In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 91 Favoring the Han Chinese
"Everyone, let's do this. If you are worried, how about we make an oath together now. I promise that I will never invade other tribes without reason in the future and am willing to coexist peacefully with everyone?"

Faced with everyone's doubts, Lin Rui did not explain anymore, but directly proposed that everyone make an oath together.

The leaders' eyes suddenly lit up. The reason why they stayed here and refused to leave was because they wanted the two of them to promise not to invade other Khalkha tribes in the future.
After all, the Charcoal Division is over, and revenge is non-existent. Even if they beat the two away today, they might come back for revenge at some point.

As for the Jurchens, if they were reliable, five Khalkhas would not have been wiped out one after another.

This Han family man cooperated with Namu Zhong, and there were not only Mongolians but also Han people in the team. When the Jurchens came to hunt them down, they fled back to the Ming Dynasty. As soon as the Jurchens left, they came back to fight, making it impossible to guard against them.

Even if their strongholds on the grassland were uprooted, it would be difficult to eliminate them.

So peaceful coexistence is the best option.

Obviously, these leaders are all aware of the fact that Jurchen, Lin Rui and others escaped and chased into the Great Wall.

"Then if the Qing Dynasty asks us to send troops to attack you, we will certainly not be able to refuse. What should we do?"

After everyone thought for a moment, one of them said again, and the others nodded.

"It's easy to handle. As long as you work hard and don't contribute, I will not pursue retaliation. And in order to show that we are not attacking the charcoal department just to rob people, cattle and sheep, I am willing to take away the 2000 people and all the cattle, sheep and horses captured yesterday." , and other materials, all exchanged to you."

Lin Rui said slowly, before they have the strength to protect these tribes, they cannot be forced to choose one or the other. It is undoubtedly the wisest to allow them to have one foot on both sides.

At the beginning, the Horqin tribe asked Lin Danhan for help because of the Jurchen invasion. As a result, Lin Danhan was beaten to the ground by Nurhaci. In desperation, the Horqin tribe had no choice but to surrender like the Jurchens.

Originally, the Horqin tribe still loved Lin Dan Khan. After all, they were all Mongols, and Lin Dan Khan was still a direct descendant of the Golden Family. However, Lin Dan Khan himself was unable to protect the Horqin tribe, and he did not allow them to surrender to the Jurchens, and even led people to attack Horqin. department.

As a result, Horqin was forced to completely fall to the Jurchens, and together with the Jurchens, he beat Lin Danhan until his buttocks were wet.

And in this regard, Huang Taiji did quite well.

"Oh, what can I exchange for it? How can I exchange it?"

The leaders immediately became enthusiastic and completely forgot about the destruction of the Qi Tan tribe.

After all, if the two really wanted to annex the entire Khalkha tribe, they would not be able to live in peace with the remaining five small tribes in the north.

"Of course, people are exchanged. Girls and boys can be used. For a boy, in addition to a man, five cows, fifty sheep, twenty kilograms of grain, a kilogram of salt, and a tent...the same is true for a girl. In addition to one woman, add five cows..."

After Lin Rui finished explaining the terms of the deal, the more than a dozen leaders' breathing became rapid, and they immediately began to whisper among each other.

Obviously, the trading conditions proposed by Lin Rui are really a good deal.

"Okay! Han family Lang, Na Mu Zhong, we are willing to make an oath and trade with you. From now on, we will not invade each other and coexist peacefully!"

"Okay, come here with the people you want to trade in three days, and I will make an oath with you."

"When the time comes, I will also participate in the name of the Golden Family, and we will kill the cow and swear together that we will not invade each other in the future!"

Lin Rui and Na Muzhong looked at each other and said one after another.

Then everyone talked about the number of people to be traded, and then returned to the tribe with their own troops.

Obviously, in the grassland where the weak are the strongest, although there is no moral sympathy at all and there are only tangible benefits, credibility is particularly important.

Because it is difficult for a tribe that is not trustworthy to survive on the grassland. Once you break your trust, no one will believe you in the future.

Lin Rui and Na Muzhong also led people back to the Qi Tan tribe's station and began to count the loot.

As a large tribe of 3000 people, the seizure was still very generous. In addition to the population of more than 2000, there were also livestock, including 5000 horses, more than 3 cattle, and more than [-] sheep.Then the tent leather and various tools were quickly reduced to a small mountain. There were not many grains, salt, tea leaves, and cloth, but these were the last things Lin Rui cared about now.

There were also a lot of scimitars, bows, arrows, and leather armor, but apart from the bows and leather armor, Lin Rui didn't care much about scimitars and arrows either.

"Husband, many of those wounded can no longer ride horses. Why don't we send them back to their respective tribes to recuperate?"

Hubbell walked over and said in a low tone. Apparently, he had just finished visiting the wounded.

"Well, then send someone to send them back in a carriage. When leaving, everyone will be given some food, salt, tea leaves and cloth. By the way, for those brothers who died in the battle, prepare a portion for each of their families to take with them! "

Lin Rui nodded, this time it was really a stretch. Nearly [-] Mongolian teenagers were reduced at once, and with the losses that have occurred one after another in recent times, the number has almost reached [-].

"Rui Lang, we can't fight tough battles like this in the future. Otherwise, if we continue, morale will be low and deserters will appear."

Na Muzhong thought about the casualties this time and said with a worried look. This kind of blocking people in the camp and beating them would cause too many casualties.

"I know, don't worry, there is nothing we can do this time. From now on, we Han people will fight this kind of battle. You only need to be responsible for the guerrilla cover."

Lin Rui also knew that it was too wasteful and uneconomical to let the Mongolian cavalry fight this kind of battle. If the Han people were not all new soldiers this time, without armor, shields and spears, he would not have let the Mongolian cavalry charge from the front.

After all, there are specialties in the art, and the Mongolian cavalry is good at stray shots and quick raids, not such frontal attacks and melee combat.

This kind of fighting method is what the Han people are good at. If the 3000 Han people this time are all trained, they will all have armor and shields.

With the cooperation of the spear, knife and shield, there will not be so many casualties at all, and the opponent can be easily eliminated.

"Well, after all, our Mongolian cavalry is really not suitable for such a battle."

Hearing what Lin Rui said, Namuzhong breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, she didn't dare to tell Lin Rui that when she comforted the teenagers yesterday, many of them were a little dissatisfied, thinking that Lin Rui favored the Han people and used the Mongolians as cannon fodder. Even she felt like this.

After all, if the Han people on the left and right sides rushed first or rushed together, their Mongolian cavalry would never have suffered so many casualties.

"Sister Namuzhong, in fact, my husband is not favoring the Han people. It's just that the newly recruited Han people don't have armor or shields, and they don't know how to ride a horse. They are a living target when faced with the bows and arrows of the Charcoal Tribe.

In comparison, our Mongolian cavalry can not only charge on horseback, but also hide under the horse's belly to avoid bows and arrows. The casualties are much smaller. This time, the main reason is that we have never fought this kind of battle before, so we suffered heavy losses. "

Hubbell thought for a while but explained that apparently many Mongolian boys and girls had also complained to her.

"Of course I know this. I'm just reminding you. After all, we didn't rob a single woman in Daming this time. The women from the beggar tribe we just captured will also be traded away."

"Okay, let's have a meeting in the evening and I will explain it to everyone in person. Just say it, take a long-term view and don't always worry about the petty gains at the moment."

Lin Rui waved his hand.

I felt helpless because the Mongols were much more difficult to manage than the Han people.

No wonder people say that Chinese people are the most suitable to serve as soldiers.

Although the Mongols are born warriors, they are not soldiers. There is an essential difference between soldiers and warriors.

But we can only strengthen the ideological work in the future and speed up the integration of Han and Mongolian people. Otherwise, more conflicts will break out in the future and even evolve into mutual hatred.
