Chongzhen Daming: Starting from Coal Mountain

Chapter 604 Forced Landing in Horqin

This is more than 3 horses, which is a huge fortune.

But in the end, Zhu Cijiong still resisted the temptation, shook his head and said, "Hey, I can't eat too much, the most urgent thing is to make an emergency landing on the Horqin people who are trapped in the wintering camp."

"Ding Wang is wise." Wang Fuzhi also deeply agreed with this.

"Not surprisingly, Ersen and others from the Horqin Department must also be trapped in the camp."

"As long as Esen is willing to surrender, the entire Ten Banners of the Horqin Tribe and even their cattle, sheep and horses will all belong to Daming? Why should we rush for a while?"

While a few people were talking, the Horqin people had completely retreated to the camp.

The Ming army and the Korean army also completed the encirclement from eight directions.

Seeing that the overall situation has been settled, Zhu Cijiong said with a smile: "Let's go down and meet the Horqin people for a while."

Zhu Cijiong and his party went down the mountain and went straight to the wintering camp, but more than 2000 cavalry remained on hold. One was to be vigilant in case the Horqin people had reinforcements, and the other was to look after the children.

Thousands of children in Horqin are behind the mountain ridge.

……

At this time, in Ersen's king's tent, the Taijibeiles of Horqin's Ten Banners were in a panic. Among these Taijibeles, Bumbutai's father, Buhe, and several sons were among them.

Buhe and Ersen are actually cousins.

Buhe's father Manggus and Ersen's father Hong Guoer are brothers.

There are also several other flags of Taiji Belle who are also related.

The Horqin people really played it off this time, and the top management was almost taken over by the pot.

Of course, even if the high-level officials were not taken over by the pot, the Horqin tribe was already in turmoil, because all the strong men in the tribe had been wiped out, so what could the remaining women and children do?
At this time, these Mongolian nobles were no longer as domineering as usual, nor did they think about being stubborn, but father and son brothers hugged each other and cried bitterly. Their ancestors would probably be so angry that they would come to life if they saw this scene. Die again, these sheep are not worthy to be the descendants of our golden family.

Among them, Bu and his father and son were the saddest.

We were originally relatives of the Qing Dynasty, so how did we become prisoners?

God of Changsheng, open your eyes quickly and take away those bright dogs outside.

Unfortunately, no matter how much you pray to the Changshengtian, you can't change the ending.

Soon, a soldier of the Ming army boldly entered, and said in a loud voice: "The military department of the Ming Dynasty gave the matter to Wang Fuzhi, who came to Xiaoyuer and other Mongolian peoples under the order of His Highness Wang Ding. Before they feel happy, put down their weapons and kneel down and beg for surrender. May you forgive me?" If you don't die, the old, young, women and children in the clan can still live, if you don't put down your weapons before you feel happy..."

After saying this, Wang Fuzhi glanced coldly at everyone in the tent.

"If you still refuse to put down your weapon before you feel comfortable, you will be killed on the spot!"

"All the women and children of Horqin's tribes were also killed, leaving no one behind!"

Hearing this, Ersen was both frightened and ashamed, and said in a sly way: "Come here, pull it out and chop it!"

"Hey!" Even though two attendants rushed forward and put the shining scimitar on Wang Fu's neck, Wang Fuzhi remained unmoved at all and just looked at Er Sen coldly.

In just a moment, Er Sen was sitting on the carpet like a defeated rooster.

What's the use of fighting for it now?When they broke out just now, more than 3 people attacked more than 3000 Ming soldiers, and they were all beaten to pieces by the Ming soldiers. Now they are surrounded by more than 2 Ming soldiers and the Korean Legion in the camp. How can they escape?Continuing to resist can only lead to death. After all, this is just a winter camp, not a fortified city like Shengjing.

What's more, even if it is a strong city like Shengjing, the Horqin people may not be able to defend it.

That's all, Ersen sighed, and said sadly: "The order is to disarm the whole army."

"My lord, don't do it!" There were still several Taiji Belles who didn't want to surrender, so they stopped them loudly.

"Our Horqin tribe still has more than [-] warriors, and we can still fight the Ming army. It is still unknown who will win the battle."

"Yes, my lord, even if we die, we have to fight the Ming army outside and fight for a way out for the women and children who stay in the old camps of the banners. Otherwise, the Ming dog will definitely come to the door and destroy the entire Horqin!"

But these main combat factions were soon besieged by other surrender factions.

"Nonsense, if we are all killed in battle, will the women and children in the old camp still have a way out?"

"Women and children who stay in the old camp are not protected by men, and sooner or later they will become slaves of the Raksha people."

"Right now, we have to bear the burden of humiliation and save our lives. After all, people in the Ming Dynasty still valued credibility. Duoyan Sanwei's status in the Ming Dynasty was not low back then. Wuliangha people can do it, and we Kerqin people can do the same."

Wang Fuzhi couldn't understand the Mongolian words spoken by Taijibel.

But Wang Fuzhi can still make a rough judgment from their expressions and tone. If there is no accident, Horqin Mongolia should surrender, and the surrender faction has already gained the upper hand.

……

In fact, the capitulation faction did gain the upper hand, and several Taijibels who fought in the main battle were quickly tied up.

Ersen also asked his attendants to tie him up, and then followed Wang Fuzhi to meet Zhu Cijiong outside the camp. After seeing Zhu Cijiong, he immediately knelt on the ground and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.

The ceremony of kneeling three times and knocking nine times was made by Huang Taiji.

Before the Ming Dynasty, there was no such thing as kneeling three times and knocking nine times.

After performing the great gift, Ersen presented his treasured sword again.

Zhu Cijiong took the sword and said calmly: "E Sen, God has the virtue of loving life, and I don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately. I am very pleased that you can put down your swords and join Daming."

In fact, according to Zhu Cijiong's original intention, he really wanted to kill all the Horqin people.

In the past few decades, Jiannu entered the customs five times to rob people and property. The Horqin people, as Jiannu's staunch allies, did a lot of evil in Daming territory, so Zhu Cijiong really wanted them to pay with their blood.

But Zhu Cijiong also kept in mind his father's teachings: To put it bluntly, racial disputes are actually a struggle for the right to survive. In essence, there is no right or wrong. The problem cannot be solved simply by killing. The most desirable countermeasure is actually assimilation.

What is assimilation?It is to let other ethnic groups speak Chinese, read Chinese, and learn to write Chinese characters.

Another point, Zhu Cijiong also kept in mind that population is the most precious resource of Ming Dynasty.

So Zhu Cijiong suppressed his desire to kill and was willing to give the Horqin people a chance to survive, which in turn would increase the population of Daming by tens of thousands.

Er Sen hurriedly said: "It all depends on King Ding's grace."

Zhu Cijiong waved his hand, and said again: "Esen, if Gu's guess is correct, all the ten banners of your Horqin tribe should be out of the strong men this time, right? Then the only ones left in the old camps of the banners are women, children and the elderly."

"Yes." Er Sen said sadly, "Ding Wang is merciful, please give us Horqin people a way to survive?"

"Gu is very willing to give you Horqin people a way to survive." Zhu Cijiong nodded and said, "The problem is, you Horqin people have to show enough sincerity."

"Please also ask King Ding to point out a clear way."

Esen behaved as humble as possible, he had to bow his head under the eaves.

"Loyalty to Ming Dynasty and become my vassal tribe!" Zhu Cijiong stared into Ersen's eyes and said solemnly, "It's like Duoyan Sanwei in the early Ming Dynasty."

"You should serve yourself." Ersen responded with a full mouth.

If you don't agree, you can't do it. If you don't agree, the whole tribe will be destroyed immediately.

So I can only respond first, let's wait until later to talk about the future.

Anyway, Er Sen had already thought about it, as long as the people of the Ming Dynasty were willing to spare their lives, there would be plenty of opportunities to escape.

"Essen County King, you made the most sensible decision today!" Zhu Cijiong will not believe it easily, and there will naturally be follow-up arrangements, "Go back and tell the Taiji Belles of Zhuqi, let the rest of the Banner sent a few nobles to return to their old camps and move all the women, children and the population here."

"This..." Er Sen suddenly looked embarrassed.

The left-wing front banner led by Esen has been completely destroyed.

Cattle, sheep, horses, camels and even women and children were all captured.

But the cattle, sheep, women and children of the other nine banners are still there.

Therefore, as long as these strong men can manage to escape back, the Horqin tribe will soon recover, and it will still be a force that cannot be ignored on the grassland.

But if all the cattle, sheep, women and children from all the banners were moved here, the Horqin tribe would have no way out, and from now on they could only be the loyal lackeys of Ming Dynasty.

"What? You don't want to?"

Zhu Cijiong's expression turned cold instantly.

"Uh, no, of course we would."

Ersen was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "It's just that it's just freezing, and there are still wolves on the grassland. If there are no strong men to protect them, cattle, sheep, women and children will be in danger."

Er Sen imagined that he could take thousands of strong men out.

"I've already thought about this point." Zhu Cijiong was impeccable in his work.

"Safety is indeed very important, so the orphan will send Ming troops to protect women, children, cattle and sheep."

Now Ersen had nothing to say, he could only thank him unhappily: "Thank you, King Ding."

Watching Ersen leave, Zhu Cijiong said to Xia Wanchun again: "Brother Duan, immediately send flying cavalry to Dagukou to report victory, and say that our Liaodong Army has wiped out Horqin Mongolia."

"Yes!" Xia Wanchun readily agreed.

……

The good news from Liaodong was quickly sent to Dagukou.

Because the messenger is faster on the ice linden than on the horse.

After reading the good news, Chongzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Chongzhen immediately said to Xu Yingwei, Yan Yingyuan and other scholars: "I have good news for you. King Ding successfully landed more than [-] horses in Horqin Mongolia by hanging sheep and beating drums in Liaodong."

"Forcibly landed more than [-] riders? Hasn't Horqin Mongolia been wiped out?"

"Yes, Horqin Mongolia has a total population of more than [-], and all the strong men are only more than [-]. This time, one guy was annihilated by King Ding for more than [-] horses. Isn't it just old, young, women and children left?"

Xu Yingwei, Yan Yingyuan and other scholars all exclaimed after hearing this.

Apart from being surprised, he couldn't help admiring Zhu Cijiong's ability to use troops.

"My lord, King Ding's use of troops has the demeanor of a great Han champion."

"In my opinion, the champion prince is not as good as Ding Wang, only soldiers and immortals can compare."

Everyone carried the bridal sedan chair, under such circumstances, everyone was willing to praise Zhu Cijiong.
