, some tribes fled northward, and dozens of tribes below the medium scale surrendered.

Their leaders and clan elders brought the young clansmen to kneel down and swear in the name of Changshengtian that they would serve the "Red Banner Army" voluntarily from now on.

At the end of the year, the Shanxi front army rescued more than 27 Han people, seized more than [-] horses, and intercepted more than one million cattle and sheep. On the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, thousands of households in the "Red Banner Army" system enjoyed the joy of victory.

General Zhenglu gave benefits to all families with "Red Banner Army" household registration, and each family can get five catties of beef and ten catties of mutton for free for the New Year.

The Shanxi front army did not return to Piantouguan until the 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Before that, the [-] captured Tartar women and children and the rescued more than [-] Han people had all been delivered to Huxue City and boarded the big ship to "Hanjiang Province".

The subjugated Hetao Grassland Mongolian small and medium-sized tribes were divided into [-] groups, with [-] string controllers being the upper limit, and each tribe had to select [-] bravest warriors to become auxiliary soldiers of the "Red Banner Army".

[-] Mongolian cavalrymen living in the Hetao Grassland were brought into Shanxi by fools and others. These people would receive six qian silver and five buckets of miscellaneous grains for a month under the condition of food and housing.

After three months, the Mongolian cavalry who have been recognized as qualified by the town governor and the propaganda team will be converted into the Guards Army.

At that time, one month will be able to get one or two taels of silver and five dou of wheat as military pay. During this period, those who perform outstandingly will be given cavalry treatment, and the military salary will be doubled to get two taels of silver and five dou of polished rice.

Life on the grasslands was hard. The Mongols suffered from white and black disasters repeatedly, and were often hungry. They never saw military pay when they fought with the chiefs. Most of them were voluntary labor.

Warriors who are willing to follow the "Red Banner Army" can immediately get half a year's food and salary for their families.

With an extra three silver dollars and three stones of miscellaneous grains, you can also buy the cheap daily necessities provided by the "Red Banner Army", making these Mongolian families feel like they have reached the sky in one step, and they no longer have to suffer from hunger.

Therefore, the emotions of the [-] Mongolian auxiliary soldiers were stable, and they were more at ease when they got uniforms and enjoyed three meals after joining the army.

The Tartars are full of energy. They are all trying to become guards to double their salaries. Many Tartars who think they are proficient in bows and horses already want to make meritorious service and become cavalry soldiers of the "Red Banner Army", which doubles their salaries.

Since it was winter and it was impossible to build the city, the Shanxi front army retreated to Piantouguan. They would leave some labor at Piantouguan to store supplies, and they would also hire a large number of slack villagers to burn bricks and cement.

Next year, when spring blossoms on the grassland, the Shanxi Front Army will spend half a year building a city with a circumference of eight miles at the site of the original Dongsheng Acropolis, which will become a prefecture of Ming Dynasty.

The area north of Hetao will be managed by the "Red Banner Army" as a horse breeding land, and the [-] small tribes that have been left alive will get work in horse herding and living space and food.

There are too many Mongols. I think that the Mongol Yuan Empire achieved the largest unification in the history of the Eurasian continent and became the largest and most powerful empire in the world at that time.

Huang Han never tried to kill all the Mongols, conquering them was the only way. Ever since he started to get involved in Yanshan North, he has been accepting the submission of small Mongolian tribes.

The Mongolian tribes who chose to surrender were able to sell their cattle and sheep for a good price, and obtained tea bricks, silk, cotton cloth, sugar, iron pots, rice, flour and other daily necessities at a reasonable price.

Now there are more than [-] Mongolian cavalry serving in the battalions of the "Red Banner Army", and the proportion has reached [-]% of the total number of cavalry owned by Huang Han.

The prairie ethnic groups in this era have neither the concept of a country nor a concept of a nation. Most of them are illiterate and relatively simple.

What's more, it is impossible for the "Red Banner Army" to choose Mongolian nobles, they are all selected from the bottom Mongolians, and many of them are actually inferior people in the tribe.

The strong survived on the prairie and attacked each other year after year, so too many prisoners of war were born, and these people were naturally enslaved people in the tribe.

The Mongols selected by the "Red Banner Army" started as auxiliary soldiers, and there were many who became regular soldiers, even corporal leaders, and small banner officers.
