Even the current Emperor Chongzhen has never thought of exterminating the Mongol tribes in the northern steppe. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After all, the vast Saibei grassland is not suitable for the Han people to cultivate and live, so it is better to leave it to the attached grassland peoples.

Perhaps Chen Renxi's subordinates, such as Zuo Guangxian and Lin Chaoen, thought so, but Chen Renxi, who was born in Jinshi, obviously thought more long-term than his subordinates, and simple killing could not completely eradicate the threat of the Saibei grassland to the northern border of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, when Chen Renxi and others finally joined forces with Cao Wenzhao, Burhatu and others that night, he opposed continuing to go north to slaughter thousands of Naiman tribes.

But his opposition did not work, and although Burhatu respected Chen Renxi's opinion very much, he preferred to follow the rules of the steppe, and the rule of the steppe is that the winner takes all.

Moreover, the Kundulun Khan of Burhatu was not easy to handle, and all tribes who dared to challenge his authority had to be destroyed, and those who had followed him all the way south needed to be appeased, and their hatred of the enemy needed to be properly vented.

So when Enkhbayar of the Kulen tribe expressed his allegiance to him and offered to lead the way to destroy the Naiman tribe, Burhatu quickly agreed.

Thousands of soldiers and horses of the Horqin people have still not been heard from, and the Wulie Battalion and the Karaqin cavalry, which have been running back and forth on the prairie for nearly a month, are also exhausted.

Although Chen Renxi still had the intention to continue northward, crossing the Xilamulun River and directly setting up an ambush circle near Jirigalangtu, which was the end of the Korqin people, he finally gave up.

Because the news of the attack on the Baiyintao camp in the rear of Korqin on the left flank had already spread among the Korqin people, and the news was sent back by the outpost sent to the north, Tushetu Khan Oba, the co-leader of the Korqin people, and the cavalry of the Aru Korqin people were now also near the Narit River.

If you don't want to engage in a fierce battle with the real Korqin army, it's better not to cross the Xilamulun River.

In this way, after resting for a night near the garrison of the Ao Han tribe, the next morning, which was also the first day of October, Chen Renxi, Cao Wenzhao, and Burhatu, with an army of 11,000 cavalry, under the leadership of Nayan Enkhbayar of the Kuren tribe, marched towards the station of the Naiman tribe.

The Naiman Department is not far, it is in the middle of the Ao Han Department and the Kulun Department, about 200 miles away from the Kulen Department, and about 200 miles away from the Ao Han Department.

The army set out early in the morning and arrived at noon, and the Naimans, who had heard the news of the flight, were reluctant to let go of a large number of cattle, sheep and livestock, so they did not flee far, and were caught up next to a tributary of the Xilamulun River that flows from southwest to northeast, that is, on the banks of the Ao Lian River.

There was a river in front of them, and there were tens of thousands of pursuers in the back, except for the young and strong cavalry of the Naiman tribe who fought hard, the rest of the large number of old and weak women and children and herdsmen and servants surrendered with various livestock such as cattle, sheep and horses.

More than 1,000 Naiman cavalry who dared to resist were quickly slaughtered, while more than 4,000 slaves surrendered, and there were countless cattle, horses, and livestock.

After erasing the Naiman tribe on the steppes of Eastern Mongolia with the momentum of killing chickens with knives, Chen Renxi, Cao Wenzhao, Niu Juming, Burhatu and Enkhbayar held a meeting and made a preliminary arrangement for the Saibei grassland south of the Xilamulun River.

Of course, Enkhbayar has no right to speak, and Burhatu, who has the right to speak, cannot argue with Chen Renxi, Cao Wenzhao, and Niu Juming.

Chen Renxi is the imperial history of the Liaodong Town Supervisor, and now he is the representative of the Jiliao Governor's Mansion in Yizhou, an important town in western Liaoning, and is one of the people who Kundulun Khan Burhatu dare not offend.

Needless to say, Cao Wenzhao was the town guard of Rehebao at the southern end of the Karaqin Pastoral Land, and he was also a person that Burhatu did not dare to offend.

Although Niu Juming is a small official, he is a person from the Military Aircraft Department, a person around the Ming Emperor, and Burhatu, who is good at observing words and feelings, can also see that this Niu Juming is by no means a character who can easily provoke a crime, he would rather quarrel with people like Chen Renxi and Cao Wenzhao than offend this person.

Therefore, in the end, the leading power of the entire conference was still in the hands of Chen Renxi. In the end, the discussion came and went, and Chen Renxi and others set these points.

First, Burhatu led the tribes of Karaqin to return to Ulan Hada, and built a city and fort in Ulan Hada, with Ulan Hada as the center, to rule the south bank of the West Lamulun River in the north, to the three towers in the east, to Balihan in the south, and to the eastern grassland of Mo Nan in the west to Lai Nuoer Lake.

Second, all the cattle, sheep and horses captured on the battlefield were divided equally between the Ming army and the Karaqin division who participated in the battle.

Third, all the captured Han herdsmen were handed over to the Wulie camp to be brought back to Rehe Town.

Fourth, the young and strong population of the Naiman tribe was enslaved by the Karaqin, the old and weak women and children were enslaved by the Kulun tribe, and the pastures of the Naiman tribe were housed by the Kulun tribe.

Fifth, the Rehe Town Guard helped Burhatu rebuild the city of Ulan Hada, and the town of Liaodong helped the Kulun tribe choose a place to build a walled city to jointly defend against the Horqin people's invasion again.

Sixth, Liaodong Town and Rehe Town guarded the government, opened mutual markets with the Karaqin Department and the Kulun Department, sold weapons and equipment such as bows, arrows, armor, etc., and sent troops to support the two tribes to conquer the surrounding small tribes if necessary, and so on.

The five men agreed on these terms, and the next morning, when the sun was rising, they slain the white horse and the green ox at the headquarters of the Naiman tribe, and made a solemn oath. Then the cattle were slaughtered and the sheep were slaughtered, and the whole army was feasted.

On the third day, after distributing the spoils, they agreed on the time of some specific matters, and then they gathered and dispersed, and each of them withdrew his troops separately and rushed to his station.

Enkhbayar of the Kulen tribe killed the leader of the Ao Han tribe by surprise, Sonomu Duling, and at the same time took the initiative to lead the way and completely exterminated the Naiman tribe, so he obtained the new positions of Chen Renxi and Burhatu.

The Kulen Division, which was destined to gain nothing with the Horqin people and was likely to be in the midst of a catastrophe, became an important winner in the Saibei Grassland War.

Enkhbayar, who had never had a holiday with the Karaqin tribe, soon reached a mutual understanding with Burhatu.

Burhatu, which does not have many large tribes to follow on the south bank of the Xilamulun River, is also happy to have the Kulun tribe become his ally, after all, to sit in the position of Kundulun Khan, it is unjustifiable without the recognition of other steppe tribes.

What made Enkhbayar even happier was that his surrender to Zuo Guangxian and his subsequent performance quickly won the trust of Chen Renxi, the imperial historian of Liaodong Town.

This is crucial for the future survival of the Kulen Ministry.

Because the north of the Kulun tribe is the territory of the Horqin people, if Enkhbayar, who has just betrayed the Horqin people, does not hurry up and hug the thigh of Liaodong Town, then the Kulun tribe will immediately face the danger of extinction.

The Karaqin Department was far to the south, and the only one who could save him at that time was the Left Route Army in Liaodong Town.

And he also saw very clearly that the reason why the Horqin people were able to become the bosses of the Eastern Mongolian tribes after Chahar moved westward was because of the support of the Jurchens of the Later Jin Kingdom.

However, after Horqin annexed the Jurchens of the Later Jin Kingdom, the Kulun Department did not get the assistance they wanted, because the Jurchens of the Later Jin Kingdom were not rich themselves, and the limited aid was given to Horqin.

The Ming side is different, the land is vast, and it is very generous, look at the assistance of Liaodong Town and Rehebao further south to the Karaqin Department, you can know who is more beneficial to follow.

When Enkhbayar escorted the two or three thousand old and weak women and children allocated to him back to the Kulun tribe's place of grazing, Niu Juming and Cao Wenzhao also took the 3,000 cavalry of the Wulie battalion and more than 1,200 Han herdsmen and slowly headed south.

The more than 1,200 Han shepherds who followed Wulieying all the way south also drove more than 5,000 horses and tens of thousands of cattle and sheep.

The cattle, sheep and horses brought back to the three towers and Yizhou City by the army on the left side of Liaodong Town were also similar to those brought back to Rehe Fort by the Wulie Battalion.

Although there is no shortage of war horses in Rehebao and Liaodong Town due to the opening of the market with the grassland tribes, the more horses, cattle and sheep the better.
