Daming: Refining zombies at the beginning, Lao Zhu was shocked

Chapter 305 Chapter 305: The remnants of Mobei returned to Zhu Xifeng, and Zhu Gaoxu was depressed!
Mahamu and the Mobei tribe under his command were broken down into seven tribes.

And these seven tribes were all the core members of the Oara tribe, and they were once prominent on the Mobei grassland!
Now these seven tribes combined have only more than 60,000 people with their families. In fact, there are only more than 26,000 young people who can draw a bow on horseback!

Su Rile, the leader of the Labashu tribe, was once considered an old subordinate of Mahamu. The former commander-in-chief asked him to do this small favor, and Su Rile was willing to mediate!

More than a month later, Zhu Xifeng, who had already arrived outside Damascus, heard the news reported by Su Rile in the camp!
It is said that Mahamu is willing to lead the seven tribes under his control to join him!
"Haha... This Mahamu has reached the point of desperation, and now he thinks of surrendering to me!"

"Are you going to be a lobbyist for the former big leader today?"

After Zhu Xifeng listened to Su Rile's report, he stared at him with a half-smile and asked.

"His Royal Highness the Wind King, you are at the moment when you are employing people. If Mahamu can lead his seven tribes to join him, it will be a great help to you!"

"Su Rile's loyalty to you is evident from time to time. Please trust me, Your Highness, King Feng!"

Su Rile's expression changed slightly, and he quickly explained!

It's okay to plead for Hamamu, but if he offends the Wind King and arouses the Wind King's suspicion, then he really won't be able to find a place to cry!
"Don't be nervous. I am not doubting you. I have also seen your performance during this period!"

"What you just said is not bad. There are at least 20,000 men under Mahamu's command who can fight. It would indeed be a good thing if you can join this king's command!"

When Zhu Xifeng saw Su Rile looking so nervous, he immediately laughed and comforted him.

He didn't doubt Su Rile's original intention of working as a lobbyist for Mahamu, and even Su Rile didn't have the guts to have any evil intentions!
However, proper beating is still necessary. This is the way to control your subordinates. Only by making them fear you will they not dare to betray you!
If you, as a leader, are easy to talk to, you will gradually lose the deterrence you should have among your subordinates!

"His Royal Highness the Wind King said so!"

"Then how do you think Mahamu should respond?"

Su Rile wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and asked cautiously.

Facing this young Wind King of the Ming Dynasty, Su Rile only felt that Alexander was a ruthless man. He was definitely a terrifying existence, and his methods were endless!
"What are their demands?"

Zhu Xifeng was silent for a moment and then asked.

"Their request is to return to the Mobei Grassland. If His Highness Feng Wang is willing to accept them, then they are also willing to pick up a scimitar and fight for His Highness Feng Wang!"

"They hope that after returning to the Mobei Grassland, His Highness the Wind King can give their tribe the protection they deserve and allow them to have the same grazing rights as other grassland tribes!"

Su Rile then relayed Mahamu's request directly to Zhu Xifeng.

"No problem, I can satisfy what they want!"

"But the ugly words are ahead. I can accept and protect their clansmen and their families, but they must also abide by the new laws set by me!"

"Since you have surrendered to this king, everything must be in accordance with my rules!"

"In addition to giving them the right to graze, the king can also give them a piece of pasture in the Hotes Plains. There are rivers and fertile grass there. It is much better than them living in exile outside!"

Zhu Xifeng nodded slowly and said.

"Su Rile would like to thank His Highness the Wind King for the gift on behalf of Mahamu!"

When Su Rile heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly knelt down on one knee and said gratefully to Zhu Xifeng.

"Don't be too busy thanking me. The benefits I give them are conditional!"

"Didn't they say they were willing to pick up a scimitar and go to war for me?"

"Then in this battle of Damascus, let Mahamu and his men be the vanguard!"

Zhu Xifeng, however, waved his hand and ordered in an unquestionable tone.

"This is what it should be. Su Rile will convey your request to Mahamu right away. I believe he will not refuse the opportunity to make achievements under the command of Feng King!"

Su Rile nodded in agreement matter-of-factly.

"Very good, go down!"

"When Mahamu arrives, you can bring him to see me!"

Zhu Xifeng nodded with satisfaction and ordered.

After Su Rile heard this, he withdrew from Zhu Xifeng's tent after thanking him profusely.

……

The city of Samarkand.

It has been more than half a month since Zhu Gaoxu arrived here. Not to mention him and the three thousand cavalry who came first, even the subsequent large forces have also arrived one after another!
However, what makes Zhu Gaoxu depressed is that just when he was about to show off his talents here and find out those remnants of Mobei, he found that these guys had disappeared long ago!
"What did you say? They all ran away?"

After Zhu Gaoxu heard the news reported by the scouts, he felt bad!

Originally, he was thinking of making great achievements, but after arriving in Samarkand City, before even a single battle was fought, all the remnants of Mobei escaped!

"Do these Mobei Tatars have this little courage left now? Or are they already frightened by the Wind King?"

One can imagine Zhu Gaoxu's inner depression. When he was guarding the firearms supervision warehouse in Shuntian Mansion, he had already been frustrated!
Unexpectedly, when we arrived at the city of Samarkand, we would end up having to defend the city!

I originally thought I could kill someone happily on the battlefield, but this is what happened?
If he wanted to be salty, he would rather stay in Shuntian Mansion. At least it would be prosperous enough and it would not hinder his enjoyment of life!
In this ungrateful place in the west, who would be willing to come if it wasn’t for the purpose of making contributions?

It's better now, the enemies have all run away, and you can't find an opponent if you want to fight!
Just guarding this city, how can we talk about making achievements?
This was not defeated by him, Zhu Gaoxu!
"These remnants of Mobei seem to have seen that something is wrong, so they all took refuge in Prince Feng's Highness!"

After hearing Zhu Gaoxu's complaint, the scout quickly added.

Zhu Gaoxu: "..."

What is this?
Do you look down on him, Zhu Gaoxu?

Even if they wanted to surrender, no one would come to Zhu Gaoxu. Instead, they would rather go far away than the near and go to Zhu Xifeng?

But when he thought that it was Zhu Xifeng who they went to seek refuge with, Zhu Gaoxu lost his temper.

Who is Zhu Xifeng?
That was a fierce man who wiped out Mobei within three years and made the Oara and Tatars run away with their heads covered!
Although Zhu Gaoxu thinks very highly of himself, he is not so arrogant that he really doesn’t know the heights of the world!

He knew that there was no comparison between him and Zhu Xia Feng. Even if these remnants of Mobei wanted to take refuge, they would definitely choose the stronger Zhu Xia Feng.

And taking refuge in Zhu Xifeng means that they can return to the Mobei grassland!

After thinking about this, Zhu Gaoxu was immediately discouraged!
If I had known this, I shouldn't have done this chore!

I really have been fooled by Zhu Xiaqiu!
He discovered that the sons of Ninth Uncle Zhu Li were really more ruthless than the others when it came to scheming!
He suspected that Zhu Xiaqiu had known this result for a long time, just to trick him into coming to Samarkand!
"Your Highness, although all the remnants of Mobei have fled, there are still many dispersed Tatars in the Timur Khanate who are still active in the territory!"

"Why don't we change the target and have the same effect?" As if he could see Zhu Gaoxu's depression, a general immediately reminded Zhu Gaoxu.

"How much benefit can be gained from dealing with these defeated soldiers?"

"That's all, send someone immediately to dig out all these Tartars who are still struggling."

"If there is a big fish, I will go there myself!"

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand disapprovingly. It was obvious that these stragglers in the Timur Khanate were no longer of much interest to him!
……

Zhu Xifeng didn't know that he had unintentionally made Zhu Gaoxu depressed!
But even if he knew, he wouldn't take it seriously.

Not long after, Mahamu, who had received a clear reply, led all the capable young men under his command to Zhu Xifeng's camp.

Zhu Xifeng originally brought only 50,000 cavalry south, but now with the addition of more than 20,000 people from Mahamu, the number has reached more than 70,000!
For Zhu Xifeng, this was indeed an added advantage.

"Mahamu, I didn't expect that after so many years of fighting, you would finally submit to my king!"

"If I had known this, why did I have to fight to the death?"

Zhu Xifeng also said with emotion after seeing Mahamu.

"But they are all fighting for their own beliefs!"

"I, Mahamu, admire the strong. To be honest, I am not as good as you. This is why I led my subordinates to come to you!"

Hamamu said slowly.

"Haha...it's not easy to hear such words from your mouth!"

"But how did I hear that you were frightened by the reinforcements sent to Samarkand by the Ming Dynasty, so you came to seek refuge with me when you were desperate?"

Seeing that his old rival was still speaking harshly in front of him, Zhu Xifeng started teasing him with a half-smile!
Hearing this, Mahamu's old face turned red instantly!

You don’t slap people in the face when you hit them, you don’t expose their shortcomings when you scold them!

Zhu Xifeng exposed his face as soon as he opened his mouth. Can he still have fun in the future?

"His Royal Highness Feng Wang really knows how to joke!"

"Don't you Han people always say that those who understand current affairs are heroes?"

"After fighting for so many years, what's the point of me, Mahamu, being a hero once?"

"You don't have to try to bully me with those words. Since I have come to surrender, I will definitely not have any intention of rebellion. I just hope you can remember the promise you made!"

Mahamu's face turned pale and blue and he struggled for a long time. Finally, he took a deep breath and reminded Zhu Xifeng slowly.

"Don't worry, what I say will always be spoken in spades and will never be changed!"

"You can ask around on the grassland. I, Zhu Xifeng, definitely have the highest commitment!"

"As long as you sincerely surrender to me, I will ensure that your clan and family members can enjoy the treatment they deserve!"

Zhu Xifeng nodded seriously.

"Mahamu thanks His Highness the Wind King!"

After receiving Zhu Xifeng's personal assurance in person, Mahamu knelt down on one knee, completely expressing his surrender!

"Get up!"

"In this next battle, I plan to see the strength of you and your subordinates first. Is it okay?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you die. If you are the vanguard, I will ask others to help you and support you when necessary!"

"And I allow you to keep half of the wealth gained after taking Damascus!"

Zhu Xifeng waved his hand, and then directly stated his next arrangement.

"No problem at all!"

"We, the prairie men, may not be strong enough to fight against the Ming Dynasty's army today, but we are still more than enough to deal with these Western barbarians!"

When Mahamu heard this, he immediately patted his chest and agreed.

Genghis Khan's army in the Western Expedition could reach here, so what did Mahamu have to fear?
"very good!"

"In that case, I will wait to see your performance!"

"If you can succeed in this siege, I will certainly not treat you badly!"

"I will not take the grievances and disputes in the past to heart. I also hope that you can put aside the past grudges and work for me sincerely!"

Zhu Xifeng heard this and nodded with great satisfaction.

"Mahamu is willing to be loyal to His Highness the Wind King!"

Mahamu hurriedly knelt down on one knee again to express his attitude.

……

Just when Zhu Xifeng was planning to let Mahamu take the lead in attacking the city, on the other side, Lan Yu had already led 10,000 cavalry to attack the city and swept across the coastline on the Red Sea side!

Zheng He also led the fleet directly into the Red Sea and into the hinterland of the Ottoman Empire!

The whole process took less than two months, and Lan Yu had already led an army of 50,000 to the south of Damascus!
It is equivalent to encircling Damascus from north to south with Zhu Xifeng's side!
The combined total strength of the two sides already exceeds 100,000!

Coupled with the sharp firearms and equipment in the hands of the Ming Dynasty soldiers, if they really wanted to fight, dealing with these Western barbarians would be like chopping melons and vegetables. There would be no suspense at all!
This group of people from the Western Holy See were completely anxious. They did not expect that the Ming Dynasty would attack Damascus so easily and directly surround them!

With Damascus currently only having tens of thousands of troops, it is simply wishful thinking to defend the city!

Especially since the Ming fleet also transported artillery, it is estimated that a few cannons can directly knock down their city wall!

Breaking the city is a matter of time!

Sure enough, with the cooperation of Zhu Xifeng and Lan Yu, it took only three days to completely capture the entire Damascus!
At this time, Zhu Xiaqian led a vanguard cavalry to belatedly arrive outside Damascus!
