Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 718
"Brothers in front, don't run away, surrender!"

"Surrender will lead to a good life, don't run away!"

"Winter is coming soon, where can I escape? Return to Daming!"

"Seeing that we have all surrendered to Daming, why do we have to sacrifice our lives for those leaders?"

"You ran away, your family is small, can the herd run away?"

"..."

Good guy, a hunting battle has been abruptly turned into a persuasion war by the recruits of the Zasaktu Khan tribe.

In this regard, the serious Ming army is really no match for them.

First, because they are Mongols, their words are more convincing than the soldiers of the Ming army in red jackets;
The second is because the Mongols understand the Mongols, and they can get twice the result with half the effort if they take the things that the Mongols are most worried about and what they care about the most.

No, after chasing after them, those people from Tuxietu Khan's tribe will not run away!

So what if he could escape?How will you spend the next winter?Also, the herds and the family would definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of the Ming army, so what should they do?
Since all the members of Zasaktu Khan's tribe have surrendered to the Ming army, and they seem to be very happy, then I won't be worse than now, right?
For ordinary herdsmen, there is really such an idea.Anyway, their life is already very hard, how can it be more difficult when they look back?

Only those Mongolian nobles, whose lives are not bad, don't believe that if they surrender to Ming Dynasty, their lives will be better than before.Also, they were also afraid that the Ming army would settle accounts with them, so they still ran away if they could!
The generals of the Ming army who were born as bandits, such as Li Guo, Gao Yigong, Li Laiheng, etc., fought like crazy when they fought. If you see a lot of people, go there and hunt them down!

This battle lasted a total of about half a day, and the various people who chased and killed were finally closed one after another.

Just like the first battle, not many enemies were killed, most of them surrendered, and a few unlucky ones were killed.As for the nobles of the Tuxietu Khan tribe, basically under the cover of their personal guards and familiar with the terrain here, they still escaped.

Li Dingguo looked around, and he found that without his order, the recruits of the Zasaktu Khan tribe were explaining the new policy of Ming Dynasty to the captives of the Tuxie Tuhan tribe who had just surrendered, because there were policies before the war.

The arrangement of military achievements is roughly 1 point for participating in the battle, as many points as many enemies killed, as many points as many enemies captured, and as many points as many enemies persuaded to surrender; similar to this, it greatly encouraged the recruits of the Zasaktu Khan The soldiers persuaded the captives to surrender for more military exploits.

Afterwards, the Jinyiwei supervisors in each ministry began to record their merits, while the other soldiers began to slaughter cattle and sheep for a feast.On the second day, just like the first time, those who were willing to join the army went out, and the others went south to Guihua City by themselves for the winter.

This time, it was smoother than the first time.For the captives of Tuxietu Khan's tribe, about [-] new recruits were added, which increased the strength of Li Dingguo's troops to about [-]; among them, the Ming elite cavalry had [-] cavalry; The cavalry army composed of ordinary herdsmen in Ketuhan has [-] cavalry; and the cavalry army composed of ordinary herdsmen in Tuxietu Khan has [-] cavalry.

Originally, the population of the Tushetu Khan tribe was larger than that of the Zhasaktu Khan tribe, and there were also more bottom-level herdsmen.But when the Ming army came to attack, Tuxietu Khan's tribe had already assembled, so if they couldn't fight, they would flee quickly.Although the recruits of Zasaktu Khan tried their best to persuade them, it was also for the backward deserters.As for those who escaped quickly, they could still hear persuasion, and they ran away early and disappeared.

If it wasn't for this reason, then the Ming army would recruit more recruits than the Zasaktu Khans!

Li Dingguo didn't care about this anymore. His main goal was to severely hit the Mobei tribe, so that the Mobei tribe would no longer be a part of Daming's worries.

Therefore, he did not stop doing anything, and led his men to continue to sweep eastward before the severe winter came.

………………

In about a month, Li Dingguo's troops swept across the three ethnic groups in Mobei from west to east, and even the Chechen Khan tribe did not escape the fate of being defeated by the Ming army.

At this time, Mobei had already started to snow heavily.

Li Dingguo stopped continuing and escorted the spoils of the Chechen Khan from the east side of the Daqingshan Mountains to the south.

In the Battle of Mobei, Li Dingguo swept the three tribes in Mobei, not only with minimal losses, but also in terms of military strength, he fought more and more, including the low-level herdsmen of the Chechen Khan, and the available cavalry reached more than 5000.

Of course, there are still many people from the Mobei tribe who were attacked by the Ming army and fled to various parts of Mobei.However, they lost their herds and their families, and either became prairie bandits, or they went south to surrender to Daming, or they could only seek refuge with other tribes and rely on others.

When the Ming army went south, Gao Yigong and the others got together and looked at the huge team. They were a little unbelievable. They didn't expect to fight, but they could fight such a battle?

No, Gao Yigong said: "I'm really convinced, Ning Yuanbo can still fight like this, why didn't I hear that he has this ability before!"

Although they belonged to Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in the past, they also had intersections.

After hearing this, Tian Jianxiu replied, "Uncle Ning Yuan has always treated people generously and has strict military discipline. I've heard of it. It's not surprising that he used such a method this time. of."

Li Guo heard their conversation, and expressed his opinion: "Actually, if I really want to say something, in the final analysis, it is because the imperial court is rich and able to accommodate so many herdsmen. Otherwise, no matter how good-hearted , and it cannot be done.”

After a pause, he immediately continued: "You guys have forgotten that at the beginning of our rebellion, Yang He, the governor of the three sides at the time, basically wanted to recruit us. At that time, after the recruitment, there was no money or food for resettlement. If not, they will rebel again. The same is true for the people on the grassland, even if they submit, but if they cannot be resettled by then, if they are going to starve and suffer from cold, they will definitely rebel in the end."

Hearing this, Gao Yigong and the others were deeply moved.

Back then, the imperial court was unable to arrange for the people who were recruited, so Hong Chengchou began to massacre the recruited people, so he got the nickname "Hong Shatou".

Thinking about the past and looking at the present, the changes they have made to Daming are really a bit unimaginable.

Today's Daming is changing almost every year.

The vibrancy and bustling scenes everywhere were really unimaginable a few years ago!

In particular, steam trains began to be built in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty.Materials from all over the country are exchanged through the railway, which greatly reduces the consumption on the road.

Not to mention anything else, just on the Guihua City side, it is heard that a railway will be built. When the time comes, it will be more convenient to communicate with each other inside and outside the customs.

The Hetao Plain originally belonged to the Mongols, and the imperial court has also made a strategy to open up wasteland and farm on a large scale, and make it a real frontier in the south of the Yangtze River!
If this were to be changed in the past, it would be an incredible thing!
Li Laiheng is still young, and he feels a little less about what they said. His attention is more focused on another aspect, and he said happily: "When I go back, give these newcomers Changing clothes means that the imperial court has an extra [-] to [-] elite cavalry, the emperor must be happy, this time, we must have made great achievements."

Hearing this, everyone laughed in unison.

These ordinary Mongolian herdsmen are born to ride horses and shoot arrows. The only thing they lack is the courage to fight and excellent equipment.

Now that the imperial court has money, there are definitely a lot of standard armor and ordnance, so changing clothes is not a problem.And with as much equipment as possible, and if rewards and punishments are clearly defined, the courage to fight will naturally be obtained.

Li Guo and Gao Yigong thought of more than this.

The Battle of Mobei this time is equivalent to solving the hidden dangers in the north of Hetao, solving the three tribes of Mobei in one go, and greatly enriching the population of Hetao Plain. This is not the benefit that can be brought by simply killing the enemy.

Even if Wacha and the Tsarist Russian Empire unite, Da Ming doesn't need to mobilize other troops. The existing frontier army and the newly added troops on the Hetao side are enough to deal with it.

Not to mention, the three tribes in Mobei were destroyed overnight under the surprise attack of the Ming army, and the deterrent to other Mongolian tribes will have a series of follow-up effects.

Although the Battle of Mobei this time cannot match the prestige of Hussar General Feng Lang Juxu, the actual effect achieved is actually not low.

This battle made Li Dingguo's reputation a legendary existence on the grassland.

Thinking of this, Li Guo and Gao Yigong were all happy because they were also fortunate to participate in this battle.

..............................

Besides, on the side of Guihua City, after the rangers encountered the Zhasaktu Khan troops who were going south, they immediately flew to report to He Renlong, the guard of Guihua City.

He Renlong heard that these herdsmen were arranged by Li Dingguo to go south, and Li Dingguo took their family to fight in Mobei. If he dared to neglect, he immediately flew to the governor of Yansui and the governor of Xuanda, asking for help urgently.

At that time, I didn't expect that the population of Guihua City would increase so much.

Governor Yansui and Governor Xuanda did not dare to neglect when they heard the news, and immediately sent a team to deliver food and supplies to the grassland.They were naturally very happy that the Hetao Plain, which was originally thought to be a vast land and sparsely populated, had increased so much in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, after half a month or so, the population of the Tushetu Khan tribe went south again.

This time, even the Governor of Yansui and the Governor of Xuanda were shocked. Guihua City could not resettle so many in a short time, and transporting supplies to the grassland would consume a lot of food. Let’s talk about this winter.
