Chapter 1163 Alta's whereabouts

Altan himself did not live in a comfortable palace, nor did he allow the army to enter the city. The purpose was to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army with a hard and simple style. On the contrary, Xu Jin was just the opposite. He was never a person who would not treat him badly, so he set up his Marshal's Mansion in the city, and some of the troops were also transferred to the city to garrison.

As a modern person, Xu Jin knew very clearly that human beings’ infinite yearning for a better life is the driving force for the progress of this society. If human beings want to travel farther, they have high-speed rail cars; human beings want to fly like birds, so they have airplanes and spacecrafts; human beings want to wander in the sea like fish, so they have steamships and submarines.

Therefore, there is nothing wrong with pursuing enjoyment. Only when the requirements for material and cultural life are constantly increasing can the society make progress. There is nothing wrong with maintaining a simplicity of hard work, but because of the old and conservative, it is a big mistake to hold on to the incomplete and flawed one's fault. The hot weapons are all out, and they still hold those broken bows and arrows, which is simply ignorant.

For example, the Qing Dynasty relied on bows and horses to seize the country from the Ming Dynasty, so it was disdainful of firearms. It foolishly did not inherit the Ming Dynasty's developed firearm manufacturing technology and continued to use bows, horses, swords and swords to show its power. However, it was not known that the reason why the Ming Dynasty perished was mostly due to its own internal reasons. Manchus just took a big advantage by chance. Therefore, when the strong ships and cannons of Western powers entered the country, the Qing Dynasty was completely stunned and had no power to resist at all.

The most famous Battle of Baliqiao in later generations is a living example. Senggelinqin, a famous Qing general who was called the "pillar of the country", led 30,000 troops (eight thousand of which were Mongolian cavalry) to fight against the 8,000 British and French coalition forces, but was wiped out by other people's muskets, and only a dozen British and French coalition forces were killed or injured. The gap was so big that it was striking.

Therefore, the emergence of thermal weapons represents the end of the ice colder era. Flintlock rifles and grenades were created by Xu Jin. Even if Altan's Tatar cavalry is powerful, it is destined to be defeated. It is only a matter of time to eliminate it.

Of course, it is easy to conquer a country, but it is difficult to completely conquer a country. No matter how powerful the weapons are, they are not as powerful as the people's hearts. If the Ming Dynasty wants to completely incorporate Tatars into the territory, it will win the people's hearts. This is a difficult and long-term task.

At this moment, Xu Jin was dealing with various affairs in a hurry. There was no way for him to take charge of politics and law. The greater the power, the greater the responsibility, and the greater the responsibility, the more complicated the affairs. It is an exaggeration to say that he was busy every day. Fortunately, after more than ten days of busyness and with the help of Isana, the entire Chahar Khanate area has stabilized, and production is gradually recovering. The army has also obtained part of the supply, greatly reducing the burden on the Ming Dynasty.

Xu Jin's current main focus is to consolidate the territory and protect the achievements. As for Altan, it became the second best. With Altan, Isana's role can be maximized. Once Altan is killed, Isana's girl should attack her. At that time, she asks the Ming army to withdraw, and the Ming army will lose its moral commanding heights. Even if she forces it to stay, it will be difficult to get the recognition of the Tatars.

However, Altan can be put aside for the time being, but his minions must be cut off. The most powerful general Batai, who led 100,000 cavalry to siege Xiangshan, must be killed. So three days ago, Xu Jin ordered Wang Liner to lead 30,000 troops to help Xiangshan, including the most elite Shenji Battalion. It is necessary to destroy Altan's army. As long as Batai's 100,000 cavalry, then Altan will really become a grasshopper in the autumn and will no longer pose a threat.

"Master, Isana and Chilu Buhua are asking for a meeting outside!" At this time, a personal soldier came in to report.

Xu Jin's heart moved, put down a document in his hand and said, "Let them come in."

Soon, Isana and Chilu Buhua came in. They also brought two strange middle-aged men, who looked like Tatars, and they looked like they were all dressed and dressed, they should be upper-class nobles of the Tatar tribe.

"I've seen the Duke of the People!" The four of them gave Xu Jin a one-handed chest stroking salute.

Xu Jin sat in his seat with a big golden sword and nodded, and said indifferently: "Princess Yisana, who are these two?"

At this moment, Isana was so energetic that she said excitedly: "I will introduce to Duke Jingguo that this is Aziro, the leader of Sunitotok, and this is Rostie, the leader of Hoziotok. They all came to surrender to the auxiliary gate map."

Xu Jin couldn't help but feel slightly moved. There were eight large-scale Etok tribes in the Tatar Chahar tribe, and Sunit and Hozit were both ones. So he said in a deep voice: "It is a wise move for the two leaders to understand the great righteousness and abandon the darkness and turn to the light."

Aziro and Rostie obviously did not understand Ming Mandarin. After listening to Isana's translation, they saluted Xu Jin again, and then said a lot of things, saying that they were deceived by Altan for a moment, so they dared to fight against the Daming Tian Army. To put it bluntly, they pretended to admit their mistakes and apologized. They hoped that the Grandpa Jingguo would have a large number of people, spare their tribes, and give them cattle, sheep and territory to grazle and resume production.

Xu Jin was worried that the army was in short supply, so he naturally refused everyone, so he scolded him righteously. Finally, he changed his mind and agreed to their request. The two Etok lords thanked him happily and said that there was a generous gift to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin couldn't help but become interested and asked, "What kind of gift do you have to give to me?"

Isana said excitedly: "Go back to Duke Yasukuni, it is Altan's hiding place. He is now hiding in Sain Sanda, more than a thousand miles away from here, which is located in the middle of the Gobi."

Xu Jin raised his sword-brow and said, "Are you serious?"

Isana nodded affirmatively: "It's true!"

It turned out that Aziro and Rostie had also fled north with Altan, but when they fled to the territory of the Sunit tribe, Aziro didn't want to escape. After planning to join Rostie, the lord of the Hoziter tribe, he took advantage of the Gobi Desert, and they led their own tribes to sneak away before entering the Gobi Desert.

The basin of the Sunit tribe is located in the northwest of the Khanate, on the edge of the Gobi Desert. Altan led the remaining soldiers to pass through the territory of the Sunit tribe and also plundered all the cattle and sheep of the tribe. Because of this, Aziro made up his mind to escape from Altan with his tribe's people. In addition, he also sent his tribe members to secretly follow Altan, so he learned that Altan was hiding in the oasis Seinsanda deep in the Gobi Desert.
