"Yeah!" Seeing Zhu Youjian, Bumubutai could not understand, and even showed off his rich Mongolian knowledge. "The Junggar tribe is the most powerful, and the current Heshuote tribe was forced to move south."

"Moving south?" Zhu Youjian was shocked. Isn't Qinghai or Tibet to the south of Xinjiang? No wonder he has heard the story of "Mongolia-Tibet Confluence". Did it happen in Daming

"Yes," Bumbutai affirmed Zhu Youjian's thoughts. "The Heshuote Ministry has now moved to your Daming land. It seems to be Uszangdusi and Dorgandus. It seems that Daming has also acquiesced to their south. move."

"Niang Xipi!" Zhu Youjian cursed in his heart. Just after the Great Kingdom was destroyed, another Heshuote tribe made trouble in the south. "Bumbutai, you continue to say."

"Mobei Mongolia is far away from Daming, and there is no formal contact with Daming. I don't know what Daming calls them," Bumubutai looked helpless. "They live on both sides of the Klulun River and extend northward to fishing. Hai, there are currently three tribes of Zasaktu Khan, Tushetu Khan, and Chechen Khan. The two herdsmen who have just been captured are from Chechen Khan.

"Understood," Zhu Youjian felt that Bumubutai's explanation was very concise, and it was the material for a teacher to become a teacher. "How far is the Cruelen River from the fishing sea?"

"About a thousand miles, this is basically where the Mobei Mongols live. Although the area is extensive, the population is small."

"Why? They have such a vast land, why can't they multiply a large number of people? Isn't there no river here, and there is not enough water and grass?"

"The river is very rich, but it is very cold here, the winter time is too long, and the growth period of the grass is very short. Mobei Mongolia is forced to live in this cold place because of its sparse population and weak strength."

"So that's what happened!" Zhu Youzhen was slightly worried. This place is too cold. Can the Han people adapt to the climate here? However, Zhu Youjian remembered the story of Su Wu and herding sheep, which seemed to have happened near the fishing sea, and Li Ling, the grandson of Li Guang, who was captured by the Huns and farming land for the Huns seemed to have happened in the same area.

"Bumbutai, have you heard the story of Su Wu and Shepherd Sheep?"

"Su Wu Shepherd?" Bumubutai shook his head, "This servant has never heard of it. Is it the story of a Mongolian?"

"No, this is the story of the Han people." Zhu Youzhen originally wanted to confirm whether this story happened in the fishing sea. If Su Wu and Li Ling could live in this area, then other Han people should also be able to live here. , Since Bu Mu Butai didn't know, then forget it.

"Your Majesty..." Bu Mu Butai whispered when Zhu Youzhen was lost in thought.

"Ao, Bumbutai, you go down first, I want to be quiet for a while."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bumbutai left the hall and returned to the bedroom.

Zhu Youjian thought of Chechen Khan. Since it is not possible to emigrate the Han people to the fishing sea for the time being, first move these Mongols here. The Mongols are used to the severe cold and should be able to adapt to the low temperature here.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youqin summoned the soldiers: "Send the order, immediately look for Chechen Khan's big account."

The big tent of Chechen Khan was found in the upper reaches of the Klulun River. It is still summer, and herdsmen are scattered all over grazing. Near the big tent, there are only 20,000 herders.

When Chechen Khan discovered the Ming army, they had already been surrounded. The 80,000 Ming army had already surrounded them. If it weren't for Zhu Youjian to capture these herdsmen, Man Gui would have already started rushing and killing them.

In order to protect the herders, Chechen Khan organized three thousand cavalrymen and began to attack the Ming army's position. However, in front of tens of thousands of flintlocks, all these three thousand Chechen Khan cavalry soon fell.

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Zhu Youzhen regretted the cavalry very much. If they were captured, they would be very good laborers, but he knew that the Mongols had always been brave, and they would definitely not surrender if they didn't come up with some means.

After soaking in the urine, three thousand cavalry were gone, Chechen sweat was stunned. In his hands, he could barely collect two or three thousand cavalry, but he did not dare to attack anymore. His eyes were dumbfounded. Staring blankly at the Ming army outside.

"Your Majesty, I will persuade them to surrender!" Bu Mu Butai squeezed in front of Zhu Youjian and was with the soldiers. She was also wearing a military uniform, brave and heroic.

"No, you are past now, it's too dangerous." Zhu Youzhen flatly refused.

"Then... Your Majesty, it's better to release the two captured herdsmen, and the slave and maid let them speak to Chechen Khan and let him come over and negotiate."

"This is fine, let go of one person first," Zhu Youjian was overjoyed, a ready-made messenger. "You show your identity and tell them that Horqin has taken refuge in Daming. If they refuse to surrender, we will kill them. For the sake of all herders, let Chechen Khan come over immediately for peace talks."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Bumubutai repeatedly confessed to the captured Chechen herdsmen, and then released them back.

"Your Majesty, do you think Chechen Khan will come over for peace talks?"

"I don't know, you Mongols' temperament, I really can't tell." Zhu Youjian looked at Bumubutai, "What do you think? Will they surrender?"

"Your Majesty, in the desperate situation, the servants estimate that they will still surrender, and no one can watch their herdsmen be killed."

"That's the best. If they can't take refuge in Daming, there is only one dead end."

Zhu Youjian didn't wait long, and two war horses rushed out of Chechen Khan's tent.

"Your Majesty, they are here." Bu Mubutai was excited.

"Here? Is it Chechen Khan?"

"The servant maid did not know Chechen Khan, but the servant maid estimated that it was not Chechen Khan who came this time."

"Ao," Zhu Youjian wants to make a quick decision. There are many herdsmen in the periphery. If they organize cavalry, it will be a threat to the Ming army. "Listen first to what they have to say."

The two on horseback got off their horses from a long distance, saying that they were not hostile, and they asked loudly in Mongolian, "Who is the Gege of Horqin?"

"I am." Bumbutai greeted him, "Who are you?"

Zhu Youjian had been sitting on the horse, watching Bumubutai talk to them for a long time, and he gradually became impatient.

Fortunately, Bumbutai came over, "Your Majesty, they are verifying the identity of the servants, so they talked a little longer."

"Oh," Zhu Youjian nodded, "what else did they say? Will Chechen Khan surrender?"

"Your Majesty, they are just messengers of Chechen Khan. They asked your Majesty, why did you shoot and kill their herdsmen?"

"So you didn't want to surrender?" Zhu Youjian was furious. "You tell them that I will kill them so that they will not be left, and the weak will eat the strong. This is the law of the grassland. It is difficult to beat them.

"Your Majesty..."

"Don't worry, to be honest, let me see if the people in Chechen Khan are made of steel."

"Your Majesty, looking at Yinu's maidservant, they have some intention of surrendering, but they haven't made up their minds yet."

"Well, I don't care. I don't have time to spend with them. After all, this is the grassland and their territory. Tell them, let Chechen Khan come over and negotiate in person."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Bumbutai went over and said a few words in Mongolian to the messenger. The two messengers looked up at Zhu Youzhen, then turned their horse's head and raised their hoofs.

"Da da da… "

Hundreds of cavalry rushed out of the Chechen Khan’s big tent. They stopped in front of Zhu Youjian. The leading cavalry had a round head and a round body. He shouted to the Ming army. Yelling: "You, who is the Emperor of Ming Dynasty?"

Bu Mu Butai automatically acted as a translator: "Your Majesty, he is looking for you!"

"What are you looking for? Tell him, I am here."

Bumbutai pointed his throat: "The Emperor of Daming is here, what do you have to say?"

The man kept Zhu Youjian with his horse whip: "We are grazing well, why do you surround us and kill thousands of our herdsmen?"

Zhu Youzhen sneered: "Hundreds of years ago, the Han people were also farming on their own land, but you Mongolians, didn't you kill the area where we Han people live? You also ruled our Han people for nearly a hundred years."

Bumbutai translated it, but the man laughed up to the sky: "Hahaha... If our Genghis Khan is still there, will you allow you Han people to be arrogant here?"

Zhu Youjian said to Bu Mu Butai: "I am too lazy to talk with him, but I just asked him whether to drop or not to drop."

The man was even more arrogant: "We are descendants of Genghis Khan, how will we surrender to the Han Chinese? Although you have many people, the prairie has always been the world of our Mongolians. Who can stop it?"

Zhu Youzhen whispered to the soldiers next to him: "Ask the captured herder who is this person."

The soldier agreed to leave, and soon he returned to Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty, he said, this person is Chechen Khan."

"Go, find two soldiers with good marksmanship..." Zhu Youzhen originally wanted to capture Chechen Khan alive, and then use his identity to gather nearby herders, but Chechen Khan's arrogant attitude made him make up his mind, and as long as Chechnya Khan is alive, and with his prestige, he may lead the Mongolian rebellion in the future. Since Chechen Khan is so ignorant to promote him, Zhu Youzhen happened to destroy their will to resist by destroying the core figures.

"Chechen Khan, do you know that if you refuse to surrender, none of your subordinates can run away. They are your subordinates and will die because of you."

"Our descendants of Genghis Khan never cared about life or death." Although Chechen Khan was surrounded by the Ming army, he did not admit to his words.

"You have to think about it. They died because of you." Zhu Youzhen nakedly provoked Chechen Khan's relationship with others.

"Don't talk too much. If you want to fight, you will fight. We are waiting at any time."

"Are you going to have the heart to let all your subordinates bury you for the sake of this sweat?" Zhu Youzhen increased his tone.

Chechen Khan apparently discovered Zhu Youjian's intention: "Ah... you cunning Han dog..."

"Bang, bang."

With two gunshots, Chechen Khan’s gaze was quickly restrained. He swayed on his horse, and suddenly fell down and hit the ground with one head.
