Chapter 1190 surrender
The Selenge River originates from the northern slope of the Hangai Mountains and is the largest river with the most abundant water on the Mongolian Plateau. It is about 1,500 kilometers long. It goes northeast all the way and finally pours into the Fishing Sea, which is Lake Baikal in Russia now. However, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Lake Baikal area was not the territory of Tsarist Russia. The one who lives here was a Mongolian tribe called Buriyati, which was originally affiliated with the Oirat, and later split from the Oirat and became an independent tribe.
During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the powerful Tsarist Russia began to move south and continued to erode the Mongolian region. It was not until the Chongzhen period of the late Ming Dynasty that the Beika Hur region was completely occupied by Tsarist Russia. The Buliyati tribe also surrendered under the force of Tsarist Russia and completely surrendered.
The Selenge River has a large amount of water and fertile water and soil on both sides. It is the mother river in Mongolia. The fishing sea is the deepest in the world and the largest freshwater lake on the Eurasian continent. The lakeside is rich in water and lush grass, which is a natural and excellent pasture.
The Selenge River will freeze around October every year, and will not thaw until April or May of the following year. The ice period lasts for half a year. It is now the beginning of the fifth month of the lunar calendar. The Selenge River has already thawed. The river surface is wide, and the clear river water flows northward. The vegetation on both sides is full of vitality.
At this moment, Xu Jin was standing by the Selenge River with his hands on his back, his Confucian shirt fluttering, his sword eyebrows and eyes widened. Under the bright sunlight, he looked even red lips and white teeth, and was handsome and extraordinary. Even Yisana couldn't help but mutter a little white face in her heart.
At this time, in addition to Yisana, there were also generals such as Wang Liner, Xue Bingxin, Cen Lan and others. Since defeating Weng Guochu's 80,000 Oirat Army yesterday, the main force of the Ming army has stationed on the territory of the Huitte tribe, and only sent cavalry to continue pursuing Weng Guochu and others who escaped. Now, the entire Huitte tribe's territory is under the control of the Ming army, and there is no need for the Ming army to drive it away. All the Oirat people spontaneously flee west.
Xu Jin quietly stared at the magnificent river surface, and his thoughts had already floated along the winding river to Lake Baikal, 1,500 kilometers away.
Not to mention the fertile and vast pastures on the shores of Lake Baikal, this lake is just a priceless treasure. How precious is water on the arid Mongolian Plateau. Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake on the Eurasian continent, with a length of more than 600 kilometers and a width of fifty kilometers (this is not a lake, it is simply a vast ocean). It can be imagined how abundant its water content is, not to mention that there are inexhaustible aquatic products.
Such a priceless treasure is better than to take advantage of Tsarist Russia in the future. What's more, seizing this water source and pasture is of great significance to the future development of the Tatar region's economy.
At this moment, a rapid sound of horse hooves interrupted Xu Jin's thoughts. All the generals subconsciously turned their heads to look around. One scout came to the vicinity, and one jumped off the horse, ran to Xu Jin in two steps, knelt down on one knee, and shouted: "Master General Xie, this is an urgent report to you. Please take a look."
Xu Jin quickly took the letter and opened it. He looked happy and then laughed happily, saying, "Okay, okay!"
Xue Bingxin couldn't help but lit up her eyes, and her beautiful eyes stared at Xu Jin inquiringly. The generals were also happy when they heard this. Isana couldn't help but ask, "Daughter of Jingguo, but did Deputy General Xie catch Altan?"
What Isana is most concerned about now is Altan. One is that the enemy of killing his father and killing his brother is irreconcilable, and the other is that as long as Altan is awarded the title, the Emperor Ming Dynasty will never pay attention to it and continue to detain the sect map. He must be allowed to return to the Tatars to inherit the Khan throne.
But Xu Jin shook his eyes and replied, "Altan escaped, General Pei Xingjin is tracking him."
Isana couldn't help but feel disappointed and said unhappy: "Why is Prince Yasukuni so happy?"
Xu Jin smiled and said, "Although Altan escaped, Weng Guochu has been completely wiped out by our army, and he has also been awarded the title of the head. Isn't it worth being happy?"
Yisana couldn't help but be surprised. Weng Guochu is the leader of the Ola. He was killed by the Ming army so easily. It's really... it's really unlucky!
(This is indeed unlucky enough, the leader of the Ola League, and after all, he is a boss-level player. He received a lunch box shortly after he appeared.)
Xu Jin said lightly: "In addition, the Ola Choros tribe and the Durber tribe have led 70,000 cavalry to the vicinity of Yanran Mountain."
The generals were not surprised but happy when they heard this. Jing Dachu even said, "It's a good time to clean up together. From now on, the entire Oirat will belong to our Ming Dynasty."
Speaking of which, Jing Dachu led 20,000 Xuanfu Army to block Batai for an hour that night. Later, when he retreated, the entire Xuanfu Army was dispersed. Fortunately, Batai's target was Xu Jin at that time. After defeating the Xuanfu Army, he did not continue to chase him, but took Yuan Shangdu directly.
Because of this, although the Xuanfu army was defeated, only four or five thousand were killed or injured. Later, more than 15,000 people were regained, including more than 2,000 minor injuries and more than 300 serious injuries.
Although Xu Jin scolded Jing Dachu afterwards, he did not punish him. After all, he had completed the task of delaying time. He just thought it was a meritorious service and continued to serve as the general of Xuanfu. Yesterday, when he fought with the Ola army, the Xuanfu army performed quite well, and the entire army beheaded more than 4,000 levels.
Because of this, the Xuanfu Army is now in a high spirit of fighting and is ready to continue to work hard. Jing Dachu, a general who has always been a Buddhist, is looking forward to making new contributions.
Xu Jin glanced at Jing Dachu and smiled and said, "I'm afraid there is no chance. Sanghad, the leader of the Choros tribe, has contacted Deputy General Xie and expressed his willingness to surrender to our Ming Dynasty. If I agree, he will come to personally discuss the matter of surrendering to the Ming Dynasty."
Although the generals were a little disappointed when they heard this, they were still mostly happy. After all, it was always good not to start a war, and more brothers could go home alive and triumphantly.
Cen Lan smiled and said, "This Sanghad is a person who knows the current affairs. The commander decided to negotiate?"
Xu Jin nodded with a smile, and talked, of course, anyway, the Ming Dynasty has not yet had the ability to annex the Tatars and the Oirat at the same time. It can use peaceful means to maximize the interests without abolishing one soldier. Why not do it?
What's more, after killing Weng Guochu, the soldiers' anger was also revealed, and the Ming Dynasty's power was established, so negotiation was the best choice!
"Go and tell Deputy General Xie that I agree to the peace talks and find a place at the foot of Yanran Mountain to meet with Sanghad." Xu Jin waved his hand and ordered.
The scout immediately left after he received the order.
Chapter completed!
