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

Chapter 418 Sweeping the grassland in one fell swoop

Timur died, and as the commander's flag was cut down, the battlefield gradually calmed down.

By this time, Timur's imperial army had fewer than 400,000 soldiers.

In fact, before Zhu Chu joined the battlefield, Timur's empire only lost tens of thousands of people. After Zhu Chu joined, he first killed 100,000 people, and then rushed into a deserted land and killed more than 100,000 people.

The Timur Empire's 750,000-strong army lost at least close to 400,000, leaving only over 300,000.

After Timur died in battle, these people looked around blankly, only to find that they were surrounded by Ming troops at some point?
It turned out that Zhu Zhen led the more than 200,000 troops of Peng Yue and Fu Youde behind him, and had actually rushed to the rear of Timur's army. Even if Mu Sheng did not come out, he would have penetrated the enemy's formation.

"If we don't surrender now, when will we wait? Do you really want to die?" Feng Sheng also shouted.

Fu Youde followed Zhu Chu to charge, but all the frontal pressure was put on him.

Feng Sheng glared at Fu Youde from afar, "Old man, you are very bad."

Feng Sheng and Fu Youde are already veterans, as well as Guo Ying. After this fight, the three veterans are almost exhausted.

As a result, Mahamu couldn't help but widen his eyes.

In fact, in history, after Zhu Zhen was renamed Yunnan, he had many conflicts with the Mu family, especially with this brat Mu Sheng.

But suddenly, the sound coming from the other side made Mahamu turn around subconsciously.

There is also Arutai, who has been shouting in the army: "Ugeqi Hashiha, come out and die."

But what puzzles Mahamu is that all Tatars are not afraid of death?

Moreover, Mu Sheng was really arrogant and arrogant. When Zhu Chun first entered Kunming, he and his brothers hid behind him, secretly dissatisfied with Zhu Chun, the young prince.

Good guy, you are so direct.

"Isn't this asking for credit from you?" Mu Sheng said sincerely, "Now I can also be a commander, right?"

Mu Sheng said with a smile: "Uncle Wang will certainly not tolerate me."

It's just that Mu Sheng is completely convinced by Zhu Zhen now.

This is a long overdue, hearty battle.

If Mu Ying had not taken the initiative to show her goodwill, Zhu Zhen would have had friction or even a fight with Mu Mansion as soon as he entered Yunnan.

How did Lan Yu die?

In terms of military strength, Mahamu, who has now replaced Ugeqi Hashiha as the big leader, still has more than 500,000 troops.

Such an earth-shattering momentum immediately shocked the battlefield on the other side.

Zhu Ming didn't have time to count his losses, leaving Feng Sheng's troops to collect the surrendering troops. He turned to Fu Youde and the generals around him and shouted: "All the soldiers obeyed the order and rushed to Oala in one fell swoop."

As a result, he saw that both Wang Fu and Zhao Kuo had become commanders of the capital. With their achievements this time, they should be able to get promotions and salary increases, right?
"You," Zhu Ming said in a funny and angry tone, "control your temper, that is, I am your uncle, if it were anyone else, wouldn't it be suspected of being arrogant and arrogant?"

There is a civil war between the three major forces in the Mongolian grassland.

Logically speaking, Mahamu should be able to fight with Alutai on his back.

Wu Liangha said in his heart, shall I leave?

Fu Youde, Guo Ying, Ping'an, Peng Yue, Niu Sheng, Song Sheng, Mu Chu, Mu Tu and other soldiers all shouted in unison: "Kill."

Mahamu wanted to shout angrily, Uge Qiha Shiha is dead, now is my era, Mahamu, Wala has changed.

The fact that Zhu Xun can always be so at ease shows his trust in the Mu brothers.

Especially those women, don’t women take care of their children at home? Even if prairie women have gone to the battlefield before, they have always delivered things and supplies to the front line. It is their men who actually go to the battlefield to kill the enemy.

But no matter how arrogant Mu Sheng was, he was still impressed by Zhu Chu's ability and charisma.

This is also the relationship that Mu Ying worked hard to establish. Otherwise, why do you think Zhu Yuanzhang sent Zhu Chu to Yunnan?

Mu Sheng is the second son of Mu Ying. It is not his turn to inherit the title of Marquis of Xiping, and he is taking over the position of his brother Mu Chun. At first, he was not even considered a commander of the guards, but he was later awarded the title based on his merits. A guard commander was appointed.

As His Majesty grew older and became more suspicious, they gradually lost their military power and could only train troops but not command them.

Why do these women come to fight too? Aren't they afraid of death?

Zhu Chu only had Wala in his eyes.

"Okay, stop playing tricks. The war is not over yet," Zhu Zhen said, turning to look to the other side.

Until Mu Sheng carried Timur's body to Zhu Chu and showed his courtesy: "Your Highness, you are fortunate to have lived up to your command."

Otherwise, how could he be allowed to lead Zhu Chu's pro-army?

With Timur's death in battle, Timur's army still dared to resist and put down their weapons one after another and chose to surrender.

But it’s also very enjoyable. How many years has it been? They never had such a good fight.

Why?

Now that Mu Chun was the Marquis of Xiping, it could be said that he single-handedly controlled Yunnan, coupled with the military strength in Mu Sheng's hands.

Arutai only has 400,000 troops in his hands, and a large part of them are even composed of female soldiers.

In a daze, several veterans seemed to regard Zhu Chu as the current majesty.

Zhu Zhen scolded angrily: "Why did you give me the corpse of an old man?"

The Tatars used their own strength to fight against the coalition forces of Pinvala and Ulyanha, but they did not lose.

What he saw was the scene of Zhu Zhen leading hundreds of thousands of troops rushing towards this side.

"Timur actually lost?" Mahamu couldn't believe it.

That was Timur's. Not only did his military strength far exceed that of Wala, but even the forces assembled by Wala and Ulliangha could not stop them. They once chased them all over the grassland and even ran to Hulunbuir.

Unexpectedly, the mighty Timur was defeated at the hands of the Ming army?
"Who is this army led by? Why is it so powerful?" Mahamu shouted.

"That's our Holy Khan," Arutai shouted, shouting to Mahamu from a distance: "Ugqi Hashha, come and die quickly."

"I'm not Ugqi Hashiha, I'm Mahamu," Mahamu finally got angry and felt like he was about to burst.

How old is Ugqi Hashihadu? Do you think I look like that old man?

Co-author You've been fighting with me for so long and you don't even know who I am?

Not to mention, Arutai has never met Uge Qiha Shiha, mainly because he is not qualified.

Ugqiha Shiha's status in Wala is compared with Guilichi's status in Tatar.

In addition, there is a bad relationship between Oara and Tatar. How can Arutai know what Ugqiha Shiha is like.

Not to mention Mahamu, I don’t know him at all.

"It doesn't matter who you are, just suffer death," Arutai shouted, no matter if he was Ugqi Hashha. Seeing that the victory has been decided on the Holy Khan's side, he must seize the time to make a great contribution.

Otherwise, the credit will be lost.

So under the leadership of Arutai, the Tatar army unexpectedly burst out with stronger fighting spirit.

Mahamu had the opposite feeling. His face was ashen, but he still didn't understand that his situation was over.

"Big leader, what should we do now? The Ming army has already surrounded us. Think of a countermeasure quickly." The leaders of the three Uliangha tribes found Mahamu. If they continue, they will be dumped and can only wait to die. .

"What other countermeasures are there? Even Timur has been defeated. Even if we want to run away, where can we run? Is it possible that you want to join the Jinren?" Mahamu sighed bitterly.

They came towards Hulunbuir. If they continued to move forward, they would only fall into the trap of the Tatar encirclement.

The direction they came from was also blocked by Zhu Zhen's army.

If you want to run at this time, there is only one direction, and that is to go around the Jurchens' territory.

Today's Jurchens are divided into mature Jurchens and raw Jurchens.

It doesn’t mean raw or cooked literally. You can’t overcook the Jurchens.

During the Five Dynasties, the Khitan took all the Bohai Sea, while Heishui Mohe was attached to the Khitan. Those in the south were born in Khitan and were called Mature Jurchen; those in the north were not born in Khitan and were called Sheng Jurchen.

In current terms, the Duoyan Three Guards, that is, the Jurchen tribes led by the seventeenth brother Zhu Quan, are mature Jurchens, surrendered and attached to the Ming Dynasty, and are part of the vassals of the Ming Dynasty.

In addition to the 80,000 soldiers of Duoyan Sanwei, there are also three major Jurchen tribes, namely Jianzhou Jurchen, Xihai Jurchen and Donghai Jurchen (also known as Savage Jurchen).

With the hatred between the Mongols and the Jurchens, how could they possibly seek refuge with the Jurchens?

Instead of doing this, it would be better to surrender on the spot. No matter how you say it, the Tatars, Oara and Ulyankha all share the same origin.

It doesn't matter if they fight themselves to death, but they will never be conquered by the Jurchens.

So Mahamu couldn't help but said: "Surrender, we are doomed." "Why is this," the leader of the three Ulyanha tribes sighed.

Originally, this disaster had nothing to do with them, but they had been forced onto the pirate ship and tied up with Wala.

Now that they are implicated, once they surrender, they will immediately become slaves.

Where can I go to reason with you?

But there is no way, the situation is over, and if you continue to resist stubbornly, you will only be massacred.

Finally Mahamu gave the order to surrender.

So when Zhu Zhen led the army to arrive, he found that the war was already over?

"Is this the end?" Niu Sheng licked the corner of his mouth. He looked both tough and ferocious with his bare arms and carrying a large sword.

"You haven't had enough?" Zhu Ji glared at this fool.

This is a battlefield of two million people, and this battle does not seem to last long. In fact, it lasted from morning to evening, and now the sun is going down.

After such a fierce battle, there were no less than hundreds of thousands of casualties.

Maybe even closer to a million people.

There were three forces in this battle, divided into the Ming forces led by Zhu Chu, 500,000 troops sent by the imperial court, 400,000 Mongolian troops, and 200,000 troops brought by Zhu Chu from Yunnan, for a total of 1.1 million people .

Then came Timur's army, which initially numbered 800,000 people. After the battle with Oara and Ulyanha, it later numbered 750,000 people.

Then there is the alliance army of Wala and Ulyanha led by Mahamu, totaling 520,000.

The total number of troops invested in this war has reached 2.37 million.

Although the post-war statistics have not yet been completed, Zhu Zhen alone checked from the system that the force value obtained in this battle was already as high as 600,000.

In other words, Zhu Chu's forces killed a full 600,000 people.

Timur's army lost more than 400,000 people, leaving only 350,000 people.

As for the troops led by Mahamu, Wala lost 80,000 people and Wuliangha lost 120,000 people.

Wu Liangha originally had only 220,000 troops, but this time he lost more than half, leaving only 100,000 troops.

(As mentioned before, in order to escape from the battle with Timur, those who were responsible for the death were Ugqi Hashha's tribal troops.)
There are only 200,000 people left in Wala.

It is foreseeable that Oara and Ulyanha will be completely destroyed, and Tatar will rise strongly.

Needless to say, with the death of Timur and the surrender of Mahamu, both armies laid down their weapons and surrendered completely.

As for collecting the surrendered troops, cleaning the battlefield, and counting casualties after the war, it is naturally not Zhu Zhen's responsibility to worry about.

The men found a clean open space and set up a large tent.

Zhu Zhen and a group of Han and Mongolian generals were sitting in the tent.

I saw that everyone, including Zhu Zhen, was covered in blood.

But these all belong to the enemy. What is so commendable is that none of the generals under Zhu Chu were injured or killed?
At most, there are only some minor injuries, which are nothing to worry about.

Especially Zhu's family of four, it was a bloody battle. Their bodies were covered with the blood of the slain enemies, which has now dried up and formed scars.

Zhu Ming didn't care either.

The three women's faces were full of disgust. They had no time to pay attention to this stench on the battlefield before, but now when they smell it, the smell is so sour.

Especially not far away is the battlefield where two million people have turned into a meat grinding ground. Even the breeze turns dirty.

"In this battle, all the officers and soldiers worked hard and made great contributions. It can be said that they have made great contributions," Zhu Zhen praised without hesitation, and later couldn't help laughing proudly.

In addition to the Mongolian leaders, the Han generals also became excited.

They could understand why Zhu Xi was so excited, and why weren't they themselves extremely excited?
"Your Highness, this is the work of a thousand years. From today on, the Mongolian grassland is the territory of our Ming Dynasty. This is a feat that has never been accomplished by any dynasty, but it was completed in your hands. From now on, the reputation of Your Highness will be sung throughout the world. Fu Youde said excitedly, holding his hands.

Feng Sheng also said: "We are fortunate to be honored by His Highness, and we will be able to leave our names in history in the future. This is a great merit."

Yes, after this battle, the Mongolian grassland completely became the territory of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Who dares to say that the grassland is just a system of restraint?

In fact, historically, during the period of the split between Tatar and Oara, the Mongolian grasslands, whether Arutai, Guilichi or Mahamu, all paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty.

Especially Wu Liangha, the original three guards of Duoyan were the three of them.

It was only later that Wu Liangha broke away from the Ming Dynasty and returned to the embrace of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and then the three Jurchens were set as the Three Guards of Duoyan.

Therefore, the Mongolian grassland also surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

But they kept repeating, paying tribute today and rebelling tomorrow. It was really difficult to be considered a Ming Dynasty territory.

Not to mention the Tumubao Revolution and the Gengxu Revolution.

The Tumubao Incident was a military operation led by Ye Xian against the Ming Dynasty, and he successfully abducted the Ming Dynasty God of War Zhu Qizhen.

The Gengxu Incident was a military operation by the Tatars led by Anda Khan against the Ming Dynasty. They burned, killed, and looted before leaving.

Therefore, it has been difficult to completely conquer the nomads on the grasslands since ancient times.

But today is different from the past. With the reputation of the Holy Khan, Zhu Zhen completely wiped out the entire grassland. Not only the Tatars were convinced, but Nawala and Wuliangha would no longer have a chance to rise.

Zhu Zhen couldn't give them a chance.

"There are only hundreds of thousands of soldiers from Holy Khan, Navarre and Ulyankha, as well as Timur's surrender. How about using a wheel beheading?" Someone among the Tatar leaders suggested.

Zhu Zheng was speechless. He didn't even expect it, but they came to remind him.

As the name suggests, as long as the man is taller than the wheel, he will be beheaded.

It can be described as extremely cruel.

But Zhu Zhen said angrily: "Kill, kill, kill, just kill. Do you want to put the wheels sideways?"

Place it sideways?
Everyone was speechless.

What you are doing is more severe than the wheel chop. The wheel chop should be higher than the standing wheel before killing the head. How about you put the wheel sideways? Everyone except the tadpole will die.

Even a baby standing up is taller than a horizontal wheel.

"Or kill them? One out of ten people, two out of ten?"

It means selecting one or two people from ten people to kill.

The main reason is that there are too many people in this group of surrendered troops. The Tatar leaders are worried that they will not be able to eradicate them all, and the spring breeze will bring new growth.

After finally winning the battle, if we let them go back like this, who can guarantee that Wala and Wu Liangha will not take revenge afterward?

Therefore, it was the Tatar leaders who wanted to kill Oara and Ulyanha.

Zhu Zhen and the Ming army will definitely not stay on the grassland forever. What will we do if you leave?
But Zhu Ming still shook his head and said: "Remember that your tribes were enemies of my king and were at odds with each other years ago. But now, aren't they all working well under my king? And my king's methods You all know it too."

What he is talking about is the alternative kind of reform that was implemented on the grassland.

"I have great ambitions. Is the Mongolian grassland enough? To tell you the truth, at this very moment, the Eastern Chagatai Khanate and Timur Empire have become indivisible territories of our Ming Dynasty. Not to mention Talk about hiding place."

After all, Zhu Zhen had a system, so he could clearly know that when the unprecedented war broke out here, Wang Fu and others who stayed in Xinjiang on the other side had successfully conquered southern and northern Xinjiang, and the entire Xinjiang had been recovered. .

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Especially the Han generals looked at Zhu Zhen with excitement and admiration.

Even the veteran generals were impressed by Zhu Xi's monstrous military exploits, not to mention the younger generation of generals like Mu Sheng. Even if they knew what happened along the way, they still admired him deeply.

"Don't worry, there will be wars in the future and we need to rely on the generals. The world is so big, and our Ming Dynasty is not yet complacent and self-proclaimed, nor is it time to let our horses go to Nanshan."

"However, there is so much land, but the population is far from keeping up. So the most precious resource today is neither cattle and sheep, nor grain, nor gold and silver. It is people."

Zhu Chu has matured, and no longer shouts that once you betray him, he will never be used again, and he no longer shouts that if he doesn't accept surrender, he will kill you all.

Now he has a deep understanding that population is the most precious resource when the entire Ming Dynasty only has a population of tens of millions, which may be equivalent to over 100 million.

Otherwise, who would plant so much land?
Who will do so many things?
So Zhu Zhen already had his own calculations.

But before that, he had to send a good news to the court and his father, Emperor Hongwu.

It is conceivable that the court will become lively again.
