Chapter 421: Mongolia wants to negotiate
This war has turned into a one-sided massacre. Finally, the Mongolians in front of the position were killed by the Ming army and became even more sparse.&1t;/p>
These Mongolian cavalry are very brave, but the result of being brave is to give life. The power gap between the two sides is too big. Even if the Mongolians are willing to fight, they cannot touch the Ming army's position at all.&1t;/p>
Only a bow and arrow can be set off fifty or sixty meters away, but the firepower is too sparse, and the Ming soldiers are also equipped with helmets and hide in the trenches to release guns. These bow and arrows are not very threatening to the Ming soldiers. As long as their heads shrink, these bow and arrows have no way to deal with the Ming army.&1t;/p>
Some of the thrown bows and arrows fell from the heads of Ming soldiers. When they hit the Ming army, they were only hit on the helmets. Even if they hit the shoulders, they only caused minor injuries. Moreover, the Ming army that was shot in the arrow could basically continue to fight.&1t;/p>
The 230,000 Mongolian cavalry eventually fell in front of the formation.&1t;/p>
"Khan, our warriors have basically died in battle." A personal guard beside Lin Danhan reminded Lin Danhan with tears in his eyes.&1t;/p>
At this time, Lin Danhan opened his eyes. The telescope looked around on the battlefield. Wherever he saw, there were corpses everywhere and blood flowed into a river.&1t;/p>
"Retreat."&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan put down his telescope, closed his eyes helplessly, then turned around and rode his horse away. The remaining 70,000 Mongolian cavalrymen immediately followed.&1t;/p>
The Mongolian cavalry on the battlefield have been abandoned.&1t;/p>
There is no need to rescue him. Although there are still many Mongolian cavalry on the battlefield that have not died, some Mongolian cavalry fell off their horses and lie on the ground without losing their lives.&1t;/p>
It is difficult for these Mongolian cavalry to go back, they have lost their war horses.&1t;/p>
If Lin Danhan continues to stay, he will probably be stuck by the Ming army. This battle formation has already beaten all the Mongolian cavalry to the point of being terrified. Even if Lin Danhan still has 70,000 Mongolian cavalry in his hands, he has lost all his confidence and does not think he can eat the Ming army with only tens of thousands of people in front of him.&1t;/p>
The result of this war is destined after this battle.&1t;/p>
Mongolia's vitality was severely damaged and was no longer able to compete with the Ming army head-on. It could only continue to hide and seek on the grassland. When can it hide, it was considered as when. Lin Danhan had no choice but to retreat to Central Asia at most.&1t;/p>
"The Mongols retreated."&1t;/p>
“We won.”&1t;/p>
"Long live the Ming Dynasty, long live the saint."&1t;/p>
The Ming army on the position saw the Mongolian army retreating. Suddenly, the cheers burst out like overwhelming, and all the officers and soldiers rushed out of the trench.&1t;/p>
"The Mongols are really gone." After Xu Jia confirmed that the main force of Mongolia had indeed retreated, he ordered: "Sweep the battlefield immediately."&1t;/p>
This battlefield is obviously not easy to clean, there are too many corpses.&1t;/p>
However, the Ming army could not keep these corpses exposed to the wild, which could easily cause plague or something. And it was inhumane.&1t;/p>
The Ming army began to step out of the position and clean up the alive Mongolian cavalry on the battlefield.&1t;/p>
The Mongolian language of surrendering and not killing sounded everywhere. Seeing that the battle was over, the Mongolian cavalry rarely resisted stubbornly, so they raised their hands to surrender to the Ming army.&1t;/p>
After some cleaning, nearly 30,000 Mongolian cavalry were captured, and a large number of seriously injured Mongolian cavalry were also captured. For these seriously injured Mongolian cavalry, the military doctors of the oo6th Division could only try their best to rescue them, and how much they could be saved is counted. At this time, the Ming army's surgical technology made great progress, and many Mongolian cavalry were rescued back, but there were too many Mongolian cavalry sawing arms and legs.&1t;/p>
Blood and howlings are everywhere in the battlefield hospital.&1t;/p>
Then the Ming army began to organize prisoners and dig a large pit together, and moved the bodies of the Mongolian cavalry and the bodies of war horses into the pit and the landfill separately.&1t;/p>
The location of this mass grave was not recorded in detail later. It was not until a hundred years later, a mining company dug out the mass grave while mining in Mongolia.&1t;/p>
The battlefield cleaning lasted for nearly three days before the oo6th Division landed all the bodies on the battlefield into a pit. In this battle, Mongolia suffered more than 200,000 troops, an unprecedented tragic force.&1t;/p>
Of course, this is nothing compared to the First World War where heavy machine guns were used extensively in history.&1t;/p>
However, the number of enemies killed in a single day is less than that of World War I.&1t;/p>
While the oo6th Division achieved great victory, the other four infantry divisions that penetrated the hinterland of the grassland also achieved considerable results and swept away many Mongolian tribes.&1t;/p>
It was spring, and livestock who had been in the sheep pen for a winter were in urgent need of grass. It was a very important production stage in Mongolia.&1t;/p>
Mongolian tribes on the grassland are busy grazing and other things at this time.&1t;/p>
Under such circumstances, these four infantry divisions can easily see traces of Mongolian tribes on the grassland. As long as there are cattle and sheep, there must be Mongolian tribes around.&1t;/p>
At this time, the main Mongolian force had been drawn by Lin Danhan to deal with the oo6th Division, and these Mongolian tribes were scattered in the grassland to grazing. When they encountered these Ming troops, they had no power to resist. These infantry divisions did not even use machine guns, and directly shot with rifles, and knocked these Mongolian tribes into pieces.&1t;/p>
Moreover, people from these Mongolian tribes can run, but the elderly, weak, women and children are not easy to run, and those cattle and sheep cannot run fast at all. If they run away with cattle and sheep, they will inevitably be caught up by the Ming army. If they do not run away with these cattle and sheep, they will definitely starve to death and fall into an unsolvable knot.&1t;/p>
These Mongolian tribes had to surrender under the siege of the Ming army. The Ming army did not kill them completely, and did not carry out any massacres.&1t;/p>
After conquering Mongolia, we must consider the issue of resuming production after the war. The Han people were not very adapted to the environment on the Mongolian grasslands, and not many Han people were willing to grazing on the grasslands, so the Mongolians still needed to take on production tasks. Therefore, after these Mongolian tribes surrendered, the Ming army escorted these Mongolian tribes to the grassland area occupied by the Ming army. These were all captured and spoils of the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
These infantry divisions that entered the grassland sweeping were only less than two hundred miles deep, so it was not too troublesome to escort the herdsmen and livestock of these Mongolian tribes back.&1t;/p>
What was Lin Danhan doing at this time?&1t;/p>
After the Mongolian main force, which was hit in front of the oo6th Division, retreated, I quickly felt that nothing was fine.&1t;/p>
Conflicts soon arose within Mongolia. Lin Danhan did not lead them to victory, but was leading them to the destruction of the group.&1t;/p>
The tribes in Mongolian in the northern part of the desert were immediately unhappy. If they really went to the destruction of the whole country, their interests in governing Mongolia would be lost. By then, no good days would be gone, so what's the point of fighting? Just surrender to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
Many Mongolian aristocrats were trying to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. Previously, the commercial economic cooperation between the Ming Dynasty and Mongolia had actually allowed these Mongolian aristocrats to taste the sweetness, and their income increased. They could also enjoy various commodities exported to Mongolia by the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
Many ordinary products from the Ming Dynasty were completely luxury goods for these Mongolians. And now there are more and more new luxury goods in the Ming Dynasty, which have made the Mongolian nobles very satisfied with their previous ruling interests. However, Lin Danhan's decision made the good days.&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan is also very innocent. Damn, why didn’t you say this before the war?&1t;/p>
Before the war started, which Mongolian nobleman would have thought that the situation would become like this. On the one hand, the Ming Dynasty's firearms became even more terrifying. Mongolian cavalry was simply sent to death in front of the Ming army's firearms, and there was no chance to get close. On the other hand, the Ming Dynasty built railways and towns on the grasslands, and this move was simply to remove firewood from the bottom of a pot.&1t;/p>
At the same time, the Ming army, which went deep into Mongolia to sweep the country, also caused serious interference to Mongolia's production. Now, when the main Mongolian forces see infantry divisions like the OO6 Division, they basically go around. They can only move in advance. When they don't have time to run, they can only give up those tribes that don't have time to transfer.&1t;/p>
He did not dare to send the main force to fight the Ming army to cover the retreat of those tribes.&1t;/p>
"We want to negotiate with the Ming Kingdom. If this continues, we will become nothing." The Mongolian nobles started to make a fuss.&1t;/p>
The current situation is only for their interests, and they only need to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. In fact, they want to compromise in the Ming Dynasty to protect some interests.&1t;/p>
If they really retreat to Central Asia, how much benefits will they have left?&1t;/p>
People will definitely starve to death on the road. And I don’t know if the Ming Dynasty will continue to chase them. Once they are continuously hunted by the Ming Dynasty, they will be completely finished. Not to mention the time to rectify the production, there is no good target for robbery, but they will be continuously hunted.&1t;/p>
The only thing that can protect the interests of rule is to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
Lin Danhan had to follow the wishes of the public and send an envoy to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, otherwise the internal situation would be in a state of uproar.&1t;/p>
…&1t;/p>
After Zhu Youxiao received the good news from the oo6th Division, he was stunned for a long time on the spot. A group of staff members from the Supreme Command were also shocked. Unexpectedly, the direction of the war would be so dramatic. The main force of the Ming army had not yet contacted the main force of Mongolia. The main force of Mongolia was crippled by the Ming Dynasty?&1t;/p>
"Mongolia has about 500,000 troops. This time, the oo6th Division annihilated the Mongolian cavalry to as much as 230,000, but the Mongolian troops were still about 270,000. And when cleaning the battlefield, there were no elite Mongolian cavalry." Sun Chengzong analyzed.&1t;/p>
"Although Mongolia is seriously injured in its vitality, it still has the power to fight, but it may have been scared by the oo6th Division." Mao Yuanyi speculated, and everyone nodded, and nodded no matter how strong the nerves were, facing the Ming machine gun firepower network. Which army has not collapsed these days?&1t;/p>
The technological progress of the Ming Dynasty has begun to crush Mongolia.&1t;/p>
"It seems that this time I personally went out to relax in spring." Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing, and laughter suddenly appeared in the command center, and the atmosphere was extremely relaxed.&1t;/p>
The difficult years of wind and rain have become the past tense, and now is the stage when Zhu Youxiao ruled the world. But for the Mongolian ruling class, this is the time of wind and rain.&1t;/p>
As the main Mongolian forces were severely damaged, no Mongolian cavalry came to harass the construction site for a while. A large number of Ming soldiers and workers rushed to build the construction day after day. The railways and towns along the way, and fortresses have been built in large quantities.&1t;/p>
In three months, the railway can be built to Ulaanbaatar, the capital of Mongolia in later generations.&1t;/p>
The weapons and equipment from the rear were continuously transported to the front line, and a large number of Central Army completed the dress change during the war. The longer the war dragged on, the larger the scale of the dress change of the Ming army, the more beneficial it was to the Ming Dynasty.&1t;/p>
At the same time, a large number of heavy artillery artillery were transported to the grassland, and these heavy artillery were installed in urban forts.&1t;/p>
The fort and machine guns are so solid that these towns are as solid as a stolen.&1t;/p>
With such defensive fortifications, even if the Mongols had a million troops, they could not get a city. It was only a matter of time before the Ming Dynasty completely occupied the grassland.&1t;/p>
At this moment, the Mongolian negotiating mission came.&1t;/p>
The two armies fought and did not kill the envoys. The Ming Dynasty still gave the Mongolian delegation certain courtesy and escorted them all the way. Zhu Youxiao immediately asked the Honglu Temple to form a negotiation team to start negotiations with the Mongolian delegation.&1t;/p>
It can be discussed, there is nothing that cannot be discussed. It is nothing more than the drama of starting a price on the ground and paying back the money on the spot. The negotiations between the two sides can be negotiated slowly, but the process of building railways and towns cannot be stopped. You can repair whatever you need.&1t;/p>
Anyway, no matter whether it is right or not, the Ming Dynasty fully takes the initiative.&1t;/p>
The Mongolian negotiating team first offered conditions at the negotiating table. As long as the Ming Dynasty withdraws its troops from Mongolia, Mongolia is willing to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, pay tribute every year, and immediately cut off its ties with the remnants of Jiannu, and assist the Ming Dynasty in destroying the remnants of Jiannu.&1t;/p>
"Maybe we can accept this condition before the war begins. But it is too late now. Since our Ming Dynasty has already soldiered to the grassland, the daily military expenditure is over one million yuan. Can you Mongolia afford such losses?" The Ming Dynasty negotiating team said very simply: "You can also want to cease the war. Let your Lin Dankhan lead your army to surrender, and all Mongolian soldiers put down their weapons and let the Ming Dynasty deal with it."&1t;/p>
"This is impossible." Mongolian negotiators stood up in anger. The Ming negotiators simply said: "Then see you on the battlefield, let's divide the difference!"&1t;/p>
"This, the Ming Dynasty has always been a country of ****. We, Mongolia, have fully realized our mistakes. Can't we live in peace?" The Mongolian negotiators immediately softened. They had no strong confidence at all.&1t;/p>
"Whether you surrender is irrelevant to our Ming Dynasty. As long as our Ming Dynasty builds the railway, there will be no place for you Mongolia. In just one year, our Ming Dynasty railway will be built throughout most of the grassland. At that time, you will not even have the power to sit at the negotiating table."&1t;/p>
The Mongolians were obviously stunned.&1t;/p>
"Impossible, how can it be done in one year?" Mongolian negotiators exclaimed, with disbelief on their faces. The negotiators on the Ming Dynasty simply took out the map and spread it out on the negotiating table.&1t;/p>
"Our Ming railway has been built in less than half a month, and your new royal city will be built in three months. In another three months, another horizontal railway can be built, and then you Mongolia will be cut into four pieces." Shaoqing of the Ming Honglu Temple who was sent to negotiate, laughed directly: "Haha, how can you Mongolia gain a foothold on the grassland at that time?"&1t;/p>
"No, we don't believe that your Ming Dynasty has such strong financial resources and can build so many roads and cities on the grassland." The Mongolian negotiators instinctively chose not to believe it, because the future blueprint drawn on this map is a decisive kill for them. (To be continued.)&1t;/p>
