Chapter 345: It was decided to sweep the Mongolian steppe in advance

Last time, when Yuan Chonghuan finished sending tasks to various parts of the Jurchen in the big tent, it happened that Zhu Youxiao and others suddenly appeared and asked to attack Mongolia in advance.

"Keep fighting? Sweep away Mongolia? This...... But the original plan was to fight Mongolia in two years? Weichen did not receive the emperor's holy decree, and did not dare to make decisions without authorization, and hoped that the prince would forgive him. Yuan Chonghuan and his subordinates were taken aback after hearing Zhu Youxiao's request, although "the general will not be subject to the order of the monarch outside."

"Hmph, this time, that time!" Zhu Youxiao said fiercely: "You mortals, do you know how eager I am to break through the realm and advance?" To tell you the truth, in terms of cultivation value, the corpses and souls of a hundred 'ordinary mortals' together are not worth a 'martial arts master'; a hundred 'martial arts masters' are not worth one 'Qi refining spirit disciple'; a hundred 'Qi refining spirit disciples' are not worth one 'foundation building true cultivator'; and a hundred 'foundation building true cultivators' are not worth one 'Jindan real person'...... So the more the merrier! ”

"Gurgle / hey / hey / haha / quack...... Devouring souls and refining corpses and turning ghosts, this is the basic skill of 'Ghost Dao Monk'! We paid the silver in advance, 350,000 taels of gold, which is 3.5 million taels of white silver! The three sisters of the urging family and the "Four Dharma Protectors" nodded to each other in agreement.

"What 350,000 taels of gold? 3,500,000 taels of silver? How come we don't know anything about this? Dare to ask the Overseer, what's going on? After hearing this, the generals in the tent felt inexplicable, so they focused their eyes on Yuan Chonghuan, who was sitting on the main seat, after all, the amount of gold and silver treasures was extremely huge.

"This ......" Yuan Chonghuan Chongchong originally got a promise from Zhu Youxiao, whoever caught the "Houjin nobles", regardless of men, women and children, as long as they were alive, each young man was worth five taels of silver, each young woman was worth three taels of silver, the children and the old man were each worth two taels of silver, and the complete corpse of the nobleman was worth one tael of silver. Although he didn't want to kill, he really lacked money in his hands, not to mention that there was "the prince's endorsement, and the emperor's backing", so he faced it calmly.

"Huh? This...... It seems that it is not possible not to kill people, but in this way, the killing is too heavy, I'm afraid it's not okay? As the saying goes, 'killing and surrendering is ominous, and the country will perish'......" After hearing that Yuan Chonghuan had issued a "massacre order" for the "Jianzhou Jurchen", they suddenly felt that something was wrong, and it turned out that there was something greasy in it.

"Haha/quack/cluck/hehe/hee/hee/chatter...... Well, money is not the problem, the problem is to kill more, especially those who deserve to be killed! Only in this way can I wait for enough souls to devour, and at the same time, I can also refine corpses and raise ghosts to my heart's content, and then fuse the ghosts, and then my power will be greatly increased! ”

"Uh...... But...... I don't know who should be killed and who shouldn't? After all, the Immortal Masters seem to have an endless need for corpses and souls? ”

"Haha/quack/giggle/hehe/hee/chatter......" Faced with the doubts of the generals in the tent, Zhu Youxiao and others said disappreciably: "First send people to spread the news on the grassland with great fanfare, and say, 'Those who go along will prosper, and those who go against will die'." When the army arrives, everyone who refuses to surrender will be killed, is it simple enough? ”

"This trick 'knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger' is really feasible, then it's decided!" After Yuan Chonghuan looked around at everyone, he got up and saluted Zhu Youxiao and the others, who were sitting in the air and refining qi: "Thank you for reminding me, Yuan knows what to do." At that time, please also ask the prince and the immortal masters to take more care. ”

"Haha/quack/cluck/hehe/hee/hee/chatter...... Meaninglessly, you can only open your mouth to the lion of the court for the salaries, equipment, ammunition, and soldiers you need. As long as you do your best to sweep the Da Mo grassland, the worship will be just around the corner, and the name will go down in history, and it is natural to seal the wife and the shadow!

"Uh...... Haha, since that's the case, then I'll wait for the border generals to thank the prince and all the immortal masters, quack. Eventually, they all got up and saluted, but found that the people who were still hovering in the tent meditating on their knees and refining qi disappeared out of thin air in a flash, allowing everyone to be surprised and inexplicable!

In this way, shortly after the Ming Dynasty sent troops to pacify Liaodong, the news of "sweeping the Mongolian steppe in advance" spread far and wide, which immediately made the people of all parts of the grassland panic, because the Ming army also strictly executed the "slaughter order" while destroying the "Jianzhou Jurchen", and "sentenced to death" the nobles and commoners of the "Jianzhou Jurchen" at the same time.

The people of the Ming Dynasty were generally optimistic about this and even rejoiced throughout the country, but it was not a good thing for the surrounding ethnic groups and forces that had clashed with the Ming Dynasty, especially the tribes of the Mongolian steppe, the "Turpan Khanate" in the Western Regions, Myanmar and Vietnam in the south, and the Japanese state of Japan across the sea.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sent troops north to crusade against the "Mengyuan court" after establishing the "Ming Dynasty" in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province that year, after the "Dadu" was forcibly broken by the Ming army in 1368, Emperor Yuan Shun had no choice but to lead the Mengyuan nobles and their concubines to flee in a hurry and flee north to the grassland.

Next, in the confrontation with the Ming Dynasty for more than 30 years, although the "Northern Yuan" occasionally won such a big victory as the "Battle of Lingbei", the Ming Dynasty successively eliminated the Liang Wang forces stationed in Yunnan Province in the previous Mengyuan court, the Nahachu forces in the northeast, and the expanded Timurid forces in Shanxi and Gansu, and combined the strength of the various Mongolian tribes they surrendered in the war, and established the famous "Duoyan Sanwei" on the grassland to defend the Beijing division.

Among them, Li Wenzhong's "Battle of Yingchang" in 1370 and Lanyu's "Battle of Fishing Erhai" in 1388 dealt the most serious blow to the Northern Yuan court! Li Wenzhong captured Emperor Yuan Shun's grandson "Bought Libala" and his concubines, palace people, kings, provincial officials, soldiers, etc., and forced the "remnant Yuan" Xuanguang Emperor "Aiyu Zhili Dala" and dozens of horsemen to flee north to the old capital of Helin before surviving.

Lan Yu's department captured 2,994 Wu Wang Duoer, 77,037 men and women, more than 150,000 horses, camels, cattle and sheep, and 15,803 sergeants and more than 48,000 horses and camels. The military and economic losses of the Northern Yuan were extremely heavy, especially the son of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty, Timur, who was defeated by the Ming army in the "Fishing Sea" (Lake Baikal), was killed by his subordinates when he fled, which completely destroyed the Northern Yuan Khanate.

This matter has to start from April of the 11th year of Hongwu (1378 AD) in a different time and space. At that time, Yuan Zhaozong, who was aiming for Zhongxing Dayuan, died with hatred, and his younger brother Timur inherited the throne of the Great Khan of Mongolia in May of the same year.

Timur changed the name of the year to "Tianyuan", which means "the mandate of heaven belongs to the 'Great Yuan Court'". Therefore, people in later generations also called him "Emperor Tianyuan". During the reign of Timur, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, stepped up his military attack on the Northern Yuan forces in order to completely sweep away the Mengyuan forces.

In the third year of Tianyuan, that is, in December of 1381, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Fu Youde, Mu Ying and others to recover Yunnan, and finally forced the Liang King of the Yuan Dynasty, who had been guarding there for generations, to commit suicide, and even the Duan family, which had been entrenched in Dali for hundreds of years, was forcibly uprooted by the Ming Dynasty. Since then, Yunnan has been recovered by the Central Plains Imperial Court, and as a result, the Mongols have been "legitimately ruled" in the region for 128 years.

In the ninth year of Tianyuan, that is, in 1387 AD, Zhu Yuanzhang launched the Fifth Northern Expedition to Mongolia, which was dispatched by Feng Sheng, Fu Youde, Lan Yu and other famous founding generals, with the purpose of capturing the "Yuan Dynasty Taishi" Naha who was entrenched in Jinshan in the northeast. After a series of wars, the Ming army repeatedly crushed the Mengyuan army with absolute strength, and finally succeeded in forcing Naha to surrender to the Ming Dynasty in October of the same year, so that the vast northeast region was recovered by the Ming Dynasty.

When Yunnan and Liaodong were recovered by the Ming Dynasty one after another, Mengyuan's power in the Central Plains came to an end, and Zhu Yuanzhang's next step was to go deep into the Mobei region and carry out a military attack on the "Northern Yuan Dynasty" that was still breathing. In the tenth year of the Tianyuan Dynasty, that is, on May 18, 1388 AD, the Ming Dynasty general Lan Yu led a Ming army deep into the desert and successfully attacked the camp of the Northern Yuan Mongol army in the area of "Yuerhai" (Lake Baikal).

At that time, the Yuan army was powerless to resist and suffered heavy casualties, even the second son of Timur, and more than 50 other high-ranking personnel were captured, in addition to more than 70,000 ordinary Mongols, plus more than 100,000 horses, camels, cattle, sheep, etc., all of which were captured and taken away by the Ming army.

As for Timur himself, he took his eldest son Tianbaonu, as well as dozens of horsemen such as the prefect and the prime minister, and fled north in embarrassment. Timur's performance was so poor that it naturally caused a lot of dissatisfaction among the Mongolian nobles below, so some people began to hold grudges.

In October of the same year, the descendants of Kublai Khan's younger brother Ali Buge also killed Timur and his eldest son Tianbaonu brutally, and the ministers who followed Timur in order to protect themselves, had to take more than 3,000 people to the south to seek refuge in the Ming Dynasty, thinking that they couldn't get along in the grassland, why not return to the south to the "new overlord" Zhu Yuanzhang?

Timur was revered as "Usahar Khan", and since his death, successive Mongol Khans have no longer taken the "temple name" and "nickname" from the "Han style". Soon after, he also established himself as the Great Khan of Mongolia, and under his leadership, the power of the Northern Yuan Dynasty increased greatly for a time, and even dominated Mobei.

Since then, the grassland forces have been roughly divided into two major forces, Warat and Tatar, as well as the Wuliang Ha Sanwei (also called "Duoyan Sanwei") who were subdued by the Ming Dynasty after repeated horizontal jumps. This is the division and integration of the various Mongolian forces in the early and middle Ming Dynasty. However, because Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols hated him.
