Cao Bianjiao was like a god of death, he was so fierce that he almost shot at Hai Ridong's guards one by one.

During the pursuit, he killed 29 of the 31 guards by himself.

The last two guards were so frightened that they fled for their lives. They didn't care about Hai Ridong's life or death.

At this time, about thirty steps in front of Cao Bianjiao, only the brave Hai Ridong, the leader of the Gongtu tribe, was left desperately urging his horse to escape.

Cao Bianjiao is a human being after all, and at this time he is also exhausted and his speed is getting slower and slower, but Hai Ridong's situation is not much better.

There was no war and it was winter. Hai Ridong's horse was fed only hay and had traveled more than 30 kilometers. No matter how hard he beat the horse, the speed of his horse was still getting slower and slower.

In order to raid the Tatars, the tiger and leopard mounted war horses were fed fine food for days. At this time, the relationship between the quality of life of the war horse and its endurance was reflected, because Cao Bianjiao was shortening the distance between him and Hai Ridong.

When Cao Bianjiao was only a dozen steps away from Hai Ridong, Hai Ridong saw that he could not escape. He drew out the sword from his waist and prepared to fight the Ming army in a life-or-death duel.

Hai Ridong didn't believe how much fighting power General Ming still had after killing more than twenty of his guards in a row.

But just as he was about to turn his horse around to fight Cao Bianjiao, he suddenly felt something hit him hard in the back of his heart, and something seemed wrong in his chest.

Hai Ridong hurriedly lowered his head to check, only to find a bloody spear point more than half a foot long protruding from his chest. The leader of the Tatar tribe who had harassed the Ming Dynasty for many years shouted in resignation:

"Who is coming?"

"Your grandfather is Cao Bianjiao, the deputy commander of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Cao Bianjiao, I will remember you..."

After Hai Ridong found out whose hands he died, he opened his mouth and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood and died!

Cao Bianjiao urged his horse to come to his side, jumped off his horse and chopped off Hai Ridong's head with his sword, then sat on the snow and gasped for air...

To deal with the Gongtu Tribe, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry led by Cao Bianjiao barely fired a shot and used the cavalry shock tactics that the Mongols were good at, and the tribe with two thousand cavalry was wiped out.

The white snow on the grassland where Gongtubu was killed turned to red, and in the end it was all burned with fire. After a full meal, they returned with all the animals in Gongtubu.

The other Tiger and Leopard Cavalry and the fierce tiger Shanxi Army led by Zhang Shize also gained a lot. They wiped out the small Mongolian tribes near Xuanda and Zhangjiakou one by one.

If it weren't for the cold winter, it would be almost impossible to do this. People were grazing everywhere and it would be difficult to find them one by one. However, because of the cold weather, they all gathered together to spend the winter, which gave the Ming army the best chance.

After this battle, the left wing of the Chahar tribe and the right wing of the Tumote tribe were almost destroyed, and all the small Tatar tribes close to the Xuanda line of the Ming Dynasty were wiped out.

The robbery was a great success. The three armies obtained more than 90,000 war horses, more than 60,000 cattle, more than 10,000 mules and horses, and more than 200,000 sheep...

Nowadays, most of the tribes in Mongolia have surrendered to the Jiannu. Before the Jiannu are not ready to fight the Ming Dynasty again, the Mongolian tribes should not dare to go south and actively provoke the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Jian Nu was recruiting troops in North Korea. According to historical development, he would not enter the Pass again for plunder until the 11th year of Chongzhen. Historically, Lu Xiangsheng also died in Julu during Jian Nu's entry into the Pass.

But at this time, the Ming Dynasty was completely different from the late Ming Dynasty in history. Because Zhu Cixiang vigorously provided disaster relief, Li Zicheng could no longer respond to one call.

Perhaps in the near future, Li Zicheng will be surrounded and annihilated in Shaanxi and Gansu by Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers, Sun Chuanting's Qin army and Hong Chengchou's command.

Capital

Happy laughter could be heard from time to time in a dilapidated shack. This kind of laughter had never appeared before.

This shack is the home of Yang Bao, a refugee family who came from Henan to beg.

My mother and grandmother starved to death on the road, and now my father and younger siblings are the only ones at home.

Yesterday, the Crown Prince sent an order to the new recruits of the national defense army to have a seven-day holiday, and to give each recruit a military salary of five taels of silver. Yang Bao's original military salary was only three taels, which was equivalent to an extra two taels of silver.

According to the new recruitment regulations of the National Defense Army, field soldiers are paid one and a half taels of silver a month, soldiers are paid three taels a month during training, and once they pass the training test and become combat soldiers, they are paid five taels of silver a month.

All the new recruits in training want to become warriors. Not only do warriors earn high salaries, but they can also get promoted and make a fortune by fighting with the crown prince.

Although there are risks for soldiers, they are not afraid of death since they choose to join the army.

When he got the five taels of silver, Yang Bao was so excited that he burst into tears and immediately ran to buy half a bag of rice and half a bag of white flour.

In addition, he bought three kilograms of pork and two sets of semi-used clothes for his younger brothers and sisters. In the end, he only left one tael of silver to give to his father.

Although they are old clothes that rich people don't wear, they are like new clothes to the younger siblings. The younger sister's clothes are full of holes and she doesn't dare to go out at all.

The younger brothers and sisters put on the so-called new clothes and ate rice and pork happily from ear to ear.

But Father Yang was so happy that he didn't know what to do with the one tael of silver given by his son.

He felt that the money in the shack was not safe anywhere, as if others could steal it at any time.

Finally, he wrapped the silver in a piece of rag and tied it around his waist. Only then did Yang feel safe.

This New Year is going to be very difficult for people like Yang Bao, especially the new recruits of the National Guard Army. They will all have a good New Year after getting the money!

This New Year, many people are thanking the Crown Prince. The recruits and veterans are grateful to the Crown Prince. The honest civil and military ministers are grateful to the Crown Prince. The victims in the disaster areas are grateful to the Crown Prince. The common people and refugees who have been allocated fields are grateful to the Crown Prince...

And this New Year, some people also hate the crown prince, of course the gentry, businessmen and corrupt officials. The crown prince blocks their financial and official paths.

Eating is eating. When Lao Yang ate rice, he felt it was as delicious as meat. He couldn't even touch the pork in the pot.

"Dad, you can eat meat. From now on, three taels of military pay will be enough to eat on time every month. Soon we will have to divide the fields. How can we farm if we don't take good care of ourselves..."

Yang Bao comforted his father while adding two pieces of pork to his bowl.

Looking at his sensible son, Yang's eyes turned red with joy:

"Good boy, the Yang family will rely on you from now on. You must train well, otherwise I will be sorry for the crown prince. Without the crown prince, we would have starved to death..."

Yang Bao nodded repeatedly:

"Yeah, dad, don't worry, my son will definitely train well. Although my son's marksmanship is good, he will use firearms every time he can. If he doesn't train well, it won't work.

My son has just made a friend, Zhang Huangyan, a small flag from the Tiger Spray Army. He is very powerful, and his archery and marksmanship skills are very good. My son must be like him..."

Changping

Nowadays, Changping is the best-governed place in the Gyeonggi region. The environment and public security are better than those in the capital. There are almost no thieves in the city.

All this is the credit of two people, Yan Yingyuan and Zhang Shuting.

After Changping was captured by the Jiannu, many wealthy households and landowners and gentry were killed. Some of the landowners and gentry who surrendered to the Jiannu were killed by the crown prince.

In order to restore the lives of the people in Changping and to defend Changping, Zhu Cixiang appointed Yan Yingyuan as the guerrilla general, and Zhang Shuting as the garrison assistant Yan Yingyuan.

After taking office, Yan Yingyuan not only became the chief guard of Changping, but also became the Grand Master of Changping County. He was a civil and military leader.

It has to be said that Yan Yingyuan is indeed very capable. He can do the work of several people by himself, which directly changes Changping's appearance.

Yan Yingyuan recruited 6,000 troops in Changping, and Zhang Shuting was mainly responsible for training new soldiers and maintaining public security in Changping.

As the first batch of veterans of the East Palace Guards, Zhang Shuting also did not disappoint.

Not only did they train the new recruits in a good manner, but they also kept Changping's public security at bay at night.

Although it was too cold to farm, Yan Yingyuan took the lead in allocating the fields in Changping when the crown prince inspected the land.

The land of the guard station was distributed to the new soldiers, and the land of the gentry, landlords and large households was distributed to the common people. Anyone who disobeyed would have their homes raided and executed.

More than 100,000 taels of silver were confiscated from the officers of the guard station, and more than 200,000 taels of silver were confiscated from the gentry and landlords who opposed the land reform.

The money is all stored in the county government warehouse. The six thousand new soldiers are paid and the money for the common people's meals comes from the money confiscated from homes...
