When the Chechen Khan fell from his horse, the people who followed him were stunned, but no one moved.

After a long time, one of the cavalrymen on his left jumped off his horse and lay down beside the Chechen Khan, and seeing that the Chechen Khan was already delirious, he suddenly pulled out the scimitar at his waist and cut off the head of the Chechen Khan with a strong stroke.

He grabbed his hair with one hand, turned over his horse, and went straight to the Ming army.

The guards and soldiers who were guarding Zhu Youzhen's side immediately stepped forward and blocked his way.

"Let him come!" Zhu Youzhen understood, and he stopped the guards and soldiers around him.

In front of Zhu Youzhen, the person who came turned over and fell off the horse, knelt down on one leg, held the head of the Chechen Khan with both hands, and raised it above his head: "Knock on the Emperor Ming, the Chechen Khan does not know the current affairs and has been killed by the villain." ”

"Killed?" Zhu Youzhen thought to himself, if you kill it, this account will not be counted on Da Ming's head in the future, "What's your name?" What is your current job? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the villain's name is Umengfu, and now he is the commander of a thousand people." Without Zhu Youzhen's approval, Umengfu continued to kneel in front of Zhu Youzhen's horse.

"Get up and talk!" Zhu Youzhen said in his heart, there are not many cavalry under the Chechen Khan's tent, and the status of the commander is not low, since he is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it should be useful to keep it, "What about the others?" Are they willing to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty? ”

"Your Majesty, the villain has asked, and there are not a few people who are willing to serve the Ming Dynasty."

"If you go back now, can you convince them all to take refuge in Daming? You don't have to worry, if someone refuses to submit, Daming will not skimp on a bullet. ”

"Majesty, if the villain goes back, most people will submit to the Ming Dynasty, as long as His Majesty can save their lives."

"Don't worry about this, since I have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and are the people of the Ming Dynasty, how could I innocently kill my own people?" Zhu Youzhen smiled secretly, Bumu Butai said well, in the face of death, the Mongols no longer have the warriors of Genghis Khan's era.

"Your Majesty, in this way, if the villain goes back, they will definitely return to the Ming Dynasty."

"Go ahead!" Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, "Wumengfu, if you can say that all the herdsmen will return to the Ming Dynasty, I will take credit for you." ”

"Thank you!" Umunfu leaned down and gave Zhu Youzhen three knocks.

"Go and come back, I'm waiting for you here."

Umunv mounted his horse and returned to the Chechen Khan's tent with his hooves raised.

About half an hour later, Umenf returned, followed by more than a dozen cavalrymen.

"Your Majesty, they all agreed to submit to the Ming Dynasty." Umengfu took the lead, and the people behind him knelt down in front of Zhu Youzhen.

"You've done a good job, I'll give you credit!" Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed, and he pointed to the cavalry behind Umungfu: "Who are they?" ”

"Your Majesty, they are the commanders of the thousand and the centurion, and they are all here to visit your majesty."

"Get up first!" Zhu Youzhen looked at this group of officers under the Chechen Khan, and stroked the horse whip in his hand, "How many herdsmen do you still have now?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, there were originally 18,000 herdsmen near the big tent, but now ...... Now there are only 15,000 people. ”

"Fifteen thousand? That's a lot, in the future, you will all be the people of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will ensure that you have enough food and clothing," Zhu Youzhen looked at the herdsmen in the distance, and he was really not at ease with these herdsmen: "Are the Ming Dynasty all sincere to the Ming Dynasty?" ”

"Yes, Majesty, whatever Your Majesty asks them to do, they will not object."

Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly, this is the case on the grassland, weak tribes will always be attached to strong tribes, once the weak tribes are strong, they will break away from jurisdiction, and even wage war against the original master.

"I said in the front, if you are sincerely obedient to the Ming Dynasty, you have to accept the arrangements of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will ensure that you live a prosperous life," Zhu Youzhen's face was colder than the water of the Krulun River, "If you are not sincerely obedient, don't blame me for being ruthless when the time comes, the Dajin Kingdom is disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty has been wiped out." ”

"Your Majesty," Wumengfu and the others were weak, and almost knelt down again, "Your Majesty, we are sincerely obedient, if there is a half-hearted, let Your Majesty punish you." ”

"That's good, Umungfu, I'll give you a Chinese name first!" Zhu Youzhen thought for a while, "Let's take the surname Li, Li is the national surname of the Tang Dynasty, you met me on the bank of the Krulun River, so your name is Li Lun." ”

"Thank you for the name." Li Lun knelt down again and bowed down in front of Zhu Youzhen.

"Learn Chinese well in the future, and the Ming Dynasty will reuse you," Zhu Youzhen jumped off his horse and helped Li Lun up with his own hands, "Now that the Chechen Khan is dead, you can temporarily restrain these herdsmen for me!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"Let all the herdsmen, with their cattle, horses and sheep, go with me!" Zhu Youzhen patted Li Lun on the shoulder, "This is the first task I gave you, don't let me down." ”

"Your Majesty, where are we going?" Li Lun looked at Zhu Youzhen blankly.

"Go to the north, a place rich in water and grass, and after that, you will settle there, and you will no longer have to be busy moving around."

"Never have to migrate again?" Li Lun's eyes widened, the Mongols have always lived after water and grass, they only have mobile yurts, but no fixed houses, "Your Majesty, is there really such a place?" ”

"Of course, since you have returned to the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will let you live a life without worrying about food and clothing, where you can not only graze, but also plant the crops of the Han people, and when the harvest season comes, you are not only richer than other Mongolians, but also the Han people, and many people are not as good as you."

Bu Mu Butai said with envy, and she secretly asked Zhu Youzhen in Chinese: "Your Majesty, is there really such a place?" ”

Zhu Youzhen paused for a moment, "Of course there is, do you think I will fool them?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Lun learned from the Han people, and bowed to Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, the villain will go back and arrange it." ”

"Go ahead, try your best, I'm waiting for you here."

Li Lun got on his horse and returned to the herdsmen with the commanders and centurions behind him.

In less than an hour, they packed up, all the belongings and children were put on horseback, and the women basically had horses to ride, only a few strong men, who followed behind the horses on foot.

The army took the herdsmen with them all the way to the north.

On the way, he encountered some sporadic herdsmen, Zhu Youzhen first surrounded them with a large army, and then asked Li Lun to lobby, and the number of herdsmen gradually reached 18,000.

Zhu Youzhen suspected that the herdsmen were walking too slowly and delaying the journey of the army, so he left Wang Mujiu and the first royal army to accompany these herdsmen all the way, and he took Mangui and Hong Chengchou to the north first.

An army of 40,000 marched lightly, and three days later they came across a river that crossed in front of them and blocked the way of the army.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the wide river, "What kind of river is this?" How is it so wide? ”

asked all the soldiers, but no one could understand, and in the end, Bumu Butai stood up: "Your Majesty, this is the river of difficulties, and it is the place where Genghis Khan rose back then." ”

"The River of Trouble?" What Zhu Youzhen thought of was that he had been here during Chengzu's Northern Expedition, so this was also the western source of the Nuer Gandu Division, "Send two soldiers to go down to test the depth of the river." ”

Two horsemen rode into the river and ran through it for a while.

Zhu Youzhen saw that the river was not deep, and the place in the middle of the river had not yet been flooded on horseback, "The army crosses the river!" ”

When the soldiers began to cross the river, Zhu Youzhen summoned two heralds, "Go back to tell Sù Mujiu, cross the difficult river, leave a thousand herdsmen behind, let them settle along the river, temporarily leave a division of troops, while guarding the herdsmen, choose a suitable location, build a city, build houses, and prepare for winter." ”

After crossing the difficult river, the army continued to move north, and Zhu Youzhen didn't know where the final goal was, but he felt that the final goal was about to arrive.

After two more days of travel, the cavalry on the left flank reported back to Zhu Youzhen, and they found an unknown mountain, which ran northeast-southwest.

"Big mountain?" Zhu Youzhen estimated the distance, it should be time to enter Central Siberia, the current mountain, the Russians must have named it, but unfortunately he doesn't know, even if he knows, it's useless, this will be the land of the Ming Dynasty, and the mountain must have a Chinese name, "You continue to walk along the mountain and see where we can meet." ”

Half a day later, Zhu Youzhen joined the cavalry on the left flank, and the place where they met happened to be a mountain pass, and there was a river that passed south of the mountain pass, and the river meandered to the east.

"It's a really good place, it's close to the mountains and rivers, the mountains can block the cold currents from the north, with the mountain passes, the traffic is not too closed, and the rivers flow in front of the mountains, where there is water, there will be life."

Zhu Youzhen estimated the location, from the Krulun River to the north, the journey is not a thousand miles, there are also **100 miles, it should be close to the fishing sea, but from the captured herdsmen, the fishing sea is still seven or eight hundred miles to the west.

Hearing that Yuerhai is due west, Zhu Youzhen is particularly excited, this world's largest freshwater lake is next to his footprints, as long as he wants, he will soon become the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

However, it is still seven or eight hundred miles away, Zhu Youzhen has no time to go to the lake for the time being, the weather has already begun to cool down, winter will come soon, he must set off to return to Beijing before winter comes.

Zhu Youzhen took out the map of the army and marked the location where it appeared, this unknown mountain, since Zhu Youzhen encountered it, he was ready to give it a Chinese name.

He was going to find an elegant name from the "Book of Songs", but his mind was full of the words Da Ya and Xiao Ya, so he said to the soldiers around him: "This big mountain, let's call it Yashan!" ”

As for the river that flows in front of the mountain, I asked the herdsmen, but they didn't know, or Bumu Butai satisfied Zhu Youzhen's curiosity and said that it was called the Yinguoda River.

"Ingoda?" Zhu Youzhen muttered softly, it didn't feel like a Chinese name, nor was it as catchy as Hari Zhula and Hailar, and he was ready to change his name again.

Just now he used the "Ya" in the "Book of Songs", and now correspondingly, he immediately thought of the word "national style", "Yes, it's called Fenghe, and there is absolutely no duplicate name." ”
