Chapter 421: Mongolia wants to negotiate

The war has turned into a one-sided slaughter. Finally, the Mongols in front of the position were killed by the Ming army, and they had become even more sparse.

These Mongol cavalry were valiant, but the result of bravery was to pay with their lives, and the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Even if the Mongols had the intention to fight, they could not touch the positions of the Ming army at all.

Bows and arrows could only be placed fifty or sixty meters away, but the firepower was too sparse, and the Ming soldiers were also equipped with helmets, and they hid in the trenches one by one to put their guns, and these bows and arrows did not pose much threat to the Ming soldiers. As long as the head shrinks, these bows and arrows have nothing to do with the Ming army.

Some of the bows and arrows thrown down fell from the heads of the Ming soldiers, and when they hit the Ming army, they only hit the helmets, even if they hit the shoulder or something, they only caused minor injuries, and the Ming soldiers who were hit by the arrows could basically continue to fight.

Of the 230,000 Mongol cavalry, most of them eventually fell in front of the battle.

"The Great Khan, our warriors, are basically killed in battle." One of the guards next to Lin Dan Khan tearfully reminded Lin Dan Khan with his eyes closed.

At this time, Lin Dan Khan opened his eyes, and the telescope looked around the battlefield, and everywhere he entered, corpses were all over the field and rivers of blood.

"Withdraw."

Lin Danhan put down the binoculars, closed his eyes helplessly, and then resolutely turned around and rode away. The remaining 70,000 Mongol cavalry immediately followed.

Those Mongol cavalry on the battlefield have been abandoned.

There was no need to rescue, although there were still many Mongolian cavalry on the battlefield who did not die, and some Mongolian cavalry fell off their horses and lay on the ground without losing their lives.

It was difficult for these Mongol cavalrymen to go back. They have lost their horses.

Lin Dan Khan if he continues to stay. It is likely to be stuck by the Ming army. This battle formation had already terrified all the Mongol cavalry. Even if Lin Dan Khan still had 70,000 Mongolian iron horsemen in his hands, he had lost all confidence and did not think that he could eat the Ming army in front of him, which only had tens of thousands of people.

The outcome of this war was already doomed after this battle.

The Mongols were so badly injured that they were no longer able to confront the Ming army head-on. can only continue to hide and hide on the grassland, when can he hide for as long as he can, Lin Dan Khan has no choice, it's a big deal to withdraw to Central Asia.

"The Mongols retreated."

"We've won."

"Long live the Ming Dynasty. Long live the saints. ”

When the Ming troops on the position saw the retreat of the Mongol army, they immediately broke out into a sea of cheers, and all the officers and soldiers rushed out of the trenches.

"The Mongols are really gone." After Xu Jia was sure that the main Mongol force had indeed retreated, he ordered: "Clean up the battlefield immediately." ”

This battlefield is obviously not easy to clean, there are too many corpses.

But the Ming army couldn't let these corpses continue to be exposed in the wild, which could easily cause a plague or something, and it was inhumane.

The Ming army began to move out of their positions and sweep the battlefield of the Mongol cavalry that were still alive.

The Mongolian language of surrender and not killing sounded everywhere, and those Mongolian cavalry saw that the battle was over, and they rarely resisted stubbornly. Raise your hands and surrender to the Ming army.

After some sweeping, nearly 30,000 Mongol cavalry were captured. At the same time, there are a large number of seriously injured Mongolian cavalry, for these seriously injured Mongolian cavalry, the military doctors of the 006 division can only try their best to rescue, how much can be saved, at this time the Ming army's surgical technology has made great progress, but many Mongolian cavalry have been rescued, but there are too many Mongolian cavalry who saw arms and legs.

In the field hospital, there was blood and howls everywhere.

Then the Ming army began to organize prisoners, dig a large pit together, and move the corpses of those Mongolian cavalry and the corpses of war horses into the pit and bury them separately.

The location of the mass grave was not recorded until a hundred years later, when a mining company was mining in Mongolia.

The battlefield was cleaned for nearly three days before the 006 Division buried all the corpses on the battlefield into the pit. The Mongol casualties in this battle reached more than 200,000, which was unprecedentedly tragic.

Of course, this is nothing compared to the First World War, where heavy machine guns were used in large numbers in history.

However, the number of enemy troops killed in a single day was not as high as in the First World War.

At the same time that the 006th Division achieved a great victory, the other four infantry divisions that penetrated deep into the hinterland of the steppe also achieved considerable results, sweeping away many Mongolian tribes.

It is spring, and the animals that have been in the sheepfold for the winter need to come out to graze, which is a very important production stage in Mongolia.

The Mongolian tribes in the steppe, at this time are busy grazing or something.

Under such circumstances, these four infantry divisions could easily find the traces of the Mongol tribes on the steppe, and as long as there were cattle and sheep, there would inevitably be Mongol tribes in the vicinity.

At this time, the main Mongolian force had been transferred by Lin Dan Khan to deal with the 006 Division, and these Mongolian tribes were scattered all over the steppe to graze, and they were simply powerless to resist when they encountered these Ming troops. These infantry divisions did not even use machine guns, and directly fired from their rifles, and these Mongol tribes were beaten to the ground.

And these Mongolian tribesmen can run, but the old and weak women and children are not good at running, and those cattle and sheep can't run fast at all, if they run away with cattle and sheep, they will inevitably be caught up by the Ming army, if they don't run away with these cattle and sheep, people will definitely starve to death, and fall into an unsolvable knot.

These Mongol tribes had no choice but to surrender under the sweep of the Ming army, and the Ming army did not kill them cleanly, let alone carry out any massacres.

After the conquest of Mongolia, the Han people did not adapt to the environment on the Mongolian steppe, and not many Han people were willing to go to the steppe to graze, so the Mongols still needed to take on the production task. Therefore, after the surrender of these Mongol tribes, the Ming army escorted these Mongol tribes to the grassland area occupied by the Ming army, which were all prisoners and trophies of the Ming Dynasty.

The infantry divisions that entered the steppe to sweep were only less than 200 miles deep, and it was not too much trouble to escort the herdsmen and livestock of these Mongolian tribes back.

What is Lin Dan Khan doing at this time?

After the retreat of the main Mongol force, which was hit with a lot of bags in front of the 006th Division, it soon felt that nothing was good.

Conflicts soon arose within the Mongols, and Lin Dan Khan did not lead them to victory. On the contrary, it is leading them to annihilation.

The tribes of Mobei Mongolia were suddenly not very happy. If it really goes to the annihilation. Their interest in Mongol domination was about to be lost. When the time comes, there will be no good days, so what's the point of calling around? simply surrendered, Da Ming, forget it.

Many Mongolian nobles clamored to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, before the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia commoditized economic cooperation, in fact, these Mongolian nobles have tasted the sweetness, their income has increased, and they can also enjoy the Ming Dynasty exports to Mongolia of various goods.

Many of the ordinary goods of the Ming Dynasty were completely luxury goods for these Mongolians in the past. And now there are more and more new luxury goods in the Ming Dynasty, which make the Mongolian nobles very satisfied with the interests of the previous rule. But Lin Dan Khan's decision-making. Lost all the good days.

Lin Dan Khan is also very innocent, specially, why didn't you say this before the war.

Before the war, which Mongol nobleman would have imagined that the situation would turn out to be like this. On the one hand, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty became even more terrifying, and the Mongolian cavalry was simply sent to death in front of the firearms of the Ming army, and they did not even have a chance to get close. On the other hand, Daming frantically built railways and towns on the grassland, which was simply a trick from the bottom of the kettle.

At the same time, the Ming army, which swept deep into Mongolia, also caused serious disruption to Mongolian production. Now the main Mongolian forces see infantry divisions like the 006 Division, and they basically go around. You can only transfer in advance, and when you don't have time to run, you can only abandon those tribes that don't have time to transfer.

There was no dare to send the main force to fight the Ming army in order to cover the retreat of those tribes.

"We have to negotiate with Mingguo. If we continue like this, we will be left with nothing. The Mongol nobles were in a ruckus.

The situation at hand. For their interests, there is only negotiation with Daming. In fact, it is to compromise with the Ming Dynasty in order to protect some interests.

If they really retreat to Central Asia, how much benefit will they have left by then?

There will definitely be people starving to death on the way, and I don't know if Daming will continue to chase them. At that time, once they are continuously pursued and killed by the Ming Dynasty, they will be completely finished. There is no time to rectify production, not to mention, there are no good robbery targets, and they have to be hunted down continuously.

The only thing that can keep the interests of the rule is to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty.

Lin Dan Khan had no choice but to comply with the will of the people and send envoys to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the internal turmoil would have to be turned upside down.

……

It is said that after Zhu Youxiao received the good news from the 006 Division, he was stunned for a long time on the spot. A group of staff officers of the Supreme Command were also stunned, they didn't expect the war to be so dramatic, the main force of the Ming army had not yet come into contact with the main Mongolian force, and the main Mongolian force was disabled by the Ming Dynasty?

"Mongolia has about 500,000 troops, and this time the 006 Division annihilated as many as 230,000 Mongolian cavalry, but the Mongolian troops are still about 270,000, and when cleaning the battlefield, no elite cavalry of the Mongols was found." Sun Chengzong analyzed.

"Although the current Mongolia is greatly damaged, it still has the strength to fight, but it may have been frightened by the 006 Division." Mao Yuanyi speculated, everyone couldn't help nodding, no matter how thick the nerves were, in the face of the machine gun fire network of the Ming Dynasty, which army in this year would not collapse.

The technological progress of the Ming Dynasty has begun to form a crushing strength against Mongolia.

"It seems that my personal expedition this time has really turned into a spring break." Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing, and there was laughter in the headquarters, and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed.

The difficult years of bitterness have become a thing of the past, and now it is the stage when Zhu Youxiao is in the world. But for the Mongolian ruling class, these were bitter years.

Due to the heavy damage to the main Mongolian force, there were no Mongolian cavalry to harass the construction site for a while, and a large number of Ming soldiers and workers worked hard day after day. Railways, towns and forts along the way have been built extensively.

In three months, the railway could reach Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia in the future.

The weapons and equipment in the rear were continuously transported to the front line, and a large number of central armies completed the refitting during the war, and the longer the war dragged on, the larger the scale of the Ming army's redressing, the more beneficial it was to the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, a large number of heavy artillery pieces were transported to the grasslands, and these heavy guns were installed in the town batteries.

Forts and machine guns, these towns are impregnable.

With such a fortification, the Mongols could not take a city even with a million troops. It was only a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty completely occupied the grasslands.

It was at this time that the Mongol negotiating mission came.

The two armies fought without slashing the envoys, but the Ming still gave the Mongolian mission a certain courtesy and escorted them all the way over. Zhu Youxiao immediately asked Honglu Temple to form a negotiation team to negotiate with the Mongolian mission.

You can talk about it, and what you can't talk about. It's nothing more than a drama of sitting on the ground and paying back the money on the spot. The negotiations between the two sides can be negotiated slowly, but the process of building railways and towns is to stop and build them at the same speed as they want.

Anyway, whether it is appropriate to talk about it or not, Daming fully occupies the initiative.

The Mongolian negotiating team first made conditions at the negotiating table, as long as the Ming withdrew its troops from Mongolia, Mongolia was willing to bow down to the Ming Dynasty and pay tribute, and immediately cut off the contact with the remnants of Jiannu, and assist the Ming Dynasty to exterminate the remnants of Jiannu.

"Maybe we can accept this condition before the war. But it's too late now, since our Ming Dynasty has sent troops to the grassland, the daily military expenditure is millions of yuan, can you Mongolia afford such a loss? The Ming negotiating team said very simply: "If you want to stop the war, you can also let your Lin Dan Khan lead the army to surrender, and all the Mongolian soldiers lay down their arms and let the Ming deal with them." ”

"It can't be." The Mongolian negotiators stood up directly angrily, and the Ming negotiators simply said: "Then see you on the battlefield, let's divide the ranks!" ”

"This, the Ming Kingdom has always been the **** kingdom, and we in Mongolia have fully realized our mistakes, can't we live in peace?" The Mongolian negotiators immediately relented, and they had no strong confidence at all.

"Whether you surrender or not, it doesn't matter to us Daming at all. As long as we build the railways in the Ming Dynasty, there will be no place for you Mongolia. In just one year, our Daming railway can be built over most areas of the entire grassland. When the time comes, you won't even have the power to sit down at the negotiating table. ”

The Mongols were clearly stunned.

"No way, how can it be done in a year." The Mongolian negotiators exclaimed, looking incredulous. The negotiators on Daming's side simply took out the map and spread it out on the negotiating table.

"In less than half a month, our Daming railway has already built 500 miles, and it will be able to build your new royal city in three months. In three months, another horizontal railway can be built, and then you Mongolia will be cut into four pieces. The Shaoqing of the Daming Honglu Temple, who was sent to negotiate, smiled directly: "Haha, how will you Mongolia gain a foothold in the steppe at that time?" ”

"No, we don't believe that you Ming have such great financial resources to build so many roads and cities on the grassland." The Mongolian negotiators instinctively chose not to believe it, because the blueprint for the future depicted on the map was a death story for Mongolia. (To be continued.) )
