Chapter 240: Pacifying the Grassland
Chen Di sat down again and put forward his own conditions: "Let the 40,000 Tatar cavalry in your hands lay down their weapons and return to Datongwei with my Flying Tiger Army." www.biquge.info I have a vast land in two capitals and thirteen provinces, and your 40,000 Tatar sons will be scattered and placed in two capitals and thirteen provinces for farming, and our Ming court will allocate land to them! And the Great Khan, you will be made a duke by the Ming Dynasty, and you can spend the rest of your life in the capital in the future! β
Altan Khan slapped his palm on the table: "Governor Chen! You're trying to destroy my Tatar tribes! β
Chen Di actually nodded: "That's right!" β
Altan Khan was anxious: "Governor Chen, don't forget, I still have 40,000 iron horsemen in my hand to fight!" β
Chen Di smiled and said: "Great Khan, you should know what the result of your so-called iron cavalry and my Flying Tiger armaments, artillery, and grenades are dead!" Gone are the days of hussars! In the face of fine firearms, your iron riders are a flock of lambs to the slaughter! If the Flying Tigers want to drive out your Tatars, it's easy to do it! β
Chen Di's words were like a knife plunging straight into Altan Khan's heart. He pondered for a long time: "Governor Chen, is there really no room for negotiation anymore?" In addition to paying you silver and war horses every year, I can also cede the entire Hetao grassland to you! β
Chen Di laughed: "If I want the Hetao, can't I directly destroy the remaining cavalry of your Tatar department, and then move the people of the Ming Dynasty there?" The conditions I gave you are already the bottom line! You're a hero on the grassland, I just can't bear to let you, a hero, be blown into powder by the Fran machine artillery! β
Alta Khan's hands trembled: "Chen Di, what kind of hatred do you have with me?" Do you want to kill me all? β
Chen Di Zhengse said: "You are an eagle on the grassland. I admire you very much. It's not that I have a grudge against you, but that the Han people have a feud with you steppe people for thousands of years! Since the Qin and Han dynasties, how many of our Han people have you steppe people slaughtered? Sometimes when you are defeated in battle, you use what you call your courtiers to fool the courtiers. When your wings are full again, you'll be back in the south again! It's a pity that I'm not one of those stupid rulers! I'm Chen Di, the only Chen Di! β
Altan Khan said worriedly, "Governor, I have heard of your wrist. In Zhejiang, your Ming Kingdom, how do you treat the surrendered Japanese invadersγγγγγ I know it. If I order my warriors to lay down their arms... How can you be sure that they will not be greeted by a massacre? After all, the last time we went south, we killed so many of youγγγγγ β
Altan Khan was scared, yes, this steppe tyrant was scared in front of Chen Di Chen Dadu!
Chen Di smiled at Altan Khan: "Guarantee? My Chen Di's name is a guarantee! It is Chen Di who swears with you, Chen Di, the unique metropolitan governor of the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years! I can tell you bluntly that my goal is to exterminate your Tatar tribes! There are two ways to destroy a nation, one is to slaughter them with a butcher's knife. The second is to assimilate them. I'm using the second method now! You Tatars settled in my Ming Dynasty, two capitals and thirteen provinces, and I will let the Han people intermarry with you. In order to make a living, your people can only speak our Ming language, use our script, wear our clothes, and cultivate in our ways.
In less than thirty years, you Tatars will become Han Chinese!
There were only two paths in front of the Tatars. One is to be slaughtered, and the other is to become a member of the Han nation.
There are only two paths in front of you. One is to become the noble duke of the Ming Dynasty, and spend the second half of his life in pleasure. The second is to become a ghost under my Chen Di's cannon!
Great Khan, people sometimes have to make their own choices. Choose one of the two paths. β
Altan Khan closed his eyes: "I chooseγγγγγ Surrender..... I fully accept the Grand Duke's terms! β
Altan Khan returned to the camp and made it clear to his men. Several Wanhu were unwilling to surrender and were directly beheaded by Altan Khan. After three hours, all the Tatar cavalry laid down their arms.
Chen Di and Qi Jiguang finally met!
The soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army gathered 40,000 Tatar captives and held them in custody. Chen Di ordered to leave early tomorrow morning and return to Datongwei with the captives!
No matter how arrogant an army is, once it loses the will to fight, it becomes a flock of sheep. These Tatars have fought against the Flying Tiger Army several times, and they have long been beaten by the Flying Tiger Army, who dares to have any dissenting intentions?
Qi Jiguang excitedly said to Chen Di: "Governor Dadu, the merit of eternity, the merit of eternity!" β
Chen Di patted Qi Jiguang on the shoulder: "If it weren't for the second brother, you led the strange soldiers through the swamp and went straight to the heart of the Tatars, maybe my main force would be defeated by Altan Khan in the white-haired wind!" β
Hu Zongxian patted Chen Di's ass in a timely manner: "Governor of the capital, there is a wolf Juxu in ancient times. Since you have built a meritorious career comparable to Huo Quai's illness, can you hold a ceremony to seal Zen in Wolf Mountain? β
Chen Di waved his hand: "There's no need to come to that set of virtual texts!" β
Yu Dayou said to Chen Di: "Governor of the capital, Wuliang Habe Khan Chikun asks to see you." β
Chen Di left this ally behind. He said to Yu Dayou: "Okay, let him come to see me!" β
Chi Kun, this guy is a white wolf who wants to empty gloves. When the battle between the Flying Tigers and the Tatars was unclear, he watched from the wall. The defeat of the Tatars was timed, and he suddenly jumped out, claiming to be an ally of the Flying Tigers. Tatar surrendered, he did not abandon a single soldier, but he wanted to reach out to Chen Di to ask for the fertile eastern steppe.
After seeing Chen Di, Chikun performed the grassland etiquette: "Wuliang Habe Khan Chikun, meet the Governor of Ming State Chen!" β
Chen Di smiled: "No courtesy, no courtesy!" This time, you Uliangha have made meritorious efforts to send troops, and I am about to reward you! β
Chi Kun accompanied the smiling face: "It is our duty to help Shangbang exterminate the wolf-like Tatars. How dare you ask for the reward of the Grand Dukeγγγγγ It's just that.... β
Chen Di asked, "Just what?" β
Chi Kun replied: "It's just that Lord Lu Bing once brought me a message for the Governor, saying that after our Uliangha and the Flying Tiger Army work together to destroy the Tatars, the Governor will reward us with the fertile eastern grasslands. β
Chen Di laughed: "No! β
Chi Kun's face changed when he heard this: "What? Has the Metropolitan Governor changed his mind? β
Chen Di said with a smile: "A gentleman is quick to speak. How can I break my word? I just think that this time to force the Tatars, you Ulianghabu have contributed a lot! How can I just reward you with the eastern grasslands? Now that the Tatars have surrendered and will move into the Central Plains, the Warat tribe has been wiped out. I intend to hand over the entire Mongolian steppe to you, the Uliangha. β
Chi Kun was already happy at this time: "The entire Mongolian steppe? The Metropolitan is generous! We at Uliang Habe don't know how to thank you! β
Chen Di's words changed: "Don't worry about thanking me first!" Altan Khan once made a condition to me, willing to exchange the conditions of 3 million taels of silver and 30,000 war horses per year for the withdrawal of the Flying Tiger Army! Now that you, the Uliangha, have received the land of the Tatars, you should fulfill the unfulfilled obligations of the Tatars! Three million taels of silver every year, 30,000 war horses for the entire Mongolian steppe, how is this business? β
Chi Kun listened to it like five thunderbolts. In the past, when the Tatars were strong, Uliangha paid tribute to the Tatars. Now that the Tatar tribe has been destroyed, he has a so-called Mongolian steppe, but he has to pay ten times the tribute of silver and horses to the Ming Dynasty.
