Chapter 164: The Only Victor

Under the watchful eye of the Ming army at the head of the city, a cavalryman from the north fell at the gate of the Mongol camp. When the news from the messenger was learned -----that there was a Ming army burning and looting in Mobei, the eastern Mongolian leader immediately asked the Great Khan for orders to go home to see, and the Warat army was also worried that the back road would be cut off, so after discussing with Ugqi, Erlebok immediately sent a cavalry to the north, and the army gradually returned.

At the head of the city, the generals couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they watched the Mongols return north, but King Yan ordered: "Xu Zhong and Zhang Yu, you two lead 10,000 cavalry to the north to see if you can recapture some of the plundered people, and detect the true intentions of the Mongols, with a limit of five days, remember, do not waste battles." ”

Among the rearguards of the Mongolian army returning to the north, Hong Gaowa looked at Kaiping City, which was getting farther and farther away, and called softly from the bottom of her heart: "Harguchuk, my love, my love, your Gaowa is thinking about you, but where are you?" Where are you? Are you thinking about me? Speaking of this, I couldn't help but cry: "My love, can I ever see you again in my life?" Will I ever see you again? Talking, talking, opened the curtain of the car and was about to jump down, but was hugged by Hannah, the personal maid.

"Hannah, don't stop me, I don't want to live, I can't live without him." Saying that, Hong Gaowa continued to struggle, crying silently.

Hannah is seventeen years old this year, her strength is not strong enough, and she is about to be unable to hold Hong Gaowa, she hurriedly shouted: "Princess, the prince is not dead, if you die, won't you never see him again?" ”

Hong Gaowa's body was shocked, yes, her lover is not dead yet, if she dies, won't she be able to see him even more? However, she looked back at the south, and tears welled up in her eyes, but even if she lived, she might not be able to see it! My love, what do you want me to do?

Hannah's voice continued: "Princess, you are still pregnant with the blood of the prince, have you forgotten?" ”

Hong Gaowa slowly calmed down, wiped the tears on her face, and said softly: "Hannah, I'm fine, you let go, I won't seek death." His right hand gently stroked his abdomen, and tears dripped down his cheeks.

At this time, there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves outside the car, followed by shouts of killing, screams, and crying......

In June of the 29th year of Hongwu, the Ming and Mongolian wars that lasted for half a year finally came to an end, both sides suffered heavy losses, thanks to Geng Xuan's outstanding performance in Mobei, the Ming army lost about 75,000 people, and the Mongolian army lost about 60,000 people.

It's just that when the Mongolian army retreated north, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, sent troops to pursue, which greatly surprised the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army guard wanted to guard Princess Hong Gaowa and did not dare to stay away, which made the Ming army rob a lot of plundered people. This insignificant victory brought the war to a close.

Geng Xuan killed countless Mongolian tribes in Mobei, plundered more than 30,000 herdsmen, more than 100,000 cattle, horses and sheep, most of these herdsmen were driven to Hetao and northwest to raise horses, and the captured war horses were also scattered to various pastures, cattle and sheep were distributed to the soldiers, so Geng Xuan was promoted to the commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, stationed in Shenyang; Wu Sheng was promoted to the commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division; Zhu Yunwen's four bodyguards, Zhang Tie, Wan Zicheng, Ma Lu and Niu Dehai, were also promoted to the posts of commander, commander and commander, and transferred back to Beijing to take up their posts.

The men of Chen Heng's family, who surrendered to the enemy, were executed, and the women were equipped with meritorious soldiers; Anlu Marquis Wu Jie's merits were offset, and he returned to Beijing to listen to the use, and the leading soldiers were incorporated into the Liaodong Capital Division and were under the command of Geng Xuan;

Yang Wen, the commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, was transferred to the general army of Beiping, responsible for commanding the troops around Beiping, focusing on restoring the defense around Kaiping and preventing the invasion of the enemy. In order to enhance the strength of the border cities, the imperial court sent elite and daring soldiers from the guards stationed in Beijing to Kaiping, Daning, and Datong to enhance the strength of the border army.

Although the capture of the Mongolian army was snatched away by Geng Xuan, but its capture to the south was retained, although Cao Yunfan ordered the destruction of firearms at the last moment, but there were still many arquebuses, tiger squat cannons fell into the hands of the enemy, after all, not everyone can do death as home, these firearms were divided between Wara and the Golden Family, which had some unpredictable impact on later history.

The war for the eastern tribes of Mongolia, heavy losses, blocking the Ming army Lele car, wool and other things are provided by the eastern tribes, plus the tribes gathered around the fishing sea were turned into a ghost by Geng Xuan, resulting in the vitality of the eastern Mongolia, the leader of the eastern tribe is like a mourner, without the people, there is no basis for survival, and the eastern Mongolia will inevitably usher in a round of reshuffle.

In this battle between Ming and Mongolia, the eastern Mongolia did a big wrong, the prince Harguchuk personally lured the enemy, and his cronies were killed by the Ming army, and he was almost captured alive, although in the end it still fell into the hands of the Ming army; The three Uliangha tribes were uprooted, and all the leaders of the Uliangha tribe became prisoners of the Ming army, and the remaining personnel in the camp were nowhere to be found; Strategic materials and supplies are provided by eastern Mongolia; The tribes around the fishing sea were also killed and wounded; Due to the large number of lost forces, the disparity between the forces and the forces of Warat was even greater, resulting in a great loss in the distribution of captured materials. Some of the leaders of the Warat army even said, "Do you still have any people?" What do you want to do with such loot? "Although the eastern Mongol leaders were extremely angry, they were helpless.

The Warats, who were about to return westward, were the only victors in this battle, and their cavalry only lost less than 10,000 people, but they gained a large number of captures, such as the Ming army's lost Wugang vehicles, armor, supplies, and plundered Han slaves, which greatly enhanced the strength of the Warat people and strengthened the leadership of Ugqi.

After this battle, Ugqi not only strengthened its ruling authority over the interior of Warat and became a veritable prince, but Erebak Khan had to give in one after another due to the dispersion of his subordinates and the capture of his younger brother, and even his henchmen and pro-army Asut Department also showed signs of instability, after all, at the beginning of the war, Ugqi generously replenished them with 5,000 pairs of armor, and the well-equipped Asut Department was able to set up the merit of shooting and killing Fu Youde, the commander of the Ming army. Therefore, when dividing the spoils of war, the Asut and Warat tribes belong to the first sequence of division, which seems to give Elbok Khan a great deal of face on the surface, and seeing that Arutai has obtained a large amount of spoils, Elbok Khan is also very happy, and seems to be sincerely happy that the strength of his pro-army has increased.

Geng Xuan's attack from the Uliangha camp was like opening a Pandora's box, making the Mongols realize that the camps around the fishing sea were no longer safe, so it was urgent to strengthen the power of the eastern Mongols. Under Wang Xing's planning, Ugqi suggested that the Asuth tribe be sent to the east, to hunt around the fishing sea, and to maintain the left flank of Horin. In this way, the Asuth tribe was divided into two parts, one part continued to defend the Great Khan, and the other part hunted in the eastern steppes, and its power was greatly increased. But inevitably, the strength of the Great Khan's pro-army declined. Arutai was distracted, and what he would do when his eastern tribe was under attack, only God knows.

In addition, Ugqi believed that the strength of the eastern steppe was still insufficient, and continued to propose that the Zahamin of the Great Khan's favored retainer Haohai Dayu be transferred to the eastern steppe, but this incident caused an uproar. On the one hand, Erbok Khan is reluctant to leave Haohai Dayu, a favored vassal, and Haohai Dayu is also very entangled, the eastern steppe is rich in water and grass, it is indeed a good place for nomadism, but it is too far away from its hometown Altai Mountain, and the eastern steppe is full of the tribes of the golden family, when Genghis Khan's brothers such as Hesar, Belgutai and so on are mostly divided in the eastern steppe, Kublai Khan suppressed the rebellion of the host kings, but also strengthened the rule of this generation, resulting in the golden family in this generation deep-rooted; I am a Warat people, how can I survive and even grow in that land?

In the end, Elbok Khan decided to send Haohai Dayu's son Mahamu to lead the tribe to the eastern steppes and marry his daughter Princess Samur to him, so that Mahamu became the son-in-law of the Golden Family, and he would not be an outsider and would not be excluded by the eastern tribes. As long as Mahamu has a little talent, the development of Zahamin's ministry is predictable.

Ugqi's move kills two birds with one stone, one is to transfer Zahamin's security department, who is somewhat alienated from himself, away from his side, which is equivalent to removing the eyes and ears of an Elebak; In addition, it is also to find a way out for the Zahamin tribe, who are also Varats, to expand the power of the Varats, so that the power of the Varats will expand from Lake Baikal to the fishing sea, forming an encirclement of the Golden Family.

It's just that no one knows what Mahamu, the key point of this encirclement, thinks.

The three Wuliangha divisions were transferred 5,000 men in Beiping to supplement the losses of the guards around Yanshan. Under the maneuvering of Princess Xu, Zhu Gaochu escaped his father's punishment and was also given the responsibility of reorganizing the Wuliangha tribe, which naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the prince Zhu Gaochi.

At the same time, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, sent a letter to Zhu Zhi, the king of Liao, and ordered Geng Xuan, the commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Commander, to find the missing subordinates of the Wuliangha tribe, so that the soldiers guarding the left and right of Yanshan could be reunited.

After Harguchuk and others arrived in Beijing, Zhu Yuanzhang personally received them, and finally named Harguchuk as the king of Shunyi County, and the rest of the leaders were named earls, rewarded richly, and stayed in Beijing to be honored.

It seems like it's all over.
