Chapter 405: The world is shocked and the world is silent

Abatai went through many battles in his life, including glorious victories such as Sarhu and Songshan, as well as complete defeats such as yesterday and today.

He can really be called old and stronger. Apart from the death of his parent-child Yue Le's mental breakdown at the last moment, Abatai is always there, looking for opportunities to defeat, turnaround and escape, and recover from madness. Perhaps he is looking for the only chance to escape in this death situation.

But all Abatai's calmness collapsed under Li Meng's words. As soon as he heard this, Abatai was furious and wanted to rush to the arrogant enemy general and cut the opponent into pieces.

But in a flash, Abatai thought that the other party was not wrong at all. After two days of fighting, the Manchu and Mongolian soldiers were actually far inferior to the Ming army in front of him. Now, the army full of cavalry actually made the other party's army, mainly infantry, fight an annihilation battle. This huge gap is indeed unworthy.

At this time, the defeated army and lost their son, the despair really surged into his heart. At this moment, a sledgehammer seemed to hit Abatai's chest heavily.

At this moment, Abatai finally looked like an old man in his fifties. His body shook violently. He hurriedly inserted the knife in his hand to the ground, but his waist was hunched down. Finally, he couldn't help but spurted out a mouthful of blood, and coughed louder there. The more he coughed, the louder the sound, as if he was about to spit out all the air in his body.

As he coughed, Abatai knelt directly on the ground and started crying loudly. This time his extreme mood was not crazy, but the howling of despair.

"Taizu...Ama... Our Qing Dynasty is over!!!"

Such barbarians in the north must take advantage of the many disasters and difficulties of the Central Plains Empire and become increasingly weak before they can develop a career. If this empire is still strong, then waiting for the fate of the Jurchens who are not the nomadic barbarians will definitely be a disaster. Abatai naturally understands this truth.

Kneeling there, he let out a howl of despair like a wild beast. For Li Meng and others who were immediately surrounded him, Abatai's behavior was just a clumsy third-rate performance, ridiculous and despicable, and not worthy of pity at all.

Looking at Abatai's ugly appearance below, Li Meng immediately sneered:

"Look at it, this is the Eastern Barbarians who are afraid of the tigers in the Ming Dynasty. A sage once said that all the evil people in the land that are enemies of China are paper tigers, and they can be broken by one stab. Look at the disgusting appearance of the thief in front of you. Isn't that the case!?"

The generals of the Jiaozhou camp system naturally agreed with the words of the general. For them who moved from victory to victory, the Tartar soldiers and horses in front of them were indeed paper tigers and were not worth mentioning at all. Since the end of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, they have fought with the Eastern Eagle Jurchens outside the pass, but they have never had any victory and have suffered great defeats in succession.

Over the years, the Tartars have been repeatedly entered into the pass. The Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses are also weak and ugly. What does this mean? It means that the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses are even less worth mentioning. Compared to this paper tiger, this paper-based tiger has a tiger appearance. What are the rest of the Ming Dynasty's soldiers and horses that are worse than this paper tiger?

Compared with these military generals, Yuan Wenhong, the chief clerk of Jiaozhou camp, racked his brains to figure out who the philosopher was. If he was really a wise philosopher, it seemed that this would not be so simple. And even if it was replaced by classical Chinese, no one seemed to have said it. He was a scholar and always had a preference for textual research on classics, but a rare allusion that the commander said today completely stumped Yuan Wenhong, a famous Shandong scholar.

"Wang Tao, come up!!"

No matter where Li Meng was crying, Abatai, raised his head and said loudly. Wang Tao, who had been at the end of the military generals, hurriedly rode his horse to Li Meng. He was full of posture and saluted respectfully. When Li Meng saw Wang Tao, he smiled on his face, nodded and said with a smile:

"How is your firearm shooting?"

"If you go back to the general, Beizhi's musket shooting results are excellent!"

Wang Tao has also been a personal soldier by Li Meng's side. You should know that the general's personal soldier's requirements for various military skills are excellent or above. Wang Tao naturally has this level. He doesn't know what the meaning of Li Meng's question is, but he still answers loudly with a full sense of enthusiasm.

The fire of the musket is excellent. It charges and fires by itself at a constant speed of 120 numbers, and can shoot out three or four bullets. In the effective range, nine out of ten shots are. Of course, as a target, it is much larger than modern targets.

"Get a foot war gun!"

Li Meng ordered again, Wang Hai next to him took the musket from a soldier under the horse and handed it to Li Meng. Li Meng handed it to Wang Tao again and said:

"Get the musket and knock this thief chief out of me!!"

Wang Tao took the musket with both hands. Although he was a little confused about the command of the commander, he still checked the ammunition in a straightforward manner. He held the strip and tamped it a few times. He blew the fuse hanging on the bird's beak and hooked it on the ground. This was aiming at Abatai, who was about twenty steps away, aimed at and pulled the trigger.

With a "touch", Abatai's cry stopped abruptly. He opened his mouth and looked forward with his hands as if he wanted to grab something, but he didn't catch anything. He made a horrible sound in his throat and fell directly to the ground.

Zhao Neng was still a little confused about the reason why Li Meng arranged this way, but Wang Hai, who was smart, understood it. Of course, it was not necessary to say that Yuan Wenhong. Everyone had a tacit smile on their faces, and there was a little more enviousness in their eyes when they looked at Wang Tao.

The death of Abatai, the commander of the Ming army of the Tartars, marked a complete victory in the battle. It was indeed an extremely perfect victory. None of the 37,000 Tartar troops were released and were annihilated by the Jiaozhou army on the battlefield between Jingzhou and Nanpi County. In this kind of war, the enemy's chief generals and senior officers can often escape. After all, in such a large battle, these small teams may not be able to take into account both.

But the enemy commander was surrounded and was sentenced to death with great difficulty. This was not easy, but it was a real victory.

Everyone exchanged a few glances with each other, and the joy and smile on their faces could not be suppressed. They immediately bowed to congratulate Li Meng:

"I wish the general to win and wipe out the Tartars. I wish the general to win the mighty victory!!"

Wang Tao, who had just shot Abatai, shouted very loudly. Li Meng's face, which had always been calm, also smiled and said loudly:

"You all have made a lot of efforts in this battle. My Jiaozhou Camp is mighty and my Jiaozhou Camp is thousands of victories!!"

After Li Meng said this, the cavalrymen who had been around here all shouted loudly and shouted in unison:

"The great commander is mighty and the Jiaozhou Camp has won thousands of victories!!"

The shout of victory spread rapidly. The entire battlefield was quickly filled with such shouts, and the killing and fighting were soon over. Ten thousand pigs might not be easy to catch, but ten thousand Donglu Tartar soldiers were killed very quickly. Now is the time for the soldiers of Jiaozhou camp to enjoy the joy of victory. Everyone was shouting, everyone was cheering, and everyone was cheering. They tried their best to express the excitement and joy in their hearts.

The sun was already westward, and the wind gradually became stronger, and a strong smell of blood floated from the battlefield. At this time, even Yuan Wenhong didn't feel that this smell would be stimulating. It smelled like a physical and mental state of mind and was extremely happy.

At this moment, Li Meng suddenly thought of the two sentences written by Yue Fei in Manjianghong in Song Dynasty: "Hungry ambition to eat the meat of the barbarians, laugh at the thirst and drink the blood of the Huns." At this moment, Li Meng understood these two sentences with great depth, and his heart was also bursting with a burst of heroic spirit. For a moment, he felt that the ambition and passion were all at this moment.

Li Meng could not suppress the pleasure in his heart and laughed loudly. The spirit of his commander Li Meng was flying and passionately, which made the generals and soldiers in Jiaozhou camp even more excited. The shouts on the battlefield became louder and louder, like a tsunami.

In such a bloody battlefield, there were a lot of crows beside each other, waiting in the sky to bite the flesh and blood of the corpse. These crows were alarmed by these laughters and flew around.

Just like the sudden appearance at night, the shouts of the entire Jiaozhou camp turned into those four words without any psychological barriers. Everyone was shouting loudly, knocking on the ground with the weapons in their hands. This was the joy of victory, this was the shouting in the heart. Everyone shouted the same voice:

"Long live Jiaozhou Camp, long live the Grand Marshal, long live the Grand Marshal!!!"

Unlike the soldiers who were not very scheming, the generals and strategists under the commander dare not shout and move around. The key point is that they also don’t know whether it will make the general unhappy if they don’t shout at this time. For a moment, except for Li Meng’s joy and joy, everyone else was hesitating.

On the contrary, Wang Tao, the general of Dengzhou Army, was full of energy and shouted loudly there:

"Long live the Grandmaster, long live the Grandmaster!!!"

When everyone saw that the expression on Li Meng's face remained unchanged, they shouted loudly with confidence. The strategist Yuan Wenhong even took the horse forward a few steps, bowed deeply at the moment, and said in a solemn voice:

"Master, such a tiger-bearing army is where the king's foundation is. Master, who follows the will of heaven..."

When the literati persuaded him to enter, there were all kinds of methods. However, Li Meng's smile faded and he said calmly:

"Mr. Yuan, it's not appropriate to say this at this time, so don't talk about it."

Yuan Wenhong suddenly felt a stalemate, but he just came back to the national flavor at random. Li Meng's words were mysterious. The word "this time" had a lot of articles. Yuan Wenhong reacted quickly and quickly bowed and said blaming himself:

"It's the student Meng Lang, so I'll ask the commander to atone for his sins."

Li Meng didn't mention this matter at all. He re-emerged the gentle smile on his face and said in a loud voice:

"Mr. Yuan, the general of this commander, Wang Tao, the general of the fifth battalion of the Dengzhou Army, killed the thief chief Abatai in the battle formation, and fought in the northern Zhili, and was the first to be the best. This person is loyal and cautious in his daily life, with excellent combat skills and great use. He was specially promoted to the Thousand General of the Fifth Battalion of the Dengzhou Army and was the deputy general of the Dengzhou Army... Let's send it out in the name of the General Zhendong Shogunate, inform the entire army, and report to the Ministry of War at the same time, get a document and order a guerrilla!"

Yuan Wenhong was originally very good at remembering his skills. After following Li Meng, he received sufficient training. At this time, he couldn't take out the paper and pen in a hurry, but he just remembered it silently there.

When everyone heard the promotion of the Qiangmai of the Battle of the Cang, they felt that it was normal. With such a contribution, it was also a matter of promotion from the Chief Executive to the Qiangmai. However, everyone exclaimed after the promotion. The deputy general of the First Army, and the deputy general of the Dengzhou Army, who was an old-fashioned establishment in the Jiaozhou Camp, were truly promoted to the top.

There are hundreds of thousands of generals in Jiaozhou Camp, which is the peak that more than 100,000 soldiers of Jiaozhou Camp can climb to. Going up, the main generals and deputy generals of each army, as well as the commanders of the horse army, the navy army, and the artillery team. This is a glass ceiling, and requires a very coincidental and special opportunity to be promoted.

At that time, Gaoke led his troops to resist the siege of thousands of horse bandits in Shuyang. Now he is the deputy general of the Huai Yang Army. Zhang Jiang won the first place in the Jiaozhou Army's entire army competition. Now he is the chief general of the Yanzhou Army. Jiang Xianchuo is still loyal in the predicament and investigates through life and death. Now he is the deputy leader of the Shandong Salt Gang.

Today, Wang Tao gathered the team among the chaotic army to stabilize the situation and was promoted to the deputy general of the Dengzhou Army in Jiaozhou. Everyone was shocked and envious at first. Then they thought that this was taken for granted.

Everyone has heard Zhao Neng introduce the situation at that time. If Wang Tao had not stood up and shouted with a spear, the entire Dengzhou military camp would have collapsed and collapsed under this situation. It would have been a glorious victory today. In a sense, this was indeed the first achievement!

Zhao Neng, the general of the Dengzhou military, was very open-minded. When he heard such a high-selling appointment, he didn't think anything was wrong. Instead, he was very happy. He immediately patted Wang Tao's shoulder vigorously and said with a smile:

"From the future, we brothers will work together, work hard, haha..."

After slapping a few times, Wang Tao reacted and quickly turned over from the horse, knelt in front of Li Meng's horse. He kowtowed continuously. He was so excited that he trembled all over and said loudly:

"The great... the great general is so kind. He is a humble position and is swearing to die for the Jiaozhou Camp and to die for the Great General!!"

"If you have merits, you should be rewarded. If you do it well in the future, Jiaozhou Camp will not treat anyone who has meritorious people injustice."

At this time, Wang Tao was so grateful that he didn't know what to say, but he just kowtowed and thanked him repeatedly. Li Meng smiled and shook his head. The promotion of the carp leaping over the dragon gate would indeed make people excited. However, during this battle, Li Meng also found a problem. Compared with the commander and generals of the army below, especially those generals from Li Meng's personal military camp, there was no difference in command ability and tactical thinking.

In a sense, the personal soldiers who came out of the personal soldiers may be even better, because except for Ma Gang, the mainland generals in the Jiaozhou camp system are almost all the generals taught and led by Li Meng. The personal soldiers who have been systematically trained and absorbed more combat experience around Li Meng may actually be better in controlling the situation and command.

However, this idea is just a change in mind. After all, the army's commander is not something that anyone can do with the ability. This is a group of people at stake and there are many things to consider.

"In the future, you will also be the deputy general of the army and the local government. There is no need to be so polite. Our army rules are not so many mothers and mothers. Come on the horse quickly!"

Li Meng comforted Wang Tao's excitement, turned around but said awkwardly to the commander of the Ma Army, Tang Er, who was beside him. This time he had no smile, his voice was very plain, and he said:

"You have made such a flower head today. Your horse army made a lot of contributions in this battle, but because of this, I will not reward you. Now you will lead your horse soldiers to sort out all the horses and harnesses that can be used on the battlefield. Every Tartar soldier, human body, the weapons that can be used immediately, and all the valuable things that can be used by horse harnesses are put together for me."

It would take a lot of effort to pack up such a large battlefield. Tang Er's face turned bitter at that time. The troops directly under the commander-in-chief spent too much time in front of Li Meng on weekdays and acted a little casually. Just as he was about to plead, he heard Li Meng continue to say:

"These horses, horse harnesses, and those who can be used as war horses, please use them to supplement the horse army!"

Tang Er suddenly grew up and looked full of surprise. When the battle was about to come to an end, Tang Er began to send cavalry to greet everywhere and kill people and keep horses.

How many horses did the Tartars army bring into the pass? Even if it is war and killing, at least more than 3,000 horses will be left. In addition, these horses and horse harnesses are all equipped, and all of them belong to the horse army. This means that it is a horse army that has always been limited in size because of horses. After this battle, the scale can be doubled. At present, the personal soldiers and the horse team commander are both in the ranks of the Dusi.

But if it doubled, Tang Er thought that he would be promoted to a guerrilla or gang general. He thought that he had flattered the horse's leg and offended the general, but he did not expect that he would gain such great benefits in the end.

"The entire Dengzhou Army, the old battalion, will go from front to back according to the order of participating in the war, and follow it to clean the battlefield. The income from cleaning the battlefield this time. Participating in each battalion can be divided into 20%, and there will be personal soldiers to supervise it!"

Li Meng issued a series of orders, which was actually a reward. These Tartar soldiers entered the pass and robbed and gained a lot. Moreover, horses, weapons, armor and armor were also of some benefit to ordinary soldiers.

Of course, this is not to allow soldiers to plunder the spoils privately, but to divide the range of soldiers and horses under their subordinates. They plunder the spoils and then distribute them in accordance with regulations after cleaning the battlefield.

"Everyone, after the battle, there are still many things that have not yet been completed. Go to your own military and horse office to keep an eye on it, and be efficient and quick!"

Li Meng urged, and after that, he waved his hand. The generals of the battalions bowed and took the order on the horse. They all drove their horses to work hard. The battlefield that had just calmed down soon became noisy again.

The only person who felt dissatisfied with the distribution of the spoils was Guo Liang, the commander of the Jiaozhou Camp artillery team. While discussing here, Guo Liang heard that there were Tartar general artillery located about twenty miles away from the battlefield. Guo Liang's mind was quick, thinking that no matter how other spoils were distributed.

But this artillery must be the object of his own artillery team. Tsk, his own artillery team will increase greatly because of this strength, which is a great thing.

When Guo Liang was almost certain about the battle situation. When the spear soldiers began to squeeze in, he and Li Meng reported, and led a small team of soldiers and rode horses toward the artillery positions of the Tartars. He was full of joy and thought that he would make a lot of money this time.

When he arrived at the twenty cannons, Guo Liang immediately turned his nose awkward. He didn't know that the gun holes were blocked by the Dengzhou army at that time, but simply looking at these twenty cannons, such a large cannon body, and the earth-caliber that was not as thick as the cannon body, was not suitable for Jiaozhou Camp at all.

Even the city cannons guarding the fortress would not use such artillery. They are extremely bulky and have limited firepower and are of no use to the artillery team.

Even if it is taken back, I am afraid that the cannon will be broken and melted by the weapon manufacturing bureau, and then turned into molten iron and then used for other purposes. It is probably used to build the most lacking musket at present. Don’t think about casting cannons.

"This damn Tartar deserves to be killed by thousands of knives and cut them into pieces!"

The extremely angry Guo Liang couldn't help it. He kicked the cannon with his angrily. After taking it too hard, his ankle was immediately hurt. In this battle, a senior officer of Jiaozhou Camp was injured, and the ankle was injured by the leader of the artillery team...

After the battle, there were many interesting things. Among them, Hejian Prefecture is close to Shandong, which is the area around Dongguang and Nanpi County. What people often mention a hundred years later is the deliciousness of various horse meat dishes and the exquisiteness of various horse leather products.

Horse meat from Hejian and donkey meat from Baoding became the two major specialties in Northern Zhili. Few people thought that the reason for this specialty was that in the twelfth lunar month of the 15th year of Chongzhen, a large number of dead horses suddenly appeared in this generation. Because in the cold winter, horse meat was not easy to rot, and Jiaozhou Ying was too lazy to deal with it, so they simply asked them to clean the cleaned area at the cost of this horse meat and only had a layer of armor-breaking Tartar corpses left.

The broken cotton coats, cloth armor and other things that Jiaozhou Ying despised were a great thing for the poor people in Hejian Prefecture. Through this method, a large number of poor people who were sitting at home in busy winter farming and were almost out of stock.

The battlefield that could easily cause a major epidemic was quickly cleaned up in the second year, and the Tartar soldiers were buried in the soil. According to the old peasants, in a few years, this land must be a fat field...

In addition, because it required a large amount of salt to deal with horse meat, Lingshan Trading Company sold a large amount of private salt over and sold it to local people on credit. Through such borrowing and lending, the Jiaozhou Camp forces blatantly penetrated into Hejian Prefecture.

Li Meng walked leisurely on the battlefield, looking at the busy soldiers below, and said in a deep voice to Yuan Wenhong beside him:

"This battle is over. Mr. Yuan, send someone to Shandong to report the victory. Wherever my Jiaozhou camp's troops are located, we must know the victory of our army!"
Chapter completed!
