Not only these ordinary people, but also the leaders of the Jungar tribe were also afraid.
Although they were using the Heshuote tribe and other tribes as threats, they seemed to have taken the initiative. But the most important thing is that the current ability of the Ming army can easily destroy them. Whether they can survive or not all depends on the word of the Ming emperor.
If they offend the Ming Emperor, they will all die here with just one order!
Relatively speaking, if the Ming Emperor breaks his promise in front of the two armies, it will definitely have a bad impact on the emperor himself. Now that he has spoken so openly about the conflict between the two armies, it seems that the possibility of breaking his promise is very low. After all, he is the Ming Emperor!
Thinking of this, Zhuot Babatur became anxious and said to Baturhun quickly: "Father Khan, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, so it is impossible to break his promise! If he is offended by going too far, and once he falls out, our Geer tribe will be punished. It’s over!”
The implication is, that's it, don't irritate the Ming Emperor anymore!
This time, Seng Ge also reminded: "Father Khan, those Ming soldiers feel that we have insulted their emperor. Once they get excited, they are likely to fight. In this way, it does not mean that the Ming emperor does not care about his people." , but we did it before we insulted their emperor. Even if the Ming emperor punishes someone in the Ming army for his face afterwards, it will be a disaster for our Zhungeer tribe! "
Baturhun looked at his two sons and then at the other leaders. Seeing that they were all nodding in agreement, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Being weak, there was not much room for negotiation. Now that the Emperor of Ming was forced to give two days to escape, it seemed that the limit was reached.
With this in mind, he loudly said to Emperor Chongzhen: "We, the Zhungeer tribe, believe in His Majesty the Ming Emperor, and we also ask your army to clear a way and retreat ten miles."
When they were talking to each other just now, Emperor Chongzhen roughly judged that those people were the leaders of the Jungar tribe based on their words and deeds. He was not stingy and "rewarded" them with Class A eavesdropping seeds.
After hearing Baturhun's words, Emperor Chongzhen said loudly to the herdsmen kneeling there: "Don't worry, if the Zhungeers don't keep their promise, I will hunt them down immediately. Don't even think about them." Run! Just wait and be patient!"
When the herdsmen heard this, they all cried with joy and kowtowed in gratitude.
Hong Chengchou was right behind Emperor Chongzhen. Seeing everything just happened, he couldn't help but admire Emperor Chongzhen very much. In this way, the Western Regions were settled!
Even if the Jungar tribe was not wiped out this time, with these herdsmen as the basis and a Ming army stationed here, the Ming Dynasty would have taken root in the Western Regions. Looking back, the Ming Dynasty did not have to rush to relocate the people in the country, and it could already be used as a base to attack the further west.
After Emperor Chongzhen finished speaking, he ordered the army to retreat ten miles.
On this endless grassland, even if you retreat ten miles, you can still see the movement here. With the help of a telescope, you can see even more clearly.
In addition, there is a group of cavalry of about 500 people who have not left. They are monitoring the Jungar tribe here and waiting for the Jungar tribe to withdraw and take over everything in the valley.
Watching the Ming army retreat slowly, Baturhun finally breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately, he sighed heavily again. The strength is not as good as the Ming army, no, the strength is far inferior to the Ming army, that's all!
However, Zhuote Babatur did not have such thoughts. Instead, he was worried and excited, and said to him quickly: "Father, we have to leave quickly!"
As he said, every moment in two days is precious.
So Baturhun immediately returned to the valley and began to evacuate his tribe.
Although the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty said not to allow the cattle and sheep of the Geer tribe, no matter what, these cattle and sheep cannot be taken away! Otherwise, it would drag down the journey. Let alone two days, even if it takes two more days, the Ming army will catch up.
Therefore, he asked his men to kill a group of cattle and sheep and cut off as much meat as they could carry. As for the rest, he did not dare to order them to be destroyed and killed, so as not to anger the Ming army.
Seeing everyone below being busy, Baturhun fell into a daze again.
Sengge noticed this situation, and after looking along Baturhun's line of sight, he understood why his father Khan was in a daze.
So, he also sighed, it was another helpless thing.
It is certainly impossible for the old and weak in the tribe to flee, even some children who are too young. In this situation, apart from the young and strong, we can only follow some strong women, and the rest can only be abandoned.
The only way is to throw away the burdens, free up more healthy horses, and run as fast as possible. Only in this way can we escape the pursuit of the Ming cavalry as much as possible in two days!
According to the practice on the grassland, these abandoned burdens will not die, but will become slaves.
As a result, a completely different scene appeared in the valley than before.
The people of the Zhungeer tribe were all caught up in the miserable situation of joys and sorrows. They didn't even have time to grieve and were hurriedly preparing to run away. Everything that he had been as a victor was gone.
As for the people from other tribes, they did not see the situation outside, but they knew that the Ming army was coming outside. Seeing the people of the Jungar tribe like this, they all forgot their sadness and were curious about what happened?
Someone will definitely say something like, "You are so lucky that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was willing to let us go just to save you." Although they are not as clear as the tribesmen outside, they do know one thing, that is, they were saved because of the Ming Emperor.
After understanding this, of course they were excited and happy. This good news spread from ten to ten, and it didn't take long for all the captured herdsmen in the whole valley to know about it. They all cried with joy. Then they looked at the people of the Zhungeer tribe who were about to escape in a hurry. They looked like this. He was so panicked that he couldn't help but feel extremely grateful to the Ming Emperor.
About an hour later, about 15,000 Jungar tribesmen, each with two or three horses, swarmed to the mouth of the valley. They saw the main force of the Ming army camped ten miles away, and they were filled with anxiety. mentality, regardless of the cries of the elderly and weak in their clan, they fled westward under the leadership of their great Khan Baturhun.
When the Ming army staying here saw this, they first untied the herdsmen outside the valley.
Every time a group of herdsmen were untied, the herdsmen knelt down excitedly to thank them, and then rushed into the valley to find their relatives. Almost all herdsmen express their gratitude first and then go to their relatives and friends.
The rumble of horse hooves as the Jungar tribe fled naturally reached the Ming army camp. Emperor Chongzhen came slowly towards the valley with more than 5,000 cavalry.
Of course, it is inevitable that Ming army soldiers would rush to the valley first and allocate manpower to search the valley to see if there are any remaining Jungar tribes and whether it is safe enough, etc.
By the time Emperor Chongzhen arrived at this side of the valley, the people in the valley had already received news that Emperor Ming had arrived, and they all swarmed out of the valley. When they saw the banner of the Ming Emperor from a distance, they all knelt down. Suddenly, the entire grassland was full of kneeling people.
There are men, women, young and old, young and old women. Their faces were full of gratitude, and they knelt there devoutly, just like the arrival of Emperor Chongzhen, which was their belief.
Hong Chengchou, who accompanied Emperor Chongzhen here, glanced at everything in front of him, and couldn't help but admire Emperor Chongzhen again in his heart.
The hearts and minds of the Western Regions are all in the hands of the Emperor!
If the emperor can really wipe out the Jungar tribe later, then this trip to the Western Regions will be perfect! Of course, even if the Jungar tribe escapes, the tribe's vitality will be severely damaged and it will not be able to make any waves.
Arriving in front of the sea of people, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the rescued herdsmen and immediately said loudly: "Qing Eqiltu led you to join the Ming Dynasty, and you are my people. I will protect my people. As for those who harm you, Jungar tribe, I will personally lead the army to pursue you in two days, and I will definitely seek justice for you."
It wouldn't work without chasing him personally. After all, only Emperor Chongzhen could receive the information from the eavesdropping seeds carried by the leaders of the Zhungeer tribe.
His words were naturally translated by Ming army soldiers. When these herdsmen heard this, they all shouted long live the mountain in response to the emperor's kindness.
Later, of course, Ming army officers and soldiers reported the matter of Junger tribe being old and weak. Emperor Chongzhen naturally had no mercy on them and demoted them as slaves.
The next day after settling these herdsmen, Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict to establish Tianshan Province, with the provincial capital being Luntai. He appointed Hong Chengchou as the governor of Tianshan Province, assuming military and political power, expanded Luntai, and left 15,000 horses for Hong Chengchou to command. Lead these herdsmen to Luntai.
Emperor Chongzhen himself stayed here, and when the two days were up, he led 30,000 cavalry to pursue westward.
Although the Western Region is vast and there are few landmarks, fortunately, there are good tracking experts in the army. Emperor Chongzhen spread many Class A eavesdropping seeds, and they were all on the leader of the Jungar tribe. Therefore, regardless of Jungel, No matter how they fled, Erbu failed to escape in the end. When they fled to the Irtysh River Basin, they were wiped out by the army led by Emperor Chongzhen. At this point, the Jungar tribe has been removed!
On September 19, the 22nd year of Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen led his army back to Luntai, which surprised Hong Chengchou and others. I didn't expect that the emperor was so powerful that he wiped out the Jungar tribe so quickly.
The herdsmen were even more shocked. You must know that the Jungar tribe could catch up and wipe out the tribe so quickly in the vast grassland even if they had to escape for two days. Soon.
At this time, a batch of supplies transferred from the pass through Hami had already arrived in Luntai. Emperor Chongzhen did not stay here long and had to go back before it snowed and the road became difficult to walk.
Before leaving, he specifically told Hong Chengchou.
