There is no need to chase the young and middle-aged people who ran away. As long as they control their wives, children and children, I believe that the vast majority of them will surrender voluntarily.
We paid the price of three deaths, two serious injuries, and seven minor injuries. The leader of this tribe and the men in their family would definitely not survive.
It is impossible for Huang Yi to do such dirty work. Those old knights are very familiar with this kind of work.
The resisters had to pay a price. Not only was the leader's family liquidated, but all the property of the fallen men was confiscated, and all the children of the family were given to the knights who had done meritorious service as slaves.
Of course, Huang Dazhi, Huang Dayong, etc. were responsible for cleaning up the property. They found a total of one hundred and dozens of taels of silver, thirty-odd taels of gold, and some gold and silverware.
Not all of them were found in the yurt of the tribal leader. The nobles of this tribe also had some gold and silver in their homes.
Huang Yi finally understood why Boar Skin continued to fight until the first few months before his pigtails were raised.
Robbery brings in money too quickly!
In this battle, many cattle, sheep and horses were also captured, a pair of iron armor, more than 20 pairs of leather armor, and cotton armor were seized, and more than 30 Han slaves were rescued.
Reward those with merit!
The knight under Huang Yi's leadership, Crow Mobo, killed two enemies in formation and got the armor. He was so happy that he knelt at Huang Yi's feet and kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic.
There were more than twenty pairs of leather armors. Except for Huang Dazhi who put away seven pairs, the rest basically rewarded the knights in the first and second echelons. It was absolutely fair and just.
Huang Yi has long realized the importance of armor.
I want to save some leather armor or cotton armor.
If there is an opportunity, we must vigorously develop firearms troops, and training in loading and firing matchlocks is a top priority.
At this time, the matchlock gun had a slow rate of fire, no accuracy, and a worrying range. Compared with the bows and arrows of Jiannu, the advantages were not obvious.
If the arquebusiers are skilled in loading and firing, and can respond calmly during a confrontation, the musketeers can overwhelm the cold weapon troops.
However, the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty's field battle with Jiannu was that the army collapsed, defeated again and again, and no longer had the courage to fight against Jiannu in the field.
If the matchlock gunners of the Ming army could all wear leather or cotton armor, they would definitely be able to resist the spread of feather arrows.
If we can strictly implement the three-stage attack tactics, we will never lose to the cold weapon troops.
In the final analysis, the Ming Party's tendency to fight against dissidents and become corrupt has become rotten to the core...
Whether a regime has hope or not can be seen on the faces of the enslaved Han people.
They were all numb, like walking zombies, and had no feeling about having a new master.
But after meeting more than 170 Han people and eating a roast mutton meal with them, most of them cried.
I have been a slave for so long that I no longer have the memory of having a full stomach. This is really the first time that I have such a big mouthful of plump mutton.
"Can you really fill your stomach with the new master?"
Too many newly rescued Han slaves raised questions.
"Yes!" Huang Dazhi, Huang Dayong, Qi Dashan and other young men answered without hesitation.
"If everyone is full, the master will be impoverished!"
Some Han slaves did not believe it at all.
Huang Dayong explained: "So everyone must work harder! We must also dare to take up arms and fight against the slaves and Tatars like us!"
A young man named Li Wanquan said: "We didn't dare before because we didn't have enough to eat and didn't have the strength. If we really have enough to eat, we dare to fight for it!"
Huang Dazhi laughed and said: "Haha... It's just a good idea to eat well, but we don't believe it!"
Including Li Wanquan, seven or eight younger Han slaves blushed and said in unison: "If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"
Huang Dayong joked: "You are so skinny as a bear, you are either fighting for your life or risking your life!"
Li Wanquan was unconvinced and said: "I am very hungry. I was a strong man three years ago! Even two or three people may not be able to beat me."
Huang Dazhi asked: "What did you do before?"
"Embarrassed to say."
A Han man who must be familiar with Li Wanquan said disdainfully: "You have become a slave, what else are you embarrassed about? If you don't tell them, I will tell them."
"Zhao San, you don't need to talk much, I will say it myself..."
Li Wanquan used to be an artilleryman in the Ming army. After being defeated and captured, he was unwilling to fire on Paoze, so he concealed his identity as an artilleryman and was assigned as an ordinary infantryman to an armored slave.
Later, because the food of the slaves was not enough to eat, many Han Aha used it to exchange cattle and sheep with the Mongols, including Li Wanquan and Zhao San.
Zhao San's name is Zhao Yong. He used to be a gunman in the Ming army. After being captured, he was still a slave.
That's because there were too many Ming soldiers captured during the Boar Skin period, and they couldn't possibly recruit them all. Only a small number were left as Han soldiers, and the vast majority were assigned to armored slaves.
The vast majority of the slaves did not know how to farm, and they did not bother to farm, but there were many fields, and those who farmed them were captured Han Aha, including many captured Ming soldiers.
Huang Dazhi and others were surprised to find two former slaves of the Ming army. They immediately asked the young and middle-aged Han people from the Kachagute tribe.
There are only a few.
It's just that they are not gunners or gunners, nor are they cavalry.
This is in line with common sense. The Ming army should be composed of 30% cavalry and 70% infantry. After a defeat, the cavalry had an obvious advantage in escaping, and the infantry was basically abandoned.
Things are rare and valuable. The Ming army's cavalry captured by Jiannu will definitely be incorporated into the Han army first, and it is impossible for the cavalry to farm the land.
A man named Zuo Guanghu used to be a sword and shield bearer of the Ming Dynasty, and Yue Mufei and Yao Yongchao were both spearmen.
Sword, shield, and spearmen are the most common and most numerous types of soldiers, and they are also the cheapest to train.
However, the sword and shield hand teamed up with the spearmen to deal with the Mongolian light cavalry entirely based on their ability.
Qiu Xingshun was a soldier in the Shandong Guards. He was the most unlucky. He went to Liaodong just to work shifts. His main job was to work as a coolie to build cities and military fortresses.
The Ming Dynasty's guard army had degenerated to the point where it was no different than farmers and craftsmen. Qiu Xingshun's family had no connections and he went to Liaodong for labor service three times in shifts.
Things didn't go as planned. During the third construction of the city, Qiu Xingshun was captured by Jiannu.
The first task after being captured was not to repair the city, but to demolish it.
Therefore, Qiu Xingshun basically has no fighting skills, but he is good at building cities and demolishing walls.
Will someone like him be loyal to Ming Dynasty?
Definitely not, because his family is at the bottom of the Guard Army and lives a hard life, often going hungry and being bullied.
Otherwise, how could he, a Shandong native, go to Liaodong to build a city and be captured by the builders and become a slave?
Li Wanquan must be a bit bloody. He was a slave and gave preferential treatment to the Ming army gunners. If he surrendered to the slaves, he would not be a slave.
But he was unwilling to shoot at Pao Ze, and would rather be a slave, which is evident.
They were both reduced to being human beings at the end of the world, and they were reduced to being slaves. Finally, they were not beaten or scolded, and could comfortably eat meat and chat around the fire.
Too many Han people talk about the sadness of being slaves, and about the companions who died of hunger and cold...
