Back to Daming to be a genius

Chapter 180

(PS: There are two updates today, the first one will be delivered, please ask for a monthly pass.)
On the afternoon of July [-]th, under the watchful eyes of the Ming army and the Tatar coalition forces, Taiji Sangba of the Erut tribe in Alxa, with a white flag in his hand, walked slowly to the Kuancheng city surrounded by the Ming army, and greeted the remnants of the Tatar coalition forces who were still in shock. Make a request for negotiation.Originally, Young Master Zhang didn’t intend to let the first Mongol Taiji who took refuge in him take such a risk, and planned to send an ordinary Mongolian envoy into the city. Samba’s two sons also offered to serve on their father’s behalf, but Sangba Taiji did not. He refused, and insisted on personally coming to negotiate with the remnants of the Tatar coalition army in order to repay Young Master Zhang for his life-saving grace when the Alashan tribe was desperate.But to be honest, if Young Master Zhang didn't extend a helping hand at that time, the Samba tribe would indeed become a historical term.

It was quite unexpected that Oba, the so-called ally of the Tatar coalition army, Horqin Tushetuhan and the cheap father-in-law of Young Master Zhang, was not in Kuancheng City—but it was not surprising, there were Huang Xiaoqiang and Fan Xiaoqiang nearby to make suggestions, and Oba Of course, he would not escape into Kuancheng and be surrounded by Young Master Zhang.So after Samba Taiji proposed to negotiate, there were six relatively powerful Tatar Taiji who thought they were qualified to lead the remnants of the Tatar coalition army at this moment. There are Ukeshan, Manzhu Xili and Guo Erluo on the map, as well as the Selen and Bushi maps of the Karaqin Grassland, and the Taiji Gunpo of the Inner Khalkha Grassland.Among them, Ukeshan Duck, the most powerful duck, yelled at Sangba Taiji in a high-spirited manner: "Samba, you traitor among the descendants of the wolf and the white deer, you are greedy for life and afraid of death, and you have taken refuge with the barbarians. Do you still have the face to see us?"

"Wukesan, your mouth is still as stinky as before." Backed by Young Master Zhang, Samba, who didn't even dare to breathe at the Taiwan-Jinji meeting before, no longer humbled himself and yelled at Wu Keshan: " But eating undercooked meat is harmful to the belly; talking useless words is harmful to yourself. Now that the Ming army has surrounded you, if you Ukeshan are smart, you'd better shut your stinking mouth and listen to me. After finishing speaking, otherwise, once the Ming army launches an attack, you can imagine what the consequences will be."

"What did you say?" Wu Keshan, who was used to being arrogant, changed color.Sereng grabbed Wu Keshan and shouted at Samba: "Samba Taiji, what do you have to say? Let's listen."

"Selentaiji, there is a proverb in Mongolia - to a lamb is a tiger, to a tiger is a lamb." Sangba said calmly with his head held high: "Now you have been surrounded by the Ming army like a tiger. There is not enough water to drink. If you resist, you will die. If you run away, you will die. It is better to open the city gate early, put down your weapons and surrender to the Ming army. His Majesty the Emperor of Ming has entrusted the right to deal with you to Master Zhang, governor of Jimen. Master Zhang is merciful Caring, noble and benevolent, after you surrender, you will definitely receive his warm hospitality, and the people of your tribe will not be hurt because of your involvement. Under the protection of the Ming army, enjoy a happy and fulfilling life.”

"Fart, you want us to surrender to the barbarian and beg for mercy like you, dreaming!" Wu Keshan yelled again.The five Mongolian Taiji next to them exchanged glances with each other, and after discussing in a low voice, Selen said to Samba: "Samba Taiji, Zhang Haogu wants us to surrender, yes, but we have a few conditions , please tell Master Zhang Haogu."

"Please tell me, I will definitely tell Master Zhang Haogu the truth." Samba replied sincerely.Bu Shitu hurriedly said: "We can surrender, but we can't lay down our weapons, and we don't go to see Mr. Zhang Haogu alone. Also, Mr. Zhang Haogu must provide us with enough food and grass, so that we can return home! Of course, We also promise that from now on, we will never invade the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty again."

"Also, the Ming court must open the border market to us and allow us to enter the court to pay tribute, and the members of the tribute team are determined by ourselves!" Gonpo also rushed to add - paying tribute to the Ming court is a great thing to take advantage of, If you just pay tribute to a few war horses and camels, the Ming court will reward dozens of times the gift, and everyone in the envoy team can also get a separate reward gift, so almost every Mongolian tribe dreams of being canonized by the Ming Dynasty and paying tribute to the Ming Dynasty. qualifications.Of course, the people of Daming who pay taxes don't like it.

"Okay, I'll go back and ask Master Zhang Haogu." Samba Taiji agreed, and went back to the formation to ask Master Zhang for instructions.After a while, Samba rushed back to the city with a white flag, and shouted to Selen and others: "Everyone, Taiji, listen carefully, Master Zhang Haogu refuses that you do not put down your weapons and do not kowtow to Master Zhang Haogu alone. If you want to survive, show your sincerity, lay down your weapons and surrender in surrender. Every Taiji will kowtow in front of Mr. Zhang, and your army will also accept the reorganization and command of the Ming army! As for the canonization and tribute and border market Regarding the problem, the border market can be opened, but the Ming court only granted two Taiji canonization qualifications to pay tribute, and it is allowed to pay tribute to the Ming court twice a year, and each time the team cannot exceed 50 people!"

"If we don't keep our weapons, we won't surrender!" Several Tatar Taijis shouted - just kidding, Master Zhang has a nickname but Xiao Baiqi, what does Bai Qi like to do, these uneducated Tatars Taiji knows it all.It was Wu Keshan, who was still smelly and hard just now, the first to change his face, and asked Samba with a smile on his face: "Samba Taiji, Mr. Zhang promised to give two Taiji the qualifications for canonization and tribute. Taiji?"

"Master Zhang didn't designate a candidate." Samba said calmly: "Master Zhang just said that he plans to confer a Taiji in the Horqin Grassland and the Harqin Grassland. Who will support Zhang Haogu the most among the Taiji in these two grasslands?" Sir, whoever destroys the Dalai tribe and the Auba tribe is eligible to accept the canonization and tribute from the Ming court, and the grasslands of the Dalai tribe and the Auba tribe will also be rewarded to these two tribes!"

"What? Master Zhang intends to exterminate the tribes of Auba and Dalai?" Several Mongolian Taiji screamed.Samba nodded and replied: "Yes, after you surrender to Lord Zhang Haogu, your army will be reorganized by the Ming army and become a vassal army of the Ming court. It will cooperate with the Ming army to attack the north, and crusade against the Austrian army who provoked this war. Bahe Dalai tribe! At that time, not only the grasslands of Oba and Dalai will be rewarded to the Mongolian tribes who supported the Ming army, but any Mongolian tribe who dared to resist the Ming army’s northern expedition will also be slaughtered by the Ming army. And their grasslands and women will also be rewarded to the Mongolian tribes who supported the Ming army!"

The six Tatar Taijis stopped talking, their eyes were only thinking about the truth of what Young Master Zhang said.Samba shouted again: "Everyone, Taiji, think about it, what a great opportunity this is? Dalai and Oba occupy the most fertile grassland and rivers on the Mongolian grassland, and have the most extensive land and the most Beautiful Mongolian women, why should they have these? Don’t you want to snatch all these good things from Oba and Dalai with the help of the Ming army? And after you have these good things, you can still Trade cattle and horses with the wealthy and prosperous Ming court, buy grain, cloth, tea and salt, and even obtain official titles from the Ming court, pay tribute to the Ming court for cattle and sheep, and get rewards. This is what we Mongolians have been dreaming of for hundreds of years What a good idea! You missed such a good opportunity, and other Mongolian Taiji will not miss it. At that time, your tribe will be slaughtered, your wife and daughter will be reduced to slaves of other tribes, and your grassland will also be destroyed. Will be taken away by other Taiji, are you willing to do such a foolish thing?"

"Master Zhang, does he keep his word?" Wu Keshan asked while swallowing.Sangba replied with a smile: "Whether it counts or not, our Alashan'e tribe is your role model. Our Alashan'e tribe used to often offend the Ming army, but after we surrendered to Master Zhang, what did Master Zhang do to us? You all know it, and you have seen it with your own eyes! If it weren’t for the fact that our Alashan’e tribe is too weak and the population is too small, the Harqin Grassland would still have your share?”

"But, can Lord Zhang's power wipe out Dalai Taiji and Tuxietuhan Oba?" Selen asked suspiciously.Sangba laughed and said: "Selentaiji, what you said is so stupid. Your 12 elite troops came to attack Xifengkou, but they were defeated by Master Zhang Haogu's 12 troops! Dalai and Oba No matter how powerful you are, can you still assemble an army of [-]? Besides, your army is not idle, right? Do you want to watch Mr. Zhang kill all the troops of Oba and Dalai? Come out to pick a bargain? Master Zhang would be so stupid?"

"Zhang Haogu wanted to use our army to fight Oba and Dalai, but he was taking advantage of others behind the scenes. He had a good idea." Gonpo snorted coldly.Sangba said with a smile: "Gunbu Taiji, you are too confused. What did Master Zhang choose to take advantage of? After he wiped out Dalai and Oba, the grasslands and women of the Dalai and Oba tribes were all Yours, the wealth of these two tribes is also yours. At most he wants a little silver to reward the army, some cattle, sheep and horses as military rations, and the heads of these two tribes to lead the army. Who is the one who takes advantage? Are you Unexpected? Besides, without the help of Master Zhang Haogu’s army, can you defeat the tribes of Oba and Dalai with just your army?”

"And you!" Samba pointed to the Tatar soldiers who were listening on the city wall and shouted: "If you surrender to the Ming army, not only will you not have to worry about being chased and killed by the ferocious Ming army, but you will also have food and clothing. Well, when Master Zhang Haogu's army goes northward to Auba and Dalai, you can still snatch money, horses, and women, and you can even get military rewards from the Ming army. Those who perform well can even be named officers by the Ming army— —How many Mongolian warriors and officers are there in the Ming army, what do they eat and what do they wear, you should have heard of it, right?"

Not to mention, all the Tatar soldiers present had heard about the treatment of the Ming army, and they also knew that the Mongolian soldiers headed by Man Gui were extremely valuable in the Ming army, and there was no shortage of money and women. Bewitched, many Tatar soldiers were inevitably tempted, and began to look forward to the surrender of Taiji Kaicheng of their own tribe.Sereng, Wu Keshan and other Taijis over there were also very moved, but they were afraid that Young Master Zhang would not keep his word, and even more afraid that Young Master Zhang would bury them all alive, so they dared not agree.On the other side, Samba observed the situation, and pretended to be angry and said: "Selengtaiji, I am almost dry, so you can't listen to a good word? Well, since you refuse to surrender, then I will go back and ask Zhang Sir, attack immediately, when the time comes, all your soldiers will die, your grassland will be taken away by other tribes, and your wives and daughters will become slaves of other tribes, don't blame me!"

After finishing speaking, Samba twisted his horse and left, Wu Keshan hurriedly shouted: "Samba Taiji, please wait a moment, I surrender, I accept all the conditions of Mr. Zhang." Selen and others over there also thought secretly ——If we don’t surrender, we will be severely injured by Zhang Haogu Manzi’s army. Even if Zhang Haogu Manzi doesn’t do anything at that time, other tribes will definitely not miss this opportunity to attack us. Our grasslands and women, I'm afraid they will really be robbed!It would be better to follow Zhang Haogu to fight Dalai and Auba, and act first to rob them of their women and grasslands.Thinking of this, Selen and other Taiji hurriedly shouted: "Samba Taiji, we surrender, we surrender to Master Zhang!"

"Very good." Samba smiled, turned back and said with a smile: "Everyone, congratulations for making the right choice—follow Mr. Zhang and grab money! Grab food! Grassland!"

"Follow Zhang Futai, grab the money! Grab the food! Grab the grassland!" This sentence has also become the most morale-boosting slogan for the Tatar troops.

In [-] A.D., July [-]th, the seventh year of Mingqi, under the strong persuasion of Taiji Sangba, an Erut tribe in Alxa, more than [-] remnants of the Tatar coalition army who were surrounded in Kuancheng laid down their weapons. They opened the city gates and surrendered to the Ming army. Those who surrendered to the Ming army also included Taiji from thirteen Tatar tribes.After kindly accepting these desperate Tatar Taijis and taking them as hostages, Young Master Zhang ordered the Tatar soldiers to be broken up and reorganized together with the more than ten thousand Tatar soldiers captured earlier, following the example of Genghis Khan and reorganizing them into four Ten thousand people, and decided to use this as the main force to launch a retaliatory crusade against the Harqin Grassland and the Horqin Grassland!In order to boost the morale of the surrendered soldiers, Young Master Zhang personally promised to the Tatar surrendered soldiers that he would behead one on the battlefield and reward him with a tael of silver!After the extermination of the pro-Jian slave tribes in the Harqin Grassland and the Horqin Grassland, all the property looted except cattle, sheep and horses belonged to the soldiers themselves!Those who perform well on the battlefield can be formally incorporated into the Ming army and get official rewards!
Three days later, when Young Master Zhang sent the memorial of his decision to launch a retaliatory Northern Expedition to the capital, all the civil and military officials of the Ming court, who were still immersed in the joy of the great victory, almost fainted from fright. Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian even hurriedly ordered Young Master Zhang to stop This crazy move also said that it is enough to fight the Battle of Xifengkou here, and the results obtained are already fruitful enough, and there is no need to take risks with the slave-killing army built with a lot of money-in other words, the Tatar coalition forces came to smash it Your young master Zhang didn't smash the window glass, so it's fine to beat them up and teach them a lesson, there's no need to rush into other people's houses and smash all their furniture and houses!But when Yuan Keli, the servant of the Ministry of War sent by the imperial court, arrived at Xifengkou day and night with the gold medals and arrows, Master Zhang's army had already set off from Xifengkou on the first day, that is, on July [-]th, bringing [-] soldiers and a large number of soldiers. The captured cattle and sheep, grain, grass and water trucks, as well as [-] regular Ming soldiers and his young wife, Da Yuer, launched the famous Northern Expedition of the Apocalypse—also known as the Northern Expedition of Gou Shao!
Soon, the pro-Jian slave tribes in the Harqin Grassland and the Horqin Grassland fell into extreme panic, because they heard such a frightening news from various channels-there was a man named Zhang Gou The little madman led a terrifying army into the Harqin Grassland and the Horqin Grassland. When he saw a Tatar tribe related to Jiannu, he fought. Hearing that the Tatar tribe had contacts with Jiannu, he exterminated the tribe. , and the attack is not invincible, invincible!The Tatar cavalry who served as the vanguard for this little lunatic still shouted such slogans, "Follow Master Zhang, grab the money! Grab the grain! Grab the grassland!"
