For thousands of years, the Central Plains dynasties defeated the nomadic peoples in many places.
Even many nomadic peoples have disappeared in the long history.
But like today, when all the tribes of the entire nation were wiped out, this was the first time.
Although the Tumut tribe of Monan Mongolia is not among them, the Tumut tribe has been disintegrated by the Manchus since the death of Lin Dan Khan and has become completely useless.
Some of them were absorbed by Liang Yue and joined the Liang Army.
There is still a part of the Hetao grassland that has not been annexed, but it is just not taken care of for the time being.
Now that Monan Mongolia has been wiped out in one fell swoop, the most serious consequence is that the Mongolian princes and nobles have no ability to resist in the face of the National Defense Forces' attack.
They were all made prisoners and cut off from their tribes.
Even if you want to incite riots, you still have to be able to speak.
Now I don’t even know if I can get out of the tent alive. I’m really just a knife-sitter and I’m a fish-meat.
Facing the butcher knife of the National Defense Forces, Badali, Manzhu Xili and others had no choice but to be detained and join the eastbound team.
The herdsmen who were still under guard watched the large group of people leave, including their leader, and they were all full of panic about the future.
People on the grasslands have always lived as tribes as a collective. Although the nobles have always exploited the herdsmen very hard, they can still ensure their survival.
Now that all the nobles have been captured, the herdsmen feel that the sky above their heads has fallen.
For a time, people in the prisoner-of-war camp were restless and a little unstable. If it is not handled well, it may lead to catastrophe.
Lou Fu acted quickly and held a military exercise next to the prisoner of war camp.
Hundreds of thousands of troops were deployed with full firepower, and the fighting changed the color of the world, which also quickly stabilized the originally unstable prisoner of war camp.
Faced with absolute power, the grassland herdsmen who lost their weapons no longer had anyone to lead them, and they didn't know what to do even if they wanted to cause chaos.
After Wang Siyi left, Lou Fu further refined the prisoners of war.
All those who were centurions and above were pulled out to work as coolies, and their physical strength was squeezed to the extreme until they died.
These people are the backbone of various tribes. Taking these people away will make ordinary herdsmen further lose the possibility of being bewitched.
After doing this, it was finally the turn of the civil affairs officials led by Geng Zhangguang to appear.
"Whether we can completely bring the grassland under the empire's control in the future will be the ultimate goal of our work. As I said again, forget the past and forget the hatred. From now on, the grassland herdsmen are also the subjects of our empire and our compatriots. "
Hundreds of young officials all looked solemn and firmly remembered these words in their hearts.
The next step is to completely disperse all the herdsmen.
The original tribe must not exist. Otherwise, what would be the difference from before?
Dispersing these people will prevent them from uniting. In the end, the problem can only be solved by the officials of the empire.
As time passed, the rules became fixed and the herdsmen got used to it, so there would be no more repetitions in this land.
Narentuoya is an ordinary little herdsman girl who belongs to Horqin's left wing.
Their whole family makes a living by grazing cattle for Master Taiji. Most of the year's output belongs to the nobles, and the remainder is barely enough to live on.
The lack of supplies on the grassland made their family's life very difficult.
The only clothes they wore were robes made of sheepskin and wool, and the tents they lived in were also patched and had drafts everywhere.
The most troublesome thing is eating, because there is no iron pot at home, so I can only cook meat in clay pots.
The clay pots sold by the Han people were too expensive, so they could only pick up broken clay pots that others did not want.
Especially there was no salt or tea, which made the family always sick.
Although my father is also a soldier and often goes out to fight with the army. But the things that can be distributed are too few, not enough for the consumption of a family.
Not long ago, my father followed the prince to fight. No one expected that the National Defense Forces suddenly rushed into their camp.
Those ferocious Han people killed all the soldiers who dared to resist, and all the remaining old, young, women and children were arrested.
After being sent to the prisoner-of-war camp, Narentoya suddenly discovered that it seemed that all the Mongolians in the grassland had been captured, numbering hundreds of thousands.
The perimeter of the prisoner-of-war camp was tightly controlled by the Wehrmacht, and no one could escape. Every Mongolian is terrified and doesn't know what their fate is.
However, it has been quiet recently. The National Defense Forces did not abuse them and provided them with two meals a day.
The food is not very good, but for Mongolians it is simply delicious.
But Narentoya was in a very anxious mood.
It's about to snow, but the pasture at home has not been harvested yet, and the more than one hundred cattle and sheep may not survive the winter.
Narentoya couldn't help but tremble with fear when she thought of the death of the cattle and sheep and the punishment of the noble master.
Until one morning, the National Defense Forces walked in.
"Narentoya, bring your family and come with me."
The girl didn't know what happened and didn't dare to ask.
It is a tradition on the grassland that has existed for thousands of years. Once a certain tribe loses a war, the women of the tribe are the spoils of others and can be disposed of at their own discretion.
Any child taller than the wheel will be killed.
Over time, the prairie people have already become accustomed to it.
Narentoya and her brothers followed the National Defense Forces to the outside of the prisoner-of-war camp. The only thing she was happy about was that none of her brothers were taller than the wheel.
But when she came here and saw a familiar figure, she couldn't help but shed tears of joy.
"Abu, are you still alive?"
The person Narentoya saw was her father Gangbale who went to war with the army.
Hearing that the battle was fierce, Narentoya thought her father had died on the battlefield.
But I never thought that we would meet one day alive.
Not only that, Gumbale's physical condition is still very good, and he is obviously living a good life these days.
"Narentoya, my children, it's great that you are all still alive!"
Gambale couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw the children.
This is his last thought in this world.
The family met, and after getting over the excitement, they anxiously awaited the verdict of their fate.
However, they soon discovered that many Mongolian families gathered around them, but the faces were all unfamiliar.
A Han official came over accompanied by the National Defense Forces.
"Take your families with you, follow the team, and don't run away, otherwise you will suffer the consequences."
After a stern warning, the team set off.
Narentoya observed carefully and found that there were about three hundred families in their group, escorted by a thousand National Defense Force soldiers, leaving the prisoner of war camp and heading south.
This trip lasted five days and five nights, which was very hard.
But when they arrived at their destination, Gambale was particularly strange.
"This is the territory of the Aohan tribe. Why did you bring us here?"
