Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 313
The Ming army cavalry continued to go deep into the hinterland, ignoring the temptation and harassment of the Mongolian cavalry at all. This naturally attracted Gonpo's attention, and he also understood the intention of the Ming army cavalry, and was immediately anxious.

It is impossible for them to abandon the tribesmen and ignore them. After all, they are also their family members. Without the support of the tribesmen, they themselves cannot last long.

Gonpo knew that although Khalkha was big, as long as the Ming army searched for it, it would not take long before they would be able to find the habitat of the tribesmen.

Facing the menacing Ming army, even the elite Mongolian army dare not easily confront them, let alone the unarmed tribesmen.

In desperation, Gonpo had no choice but to intensify the harassment, and even launched an offensive, but all ended in failure.

Because the cavalry of the Ming army were all composed of elites from the Eight Banners Army, Guanning Army, Dashun Army, and Daxi Army. More importantly, they were not only equipped with weapons such as swords, bows and arrows, and spears, but also equipped with a musket.

Often before the two sides engage in battle, the front cavalry of the Ming army will line up in a horizontal row for a round of salvo, and then launch an attack.

A round of salvo can cause a lot of casualties and psychological pressure to the Mongolian army, and the formation of the impact will also be greatly affected.

The front team of the Ming army cavalry took advantage of this opportunity to quickly launch a fierce attack. The Ming army cavalry, which is superior in the integrity of the formation and the strength of the troops involved in the battle, will quickly overwhelm the frontmost troops of the Mongolian army and bring them with them. The momentum continues to hit.

The Mongolian army of the rear team affected by the front team is often weaker in momentum, while the morale of the Ming army will be improved.

This rise and fall almost determines the direction of the battle.

Moreover, the Ming army's rear team will quickly detour to the flanks, first shoot a round with muskets, and then launch an attack.

The extremely high firearms of the Ming army took advantage, and the defeats of the Mongolian army were understandable. Gonpo also clearly realized the gap between himself and the cavalry of the Ming army.

Since he couldn't stop the Ming army's cavalry from advancing, he could only send someone back to the tribe as quickly as possible to inform the tribe to move first.

Cheng Gun, the leader of the Zhasaktu Khan tribe, has been closely monitoring the battle situation. His ministry also dispatched 1 people to fight with Gunbu, but they often go out to work and do not work hard, so the loss is not large.

Gonpo has lost consecutive battles, and the people of Zasaktu Khan's tribe will naturally report the situation as soon as possible.

At the same time, Cheng Gun was also informed by his own people that Daming was also trying to win over Gonpo to surrender as soon as possible.

After some thought, Cheng Gun immediately expressed his intention to surrender to Daming, and then at the request of Daming, he immediately sent troops to participate in the encirclement and suppression of the other two ministries.

The reason why Cheng Gong was able to make a decision so quickly was because he was completely convinced that the Khalkha tribe was no match for Ming Dynasty unless he gave up his habitat and fled north or west.

However, this is not the result he wants.

What's more, after learning that Daming is also wooing Gonbu to his heart's content, he can't sit still.

In case Gonpo let go of his promise to surrender to Daming first, the Prince of Khalkha would belong to Gonpo. Even if he surrendered to Ming, he would still have to be overwhelmed by Gonpo. This is not what he wants to see result.

Gonpo didn't know about Cheng Kung's sudden rebellion. It wasn't until the tens of thousands of Zhasaktu Khan cavalry under his troops suddenly attacked him that Gonpo knew that Cheng Kung had defected to Daming.

Without noticing, his troops suffered heavy losses. If it wasn't for his personal guards fleeing with desperate protection, he would have been captured alive in the camp of the Chinese army.

However, even after suffering such a big loss, Gonpo did not dare to stop and retaliate, because the cavalry of the Ming army came to support them immediately.

In desperation, Gonpo could only lead the remnant army to retreat, but on the way, he heard that Cheng Dun led the main force of his troops into his Tuxietu Khan's department. At that time, he was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.

So far, Gonpo knew that he had failed.

Now, either admit defeat to Daming and surrender, or flee north to Bu Li Ya Zi.

But at this time, Buriyat was being invaded by the Raksha Kingdom in the north. It had been fighting for more than ten years, and life was very difficult. Fleeing to Buriyat with the remnants of the army would inevitably lead to a fight to the death with the powerful Raksha Country.

As for surrendering to the Raksha Kingdom, Gonbu never considered it. The Mongols generally don't like the Raksha Kingdom in the north.

After all, the Mongolian ministries have closer ties with the Central Plains dynasty, and the former Mongolian Empire also lived in the Central Plains.

In the end, after discussing with Shuo Lei, the leader of Chechen Khan's tribe, Gonpo decided to lead the two tribes to surrender to Ming Dynasty.

Finally, it took more than four months for the Ming Dynasty to conquer the Khalkha tribe and incorporate the huge Khalkha into the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

Another good news is that when the Ming Dynasty conquered Khalkha, the Heshuote Khanate in the southwest of the Ming Dynasty expressed its intention to surrender.

In fact, the Heshuote Khanate was established less than ten years ago, and it was established in 15, the 1642th year of Chongzhen, by Gush Khan, the leader of the Heshuote Khanate.

And Gushi Khan expressed his intention to surrender to the Qing Dynasty in 1635 during the Huangtaiji period.

The reason why Gushi Khan took the initiative to submit to the Qing court was actually a strategy of long-distance friendship and short-term attack.

At that time, there were four tribes in Moxi Mongolia, namely the Heshuote tribe, the Junggar tribe, the Durbert tribe and the Torghut tribe.

Among them, the Heshuote tribe is still the leader of the four tribes, while Moxi Mongolia is being threatened from two sides, the northwest is invaded by the Raksha Kingdom, and the east is attacked by the powerful Khalkha tribe.

As the leader of the alliance, Gushi Khan took the initiative to submit to the Qing court, which also represented the surrender of Moxi Mongolia to the Qing court. He could unite with the Qing court to suppress the powerful enemy Khalkha, thereby protecting Moxi Mongolia.

After the Qing court entered the Central Plains, under the leadership of Gushi Khan, the Heshuote tribe also established the Heshuote Khanate. The territory of the Qing court directly bordered the Heshuote Khanate.

Gushri Khan and more than [-] leaders of Moxi Mongolian tribes paid tribute to the Qing court, confirming the sovereignty relationship. Qing version map.

But unexpectedly, the world is impermanent, and the thriving Qing Dynasty suddenly took a turn for the worse, losing Jiangnan all the way, and then being driven out of the Central Plains, until it was destroyed and incorporated by the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, the relationship between Moxi Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty was very close, but the relationship with the Ming Dynasty was somewhat estranged.

After the Qing Dynasty was destroyed, the relationship between the Moxi Mongolian tribes led by Gushi Khan and Ming Dynasty was very delicate, so they did not express their position in time, but only closely watched every move of Ming Dynasty.

He saw the Horqin and Barhu tribes surrendered directly, Dongxi Tumot were subdued after a brief resistance, and the Chahar tribe was defeated by the Ming army and occupied by the Ming army.

Subsequently, the Ming army fought with the Khalkha tribe, the great enemy of Moxi Mongolia. The powerful Khalkha tribe failed to gain any benefits in front of the Ming army, and could only retreat steadily.

Until then, Gushi Khan clearly realized that the Ming Dynasty was powerful, and it was no longer the corrupt appearance of the Chongzhen period.

Gushi Khan, who knew that after the Ming conquered the Khalkha tribe, would inevitably attack Moxi Mongolia, immediately discussed the future of Moxi Mongolia with the leaders of other tribes. In the end, almost all agreed to take the initiative to submit to Daming.

And shortly after they made it clear that they would surrender to Ming Dynasty, the Khalkha tribe was also conquered by Ming Dynasty.
