"Sutai Dafujin has gone to Shenyang with Empress Wu, and will soon go to the Central Plains to settle down. Now that all the tribes in Monan have been wiped out by our empire, I ask you to make up your mind where Chahar will go. General Zuo Shi asked me to tell you, Those who manage current affairs are heroes, so don’t seek death.”
Guan Zechang, the representative of the Second Cavalry Division, entered Guihua City easily.
What surprised him was that half of the residents of this city in the grassland were Han Chinese.
But if you think about it, you will know how the Mongols know how to build a city?
When Anda Khan and Sanniangzi surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between the two parties was good, so many Han people were attracted to come here to cultivate and settle, so that the Guihua City could be built.
But now this city is not a good thing for the Chahar tribe.
The pampered Mongolian nobles are accustomed to living in houses with a nice environment, and it is difficult for them to adapt to the harsh and simple yurts.
When the National Defense Forces called, they were asked to abandon their mansions and run around in the ice and snow. Many people were embarrassed and could not accept it.
But if they don't run away, with the current weak strength of the Chahar tribe, how can they withstand the attack of the Second Cavalry Division?
Just hearing that 50,000 cavalry were pressing down on them made all the princes and nobles of Chahar turn pale and tremble.
Abu Nai, who was still young, even had no idea.
He looked around and placed his hopes on others.
"What do you think?"
It's a pity that the bravery of the Chahar tribe has long since disappeared, and now those who are left are just survivors. If they are allowed to decide important matters, it can only be said that Abu Nai entrusted them to unworthy people.
Seeing these people noisy for a long time and unable to make up their mind, Guan Zechang had to knock on the table to suppress the noise.
"I would like to advise you that our army's patience is limited. If you do not reply within three days, you will be treated as prisoners of war after the war."
The cold warning seemed to put a knife on the neck, causing Abu Nai and others to remain silent and feel the crisis even more.
In the early morning of the next day, just when Abnai reconvened the various leaders to discuss countermeasures, the shaking of the earth made Guihua City like a small boat in the strong wind and waves, and it seemed that it could capsize at any time.
Abu Nai and others climbed up the city wall in horror, and then saw overwhelming cavalry sweeping in from the east. They then divided into several groups, bypassed Guihua City, and besieged the entire city.
"Didn't you say it for three days? Why doesn't your army keep your word?"
Abu Nai was shocked and frightened, and completely lost his composure.
Although he was surrounded by Mongols, Guan Zechang showed no fear, on the contrary, he was full of momentum.
"The three days agreed are three days, but the only choices our army gives you are to fight or surrender. What if you run away?"
All the Mongolian princes wanted to cry without tears.
They originally thought that the three days mentioned by the Second Cavalry Division meant that they would attack after three days, so they neglected to take precautions.
Unexpectedly, the Second Cavalry Division caught them off guard. They crossed the mountains and forests at night and surrounded the entire naturalized city.
The people on horseback lost the space to escape and turn around, and completely became turtles in an urn.
There is no hope of escape now, if you resist...
Looking at the cannons deployed one after another outside the city, all the Mongolian princes quickly gave up this terrible idea.
They don't want to die easily.
"We are willing... willing to seek peace!"
"From now on, the Chahar tribe will swear allegiance to the empire, remain loyal, and will never betray."
Starting from Abu Nai, everyone rushed to flatter Guan Zechang, just for a chance to survive.
It's a pity that yesterday was different from today.
Guan Zechang stood proudly, and what he said made everyone in the Chahar tribe completely lose hope.
"Since our troops have reached the city, you have no way to escape. Your only choice now is to lay down your weapons and surrender unconditionally."
Yesterday we negotiated peace, but today we can only surrender.
This is determined by the battlefield situation.
If Chahar's troops were more decisive yesterday, they could even flee westward. Although we don't know what the consequences will be, they will definitely cause trouble to the Second Cavalry Division.
But now Guihua City has been surrounded by groups. Facing the extremely sophisticated weapons of the Second Cavalry Division, they have no capital to negotiate peace.
While they were talking, shouts and killing sounds suddenly broke out at the south city gate, and a commotion broke out.
When Abu Nai and others looked at it, they couldn't help but feel cold all over.
It turned out that the Han people in the city, who had long been unable to bear the oppression, heard the news of the arrival of the National Defense Forces outside the city and launched a riot.
The Mongolians near the city gate were looking outside the fearfully guarded city, with their entire backs exposed.
As soon as the Han people were attacked and killed, the city gate was about to be lost.
Just as a Mongolian prince was about to order the dispatch of troops to quell the rebellion, Guan Zechang looked at him coldly.
"Are you still going to fight stubbornly? Your chances are running out."
Others rushed forward and held down the Mongolian prince, preventing him from seeking death.
Compared with his father Lin Dan Khan, Abu Nai is far behind. In the critical situation, his will completely collapsed.
With everyone looking at him expectantly, he tremblingly took off his knife, lowered his head, and presented the knife to Guan Zechang.
"I beg the angels to tell the general of our country that we are willing to surrender."
Guan Zechang entered the camp alone and successfully forced the Chahar tribe to surrender. He was extremely proud of having accomplished such a great achievement.
He grabbed the knife and told Abu Nai and others: "Put up the white flag, open the city gate, and go out of the city to accept the surrender."
After a while, a white flag was set up on the wall of Guihua City. Then the city gate slowly opened, and Abu Nai led all the princes, nobles and soldiers to the outside of the city in despair.
More than 5,000 Chahar soldiers dropped their weapons one after another, and then stood aside obediently, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
A large group of cavalry came over and first surrounded the Mongols. Then they divided their troops into the city to guard key points, while at the same time quelling the riots in the city and appeasing the residents.
After finishing all this, Zuo Shicai stepped forward proudly under the admiration of a group of generals.
"Since you did not choose to resist, surrender honestly, and abide by the prior agreement, your lives and property will be guaranteed."
Upon hearing the solemn promise made by the commander-in-chief of the National Defense Forces, all the Mongolians were happy and relieved.
Zuo Shi ordered again: "Now go back and pack your belongings and set off for the capital, where His Majesty will arrange your future life."
Of course, what the empire did in Monan Mongolia will be done again in Chahar.
Of course, all the princes and nobles who might be an obstacle must be moved away.
Under heavy military force, they were not allowed to resist. They had no choice but to embark on the road, bidding farewell to their homeland and their people.
They don't know yet that they will never come back for the rest of their lives.
