Under the setting sun, wailing sounds spread throughout the fields, mixed with the hoarse cries of crows, making it even more desolate.
The battle is over.
Attacked from both front and back, and with low morale and no fighting spirit, the Tatar army collapsed quickly. Except for some Tatar soldiers on the flanks who took advantage of the chaos and offered no resistance at all. They galloped on their horses while the Ming army was still fighting the remaining Tatar army, and finally managed to escape. The rest of the soldiers were basically not warriors. To die is to be captured.
A total of more than 14,000 heads were obtained, more than 22,000 prisoners were taken, and there were tens of thousands of horses.
Many of Kuk Khan's senior officials were also captured or killed.
More than 20,000 Han people were rescued. When they learned that they were saved, they all burst into tears and cried bitterly.
Looking at the Ming people who were beaten with scars, the soldiers of the Ming army couldn't help but become even more angry. They turned around and treated the captured Tatar army with the same treatment. These former perpetrators were kneeling before them. On the ground, begging the Ming army for forgiveness.
Many soldiers even recognized their relatives on the spot, hugging each other and crying.
In this battle, the Ming army was not without casualties.
Not to mention anything else, the Tatar army's previous fierce attack on the pass caused them a lot of losses. The Tatars lost more than 5,000 people there, but the Ming army also lost 3,000 people.
In the subsequent melee, there were also Tatar soldiers who fought to the death and caused many casualties. The total casualties of the Ming army reached tens of thousands.
After all, the opponent is the brave Tatar cavalry. To be able to achieve such a battle-loss ratio is the ultimate combination of location, harmony and harmony.
…
The chaos in the northern border seemed to be a signal. With the end of the war in the northern border, the wars in various parts of the Ming Dynasty also made breakthrough progress, and the rebels were put down one after another.
Their combat effectiveness is not strong to begin with, but how can they be their opponents against several capable generals? Needless to say, Liu Wei and Liu Dadao, Xiong Tingbi was a ruthless man who gave even Nurhachi a headache in the original time and space. Although Yang Hao has a much wider crotch than the two of them, he has been in the army for decades, and at least he knows how to fight. Those half-assed rebel leaders are far too powerful.
Coupled with equipment logistics and the like, the gap becomes even greater.
The people's hearts are no longer there, but the force cannot keep up, and the outcome is doomed.
In May of the first year of Wuxing, shortly after Yan Shizhao defeated the Wala Army, Xiong Tingbi took the lead in quelling the rebellion in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
In early June, Li Rubai put down the chaos in Henan.
In July, Liu Weiping suppressed the Huguang Rebellion.
The Ming Dynasty, which was full of wars and wars, returned to stability within just one year after Zhu Changxun came to the throne.
This also shows the accuracy of Yan Chenhao's strategy from the side. During the Wanli period, it was not that no one was sent to quell the rebellion, but because the root cause was not removed, there was no way to completely wipe out the rebels. Instead, they fought more and more.
Wanli, in fact, is not unaware of these things. However, he was also fond of money by nature, and he was really reluctant to give up the huge benefits. He refused to give up both sides, which led to uprisings in several provinces of the Ming Dynasty. If we continue like this for a few more years, Ming Dynasty may collapse earlier than the original time and space.
Fortunately, Emperor Wuxing still listened to his teacher.
Now that the roots have been eliminated, the rootless duckweed and the sourceless water will eventually run out.
The Ming Dynasty returned to stability, and the Ming army's deterrent power became even stronger.
Fighting in four battlefields at the same time, and winning great victories everywhere, doesn't this reflect the strength of the Ming Dynasty?
You must know that when the war was raging some time ago, public opinion, especially in the provinces with rebellions and the surrounding provincial capitals, was full of rumors that the buildings would collapse! Unexpectedly, in a blink of an eye, everything was calm.
This time, it was like a direct wave of publicity. Even some people with evil intentions had to weigh their own merits when they saw this. Many people who thought that "the troubled times have come" and could finally "achieve some hegemony" had no choice but to turn off their thoughts and go about their work honestly.
As for the governors and governors in Jisu, they were even more frightened.
Such a big Tatar, an army of 50,000! Across the grassland!
Just such a battle and only ten thousand people could escape?
The house was still in a mess.
I thought the fierce tiger of Ming Dynasty had declined, but I didn't expect it was just a temporary nap! Once it wakes up, its roar will shock the world!
Those prefectures and states that were still loyal to the Ming Dynasty could not help but secretly rejoice in the correctness of their decision and work harder to pay tribute; while the leaders who were almost independent were frightened and hurriedly sent people to pay tribute, while explaining why they had not paid tribute before. In order to pay tribute, he found an excuse such as being threatened by the Tatars, and hurriedly sent people to make up for the cattle, sheep, and horses owed over the years. At the same time, he sent elite warriors to the Ming Dynasty to fight for the emperor of the Celestial Dynasty.
Zhu Changxun happily received their envoys. He did not accept the reasons for being threatened by the Tatars, but sneered and said:
"Why don't you go to heaven? You yourselves know!"
When the envoys below were fighting with each other and worried that he would not be able to get out of the Ming Dynasty alive, Zhu Changxun finally spoke leisurely:
"However, in the hope that you will correct your mistakes and take the initiative to make up for the tribute from previous years, I will forgive you for the time being."
"As long as you work with peace of mind and pay your taxes on time, the heaven will protect you, and the swords of the heavenly soldiers will never point at you."
"However, if you do it again, I will punish you severely and I will never tolerate it!"
When he said the last sentence, Zhu Changxun suddenly opened his eyes and his tone became extremely stern. The envoys below were shocked when they heard it. Thinking of the tragic ending of the Tatar tribe, they trembled all over and kowtowed repeatedly. , saying he didn’t dare.
Zhu Changxun also knew that these people were just outsiders. Now that they were willing to surrender, after being shocked, they naturally accepted them.
Of course, he had no intention of letting them go like this.
In my heart, I have already secretly calculated: in the future, the number of cattle, sheep and horses in these Jisi prefectures, as well as the Mongolian warriors sent to join the Ming army, will be doubled.
There is no price for betraying the Ming Dynasty? Do you really think Daming is easy to fool?
Fortunately, in this way, these restraints will be completely hollowed out, and they will no longer have the strength to betray the Ming Dynasty.
He sneered secretly.
On the other side, Yan Chenhao looked at the emperor's performance and was quite satisfied. He didn't know what Zhu Changxun was thinking, and silently praised the emperor's clever methods.
Not accepting the other party's reasons and telling them that if they dare to rebel again will be punished, this is coercion.
Forgive them and say that as long as the other party is honest, Daming will protect them. This is a favor.
With both kindness and power, Ji Sui will definitely not rebel easily again.
You are worthy of being my disciple! It seems that my teachings were not in vain.
As he thought this, a smile appeared on his face.
