At noon on the seventh day of the first month of the third year of Chongzhen, five days after the men and horses from all walks of life attacked separately, Li Banghua, who was sitting in Dongsheng City to coordinate the transportation of grain and grass on the rear road of the army, received the news that Zu Keyong, a young general of the Chinese army in Zu Dashou's department, was sent back to Dongsheng.

Under the persecution of the cavalry of the border army of Datong Town and the cavalry of Xiwurat, after the repeated assurances of Usutu Zhaohuo Fusamuteng Osir and the persuasion of the Dalhuts who accompanied him to his station, the Ordos Jinong Elinchen and his right flank Taiji Shandan led more than 5,000 cavalry to surrender.

More than 6,100 households and more than 36,600 men, women, and children from the headquarters and right-wing headquarters of Ordos surrendered.

In the evening of the same day, the messenger sent by Chen Qiyu, who was involved in Yansui politics, also rushed to Dongsheng City after hearing the news and came to meet Li Banghua.

It turned out that after the Shunyi king Bu lost the rabbit came to Yimacheng outside the border of Yulin to knock on the pass and ask for surrender, the governor of the border guarding the border was very important, and hurriedly asked Chen Qiyu, who stayed in Yulin, to participate in the politics of Yansui.

Chen Qiyu, who had been paying attention to the changes in the battle situation in northern Saibei, immediately opened the gate after the Shunyi King Bu Lost Rabbit agreed to disarm his subordinates, let them enter the customs, and took away the Shunyi King Bu Lost Rabbit, so that the Shunyi King's troops were temporarily stationed in the huge urn city of Yima City.

At this time, whether it was Sun Chuanting, the governor of Yansui, or Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of the three sides, one was anxious to deal with the thieves who were returning to Shaanxi again, and the other was even more anxious to deal with the chaotic situation in Lintao Guyuan and other places, and they were powerless to ask Chen Qiyu about accepting and detaining the king of Shunyi.

It wasn't until Zu Dashou led the officials and troops of Datong Town and the attached Mongolian cavalry brigade to the bank of the Sarawusu River outside the border of Yansui Town that the Ming army in this area quickly reported the news.

At this point, Chen Qiyu knew that Li Banghua, the Minister of Military Aircraft, had personally gone to the ancient city of Dongshengwei in the Hetao outside the Yulin border.

Therefore, he hurriedly sent a messenger to report to Li Banghua about the detention of Shunyi King Bu Lost Rabbit in Yulin, and at the same time, it was equivalent to throwing this hot potato to Li Banghua.

If the person sitting in Li Banghua's position at this time was Hong Chengchou, maybe he would quietly kill this Shunyi King Bu Lost Rabbit, who had long been out of breath.

But Li Banghua is not Hong Chengchou, so in the end, what to do with this problem has to be decided by Emperor Chongzhen himself.

After receiving the news from Zu Dashou and Chen Qiyu, in the next three days, Li Banghua, who was sitting in Dongsheng City, received reports from two other people one after another.

Cao Wenzhao, who went to the northwest to find the decisive battle of the Ordos Houtao tribe of Shakeza's headquarters, found the location of Shakeza's big tent in Bayannur, which was full of glaciers.

Unwilling to be captured, Shakeza and his cavalry abandoned their subordinates and fled all the way west, and were pursued by Cao Bianjiao, Tang Jiuzhou, and Li Wanqing's subordinates under Cao Wenzhao for more than 30 miles.

Shakeza himself was chased and beheaded by Cao Bianjiao, most of the cavalry was killed, the small part fled, and more than 4,000 people from the old, weak, women and children were captured.

Completely different from the hasty westward flight of the Shakeza Department in the Houtao area of Ordos, the station of the Taiji Zamusu Department of the left wing of Ordos is in the southwest of the entire Hetao (the later Ordos Etuoke Banner), more than 100 miles to the west is the border wall of Ningxia Town, and more than 100 miles to the south is the side wall of Huamachi, the residence of the trilateral governor, and there is no escape.

Therefore, when Zhao Shujiao took his Shanhai Town cavalry, which had followed him all the way from Shanhaiguan to the northwest, and just appeared on the north bank of the Dusitu River (located in the south of the Ordos Etuoke Banner in later generations), Zamusu hurriedly sent people over to ask for surrender.

More than 2,800 young and strong cavalrymen on the left flank of Ordos under the headquarters of Zamusu, as well as more than 8,900 herdsmen from the elderly, weak, women and children, surrendered to the wind.

Although Zhao Shujiao spent most of his military career in Liaodong Town after joining the army, his background was Jingluwei under the jurisdiction of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division.

This Jingyuwei is also the later Jingyuan of Gansu, and it is not far from the land of Hetao.

As a chief military officer who fought out of the sea of blood in the corpse mountain by charging again and again, he certainly yearned for a war of annihilation on his own, and let his name spread among the people of his hometown.

Especially after hearing the news that Cao Wenzhao led his troops to behead Shakeza and destroy Houtao Ordos, Zhao Shujiao, a veteran general who was 60 years old, still had some regrets about the surrender of Zamusu's troops.

is the so-called Feng Tang Yi Lao, Li Guang is difficult to seal!

In the original history, as the chief military officer of Shanhai Town, Zhao Shujiao was killed in this invasion.

Dying in a hundred battles and not being knighted is a great pity for a general.

Especially in this life, the knighthood of Mao Wenlong and Liu Xingzuo stimulated a group of border town generals, and of course, Zhao Shujiao saw the opportunity to be knighted.

It's just that the current emperor has changed his past strategy, and a large number of Ming troops are guarding behind the Ningjin defense line in the western Liaoning corridor, making generals like him useless for a while.

At this time, following the elder to recover the Hetao, such an opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If you can't make a decent military achievement, once you return to Shanhaiguan again, it will be difficult to have such an opportunity!

The sixty-year-old veteran Zhao Shujiao has such thoughts, and the fifty-year-old Zu Dashou also has such thoughts.

Including Cao Wenzhao, who is much younger than Zhao Shujiao and Zu Dashou, all have such thoughts.

In the eyes of these people, today's emperor attaches great importance to military merits, and it is a good time for these generals to make meritorious contributions and seal their wives and sons!

On the thirteenth day of the first month of the third year of Chongzhen, Zu Dashou himself led more than 1,000 cavalry members of the Chinese army, and returned to Dongsheng City with the surrendered Ordos Jinong Elinchen and the Ordos right-wing Taiji Dandan, as well as more than 100 relatives and families of the two.

Accompanied by Usutu Zhaohuo Buddha Samuteng Osir and Zu Dashou, Li Banghua personally met with Eluchen and Shan Dan, and made a clear promise to the two that he would definitely ask the imperial court to treat them well and properly settle their Ordos tribesmen.

However, at the same time, Li Banghua also said to the two of them: "My Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty has always been kind to the Mongolian tribes attached to it.

"Today, the two are valuable, one is the Jinong of the Ordos Ministry, and the other is the right-wing Taiji of the Ordos Ministry, if the two of them enter the Beijing Dynasty in person, His Majesty the Ming Emperor will definitely have a generous kindness to the two!"

After listening to the words of Li Banghua, the elder of the Ming Dynasty cabinet and the minister of military aircraft, the two of them were secretly happy in their hearts.

When this pavilion elder of the Ming Dynasty finished speaking, both of them were taken aback at the same time.

Eluchen said in surprise: "Lord Ge! What do you mean by that?! A certain and Shandan Taiji, you have to go to the Beijing Dynasty to see before you can be canonized?! ”

After saying this, the Elu Chen also looked at Usutu with a puzzled face.

The living Buddha of Samuteng Osir, who is over seventy years old but is old and strong, does not know how the Ming court will deal with the ministers, but a person has a characteristic when he lives older, that is, he has experienced many things and seen many scenes.

An important reason for Samteng Osir to persuade the ministers to surrender was that the Ming court had always rewarded the leaders of the Mongol tribes attached to the foreign domains in the past.

According to his observations, the Ming Dynasty not only treated the leaders of the foreign domains attached to it with courtesy and generous annual rewards, but also always only had the name of a minister, your territory was yours, and your subordinates were still yours.

This reason is also the reason behind the surrender of Eluchen and Shandan, and of course the reason behind the surrender of Zamusu.

The Living Buddha of Samuteng Osir just picked out this truth and said it clearly.

And this is indeed the practice of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty to treat Mongolia or any surrounding vassal state, vassal and foreign state.

The emperors of the Ming Dynasty have changed, but their habits of treating the Ming Dynasty have not changed.

Therefore, after listening to Li Banghua's words, he suddenly had some doubts in his heart.

He looked at the Living Buddha of Samuteng Osr, and the latter's eyes, which had been squinted, opened at the same time.

The reaction of these people was already expected by Li Banghua, and seeing that they had doubts in their hearts, they immediately said:

"E, Shandan, since the two of you keep saying that you are sincerely attached to my Ming court and sincerely serve my Ming Emperor His Majesty, do you not want to go to the Ming Dynasty and meet my Ming Emperor His Majesty?!"

After saying this, Li Banghua's face turned cold, and he looked at the frightened two and said, "How the Ruxu people of the Ordos Department are settled depends entirely on the result of the two of you going to the Beijing Dynasty to meet this time!"

"Although His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is willing to be generous to the foreign domain, it also depends on the sincerity attached to the outer domain, otherwise why did hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the border army of the Ming Dynasty come here after working hard?!"

After Li Banghua finished saying this, there was a sound of armor and swords in the main hall of the palace built after the Eight White Rooms, where the King of Shunyi lived before.

The generals around Li Banghua, as well as the generals of Datong Town brought by Zu Dashou, saw that Li Banghua's face was not good, and they all stood up with swords in their hands.

Seeing this, the minister and Shandan said at the same time: "That's not what the foreign minister meant! The foreign ministers and others are willing to go to the Ming Jingshi and meet His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty! ”

It was also at this time that the Living Buddha of Samuteng Osir, who was treated like a guest by Li Banghua, also stood up, looked at the Eluchen who was casting a plea at him, and then bowed down and said to Li Banghua:

"Lord Ge! The lama is willing to accompany the nobles of the Ordos Department to Beijing to meet the Holy Lord, and ask for the permission of the elder of the pavilion! ”
