Basically all the fleeing Rakshasa soldiers were caught by the Ming army and became prisoners of the Ming army.
All these prisoners were taken by the Ming army to the surroundings of Turhong, and they continued to build fortifications to surround the Rakshasa army.
The Ming army was not in a hurry to annihilate the more than 100,000 Rakshasa soldiers who were still resisting.
Because the Ming army wanted to capture these more than 100,000 Rakshasa soldiers, they all intended to force them to surrender.
After all, there are more than 100,000 people.
It is a very rich labor resource.
And it is still squeezing resources of great value.
Because these Rakshasa soldiers are the main force of the Rakshasa Kingdom, all of them are well-trained and physically strong, so they are perfect for mining and working as coolies.
It will undoubtedly make a great contribution to the construction of the Ming Empire.
In addition, the Ming Dynasty mobilized troops here to encircle and annihilate these more than 200,000 Rakshasa soldiers, which cost a lot of military resources. It would be a real loss if they did not extract some value from these Rakshasa people who tried to enslave their own Ming people. very?
Sun Chuanting had already begun to send a report to Emperor Zhu Youxiao, asking the court to consider how to use the large number of Rakshasa people who were about to be captured to gain benefits.
Therefore, the Ming army did not carry out large-scale killings of these Rakshasa people, but kept building fortifications so that the Rakshasa people could not escape.
The Rakshasa soldiers were now discouraged, and they were just lingering in a place called Turhong, and did not dare to take the initiative to attack the Ming army again.
But Arezzoro has not yet thought of surrender.
For him, it was not a very honorable thing to surrender to Easterners whose beliefs were different from his own.
What's more, he has always been proud, thinking that he is the best commander of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and his Rakshasa Army is also the most powerful army in the world.
Although the Ming army wanted to besiege these Rakshasa people, they were not willing to besiege them for too long.
A siege that lasts too long will also consume a lot of your own logistical resources.
Therefore, the Ming army is also beginning to think of other ways to prompt these Rakshasa people to surrender voluntarily.
The first was to persuade them to surrender. The Ming army began to use flying objects such as sky lanterns to drop leaflets urging surrender to the Turhong area. They even sent Rakshasa captives to send messages back themselves, saying that as long as they surrendered, they would avoid death.
Because the Ming Dynasty invited these Rakshasa people to be enslaved, naturally they did not want them to die.
Secondly, all hope of survival was cut off. The rivers around Turhon were blocked. Arezzoro and his Rakshasa army could not wait until the water turned from snow flowed along the rivers.
Then there was the instigation of rebellion. The Ming army asked the Mongolians who distributed leaflets to persuade the Chahar and Turgut tribes to rebel and join the Ming Dynasty, instead of following the barbarians to fight against the imperial court. They also promised that as long as they surrendered, they would be punished by the imperial court. If accepted, the court will give preferential treatment.
Of course, it is said to be preferential treatment, but in fact it is Chineseization, so as to serve as a new force for the empire to continue to expand westward in the future.
After all, there are too few Han people in this area, some cultures are integrated, and they have the same skin color. In addition, the Mongols, whose main belief is Buddhism, are naturally more suitable for Chineseization than other races, and they were used by the Central Dynasty and became part of the Ming Dynasty.
After receiving the news, Burney and Habak were naturally very excited.
First of all, the current situation forced them to admit that joining the Ming Dynasty was the best choice.
What's more, they really prefer to be ruled by the Ming Dynasty, who also lived in the land of China.
Because this means that they still have a chance to return to their homeland.
But Arezzoro was also worried that the Mongols were unreliable and would instigate rebellion and join the Ming people who had the same skin color and similar culture to them.
The cultural similarities mentioned here are because Chinese culture in this era has been a combination of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and has been deeply influenced by Buddhism. There are elements of Buddhism, and the Mongolians mainly believe in Buddhism, so they are naturally somewhat similar to the Central Plains culture. Similar.
Therefore, Arezzoro arranged the Chahar tribe and the Turgut tribe to be surrounded by his own Rakshasa army.
But this made Burni and Habak even more uneasy, and worried that Alezzoro would destroy them before being completely wiped out by the Ming army.
Moreover, now that the Rakshasa Kingdom has shown itself to be invincible in front of the Ming Dynasty, they are always the last to respond to the Rakshasa Kingdom's forced conquest of them to fight for the expansion of the Rakshasa Kingdom, and the Rakshasa Kingdom's use of them as cannon fodder. In front of them, the dissatisfaction of being forced to lose many tribesmen also became more intense at this moment, and they became unwilling to endure it.
"What are you waiting for! Submitting to the imperial court is the only option!"
"It's not like the sons of the grassland have never joined the Central Plains imperial court before!"
"I'm afraid that there are many people in the Central Plains now, and their ancestors were once people from our grasslands. Even the Ming army opposite us looks similar to us. I'm afraid they are all from the same clan. Since everyone is from the same clan, why If we want to kill each other, wouldn’t it be nice to drink mare’s milk, eat roasted whole lamb, and sing and dance together?”
"And I heard that the herders under the Ming Dynasty lived a good life, they were good at singing and dancing, and they didn't have to worry about war!"
At this time, Ye Chuchun was trying his best to persuade Burni and Habak to lead their own tribe to rebel.
"It's better to think about this again."
Burney spoke first.
Habak also nodded.
Ye Chuchun saw that although the two of them had made it clear that they wanted to rebel, they were obviously a little moved, so he struck the iron while the iron was hot and asked:
"Two Great Khans, do you think that Alezolo still has hope of breaking out?"
"These days, you have also seen that the Ming army is as numerous as the white clouds on the grassland. You can't see the edge, and they are all brave and good at governance. More importantly, the firearms are really terrifying! Like God's help, why should we Why should we lose our people to the Western barbarians?!"
"In addition, those hateful Rakshasa people now know to let us rush in front to die when they die, causing our people to suffer huge casualties, but now when we need food and water, they forget about us and take away We have lost our own food and water, and if we continue like this, even if we don’t rebel, we will die of thirst and starvation!”
"In order for our respective tribesmen to survive, we should make a decision as soon as possible. Don't wait until the Ming army launches an attack!"
After hearing this, Burni couldn't help but said: "But now the Rakshasa people are surrounding us, and they are afraid that if we rebel, we will be bloody suppressed."
"That's right! The Rakshasa people are always fierce, and there are more of them than us."
Habak also followed suit.
"But if we don't fight hard, how will we know if there is hope? As long as we are willing to break out, there will always be people who can break out and survive! It is better than sitting here waiting to die now!"
"Besides, even if everyone dies in the battle, it's still better than dying of starvation and thirst like this coward!"
"As a warrior on the grassland, don't you dare to show your sword to someone who has been bullying you?! The Rakshasa people have bullied us for so long, why can't we fight back at the last moment? So what if we are all killed? At least take a breath!"
Ye Chuchun continued to encourage.
"You're right!"
The young and energetic Ayuqi, the son of Habak, after hearing what Ye Chuchun said, stood up excitedly, looked at Habak and said: "Father Khan! Please give the order, let us draw the sword!" Why do we have to endure the bullying of the Rakshasa people? We would rather die standing than sit down and wait for death!"
Burney nodded at this time: "Forget it! Mr. Ye is right, but we also have to let the court know about our affairs!"
As he spoke, Burni suggested: "We should organize the most powerful warriors and let them try their best to rush out when we draw our swords on the Rakshasa people! Then tell the court about our determination, in the future, maybe Therefore, the Ming Dynasty is willing to treat our tribesmen who are still in the Balkhash Lake area and your tribe of Turgut tribe who are still in the Volga River."
"That's right! Just do as you say!"
As Habak spoke, he added: "Let's make arrangements first. Starting at midnight tonight, we will draw our swords against the Rakshasa people together! Return to the country where the sun rises first!"
Wait until midnight.
The Mongols, who had already suffered a lot of grievances, finally summoned up the courage to reproduce the bravery of their ancestors, endured hunger, and drew their swords to kill the Rakshasa people closest to them.
