What this man said made the other Mongolian leaders look surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, they found it reasonable.
Isn't the reason why they often raided the Ming Dynasty's border gates to obtain food for the winter? If the Ming general in front of them can really do what he said, then why do they Mongolians risk their lives?
How about attacking the Ming Dynasty border?
For a while, these Mongolian leaders were lost in thought, and soon two more Mongolian leaders expressed their willingness to cooperate with Zhu Gui.
On the side, Togu Si Timur and Yesudier were dumbfounded. It seemed that they still overestimated the Mongolians' unwillingness to compromise.
Zhu Gui smiled and looked at Tuugusi Timur and Yesudie'er beside him and said: "If you two are still unwilling to cooperate, then I don't mind the trouble and just cooperate with the leaders of these tribes. Although
It’s a bit troublesome, but I have plenty of time.”
"I am willing to cooperate." Yesudie'er is still thinking, but Tuogusi Timur has already taken the lead and agreed to cooperate with you.
The leaders of other tribes in the camp also rushed to express their willingness to cooperate with Zhu Gui.
When Yesudier saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh. He had been trying to replace Togu Si Timur for decades, but he didn't expect that this famous young prince could do it overnight.
.
So he knelt down on one knee and said to Zhu Gui, "If the prince does not dislike it, and if the prince can fulfill his previous promise, then I am willing to become the prince's right-hand man."
"Okay, very good. Then I will reiterate my vision in front of all the Mongolian leaders, which is to unify the entire grassland and reproduce the great achievements of Genghis Khan in the past."
After Zhu Gui finished speaking, it was the turn of the other Mongolian leaders present to be stunned.
In this way, Zhu Gui's surprise attack completely changed the situation in the entire grassland, and then completely controlled the territory of Beiyuan in his hands.
But even so, Zhu Gui still did not relax his vigilance. He asked Yesudier to transfer the 50,000 Mongolian cavalry in the camp to another camp a hundred miles away. Then Zhu Gui sent a letter to Xu Yingxu through a carrier pigeon.
He explained the situation here and asked him to lead 10,000 cavalry to come here to meet him.
Although half of the Ming army supports Zhu Gui's side, which still occupies a weak position in terms of military strength, with the Ming army's firearms and city defense construction, it is more than enough to stop several Ming army's Mongolian cavalry.
Yes, Zhu Gui wants to build a city here, just like the one outside Ayutthaya City. Firstly, it can facilitate the Datong Chamber of Commerce and the Mongols to conduct business. Secondly, it can also prevent the Mongolians from having other ideas. At the same time, it can also open up the Ming Dynasty and the Western Regions.
traffic arteries in the direction.
After this battle, Zhu Gui completely conquered the Northern Yuan Dynasty, but how far the cooperative relationship between the two parties can progress depends on whether Zhu Gui can provide enough food and gain the trust of the Mongols.
The most difficult thing was how Zhu Gui explained all this to Zhu Yuanzhang.
After all, the Ming Dynasty snatched the world from the Yuan Dynasty, and the hatred between the Mongols and the Han people was deep. Moreover, Zhu Gui did not revoke the reign title of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and still let Tuogu Si Timur and Yesudieer manage respectively.
The entire Beiyuan territory.
He did this firstly to facilitate the management of the Mongols, and secondly to pave the way for the 'Jingnan Campaign'.
But he couldn't explain this to Zhu Yuanzhang. Although this time Zhu Gui achieved an unprecedented victory since the Ming Dynasty's war against the Mongols, how to make Zhu Yuanzhang believe his explanation was a key issue.
However, it is useless to think so much now. Zhu Gui cannot guess Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts. He only knows that Zhu Yuanzhang will clear all obstacles for Zhu Yunwen to ascend the throne of David, and he cannot become this obstacle.
Two days later, Xu Yingxu hurried over with ten thousand cavalry. When he saw the scene in front of him, the excitement in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
"My lord, you really did it. You are really amazing. Even in history, this is an unprecedented victory." Xu Yingxu said sincerely.
Zhu Gui just nodded and said: "Okay, the rest will be left to you. General Xu needs to stay here for a while. As for how to negotiate with the Mongols, I have already written it in this letter. The rest
All we have to do is wait for the construction materials and craftsmen to be delivered here by the Datong Chamber of Commerce."
"Yes, the general will take your orders." Xu Yingxu said respectfully. From this moment on, he had sincere admiration for the acting king Zhu Gui in front of him.
Zhu Gui led a thousand Yunzhou troops towards Nanjing City overnight.
As for the matters in this area, just leave it to the surrounding border guards to clean up. Naturally, they won't complain about this one being a fat man.
This time, after ten days of long journey, Zhu Gui and others finally arrived at the gate of Nanjing.
However, what surprised him was that Zhu Yuanzhang led all the civil and military officials out of the city to greet him in person. Zhu Gui quickly dismounted his horse and came to Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage and said: "Fortunately, I have lived up to my command and completed the task assigned by my father."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Gui who was kneeling in front of him, nodded with relief and said: "Okay, very good, I have already read the memorial. You can make such a great contribution, which can be regarded as a face for the Ming Dynasty. Follow me back
Palace, I will have a grand banquet for all the ministers to welcome you and wash away the dust."
"Yes." Zhu Gui was allowed to ride a horse and follow Zhu Yuanzhang's chariot back to the palace. This was an unprecedented treatment.
Historically, this treatment originally belonged to General Lan Yu, but at this time he could only look at Zhu Gui with resentful eyes among the civil and military officials, as if he sensed that the other party had taken away the honor that should have belonged to him.
Zhu Gui seemed to have sensed Lan Yu's gaze. He turned around and smiled slightly at the other party, saying with his lips: "Thank you, General, for your help."
Lan Yu seemed to understand what Zhu Gui wanted to express, and was so angry that she almost fainted to the ground.
Soon they returned to the palace. At this time, all the dishes prepared for the banquet had been arranged, and the music and dancers also began to perform, making it look like they were singing and dancing.
During the banquet, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Gui, who was sitting on his left, and asked: "I heard that you captured the empress of the Yuan Dynasty named Togu Si Timur? Did you bring him back?"
Zhu Gui immediately stood up and said: "Back to my father, my sons left him on the grassland and let him continue to rule the Mongols."
"Nonsense, aren't you letting the tiger go back to the mountain? You are still too young to know the dangers of people's hearts. Can the Mongolians be easily trusted?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked furious, and everyone in the palace immediately fell silent. They knew what Zhu Yuanzhang's look meant, that someone was going to be unlucky.
