Text Volume 3 The Road to Empire_Chapter 711 Protect the Adult
Nan Chu couldn't care about how much sincerity there was in what Hazar said, since even these principals around him could draw a clear line with him face to face, it was conceivable what kind of choice those troops outside would make.
In the final analysis, this rebellion also happened suddenly, if it weren't for the fact that Yuan Chonghuan was executed in public, which triggered the jealousy and self-preservation of these Mongol Nayans, he would not have been able to coerce them to rebel against the Ming Dynasty.
And the henchmen of Gonchuktaiji and the subordinates of Princess Taining were also angry for a while, if Yuan Chonghuan was directly taken down that night or killed on the spot, they had no way back and could only follow themselves to the end.
However, because of the slow movements and disobedience of these Mongol Nayans, Yuan Chonghuan fled from the city. By this time, the anger in the hearts of these Mongol generals had receded, and reason began to return.
When they were angry, these Mongolian generals naturally ignored it, and only thought about finding Yuan Chonghuan for revenge. But when reason returns, they have to think about their future and their families.
As long as you are not a fool, you can see that the life of the Manchurians is not easy now, after the formation of the northern defense line of the Ming Dynasty, the Manchus are confined to Liaodong and cannot come out, and it is difficult to threaten the core area of the Daming Pass.
The surrender of the Zhenglan Banner in the Battle of Uiju set a precedent for the surrender of the Eight Banners formed troops. Although the surrender of the Zhenglan Banner was not entirely a war factor, it also had a great deal to do with the political struggle among the Manchus.
But no matter how you explain it, after the Battle of Yizhou, the Manchus and the Ming entered a stage of stalemate, and neither side dared to start a war easily. A stalemate between a small country with a thin population like the Manchurians and the Ming Dynasty, which has a very large population and territory, is the beginning of failure no matter how you look at it.
This is also the reason why Gunchuktaiji and Shenyang kept in touch at the beginning, but after all, they did not dare to raise their banners and openly rebel against Ming, because everyone could not see that the Manchurians had any chance of winning in this battle.
Everyone didn't think much about it when they took revenge for Gunchuktaiji, but when it came time to choose to move to Liaodong, many people began to worry about whether they had jumped into the fire pit at this time.
The hesitation of these Mongols was not a big problem in Nanchu's opinion, as long as they were taken to Liaodong, their hesitation would be slowly eliminated after all. But who would have thought that Zhang Jia Living Buddha would appear outside the city?
Inspired by religious beliefs, ordinary soldiers would certainly not raise their swords to the living Buddha. As the bloodline of the Golden Family, Ezhe naturally has political appeal to these Chahars.
Originally, the hesitation and worry in the hearts of these Mongolian generals became the most powerful weapon of the Ming people. So the other party only used a few promises to pull these wavering Mongols over, and Nan Chu was also helpless about it.
Since his plan had failed, he thought about preserving himself first, and retreated from Chahanhot. If these Mongols were able to betray the Ming people once, they would naturally have a second time, and he didn't think that he would not find such an opportunity next time.
The only thing that makes him regret is that if he had known that Zhang Jia Living Buddha and Ezhe were outside the city, then he would have taken some people to relocate first, instead of trying to empty the entire Chahanhot, which made the situation completely reversed.
After thinking for a long time, Nan Chu said to these Mongolian faces: "The matter has come to this, and I have nothing to say.
But do you really plan to do things to the end, and want to leave me to give to the Ming people, and settle an undying enmity with me in the Qing Dynasty?
Let's not say that the victory or defeat between my Qing Dynasty and the Ming Kingdom is still between the two sides, give me to the Ming people, what benefits can you leave behind? I have memorized everything you have done these days, so you are not afraid that I will break up? β
Although Na Yan, who has a short temper, thinks in his heart, they don't actually have to hand over a living person, and a dead person who can't speak can also be used as evidence. However, Desen Jinwang, who was in charge, did not speak, and they still kept quiet.
For Nan Chu's threat, Desen Jinwang is not unscrupulous. As for killing Nan Chu and handing over a corpse to the Ming people, only the simplest reckless man would do this. The Ming people will think that they will kill people and kill their mouths, and the Manchu side will also treat them as undying enemies, which is equivalent to offending both parties at once, so he will never do such things, of course, if someone is willing to do it for him, he will not stop it.
"It's a pityβ" He looked at his companions, and realized that there was really no such stupid person around him. After being silent for a moment, Desen Jinwang pondered his tone and said: "Why should the envoy of Nanchu be so angry, the emperor has always been lenient and benevolent, after Amin Belle, Du Du Belle and others arrived in the Ming Dynasty, they all had to be entrusted by the emperor, even if you go to the capital, you don't have to worry about what bad will happen..."
Nan Chu has been doing diplomatic work to win over the Mongolian tribes under Huang Taiji, so naturally he will not be moved by a few clumsy words from Desen Jinwang. He raised his hand to interrupt the other party's persuasion and said, "Let's make it clear." You let us go, and we will meet again in the future, we will still be friends.
But if you insist on leaving me behind, I won't be restrained. It's just that in the future, you don't want the Qing Dynasty to accept you again, are you so convinced that the Ming people don't come to you to settle accounts, and don't plan to leave a way back for yourself? β
Desen Jinwang finally stopped, although they were now standing on the position of Da Ming again, but in their hearts, as Nan Chu said, they were extremely worried that Ming would settle this account with them later. This is also a kind of psychology of all capricious people who always like to leave room for things to cope with the recurrence of situations.
Desen Jinwang and a few Nayan couldn't speak for a long time, at this time, the soldiers outside suddenly came to report that the court angel, Zhangjia Living Buddha and the young master of the Chahar tribe, Ezhe, were entering Chahanhot from the south gate under the protection of the army and tribes outside the city, and the troops in the city were rushing to the south gate to greet them, and several generals stationed in the fort sent people to ask, what should they do next?
Seeing that the Mongols in the hall were in a mess after hearing the news, Nan Chu gave a look to the Hazar people around him, and quietly turned around and exited the hall. Although Desen Jinwang watched Nan Chu walk out, he didn't make a sound to intercept him after all.
The equally sharp-eyed Yan beside him couldn't help but whisper in his ear, "Just let them go?" Do you want to send someone..."
This Nayan gestured to wipe his neck, and Desen Jinwang slowly shook his head and replied: "Forget it, let's let him go." There is a meeting in the mountains and rivers, he said it well, there is no need to do things absolutely. I will tell you later, and I will say that the envoys sent by the Manchu people to collude with Gunchuk Taiji have taken advantage of the chaos to escape, and they must not leak their mouths in front of the Ming people..."
When Nan Chu fled from the east gate of Chahanhot with Hazar and others, there were less than 100 soldiers who followed them, and more than a dozen of them were Mongolian followers he brought from Shenyang.
After leaving the city, Nan Chu urged his mount to run more than 2 miles to the east in one go, and only stopped in front of a wood. He glanced back at the city behind him, and was relieved to see that there were no troops chasing after him in the city.
With a golden halo shining in the sun, Chahanhot looks like a heavenly city, but Nan Chu's mood is as frustrated as the withered forest around him.
Since he came out to work for Tiancong Khan, it was not once or twice that he went to the Mongol tribes single-handedly, and he had never encountered such a big setback. In the past, he thought that it was all because of his eloquence and the skill of discerning people's hearts that he could achieve such great feats.
But today he realized that he seemed to have made a mistake. No matter how superb his eloquence and skill in discerning people's hearts are, they will not be able to play a role without the backing of a powerful Qing dynasty.
In the past, the reason why the leaders of the Mongol tribes were willing to listen to him was not because they were impressed by his eloquence, but because they were afraid of the Qing army behind him, which repeatedly defeated the Ming army and Lin Dan Khan.
When the Qing Dynasty's martial arts were not enough to sweep the Ming and Mongolians, these Mongol chiefs had many choices, and refusing his persuasion became one of the options. After all, diplomacy is based on national strength, not on individual talent.
After Nan Chu realized this in his heart, he turned his horse's head and shouted loudly to the people around him: "Let's go, let's go back to Liaodong first, we will settle this account with them in the future..."
"Where do you want to go? I think it's better to stay, I'm afraid the Governor will be glad to see you. Xie Shangzheng and more than 100 cavalry suddenly came out from behind the hillside in front of the woods, and shouted at these fleeing Mongols with great satisfaction.
Although Liu Jingting and others successfully won the soldiers in the city to change their positions, Liu Jingting felt that the Nayan people in the city would not hand over the principals of the rebellion, so he sent Xie Shangzheng with more than 100 horsemen to guard outside the east gate to see if he could catch some rebel generals who fled alone.
Xie Shangzheng didn't expect his luck to be so good, a team of people actually came out, and seeing that the opponent's number was less than two-thirds of his own, he directly led the team out of the ambush site, ready to intercept the opponent head-on.
As a result, before he could give the order to attack, one of the Mongols in the opposing team suddenly shouted: "You quickly take Lord Nanchu and flee first, and I will stop these Mingren." β
When Xie Shangzheng was surprised by the courage of this Mongolian, he saw that the other party's team was divided into two, the one with the larger number of people turned around and fled to the south of the woods with the so-called Lord Nanchu, and the so-called Mongolian who was about to break off fled to the grassland in the north with the rest of the people without hesitation.
Xie Shangzheng just watched for a while, and was attracted by the Lord Nanchu, and he immediately said to his subordinates: "Go and chase the team in the south, don't worry about the north..."
At this time, Nan Chu, who was surrounded by his subordinates and fled to the south, looked back at the movement in the rear, and cursed with great hatred in his heart: "What an iron-clad Mongolian man, what kind of thing does Gonchuk Taiji use, such a person also wants to do something big, it's really a waste..."
