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

Chapter 274 I am the Holy Khan

Because of Wang Fu's cleverness, Zhu Zhen had to speed up the pace of conquering the Tatar grasslands.

So early the next morning, Zhu Ming coordinated the entire army with military orders.

There was no trace of panic in the [-]-strong army. They were lined up in formations according to the affiliation of each department. They were in an orderly manner and silently waiting for Zhu Cheng's order.

"Go straight to Guilichi's headquarters and set off." Zhu Min didn't do any more mobilization, and there was no need to do that. He just gave an order and led the army to march toward Guilichi's headquarters in a mighty manner.

They crossed the plain where a fierce battle took place yesterday and continued to move forward for a day. Finally, before evening, they could see the shadow of a large ger tribe in the distance.

Zhu Zhen had been chasing Guilichi for more than a day, and since there was no logistical supply force, he finally arrived at Guilichi's headquarters in just one day.

And this time, because Badalkin and Yadalali have both been to Guilichi's tent, with them leading the way, they will naturally not get lost and find it.

This is the important thing about conquering the grassland tribes. With the leading party helping as guides, are you worried about not being able to find the enemy's base camp?

But as Zhu Zhen led the army to attack, there was no movement among the tribes ahead?

While Zhu Ming led his troops to charge, he asked someone to pass on: "Be careful to prevent fraud."

The reason why I say this is because until Zhu Zhen and the others arrived in front of the tribal camp, there was no sign of Guilichi's troops coming out to fight.

It's like this huge tribe has become an empty camp at this time?

Zhu Zhen sneered secretly. He hunted birds all day long, so there was no way he would get his eyes pecked out, right?

Want to use the empty camp strategy? Do you also want to build a trap in the camp?

Zhu Miao looked disdainful and winked at Xu Miaojin.

Xu Miaojin immediately understood and sent a team of scouts to take the lead in investigating the situation in the tribe.

There was a resentful look from the other side, but it wasn't Min Minte, but Wang Fu?

"Your Highness, this was originally my job," Wang Fu felt that he was still being criticized.

Zhu Ming is so angry and funny, are you competing with my sister for favor? Not Wang Fu, what do you mean? Do you really want me to castrate you?

Soon, the scouts came out from inside the tribe to investigate.

"Your Highness, there are no problems in the camp," the scout captain made his judgment.

In other words, this is not an empty camp plan, is there no ambush inside?

"Then why didn't anyone come out to fight?" Zhu Zhen asked.

The scout had a strange expression and said: "Your Highness, I only saw some women, old people and children in the tribe, but not an adult man. Could it be that Ghost Lichi abandoned his tribe and escaped overnight? ?”

Zhu Zhen blinked, isn't it? Don’t want it anymore in your hometown?

"How many people are there in the tribe? Are the cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock still there?" Zhu Ming then asked.

The scout said with a helpless expression: "Your Highness, please wait a moment. I will go and inquire after my humble duty."

How did he know that His Highness would have so many questions, so he went in to investigate and saw that there was no ambush before coming out.

"No need, the army is stationed outside, I will go in personally to find out what's going on," Zhu Zhen said, and was about to go in personally to see what was going on.

Wang Fu and Xu Miaojin followed up one on the left and the other on the right, so how could he put himself in danger alone.

Not to mention the one hundred guards who have returned with Wang Fu. Some of them are carrying light machine guns that others do not recognize. Once they encounter an ambush, I am afraid that no one with thousands of troops can even think of getting close. He arrived in front of Zhu Xi.

Even if you want to trap Zhu Chu, you can't do it without a hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

"Your Highness, we are going with you," Minminte also followed, as well as Qiqige and other leaders of the grassland tribes.

"Okay," Zhu Zhen did not reject their kindness, but said with a smile: "That Guilichi doesn't even dare to ask for his hometown. He doesn't want it, but we want it. Let's go in and find out."

So Zhu Zhen asked the scouts to lead the way, followed by a small group of people, and just like that, he rode into Guilichi's headquarters in a swaggering manner.

As soon as he entered, Zhu Zhen found that the huge tribal camp seemed empty, as if more than half of the people had disappeared out of thin air.

In fact it is.

"Are you the Ming army?" Someone came out from the camp. She was a pretty middle-aged woman. Although she was already in her thirties, she was still graceful. Could she be considered a middle-aged lady?

If this were in modern times, this would actually be a young and beautiful woman, but in ancient times, a girl with hairpins of fifteen years old could already get married, and a girl in her thirties could indeed be called a mature lady.

"This is the Ming Dynasty Prince, His Highness Zhu Chu, the King of Dian. You, woman, don't want to see me yet?" Wang Fu hurriedly came out to show off.

Zhu Zhen just glanced at Wang Fu silently and let him go.

"Ha," the woman suddenly sneered, raised her head, looked at Zhu Xi with neither humility nor arrogance, and said, "Even if you are the prince of the Ming Dynasty, we are grassland people. According to your title, we are the people of the Beiyuan Royal Court. Why should I worship you?"

"What a strong woman," Zhu Zhen couldn't help but admired.

The woman continued to look at Zhu Zhen unconcernedly.

But the people around Zhu Chu looked at him with strange expressions.

Your Highness, you won't bring up the matter of marrying someone to a horse again, will you? You can be a human being.

Of course, Zhu Xi didn't think that way this time. He just felt that this woman was extraordinary, so he asked: "Tell me who you are, I think you are also a person of considerable status, right?"

"Of course, I am called Prince Daming. You know, our name is Wuyuntana, and we are Gui Lichi's eldest wife. She can be regarded as a noble lady with status. Gui Lichi was greedy and afraid of death, and was worried about your pursuit, so he brought The men in the tribe have escaped. I think as the prince of Ming Dynasty, you will not bully us orphans and widowed mothers, right?" Wuyuntana said sarcastically while announcing her identity, and at the same time she was suspected of trying to squeeze Zhu Gong.

Wuyun Tana, in Mongolian, Wuyun means wisdom, and Tana means pearl, which means that she is as precious as a pearl and a smart woman.

Zhu Chu smiled, was he trying to squeeze out his promise not to attack them by playing such a trick?

"Since Gui Lichi has abandoned you, why don't you abandon the dark side and surrender to the Ming Dynasty, and submit to me and the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Ming turned around and led an army.

Wuyuntana smiled, with disdain written all over her face, and said: "Only our Mongolian cavalry conquered your Central Plains. How has there ever been a record of being conquered by you? Do you want us to surrender? Even if you kill us, that will be the case. Even if we die, we will only return to the embrace of Changshengtian, and we will never succumb to your power."

"Oh?" Zhu Ming shrugged noncommittally and said, "But Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, once defeated the Turks and became the recognized Khan of all ethnic groups on your grassland. Not to mention that this grassland was once ruled by various ethnic groups. , For example, the Khitans established the Liao Dynasty, let alone the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom who once ruled you. When will it be your turn to show off your power in my face? "

Wuyuntana's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

Zhu Ming still felt that it was not enough, and then mocked: "This grassland was once founded by the Huns, and later ruled by the Xianbei people, and then the Rouran people, and then came to the Turks, and then to the Uighurs, and then it was established by the Khitans Daliao. Until nearly two hundred years ago, you were still living as slaves under the hands of the Jurchens. Who gave you face?"

"I know the culture and rules of your grassland people. Now I can let the army crush your tribe and kill all your chickens and dogs. Let me tell you, madam, you don't want to see your tribe wiped out, right? "

Zhu Zhen had a proud smile on his face, but he was secretly complaining about himself, why did he say the lines as if they were only from a foreign language?

This made him cough dryly and raise his head to look at the tribe.

Following the conversation between Zhu Chu and Wuyuntana, many people in the tribe walked out of their homes and looked at these sudden intruders in horror.

It seemed that they already knew that Guilichi had been defeated, and as Guilichi fled with the men, only the helpless women, old people and children were left behind.

How could they resist this enemy who even Guilichi fled upon hearing the news.

Zhu Ming raised his voice and shouted: "Since Li Shimin can conquer you and become the Khan of Heaven, then I can also conquer you. Today, I call myself the Holy Khan, and my goal is to unify the tribes of the grassland again. You are convinced. ?”

Holy Khan?

In fact, there was a sage Khan before, even earlier than Li Shimin's Tian Khan. However, this sage Khan was the title given to Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty when the Eastern Turkic Empire professed its vassalage to the Sui Dynasty.

It’s just that the full name of the Sage Khan of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty was Sage Moyuan Khan. Zhu Yu was so bold at this time that he directly proclaimed himself the Holy Khan regardless of whether Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive.

Wuyuntana was directly stunned by Zhu Chu's ambition and looked at Zhu Chu stupidly. But at this time, not only did she not feel inappropriate or humiliated at all, but she became excited and excited.

Could it be that the Mongol Empire is about to recover and rise?

Could it be that a new master is about to be born on the grassland, and the Immortal Heaven has sent a new holy khan who can command their rise?

As the eldest wife of Guilichi, Wuyuntana has a noble status not only in her own tribe, but also in the entire Tatar grassland.

And she also knows a lot of things, such as what the Great Khan is doing now, and that the grassland is actually falling apart now, including the open and secret fights between the Tatar tribe and the Oara tribe, and even the coming spring, Gui Lichi is ambitious and wants to fight with The idea of ​​starting a war in Wala and so on.

She watched with helpless eyes how lonely the once glorious Mongol Empire was now.

Moreover, her identity is different from that of ordinary prairie people, and she naturally views things differently. Even if she is not yet caring about the world, think about the ghost Lichi who cannot be reused, and how can her husband be the same as the one in front of her? Can you compare it to a Ming prince?

At this time, I heard Zhu Chu say again: "So that you all can listen. My king. No, although this Holy Khan is here to conquer you, I will not enslave you or plunder your property. Let alone let anyone harm your body, this Holy Khan is your heaven and your protector, and all you need to dedicate is your loyalty and surrender."

"Wuyuntana, this Holy Khan will take the initiative to withdraw three kilometers. You can decide for yourself whether you want to submit to this Holy Khan or be my enemy. At the same time, I will also give you a chance. If you don't want to submit, then leave. Come on, run away, run away to the depths of the grassland, to a place I don’t know.”

"But one day, this Holy Khan will unify the entire grassland again. By then, every corner of the grassland will belong to this Holy Khan's land, and everyone will belong to this Holy Khan's people. Today If you escape, where can you escape to in the future?"

"If you miss this opportunity, I, the Holy Khan, may not give you this opportunity again."

As he said that, Zhu Zhen indeed called everyone around him to turn back the way he came.

Moreover, Zhu Zhen also called the army, and actually retreated three kilometers from the original route, temporarily stationed in the distance, and gave Wuyuntana and the others time to make a choice.

“See Hail, Hail, Holy Khan.”

But suddenly, at someone's initiative, the grassland people knelt down in droves, and in the end even the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty knelt down.

Zhu Zhen was stunned. Good guy, his father, Emperor Hongwu, is still alive. He proclaimed himself emperor on the grassland? Is it okay?

All the slogans of long live were shouted out? If this reaches Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, he will rebel.

But Zhu Chu could not help but feel a little complacent and secretly proud, thinking that when he saw Lao Zhu in the future, he had to ask, why did your majesty rebel?

Well, who is going to rebel?

"Your Highness, here," Peng Yue stood there looking left and right, looking like he was about to cry, and looked at Zhu Ming anxiously.

At this moment, I felt quite like the sight of Zhao Kuangyin wearing a yellow robe.

More than [-] people in the entire army knelt down and worshiped. Zhu Chu publicly proclaimed himself Holy Khan and respectfully addressed him as Long Live, indicating that he was the Lord of the Tatar grasslands and regarded him as the King of the Tatars.

But Peng Yue knew very well that if he also worshiped, the situation would be completely different.

But now even Wang Fu and Niu Sheng, including Xu Miaojin, knelt down.

Xu Miaojin knew the righteousness well and expressed her determination in this way.

She is Zhu Chu's woman, so what if he wants to be the enemy of the whole world? She will only support him, only follow him, and only stand by his side.

What's more, Holy Khan? Except for the Sui and Tang dynasties, how long has it been since a king made the grassland obey?

Song? The Song Dynasty was destroyed by the grassland people, so don’t mention it.

After the Song Dynasty, the Central Plains dynasty will rise again.

How could the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty from the Central Plains not be extremely excited? Even if ordinary soldiers may not know what this means, these generals are too excited.

"Okay, okay," Zhu Ming took a deep breath, stretched out his hand to pull Xu Miaojin up first, and said: "Although I insist on being the king of the grassland, after all, I am only the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and my father is the current king of the grassland. The Emperor Hongwu is still alive and well, so stop shouting these long live slogans."

At the same time, Zhu Zhen said to Peng Yue: "Peng Yue, I have promised before that I will not force you to take sides, let alone help me rebel in the future, so you can rest assured."

Peng Yue is really about to cry. Your Highness, this is not a comfort. Do you dare to take back the last half of your sentence? Can I pretend I didn't hear it?

Next, because Zhu Zhen called himself Holy Khan, not only the entire army was excited, but also the grassland tribes were also excited. They no longer even called His Highness, but the honorary title of Khan.

The word "Khan" is already the highest level of honorific, and there is no need to call him "Khan Lord". Just calling him "Khan" is enough.

Moreover, it is not excessive and boastful to say that Zhu Chu defeated Guilichi with his own force and is now the king of the Tatar tribe.

What's more, Zhu Chu was originally from the Central Plains, a prince of the Ming Dynasty, and led a Ming army into the hinterland of the grassland.

To put it bluntly, the relationship between the two parties is hostile, so there is no argument for overstepping. Are you dissatisfied with me? Then let's fight.

There was going to be a fight.

In this way, Zhu Chu suddenly became the Holy Khan of the Tatar grassland. With the approval and following of hundreds of thousands of people, who dares to disapprove? Don't you want to fight? Where is your ghostly red man? Come and fight.

Of course, Zhu Zhen would not just close the door and enjoy himself. He did not forget that there was a huge tribe like Guilichi's headquarters waiting to be conquered.

"Khan, why don't you let us spread your great ideas so that we can disintegrate them internally?" Qiqige came to Zhu Chu and asked strangely.

She and Min Minte were already going to become the propaganda committee members under Zhu Chu, but they were wondering why Khan didn't let them take action this time?

Zhu Chu waved his hand and said: "This time, that time, the situation is different."

The reason is actually very simple. When Zhu Chu first entered the grassland, his power was not very strong. Even compared to other tribes, he could not gain an advantage.

In this way, Zhu Zhen naturally needed to adopt a soft policy, first to appease, and then to remove the power of the tribal leader, and even directly launch a 'charge' against the slave-ownership system by liberating the mind.

Who wants to be a slave when you can be a human being?

Therefore, Zhu Chu did this when dealing with the Arutai tribe and the Qiqige tribe, including Wang Fu's dealing with the Yahada tribe.

It was the best option at the time.

After that, Zhu Xi has actually been adjusting his methods and strategies. These are not static, but are always changing.

For example, when dealing with Tengger Lige, the tribe that Danduoer is now in charge of, they have been persecuted by Ghost Lichi and have been hurt physically and mentally. At this time, they only need to show kindness and they will naturally surrender.

When he was a member of the Badaljin tribe, Zhu Ji had already begun to conquer with force, and he did not hesitate to show his personal force.

As for the Yadalali tribe, they actually used force to intimidate them, and then used ideological reform to convert them back to their native land, thereby elevating their status as slave owners.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Ming's power is now strong enough that he no longer needs to 'compromise' like that.

So Zhu Ming said calmly: "Am I still afraid that they won't accept it?"

Yes, do we still need to care about this issue? How dare Wuyuntana refuse to accept it? Aren't you afraid that the entire tribe will be destroyed?

"Wait until they surrender first, and then liberate them. This is a gift from the Holy Khan to them, rather than asking them to submit to us. Doesn't this Holy Khan still ask them not to be killed by us?" Zhu Ming He also told a cold joke.

His expression showed a thoughtful expression.

At this moment, Min Minte came to report: "Report to the Holy Khan that Wuyuntana is here."
