The next day, it was dawn.
The Mongolian army dispatched 5 teams of 1,000 men, divided into 5 groups to test the strength of the Ming army in other directions.
After all the 5 armies set off, Gugu sent another scout team to investigate the situation in Yulin.
Guguge's actions were not hidden from Lin Lue's eyes. Not long after Guguge's scout team left, the scout team sent by Lin Lue followed closely behind him.
As the sun set, when the last Mongolian troop came back with a frightened face, dragging the broken flag, Guguge felt half-hearted.
"Oh my God, aren't you going to send your elite troops to Liaodong tomorrow to cause trouble for establishing slaves? Why are there still so many people? Is God going to destroy our Susuha tribe?"
The leader of a small tribe couldn't bear the tremendous pressure and fell to the ground crying.
"Someone gave him 20 lashes and said that if he dared to disturb the morale of the army, he would be killed without mercy."
Under normal circumstances, as one of the leaders of the United Army, Guguge was not qualified to punish the leaders of other tribes.
But in this case, if the other party is allowed to cry, the entire army of soldiers will be seriously affected after all. In addition, the food is almost exhausted, and it will collapse on its own without being beaten by others.
In order to avoid a more serious situation, Gu Guge directly ordered to punish the leader of the small tribe.
At midnight that night, the scout team that went to Yulin for an exploration mission finally came back.
The result was as Gugu Gege expected, Yulin was still on tight guard.
"Is it true that we have no choice but to surrender?" Gugu fell into deep thought.
According to the current requirements of the Ming army, after the surrender, the strength of each tribe will plummet by at least half. In the next ten to twenty years, we will have to live in the shadow of Ming Dynasty.
But if they don't surrender, there will only be death waiting for them.
Without the protection of young people, the tribe is just an attractive piece of fat. Even if you are lucky enough to escape Akito's pursuit, there is no guarantee that you will not be annexed by other tribes.
The annexation of the grassland tribes was very bloody.
In order to ensure that the annexed tribe would not have any more dissent, usually all the men would be killed if they crossed the horseback.
Even if he doesn't kill him, he will try his best to make the young man become cannon fodder.
Thinking of his beautiful ladies and those unsatisfactory children, Gugu turned around and couldn't fall asleep.
The next day, early in the morning, Gugu summoned all the tribal leaders with big dark circles under his eyes.
At the meeting, from top to bottom, all the tribal leaders had big dark circles under their eyes. It was obvious that you didn't sleep well last night.
I think so, after all, now everyone is meat on the chopping board of the Ming Dynasty.
Life or death all depends on Da Ming's thoughts. Who can sleep in this situation?
...
"I don't need to say anything about the situation now!" After half a minute of silence, Gugu took the lead and broke the silence.
Yesterday's disastrous defeat of the 5th Route Pioneer, coupled with Yulin's intelligence, everyone here has already learned about it through various channels.
What's more serious is that many small tribe leaders seriously lack the awareness of confidentiality, and the current situation of the army is constantly being circulated among the Mongolian army.
This caused the morale of the already low morale of the Mongolian army to drop by another three points.
"As for the future of the army, I have discussed it with Lin Lue before. We plan to surrender to the Ming army while the army still has a certain strength.
If the others want to surrender, they can discuss the surrender here later. If they want to choose the opportunity to fight with the Ming Dynasty, we will not stop them. "
For the sake of the tribe, for the sake of his beautiful ladies, and even for the sake of his unsatisfactory children, Gugu chose to surrender. After all, only by being alive can there be hope and the possibility of leading the tribe to rise again.
If he died, it would really be all over.
Although the requirements of the Ming Dynasty are very strict, everything can be negotiated.
Gugu Ge and Lin Lue did not have extravagant expectations that the Ming Dynasty's requirements would be lowered, but as long as they could trade and let the tribe survive this winter.
As soon as Guguge finished speaking, the tribal leader below suddenly became furious.
Although many small and medium-sized tribal leaders are already prepared to surrender, there are still many tribal leaders who want to fight to the death with the Ming Dynasty.
Few people who can get along with the tribal leader are fools. It's not that they really want to fight to the death with Ming Dynasty, but if they don't fight to the death, they will only die.
After all, not all tribes have enough supplies to exchange for winter supplies from Ming Dynasty.
There are many small tribes that are really poor.
The reason why they listened to Gu Guge was to plunder enough supplies from the Ming Dynasty. So that the tribe could survive the winter. '
But under the current circumstances, I can't help but not reap the benefits and also lose a lot.
Everyone is selfish, and these tribal leaders are no exception.
If the army agrees to surrender, there is a high possibility that the people of these small tribes will be used as cannon fodder and given to the Ming army.
Medium and large tribes whose strength has been damaged will definitely restore their strength by annexing small and medium tribes as soon as possible after returning to the grassland.
No tribe would be willing to do this kind of obviously loss-making business.
If everyone were still in their own camps and their tribal soldiers were still around, everyone would have the confidence to say no.
But now there are only two or three guards around him, and he is still in the Tumut tribe camp, surrounded by soldiers of the Tumut tribe. It is easier said than done to say no?
"Since it is the Lord Gugu, we will naturally obey, but what if Mingren is unethical? Don't forget that among the tribes here, which tribe has not robbed Mingren's things? Has it been stained with Mingren's blood?
What if Mingren collects our war horses? After handing over our weapons, what should we do if we directly turn against each other and disown our people?
When Akito's swords and guns are brandished, what can we do to stop him?
Could it be..."
Before the leader of the small tribe finished speaking, he heard a whooshing sound, and an arrow was inserted directly into the opponent's throat, and then a group of fully armed soldiers rushed in.
Guguge and Lin Lue had not considered the possibility of surrendering to the Ming army and being counterattacked by the Ming people. However, the Ming Dynasty was now powerful. Even if they did not surrender, as long as the Ming Dynasty continued to block all intersections, the entire Mongol army would be finished sooner or later. .
Moreover, the Ming Dynasty prides itself on being a heavenly dynasty, so the possibility of going back on its word in the future is extremely low.
In order to find the possibility of returning to the grassland and allowing the tribe to continue to survive, Guguge naturally would not allow anyone to cause trouble.
