The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 709
Gao Yingxiang used to be a horse trader. He was skilled at bowing horses and had extraordinary physical strength and was good at packaging himself.

The burly and handsome Gao "Chuangwang" Mai was much stronger than Li Zicheng, who succeeded him later, and his wife did not steal.

Gao Yingxiang relied on the accumulation of more than [-] armored cavalry to rule the roost. Every time he confronted the official army, he was invincible. Unfortunately, these counterfeit cavalry were ashamed when they met real knights.

That was the seven or eight thousand "God of War" cavalry brought by Heihu and Lu Chengzu showing their power. They rushed thousands of miles and rested in two echelons in turn. Following Gao Yingxiang, the cavalry team pursued and fought fiercely.

The combat effectiveness and equipment of the rogue cavalry are far from those of the "God of War" knights, and the quality of their horses is also of a different level. It is not because of the poor breed of horses but malnutrition. Wherever the horses of the "God of War" cavalry are like calves.

The discipline of the rogues is quite bad, and most of the cavalry are veterans. They found that being bitten by the "God of War" was not a concerted effort to turn back and fight the enemy, but to escape better than equestrianism.

An army without ideals is really rubbish. The rogue cavalry were only wiped out by [-]-[-]%, and the rest of the troops collapsed.

Unwilling to fail, the leader of the bandits, Gao Yingxiang, actually led his confidant guards to launch a Jedi counterattack in Meridian Valley. Unfortunately, the black tiger, black panther, and black bear he faced were cavalry generals who had lived on horseback since childhood.

The "God of War" knights mix and match hot and cold weapons. Even Gao Yingxiang's guard cavalry are all heavily armored, and there is nothing they can do. A fierce battle will be safe and risk-free. .

This is what Heihu did most of the time when he fought with the rogues, because he found that most of the rogues chose to run away when they saw the leader's queue being dispersed, and rarely had the option to rescue the leader.

There were no accidents in the battle in Ziwu Valley. Gao Yingxiang's central army was thrown into disarray by the black tiger's assault.

Of course, setting up a battlefield in Meridian Valley is a no-win or a benevolent one. How easy is it to escape if the roads here are narrow?

Gao Yingxiang, who was originally determined to fight the "God of War" cavalry in this Jedi, found that he was too idealistic. He overestimated the combat effectiveness and fighting will of his old battalion of iron guards.

When Gao Yingxiang found out that the "God of War" cavalry was brave and unstoppable, his confidence in the fight to the death was shaken, and it was too late when he wanted to escape...

In the final result, Heihu cheerfully captured Gao "Chuang Wang", the leader of the 72nd Tiangang Road, and his confidant generals Liu Zhe, Huang Long and so on.

Heihu didn't want to cause too many unnecessary sacrifices under his command, so he withdrew his troops immediately after capturing the enemy chieftain, and didn't even search for the remnants of Gao Yingxiang who fled all over the mountains and plains.

Heihu, Lu Chengzu and other generals all know that the rogues are inexhaustible, and the people who have no food and no hope can become rogues.

Therefore, although the rogues were defeated, not too many people were killed. When they met the "God of War" troops who were unwilling to cause too many killings, they barely counted it as a blessing in disguise.

At the end of June in the 11th year of Chongzhen, the emperor saw the Nanwang Jiebao and learned that Zhang Xianzhong and his ilk had been wiped out. He immediately went to the Taimiao to comfort his ancestors.

At the beginning of July, Shanshan sent another report of victory. Gao Yingxiang, the biggest bandit leader, was captured alive.
It was rare for the excited emperor to get drunk. This might be the only time Chongzhen got drunk, and what he drank was the top grade Xifenglie produced by the Huang family, which was a tribute sent to the palace by Caier.

It is fashionable for the upper class of the Ming Dynasty to use "Nanming" products. If there is no flush toilet at home, they will be regarded as bumpkins.

Due to Chongzhen's diligence and frugality, the expenses in the court were not extravagant, but Huang Sheng always believed that no one needed to suffer for the emperor, so many new things were given to the emperor as tributes.

In fact, Huang Sheng is not at a disadvantage. The value of good things that are commonly used in the palace is of course doubled in the folks. The sales staff will tell customers, "This one is used in Kunning Palace..., and that one is decorated in Taiping." The Hall of Harmony..."

They are all good things for the queen, and of course they are favored by dignitaries and dignitaries. Of course, Huang Sheng's enterprise will gain both fame and fortune.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ruan Dan, the envoy of the "Southern Ming Dynasty", brought a tribute mission to Gyeonggi and presented the letter of credence with thoughtful etiquette.

Emperor Chongzhen's heart was ups and downs for a while after reading the content of the letter of credence.

It was the king of "Nanming" who was preparing to launch a war to restore the homeland of Ming Dynasty. Since this time it was a war to destroy the country and required a lot of troops, King Nan requested that all the soldiers of the "God of War" who were still serving in Ming Dynasty be withdrawn to assemble in Yunnan.

Because the "Nanming" system deployed troops thousands of miles in the interior of the Ming Dynasty, the King of Nan was worried that the Holy Son of Heaven would misunderstand, so he specially asked for an order.

Chongzhen suddenly felt that it was difficult to choose. He used to be afraid of the elite soldiers of the "God of War".

This is how life is. Nine out of ten times you don't like what you want. When you want to stay, you can't keep him. When you don't want him to appear, you just come to the city.

The emperor knew that the soldiers of the "God of War" were all paid by "Nanming", and most of the family members also lived in the territory of "Nanming".

It is useless for Ming to keep these soldiers, they will not be loyal to themselves.

What's more, the "God of War" men and horses have high salaries and good benefits, which Daming simply cannot afford.Helpless, let them go back!

The land of the Ming Dynasty lacks the "God of War" soldiers and horses, is it a disaster or a blessing?No one can predict.

The Shanshan bandits were completely wiped out, and now that it was the final stage, Hong Chengchou couldn't afford to keep the "God of War" troops who received high salaries, and agreed to them going south.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Chengzu and Heihu who returned to the station left some soldiers belonging to the Ming army, and led the "God of War" lineage to go south to Huguang, with nearly [-] troops.

Finally able to fight side by side with the Patriarch, the two are as excited as children who have been away from home for a long time and are on their way home.

Huang Sheng has acquired more than [-] million Han people, and his strategic goal has been fully achieved.

In fact, Huang Sheng got so many Han people, but it does not mean that he divided up so many people in Ming Dynasty, because these people were also lost by Ming Dynasty in history.

Some of them died at the hands of Jiannu, some were ravaged by bandits, some died of famine, plague, cannibalism, and some even died at the hands of officials and soldiers.

It is conservatively estimated that 7000 million to [-] million Han Chinese died after the successive fall of Ming and Nan Ming. Of course, at least half of these people were killed by Jiannu.
