Before dawn, most of the soldiers were lying in their clothes, Ren Jing and Xia Xiping and the staff on duty were waiting for news, the chasers still had some of them not returned, these unruly guys put the order of only being allowed to chase within forty miles of the order, and sent their temperament all the way down, originally their war horses could not provide physical strength for a longer pursuit, but now the ground is full of war horses that have lost their masters, and the chasers can change horses all the way to solve this trouble.

Ren Jing didn't complain too much, the chaser battalion has not been officially assigned to him, and the top is very satisfied with Zhang Shixiong, its independence will be well preserved, it is estimated that in the next big expansion of the army, there may be two chaser regiments, used to cooperate with the main force to fight a general battle of tens of thousands of people, this idea Ren Jing knew that Zhang Han had already made a decision, but it has not yet been deployed and implemented.

A young staff officer kept staring into the distance, it was a dark and dreary night, there was no moonlight, the stars were dim, the wind was very strong in the middle of the night, there was a light rain when the wind rose, people did not have rain cloths, many people were woken up by the raindrops, there were angry scolding everywhere, fortunately the rain stopped soon, no one was wet, and then there was another snoring.

When the sky was faintly bright and he could barely see the situation in the distance, the staff officer exclaimed, "These guys have finally returned." ”

A group of more than 200 chasers was divided into several groups, and they escorted more than 3,000 prisoners, Ren Jing stood up and squinted at the situation in front of him.

An officer muttered, "These grandsons are really chasing and fighting." ”

"It's the most fucking arrogant thing I've ever seen."

"Two hundred people will come back with three thousand, and Genghis Khan will roll in the ground."

"It's really a bit of a wanton feeling."

The officers who didn't sleep at night looked at and evaluated the things in front of them, indeed, the chassars who came slowly in the distance just had a taste of wanton arrogance and arrogance, their unruliness had long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, maybe they had no way to discharge a large array like the dragoons, the dragoons were as steady as a rock in the battle against ten times the enemy, and any frenzy slapping on them would only become smashed, and the pursuit in the middle of the night was non-stop, with fewer enemies and more daring, this is the specialty of the chasers.

"There's a big fish in your pocket." A chassar officer galloped up, his face full of pride, he saluted Ren Jing, and then said happily: "We have captured Chotu Khan!" ”

"What?" Ren Jing stood up and glared, "He just called you prisoners?" ”

"At first he wanted to get by, but then we heard the Mongols themselves say that the Great Khan was arrested, so we began to sift through as we went, and finally found him out. Then he tried to kill himself, and we tied him with his arms behind his back, so he gave up and rode all the way back with us, and there was no other reaction. ”

The chaser officer pointed to the only Mongolian man in his thirties who was tied behind his back in the team, thin and tall, and his face still looked like a noble man, but Ren Jing knew that this was pretending, this Mongolian man was extremely depressed, people generally valued their own lives, this Mongolian Khan would rather die than be captured, but unfortunately he was not in charge of this matter in front of him.

"But Tu Khan has been caught!"

"Let's go, look at the Great Khan of Mongolia."

Because it was early in the morning, there were still a lot of tired soldiers who had fought all day yesterday and woke up, there was no emergency assembly on the battlefield, there was no need to line up, and of course there was no training that lasted until noon, they would live very comfortably on this day, and the next few days would be just a march, which was called the perennial training of the soldiers to feel relaxed, and everyone was in a very happy mood, and they won a big victory, killing and wounding thousands of enemies, and their own side suffered less than 100 casualties, and they also captured 15,000 or 6,000 people, which was undoubtedly a great victory, and they survived, unscathed, all the servicemen who thought of this were extremely pleasant.

There may be people who have a brother or friend who is injured, their mood will be affected a little, and the gloomy face must have a friend who died in battle, their mood will be low for a long time, and even irritable, military and political officials at all levels will stare at these irritable guys, soothe their emotions, and then the high-style mourning and the procedures of the ancestral hall will make the soldiers who have lost their best friends climb out of the emotional trough, for the Ming army, everything in the merchant army seems to be a fantasy, but these things have been done very familiar with the internal affairs of the merchant armyThere is a whole set of processes.

And there is another reason to be happy in front of him, although the Shang army has been fighting with the Mongols for more than two years, but Bu Lost Rabbit Khan died at the hands of his own people, Ombuhong is now the king of Shunyi and Tumut Khan, but when he was captured, he was only a small Taiji, and now the ninth regiment has defeated ten times the enemy with a dignified army, and captured a great khan, in any case, this is quite an exciting thing.

First a few soldiers began to cheer, then thousands of people woke up, and when they stayed overnight, the soldiers were still divided into areas according to each company, but at this time it was a mess, everyone was cheering and jumping, the musketeers raised their guns high, the pikemen threw their hats, the chasseurs had a proud and reserved smile on their faces, these guys were already above the top, and now they were even more inclined to look at people.

But it didn't matter, all the arms were crowded, and the military and political officers had to stop the overly excited soldiers, but when the captives passed through the forest of spears and bayonets, and saw these excited soldiers surround themselves, Tu Khan tried to preserve his dignity, but he knew that this would only make him feel more ridiculous and pitiful, and more nobles and their subordinates bowed their heads...... This part of the people are mainly nobles, they fled early, but they were all caught by the relenting chasseurs, but the Tu Khan Department was completely finished, and they themselves knew this.

Maybe the upper echelons will have some arrangements and plans for the Chotu Khan Department, that is what the upper echelons of the military department and Zhang Han consider, at this moment, the high-level military leaders, including Ren Jing, have the same emotions as ordinary soldiers, only excitement.

"Now we are facing twice as many problems and dilemmas." When everyone was in ecstasy, only Xia Xiping maintained his usual calm, and he said to Ren Jing and the officers: "Originally, we only brought a few days of food, but now the consumption is almost the same, enough to eat for two days at most." If we had to feed nearly 20,000 captives, we would have to go hungry ourselves. Of course, it can be considered that the prisoners also have some supplies, but we still run the risk of running out of food. ”

Ren Jing laughed and said, "You really kill the scenery." ”

Xia Xiping said with a bitter face: "No way, being a staff officer is thinking too much." ”

"I see the captives leave it alone for the first two days, and tell them to eat themselves." Ren Jing said indifferently: "Anyway, the water pipe is enough." We went back, the convoy was only five or six days away, and after two days we gave the prisoners evenly, and then we held out for another two days, and then we turned back to meet them, and the convoy went this way, and in three or four days at most it was bumping head-on. ”

"The Southern Route Army is estimated to be hanging," Xia Xiping said, "I hope they can get better...... Ma Wu and Xu Zhen are both people who have traveled thousands of miles, have experience, and hope to be better than us. ”

"The Southern Route Army will find a way to join us, after all, they will not encounter a strong enemy on their side, so they must find a way to go north and join us in battle." Ren Jing pondered and said: "They won't have a hard time, don't worry, there is a military and political officer Nie." ”

"That's just as well." Xia Xiping also laughed.

……

"The merchant army has been on the expedition for many days, right?" Jebtsundampa, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked around at the lamas who were sitting like him.

"It's been ten days." Lama Zhangjia said calmly: "There is no news yet. ”

"To be precise, it's been fourteen days since their soldiers and convoys went out." A lama looked sneering and said, "At the beginning, that Zhang Han said that he would be able to conquer the Khan Department within half a month, but now it depends on what he says." ”

Jebtsundamba was a little displeased, and said in a deep voice: "Young people will always be a little angry, and it is not an exaggeration to say it for a while. He told us that he sent out the army, and it was considered to be vigorous, but I don't know if Hutchison still has strong soldiers, recently I have been restless, I am afraid that Hutchison will be defeated, so that the temperament of Chotu Khan will definitely fight all the way, and there will be no Ningri in Mobei at that time. ”

Lama Tenzin said with a smile: "But there is also good news, the three Great Khans have been hunting in one place recently, the Khalkha people have been divided for a long time, if you can take this opportunity to enhance some friendship, you can be united with the outside world in the future, this is a good thing." ”

This time, the lamas looked at each other, and no one agreed.

The Yellow Religion has become dominant in Mobei, which is simply similar to the situation in Europe, where the pope and bishops everywhere have absolute power to interpret religion and are extremely worshiped and respected by the believers, and the princes are also religious, and are willing to listen to the teachings of the lamas on the surface, but behind the scenes, the princes still hold secular power, and have been trying to retain this power...... The division of the various tribes is good news for the lamas, a great khan who controls a vast area and has great power is not destined to be controlled by the lamas, just like Lin Dan Khan would rather defect from the Yellow Sect in order to resist, if the three tribes of Mobei are a whole, now the lamas have no way to gain their own power and interests.

Sometimes, tribal conflicts are counted on the mediation of these living Buddhas, the distribution of pastures, and disputes among herdsmen are less and less sought by the nobles, but by the opinions of the lamas.

"I hope the merchant army can be victorious." An old lama with white eyebrows frowned and said, compared with the non-religious Han people from outside, the united Mobei made him even more worried.

This time, all the lamas nodded, but all of them looked like they were not confident.
