Chapter 767 Cleaning up the Western Region(1/2)

"These people are so cruel. They have made so much wealth. I have never seen so much money in my life."

"If you add up all the money here, I'm afraid there are millions of treasures. How many small countries have they destroyed?"

"Just like a jackal."

Hasbagan looked at the rows of large boxes in the camp.

After opening it, he was filled with gold, silver, jewelry, and even a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings, which immediately blinded him.

The expenditures from the treasury of the Ming Dynasty often amounted to tens of millions or hundreds of millions of treasures.

That's because Zhu Ying continued to increase revenue for the treasury, and the banknotes themselves were issued by the imperial court. As long as the reserves were sufficient, a little inflation would be beneficial to the development of the entire Ming Dynasty.

But for individuals, millions of treasures are almost impossible to spend in a lifetime, and they can't even imagine how to use this money.

"Don't use your imagination. According to the laws of the army, all spoils of war belong to the imperial court. If you dare to embezzle a penny, you have committed a major military crime."

"I advise you to put aside your petty thoughts."

Batu's expression didn't change much. He had seen more money than this.

As a descendant of Temujin, he has more lofty ideals and pursuits.

But just now, he keenly discovered Hasbagan's greed, so he issued a warning.

Although Hasbagen is also a noble on the grassland, in fact the grassland is very poor, especially the area of ​​the Golden Horde, which is adjacent to Central Asia and has no contact with the Ming Dynasty. He has not seen many rich people in the autumn wind.

"I'm just taking a look, taking a look."

Hasbogen looked away reluctantly, and then said with an awkward smile.

Batu said: "The salary given to you by the imperial court is enough for you to have enough food and clothing for the rest of your life. If you can make great achievements on the battlefield, your descendants will be able to go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the most prosperous place under the blue sky.

.”

"In your opinion, this money may be countless, but you will only know when you go to the capital. If you replace it all, it may only be worth a house."

"Even if you secretly take away these jewels and run away, you will be hunted down by the Ming Dynasty. What's the point of guarding these jewels and living a homeless life?"

"The former owners of these jewels are now either slaves or have their heads chopped off by Timur's cavalry. Even if you get wealth that does not match your status, it will only end up in the hands of others."

Faced with Batu's serious words, Hasbagan finally came to his senses.

Just now, he really had the idea of ​​stealing this batch of jewelry and running away.

Now after listening to Batu's words, I just felt ashamed in my heart and apologized to Batu: "I'm sorry, I almost made a huge mistake."

Batu smiled and said: "After the battle on the grassland is over, the imperial court will definitely give you a reward, and then we can go to the capital."

"After you see the prosperity of the capital, you will no longer think like this."

Hasbogen couldn't help but ask: "Is the capital really as prosperous as you say?"

Batu just shook his head: "No, my words cannot describe the prosperity of the capital at all. You will know it only when you see it with your own eyes."

Hasbogen couldn't help but look forward to it even more.

The Western Regions in October belong to the Ming Dynasty.

In this land where prosperity has come to an end, the most powerful army once again ushered in.

The Ming army cavalry began to continuously pursue and kill Timur's cavalry.

In addition to Batu, the other four thousand-horse teams also made huge gains.

The emergence of the flintlock made battles between cavalry very simple.

In places like the Western Regions, there are no mountains and jungles, but more plains and open areas, which is simply a paradise for cavalry battles.

The fully armored Ming army became a nightmare for Timur's cavalry in the Western Regions.

They were throwing rain of arrows. These once almost invincible tactics had no effect on the Ming army.

The Ming army cavalry galloped over in the rain of arrows, completely ignoring the bows and arrows in their hands. When the distance was close, they raised their flintlock rifles.

Just one round of fire resulted in massive casualties.

Shoot the horse from thirty paces away, and shoot the man within thirty paces.

The high accuracy of the breech-loaded flintlock gun allows the hit rate to reach a terrifying 30%.

On the battlefield, this is simply the reaper of death.

Some bold Ming cavalrymen got within a few steps of the enemy, raised their flintlock guns and shot them in the head, then turned around and left arrogantly.

This is impossible to fight.

If you want to defeat the Ming Army cavalry, only artillery can do it.

However, Timur's cavalry in the Western Regions came in a surprise attack and did not carry artillery. Instead, the Ming army's auxiliary troops had a large number of artillery.

The total number of Timur's cavalry sent to the Western Regions was no more than 30,000.

In just half a month, it has already lost more than half of its value.

Many of the remaining skirmishers who were defeated on the battlefield and fled were reorganized by the teams behind them.

On the wall of Huhu Kingdom.

The king, general and soldiers looked at the swarming infantry and the cavalry with men and horses in iron barrels in stunned silence, and swallowed subconsciously.

"According to the order of Taisun, I came here to protect the country of Huhu."

"Open the city gate quickly."

He Rong rode on his horse and shouted loudly to the top of the city wall.

Then the translator next to him quickly repeated it in Turkic.

Originally, He Rong should have arrived long ago, but on the way, according to the news from the local chieftain, he got traces of a group of Timur cavalry.

He didn't care about anything at the moment and simply asked the auxiliary troops to stand by while he led the cavalry in pursuit.

It took three days of pursuit before we finally caught up.

Even though the men and horses were exhausted, He Rong still launched the charge.

Of course, you don't want to rush directly into the local camp. That would be an insult to the cavalry tactics and irresponsible for the lives of the soldiers.

Like Batu, encirclement, suppression and shooting are the current cavalry methods.

Relying on the power of the flintlock gun, there is no need to fight bloody battles at all, it is just harvesting.

So it was postponed for some time.

It took six days to go back and forth, and the real battle ended in less than an hour.

There were a large number of prisoners, slaves, treasures, and war horses.

Originally, these Timur cavalry came to the Western Region purely for plunder, and they also wanted to bring these treasures back to the main Tibetan army.

Now almost all of them have been intercepted by the Ming army.

After killing the enemy, He Rong came to Huhu Country.

"Quick, quick, open the city gate, open the city gate." The king shouted loudly from the city wall.

He didn't even dare to distinguish between true and false.

It can be clearly seen from the city wall that these troops carry dozens of artillery pieces.

It doesn't matter whether it's true or not. Their low and fragile city walls are impossible to be bombarded by artillery.

The most important thing is that when all the people in the Huhu Kingdom are put together, there are not as many people as the other party.

He Rong originally had one thousand cavalry and two thousand infantry.

But after adding a large number of prisoners, the number has exceeded 7,000.

The entire Huhu country only has more than 5,000 people and more than 500 soldiers. What can we use to fight the opponent?

"I will camp under the city and a hundred riders will follow me into the city."

He Rong gave an order.

The influx of seven thousand people was too much for this small country to bear.

He is not here to occupy the city. No matter what, the other party's princess is already the concubine of His Highness Taisun. You should pay attention to what you should pay attention to.

To avoid being impeached when the time comes to return to the capital with meritorious service.

Even if his meritorious deeds are gone, he may still be punished.

The king above saw that the army did not enter the city, but camped under the city, and he felt relieved.

Immediately, there were some difficulties. With such a large number of people, all the food in Huhu Country could not be supplied for three days.

This will directly bring down Huhu Country.

Watching the opponent's leading general entering the city.

The king quickly went down to greet him.

He even trotted over to hold He Rong's horse regardless of his status.
To be continued...
