I'm a big dick

Chapter 559
But after the Battle of Ping-Liao, the Ming Dynasty created a 10,000+ well-equipped and powerful army, and they were no longer afraid of the northern nomads.

All the border towns in the north have allocated strong troops from Ping and Liao, and only [-] flying cavalry in the capital will be retained, and the rest will be dispatched to the border towns.

These powerful troops are both models and seeds, and they soon led to the improvement of the combat power of the entire border town army.

The end of the Liaodong War and the easing of the northward advance have enabled the border towns to obtain a greater supply of weapons and equipment.Flying cavalry battalions and gun cavalry battalions have been established one after another, and their maneuverability has also met the conditions to compete with nomads.

To say it is to be counterbalanced or to be modest, or to be conservative.

According to the estimates of the frontline generals, the battle with the Mongolian tribes is now a sure thing.It's just that the prairie is vast, and it is easy to defeat the Mongols, but it is very difficult to completely eliminate the disaster.

The emperor also thought so, although he still told him not to underestimate the enemy and not to advance rashly.But with muskets and artillery, and cavalry wall push tactics, the Mongolian cavalry is indeed far behind.

It's just that, now that there is a large-scale war with the Mongolian tribes, a lot of investment has been invested, and the benefits that can be obtained are far less than those in the Southwest and Nanyang.

"Xiong Qing, how about handing over half of the spoils and rewarding the soldiers in future battles?" The emperor took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "It should be a good way to make our Ming army happy when they hear the battle, right?"

Xiong Tingbi was stunned for a moment, and when he heard the emperor say "he was delighted after hearing the war", he knew that this was not a sudden idea, but that he had thought about it for a long time before launching it and implementing it.

Historically, there were a few Central Plains dynasties that "rejoiced after hearing the war", such as the Great Qin Dynasty in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and the Fubing in the early Tang Dynasty.More are nomads, and Jian slaves who were beaten to the north in embarrassment.

It is actually not difficult to achieve "joy after hearing the war". The simplest thing is to be profitable, or material incentives.

For example, Daqin's military merit system linked wages and rewards to military merit.Therefore, from the generals to the soldiers of Qin State, when they heard about the war, they were all happy from ear to ear.

Generals get promoted and get rich, and soldiers get rich to support their families. It all depends on war.You say the opportunity is coming, who doesn't want to seize it.Therefore, the Daqin army is a real army of tigers and wolves, and they are all lunatics on the battlefield.

It was the same with the government soldiers in the early Tang Dynasty. In the war against foreign tribes, they were not lenient in killing people, and they were even more ambiguous in grabbing money and treasures.

"Long live back, Qin and the early Tang Dynasty can indeed learn from it, but the north-south battle is not very balanced." Xiong Tingbi thought for a while, bowed and said: "I am a little worried about this."

The Nanyang campaign and the southwest crusade did not fight any powerful enemies, but the materials and money seized after the victory were not small.

As for the north, whether it is the remaining Jiannu or the Mongolian tribes, it is too much to say that they are poor, but none of them seem to be rich.

The emperor nodded slightly, and said: "Xiong Qing's words are also reasonable, but they are a bit over-concerned. The imperial court already has enough food and pay to support the army. Wouldn't it be better to get some more captured? Although the Beirui and Jianlu are poor, But there is always something left. Cattle, sheep, land, population, etc., if it is not easy to calculate, let the chamber of commerce intervene and convert it into silver coins."

Xiong Tingbi blinked his eyes, feeling that the emperor's calculations were very precise, the chamber of commerce would naturally discount the price, but the donation to the court would definitely not be small.

Otherwise, why would the imperial court give you such a profitable transaction!
