Yang Mu had moved out, and he had mobilized his entire army. There was not a single soldier left to guard his home. It could be said that the rear defense was extremely weak, but he was not afraid at all, because he had cleaned up all the chieftains within a hundred miles of Dong 'an Li and Jiang' na.
The result of the clean-up was peace in the territory and a surge in soldiers.
One had to know that wars in ancient times were not like those in television dramas. Tens of thousands of people could die in a battle until the last person.
Since ancient times, the casualty rate of one tenth in a battle between two sides was called a mob, two tenths were called peasant armies, three tenths were called imperial court armies, and four tenths were elites.
As for the troops that had lost more than half or even 70 percent of their troops, it was enough to make a single line of words appear in history. There were even fewer troops that could fight until they were completely wiped out.
In fact, the history of the late Ming Dynasty was really magical. The small ice river, nineteen droughts in thirty years, more than thirty earthquakes, and fifty-three plagues.
Civil officials were corrupt, merchants betrayed the country, the army was paid for nothing, the people rebelled, generals supported the enemy, and foreign enemies invaded. Any two of these things basically meant that a dynasty was about to perish, but the end of the Ming Dynasty took over.
To be honest, the history of the late Ming Dynasty was a bad one. If an army that could fight was placed here, it would basically become a lawless existence.
The Eight Banners Army was the representative of those who could fight, and the representatives who could fight even more were the Li family's Liaodong Iron Cavalry and Wu Sangui's Guanning Iron Cavalry.
People said that the Eight Banners were invincible, but in fact, the origin of this saying was the Liao people describing the Jingsai Cavalry of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Could the Eight Banners fight? He could fight! Was he good at fighting? Perhaps, he was much weaker than the White Pole Soldiers, Qi Family Army, and Liaodong Steel Cavalry. After all, during the bloody battle at the Hun River, Nurhachi led 60,000 Qing soldiers to attack the White Pole Soldiers and Qi Family Army, who numbered less than 8,000. The scene of him being beaten up by the two sides was still fresh in his mind.
If Li Yongfang hadn't betrayed the Liao army and used cannons to break the formation, Nurhachi would probably have died by the Hun River.
60,000 against 7000, and the result was over 10,000 casualties. Moreover, 4000 of the Qi Family's Army were new recruits who had been trained for less than half a year. It was truly a joke.
Nurhachi was at most a barbarian, and he was a fool when it came to fighting. He fought with his own strength, and he was a mess when it came to managing the people.
Liaodong, which could have become a hegemon of the world and had three million Han people, was massacred by this guy. In the end, the Han people in Liaodong were less than 500,000. Moreover, they were also iron-headed and made enemies everywhere.
Originally, the 60,000 Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty had suffered heavy casualties due to years of war. After Huang Taiji succeeded to the throne, he had no choice but to expand the Eight Banners of the Mongol Empire and the Four Banners of the Han Dynasty. He entered the Ming Dynasty and plundered the population many times before gradually restoring the initial prosperity of Liaodong.
However, the history of the Qing Dynasty was very magical. There was always a better monarch in between the cruel and dissolute emperors.
Between Nurhachi and Shunzhi, there was Huangtaiji, and during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, there was Yongzheng.
After the death of Huang Taiji, although Shunzhi and Kangxi entered the pass and ruled the world, they created the notorious Wicker Border incident.
They moved the originally abundant Liaodong, as well as the ethnic minorities and Han people in the entire northeast, to Shanhaiguan and prohibited the Han people from migrating to Liaodong. As a result, the Romanov Tsarist Dynasty in the north directly invaded Nibuchu.
Due to the migration of the population, the originally densely populated northeast was only left with a portion of the Manchu people. Therefore, they had to cede hundreds of thousands of kilometers of land of the original Beishan Jurchen and sign the "Nerchinsk treaty."
Years of love had long corroded the bodies and wills of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.
In the era Zhu Bomu was currently in, it had been almost ninety years since the Battle of Hun River, and it had been almost sixty years since the Qing Dynasty entered the pass and the Battle of Millstone Mountain. The Eight Banners had long become a joke.
The current Qing Dynasty only relied on the less than 200,000 Mongolian cavalrymen they had recruited from the south of the desert. If nothing unexpected happened, these Mongolians would become ghosts under Zhu Bomu's blade.
The reason why he mentioned them was because Zhu Bomu saw an army that he should not have seen in this place, the Mongolian cavaliers...
"Stop!"
On the march, Yang Tianmu, who was leading a 2,000-man army towards Wang Nongli, was ordered to stop by the 10-man Mongolian cavaliers.
The appearance of the Mongolians made Zhu Bomu immediately hide with the 100-man cavalry behind him.
"Yang Mubo! What are you going to do with so many people?”
A Mongol wearing armor whipped his horse as if he was trying to scare the soldiers. However, the soldiers did not stop. In the end, Yang Tian, who was leading the way and wearing two layers of chainmail armor, stopped his whip.
Looking at Yang Tian and the others, one of the guards, Chief Qian, was not sure. He urged his horse forward and whispered,""Master, there are at least one to two thousand people here. Moreover, the thousands of people in the middle and rear armies are all wearing chainmail armor. We should retreat first…"
Pa!
Before President Qian could finish his sentence, he was whipped, but he did not dare to make a sound.
"Retreat? With these slaves?" As he spoke, the guard rode his horse forward and shouted,"I'm the eldest son of the Peace Hall's Commandant. Tell me, why are you mobilizing the army?”
The guard pointed his whip at Yang Tian's nose and asked fiercely, as if Yang Tian would whip him if he answered no.?
The guard's actions were seen by Zhu Bomu behind him. Mu Yong shook his head and said," Yang Tian, please don't hold it in…"
"It's normal to not be able to hold it in, but it's not strange to hold it in.”Zhu Bomu's self-contradictory words were somewhat incomprehensible.
After that, Yang Tian could not help but shout,""I heard that there are rebels in Wang Nong and I'm going to capture them. Brothers, don't you think so?”
"Yes!"
The shouts of the two thousand men were shocking. The warhorses of the guards were so restless that they began to twitch. Their faces were even more unsightly.
He was a Manchu, and even though he was a Manchu in dire straits, he was not someone who could be cursed at by a man who was not even a Han. He instinctively wanted to whip Yang Tian, but when he saw the soldiers behind Yang Tian, he retreated.?
"Let's go!" The guard turned his horse around unwillingly and headed towards Peace Hall. He was probably going to tell his father, who was the commandant, about the matter.
" All troops advance!!!"
"Woo! Wu! Wu!"
The retreat of the entire army made the soldiers who had never gained any self-respect shout loudly. Even Yang Mubo, who was hiding among the troops, laughed.
He finally understood why there were people who were so happy to rebel. At this moment, they were so happy just because they forced the Qing army to retreat. If they killed the Qing soldiers themselves, they would probably be even happier than this.
However, compared to them, Zhu Bomu, who was at the end of the team, shook his head.""I hope that Yang Mubo and the others won't be overwhelmed by this temporary excitement.”
" My lord, are you worried about Yang Mubo and the others..." Mu Yong hesitated.
"Yes!" Zhu Bomu nodded." There are more than 40,000 Green Army soldiers stationed in southern Yunnan. There are 100,000 Green Army soldiers in the neighboring Bashu, Guangxi, and Guizhou. Kangxi recently transferred 30,000 Mongolian Eight Banners to Bashu.”
"If Yang Mubo only takes care of the chieftains in Kaihua Prefecture and then starts an army, he will only suffer a crushing defeat with less than ten thousand troops.”

Thank you,"God Bin", for the tip. However, I'll just read the book. There's no need to tip me. The results of this book are too bad. I don't even know if I can write it. I'm already quite happy to be able to read it. Don't waste money ~~~
