Chapter 952: Gentle Heart
When the leader of the Xibe tribe, Mo Si, and the leader of the Daurian tribe, Tong Cha, met with each other, they ignored each other, the Mongolian personality was straightforward, and some opinions were written on their faces, but this time it was Su Tiancheng who came to the Mongolian steppe in person, and the two did not dare to delay time, according to Sun Yuankun's arrangement, they each led 20,000 troops to Fengzhen to make peace with the Jiangning battalion soldiers.
There is no need to say the hardships along the way, Sun Yuankun is very troubled by this, and he needs to keep it secret, but Mo Si and Tong Cha are just not willing to be together, Sun Yuankun can't be reluctant, he can only coordinate as much as possible, plus the army to which the two belong is marching together, there may also be conflicts, in this case, it is necessary to ensure the speed of the march, the difficulty can be imagined.
Sun Yuankun and Liu Ji have the same opinion, thinking that Mo Si, the leader of the Xibe tribe, is unqualified, and he can be replaced if he has the opportunity, to say that Su Tiancheng has done this, it is not a very difficult thing, Mo Si's heir is in the capital, and he can return to the tribe to preside over the overall situation, as for Mo Si, just find a way to deal with it.
According to the scheduled time, the two armies finally arrived in Fengzhen.
Because Su Tiancheng came to the grassland, Mo Si and Tong Cha didn't dare to make trouble casually, especially Mo Si, who trusted Jia Jihan and had already lost, if he encountered Su Tiancheng's punishment, it was uncertain.
Sun Yuankun first met Su Tiancheng.
I haven't seen Su Tiancheng for many years, Sun Yuankun is the oldest veteran of the Jiangning Battalion, when Su Tiancheng was still taking the imperial examination, Sun Yuankun took refuge under Su Tiancheng, and led the 3,000 soldiers who used to belong to Xiong Tingbi, and it was these 3,000 people who became the earliest backbone of the Jiangning Battalion, and many of them have become the backbone and officers of the Jiangning Battalion.
After Su Tiancheng left Shaanxi. Because of his age, Sun Yuankun has always stayed in Anning Fort, originally thinking that he could live a peaceful and stable life, guarding the mutual market between Anning Fort and Jingbian, regardless of what kind of fight he participated in, but he didn't think about the change in the situation. Sun Yuankun must also participate in the conquest of the grassland.
After meeting Su Tiancheng and greeting him, Sun Yuankun also expressed his own opinion, suggesting that Su Tiancheng consider whether to adjust the leader of the Xibe tribe, if this continues for a long time, there will be problems in the end, Mo Si is ambitious, and he will not be satisfied with sticking to the Hetao grassland. On the contrary, Tong Cha, the leader of the Dauri tribe, has a lot of duties, although there are also people in the tribe who instigate, but Tong Cha can adhere to his own views and will never do anything unfavorable to the Ming court and Su Tiancheng.
Su Tiancheng hadn't seen Mo Si and Tong Cha yet, but Liu Ji and Sun Yuankun both put forward suggestions to adjust the leaders of the Xibe tribe.
Su Tiancheng didn't think about this matter, and finally gave up, it is normal for people to be ambitious. Only those who are ambitious have a pioneering spirit. Of course, in the eyes of many officers in the Jiangning battalion, Tong Cha is stronger than Mo Si, and what the Ming court needs is obedient people and people who obey all arrangements, from this aspect. Mo Si is obviously a little unqualified.
But Su Tiancheng's thoughts and opinions are a little different.
The ruler is short and the inch is long, in this world, there is no perfect person, and I hope that everyone will come out of the same mold, and they are all extremely brave. It's all obedient, that's impossible, it's not so simple in this world. Judging from the development of the Xibe tribe and the Dauria tribe over the years, Mo Si has a certain ability, the development of the Xibe tribe has surpassed the Dauria tribe, and the sergeants of the Xibe tribe are very capable of fighting.
The grassland also needs a hegemon, and a person like Mo Si is suitable to serve as the overlord of the grassland, no matter what kind of mind he has in mind, there is one thing that Mo Si can grasp, that is, he does not dare to go against the will of the Ming Dynasty, as long as he adheres to this bottom line, it is very good.
Of course, Su Tiancheng also had to knock Mo Si.
When Mo Si and Tong Cha saw Su Tiancheng, their expressions were different, Tong Cha was calm and did not do anything wrong, Mo Si was anxious, afraid of being punished, plus Su Tiancheng was already a cabinet scholar, with monstrous power, and pinched the key point of the Xibe tribe, and basically controlled the economic lifeline of the Xibe tribe through mutual markets.
Hong Chengchou, Qin Liangyu, Qu Qingze and others were all in the house.
After Su Tiancheng simply greeted Mo Si and Tong Cha, he began to assign tasks.
"The three-way army of 100,000 people has all been assembled, today is December 26th, the time is very tight, such a huge team has been gathered, the news cannot be completely confidential, I believe that in a day or two, the surrounding will be able to know the news, the army will set off tomorrow, the soldiers are divided into three ways, the Xibe tribe sergeant, responsible for attacking the front banner of the right wing of the Chahar tribe, the Daurian tribe sergeant, responsible for attacking the rear banner of the Chahar tribe, and the Jiangning battalion is responsible for attacking the middle banner of the Chahar tribe, and they should pay attention to coordination with each other."
"Hong Chengchou is responsible for commanding the battle of the front banner of the attack, Mo Si assists in commanding, Qin Liangyu is responsible for commanding the battle of the rear banner of the attack, Tong Cha assists in commanding, 10,000 Datong border troops, divided into two parts, 5,000 people follow Hong Chengchou, responsible for the attack on the front banner of the Chahar tribe, 5,000 people follow Qin Liangyu, responsible for the attack on the rear banner of the Chahar tribe, the specific battle plan, you have to determine it yourself, but there is one general requirement, that is, the sergeants of the Chahar tribe must be exterminated to the greatest extent."
"I have long emphasized that it is not allowed to kill innocents indiscriminately, and this point must still be insisted on, in the process of conquest and fighting, it is forbidden to use hands against the old and weak, women and children, and the contest between armies is a contest between men, and in addition, it is not allowed to kill prisoners......
After the arrangement was completed, Su Tiancheng asked Mo Si to stay, and the rest of the people went to prepare.
Mo Si looked uneasy, he had already seen Sun Yuankun and Liu Ji before, thinking that Liu Ji was almost killed, if it wasn't for his quick reaction, maybe the fight between the Xibe tribe and the Daurian tribe had already begun, so all Su Tiancheng's arrangements had come to naught, and he couldn't bear such a dereliction of duty.
Su Tiancheng's face was serious, and he couldn't see any smile.
"Mo Si, a few days ago, I was disappointed by your performance."
Mo Si's body trembled.
"My lord, Mo Si doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and I am sure that the adults will give Mo Si a chance."
"You yourself can realize that it is the best, in fact, everyone has ambitions, ambition will work hard, the development of the Xibe tribe over the years is still good, it shows that you are capable, I have no objection to people having ambitions, but it must be controlled within a certain range, you have always wanted to be the overlord of the grassland, which is understandable, in fact, I also think, after the government Mongolian tribe, recommend you to be the overlord of the grassland."
Mo was stunned for a moment, a little unconvinced, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
"Big, adult, Mo Si doesn't dare to have such an idea."
Su Tiancheng looked at Mo Si.
"I'm telling the truth, the situation in the grassland is complicated, even if we conquer the grassland, we need a tribe to manage the grassland, just like the previous Chahar Lindan, but Lin Dan was too tyrannical, which caused the opposition of the grassland tribes, and finally brought about self-destruction, the Great Khan who ruled the grassland, we must do two things, the first is to obey the leadership of the imperial court, and the second is to be able to really soften the many tribes of the grassland, with enough prestige, just like the Horqin tribe and the Chahar tribe today."
"The grassland is part of the Ming Dynasty, the station of the Chahar tribe, was once my Ming Dynasty's Xuandewei, Guanshanwei, the station of the Tumut tribe, used to be my Ming Dynasty's Yunchuan Wei, the station of the Jungger tribe, used to be my Ming Dynasty's Dongshengwei, but now what is the situation, it all belongs to the Houjin Tartars, this time the expedition is just my Ming court to re-plan the order of the grassland, after the conquest of the grassland, my Ming court is to re-set up the guard, the Great Khan, who commands the grassland, must deal with the relationship with the guard."
"You have the ability, the soldiers of the Xibe tribe are strong and brave, I believe that you lead the warriors of the Xibe tribe to be able to dominate the entire grassland, once we conquer the grassland, I will recommend you to the emperor and canonize you as the Great Khan of the grassland, and rule the entire grassland."
"But the ugly words are also to be said in the front, if your ambition goes beyond the boundary, and even thinks about establishing yourself as a king, thinking about asking for the control of the imperial court, the imperial court will never sit idly by, and at that time, I am afraid that the Xibe tribe will also suffer a catastrophe, I don't want to see such a situation."
"Today I specifically talk to you, that is, I ask you to rest assured, obey the leadership of the imperial court, don't have too many ambitions, I won't pursue the past, whether you are qualified to be the Great Khan of the steppe, it depends on your own ability, if you can't make great contributions in this expedition, I'm afraid others will not be convinced."
After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Mo Si completely understood.
He walked in front of Su Tiancheng and knelt on one knee.
"My lord, Mo Si swears here, if my Xibe tribe dares to betray the imperial court, I will let the Xibe tribe be extinct forever, not only Mo Si, Mo Si's descendants, but also forever loyal to the imperial court, this time the conquest, Mo Si will do his best to exterminate the Horqin tribe, the Chahar tribe, and all the Mongolian tribes of the Golden Tartar after surrender."
Su Tiancheng helped Mo Si up, didn't say anything, and patted Mo Si on the shoulder hard.
After Mo Si left, Qu Qingze, Sun Yuankun, Liu Ji and others came out of the back room.
Qu Qingze was very emotional.
"Adults have a discerning eye, so that the grassland can be peaceful, but it's a little unfair to Tong Cha."
"Tong Cha does not have the ability to become the Great Khan of the grassland, if you want to rule the grassland, you must be a Mongolian tribe, and it is not feasible for the imperial court to send officials and troops, so the imperial court must encircle the leaders of the tribe to maintain the peace of the grassland."
