Chapter 550: Transforming Mongolia (1)

When Ji Feng and Chang Shunhou got that all the Mongolian tribes planned to surrender, they both smiled and accepted the surrender of the Mongolian tribes without hesitation.

"Order, stop shelling immediately!"

Soon, four corps artillery battalions, three hundred and twenty artillery pieces stopped tilting shells towards Ulanqabne.

Feeling the cessation of the cannonball, in the city, the leaders of the various tribes such as Wu Chitai and the Mongolian cavalry of each division were lowered like a big stone on their heads.

Just now, enduring the possibility of shells exploding around you at any time was really too stressful, and the power of the shell explosion terrified everyone, how many cavalry units had witnessed other people being torn apart by the shells that had been blown up, and were blown into minced flesh in a blood mist.

Without the continuous explosion of heavy artillery fire, the cavalry of all units had the energy to check the tragic situation around the city of Ulanqab.

There were minced meat and stumps and broken arms everywhere, and there were some meat sauce made from the corpses of the fallen cavalry, and just now hundreds of thousands of war horses were running back and forth in the city of Ulanqab within a radius of several miles, and dozens of horse hooves were constantly trampling on the ground, trampling a large number of fallen corpses into meat sauce.

In the entire Ulanqab, the bloody and tragic situation is like the Shura region.

While many of the cavalry of the various divisions turned pale, they were glad that they had not become one of those meat sauces.

The instructions of the Ming generals outside the city soon came in, and all the cavalry of all units surrendered from the gap in the north.

"Let's go!" Wu Chitai said to the leaders of the various tribes in a very decadent manner.

Who would have thought that before yesterday, he was still planning to exclude Chahar from the alliance and make himself the leader of the alliance, so that he could replace Chahar as the new leader of the Mongolian ministries by relying on the prestige accumulated this time.

But today, only two days have passed, and he is about to become a prisoner, and Chahar has become the only surviving tribe of the Mongol tribes because of his deliberate elimination.

In accordance with the requirements of the generals of the Ming army, Wu Chitai and other leaders of various departments and cavalry of various departments dismounted their horses, threw down the scimitars in their hands and all the sharp weapons on their bodies, and walked out from the gap in the north to surrender.

Thinking about it, I feel a little ironic, they originally entered Ulanqab from this gap in the north and planned to slaughter the unarmed Ming people who built the city inside, but the people did not slaughter, but they came out of this gap again, but this time they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

The more than 130,000 cavalry units in Ulanqab all threw down their scimitars, dismounted their horses, and came out on foot to surrender.

Together with the nearly 20,000 cavalry of various divisions outside the city that had surrendered, Ji Feng and others accepted the surrender of a total of 150,000 Mongolian cavalry.

When the last Mongol cavalry also came out to surrender, several groups of soldiers walked into the city of Ulanqab, where hundreds of thousands of ownerless war horses roamed aimlessly.

"Haha, there are so many war horses!" A division commander of the Ming army looked at so many war horses, and his face smiled like a flower.

Soldiers of the Ming army continued to enter the city to take out the horses left behind by the cavalry of various Mongolian tribes and settle them.

The war was completely over, and Prince Chahar Hutu came to the Ming army camp with several Chahars.

"The combat power of the Great Tomorrow soldiers is so powerful that they will kill all my Mongolian tribes in one battle, which is really awe-inspiring!" When Prince Hutu said this to Ji Feng, although he had a smile on his face, anyone could see that he was smiling extremely reluctantly.

But isn't it, Chahar may not deal with some tribes in ordinary times, but everyone is a Mongol in the end, at this moment watching the defeat and capture of the various departments, Chahar can't help but feel a little sad about the death of the rabbit and the fox, after all, all the tribes are the strength of the Mongols themselves, and now all the battles have been lost, and for a long time in the future, Mongolia will not be able to recover its vitality, and even must rely on the Ming Dynasty to hold the grassland.

"That's it!" Ji Feng unceremoniously accepted Prince Hutu's praise for the Ming army, and at the same time, he also looked at Prince Hutu with a somewhat strange gaze and smiled: "I thought that Prince Hutu would also bring Chahar cavalry to participate, but it seems that Prince Hutu understands righteousness!" ”

The cold sweat on Prince Hutu's forehead came down in an instant, and Da Ming really counted him Chahar into it, but fortunately, they Chahar finally held back.

It's also strange that Da Ming won too quickly, but if Da Ming showed a little defeat, Chahar was afraid that he would rush in without hesitation to join the battle group, Prince Hutu didn't know if he should thank Uchitai of Khalkha, if it weren't for him, Chahar would not have been spared at this moment.

It is not difficult to guess, Prince Hutu has already guessed that the reason why Chahar has not been able to receive the news of the alliance between the various tribes is that Uchitai is obstructing it, and he is afraid that Chahar will snatch the position of the leader of the alliance that belongs to them.

"Where, where, Prince Ben is ashamed!" Prince Hutu said embarrassedly, and cold sweat broke out from his forehead again.

At this moment, on the Mongolian steppe, only Chahar was able to retain more than 20,000 Mongolian cavalry because he was lucky not to participate, and the other Mongolian tribes lost their elite and no longer had the ability to resist.

The next day, after closing the battlefield, Ji Feng and Chang Shunhou sent three armies, mounted war horses, divided into multiple parts, and attacked in multiple ways to kill the Mongolian tribes involved this time.

Blood and fire enveloped the entire Mongolian steppe almost in a day, and dozens of large and small Mongolian tribes were broken in an instant, and all the men, women and children inside were captured.

Seeing that a large number of men, women and children from various Mongolian tribes were constantly captured and came to the Ulanqab area, the Chahar people who were close at hand were completely afraid, and once again glad that they did not participate in it so that the Chahar could be saved, and the Chahar people were already afraid of the Ming from the bottom of their hearts, this tribe known as the bloodline of Genghis Khan was completely unable to resist the Ming at this moment.

A few days later, the Mongolian good news spread to the city of Nanjing and spread to all parts of the Ming Dynasty.

The people of Daming all cheered, the officials were excited, and Zhu Ci also showed a smile on his face.

This is the first time since Genghis Khan of the Song Dynasty invaded the Central Plains with Mongolian iron cavalry, the Ming Dynasty completely defeated the Mongols, and beat the Mongols to the point that there was almost no room to turn over.

The results of the war were abundant, nearly 200,000 iron cavalry of the allied troops of various departments were wiped out, more than 100,000 Mongolian elite young men and women were captured, millions of Mongolian men, women and children were captured, and more than 700,000 war horses and millions of cattle and sheep were captured by various departments.

Zhu Ci ordered that all the cattle and sheep of the remaining horses and horses be transported into the customs except for a part of the cubs that continued to stay in the grassland, and the cattle were distributed free of charge to farmers who did not have cattle to cultivate the land, and the sheep were raised in pen and slowly slaughtered and sold in the market, in addition to earning a part of the military expenses for the imperial court, but also in order not to excessively suppress the price of raw meat, after all, if the price of raw meat is suppressed too much at once, many households that originally raised livestock for a living will go bankrupt, and eventually lead to the slaughter of these sheep, the raw meat on the market may skyrocket due to insufficient supply, Pay for one's whistle.

After the First Battle of Ulanqab, the Mongol tribes completely lost the ability to resist, and Zhu Ciji should think about how to transform the Mongolian steppe and assimilate it into the real territory of the Ming Dynasty.
