After listening to Wang Shouren's words, Zhu Houzhao thought about it. With the two charging guards and the scout guards, the damage in this battle was not large. In total, there were still more than 20,000 people. However, Zhu Houzhao still felt that it was a bit small. This was the first battle.

The importance of a large-scale long-distance raid to the Ming Dynasty is self-evident, and naturally the power must be prepared to fight for victory.

"Let's do this!" Zhu Houzhao thought for a while, picked up a piece of meat and took a bite, then said, "Take the Black Dragon Guard with you."

The Black Dragon Guards are Zhu Houzhao's personal guards. Although there are only 3,000 people, they are all selected from the best. Both in terms of individual soldier quality and equipment, they are definitely the best among the Black Dragon Army. With these 3,000 people, at least when encountering

When it came time to attack the enemy, they could be allowed to fight. For this battle, Zhu Houzhao smiled and sent the Black Dragon Guard to Wang Shouren.

After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment, and then quickly shook his head: "Your Highness, the Black Dragon Guards are His Highness's personal guards. They are to protect His Highness's safety. How can I let you take them away?"

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, interrupted what Wang Shouren was about to say, and said, "This battle is very important. You must try your best to win. If you cannot win, then you have to bring these Black Dragon Army back alive. You also know, these days

I have spent so much effort on the Black Dragon Army this year. The battle may not be won, but the Black Dragon Army must not make any mistakes. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Wang Shouren nodded heavily, "I will definitely disappoint His Highness, Your Highness can rest assured."

Seeing what Wang Shouren wanted to say, Zhu Houzhao immediately smiled and reached out to pat Wang Shouren on the shoulder. "Bo'an, don't worry! The safety of this palace is guaranteed. Now Ordos has been wiped out by us, and there are no large-scale attacks in the entire Hetao."

The Tatar tribe, under such circumstances, who can hurt me? Don’t worry!"

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Shouren agreed, his eyes unusually firm, and he was obviously ready for a big fight this time.

Zhu Houzhao did not continue this topic. He felt that if he continued to talk, it would be like making a fuss. This kind of thing should not be done.

"I will be stationed here waiting for you. If the war ahead is unfavorable, you will send someone back to spread the news, and I will send someone to pick you up." Zhu Houzhao decisively changed the topic, pondered for a moment, and then added another sentence

"Don't be merciful in this battle. If you can't take prisoners in a surprise attack on Fengzhou Beach, then don't take prisoners."

In fact, Zhu Houzhao hesitated for a long time before saying this. As a later generation, Zhu Houzhao knew very well that this kind of killing was meaningless and cruel.

But this is what war is like. I have no way to use the methods of future generations to do what I am doing now. The most beneficial way for Ming Dynasty is to kill, or even a massacre. Exterminate, this is two words, but it is a bloody word.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to think about it, but there was no other way. Only by completely extinguishing the fire sieve, the Ming Dynasty's Western Front would be completely stopped and stable.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I understand!" Wang Shouren also nodded heavily. Of course he knew the meaning of His Highness's words.

The so-called don't take prisoners, naturally it is impossible to release them, so they can only kill them. The Han people have fought many surprise attacks on the grasslands, and there have been many massacres. The Han people have also been treated as two-legged sheep. This is natural for Wang Shouren

He knows it. He has studied military books and history books, so he naturally knows what he should do. He, Wang Shouren, is not a corrupt scholar and does not have the kindness of a woman.

"Okay, let's go!" Zhu Houzhao patted Wang Shouren's shoulder and said in a depressed mood, "Go gather the men and give the order. Since it's a surprise attack, don't wait any longer. Let's set off early tomorrow morning!"

"Yes, His Highness the Crown Prince!" Wang Shouren agreed, stood up and bowed to Zhu Houzhao, then turned and walked away.

That night, Zhu Houzhao sat on the grassland for a long time. He was thinking about many things. If the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia could live in peace, or if Mongolia surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, how much territory would be conquered? The Mongols can conquer and fight well, and the Ming Dynasty has supplies.

Rich, with the support of the Ming Dynasty's national power, the pace of expansion is absolutely unstoppable.

Whether they are fighting north or marching into Central Asia, the Ming Dynasty's cavalry will travel across the entire Eurasian plate. They don't even need to engage in a navy. The cavalry on the road will go directly to Europe.

It just gave those people in Europe a taste of the whip of God. Of course, Zhu Houzhao also knew that this was impossible.

When Mongolia becomes stronger, they will not target the outside world, but will still point to the Ming Dynasty. What they want is the prosperous land of the Ming Dynasty, what they want to restore is their former glory, and what they want is to continue to enslave the Ming Dynasty. So Zhu Houzhao knows what is in his heart

As he thought, he also knew that such a policy would not work and was too idealistic.

Only by fighting until you are honest, until you are subdued, until no one on the grassland dares to oppose the Ming Dynasty, until the Ming Dynasty's cavalry opens and closes, and the entire Mongolian grassland becomes the Ming Dynasty's horse herding land, can you start your own governance again.

Even though this was a process of internal friction, Zhu Houzhao had no choice. This is human nature, so Zhu Houzhao chose to issue such an order. If there is no other way, then don't take prisoners. Zhu Houzhao knew deeply that if his order continued,

The Ming army would kill many more people with their swords. Killing in an organized and disciplined way is the most efficient.

At the top of the moon, Liu Jin, who was serving Zhu Houzhao, came to Zhu Houzhao's side and said, "Your Highness, it's too late, it's time to rest."

Glancing at Liu Jin, Zhu Houzhao nodded. Liu Jin has been following the logistics team these days, and he was also infected with the wind and cold. It is getting better these days, so he is waiting by his side. Zhu Houzhao stood up with a smile and said

"My body has just recovered. Don't worry about me at night. My body is much stronger than yours."

Zhu Houzhao dared to say this, but Liu Jin didn't dare to do it, so he smiled and said, "Your Highness is wise and powerful, with superb martial arts. This body is naturally the best. A hundred slaves can't compare to Your Highness. I am a slave who can serve Your Highness."

I am so blessed. I think that if I stay with His Highness, my health will get better and better."

The eunuch's skill in flattering is really high. Whether it is his eyes, expression, or smile, they are all very sincere. It looks like he is telling the truth and does not look like flattering at all.

"Okay, let's rest!" Zhu Houzhao walked into the tent and said to Liu Jin with a smile, "You should also go to bed early, there will be more things to do tomorrow."

Liu Jin agreed and waited until Zhu Houzhao fell asleep before he quit and rested.

After a night of silence, Zhu Houzhao got up early the next morning. Before dawn, Zhu Houzhao sent Wang Shouren away and watched him lead the army towards Fengzhou Beach.
