Chapter 315: Surrender (Part II)

Wuban knelt and climbed a few steps, hugged Zhang Ke's thigh, and cried so that the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dark, and the grassland was short of water in the future, and he was bombarded into the sky, and it could rain artificially.

Zhang Ke glared at him fiercely: "You dare to get snot on your clothes, I promise you will regret it for the rest of your life!" ”

As if electrocuted, Wuban hurriedly retracted his hand.

"Forgive me, it's all forced! It's still freezing outside, and the grassland is full of wild wolves, and there are more robbers than wolves. If you have mercy on us, give each tribe some firecrackers! If we can save our lives, we will definitely regard adults as living Buddhas, and we will worship them day and night, and the incense will continue to ......."

"Don't say it, Lao Tzu is not dead yet, no (use incense!)

Zhang Ke's face was gloomy, and his gaze swept over everyone unkindly, and he saw that the big guy was creepy.

"You don't have to be delusional for the time being, only those who are truly loyal to the Ming Dynasty and loyal to the official can get it, not to mention that the fire gun is difficult to train, even if I give it to you, it's useless, let's see what I do in the future."

As soon as these words came out, Shanba seemed to have eaten betel nut Shunqi pills, not to mention how comfortable he was, and looked at the others with a squint, clearly saying: Lao Tzu is the most trusted person in Zhang Shaobao, you all get out of the way!

Zhang Ke paused and said, "But if you are sincere and obedient, this official will not push you to a dead end." There are only two problems you have to solve, one is to starve, and the other is to be beaten! ”

Bale has the best Chinese, and he greatly admires Zhang Ke's summary.

"My lord hit the nail on the head, the tribe is full of young and strong, most of the livestock have died from the white plague, and the food has run out, we really have no way to live!"

Zhang Ke sneered at their crying poverty, if he hadn't been mad and attacked Yingzhou, he would not have ended up like this, these Tartars don't deserve sympathy at all. Of course, Zhang Ke did not have enough strength to unify the grassland. They must be utilized.

"These two problems are actually easy to deal with, as long as you help to establish the ranch and send your young men to the ranch as workers, someone will naturally lend you silver, and the grain will be shipped immediately."

Zhang Ke is not talking big, he has already contacted Jin Shang, these old Xi'er have great powers, they have long coveted the woolen profiteering, and they are willing to buy grassland with grain.

Wuban peeked at Zhang Ke. Bite one's tongue.

"What are you afraid of, this official doesn't eat people, if you have any doubts, just who is it?"

Wuban hurriedly said, "What's going on with this ranch? ”

"It is to divide the pastures and hand them over to the merchants to operate, raise sheep and produce wool."

"My lord, isn't this our life?" A few young Taiji have stood up, the grassland is their lifeblood, and for hundreds of years, people's heads have been beaten out of dogs' heads, how can they be taken away by Zhang Ke with a word!

I knew it was like this. Even if he fought hard and the blood flowed, he couldn't bow his head to Zhang Ke.

"Sit it all down for me!" Zhang Ke smiled coldly: "You have to figure out who wins and who loses, and you have to figure out who walks out of this door." You are the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, what will happen to you, you know! ”

Don't look at Zhang Ke and the wind and drizzle, but once angry. It is also thunder and fire, thunder and smoke artillery, especially a group of defeated generals. I was even more frightened.

"The pasture just divides the right to use the pasture, the pasture still belongs to you, the herdsmen inside are still your subordinates, if there is a war, you can also requisition, when will the official take away your grassland!"

"Not really." Wu Ban asked puzzledly: "My lord, since you want to raise sheep, we can do it, why bother to make any pastures, do this extra move!" ”

"Fart!"

Zhang Ke sneered and said, "In addition to having fun and fighting, what else will you do?" A bunch of people who can't even figure out the arithmetic, and still want to run a ranch? Do you know how many sheep can be raised on how much pasture, how to breed, and choose the best of the best? The official has ordered the purchase of a batch of fine-wool sheep from the West, which produce a lot of wool and the wool is soft and delicate. With good sheep, there is good wool! Relying on you to operate, it won't take a few years, and even the pants will be lost! A bunch of useless things, let you relax, lie on the kang and count the money, don't you want to? ”

Some people may not be obedient if they are kind and good-spoken, but after a bad scolding, they become obedient. The Taiji people present were guilty of cheapness, and when they saw Zhang Ke's beard, they were furious, and no one dared to say more.

If it is really according to what Zhang Ke said, the grassland is still theirs, and it is not impossible to have a fixed income every year.

Shanba stood up and said with a stern face: "Zhang Shaobao has always been interesting to his friends, as long as he is honest and obedient, he will not suffer." Most of those who push back are not well-intentioned, and they may not betray adults at any time! ”

Zhang Ke looked at everyone with a smile and asked narrowly, "Is what he said right?" ”

"No, no! We are all single-minded and obey the arrangement of adults, but we are worried that we will not understand clearly and live up to the kindness of adults, please forgive me, forgive me! Bale hurriedly explained.

There were a few Taiyoshi who were sweating behind their backs, as if they had entered a sauna, and their legs trembled with fright.

"My lord, we are all convinced, my lord, don't listen to Shanba's nonsense, our respect for adults is like a surging river, endless......"

"Okay, don't say New Year's greetings." Zhang Ke said: "After talking about the issue of starvation, let's talk about the matter of being beaten, your tribes are not allowed to hate each other, let alone kill each other." The tribe that violates the rules, as long as the official knows, will not be severely punished, the leader will be killed, and the ordinary people will be used as slaves, and no one will be an exception! ”

The infighting in Mongolia is terrible, and if it can be completely resolved, the tribes will have no worries, which is indeed a very good thing.

"It's not enough to stop fighting inside, what about people outside? The officer will give you a quota of 20,000 soldiers, go back to your tribe, recruit warriors, use the best equipment, train strictly, and the officer will send people to help with the training. These 20,000 people obey your command in peacetime, and in wartime, they must cooperate with their own troops to form a coalition army to jointly protect the grassland pastures! ”

Everyone present fell into contemplation again, there are only 20,000 places, it is really a lot of wolves and less meat, the big tribes in the past, they can take out 20,000 people, although they have suffered losses, they can still take out a lot of people! But the number of places is limited, what should I do?

Zhang Ke didn't let them worry for long, and said with a smile: "Shanba, your meritorious service this time is very great, and this official will appoint you as the deputy commander-in-chief, responsible for the selection and training of 20,000 people." Remember, don't let this officer down! ”

After speaking, Zhang Ke patted his buttocks, got up and left, don't leave a little time for these people, you quarrel by yourself, Lao Tzu is too lazy to take care of you!

Zhang Ke went straight back to the study, and at this time, the results of the pursuers from all walks of life were counted, and the final results were gathered in front of him. Zhang Ke forcibly suppressed his excitement and washed his hands and face. Suppressing his excitement, he opened the statistics booklet.

In the first battle of Yingzhou, the Ming army annihilated more than 47,000 Tartars, of which 18,000 died under the city of Yingzhou, and captured one slave chieftain Gartu, who was sent to the capital. The rest of the large and small Taiji were captured, totaling more than 160 people, except for a dozen of them who were killed by Zhang Ke, the others were all surrendered. Use them to help stabilize the dìng grassland.

As for the seized materials, after only a few glances, Zhang Ke felt that his blood was swollen and his breathing was short......

Eighty-three thousand horses. 130,000 pack horses, 23,000 tents, 100,000 bows and arrows, and 230,000 taels of silver......

Zhang Ke calculated silently. A warlike horse, which could be bought for fifteen taels in Quang Ninh, arrived in the interior. At least twenty-five taels.

More than 80,000 horses were captured at once, and the Yizhou cavalry could not be used even if it was one person with three horsemen, and one person with five horsemen. The rest of the war horses are sold to the nine sides, to ensure that some people are robbed, all the generals who support their families, which do not need excellent war horses to decorate the faΓ§ade, just the horses, let alone can be sold for 500,000 taels!

To fight a war is to make money!

Zhang Ke continued to look down, in this battle, the Ming army subdued more than a dozen large and small tribes, restored the entire territory of the original Daning Dusi, and also extended his hand to the rich Liaohe Loop.

The territory of the grassland far exceeds the western Liaoxi corridor, more than 2,000 miles in length and width, like a huge shield, blocking the north of the Great Wall.

In the vast land, there are about 800,000 herdsmen, divided into various tribes, and the dogs and teeth are intertwined. This is also the reason why Zhang Ke must leave those Taiji, the grassland is too complicated, and the problem cannot be solved by killing alone.

No matter how powerful the army is, it must be logistically supported, and the farther it goes, the more people will be used, and the easier it will be for the enemy to attack. is as strong as the Yongle Emperor, the five expeditions to Mongolia, and the grassland has not been cleaned.

Where is Zhang Ke's strength comparable to Zhu Laosi, his choice is to turn the spring breeze into rain, tie the Mongols with the interests of wool, and then implement sinicization little by little, so that the Mongols stop nomadism and settle down, so that the nightmare northern threat of thousands of years will be completely lifted!

While looking at the summary of the war and writing and drawing, Zhang Ke watched and thought about it all night, and finally sorted out his chaotic thoughts.

"My lord, wipe your face!"

Zhang Ke took the towel, and a faint aroma came, rubbing it on his face, refreshing and refreshing, and his spirit was lifted!

"What's up?" Zhang Ke asked casually.

"Back to adults, I didn't add more, a little red date juice and licorice!"

"Oh!" Zhang Ke nodded, and then jumped violently as if he had been electrocuted.

He is no stranger to this method of washing his face, when he passed by the grassland, Mandariva helped him wash his face!

"It's you!"

Zhang Ke turned around sharply and stared at the thin soldier in front of him, his burning gaze could penetrate the steel, not to mention the flesh and blood.

The beauty in front of her lowered her pink neck, and her fingers kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes, looking particularly entangled in her heart!

Suddenly, a pair of powerful arms firmly hugged the woman's shoulders, the woman couldn't hold it anymore, leaning on the man's chest, tears crackling and flowing, and after a while, Zhang Ke's chest was wet.

"Don't cry, my little princess!"

"Everyone is the mother of two children, where is the little princess?"

The steel lines of the face that have been trained by countless killings have softened, and Zhang Ke is holding the delicate waist of the beauty, which is extremely gentle.

"You'll always be my princess, uh, by the way, those two little things!"

The fox's tail was finally revealed, and Mandariva said angrily: "What's the matter, it's still a mother who doesn't want her children, right?" ”

"Of course not!" Zhang Ke stretched out his hand, grabbed his thigh, picked it up suddenly, and walked towards the head of the bed.

"I'll let you see now, I'm the mother who misses her children so much!" (To be continued......)
