The military officers of the Guards were not controlled by civil servants.

Therefore, Zhang Cong, the Yulin magistrate, did not have the power to command the Guards to defend Pang Guangyuan.

Pang Guangyuan has the power to handle military operations on an on-the-fly basis.

According to the order issued by Zhu Houzhao to the Guards, once the Guards go out of the frontier and encounter Tartars, they will gather to annihilate or defeat them, and the large ones will evacuate them and stand for help.

The strategic purpose is to gradually erode the power of the little prince.

Now, there are only more than a thousand cavalry behind this Mongolian Menganzac race, half of which is less than the Ming army.

According to the principle of small groups of annihilation, the Ming Iron Cavalry was naturally not polite. The war horses under his command galloped directly over, and the short crossbows in his hands were fired at once. In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired at once, just like a rain curtain.

Ruthless!

The short crossbows and arrows with huge impact were made of new steel made in the Ming Dynasty. Even double-layer plate armor could penetrate, not to mention the leather armor of these Mongolian cavalry.

Therefore, countless crossbow arrows pierced the Tartar cavalry and bright blood flowers splashed.

The Ming Iron Cavalry is now equipped with short crossbows and scimitars, using crossbows in distance and using swords in close combat.

Of course, the distance here is only for cavalry battles, which are unconventional so-called far-distance wars.

Since the Ming Dynasty improved the steelmaking method, high-carbon steel production has become possible, and machine tools with tool steel can be made through the earth machine drawings provided by Zhu Houzhao.

At the same time, using hydraulic machinery can enable tool steel to process better crossbows and springs, which greatly improves both crossbow assembly, elastic structure and sight placement technology.

The short crossbow made specifically for the guard cavalry is one of the masterpieces, which is conducive to taking the initiative when he or she is he/she is used to shoot a crossbow arrow when the enemy draws a strong bow to defeat the enemy.

Zach and the Tartar cavalry behind him were well trained. After a rain of arrows, they were not defeated. They immediately set their bows and shot, forming a dense rain of arrows, which gave the guards a favor.

But at this time, the Ming Iron Cavalry had already rushed to the front of these Tartars and could see the faces of these people clearly. Therefore, except for a few of the Guards, most of the Iron Cavalry had swung their swords at these Tartars.

With one knife, the sharp alloy high-carbon steel easily cut the head of a Tartar cavalry into the sky under the horizontal slash of the Ming Iron Cavalry.

With great strength, he used his inertia to directly slash a Tartar cavalry with a thick back knife, and broke it between the waist by the man and the horse, leaving only half of the human body and half of the horse body gushing blood in place!

Zach Zhong was confused and thought to himself what kind of crossbow arrow blade this was, and his armor was like mud!

More than 2,000 cavalry of the Ming Dynasty surrounded and harvested the cavalry outside his periphery in a bifurcated manner, and the cavalry of the Zach family can only fight and retreat with their own cavalry.

The Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty still bit the slap. Once the cavalry of the Zach race escaped in a certain direction, countless crossbows would be killed in that direction.

If Zach wants to break through from the Ming Iron Cavalry, the Ming Iron Cavalry will not slash, but will directly throw a row of thunders that will go over. Iron beads, iron thorns, arsenic and other objects explode and splash everywhere as the gunpowder of the sky-shaking thunder explodes, directly blowing up these Tartar cavalry covered in scars, and falls to the ground with war horses crying for their parents!

In just half an hour, the Zach-type cavalry completely collapsed and retreated in panic, and some even fell off their horses.

Except for a few Tartar cavalry escaped by chance, most of the Tartar cavalry became prisoners, and even Zach himself became prisoners.

Zhang Cong has been watching the battle on the spot. He really wanted to say that this was actually a plunder and killing of the Tartars by the Iron Cavalry of the Ming Dynasty. After Yongle, almost all the Tartars plunder and killing the Han people. Now the Ming Dynasty can also let the Tartars taste the plunder and killing.

But Zhang Cong had to admit that these Tartars were very poor, and even the captured Tartar nobles seemed to be wearing very well, let alone ordinary Tartars and slaves at the bottom.

However, although Zhang Cong lamented their poverty, he would not be ruthless to them. After all, these people are poor, but many of them are never ruthless when they rob and kill people.

No matter who it is, any prisoner who has committed the crime of plundering and killing of the Han people was driven to the newly opened mine for labor and service for ten years. Ten years later, it will determine whether he is alive or dead based on his education.

Other herdsmen also ordered them to work and accepted education courses arranged by the government.

The primary method of education is to speak the Ming Dynasty's Mandarin and change customs, then learn Confucian etiquette, and finally expressing his willingness to serve the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Only in this way can one be pardoned or become a people of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why these people are taught Confucian etiquette is naturally because Confucianism is good at grinding out people's blood and creating a person's stupidity. Only by turning these herdsmen into tame sheep can they be easily ruled.

This is naturally different from the Han people's education method in Yulin City.

According to Zhu Houzhao's meaning, the Han people in the Ming Dynasty no longer need to focus on moral transformation of Confucian education, but should gradually open up their wisdom, so they were allowed to learn a lot of knowledge; while the people who newly attached the Ming Dynasty naturally had to learn to respect teachers and respect the way of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, so that they would no longer have the intention of killing.

The children of herders who had not committed criminal acts to the Han people in the Ming Dynasty were also concentrated to carry out unified Chinese education.

Specialized Confucian scholars convey Confucian etiquette and Neo-Confucian knowledge, teach them the way of loyalty to the emperor, let them change customs and completely transform into Han people.

"This is your surname. Your surname is Shi now, because your loyalty to His Majesty the Ming Emperor should be as hard as a rock! Your name is Shi Biao! Remember? Read it once, your name is Shi Biao!"

These herders will even have their names changed.

But these herdsmen did not accept it because of this. On the contrary, they became very active and serious in receiving Confucian education and Chineseization, because the county magistrate had already said that only in this way can they be qualified to be the true people of the Ming Dynasty, and that if they become the true people of the Ming Dynasty, they can have their own maki fields.

This is a power that only the people of Daming have.

The herdsmen on these grasslands are naturally the same as farmers on arable land, and they both value the land the most.

Therefore, this herdsman named Shi Biao actively received Confucian education, took the initiative to start speaking Chinese and learning the customs of the Han people.

As far as he knew, several talented herders had obtained their own pastures from the county government, and in the future, the sheep on these pastures would no longer belong to the slave owner but to their own.

Because Shi Biao had often contacted Han people in border towns and carried out trade activities, he also learned some Ming Dynasty Mandarin and recognized Chinese characters, and accepted them very quickly. Therefore, he soon became a commoner with his own pasture.

Since Shi Biao got his pasture, he began to actively and diligently grazed his flock. He was very happy that he could become a citizen of the Ming Dynasty and was also very happy that he had such a life now, because in this way, he no longer had to be a slave, but could still have his own wealth and be protected by the Ming Dynasty court.

For many lower-class herders and slaves who were oppressed by the Mongolian Yuan nobles before, they now have a sense of being human.

The Yuan people who have committed sins like Zach are naturally not so lucky. Now they have been arranged into labor service and will wear special labor service. They are arranged by the government to do the dirtiest, most tiring and most dangerous work in designated mining areas. And unlike migrant workers, they have no wages and must work for more than ten hours a day.

This kind of high-intensity work will last for ten years.

Zach Chin could not stand this kind of abuse. He thought that the Han people were really kind and would not kill him, but now he had to admit that the Han people were not kind but were more ruthless than before, and killing was just a knife. Now that he made himself work day and night like a slave, he was really worse than death!

"Bang! Hurry up, don't be too slow!"

Because the Han man Jia was older, he could not do physical work in the mining area, so he became a supervisor in the mining area and was responsible for supervising the work of these Yuan criminals every day. At this time, he whipped Zach's back, leaving a blood mark on Zach's back, which made him bare his teeth in pain.

But Zach now has no choice but to deal with the Han man Jia, because he is no longer the former Yuan man Meng'an. He also knows that if he is dissatisfied, the guards on the high slopes on both sides will cut him to death on the grounds of his conspiracy. The dead bodies piled up in the ditch opposite are all because of the bodies of Yuan criminals who are unwilling to serve labor and attempting to escape.

Zach's family doesn't want to die, and fear of death is human nature. He is no exception. He can only endure this torture and continue working.

But what made the Zach family collapse was that these Meta-Man criminals had even more unbearable torture.

Zach Zong didn't know how the Han people came up with such a way. They would regularly lead them, the captured Yuan people to the largest square in the county, and his former slaves criticized him or heard the Han people in the border town cry about how their families were harmed by the Yuan people.

Zach is becoming more and more afraid of this kind of thing. At first, he was very angry that these slaves dared to scold him, but later he became afraid, afraid of these slaves, and now he is still a little guilty. Now he begins to feel that he is a sinner and a demon who owes a lot of blood debts.

Therefore, in the end, when the supervisor continued to whip the Zach, the Zach became numb, and some of the thoughts of gathering some Yuan criminals to kill the supervisor and escape were destroyed in their minds.

Like the Zach race, other Yuan criminals lost their former blood after the victimized slaves and Han families and their heavy labor, and were dull and numb, like walking corpses, just working and working every day.

In any case, these Yuan criminals made up for the lack of labor in Yulin City, causing a large amount of iron ore to be produced within less than half a year of the city's construction.

At the same time, the renovation process of the official road from Yulin City to Datong has also accelerated a lot.

In September of the fourth year of Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao prepared to set off for Datong.

On the surface, the little prince did not immediately plunder the border towns of the Ming Dynasty, but according to the information provided by the Jinyiwei, the little prince's troops were gathering in secret, which made Zhu Houzhao even more worried that the little prince would have bigger actions.
