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

Chapter 420 Follow-up arrangements for the grassland
As the news of the grassland battle spread throughout the Central Plains, it also triggered a series of wars that broke out after Zhu Chu entered Tibet.

All the people in the Central Plains north and south of the Yangtze River realized that such a large-scale battle had broken out in a place they didn't know about.

Starting from Tibet, the number of troops on both sides participating in the war actually exceeded one million.

Not only did Zhu Ming successfully bring all Tibet into the Ming Dynasty, he also destroyed the army of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate in one fell swoop, and advanced to capture the entire territory of the Eastern Chagatai Khanate.

Zhu Ming then led part of the army to join the 500,000 troops prepared by the imperial court, as well as the Tatar troops he had conquered years and years ago. A total of one million troops fought a decisive battle on the grasslands with the Timurid Empire, Oara and Ulyankha.

After this battle, even the Timurid Empire, the Oara Grassland, and the Ulyanha Grassland completely became the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Mingsheng doubled the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

It has also accomplished many feats that have not been possible in previous dynasties or even for thousands of years.

Completely conquer the Mongolian grasslands, completely conquer the Western Regions, and completely conquer Tibet.

Even if it was as strong as the Hanwu period, it could only attack the Xiongnu Mobei royal court and still not be able to conquer it.

Even if it was as powerful as the Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, it only set up a protective palace in the Western Regions. In fact, it was no different from the restraint system implemented in the Ming Dynasty today.

Finally, Zhu Ming also asked people to erect a monument here, one to tell what happened here, to clarify the identities of the people buried here, and at the same time to warn the living not to disturb these dead people.

"It's a pity that His Highness doesn't like the title of God of War. Otherwise, the title of God of War of the Ming Dynasty must belong to His Highness." Li Gui still knows the character of His Highness, God of War of the Ming Dynasty? That's not a nice thing to say.

"One generation has fought the battle of several generations. But it still won a complete victory."

Let’s not mention the reactions from all parties in China.

The battlefield has been cleaned. The number of people who died in the Timurid Empire, Wala and Ulyanha alone is 600,000. Just digging holes to bury them has consumed hundreds of thousands of people's energy. It ended after a few days.

When an extremely huge deep pit was dug, even those veterans who had been on the battlefield and were good at fighting felt intimidated.

"If heaven had not given birth to the King of Dian, the Ming Dynasty would have been like a long night."

This is for those who have almost suffered from psychological shadow because they have witnessed so much murder with their own eyes.

Some people have even begun to sing among the people: "The merits of one life are the strength of thousands of years."

Zhu Zhen had already heard about Mahamu taking advantage of the chaos to kill his master and seize power. He knew that this man was also a tycoon and he must not leave any future troubles.

Otherwise, I'm afraid it won't be fully known to the people of the world. After all, it's not like we have a developed Internet in modern times. Who will pay attention to these things?

After gathering the surrendered troops, Zhu Zhen did not continue the killing spree, but only beheaded the new chiefs of Oara, Mahamu and Wuliangha.

Once the Central Plains dynasty is weak, they will show their fangs.

At the same time, Zhu Ming's words were also addressed to those surrendering troops.

At the same time, it can also be seen that there is a force secretly adding fuel to the flames, taking this opportunity to promote Zhu Zhen's reputation.

If anyone accidentally falls into it, they will die without knowing how.

As a normal person, after the war ended, I also felt a little uneasy about the heinous killings.

Also, because the Wuliangha Grassland is located in the north, in order to facilitate management, their original leader cannot be left behind.

Not to mention that Zhu Chu had already begun to set up schools in Yunnan, and had already secretly started work on the sinicization of various ethnic groups in Yunnan.

This is a war under my command. The king comes to order, the king comes to direct, and the king comes to carry the burden. It has nothing to do with you.

Zhu Zhen was also worried that if this battle left indelible psychological trauma, it would be great fun.

Moreover, Zhu Lun's power in China was a great achievement. He conquered foreign tribes and even sworn enemies that had troubled all dynasties in the Central Plains for countless years.

However, as Zhu Zhen conquered by force and promoted the return of native land to local people, he began to work comprehensively from political power to people's livelihood.

It was Zhu Chu who stood up and asked people to throw all the corpses in. After they were buried, he said: "It is impossible to kill evil people this time. I, Zhu Chu, is the eighteenth son of Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty. The King of Dian is also the holy khan of the grassland people and the great Bodhisattva king of the Tibetans. Today, on behalf of the Immortal Heaven, he is willing to resolve this karma."

At this moment, Zhu Chu is still on the grassland.

In a small courtyard in the capital, Li Gui muttered mysteriously: "Isn't it a bit too much?"

"From today on, Wala and Ulyanha will also be under my command. There will no longer be any distinction between them, and there will be no more wars. This sin of war can reunify the grasslands, and no one will be at fault."

This is a deep burial pit for the bones of 600,000 people. I am afraid it will take Mother Earth tens to hundreds of years to digest it.

Zhu Chu did not forcefully destroy the culture of various ethnic groups, but sinicization was also necessary.

It is conceivable that in time, not even a hundred years, everything from the grasslands to Xinjiang to Tibet will be Sinicized.

"If there are really ghosts and gods with strange powers and chaos in the world, if you dead souls are dissatisfied and want revenge, then come to me."

Saying these words at this time is telling the surrendering troops that you don't have to worry, this king will not continue to kill you, but you must also be self-aware.

"With one's own efforts, one can make lasting contributions."

Even if there are ghosts, let them come to me.

In other words, when the Central Plains is strong, those places will be obedient and obedient.

Shen Wang felt, "I feel that with His Highness's achievements, we cannot overestimate him."

It is said that it was not just a river of blood, it was a real mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

You must know that the troops here are almost all the elites of the Ming Dynasty. After this battle, they will make repeated military exploits in the future. They will be an important force for him to continue to expand his territory in the future.

For a time, Zhu Zhen's reputation and reputation completely resounded throughout the land of China, which was no less powerful than Guan Erye in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms novel.

They must not be left with PTSD here.

In addition to the enemy troops, Zhu Chu's troops also suffered losses.

The first is the Tatar grassland soldiers. The Arutai tribe sent 50,000 troops this time, including 10,000 strong men, plus 40,000 female soldiers. This time, the male soldiers suffered 1,000 casualties and the female soldiers lost 3,000.

In addition to the 20,000 horses led by Siqingaowa, there were 10,000 strong men and 10,000 female soldiers. The male soldiers suffered 1,000 casualties and the female soldiers suffered 2,000 casualties.

The Wuyuntana tribe sent 100,000 troops, 80,000 of whom were mature men, and 20,000 female prairie soldiers. The male soldiers suffered 10,000 casualties and the female soldiers suffered 5,000 casualties.

Badalkin had 30,000 men and 5,000 casualties.

Yadalali had 30,000 strong men, and suffered 3,000 casualties.

Batu did not spend 20,000 strong men and 10,000 female soldiers, but had a total of 30,000 horses. The male soldiers suffered casualties of 2,000 and the female soldiers lost 4,000.

The order is 50,000 female soldiers and 20,000 strong men, a total of 70,000 horses. The male soldiers will suffer 10,000 casualties and the female soldiers will lose 5,000.

Zheheng Aha had 30,000 strong men and 10,000 casualties.

Sanniangzi did not participate because she was young, but the tribe she led sent 20,000 strong men and suffered 10,000 casualties.

As for Danduoer, there were 20,000 female soldiers, with 10,000 casualties.

A total of 78,000 people were lost.

A huge price was paid.

However, their record was also remarkable. At the cost of 78,000 people, they wiped out a total of 200,000 people in Wala and Uliangha.

But these are not numbers, but human lives.

Zhu Ming said on the spot: "Record the life of every fallen soldier, not only to recover the title, but also to do a good job in providing pensions. If they have family members, they must be kind and generous. If they no longer have family members, then erect a monument for them. , erect monuments to record their achievements, and also let future generations know why they died and for whom they fought. They are my people of Zhu Chu, they are my people of Zhu Chu, both when they were alive and after death. .”

Zhu Zhen has said before that he must never do anything that makes a hero bleed and shed tears.

So the first thing he had to do was deal with the aftermath.

Rewards based on merit are secondary. We must not allow those who sacrificed to rest in peace even under the Nine Fountains.

Otherwise, the living people will also be chilled.

In addition to the grassland troops, the Han army also suffered heavy losses.

The first was the 200,000 troops brought by Zhu Chu. Among them, the 100,000 Naxi militiamen led by Mu Chu and Mu Tu were all infantry. They were left behind at the beginning of the war. Later, when they followed Song Sheng around to Timu By the time we reached the rear of the army, the war had basically come to an end.

Therefore, the losses of the Naxi people were not great, including the 50,000 troops of Zhu Zhen led by Song Sheng, and there were no casualties.

This was followed by the 15,000 Prince Guards commanded by Peng Yue who had originally been led from Xi'an, and the 50,000 cavalry force composed of 35,000 Zhuang wolf soldiers.

Since Peng Yue's troops followed Zhu Zhen in the charge, and the Zhuang wolf soldiers were fierce and fierce, not to mention the 15,000 soldiers, surprisingly not a single person was killed.

It can be said to be a great victory.

But when the army of 400,000 prepared by the court led by Feng Sheng and Fu Youde arrived, the damage could not be ignored.

First of all, this army originally numbered 500,000 people. Later, Zhu Chu temporarily transferred 100,000 people. 50,000 people were allocated to Niu Sheng. The remaining 50,000 people were originally going to be led by Mu Qiu, Xu Miaojin and Tang Xin. of.

But because many of them were infantry, Zhu Zhen had to add Niu Sheng's troops, and tens of thousands of others were left behind.

Especially Niu Sheng, a fool. He took off his shirt and armor, and led the charge shirtless, regardless of whether the people behind him could bear it or not. At the last count, his 50,000 men were reduced to less than 20,000.

It can be said to be a huge loss.

However, among all the generals and subordinates, Niu Sheng killed the most enemies and had the strongest impact, sharing a lot of pressure on other brothers in the army.

Feng Sheng's army suffered a loss of 50,000, and Fu Youde's army suffered a loss of 30,000.

A total of 110,000 casualties were suffered.

That's it, before the war begins, use the Hongyi cannon to bomb a few rounds, otherwise the damage will only be greater.

And in frontal combat, they killed 600,000 people.

This is a record worth being proud of.

But only Feng Sheng and Fu Youde knew that among the 600,000 people killed, 100,000 were killed by Zhu Zhen and his 50,000 horses.

After that, Zhu Zhen personally led his troops into the enemy's formation, turned into the sharpest spear, and pierced the enemy's throat.

Of these 600,000 casualties, I am afraid that more than 200,000 to 300,000 people were killed by Zhu Zhen's army.

Thinking about it this way would make several veterans feel ashamed.

I originally thought that they could be regarded as famous figures on the battlefield, but I didn't expect that the victory would be decided solely by His Highness's force.

Otherwise, how could a war of this scale be fought in one day?

It wasn't because Zhu Zhen had an idea and made a small plan. While using his powerful personal force to kill the enemy head-on and frighten the enemy, he also asked Song Sheng to lead people to take the retreat and behead Timur in one fell swoop. Only then did Timur finally let The imperial army surrendered. Then he used a large army to intimidate Wala and Uliangha, and then he won in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, if these hundreds of thousands of people run away like a fool, they will not be able to catch up.

Therefore, Zhu Zhen is the biggest contributor to this battle, not to mention he is the coach, and he is also the first to reward him for his merits.

But Zhu Zhen didn't care about these 'petty profits'. After all, with his status, he would either ascend the throne and become the emperor, or he would not be able to receive rewards.

When he becomes emperor, should I make myself a king? Do I reward myself?

outrageous.

So Zhu Zhen didn't care about himself at all. Instead, he led his people and walked among the various units, caring about the conditions of the soldiers. Even if they were the lowest-level soldiers, even if they were only slightly injured, he would still ask questions with concern. One or two.

If there are people who are lucky enough to survive, but are seriously injured, or even lose their arms and legs.

Zhu Zhen even promised that he would never give up on them, never let them down, and would ensure everyone's healing and their future lives.

Suddenly, the super barracks with a million people gathered, instead of being demoralized by the huge casualties after the war, the morale became even higher.

Even the accompanying veterans were moved to tears when they saw with their own eyes that Zhu Ming worked tirelessly and went to express condolences regardless of his own status. Seeing that he went to visit the soldiers without even having time to rest, they were all moved to tears.

This is the lord they should be loyal to.

As for His Highness the Grand Sun who only likes to hang out with civil servants and Confucian scholars?

He can't control it.

Let alone whether His Highness dares to go into battle to kill the enemy, let’s talk about the aftermath of the war. Can he do it?

In the end, even those troops who surrendered were personally visited by Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Zhen did not make it difficult for the surrendered troops. In addition to denying them the opportunity to wear armor and hold weapons, he also asked people to distribute food and grass to them on time and on time, and did not let them starve.

In Zhu Ming's words, on the battlefield, we each have our own position. It is understandable that each of us is his own master.

But now that you have surrendered and been defeated by us, it is different.

At the same time, Zhu Min did not let the Jiangjun become slaves, but promised to let them go home in the future and not settle scores later.

But one thing is that they are surrendered troops after all. From now on, they will no longer be the people of Wala and Ulyanha or the Timurid Empire. From now on, they will only have one identity, that is, the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, Zhu Zhen also understood that he would definitely not be able to make these people loyal to him and Daming immediately in a short period of time.

So while Zhu was asking the female prairie soldiers who had been brainwashed by him (not) to carry out ideological transformation work, he also began to consider the future arrangements for the various tribes in the prairie.

"Wuyuntana," Zhu Zhu called Wuyuntana over.

In the Chinese army's tent, Zhu Zhen was the only one at this time.

Although the war is over, there is still a lot of post-war work, including summoning the leaders of the other three Tatar tribes in the Hulunbuir Grassland.

The leaders of the three armies are also very arrogant. Such a big war has broken out here, and they are completely unaware of it?

Later, it was Tamerlane's 100,000-man army that was killed by Zhu Chu. Many of them ran away and only heard about it when they were caught, and hurriedly came to plead guilty.

Of course Zhu Chu didn't blame them, and he didn't summon them either.

They can only help take care of the wounded and help adjust supplies afterwards. These things they can still do.

"Holy Khan," Wuyuntana lowered her head with her hand on her chest to show respect.

After being severely scolded by Zhu Zhen that day, she finally stopped flirting with Zhu Zhen.

Zhu Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a serious face: "Now that the leaders of Wala and Wuliangha have been beheaded, there are still so many surrendered troops to put back. And it is impossible for this Khan to stay in the grassland forever. "

After all, he is the prince of the Central Plains Dynasty, so it is not a problem to always stay on the grassland.

What's more, the old man's health is unknown, and he has forgotten what year Zhu Yuanzhang died.

He will definitely go back to prepare for the next stage of seizing the throne.

So Zhu Ming asked Wuyuntana: "If I want you to go to Wuliangha to preside over important events, will you be willing?"

Wuyuntana sent 100,000 troops this time. Even if 15,000 were lost, there would still be 85,000 troops.

It was perfect to use her to suppress Wu Liangha.

"But where is my tribe?" Wuyuntana raised her eyes and looked at Zhu Zhen, with some resentment in her eyes.

Zhu Zhen was silent for a moment and said truthfully: "Always give Arutai some rewards."

Another advantage of transferring Wuyuntana is that the huge tribe can be directly transferred to Arutai.

Arutai was not only the first leader of the grassland tribe to follow Zhu Chu, but also the commander in chief of this battle. He fought bravely in the war and was not afraid of death, so he must be rewarded with something.

What's more, Wuyuntana is Batu Buhua's daughter, and the combined power of the two tribes cannot be underestimated.

"No wonder you didn't hesitate to get my body. It turns out there are countless ways to deal with me," Wuyuntana laughed miserably. This was what she had been worried about.

Now Zhu Chu is the only master on the grassland. He has wiped out the salary of all the tribal leaders. He can replace anyone at any time as long as he wants, because the people in the grassland only support him.

"You don't have to feel aggrieved. In Tatar, you were just the leader of one of the tribes, but in Uliangha, you are the biggest leader. Is there anything wrong with that?" Zhu Ming frowned, a little impatient.

If he hadn't been worried that sending a man to the far north would leave hidden dangers, after all, he knew the capriciousness of the prairie people.

Men are more ambitious than women.

Otherwise, Zhu Zhen wouldn’t have to talk nonsense to her.

"And there are other forces further north, and you will play an important role in the future. And you also know my methods. I want you to completely win over Wu Liangha within one year. Can you do it?" Zhu Ming was somewhat dissatisfied. asked in a humane manner.

Wuyuntana looked at Zhu Qi aggrievedly and said: "Since you have said so, what else can Wuyuntana say? I will obey the orders of the Holy Khan."

Then Zhu Chu called Dan Duoer over again.

"Dandu'er, are there no people in your tribe anymore?" Zhu Chu sighed.

The predecessor of the Danduer tribe was the Tengger Lige tribe. When Tengger Lige wanted to attack the Qiqige tribe for Guilichi, he was intercepted halfway and was killed by Zhu Lulue's subterfuge. .

What people didn't expect was that Gui Lichi turned out to be a human being after the incident. Instead, he plundered the Dandu'er tribe, which had suffered huge losses, and committed a lot of evil.

On the contrary, it was Zhu Zhen who did not liquidate the Dandu'er tribe, but rescued them, so that Dandu'er and the others, who were almost all the only women left, survived that winter.

This time Danduoer also responded to Zhu Xi's call and sent troops. Although there were only 20,000 female soldiers, this was all they had.

As a result, 10,000 female soldiers died.

Zhu Ming couldn't help but feel sad.

But Ci did not control the army, so Zhu Ji could only comfort her and said to her: "I am willing to let you take charge of Wala, are you willing?"

Dandu'er was stunned. She was Tengger Lige's mother, but she was actually not very old, otherwise she wouldn't have been harmed by Guilichi in the first place.

cough cough cough.

Danduoer became excited: "Does it mean that Holy Khan doesn't like Wuyuntana like that, but likes Lao Shen?"

"That's enough for you," Zhu Zhen almost lost his temper. Do you think there are two of you who always like to add drama?

By the way, don’t you prairie people want to do something else? Do you always like that thing about Xiasanlu?
Zhu Ming shook his head and said: "But it may be difficult for you to do it alone. How about letting Qiqige and Minmin help you."

In fact, Zhu Chu's intention is also very simple.

Under his command, the Tatars only had these few female leaders, except for Siqingaowa who could not be trusted and the third lady who was still too young.

He obviously planned to let the female leaders take charge of Wala and Uliangha, because women were less ambitious than men, and it was easier to go into every household to do ideological work.

So Zhu Chu asked someone to call Qiqige and Minminte over and told them that he planned to let them migrate to Oara with Danduoer.

Moreover, Qi Qige and Min Min knew better about Zhu Chu's ideological work and special methods of reforming his native land and returning to his hometown.

"Your mission is to make Wala completely submit to the Ming Dynasty within one year, so that they can truly recognize that they are the people of the Ming Dynasty and have a sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty."

"Let them know that before they were just slaves, the slave owners' livestock."

"Only by following our Ming Dynasty can they be human beings, have self-esteem, and have freedom."

Zhu Ming explained to the three women.

"Holy Khan, why are you in such a hurry? Are you planning to leave the grassland?" Min Minte was extremely sensitive and noticed that Zhu Chu was in a hurry to explain the 'future affairs'.

Zhu Ming nodded and did not hide his plan: "I am not just a general. Now I have laid so many foundations, and many things have to be coordinated. But I have no one available in the court, and I am worried that my father is old and fatuous. .If they introduce some sort of chieftain system or prison system for me, wouldn’t my fight be in vain?”

"Then what are we?" Min Minte asked.

"We are just tools, and Saint Khan is the man we can't get. He knows that we like him, so he bullies us as much as he wants," Wuyuntana leaned against the door with her arms folded at some point, with a look of resentment on her face. Look at Zhu Xi.

But in fact, she was already prepared and could rush to the Wuliangha grassland with the Wuliangha surrender troops at any time.

As for the people and property of her tribe, she will discuss it with Arutai later.

Zhu Ming rolled his eyes angrily, this woman was getting more and more presumptuous.

But Wuyuntana was right. The reason why Zhu Zhu believed them was because the system showed that Wuyuntana and Minmint were in a state of love and adoration for him, and they were even more loyal than ordinary people.

And Dandu'er's loyalty to his character is also extremely high, as is Alutai.

Zhu Zhen could not concentrate on staying in the grassland for the time being, so he could only choose them to help him.

"Stop talking nonsense, just do what you have to do, and you will be rewarded if you do it well," Zhu Zhen hurriedly started to drive people away.

Wuyuntana said faintly: "What's the prize? Why not give me a child so that I can have a foundation."

Zhu Ming was speechless. Was she taking the opportunity to threaten? When his face turns cold, he will be scolded.

Wuyuntana sighed, turned around and went out.

"Actually, it's not easy for her. Rather, it's not easy for us women. Alas," Dandu'er sighed. She is already old. Do you think she wants to go to the battlefield? Otherwise, how could her tribe continue?

Zhu Xinxin said, "Because of this, I can trust you. Otherwise, why do you think I give you so much power?"
All I can say is that politicians are all dirty.
