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

Chapter 280 The power of historical correction? Anda Khan’s ambition?

Since the third brother Zhu Fan refused to borrow troops, Zhu Chen naturally did not need to continue to Taiyuan. He should not have met Zhu Fan in the first place, and Zhu Fan was already sarcastic, so there was no need for him to seek displeasure.

Zhu Chu simply spent a lot of money on a large purchase in the city the next day, and then used the army to transport many things, such as oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, and a large amount of grain, out of Yanmen Pass and back. Arrived on the grassland.

That's right, Zhu Chu used Hui instead of Jin.

Originally, he wanted to purchase such a large amount of materials, which was generally not allowed, let alone transporting them outside the customs.

However, the officers guarding the pass also vaguely heard about the achievements this army had made outside the pass, and they all admired it, so naturally they would not care.

So Zhu Chu returned from Guan Nei the next afternoon and returned to the city gate of Jining Road.

As a result, Zhu Chu found that his army had disappeared, leaving only a few limited tents.

Since the logistics troops have been unable to keep up with Zhu Chu's main force, they are naturally not so wealthy when they come out this time. The so-called setting up camp does not care about the limited number of tents they brought when they came out of the Wuyuntana tribe.

It can barely withstand the wind and cold, but it is really wishful thinking to house hundreds of thousands of people.

"What's going on? Where are my people? Where are my troops? Did they betray me in just one day?" Zhu Zhen almost fainted from anger. He was leaving for just one day.

There was actually no one left in the camp. There was still a small group of people who rushed out after hearing the noise.

Someone came over and reported: "Ask the Holy Khan, yesterday afternoon, some people in the city came out to surrender, and all the Tumote tribe had surrendered. However, because of your absence, the tribal leaders had to make their own decisions. They entered the city yesterday and fully accepted it. We have surrendered on Jining Road. We are waiting here specially for fear that you may misunderstand."

It turns out that it was not the army who mutinied and betrayed Zhu Zhen, but Jining Road who chose to surrender?

"It's because Gui Lichi forcibly captured all the strong men in the city, so they had to surrender," Zhu Zhen guessed the reason after just thinking about it for a moment.

Sure enough, when the Ming army led by Zhu Zhen returned and entered the city gate with great swagger, not only did they not encounter any resistance, but a steady stream of men and women soon joined Zhu Zhen's troops and spontaneously gathered behind him. Form a square formation.

Those men and women were his soldiers.

By the time Zhu Zhen was surrounded all the way to the gate of the government office in the city, the previous army had already regrouped behind him.

After receiving the news, the leaders of various ministries also came out of the government office to welcome him.

"Sister, I haven't met the Holy Khan yet," Wuyuntana was still holding a child in her arms and wanted to introduce him to Zhu Chu.

Zhu Ming looked at it and everyone was dumbfounded.

Because the so-called third lady turned out to be a girl who was less than ten years old, maybe only eight or nine years old?

Did you come here to take care of the children?

"Holy Khan, don't underestimate this child. She is actually the wife of Altan, the leader of the Tumut tribe. Her real name is Nayanchu Zhonggenhatun, and she is the daughter of Zheheng Aha, the leader of the Chiragut tribe. So Also named Qila Gut," Wuyuntana introduced the girl's identity to Zhu Chu.

Prairie people generally do not have surnames. Even if they do have rare surnames, most of them are based on the name of the tribe or the surname of the tribe's location.

For example, Sanniangzi's surname is her tribal name.

At the same time, although Sanniangzi is indeed only nine years old, this is an important marriage between the two tribes. It is an act of Altan, the leader of the Tumut tribe, to unite with the Chiragut tribe to gain the support of its leader Zheheng Aha. .

Zhu Ming fell into deep thought, and he always felt that this third lady sounded familiar, and that Altan, the translated Chinese name from the Central Plains, seemed to be Anda?

Am I sweating? And the legendary Mongolian woman Sanniangzi?

These don’t seem to be characters from this era, right? Or is it just the same name?

Is it really such a coincidence?

Zhu Ming frowned and fell into deep thought.

As a scumbag student with poor grades in history, Zhu Zhen vaguely noticed something strange, but he didn't know what was wrong.

Or is it that, in fact, the butterfly effect has flapped its wings without him noticing, and the original history has already been undergoing many unknown changes before he knew it?

For example, in history, Gui Lichi and Arutai's sneak peek at the throne of Khan, and even the break with Wala, did not happen this year. It may even take a few more years, when Yongle is the year when Zhu Di ascends the throne. , when the Battle of Jingnan broke out, the Central Plains was in chaos and the grasslands were also in chaos.

If the grassland really dared to cause internal strife during the Hongwu period, and once Emperor Hongwu found out, wouldn't he send troops to destroy you?

In fact, the influence Zhu Ming brought was changing history. It would be better to say that he had a deep understanding of it from the beginning. For example, Xu Da was still alive. He once complained about it, how could people who deserved to die be still alive?

It's just that Zhu Zhen didn't understand history, so he ignored many things.

It would be better to say that he started to make drastic changes in Yunnan. It was no longer just a weak influence and subtle changes like the butterfly effect, but he was about to rewrite history.

If this does not affect the historical process, it will be simply false.

However, if this Altan is really the historical Anta Khan, how many overlords will appear on the grasslands during the same period?

Not to mention the current Great Khan who has lost all popularity, Guilichi also served as a Great Khan in history, plus Anda Khan.

"Historical correction power? Do you want to combine the abilities of two big men to deal with me?" Zhu Zhen narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had thought about Wang Mang and Liu Xiu before. With Wang Mang's strength, how could Liu Xiu defeat them?

It is said that Wang Mang was about to completely annihilate Liu Xiu, but a meteorite fell from the sky and destroyed his army. Then he was overthrown by Liu Xiu, restored the Han Dynasty, and rebuilt the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Will he also be defeated by the so-called chosen one? Forcibly repaired by history?

"I have a system by my side. I am the Chosen One. Even if there is any historical correction power, I will break it. So what if I do get some Amata Khan out in advance? If you have the ability, you can resurrect Genghis Khan. Even if it is true. Alexander has been resurrected, so we are not afraid."

"Rather, it would be interesting if we really had the opportunity to compete with famous overlords from other countries."

When Zhu Zhen thought of this, he immediately raised his brows, smiled, stretched out his hand to rub the little head of the mistress, who seemed to be well-behaved and sensible in Wuyuntana's arms, and said, "What a cute little baby."

The third lady frowned and said fiercely: "Even if you are the Holy Khan, you must not underestimate me. After all, I am representing two tribes in negotiations to surrender to you."

oh? Still negotiating?

Wuyuntana even laughed and said: "Why don't you give this child to the Holy Khan as a child bride? I remember the saying that your Han family has a child bride?"

It is said that the Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms once recorded that ‘when the child is ten years old, the son-in-law’s family will welcome him as his daughter-in-law.’ Perhaps the custom of child bride-in-law existed during the Three Kingdoms period?

Zhu Ming was shocked. How could this pass the trial? I'll take your head off.

"Shut up," Zhu Zhen scolded angrily. Didn't he see that the child's eyes widened in fright?

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense and get down to business. I entered the customs this time and purchased some things. I will distribute them to everyone later as a reward for this period of time. After the ghost Lichi is eliminated, the entire Tartars will be pacified in one fell swoop. After the Tao grassland, I will naturally reward you with a heavy reward," Zhu Chu explained and asked Peng Yue to go down and make arrangements.

There was nothing wrong with this. Wang Fu would definitely follow Zhu Ming. Although Niu Sheng was a little cautious, he still had a carefree personality. Only Peng Yue was the most suitable to arrange this job.

But what Peng Yue was thinking, whether he was disappointed and thought he was being excluded by Zhu Zhen, was hard to say.

Zhu Ming then explained to the people in front of him: "Guili Chi is like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger. We can no longer let him grow stronger. This time I returned to the pass for another purpose, which is to launch I have asked my fourth brother, King Zhu Di of Yan, to send troops from Xifengkou to block Guilichi's escape route. Now if we pursue them again, we can attack them all from the front and back. It is time to decide the outcome, and it is also time to end the grassland. There was a chaotic fight."

Zhu Zhen definitely didn't want Guilichi to continue to grow. Did he flee or go to conquer the tribes?

Zhu Ming always felt that he was a fool, he could only fall behind by one step, and he could only run behind Gui Lichi every step of the way.

But in fact, he didn't have to follow Gui Lichi at all.

No, he went back to the customs once and then sent a letter to his fourth brother.

I believe that with Emperor Yongle's great ambition, even if he is only a prince now, he will definitely not miss this opportunity.

In comparison, the third brother is a bit more short-sighted. No wonder it was Yongle who ascended the throne in history, not him.

"Sanniang, right?" Zhu Zhen looked at the girl in front of him again, and no longer looked down upon her, but said to her: "Next, I am going to drive away Guilichi and kill them all. All those who follow Guilichi must be killed." Die. But this King, or this Holy Khan, is willing to give you a chance. Wuyuntana, Qiqige, Minminte, and Sanniangzi, Batu Buhua. When the time comes, you can go to the front of the formation first Call the people of your tribe and ask them to wake up and abandon the darkness and surrender to the light. If anyone is willing to defect to my king, he can forget his fault. If not, he will definitely be executed without mercy."

Zhu Zhen has made up his mind to avoid future troubles in the next battle.

The main reason is that the winter weather is getting worse and worse. It snowed for the second time in the past two days, and the snow was quite heavy. Some soldiers in the army have begun to suffer.

Even if we continue to march and fight in such ice and snow, I am afraid that we will start to suffer from attrition. Zhu Chu already loved his soldiers as much as his son, so no one died of frostbite. Otherwise, if he had been replaced by some hard-hearted generals who ignored human life, he doesn't know how much the number of troops would have been reduced due to the environment.

So no matter what, the next battle must completely eliminate Guilichi. At the same time, he should also be prepared to be recalled to the capital.

He is not Yue Fei, and he doesn't want to disobey several imperial edicts. There will be no explanation at that time.

So Zhu Ming began to prepare the entire army and take a good rest in the city today. He also distributed many things purchased from Datong Town, including food and drink, and some clothing.

Zhu Ming even brought gifts to several female general leaders. They were some rouges selected by Xu Miaojin, and Xu Miaojin took them to try them.

As for men, it would be easy for a group of big men to get together and have a good meal of Guan Nei's soju, not to mention how happy they would be.

At the banquet, Zhu Chu raised a glass of invitation and said: "Everyone, this is not the time to slack off. When Guilichi's head is chopped off, I, the King, this Holy Khan will reward everyone. At that time, everyone will sing and dance at the celebration banquet. You won’t come home until you’re drunk.”

"Here."

Both the Ming and Han generals and several grassland leaders quickly stood up to take orders.

Then Zhu Chu asked everyone to have a good rest. Since he promised not to get drunk until the celebration banquet, he naturally didn't want everyone to have a good drink today. If he drank too much, wouldn't it cause trouble tomorrow?

In the early morning of the next day, under the biting cold wind, a troop exuding high morale gathered outside the city on Jining Road. Even the cold wind could not dissipate their high morale.

There were hundreds of thousands and close to [-] troops, such a huge army that even Zhu Zhen couldn't help but get excited. This was something he finally managed to pull up by using all kinds of means.

Although half of them are female soldiers, the number is there after all.

The pressure brought by this large force alone was enough to make the people in Jining Road City secretly rejoice.

As Zhu Chu had guessed before, Altan, the leader of the Tumut tribe, had followed Gui Lichi and led the strong men in the city to leave the day before the arrival of Zhu Chu's army. Therefore, there is only an almost empty city here. Although it has a population of hundreds of thousands, But it was difficult to resist the cavalry of the army.

That's why Sanniangzi chose Kaicheng to surrender. They couldn't stop them. They had no choice but to die or surrender.

At first, some people doubted that the third wife was only nine years old, and a child actually let her make the decision?

But now? No one dared to doubt it anymore.

It's just that the third lady also followed the army at this time, and was still being held in Wuyuntana's arms and taken care of. It really seemed like she had become Wuyuntana's daughter.

Zhu Chu didn't have time to renovate Jining Road, and he didn't want to waste any more time. These things could wait until later. The most important thing at this time was to completely annihilate Guilichi to avoid future troubles.

Zhu Chu was riding at the forefront of the army, facing his own army, and suddenly his heart surged.

There is such a large army on the grassland, and there is also an army of nearly [-] in Yunnan, and these are all regular troops, not counting the potential sources of troops.

In fact, he has become a prince. Not only does he have the title of vassal king, but even in any dynasty, the [-] cavalry on this grassland alone are enough to rule the king and hegemony. Even in the Three Kingdoms era, he can defeat himself. A piece of the world.

With such a force, why worry about big things happening? Why not build a career?

Just a ghost? It's no longer worth mentioning.

"The whole army listens to the order. There is only one goal here. Kill the ghosts. Those who kill the ghosts will be rewarded with ten thousand households, fifty thousand cattle and sheep, and ten thousand taels of gold."

Zhu Ming shouted loudly, knowing that there must be brave men under the heavy reward, so he directly promised to be a high-ranking official and generous salary.

The morale of the whole army was already high, and they even cheered in unison after receiving the heavy reward.

Zhu Zhen showed a satisfied smile, then turned his horse's head and shouted: "Go to war."

There is no need to do any extra mobilization. As long as Zhu Chu goes wherever he goes, the entire army will not hesitate or hesitate. It can be said that they will follow him to the death.

It has been mentioned that we will follow to the death, but what exactly does it mean to follow to the death?

For example, when Zhu Zhen and Gui Lichi had an encounter before, it was not actually a complete victory, but each department suffered considerable losses and casualties.

At that time, one hundred Ming soldiers and [-] female soldiers of the Danduer tribe were killed. The Qiqige tribe suffered casualties of [-] female soldiers and [-] male soldiers. Minminte's subordinates also suffered casualties of more than [-] female soldiers, as well as Badalkin. Both of them and Yadalali were also damaged, and in total, thousands of people were killed.

In total, tens of thousands of people were damaged.

This was because Zhu Chu and the others caught Gui Lichi off guard. They even relied on Zhu Chu's tactics to defeat them in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, more people will die.

However, no one complained or flinched. As long as Zhu Chu pointed out, they still moved forward unwaveringly. This was to follow him to the death, and to be loyal to him to the death. I am afraid that even if Zhu Chu asked them to die, they would not hesitate.

Because their Highnesses, their Holy Khans, often lead the charge and are the first to confront the enemy.

Unlike Guilichi who would abandon his men and flee, their highness would only rush faster than them and would never let them die in vain.

Zhu Ming was proud to have such subordinates, so how could they not be grateful to have such a leader?

This is Zhu Chu's personality charm. Once they have seen his charm, no one will want to leave him, because after seeing how good he is, they will think that everyone else is a bad person.

A force formed with such cohesion would be extremely terrifying.

At this time, Gui Lichi didn't know that Zhu Zhen was already chasing after him. At this time, he was in another tribe.

There are twelve tribes in the Tatar tribe, or a total of thirteen tribes, including Guilichi's headquarters.

Today, the Arutai Tribe, the Yahada Tribe, the Qiqige Tribe, the Yadalali Tribe, the Badaljin Tribe, the Tengger Lige Tribe represented by Danduoer, the Guilichi Tribe, and the Ordos Tribe, Plus the Tumut tribe living in the Jining Road area.

Nine major tribes have already submitted to Zhu Zhen.

In fact, if the messengers sent by Qiqige had reached the Hulunbuir Prairie and the Balhu Banner, her natal Balfu tribe might have surrendered without any bloodshed.

Calculating this way, there are not many tribes left for Guilichi.

And the tribe he was rushing to at this time was actually Sanniangzi's tribe, the Qilagut tribe, the in-law tribe of Altan, the leader of the Tumut tribe.

"Altan, why are you involved with Guilichi?" The tribe leader Zheheng Aha pulled his son-in-law Altan aside and scolded him angrily: "You have ruined your family fortune. With them all brought out, how can Jining Road resist the Ming army's iron cavalry? Where do you put my daughter, Sanniangzi? I am so blind that I thought you were a malleable talent. Now Guili Chi's reputation is already known to everyone, and he is not a human king at all. You still want to follow him? What on earth do you think? Are you crazy? "

Altan sneered and said: "My father-in-law, don't be impatient. I know you are impatient, but don't be impatient first. What Guilichi did to the Tenggerlig tribe, I'm afraid everyone on the grassland will be wiped out." Got it. How can I serve him? He is a descendant of Genghis Khan, am I not a member of the Golden Family?"

It turns out that this historical Anda Khan was also a descendant of the Golden Family, and even once unified the grasslands again.

At this time, Altan finally revealed the reason why he was willing to follow Guilichi, whose reputation had become bad: "After all, Guilichi is still the nominal leader of the Tatar tribe. I can't rebel directly. Besides, he is now in Help me gather my forces."

"When we fight again with the Ming army later, let him die in the rebel army. Then I will stand up and shout, and great things will be accomplished. Father-in-law, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. As long as you and I support me and coerce Who dares to disobey?"

Altan finally revealed his ambition.

How can there be room for two great Khans in one era? Just like there are no two days in the sky, there are no two masters in the country. Since Altan came to this era in advance, it is his world.

However, Altan may not know it yet, but another holy khan is on his way.
