Regarding the scout war, Huang Taiji attempted to rely on the Manchus who had been fighting for so many years and had trained so many elite scouts to use up the Guan Ning Army and the New Army at night. But if he knew what happened in Haizhou at this time, he might lose his temper again.

While the dust was flying, a large number of cavalry troops arrived at the foot of Haizhou City. They started from Guihua City and were assigned to the elite Mongolians here in Liaodong. Cao Wenzhao was very happy about this and went to the city gate to inspect the cavalry in person.

To be honest, in the recent scout war, although the Ming army had the new army as an example due to the implementation of the reward mechanism, the campaign to build captives and scout horses was not for nothing. Indeed, both sides suffered a bit of heavy losses. This kind of war, although smaller in scale than regular war, is more intense. You come and go, often killing a thousand enemies and damaging yourself eight hundred.

What Cao Wenzhao didn't expect was that after reporting the battle situation here to Emperor Chongzhen, he actually sent this cavalry army over. Moreover, the cavalry army that came was not an established cavalry army, but a cavalry army that was allowed to be supplemented and arranged here. This means that these cavalry can be disassembled and arranged into any team at will.

If we say who is the most powerful in horseback riding, if the Mongolians are second, no one dares to be first. The reason why the Mongols were incompetent was simply because of poor equipment, weak leaders, and fierce internal fighting. But after these Mongols join the Ming army, the above constraints will no longer exist.

What made Cao Wenzhao even more happy was that these cavalry troops also brought many excellent war horses. This is simply an even more powerful force for the Ming army to stay at night.

Cao Wenzhao couldn't help but sigh on the top of the city: "Your Majesty has taken back the Hetao and incorporated the Mongolian tribes. It is really a wise move!"

From now on, the Ming Dynasty's army will not lack excellent war horses, nor will it lack knights who are skilled in bows and horses. Ming Dynasty's combat power will definitely become stronger!

For this reason, Cao Wenzhao even specially summoned these cavalry troops from Hetao, personally announced to them the rewards and punishments in Haizhou, and told them that with the real heads of the Tatars who built the captives, they could immediately exchange for fertile land. Choose from Liaodong or Hetao areas. Of course, you can also accumulate military merits to upgrade. Zhongyong Bomangui is their best example, and the court will never treat him badly!

Therefore, in the next sortie of the Ming army, the number of people in each team suddenly increased, almost twice that of the previous team. Most of the composition was led by the cavalry in the new army, who led Guan Ning to fight with Mongolian elites and Jianlu captives at night.

Originally, when the Ming army did not stop at night and met Jianlu, they mostly wanted to dismount and fight on foot. But with the addition of Mongolian elites, these Mongolian elites could not dismount, and they cooperated with the dismounted troops to attack Jianlu and explore the horses without closing the enemy troops. In addition, there were more people than Jianlu and Tanma. Suddenly, in this small-scale war, Jianlu obviously suffered a disadvantage, and the number of losses suddenly increased.

This military information was immediately compiled and reported to Shenyang. When Huang Taiji saw it, he became worried again.

The military newspaper said that the Ming army was very brave and often stared at real Manchu warriors to kill them. In ordinary encounters, as long as they are handed over to each other, those Tanma from the Han army can often escape with their lives, but the Manchu Tanma will be bitten to death by the Ming army at night.

"It's too much to bully others, it's simply too much to bully others!" Huang Taiji roared angrily. The Ming army took advantage of the weakness of the Manchu tribe's small number of people. If this consumption continues, there will be fewer and fewer Manchu men in their prime. How can the Qing Dynasty control various ministries?

At this time, Huang Taiji felt a deep sense of powerlessness. Compared to the Ming Dynasty, this kind of congenital shortcoming could not be changed no matter how wise and powerful Huang Taiji was. What made him even more helpless was that all the Mongolian tribes turned to the Ming Dynasty. Today, a large number of Mongolians join the Ming army at night and fight against the Qing Dynasty. This is a very conspicuous example.

It is undeniable that the Mongols cannot fight head-on, but if they fight together, they can exert their full strength. Now it seems that this kind of scout war is not consuming the Ming army at all, but consuming the Qing warriors!

In desperation, Huang Taiji finally issued a decree to the only Mongolian ally, the Horqin tribe, asking the Horqin tribe to send a thousand cavalry troops to assist the Qing Dynasty in the scout war.

When this decree came to the Horqin tribe, Bu and them were troubled. So, Hai Lanzhu sent a private message to Emperor Chongzhen, asking him to make up his mind.

Emperor Chongzhen was still on his way back to Beijing. When he saw Hai Lanzhu's message, he knew that Huang Taiji was a little exhausted, but he didn't want to lose his ability to shield military intelligence in the wild. After understanding this, he replied to Hailanzhu: "It's simple. When you Horqin Tribe's Tanma went out to fight, you just surrendered. By the way, you deceived Jianlu Tanma, which is a credit!"

Hai Lanzhu could receive his reply immediately, so he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, if you tell them this, what if someone informs Huang Taiji and he immediately sends troops to attack our Horqin tribe? ?”

"Of course we can't say it clearly!" Emperor Chongzhen was a little speechless, so he had to point out, "The only tribe that still relies on Jianlu on the eastern grassland is your Horqin tribe. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for the morale of your Horqin tribe to be restored. Is it very high?"

"What does this have to do with anything?" Hai Lanzhu was a little confused.

When Emperor Chongzhen saw this, he continued to explain: "Then you can send those people who are depressed. Before leaving, you might as well let your subordinates reveal privately how other tribes are treated by our Ming Dynasty. As long as we surrender to the Ming Dynasty, There will be preferential treatment, and if there is meritorious service, there will be rewards."

When Hailanzhu saw it, she still frowned and was very dissatisfied with the answer. However, she saw that Emperor Chongzhen had not finished speaking, so she endured her temper and continued to listen.

"When you are about to leave, you Eqige might as well summon them to give a lecture and strictly prohibit the spread of such unfavorable news in the army. At the same time, I lament that the tribe is in trouble and its prospects are dim. In this case, I don't believe that those of you Horqin tribe will still be here. Use deadly force! As long as they don't use deadly force, they will naturally not suffer any casualties."

When Hai Lanzhu heard this, his heart finally moved and his eyes lit up.

"And I will also explain here that we are not allowed to kill all the Mongolian probing horses. As long as they surrender, they will be accepted. In this way, the things that happened on the battlefield still make Huang Taiji doubt you? At most, he thinks that your Horqin tribe has no war. It’s just strength!”

Regarding this solution, Hai Lanzhu finally accepted: "Then I will convey this method to my Eqi Ge."

When she was about to log off, she felt that she was still a little unsure, so she asked again: "Your Majesty, when will our Horqin tribe be able to legitimately break away from Jianlu?"

"I am already on my way back to the capital. When I get to the capital, I will have a result after discussing with the important ministers!" Emperor Chongzhen used this to appease Hai Lanzhu.

Hailanzhu listened and finally went offline. In fact, she didn't know that the arrangements for the Horqin tribe had already begun when Emperor Chongzhen came up with this idea.
