Chapter 776
The first month on the grassland is cold and clear, the sun is shining brightly, and the excited Han people gather in various open spaces with weapons in hand.

The Alda tribes in the city have been blocked in several areas by the Ming army, and they have become pigs and sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Those murderous people are not only Han people, but also the tribes who are not Alda tribes.

Although Wang Tong used an official tone with those wealthy businessmen, the meaning in his words was very clear, and the scope was also delineated. These businessmen and prominent figures in Guihua City were at a time when they were frightened. How dare they violate it? .

The Alta Ministry established Guihua City, and took great pains in the selection of residents in the city. Naturally, Alta Khan, nobles at all levels, and their backbone generals were in the city, as were the hardworking and obedient Han merchants and a group of handicraftsmen. In terms of residence, merchants of various ethnic groups from Mobei and the Western Regions also live in the city, but other residents of the Alta tribe who live in the city have certain standards.

Those who have tribes, family properties, and status, but are not directly under Altan Khan, are not allowed to live in the city. At most, they are allowed to bring their tribes close to Guihua City in winter.

The Alta tribes living in the city are all poor or close to poor herdsmen. All kinds of assignments under him, or being conscripted into the army.

From the first generation of Altan Khan to Senggedu Gulen, even Talik is doing it, which is to distribute food and necessities to these common people and herdsmen on a regular basis.

The poor people of the Alta tribe in the city, on the one hand, because their lives are closely attached to the nobles of the Alta tribe, and on the other hand, because of the disparity between the rich and the poor, they are extremely hostile to the Han people and other ethnic groups.

This effect is exactly what the nobles of the Alta tribe want. If the Alta tribe, who only know how to nomad and fight, wants to maintain this city, they must have Han people and merchants and craftsmen from various ethnic groups in the Western Regions. The city has grown for a long time, and the wealth accumulated by the merchants is increasing. Even if the skills of the craftsmen are not kept secret, the Ida people who are used to being helped and taken care of are not willing to learn. The vast fertile land outside the city needs Han people to come. manage.

The non-Alta tribes control more and more wealth and more and more necessities. If the Alta tribes are friendly with them again, the Khan's control over the tribes and the city will become weaker and weaker .

Therefore, while keeping the tribes poor, Altan Khan gave the tribes a relatively high political status, allowing them to bully other ethnic groups in the city without being punished.

The Han people are submissive, while the other ethnic groups are alone and isolated. This situation has been maintained, and the people of the Ida tribe have become more and more serious.

When Wang Tong led the Ming army to the city of Guihua and defeated the Tartar army, after returning to the city, in order to appease the emotions of the defeated soldiers and the tribes in the city, they allowed them to plunder, burn and kill, and even the Alda tribe The nobles reaped a lot of benefits from it and enriched their wealth.

It's just that no one thought that the retribution would come so quickly, that is, within two days, everything was turned upside down. The people in Guihua City who were not from the Alda Department had already been burned and killed that day. Originally suppressed by the army, they did not dare to act rashly, but since the higher authorities gave permission, everyone was naturally raging.

This is the case in Daming, and the same is true in Guihua City outside the borders of the Ming Dynasty. The Han people are used to swallowing their anger, and they are willing to give in first. , this is luck.

Today is different, there are men who are unwilling to come here, and are scolded by their mothers and wives at home, and the female family members of the neighbors are also sarcastic, so they have to come here with weapons.

Don't do to others what you don't want to be done to others. Those who indulged in looting, burning and killing that day, did not necessarily know this sentence, but the current situation is like this, and it is too late to regret.

No one issued an order. The Ming army in the blocked area only opened an opening for the Han people to rush in. Each team of Han people was followed by a team of officers and soldiers to supervise the battle. If there were any problems, they would step forward to support.

No one thinks this is a dehumanization. When the Ming army entered the city, the Han people who led the way were full of bitterness and hatred. When they told the Ming army about the tragic situation of themselves and their families on that day, they often cried loudly, beat their chests and feet, and heard The soldiers of the Ming army gritted their teeth in hatred for those things.

If it wasn't for Wang Tong's fear that the massacre would make the soldiers uncontrollable, the soldiers would probably have to do it themselves. This is the case with the Han people. The people from various tribes in the Western Regions and non-Alta tribes are more barbaric than the Han people. We gave them this opportunity. These people are even more courageous and take the lead, lest there will be fewer kills.

Those wealthy Han merchants had even more goals. The city was breached too suddenly yesterday, and the Ming army sealed off the city too quickly. Many rich and powerful people from the Altan tribe in the city did not have time to escape.

Although these people sent letters to wealthy Han merchants last night, or went to see Wang Tong directly, most of them were turned away, and some wealthy Han merchants wanted to intercede for them, but these wealthy Han merchants did not have the opportunity to meet Wang Tong. This approach exists, and everyone understands it.

Compared with those Alda tribes who may only have one horse and some miscellaneous things, these nobles are the real targets worth attacking. The Han people in the city often wear their own private soldiers.

The nobles of the Alta tribe also have guards in their hands, and they are often stronger than the Han people's force, but they have no effect in such a wave, because the common people are not good, and there is also the Ming army.

From the early morning, the city was full of murderous aura, and more than half of the city was fighting and killing. On this day, Guihua City was full of blood.

************
Although Wang Tong slept very late, he got up as early as the soldiers of the other armies. Yang Jin, Ma Yong and others all came to the commander to gather first.

The handsome tent is on the side of King Khan's palace, where the fiercest battle broke out in the city, and there are no common people living here, so it is quiet here.

But this quietness is relatively speaking. The chaos and noise in the city can be heard in the tent. The deputy general of Ji Town Yang Jin frowned and said:
"Marshal, the soldiers are quicker to do this kind of killing, why let these common people do it, the swords and guns have no eyes, and there must be some casualties."

"The Huwei army is a forbidden army. As usual, they have to defend the capital. Jizhen soldiers will naturally return to Jizhen. Datong soldiers are all soldiers and family members of each family. Can we stay? Even if the imperial court sends troops over, will they be stronger than us? ? At that time, we will definitely rely on these Han people in the city to assist in defense."

Wang Tong explained with a smile, this is a bit different from last night's explanation, Wang Tong continued:
"Let them see the blood, let them be stronger, here alone outside the fortress, even if the troops are stationed in the future, I am afraid that the border towns in Shanxi and Shaanxi may not be able to take care of them, and they have to stand on their own. ah!"

As for the killing of the Tartars, there is no chance of turning back in the future. Even if Wang Tong didn't point it out, Yang Jin can't figure it out, but the reason Wang Tong said now is more high-sounding and more convincing, and Yang Jin just nodded. , but nothing else.

Over there, Ma Yong had an excited look on his face. The cavalry gathered from all over Datong Town had the most undisciplined soldiers, the most keen on burning, killing, and looting. Today, the powerful private soldiers in the city were gathered to chase those big tribes, and it was Datong Town that dominated them. Ma Yong, as the chief general of the Datong Army, naturally gained a lot of benefits.

"Pursue those big tribes that have left, and we should be able to wipe them out within ten days. After defeating these tribes, Guihua City will have no problems within half a year!"

Wang Tong said in a deep voice, and Cai Nan beside him nodded in agreement:

"What the commander-in-chief said is very true. The strength of the Ida Department is the main force in the city. Those who can come here to spend the winter in the winter are mostly allied. Apart from the thousands of cavalry in the old land of Tubo, it can no longer form any scale."

Everyone nodded, their faces were full of joy. After breaking the city yesterday, they rested at night and got up early in the morning, thinking about yesterday, and then thinking that they were already in Guihua City. What a feat it was to conquer the capital city of the Tartars and behead the King of the Tartar Khans. This feeling was still unreal yesterday and night, but now, all I can do is be happy.

Wang Tong scanned the crowd and said with a smile:

"There is no suspense about the cavalry chasing the fleeing tribe. Although there are fast horses going to the capital to deliver messages every day along the way, they should go to the capital today to report victory!"

As soon as he said this, there was a sudden commotion in the handsome tent. Yang Jin, Ma Yong and the others looked at each other. Although they had already passed their thirties, they couldn't restrain their expressions of excitement. What kind of glory is really exciting. Both of them stood up and said in unison:

"Listen to the command of the commander-in-chief!"

Yang Jin and Ma Yong were like this, even General Tan and the others looked excited, everyone was a general, so naturally they were in the same mood, Wang Tong nodded and said with a smile:

"Just ask the superintendent to write, and I will wait for everyone to sign with the seal!"

The generals naturally obeyed orders, there was a lot of killing outside, but the generals were all happy in their hearts, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, today is nothing more than patrolling outside the city, with solid defense inside the city.

Yang Jin and Ma Yong walked out of the military tent. Ma Yong looked back and said with a smile:

"Our over there are all offerings to the supervising army. Mr. Wang is kind. He used the supervising army as a document. I think the father-in-law of the supervising army also thinks it is justified. Tsk tsk, what a rarity!"

"My lord Wang is doing unusual things everywhere, otherwise would he be able to achieve such achievements?"

"Yes, yes!"

The two walked away laughing and talking, Wang Tong was silent for a while in the military tent, and said:
"People from various commercial houses should be on the way, let Ma Sanbiao and the others send out a team of cavalry to meet them."

General Tan agreed, and Wang Tong heaved a sigh of relief and said softly:
"After the big victory, it's time for the civil servants to make trouble for us!"
