Chapter 1566
In this battle, due to logistical needs, some slave laborers in the slave labor camp were transferred to the army for logistics. Among them, Song Xiance is responsible for the logistics of the Northwest War Zone.
Song Xiance hearing this, very humbly said: "The governor can rest assured that the students will never neglect. The armaments and supplies have already been prepared. As for the transfer of captured materials, the governor will not be left behind despite the advancement. "
Zheng Jiu hearing this laughed: "Okay, it's best not to be left behind."
said: "You must clear the world and create a prosperous world. Manpower is the most lacking. And you The most sympathetic to the people, unwilling to embarrass the commoners, and will eliminate all the servitudes. As a result, the demand for slave labor camps in various places has skyrocketed. This time, entering the grassland and capturing young and strong women, they have to be escorted into the grassland. It may be sold or returned to the slave labor camp. It will contribute to the creation of a prosperous age. So I cannot neglect it."
He added: "However, this time the soldiers are very fast, and I am afraid that they will capture many troops, but they will kill them. Lord. There should be a lot of cattle, sheep and horses."
Song Xiance said: "The governor said that."
Zheng Jiu nodded: "Then go down and prepare. The officials should make contact. At night today, I will send troops. In addition, you must cooperate with the garrison for another recruit from Gyeonggi."
The whole army will go to war in the Northwest War Zone. , Xuan Da is empty, not afraid of foreign enemies, but afraid of gentry chaos. As a result, recruits trained in Gyeonggi have long been organized as a lieutenant, and priority is given to the Northwest War Zone. Take over defense.
It was supposed to wait until the new recruits arrive before starting the war, but the Chahar and Tumote divisions have changed and are gathering troops, so Zheng Jiu had to act first.
At night, Zheng Jiu's subordinate left Xuan Mansion quietly and headed north into the grassland.
The accompanying team of also guides are all selected from dealers.
The merchants in the northern frontier are more courageous than those in the interior. For profit, smuggling is also common.
The big merchants, such as the Jiexiu Fan Family, have been eliminated long ago, but some small merchants have taken it lightly. After all, the locality must satisfy the business operation, and there must be merchants.
These merchants are regular visitors on the grassland, and their understanding of the Tatar tribes is unmatched by anyone.
So selecting him as a guide is considered a crime and meritorious service.
There will be rewards after the war, which is something that traders can’t ask for.
One of the most direct benefits is that 30% of the captured materials are sold to these merchants. Of course, most of the 70% is still attributed to the Auxiliary Soldiers Department, directly included as officials.
In addition to being a guide, these merchants also have tasks to assist in the transfer of materials.
...
Compared with the city of Guihua, which is only under the nose, Chahanhot is far away and located deep in the grassland. When Tang Sanjin launched an offensive against Guihua City that night, Zheng Jiu's troops had gone deep into the grassland two hundred miles after an overnight march.
This night, Zheng Jiu was not idle either. All three tribes, large and small, were unplugged and blood dyed all the way.
The largest of the three tribes is no more than 10,000 people, and the smallest is no more than 1,000 or 800 people. Where can you stop Zheng Jiu's elite soldiers from a school lieutenant?
Without firing a shot, charge directly and crush it.
In the early morning, another tribe fell at Zheng Jiu's feet.
Zheng Jiu's rough face is full of coldness: "The old and the weak are killed. The young and strong cattle, sheep and horses should be connected by ropes and handed over to the slave labor camp and the caravan sports meeting Xuanfu."
The old and the weak are killed, that is to say, the old, also children, young children, do not leave a single!
Ying Yi's important generals, the most killers take weeks. Zheng Jiu is next!
If Zheng Wu, at most, order the killing of weak prisoners, instead of killing children and young children at the same time. But in Zheng Jiu's case, it's not the case.
"Look at these little Tatars, one by one, they have vicious eyes and are weak and weak. They should not be used. You will have to raise them for a few years and waste food. It is better to kill them."
Young and middle-aged people can be used directly as slaves. Children cannot. Nor can it be said that Zheng Jiu is at fault.
As for the soldiers under his command, there is no opinion at all. Ying Yi's army is probably one of the most murderous in history. Because military merit is based on the human head. Kill one more head, the more military merit feedback you will get. Who will not pity the children of these enemies.
It was ashen-faced that the traders who accompanied the army were scared, and secretly grateful for them.
Speaking of them, they once waded in Gates of Hell.
"Call Old Li, the Governor has something to ask."
While dealing with the prisoners, Zheng Jiu made a call to the guide leader Old Li. This Old Li is one of the traders, who is most familiar with the Tatars.
"The villain visits the governor." Old Li humbled.
Zheng Jiu waved his hand: "It doesn't have to be. I'll ask you, how far is Chahanhot?"
Old Li said: "also two hundred miles."
He said: "From here to the northeast, there are still two tribes passing by. With the rapid march of the governor, he can be in sight at most afternoon." The governor knows. You go down."
He said again: "Tell the merchants to take a rest for one hour here, and leave after one hour."
"The villain knows. ."
Massively marched overnight and flattened the three Tatar tribes. If the army wants to say that it is exhausted, it is not enough to say that it is full of energy.
Take a rest one hour, as it should be by rights.
Zheng Jiu stood on a grassy slope and looked back to the southwest: "At this time, the dust should have settled in Guihua City?"
...
p>The battle in Guihua City has indeed been settled.
Last night midnight, Tang San raided Guihua City and beat the Tumed Ministry to a completely unprepared.
Tumed was lured by the East Captives and was gathering troops to invade south. However, the news here cannot be concealed—perhaps the Tatars had never thought of concealing it.
Their thinking seems to have stayed at the time of the former Ming court.
I thought that Ying Yi’s army is no different from the Ming court’s rotten army.
After all, the Northwest War Zone did not produce such an amazing record—Xuan Da’s first line, too easily fell into Ying Yi’s hands, had not experienced a big battle, Jiang Yan always surrendered, maybe not Aroused the vigilance of the Tumed people.
And this point, the Donglu would definitely not tell the Tumed.
Because the East Captives needed the Tumote Tatars to send troops without any scruples, once the Tumote was told how strong Ying Yi’s army was, the Tumote would definitely not dare to do it lightly, and it was broken. Dorgon's cares.
Perhaps the Tumed people still don't know about the annihilation of Abatai's army-in this era, the delivery of news is too delayed and too backward.
When the ruling class of Tumed was still drinking and having fun in the city of Guihua, Tang Sanjin’s artillery bombarded the city wall of the city of nondescript. The sharp sword has been placed on their necks.
This battle is extremely easy.
But this battle is not over.
Jihua City is not all of Tumed. The flags of Tumed are scattered in the vast grassland centered on Guihua City. And the troops of various ministries are gathering in the city of naturalization.
The next thing to fight is the tough battle.
