Chapter 1166 Surrender

On the top of the city of Ningxia Town, Zu Dashou and others were still quite nervous, but they were a little surprised when they saw a cavalry rushing towards him with a white flag.

The captain of the Military Intelligence Department took a telescope to observe, constantly integrating the information from the big basket, came to Zu Dashou and said hesitantly: "Sir, there are dozens of miles in a radius, there are no Oirats, only Jiannu, and the Jiannu people are not all cavalry, both old, weak, women and children. They even threw away their weapons on their own initiative. Things are not right..."

Zu Dashou put down his telescope, his expression remained motionless, and looked at the Jiannu man running over and said, "Use a hanging basket."

"Yes." A soldier responded and quickly made arrangements.

Ningxia City is still waiting for battle, with the muzzles raised high, and torches pounding, ten thousand people are still moving, waiting for the enemy to attack.

Soon, the Jurzhen Gushan Ezhen went to the city and was escorted to Zu Dashou.

He knelt on the ground and said, "General Zu, in my arms, I have my handwritten letter to His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, and my handwritten letter to you by my Prime Minister Turta."

Zu Dashou did not move, looked directly at him and said, "What are you going to do?"

Gushan's eyes were filled with tears, and he choked sadly: "I, my khan passed away, the Mongolians can't tolerate us, we... want to go home."

Zu Dashou opened his eyes and said, "Is Huang Taiji dead?"

Gu Shanzhen gritted his teeth and said, "Yes."

Zu Dashou looked at him and nodded for a moment.

A soldier stepped forward, took out two letters from Gushan's Ezhen's arms, checked them, and handed them to Zu Dashou.

The first letter reads: His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxu personally opened it.

In Fangzheng Kai style, every word seems to run through the back of the paper, tough and domineering.

Zu Dashou looked around and looked around, but did not take it apart, and handed it to the Military Information Department. He took what Turta gave him, and it was written in awkward Chinese characters: General Zu Dashou personally opened it.

Zu Dashou glanced at him and then opened it.

Turta said a lot in the letter, their experience in Junggar, Huang Taiji died of illness, and that he also expressed his surrender, hoping that the Ming Dynasty would not be able to take grudges and let them "go home".

Zu Dashou looked at the letter and his expression that had not moved changed a little.

How powerful was the Great Jin Kingdom back then? Starting from Nurhaci, the Ming Dynasty had more defeats and fewer victory. It can be said that the Great Jin Kingdom was as powerful as the Ming Dynasty at that time, and the Ming Dynasty gradually became at a disadvantage.

The demise of the Jin Kingdom can be said to be quite sudden, for Jiannu and for the Ming Dynasty.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty, inside and outside the capital, even the military, including Sun Chengzong and others, did not expect that until the demise of the Jin Dynasty, they would slowly accept it in shock.

After a failure, the Jin Kingdom failed step by step, and was taken advantage of the Ming Dynasty, and gradually eroded and destroyed.

This speed of destruction is much faster than that of their rise. Looking back, it also seems very abrupt, in just two or three years.

You know, the Jin Kingdom was in an offensive position at that time, and the Ming Dynasty was passively defending, and it was reversible. It seemed that suddenly, no one expected the time to be prepared.

All this is naturally attributed to the Emperor who hides his strength, keeps his low profile and is far-sighted.

Zu Dashou had been fighting in Liaodong for countless times and knew the most about the power of the Jin Kingdom. But now he looked at Gushan Ejin kneeling on the ground and the letter in his hand, and for a moment he was a little dazed.

After a while, the general beside him coughed before he came to his senses.

Zu Dashou walked to the edge of the city, looked at the 20,000 to 30,000 Jiannu people not far away, and looked into the distance, and there was a vast area without Mongolian cavalry.

He glanced at the others and asked.

Several deputy generals, commanders and others were very eager to win without a fight, and they were a great achievement!

But the Jiannu people are very sensitive, especially Huang Taiji. If they do not ask the court for rash treatment, they will probably be settled by the Qiu Hou.

The captain of the Military Intelligence Department was silent for a moment and said, "Sir, the official thought that he could accept it and talk about it before he could ask the Grand Commander of Qin and write a letter to the emperor and the court at the same time."

Qin Liangyu is the chief commander of the Western Theater Command, in charge of all military affairs.

When the others heard this, they nodded and said, "Sir, this is a solution. As long as you take care of the detention and quarantine and surveillance, I believe there will be no problem."

Zu Dashou looked at Gushan Ezhen, his eyes flashed, and said, "Okay, I will allow you to enter the pass, but everything must be followed by this arrangement. Also, I cannot make the decision of the specific handling. Do you understand if the emperor and the court decide?"

This means that Jiannu’s 20,000 to 30,000 is still uncertain about his life and death, but once he enters the pass, if the Ming Dynasty does not agree, it will be dead!

Gu Shan'er obviously got enough instructions and said directly: "Okay, I understand, we agree."

Zu Dashou's face moved again, then nodded lightly, saying, "Okay, go back, tell Turta and listen to our arrangements."

"Yes." Gu Shan's face was full of sad smiles, and there was no other way. He agreed and was escorted and sent down to the city with a hanging basket.

After he left, a deputy general said, "Sir, they agreed so happily. Will there be a conspiracy to cooperate with each other inside and outside?"

Another deputy general said: "The general doesn't think it's like this. These Jiannu people are probably desperate. Once Huang Taiji dies, Junggar's final love for Jiannu is gone. He will definitely eat them. They must know it."

Zu Dashou waved his hand and said, "No matter whether they have any conspiracy or not, these Jiannu people must be brought in and cannot be left to the Oirat."

Everyone understood it in an instant, without saying anything more, and looked at the Jiannu people led by Turta, with different expressions and their own thoughts.

Turta felt relieved when he listened to Zu Dashou's request. Although what Zu Dashou said seemed harsh, it was actually what he meant and was not surprising.

Turta looked at the carriage not far behind him. Huang Taiji's body had already smelled, and he needed to be buried as soon as possible.

‘Khan, I will definitely take you home.’ Turta said silently in his heart.

Zu Dashou quickly opened the city gate, and teams of cavalry rushed out, guarding while guarding.

The Ming army was on high alert and guarded the enemy with great courage, not daring to give Turta a chance.

Turta did not do anything, and obeyed everything, but made a request to Zu Dashou to bury Huang Taiji reasonably.

Zu Dashou agreed, cautiously guarding the detention, and at the same time waiting for the will of Qin Liangyu and the capital.

Just as the Jiannu people entered the city, a large group of cavalry appeared in the Ming Dynasty.

Zu Dashou and others were shocked, and while strictly guarding the Jiannu people such as Turta, they went up to the city and stared at the cavalry running from afar.

However, this group of Mongolian cavalry did not get too close. After observing from a distance, they quickly turned around and disappeared from the Ming Dynasty's surveillance range.

"Sir, I am a member of Junggar." The captain of the MIIS and Zu Dashou said.

Zu Dashou nodded silently and said for a moment: "If you are not my race, your heart will be different. These Mongolians' hearts that I will perish and I will not die, and you cannot relax at all!"

A deputy general continued: "The last general believes that the emperor's strategy is correct, temporarily suppress them, stabilize the border, concentrate on energy, financial and material resources to rectify the internal affairs. When our Ming Dynasty recovers, we will deal with them in one fell swoop, completely resolve the disaster, and give future generations a thousand-year peaceful era!"

Everyone nodded. This was in the military training manual, and everyone had to read and memorize it.

Zu Dashou did not say anything else, his face was solemn, and he said, "Supervising day and night, you must not stop at all. The Jiannu people cannot relax. The letter from the Grand Chief Qin told me the first time."

"Yes." A group of people answered.

Although the Turtas were locked up in prison camps, they were treated well and had no place to wait except freedom.

There were not no complaints or other thoughts among them, but they were all suppressed by Turta, and coupled with the strict surveillance of the Ming Dynasty, nothing happened.

The first person to receive the letter was Qin Liangyu in Sichuan. She wrote the memorial and sent it to Beijing together with Zu Dashou's memorial and wrote a secret letter to Zhu Xu.

And she herself rushed to Ningxia Town that day.

She knew that Huang Taiji had always been Zhu Xu, a heart-wrenching illness in the Ming Dynasty. Now that Huang Taiji is dead, the rest of his people are coming to surrender, which is a big deal!

It indicates the complete demise of the so-called Jin Kingdom and marks the complete end of the Ming Dynasty's counter-rebellion war against Liaodong, which is of great significance!

Zhu Xu in the capital was holding an enlarged meeting with the cabinet to discuss this year's summer harvest and taxes and other matters. When he saw the Feige sent by Cao Huachun, the tenderloin shouted out Sun Chengzong and came to his third-floor class room.

Sun Chengzong was also quite surprised by the news. Looking at Zu Dashou and the letter from the Military Intelligence Department, he repeatedly pondered it for a while, and said: "Emperor, Huang Taiji is ambitious, ambitious, capable, and strategy. Only the emperor can suppress him in this world. Even if he dies, I am worried that he will attack him at the death. Zu Dashou will take people into the city without authorization. I am worried that there will be variables in Ningxia Town."

Zhu Xu sat on the chair, took a sip of tea, raised his hand and signaled Cao Huachun to move the chair for Sun Chengzong and put the tea in, and he was still thinking freely.

In history, Huang Taiji did die near this time. If it is said that the bombing will probably not work, will he have the strongest blow before his death?

If this is true, Ningxia Town may be in danger.

Ningxia Town is an important town that blocks the desert and western Mongolia. If the gap is opened here, Sichuan, Shaanxi and other places will be flat.

The imperial court was in military reform, and the troops were relatively scattered everywhere. If a large army suddenly rushed in, it would be like wolves entering the flock of sheep.

Zhu Xu put down the teacup, looked calm, and slowly tapped his fingers on the table, and suddenly said, "This matter may not be as bad as the old master expected. Zu Dashou is not a reckless person, and Junggar or Ola do not have the courage to provoke my Ming Dynasty. Since Qin Liangyu has gone, let's wait for peace of mind."

Sun Chengzong listened, his expression gradually relaxed, leaned slightly, and said, "What the emperor said is, just wait for the letter from the Grand Commander Qin. On the other hand, if this matter is true, for me, Daming, it has indeed eliminated a piece of heart disease. The land of Liaodong will be no longer threatened."

Zhu Xu nodded with a smile. If Huang Taiji died, he would be much more relaxed. His fingers were still tapping the tabletop freely, and he said for a moment: "Don't rumor this matter in advance, and don't inform the cabinet. The General's Mansion is also strictly confidential. We are patient and wait."

Sun Chengzong naturally understood and said, "Yes. Emperor, if this matter is true, what are the plans of these 20,000 or 30,000 Jiannu people?"

In fact, the best place for the Jiannu people is naturally Nan'annan, and they are handed over to Dorgon to let all these Jiannu people be together.

But Dorgon now has a 50,000 army. If there are 20,000 or 30,000 people, there may be some secrets. It is easy to gather a 100,000 army!

One hundred thousand, this is no longer a brother-in-law, and it is enough to pose a huge threat to the Ming Dynasty! Especially in the south, Bei'annan is almost unprepared, and then to Yunnan, a large area is simply a place without a man. If Dorgon really rebelled, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Zhu Xu naturally understood what Sun Chengzong meant and said with a smile: "Gei Master, don't think I don't know, is your general's mansion instigating Siam and Dorgon to let them go to war?"

Sun Chengzong was stunned, then coughed and said, "Emperor, Siam is a big shot, and it is beyond my expectations, but I did not do it when I say so. Whether it is Dorgon or Siam, they are all ambitious. It is only a matter of war, or it is inevitable that I will instigate you."

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Since you said there was no, I will pretend that it was not. Dorgon's strength is still a little weak, so I will give these people to him. There is no need to worry about anything, I know what to do."

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Xu and saw that he looked confident and knew that Zhu Xu had certain arrangements, so he didn't say much.
