Wei Junru said with a smile: "Lin Dan Khan has returned to the Ming Dynasty, and then Lin Dan Khan subdued you, so you are also a vassal of the Ming Dynasty, so of course Khalkha is the territory of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Zasaktu Khan said: "Now that Lin Dan Khan has been defeated, of course we no longer recognize him as the Mongol co-ruler, so how can his submission to the Ming Dynasty represent us?" ”

Wei Junru said with a smile: "Listen to what Zasaktu Khan means, you are ready to make a judgment against you." ”

Zasaktu Khan laughed and said, "If you have never been obedient, how can you betray?" ”

Wei Junru said with a smile: "Since that's the case, it's no wonder to me, fire." ”

The sound of dense firecrackers sounded, and the smile that had not yet disappeared was planted on the ground, his Jinong's face was full of disbelief, even Lin Dan Khan did not dare to kill him after defeating Zasaktu Khan, and he had to leave him to manage his own people, this mercenary leader of the Ming Dynasty actually killed Zasaktu Khan directly.

Dai Bingyang had already led his subordinates to kill the rear of the Khalkha Ministry, and the Ming army shouted: "Don't kill if you dismount, don't kill if you dismount." "It's all shouted in Mongolian, and after coming for so long, Mongolian is already very proficient.

Zasaktu Khan's subordinates, who had already suffered a loss from the mercenaries, naturally knew the power of the firecrackers, and soon many knights dismounted, but they didn't know what the mercenaries would do with their own group in the end, so the saber was still in their hands.

Wei Junru asked the soldiers to shout: "Han and Mongolia are friendly, if they surrender, they are Ming Mongols, and priority will be given to pastures." The constant shouting of the soldiers soon relieved the Khalkhas, and some dropped their sabers and knelt on the ground to sign surrender.

The 10,000 Ming army "surrounded" more than 20,000 Khalkhas, nearly 20,000 surrendered, and the rest were basically killed. Wei Junru brought Zasaktu Khan's Jinong Feiqimi and said, "Your brother betrayed the Ming Dynasty and deserved it, I want you to temporarily manage his old department, are you willing?" ”

Fechmi was shocked by the Ming army's clean killing of Zasaktu Khan, so he chose to surrender cleanly, and naturally he would not face the Ming army at this time, so he said: "I am willing to help the general manage." ”

Wei Junru said with a smile: "Your choice is correct, we will soon occupy the old land of Zasaktu, and then you will become the new Khan of the Khalkha people here." ”

Fichmi said: "Then thank you for the general's care." But he thought in his heart, if Lin Dan Khan didn't talk about him, it would be impossible for Tushetu Khan and Chechen Khan to watch the Ming army occupy Zasaktu Khan's territory, at most a month, no, half a month The army would be killed. Although the Ming army had powerful firearms, it was too small in number after all, so how could it resist the 100,000 army of the two khans.

After Wei Junru waited for him to leave, he immediately called the guards, wrote a letter hastily, sealed it, and said: "You take two people, one person and three horses, and quickly deliver the letter to the place where the railway arrives, and tell them that 100,000 is urgent, and it will be delivered to the nearest person who can make the decision." ”

When the guards finally saw the railroad after three days, he asked the soldier in charge of protecting the construction of the railway, "Who is in charge of the work nearby?" ”

The soldier said: "It's Chen Shilang of the Ministry of War, but he just went to naturalization, and I heard that Master Lu came to check the progress of railway construction today, so he went to naturalization to greet him." ”

The guard breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Change my horse, I'm going to naturalize, and by the way, get some food and water." ”

After running for a long time, he finally arrived at naturalization, and the moment he saw Lu Xiangsheng, he was relieved, he couldn't support it anymore, and fell off the horse.

Lu Xiangsheng's entourage hurriedly helped him up, and a pot of water poured it in, and the guards finally opened their eyes. He took out the letter from the bag on his chest and said, "One hundred thousand urgent, please submit it to the bachelor." ”

Lu Xiangsheng first asked his entourage to take the guards to rest, and then opened the letter and read it. He said to Bai Jiansen: "Take out the map." ”

He looked at the map, and then asked Chen Shilang of the military department: "Where has the railway been repaired?" ”

Chen Shilang said: "Five hundred miles away from naturalization. ”

Lu Xiangsheng asked again: "What are the troops nearby?" ”

Bai Jiansen said: "There is a division of Xue Boling in Linhe, more than 400 miles away, and there is a division of Zhang Xinchen in Liangcheng, which is 200 miles away, which is the nearest two troops. ”

"How many soldiers are there in Naturalization City?"

Bai Jiansen said: "Brigade Commander Zhao Shuncheng's troops are naturalized, but the number is too small, and they still have to protect the naturalization." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "The naturalization side is safe for the time being, and an order was issued to order Zhao Shuncheng to lead a brigade and quickly rush to Mobei to support Wei Junru and Dai Bingyang." Division Commander Zhang Xinchen quickly rushed to the north to support after naturalization, and those who could use the train took the train. A division was transferred from Beijing to be naturalized and on standby. In addition, he ordered Xue Boling's troops to move north, contain the forces of Mobei Khalkha, and enter Mobei. First, let the horses gather at the Colorful Station and wait for the arrival of the Guards. ”

Bai Jiansen said: "Chief of Staff, is this going to start an all-out war with Mobei?" Shepherding has officially begun? ”

Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile: "Lin Dan Khan attacked the mercenaries and has fled. Zasaktu Khan tried in vain to betray the Ming Dynasty, and has been killed by Wei Junru, and I don't know what the other two Khans do, we must first prepare for the total rebellion of Mobei. Chief of Staff Xingwen Xiong reported the situation to His Majesty, asking His Majesty to allow the General Staff to carry out a sheep herding operation to solve the northern crisis in one fell swoop. ”

Bai Jiansen said excitedly: "Chief of Staff, the subordinate officer has asked to join the northbound troops. ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "Let's wait for the troops of the Beijing Division to come to naturalization, don't worry, Your Majesty said that you will fight to the Ural Mountains, and there will be a time for you to fight." You are quick-witted and resourceful, but you actually have a better future in the General Staff. ”

Bai Jiansen said: "They always laugh at me with Xiao Zhuge and say that I have not participated in a single actual battle, and I am a Zhuge on paper, and I am always unsteady in my heart." ”

Lu Xiangsheng said: "I started the sheep herding operation in advance here, I can only mobilize a small number of troops, if you want the army to enter Mobei, you must be approved by the emperor, and then you will make achievements for the adjutant with a brigade, and they will no longer laugh at you." ”

After Zhao Shuncheng received the order to support Wei Junru, he immediately assembled his team and set off by train two days later. On the morning of the third day, we arrived at the Colorful Station, which is now the first station of the Jingxiao Railway, where a large number of horses have already gathered. The soldiers, one man and one horse, took supplies and ammunition and headed out for the desert.

The guide took them on the Saiyin Shanda route, which avoided the desert, and the Gobi was at least a little better than the desert, and the horses could find some turf to gnaw on when the troops were resting, which was better than nothing. The supplies of the Ming army were abundant, not only for people, but also for horses and beans, and there was no non-combat attrition along the way, starting from Guihua City, on the eleventh day Zhao Shuncheng finally arrived at the destination.
