785 Negotiation

In the previous Hami Battle, we can see that Baturhun of the Junggar tribe was a cunning old fox, not so easy to deal with. Now, when he was surrounded by a desperate situation, he actually came up with this trick to bring about a resurrection. To be honest, Emperor Chongzhen really admired him a little.

At the beginning, Emperor Chongzhen was very angry and finally surrounded him. Should he let him run away again?

But when I thought about it, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed. To put it in a sentence that can be understood by later generations, it would be impossible for Baturhun to be the undercover agent of my Ming Dynasty, who sent a divine assist so that the Ming Dynasty could gain a foothold in the Western Barbarians and achieve direct jurisdiction!

"Okay, okay, okay, Comrade Baturhui is welcome to escape from death!" Emperor Chongzhen thought so in his mind, and was ready to cooperate with him.

…………

At the entrance of the valley, groups of soldiers from the Junggar tribe held bows and arrows and were ready to fight, which made the Ming soldiers who saw them feel much more relaxed. As long as these turtles confirmed to be hiding here, what if they guarded the entrance of the valley?

Under the command of various generals, the Ming army began to slowly approach the valley entrance according to their respective defense areas, forming a tight blockade line, not giving Junggar's troops any possibility of breaking through.

Hong Chengchou was also excited to remind Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, send a team of people to see if there are other paths to walk in the valley. Be sure to block them all."

In fact, the Ming army had more than 45,000 troops all came over, not only the three layers inside and three layers outside were blocked at the entrance of the valley, but other troops could extend far to both sides with the entrance of the valley as the center. Even if there were small paths in the valley, it would not be possible to go far.

Besides, the grassland is vast and if someone really wants to escape, Ming Jun can see it at a glance, how many can he escape?

However, Hong Chengchou's proposal was a prudent strategy, and it was reasonable. Emperor Chongzhen ignored him and nodded in agreement.

So, a cavalry was divided into two sides of the valley, running along the Tianshan Mountains to the distance, patrolling other places.

Just as the Ming army soldiers were about to fight for military merit in the last battle in the Western Regions, there was suddenly a movement in the valley.

There were many people huddled out of the valley, men, women, young and old in Mongolian costumes were tied up, and two men in the same Mongolian costumes were pushed out from front and back, holding steel knives, and were fierce, as if they would chop people up if they had a disagreement. There were too many people coming out, so after leaving the valley, they could not stand at the entrance of the valley, so they could only extend to both sides of the valley.

This scene made the Ming army soldiers see it inexplicably. What does this mean? Is the Junggar tribe crazy when facing a desperate situation? They want to threaten the imperial army with their own men, women, young and old? Isn’t this a joke!

At first, Hong Chengchou thought so. However, he soon came to his senses, his face changed suddenly, and his brain teasers turned around. He immediately approached Emperor Chongzhen and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, without further ado, send cavalry to rush the enemy immediately. You can't give the Junggar tribe any opportunity to cheat!"

As he said this, he deliberately emphasized the tone of "You can't give the Junggar tribe any opportunity to be cheated."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard what he said, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at him, thinking in his heart, isn't it good, his mind is very quick! If the Ming Dynasty had enough population and could quickly immigrate to the Tianshan Mountains and form a sufficient population base to rule the Tianshan Mountains so that the Ming Dynasty could expand westward as soon as possible, it has to be said that Hong Chengchou's method is OK. But now...

Then Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and said, "It's okay!"

Then he turned around and looked at the valley, watching the people there constantly escorting men, women, and young people out.

Hong Chengchou was stunned when he heard this, "It's okay." The emperor knew whether the people of the Junggar tribe were going to use any conspiracy tricks. It would be okay? By then, the Junggar tribe would break the identities of those who were threatened in front of the entire army, most of the soldiers in the army were Mongolian books. Wouldn't the emperor be worried about the death of the rabbit and the fox being sad? Even if they obeyed the military order, it would be harmful to the emperor's prestige!

If an attack is launched at this time, it is equivalent to not giving the Jung Ger tribe a chance. Even if he finds out later, no one will say the emperor or something!

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou became anxious and hurriedly approached a little closer and whispered: "Your Majesty, those who are threatened may be people from other tribes such as the Heshuote tribe. The Junggar tribe wants to negotiate terms with this!"

"I know!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded disapprovingly after hearing this.

Ah, the emperor knew? When Hong Chengchou heard this, he thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel a little stupid. He knew that he would not raid quickly. Do he really want the people of the Junggar tribe to make the identities of those people public?

When Emperor Chongzhen saw Hong Chengchou's anxious look, he smiled and said to him: "Have Hong Qing ever thought that if he destroys all the people in the valley in this battle, how many people can there be in the Tianshan area? Now that the Ming Dynasty has expanded its territory, it is already immigrating to Hetao, Liaodong, and North Korea. How can there be enough population to enrich the Tianshan area? Time is too late, and the Tianshan area is going to become the foundation for the Ming Dynasty to continue the Western Expedition. No one believes this!"

After hearing this, Hong Chengchou immediately understood that the emperor wanted to save those people from other tribes annexed by the Junggar tribe. If he could save him in this case, he would definitely be grateful to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, and he would definitely obey the Ming Dynasty.

But... But in this way, wouldn't the Zhungeal tribe be let go again? This vast grassland and the vast Western Regions, it doesn't matter how long it will take to catch them again!

Thinking of this in his heart, he had to remind him: "Your Majesty, this method is indeed beneficial to our Ming Dynasty to gain a foothold in the Western Regions, but let the Junggar tribe run away..."

Hearing his words, Emperor Chongzhen interrupted, "Haha, I'm here, it's easy to destroy this jung-Ger tribe, so what if he lets him run away!"

The words are full of confidence and very confident!

In fact, it is also true that now face-to-face, try to "reward" the other party as many leaders as possible, and are you afraid that they can escape? You don't have to draw circles on the map to chase them without going to heaven and without going to the ground. However, Emperor Chongzhen himself would only work harder, but he could expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty to the Western Regions, recreate the magnificence of the Tang Dynasty, and lay the foundation for creating glory in the future. What is the point of hard work!

Hearing the emperor's confident answer and recalling the emperor's unparalleled divine calculation, Hong Chengchou thought that the emperor must be very confident that he would not let the Junggar tribe run away. If this is true, then the moment would be like giving the Ming Dynasty a chance to truly conquer the hearts of the people in the Western Regions!

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou bowed to Emperor Chongzhen and said in admiration: "There is no more wise than Your Majesty, I admire you very much!"

Seeing that he understood the whole idea, Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and continued to watch the performance of the Junggar tribe.

…………

There were already tens of thousands of Mongolians standing at the entrance of the valley. At this time, those who came out of the valley were no longer tied men, women, young and old, but adult men, tied with their hands and held on their necks with knives. These people all have one thing in common, that is, they were ragged and obviously abused.

Seeing this scene, many Ming army soldiers had already guessed that these people were definitely not members of the Junggar tribe. I remembered other tribes that had just been annexed by the Junggar tribe, especially the Ming army soldiers in Mongolian books, and there was some commotion.

To be honest, the weak are doomed to the grassland, and the end of the weak is destined. They can understand these. However, seeing their end at this moment, they are somewhat empathetic. You must know that before they surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, they were actually weak on the grassland.

On the valley, Baturhun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that the Ming army had not been moved. It seemed that the Emperor of Ming was still careless when he was sure to win. Since he did not take advantage of the opportunity to fight out of the valley, then the most critical moment was next.

Thinking of this, he said to his son Sengge whom he admires the most: "Okay, go, remember, the Emperor of Ming must be very proud of his face, and he must seize this negotiation!"

"Don't worry, father Khan, it's all about the safety of the entire clan, and the sons must do their best!" After Sengge finished speaking, he left immediately.

At this time, Zhuotbabatul did not compete with him, but just wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at countless Ming cavalrymen in a restless manner.

After a while, a team of knights rushed out of the valley and came to the front of the threatened crowd in the valley. They held a white flag to signal, and then shouted loudly: "I am Sengge, the fifth son of King Khan of the Gar tribe. I have something to say to the Emperor of Ming."

Sengge shouted loudly in Mongolian dialect, and then there was a person beside him shouting translation in Ming Dynasty Mandarin with a strong accent.

After shouting, he was afraid that the Emperor of Ming would ignore him. After all, they were surrounded now, and the other party was the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, so he could not meet just by saying that he could meet him.

So Sengge shouted loudly again: "These tied people are from the Heshuot tribe, Dulbert, Turkut, and Huit, and other tribes. They have all surrendered to your Ming Dynasty, and they are the people of your Ming Dynasty. And these..."

While saying this, he rode his horse along the group of tied Mongolian men, pointing at them and shouting loudly: "No matter how our Junggar tribe persuades them to whip them, they are determined to join the Ming Dynasty with Eziertu Khan and become a Ming people..."

At the beginning, there were noises on the Ming army, but there were shouting here. The Ming army soldiers naturally wanted to hear what he said, so they all became quiet.

Therefore, Sengge's words could be spread far and could be heard by many Ming soldiers.

"... I have heard for a long time that the Ming Dynasty is a country of etiquette, and the Ming Emperor is a good emperor who loves the people as much as his son! In my opinion, these are also good people of the Ming Dynasty, and are they worthy of the Ming Emperor's discussion? Just for these good people of the Ming Dynasty! As long as we can let us go, these people, in the valley, will they all return them to you Daming!" Sengge shouted loudly, a little nervous, and a little unsure.
