Chapter 713: Land cessation and compensation

Boritachi still called Hairigu.

The two of them came to the sheep pen with a torch, and saw tens of thousands of sheep from the arched rabbit's head curled up together, shaking in the wind and snow. The thick cashmere on their bodies obviously could not withstand the wind and snow.

Hai Rigu said worriedly: "Head, this is not enough. You have to find a valley to shelter from the wind."

Boritachi frowned: "You are talking about it with ease. It's deeper in the middle of the night, and the snow is heavy, and it's almost over. Where can I find a valley to shelter from the wind?"

Hai Rigu thought about it and said, "Then you can only make fire and drive away the cold."

"Okay, then make a fire to drive away the cold." Boritaichi nodded, "I'd better get through tonight first."

Fortunately, the Ulan Butong grassland is close to the mountains. In addition to picking up cattle, sheep, horse manure to make fire, the herdsmen can also pick up firewood in the mountains, so they have prepared a lot of dry firewood.

The two brought dry firewood and horse manure, and soon several bonfires were raised.

Just as he was about to drive the flock to the vicinity of the bonfire, Hairigu suddenly exclaimed lightly.

"What?" Boritachi asked with a frown, "Hairigu, why are you stunned? Come and help."

Hai Rigu stood without moving, and said in a deep voice: "Head man, I seem to see a pack of wolves, look ahead."

After saying that, Hairigu also pointed at the entrance of the valley.

Boritachina looked in the direction of Hairigu's finger, and immediately felt a stern.

Because the snow could not stop at this time, the snow fields outside the valley were fully visible and had a good view. You could see more than ten miles away from their location.

Of course, it is impossible to see that far.

Because it's night now, the light is not good.

However, with the help of the snow reflection, you can still see large vague black shadows hundreds of steps away.

After concentrating on his mind for a while, Boritaichina suddenly reacted and shouted loudly: "It's not a pack of wolves, but a human, it must be the dogs of the Khalkha tribe!"

Borithichina regarded the Ming army as the cavalry of the Khalkha tribe.

"Hurry up, blow the horn of the ox!" Boritachina yelled again, "Call the tribe members and prepare for the battle!"

Hairigu quickly picked up the horns he carried with him and blew them hard. In an instant, the low and long horn sounded throughout the valley.

However, it's too late.

When the horn sounded, the Ming army, who was sneaking in the dark outside the valley, immediately gave up the disguise and accelerated forward.

Soon, the Ming army came outside the camp of Gongtu. Thousands of Ming soldiers were carrying bayonets and lined up in wall-like lines, stepping forward quickly with neat steps.

"It's not the Khalkha tribe, it's the Ming dog!" Boritachina roared.

Immediately, Boritachina waved his scimitar and launched a charge towards the Ming army.

Boritaichi was undoubtedly a competent tribe leader. He dared to fight for the sake of the tribe and for the tribe, even if he knew he was defeated, even if he knew he was a death.

Zhu Cijiong, who led the team, couldn't help but admire him.

"Put his legs and grab the living." Zhu Cijiong shouted.

After the gunshots, Borita China's legs were shot several times in a row and fell to the ground immediately.

"Head man!" Hairigu threw away the horn and rushed over with a scimitar.

Another gunshot rang, and Hai Rigu was shot in both legs and fell into a pool of blood.

However, after Boritachina and Hairigu fell to the ground, they still waved their scimitars to try to resist.

However, this was simply futile. More than a dozen Ming troops quickly separated from the line array, and soon used the bayonet on the rifle to hold Boritachina and Hairigu, and then tied them up.

At this time, the herdsmen in the entire wintering camp were alarmed.

Not only the Gongtu Tribe, but also more than a dozen other tribes of all sizes.

Soon, scattered herders rode their horses to charge towards the Ming army.

But this is all futile. Facing the Ming army infantry lined up, the cavalry's cluster charge was useless, let alone the sporadic charges of dozens or hundreds of cavalry.

After being defeated for more than a dozen charges, the herdsmen began to turn.

Because the valley of the wintering camp is worn, in addition to the northbound exit, there is another southbound exit.

The more and more Mongolian herders gathered, immediately turned around and fled to the southward exit.

Unfortunately, this move is still in vain.

The southbound exit also sounded very quickly.

However, Hu Guozhu and another cavalry division had already blocked the southbound exit.

As a result, the 100,000 herders from more than a dozen tribes in Chahar Mongolia, plus one million cattle, sheep and livestock were blocked by two cavalry divisions of the Ming army in the wintering camp, and none of them ran away.

By dawn, the results of the battle will be roughly counted.

"King Ding!" Hu Guozhu came to report excitedly.

"I've made a fortune this time, and I've seized more than 100,000 horses this time!"

"Is that true?" Zhu Cijiong was also very happy, getting closer to the goal of 300,000 war horses.

After a pause, he asked with a smile: "What about the others? Are there cattle, sheep, camels, and herders? How many have they caught?"

"The others have not been able to be carefully counted." Hu Guozhu said, "But the approximate numbers are already known. There are more than 100,000 herdsmen caught, about 500,000 cattle and sheep, not many camels, but about a hundred."

"That's not bad, haha." Zhu Cijiong laughed, "The order was sent to the scout cavalry team to patrol for ten miles. The other cavalry brigades seized the time to raise a bonfire, slaughtered another 4,000 sheep, and asked the soldiers of the army to eat roasted sheep!"

"Abide by the order!" Hu Guozhu turned around excitedly after receiving the order.

"The King Ding has an order to slaughter four thousand sheep and eat roasted whole sheep!"

Zhu Cijiong's will was conveyed quickly.

Forty thousand soldiers immediately cheered.

...

Tokugawa Yoshinaga also arrived in Osaka.

The negotiation location is still on Zhou Yu.

Masato Hirota has been here once, so it is not as shocking as before.

But Tokugawa Yoshinata only looked at the big black ship from a distance before, and at this time he was able to see it up close, and the shock in his heart was beyond words.

The surface of this big black ship is actually covered with thick steel plates?

How thick are these steel plates? How heavy are they? They are not even heavy?

Also, what is the driving force of such a heavy black ship?

With a question mark in mind, Tokugawa Yoshinaga followed the Ming army leading the way and went up the top floor of the big black ship, namely the third deck, along the gangway. Then a huge deck appeared in front of him.

Tokugawa Yoshinaga estimated that it was at least thirty feet long.

The width of the deck is about five meters, and there are holes in the female wall holes on both sides.

However, what scared Tokugawa Yoshinaga the most was the more than 20 cannons on both sides.

In the Osaka Winter Formation more than half a month ago, his 100,000 army was destroyed by the Ming army's cannons. He still forgot the terrifying scene when the big black ship fired cannons.

Then the Ming army came forward to search Tokugawa Yoshima and his body.

Confirm that there are no weapons hidden on them, Tokugawa Yoshinaga and Hirota Masato were taken into the official hall of Zhou Yu.

Yoshina Tokugawa saw a man in his early thirties sitting casually in the official hall. The man just sat casually, and an indescribable aura appeared on his body.

Well, this is actually the feeling of oppression caused by the Ming Navy and Zhou Yu.

Tokugawa Yoshinata couldn't help but kneel down and greeted him respectfully: "A old middle-aged mansion under the command of the General of the Great Wild in the Sunrise Kingdom, and his wife's name Tokugawa Yoshinata, and he met His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty!"

After listening to Zheng Zhilong's translation, Chongzhen nodded and said, "Tokugawa Yoshinaga, right? Since your Tokugawa shogunate sent negotiators to negotiate again, it can be seen that he has the sincerity of negotiations."

"This is very good. Our Ming Dynasty also has the sincerity to negotiate."

"In any case, Japan is a country that is not conquered by Emperor Taizu Gao."

"If it weren't for your Japan being too much, I wouldn't want to lead troops across the sea to fight."

Speaking of this, Chongzhen continued: "In short, I have no intention of annexing your Japan, but if I do something wrong, I must accept punishment. Japan must compensate for the mistakes I made before."

After listening to Zheng Zhilong's translation, Tokugawa Yoshinaga was overjoyed.

After the opening remarks, the two sides began negotiations.

This time, Chongzhen gave Tokugawa Yoshinato room to bargain.

After some bargaining, Chongzhen gave the final bottom line: "First, ceding Osaka to the Ming Dynasty's garrison; second, opening up all coastal port cities of the islands of Japan, allowing merchant ships licensed by the Ming Dynasty to trade freely; third, compensation for five million taels of gold, fifty million taels of silver and 100 million jin of copper is the bottom line, but Japan is allowed to pay in installments, and the specific amount of the period is paid and the interest will be agreed upon by the two sides."
