Chongzhen Chat Group

One day later, all the generals who attacked returned to the governor's camp to report their merits to Hong Chengchou, including how many people they had killed, how many cattle, horses and sheep they had captured, etc. There was a secretary nearby to record their achievements.

Before, the reason why the Tumut tribe was ordered to be exterminated was to establish its prestige and deter other tribes. Those who dared to offend the Ming Dynasty would hunt down the Ming Dynasty messengers. This was an example!

Secondly, the Ming Dynasty was also poor, especially those under the name of the naturalized governor. If it were not for the support within the customs, it is estimated that not many people would survive until next year. This time another major war is launched, the food consumption will inevitably double, and the burden on Guihua City will be even heavier. If you cannot support war with war and seize the cattle and sheep of the Tumut tribe for your own use, then although the war can achieve the goal you want politically, it will suffer a huge loss economically.

Therefore, the only feasible option was to slaughter the Tumochuan tribe and seize their cattle, horses and sheep.

Listening to the generals queuing up to report the results of the battle, Hong Chengchou was calculating in his mind whether to make a profit or not! Fortunately, as a reward after the war, the court did not need to show up with silver. In addition to official positions, part of the cultivated land in the Hetao map could be allocated to reward meritorious soldiers. Otherwise, even if the battle is won, the court will still be in mourning!

Early the next morning after all the generals returned to the camp, Hong Chengchou discussed matters in the central military tent. But this time, there were only two people in the tent, one civil and one military. The military commander was Li Guo, a guerrilla, and the civil servant was a staff member of the former governor of Baotou, who had previously served as an envoy to various Mongolian tribes in the west.

Hong Chengchou said solemnly to the two of them: "This time I, the Ming Dynasty, destroyed the Tumochuan tribe with the power of thunder. It will definitely shock the surrounding tribes, especially the two tribes that had a close relationship with Bu Shitu before. This time you If I go on an envoy again, I will not go to these two tribes, but go directly to the Zhungeer tribe and the Heshuote tribe."

At this point, he paused for a moment and said solemnly: "After we go there, there is no need to talk about the border market anymore. I just told them that the fortune telling rabbit did not appreciate my kindness, but instead had ulterior motives to pursue me. Messenger, the Emperor is so furious that he has exterminated the Tumochuan tribe. This matter is only for the Tumochuan tribe, and there is no other intention. It would be a misunderstanding, so I went here to inform you."

"I understand, I understand!" Ban responded with a nod. His ancestor was the famous Ban Chao. His branch had lived in the west for generations and was relatively proficient in the affairs of the Western Regions. Therefore, he was recommended by Yang He to Yang Sichang's side and was transferred here by Hong Chengchou this time.

Originally, his parents' expectation for him was that he would one day be selected as a Jinshi by the emperor in the Jinluan Palace, so his name was named in Braille. It's just a pity that no matter how hard he studies, he will always be a scholar. Now, due to a strange combination of circumstances, he has embarked on the diplomatic career that his ancestors are famous for through the ages.

Hong Chengchou looked into his eyes, a little worried, and warned again: "Although our Ming Dynasty is still unable to deal with these Mongolian tribes in the west, we are not afraid of them. Are you sure about the appropriateness in treating them?"

"Don't worry, Lord Governor, our humble ancestor is the Dingyuan Marquis of the Han Dynasty, and we will never bring shame to our ancestors!" Ban Dian said with force and confidence.

The last time he was on an mission, he was aware of it early and was able to escape back. It can be said that the level of observation and observation during missions is quite good.

Hong Chengchou nodded after hearing this, and finally showed a smile: "Okay, then I will be waiting for your good news!"

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Li Guo and said to him: "You are appointed by the emperor, so you will escort him. I don't need to repeat the task that the emperor has entrusted to you, right?"

"Don't worry, Governor, we will save you!" Li Guo immediately clasped his fists and said loudly.

The emperor had explained the situation to him in the chat group and asked him to use this opportunity of escorting the messenger westward to observe the situation along the way. If necessary, he could apply for achievement points from the emperor and take photos. Photos serve as records.

As for why he did this, although the emperor didn't say it, Li Guo could vaguely guess it. It is very likely that after the emperor pacified Liaodong, he would also use troops in the Western Regions! And this will be his chance to escape!

Li Guo had many contacts with the current emperor in the chat group, so he naturally knew him better than others. He knew that the emperor had great ambitions and wanted to revive the Ming Dynasty. From ancient times to the present, whenever the Central Plains dynasty is at its peak and powerful, it will inevitably turn its attention to the Western Regions.

It was also for this reason that Li Guo was very motivated for this escort mission. When he came over, he had already selected five hundred elite cavalry from his subordinates.

After Hong Chengchou finished his explanation, Li Guo escorted the squad to set off. Later, Hong Chengchou also led the army back to Huacheng in triumph.

There is nothing we can do about this. If the army stays in the west for one more day, there will be more uncertainty. The most important thing is that there will be one more day of food consumption. Winter is coming soon, so you have to go home and spend the winter!

On the side of the Torhut tribe, Orlek and Orlek have been busy since they sent their personal guards to send away the two Mongolians who escaped to report the news, and also sent away the tribal leaders who were close to them.

There are nearly 70,000 people in the Torgut tribe scattered on the grassland. In order to make an alliance with Shitu, he has to mobilize troops and select elites. Those who should stay and those who should march eastward need to pay attention to the camp. What, he has to worry about all these things.

On this day, while he was busy with these things, a leader of the Dulbert tribe who was closest to him came over.

This man was very excited, and smiled and told Orlek the good news: "Our Great Khan is very interested in the proposal of the Divination Rabbit. He has asked for our opinions, and most of them have agreed to the Eastern Expedition. This No, I have already made arrangements for the Eastern Expedition and mobilized all the elites!"

"Haha, I'm almost done here." He and Orlek also said with a smile, "We'll just wait for the news from Divination Stone Rabbit, and then we will send troops together."

At this point, he remembered that incident and continued: "By the way, is there any news from Bu Shitu? Isn't it that the Ming Dynasty is preparing to attack him? How is he going to deal with it? I haven't seen him in the past few days. What message has been sent to you?"

The leader heard this and was about to answer when he heard rapid footsteps coming from outside. Before they could react, they saw the curtain lifted and two people broke into the tent in embarrassment. At the same time, he was still shouting: "Sweat profusely, it's not good, it's not good..."

He and Orlek took a closer look and recognized two of the personal guards escorting the two Mongolians to Shitu. They couldn't help but frown and immediately asked: "What happened?"

Thanks to the ancient thunder god Yang Yongxin, fendyu, and the frog for eating egg tarts!
