"Congratulations to you for accomplishing such a great cause."

In addition to Sun Yao and others, generals such as Li Congye also rushed over and everyone clasped their fists to congratulate Zhang Han.

After Elinchen and others retreated, everyone smiled.

The time for the troops was not counted. The actual battle was only two days. In two days, the two Mongolian tribes, which had a total of more than 100,000, were conquered.

Everyone felt happy for Zhang Han. People were crowded and wanted to stand beside Zhang Han, but they always had to keep a little distance.

This awe made Zhang Han feel a little lonely invisibly. Many of the people in front of him were old men and had been following him for many years, but at this time he had treated Zhang Han as a standard superior. A little distance would eventually expand into the isolation of the superior and the follower like a barrier. Zhang Han is the king, and everyone is the minister.

Zhang Han did not want this. In his ideal future empire must not be completely centralized. In fact, Chinese politics during the Han and Tang dynasties were also centralized, but it was not as powerful as it was in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The prime minister system must be restored at least, and the monarch and minister should not be too clear.

Of course this is just a wandering idea, and it is too early to think about these things.

From the trapped in Jining Fort to the battle of Xiaohei Shui River, to the arduous shuttle in Mobei, to the conquest of the Quetu Khan tribe, and the confrontation between the Old Zhongdu and Shangyi Fort, Hutchison's war potential has become stronger and stronger, and eventually transformed into this extremely brilliant war in front of him.

In two days, two major tribes that conquered more than 100,000 people. Even if such a thing was reported to the Ming Dynasty, how many people in the world dare to believe it?

It can be said that after conquering the Taomen and recovering the Hetao region, the passive beating situation of the Ming Dynasty for more than a hundred years has been completely reversed.

Even the strategic significance of many military towns such as Ningxia, Yulin, Guyuan, and Shanxi Datong were seriously weakened.

These military towns mainly target the Tumote tribes, that is, the major tribes including the Tao tribes, and the attacks of these tribes are also preventing problems.

Now these tribes have been completely destroyed and controlled by Hutchison. More than half of the military towns in the Ming Dynasty have lost their strong enemies for more than a hundred years, and it can be said that they have no enemies at all.

The Qiangtang tribes are a looser alliance of dozens of tribes, and the Qiangtang people are quite closed and conservative, and they also believe in the Red Sect or the Yellow Sect. They have no intention of making progress at all.

If it weren't for Hu Ji, the western border towns of the Ming Dynasty could have been removed.

But Zhang Han can be sure that towns such as Yulin and Ningxia will not only not abolish them, but will also make appropriate strengthening.

The Mongols who had always been worried and afraid were eliminated, but the ones who eliminated these northern enemies were stronger and more worrying forces. Now that most of the grassland has changed their masters, they are richer, more enterprising, and have a stronger army. What is bad is that they have a better political system and relatively sufficient talents for people. They know that any point of the Ming monarch will not be able to sleep at night. Even if they don’t know the inside story, when they know that Hutchison recovered Hetao, Emperor Tianqi will definitely feel deep panic and fear.

For the current Ming monarch, all he had to do was to keep the status quo and even show goodwill to Heji. Zhang Han's thoughts were vague and suddenly smiled slightly.

The generals present didn't know what Zhang Han was laughing at, but everyone laughed together.

After this battle, everyone's awe of Zhang Han became deeper. After Zhang Han made a plan, the war was over in two days. Who would dare to believe it beforehand?

The surrender of at least 30,000 people in the Tak Division surrendered under the dual pressure of the Shang regiment army and the Ming army. Some had to surrender long ago, while others were forced to suffer heavy pressure.

There are still many people who want to continue this tribal army that has been fighting, but in such a situation, it is difficult for the gods to save the situation. The key is that several places have been cut off, and the traps cannot form a whole. Even Huo Luochi ran away and there is no effective command. How can I fight this battle?

"Report to the Lord," an officer arrived and reported: "Huo Luochi was caught."

"Oh, where did you catch it?"

"In the area of ​​Huichengzi, he wanted to disguise himself as an ordinary herder and run eastward, but was trapped by the hunting cavalry."

Zhang Han thought for a while and said, "Take it back to Qingcheng and leave it to the Military and Justice Department for trial."

Everyone didn't care much. Before going to war, Zhang Hanxiaoyu passed the Tak and E tribes, and even if he surrendered at the last moment, he could be treated well. However, Huo Luochi insisted on resisting and finally wanted to escape. Of course, he could not get courtesy. He was waiting for the fate of this stubborn old Taiji to be unpredictable, which depends on what kind of judgment the Military and Justice Department made.

Zhang Han had no intention of affecting the judgment, and he would sign and execute it no matter what the result was.

"The army quickly sent the prisoners to the Qingcheng area to be resettled. We need manpower in the north and west." Zhang Han said in contemplation: "Try to use the people in the Tao Ministry to mines and road construction, and the people in the Yu Ministry to farm and grazing. They can be used in fragments. The Hetao area is not allowed to come back. We will use this large area to farm and attract more people to come here."

Zhang Han had no intention of destroying the ecology on a large scale, but it was impossible for the Hetao area to be given to the Mongols. In addition to a few places to grow grain, it can plant a large number of cash crops, or even trees.

The key is to introduce abortion and establish a trest. This large area is at least 50 or 60 counties in the mainland. Zhang Han plans to rebuild four counties, each county can have two to three counties and about 30,000 pure Han people's farming, which is enough.

As long as it is included in the Hutchison trading system, the Hetao area guarded by more than 100,000 people will sooner or later develop and prosper. Fifty or a hundred years later, dozens of counties may appear there. Of course, Zhang Han would have been gone long ago, but it would be enough to leave such a mark in history even if there is no higher and greater cause.

Of course, Zhang Han still had to defend what he did. The Ming army was not worthy of trouble and there were no strong enemies in the west. Zhang Han decided to set up several large military forts in the Dusitu River and Baichengzi area, establish a series of fire road piers, leaving about two thousand cavalry garrisons to guard it, and with five or six thousand baggages, the entire Hetao area was stabilized.

"The rest time is set to be three days."

Zhang Han set a rest time longer than the war. This battle was quite smooth due to the silver bullet offensive. Otherwise, even if he broke through the defense line and chased and suppressed the herdsmen who were running away in all directions, it would have to be calculated monthly. It doesn’t matter if the small group of deserters were, and if the enemy who had more than 10,000 people were unable to be relieved if he did not go to wipe out the enemy, so the 300,000 flowers were not only worth the value, but also the value.

"The rest time seems to be a little short?" Li Congye asked cautiously.

"It's not long, it's a bit long, but considering the fatigue and tension of the soldiers, and we have to travel through the desert and move back, and to stabilize the situation and show the strength of the army, it's only three days." Faced with the questions, Zhang Han explained in detail.

"Sir," Li Congye said carefully: "You want to rush over the East Line?"

"Yes." Zhang Han pondered: "This time I fought so urgently and so nervous, mainly because I considered the possible changes on the Eastern Front."

"In the western part of Liao, isn't it said that the Jurchens are still planning to attack Ningyuan?" Li Congye said: "If Ningyuan is captured, the door will be closed and the pressure will be directly under the pressure of the Donglu. At this time, it will be difficult for the Donglu to escape. The temptation is right in front of you, and few people can control it."

Zhang Han nodded and said, "This is indeed, but I believe Ning Yuan will keep it."

"Is this my intuition?" Li Congye asked cautiously.

Zhang Han's intuition is already quite famous in the senior management of Hutchison. Zhang Han made incredible decisions in many things, but the final result is exactly the same as Zhang Han's judgment. Every time the result is Zhang Han's victory, which makes many people crazy. Li Shenming and Sun Jingting have asked Zhang Han why he made judgments that everyone could not imagine. Zhang Han often reacts just to make a haha. If it really doesn't work, it's intuition. Anyway, no one can get into his brain to find out the truth or falsehood.

This time Zhang Han did not intend to push this matter to his intuition. After all, going on is a comprehensive mobilization of the entire military command and military system, so it is not easy to use such an inscrutable statement.

Zhang Han said: "This time it's not intuition, but judgment. I have seen Ningyuan City. The city is high and narrow. According to the report of the Thirteen Mountains Marine Department, Ningyuan City has now stuffed 30,000 people. One battlement is enough to stand for two people. It's not even possible to use a ladder to attack the city. If you want to use a chariot, there are more than 20 red barbarian cannons at the top of Ningyuan City. This cannon is equal to our twelve-pound cannons, each weighing more than 5,000 kilograms. When it is fired, the earth shakes. No matter how strong the fighting will and siege equipment of the Donglu are, it is impossible to defeat the red barbarian cannons. In addition, the military preparations in the city are Yuan Chonghuan, who is known as a barbarian and has a strong will. This is the second. The key is that he can control the army. Whether it is Zu Dashou, Mangui, or Zhu Mei, they will be firmly controlled by him. A scattered army and a banned army are definitely two different levels, and they will also bring completely different performances.

Li Congye was silent for a long time, probably imagining what Ningyuan City looked like in his mind.

A small city with a circumference of three miles is high and solid. Nearly 30,000 soldiers are stuffed inside. They are all elite soldiers in Liao Town with very well-equipped and sufficient wages and equipment. There are also civil officials who have always been decisive in the battle to guard the dissatisfaction and conflicts between the generals. There are twelve-pound cannons standing on the top of the city. The city has sufficient food and salary, so the morale is definitely not low.

"The old slave is about to hit his head and he is bleeding." Li Congye's words were filled with gloating.

Zhang Han shook his head and said, "They won't suffer too much. If they attack the city, they will always have the chance to capture it. If they can't catch it, they will lose it. If they touch it, they will know that they can't be defeated. They might as well retreat. The Donglu have gained a lot in western Liaoning, and their combat power will increase significantly. In the past two years, due to natural disasters and the energy consumed by the old slaves will be replenished a lot."

Before Li Congye could speak, Sun Yao continued: "I understand. The Lord is worried that the Eastern Barbarians will not be able to conquer the western part of Liao, nor will they lose their morale and military force, and they will also obtain a large amount of military equipment, money and food. When the summer is in the future, they will use troops to the grassland."
