For more than a year in this far north, Li Zicheng's team would take care of personal hygiene, shave his beard, and take a shower as much as possible at first. But later, they gave up. You can only hide in the house to pee, and you still want to take a bath? They can only take a bath when they encounter those places where the natives live, but how many times a year can they meet the places where the natives live?

When the bearded soldiers of the Ming Dynasty heard Li Zicheng's roar and saw him show his dagger to cut his beard, they immediately surrounded him and talked nonsense.

"My lord, what kind of mother's family, is someone from northern Shaanxi coming?"

"My lord, don't you have a fancy for a Khalkha woman?"

“……”

Li Zicheng stretched out his hand and threw the cut beard in the air, regardless of whether these beards would be thrown on his companions, and scolded them with a smile: "You stupid pigs, our mother's family, are naturally Ming comrades!" It's all cleaned up for Lao Tzu, otherwise it will really be looked down upon by the brothers' troops! ”

"What, brother troops? My lord, did you say that there are brother troops to replace us? ”

"Shouldn't other Ming troops come to fight the Khalkha tribes here?"

"Won't it, so far, to fight these Khalkha tribes?"

“……”

Basically, everyone was amazed when they heard it. Most of them were Mongols, and they had never heard of the Ming army coming so far when they were so big. After all, the last time the Ming army crusaded against Mobei, it was more than 200 years ago.

When Li Zicheng heard this, he immediately smiled and said to them: "The emperor is wise and powerful, and he is eloquent and strategic, and even let us go to the extreme north, you say, can this Khalkha still be outside the royal road?" Before our Ming Dynasty in the Chengzu period, there were five expeditions to Mobei, but it is a pity that there has been no conquest, and now it is good, the Khalkha people in Mobei will definitely not be able to escape this catastrophe! ”

His men were pleasantly surprised. So, while they learned from Li Zicheng and began to clean up their beards, they talked happily again. The strength of the country where he is located, and he is naturally extremely proud of his words.

Li Zicheng had just finished tidying up his beard and was about to enter the chat group to take a closer look at the situation of the war, when suddenly one of his subordinates hurriedly reported: "My lord, there is a situation. ”

"What's the situation?" When Li Zicheng heard this, he was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

The other soldiers of the Ming army who were busy were also taken aback and stopped their movements.

The messenger said, "It seems that a young woman in the Khalkha tribe has snatched her horse and fled, and is coming to us. There were more than a dozen people chasing after him. ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Zicheng looked at his subordinates, and immediately said without hesitation: "Let it go, arrest it, and see what the situation is." ”

Hundreds of people ambushed a dozen people, trying to arrest people, very easily. Not long after, Li Zicheng entered the chat group and announced in the temporary group: "Your Majesty, in this place of the Khalkha tribe, there are many women and children of the Oirat tribe who have been plundered, and in addition, the Khalkha tribe seems to have drawn troops to the west. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he remembered something, so he ordered Li Zicheng to let him interrogate the people of the captured Khalkha tribe to see if he could ask about the nomadic sites of other Khalkha tribes. After all, although he sent a large army, Mobei is still too big, and these tens of thousands of troops entering Mobei are actually not enough to see. The more detailed the information and the more points that can be raided, the fewer Khalkha people will slip through the net.

At this time, the woman of the Oirat tribe was simply desperate. She was unwilling to become a member of the enemy from now on, and ran away when she saw the opportunity, even if she starved to death in the far north. Unexpectedly, it fell into the hands of a group of savage-like Ming troops.

Seeing groups of Ming soldiers surrounding her to watch the excitement, even if she knew that the Ming army seemed to have a good relationship with her clan, she was desperate. At this moment, I suddenly saw the leader of the Ming army walking over, with a smile on his face, very kind, squatting in front of her, and said in Mongolian dialect that was not very fluent: "I let you go, you are not allowed to run, understand?" ”

Seeing this situation, the soldiers of the Ming army on the side immediately coaxed: "My lord wants you to sleep, I have taken a fancy to you!" ”

"We don't have a lady yet, so I'm cheap for you!"

“……”

When Li Zicheng heard this, he felt that this woman was not bad, she was good-looking, and she was so fierce, but on the surface, he still glared at them and said: "Don't scream, the Oirat Mongolian tribes are now our Ming people, their own people!" ”

"Yes, my own people!"

"My lord, we hear you, our own people!"

“……”

When Li Zicheng heard this, he didn't bother to pay attention to them, and Zhengse said to the woman: "Now our Baotou governor of the Ming Dynasty has led his troops to the Tianshan Mountains and saved you Ozirtu Khan and other clansmen. Your Ozirtu Khan has ordered the Oirat Mongols to be attached to me from now on, and they will become a member of my Ming Dynasty......"

Before he could finish his words, the woman suddenly said to him: "Don't tell so many lies to lie to me, as long as you can help us avenge, I will sleep with you!" ”

"......" Li Zicheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, and thought to himself, is what I said really good!

His onlookers saw it, although they knew that what Li Zicheng said should be true, but at this time, they all immediately coaxed, but instead made it seem that Li Zicheng wanted this woman and made up a bunch of lies, which made Li Zicheng angry, and immediately drove them away loudly: "Get out, I was talking about business!" Get out of here! ”

Picked up the shelf and drove all his subordinates away, he wanted to explain, but seeing the way the woman looked at him, he thought about it, forget it, gave up the explanation, and carefully asked her about being escorted all the way to Mobei.

The woman did not resist these questions, and immediately said one by one. And later, I was a little puzzled in my heart, I don't know what this person meant by asking her about this situation and asking in such detail?

At the end of the question, Li Zicheng thought for a while and said to her: "Whether you believe it or not, anyway, if you look at it, in the next few days, at least the Khalkha tribes here will soon be beaten down by us!" ”

When the woman heard this, she looked at him and suddenly said, "If what you say is true, I will follow you in the future!" ”

When Li Zicheng heard this, he was stunned, is this a personal promise?

Seeing him like this, the woman seemed to have a little misunderstanding, so she hurriedly said: "I am the daughter of the chief of the Dulbert tribe, so those Khalkha people have not touched me, and they are still waiting for their Khan King to come back and dispose of me." It's the same way, I'm not reconciled, so I think about running away. “

Sometimes, identity, although it can't be seen or touched, can also give people extra points.

When Li Zicheng heard this, he felt that this woman seemed to be more beautiful.

However, when he heard that it was the daughter of the chief of the Dulbert tribe, he didn't dare to hide it, so he hurriedly entered the chat group to tell him.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his heart moved, thinking, this is good, Oirat Mongolia is attached, then let them marry the Han people more, in this way, the relationship will not be closer.

So, he immediately gave instructions.

This time, it was Li Zicheng's turn to be stupid again, how could the emperor be so unreliable, and he actually promised himself a marriage directly!

Thinking of this, he honestly said to the woman: "I am from Shaanxi, and I used to have a daughter-in-law at home, but I am gone, and I have no children......

As he was saying this, he suddenly heard a bang on the side, and it turned out that his subordinates had been wandering around and eavesdropping, and heard him say this.

"The adult is reporting to his home and proposing!"

"My lord, we have your back!"

“……”

After more than a year of getting along in this far north, the relationship between Li Zicheng and his subordinates far exceeded that of superiors and subordinates in the mainland. At this time, Li Zicheng was a little annoyed by his unscrupulous speech, and shouted at them: "What do you know, the emperor gave marriage just now!" Get out of here, get out of here! ”

It's rare to have a lively thing, and his subordinates are still giggling, not afraid of him at all.

Li Zicheng was a little helpless, turned his head, looked at the woman in front of him, and said helplessly: "What I said just now is true, the emperor knows and gives us two marriages!" ”

Well, you know you won't believe it. Li Zicheng thought in his heart, a little helpless, let the facts speak for themselves. Anyway, you can't run away, the emperor has given you a marriage!

I didn't expect that this time I went north, I could marry a wife and go back!

Two days later, the nearest Liaodong Army arrived here.

When a red line appeared in the field of vision, and it became bigger and bigger, and finally, one by one, wearing mandarin duck robes, majestic Ming army soldiers, riding war horses, rushed towards the Khalkha tribe, Li Zicheng turned to the woman next to him and said: "Look, Ben will be right!" ”

After a while, the woman came back to her senses, and her eyes were full of ecstasy. She really didn't expect that what this person said was true, and the Ming army would appear in this desert north place. Doesn't that mean that what happened in western Mongolia is also true! And also...... Also, he said that the emperor's marriage was also true?

Thinking so, the woman suddenly hugged Li Zicheng, kissed him on the face, and then a red cloud flew on his face and dodged.

Li Zicheng suddenly fell into a stupor, but his subordinates slammed and laughed again.

"My lord, how is it, we Mongolian women dare to love and hate, feel it?"

"My lord, Madame is accepting you, why don't you hurry up and hug you?"

“……”

In the midst of their uproar, more than 10,000 Liaodong troops, like a whirlwind and clouds, swept past the gathering place of the Khalkha tribes, and the war ended without any decent resistance at all.

Then, Lu Da led the Liaodong Army, and immediately went to attack the Khalkha tribe gathering place close to him, so hurried, according to his explanation of Li Zicheng, this is the last big battle in the north of the Ming Dynasty, and it would be stupid not to make more contributions!

With the help of his daughter-in-law, Li Zicheng organized the women and children of the Oirat tribe to help him guard the prisoners and transport the booty.

At this time, in fact, not only here, but also the naturalized army led by Hong Chengchou was also divided into several routes, and attacked the gathering place of the Khalkha tribe in Mobei very purposefully.

With the support of intelligence and the unified command of the chat group, the vast and boundless Mobei seems to have become very small again, and the Ming army has swept the entire Mobei like a plough and sweeping the holes. Except for a small number of people who escaped, almost the entire three tribes of Mobei were uprooted.

And the goal of this Mobei operation is not only that, they must also rush to the Western Regions as soon as possible to deal with the remaining army of the Khalkha tribe over there.

At this time, the three khans of the Khalkha tribe did not know that their nest had been terminated. At this time, they were a little puzzled in their joy.

I heard Tushetu Khan Gunbu say to the other two: "You say, what kind of moth is the governor of the Ming Kingdom doing? Staying at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains and not leaving? ”

"Yes, I don't understand, isn't he afraid of cutting off food and grass?" Zasaktu Khan Norbu also said suspiciously.

Chechen Khan Shuolei also wondered: "Even if this governor can't fight, what about Mangui?" That madman doesn't look a little crazy about fighting, but in fact he is also very shrewd, compared to those Tsarist Russian barbarians! ”

"Can you stop mentioning the Russian barbarians?" When Gunbu heard this, his voice suddenly became a little louder, obviously still worried about what had been cheated by the Tsarists before.

In fact, it is no wonder that they have always felt that they are the descendants of Genghis Khan, and they were once the people who conquered the world, and those Tsarist Russia were simply like uncivilized barbarians. They are the only ones who are interested in the Far North. But such a person, the result is to play them ruthlessly, how can you not be angry!

When Shuo Lei heard this, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he immediately changed the topic and said, "You say, shouldn't the Ming army be waiting for reinforcements?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be possible!" Norbu frowned and said, "We have all sent scouts all the way to the east, and we haven't seen any reinforcements from the Ming Kingdom!" ”

This question is really nerve-wracking.

The three of them are not fools, and the Ming army has not left, on the surface, it should be the most happy for them to see. However, they couldn't understand why the Ming army didn't leave? The commander of the Ming army can't be a fool, what should he do when the food runs out?

After thinking about it for a while, I still couldn't figure it out. Eventually, Gunbu suddenly asked, "Could it be that they are still waiting for the remnants of the Oirat tribe to come here to converge?" These days, they have been waiting here, and after the news spread, there are indeed many rat-like Oirat people who have come out to converge! ”

"What do you mean by that?" When Norbu heard this, he still said suspiciously, "Could it be that they want to gather enough troops to fight us again?" ”

Come to think of it, it seems that this is really possible!

The Oirat Mongols are composed of four large tribes, although they and the Russians killed a lot in the previous raids, but the remaining number, plus the Ming army, can be gathered to 20,000 people. In this way, the disparity in the strength of the two sides is not so great.

Thinking of this, Gun Bu smiled proudly: "They shouldn't have thought that we have already transferred troops from Mobei, right?" ”
