Chapter 683 Northwest Victory, King Khan Sighs

"So where is the native of Qinghai? Which Taiji, which nobleman is under the tent?"

"Who are there in the family?"

"What do you do? Farming, herding sheep, caring for cattle and horses, riding horses and shooting archery are all counted."

"What are your plans in the future? Farming, grazing, doing business or joining the army? Working is also an option."

“···”

Wang Xianwen asked Doji one by one according to the established procedures, recorded his relevant information, and established his archives on the spot.

Duojidu answered honestly and cooperated well, giving Wang Xianwen a good start to work today.

It is not easy to register the prisoners and establish files. It is logical that military officials like Wang Xianwen should not do it.

However, there are too few people in the Northwest Army who can do this work now - although the court recruited qualified officials and volunteers in other provinces while issuing political decrees, it takes time for those people to come.

However, the superiors did not want to slow down the recovery of Qinghai due to the lack of political workers. They took the initiative to take over for a while and do the relevant work.

Before Duoji had finished registering, many other Qinghai soldiers and prisoners came to wait for registration, as if they were afraid that the registration would be less beneficial if they were late.

If it weren't for the ten days that they had to queue up for everything they did, they would probably have surrounded Wang Xianwen and the small table at this time.

But now, under the supervision of the Ming soldiers around him, he consciously lined up.

More than two hours have passed since Wang Xianwen completed the registration work of this prisoner camp.

Not everyone believed in Wang Xianwen's political propaganda without reservation. There were more than 30 people in this camp who did not register on the spot for various reasons, but chose to wait and see.

This was not a forced matter, so Wang Xianwen, who had registered sixty or seventy people, left with satisfaction.

Now in the Hehuang area (east of Qinghai), the Ming Dynasty established two hundred prisoner camps to resettle the prisoners obtained from previous major victories.

If sixty or seventy people in each prisoner camp chose to surrender to the Ming Dynasty on the spot, then after the political publicity and registration work of these prisoner camps were completed, the Ming Dynasty would receive more than 10,000 Qinghai soldiers (people).

Although only a minority of the surrendered Qinghai soldiers and prisoners chose to continue to join the army, it should be enough to form a battalion of Qinghai garrisons first.

Those Qinghai people who are unwilling to join the army will be released after participating in many political studies and trainings.

These people also helped the Ming Dynasty collect and govern Qinghai, and sometimes they may play a bigger role than those who joined the army...

For more than half a month from late September to early October, the Ming army in the northwest had been doing ideological work on captives of Qinghai soldiers.

By October 10, more than 18,000 people had chosen to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.

More than 5,000 of them chose to join the army, which happened to allow the Military Council to add some officers to form two battalions of Qinghai garrisons.

The remaining more than 10,000 people also changed their senses and ideas about the Ming Dynasty because of their political and ideological work that exceeded the times, and even a group of hard-core loyalists appeared.

During this period, the northwest of Gansu also achieved great victory that was enough to determine the situation of the battle.

This time, Eziertu contacted a group of small Oirat tribes close to the Heshuote tribes and a few Mongolian tribes, forming a coalition of nearly 50,000 people, divided into three tribes to break through the northern border wall of Gansu.

As a result, they were all defeated one by one by the Ming army, which took the initiative to attack.

Among them, more than 20,000 troops led by Eziertu were even led by Li Guo, the 15th town of the border guards, the Shaanxi garrison town and the 2nd Battalion of the Imperial Guards (Caval Town),

Fighting again and defeated.

Even Eziertu himself was killed by soldiers from the Imperial Guard Cavalry Town when he was fleeing.

In the end, the Ming army killed more than 6,000 people on the spot in this battle and captured more than 10,000 people. Only more than 5,000 Oirats escaped from the battlefield.

More than 12,000 war horses, hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep were seized, and the rest of the baggage was incalculable.

As for defeating the other two games, although they are not considered a great victory, they also won a lot.

A total of nearly 10,000 prisoners were captured on both sides, more than 7,000 war horses and nearly 100,000 cattle and sheep were seized!

When the news reached Nanjing, the court sent riders to spread the victory to all directions that day, and the people were all happy!

It's also October 10th.

Gushikhan Tulubaihu (subject name: Borjijin), who was in charge of Shigatse, received news that his sons had been in Qinghai and were successively revealed to the Ming army.



It’s not that the news of the Bataiji in Qinghai spreads slowly, but that the news of the Ming army spreads too quickly.

From the Qinghai and Gansu border wars in mid-September, it has only been half a month since the defeat of the three Dorji brothers in Haiyan.

The east of Qinghai is thousands of miles away from Shigatse, and there are many mountains, snow, and the road is difficult. The Khanate of the Hokkim has no mature station system. It is already fast for the news from the east of Qinghai to reach Shigatse in most of the month.

.

In the Khan's golden tent.

Tulubaihu, who was already sixty-seven years old, looked at the battle report in his hand or asked for help, and his gray brows frowned.

There was an unbelievable look in his eyes.

He was not unaware of the power of the Ming Dynasty, but he did not expect that the Ming Dynasty could easily destroy more than half of his soldiers and horses in Qinghai with just some of his troops, including the three thousand elite soldiers of the Dangxiong Eight Banners he sent.

Thinking about the several war reports from both the Yunnan-Tibet border today, Tulubaihu couldn't help but recall his considerations when he decided to jointly invade the Ming Dynasty with his nephew Eziertu last year.

I can't help but wonder if his thinking was wrong at that time.

As the Khan of the Khanate who established the Khanate Khanate, of course, he would not decide to be an enemy of the Ming Dynasty in order to resolve his personal grievances for his nephew. Instead, in his consideration, the Khanate Khanate and the Ming Dynasty must have a battle to stabilize it.

The family rule in Qinghai-Tibet.

Although the Khanate ruled Tibet, Qinghai, Xikang and some areas of Gansu, the tax revenue of the former Tibet and the latter Tibet (the essence of Tibet) had long been given to the Huang Cult.

Among the remaining territory, Qinghai was the foundation of his rule, but the ones that provided the Khanate with the most wealth were Xikang and the Hehuang Valley in Gansu.

Among them, the Xikang area actually involved western Sichuan, so the Khanate had a dispute with the Ming Dynasty in Xikang.

As for the Hehuang Valley in Gansu, it is a rare fertile land on the edge of Qinghai-Tibet. It has rich minerals and trees, which are quite rich.

Shortly after he took over Qinghai, he took the Hehuang Valley into his pocket. However, about two years ago, the Ming army gradually recovered the Hehuang Valley, which reduced the Khanate a large source of financial and taxation.

Therefore, he either shrinks his power, hides in the hinterland of Qinghai-Tibet, and bows to the Ming Dynasty; or he takes advantage of the Ming Dynasty's failure to truly become stronger, defeat him for a few battles, and then obtains the Hehuang Valley and the western Sichuan border through negotiations

formal rule.

As for whether he was surrendering to the Ming Dynasty or a country of friendship or neighbors at that time, it was nothing.

Tulubaihu only needs to be a silence and doesn’t care much about face. If the Ming Dynasty wants it, it will be given to him.

Moreover, on this land, it is actually not embarrassing whether it is a vassal of the Ming Dynasty or a vassal to it.

Thinking about it now, what he expected at that time was probably because he did not expect that the Ming Dynasty had the ability to fight a major battle in the northwest after 20 or 30 years of war.

I didn't expect that the Ming army was so powerful in combat.

"Oh~"

Sighing and touching the bald head, Turubaihu said to the servant beside him: "Send someone to invite Diba, and say I have something important to discuss with him."

Most of the official titles of the Khanate of the Hoshuot Khanate were passed down from the Phazhu Dynasty, and Diba was one of the important official positions.
