The Ming army general said it very realistically and was indeed considering the Turkut tribe. After saying that, he waited for the Khan of the Turkut tribe to make a decision.
When Ayuqi heard this, his eyes shone, and he looked at his father's sweat with an expectant look on his face.
However, as a great khan of the Turkut tribe, if he really made a decision immediately after hearing what others said, he would not be a great khan of the Turkut tribe.
After pondering for a while, Pengchuk laughed and said enthusiastically to the Ming general, the fellow villager: "I am very grateful to the Governor of the Ming Dynasty for caring about us. I am also happy to be a member of the Ming Dynasty. But you also know that no matter what, Ben Khan cannot make a decision. He also needs to discuss with the elders of the tribe. There are other tribes that migrated with our tribe. We also need to discuss and explain the good intentions of the Ming Dynasty to them."
Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think this is good? Ben Khan sent someone to see the Governor, and while expressing Ben Khan's respect, he gave to Samara Fort... Oh, it was the Ming soldiers of Minway Fort, and on the other hand, I don't know if the Governor could make some practical promises. Only in this way can Ben Khan give other patriarchs and elders a more convincing explanation to persuade them to become subordinates of the Ming Dynasty."
After saying that, Pengchuk was about to ask his confidant to discuss with the Governor of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, it was just a negotiation to see what the actual benefits were.
In other words, people who have reached their status rarely act emotionally, but are more concerned about interests.
After hearing his words, the Ming general suddenly laughed, a little suddenly, which surprised Pengchuk and others.
Immediately afterwards, he took out a rolled-up item and handed it to Ponchuk with both hands and said, "This is the letter from the Governor to the Khan. I believe that all the things that Khan wants are on it."
When Peng Chuke heard this, the feeling of trying to be seen through in his heart made him feel trembled.
So he quickly stretched out his hands, took them respectfully, and opened them, but they were written in Mongolian. It was obvious that he was considering whether he could understand the details. In this way, he felt that the governor of the Ming Dynasty seemed very powerful.
Then, Pengchuk immediately looked carefully.
In this letter, Hong Chengchou told him bluntly that if he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty at this time, it would be of great help to the Ming Dynasty's actions in the Ming Fort. Hong Chengchou was willing to ask the emperor for his merits. According to past practice, the title of the Khan of the Turkut tribe should be corresponding to the duke or marquis, other patriarchs, elders, etc., and he would probably get a second-class title. Of course, what title is in the end is decided by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Hong Chengchou could not guarantee it.
After surrendering, the tribes had to accept the reorganization of the Ming Dynasty, either for the people or for the army, and the Ming Dynasty treated them equally.
One thing, Hong Chengchou explained in advance: the rulers of the original tribe will not be able to continue to be in power, but will be mobilized by the Ming Dynasty, or go to the Ming Dynasty to enjoy happiness, or go to other places to serve. This is the same, including Eziertu Khan of the Weila tribe.
Of course, based on the situation in Minwayburg, this kind of transfer may be postponed. After defeating the main force of Tsarist Russia, it will be reorganized on a large scale and the transfer of personnel in power.
In this letter, Hong Chengchou also explained that the Turkut tribe did not submit to the Ming Dynasty. He told Pengchuk in a blunt manner that the territory after the Ming Dynasty would definitely include Fort Mingwei.
"Where can you let others sleep peacefully?" The Ming army will sooner or later send troops to sweep the surrounding area. If the Tuer tribe did not surrender, but instead beat them to the attack, it would not be treated as the people of the Ming Dynasty. The Tuer tribe would definitely not have a good life.
Regarding this, Hong Chengchou gave examples of the Mongolian ethnic groups in the eastern region. They surrendered to the Jianlu of Liaodong, but were eventually defeated by the Ming army. After three years of refining their merits, they received the same treatment as the people of the Ming Dynasty.
As for whether the Ming Dynasty had the ability to see the Viga Volga River Basin, Hong Chengchou gave another example: How about Tsarist Russia, or the Turgut tribe, compared to the Mughal Empire?
Peng Chuke looked at the letter, and sweat appeared on his forehead. Although Hong Chengchou was polite in his words, what Hong Chengchou explained was pressing him like a mountain.
Not to mention anything else, just this last example. The Turgut tribe definitely cannot compete with the Mughal Empire. Even Tsarist Russia is probably just around the corner with the Mughal Empire. However, the Ming Emperor only led more than 20,000 cavalry troops and took more than a year to destroy the Mughal Empire.
Let me ask, even if it is Tsarist Russia, can it block the Ming army's military front? Even if it can block the 200,000 Ming army, the Ming Dynasty is now vast and has a large number of troops. Even if it has a 200,000 Ming army, it is not surprising that Tsarist Russia can block it?
Obviously, Tsarist Russia must not be able to stop the Ming army. Since even Tsarist Russia cannot stop the Ming army, why should the Turkish troops block the Ming army's troops?
Where will the Turgut tribe go in the future and where he himself goes, they are all placed in front of Pengchuk, and now they are about to make a choice!
It is undeniable that the Turkut tribe, as the most powerful force in the Volga River Basin, has a great weight in the war between Tsarist Russia and the Ming army.
If the Turgut tribe helped Tsarist Russia defeat the Ming army, then the Turgut tribe would probably be just a dog of Tsarist Russia as before. Although it is indeed still in power, it is still a Tsarist Russian dog, and this will not change!
Moreover, if the Ming army is defeated this time, more Ming troops will come back. Maybe even the invincible emperor will lead the army in person. When that time comes, who is sure to defeat the Ming emperor?
In addition, according to what this fellow villager said just now, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty said that those who violate the Ming Dynasty would be punished even if they are far away. At that time, it might be the time for the Tuergut tribe to destroy the clan.

After reading the letter, Peng Chuke was speechless for a long time and thought a lot in his mind.
People around him, including his son Ayuqi, knew that he was considering very important things when he saw him like this, so no one disturbed him and waited for him to finish his thoughts.
I don't know how long it took, but suddenly, Pengchuk took a deep breath, then vomited it out again, came to his senses, and saw that others were looking at him, he smiled, suddenly found his head full of sweat, and then reached out to wipe it randomly, and said to the general of the Ming army with a smile: "Please stay a few more days, Ben Khan will convene a tribal meeting now. Ben Khan will do his best to convince them to return to the Ming Dynasty and fight for the Ming Dynasty!"
After seeing the relieved smile on the face of the Khan of the Turkut tribe, the Ming army general guessed it. After hearing this, he replied emotionally: "I came from the Turgut tribe. I am really very pleased that the Khan can make the right choice. The Ming Dynasty is invincible today, but it is never good to the people of the Ming Dynasty. The Khan is responsible for the Turgut tribe, and the descendants of the future generations will thank the Khan for his kindness."
Hearing this, Ponchuck smiled and laughed happily.
When A Yuqi and others saw it, they all laughed together. This result was obviously the best, and they were happy to see it.
After the relaxed atmosphere, Ponchuck said to the generals of the Ming army: "As far as I know, the environment in which the Cossacks of the Don River is located is similar to that of our Turkut tribe. The Tsar launched a war for two years and fought with Poland constantly, and exploited us very well. Otherwise, I will try to contact them to see if they are willing to submit to the Ming Dynasty?"
Hearing this, the Ming general was happy and said quickly: "If you really can convince them to come to the Ming Dynasty, it will be the Khan's contribution. The foreign races should be the same as here. If they accept it, it would be best. It doesn't matter if they can't accept it. It just gives us a chance to make military achievements!"
Obviously, his attitude towards whether the enemy was a Turgut tribe or other tribes.
Pengchuk could feel the confidence and desire for military merit in the speech of the Ming army, and his understanding of the Ming army became deeper. So he welcomed the Ming army more enthusiastically, and at the same time sent orders to other tribes to hold tribal meetings as quickly as possible.
Of course, he also sent people to invite Stepan Rasin, the leader of the Don Cossacks, to attend the conference to see if they were willing to join the Ming Dynasty.
The Ming army generals would also serve as representatives of the Ming army to attend the conference. In addition, he also sent people back to Fort Mingwei and reported the situation here to Hong Chengchou.
There is no doubt about the future choice of the tribe. As a great knight, the opinion of Pongchuk is the most important part, which can influence the choices of other tribe patriarchs and elders.
At the tribal meeting, after he said all the things he thought about, including whether to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, the situation became obvious.
Even the Khan who held the most power had to surrender, and other people were naturally no exception. In trouble, they were eager to get rid of such a life when people were living in poverty and being bullied as soon as possible.
After the unanimous decision was made, the Ming army generals joined the association and everyone started to communicate happily.
Stepan Rasin, who watched the Turgut tribe conference, did not express his attitude at all, but he also communicated with the Ming generals. However, in addition to general questions, he also asked some details of the Ming army's war and finally made a request, saying that he had not received the promise of the Governor of the Ming Kingdom, so he wanted to meet the Governor of the Ming Kingdom in person.
The Ming generals of course welcomed this. If the Cossacks of the Don River could surrender to the Ming Dynasty, it would be his credit.
