Ming Dynasty: Ask Zhu Yuanzhang to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 210: Butcher? No, the most distinguished guest on the grassland!
It was sunset now.

The setting sun is like blood.

The sky is filled with sunset.

The red sky like a fire and the emerald green earth interweave into a beautiful picture.

Zhu Neng stood on a high place on horseback, took out a telescope, and looked at the tents, people and horses in the distance.

The royal court itself is a large tribe with a population of tens of thousands.

At this moment, some people are leisurely herding cattle and sheep, and some seem to be chatting...

After observing for a while, he quickly came to the conclusion that the other party was not ready for a fight, nor did he intend to escape.

This is an opportunity.

The configuration of the army led by Zhu Neng was basically the same as that of Zhang Fu's 3,000 new troops.

Mainly relying on horse-drawn carriages, although these carriages did not move very fast, he still had 600 cavalrymen.

Using six hundred cavalrymen to attack a tribe of tens of thousands of people seems a bit crazy no matter how you look at it.

You have to know that the tribes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were not the villages and towns in the Central Plains.

A tribe with tens of thousands of people means at least several thousand warriors.

Those who can guard the royal court must be the elite among the elite.

But as long as the enemy is unprepared and attacked suddenly, the new army still has a high chance of winning.

When the Tang Dynasty conquered the Eastern Turks, Li Jing led 3,000 Tang troops and took the Yinshan Trail to launch a surprise attack on the Turkish royal court. At that time, the Turkish royal court had hundreds of thousands of troops, which was much larger than the royal court in front of him.

But in that battle, Li Jing led 3,000 elite cavalrymen and forced the Turkic royal court, which had hundreds of thousands of troops, to flee in panic.

This is the advantage of using the prepared to defeat the unprepared.

Military spirit, morale, and combat readiness are all different.

Once the country falls into chaos, the army will become panic-stricken and may easily collapse.

Once an army collapses, the number of its troops becomes meaningless.

What's more, the new army soldiers are still holding flintlock rifles in their hands.

There was also artillery support carried by horse-drawn carriages behind.

Artillery shells could throw them into chaos, and a surprise attack by elite cavalry could make them collapse.

Zhu Neng was a very brave man. After a moment's thought, he immediately ordered his troops to prepare for battle.

At this moment, a group of Northern Yuan soldiers were seen riding towards them.

"Ready to fight!"

As soon as Zhu Neng finished speaking, he saw that the other side did not take out knives and bows and arrows, but instead waved a white flag.

He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and held down the order to fire, waiting for the enemy to come in front of him.

The leader quickly got off his horse, and the others followed suit.

The Ming soldiers who had aimed their guns and were ready to shoot at any time were all stunned.

These people came forward, put their hands on their chests, and saluted Zhu Neng.

The person standing in the front said:

"My dear friend who has come from afar, the most distinguished guest on the grassland, I am the Great Khan of the grassland, Borjigin Enke."

"The Eternal Heaven is above, and all the tribes on the grassland wish to establish an everlasting friendship with the Ming Dynasty."

"From now on, there will only be singing, dancing and flowers between us and the Ming Dynasty, and no more war."

……

……

……

Not long ago.

Ugezihashaha led the remaining defeated troops and fled back to the royal court in a panic.

"The new Ming army is too powerful. Our army is no match for them. The only solution now is to move the royal court to the north to avoid the Ming army's attack."

As soon as Ugezihashaha returned to the royal court, he immediately ordered that the royal court be moved deep into the northern desert.

The new Ming army has come on a long expedition and it is impossible for them to stay on the grassland forever. They must return to the Ming Dynasty.

If you can't win, run away.

This is also the traditional response strategy of the grassland tribes.

However, this time, after Ugezihashiha's order was issued, it was immediately questioned and opposed.

"The new Ming army is no match for us. Why don't we surrender?" a general suggested in a low voice.

"Asshole!" Ugeqihashiha was furious. "We are all the people of Changshengtian. We can only accept the rule of the Golden Family. How can we submit to the lowly Han people? If anyone dares to talk about surrender again, I will shoot him to death with arrows."

"I think what he said makes sense." As soon as Ukeqihashaha finished speaking, the Northern Yuan Khan Borjigin Enke spoke out in opposition.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty is a god descended from heaven, and the new Ming army is not something my grassland tribes can contend with. If we continue to be enemies with the Ming Dynasty, our grassland tribes will no longer be able to survive."

"At the moment, they have only sent 3,000 troops to defeat the 60,000 elite troops mobilized by the Grand Tutor." Borjigin Enke said: "I heard that the Ming Dynasty will train all its troops to be the same as the new army."

"If that day comes and the Ming Dynasty has 100,000 or 300,000 new troops, what should we do?"

"Three thousand men can defeat the elite troops we have gathered. With the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, they can send ten such teams to roam the grasslands. Can our tribes still survive?"

"The only solution now is to cease fire with Ming Dynasty."

"I have heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has always hoped to resolve past grievances with my grassland tribe and establish a lasting friendship."

"He had previously ordered his son, the Prince of Qin, Zhu Chong, to marry Kuyuk Timur's sister. This is clear evidence."

"I am also willing to give my sister to the grandson of the Ming Dynasty as his wife. From now on, the grassland tribes and the Han people in the Central Plains will no longer fight against each other."

"This is the only way to resolve the current crisis, and it is also for the future livelihood of the tribes on our grassland."

Ugeqihashiha's face changed drastically, and he pointed at Borjigin Enke and said, "You little brat, what do you know? How could a man from the grassland surrender to the untouchables of the Central Plains? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will abolish your Khanship." "How dare you, Ugeqihashiha, be so rude to the Khan?"

As soon as Ugezihashaha said this, someone pointed at him and cursed at him.

"The Khan is also thinking about our grassland tribes. Since we can't defeat the Ming Dynasty, why not stop the war with them?"

"Ugeqihashiha, don't ignore the entire grassland tribe just to gain power!"

"Ugeqihashaha, you are so presumptuous, you are the one who should be deposed."

"Please ask the Khan to capture Ugeqihashiha and shoot him to death with arrows."

……

Ugezihashaha looked at the people around him in some astonishment.

Only then did he suddenly remember that before leading his army to war, he had transferred away all the tribal leaders who supported him.

After the defeat, those people did not return to the royal court with him and their troops, but fled for their lives and gathered the scattered soldiers of their own tribes.

Most of those who remained in the royal court at this time were supporters of Borjigin Enke.

If he runs back now, it would be like a sheep among wolves.

But, Borjigin Enke, how dare he?

How could he be so courageous?
Before this, Ugezihashaha had never thought that such a situation would occur.

Even if he did not have many direct descendants in the royal court, Borjigin Enke was just a young child with barely grown hair. How could he dare to attack the Grand Tutor who held great power?
But now it seems that I was wrong.

If you are wrong, you have to pay the price.

really.

Borjigin Enke sneered and said, "Ugeqihashiha, I have long known your evil intentions. You have bad intentions towards me and are eyeing the Khan's throne. Now, are you finally going to be exposed?"

"You're still dreaming of destroying this Khan?"

"Someone, come and capture Ugeqihashaha for this Khan."

The swordsmen who had been lying in ambush immediately rushed forward, pinned Ugeqihashaha down, and tied him up tightly with ropes.

At this point, how could Ugeqihasha not understand?
I was afraid that as soon as I left the royal camp, Borjigin Enke would be preparing to take action.

Now they are just looking for an excuse to take advantage of the defeat.

What a pity that I underestimated the enemy!

"Enke, you dare to kill me? Don't forget, my tribe still has more than 100,000 people and tens of thousands of elite soldiers."

"If you kill me today, my son will definitely raise an army to avenge his father tomorrow. Just wait for hell."

Enke looked at him, put down the crooked horse in his hand, and said: "The Ming army is coming, you are stubborn and unwilling to make peace with the Ming, you are seeking your own death."

"After you die, the Ming army will naturally destroy your tribe and kill everyone, uprooting it. Don't even think about your sons avenging you, because they will all die at the hands of the Ming army."

Compared with the Han people in the distant Central Plains, Enke hated Ugeqihashihe who seized power even more.

Wugeqihashaha's expression changed drastically, and he spat out a mouthful of blood with a "pu" sound. He glared at Enke with wide eyes and cursed loudly: "You... Enke... you betrayed the grassland, you knelt down and became a slave to the Han people, you are unworthy of being a descendant of the Golden Family, the Eternal Heaven, you will not die a good death."

Enke did not quarrel with him, but gave an order, ordering his soldiers to stuff Ugezihashaha's mouth with cow and sheep dung so that he could no longer make any sound.

"Come here, set up the pot and cook the Ugeqihashaha soup."

The soldiers immediately set up a big pot, lit the firewood, stripped Ugezihasha of all his clothes, and pressed him into the pot.

The flames burst into flames.

It seems that it won’t be long before this man who was so powerful on the grassland and once actually held the power in the royal court will be cooked like a pot of meat.

Witnessing this scene, Enke smiled happily and said, "In the past, Ugeqihashiha was very powerful and everyone had to succumb to his tyranny. That is all in the past. This Khan will forgive the past."

"The Khan is wise!" All the generals cheered.

At the same time, they also cursed Ugeqihashaha's despicableness and shamelessness.

He even shouted that when Ugeqihashaha was cooked, he would eat his flesh with his own mouth to avenge the humiliation he had suffered in the past.

The atmosphere in the royal court was joyous.

at this time.

Someone outside came to report.

"There is a Ming army not far away, approaching the royal court."

Everyone was shocked. They didn't expect the Ming army to arrive so quickly.

Although they had decided to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, no agreement had been reached after all.

"Doesn't it mean that the main force of the Ming army consists of horse-drawn carriages and convoys and that they don't move quickly?" someone asked in surprise.

"They are not the Ming army that fought against our army before, but another one." The person who came to report replied.

After marching on the grassland for such a long time, the whereabouts of the army led by Zhu Neng must have been known to the Northern Yuan Dynasty long ago, which is not difficult to judge.

Everyone suddenly realized.

For this expedition, the Ming Dynasty sent two armies, one led by Zhang Fu and the other led by Zhu Neng.

It was the Ming army led by Zhang Fu that defeated Ugezihasha's 60,000-strong army.

The ones coming to the royal court now were led by Zhu Neng.

"You've come just in time." Enke was not surprised but happy.

He had just killed Ugezihashaha, but the other party's tribe was still there, and his son was still the threat to him.

When the Ming army arrived, they took advantage of the Ming army to completely eradicate Ugezihashaha's tribe and kill all his sons, thus eliminating future troubles.

At that moment, Enke said, "All the generals, follow me out of the camp and welcome the Ming army."
