Chapter 1190: Surrender and Peace

The Selenga River originates from the northern slope of the Hangai Mountains, is the largest river with the most abundant water on the Mongolian Plateau, with a total length of about 1,500 kilometers, all the way to the northeast, and finally flows into the fishing sea, which is now Lake Baikal in Russia, however, during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Baikal region is not the territory of Tsarist Russia, and the Mongolian tribe that lives here is called Buriyati, which originally belonged to Warat, and later split from Warat to become an independent tribe.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the powerful Tsarist Russia began to move south, constantly encroaching on the Mongolian region, until the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Baigahu region was completely occupied by the Tsarist Russia, and the Buriyati tribe also succumbed to the force of Tsarist Russia and surrendered completely.

The water volume of the Selenga River is large, the water and soil on both sides are fertile, it is the mother river of Mongolia, the fishing sea is the deepest in the world, the largest freshwater lake on the Eurasian continent, the lake is rich in water and grass, it is a natural excellent pasture.

The Selenga River will be frozen around October every year, and will not thaw until April and May of the following year, the ice period is as long as half a year, and now it is the beginning of the fifth lunar month, the Selenga River has already thawed, the river surface is wide, the clear river water flows northward, and the vegetation on both sides of the river is vibrant.

At this moment, Xu Jin was standing on the bank of the Selenge River with his hands behind his back, his Confucian shirt fluttering, his sword eyebrows were sharp, and under the bright sunlight, he looked even more red and white, handsome and extraordinary, even Isana couldn't help muttering a little white face in her heart.

At this time, standing behind Xu Jin, in addition to Yisana, there were also Wang Lin'er, Xue Bingxin, Cen Lan and other generals. Since yesterday defeated Weng Guochu's 80,000 Warat army in one fell swoop, the main force of the Ming army has been stationed on the territory of the Hui Special Department, and only the cavalry has been sent to continue to pursue the escaped Weng Guo Chu and others.

Xu Jin quietly stared at the magnificent river, and his thoughts had drifted along the winding river to Lake Baikal, which was 1,500 kilometers away.

Not to mention the fertile and vast pastures on the shore of Lake Baikal, this lake alone is a priceless treasure, in the arid Mongolian plateau, how precious water is, and Lake Baikal is the largest freshwater lake on the Eurasian continent, with a length of more than 600 kilometers and a width of 50 kilometers (which is a lake, it is simply a vast ocean), and its abundant water content can be imagined, not to mention that there is an inexhaustible supply of aquatic products.

Such a priceless treasure is better to strike first than to cheapen Tsarist Russia in the future, not to mention that seizing this water source and pasture is also of great significance to the development of the economy of the Tatar region in the future.

At this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves interrupted Xu Jin's thinking, and all the generals subconsciously turned their heads to look, only to see a scout riding a horse nearby, one fell off the horse, ran to Xu Jin in three steps and two steps, knelt down on one knee and saluted, and said loudly: "Dashuai, this is an urgent report from Vice General Xie to you, please take a look." ”

Xu Jin hurriedly took the letter and opened it, his face instantly showed joy, and then he laughed happily, and said continuously: "Okay, good!" ”

Xue Bingxin's eyes couldn't help but light up, a pair of beautiful eyes looked at Xu Jin inquiringly, and the generals were also overjoyed when they heard this, and Isana couldn't help asking: "Dare to ask Grandpa Yasukuni, but Vice General Xie caught me answering?" ”

Isana's main concern now is that I answer, first, because the revenge of killing my father and killing my brother is not the same as the sky, and second, as long as I answer the head, the great emperor will no longer be able to continue to detain Mentu, and he must be released back to Tatar to inherit the throne.

But seeing Xu Jin shook his head and replied, "I have escaped, and Pei Xingjin's general soldiers are chasing him." ”

Isana couldn't help but be disappointed, and said unhappily: "Then why is Grandpa Yasukuni so happy?" ”

Xu Jin smiled and said: "Although I have escaped, Weng Guochu has been completely annihilated by our army, and he himself has been awarded the head, isn't it worth being happy?" ”

Isana couldn't help but be secretly surprised, Weng Guochu was the leader of the alliance of Warat, and he was killed by the Ming army so easily, what a ...... What bad luck!

(This is really unlucky, the dignified leader of the Warat Alliance, who is also a BOSS-level centaur at the end of the year, and he received a boxed lunch not long after he appeared.) )

I only heard Xu Jin say lightly: "In addition, the Warajuros Department and the Durbo Department have already arrived near Yanran Mountain with 70,000 horsemen. ”

The generals were not surprised when they heard this, and Jing Dachu said even more vigorously: "It's a good time, it's just cleaned up together, and the entire Warat will be our Daming in the future." ”

It is said that Jing Dachu led 20,000 Xuanfu troops to block Batai for an hour that night, and then when retreating, the entire Xuanfu army was scattered, fortunately, Batai's target at that time was Xu Jin, and after defeating the Xuanfu army, he did not continue to pursue and kill, but directly took Yuan Shangdu.

Because of this, although the Xuanfu army was defeated, only four or five thousand were killed or wounded, and later more than 15,000 people were re-gathered, of which more than 2,000 were lightly wounded and only more than 300 were seriously wounded.

Afterwards, although Xu Jin reprimanded Jing Dachu, he did not punish him, after all, he was considered to have completed the task of delaying time, so he regarded it as making up for his merits and continued to remain in the post of Xuanfu General Army, and yesterday in a battle with the Wara Army, the performance of the Xuanfu Army was not bad, and the whole army was beheaded more than 4,000 levels.

Because of this, now the Xuanfu army is full of fighting spirit, and they are all ready to make persistent efforts, including Jing Dachu, the chief soldier who has always been a Buddhist, is looking forward to making new contributions.

Xu Jin glanced at Jing Dachu and said with a smile: "I'm afraid there is no chance, the leader of the Ross Clan, Sanhad, has already contacted Vice General Xie and expressed his willingness to surrender to my Daming, if Ben Shuai agrees, he will personally come to talk to Ben Shuai about surrendering to Da Ming." ”

Although the generals were a little disappointed when they heard this, they were still mostly happy, after all, it was always good that there was no need to go to war, and that more brothers could return home alive and triumphantly.

Cen Lan said with a smile: "This Sanhad is a person who knows the times, and the marshal decided to negotiate peace?" ”

Xu Jin smiled and nodded, talk, of course we talked, anyway, the Ming Dynasty does not have the ability to annex Tatar and Warat at the same time for the time being, and can maximize the benefits through peaceful means, without wasting a single soldier, why not?

What's more, after slaughtering Weng Guochu, the anger of the generals and soldiers has also come out, and the prestige of the Ming Dynasty has also been established, negotiation is the best choice!

"Go, tell Vice General Xie that Ben Shuai agrees to peace talks, and find a place to meet with Sanhad at the foot of Yanran Mountain." Xu Jin waved his hand and commanded.

The scout gave the order, and immediately rode away again.

Xue Bingxin glanced at Xu Jin happily, she had been worried that she would fall into a protracted battle in Warat, and she didn't want to turn around, so she should be able to return to Beijing to see the fire before the end of the year in the future, and now she almost grabbed me, I hope everything goes well.
