Finally entered the city, Tashhai and Huluke Zhaisang seemed to have overturned the five-flavor bottle in their hearts, and lost so many warriors, Kadang City was still impregnable, but now it ......
When the Great Khan wanted to talk to the Han Chinese, they were against it, and they would never agree to it if it wasn't for food, because the Mongols had run out of food, and if they didn't want to starve to death, or slaughter the little livestock they had left, they could only accept the arrangement of the Mandate of Heaven.
Fortunately, the Mandate of Heaven Army is as stupid as the Ming Dynasty, for the sake of some false fame, he is willing to help the entire Chahar Department, and when the Mongols have developed strength, they will settle accounts with the Mandate of Heaven Army!
Tashhai's face is solemn, the strength of the Heavenly Mandate Army does not seem to be bad, there are more than a thousand cavalry alone, I don't know how many infantry, if there is any action in the future, you must be careful, it is best to attack it unprepared......
Just past the city gate hole, the terrain suddenly became open, Tashhai and Huluke Zhaisang were waiting to speed up the horse, but they were taken aback when they raised their heads!
On both sides of the avenue in the city, two columns of soldiers stood opposite each other, motionless as a mountain, boundless as far as the eye could see.
The service of the Mandate of Heaven Army is all that kind of strange tea and green cloth, and the Ming army and the people, you can distinguish them at a glance, these are all soldiers, you can't be wrong!
These soldiers, with gunners as the skeleton, are separated by three or four auxiliaries, and although various standard instruments are straddled on their shoulders and arms, pointing diagonally into the sky, they may also be turned around at any time.
The Mongols were disarmed, all with bare hands, in case this ......
Tashhai clenched the horsewhip in his hand, and as soon as the wind blows, he can only beat the horse like a fly, and flees first......
Li Guo fell at the end of the team, just in front of Tashhai and Huluke Zhaisang, he deliberately peeked into the expressions of the two, and saw that the two were so stunned that even the war horses stopped, and he was overjoyed. β
Huluke Zhaisang has been looking at the soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven on both sides, lest he be hit by the other party's swords and guns if he is not careful, the Mongols do not carry any weapons, once they are attacked, they can only wait for death, even Li Guo's questioning, he failed to hook his sight, he pointed to the heavily armed soldiers on both sides with his finger, "General Li, they ......"
"They?" Li Guo laughed, and his heart was even more secretly happy, "They are just a team to welcome you Mongols into the city, and there is no malice, don't worry, two of you!" β
"Greeting?" Tashhai muttered to himself, Li Guo said lightly, if he was not careful...... However, he has already entered the city, even if he wants to turn back, if the Han people really have any evil intentions, as long as the city gate is closed, he will not be able to fly with wings!
Tashihai and Huluke Zhaisang were surprised, but the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army on both sides did not squint, and there was no sign of making a move at all, and Li Guo had a smile on his face, they could only choose to believe it.
If you don't believe it, you can't help it, they have no choice.
The two glanced at each other, and both nodded silently, and the team began to march again, but under the urging of Tashhai and Huluke Zhaisang, the speed of the march was much faster.
Taking advantage of the unpreparedness, Tashhai secretly called a guard, whispered a few words, and the guard couldn't help nodding and sneaking into the crowd.
At the head of the city, Li Zicheng looked at this group of Mongols, and was full of emotion in his heart, the most authentic Chahar department of the Mongols had fallen to such a point under the blow of Huang Taiji!
He Xiaomi posted it and said in a low voice: "Governor, the Mongols have no weapons now, if our army attacks, none of these Mongols will be able to escape......
"If we raid, we can annihilate the Mongols," Li Zicheng smiled faintly, "But we are different from those Mongols who drink Maoru's blood, since we have an agreement, we must abide by it, otherwise, who will dare to trust us in the future?" β
"The Metropolitan Governor is right," He Xiaomi was still a little unwilling, "but it's a pity to let these Mongols go like this, their hands are probably stained with the blood of our Han people!" β
"At this time and at that time, there are no eternal enemies in the world, and there are no eternal friends!" Li Zicheng secretly said that in order to fight for hegemony, Britain and France have fought for a hundred years, and they can let go of their hatred for each other, so why should they be like these Mongols? The key is interests, and from the beginning of the talks with Namu Zhong, what he considered the most was the interests of the Mandate of Heaven Army.
"The Governor ......"
Li Zicheng stretched out his hand to stop He Xiaomi, "If we raid these Mongols, we can indeed weaken the power of the Mongols, but what about Lin Dan Khan outside the city?" With such a big movement, they will definitely know that if they run away and plunder the Han people everywhere, won't we have to deploy defenses everywhere and heavy troops everywhere? β
"Governor, my subordinates understand!" Only then did He Xiaomi understand that the Metropolitan Governor did not want to destroy the Mongols, but to lead them by the nose and use them for my use, at least not for the sake of harming the Han people.
"It's good to understand!" Li Zicheng said with a smile: "These Mongols are willing to lay down their weapons today, as long as they pass this straight road, they will trust the Heavenly Mandate Army even more, and if they have to manage them in the future, the difficulty will be greatly reduced!" β
On the straight road from the west of the city to the east of the city, Huluke Zhaisang walked slowly, his only hope was to get out of the city as soon as possible, out of the grasp of the Mandate of Heaven Army, the life of the Mongols could not be controlled by the Han people!
Although the cavalry could speed up, the troops behind were all dragging children and daughters, as well as a large number of belongings and livestock, and gradually fell behind, and after half an hour, they completely left the east gate.
Li Guo kept sending the Mongols out of the city, and said to Tashihai and Huluke Zhaisang: "Two chief officials, there are three days of food in front, and another steamed white flour steamed bun, which is enough for you to rush to Dacaotan, and every three days in the future, we will send three days' worth of food." β
"Thank you, General Lee!" Tashhai and Huluke Zhaisang all thanked Li Guo and left Kadang City, they were like wild horses returning to the grassland, and their hearts were not as nervous as they were just now.
"You don't need to be polite, if you want to thank the Governor of Dadu," Li Guo hung his spear on the Victory Hook and returned the salute with both hands, "The two of you can take your people away, and I hope you will obey the orders of the Metropolitan Governor in the future!" β
"We will definitely abide by the agreement reached between the two sides, and we will naturally abide by the orders of the Grand Governor," Tashhai glanced at Huluke Zhaisang, but frowned and said: "General Li, then our weapons ......"
"You don't have to worry about this, when the next time you deliver food, our people will transport your weapons to Dacaotan," Li Guo didn't look down on the Mongols' belongings, but the governor said that he was worried that the Mongols would harm the Han people along the way, so he temporarily confiscated their weapons, "All of them are our people along the way, even if you don't have weapons, as long as you don't take the initiative to cause trouble, you are all safe." β
Tashhai and Huluke Zhaisang can't do it, they are now nominally attached to the Mandate of Heaven Governor's Mansion, so they naturally have to obey the arrangement of the Metropolitan Governor, although they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they don't dare to show a trace on their faces, "Along the way, we will definitely not rob the Han brothers!" "That's the best," Li Guo said with a smile: "You go to Dacaotan to investigate first, and at the same time as the weapons are returned to you, the Metropolitan Governor will also demarcate the grazing range for you, and you must not cross the border for no reason!" β
Li Zicheng asked the Mongols to raise livestock and settle in the big grass beach, and they may have to build a city in the future, if these more than 3,000 people were concentrated in one place, there would inevitably be a shortage of pasture, and the herdsmen living in the city at that time would have to run far to find enough pasture, and animal husbandry and settlement would inevitably become empty talk.
In addition, the big grass beach became a pasture for the Mongols, but they could not change or expand the pastoral area at will, infringing on the interests of the Han people in the periphery, and it was best to have a clear boundary marker with the Han people.
The Mongols had to divide into several groups, scattered in the form of villages in large grassy flats, and in the summer when the pasture was vigorous, the excess forage was cut and dried for later use, and there was no need to transfer grazing in the autumn and winter.
If possible, the "Three Farmers of the Americas" were introduced to the Great Grass Beach to increase the food of the Mongols and gradually reduce their dependence on meat.
According to Li Zicheng's estimate, once the Mongols tasted the sweetness of settlement, they would like this kind of life, slowly switch from nomadism to farming, and abandon the war horses that consume a lot of forage and have no practical effect, thus losing the ability to maneuver.
How did Tashhai and Huluke Zhaisang know Li Zicheng's calculations? Their most important thing now is food, and as long as they can survive this famine and keep their livestock, they will be grateful.
Seeing Li Guo away, Tashhai called the original guard, "How about it, how many soldiers of the Mandate of Heaven are there in the city?" β
"Back to the chief officer, the villains have counted them one by one, and on both sides of the avenue, there are at least seven thousand soldiers standing!"
"Seven thousand?" Tashhai was stunned for a moment, plus more than 1,000 cavalry of Li Guo's army, the Mandate of Heaven army in Kadang City was more than the total number of Mongols, no wonder Kadang City couldn't be attacked for a long time!
Huluk Zhaisang asked about the situation, and also shook his head and sighed, no wonder the Great Khan called himself a vassal to the Heavenly Mandate Army!
For today's plan, we can only take one step at a time, don't think about Kadangcheng, or accept the food of the Han people.
They opened the grain that had been loaded into the truck, although it was only white flour, and it was quite different from the beef and mutton they preferred, but fortunately, they could survive and their livestock could be saved.
Tashhai distributed the steamed white-flour steamed buns to everyone, and he also chewed them, the white-flour steamed buns had no taste, and the Mongolians were accustomed to beef and mutton, and they ate a lot of food, but the steamed buns were limited, and each strong man and strong woman could get two steamed buns, while the old people and children could only get one, they would not starve to death, but they could not gather strength.
Li Guo returned to the city, the soldiers of the Heavenly Mandate Army on both sides of the avenue had been disbanded, the gunners had returned to their respective queues, the auxiliary soldiers of the 5,000th household were recovering camouflage uniforms and equipment from some civilians and miners, and Zhou Bin was stroking his beard and stealing fun.
"General Zhou, how is it, the performance of the people and miners is okay, right?"
"Ah, General Lee is back?" Zhou Bin laughed, "Fortunately, the time is short, if there is another half an hour, I'm afraid I will pee my pants......"
Li Guo touched his smooth jaw, "Fortunately, some Mongolian weapons were captured, otherwise there would be so many knives and guns at one time?" β
"The Mongols were scared, weren't they? In a hurry, I don't have time to argue in detail...... "Zhou Bin is enlightened, "The 'bluff' of the Metropolitan Governor's hand has the same effect as Sun Bin's 'increasing troops and reducing the stove', it is really unpredictable......"
"Hahaha......"
"Hahaha......"
