Guihua City is located south of Yinshan Mountain and east of the Yellow River. It was a sweat city built by the Tumut tribe in the past with a lot of effort.
It is said to be Khan City, but in fact it is inferior to ordinary county towns in the Central Plains region. Now it has changed its owner. The tribe of ten thousand people under the Tuxie Tu tribe first occupied the vicinity of Guihua City.
"Bat'er, Ben Khan asked you to send an envoy to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty. Do you have any response?"
"Dear Agula Khan, I have followed your order and sent an envoy to the south to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty, but so far there has been no response, and the envoy has not returned, and..."
The leader of the small tribe who first came to Hetao was named Bater. When faced with the question of Tuxietu Khan, he had no choice but to answer honestly.
The Tuxie Tu tribe is the smallest among the three tribes in Mobei, with a total population of only nearly 60,000. Among them, the tribe of the Great Khan Agula accounts for nearly 20,000, and the remaining 40,000 belong to more than ten small branches.
Tribe, and Battelle is the second branch of the tribe after Agula in strength. Only then did they want to break away from Agula's control and go it alone. But now the entire Tuxie Tu tribe has moved over, and the Ming Dynasty that originally planned to rely on it has yet to come.
In response, Battelle had to give up the idea of dominating the Loop alone.
"And what?" Agula frowned. A few years ago, near the Liao River, he and his warriors followed the Jurchens and fought against the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was far more powerful than their Tuxie Tu tribe could provoke.
So this time when his family moved here, the first thing they had to do was to make good friends with the Ming Dynasty. He was even ready to profess vassalage to the Ming Dynasty emperor and request for canonization in exchange for the Ming Dynasty allowing them to live here.
According to his understanding of the Han people and the Han emperors, it was impossible for the Han emperors and those ministers to refuse such good deeds, and would probably reward them with a large amount of wealth. They would never respond as slowly as now.
"And there is a Ming Dynasty army in the east, heading towards Guihua City. The strength is about 30,000, including Han Chinese and us Mongolian cavalry."
Battle said carefully, as soon as he arrived in Hetao, in addition to sending envoys to the Ming Dynasty, he always paid attention to the situation in the east.
After all, the Tumut tribe had moved to the east. After learning that his hometown was occupied, he would probably come back to fight, so he had to be careful.
"What?"
When Agu La heard that the Ming army was coming, his expression suddenly changed. It would be difficult for his Tuxie Tu tribe to gather 30,000 warriors together. If the opponent's attackers were unkind, they would never be able to defeat them.
What's more, he decided to move his entire family here because he wanted to rely on the Han people to obtain a better living environment and quickly expand the tribe's population. He didn't want to fight with the Han people at all. Once a war broke out and the two sides became enemies, then moving here would be a waste of time.
There is no point anymore, it is better to stay in Mobei.
The dozen or so leaders behind Agula were also panicked when they heard that the Ming Dynasty not only did not respond, but also directly sent an army of 30,000 people towards this direction, and they obviously did not want to start a war with the Han people now.
.
Because their Tuxietu tribe couldn't afford to bother them, let alone Ming Dynasty's plan to take action personally, even if they didn't take action, they would not be able to bear it by inciting the Tumed tribe to attack them.
"Great Khan, we must have just moved here like this, which angered the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and made him mistakenly think that we were provoking. We should send an envoy to explain it quickly."
"Yes, Great Khan, we have just moved here, we must not go to war with the Ming Dynasty!"
"It's useless. I have sent several waves of envoys, but they have not come back. They must have been detained by the other party."
Battle shook his head. He sent three waves of envoys to meet with the Ming Emperor. Later, the Ming army came from the east, and he sent two more groups of envoys to negotiate, but there was no response from that army.
He had no intention of stopping.
"How far is that Ming army from here?"
At this time, Agula also realized that something was wrong, and Ming Chao's reaction was completely beyond his expectation.
"We will arrive in six or seven days at most."
"Damn, how could it be so fast!" Agula finally panicked. They had just arrived here after a long journey, and they hadn't even taken a breath. They had no ability to continue returning to Mobei.
"Great Khan, what should we do? The Ming Dynasty's army obviously came with bad intentions."
"Oh! If I had known it, I wouldn't have come to the Loop."
Many of the leaders felt regretful and began to complain about Agula, bringing the tribe into a desperate situation.
If they are all Han people, they are still confident that they can use their cavalry to defeat the opponent, repel the Ming Dynasty's attack, rest and recuperate until next year, and then move back to Mobei.
But now there are a large number of Tumut cavalry in the Ming army. Let alone defeat the opponent, even if they run, they may not be able to escape. After all, the Tumut troops are more familiar with the environment here than they are.
After some final discussion, Agula had no choice but to send an envoy to negotiate with the Ming army again. If the Ming army still ignored them, they would have no choice but to fight, and they would definitely not be able to escape.
But two days later, Tan Ma, who was investigating to the west, brought back bad news. An unknown tribe of fifty or sixty thousand people actually occupied the back cover.
Fortunately, this tribe, whose size is not inferior to their Tuxietu, is neither Han nor Mongolian, and must have just migrated here.
Agula immediately decided to send an envoy to negotiate.
This unknown tribe was naturally Huihui who moved from the Ningxia area in Xitao. Indeed, they had just arrived when they discovered that Qantao had been occupied by a group of Mongolians. They were also shocked.
Since Wu Sangui's army marched towards Ningxia, the more than 100,000 Huihui people living here were also divided into two groups. The stronger group decided to negotiate with the Ming Dynasty first, and then go to war if they could not reach an agreement.
The weaker faction suggested moving to the rear and front areas to avoid the Han people. After all, the Han people were now at the peak of their military strength and could not be resisted by manpower. If they fought against each other, they would only end up destroying themselves.
The two factions were in a stalemate, and as the Han army was getting closer and closer, the weaker faction decisively chose to move and escape, while the stronger faction had already begun to prepare for war, and even contacted Han military attachés in Ningxia, hoping to fight against the imperial court together.
The result can be imagined. Although the military attachés of various guard stations in Ningxia did not want to relocate and wanted to continue to be the emperor, no fool would do such a thing as uniting foreign races to fight against the imperial court and destroying the nine races.
There are a total of five guards in the Ningxia area, including front, rear, left, right, middle, and three guard posts for thousands of households. They have thrived for more than two hundred years. Even though a large number of people were lost in the war in the late Ming Dynasty, there are still more than 200,000 military households in total, almost
All the commanders and Qianhu decided to wait and see what would happen.
I want to see if the imperial court can defeat the Huihui. If they directly suppress the Huihui, there is no need to say that everyone should quickly pack up and return to the Central Plains. If the imperial army has not fought, then their chance will come.
His Majesty will change his mind and let them continue to be stationed here.
