Chapter 747 What does the fate of the Golden Family have to do with Tang Tubu?
One cry of "Sir!" saved the entire Tangtu tribe.
After thinking about the fear of being dominated by the word "soldier," Li Mingchen unconsciously thought of the saying, "Soldiers are there to protect the country, not to ride roughshod over the people." He then thought of the saying, "We must distinguish who our real enemies are and who our friends are. We should make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible."
"When officers do not beat soldiers and soldiers are treated equally, an army like this is like a furnace that can melt even captured enemies."
"Unite with true friends and attack true enemies."
"Like the Central Plains, the grasslands also have class issues."
“Ordinary herders are also oppressed by their Khan, Noyan nobles and chieftains.”
"The herders who own cattle and sheep may bully those who do not."
"..."
Li Mingchen unconsciously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
so close.
I almost forgot the master's teachings because of my previous successes with the Zhao Mao Rabbit Tribe, the Hulusitai Tribe, and the deserter rabbit tribe.
After the chieftain of the Tangtu tribe raised his hands and led the lamb to Li Mingchen, Li Mingchen asked directly, "Is the Tangtu tribe willing to surrender?"
The chieftain of the Tangtu tribe, Tangtu Morigen, knelt directly on the ground and loudly replied, "The Tangtu tribe is willing to surrender. We beg the Ming army to spare our lives."
Damn it!
It's another soldier!
Li Mingchen rolled his eyes and said loudly, "I can accept the surrender of the Tangtu tribe, but the Tangtu tribe must lift its guard, and all three hundred cavalrymen must dismount and be placed under the supervision of my men."
"In addition, the Tangtu tribe, like the Zhaomaotu, Hulusitai, and Taojuntu tribes, must migrate south into the pass, accept the settlement of the Ming government, and honestly cultivate the land. They can only return to the grasslands to graze their livestock after the war on the grasslands ends."
"If you are willing to accept my terms, then order your cavalry to lay down their weapons, dismount, and surrender."
"If you cannot accept my terms, then you may return. Let the outcome on the battlefield decide everything."
As Li Mingchen finished speaking, Tangtu Morigen was completely stunned.
Is this Ming official in front of me suffering from some serious illness?
Or perhaps we've attracted some kind of unclean spirit?
Or perhaps the Eternal Heaven protected Tang Tu's tribe, causing this Ming official to have a problem with his head?
Otherwise, why would he offer such outrageous terms?
The surrender of the Tangtu tribe meant that the three hundred cavalrymen dismounted and surrendered, accepting their fate. Even if Li Mingchen wanted to drag out and kill those taller than a cartwheel, the Tangtu tribe would accept it, only asking that the children who were no taller than a cartwheel be allowed to live.
But this Ming official is quite something. He's asking the Tangtu tribe to move south and submit to the Ming, and it seems like he'll even give them some land so they can learn how to farm. Plus, he says they'll have the chance to return to the grasslands later.
Not only did they spare the people of Tangtu tribe, they also gave Tangtu some land.
How could this be the ruthless killer described in the rumors?
This is clearly a living Bodhisattva descended from the Eternal Heaven!
Tangtu Morigen stared blankly at Li Mingchen for a moment, then knelt down again and proclaimed loudly, "The Hutuktu sent down by the Eternal Heaven, the Tangtu tribe is willing to accept your arrangement, lay down our weapons, and migrate south into the pass."
……
Tangtu Morigen not only agreed to the conditions of migrating south into the pass, but also took the initiative to propose that the Tangtu tribe should send two hundred cavalrymen to go to Karakorum with Li Mingchen.
It's just that Karakorum was burned down.
If Liu Bilie could burn it, why can't the Hutuktu sent down by the Eternal Heaven be burned?
Or rather, what does the life or death of their Golden Family have to do with Tang Tubu?
Absolutely not!
During the White and Black Disasters, the Khan of the Golden Family never sent anyone to deliver food for disaster relief.
When they went south to raid for grain, they would receive orders from the Golden Family to recruit soldiers. Most of the looted grain would be taken by the Golden Family, and the remaining small portion would be divided among the larger tribes. Small tribes like the Tangtu tribe would not even get a small share of the benefits.
To hell with the Golden Family! From now on, the Tangtu tribe will be the most loyal herdsmen of the Ming Emperor!
Therefore, when Li Wenzhong led his men to intercept Li Mingchen in the Hala River bend, Li Mingchen's cavalry force had expanded to nearly two thousand men, all of whom were Mongol cavalry.
"That's fucking awesome."
Li Wenzhong circled Li Mingchen twice, then suddenly kicked Li Mingchen and cursed, "Your master is no good, and none of you are good either!"
"Damn it, I'm a dignified Duke, and you, a mere county magistrate, are ordering me around, searching for people all over the grasslands. You're really something!"
"And you even managed to muster two thousand cavalry!"
"When did these herders on the grasslands become so easy to fool?"
Li Mingchen straightened up and pretended to be stupid.
There was nothing they could do. Li Wenzhong was the Duke of Cao, and in a sense, he was the Duke's cousin. They could only suffer the kick from him.
Otherwise, should we go back and complain to the master's wife?
I wonder if Master's wife can handle Duke Cao?
Li Mingchen was pondering wildly in his mind, but Li Wenzhong said with a dark face, "Tell me! Are you planning to go to Helin next?"
"You guys are really something else. Out of twenty-five county magistrates, three of them secretly ran off to the grasslands, and they all went straight to Karakorum."
"What? So, you three are the only ones in our Great Ming who know how to fight, and you four are the only ones who can find Karakorum?"
At this point, Li Wenzhong couldn't help but rub his forehead again.
My head hurts, it really hurts so much.
Three county magistrates ran to the grasslands and each of them raised a cavalry unit. Who would believe that?
The real problem is, where the hell can we even seek justice?
Li Mingchen was also dumbfounded.
"Three?"
Damn it, who are those two bastards who are left?
Are you also planning to burn down the forest?
Li Mingchen glanced at Li Wenzhong and asked cautiously, "Besides me, who else is there?"
Li Wenzhong glared fiercely at Li Mingchen.
“Zhang Lin from Yongning was stopped by the Kaiping Guard just a few days after he left the pass. When Gou Ru was stopped, he had already gathered a thousand cavalry.”
“That Wang Xingming from Mizhi, Shaanxi, that bastard is just like Zhang Lin, he also raised a thousand cavalry.”
"But you, you actually managed to gather two thousand men, and even the Duke of this country followed you around in circles!"
Li Mingchen chuckled twice, then paused slightly in surprise.
its not right.
This official has been caught by the Duke of Cao.
Does that mean the two thousand cavalrymen that I painstakingly gathered will also belong to Duke Cao?
wrong.
Is the focus on the two thousand cavalry?
The main issue is that I haven't even burned down Helin yet, and I'm being sent back to the Ming Dynasty like this. Will I be punished? Will it implicate the lord?
Li Mingchen felt increasingly guilty as he thought about it, and suddenly looked at Li Wenzhong and asked, "May I ask, Your Excellency, about this matter..."
Li Wenzhong glanced at Li Mingchen and said sarcastically, "What, are you scared now?"
