Chapter 358 Happy Cooperation

Mandu Lai is still a little confused.

Even though he was sent to Anguo with his hands tied.

But this right-wing Mongolian lord still couldn't understand it.

He looked up at An Guo and subconsciously asked, "What kind of firearm is that?"

Anguo also had a smile on his face, because the Ming army won this battle easily.

In addition to deliberately showing weakness in the early stage, which resulted in the death of many soldiers, the soldiers of the Beijing army later began to use firearms and artillery. Whether it was the brave and skilled Wu Liangha Zazai or the right-wing cavalry with unparalleled riding and shooting, they were almost crushed by the Beijing soldiers. The army fights and the soldiers slaughter!

In other words, in the face of firearms and artillery, the once arrogant era of the Mongols has completely ended!

And this will also be the greatest confidence for the Ming Dynasty to once again explore the Hetao and even the grasslands!

"That's the standard firearm of our Ming Dynasty army!"

"As for the rest, I can't say much more. You just need to know this!"

Standard firearm?

In other words, will the Ming army be equipped with these terrifying firearms?

In this way, how can we go south to rob Ming people in the future?

I’m afraid I don’t even know how I died!

For a moment, Mandu Lai was a little desperate.

He never thought that with these terrifying firearms, the Ming army would turn from weak two-legged sheep into wolves capable of slaughtering them!

Those five thousand men were killed one after another by the Ming army's weapons before they even managed to enter the city!

How to fight this battle?

There is no hope of winning!

Mandu Lai was completely desperate.

"Just kill me!"

"kill me!"

These were his last thoughts.

He didn't want to face this cruel fact anymore, he just wanted to die with the five thousand warriors.

But Anguo smiled and shook his head.

It took so much effort to finally capture Mandu Lai alive. How could it be possible to kill him?

"Mandu Lai, you are the lord of the right-wing Ordos tribe in Eastern Mongolia. In order to maintain the power of the lords with different surnames, you strongly opposed Dayan Khan's unification of Mongolia and the implementation of reforms, so you joined forces with Lord Yongshebu and did not assassinate Dayan Khan's second son and newly appointed Right-wing Jinon (Prince) Urosbrot, right?”

Hearing this, Mandu Lai trembled again, and a trace of panic flashed across his eyes.

The Ming army has not always been hiding in the Great Wall. They have already explored everything on the grassland!

"What exactly do you want to say? Do you still want me to surrender to the Ming Dynasty?"

"Why not?" Anguo's smile did not diminish, looking very confident.

Mandu Lai sneered and said mockingly: "If it weren't for these terrifying firearms, my tribal warriors could completely crush you, humble Huza!"

Huza, this is a scornful name for the Han people from the Mongols, just like the "Little Mongolian Prince", it is a scornful name for the Mongolian Khan from the Han court!

Ever since Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty expelled the barbarians and restored China, there has been a bloody feud between the Han and the Mongols. Not to mention that Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang conducted thirteen Northern Expeditions, and Emperor Taizong Zhu Di conducted five more Northern Expeditions, which were extremely popular for a while. The Ming Dynasty defeated the Mongols so much that they kept scurrying southward and had to move elsewhere to survive.

When the Ming Dynasty was at its peak and declining, Wala took advantage of the situation and went south to attack the Ming Dynasty. Grand Master Wala also captured the Ming Emperor for a time, and rushed to the outside of the capital of the Ming Dynasty. He almost destroyed the Ming Dynasty and regained control of the Central Plains!

Although he failed, it also proved the weakness of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, wars raged on all sides, and countless Mongolian tribes went south to plunder and harass. The blood feud between the two sides became even more intense and irreconcilable!

Only these bastards from the Ulyanha tribe would abandon their dignity as Mongolian warriors, beg for mercy from the Ming Dynasty, and then rebel repeatedly.

As a noble lord of the right-wing Mongolia, how could Mandu Lai surrender to the Ming Dynasty just to save Gou Quan's life like Wu Liangha Zazai did?

"Don't waste your efforts!"

"I, Mandu Lai, am the beloved son of Changshengtian, and I am also the great lord of Mongolia. Even if you kill me, I will never surrender!"

As a proud Mongolian lord, Mandu Lai will not be allowed to bow to the Ming Dynasty and serve as a dog to the Ming Dynasty!

Hearing this, An Guo frowned subconsciously.

He is suitable for arranging troops to fight on the battlefield, but persuading people to surrender is really not very professional.

So Anguo wisely found Wang Qiong, who has a low moral bottom line.

When Wang Qiong was in danger, he looked at the ferocious-looking Mongolian lord and said some chilling words.

"Mandu Lai, right?"

"You are the lord of the Ordos tribe on the right wing of Eastern Mongolia, but now you have lost five thousand elite cavalry!"

"I think these five thousand warriors are also from your Ordos tribe, which means you have successfully put your tribe into crisis!"

Wang Qiong lazily said: "You formed an alliance with Nayabula, but it was only because Dayan Khan wanted to eradicate you big lords with different surnames and restore the Golden Family's rule over the Mongolian grasslands. The two parties were forced to form an alliance due to the situation. of."

"Now that you, Mandu Lai, have not only been defeated, but also your entire army has been annihilated. So the Ordos tribe has been damaged. What do you think Yibula will do once the news gets back?"

"Will Yibuza mobilize all his right-wing troops to avenge you? Haha, I'm afraid the friendship between the two of you can't reach this level yet!"

"So the most likely thing that Yibula will do is to lead his Yongshebu tribe to annex your Ordos tribe before you go back, and become the largest tribe on the right wing of Eastern Mongolia. Isn't this kind of tribal conquest and annexation very common among you Mongolians?"

"In this case, you, Mandulai, will be the sinner of the entire Ordos tribe!"

Wang Qiong's words successfully made Mandulai very irritated and furious!

He knows Yibula, his ally, better than anyone else!

Because Yibula is a lunatic!

The reason why Mandulai formed an alliance with Yibula, as Wang Qiong said, was just to keep his power as a great lord, and he didn't want to be eliminated by Batu Mengke!

But Yibula is different!

This lunatic not only wants to protect himself, he also wants to learn from Yesen, kill Batu Mengke, and then unify Mongolia, become the Khan of Mongolia himself, and create the second "Golden Family"!

In those days, Yesen captured the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, entered the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and almost destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Although he failed in the end, Yesen also gained a high prestige on the grassland, and Wala flourished for a time.

But no one expected that Yesen was also a madman. After he returned to Wala, he was at odds with the puppet Khan Toghtobukha.

Although Toghtobukha was Khan in name, the actual power was in the hands of Yesen. Yesen was self-reliant and coveted the Khanship. Toghtobukha's wife was Yesen's sister. Yesen wanted to make his sister's son the crown prince, but Toghtobukha refused. The two sides fought fiercely, and Toghtobukha was defeated and fled.

After Toghtobukha's death, Yesen took the opportunity to call himself "Da Yuan Tian Shengda Khan", established the title "Tian Yuan", and regarded himself as the successor of "Huang Yuan", breaking the Mongolian traditional concept that non-golden clans could not be called Khans on the grassland, and became the first Khan in Mongolian history who was not from a golden family.

This influence is huge and devastating.

Because the Mongolian Khan must be born in the Golden Family, even those puppet Khans supported by lords of different surnames are also descendants of the Golden Family, at least the bloodline of Genghis Khan!

However, Yesen is not, he is just a great lord of the Oirat, but he dares to usurp the title of Khan and regards himself as "Huang Yuan"!

In other words, Yesen opened the precedent of lords of different surnames usurping the title of Khan!

From then on, the sacredness of the Golden Family was shattered by Yesen!

All powerful lords of the tribe can follow Yesen, not respect Genghis Khan, not respect the Golden Family, and usurp the title of Khan!

The consequence of this is that the Mongolian tribes will fall into chaos and fighting again, and no one can restrain and mediate!

Just like before Genghis Khan rose, the entire grassland was filled with war and blood!

Yibula is such a madman!

He wants to emulate the Oirat Taishi Yesen and usurp the title of Khan!

This means that if there is a chance, Yibula will definitely not care about the old friendship and will definitely annex his Ordos tribe!

When he thought of this, Mandulai's face suddenly became extremely ugly!

He didn't want to become the sinner of the tribe's demise!

But what should he do now?

Do he really have to surrender to the Ming Dynasty?

"Actually, you don't have to surrender!"

"Because of the repeated rebellions of the Wuliangha bastards, my Ming Dynasty has also lost trust in you Mongolians!"

"So we can choose to cooperate. We will let you go back and even provide you with money, food and weapons to strengthen your Ordos tribe!"

Wang Qiong's words directly made Mandulai unable to do it.

What does this mean?

Is there a pie in the sky?

"Why do you do this?"

Mandulai asked a soul-searching question!

He didn't believe that these Ming people would be so kind!

Not only let him go back, but also provide him with support?

"It's very simple. My Ming Dynasty doesn't want to see Dayan Khan unify Mongolia!"

An Guo took over the conversation and gave a reason directly.

"It is most beneficial for our Ming Dynasty to split the grassland and fall into civil strife, or to maintain the previous chaotic situation. At least there will be no strong enemies."

"But once Dayan Khan defeats you and annexes the right wing of Mongolia, a unified force will appear on the grassland, just like the Wala tribe led by Yesen in the past. This is something that our Ming Dynasty absolutely cannot tolerate!"

Mandulai seemed to understand.

"So you want to support me and provide me with military equipment and money, just to let me continue to fight against Batu Mengke?"

"That's right!"

"Hehe, aren't you afraid that I will lead the tribe to surrender to Batu Mengke directly? At that time, all your plans will be fulfilled by him!"

An Guo frowned when he heard this, but Wang Qiong laughed out loud.

"Will you?"

"Definitely not!"

"Because you are a great lord of a different surname, and you are the one that Dayan Khan must eliminate!"

"Once this person has tasted the sweetness of power, he will never give it up easily. Otherwise, how could you, Mandulai, form an alliance with Yibula?"

Mandulai was silent.

He really would not give up his power to help Batumengke unify Mongolia!

So Mandulai put forward his request, and he spoke shamelessly.

"I want your firearms, and the cannon just now!"

An Guo and Wang Qiong looked at each other, and then they all laughed out loud.

Wang Qiong stretched out his hand to Mandulai and said with a smile: "We can discuss it!"

Mandulai subconsciously extended his hand, not being used to the etiquette of these Han people.

“Then, happy cooperation!”
