Chapter 284
It is already January of the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu.
Since Zhu Xi started going to Xi'an in October last year to investigate the cause of death of his second brother Zhu Xi, he then went to Ningxia Town to provide support, and then went deep into the grassland.
He has been away from the capital for several months.
However, Zhu Ming's record along the way is amazing.
Now the entire Tatar grassland was finally completely conquered by him, including when he returned from the Hulunbuir grassland, he finally found the location of the last two tribes.
One of the tribes is called Tatar tribe, which is one of the oldest tribes in the Tatar grassland. Even Tatar tribe can be translated as Tatar tribe.
Before, they followed under the royal court of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and their pastoral lands were mainly distributed in the areas of Kuolian Haizi (today's Hulun Lake) and Yuerhaizi (today's Bell Lake).
As Lan Yu conquered the Beiyuan Royal Court, they moved elsewhere and were now subdued by Zhu Chu.
Their leader is called Tatar Alechi.
As for the last tribe, it is called Horqin tribe, which is also an ancient tribe on the Tatar grassland.
Originally, the final decisive battle between Zhu Zhen and Gui Lichi took place near the horizontal line of the Chifeng Grassland. It stands to reason that going deeper would be within the scope of the Horqin tribe.
It's just that Zhu Zhen went straight to Bell Lake, which is also the fishing sea, and missed this tribe. Until now, when he came back from the Hulun Buir Grassland, he finally conquered the Horqin tribe.
The leader of the Horqin tribe is called Hesar, and it is said that he is also a bloodline of the Golden Family, but he is not a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, but a descendant of Genghis Khan's younger brother Zhuochi Hesar.
So far, the entire Tatar grassland has been completely conquered and pacified by Zhu Chu, and he has firmly established himself as the Holy Khan.
Of course, the grasslands still have their own Great Khan. His title of khan is only recognized by the Tatar grasslands, but has not yet been recognized by the Oara and Uliangha tribes.
Unfortunately, Zhu Zhen also knew that it was time to return to the court.
Even though he still wanted to continue fighting deep into the grassland, the weather was getting worse and worse, and many people had died on the grassland. He valued the people's support and knew that if he continued to fight, it would make the current people more vulnerable. Some foundations become unstable.
It's time for the tribes to go back and recuperate.
However, this expedition to the grassland was quite fruitful.
The force value alone has increased by hundreds of thousands.
Initially in Ningxia Town, [-] people from the Arutai tribe were killed, and then [-] people from Natula and his men were killed. Wang Fu killed [-] people from the Yahada tribe, [-] people from the Tengellig tribe, plus the third At one time, he killed [-] ghosts in Lichi's headquarters. In this chaotic battle, he killed another [-] enemies.
A full increase of [-] force points means [-] lives.
But there is no way, this is war, and as long as war breaks out, people will die.
Zhu Chu can already deal with it calmly.
Besides.
As each tribe surrendered one by one, Zhu Chu's population also increased a lot.
Arutai has a population of [-].
The Qiqige tribe originally had a population of [-], but as the strong men who escaped rejoined, the population has reached nearly [-].
The population of Yahada tribe is also [-], and there are fully [-] adults.
Then the Badaljin tribe and the Yadalali tribe both have a population of [-].
The Tenggerlig tribe represented by Danduoer also has a population of [-].
Especially the surrender of the Guilichi headquarters led by Wuyuntana not only increased the population by [-] before, but also this time more than [-] prairie men surrendered, for a total population of [-].
There was also the surrender of the Tumut tribe on Jining Road, with a population of [-], and nearly [-] strong men who were persuaded to surrender by the Sanniangzi, with a total population of [-].
There is also the Ordos tribe of Batu Buhua, which has a population of [-], of which nearly [-] are strong men among the [-] people who surrendered before, for a total population of [-].
In addition, the Qilagut tribe has a population of [-], and the leader Zheheng Aha has [-] strong men who survived, for a total population of [-].
Then the Barhu Banner tribe has a population of [-], the Tatar tribe has a population of [-], and the Horqin tribe has a population of [-].
This is a total population of more than [-] million.
This also brought the total population of [-] million before Zhu Chu took control of the grassland to [-] million.
With the tax system gaining resources this month, even if I bought a drone before, I still have terrifying resources of [-] million.
These are all achieved by relying on his own abilities, and they are also his greatest confidence.
On the grassland near what is now Tongliao, that is, after conquering the Horqin tribe, Zhu Zhen, after personally completing the transformation of the last few tribes, could finally rest assured and prepare to return to the Central Plains.
At the same time, because he carried out a different kind of reform, although he also allocated cattle, sheep and horses to individual families in each tribe, he actually brought a large group of livestock out from the grassland in the end.
There are a total of [-] cattle, [-] sheep, and even [-] horses and horses.
Even Gui Lichi's bloody BMW was seized.
It's just that Zhu Zhen himself didn't intend to replace the old man, but gave it to Wang Fu.
With a trophy of this magnitude, Zhu Zhen came all the way, but no one dared to make any plans.
Nonsense, he has now become the largest lord on this grassland, and he is coming with an army of [-] people. Who dares to take advantage of him?
And when I returned to the battlefield where Gui Lichi was encircled and annihilated that day, it was the grassland in Chifeng.
Zhu Zhen stopped the army where it was and summoned the leaders of each tribe.
"Everyone, now that the grassland has been pacified, in addition to being your Holy Khan, this king is also the prince of our Ming Dynasty. Don't forget this," Zhu Zhen said suddenly.
The three Ming army commanders lowered their heads.
Even Xu Miaojin looked at him with a blank look. Don't forget it, right?
Thank you for remembering your identity.
"As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. After today, I'm afraid it will be time to say goodbye. Although it won't last long, there is no need to talk about our feelings anymore. You are all the subjects of this holy Khan and the son of the Ming Dynasty. People. From now on, there is no difference between you and the people of the Central Plains."
"And I promise that as your Holy Khan, I will never let you starve to death or freeze to death. Don't worry, there will be a steady stream of food and grass delivered to the grassland in the future. Not only that, I will also argue with the court in the future. Strive to find ways to open the border gates as soon as possible and open trading markets in places such as Helan Mountain and Jining Road. Since we, Hanmeng, are already one family, you can trade whatever you need in the future."
Zhu Xi's words were immediately echoed by everyone.
After all, grassland conditions are limited, and many things needed can only be obtained from the Central Plains.
However, the Central Plains and the Grassland have always had a hostile relationship, especially since the First Emperor built the Great Wall, and it was reinforced by successive dynasties, which created a natural chasm between the Grassland and the Central Plains.
Once Zhu Zhen can really open the trade channel between the two sides, it can be imagined that it will be a huge benefit to the grassland people.
Of course, it is also of great benefit to the people at the border.
Because of the openness of trade, the predatory style of nomads will be largely avoided, and with the prevalence of caravans, borders will also become richer.
However, these must be considered in the long term and cannot be fully implemented at once.
"And the reason why I can successfully conquer the tribes this time is also dependent on your help. Although I can't reward you for your merits for the time being, I will at least hold a celebration party. Come on, come on , let people kill cattle and sheep, let's have a good time and drink here," Zhu Zhen greeted.
Due to his status, Zhu Min really had no way to appoint officials and reward him, not to mention he didn't want these leaders to become bigger. The situation in the grassland was still based on stability, so it was best to maintain the status quo for now.
Although the leaders had complicated expressions, they did not dare to make any more demands.
Because Zhu Chu was saving face for them. In fact, weren't they all defeated and conquered? From the beginning of the Arutai tribe, Zhu Chu did not rely on his mouth to persuade them, but relied on his strong strength to defeat them one by one.
Therefore, they did not dare to ask for official appointments or wishes.
And after the celebration banquet started, the logistics team actually came over.
A group of tired women almost cried after finally seeing the large army. They finally found the main force, is it okay?
It was really Zhu Chu who killed so fast that he ran all the way to the Hulunbuir Prairie and came back. Only then did the logistics team finally set off from the original Tengger Lige tribe and then chased here from the Guilichi headquarters.
God knows how much suffering they have gone through.
The grasslands are still covered in ice and snow now. It's so cold. If they hadn't brought the abundant supplies of food and grass, many people would have froze to death.
In fact, now that the leaders of the tribes think back, they clearly did not bring enough supplies, but they did not lose their numbers due to bad weather conditions along the way. It has to be said that it is a miracle.
And what makes them feel strange is that even though they are experiencing such a harsh environment, no one is disloyal?
In fact, when they followed Zhu Zhen, they were more loyal than when they were treating Guilichi.
It was as if Zhu Zhen was their natural master, as if Changshengtian had decided from the beginning that they should be loyal to the Holy Khan. Is this so natural?
This is the charm of Zhu Ming's personality. He has always experienced the same environment as the soldiers, and they live and eat together. Even now, he does not hesitate to kill cattle and sheep. The logistics troops finally came to join him. He said bluntly that Everyone can have enough to eat and drink, and a warm tent can finally be set up.
Although they are on the plains in the wild, everyone feels warm in their hearts. Even the [-] soldiers who surrendered at the beginning do not feel that they are treated differently now, and they are no different from other grassland soldiers.
Who would be dissatisfied with such cohesion?
Later, even Zhu Chu's Ming soldiers went to mingle with the grassland soldiers, holding their arms around their shoulders, drinking wine, singing and dancing.
As for the female prairie soldiers, they were dancing and singing around the bonfire. They did not seem to be conquered by foreign invaders at all, but more like they had seen Genghis Khan unify the prairie tribes, and they were sincerely happy.
The lively celebration banquet lasted until evening.
The war is finally over, and it is a comprehensive victory. Of course, everyone can celebrate as much as they want.
Zhu Zhen was also in the big tent, celebrating with the tribal leaders.
But he didn’t know when he started drinking wine, eating meat and singing songs. Gradually, Zhu Ming suddenly discovered that the only female leaders were left in the tent.
Men like Badalkin and Yadalali, as well as the commanders of the three Ming armies including Wang Fu, all ran away for some reason.
When Zhu Chu noticed something, he noticed that the women in front of him were all giving him ill-intentioned looks.
For example, Qiqige, Wuyuntana, Minminte, and even Dan Duoer sat aside and watched the excitement with a dark look on their faces.
Although these three women are grassland women, they have their own characteristics. Not only Wuyuntana and Qiqige exude the aura of a lady, but their styles are also different.
His personality is relatively tough and direct, while Wuyuntana has a lazy and coquettish personality.
As for Min Minte, she is even more youthful and beautiful.
Zhu Ming glanced at the expressions of several women calmly, and then glanced at Xu Miaojin, who had his head lowered and a glass of wine in his hand but refused to drink it. He didn't know what he was thinking.
"What's going on? Is this considered your acquiescence?" Zhu Miao raised his eyebrows and asked Xu Miaojin: "Are they pouring ecstasy soup into you?"
He knew that Xu Miaojin was very jealous, so why was he so silent today?
Xu Miaojin sighed with a complicated expression, but still didn't say anything.
"My old lady will not get involved in your affairs. I will send this child to sleep." Danduoer finally stopped watching the fun and took away Sanniangzi, who was already sleeping beside her. She was still a child.
Zhu Zhen sneered: "What's going on? Is something going to happen? Why didn't I know?"
"Holy Khan, now that you are going back to the Central Plains, can you really just leave the things on the grassland alone?" Wuyuntana asked with a smile.
Qiqige also said: "Although we all surrender to you sincerely, you are far away in the Central Plains after all. If something happens on the grassland, you will not be able to know it immediately. Besides, if you let us women be the masters of the country, you will not be afraid. We marry someone else and use our tribe as a dowry?”
"So you just obey us, and we also promised Sister Xu that we don't dare to ask for any honors. Even if you leave a man and a woman, we don't dare to compete for favor." Wuyuntana was very bold, While talking, he had already leaned towards Zhu Xi.
Zhu Ming sneered: "Repay Sister Xu? Sister, have you become the elder sister?"
Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Ming sadly, and finally said: "Do you think I am willing? But their worries are not unreasonable."
"What nonsense? If they dare to betray, I will directly attack them with my army and destroy them." Zhu Zhen shouted coldly: "This is a serious matter for the family and the country, how can it be a trivial matter? What do you think of me? We can only maintain it by physical relationships. Relationship?"
Zhu Chu was really angry. He didn't expect these women to still have their own ideas. Damn, boys really want to protect themselves outside.
More importantly, what do they think of themselves?
Since ancient times, there have been precedents for marriage with the grassland, but what is the use?
Zhu Ming raised his fist, and even in the face of several women, he said: "Don't blame me for not warning you, the ugly words are ahead. I am a very narrow-minded person, and I believe that one infidelity will last forever. I The king has subdued you and treated you well. If you dare to go too far and shamelessly, I will not spare you next time."
This is his first time to conquer the tribes in the grassland, so many things can be discussed, and the main thing is to accept surrender.
But if they defect after surrendering, that is a different matter of principle.
When that time comes, I'm afraid he will do something even more ruthless than Gui Lichi.
"Actually, sometimes the truth in the world is very simple. The truth is as big as the fist." Zhu Zhen looked at his fist with a sneer, and then said to the women in front of him: "If you are not convinced, you can wait until my master returns to the court and try. To rebel."
Several women looked at each other.
"Look what you said, how dare we," Wuyuntana still wanted to fool her with a smile.
But Zhu Zhen just looked at her coldly, unmoved.
Wuyuntana finally understood that Zhu Zhen was serious, and had to sigh resentfully: "Should I say you are heartless, or too infatuated? What we want is just your protection and commitment. We are just women , now besides relying on your protection and fake power, what else can I do? In the end, you are not even willing to give me this little charity? "
Zhu Ming still looked the same and said calmly: "I conquered you, why should you make arbitrary conditions? And what I want is your loyalty. As for your body, I have never cared about it from the beginning. I have been greedy. As long as you are loyal to me, I will naturally protect you. But if you have evil intentions, even if something happens to you, it will be meaningless. So you should go out. "
Zhu Ming had already issued an order to expel the guests, but he didn't expect that they would still want to do this.
Marriage? If the marriage was effective, the relationship between the grassland and the Central Plains would have been as close as one family.
"Let me just say that Saint Khan is not that shallow and lustful," Min Minte stood up first, as if she had expected this result, and turned around to go out.
Wuyuntana curled her lips, but had no choice but to give Zhu Chu a resentful look, and she and Qiqige also left one after another.
At this time, Wang Fu poked his head in from outside the tent and took a look.
Zhu Zhen snorted and was about to teach him a lesson.
Wang Fu shrank his head and hid out. After following Zhu Zhen for so long, he still knew that it was best not to provoke His Highness at this time.
"You're so good," Zhu Ming couldn't vent his anger, so he turned around and ran towards Xu Miaojin: "You let your man go out so generously? What have I become?"
Xu Miaojin was also aggrieved: "Aren't I also worried that once you return to the Central Plains, you will be out of reach of the grassland? What if these people in the grassland betray you again?"
Didn’t the first three guards of Duoyan betray the Ming Dynasty and return to the embrace of Beiyuan?
The current Duoyan Sanwei was later re-established by the Jurchens and has nothing to do with the previous Mongolian Duoyan Sanwei.
"Besides, I know you have ambitions and lofty goals. If you really want to rebel one day, the power of these prairie people can play a vital role. But how do you ensure that they will really focus on you and will not What about backstabbing you at a critical moment?"
"If you take in a few Mongolian wives, you won't have to worry about anything," Xu Miaojin expressed her thoughts.
In fact, in history, when the Battle of Jingnan broke out, if it weren't for the internal strife on the grassland that he was also preoccupied with, Zhu Di would never have been able to ascend the throne so smoothly.
I'm afraid that when the Battle of Jingnan is halfway through, the grassland will invade.
Xu Miaojin had her reasons to worry.
Zhu Chu naturally has his own trump cards and confidence. From now on, when Simoden gets a red cannon and hangs it on the wall of the border city, the so-called truth is true within the range of the cannon, will he be afraid?
The worst case scenario is to bombard him with artillery.
It's just that Xu Miaojin didn't know how strong Zhu Chu's cards were, so he took it upon himself to acquiesce to Wuyuntana and the girls' seduction of Zhu Chu.
Zhu Ming was really angry and funny at this time. He picked up Xu Miaojin and said viciously: "The best thing you can say is really beyond your reach. I'll let you try it."
