Li Zicheng laughed, Fengtian is nothing new, whether it is Datong Mountain or Dacaotan, when Lin Dan Khan was alive, Catholicism had been widely spread in Chahar Mongolia, the key is to become a Han citizen, and it is necessary to break the psychological barriers of Mongolians.

Today's meal is really worth it, and Erdemutu has made a good start.

Li Zicheng kept a smile on his face, pretending, got up and left the seat, and helped Erdemutu up with both hands, "General don't be polite, from now on, we are really a family!" ”

At this time, both of them had no intention of drinking, but discussed some specific matters, and Erdemutu said goodbye and went back.

In the evening, Gao Yigong finally arrived at Yonggu City.

That night, Li Zicheng held a large-scale meeting in his temporary residence, which was attended by Gao Yigong, Erdemutu, Song Wen, and Zhou Bin, as well as officials of more than 100 households left in the city by the Tiger Cavalry, as well as interpreters.

The line is too small, it looks very crowded, if you use a wooden chair, you can't put it down at all, except for Li Zicheng, the rest of the people are sitting on the maza.

He Xiaomi did not serve tea to everyone, indicating that tonight's meeting would not be too long.

"Everyone," Li Zicheng sat on the top wooden chair, facing all the participants, "Chahar Mongolia has come to this day, and its vitality has been greatly damaged, and today Ben Khan summoned you to discuss the future of Chahar Mongolia with you." ”

"The villain, everything is subject to the destiny of God!" Erdemutu was the first to leave his seat and knelt down in front of Li Zicheng.

Erdemutu's status is very high, he was originally one of the ten sumu of the iron lance Konot, and at the order of Lin Dan Khan, he was nomadic alone in the area of Datong Mountain, and his status was higher than that of Badasi and Jirigala, and after the death of Lin Dan Khan, Badasi and Jirigala quickly followed Li Zicheng's side, and their biggest worry was Erdemutu.

Erdemutu took the initiative to surrender to Li Zicheng, but they had some surprises, the two glanced at each other, and they also left their seats, prostrate in front of Li Zicheng, "Everything under his subordinates is subject to the Mandate of Heaven!" ”

"Everything under his subordinates is subject to the destiny of the Khan!"

Erdemutu, Badasi and Jirigala have all expressed their positions, how dare the officials of the hundred households have other thoughts? pouted their butts one by one to express their loyalty to Li Zicheng.

"Let's all get up," Li Zicheng laughed, "Let's work together so together, why worry about no wealth in the future?" ”

"Rich?" Erdemutu thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Heavenly Mandate Khan, the villain understands, the Han people are rich, even if they suffer from natural and man-made disasters, as long as the time is not too long, they can survive, and we Mongolians have never had the habit of storing food, whether it is a white disaster or a black disaster, it will make the Mongolians shed their skin...... Villain...... The villain wants to lead his subordinates and join them in the Han nationality......"

"Han?" The venue suddenly seemed to be fried, and even Badasi, who had always been close to Li Zicheng, couldn't help shaking his head, this Erdemutu was simply crazy......

Li Zicheng coughed and suppressed the messy voice, "If you have anything to say, say it out loud, don't whisper below!" ”

A hundred household officials stood up, clasped their hands into fists, first saluted, and then said: "The Mongols have thousands of years of heritage, and the glory of Genghis Khan shines on us, why do you want to join the Han nationality?" Wouldn't it be nice to be brothers with the Han people as it is now? ”

"This brother is also right or wrong," Liu Tuanfu, the civil magistrate of Yonggu City, stood up, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted Li Zicheng first, and then to the people around him, "Mongolia is a glorious nation, however, before the rise of the Mongols, the powerful people in the steppe, first the Huns, and then the Turks, let me ask this brother, where are they now?" ”

“……”

"Everything is prosperous and must decline, the Mongols have risen since Genghis Khan, it has been hundreds of years, and it is almost inevitable to weaken, you look at the place where the Mongol ancestors were stationed, how much is really the territory of the Mongols? The Jurchens not only took Horqin, but also the entire Monan......"

"So what? Then we can't be attributed to the Han nationality......" Before Ji Rigala's words were finished, he was pulled by Badassi, who had already seen that the meeting convened by Li Zicheng today was to naturalize the Mongols.

For him Badasi, whether he belongs to the Han or the Mongols, that is just the inheritance of his ancestors, he can gallop freely on the grassland, he can get a lot of property, women, that is the most important thing, he decided to look at the limelight first.

Erdemutu said: "On the steppe, the Mongols are slaughtered everywhere, even if they do not become Han nationality today, they will be slaughtered by the Jurchens sooner or later," paused, and said: "This time I came to the big grass beach, only the Mongolians on the big grass beach will have a peaceful and peaceful situation, don't forget, the big grass beach was lent to us by the Han people, and they can take it ......back at any time."

Badasi and Jirigala didn't speak, and Erdemutu took the initiative to ask for Han nationality, how dare the officials of the hundred households say anything? The meeting was cold for a while.

At this moment, a personal soldier came in from outside, put his ear close to Li Zicheng, and said a few words, Li Zicheng suddenly got up, and said with a sudden change of color: "What, Su Tai fled with Erke Kongguo Erzhe?" When did this happen? ”

"Back to the Grand Governor, I should have fled in the morning, and our people did not find out until the evening, because they were not convinced, so they delayed reporting until now......

Li Zicheng took a sip of tea, suppressed the anger in his chest, waved his hand and let his soldiers go down first, and then looked around the room with his eyes, "It's really a white-eyed wolf that can't be raised, Ben Khan has provided them with such a good pasture...... I don't know the blessings in the blessings, and I think that Ben Khan has treated them badly......" paused, changed the topic, and said: "Regarding the matter of Chahar Mongolia's entry into Han nationality, if no one objects, then it will be decided!" ”

He looked gloomy, obviously very angry about Su Tai's departure, at such a moment, who would dare to touch the mold?

No one dared to do another round, let alone oppose it, Li Zicheng laughed secretly in his heart, he sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, and said slowly in a long tone: "Today Ben Khan will tell you a story, there are three tribes in the story, and their leaders are called Emperor Yan, Emperor and Chiyou!" ”

"The Yandi tribe fought against Chiyou, and as a result, they were defeated repeatedly, most of the troops were scattered, and they had to flee to the west and north, and later, Emperor Yan and the emperor joined forces, which defeated Chiyou and kept the ...... of the Central Plains."

Liu Tuanfu suddenly exclaimed: "My subordinates understand, this Yanhuang tribe is the ancestor of the Han people!" ”

"Tuanfu is right," Li Zicheng's face was still gloomy, obviously very angry about Erke Kongguoer's escape, "But do any of you know where the tribesmen who fled from the Yandi tribe fled later?" ”

"This ......"

Not only did the Mongolians not know, but there were many Han people in the room, who were also scratching their ears and cheeks, and couldn't find the answer for a while.

Li Zicheng was a little disappointed, these Han people in the room, are they all brainless, and they have to teach them little by little?

"Heavenly Mandate Khan, the villain knows," a Mongolian official suddenly stood up and said, "Could these people be the ancestors of the Mongols?" ”

"Clever!" Li Zicheng stretched out his thumb and praised, "Actually, not only the Mongols, but also the ancestors of the Turen, and the descendants of the Yandi tribe." ”

“……”

"Have you seen it, whether it is the Mongols, the Tu people or the Han people, they are all the same black hair, black eyes, and yellow skin, and the Semu people, including the Hui people, whether they are hair, eyes or skin, are obviously different from us," Li Zicheng said very slowly, giving the Mongols time to think, "If Emperor Yan had joined forces with the emperor earlier, then these people would not have to run away, and they would have stayed as Han Chinese, so today's Mongols have become Han nationality, not assimilated by the Han people, but returned home!" ”

"Home?" Even Erdemutu, who took the initiative to ask for naturalization, was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, "It turns out that the Mongols and the Han were originally brothers, but they have been separated for a longer time, and their words are different, Heavenly Destiny Khan, the villain is willing to be the first to go home!" ”

"Welcome home!" Li Zicheng's face finally showed a long-lost smile.

"We're going home!" Mongolia's thousands of officials and hundreds of officials all knelt down in front of Li Zicheng.

"Ben Khan, on behalf of the Mandate of Heaven, welcome you home," Li Zicheng got up and motioned for them to get up with both hands, "Ben Khan promises that as long as you follow Ben Khan, Ben Khan will definitely let you live a more prosperous life." ”

"Thank you Destiny Khan!"

Li Zicheng asked the officials of the hundred households to return to the camp and settle their respective subordinates, leaving only Gao Yigong, Erdemutu, Badaxi and Jirigala to further discuss the specific steps for naturalization into Han nationality.

said that it was a discussion, basically Li Zicheng was saying that they just had to go back and implement it.

On the side of Yonggu City in Dacaotan, it has been almost prepared, with Gao Yigong as the guerrilla general, commanding the tiger cavalry, and also holding the military and political power of Yonggu City, Badaxi and Jirigala are the officials of thousands of households around the left, and the following hundred household officials, general flag officers, and small flag officials have set up a framework.

Liu Tuanfu and Luo Busang were civil officials of Yonggu City, assisting Gao Yigong in managing the entire Dacaotan on weekdays, and collecting taxes from herdsmen.

The more difficult thing to do is the Erdemutu Department, Datong Mountain does not have such a flat and vast pasture as the big grass beach, the herdsmen graze, most of them wander in the valley, and it is impossible to settle down completely.

Li Zicheng thought about it and obtained the consent of Erdemutu, and decided to build an earthen city in the northwest of the triangle city, the place where the water and grass in the lower reaches of the Shaliu River were the most abundant, and it was called Shaliucheng in the name of the river, as the headquarters of the Erdemutu Department, and the rest of the tribes were scattered around the Tucheng.

The wolf cavalry still has to be developed, with Erdemutu as the guerrilla general, commanding the entire wolf cavalry, and under the guerrilla general, there are also left and right thousand household officials, hundred household officials, general flag officers and small flag officers.

The wolf cavalry was almost all Mongols, and Li Zicheng had to promote Chen Dahu and Yang Buxiong, the Han superintendents of Datong Mountain, to the civil affairs of Shaliucheng, and did not interfere in military affairs on weekdays, but the wolf cavalry went on the expedition, and they at least one person was assigned to accompany the army, as the staff officer of Erdemutu, and Erdemutu was still in charge of major affairs.

Li Zicheng gave the Mongolians in Dacaotan the surnames Gao, Lin, Li, and Liu, and the Mongolians in Datong Mountain the surnames Wang, Zhang, Chen, and Yang.
