"Let him in!"

Baturhun noticed the reaction of those generals, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, it seemed that these generals wanted to surrender, so he said expressionlessly.

"Little princess?"

Just when Baturhun was secretly thinking about how to deal with the messenger sent by Li Hongyu, the door of the sweat tent opened, and the messenger of Daming walked in quickly.

The messenger who came was none other than Baturhun's little princess Saren Tana, including Baturhun, everyone did not expect that Saren Tana would be the messenger of the Ming Dynasty.

All the generals here are all high-ranking generals of the Junggar Ministry, and naturally they know Sarena, except for Baran, the rest of the people thought that she was married to the Heshute Department and went to the relatives, so they naturally did not think that Sarena would become the messenger of the Ming army.

"I've seen Abba." Seeing that Baturhun and the others were safe and sound, Sarentana finally let go of a hanging heart, and stepped forward to bow to the stunned Baturhun.

"Saren, why are you here?" Baturhun came back to his senses and asked in surprise, Sarentana's appearance was really unexpected.

"Abba, my daughter was entrusted by Daming Li University to be a lobbyist." Hearing this, Saren Tana looked at Baturhun seriously and said.

"Lobbyist?" Baturhun had already guessed Sarentana's intention and knew that she was here to persuade her to surrender, but he didn't expect to use the word "lobbyist".

"Scholar Li said that now that the victory and defeat have been decided, there is no need for Abba to cause casualties for the sake of a momentary will, as long as Abba is attached to the Khan's court, then his previous letter to Abba will still be valid."

Sarentana bowed slightly, she actually heard the word "lobbyist" for the first time, it was Li Hongyu who deliberately ordered him to say this, which sounded much better than "persuasion", and it was easier for Baturhun to accept.

"Letters?" Hearing this, the senior generals at the scene, including Balan, couldn't help but look at each other in amazement, they didn't know about the letter.

"Did Scholar Lee really say that?" Hearing this, Batur couldn't help but light up in front of him, suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked in a deep voice to Sarentana, Li Hongyu gave him very generous treatment in the letter.

In fact, Baturhun naturally believed Sarentana's words, after all, Sarentana was his daughter, so he naturally wouldn't lie to him, but after all, he was the Great Khan of the Dzungar Ministry, so he naturally had to maintain his bearing and demeanor for the matter of "annexation".

"This matter is true, it was Scholar Li who said it to his daughter personally."

Hearing this, Saren Tana nodded, and said to Baturhun, "Abba, Scholar Li said that Mongolia in the world is originally a family, and instead of fighting and killing everyone, everyone has no good life, it is better to belong to the Khan's court and unify the world, so that there will be less senseless fighting and killing." ”

The senior generals present looked at Baturhun when they heard this, and felt that what Li Hongyu said did have some truth, Baturhun wanted to unify Moxi, didn't it also want everyone to live a comfortable life?

Moreover, since Scholar Li and Saren Tana seem to have a close relationship, it must not be a bad treatment to their Dzungar Ministry.

"Saren, you've been staying with Scholar Li and serving him since you ran away from the marriage?" Baturhun didn't know what everyone was thinking, so he asked quietly after a deep sigh.

"Hmm."

Sarentana naturally told the truth, anyway, it was not a secret, and after nodding to Baturhun, he said, "According to my daughter, Scholar Li is a man of his word, and Abba doesn't have to worry about him going back." ”

Hearing this, the senior generals present at the scene couldn't help but glance at each other, with meaningful looks in their eyes.

The corners of Baturhun's mouth flashed with a subtle smile, what he said just now was deliberate, the point was not to confirm that Saren Tana had escaped from marriage, but to clarify the relationship between the two, and the word "service" made people think about it.

In Moxi Mongolia, like the relationship between Saren Tana and Li Hongyu, it is natural that Sarentana wants to serve Li Hongyu, so that Sarentana will become Li Hongyu's woman, and he will invisibly make peace with Li Hongyu, so that he will have a step to belong to.

Where is Sarentana in the mood to ponder the meaning of Baturhun's words now, she didn't realize the true meaning of Baturhun's words at all, and looked at Baturhun with concern, hoping that Baturhun could lead the people to surrender, which was their only way to survive now.

"Okay, since the little princess has said so, then Ben Khan will believe in Scholar Li once."

Seeing that Saren Tana looked worried, Batur stood up with a slight smile and said in a loud voice to the generals present, "Go, follow Ben Khan out of the valley and join the Khan's court!" ”

With a hula, the generals on the scene stood up one after another, hugged Baturhun and Saren Tana and left the tent, with the special relationship between Saren Tana and Li Hongyu, everyone's mood was invisibly much easier, and they didn't have to worry about being wronged after surrendering.

Urumqi city.

With the increase of the siege time day by day, the panic atmosphere in the city of Urumqi is becoming more and more intense, both the army and the people are quite frightened.

Gushi Khan was very troubled by the current situation, and the army outside the city neither attacked the city nor shouted, which made him have no idea what the intentions of Bahat and Li Hongyu were.

Could it be that the other party is waiting for him to surrender? But how could his dignified Great Khan of the Heshute Department surrender without resistance, in that case he would not have face and would not be able to win some rights and interests for himself and the Heshute Ministry.

Therefore, Gushi Khan did not send people to contact outside the city, waiting for people outside the city to take the initiative to speak, so that he would have an advantage in the negotiations.

However, as the Ming army placed Hongyi cannons and other artillery outside Urumqi, this made his heart more and more bottomless, he saw the power of the Ming army's artillery on the bank of the Yinma River, and the city defense of Urumqi could not stop the shells of those artillery at all.

Gu Shi Khan knew very well that Li Hongyu was showing him a tough attitude, and he seemed to have no other way out except for his head.

But Gushi Khan was not reconciled, no matter how he said that Urumqi City was still in his hands, there were twenty or thirty thousand soldiers in it, this was his capital and confidence.

"Great Khan, Baturhun Khan is outside the city and asks to see him." While Gushi Khan was drinking alone, a soldier came in to report.

"Baturhun is here?" Gu Shi Khan couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes lit up, could it be that the Zhun Geer Department called?

But then the light of Gushi Khan's eyes dimmed, and if Baturhun really came, then there would be no movement outside the city.

"Isn't it ......"

Suddenly, Gushi Khan had an ominous premonition in his heart, and hurriedly put down the wine glass in his hand and walked out of the room quickly, he wanted to go to the city to see if Baturhun had thrown himself into the Khan Court!

When he came to the head of the city and saw the generals of the Ming army and the Mongolian Western Expeditionary Army besieging the city, talking and laughing, as if the battle of the Yuma River had not happened at all, Gushi Khan's heart suddenly sank, it seemed that he guessed correctly, Baturhun really surrendered.

This not only means that Gushi Khan is now fighting alone, but more importantly, it will have a huge psychological impact on the soldiers defending the city.

"Great Khan, do you want to open the city gate and let Baturhun Khan in?" When Gu Shi Khan was stunned, a general stepped forward and asked in a low voice.

"Open the gates, Ben Khan will go out of the city!"

A bitter smile flashed at the corner of Gu Shi Khan's mouth, he naturally knew Baturhun's intention, he must be persuaded to surrender, since the matter has come to this point, what else does he have to insist on, does he really have to wait for people outside the city to attack the city?

With Gushi Khan's order to open the city gates, the four major tribes in the Moxi region all submitted to the "Khan Court" represented by the Bahat, and the Moxi region entered a period of unification.

Bahat was very excited about this, he did not expect that his western expedition would be so smooth, and he would capture Moxi so quickly, making the four major tribes of Moxi surrender, which is a great achievement to be proud of.

At the same time, this also means that after nearly two hundred years of division, the Mongol Khanate finally ushered in the unification of the Tatar and Warat tribes, and Bahat naturally became the most powerful person connecting the Mongol Khanate.

Next, Bahat's target is the Khalkha Ministry in Mobei, which also becomes the Trans-Khalkha Ministry, as opposed to the Monan Khalkha Ministry, where Bahat is located.

Speaking of which, the Monan Khalkha Department has a close relationship with the Mobei Khalkha Department and has a very close blood relationship.

During the Northern Yuan Dynasty, the Inner Khalkha Department of Monan and the Outer Khalkha Department of Mobei belonged to one of the 60,000 Mongolian households in the Dayan Khan era.

At that time, the official name of the Khalkha Ministry was "Khalkha Wanhu Left Wing", but in the middle of the 16th century, a part of the Khalkha people migrated from the Mobei grassland to the south of the Great Khing'an Mountains to nomadic herding, and since then the Khalkha Wanhu has been divided into their own independent seven Outer Khalkha tribes in the northern part of the desert and five Inner Khalkha tribes in the Monan region.

The territory of the Northern Khalkha is very vast, bordering ******** in the east, Kobdo in the west, the desert in the south, and Buryat Mongolia in the north, and is ruled by the Great Khan of three major tribes, namely Tushetu Khan, Zasaktu Khan and Chechen Khan.

Compared with southern Mongolia and western Mongolia, the living environment of northern Mongolia is relatively poor, otherwise the Khalkha Department would not have moved from northern to southern Mongolia.

Therefore, Li Hongyu believes that it is not appropriate to overwhelm the Khalkha Department in Mobei, anyway, now that Bahat has the Moxi region and the western region of the Mongolian right wing in the south of the Mobei, it should now recuperate and adopt a strategy of gradual infiltration of the Khalkha Department in Mobei.

It is worth mentioning that although Bahat carried out his westward expedition in the name of the Mongol Khanate under the banner of Lin Dan Khan, he is not subordinate to Lin Dan Khan now, but only respectfully refers to Lin Dan Khan as the nominal Mongolian Great Khan.

The sphere of influence of the two sides is bounded by the middle of the right wing of Monan Mongolia, with Bahat occupying the western part of the right wing of Monan Mongol and Lin Dan Khan occupying the eastern part of the right wing of Monan.

When he learned that Bahat defeated Moxi Mongolia and surrendered to the four major tribes of Moxi Mongolia, Lin Dan Khan was taken aback, and he thought that Bahat was going to return with a feather, but he did not think about it, but he did this thing that he had always wanted to do but could not achieve, and he was both envious and jealous in his heart.

Lin Dan Khan's life is not easy now, although the western expedition has greatly expanded his territory, but with the rise of the Later Jin over the years, he has to focus on dealing with the Later Jin, which has made Horqin and many other tribes in the eastern part of the left wing of the Southern Mongols take refuge.

In this regard, Lin Dan Khan was quite annoyed, it was obvious that Houjin's hand was too long, and it actually reached his realm.

It is worth mentioning that Lin Dan Khan had long seen the threat of the Houjin to him, so he formed an alliance with the Ming Dynasty very early, and sent troops to assist the Ming army many times in history.

Because Wang Huazhen could not defeat Houjin, he relied very much on Lin Dan Khan's Mongol army, hoping that Lin Dan Khan could send 400,000 troops to attack Houjin and eliminate Houjin in one fell swoop, for which he offered a rich reward.

Of course, the reason why Wang Huazhen thinks that Lin Dan Khan has an army of 400,000 is not unfounded.

Historically, after forming an alliance with the Ming Dynasty, Lin Dan Khan sent envoys to Houjin in the 47th year of Wanli in 10,000 years, and Lin Dan Khan regarded himself as "Baturu Genghis Khan, the lord of 400,000 Mongolians", and contemptuously called Nurhachi "the lord of the 30,000 Jurchens on the waterfront", and warned Nurhachi not to invade Guangning.

It is precisely because of this letter of state that Wang Huazhen, who is not clear about the situation in Mongolia, thinks that Lin Dan Khan really has 400,000 soldiers and horses, so he relies on this, knowing that this is more than the total population of Lin Dan Khan's Chahar department.

When Nurhachi attacked Quang Ninh on a large scale, Lin Dan Khan did not take action, and sent a total of 30,000 troops to aid Quang Ninh twice, the first time 10,000 people, and the second time 20,000 people.

It's a pity that Lin Dan Khan never imagined that Wang Huazhen would be so unbearable, with tens of thousands of Ming troops in vain and unable to defend the city of Guangning, which was high and thick, so that before the 10,000 vanguard Mongolian soldiers arrived in Guangning, Guangning had already been lost, so he could only turn to guard Shanhaiguan.

As for the second group of 20,000 people, they were blocked by the wind and snow, and when the wind and snow heard about it, they learned that Quang Ninh had fallen, so they retreated.

It can be seen that in Lin Dan Khan's mind, Houjin is his biggest enemy, so he united with the Ming Dynasty to fight against Houjin.

Now, with the Ming army sticking to the Guanjin defense line, Lin Dan Khan will have to face Houjin alone, and conflicts often break out between the two sides, so Lin Dan Khan can be described as miserable.

This also made Lin Dan Khan incapable of controlling the Mongol Western Expeditionary Army, which gradually became the world of the Khalkha Department, and he could only acquiesce to this reality.

At the very least, the Khalkha tribe where Bahat is located is an ally with Lin Dan Khan, which allows Lin Dan Khan not to worry about attacks from the west and concentrate on dealing with Houjin.

Of course, this is exactly what Li Hongyu wants, since Daming can only stubbornly wait for the opportunity, then it will be up to Lin Dan Khan to do the harassment.

When Moxi Mongolia was subdued by the Baha, the Mongol Khanate tribes were divided into four major parts according to their different forces, one was the headquarters of the Mongol Khanate of Lin Dan Khan, one was the tribes ruled by the Bahat, one was the Mobei Khalkha Department, and the other was the Horqin and other tribes that took refuge in the Houjin.

Because of the relationship between the Later Jin, Lin Dan Khan had the worst relationship with the Mongol tribes who surrendered to the Later Jin Dynasty such as Korqin, and the two sides have now torn their faces and fought inextricably in private.

After all, the Western Expeditionary Army had been fighting for seven or eight years, and it was time to recuperate, reform the Mongol tribes that had returned to them, strengthen the centralization of power, and eliminate the influence of the original Khan on the tribes.

Although Bahat can recuperate, Li Hongyu cannot be idle, because he still has one more thing to do, that is, to capture the Turpan region of the Western Regions and use it as a springboard to further control the Western Regions.

It was also the last battle of the Mongol Western Expeditionary Army before resting, and as long as Li Hongyu captured Turpan, they could go home and reunite with their families.
