787 Shocking
Not only these ordinary people, but also the leaders of the Junggar Ministry, were also afraid.
Although they were taking the people of other tribes such as the Heshute tribe as a threat, they seemed to have taken the initiative. But the most important thing is that the current ability of the Ming army can easily destroy them, and whether they can survive or not, all of them are decided by the Ming Emperor on the other side.
If they annoy the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom, as long as they give an order, they will all die here!
Relatively speaking, if the Ming Emperor was in front of the two armies, if he was discredited, it would definitely have a bad impact on the emperor himself. Now that he has said so openly in the fight between the two armies, it seems that the possibility of losing his trust is very low. After all, he is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
Thinking like this, Zhuot Babatur became anxious, and hurriedly said to Baturhui: "Father Khan, he is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible to lose his trust!" If you annoy him by inch, once you turn your face, our quasi-Geer department will be finished! ”
The implication is that so be it, don't stimulate the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom anymore!
This time, the monk also reminded: "Father Khan, those Ming soldiers feel that we have insulted their emperor, and once they are excited, they are likely to come over." In this way, it is not that the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom does not care about his people, but that our emperor who insulted them did it first. Even if the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom punished the Ming army for his face afterwards, it would be a catastrophe for my Junggar Department! ”
Baturhun looked at the two sons, and then at the other leaders, and saw that they were all nodding in agreement, and couldn't help but sigh. Under the weakness, there is not much room for negotiation at all, and now forcing the Emperor of the Ming State to give two days to flee seems to be the limit.
Thinking so, he said loudly to Emperor Chongzhen: "We believe in the respected Emperor Ming Emperor, and ask your army to get out of the way and retreat ten miles. ”
When Emperor Chongzhen was talking to each other just now, he roughly judged that those people were the leaders of the Junggar tribe based on their words and deeds, and he was not stingy, and they all "rewarded" them with Grade A eavesdropping seeds.
After hearing Baturhun's words, Emperor Chongzhen said loudly to the herdsmen kneeling there: "Wait and rest assured, if the Zhungar Department does not keep its promise, I will immediately hunt them down, and don't even think about running away!" Wait and endure! ”
When the herdsmen heard this, they all wept with joy and kowtowed in thanksgiving.
Hong Chengchou was behind Emperor Chongzhen, and when he saw everything just now, he couldn't help but admire Emperor Chongzhen very much.
Even if the Junggar Department was not exterminated this time, with these herdsmen as the foundation, a Ming army stationed here, the Ming Dynasty would be equivalent to taking root in the Western Regions. When the Ming Dynasty turned around, there was no need to rush to relocate the domestic people, and it could already be used as a base for attacking the more western regions.
After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he ordered the army to retreat for ten miles.
On this boundless grassland, even if you retreat for ten miles, you can see the movement here, and with the help of a telescope, you can see it even more clearly.
In addition, there is a cavalry army of about 500 people who did not leave, just here to monitor the Dzungar tribe, and wait for the Dzungar department to evacuate and take over everything in the valley.
Baturhun finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart as he watched the Ming army slowly retreat, but immediately, he sighed heavily. The strength is not as good as the Ming army, no, the strength is far inferior to the Ming army, so it can only be like this!
Zot Babatur didn't have such a mind as him, but was worried and excited, and hurriedly said to him: "Father Khan, we have to leave quickly!" ”
And he said that two days, any quarter of an hour is precious.
As a result, Baturhun immediately returned to the valley and began to evacuate his tribe.
Although the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom said that he did not want to allow the cattle and sheep of the Geerbu, no matter what, these cattle and sheep could not be taken away! Otherwise, it will drag down the trip, let alone two days, even if it is two more days, it will be caught up by the Ming army.
Therefore, he asked his men to kill a batch of cattle and sheep, cut the meat, and carry as much as he could. As for the rest, he did not dare to order the destruction and killing, so as not to anger the Ming army.
Seeing that the people below were busy, Baturhun was in a daze again.
The monk noticed this situation, and when he looked at Batur Hui's line of sight, he understood why his father Khan was in a daze.
So, he also sighed, and it was a helpless thing.
It is certainly impossible for the old and weak in the tribe to flee for their lives, and even some children who are too young. In this case, in addition to the young and strong, there can only be some strong women who can follow, and the rest can only be abandoned.
Only by throwing away the burden, freeing up some more healthy horses, and running away with all his might, can he escape the pursuit of the Ming cavalry as much as possible in two days!
According to the practice of the steppe, these abandoned burdens should not die when they die, but they will become slaves.
As a result, there was a completely different scene in the valley.
The people of the Jungar tribe have fallen into a miserable situation of joy and sorrow, and they don't even have time to grieve, so they are hurriedly preparing to run away. Everything that was the winner before is gone.
And the people of the other tribes, they didn't see the situation outside, but they knew that the Ming army was coming outside, and when they saw the people of the Junggar tribe like this, they forgot their sadness, and wondered what happened for a while?
Someone will definitely say something like "How good you are, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom is willing to let us go in order to save you" and something like that. Although they didn't know as well as the people outside, they knew one thing, that is, they were saved because of the Ming Emperor.
Knowing this, of course they were excited and happy. It didn't take long for the captured herdsmen in the entire valley to know about it, and they cried with joy one by one, and then looked at the people of the Junggar Department who were about to flee for their lives in a hurry, seeing that they were so panicked, they couldn't help but be extremely grateful to the Ming Emperor.
About an hour later, about 15,000 people from the Dzungar tribe, one with two horses, or three horses, flocked to the mouth of the valley, and saw that the main force of the Ming army was camped ten miles away, and fled westward under the leadership of their great Khan Batur Hui, regardless of the sorrow of the old and weak in their tribe.
Seeing this, the Ming army left here first untied the herdsmen outside the valley.
When a group of herders was untied, they knelt down in thanks, and then rushed into the valley to find their loved ones. This is the case with almost all herders, who express their gratitude before going to their relatives and friends.
The rumbling hooves of the fleeing Dzungar Department naturally reached the side of the Ming army camp. Emperor Chongzhen took more than 5,000 horsemen and slowly came to this side of the valley.
Of course, it is inevitable that there will be Ming soldiers who will rush to this side of the valley first, and divide their men to search the valley to see if there are any remnants of the Zungar Division, whether it is safe enough, and so on.
When Emperor Chongzhen arrived at this side of the valley, the people in the valley had already received the news that the Ming Emperor was coming, so they all flocked to the outside of the valley. When they saw the banner of the Ming Emperor from afar, they all knelt down, and for a while, the entire grassland was full of kneeling people.
There were men and women, young and old, young and strong. Their faces were full of gratitude, and they knelt there reverently, just like the coming Emperor Chongzhen, which was their faith.
Hong Chengchou, who accompanied Emperor Chongzhen, glanced at everything in front of him, and couldn't help but admire Emperor Chongzhen again in his heart.
The hearts of the people in the Western Regions are all in the hands of the emperor!
If the emperor can really exterminate the Junggar Department again, then this trip to the Western Regions will be perfect! Of course, even if the Zhungar tribe escapes, the vitality of this tribe will be greatly damaged, and it will not be able to make any waves.
When he arrived in front of the sea of people, Emperor Chongzhen looked at these rescued herdsmen, and immediately said loudly: "Ozirtuqing led you to join the Ming Dynasty, and you are my people." My people, I protect them. As for the Dzungar tribe who hurt you, I will personally lead the army to pursue you in two days' time, and I will give you justice. ”
It can't be done without chasing it personally, after all, only Emperor Chongzhen can receive the information from the eavesdropping seeds on the leaders of the Junggar Ministry.
His words were naturally translated by the soldiers of the Ming Army. When these herdsmen heard this, they all shouted long live in response to the emperor's kindness.
Subsequently, naturally, there were Ming army soldiers who told the old and weak of the Geer Department, and Emperor Chongzhen naturally had no mercy on them and belittled them as slaves.
The next day after settling these herdsmen, Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to set up Tianshan Province, the provincial capital is Luntai, appointed Hong Chengchou as the governor of Tianshan Province, in charge of military and political power, expanded Luntai, and left 15,000 to ride to Hong Chengchou's command, leading these herdsmen to Luntai.
Emperor Chongzhen himself stayed here, and when the time came in two days, he led 30,000 cavalry troops to begin to pursue westward.
Although the Western Regions are vast and there are few landmarks, fortunately, there are already good hands in the army, and Emperor Chongzhen has sown out a lot of first-class eavesdropping seeds, and they are all on the leader of the Junggar Ministry, so no matter how the Junggar Department escapes, it was not able to escape in the end, and when he fled to the Irtysh River Valley, he was wiped out by the army led by Emperor Chongzhen. At this point, the Junggar Ministry has been removed!
On September 19, the 22nd year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen led the army back to Luntai, which surprised Hong Chengchou and others. I didn't expect the emperor to be so powerful that he would destroy the Junggar Department so quickly.
Those herdsmen were even more shocked, you must know that if you give the Zhun Geer Department to escape for two days, you can catch up and wipe out the clan so quickly in the vast grassland, even if it is the guidance of the Immortal Heaven, it is estimated that it will not be even faster than this.
At this time, a batch of materials transferred from the customs through Hami had already arrived in Luntai, and Emperor Chongzhen did not stay here for long, so he had to go back before the snowy road was difficult to walk.
Before leaving, he deliberately explained to Hong Chengchou.
