Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 255 I want to conquer your hearts

In fact, at this moment, for Zhu Chu, the people in these tribes have become a hot potato.

Because as Niu Sheng said before, Zhu Zhen cannot just kill people casually.

Even people on the grasslands would not massacre women, the elderly and children.

Is he worse than a group of uncivilized steppe Tatars?

But these people were hostile to me, and their eyes were full of hostility.

Thinking about it, they all have men, and they don't feel that they have been defeated or conquered by others. They only leave hidden dangers.

And if they are not taken care of properly, the cattle, sheep and horses in the tribe will not be easily taken away.

But if they can't be shown how powerful they are, these tough women will look down on themselves.

If you spare them, they will not be grateful for your kindness and will only think that you are a weakling and a coward.

So Zhu Ming showed a malicious expression, especially his previous words, which made the people in the tribe shudder.

Do you really want to serve the horse?

This service is by no means literal.

Even if Zhu Ming talked about it, it was just to pass the trial. No matter what the actual situation was, they were not stupid.

"Despicable Ming people, you can kill or behead everyone as you see fit, but if you think that we are afraid or want to insult us, but they are just blind, don't think that we will give in," the woman from before shouted crazily. With.

She is a middle-aged woman who looks a bit strong.

Zhu Chu's face suddenly darkened. As the saying goes, if you don't seek death, you won't die, but this woman is too desperate, right?

Do you really think you dare not kill someone?
At this time, Tu Mu and Xu Miaojin walked out of the yurt on the side.

Looking at Tu Mu's appearance, he finally calmed down and washed his face, wiping away all the traces on his face.

A closer look revealed that Tu Mu was also very young and beautiful. Although not as beautiful as Xu Miaojin, she was still pretty.

It's a pity that Tumu was persecuted just because of her beauty.

In this era, especially on the grasslands, it is a bad thing for a woman to be too beautiful.

Even Alutai's sister Min Minte is remembered, not to mention the women from the tribe below.

Xu Miaojin came to Zhu Chu's side.

Zhu Chu raised his eyebrows at her.

Xu Miaojin chuckled in response.

The young couple now have a good understanding.

Zhu Ming was glad that Xu Miaojin was here, otherwise it would be difficult to appease Tu Mu so quickly. If Tu Mu didn't lead the way, how would he go to find other tribes in Na Tula?

Tu Mu glanced at the woman and suddenly said: "It turns out to be you. Your Highness, she is Natula's eldest wife and the mistress of this tribe. It's just that Natula disliked her for being too old, so she drove her away from the headquarters. Come out, marry several wives and enter the yurt."

Even in the grasslands, women still have a certain status. Although after the tribe is conquered and defeated, the women will be plundered and even persecuted by the invaders.

But usually, as the wife of a tribal leader, she is also a slave owner.

No wonder the woman's resistance was so fierce. It turned out that she was the mistress here, and naturally she didn't want Zhu Zhen to take away everything here.

"So that's the case, but doesn't she know that Natula has been killed by me?" Zhu Zhen said deliberately raising his voice.

The people who were controlled were panicked, and they suddenly began to communicate noisily and chattering.

They speak Mongolian.

Of course the grassland people know Mongolian, this is their own language and culture.

However, with the strong and rapid rise of the Mongol Empire, and the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty in the Central Plains by the Northern Yuan Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, several major khanates fell apart and broke up with each other in the later period.

As a result, the Yuan Dynasty, which occupied the Central Plains, began to divide itself from other khanates, and even tended to self-sinicize. Even if the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty wanted to stop it, they could not stop it.

For a long time, the upper-class nobles of the Yuan Dynasty admired Han culture and took pride in speaking Chinese.

So even if Bei Yuan was driven back to the grasslands by the Ming Dynasty, many people would still speak Chinese.

But they have not forgotten their mother tongue, and now they are all gibbering in a hurry, not knowing what to say.

Zhu Zhen's head was buzzing with their quarrel, and he shouted: "You really don't know? That Natula was shot to death by me as soon as he saw me face to face, and he was still hanging on the gun like a flagpole. . Why did your men break up and flee? More than 2 people were chased away by more than 1 Ming troops. Do they dare to fight us head-on?"

"You still dare to be complacent? You are just trash. Who dares to offend my Ming Dynasty? Return to Guilichi? If he doesn't come to me, I will bring people to kill him. Talk about a mere ghostlychi , even if Genghis Khan is alive, I would still dare to touch him."

"As for you, I originally thought that those men were the ones who did the evil. Why should you atone for their sins? Why should you pay for what they did? I don't care about the rules of the grassland, and I didn't intend to let you To be a slave and a maid.”

"But you yourselves don't know what's good. Come on, drag this evil woman out first and chop it up, as well as Natula's child. Since Natula dares to harm my tribe, I will eradicate it and completely exterminate it." Natula’s lineage.”

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, who had been watching eagerly from the side, immediately stepped forward and dragged the previous woman out, along with the two children beside her.

The older child is only about ten years old, and the younger one is only four or five years old. The older one is a girl, and the gender of the younger one cannot be determined yet. Is it possible that she is also a daughter?

Maybe it was because the eldest wife gave birth to two daughters in succession but no boy that she was disliked by Natula, right?

The grassland is also valued according to its son. If there are no sons, it is like having no roots.

The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty regarded Zhu Xi's order as an imperial edict, and without any hesitation, they dragged the mother and daughter to the other side.

Once outside the tribe's camp, it's time to kill everyone.

Xu Miaojin frowned and glanced at Zhu Chu.

Zhu Ming noticed her little behavior and asked softly: "What? Do you think you can't bear it? Or do you think I'm too cruel?"

Xu Miaojin shook his head and said: "Capture the thieves first and capture the king first. If we don't kill them, how can we quickly control this tribe? And we don't know when the more than 2 scattered deserters will come back, and when the enemy's reinforcements will come. Things." I still understand the rush to obey power."

What's more, there are other tribes in Natula, not just this one.

They don't have time to waste and delay here. They can't really wait until Guilichi sends an army to encircle and suppress it, right?

"However, there may be a better way. Since she is Natula's eldest wife, she naturally has status. If she is willing to surrender to you, she might not become the second Arutai. Your Highness, your Ambition is not as simple as wiping out one or two tribes. Don't you want to be the king of the grassland?" Xu Miaojin changed her voice and reminded Zhu Zhen that it was easy to kill the woman in Natula, but how to make the tribe in Natula sincere? Surrender, this is the key.

Zhu Miao's heart moved. Although Xu Miaojin did not explicitly deny his order, his disapproval was revealed both in and out of his words.

And to be honest, she was right.

Why did Zhu Chu choose to conquer Arutai instead of killing them all?
It's because Zhu Chu wants to completely conquer the grassland, not kill them all and rob them all.

He is not a bandit. His ambition is to gain a foothold on the grassland, establish a foundation of his own, and one day lead an army to pacify the grassland in one fell swoop.

Since the people from the grasslands can conquer the Central Plains, why can’t the Central Plains conquer the grasslands?

But to bring the grassland people back home, what is needed is the will of the people, not killing with a butcher's knife.

The grassland is so big that there is no way to kill them all.

The butcher's knife can only make people temporarily frightened, but it cannot win people's hearts.

Didn’t he already know this in Yunnan?

"Sister, why do you have to beat around the bush with me?" Zhu Zhen rolled his eyes at Xu Miaojin and said with a smile: "Just say whatever you have to say. Could it be that I am Zhu Yuanzhang? Can't I listen to other people's advice? Even if I am Zhu Yuanzhang, Then you are our Queen Ma. No, it’s Queen Xu."

Even Xu Miaojin was startled. He turned around and looked around. Fortunately, the nearest Ming army was a little far away, so he probably didn't hear it.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Really, you are not afraid of your father, but I am afraid that my Xu family will be implicated by you," Xu Miaojin was really anxious.

Do you dare to say this?
And you are calling Emperor Hongwu by his first name. Even if you are the son of Emperor Hongwu, if this spreads out, you will have to live with it.

What else is there to say about Queen Xu, even comparing herself to Queen Ma?
This guy is crazy.But Xu Miaojin was afraid of returning, but her heart was as sweet as eating honey.

This bad guy always made her happy with his glib words. It was so abominable.

Seeing that Natula's eldest wife was about to be dragged out and executed, the people in the tribe lowered their heads. No one dared to resist, and could only silently welcome the winner's treatment of the losers.

Natula's eldest wife wanted to struggle at first, but finally gave in. She just looked at her two daughters and couldn't help but shed tears.

"Don't be afraid, children, grandma is here. This is the fate of us prairie people. It's because the God of Immortality doesn't care for us, and it's your father who deserves to die. We, the women, have to pay for the sins he has done," the woman At the end, I couldn't help but shed tears.

"If the Immortal God doesn't care for you, what if I come to care for you?" Zhu Ming suddenly said loudly.

The woman was stunned, and the Ming soldiers around her also spontaneously stopped and looked back at Zhu Zhen.

Knew he had something to say.

Zhu Ming looked at the woman, then at the people in the tribe, sighed, and said: "Okay, just scare them, but really kill them? Bring them back."

Those soldiers from the Ming Dynasty said in their hearts, Your Highness, you are the one who said all the good and bad things, and you gave the order to kill people. It has nothing to do with us. Are you kidding us?

But they still behaved and brought the person back.

After the three mothers escaped, they finally became much more honest.

Zhu Ming sneered and said: "I am not a kind and weak person. I really know how to kill people, and I have already killed tens of thousands of you prairie people. Do you care about killing a few more?"

This is true, but tens of thousands is an exaggeration. In fact, including the 2 people in Arutai before, and Natula's subordinates this time, the number is less than 3.

Of course, this does not include the people from the Yahada tribe killed by Wang Fu.

"But God has the virtue of good life. Even if your Immortal Heaven does not favor you, let me, on behalf of your Immortal Heaven, forgive you," Zhu Chu said in a surprising way.

He actually wants to replace Changshengtian?
Even the great Genghis Khan was only a person chosen by the Immortal God. He was equivalent to the emperor of the Central Plains Dynasty. The power of kings was granted by God.

But Zhu Chu actually wants to replace Changshengtian?Is it okay?
Everyone else is the emperor, the son of God, but you want to be the father of God?
Are you really not afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang will find out and whip you?
There is a gap between inside and outside, does Zhu Yuanzhang become his grandson?Is it okay?
"Woman, what's your name?" Zhu Zhen looked at Natula's eldest wife.

The woman turned her head away. Although she didn't dare to act recklessly anymore, she didn't want to pay attention to him.

Zhu Chu smiled, are all prairie women so tough?First there was Tumu, and now she is the same.

Zhu Chu didn't know that Min Min Te was also famous.

"Forget it if you don't say it. I just want to say that Natula gave up on you, and even the men in the tribe gave up on you. They only took away what they could take away, which was what they considered the most precious. But you What? Just like the cattle and sheep in the tribe, they were abandoned casually."

"More than 2 grassland men are being chased and killed by more than 1 Ming troops. They are like cattle and sheep, and they don't even dare to turn around to resist."

"I thought they would come back and form an army to resist me. In that case, I would think they were men. Unfortunately, they are not. They are just lost dogs, and they don't even care about their families."

"Do you still want to follow such a man and Natula? They have abandoned you, but you still want to die for them? Isn't it stupid?"

"I am the winner and your conqueror. Originally, I could control your destiny at will. But I am unwilling to do that. You said that the Eternal Heaven has abandoned you. Then I will take care of you. From now on From now on, you are no longer the Natula tribe, but my king’s subjects.”

"Your cattle and sheep do not originally belong to you. You are just slaves who herd cattle and sheep for Natula. But today, the king will give those cattle and sheep to you, so that you can truly have your own cattle and sheep."

"From now on, you are all my king's subjects. From now on, you will no longer be inferior to anyone else. I will give you freedom."

"Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your children, right? Look at your children. Do you want your children to be other people's slaves from now on?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Zhu Zhen in shock.

Even Xu Miaojin opened her mouth and looked at him with her beautiful eyes.

Xu Miaojin was not there when Zhu Chu 'liberated' the Alutai tribe, and she was not familiar with Zhu Chu's reform of native land and returning to local people in Yunnan. This was the first time she had seen Zhu Chu's language art and methods of winning people's hearts.

It has to be said that Zhu Ming's words were like a thunder, which deeply shocked these prairie people.

Even Natula's wife raised her head and looked at Zhu Ming in disbelief. After a moment, she shouted: "Prince of the Ming Dynasty, are there any benefits to you doing this?"

Yes, no benefit.

You worked hard to conquer other people's tribes, but you want to give them cattle and sheep?
What does this mean to him?

"The benefits are too great," Zhu Zhen finally relented, no longer cursing himself as a humble Ming Dynasty man or a woman with a Huza, and said loudly: "Because I want to completely conquer your hearts. I want to I will treat you better than Changshengtian, so good that even if your men come back in the future, even if Guilichi’s army comes, you will find that I am the best person to you. You will also be devoted to me. .”

"Now you still want to sacrifice your life for those who don't care about your life or death? It's ridiculous. As long as you become the subjects of this king and the Ming Dynasty, I will let you see what it means to truly live."

"Come on, count the number of people, count the number of cattle and sheep, and prepare to distribute cattle and sheep according to the population of each household. Remember, what is allocated to you at this time is the property you really own. Those cattle and sheep are yours. , you can kill and eat it yourself. I no longer have to let you watch while I eat it."

This is not the first time Zhu Chu has done this. Practice makes perfect.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the gameplay is still the same as before. First, transfer the conflict away, stimulate conflicts between those who were left in the tribe and those who escaped, and make them hate those people instead of themselves.

Then he adopts the attitude of a savior. This king is here to liberate you, not to continue to enslave you. He will even let you live a good life and distribute property to you.

Don't think that Zhu Zhen is snatching the property that should belong to these people and then giving it to them, acting like a hypocritical good old man.

it's not like that.

Again, they are just other people's slaves. They just herd cattle and sheep for the slave owner. They have worked hard for a year, but they dare not and cannot kill the cattle and sheep at will to eat a bite of meat.

Nothing in the tribe belonged to them, but to the slave owners.

Now that Zhu Chu has conquered them, all this is his private property.

In the end, Zhu Chu wanted to distribute it to them?
Even Natula's wife asked Zhu Zhen, what can you get?What benefits will you get from doing this?

And Zhu Ming also bluntly said that what he wanted to gain was their people's hearts.

"As long as you follow me sincerely, you will be able to eat well and drink spicy food. I will also deliver food and grass to the Arutai tribe to help them survive this winter. The same goes for you. As long as you follow me, you are hungry. This king is here to take care of it. If someone bullies you, I will protect you."

"This time, Natula was defeated by this king. And all I want is your loyalty. I will not enslave you, nor plunder your cattle and sheep, nor will I play with your wives."

"Do you really not know right from wrong? You don't even know who wants to treat you well? If so, you can no longer blame the Immortal God for not favoring you. It is you who have betrayed your Immortal Genius."

Zhu Ming continued to shout in a bewitching tone.

The people in the tribe began to be moved. They looked at each other, and then looked down at the children who were either being held in their arms or beside them.

What Zhu Ming said is very wonderful, that is, if they don't think about themselves, they should also think about their children.

Finally, someone knelt down and shouted: "Prince Daming, we are willing to surrender to you, we are willing to follow Daming and become your and Daming's subjects."

"We're done."

The entire tribe was conquered by Zhu Zhen's charisma. This was the surrender of people's hearts, rather than the intimidation of a butcher's knife into submission.

Even Peng Yue and Niu Sheng were shocked, as well as the entire army, even if it was not the first time they saw it, they were still impressed by Zhu Xi's methods.

Only Zhu Chu did not get carried away, but felt solemn.

Because as Natula's tribe was brought under his command, once Guilichi led an army to encircle and suppress them, the territory he needed to protect would become larger and larger.

But don't forget, he only has 5000 people, this is the only army.

Even the enemy's two tribes had to divide their forces, and it was even difficult to take care of them.

Once a full-scale war breaks out with the entire Tatar tribe, can he still face it calmly?

If he is defeated by Gui Lichi, he knows that when these people return to Gui Lichi's hands, he will lose the hearts of the people and will never be able to get them back.

To prevent this from happening, he must not lose.

"It seems we have to take the initiative."
