The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 314 Running away without a fight

The envoys sent to the Zasak tribe returned to the Chechen tribe's station only one day late, and at this time, the scattered Chechen tribesmen had gathered in a steady stream.

Seeing that the Ming army in the south really did not take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, Yatov was relieved while cursing the Han Chinese for being pedantic.

If the Han people attacked everywhere as soon as they came, their Chechen troops would definitely suffer heavy losses.

But after listening to the narration of the envoy sent to the Zasak Ministry, Yatov's heart sank again.

"Great Khan, Zah Khan must want to take advantage of the opportunity after we and the Ming army are both defeated."

"Ben Khan knew that the old fox Zah would definitely think he was smart and would not join us. He wanted to use this to consume the strength of our Chechen army, and then take the opportunity to destroy the Ming army and annex our Chechen army. But this time his Clever, you have to kill both our Chechen department and their Zasak department."

Yatov sighed, he knew this would be the result, because if it were him, he would probably choose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first,
Based on what they've been investigating for a while, he's sure that the other side will still have the strength to defeat the Zasaks after they wiped out their Chechens.

Only the combination of the two can compete with it.

"Khan, why don't we tell Zah Khan all the facts we have found out, and explain to him that although the army has only more than 4 people, it is very powerful. Our Chechen army alone can't stop it. Once the opponent is eliminated If they let go of our Chechen department, they will definitely not let their Zasak department go."

Herut thought for a while and said that he had been to the camp of the Ming army and knew the strength of the Ming army best.

"Do you think that old thing would believe it?"

Yatov smiled wryly, although he was too clear about the character of his old opponent Zah Khan.

Knowing that no matter how much you say at this time, the other party will just stand still and wait for their Chechen troops to fight against the Ming army.

The rest of the big and small leaders in the account were also silent.

For several days, there was still no movement from the Zasak Department, and the negotiating envoy sent to the south of the Ming army camp was driven back again. Yatov also showed determination on his face, and finally made a decision.

It's just that the decision made made all the clansmen turn pale with shock, and there was an uproar.

"Khan, although the weather is getting warmer now, the water near the North Sea is still dripping into ice, which is not suitable for survival. If they move there, countless cattle, sheep and horses will be killed and injured, and our Chechen army will also be seriously injured."

"That's right, Khan, now is the season of reproduction, so you must not migrate."

"Our Chechen Ministry has a population of nearly 8, and [-] knife warriors. Those Han people may not dare to fight us bloody. Once we move away, if they reach an agreement with the Zasak Ministry and occupy our pasture , my Chechen troops will never come back.”

All the big and small leaders of the Chechen Ministry were begging and persuading. They didn't expect that the Ming army hadn't killed them yet. The Khan was hundreds of miles away and would flee without a fight. He took them directly to the North Sea. Evasion was beyond everyone's expectations.

Not to mention that most of the livestock and women are pregnant at this time, it is not suitable for long-distance migration at all, not to mention that although the area in Beihai is rich in aquatic plants, it can only graze for two or three months a year, and it is impossible to survive at other times.

Especially in the cold winter, the elderly, children and livestock could not survive at all, so almost everyone did not agree to move to the North Sea.

After all, even if the Han army really came, as long as they didn't back down, the opponent might not dare to start a real war.

Faced with the opposition from the tribe, Yatov's attitude was not shaken in the slightest, but patiently explained: "This time the Han people are different from the past, and their attitude is very tough. Obviously, when their emperor came, he gave them They must be ready for a bloody battle with our Chechen troops. Not only do they have [-] Mongolian cavalry, but they also have hundreds of chariots and cannons.

Once the war starts, regardless of whether our Chechen tribe can win the opponent in the end, the warriors in the clan will be seriously damaged, and they will no longer be able to fight against the Zasak tribe.

And if we immediately move to Beihai now, although we will suffer some losses, all the warriors in the clan can be preserved, and the Ming army will definitely not chase after them, and most likely will target the Zasak tribe again, as long as the two sides start a war , our Chechen Ministry will be able to move back again before winter, and by then, our Chechen Ministry will be the most powerful. "

Yatov clenched his fists at the end.

As long as they hide near the North Sea now, after those Han Chinese wiped out the Zasak tribe, even if they don’t retreat before winter, their strength is damaged, and in addition to the severe winter, their Chechen tribe can completely unite with the remnants of the Zasak tribe. It is not impossible for the prodigal to fight back, and finally to eliminate these Han people, and it is not impossible to rule Mobei.

After listening to Yatov's explanation, everyone fell into deep thought. It was obvious that everyone was not stupid. What Khan said was indeed reasonable. After the final weighing, all the leaders nodded and agreed to move.

Yatov was also overjoyed, and after discussing for a while, he asked everyone to go back and prepare for the migration to the North Sea tomorrow. Fortunately, all the Chechen tribes had gathered here at this time.

Seventy-eight million people and millions of animals gathered in this small area. It was okay for a short time, but after a long time, if they did not disperse to graze the animals, they would starve to death. Once they were dispersed to graze, the cavalry of the Ming army It will definitely kill a pass, and will not care about sneak attacks or not.

This is also the reason why Yatov made up his mind to move, because the Ming army who came here is no better than the Zasak tribe and other Mongolian tribes. They don’t need to graze, and people and horses can eat food, so they stay there and don’t come to beat them. Energy can kill them.

Since most of the population in Chechnya had just migrated here, it saved a lot of trouble, and the migration started at noon the next day.

Different from the previous migration while grazing, this time the Chechens moved very fast. Pregnant women and children sat in carriages, and non-pregnant girls and women rode back and forth on horseback to drive cattle and sheep. In just two days, he followed the Aruhun River and arrived at the foot of the continuous mountains. As long as he followed the river and crossed the mountains, he could reach the southern end of the North Sea after walking more than 200 miles.

Of course, the Chechens paid a great price for such a rapid migration. There were countless pregnant mares, cows and sheep that fell along the way, which made all the tribe feel distressed, but they could only cut them off with tears in their eyes. Some meat and leather, discard the carcass, and continue on the road.

Fortunately, it is only April now, women are not pregnant for a long time, and Mongolian women are much rougher than Han women, even if they sit on a carriage for a long time, they are not affected much, and some even ride on horseback. Helping herd cattle and sheep, if the pregnant women of the Han family saw this, their jaws would drop in shock.
