Chapter 215: Surrender

In the second year of Chongzhen, the twenty-fifth day of the first month.

Luge and Tobok divided the tribesmen of Gaohang, and at the same time gathered more than 4,000 young men, and on this day they took the guards of Omubu and surrounded the big tent of Omubu.

Omubu was drunk, and he didn't know what was going on.

"Luge, are the deserters all settled?"

Omubu asked in a daze.

"You are no longer fit to be our king, and your wrong actions have angered the Akito.

And now the Ming people came to the door with sharp firearms.

The Yarkand people in the west and the Khalkha in the north are eyeing our Tumut tribe, and the Tumut tribe is already under attack.

Our Tumut Ministry is about to suffer an unprecedented catastrophe, and you have caused it all.

Do you want to drag the whole tribe to be buried with you? ”

Luge entered the big account and shouted angrily.

"Presumptuous! It's against you, guards, guards! ”

Hearing Luge's rebuke, Ombu stood up angrily and cried out loudly.

"Hmph, it's useless for you to shout and cut your throat, now the tribe is full of our people."

Lu Ge put his hand on the hilt of the knife, squinting his eyes and ready to draw the knife at any time, if it wasn't for Wang Zezhi's confession that he wanted to live, he really couldn't help but slaughter Omubu.

"Eh, no matter what he says, he is also our king, we can't kill him, we need him to gather his people."

Tobock held Lugg's hand and stopped him from drawing his sword.

Lu Ge loosened the handle of his knife and shaved the Russian cloth viciously.

When Omubu heard the words of the two, he immediately sobered up for the most part.

"You... Are you going to rebel? ”

Omubu said tremblingly.

"Listen to me, at the moment we only have one way to live, that is, to surrender to the Ming Dynasty with our clansmen and migrate to Sanniangzi City, otherwise we only have one way to die, do you hear clearly?"

Lu Ge lifted the collar of Omubu and said viciously.

"Okay, okay, whatever you say."

Omubu was frightened, and he just agreed.

Omubu agreed to Luge's proposal, and immediately gathered his people and announced that they were going to go down and prepare to move the tribe.

However, not all of his people answered his call.

Because some tribesmen did not want to leave here and chose to stay, some tribesmen went to Khalkha relatives in the north, some tribesmen went to the grasslands further west, and some Mongolian Han people were ready to flee to Shaanxi to seek a living.

In the end, only about 40,000 people gathered.

The main reason for this is that the Ming Dynasty often took retaliatory actions, and every autumn, sent troops deep into the grasslands to set fire to the grasslands, called "burning waste", so that the livestock in the pastoral areas could not survive the winter due to the lack of grass.

The Ming army also often attacked Mongolian camps and drove away a large number of livestock, which was called "driving horses"; They use the mobility of the cavalry to carry out fast and precise decapitation operations on the herdsmen's garrisons and eliminate the opponent's living forces, which is called "smashing the nest".

At this time, the herders in the Hetao area returned to a single, fragile nomadic economy.

According to the historical records, the northern captives are scattered in the desert north, people do not cultivate and weave, the land has no other products, and the daily use of the pot kettle needle and thread in the captives must be cast in China, and the colored clothes of uranium satin silk cloth are only plundered.

The Tatars could not afford to use the Chinese for their purposes, and without the ability to obtain the necessary materials from the Ming Dynasty in a peaceful trade manner, the herdsmen in the Hetao region were in great difficulty.

For example, they lacked cloth, silk, silk and satin, and had no clothing, and felt was not hot in summer; Another example is that they lack iron pots, destroy the raw pots, and do everything possible to make up for the leaks, so that they have to store the skin and boil the meat for food.

Similar records are endless, and their thin and hungry shape, poor state, and common pity for the people.

In addition, Omubu was repeatedly defeated, and brought out the young men of the clan, but never brought them back.

His people were disheartened and didn't want to follow him anymore.

Ombu also knew that Luge's proposal was right.

Because the Hetao at this time is seriously desertified, it is no longer suitable for the survival of the tribesmen. 137

The tribesmen who were willing to surrender with him began to dismantle the yurts, drive the cattle and sheep, and prepare to migrate.

……

In the second year of Chongzhen, the twenty-seventh day of the first month.

Wang Zezhi had been waiting for Lu Ge for seven days, and he had lost his patience.

There is another reason, that is, the sentinels led by Xiao Liuzi detected signs of the march of a large number of Tartars.

According to preliminary estimates, the number is around 40,000.

The enemy situation was unknown, Wang Zezhi did not dare to take risks, he immediately organized 10,000 cavalry, ready to attack this team.

"Report, Luge asks to see."

Just as he was preparing his troops and horses to attack, Luge and Tobok personally escorted Omubu to Wang Zezhi's camp.

"The subordinates are fortunate not to be dishonored, and they captured Omubu alive, please check it."

Like a Han general, Lu Ge knelt on the ground and reported to Wang Zezhi.

His posture was so low that Wang Zezhi mistakenly thought that Lu Ge was his old subordinate.

Wang Zezhi was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Omubu.

With clear eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, a round face, a high nose, and black curly hair, he looks like he is thirteen or fourteen years old.

The only thing that didn't match his age was the overly pale look on his face, Wang Zezhi didn't expect Omubu to be so young.

"Do you know how to speak Chinese?" Wang Zezhi asked at Omubu.

"Yes." Omubu replied cautiously.

"Your father is in Beijing, didn't you send troops just for your father?

You go to Jingshi to reunite with him. ”

Wang Zezhi said.

"Really?" Omubu looked at Wang Zezhi in disbelief, he thought that Wang Zezhi would kill him.

"Come on, send him to Jingshi, and by the way, report to the emperor that the Hetao has been recovered."

"Obey."

Wang Zezhi no longer said a word to Omu Bu, ordered his subordinates to untie the rope for him, and took him to the direction of the capital.

After Omubu left, Wang Zezhi asked Lu Ge what was going on with the more than 40,000 people.

Lugg knelt on the ground and explained humbly.

It turned out that these people were herders stationed in the Hetao area, and since the Hetao area was no longer suitable for survival, and there were other tribes eyeing them, Lu Ge decided to bring his people to surrender together.

If you change people, you will definitely feel that it is a burden for so many people to surrender, but for Wang Zezhi, the more people who come to surrender, the better.

In addition, Luge also recommended Tobok, saying that the reason why he was able to capture Omubu alive so smoothly was that Tobok made great efforts.

Wang Zezhi was overjoyed, took out the seal of the king of Shunyi on the spot and handed it to Lu Ge, and personally named him the king of Shunyi of the new generation.

As for Tobok, Wang Zezhi also took advantage of it.

He divided the 40,000 tribesmen brought by Luge into two banners, the left and the right, and selected 10,000 of them as the right wing to be under the administration of Tobok.

Lu Ge was the king of Shunyi, holding the left banner, and Tobok was his deputy holding the right banner, and the two jointly governed the Tumut department.

Wang Zezhi's move also has the meaning of letting them embankment each other and contain each other.

Otherwise, in the next eighteen years, there will be more young people under the command of the two.

When the time comes, after such a long period of recuperation, if you have any objections, I am afraid that it will become a disaster.

Now it's different, if the two of them have a dislike, they will consume each other and can't become an atmosphere.

The most critical point is that even if the two have the intention of joining forces, Wang Zezhi will use some means to sabotage it.

He won't watch them get bigger, besides, there is an Erin Chen in charge of them above the two of them, and when the time comes, where will there be energy to cause trouble.
