Chapter 206: Recovering the Loop (11)
At a quarter past nine, Zhou Yuji finally saw the smoke and dust in the rear of the Mongolian army through the telescope, and he was overjoyed: "Beat the drums, the whole army will attack." “
The rapid sound of drums increased the courage of the Guards, who were fighting hard against the Mongol cavalry, and the last row of Guards soldiers began to mount their horses, ready to start the pursuit of the defeated Mongol army.
Seeing that the guards had suddenly stepped up their offensive, he didn't know what was going on, when his guards shouted, "Jinong, the Ming army is coming from behind." “
He turned his head to see that a Mongolian cavalry was burning behind the camp, and a group of Ming troops with fire guns were slowly approaching. He sighed in despair, yesterday he had already reconnoitred the surrounding sixty miles, and confirmed that only the south had Ming troops, so he would put all his troops into the battle, but he didn't expect that now there would be a team of Ming troops killed, where did these Ming troops come from?
He was a decisive person, and when he saw another Ming army coming, he knew that there was no way out. Today's plan is to save his life first, and then he said to the guards: "Mingjin collects the troops, let's go to Vazar Tucha Hancheng and ask the Great Khan, why no one came to rescue our Ordos Wanhu." “
The guard exclaimed: "If you withdraw at this time, I am afraid that the losses will be very large." “
He shook his head and said, "If you don't withdraw the army, the losses will be even greater, so let's run as much as you want." “
When the Mongols heard the signal to retreat, the situation of the two armies, which had been evenly matched, immediately turned around. The Mongols were already a little panicked when they saw that the enemy army had reinforcements coming, but when they heard that they were going to retreat, they naturally rushed to be the first.
In fact, the battle between the two armies did not cause many casualties, and the pursuit battle after the Mongol retreat caused a large number of casualties. The guards in the back row had already mounted their horses, and both men and horses were recuperating, so it was more than enough to chase and fight the Mongols for more than two hours.
The Guards followed behind the Mongols, occasionally attacking the stragglers with their muskets, some of whom were already exhausted and had to surrender on their knees. The Guards simply ignored them and simply continued to pursue.
Zhang Xinchen stared at the Erjin Phochen in front of him, if he could be captured here, then the recovery of Hetao would be more than half successful. Because the ostensible enemy in the recovery of the Hetao is the Ordos tribe, in fact, the real enemy is all the Mongol tribes. If he let Erjin Ephraim flee to Lin Dan Khan, Lin Dan Khan might be forced to have a big battle with Da Ming under pressure, which is not what Da Ming wants to see.
The subordinates of the Sons of the Guards of the Guards of Zhang Xinchen himself always took the most elite guards to follow him.
The number of people on both sides was getting smaller and smaller, but the horses brought by Zhang Xinchen did not decrease too much, although the Mongols' riding skills were a little stronger than that of the guards, but the horsepower was limited, and finally when it was getting late, the mount of the Son of the Son of the Son of the Elder fell to the ground with a cry of sorrow.
His guards quickly lifted him up from his horse and set him up on another, slightly stronger-looking horse. He shook his hand and said, "Forget it, it's still so far from Chahar, it's impossible for us to escape." “
His henchman said: "Jinong alone with a few horses, we are here to resist the Ming army." “
He sighed and said: "It's useless to divide the troops to obstruct, there are many of them, and they are good at foot combat, so that our horses will be fewer and fewer, but their horses will not be fewer, but there will be fewer people riding horses, how can we win with such horsepower?" In that case, there is no point in fleeing, so it's better to surrender. “
At this time, Zhang Xinchen was not far from them, and seeing that the Mongols did not seem to want to flee anymore, the Ming army quickly surrounded them. He didn't look at the Ming army's firearms, and said to Zhang Xinchen: "It seems that I still have some effect on you, if you agree to my conditions, I can also cooperate with you." “
Zhang Xinchen said with a smile: "We originally came to cooperate with Jinong, please Jinong get on the horse, and we will escort Jinong back to the tribe." As for the conditions, please go and talk to our General Zhou. “
Zhou Yuji was relieved to see that Zhang Xinchen had come back with his son, Erjin and Ephochen. There is not much of a problem with the negotiation with Ordos, but if he is allowed to escape, then the Ming army will be very passive.
He was escorted to Zhou Yuji, and Zhang Xinchen said: "This is our General Zhou, what conditions do you have to say." “
"First of all, I must ensure the safety of my family and property, and secondly, return my troops to me, and I can guarantee that I will not invade the Great Wall again." The third is that I can allow the Han Chinese to cultivate the land suitable for farming, but half of their income must be handed over to me. “
Xue Boling looked at him like an idiot. Wang Zuomin smiled and did not speak. Zhou Yuji thought for a while and said, "If you do what we say, we can guarantee the safety of you and your family." As for the property, it's not that I can't give you back some of it, but you don't have to think about the troops. “
Erjin Ephochen said angrily: "You dare to attack the Ordos Department, the tribe of Alatan Khan, the tribe of the descendants of the Golden Family. I don't care about you because of your emperor's face, and you have to make an inch. When the Great Khan knows about this, I, the 400,000 Mongolian men who control the strings, will inevitably turn your Central Plains into our pastures. Whatever you want me to do, I won't say yes. “
Zhou Yuji said with a smile: "Listening to Jinong's tone, it seems that Jinong won this battle. My emperor asked you to give up the Hetao, the land of our ancestors, and your Lin Dan Khan personally said that he wanted us to take it for ourselves. Now that we've taken it from ourselves, do you think your Great Khan will go to war with the Ming for this? Do you think you'll win if you go to war? “
Wang Zuomin said: "When Emperor Taizu expelled you, there were more than 400,000 people who controlled the strings. “
Zhou Yuji said: "We asked Jinong to make a statement that he was willing to break away from the Mongols and become a part of the Ming Dynasty. If you can, your majesty the emperor is willing to make Jinong the Marquis of Shunyi, the land of Yongzhen Hetao. “
At that time, Alatan Khan was the fourth ancestor of the Erjin Phosphant, and was named the king of Shunyi by the Ming Dynasty, and now the Ming Dynasty is willing to crown him as the Marquis of Shunyi, which is already very good.
