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

Chapter 403 Let you know clearly

When Zhu Zhen led the Ming army to charge against the Eastern Chagatai Khanate army.

At the same time, Mu Chu and Mu Tu, their father and son, were leading 100,000 of their own Naxi warriors and collided head-on with the Tibetan soldiers rushing out from the east gate of Lhasa.

When the two armies fight, it can be said that the brave one wins when they meet on a narrow road.

At this moment, there is no room for any conspiracy or strategy.

Only the most primitive hand-to-hand fighting is left.

As soon as the war began, it was at a fever pitch.

The father and son Mu Chu and Mu Tu were chieftains. Mu Chu's father, Mu De, followed Fu Youde, Lan Yu, Mu Ying and other armies and made great military achievements in pacifying Yunnan.

Therefore, the father and son are also armed with force.

Even Mu Qiu is quite capable, not to mention her brother and nephew.

So the two of them took the lead and led a group of soldiers. They actually killed the Tibetan soldiers to the city gate, blocked the city gate hole and fought their way in.

Not to mention letting them fight for the loss of Mr. Xi Si, it was good that they did not take advantage of the situation to rebel when the Ming army and the previously black Erhuo were attacking the city.

"I don't accept it," Naisi Gong, who was out of prison, rubbed his neck and yelled at Zhu Chu: "We have surrendered and been canonized by the Ming Emperor. Why do you go back on your word and attack us?"

In the city, Xisi Gong looked ashen as he was out of prison, watching helplessly how his army was falling apart bit by bit.

Zhu Zhen smiled and looked at Xi Sigong missing from prison, and said: "Since you have questions, I will let you die to understand."

It was their own suicide that led to today's situation.

Because he understood that his situation was over.

In the Military and Civilian Marshal's Mansion, Zhu Chu was sitting in the lobby, while Xie Sigong was out of jail and could only kneel down below.

Although Tibet does not directly border the grasslands in the north, it is not far away.

However, Zhu Chu warned Mu Chu that your Mu family has received many privileges and resources. If you are still unable to benefit the people of your clan, it will harm the world and God will not tolerate it.

Zhu Ming suddenly laughed and shook his head: "I have agreed to let you die, why don't you want to die? It will be difficult for us to do it if you don't die."

Xie Sigong, who was out of jail, frowned and angrily said: "What a holy Khan, I didn't expect to be so narrow-minded. And I still don't understand why the Ming Dynasty suddenly broke its promise to attack us."

The city of Lhasa was full of serf Tibetans kneeling on the ground and shivering, with their weapons beside them, but they did not dare to resist.

As slaves, they did not have their own land or houses, and even weddings and funerals required the consent of their masters.

Not to mention playing with your woman, it means selling your woman, your wife and children. You still have to be grateful, help count the money, and help send people there.

He didn't expect this person to have heard of him.

"We have heard about the name of the Holy Khan for a long time, and it has spread on the grasslands. It is said that a Holy Khan has emerged on the Tatar grasslands, and his greatness is comparable to Genghis Khan." With Zhu Xun.

Only then did Zhu Ming suddenly realize that it was the news coming from the other side of the grassland.

The other 200,000 are serfs who have been starving to the point of being haggard. Why do you want them to go to war? Believe it or not, you might die on the spot if you fall?

Looking at the Naxi people, although Lijiang Prefecture still maintains the chieftain officer system.

No one knows better than himself how his so-called 200,000-strong army is composed.

Countless Tibetan serfs screamed and fled in all directions.

In fact, the number of troops that can really fight a battle is no more than 50,000, which is still not as good as the Naxi.

After receiving the news, Zhu Zhen asked someone to escort more than 100,000 surrendered troops of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate into the city of Lhasa.

But who’s to blame?

The 130,000 households could have had at least 130,000 soldiers who were good at conquering and fighting. If they had not fallen into disgrace and oppressed the Tibetan people.

Even today, there is a large area of ​​Mongolian and Tibetan Autonomous Regions in Qinghai.

It's so cruel and cruel.

Comparing the two cars, one can judge the difference between them.

Even the wealth and life of every serf belonged to the slave owner.

Xi Sigong, who was out of prison, was the leader of Uzzandu and the largest serf owner. At this time, he was too lazy to crack the whip on the serfs.

But Zhu Chu had also warned Mu Chu that he was doing it for Mu Qiu's sake, and when Dao Ganmeng took advantage of the emptiness in the rear to attack Dali, Mu De died on the road to support Dali after getting the news.

In fact, there is no need to resist.

In the end, the Mu family father and son led 100,000 Naxi warriors and fought bloody battles. They managed to break through and captured Xi Sigong alive.

Therefore, the flow of information is not blocked.

Under these 130,000 households, more forces can be derived that can fight.

Although Dali is not as far from Lhasa as the capital, it is as far as Dali from Changsha.

"I also heard that the Timur Empire established a new Great Khan because it learned that the grasslands were now weak and the Oara rebels were causing rebellion, so they planned to lead their troops to the east and use troops against the grasslands. Prince Daming, If you are willing to spare my life, I am willing to do my best and lead the Tibetan troops to help you. How about it?" This is what Xisi Gong was thinking of?

What's more, when Zhu Ming was doing business on his own, he also took Lijiang with him to make a fortune.

"It's really my own fault that I can't survive. Is God going to kill me?" Xie Sigong raised his head and roared when he was released from prison.

"My king? Are you the prince of the Ming Dynasty? Wait, are you the king of Dian, Zhu Chu?" Cai Sigong exclaimed when he was imprisoned. He had also heard of Zhu Chu's name?

"Oh? You know me?" Zhu Zhen was surprised.

You are the heads of the Naxi people and you must shoulder your responsibilities.

Zhu Zhen was not an ungrateful person, so he was the only chieftain of the Mu family left in Yunnan.

So the Naxi people have already lived a good life.

"So please listen to me and tell me slowly," Zhu Zhen said, looking up to the left and right.

All the important generals lined up around him, and his wives stood obediently behind him.

It's a pity that Wang Fu is not here at this time, otherwise he would have tacit cooperation with Zhu Chu and know what Zhu Chu is going to do.

That's not right. That guy Lao Wang has evil intentions. With just one look from me, he couldn't have killed Mr. Xi Si after he was imprisoned?

Zhu Ming sighed and said: "Who is going to shut his mouth? Should he ask me, or should I interrogate him?"

Xi Sigong talked too much when he was released from prison, which made Zhu Zhen wonder, who is the prisoner?

Mu Sheng quickly took out a piece of cloth and walked over. He didn't know what kind of cloth it was, so he was about to stuff it into Xie Sigong's mouth.

Xi Si Gong, who was out of jail, gritted his teeth and glared at the people in front of him. He was still very stubborn?

It's a pity that Zhu Ming has seen through him. If Xi Sigong was out of jail, if he was really that stubborn, he wouldn't be hiding in the city.

Look at Zhu Chu's soldiers, which one is not taking the lead? Which one is not rushing into battle to kill the enemy?

So Zhu Ming said to Mu Sheng: "Pinch his nose and let me see if he can suffocate to death or if he can speak. If he would rather suffocate to death, I will erect a warrior inscription for him."

Mu Sheng curled his lips in disgust and reached out to pinch Si Gong's big nose.

Xi Sigong, who was out of jail, finally spoke, but Mu Sheng stuffed a smelly rag into his mouth.

Some people are curious: "What kind of cloth is that? Why does it smell like that?"

"Ah, it's my foot wrap," Mu Sheng replied casually.

Xie Sigong, who was out of jail, rolled his eyes and almost fainted.

Thanks to you for telling me, the scholar can be killed but not humiliated.

It's a pity that Xisi Gong is out of jail and can no longer speak.

Zhu Ming suppressed his laughter, looked at Xie Sigong's imprisonment, and then said: "Xie Sigong's imprisonment is such a bad name, isn't it? I almost called it wrong. You ask why the Ming Dynasty wants to attack you? Look, you guys He keeps saying that he will surrender to me, the Ming Dynasty, and be my minister, but in the end he is still dissatisfied in his heart and regards himself as the master."

"You accepted the seal and official position given by the Ming Dynasty, but you did not receive a salary from the court, and you did not pay taxes to the court. And your so-called tribute is more like a transaction, and I, the Ming Dynasty, will repay the gift to you. It is really unreasonable, you yourselves As a slave owner, have you ever given gifts to your serfs? Are there any such servants?"

"I told you to die clearly, and I will do what I said. I don't need any restraint system, or the so-called vassal state. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish. Either surrender or die. So Nie Sigong is out of prison. , Unless you die, it will be difficult for us to do anything."

Zhu Chu looked at the change in Xia Sigong's expression and knew that he had understood why there was today's battle.

The simple truth is that what Zhu Zhen wanted was not verbal or nominal surrender from Tibet. That would be meaningless and would never be recognized by future generations.

Therefore, what Zhu Chu wants is actual land and actual surrender.

From now on, the imperial court will personally appoint officials and pay them salaries.

All taxes collected here must also be turned over to the national treasury.

"Do you understand?" Zhu Zhen asked.

Xisi Gong, who was out of jail, lowered his head with a pale face. He already understood, and even more clearly, that he had no chance of survival. But what is strange is that Zhu Zhen did not rush to have Naisigong imprisoned and beheaded, but temporarily imprisoned him.

Then, Zhu Zhen began to ask about the losses in this battle.

As a result, I was told that because the Naxi people were fighting the Tibetan soldiers head-on, they lost more than 3,000 people, of whom more than 1,000 were killed, more than 500 were injured, another 800 were seriously injured, and the rest were lightly injured. hurt.

On the contrary, those who followed Zhu Zhen in the charge suffered very few casualties.

This is because two rounds of artillery salvos shattered the military formation of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, and the black fire fighters were killed, leaving the group without a leader and unable to form an effective confrontation.

It was simply a one-sided massacre.

As for enemy casualties.

Because Zhu Ming had systematic statistical data, he knew what was going on.

The first was the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, which sent a total of 450,000 troops this time, claiming to be 500,000.

Among them, 300,000 were killed in this battle, and 150,000 were captured alive.

Then, Xisi Gong was imprisoned and claimed to have 250,000 men, but his actual combat strength was 50,000, and his entire army was wiped out.

This also means that Zhu Ji's force value has increased by another 350,000, not counting the results of several other fronts.

This also brings Zhu Ji's current force value to 710,000.

The techniques for the foundation building stage are now in place.

"Your Highness, why haven't you killed that old guy?" Someone asked.

When Zhu Chu saw that it was Cen Hua who was asking, he couldn't help but feel funny. This girl was really there.

"His Highness must want to cut that guy into pieces," Mu Sheng said casually.

Zhu Chu looked over with a dark look and said: "You kid, learn more from your brother from now on, don't be so ignorant and incompetent."

Mu Sheng suddenly looked aggrieved. Did he say something wrong?

Zhu Ming sighed: "Have you forgotten someone? He is still a very important person."

one person? who?

"Mr. Gu Wen, my Lord Zuo Changshi. Weren't you at the scene at that time?" Zhu Zhen was speechless.

Because everyone in the room, except for his wife and Qian Gui, actually forgot about Gu Wen?

Wait, Xin'er, why do you look so confused?

Zhu Chu turned to look at Tang Xin.

Tang Xin's pretty face turned red and she looked away with a guilty conscience.

Well, although she is not stupid, she is slower than Xu Miaojin in thinking.

But she is very strong.

Uh.

If you use your strength to produce miracles, will it be the end of everything?

Fortunately, Qu Neng is a trustworthy veteran.

In fact, Qu Neng is just calm because of his age.

"Mr. Qian, is there any news about Mr. Gu?" Zhu Zhen asked Qian Gui first.

Qian Gui suddenly sighed with compassion, clasped his fists in front of Zhu Chu and bowed.

"I'm not dead yet," Zhu Ming looked at him expressionlessly.

Qian Gui smiled bitterly. He was not in a joking mood at this time, but said: "Mr. Gu will come to join His Highness soon, and what should I say about the information he has collected during this period. Let me tell you about Tibet The people have a deeper understanding. At first, I thought His Highness’s original words were alarmist, and I was even worried that you were really trying to confuse the truth with falsehoods. But I didn’t expect that Your Highness, you would be so kind.”

Recalling the tragic "stories" Zhu Chu once mentioned when he first entered Tibet, and hearing Qian Gui say that what Zhu Chu said was all kindness, everyone couldn't help but shudder.

If this is considered kindness, how terrible is the real cruelty?

Zhu Ming's expression also turned cold, and he looked at Cen Hua and Mu Sheng, and said: "Aren't you curious why I didn't rush to kill Xie Sigong because he was out of prison? Because it's not the time to kill him yet. It's not the trial yet. It’s his time.”

To put it bluntly, it is still the same old trick that Zhu Chu has been using, which is nothing more than diverting conflicts and diverting the attention of immigrants' anger.

Today's Ming army is considered an outsider and an intruder to Tibet.

But if Zhu Chu can arouse public anger, it can awaken the consciousness of the Tibetan people and make them understand that it is their slave owners who oppress and persecute them.

By then, he, Zhu Chu, will be the hero who comes to save them.

Isn’t this the so-called people’s will?

But Zhu Zhen was not playing with people's hearts. He was just stimulating these things and making people who were not aware of them aware of them.

"Perhaps, we really need to cut him to pieces and execute him Ling Chi in order to alleviate the public's anger," Zhu Ming murmured.

Everyone trembled.

As the war ended, Zhu Zhen quickly occupied Lhasa.

At the same time, he did not forget to clean up the battlefield.

The temperature in Tibet varies greatly. When it is cold, it can freeze at night in summer.

But when it’s hot, it can reach 20 or 30 degrees.

(It is said that the highest temperature in Lhasa seems to be only 30 degrees.)

In order to prevent a large number of corpses from piling up together, which might cause plague lesions, Zhu Zhen asked the 150,000 surrendered troops, that is, the people of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate, to clean the battlefield outside the city, including digging holes and removing the corpses. Buried, the body is decomposed by the earth.

In fact, Tibetan funeral culture includes sky burials and water burials, but Zhu Zhen didn't dare to do it casually. If a plague broke out, a lot of resources would have to be spent on treatment, so why bother.

In the next few days, Zhu Zhen quickly took over the ownership of the entire city. He even visited the current Potala Palace once.

The Potala Palace is very splendid. After all, as mentioned in the previous article, the Potala Palace was originally the standard of a royal palace, but now it is occupied by a group of lamas.

Zhu Zhen was not polite and directly controlled all the lamas.

Although this has caused dissatisfaction among many Tibetans, after so many years of development, Tibetan Buddhism has already spread throughout Tibet, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has followers across the country.

But they didn't dare to say anything.

During this period, there was also a great lama who said something very interesting and thought-provoking to Zhu Zhen.

At that time, Zhu Zhen had just entered the Potala Palace and met a great lama head-on.

Lamas have their own ranks, and Zhu Zhen doesn't bother to find out. After all, he has no intention of joining the religion, and in the future, Tibet will be subject to imperial control, and he no longer needs to rely on them to manage the place.

"Your Majesty, you are a rootless person. Please commit the crime of killing. You must know that God has the virtue of good life. If you don't accumulate virtue and do good, you may be killed," the great lama clasped his hands and warned Zhu Ming.

A rootless person?

Zhu Chu once met an old witch outside Yunlong County, in the village of the Juliwu clan. The old witch seemed to be able to order something, and she saw some of his secrets.

Zhu Chu was so frightened at that time that he had the old witch beheaded on the spot.

Now that I think about it, he actually overreacted. Isn't it good to keep one by his side to relieve his boredom?

(Old Witch: Are you polite?)

But later he also met Zhang Sanfeng, and it turned out that Zhang Sanfeng seemed to be able to pinch and calculate.

Zhu Zhen simply didn't bother to pay attention. Anyway, his wings were strong now, so he wouldn't be afraid even if Lao Zhu found out that he was a time traveler.

Because he was reincarnated, he was indeed Zhu Yuanzhang's biological son, not his soul.

So what's there to be afraid of?

So Zhu Ming ignored the great lama's warning at all.

But the great lama did not want to give up easily, and continued to say to Zhu Zhen: "Two dragons playing with a pearl, or five dragons in the same dynasty, it is related to your vital destiny. Don't you want to be the emperor?"

"Haha," Zhu Ming sneered on the spot: "This king is destined by fate. I want to be the emperor. Who in the world can stop me? Do you want me to make you the national teacher and your lama as the national religion? Really? Do you think I'm a fool? You idiots can only talk nonsense. If you are really capable, can I still attack this city?"

But the great lama said: "This is destiny."

Zhu Chu was so angry that he laughed, you are so shameless.

There is no history in history where I led my troops to break through Lhasa and occupy Uztangdusi. What kind of destiny is this? It’s bullshit.

Zhu Chu took out a big knife on the spot and asked the great lama: "How about this? If I chop you, if you die, it is destiny. If the knife breaks, it proves that you are not dead yet. If I chop you, But you are not dead, so I believe you are capable, how about that?"

The great lama said in his heart that I am not stupid, so of course I will not do it.

Fortunately, Gu Wen arrived with the original two hundred guards, and he gave up Zhu Zhen's idea of ​​killing this guy who was deceiving the public with his monstrous words.
