Chapter 326: The Plateau Country Retreats

The Qiang people were scared away by the bomb, which made the Han artillery very depressed. They also planned to slowly widen the gap again, and also smashed the iron ball on the head of the Qiang soldiers by the way.

"Is the military seat chasing?" The cavalry division commander asked excitedly!

Thinking of the lord's explanation, Lin Jiading shook his head: "Forget it, the Qiang and Han people are all diverted from the ancient mouth of the Yellow River!" There's no need to be serious! ”

After speaking, Lin Jiading turned around and said, "Let the commander of the first division lead the troops to take over Xiningwei." ”

"It's a military seat." The herald immediately rode away.

After Li Dingguo saw the Qiang soldiers at the head of the city fleeing, he also laughed. After the loss of Xining Xiongguan, the small pass of the plateau country could no longer stop the pace of the Han army.

With the Qiang fleeing, the Battle of Xining ended completely. Next, we will wait for the reaction of the Kingdom of God, and the Han army will decide whether to send troops or negotiate peace.

Ministry of Tumut.

More than 200,000 Qiang people fled for their lives to higher places, but the Tumut tribe did not know where else they could flee.

"Altan Khan, after Xining was breached, the 150,000 Qiang army stopped in the area of Yushu City on the south bank of the Tongtian River."

Heshuo Khan also immediately made a bitter face: "Is this plateau country enduring to lose!" There are only more than 100,000 Han troops, what are they afraid of! ”

Tru also shook his head and said: "Altan Khan, all the departments of the Qiang people in Qinghai have contacted and negotiated with the Han army!" It is estimated that the plateau country has given up Qinghai! ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Han army will definitely send troops to the Tumut Department next! How should we respond? "Even Yarkand is difficult to protect itself, and Peshuo knows that there are no reinforcements.

The closed Tumut Department still maintained the bravery of the Mongols, and the generals were still unwilling.

"Altan Khan, our army also has 100,000 iron cavalry, while the Han army only has 20,000 cavalry, and the vast Qinghai Lake can also drag them down."

Someone spoke, and Tru also said: "Altan Khan might as well let his people retreat to Aerjin Mountain first, and we will lead 70,000 iron cavalry to cut off the supply of harassing the Han army, and the Han army can only retreat in less than half a month." ”

This was the outstanding guerrilla tactics of the Mongols, and the weak Temujin relied on guerrilla tactics to force the troops of the Dajin Kingdom to withdraw from the steppe.

Wolf Riding Tactics! Heshuo Altan Khan also nodded immediately: "Okay, use wolf cavalry tactics to drag down the Han army, but try not to slaughter the Han army prisoners!" ”

"Honorable Order." The generals also immediately received their orders, knowing that even if they could drive away this group of Han troops, they would not be able to defeat the endless stream of Han Chinese.

After this war, I am afraid that Tumut will also have to leave the Qinghai Lake area, which is rich in water and grass.

The crushing defeat in Xining made the plateau country completely abandon: Qinghai was north of the Tiantian River, and the army was gradually withdrawn to various places.

More than 300,000 Qiang people from all parts of Qinghai also submitted to the rule of the Han army.

The weather is still good today, and the patriarch of the Song clan has returned to Xining again, this time with tens of thousands of people. However, most of their weapons and armor were confiscated, and only the weapons of the tribe hunting were left, and even half of the war horses were confiscated.

Of course, they can choose to resist, but the consequence is to exterminate the race. The tribe of Dashuai Siwan is the strongest tribe in Qinghai, but now the young and strong have all entered the ground. The warlike Answer Siwan was also beaten into rotten flesh by the dense firecrackers.

After exterminating the first tribe that was unwilling to cooperate, the Qinghai tribes either fled or surrendered.

The Song clan was close to the Han region, and the living conditions were much better than those on the plateau, and the Song clan only wanted to return to their hometown and did not want to go west.

Today is the day to decide the future fate of Qinghai, and the leaders of dozens of large and small clans have gathered in the city lord's mansion.

After more than ten days of repairs, the City Lord's Mansion has been completely renovated, and it is no longer in tatters.

"The chief and deputy commander of the Western Route Army of the Northwest Group Army has arrived."

As soon as Li Dingguo and Lin Jiading arrived, the translator immediately shouted. It just so happened that this translator was the patriarch of the Song Domain, and Songtsan lingered in the prosperity of Chengdu when he was a teenager, so he also worshiped the Han teacher. It's a pity that after the civil strife in the Ming Dynasty, he hasn't gone to Chengdu again for 20 years. After the thieves and the massacre of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, today's Sichuan and Shu are even more sad and desolate.

As soon as the commander of the Han army arrived, all the patriarchs immediately stood up.

"I'm sorry to come here, please take a seat." Hundreds of thousands of Qiang Han troops could easily be cleared, but Li Dingguo didn't want Qinghai to become a wasteland.

Nowadays, the empire is vast and sparsely populated, and even the fertile land of the South Seas is rarely visited, and without twenty years of living and developing population, it is impossible to migrate the Han people to the west.

As soon as the interpreter finished speaking, the patriarchs also sat down.

After taking a sip of tea, Li Dingguo said: "You must have understood the policies of the empire before. Now Ben Shuai has officially announced the emperor's autonomy plan for the Qiang people. ”

The Songtsam interpreter immediately relayed the commander's original words.

After knowing this, all the clan leaders were concentrating, and no one could change the emperor's plan! Even if it's the god king of their plateau.

"The emperor remembered that the Han and Qiang were a family at the mouth of the river, and the emperor was even more eager to hope that the Qiang tribe would return to Yanhuang. The rule of the Western Governorate allowed the local administration to remain unchanged for twenty years, and the same was true for Qinghai Prefecture. However, the empire not only did not collect taxes on Qinghai, but also supported Qinghai every year. ”

There are few poor people in Qinghai, not to mention taxes, and the empire has to provide them with rations if there is a disaster.

The patriarchs also nodded knowingly, this is not a good policy.

After the translation was finished, Li Dingguo spoke again: "In the future, the Qiang people will exercise autonomy, and the empire will not care about it except for murder cases and big cases. The chiefs of the clans were no longer allowed to possess private armies, nor were they allowed to collect excessive taxes. The Qiang people's internal taxes are specific, and the Qiang people negotiate on their own, and the tribute of the god king must be canceled, of course, private individuals can also go to worship on their own. ”

As soon as the translator finished speaking, everyone also showed joy. This means that in the future, the officials of the Han people will not be in charge of them, except that they cannot ask the people, and they will be no different from before.

Songtsan was also very satisfied, at least the people of the various tribes did not have to serve the god-king and the presbyterian council according to the rules.

"As for Chinese characters, they don't need to be used by the whole clan, but those who don't know Chinese characters and Chinese dialects can't be in politics after ten years, and they can't leave the plateau for the rest of their lives."

Li Dingguo's words made everyone feel mixed feelings! Although ordinary tribesmen do not need to be sinicized, they must be sinicized as tribal leaders. Fortunately, there is a period of ten years, and after ten years, most people have retired.

After everyone quieted down, Li Dingguo also said: "Regarding the Plateau God King, the empire respects the beliefs of the Qiang people, but the military power of the God King and the Council of Elders must be abolished. In the future, the Plateau God King must not violate the laws of the Empire. The Emperor gave the Plateau Kingdom two years, and when the empire cleared the grasslands, the army would return to Wusizang again. ”

After listening to Li Dingguo's words, the patriarch of the Song Clan also felt cold! The heart of the empire is not inferior to the Mongol Empire, and after the occupation of the steppe, I am afraid it will be a bloody day for the kingdom of God.

After waiting for a while, seeing that everyone had no opinions, Li Dingguo also stood up and said: "It is not easy for you to travel all the way, please move and drink the imperial generals together." ”

The liquor of the Ming Dynasty was not pure enough, but the new liquor of the empire has a variety of degrees. The general's drunkenness, which is designed to replenish the general's qi and blood, is more than 40 degrees, and only needs one catty: no matter how good the amount of alcohol is, people will fall asleep. This is also an alternative sleeping pill, the general died in a hundred battles, and the bones are piled up. Historically, many generals have been drunk due to insomnia, and they have also been mentally disturbed due to insomnia, and many more have died young.

The general died in a hundred battles, and a few people returned to the ancient battle, and even if the general on the battlefield did not die in battle, he would fall ill and die early due to physical disorder.

The general was drunk, this was a special wine, and the Qiang people who loved wine soon fell asleep, and the guards who didn't know the situation thought that the patriarch was assassinated by the Han army.
