Chapter 477 Why?
The people of the Aohan tribe naturally also heard the news, but under the siege of the [-] Ming cavalry, only a part escaped.The herd, which was the foundation of the tribe, was naturally gone.

Unlike the conquest of several other tribes, Emperor Chongzhen decreed that all the cattle and sheep seized from the Aohan tribe should not be killed, but should be driven back.

Wu Sangui and the others were worried about this, they were afraid that if the pursuers arrived, it would be troublesome.

"It's okay, they didn't come back so soon." Emperor Chongzhen said to them with a smile, "This time when you go back to reward your meritorious deeds, do you want me to reward you with beef or a farm ox?"

Hearing this, the soldiers of the Ming army immediately became excited, looking into the eyes of the cattle, it was a little star.

It goes without saying how important farming cattle are to a farming nation.Even if manpower can plow the land without fear of getting tired, the effect is far less than that of plowing the land with oxen.In an ordinary farmer's household, a cow is probably worth all the other belongings.

If the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty took a cow back, the farm work at home would be much easier and the harvest would be much more. This is the hope of ordinary people!What's more, every time the emperor wins a battle, he will be rewarded with fields. As long as he fights with peace of mind, the family's fields will not be short.

On the way back to the pass, the soldiers of the Ming army were secretly discussing among themselves.

"Fighting with the emperor is the easiest thing. No, you can't eat it and you still take it with you!"

"Following the emperor out to fight, it feels like celebrating the New Year, and there is meat to eat!"

"Haha, no! But I think the most important thing is that the emperor said he would take us all back. Look, how many people died in the battle this time when we left the border? From what I heard, it seemed like 50 people? Or 60 people?"

"That's right, even counting those who died from serious injuries, there should not be more than 200 people!"

"..."

Naturally, they would not care about it. Emperor Chongzhen led them to fight such a meaty war, which was actually a one-shot deal.At least from the Urad side to the Horqin side of eastern Mongolia, it is difficult to see cattle and sheep on the grassland.

If Da Ming allows it, it will take a few years.

…………

Without receiving the advance notice overnight, Hong Chengchou, the governor of Jiliao, led the civil and military ministers of Shanhaiguan to welcome him out of the pass from a distance.

Although they were all mentally prepared, when they saw that the emperor came back with countless cattle, horses and sheep, they were all stunned: the emperor led the army to the grassland, didn't he go to fight, but came back to graze?

Hong Chengchou and others suppressed their astonishment and hurried to greet Emperor Chongzhen and welcome the emperor's triumphant return. Their hanging hearts could be let go.

At the same time, Hong Chengchou played respectfully: "Your Majesty has won a great victory, and the grassland has been shocked. From now on, all the tribes in the grassland will definitely stay away and never dare to approach my Daming border again!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled slightly and said: "These tribes should have no way to retreat. If they don't go to save their lives, they can only starve to death on the grassland, or they can only vote for me unconditionally! There will be no other way out. !"

When Hong Chengchou and the others heard this, they were surprised again.According to the emperor's opinion, is this killing all the tribes of eastern Mongolia?

He Renlong and the others followed behind the emperor. Seeing their astonishment, they all talked about the emperor's martial arts. Of course, it was also their own credit.

Hearing what they said, Hong Chengchou and others knew that these cattle and sheep did not come from several tribes, but only from the last Aohan tribe.As for the cattle and sheep of other tribes, they were all eaten by the army.Even because of the weather, some beef and mutton were about to spoil, so they had to be thrown away.

While sighing in his heart for wasting so much meat, Hong Chengchou was also a little curious, so he asked about the casualties.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, his expression became serious and he shook his head slightly.

Seeing the emperor's expression, Hong Chengchou immediately understood that with such a big victory, the casualties on his side were indeed not small.But looking back and thinking about it, this is already a rare victory, and it is understandable that there are more casualties.

At this time, the army came windingly, and Hong Chengchou and others couldn't count it, so it's not surprising to have such an idea.

When I was thinking about this, I heard Emperor Chongzhen say seriously: "This time when I went to the grassland, a total of 220 people were killed and 560 people were injured. I thought, try to bring them all back, after all, I still can't do it. It's here!"

"..." When Hong Chengchou heard this, even though he was a well-rounded person, he was speechless for a while.

A total of so few casualties, isn't that satisfactory?Still thinking about bringing them all back, even though you are the emperor, even the Jade Emperor, you probably can't do this, right?Your Majesty, just pretend!
In fact, Hong Chengchou really misunderstood Emperor Chongzhen, he really didn't pretend!
For the souls from later generations, every human life is precious, and it is his expectation to bring everyone back as much as possible, but he just failed to do so.

Compared to what Emperor Chongzhen did not do, no matter whether it is Wu Keshan, Aohan Bandi, or the patriarchs of other tribes, looking at the ruined camp, and the tribesmen who just saved food and have already eaten almost, it is like winter It feels like pouring a bucket of cold water on your head.

Emperor Chongzhen left them this hand, which made it impossible for them to pursue the Ming army, and they had to worry about the next thing.

These old and weak women and children who are waiting to be fed in the clan are the family members of the army they lead, and there is no way to abandon them.However, if you can't ignore it, what will you eat next if you don't have cattle, horses and sheep?
Faced with such a predicament, if they were really worried to a certain extent and would grow old, then Wu Keshan and others would definitely die.

In desperation, most of the tribes made the same choice and asked the Qing Dynasty for help!

After all, Daqing is their leader, and in response to the call of Daqing, the elite of the clan was dispatched to Liaodong to help Daqing fight.As a result, your old lair was taken over, and you, the Qing Dynasty, are always responsible for it, right?

Based on this idea, Wu Keshan and others led their respective tribes, almost grazing all the way, and rushed to Liaodong to ask the leader to call the shots.

Among them, the Aohan tribe is an exception.

Aohan Bandi sat for a whole night, looking up at the starry sky, seeing no one, just thinking about things quietly.

When he received Hong Chengchou's letter, he had already considered it.

But at that time, he thought that he was the son-in-law of the Qing Dynasty, and that the Qing Dynasty was so strong that he had a deep memory.The bravery of the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty is also listed in the list.Although there was a temporary defeat before the Qing Dynasty, the background is still there.

On the other hand, he also didn't believe that Ming country could be reborn and become powerful again suddenly.The current situation may be just a flashback.Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty had entered the customs three or four times, and the Ming army would have no power to fight back, so they could only let the Qing Dynasty plunder the population and supplies.

Every time, he entered the customs with the Qing army, and the memory is still very deep. Before Azige left the customs, he asked someone to write a sign for the Ming army behind him: All troops are free of charge !If the Ming army really wanted to be strong, how could it be so humiliated by the Qing Dynasty?
However, this time, Aohan Bandi led the army to help Liaodong. He was a caring person, secretly observed the situation in Liaodong, and immediately discovered that it is hard to say whether the Ming army is strong or not, but the Qing Dynasty really encountered a huge dilemma.

In the past, as Huang Taiji's son-in-law, he had been to Shengjing many times.Every time I go there, I can see many Han slaves working in the Qing Dynasty, on both sides of the official road, in the fields.On the official road, people come and go, and it is quite lively.

But this time, he accompanied Duoduo to the hinterland of Liaodong to encircle and suppress the cavalry of the Dongjiang Army, passing through many places in the Qing Dynasty.However, he did not see how many Han slaves there were.This is not the place that was destroyed by the Dongjiang cavalry before. As for the Dongjiang cavalry passing by, not to mention the Han slaves, even the people of the Qing Dynasty rarely saw it. It is said that they were all killed by the Dongjiang cavalry.

The population of the Qing Dynasty was originally small, and it was raided once by a cavalry army. It took many years to make up for this loss.

In addition, there is another very important situation, that is, there is a serious shortage of grain and grass in the Qing Dynasty.He already understood this when he returned to the grassland to ask for food from Duoduo this time.

The food he wanted was only a little bit. It wasn't that the Qing Dynasty was stingy, but that it was really impossible to get it out.For this, he was very sure in his heart.

Thinking of this, Aohan Bandi couldn't help asking himself, if he took his tribe to Liaodong and asked the Qing for help, would the Qing have the ability to survive so many tribesmen?

For this question, he can only sigh!Thinking that the Aohan tribe would perish in his hands, he couldn't help but let out another long sigh...

Aohan Bandi's personal guards who were guarding all around saw their patriarch looking up at the starry sky, sighing from time to time, and then sighing again...

Sorrow!

Aohan Bandi's neck was sore. He lowered his head and looked around. He could clearly feel how low the morale of the tribal warriors was!Looking further away, he saw that the clansmen were in the open air without even a yurt, and they were crowded together, and they didn't feel sleepy, because he heard the faint crying.

"Alas..." Aohan Bandi sighed again, couldn't bear to look any further, and looked up at the starry sky again.

If you want to preserve the tribe as much as possible, or there is still a way to go, that is to submit to Daming!After all, Daming is the richest in the world.Although there are many people in our own tribe, they are just a drop in the ocean in Daming!

However, he is the son-in-law of the Qing Dynasty, and he has two children who are also born to Princess Gu Lun.If he surrenders to Daming, is it really okay?Will Emperor Ming believe in his sincerity?

At this time, Aohan Bandi didn't think about it, it was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who led the army to beat his tribe like this.Because on the grassland, the law of the strong is king and the law of the jungle preys on the strong.Being beaten like this by the Ming army can only show that the Ming army is strong!
Thinking of this, Aohan Bandi lowered his head and looked at a sign in front of him. He still recognized a few Chinese characters written on it, which were the words "blood debts paid with blood".This is the attitude of the Ming emperor!

Now that I think about it, Governor Ji Liao's letter probably meant what Emperor Ming meant.Alas, if I understood this at the beginning, maybe I would be more cautious!But now...

Aohan Bandi thought about it, thought and thought, the energy of the whole person can be clearly seen, it seems to be a lot sluggish.

When the eastern sky was pale, Aohan Bandi, who hadn't slept all night, was awakened by the sound of a child crying.Although the parents of those children were trying their best to comfort them and not let them cry, but if there were too many children crying, the movement would be a bit loud after all.

Aohan Bandi, with red eyes, looked at the clansmen in the distance, without saying a word, his expression gradually became a little ferocious.

At this moment, I heard someone yelling: "Go away, don't block the way of Bengong!"

"The prince has an order, no one should disturb..." Before the guard could finish speaking, there was a crisp slap on the face.

Watching this scene, Aohan Bandi suddenly shouted coldly: "Let them come over!"

Hearing this, the personal guard finally stepped aside and let Princess Gu Lun and her two sons go.

Aohanbandi did not sit down, but stood up.But after sitting for too long, his Qi and blood were not smooth, he couldn't stand firmly, and almost fell down. Thanks to the help of his personal guard, he was able to stabilize his body.

Princess Gu Lun came to him at this time, and asked a little angrily: "Why do you even stop me? Today I must give me an explanation, otherwise, I..."

Before she finished speaking, Aohan Bandi pointed to the distance and said: "I am the patriarch of the Aohan tribe. Can the Qing Dynasty give the future of the Aohan tribe?"

Back then, to curry favor with the Qing Dynasty and marry Princess Gulun, after all, it was all for the sake of the Aohan tribe.

When Princess Gu Lun heard his tone, it was not the usual kind of docile to him, but with a hint of anger, which made her feel very dissatisfied immediately. She followed his hand, turned her head and glanced, and found that He pointed out that it was the old and weak women and children of the Aohan tribe in the distance and their family members who had just returned.

Immediately, she also pointed with her finger, and said in a hateful voice: "They are all old and weak women and children, and they are more important than me? Have you forgotten that me is the Qing Dynasty..."

Before Princess Gu Lun finished speaking, she heard a "clang", which seemed to be the sound of a sword being unsheathed, and turned her head subconsciously.

At this moment, she suddenly felt a pain in her chest, and when she looked down, she saw a knife stuck in her chest.And the person holding this knife is Aohan Bandi.

Immediately, an inconceivable expression appeared on her face, she looked up at Aohan Bandi's blood-red eyes, wanted to say something, but couldn't speak, and fell slowly to the ground.

"Emother..."

Seeing her two sons, they couldn't help being frightened, shouting loudly and rushing over.

The surrounding guards were dumbfounded watching this scene, not knowing why the patriarch wanted to kill Princess Gu Lun.

But at this time, Aohan Bandi "swiped" twice and killed his two sons.

The reflection of Princess Gu Lun before she died finally gave her a sigh of relief and asked, "Why...why?"

 Thanks for the reward of Starry Sky H Nocturne!
