Chapter 21 Luchuan is calm, and the grassland wind rises
"Your Majesty, what you said is very good." Yan Keng said with a smile.
Zhu Qizhen's analysis is very accurate, and Yan Keng thinks so too.
The other party still has 100,000 troops, and the Ming army is in a confrontation situation, which is not the meaning of annexation at all.
Obviously, he just wants to fool Daming.
Zhu Qizhen is growing up slowly, he is no longer the ignorant child he was at the beginning, and now he has his own understanding of the situation in the world.
"So how should we deal with it?" He decided to take the school exam again, Zhu Qizhen.
The little emperor paused, pondered for a while, and then said:
"Since they want to delay our attack, they are obviously forced to hold on, so they need time to breathe, it is conceivable that although there are still 100,000 Luchuan traitors, the situation is not optimistic."
"My teacher! We can do what we want, give them a big reward, pretend to be deceived by them, and then take advantage of them and launch a surprise attack! ”
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
There was a crisp sound, it was Yan Keng smiling and applauding.
"Your Majesty, this is exactly what I have in mind!"
Zhu Qizhen, who was praised, was full of smiles between his eyebrows, after all, he was just a child, and he was so happy to get the praise of the teacher.
"Let's do it."
So, the next day in the court, the envoys of Luchuan were reprimanded by the first assistant and Chen Guogong on the spot, and the little emperor also expressed his anger at Luchuan's invasion.
However, for their timely reform and reform, the little emperor still gave appeasement and affirmation.
The mission was richly rewarded, but not given a banquet, which indicated the Ming Dynasty's criticism of Luchuan, which also made the Luchuan mission more convinced that the Ming had accepted their submission.
This is indeed the consistent style of the Ming Dynasty, no, almost all Han dynasties, for places where the mountains are high and the forests are dense and the Han people are not many, they often only need to pay a nominal submission, and they can get great benefits.
The Luchuan mission happily went back, and also took a cart of treasures and the canonization of the Ming Dynasty.
Seeing this, Si Ren was also very complacent, thinking that his plan worked, and the Ming Dynasty Hall was full of a group of clay wood carvings, all of which were deceived.
When my army is finished, I will definitely make a comeback! When the time comes, I want the whole of Yunnan, no, the southwest!
I have already figured out the tactics of the Ming army, and they will definitely not be my opponents!
And the Ming army, as Si Renfa thought, began to retreat.
Si Renfa was triumphant and ordered his troops to begin to receive the land that the Ming army had withdrawn.
However, just when the Luchuan army was constantly "recovering lost territory", the Ming army suddenly sent troops and caught him off guard!
The Luchuan army had already relaxed its vigilance, who would have thought that the Ming army would kill a horse pistol, and as soon as it came into contact, it would be crushed!
So the Ming Dynasty did not waste its efforts, and the more than ten fortified cities occupied by the Luchuan army defeated the Luchuan army, capturing tens of thousands, and the Luchuan soldiers were ambushed all over the field, and Si Renfa was captured alive on the spot!
This Luchuan, which was entangled with the Ming Dynasty for nine years in the original history, was conquered five times, and lost more than 100,000 troops before it was finally pacified.
Although these places were high and densely forested, and were not suitable for Han Chinese habitation, Yan Keng was also adamantly opposed to the idea of the rest of the officials leaving these areas to other ambassadors or local officials.
He sent Han officials, where the reign of the Ming dynasty really began.
Luchuan, Pingding.
However, in another part of the Ming Dynasty, the wind rose.
"Kill! Kill! "Earth-shattering shouts of killing resounded in the grassland, and the cavalry was crisscrossing.
The knights wore rudimentary armor, some wore helmets, some wore leather armor, but more often than not, they had only a robe and no protection.
Only a few officers who were clearly generals wore rusty, torn armor.
In addition to this, the soldiers of this cavalry army only had a saber.
However, even so, their appearance made the people in front of them panic.
"Warat, it's Warat!"
Screams came and went.
This is the state of the Ming Dynasty, inhabited by former Tatar herdsmen.
After falling under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, they lived a happy life that they could never have imagined before.
The mutual market was opened up without any restrictions, and merchants from the interior continued to come here to trade with them, and the rice that used to be eaten only by the nobles on the grassland was now available to every household.
The iron pot that used to need to die nine times and change one's life is now one sheep can be exchanged for many.
The fat cattle and sheep on the grassland can also be sold at excellent prices in the interior, and the herdsmen here are not as poor as before, but at least they are not as poor as before.
Since the establishment of settlements and the division of grazing land by Ming officials, even the conflict has almost disappeared, and the people live and work in peace.
Although they had only been converted for more than thirty years, they had long forgotten their experience as Tatar people.
Living by water and grass is forced by life, who doesn't want to have a stable home?
And the person who proposed the method of bondage, Yan Keng, was also praised by the people of bondage, especially when the story of the heroes and martyrs of the Ming Dynasty was introduced to the grassland with the merchants, they were even more full of admiration for this old man.
is worthy of being a descendant of King Jingping. They say so.
However, the sudden appearance of the Warat cavalry from the depths of the steppe today has become a nightmare that shatters their happy life.
The one who came was none other than the tribe directly under Mahamu. Now their leader is the son of Mahamu, Tohuan.
At this time, the Warat had already split, and under the fierce pursuit of Lan Yu, they flew separately and scattered to the grassland.
The one under the command of Tuhuan is only one of the Warats, the Dzungar Department.
Finally, the Ming army finally stopped being as aggressive to the grassland as before, and he, who was once the strongest tribe in Warat, was even bullied by other tribes.
Because of Mahamu, Lan Yu has been chasing and fighting the Dzungar tribes, resulting in their strength now not much different from some small tribes.
After all, if they don't rob this time, I really don't know if this winter can pass, and the wealth of the fetters is far better than that of the Warat tribes, if it happens, it will be a wave of sudden wealth.
The fetters are not allowed to have their own army, although there is a garrison of the Ming Dynasty, but the huge grassland, how can the Ming army control all of them? It was also not a large gathering place, with only a few hundred Ming troops stationed there.
They were brave enough to resist against the rudimentary fences and sent out cavalry for help, but the Dzungar cavalry was so numerous that the cavalry ran through and swept across with their sabers, leaving behind corpses.
In a short time, the whole army was annihilated.
The Dzungar tribes trampled the land, slaughtered the people, plundered the wealth, and left behind fire and wailing.
Looking at all this, Tuhuan only felt that his depressed mood was slightly soothed.
Blood and conquest, the wails of the enemy, made him feel happy, and only then could he feel that he was the leader of the Warat tribe, the ruler of the western Mongolian steppe!
Everyone should be as they are now, surrendering to his feet, and not, instead of treating him and his Dzungars as a medium-sized tribe and bullying him wantonly!
"The reinforcements of the Ming army have gone out of the city, and they will come under the banner of the word 'stone'! Khan, we have to retreat! ”
Suddenly, there is a sentinel return.
The Ming Dynasty built several cities on the grasslands for the officials of the prefecture and garrisoned troops in them to control the grasslands.
Now, as soon as they got the news that they had been attacked, they immediately sent their troops.
Tuohuan angrily whipped his horsewhip on the fence beside him, and he felt humiliated by such a hasty escape.
But there is no way, the Ming army is strong, and although they have now recovered some strength, there are only more than 7,000 soldiers in the headquarters of Dehuan.
If they encountered the brave Ming army at the border, they would almost be wiped out in a battle.
He spat out a word from between his teeth:
"Withdraw!"
One last glance back at the chaotic camp of the Bondage Tribe, he turned his horse's head and left.
Fortunately, this time they captured a lot of gold, silver, cattle, sheep and people, as long as they can escape the Ming army, their strength will definitely be greatly improved.
Heschot, Dulbert, and Turghut......
You wait for me!
