Chapter 361: Persuading Hobokseri to Surrender (Part )
It's snowing again in Hobokseri City. I can't remember how many times it has snowed this winter. There was a stove in the castle guard's mansion, and the temperature of the fire made the house warm as spring.

"Okay, okay! The Han people often say 'Auspicious snow heralds a good harvest'. Next year's rye and oat yields should increase a lot," Dalma said, stroking her beard and smiling. Batur Hutaiji attached great importance to agricultural production. Farmland was reclaimed near the city of Hoboksali, and frost-resistant rye and oat varieties were introduced from Tsarist Russia. As the local military and political chief, he naturally knows some knowledge about agricultural production. Because I had negotiated the surrender with the envoys of the Wei Kingdom, I felt a big stone in my heart, so I was interested in farming.

"Taiji, Kedun brought a few young Taiji to ask for an audience," his confidant Ha Lawen reported.

"Huh? Sister-in-law is here?" Dalma was a little at a loss. He did not discuss the surrender with his sister-in-law, so it was inevitable that he felt guilty.

"Taiji, this is a good opportunity. Do you want me to send someone to detain them?" Harawan showed a ferocious expression.

"No! My brother just died, how can I bully orphans and widows? Please invite them in, don't be rude." Dalma sighed.

Yumhagasi and his party walked into the living room of the city guard's mansion. Good fellow, there were more than ten people here. In addition to herself, there were seven other concubines of Batur Hutai Ji, and four young children. Sons: Sengge, Galdan, Wenchun, Dorji Zhabu, and five daughters.

"Kneel down for your fourth uncle," Yumhagas shouted, and everyone knelt down to Dalma. Only Sengge straightened his waist and refused to kneel.

"Son, be obedient. Kneel down before your fourth uncle and beg him to let us two live."

"Ehe, Eqi Ge often teaches children that they will be in charge of Junggar's horse whip in the future, and Junggar's Huitai Ji cannot be kneeled down."

Upon hearing this, Yumhagas burst into tears and fell like a kite with no strings. "You, Eqige, have already died in the battle, and the Junggar tribe is about to die. Why don't you kneel down and beg your fourth uncle for a way to live?" , After speaking, he pressed Seng Ge and knelt down.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? Please get up quickly, please get up quickly." Dalma panicked. Among the brothers of the Wolf King, he likes Chinese studies the most, and he especially believes in the Han culture of kings, kings, ministers, fathers, fathers, and sons. He also loves face and values ​​reputation. This time he surrendered to the guard without telling his sister-in-law and nephew, and felt that he was in the wrong. He was also particularly afraid that his tribe would say that he had bullied the orphans and widows left behind by his eldest brother, ruining the good reputation of benevolence and righteousness, so he was in a panic.

Seeing his helpless look, Yumhagas breathed a sigh of relief. His fourth brother had always been kind and a gentleman, so he seemed to have made the right move by pretending to be pitiful and begging for mercy!

She wiped her tears and sobbed: "I heard that the fourth brother was preparing to surrender without telling my mother and son. Now the military power is in the hands of the fourth brother. If you want to exchange the lives of my mother and son for glory and wealth, please take it." Go ahead."

"Oh, sister-in-law, you have misunderstood." Dalma sweated like rain. "The reason why I negotiated peace with the Wei army is to leave a way for the Junggar tribe to survive. His Majesty the Emperor Qianyuan of the Wei Kingdom was generous and kind. He once said, 'Oirat's The left wing is Junggar, bring our brothers back. Since we Junggar are regarded as Oirat brothers, there is no need to worry about surrendering to the guard. Your Majesty has promised to make me the second-class Eminhou and the third brother (referring to Chuhuer Ubas) as the third When Weilu Muhou and Sengge's nephew become the third-class Jimunaihou, the pastures, slaves, livestock and other private properties of each Taiji will still belong to themselves and will not be invaded. Sister-in-law, the main force of our army has been lost. David unified The momentum of Oirat has been established, you must not go against the trend, join us in surrendering the defense."

"My sister-in-law knows the painstaking efforts of the fourth brother, but your eldest brother left a message before he went on the expedition, 'If I die in the battle, I can lead my troops to move to the northeast to the Altay ancestral land, where there is the danger of the Altai Mountains and the peace of the Qing Dynasty. With the aid of the Khalkha Mongols, we must not surrender to the guards and hand over the inheritance of our ancestors to others.'" After saying this, Yumhagas took out the riding whip left by Batur Hutaiji, "I am just a woman. I don’t understand military affairs, so today I will tell you your brother’s message for your reference.” Seeing this riding whip, Dalma was in awe. Hutai Ji held this whip in his hands and fought on the battlefield through the generations, which is why the Junggar tribe is as glorious as it is today. But now that the situation is over, even if the eldest brother leaves his last words, he does not intend to risk the wealth and lives of the entire tribe.

"Sister-in-law, one moment is another. When my elder brother left the message, he didn't know that we would be defeated so miserably and that the main force of the army would be gone. Without the protection of the army, how could we gain a foothold in the Altai Mountains? How could we ensure that we would not be annexed by the Khalkhas? I As the guard of Hoboksali, I dare not risk the lives of the people in the city. I have made up my mind to surrender the guard, please fulfill it." After saying that, Dalma made a plop and knelt down to Yumhagas. Go down.

This kneeling made Yumhagasi understand that the fourth child was now determined to surrender and it was difficult to reverse.

"Ugh!"

After a long sigh, Yumhagasi cried: "My sister-in-law understands what my fourth brother means. Everyone has their own ambitions, so don't force it. Since you have made up your mind to surrender, I won't say more. I just ask you to die for the sake of it." For the sake of my eldest brother, open the city gate and let my mother and son go to Altay." After saying that, he pulled everyone to pray again, crying, how pitiful!
"This~" Dalma hesitated. Agree, for fear that His Majesty the Emperor of David will be displeased; don't agree, for fear that others will say that you betrayed your master for glory and bullied orphans and widowed mothers.

"Taiji," Harawen approached and whispered in his ear, "Zhoriktu and Shuoqi gathered their troops and stationed them outside the city guard's mansion.

Dalma understood that her sister-in-law spoke pitifully, cried and knelt down, but in fact she was not unprepared, and she still had backup plans. It seems that if we don't agree today, civil war will break out in Junggar and the city of Hoboksali will inevitably become a river of blood. Come on, come on, come on, since they want to escape, let them escape.

"Since my sister-in-law and nephew are unwilling to surrender, please leave the city through the north gate," he finally agreed.

"Thank you, fourth brother, for being open-minded." Yumhagas breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, Uncle Fourth, for being open-minded." Xiao Sengge also expressed his thanks.

After all, Sengge is the legitimate Hutaiji of the Junggar tribe. He wants to flee north, and there are still many people who voluntarily follow him. In addition to the hundreds of personal guards in Hutaiji's mansion, Zhuolitu and Shuoqi's thousand subordinates, there are also More than ten thousand subjects followed voluntarily. Yumhagas selected more than a thousand guards from among the subjects, gathered three thousand soldiers and horses, and fled towards Altay in panic like a lost dog.

"Taiji is kind and merciful, and let Ke Dun and Xiaohun Taiji go. But what should we do if the guard master becomes angry?" Harawan asked Dalma, "Since you can't take action, why not send troops by your slaves?" How about chasing them back and pretending that you don't know about it?"

"No! I have promised to let them go, so how can I go back on my word?" Dalma sighed, "I did all this. If His Majesty the Emperor is angry, let him punish me alone."
