Looking at Dulbert Khan who was drinking mare milk tea, Oqiltu Khan couldn't help it and immediately asked: "Are you exaggerating? At most, some of them will be captured by the Ming army. When the Ming army leaves,
, isn’t Mobei still from the Khalkha tribe?”
After hearing this, Dulbert Khan put down the horse milk tea and replied with a serious expression: "If that were the case, I wouldn't have braved such heavy snow to come here! The Khalkha tribe is really gone!"
"..." Oqiltu Khan was dumbfounded after hearing this.
Is this something that comes after repeated confirmation, or does this answer mean it is true?
After understanding this, he came to his senses and couldn't help but ask: "How many troops did the Ming army lose? It's incredible that they were able to wipe out the Khalkha tribe in Mobei!"
At this point, Oqiltu Khan said to himself: "One hundred thousand, no, two hundred thousand? Or three hundred thousand? But this is impossible!"
Dulbert Khan knew as soon as he heard that he was thinking about this matter with old ideas, so he reminded him: "It's not two hundred thousand, let alone three hundred thousand, there are only less than twenty thousand cavalry!"
"What?" Upon hearing this, Oqiltu Khan stood up immediately, pointed at Dulbert Khan, and said in a very dissatisfied tone, "You took such a big risk to come here to make this joke? What on earth are you doing?
What's the matter? You have something to say!"
"It's true!" Dulbert Khan affirmed again with a very serious expression after hearing this.
Seeing this, Oqiltu Khan became even more unhappy, with an angry look on his face and said: "Do you really think that I am young and easy to coax? You..."
Before he finished speaking, he found that Dulbert Khan's expression had not changed and was still very serious. He could not continue to say this follow-up.
He is indeed young, and he was still under the wing of his uncle Khan in the past. However, no matter what, he still has the basic thinking.
Although at this time, he still didn't believe that the Ming army could annihilate the Khalkha tribe with only less than 20,000 troops, but there was no way that Durbot Khan would be able to eat enough and risk such a big risk.
It's dangerous, it's fun to come here and lie to him.
In other words, although he couldn't believe it, this thing was probably true. Therefore, after being stunned for a while, Oziltu Khan continued: "How did they do it?"
After hearing this, I finally got over the initial shock and it was time to get down to business.
So Dulbert Khan immediately answered him: "The Ming army first raided the winter ground of Zasak Tuhan's tribe, defeated the defenders there, and captured the people of Zasak Tuhan, and then agreed
For ordinary herdsmen, if they migrate south to Guihua City to spend the winter, their future life will definitely be better than that of Mobei. And if they join the Ming army, they can still have their own herds and land based on their military exploits; in the end, those herdsmen will
Joined the Ming army, and then used this method. With every battle, the Ming army grew stronger. In the end, it swept the entire Mobei. From then on, there were no Khalkha tribes, only those who submitted to the Ming Dynasty.
Mongols."
Although there are still many details to achieve such an effect, in general, he did describe the general process.
"..." Eqirtu Khan was stunned when he heard this. Such a way of fighting was something he never expected! It seemed that he had never heard of such a thing since he became aware of it!
If it really matters, perhaps in the Genghis Khan era, the most glorious era in Mongolia, annexing one tribe could immediately increase the strength to attack other tribes, until the grasslands were unified.
But at that time, it was a war between the grassland tribes, and Genghis Khan usually recovered the tribal leaders for his own use. It was not like the Ming army who actually bribed ordinary herdsmen for their use!
Eqirtu Khan was not stupid after all. He soon thought of a key point and immediately asked Dulbert Khan: "Then if the Ming army's promise is not fulfilled, wouldn't there be chaos in Guihua City?"
? Or is it that the Ming army also has heavy troops in Guihua City and is not afraid of them rebelling? "
Dulbert Khan listened, shook his head and said: "As far as I know, today's Ming Dynasty already has the strength to resettle the three Mobei tribes, and even in the future, they will have greater strength to resettle more grassland herdsmen.
!”
"..." When Oqiltu Khan heard this, he was speechless again. If this is really the case, it is indeed possible. Those ordinary herdsmen cannot survive, or if they can live better, they will definitely
Those who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.
While he was thinking about it, he heard Dulbert Khan ask him: "If the Ming army uses this method to deal with you and me, do you think our two tribes can deal with it?"
Hearing this, Oqiltu Khan fell silent.
This is tantamount to using wealth to hit people. It will definitely divide and attract many people to submit to the Ming Dynasty!
No, you must also have fighting power. Wealth without fighting power will only attract wolves to steal food.
Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of something, and immediately looked at Dulbert Khan and said: "No, this is wrong!"
His words made Dulbert Khan, who was confident and felt that he was leading Oqiltu Khan by the nose, confused, and he quickly asked: "What's wrong?"
Erqirtu Khan looked at him and said: "I remembered, as far as I know, the Ming Dynasty can't even feed its own people, how can it feed hundreds of thousands of people in Mobei?"
Having said this, he paused and then added: "By the way, you just said that the Ming Dynasty has the strength to settle the people of Mobei. Why do you say this?"
It was a good one just now, I was almost frightened by Dulbert Khan!
But who would have thought that after he asked, Dulbert Khan did not hesitate and said to him directly: "I rushed to Guihua City and saw with my own eyes that the Ming Kingdom did have this strength and had already settled
People of Mobei!"
"..." Upon hearing this, Erqiltu Khan couldn't help but be stunned again. He never expected that Dulbert Khan would rush to Guihua City in person. Isn't he afraid of danger?
Seeing his expression, Dulbert Khan knew what he was thinking, so he explained to him: "I felt deeply uneasy after hearing about the incident in Mobei. If the Ming Dynasty also uses this method to deal with me, I will
I felt that I had no ability to fight back. Therefore, the key to confirming this method was whether the Ming Dynasty could really accommodate so many herdsmen, and also to see whether the Ming army had really become powerful, so I had to go there myself.
Do you think I have to take a risk to feel at ease?"
Hearing this, Oqiltu Khan couldn't help but nodded with admiration, agreeing with his statement.
Then, he said a little speechlessly: "Then are you at ease or not?"
If Mingguo actually does not have this strength, then he should feel at ease; but, just now he has said that Mingguo has this strength and he has seen it with his own eyes, so he should not feel at ease, right?
Thinking about this, Oqiltu Khan couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
However, Dulbert Khan told him: "I feel at ease!"
"..." When Eqirtu Khan heard this, he looked at him speechlessly. What does this mean? Can he still feel at ease? He must have been unable to sleep at night, right?
Thinking like this, after he came to his senses, he showed a helpless smile and said: "How can I still feel at ease!"
After hearing this, Dulbert Khan stared at Oqiltu Khan and said with a very serious expression: "Why can't I feel at ease? As long as I surrender to the Ming Dynasty, isn't it okay?"
"That's true!" Eqirtu Khan nodded immediately after hearing this. But then, he immediately came back to his senses, showed an incredible expression, looked at Dulbert Khan, and asked in a very surprised tone
Said: "What did you just say, that you surrendered to the Ming Dynasty?"
"Yes!" Dulbert Khan nodded immediately, "Since we can't defeat the Ming Dynasty and don't surrender, we can either move west to a place where the Ming army can't attack, or we must submit to the Ming Dynasty and become a powerful part of it!"
"..." Oqiltu Khan was speechless again after hearing this.
He really couldn't refute Dulbert Khan's words.
The three tribes of Mobei, whose strength is similar to that of the entire Wasi tribe, were all swept away by the Ming army. Is it possible that Wasi can still defeat the Ming army?
According to what Dulbert Khan said, when the Ming army was strong and faced with the Ming army's new way of fighting, if it could not cope with it, the only option was to move westward to a place where the Ming army would not reach.
However, the migration of tribes is definitely not an easy task.
Good pastures have long been occupied by other tribes. And it basically follows a rule: good pastures are always occupied by powerful tribes.
When a tribe occupies a new pasture, it must first fight a war. Whether it can win is another question!
Thinking of these things, Oqiltu Khan looked at Dulbert Khan in front of him. After hesitating for a moment, he asked: "What are the benefits of surrendering to the Ming Dynasty?"
After hearing this, Dulbert Khan told him the latest grassland strategy of the Ming Dynasty without hiding anything from him.
After saying this, Oqiltu Khan shook his head and said: "Ask me to hand over the Heshuo Special Department, but you can't do it!"
Before Gushi Khan led 40,000 elites away, he had told him to be soft when it was time to be soft. Based on this, he professed his vassalage to the Qing Dynasty and also showed favor to the powerful Jungar tribe. All of this
, all based on the fact that he is now the Great Khan of the Heshuo Special Department.
He would not be able to accept it if there was no Heshuo Special Department in the future.
Dulbert Khan knew this very well. In fact, he was also entangled at the beginning. But after seeing the power of the Ming Kingdom in Guihua City, he understood that if he didn't obey, Dulbert's tribe would most likely do the same.
perish.
And since he is older, it is easier to look at him than the young Oqiltu Khan: From ancient times to the present, there have been countless changes in the Mongolian tribes on the grasslands! Even the most glorious tribes have perished.
time, let alone a tribe that was not strong in the first place!
