Chapter 283 Seal the wolf to live in Xushan? Not urgent

Ghost Lichi, a great hero of a generation, finally died before his great cause could be accomplished.

But he can't keep up with Liu Bei.

With the death of Guilichi, the chaotic war on the Tatar grassland can finally be completely settled.

The leaders of various tribes under Zhu Min quickly gathered people from their respective tribes.

After final statistics, Gui Lichi's men died in a total of [-].

As for his own troops, a total of [-] people were successfully surrendered by Wuyuntana.

After all, that was Gui Lichi's most trusted troop, so he followed Gui Lichi until the last moment, and only more than [-] people were killed or injured.

In addition, Sanniangzi, as the leader of the Tumote tribe, recalled more than [-] men.

Then she found the leader of the Chiragut Tribe, Zheheng Aha, her father, and successfully persuaded the Chiragut Tribe to surrender.

As for Altan, he was originally the leader of the Tumut tribe, but he disappeared in the chaos, and his body was finally found in a corner.

It was later rumored that Altan did not die in the battle. Including the fatal injuries on his body, it seemed that he was stabbed to death with a knife after the incident. It did not look like he was killed on the battlefield at all.

As for what exactly he experienced, there is no way to know.

However, some people in later generations speculated that the third wife was only nine years old at the time, and the Holy Khan was worried that Altan's return to the Tumut tribe would easily leave hidden dangers and possibly lead to rebellion.

So he simply let people deal with Altan secretly.

As the saying goes, there are no two masters in the country, and now that the Tatar tribe has a new master, the Holy Khan, there is no need for an Anta Khan anymore, right?

"Holy Khan, this is my dog ​​Batu Timur. Timur, why don't you meet the Holy Khan?" Batu Buhua also gathered his strong men and brought Batu Timur in person. Meet Zhu Zhen.

Batu Timur lived up to his name. He was a tall and strong man, even compared with Badalkin.

Zhu Gong nodded secretly, he is a fierce man, and he can be the vanguard when he attacks Oala in the future.

In the process of escaping, Guilichi took away more than [-] strong men from various tribes. Although more than [-] people were killed or injured, nearly [-] people still surrendered.

Including these [-] people, Zhu Xun had an army of close to [-] people.

Even Zhu Di couldn't help but feel shocked when he saw this scene. He thought that one day if Zhu Xi led this terrifying prairie cavalry to break through the border, wouldn't he be able to march straight in to capture Yingtian?

"Old Shiba, I hope that one day, you and I will not become rivals," Zhu Di thought to himself.

Zhu Quan didn't have that much thought. After seeing that Zhu Ming had gathered such a huge army, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Eighteenth brother, are you going to defy heaven? I heard that they even called you Saint Khan? My dear, do you want to dominate the grassland? If my father knew about this, how should I reward you for your unparalleled achievements?"

Zhu Chu was not so relaxed, and said with a wry smile: "Stop making trouble, the so-called Holy Khan is just nonsense to quickly and stably control the grassland situation. Fourth brother and Seventeenth brother should not talk nonsense, otherwise It’s time for our father to whip me.”

After all, he is about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor on the grassland. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang loves his children, he must teach him a lesson this time. I am not dead yet.

What's more, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that he was ambitious. He couldn't escape being beaten this time when he went back, right?

"But I am doing it for our great Ming Dynasty and for the country and the people. So what if the world can't tolerate it or understand it? So what if I am taught a lesson by my father? If the grassland is unstable, the border will never be peaceful. So I haven't "I plan to return to the court, but continue to go deep into the grassland," Zhu Zhen said of his plan: "I want to continue fighting all the way to the Hulunbuir Prairie and conquer the remaining Tatar tribes."

"His Royal Highness the King of Dian is so brave that even we admire him deeply. If His Highness King Ning agrees, our departments are willing to continue to help you," a man from the prairie came over and volunteered.

Zhu Ming's heart moved, and he knew that this was the Duoyan Three Guards under Zhu Quan, and he was the leader of one of them.

Since the Duoyan Sanwei implemented the Jisi Guard system, which was similar to the chieftain system in Yunnan, Jurchens were used to control Jurchens, so these leaders can also be called commanding envoys.

In fact, the reason why Lao Zhu was eager to let Zhu Quan join the vassal state was because he wanted Zhu Quan to command this army. This was equivalent to another form of land reform, but instead of carrying out land reform, he used the Ming vassal king to control them.

Although historically Zhu Quan also became a vassal in this year (the [-]th year of Hongwu), Zhu Zhen always felt that there was some influence of his own in this.

But that's also a good thing.

Moreover, the Jurchens were the later founders of the Qing Dynasty. Once the Ming Dynasty declined, they would probably be dishonest, right?

Thinking in his heart, Zhu Min politely declined and said: "That's not necessary. After all, you are subordinates of my seventeenth brother, Prince Ning. Being able to come to help today is already a big help. If I continue to let you follow me, If I go deep into the grassland, I will be overstepping my bounds. What’s more, I want to surrender the entire grassland, but with my current military strength, can’t I do it?”

In fact, it was Zhu Zhen who knew that the Jurchens and the Mongols were feuding. The Jin State once oppressed and humiliated the Mongols, and later Genghis Khan led the Mongolian Empire to destroy the Jin State.

Now that they see this opportunity, these Jurchens may be eager to add insult to injury to the Mongols and plunder them wantonly, right?

Although they are both grassland people, the Jurchens and Mongols are feuding, but many of their styles and customs are similar.

It was these Jurchens who created the disgrace of Jingkang.

Sheep-taking ceremony? I'll make arrangements for you sooner or later.

It's just that the three guards of Duoyan still obey the Ming Dynasty. It's hard to fall out, but don't give them a chance.

"Speaking of which, the Chinese New Year will be here in a few days. Lao Shiba, since you don't plan to return to the capital, why not go to Shuntian with your fourth brother to celebrate the Chinese New Year?" Zhu Di suddenly made a suggestion, and looked aside to hide and pretend to be transparent. Xu Miaojin said with a smile: "It just so happens that the fourth sister is here, so you might as well go and see your eldest sister. She misses you so much. There are also some of your nephews."

As mentioned before, Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun got married in the ninth year of Hongwu, and then in the eleventh year of Hongwu, Xu Miaoyun gave birth to Zhu Di's eldest son, Zhu Gaochi.

It is equivalent to saying that Zhu Min's nephew is one year older than his uncle.

Two years later, Xu Miaoyun gave birth to the second child, Zhu Gaoxu, and three years later, the third child, Zhu Gaosui.

In fact, Zhu Di also had a fourth son, Zhu Gaoyun, but he died young and was not knighted. At the same time, there are few records, and it is not known whether he was still the son of Xu Miaoyun.

In addition to the first three sons, Xu Miaoyun also gave birth to at least four daughters to Zhu Di. Only the fifth daughter's biological mother is unknown, and she may also be the daughter of Xu Miaoyun.

It is equivalent to saying that all Zhu Di's children are basically Xu Miaoyun's children.

This shows how much love the couple has.

Xu Miaoyun is not idle, right?

Therefore, when talking about his wife, Zhu Di rarely showed a touch of warmth, love for the house and the bird, and took care of Xu Miaojin.

Xu Miaojin lowered her head in embarrassment. How could she be embarrassed to see her eldest sister? Otherwise, how could she tell her and Zhu Ming's affairs?

"Old Shiba, please don't bully my sister-in-law, otherwise I won't be able to spare you," Zhu Di was such a person that he couldn't help but teach this younger brother a lesson.

Zhu Ming did not dare to refute, but changed the subject and said: "It's just the Chinese New Year, let's focus on family and country affairs first. But after I have arranged the things on the grassland, if you are on the way, you can use Xifengkou to enter Guan, then we brothers will have a good time together."

"That's great. When the time comes, brother, I will host a celebration banquet for you in Daning. But brother [-], don't you not come," Zhu Quan agreed with all his heart.

Zhu Di shook his head in a funny way, thinking to himself that you two are really not shying away from suspicion at all.

It is quite taboo for the vassal king to meet in private, so Zhu Di also used New Year's rhetoric, and also brought up the relationship between the sisters Xu Miaoyun and Xu Miaojin.

How about you two? You really just want to meet in private?

One holds an army of [-] Duoyan Three Guards, and the other already has [-] prairie cavalry.

If you drive all the way from Xifengkou, do you want to kill Yingtian and plot to usurp the throne?

I'll give you a celebration banquet, can you handle it?

But Zhu Di also knew that the two younger brothers were not very old, one was almost sixteen years old, and the other was just about fifteen years old. Maybe they were not aware of the political consciousness, so he didn't say anything.

After that, the brothers got together again for a while, but after all, this place had just experienced a tragic melee, so it was really not suitable for a happy gathering.

In addition, knowing that Zhu Chun would continue to go deep alone, Zhu Di and Zhu Quan no longer delayed Zhu Chun's schedule. Each of them led an army to look from a distance, watching Zhu Chuan continue to lead an even larger army after cleaning the battlefield. The troops headed for the Hulunbuir Prairie.

"Wait a minute, is this kid going to Langjuxu Mountain?" Suddenly Zhu Di's heart moved and he was greatly shocked.

Lan Yu's fishing success was now considered to be in the Bell Lake area. At this time, Zhu Zhen was heading from the Chifeng area to the Hulunbuir Prairie, which he could pass by.

And as long as he successfully conquered and surrendered the Hulunbuir Prairie, and then continued northward, it would be the area of ​​​​the Kent Mountains, which is considered by later generations to be Langjuxu Mountain.

Once someone seals the wolf to live in Xushan after Lan Yu, one can imagine how big the impact will be.

Even Zhu Di took a breath and murmured: "I'm afraid from now on, as long as he doesn't rebel, no one in this world can control him. Holy Khan? Even my father may have to admit him. Title."

"But Lao Ba, Lao Ba, our father didn't get a Zen title, but you want it? It seems that you are quite ambitious. Anyway, even we are not convinced by that eldest nephew, so I won't say anything. "

Zhu Di vaguely felt that Zhu Ming had great ambitions.

But they have already achieved the title of king. To be honest, it is the end and the limit. If they go up, they will only have the throne.

But as a prince, he has such great ambitions. In many cases, it is not good.

But Zhu Di also had his own thoughts and plans, so he didn't say much. After greeting Zhu Quan, the two of them led their troops back.

This expedition was just to help Zhu Zhen. Speaking of it, the real main force in the battle was Zhu Zhen's troops. In the end, it was Zhu Zhen who surrendered the troops.

Now that they don't go home, will they still stay here to drink from the northwest wind?

As for thanks, it wasn't Zhu Zhen's turn to thank him. From now on, he only had to report the truth to the court, and when rewards were given based on merit, they would naturally have a share.

It would be better to say that if Zhu Yu thanked them privately and gave them gifts, what would Zhu Yuanzhang think?

This is a serious conspiracy to rebel, right?

So the three brothers only met briefly, fought together, and then went about their own business.

Not to mention how Zhu Di and Zhu Quan each returned to the vassal territory and drafted memorials to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Looking at Zhu Xun alone here, he led an increasingly large army of [-] to the Hulunbuir Prairie in the northeast. He did not forget to explain that the main purpose was to reform the minds of those who had recently surrendered. .

He always attached great importance to the people's hearts and minds. By the time he arrived at Bell Lake, which is now the fishing sea, the whole army was no longer distinguishable from each other.

Even the hundreds of thousands of newly surrendered men have now sincerely surrendered and completely regard Zhu Zhen as their holy khan.

Unfortunately, it is winter now, and there have been two heavy snowfalls before. Bell Lake has frozen, and the water of the lake cannot be seen flowing.

In addition, Lan Yu once invaded the Beiyuan Royal Court a few years ago, causing the tribes that once lived here to migrate to other places.

Zhu Chu came here specially, and missed another tribe for this reason.

There are a total of thirteen main tribes in the Tatar tribe. Now he has conquered ten tribes, including the original Guilichi tribe. In addition to the main tribe in the Hulunbuir Prairie, which is his natal Barhu Banner tribe, there are also There are two more tribes to conquer.

One of the tribes was said to have followed Khan Togusi Timur, but they had been defeated and dispersed by Lan Yu. They suffered heavy losses. Even their Khan Tougusi Timur only had one with him. The cavalrymen fled to Wala in panic.

As a result, Togu Si Timur was killed by Yesudier, which caused the Khan position to change frequently in these years, making the grassland unstable.

"Since we haven't found any trace of this tribe, let's continue to go deeper. When we go back later, we can just find the other two tribes by the way," Zhu Zhen gave the order nonchalantly and continued to advance.

And further ahead is the Hulunbuir Prairie.

And just a few days later, they finally arrived at the Barhu Banner tribe after a long journey.

The leader of the Barhu Banner tribe is called Balfu. He is a strong man of about thirty-five years old. He is also Qiqige's elder brother and a brother and sister from the same mother and father in the same tent.

Qiqige sent someone to deliver a message to her parents' family in advance, so there was no resistance. Balfu even came out to greet him personally, met with Zhu Chu, and expressed his submission in person.

In fact, even without the letter in its proper format, Balfe had no idea when he saw the [-] troops led by Zhu Chu.

You can't resist it at all.

In addition, Gui Lichi was already dead, so he did not need to feel any pressure. With his sister mediating the situation, it was even more logical for him to submit to Zhu Xi.

However, Zhu Chu was not ambiguous. Even though Balfu was like this, he still did not forget to carry out the transformation of returning to his native land, and even asked Qiqige to personally liberate his natal family.

Whether Balfe wanted it or not, there was nothing he could do.

What's more, if you don't do this, how can you reasonably redistribute the cattle and sheep of their tribe and use most of the cattle and sheep to reward the entire army?

Along the way, it can be said that they had no logistical supplies at all. If they didn't get some food quickly, they would have run out of food. It would be no joke if the entire army mutinied.

"But you don't have to worry. After this Holy Khan returns to the court, he will send a large amount of food and grass to the grassland. I guarantee that it will be easier for you to survive this winter," Zhu Zhen did not forget to appease Balfu and the others.

However, with so many tribes on the grassland, there are dozens or millions of people to support, and Zhu Chu finally felt Alexander.

Fortunately, he had previously asked Ningxia Zhenfang to exchange for grain in Shaanxi and Gansu. In addition, he had previously asked Shen Rong to go back to Yunnan to mobilize grain and grass, so it should not be a problem.

What's more, he didn't ask the court to raise money, but planned to exchange the livestock on the grassland for resources in the Central Plains in the future.

The common people got cattle and sheep, and the grassland people got food. It can be said to be a win-win situation of mutual assistance and mutual benefit.

Even though transportation was inconvenient in ancient times, fortunately, the Shen family caravan could help him solve many problems at any time, so he didn't have to worry.

After the Barhu Banner tribe was eliminated, Zhu Zhen led some people across the Hulunbuir Grassland and headed for the advanced Kent Mountains.

According to historical records, "The general Hussar of the Han Dynasty fought with King Zuoxian for more than [-] miles. The Han soldiers captured more than [-] Hushou captives. King Zuoxian all escaped. The Hussar was granted the title of Langjuxu Mountain. Zen Guyan, return to the Hanhai Sea'.

There are also records in the biography of Huo Qubing that "he came from Youbeiping for more than two thousand miles, helped Gong Lu, sealed the wolf to live in Xushan, Zen in Guyan, and climbed to Hanhai".

Based on this, it is speculated that the Langjuxu Mountain in ancient times should be the Kent Mountains.

At the same time, Kent Mountain is also one of the sacred mountains in the minds of Mongolian grassland people.

It is said that even Genghis Khan was buried here after his death.

Is he really going to ban the wolf and live in Xushan?

Thinking of this, all the soldiers in the army who followed Zhu Zhen were extremely excited.

This is just like the Zen seal of the Emperor of the Central Plains on Mount Tai. They can also carve their names together and offer sacrifices to heaven.

The leaders of the tribes who are following Zhu Chu are mainly Minminte, Qiqige, Yadalali, Badaljin, Danduoer, Wuyuntana, Batu Buhua and Batu Timur of the Arutai tribe. , Sanniangzi, Balfu, Zheheng Aha, as well as the three major commanders of the Ming army, and [-] soldiers and horses of the Ming army.

Zhu Chu stopped on horseback at the foot of the Kent Mountains, but stopped moving forward. He looked back at the talented generals behind him and suddenly lost interest.

"Seal the wolf to live in Xu Mountain? Although we have reached the foot of the mountain, it seems that there is no need for this," Zhu Zhen suddenly shouted: "Sooner or later, the name of this holy Khan will naturally spread to every corner of the grassland. No need. If the king personally consecrates it, people all over the world will naturally spread the word about it."

"What's more, I haven't completely conquered the entire grassland yet, but this is just my achievement. Why should I be complacent?"

"My father has not yet gone to Mount Tai to receive the Zen title. If he knows that my achievements, which are not even half or even one-tenth of what Genghis Khan has achieved, dare to come and receive the Zen title, will he be laughed out of his mouth when I return?"

"So the matter of the Zen title is put on hold for the time being. When the day comes, not only will this king be far superior to Genghis Khan, but I will even make the world surrender. Until then, let's talk about the Zen title."

"The class teacher returns to the court."

The grassland war can finally come to an end.

In the end, he still didn't seal the wolf's residence in Xushan. He just came to check in and was ready to go back.

It's time for the teacher to return to the court.
