As both sides issued orders to suspend the attack, the originally heated battlefield quickly calmed down. Soldiers from both sides looked at the peace envoys who were walking towards the army.
Han Yi and Huo Ying rode on tall horses and watched the envoys who came to negotiate peace ride up to them.
"Respected General of the Ming Dynasty, I am in Xia Hasmu, and I have come to ask for peace on the orders of the Kazakh Khan Mulendek Khan. As long as the Ming Dynasty is willing to live in peace with our Kazakh Khanate, we, the Kazakh Khanate, are willing to become vassals and pay tribute to the Ming Dynasty.
One hundred thousand horses of BMW are paid as tribute to the Ming Dynasty every year!”
Hasimu came to Han Yi and saluted very respectfully.
The general of the Ming Dynasty in front of them has the qualifications to make these grassland eagles bow their heads. In the past, they would not think highly of the Ming Dynasty people. But now, they are frightened and convinced by the Ming Dynasty cavalry. It is very natural to bend down and bow their heads to salute.
.
"If you want to negotiate peace, you can ask Mulundekh Khan and the tribal leaders to come in person, otherwise there will be no need to negotiate."
Han Yi looked at Hasimu with a proud attitude and said very domineeringly.
Peace talks?
Peace talk is nothing, I'll kill you all, and I can make you a public official even with your heads.
They are already meat on my chopping board, yet they even randomly sent a minion over to negotiate with me. Doesn’t this mean I’m looking down on myself?
Or do you look down on the 30,000 brothers under your command, or more importantly, do you look down on the sabers and muskets in everyone's hands?
"this…"
Hearing Han Yi's words, Hasimu immediately didn't know what to do. He thought for a moment and said, "I have obtained full authorization from the Khan to conduct peace talks with the Ming Empire on behalf of the Khan and the Kazakh Khanate."
"Didn't I make my words clear enough?"
Han Yi ignored him at all and said calmly: "If you, Mulundekh Khan, don't come in person within a stick of incense, then I will order a general attack."
"I'll report this to the Great Khan right away."
When Hasimu heard this, he immediately knew that there was no other way to go, so he immediately mounted his horse and headed back.
"You're a duck with a tough mouth. You've already reached your deathbed and you still have to pretend in front of us."
Seeing Hasimu walking back, Han Yi smiled and said to Huo Ying beside him.
There were only less than 30,000 Kazakh Khanate troops left in front of him, and he could easily eat them all. However, killing was not the purpose, but just a means to achieve the goal.
The Ming Dynasty does need a slightly stable environment. At least in a short period of a few years, the Hezhong region needs stability. The Ming Dynasty needs time to consolidate its rule in the Hezhong region. The Kazakh Khanate to the north is also an extremely important neighbor.
"One hundred thousand war horses every year, the conditions seem to be okay."
Huo Ying smiled, then thought about it and said.
"A hundred thousand war horses are nothing. Learn from Mr. Liu. In the Nanyang region, Malacca is a big country. Mr. Liu asked them to pay tens of millions of silver in compensation. How could I let them go like this in the Kazakh Khanate?"
?”
When Han Yi heard this, he immediately said without thinking.
One hundred thousand war horses sounds like a very huge number. This horse can be sold for dozens of taels of silver in the Ming Dynasty. These one hundred thousand war horses, after all, are worth millions of taels of silver a year.
But forget it?
It's not that easy. If you offend the Ming Dynasty, you have to pay the due price. After a lot of ruthless killing, the negotiation of peace, ceding territory and paying compensation are already the most basic.
On the other side, this is the golden account of Mulundekh Khan.
"Khan, you absolutely can't go~"
"Yes, I can't go. This Ming Dynasty man might take this opportunity to murder you."
"Great Khan, fight with them, the people of Ming Dynasty are bullying others too much."
The tribal leaders, important ministers, and generals were extremely angry. They had already bowed their heads to the Ming Dynasty and paid tribute, but the Ming Dynasty people actually made such excessive demands and even asked Mulundekh Khan to come to negotiate peace in person.
"Okay~"
"All the tribal leaders, please come with me."
Mulundekh Khan thought for a long time and then said after thinking about it.
"yes!"
When everyone heard this, they immediately replied helplessly.
The grassland people have always been unruly, but when the knife is placed on their necks, those who understand the current situation are heroes. What's more, the Ming army has actually defeated them.
Only 30,000 cavalry swept across the Great Yuzi Grassland, and then fought against 100,000 cavalry of the Kazakh Khanate on the Kazakh grassland. The battle loss ratio between the two sides was simply a one-sided massacre, in front of the powerful Ming Dynasty cavalry.
Whether it was cavalry battles, bow and arrow shooting, or various tactical confrontations, the Kazakh Khanate was completely defeated. The Kazakh Khanate's army was like paper in front of the Ming army, and was easily defeated.
Tear it to pieces, completely tearing all their pride into pieces.
Soon, Mulundek Khan led dozens of tribal leaders towards the Ming army. The Kazakh Khanate army automatically gave way to a road, and everyone looked at Mulundek Khan and his troops in silence.
The tribal leaders walked towards the Ming army.
Ministers from the Kazakh Khanate came to Han Yi in advance to communicate with Han Yi. With Han Yi's acquiescence, they quickly laid out an area with blankets on the grassland as a place for peace talks between the two sides.
There is no way. In a place like this, there are no tables or chairs. I can only find some blankets to spread out. It can be regarded as saving some face for the Khan of the Kazakh Khanate and the tribal leaders. Of course, there are always not so many grassland people.
If you are particular about it, a blanket is fine.
Seeing Mulundekh Khan and others walking towards them, Han Yi, Huo Ying and others also dismounted one after another. However, the soldiers of the Second Army and the Third Army were still riding on their horses, on standby at any time to prevent the enemy from launching a sneak attack.
As for the soldiers of the First Army, they quickly gathered up their troops under the command of the commander. The battle lines were straight and divided into two sides, leaving a road in the middle for Mulundeke Khan and the tribal leaders to pass.
"Stand at attention~"
"Take a break~"
"stand at attention!"
"Look forward!"
As Mulundekh Khan came to the Ming army, the people in charge quickly issued orders one after another. With the orders issued one after another, the neatly arranged Ming army moved very uniformly, just like one person, issuing orders together.
There was only one voice, all looking at Mulundekh Khan.
When Mulundek Khan and the tribal leaders saw this scene with their own eyes, their expressions suddenly changed. They thought the Ming army was going to do something bad to them, but they soon realized that they were just looking at them, and they all relaxed.
tone, and then carefully looked at the Ming army in front of him again.
The Ming soldiers in front of them were all tall, with firm eyes, wearing uniform armor, holding uniform weapons, and their movements were uniform and square. Even if they were just standing there, a powerful aura would come towards them.
"We didn't lose unfairly!"
Mulendek Khan couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Facing such an enemy, the Kazakh Khanate's defeat was not unfair at all. He believed that no matter it encountered such a powerful Ming army, it would be completely defeated.
Extremely luxurious equipment, full body armor, helmets, sabers, bows and arrows, muskets, these are simply armed to the teeth. What is even more frightening is that these Ming soldiers have obviously undergone long and rigorous training, otherwise they would not be able to do it.
So neat and consistent.
Although the Kazakhs, like the Mongols, are said to be a people on horseback and have tough folk customs, the organization of their army is actually no different from other grassland peoples.
What they relied on was just the toughness of the nomads themselves. They were herdsmen in peacetime, but organized themselves into warriors during war. Everyone had horses, bows, arrows, and scimitars, and they were extremely brave in battle.
But in the final analysis, they are all amateurs, relying only on their own national talents, and do not undergo rigorous, militarized, and systematic training and training.
But these Ming soldiers in front of them are different. Maybe before joining the army, they may have been farmers, and they are far less tough than the people on the grassland.
But after joining the army, after a long period of professional, systematic, and rigorous military training and management, I not only mastered combat skills, but also maintained a rigorous record and became a professional soldier.
When an amateur meets a professional, and coupled with the huge gap in equipment between the two sides, it is normal for them to be abused.
They walked towards Han Yi step by step. Every time Mulundekh Khan and others advanced, the Ming soldiers around them all turned their heads and looked over.
For later generations, this can be regarded as a review of the honor guard of the three armed forces.
Of course, at this moment, Mulundekh Khan and the tribal leaders must be in a very bad mood. Being looked at by the wolf-like Ming army like this made all of them feel frightened.
At the same time, some people were secretly glad that it was very wise for Mulundek Khan to take the initiative to ask for peace. If they fought to the end with the Ming army, they would definitely die.
Negotiate peace, you must negotiate peace, and you must agree to any conditions.
"What should we talk about later?"
Huo Ying looked at Mulundek Khan and others who were getting closer and closer, and asked Han Yi slightly nervously.
There was nothing ambiguous about the march and the war, but this negotiation was still related to national affairs. It was the first time that he felt uncertain and didn't know how to go about it.
"Didn't I just say that we just need to follow Liu Gong's example. It's nothing more than ceding land and paying compensation, claiming vassal status and paying tribute. Anyway, it's pretty much the same. It just depends on what conditions we can get them to agree to."
"The Kazakh Khanate has a vast area, a large population, and many cattle and sheep. In terms of war compensation, fifty million taels of silver shouldn't be too much, right?"
Han Yi touched his chin, thought for a while and said: "For a small country like Siam, Liu Gong asked them to pay fifty million taels of silver as compensation. The Kazakh Khanate has almost the same amount."
"Fifty million taels of silver?"
"Do they have that much money?"
When Huo Ying heard this, he couldn't help but exclaimed.
"You can pay in installments, but if you can't, they can rob or steal. You have to pay for it anyway!"
