However, Li Tu, who was being cared about by the Emperor at the moment, was not patrolling around the Daxingan Mountains. He was excitedly rushing to Zhenbei Pass carrying a lot of loot.

This is a long story to say, and the real source begins with him repelling Huang Taiji's cavalry team.

Huang Taiji's 30,000 wild Jurchen cavalry were truly elite. Even though Li Tu had trained rigorously for a whole year, was well-equipped, and had gone out to Jurchen territory many times for actual combat. But in their first fight, he still fought against these three.

Ten Thousand Cavalry came to exchange casualties one to one.

There were a total of three thousand casualties, and Li Tu almost suffered a cardiac arrest in pain. As a senior general in the current field army and the Central Army, he fully understood the value of every soldier in the army. Let's talk about the original Zhou Li, and now Tianjin

The son of Lao Zhoutou, the salt farm manager, was originally a member of the Yulin Army, but because His Majesty wanted to build a basic police system, he was transferred to the army early.

Now, he is the chief of the Baoding Prefecture Police Station. He is a fifth-rank police officer. He has a bright future in the police system. I heard that he will be transferred to the province after his term is over. Although he is not promoted as fast as the military, the power of the police is comparable to that of the military.

There are more lieutenant colonels in China.

As for the others, as long as they are out of the military, they are at least a ninth-grade official. It can be said that if you just pull a person out of the army and throw him somewhere, he will at least have a ninth-grade official status, and it is very easy.

Go up. Not for any other reason, just because they have received complete enlightenment education and complete military ideological education.

They are the direct descendants of His Majesty, and they are also the most effective people in implementing the emperor's policies locally. The casualties of three thousand people were more than those killed by Zhu Youxiao when he beat Lin Danhan. Moreover, those who died had experienced it.

Talents with more than one year of rigorous training and rich experience in small-scale combat.

However, cavalry fighting is no better than infantry, with fewer casualties on the spot and more combat effectiveness lost due to injuries. The cavalry is on horseback, and once it is injured and falls off the horse, it will die under the hooves of countless horses. On a battlefield of 3,000 people, the attrition rate is at most

Only one in ten will survive.

How could this not make Li Tu heartbroken?

It was precisely because of this that when he rushed out of Huang Taiji's encirclement, he directly avoided the opponent's sharp edge and instead found the opponent's weak point - the trouble of the Mongolian cavalry.

Compared to the ferocious Jurchens who were almost inhuman, the Mongolian cavalry were just weaklings. After several in and outs, Li Tu suffered almost no losses until almost all the Mongolian cavalry were killed by them, which almost affected Huang Taiji.

When the morale of the team was high, the two sides slowly separated, met and faced off for a while, and then went home.

Huang Taiji understood Li Tu's resolute and unyielding expression very well, so he no longer insisted on going to Mongolia and returned to Yehenala instead.

Of course, he could also continue walking north to find colleagues in more remote and unknown valleys, but in this way, the risks Huang Taiji would bear would be much greater, especially after his traces were discovered by Ming Dynasty. He

The courage to use all the troops to conquer Lin Dan Khan was also based on the Ming Dynasty's weak control over the outside world, and secretly went out to shoot.

If the other party finds that his main force is not in Yehenala and does not gather an army for the expedition, then it would be too underestimated the intelligence of Emperor Ming. At least Huang Taiji would not make a budget that would have such a possibility, and he even vaguely guessed it

Emperor Ming's current location is either in Duoyan Sanwei or Chahanhot.

They are all smart people!

Thinking that he also wanted to check Lin Danhan, a soft persimmon, it was unreasonable for Emperor Ming, who had the wisdom and courage of the Chinese people, not to think of it. Obviously, Emperor Ming also speculated that he might do this, so he arranged the Hussars in advance.

The military base is at the mountain pass, harassing their own actions.

All the traps have been exhausted! After making this judgment, Huang Taiji decisively gave up his plan, and the commander returned to Yehenala. It was also on the road that he met the envoy Azig photographed to report the news.

As for Li Tu, who had forced Huang Taiji back, after feeling proud for a while, he took his troops back to Zhenbeiguan for repairs. There was a temporary field hospital there, and various logistics supplies were piled up there, which became their temporary

station.

As for the number of casualties in the battle, it was as expected. Only ninety-three people were recovered from the battlefield and could still breathe. In the end, only eighty-seven people could be rescued, and half of them were still alive.

He can no longer participate in the battle. Either half of his hand is missing or a section of his limb is missing.

However, these people are also treasures. The local police station and city defense army are rushing to get the elites who survived the battlefield. There should not be too many positions waiting for them. As for where to go, it depends on their own choice.

Now, should I be a city defense soldier for the rest of my life or a policeman for the rest of my life?

As for the dead soldiers, after the Taoist priest of the Tiandi Temple in the army held a grand memorial and blessing event, everything sparked. Their ashes and inscriptions (dog) were put together, waiting to be sent back to the country.

In the Temple of the Emperor of Heaven, incense has been offered and sacrificed from generation to generation.

The soldiers at the level of soldiers are placed in the Temple of Heaven in the local county, the lieutenants are placed in the government, the school officers are placed in the province, and the officers at the general level are placed in the Temple of Heaven for worship, which is the main altar of the Temple of Heaven, led by the high priest.

Hosted by Zhang Xianyong.

This form of death, which is more honorable than in life, instantly makes countless soldiers jealous. The conditions for entering the Temple of the Emperor of Heaven are very demanding. They must be soldiers of the Central Army, and they must die on the battlefield. Not in battle.

Yes, even if you become a general or a governor, it will be useless.

Maybe they can be buried with the imperial mausoleum, but they will definitely not be able to enter the Temple of the Emperor of Heaven. After all, it is a shrine for His Majesty the current emperor. Only the soldiers who died in battle can ascend to heaven with the incense set by God Haotian.

It is precisely because of the entire system that all soldiers of the Central Army do not care about their own lives when fighting. Anyway, if you die, your Majesty will take care of your family, and you can enter the Temple of the Emperor of Heaven and enjoy the sacrifices of past generations.

, this kind of sacrifice is stable and long-lasting. It can be said that as long as the court continues, the incense will never go out.

Really resting with the country!

Even this time, the soldier Li Tu rescued cried bitterly, wondering why he didn't die. Well, the corner of Li Tu's mouth twitched when he heard this statement, and he could only look at the Taoist priest who was greeting him with emotion. It's amazing.

The teachings!

Well, these are just episodes. Li Tu doesn’t deliberately think about it. As a former butcher who has killed many pigs and many people, he has a very clear understanding of life. He doesn’t want to live for a long time, but he also doesn’t want to die too early.

, in your limited life, you must always leave something behind.

Always feeling some shortcomings in his heart, he soon returned to his old profession and earned the title of butcher, but again he was slaughtering people instead of pigs.

Therefore, some people also call him "human massacre".

Our Cavalry General Li Tu likes this nickname very much and often shows it off. Therefore, as a man with such a title, how could he be idle in Zhenbeiguan?

After a short repair, he once again left the border with the missing army and wandered around the Daxingan Mountains. With nothing to do, he kept looking for trouble for those small tribes.

They were constantly driven and forced to go to Shenyang, the capital of Liaodong Province, to pay taxes. Just because farmers did not need to pay taxes did not mean that herders did not need to pay taxes, and they were also herdsmen of a foreign race. As the Ming Dynasty's military power gradually recovered, for those outside the Liaodong border wall The influence is also gradually increasing, increasing day by day.

The reason why Li Tu did this was because he heard from his brother who had transferred to Liaodong Province to work as a provincial police inspector, saying that more than half of their recent cases were related to tax resistance, and few businessmen wanted to pay taxes, so Under the urging of Governor Yuan Keli, they went out frantically to arrest and crack down on such businessmen everywhere.

I heard that the provincial tax bureau is very sad because they haven’t received much tax. If they can’t collect the tax, it means their salary will be stopped. How can they pay their salary if they don’t have money? Although this is stipulated by the emperor, Li Tu He did not dare to have any dissatisfaction with the emperor, so he could only try his best to help his brothers solve their job problem.

At the same time, he secretly planned in his heart that if he changed his job in the future, he would not transfer to the local police station even if he died. It would be too tiring and complicated.

However, the number of small tribes he could find was limited, and his activities lasted for a long time. Just when he couldn't find any small tribes for three days and felt bored, a prey just bumped into him.

At the southern foot of the Greater Khingan Mountains and some places west of Zhenbeiguan, there is a large valley. At that time, it was a very convenient passage to the Mongolian Plateau. Lin Danhan often came from there to trade with Liaodong.

There was no need to patrol there, and Huang Taiji would never pass there no matter how funny he was, but the bored Li Tu still sent patrolling cavalry there, just to see if he could catch a blind man. Lin Danhan.

If he was not blind, how could Lin Dan Khan run away from Liaodong?

Well, Li Tu didn't know that what his immediate superior, the great Emperor, wanted to do at the moment was something that only blind Lin Dan Khan could do. If he had known, he would definitely not complain like this in his heart.

However, delusions often come true sometimes. Just like the protagonists in novels, arrogant thoughts can become possible. It just depends on whether you are the protagonist or not.

Li Tu is not the protagonist, he is just an important supporting role, so the person he meets cannot be the blind Lin Dan Khan, but almost the entire tribe of Haraqin and the Zalut tribe and the Bahrain tribe of the five Nekar tribes.

These were all Mongolian tribes close to Huang Taiji. They were desperate for a while and chose to migrate to Liaodong and seek refuge with the Jurchens.

Migration is very normal to Mongolians, just as frequent and common as later generations moving, no, changing jobs.

The five Inner Khalkha tribes originally migrated south from the Halahara River, but their luck was obviously not as good as that of their Outer Khalkha compatriots who moved north to Mobei, both historically and at this point in time.

When Tan Ma reported his confidence to Li Tu, he was almost stunned. He never thought that this was just an unintentional move, but it would be fruitful. Just like the story of waiting for a rabbit, Li Tu's mood at that time

It was the same as the protagonist's feeling when he picked up a rabbit under a tree for the first time.

That kind of unexpected surprise is absolutely no different from winning five million.

In this case, how could Li Tu let it go? He quickly mobilized his troops and went to block the door with all his troops. Fortunately, the opponent had not walked out of the valley yet, but was in the distance.

There are still more than ten miles to camp at the mouth of the valley.

After seeing this situation, Li Tu immediately felt happy and wanted to die like this. No wonder he, General Tu, was so ruthless that he cooked a pot for you.

Immediately, Li Tu set off with his army, and a horse-riding camp came, which directly dispersed the entire camp, and then massacred them easily. As for the 40,000 cavalrymen of the two tribes, they were not in Li Tu's eyes at all.

As an ordinary herdsman gathering, a charge and a volley of guns can solve the problem.

Even after he dispersed the opponent's cavalry, he didn't feel anything. He just felt that there were too many herdsmen guards and he couldn't kill them all. However, that was all. In Li Tu's eyes, the leather armor on their bodies was worn out.

It's like wearing nothing.

After killing tens of thousands of people, especially Karaqin, Zalut, and the remaining nobles of the Bahrain tribe, they surrendered with their herdsmen and slaves. What would they do if they didn't surrender? The leaders and nobles of the various tribes who had been in charge of the counterattack, as well as the nobles who died tragically in

Under the Ming army's charge again and again, they would only achieve the same result if they did not surrender.

The Mongolian nobles surrendered simply, but it was much more troublesome for Li Tu to accept them. With so many tribes together, although there were still not as many as the Chahar people, they were indispensable. There were more than 200,000 to 300 thousand people.

It has a population of ten thousand.

Cattle, sheep, horses and the like also started at 100,000. This harvest exceeded Zhang Shize's harvest from intercepting the Chahar tribe.

At this point, the entire left wing of Monan Mongolia, except for half of the Chahar tribe that escaped and Horqin further north, was almost wiped out by the Ming Dynasty. All the cattle, sheep and horses accumulated over the years were also wiped out.

Returned to Zhu Youxiao.

Half of Southern Mongolia and nearly a million of various livestock were worth the military expenses of this expedition, not to mention the hidden war dividends that followed. This time, Zhu Youxiao's mouth was almost full of food.

, different from the pure expenditure in the Battle of Ningyuan, the apparent gains this time exceeded the military expenditure of nearly 10 million silver dollars.

However, just like the problems faced by Zhang Shize, Li Tu also faced the problem of how to manage a population of nearly 300,000 and carry so many supplies.

Fortunately, although the two men were in different locations, they both discovered the existence of Han slaves without exception, and activated them without hesitation, using them as managers to connect all the herdsmen.

The only difference from Zhang Shize is that this time it was Li Tu who discovered and activated it himself. Obviously, compared to Li Tu's bloodthirsty killing, Zhang Shize appears to be much kinder. Although the two men's combat effectiveness in the war charge

The same, but Li Tu's appearance is obviously more crazy and ferocious.
