The dust settled and the battle ended in one morning.
Tuxie Tuhan was a major force among the Mongolian tribes at this time, and An Sanxi himself did not expect to deal with them so quickly.
Jiannu has been fighting against Lin Danhan for more than ten years, and only now has he gained an advantageous position in terms of strength.
Of course, such a big victory can be achieved. The main reason was that the winter surprise caught them by surprise. They are trapped here with nowhere to escape.
If it were any other season, these people could escape even if they couldn't be beaten.
The second is that the advanced equipment is several generations ahead of the Mongols who are still using cold weapons. This technological gap cannot be solved by relying solely on individual bravery.
】
To be fair, these Mongolians have exceeded their level today. They knew there was nowhere to escape, and they tried their best to fight even though they were trapped, but they still failed.
At this time, An Sanxi was sitting in the golden tent, where Tu Xie Tuhan was.
Kneeling on the ground were the wives, concubines, and daughters of Tushetu Khan. Looking at the woman here who was trembling like a quail with fear, An Sanxi sighed.
This old fox still let him run away.
Since the demise of the Haraqin people, Tushetu Khan began to collect camels and concentrated them in his camp. This time it was a disastrous defeat, and he quit the battle midway. He took his son and 3,000 elite guards and soldiers, riding camels, to defect to Lin Dan Khan.
Because he and the Chechen Khan are neighboring countries, the two families are bound to be dirty. He went to join the Chechen Khan, and his head was probably in danger. After much deliberation, I could only go to Chahar's insidious Khan. After all, he was the emperor of Mongolia and the Han people occupied his land. The great emperor must make the decision for him.
He was really decisive in killing, even abandoning women and property, and only took away three thousand elite men riding camels. These people were the most important soldiers of the Tushetu Khanate. With soldiers, there is hope for a comeback.
Wang Hao walked into the tent. He said loudly: "Report to the commander, all Taiji, Tabunang, Nayan and herders who were unable to escape in the Tusheitu Khanate have been arrested. Please give instructions on how to deal with them."
An Sanxi said: "My master no longer allows the killing of these useless wastes. My master said that we should let them transform themselves into self-reliant workers."
Wang Hao didn't understand the meaning of this sentence and thought about how to deal with these people.
"Actually, they are sentenced according to their crimes and then sent to the island to dig up bird droppings. After serving their sentences, they are arranged to settle in a pastoral team in another place as ordinary herdsmen."
"Understood, let's take custody first."
More than 20,000 soldiers of Tushetu Khan died. Three thousand people escaped and more than 10,000 people were captured. The remaining two hundred thousand people are here. Became a prisoner.
Every accountant was afraid. Such a war to annihilate the country, according to the rules on the grassland, is to prevent rebellion. All men taller than the chariot shaft need to be killed. Then the women and children were distributed to the soldiers according to military industry.
They killed the original owner, then inherited his cattle, sheep, horses and all wealth, lived in his tent, and enslaved his wives, concubines, and children. Let these women give birth to their own children. This tribe was completely transformed into a tribe of its own power.
When the children born by the warriors and these women grew up, it was time to attack other tribes again.
Every force on the grassland develops like a snowball.
A large pot was set up in the camp, dried cow dung was lit, and water was boiled.
The water was made by soldiers shoveling ice and snow and melting it in pots. This is the only way to get water during this season. No one wants to go to the river to cut ice because the ice is very hard and there is a risk of freezing to death if the ice extraction takes a long time.
The men were all trembling, not knowing when the knife and ax would hit their necks.
The women were crying too. They don't know who they will give it to tonight, who they will live with in the future, and who will give birth to children for this new owner.
Then noon passed, and the waiting killing did not come. Instead, the aroma of rice porridge came from the big pot.
After the water boiled, the soldiers poured twenty kilograms of rice into the pot. Stir with a sapper shovel. The secret to delicious rice porridge is constant stirring.
It is impossible to wash rice. There is no way to wash the rice during this season, so we can only pour it in directly to make porridge.
Soon they were organized, with one soldier guarding every ten households. Come out and get rice porridge.
They are all poor Mongolians at the bottom. The nobles and Taijis either ran away with Tuxie Tuhan or were detained alone.
Winter is a season of hunger. In the memory of Mongolian people, there is no other impression except hunger in the vast white winter.
At this time, not only cattle and sheep need to use their hooves to dig through the snow to find dry grass and grass roots to eat. Even humans are suffering from hunger. They can only eat a limited amount of dairy products, along with some dried mushrooms and some dried wild vegetables collected in autumn.
It was impossible to eat meat. Except for nobles and soldiers, no one else was qualified to eat meat.
And food is far more precious than meat on the grassland. Meat is not easy to preserve, but food can be stored for ten years. In the most difficult moments, food is life-saving.
The only ones who can eat food every day are at least the Tabunangs, the Taijis, and even the Khans. It would be great if Yan and the herdsmen could have meat to eat. Apart from smelling the aroma of rice porridge, these slaves have never eaten rice porridge.
They couldn't believe that the whole family received a large bowl of rice porridge for each person. On the rice porridge, there is a pickle. They repeatedly checked with the soldiers in charge of them to see if this was food for them.
After getting a positive answer, they all drank the boiling rice porridge in Xili. Eating pickles in small sips.
Salt is also a valuable commodity on the grassland. The herdsmen at the bottom cannot afford it.
Not only did he not kill them, he did not divide their wives and daughters. Give them food to eat. They were all dumbfounded. I wonder what insidious tricks these Han people have waiting for them.
In the afternoon, managers from each of their ten households came. Gather them together for a meeting. These people are also Mongolians. It's just that the accent sounds like it's from the Monan tribes.
"From now on, the Tushetu Khanate no longer exists. From now on, this is the territory of Lord Yang Fan. We will not kill you, nor will we divide your wives and daughters. On the contrary, a livestock industry will be established here Teams. Every 25 households form a small team. Every 500 households form a large team.”
All the Mongolians pricked up their ears and listened carefully. This is their future destiny.
"All the property of the Tushetu Khanate will be equally divided among the animal husbandry teams. You will no longer be the herder slaves of the Taijis, but will become the domestic slaves of Master Yang. The property of the animal husbandry team will be shared by all families. You New captains and other managers are elected every year. Your children go to Duolun City to go to school, and you can only come back for two months every year during winter vacation and summer vacation."
The herdsmen looked at each other, wondering if they would stop killing people. Nor are women redistributed.
We also need to distribute the cattle and sheep property that originally belonged to the Taiji masters to us low-level herder slaves. There is such a good thing in the world.
They want to send the children away as hostages to prevent us from rebelling. It seems that he is really not ready to kill anyone.
