Chapter 62 Peace Negotiation
It turned out that although Zhu Gui was gone, he left behind a team of ten government soldiers, who were disguised as the armor of Mongolian soldiers, just to obey Heimuhan's dispatch.
to prevent the Heavenly Khan from taking control of the Golden Horde again.
Of course, it also played the role of supervising Heimuhan.
After Hei Muhan had already seen the power of the Ming army's firearms, he naturally didn't dare to underestimate these ten government soldiers.
However, when Hei Muhan had not betrayed Zhu Gui on the surface, they still obeyed his orders.
So Tian Khan, who just wanted to regain control of the situation, was tied up again.
He shouted angrily: "Hei Muhan, don't forget your identity, you will never return to the arms of the god of the grassland after you die." ”
This is the worst curse on the Mongols.
Hei Muhan said coldly: "Even so, I won't let my tribe bleed anymore, let him be escorted down." ”
He still did not kill this Heavenly Khan, also to prevent provoking a mutiny.
It will take him some time to take full control of the entire Golden Horde.
The other side.
After repairing in Heimu City all morning, Zhu Gui asked everyone to retreat to Hujian City, and at the same time sent someone to deliver the news to Heimu Han that he had ceded the city to the other party.
First, Datong Mansion did not have enough troops to defend the three cities, and it was also to allow Heimuhan to establish prestige among the various tribes of the grassland.
For the time being, he didn't plan to let Hei Muhan naturalize the Ming Dynasty on the bright side, which would only provoke more serious hostility from the various tribes of the grassland to the Ming Dynasty.
And gradually controlling the entire grassland through the Blackwood tribe is the most beneficial plan for Zhu Gui at present.
Of course, after the Battle of Jingjing, he will still find a way to be taken back by this force for his own use, and then further expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty to the west.
However, doing so at this time will only make Zhu Yuanzhang feel that he is crazy, and it will even cause changes in other positions.
Zhu Gui didn't plan to take risks.
After Zhu Gui withdrew to Hujian City with his people, he saw groups of Mongolian cavalry running towards the grassland from time to time outside the city.
It seems that Xu Yingxu's movements on the grassland have spread.
These Mongol tribes may not be able to save themselves from the attack on the Golden Horde, but when it is their turn, they will not be able to sit still.
This also means that the Mongol army outside Datong is gradually decreasing.
However, Zhu Gui did not take it lightly, and he still released many scouts to inquire in the direction of Datong Mansion.
Soon he got an update on the situation in the direction of Datong Province, and the Mongol army that was still gathered outside Datong Province had only 10,000 cavalry.
These are the Mongol tribes that were not attacked in the headquarters.
Although 10,000 cavalry was still a big threat to Zhu Gui, at least it was impossible for them to break through Datong Mansion in a short period of time.
And Zhu Gui also took a thousand cavalry on the road.
These war horses were all taken away from the Golden Horde, and most of the Ming army's equestrianism was obviously not good.
But it's also much faster than two legs.
All they had to do was to constantly harass the Mongols on the periphery and reduce the pressure in the direction of Datongfu.
At this time, inside the big tent outside Datong Mansion.
There are less than ten tribal chiefs left here.
Their faces were all very ugly.
Obviously, they took the initiative to attack this time, and they took the lead, as long as they could break through Datong Mansion, then their losses this time could be completely made up for by looting, and they could even make a lot of money.
But they don't know why it's the way it is.
"I've heard that the acting king is not in the city at all, he actually used Datong Mansion as a bait, and then attacked our rear, Ming people are really cunning."
"What's the use of talking about that now? Are we attacking or retreating now? Everyone here is worried that the headquarters will be attacked by Akito, right? ”
"You're right, but even if we want to evacuate now, will Akito let us go? If we can't break through Datong Mansion this time, our fate is likely to be broken by the Ming people. ”
The crowd fell silent again.
That's right, it's an ending that they can't accept anyway.
After a while, someone said, "Why don't we make peace with the Mingren?" ”
"Peace? How to negotiate? Akito now takes the initiative, can they agree? What can we come up with? ”
"This may be a solution, if it were other vassal kings, in this case, we might not be able to succeed, but this acting king does not seem to be valued by the Ming Emperor."
"What do you mean?"
"We Mongolian tribes are nomadic people who live by grazing, but in fact, land doesn't have much concept for us, so we might as well exchange the land for the right to let us continue to graze here, how about it?"
"Are you crazy?"
"That might be the way to go."
……
Zhu Gui led the cavalry to a place more than 20 miles away from Datong Mansion, and between him and Datong Mansion was the Mongol camp.
At this time, they neither continued the offensive nor had any intention of withdrawing.
Zhu Gui sent his own soldiers to harass them with firearms outside the range of the opponent's bows and arrows, but the Mongols did not react much.
This strange scene made Zhu Gui a little puzzled.
But before he could give the next harassment order, three cavalrymen suddenly ran out of the Mongolian camp.
"Where is the king of the Ming Dynasty?" The leading Mongol shouted loudly and raised his hands to show that he had no weapon in his hand.
Zhu Gui asked his soldiers to put down their flintlock pistols, and he came to see what these Mongols wanted to do.
"What do you want to do here?"
Zhu Gui asked the soldiers to shout.
"We are representatives of the Mongol tribes, and we hope that we can negotiate with the king to resolve this war."
The Mongols shouted.
Negotiation? Zhu Gui didn't expect the other party to want to negotiate at such a time.
But he didn't refuse, he wanted to see what the Mongols wanted to talk about.
So a thousand cavalry stood by and let the three Mongols in.
The personal soldiers around Zhu Gui were on standby to prevent the other party from breaking out and hurting people.
After examining the trio, it was found that they were not carrying any weapons.
Zhu Gui immediately asked, "Okay, now let's talk about how you want to solve this war." ”
The Mongols at the head bowed to Zhu Gui, and then said, "The chiefs of our Mongol tribes have already discussed and are willing to exchange the land of the steppe for a peace agreement to replace the king. ”
"Land for peace?" When Zhu Gui heard this, a look of disbelief appeared on his face.
"Yes, but I hope the king will let us continue to graze on this land, where you are the nominal owner."
The Mongol continued.
So that's the case, these Mongols are shrewd, and they want Zhu Gui to give up the current situation.
"This king agreed, but I don't know how much land you are willing to exchange for this time?"
Unexpectedly, Zhu Gui agreed in one bite.
