The issue of Han Banner slaves in the Later Jin Dynasty was like a cancer to the Ming Dynasty.

Most of these slaves of the Han army were in their prime of life, and all of them were strong and brave. Their level of bravery was no less than that of real slaves.

Their military literacy is obviously one, or even several, levels higher than that of most Ming armies.

You can almost say that.

If you pick out a few soldiers and slaves of the Han army flag at random, almost all of them can serve as the personal bodyguards of the general-level officers of the Ming army.

but.

After all, this was either during the Anti-Japanese War when China had already had the inspiration of the May Fourth Movement and the New Democracy Movement, or it was the legendary Imperial Army.

, most members of the Royal Association Army still have room for salvation.

At this time, although the court rituals and music had not collapsed, the rituals and music among the people, especially in the Liao Dynasty, had already collapsed.

You can't even eat, your wife and children are starving to death, and you can't live anymore. Who the hell cares about your country, nation, and justice?

Whoever gives food, women, land, and money is the master.

Compared with the meager treatment of the Ming army, which can't even be paid, or should I say, is this even worth comparing?

Of course, the Changsheng Camp is definitely the biggest anomaly among the Ming army!

As long as they follow him Li Yuanqing wholeheartedly and are willing to sacrifice their lives for him, whether it is land, beautiful houses, women, or money, Li Yuanqing will never lose his brothers.

This is probably the most critical reason why these slaves of the Han Army flag with blue flags risk their lives to join Li Yuanqing instead of taking refuge with others!

And Li Yuanqing walked around the camps where the Han Army Flag surrendered, and he could clearly feel that these Han Army Flag slaves were very confident in themselves.

They were very confident that with their abilities, they could get a good meal with wine and meat under Li Yuanqing's command.

But after all, the Changsheng Battalion is far from comparable to other Ming army sequences.

Although these more than a hundred slaves with blue flags and Han army flags are not weak in personal strength and have a certain integrity, in Li Yuanqing's view, they still lack a lot of things.

Just like Qi Jiguang's criteria for selecting soldiers back then, they must be from good families.

Because Liangjiazi does not have many bad habits, he is like a blank piece of paper, he can give orders and prohibitions, and he can serve them with peace of mind.

Then the Hou Jin Dynasty, their control of the Han banner was obviously like letting wolves loose, adopting a predatory "free range" method.

How could Li Yuanqing use them?

Think about it.

Li Yuanqing finally adopted a "taizu" method that Taizu had used at that time. There was only one word, and that was ----- dragging.

Gather these Han army flag slaves together first, confiscate their weapons and armor, and do not assign tasks to them. They will only be assigned a small amount of light physical labor, and the good wine and meat will serve them first.

Just like 'buying a horse's bones with a thousand pounds', in terms of face, take care of everything first.

Although Chen Zhong was extremely dissatisfied with Li Yuanqing's method of handling the situation, Chen Zhong also understood that this was the best way to deal with the situation at this time.

Having these Han Banner slaves here is like planting a seed in the hearts of all the Han Banner slaves in Houjin.

After seeing Chen Zhong off, Li Yuanqing lit a cigar.

Although these slaves of the Han army are guilty and even deserve death, they are like a double-edged sword. The key is to see how to use it...

…………

Early the next morning, the forward sentry sent back the news.

Jierhalang and the main force of the Hou Jin Army have already moved north along the way, heading towards the front line of Jincheng Lake. They obviously have no intention of going to Seoul.

Li Yuanqing also had to admire Jierhalang.

This guy is worthy of being friends with Huang Taiji.

He should have obviously guessed that his actual target was not on them.

However, even if Jierhalang does not join the game, Li Yuanqing's plan must continue to be implemented.

Without the supplement of "free" labor from North Korea, Li Yuanqing would not be able to truly liberate the productivity of southern Liaoning and put the entire southern Liaoning industry on the fast track in a short period of time.

This is something Li Yuanqing will never tolerate!

Even in terms of the imperial court, Li Yuanqing had to put in a lot of effort.

The entire army was ordered to follow the original plan and head to Seoul along the coast. However, just a few miles away, statistics on the results of the battle from Mao Wenlong's rear came out.

Riding on the horse, with Chen Wuyuan leading the horse, Li Yuanqing looked at the results of the battle report in his hand, and the smile on his face could no longer be concealed.

In the Anzhou battle, the Ming army actually captured more than 1,500 real slave heads, and the total number of Han flags and Mongolians totaled nearly 2,000.

Adding them all up, the number of Tatar heads alone has exceeded three thousand!

Although this is not much different from the heads that Li Yuanqing captured on Juehua Island back then, Li Yuanqing used more clever tricks in the battle of Juehua Island, but at this time, it was a real head-on battle!

It is no exaggeration to say that this is definitely the greatest victory in the true sense of the country in the past few decades!

Mao Wenlong, Chen Jisheng, Mao Chenglu, Zhang Pan, Chen Liangce, including a large number of old brothers and young brothers, if each of them has been promoted by one or two levels, that is enough.

Not to mention, there are nearly 700,000 taels of cash, various goods, cattle and sheep, large tents, weapons, armor and many other materials.

If all were converted into silver, the harvest would be at least one million taels.

If you add the more than 40,000 Korean slaves and nearly 30,000 women, then the harvest is simply...

Chen Wuyuan, who was leading Li Yuanqing's horse in the front, also felt that Li Yuanqing seemed to be in a good mood today, and couldn't help but secretly glance at Li Yuanqing from time to time, looking like a tiger.

Li Yuanqing also couldn't imagine how an old man like Chen Liangce could give birth to such a simple and honest son as Chen Wuyuan.

Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Wu Yuan, what kind of official status do you have now?"

"ah?"

Chen Wuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was doing, and said with a hurried smile: "General, the humble position is now 100 households. Hehe. It can't be regarded as 100 households, it should be a trial of 100 households."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile: "The position of a sixteen-year-old Baihu is not low! When I was sixteen, I had not even joined the army yet."

How dare Chen Wuyuan pick up on Li Yuanqing's words? He just smiled and led his horse obediently.

In the past few days, Li Yuanqing has gotten to know a little bit about Chen Wuyuan's temperament. This guy looks quite honest on the outside, but in fact, he understands it in his heart.

After a moment, Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Wu Yuan, do you want to kill the Tatars and get promoted?"

"Well?"

It took Chen Wuyuan a moment to react and hurriedly said: "General, I'm humble, I don't want to be humble."

Li Yuanqing laughed loudly: "Do you really don't want to, or do you just pretend that you don't want to?"

Chen Wuyuan saw that Li Yuanqing was in a good mood, like a defeated little rooster, and said dejectedly: "General, this humble position, this humble position makes me dream of killing Tatars, wanting to be promoted, and wanting to be like you, general. But, my dad doesn't.

Let me give the battlefield to you."

He secretly glanced at Li Yuanqing and said, "You won't let a humble person go to the battlefield."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "You kid! Remember this! From now on, you can't tell me lies. Whatever you think, just tell me honestly! Do you understand?"

Chen Wuyuan quickly nodded obediently.

Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Okay! Don't wilt, you kid! You want to go to the battlefield, don't you? I'll give you a chance, Uncle Li!"

"Really?" Chen Wuyuan was so happy that he almost jumped three feet high.

…………

Because the main force of Houjin in Jilhalang was not far from the Ming army area, Li Yuanqing's marching speed had not been fast.

Every day, I walked up to fifteen miles, usually about ten miles, slowly but steadily approaching Seoul.

At the same time, Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong also reached a new compromise.

In terms of property, Li Yuanqing continued to give up 10% and only took 20%. However, these 40,000 Korean prisoners, more than 20,000, and nearly 30,000 young Korean women were all assigned to Li Yuanqing's rule.

Although Mao Wenlong gained a lot from this battle, for Mao Wenlong, his family background was still too thin.

He wanted these Koreans, but they were of little use. Instead, they became a burden for food and drink. Without much hesitation, he agreed to Li Yuanqing's request.

But in terms of the camps of the main force of the Jin army, Li Yuanqing wanted a lot more from Mao Wenlong.

At this time, from the mouth of the Daning River in Anzhou to the direction close to Seoul, there were various camps and tents everywhere along the coast.

Except for some strong Korean slaves who had to follow the two main forces of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong to transport supplies, most of the remaining Korean slaves began to be densely packed along the seaside, ranging from dozens to a few people.

Under the supervision of Ming soldiers and sailors, they began to cut through the ice on the seaside and build nets for fishing.

It is right that Li Yuanqing wants to support these Korean laborers, but he will never allow them to eat for free and must maximize their surplus value.

Over the years, Changsheng Camp has already gained rich experience in fishing.

It was already entering late March, when spring flowers were blooming and sea fish were very delicious. How could Li Yuanqing waste this opportunity?

Especially for women, these seafood are rich in nutrients, making it easier for them to regain their strength.

More importantly, it can be self-sufficient and reduce Li Yuanqing's consumption.

It's a pity that Jierhalang kept running northward and didn't even dare to look back. In less than ten days, he had traveled at least five hundred miles.
