Chapter 266: The Desert of Shepherd Operation, Southern Mongolia

Lin Dan Khan fled to the west with his subordinates, and after getting rid of Dai Bingyang's department, he rectified the remnants and left only more than 8,000 people. He did not dare to return to Chahar's hometown, so he continued westward until he stopped at the Yonggu City of Dacaotan.

Along the way, he collected the defeated troops, and captured the small tribes that passed by, and by the time he arrived at Yonggu City, he already had more than 20,000 people. When Man Gui got the news, he prepared to expel him, but an order came from the emperor in the capital, ordering him not to ignore Lin Dan Khan unless he dared to offend the border.

At this time, the Mongolian ministries had undergone great changes. Horqin Minister Oba, Inner Khalkha Minister Fried Flowers, and Alu Korqin Chegen Khan sent envoys together to ask the Ming to be attached.

Attached is to invite yourself to descend and return to the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Youxiao naturally had no reason to disappoint it, he named these three as Jinong, and still managed the original territory, and they were not allowed to attack each other. All ministries collect taxes according to the standard of 50 taxes and 1, and half of them are handed over to Jinong. and allowed these three to trade with the Ming Dynasty in a full-fledged manner, not limited to trading through the horse market.

This kind of treatment is not comparable to the opening of the horse market, the horse market will limit the type and quantity of goods traded, while the full trade is not restricted, and the Mongols can also form their own caravans to come to the Central Plains to do business with the Han people, buy back whatever they want to buy and the Ming are willing to sell.

The biggest reason why the nomads invaded the border was actually to demand trade with the Central Plains. Originally, there were some disagreements within the three departments, but this preferential policy of the Ming Dynasty quickly dispelled the dissatisfaction of this small number of people, and they were able to enter the Central Plains at will, so it was not so important whether it was attached or not.

At this time, the Chahar tribes between the Ming Dynasty and the three ministries were a little embarrassed. When Lin Dan Khan went to Mobei, he took away the elite of Chahar, and then turned against Daming in Mobei, and was defeated by Daming and there was no news. Da Ming unexpectedly did not attack the weakened Chahar department, nor did he surrender, but only closed all the horse markets with Chahar, as if they did not exist.

Lin Dan Khan's eldest son, Erke Kongor, stayed behind in the Chahar tribe, and in this situation, he did not understand what the Ming was planning, so he went to ask his mother, Yehnara Sutai. Su Tai was the third concubine of Lin Dan Khan, who was in charge of the ears (palace tents) of the ten thousand households of Hana Tumen, and she said: "This situation is very clear, and the Ming Dynasty wants us to beg them and ask for submission ourselves." ”

Erke Kongol asked, "Then, in my mother's opinion, what should we do in the Chahar department?" ”

Su Tai said: "If in my opinion as a woman, the Ming Dynasty destroyed Jianzhou and avenged my revenge for Yehe, I am naturally willing to submit." For example, in terms of the overall situation, your father has been defeated, and Chahar is now surrounded by enemies, and his elite has been lost, and there is no other way out except to submit to him. But make up your own mind, or ask the old people of the Etok to see what they think. ”

Erke Kongol can have any opinions, he went to the Etok to ask the ministers' opinions, everyone just said that life is sad now, there are enemies on all sides, and after the Ming Dynasty closed the horse market, the daily supplies in the tribes are also very short. But no one first proposed to submit to the Ming Dynasty, just that the Great Khan was not there, and of course Taiji was in charge.

On weekdays, why don't you think of him, a young Taiji, but now they need a person with a top cylinder. As long as they say that they will submit to the Ming Dynasty, of course they will not object, and they will be very happy, anyway, the infamy will be attributed to themselves.

But Erke Kongol also knows that if this continues, the Chahar Department will not be able to hold on, maybe the Ming Dynasty will instigate Nekharkha to attack the Chahar Department, and the fried flowers have been suppressed by his father Khan for a long time, and he has long had a grudge in his heart, and he will never let go of such an opportunity.

So three months after the Ming Dynasty closed the horse market, Erke Kongol and Su Tai led the Chahar troops to surrender. Seeing the surrender table of the Chahar Department, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "It's not honest, why don't you bring the jade seal of the country." ”

Xu Guangqi said: "Your Majesty, please surrender to the Chahar Department, then it will be approved first, as for the jade seal of the country, maybe Lin Dan Khan will take it away?" ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Let's get it first." Xuan Dai spring breeze comes. ”

After Dai Chunfeng left Luzon, he walked around the Strait of Malacca, and spent more than a year to find out the situation of various forces. Then he made another trip to Goa, spent several months in several states around Goa, and after returning to Beijing, handed over information about Malacca and Goa to the General Staff.

Lu Xiangsheng was amazed at the detail and prudence of this information, praised him greatly, and reported it to the emperor. Colonel Zhu You promoted Dai Chunfeng to rear admiral, and promoted the Military Survey and Statistics Bureau to one level lower than Jinyiwei.

After Dai Chunfeng came in, Zhu Youxiao said: "It is said that the jade seal of the country is in the Chahar department, but I don't know if it is in the hands of Lin Dan Khan or in the hands of Sutai, you go to Chahar and bring the jade seal of the country back to me." ”

Dai Chunfeng knelt down and said, "The minister must bring back the jade seal of the country to present to Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "I believe that you will not disappoint me. If you need to cooperate, you can go to discuss with Commander Luo, and the information can be taken at will. ”

Dai Chunfeng was overjoyed, the Military Survey and Statistics Bureau has been developing in the south and the navy, and the intelligence in Mongolia is still blank, since the emperor has issued such an edict, then the Mongolian intelligence of Jinyiwei must always leave a copy of the Military Statistics Bureau.

Zhu Youxiao said: "I will give you three months for this matter, and Zhenyuan will send troops to Malacca in four months, and then your Military Survey and Statistics Bureau will be his eyes, and you must go back to the South China Sea to assist the Zhenyuan fleet." ”

After Dai Chunfeng left, Lu Xiangsheng said: "This son's future is limitless." ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "When I study, I am extremely hardworking, my memory is good, my observation is strong, my energy is strong, and it is common for me to do things for a few days and nights without rest. It's just a little bit, a little. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Young man, it's normal to be lustful, as long as you don't delay your business." And I believe that if His Majesty orders him to kill anyone now, I am afraid that he will carry it out without blinking an eye. It is the duty to be loyal, but there are really few people who are loyal to this point. ”

Zhu Youxiao understood what Lu Xiangsheng meant, so he smiled and said: "I know that he is a good knife, and I will use him carefully, you can rest assured, Chunfeng is a person who values love, I give him a chance, of course he will be loyal to me." As for the Military Survey and Statistics Bureau, although it was established by him, he did not want to take it into his own hands. Last time, he told me that when the Bureau of Statistics was almost completed, he wanted to enter the navy and become a regular naval officer. ”
