Ming Taizi's Total War

Chapter 142 Victory and Return
Although killing a Tazi soldier is already very powerful, this is something that many frontier soldiers could not do.

But facing Zhu Cihong, Wang Tong always felt that his record was not good enough to let the monarch hear about it.

"Don't blame yourself, this is already very good. All the Tartars have practiced martial arts since they were young, and they are good at bow and horse. How many of those officers and soldiers can guarantee that they can kill a Tartar soldier."

Zhu Cihong comforted Wang Tong and said, in all fairness, it is really not easy for a woman to do this.

Besides, war is not her duty in the first place, and she should not be forced to do anything.

Just when Zhu Cihong was about to say a few nice words that could boost morale, Zhang Zhong suddenly walked over.

"Your Majesty, the trophies have been collected and all the ears have been cut off. We just need to go back and count them."

"The captured Tartars have also been handed over to the soldiers. As soon as we return to camp, we can reward the prisoners for their merits and execute them."

Zhang Zhong moved very quickly, and Zhu Cihong had already solved everything after talking for a while.

The execution ability of the imperial guards and pro-army troops is high, and they don't have the trivial matters of ordinary armies, such as fighting for spoils and grabbing credit.

The second is that the scattered Eight Banners soldiers who were rushed by Zhu Cihong's large army could not organize a decent resistance at all. They were like sampans in the sea, and they were all submerged when a big wave rushed over.

"Okay, then let's head back to Fengqiu right away."

"By the way, inform the people in the nearby villages to bury the bodies of these Tatars in the ground. They came to our Central Plains, but we can't let them go so easily and let them leave so easily."

"Your Majesty, the Tartars fought with us, and now we bury them in the ground, isn't that doing them too well?" Zhang Chao didn't understand why Zhu Cihong did this.

In fact, Zhu Cixi also has his own difficulties. Although it is autumn now, the temperature is still [-] or [-] degrees Celsius occasionally.

At such a temperature, if the corpses of these Tartars were left in the open air, a large number of mosquitoes would eat them in two or three days.

Then it will easily lead to a plague in the vicinity. If one fails, the plague will spread. At that time, everyone will not even have to fight, because they will die of illness directly.

"I buried them in the soil, not for them to rest in the soil, but for them to be used as fertilizer for thousands of miles of gardens in the Central Plains. What fertilizer do you think can compare to the corpses of animals? Haha."

Zhu Cihong felt that it was the best choice to bury them in the ground as fertilizer, or burn them on fire, there was no other way.

Burning with fire would waste precious fuel, and it would waste precious fuel to dispose of a pile of useless rotten meat. This business is not worth it to Zhu Cihong.

"What your majesty said is that the last general is stupid." Zhang Chao only understood Zhu Cihong's wisdom at this time.

He also found it reassuring to think of Tartars as fertilizer for crops.

After the angels who conveyed Zhu Cihong's decree to the surrounding villages and towns hurriedly set off, Zhu Cihong also set off back to Fengqiu County with a team that stretched for several miles.

In a big battle, the soldiers need to rest well. The wild land is not flat enough, and there is not enough water source. Only Fengqiu City is the most suitable.

Walking on the path in the field, Zhu Cihong rode on horseback and scanned the endless wilderness around him, seeing countless golden corns.

A stalk of corn grew to the side of the road, and Zhu Cihong took the heavy corn on it in his hand.

Putting it on the palm of his hand to observe for a while, he found that these corns were completely different from the corns he saw in modern times.

It looks very shriveled, the grains are not full, and the corn cobs are even smaller, only half the size of later generations.

"Corn has been introduced for more than 100 years, but I didn't expect that the corn cobs produced would be so poor."

Zhu Cihong is very concerned about the crops in the fields, because farming and warfare are the most important thing in a country.

Without farmland and crops, there would be no food, and everyone would starve to death. Even with the strongest army in the world, they would be too hungry to beat a child.

But if the army is not well built, foreign enemies will invade from time to time, disturbing your peace, and naturally agricultural production will not be able to proceed.

It can be seen that farming and warfare are the two most important things in a country.

In the previous life, when Zhu Cihong was in his hometown, he saw national leaders coming down to inspect. Every time they talked about the four words "food security" and "food security", it seemed that everything could be discarded for the sake of food, and nothing seemed important. of.

Just when Zhu Cihong thought of important national affairs because of the corn in his hand, they walked out of this farmland unknowingly and came to a large open space outside Fengqiu County.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty on his victory and return, I wish my Son of Heaven victorious in all battles, wipe out bandits, expel Tartars, long live my emperor, long live!"

Wu Yaya saw a large group of people standing in the open space outside the city. When they saw Zhu Cihong's banner, they fell to their knees and shouted loudly.

Because Zhu Cihong sent someone to announce the news of victory in advance, the people from the camp government office had already brought the soldiers and civilians in the city out to greet him.

"Long live, why are you holding the corn cob in your hand? This thing is dirty, don't stain your dragon body, give it to the slaves quickly." Seeing Zhu Cihong holding the corn cob in one hand and the rein in the other, Liu Bao hurriedly step forward.

Corn is planted by people who plan and eat in the soil. It is exposed to wind, sun, frost and rain all day long, so it is not clean at all.

But the monarch was born in the most luxurious and cleanest place in the world, and the emperor was the holiest person in the world. Liu Bao felt that it was indecent for Zhu Cihong to hold the corn cob with his own hands.

"Why is food dirty? Everyone needs to eat food in their lives, whether it is clean or not, if they don't eat it, they will die. In my opinion, food is the cleanest thing in the world."

"I was holding the food, but my dirty hands contaminated it. Don't talk nonsense." Zhang Peilun lectured Liu Baodao.

"Your Majesty's words are very true. From my point of view, His Majesty holds food in his left hand and a sword in his right hand. He is a talented and general master who cares about the hardships of the people's livelihood and also takes care of military and state affairs. He has the legacy of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong. It is a sign of the revival of my Ming Dynasty. "

Just as Zhu Cihong was talking to Liu Bao, Qian Qianyi jumped out of nowhere.

After Zhu Cixiang left Jinling, he placed most of the central officials in his camp, so now Qian Qianyi is also in Fengqiu.

However, his companion, Qian Qianyi, Minister of the Ministry of War, who is also a Grand Master of the Diange University, is not here.

Because Shi Kefa went out of Yangzhou that day to supervise the soldiers and horses of the four towns, so this time his son is under the city of Kaifeng, supervising Gao Jie and those guys.
