"That's it, let's go and deliver the message!"
"I obey the decree!"
After Sun Chengzong responded, he slowly exited the tent. Less than half an hour later, he led two commanders, Zhou Yuji and Huang Degong, and more than a thousand elites to the Tumut camp.
In the camp at this moment, more than a hundred people who had returned from the Ming Dynasty were describing everything they saw and heard in various prefectures and counties of the Ming Dynasty.
"Brothers, you don't know that when we were in Xuan Mansion, the soldiers and people looked at us with eyes that really wanted to eat us alive.
But no one scolded us, and no one took action against us. It was not because there were soldiers protecting us, but because of the edict. It seemed that they believed in the Emperor of Heaven more! "
"Yes, the same thing happened to me in Datong. Although I didn't make statistics, I estimate that at least 90% of the people want to kill us directly, but the strange thing is that no one scolded us!"
"The Ming Emperor's prestige in the hearts of the people in several towns has reached its peak, and the people also obey!"
"Fortunately we belong, otherwise, if the Ming army surrounded us and killed us, the people of the Ming Dynasty would definitely applaud!"
"Well, when I was in Zhangjiakou, someone tapped me on the shoulder and said that we would be brothers from now on!"
…
When the leaders of the tribes listened to the stories of the people who had returned from the Ming Dynasty, their faces turned from red to white and then to red, from fear to luck, and their eyes looking at the fortune teller rabbit were full of admiration.
When everyone opposed him, only he insisted on surrendering and was able to avoid the fate of the tribe being massacred. Otherwise, they would be the sinners of the Tumut tribe.
Now that Ming Dynasty issued an edict, this was a guarantee and made them completely relieved.
Just when everyone was rejoicing, a waiter entered the tent and said: "Great Khan, there was news just now. In a quarter of an hour, the Ming cabinet minister Sun Chengzong will come to convey the imperial decree."
"Follow this Khan to receive the order!"
After Bu Shitu finished speaking, he walked outside, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said seriously: "Since you have chosen to surrender, you must act like a subject.
There are many etiquettes in the Ming Dynasty, but what you need to pay attention to is the prelude to Jun, etc.
In front of the imperial edict, you must kneel down to receive the edict. Don't be rude and make people think that our Tumut department has no etiquette! "
Everyone looked a little ugly. Although they were reluctant, they still nodded.
Half a quarter of an hour later, everyone arrived in front of the camp, and Sun Chengzong and others also arrived at the camp.
"The third generation king of Shunyi, Boljijin Bu Shitucan, led the leaders of the Tumote tribe to receive the order!"
After Bu Shitu finished speaking, he was about to kneel down, but Sun Chengzong immediately said: "Bu Shitu, Your Majesty said, since this is the first time, all the etiquette is not complete, so I will forgive you for now!"
"On behalf of the leaders of the ministries, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your understanding!"
"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and he said: Benevolence to the country, nourishing the people as the first... It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty that Tumote surrendered... The Mongolian Autonomous Region was established, and the Mongolian branch of the vassal academy was established to manage various matters in Mongolia. The region involves laws, Taxation, etc...Remove the position of King Shunyi of Fortune Telling..."
After reading this, Sun Chengzong paused and glanced at the fortune telling rabbit and the leaders of the tribes.
I saw a sudden change in Bu Shitu's face. Is Ming trying to kill the donkey? But then he returned to his normal color.
The heads of various tribes had different expressions, especially Halesantu's face was full of joy.
"Tumote no longer established the throne of Shunyi from then on, but Bu Shitu led Tumut to submit to the Ming Dynasty for his merits. He was awarded Shunyi Bo, hereditary for three generations, prime minister of the Mongolian branch of the Kali Domain, with a rank of 2nd rank, and a count's mansion in Guihua City. .
And before mid-May, one of the four officials from the Banner, Wang Hui, Dian, and Li Xing Departments under the Lifan Yuan, one from the Supervisory Yuan, and two from the Supervisory Yuan were selected, and submitted to the imperial court for review. The third rank, the fourth rank of Chengzheng, the fifth rank of Sisi Langzhong!
In addition, the leaders of other tribes led their troops to surrender and were rewarded with a hundred taels of silver, a stone of fine salt, tea, and five pieces of cloth...I admire this! "
An imperial edict is hundreds of words long, contains a lot of content, and each has its own reward.
But some people are happy and some are sad. The one who is happy is the fortune-telling rabbit, and the one who is sad is the leaders of the tribes.
The removal of the Shunyi throne was expected by Bu Shitu. Since he had surrendered to the imperial court, it was unreasonable to establish another throne. The throne of the Ming Dynasty was only held by members of the clan.
However, he did not expect that the imperial court would grant Uncle Shunyi, even though it was only an earl title and it was only hereditary for three generations.
But you must know that the imperial court has just cleared out the nobles, and there are not many Hou Bojue left. The current title is definitely very valuable.
What's more important is that he is the chief minister of the Lifan Yuan and has the right to recommend officials of various departments under him. This is very convenient for wooing his own people, which is a headache for the leaders of the various ministries.
Although they retained the title of their leader, they had to obey the fortune-telling vassal academy, and being the leader was just an honor.
In the past, I could rely on my identity as the leader of a department to fight against Shitu, but from now on, I am no longer on the same level. It cannot be said that squeezing them to death is like squeezing an ant to death, but it is definitely not a difficult task.
And this is exactly the cabinet's calculation. No matter who is chosen by Divination Shitu, the final review power rests with the court.
When various tribes fight, Ming Dynasty can better win over and divide them, and integrate them into Ming Dynasty faster.
"Bu Shitu, the Prime Minister of the Mongolian branch of the Imperial Household Council, thanks His Majesty for His grace!"
After thinking about it, Shitu took over the imperial edict and knelt in the direction of the Ming army's tent. Although the leaders behind him didn't want to kneel, Shitu all knelt. If they didn't kneel, didn't they want to cause trouble?
"Uncle Shunyi, get up. Your Majesty asked me to give you a message. I hope you can lead the Mongolian herdsmen to live a happier life under the guidance of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Old Sun Ge, I understand, Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will live up to His Majesty's great trust!"
"Well, let's go. Disband the army and collect the weapons. Once we've done this, I can go back and resume my duties."
"Mr. Sun Ge, you don't actually need to go there in person. I have talked with the leaders of the various tribes and the sergeants. Although there is some resistance, it should be fine."
"It's better for me to go there in person. We can put down the weapons, but we can't put down the hatred. To untie the bell, you still have to tie the bell!"
A quarter of an hour later, more than 20,000 Tumote warriors gathered together. Sun Chengzong stood on a high platform, with several sergeants scanning around vigilantly.
If someone risked his life and killed Sun Chengzong with a cold arrow, that would be the biggest joke in the world.
Looking down at Sergeant Tumut with hatred, disdain and a complicated look in his eyes, Sun Chengzong was so angry that he shouted loudly.
"Warriors, I am Sun Chengzong, the minister of the Ming Dynasty, who is here to preside over the disarmament at your Majesty's order!
I know that you hate me very much, but I want to say that this is a cycle of cause and effect. "
"In the words of Ming Dynasty, those who come out to fool around will always have to pay back."
