I am the prince of the Ming Dynasty, I don't give up

Chapter 440 Mongolian Homecoming Group
There were many small-scale battles between the Ming and Mongolian cavalry on the Hetao-Datong-Xuanfu-Duoyanwei line. In each battle, the Ming army relied on its weapons and equipment to not be at a disadvantage.

The flintlock pistol has been improved, with a higher firing rate and reduced weight. Most importantly, the production capacity has caught up. The standard configuration of a Ming cavalryman is two flintlock pistols, and they can be equipped with more if they wish.

The fact that all the Ming cavalry were equipped with flintlock pistols made the Mongolian cavalry very helpless. The appearance of this weapon made their best horse archery useless.

The Mongolian cavalry discovered that the most effective way to kill the Ming army was close combat, but in close combat, one Mongolian cavalryman could not beat one Ming cavalryman. The Mongolian cavalry was at a disadvantage in terms of weapons and equipment as well as training. In terms of fighting will, the Ming army was even stronger than the Mongolian cavalry. The only advantage of the Mongolian cavalry was their riding skills, but this did not play a decisive role.

The biggest problem the Ming army was facing now was that it could not inflict large numbers of casualties on the Mongolian cavalry. Every time the Ming army began to gain the upper hand in a battle, the Mongolian cavalry would quickly retreat and the Ming army could not catch up.

Therefore, the two sides have been stuck in a stalemate and neither side can achieve a decisive victory.

The people who suffered the most in this war were the naturalized Mongols under the control of the Ming Dynasty. Many settlements were looted by Mongolian cavalry, and some even had their people abducted. Many naturalized Mongolian settlements were forced to migrate southward.

But for an ordinary naturalized Mongolian, the feeling about this war is very complicated. On one hand, the Ming army is protecting their property, and on the other hand, their compatriots with the same language and ethnicity are plundering them.
Although they were more inclined to support the Ming army, they could not completely cut off the Mongols from the south emotionally.
In short, the naturalized Mongols were in a very contradictory state, unable to fully support the Ming army, nor completely oppose the Mongols heading south.
Daiqin Taiji led more than 2,000 Mongolian cavalry out of Yinshan Mountain, and the Ming army's enhanced patrol teams did not discover them.

Daiqin Taiji did not lead his army to harass the Han settlements in Hetao, but went straight to the Mongolian settlements.
"Taiji, all the Mongolian traitors in this settlement have been brought here." A Mongolian wearing a green cloth armor said respectfully to Daiqin Taiji.

There were about 600 to 700 naturalized Mongols in the entire settlement. They were all driven out. They looked at the surrounding Mongolian army in bewilderment. They had not yet realized what was going to happen.
Daiqin Taiji rode on his horse and looked down at these naturalized Mongolians. His heart was filled with anger, and his eyes were full of disgust and murderous intent.
This settlement was the tribe that Barsborot and Daiqin Taiji had visited last time. They were reported in this tribe, and then a dozen Mongolian youths were taken away from this tribe. Those dozen Mongolian youths became the beginning of his nightmare, causing his tribe to go south to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, becoming a laughing stock for everyone, and greatly reducing their strength. Even his own brother died because of this.
It was precisely because of this that after he led the troops, he did not go anywhere else, but went straight here, just to vent his hatred.
"Now that everyone is here, let's start," Daiqin Taiji said loudly.

The naturalized Mongolians all looked at Daiqin Taiji. Many of them recognized him and their faces changed. Daiqin Taiji used to be famous in the Mongolian tribes near Hetao for his tough style, strong military force, and harsh treatment of others.
A dozen or so people who were tied up were pushed out, and there was a commotion among the naturalized Mongolians, because these dozen people were appointed by the Ming Dynasty to manage this tribe, and they were all Mongolians who had undergone ideological transformation in Tangshan.
"What should we do? Please give us instructions, Taiji!" The Mongolian man wearing green cloth armor continued to ask.

"Buzhigude, these people have lost their conscience. Not only did they surrender to the Ming people, but they also slandered the great Genghis Khan. They are truly guilty of heinous crimes. So I want to see what color their hearts are. I want to see whether the hearts of the Ming people have turned black," Daiqin Taiji said lightly.

There was a commotion among the naturalized Mongolians, and the dozen or so tied Mongolians immediately began to struggle violently.
Uncle Gulisi couldn't help but shouting in the crowd: "Taiji, we are all Mongolians. Even if you want to kill, just kill us quickly and don't use such cruel means!" "Cruel? That's just the beginning. Don't be in a hurry." Daiqin Taiji sneered and said.

Daiqin Taiji's words made everyone shudder
"Bujigude, what are you standing there for? Why don't you take action?" Daiqin Taiji looked at Burigude and said.

Buzhigude carefully observed Daiqin Taiji's expression, and Daiqin Taiji also noticed his observation and gave him a fierce look.
Buzhigude swallowed hard. Based on his understanding of Daiqin Taiji, if he disobeyed again, Daiqin Taiji would be really angry.
"Yes!" Buzhigude agreed reluctantly.

He brought people to find a sharp knife for slaughtering cattle, and in the victim's terrified and pleading eyes, he stripped off his clothes and cut open the victim's chest with the knife. Blood spurted out like a stream of water.
The still beating hearts were placed in front of Daiqin Taiji. Daiqin Taiji looked at the hearts and smiled with satisfaction: "This heart is not evil, how can it do so many evil things?"

Everyone remained silent. They all felt a little uncomfortable. Although they often killed sheep and cattle, killing people like this still made them feel uncomfortable.

"Let them see clearly, this is the end of betraying the Khan!" Daiqin Taiji said, pointing at the naturalized Mongolians.

The hearts were brought to the naturalized Mongols, who turned away from them in fear.
"There is another thing. Two months ago, I accompanied the Khan here, and someone secretly reported the news of the Khan's arrival to the Ming army. Who was it? Stand up!" Daiqin Taiji clapped his hands and continued to ask.

The naturalized Mongolians were all silent. They all knew who that person was, but no one pointed it out because everyone knew that if they pointed it out, they would be killed.
"You're not coming out, are you?" Daiqin Taiji sneered, "I have many ways."

Still no one stood up.
"Then it's you." Daiqin Taiji pointed at a young naturalized Mongolian and said, "Dig out his heart!"

"Enough! It's me!" A voice suddenly came from the crowd.
It was the gray-haired uncle Gulisi, who immediately made way for him in the crowd and slowly walked towards Daiqin Taiji.
