Signed to Zhu Cihong, Prince of the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 289 Chapter 289, Zhu Cihong summoned the general, and He Shuote will be persuaded to surrender?

During the decades of confrontation between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were quite a few traitors in Ming Dynasty.

Thinking about it, I know that the Jianzhou Jurchen, the predecessor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was just a group of mountain people who came out of Changbai Mountain. What do they know about establishing a national system and ruling the people?
But these things are precisely what the Chinese civilization in the Central Plains does not lack.

Therefore, many Chinese people in the Central Plains went to become slaves of the Qing Dynasty for the sake of prosperity and wealth.

If the Ming Dynasty published a "traitor list", Fan Wencheng would be at least in the top three, if not number one.

So when Zhu Cihong saw Fan Wencheng for the first time, he didn't plan to let this person live for a long time.

The traitor must die!
Although Chaolu was defeated, Heshuote still had more than 2 soldiers and horses escaped.

If the [-] Heshuo special cavalry were assembled again, it would still be a very troublesome matter for Zhu Cihong.

"Battle and everyone else are here, take a seat." Zhu Cixiang greeted Battle and several Xining Guard leaders in front of him with a smile.

Basically, all the people who are useful in the Xining guard cavalry gather here.

When these people sat down one by one, they were respectful, and they could even be called fearful.

People on the prairie respect the strong most. In yesterday's battle, the strength of the Musketeers under Zhu Cihong's command undoubtedly taught all the Xining Guards a very profound lesson.

If the leaders of the Xining Guard respected Zhu Cihong in the past because of Zhu Cihong's status as the "Prince of the Ming Dynasty", then the reason why the people of Xining Guard respect Zhu Cihong today is that they recognize Zhu Cihong as a real strong man from the bottom of their hearts.

In front of the strong, the weak should grovel!
Zhu Cihong could also see this atmosphere, but he didn't try to alleviate it deliberately.

Sometimes, majesty is indeed more useful than kindness!

Zhu Cilang said with a smile: "Everyone, you and Heshuote have been regarded as neighbors in the past few years, and there must be some contacts between you, right?"

After hearing Zhu Cihong's words, everyone present was taken aback for a moment, and then one of the oldest leaders hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, we do have some contacts with the Heshuote people, but we have never betrayed any of the Ming Dynasty. People or secrets, Xining Guard is completely loyal to the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Cihong nodded slightly, thinking to himself that if you didn't know that you were indeed loyal to Daming in history, would you really think that this palace would feel relieved to take you by my side to fight?

Zhu Cilang said with a smile: "I am not suspicious of you, but I want to persuade the rest of the tribes in Qinghai to surrender. You are all Mongolians. If you carry out this work, it must be better than the ones sent by me. The effect of going to the Han people in Daming is much better.”

Zhu Cihong's words immediately surprised everyone present.

"To persuade the Heshuote people to surrender?" Battelle said in shock: "Your Highness, haven't we just fought against the Heshuote people?"

Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and said: "Yes, and we also defeated the Heshuote people. Think about it, if these Qinghai Heshuote people were allowed to flee south to Lhasa, where Gushi Khan's organization would be Become our enemy again.”

"In this case, why don't we just persuade them to surrender and become our minions, and use them to destroy Gush Khan in Lhasa?"

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, the scene became extremely quiet for a moment.

Everyone had complex expressions, and they were all digesting the news that Zhu Cihong had thrown out.

Zhu Cihong was very calm, waiting patiently for a reply.

In fact, it is not that Ming has never recruited Mongolian tribes in history, such as the Qinghai Guards in front of us, and the Duoyan Sanwei in western Liaoning.

But in history, Daming's solicitation was quite extensive. To put it simply, "Your tribe recognizes Daming as the eldest brother, and I will give you a piece of land to use as pasture. No one else will invade you."

What situation does this lead to?That was when the Ming Dynasty was strong, but once the Ming Dynasty declined, would the Mongolian tribes who occupied the grassland of the Ming Dynasty still be loyal?
The Duoyan tribe used facts to prove that once the Ming Dynasty declined, the Duoyan tribe immediately took refuge in the Qing Dynasty and accepted a new master.

So Zhu Cihong wants to change all this.

People in Xiningwei may think that after Ming conquered Qinghai, they would give Qinghai to the various tribes of Xiningwei as pastures, just like the Duoyan tribe back then.

But Zhu Cihong didn't intend to do that at all.

What Zhu Cihong has to do is to station officials and troops in Qinghai to truly control this land.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong not only needed force, but also needed to create some factions among the Mongolian tribes in Qinghai.

For example, the "Heshuote" and "Xiningwei" factions.

There are disputes between these two factions, but at the same time they surrender to Daming, so they have no way to reject the actual rule of Ming.

Some people are going to say that this is not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, the two factions will come to an end. Doesn't the winner have to support himself?

Zhu Cixiang's answer is impossible.

Because before that, Zhu Cihong will assimilate all these people, slowly remove these tribal leaders, and finally realize that all herdsmen are only under the jurisdiction of Ming officials and only obey the orders of Ming.

By that time, Qinghai will completely become the territory under the rule of Ming Dynasty and become one of the new "two capitals and fourteen provinces" of Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Cihong wasn't even worried that the Xiningwei people would notice his intentions and resist.

[-] musketeers are here, so why do you resist?
The heads and captives of [-] Heshuote people are here, what will Qinghai Wei use as courage to resist?
What does it mean that power grows out of the barrel of a gun!
After a while, Battelle coughed and said seriously: "Since His Highness has an order, the general will naturally obey it. The general is indeed still in contact with several tribes at Heshuote, but he doesn't know that they died this time. Is it gone? If they are not dead, maybe they can be persuaded to surrender."

After Battelle made a start, the other leaders of the Xining Guards also said one after another: "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will try my best to persuade you." "I am worried that they will not surrender sincerely, and then they will implicate us." "Yes, yes. "

Zhu Cilang smiled and said: "It's okay, as long as you can persuade them to surrender, it will be a great achievement. How they behave in the future has nothing to do with you."

When everyone heard this, they felt that the persuasion to capitulate was nothing but meritorious service. Don't make too much money. Naturally, they all agreed to it.

After everyone dispersed, Zhu Cihong smiled and looked at the British Duke beside him: "British Duke, what do you think of my palace's handling this time?"

The British Duke directly gave a thumbs up: "Your Highness's move is really wonderful!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, like two foxes.
