When disasters in various parts of the grassland were frequent, there were many military disasters, and life was in dire straits, Yang Zhen, the initiator of such a situation, was not idle.

As Yang Zhen, who was ordered to inspect the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, of course, could not stay in Datong all the time, when he was sure that there was no threat here, and at the same time dealt with Guo Rong, a criminal minister, Yang Zhen immediately set off and rushed to the next border city - Xuanfu.

After having everything that happened in Datong, the officials and generals of the Xuanfu became more respectful to Yang Zhen. If they had only heard of it before, and were only worried about its identity, after learning about his actions in Datong, especially the thunderbolt method of eradicating Guo Rong, the people of Xuanfu were only left with awe of Yang Zhen.

is still the same sentence, after all, there is no great chaos in the world today, and the prestige of the imperial court is still there, and it cannot be offset by a few officials or generals. In the face of the Lord Qincha who came by order, these local officials could only obediently obey the order.

And this time, Yang Zhen's way of dealing with those criminals who broke the law and caused the border army to be corrupted was different from that of Zaida. In Datong, he only took Guo Rong and a few cronies who were most closely related to him, but when he arrived at the Xuan Mansion, he dealt with it in the opposite way.

Liang Sidu, the general soldier of the Xuanfu Army, who was obviously not much different from Guo Rong's crime, was originally worried about this, and even planned for the worst, gathering some hardcore subordinates to make a last-ditch fight. Unexpectedly, Yang Zhen was quite polite to him, not only did he not mean to ask him for guilt, but he praised and comforted him very much.

In this regard, Liang Sidu was both happy and a little vigilant, because he didn't know if this was Yang Zhen's delaying tactic. But soon, his doubts were dispelled, because on the night of arriving at Xuanfu, Yang Zhen called the chief soldier over for a secret talk.

As a result of this secret conversation, in the next few days, Liang Sidu personally ordered the arrest of dozens of generals in the city who were seriously corrupt in military salaries and even had dealings with Mongolians.

Although many people in the army in the city knew that Liang Sidu was the backer of these people who dared to act so recklessly, under the prestige he had accumulated over the years, and Yang Zhen did not make any statement, as a result, this matter was only circulated in private for a long time, and no one mentioned it again.

Subsequently, Yang Zhen summoned all the soldiers of the Xuanfu to give a lecture, and after showing all the heads of the more than ten generals to the public, he gave an explanation to the imperial court.

Although this may not really cure the unhealthy tendencies in the border army today, it is enough to deter those who are greedy. Even Liang Sidu, when he saw the head of the subordinate he had entrusted with the important task before being hung high above the gate, he really felt a chill.

Then, Yang Zhen struck while the iron was hot, and asked Xuanfu to dispatch an elite cavalry of 5,000 people to fight into the grassland like the Datong army to do the greatest destruction. In this regard, neither a general like Liang Sidu nor the soldiers under him dared to raise any objections, and quickly acted accordingly.

And this is tantamount to adding insult to injury to the already panicked and devastated Mongolian tribes.

Of course, like those saint apprentices in Datong, the officials of the Xuanfu were still stunned when they heard Yang Zhen's demagogic decisions to preach the murder of Mongolians, regardless of women, children, and children, and they quickly wrote letters or sent them to Beijing.

Yang Zhen didn't take this seriously. After Xuanfu sent 5,000 men and horses deep into the grassland, he did not stay here for long, and set off again and rushed to the next border town.

In this way, in the entire first half of the twelfth year of Wanli, Yang Zhen has been going back and forth to the nine-sided towns such as Daming Ji, Liaoxuanda, etc., on the one hand, he has dealt with many generals or officials who have embezzled military salaries and forcibly occupied military fields, and on the other hand, he has continuously sent elite soldiers to the grassland, killing the entire Mongolian steppe to the point of rolling blood and flowing rivers.

According to the relevant historical records of later generations, after this great chaos, in only half a year, the damage to all parts of the grassland was far greater than the casualties of Chengzu Zhu Di during several northern expeditions. Compared with this, Cheng Zu's own damage and investment were dozens of times that of this incident.

In the face of these ever-increasing and ruthless enemies, once attacked, the entire tribe would be razed to the ground, and the Mongol tribes finally collapsed completely.

Originally, they thought that they were the only ones to invade the Central Plains, and regarded the people of the Central Plains as prey, and killing people was just a way of life for them. But now, when it really happened to them, they realized how horrible it was to be slaughtered and wiped out.

And what's even more terrifying is that because the distance between the various departments is too far, it is difficult to even take care of each other, so they can only live in fear until one day they become the ghosts of the Han people who were suddenly killed.

Under such circumstances, the Mongols finally could not bear it anymore and began to migrate one after another, heading towards the depths of the steppe. In the end, in order to ensure their own safety, they would rather be overstretched in grazing than dare to live alone in the open grassland.

As the most powerful existence among the grassland tribes, the Gai Qi tribe has become the protector of many large and small tribes. After the beginning of summer, there are no less than 20 large and small tribes taking refuge around the Gaiqi tribe, forming a rare scene of stars and moons on the grassland.

But as a result, these tribes, including the Gai beggars, have fallen into some difficulties in their lives. Even in summer, when water and grass are abundant, it is difficult for herders to find ideal pastures for cattle, sheep and horses to graze nearby, which kills many livestock.

And in such hot weather, all kinds of plagues are the most likely to be prevalent. Because of a lack of timely treatment, the plague spread among these tribes, which caused a large number of livestock to fall completely, and even many people were infected and sick.

For all the tribes of the grassland, cattle, sheep and livestock are their wealth, and now there is a continuous death of diseases, which naturally causes great harm to the herdsmen. The other ministries, because they need to be sheltered by the beggar tribe, can still hold on, but the people of the beggar ministry can't stand it.

Soon, there was constant friction between the people of the Gai beggar tribe and the people of the various tribes who defected, and the two sides fought several battles, causing dozens of casualties. Soon after, the people in the ministry kept complaining to Mutu, begging him to drive these guys away quickly.

In the face of such a surging public opinion, Mutu did not know what to do. Of course, he knew that this was not the way to go, but he was more aware of the situation that the various ministries were facing, and if they were driven out at this time, he was afraid that the prestige he had built up with great difficulty over the years would be completely lost. Moreover, maybe there will be countless grievances, and once someone ascends to the top and shouts, his position as a khan who has just sat for a long time will be replaced.

Faced with such a problem, Mutu could only summon his cronies to negotiate. And these people have long been fed up with the current situation, and immediately proposed to fight back against Mingguo.

In this regard, Mu Tu expressed his opposition very simply: "Now the people of the grassland are panicking, and everyone's losses are so big, they can't form a too strong team to take revenge." Moreover, last year, we did not get any benefits by sending troops to attack Xuanfu and Datong, but lost a lot of men and horses, and it was impossible for other ministries to send people at this time. ”

This is a fact, although the Gai beggar tribe is now powerful in the steppe, and Mutu is even more known as the new khan, but in fact, he is still not too strong in terms of appeal. After all, he has only been working for a few years, and his prestige cannot be compared with that of Genghis Khan at the beginning.

Nowadays, the various tribes of the grassland are scattered sand, and if it is profitable, everyone may be able to unite around Mutu and Gaiqi and send troops to fight the Ming Kingdom. But like now, it is destined to be a loss-making transaction, so no one is willing to accompany them to death.

In this regard, Mu Tu is also very helpless, but this is a fact on the grassland, and it is not something that can be changed by his will alone. Perhaps, if he can be given a few decades and have a suitable successor, then the future grassland tribes can really pose a huge threat to the Central Plains and even the whole world again like the original Great Yuan Empire. But at least for now, it seems that all this is delusional and unattainable.

"I think the most important thing now is to help everyone get through the current predicament. Especially to dig out the Ming troops who invaded our grasslands and annihilate them. At this time, Tuta, who had not made much noise, suddenly said.

Although he suffered a defeat before, which made everyone complain for a while, this time what he said was indeed true, and some people nodded in agreement. Of course, there are also other opinions: "You said it simply, but we don't even know where they are, how to deal with them?" ”

"That's going to take some effort on our part, like sending small groups of people around to look for them. This is our territory after all, and they'll always leave some clues. Tuta's eyes flickered and he said, "And we can also take the opportunity to transfer some men from various ministries, maybe these people can be completely used by our beggar tribes in the future." ”

These words were deeply in line with Mu Tu's thoughts, and he immediately nodded and said: "This is also a way, Tuta, this matter will be left to you." ”

Since the Gai Beggars put forward such an idea, those tribes who needed its protection naturally did not dare to disobey, and could only draw a part of it from a limited number of people to deal with it. And the Gai Qi Department itself also mobilized nearly half of the men and began to take the initiative to attack, looking for clues of those Ming troops everywhere.

At this time, Yang Zhen, who had rushed back to Datong, went out again, with the elite of two thousand brocade guards, and advanced into the Mongolian steppe. He wants to eradicate these scourges once and for all!
