Since the Mongols have sworn that they will not rebel again, Rasuri was originally only a commander of a thousand commanders, but now he has become a tribal leader, and he has also been named a thousand households in Jinyi, so he is naturally complacent. He led the Ming army to a shallow place, and after Man Gui confirmed that it matched Jinyiwei's intelligence, he ordered the army to start crossing the river. Zhao Shuncheng led a brigade of soldiers as the vanguard, preparing to deal with the Mongolian cavalry that might appear on the other side of the river, but found that no one came at all, and said with a smile: "The humble post has brought out all the troops of the Urat tribe, and now there are no soldiers in the tribe." ”

After crossing the river to rest, the Ming army took out their own dry food and invited the Mongols to eat, and the Mongols almost ate their tongues together. It turned out that some unwilling people felt that this surrender was indeed the wisest decision in Rasu.

The Ming army was fascinated by the scenery along the way, the weeping willows on the roadside were sending tender buds, and the neat paddy fields were full of seedlings. Everyone thinks this is not scientific, isn't it from the grassland, how did it become Jiangnan now?

Sun Fumin sighed: "Plugging the south of the Yangtze River really deserves its reputation." ”

Zhao Shuncheng said: "I grew up in the north, and I never thought that there would be such a scenery in a place farther north than our home, which is really beautiful." ”

Rasuri had already sent someone to the tribe first to inform the tribal leader, that is, his father, who knew that his son had become a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, and welcomed the arrival of the Ming army very warmly, and ordered his subordinates to kill cattle and sheep to entertain the Ming army. Man Gui knew the importance of cattle and sheep to the herdsmen at this time, so he let him slaughter only ten cows and a hundred sheep, and promised to steal cattle and sheep from other tribes that were unwilling to surrender and give them to the Urad tribe.

Ye Shu should be overjoyed and said: "Our Utra tribe is divided into four parts, I am only the leader of one part, go to the northeast, the leader there Huitra has always hated the Han people, and there are many Han people in the river who are bullied by them, you can attack them, then you will get a lot of cattle and sheep." ”

Man Gui looked at a Han man beside him and asked, "Has Huitra been abusing you all along?" ”

The Han people are the leaders of Linhe, and it is said that they are the leaders, which is just a nice saying, but they are actually the leaders of the slaves of the Han people in Linhe. They have been captured and forced to farm during the Mongol invasion of the border, and some have been going through generations. Zhang Siqi has lived in Linhe since his grandfather, he is fair, and usually works hard to get some benefits for the Han people from the Mongolians, so he is promoted by the Han people in Linhe as the principal.

Zhang Siqi said: "Among the four tribes of Utra, Huitra is the most vicious to the Han people, and he often abducts beautiful Han women, and the Han people hate this fang. ”

Man Gui said: "That Huitra can die, even if he surrenders, he must find an opportunity to kill him." ”

Zhang Siqi said: "He won't surrender, his sister is married to Jinong's son, how can he surrender." ”

Zhang Fumin said with a smile: "It's better not to surrender, there are always some people who want to be all kinds of people." It's a good look in the speed, and a bad look is let this Huitra do it, and no comparison will make some people feel that the Ming army is weak and can be bullied. ”

Man Gui nodded with satisfaction, and Shu should have nodded more satisfied. He and Huitra have always been at odds, and the two tribes have been at odds over the distribution of pastures and farming items along the river, and now the Ming people can help them kill Huitra, and their tribe can grow stronger. Thinking of this, he was even more satisfied with Rasuli, this son is really his own lucky star.

The next day the Guards rested. Mangui appointed Zhang Siqi as quartermaster of the Northwest Guards, which was a reluctant method, because he had no authority to appoint local officials, and could only regard Linhe as an institution such as the Tuntian Guard, and his authority could only appoint quartermasters who did not need to participate in battles in their military ranks.

All the Han people in the entire Linhe became free men, and all the cultivated land belonged to the Northwest Military Region. Zhang Siqi temporarily led them to continue farming, and all the harvest went to the Northwest Military Region, but the Northwest Military Region provided them with the food they needed, and promised to give them priority to distributing their fields after the Hetao was fully recovered.

On the third day, the army began to march eastward, and abandoned fields were everywhere along the way. "Only Han Chinese can farm, and there are so few Han Chinese here that you don't see anyone except for the occasional shepherd who comes here for small grazing," Rasuri explains. ”

Man Gui saw this boundless flat land, thinking that the Han people here had built the south of the Yangtze River for more than 100 years and was dilapidated like this, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Sure enough, what His Majesty the Emperor said is right, you Mongolians only know how to destroy, not build." ”

"General, we Mongolians can actually build it, but we can only graze cattle and build yurts. ”

Sun Fumin said: "The land of the Hetao, the land of farming let us build, let you come to the matter of grazing, everyone takes what they need, how good it is to exchange goods with each other, why do you always want to rob us of things?" ”

Lasuli said with some shame: "We often encounter white plagues or something when we are grazing, and we have no food, so of course we can only rob the Han people." However, the little one is also a Ming man now, so naturally he will not do it again. ”

Sun Fumin looked at him as he took it for granted, shook his head, but didn't say anything more. He thought, if you kill those who are not satisfied, there will naturally be fewer Mongols, so they will not lack food, so won't it be too peaceful? It's just that the emperor won't agree to kill people like this, should you let the Manchu generals suggest to the emperor that the warriors of the Mongols be recruited into the Ming Guard, to capture more land, and by the way, to consume their population?

In the afternoon, they came to the tribe of Huitra, who had already received the news and was waiting for the Ming army with about three thousand men. He looked at the Ming army all over the mountains, and his ambition suddenly turned into bitterness, how could he fight so many people.

The Ming army shouted "surrender and don't kill" as usual, but the voice seemed so careless, as if they hoped that these Mongols would just listen to it and not take it seriously. Huitra plucked up his courage and said: "The Han people are all bad races, we Mongolians can beat ten Han people in one piece, rush me!" ”

Generally speaking, generals who shouted "rush me" are always inferior to those who shouted "charge with me", and more than 10,000 Ming troops with firearms defeated 3,000 Mongols with bows and arrows, in fact, only one charge, and it was a Mongol charge. After Sun Fumin cut off the head of Huitra, Rasuli stepped forward and said: "The Ming army does not kill the Mongols who surrendered, so you brothers should surrender." Just listening to this tone, it is impossible to tell that he is just a Mongol who has just surrendered.
