"I won't cooperate." Lin Danhan said without hesitation: "I am a descendant of Genghis Khan, the current patriarch of the Golden Family. Being captured is embarrassing enough. If you surrender to you voluntarily, you will not know how your history books will laugh at me in the future. I will feel guilty and be in peace when I die."

"This is up to you."

The merchant army has won a great victory. It would be great to recruit exiled herdsmen below. If Lin Danhan can cooperate, it would be great. Even if he does not cooperate, he would just waste some time and energy, and it would not be very important. If he is a stubborn and hard-working person, he can just let go of his hands and feet and kill him!

Yang Sixun's indifferent attitude, Lin Danhan was also a little injured. He wanted to say a few more words to these Han generals, but the defeated general had no capital to be tough.

Moreover, many people rushed up from the rear at this time. A small group of cavalry surrounded some Mongolians in the middle. Behind them were a large number of baggage soldiers pushing the cooking cart. Wherever they passed, all the soldiers of the merchant army were cheering and thundering.

Lin Danhan also smelled the aroma of meat floating out of the cooking cart, and it was obvious that the merchant army had invested a lot of money in this meal. Of course, he didn't know that the merchant army usually ate this way, and it was indeed more abundant tonight. The main reason was that the soldiers fought for a long time and did it for a long time, and they were still hungry until now. If they were not good at eating well, they would cause a lot of resentment. The commander of the baggage soldiers in charge would definitely be impeached by the military judge, and the outcome would be bad.

"I'll give you some food to this sweat later." Zhou Yao saw that there was nothing to say, and pulled out his horse and left.

Yang Sixun also smiled and said, "Can you not tell anyone to say that we abused the Mongols' communist Khan, did you hear that?"

A brigade commander of a baggage brigade was in charge of Lin Danhan, and he agreed immediately.

Lin Danhan felt humiliated, but he was really hungry, and he didn't have the courage to commit suicide by going on a hunger strike, but he was very angry and could only lean on the inner wall of the cart, closing his eyes and silent.

The sound of horse hooves gradually approached, and someone stopped when they approached. Lin Danhan was angry, but he still opened his eyes and looked over.

It was getting darker, but many people were lit with torches and bonfires gradually lit up, so Lin Danhan recognized the person in front of him at a glance.

He said, "It's you, my good uncle."

He stared at the dejected nephew in front of him, and said for a while: "You think I am harming the tribe, but in fact I am protecting the bloodline of our Chahar people. Today's result is long ago destined!"

Lin Danhan glared and said, "Nangang, Su Tai, and Dou Tumen, they will flee north with their tribe members and Ezhe. We Chahar people will pass on the torch from the north and will never bow to Han'er as slaves."

He shook his head and said nothing. He knew that the nephew had committed an old problem again and thought he was self-righteous!

If it is easy to run, wouldn’t it be better to run with the main force before? The problem is that the elderly, weak, women and children cannot take away, cattle and sheep cannot take away, horses cannot take away, and felt bags cannot take away.

The light cavalry is heading north, it is okay now, but it is possible that some people can run out, and they can't die of freezing.

What to do when winter comes? It’s winter for half a year in the north, and the permafrost lasts for six or seven months. The world is vast, with no grass under the snow. There is no herd yet. There is no milk or meat supply. Even if you run out by chance now, how much will you survive?

Oroqen people have been hunting in dense forests with bows and arrows. Many Oroqen people have always lived in the snow and ice. They dig burrows and live in snowy houses. They are covered with fur to keep warm and eat meat without fire. They look very strong. In fact, the average life expectancy is definitely not as high as forty years. Most of them die in youth. They grow up to be young and will die in their prime. It is difficult for people to live to be over fifty. The average life expectancy of the Han people is not very high at this time, which is related to the death rate of newborns and the overall medical conditions. However, in a village with hundreds of people, it is not too difficult to find dozens of elderly people in their sixties, or even the elderly in their seventies or eighties. As long as it is a peaceful world, it is enough.

If the Chahars run north, they will survive for a while and will survive, and it will be better to die now, and at least be happy.

The big brain knows this truth, and the people around him know that Lin Danhan may also understand it in his subconscious mind, but as a big khan, he always has to keep his last hope for himself.

The queens are here, and the future Khan of Ezhe is here, and there are still some tribes, but Chahar has not been destroyed. From Genghis Khan to Emperor Shun of Yuan, then to Dayan Khan, Tumen Khan, and Lin Dan Khan, the blood ties that have been inherited in this lineage have not been cut off.

Of course, everyone, including the big brain, felt that Lin Danhan was delusional, just like he looked down on Nuerhaci, but was afraid of the Jurchens' military power, and couldn't help but want to get benefits. As a result, he sent Zaisai Taiji from Neikhalk to lead 10,000 troops to Chenyang City. At that time, the Jurchens had just captured Chenyang, which was guarded by He Shixian, and with one counterattack, they captured all five Taiji including Zaisai, and 10,000 cavalry were wiped out. Then Lin Danhan shirked the responsibility and ignored it. The five tribes of Neikhalkha used a large number of cattle and sheep to redeem several captured Taiji and herdsmen.

After that, the tribes did not want to follow Lin Dankhan, or the Chahar people's path to defeat began there.

He said calmly: "It is not difficult to do a stupid thing by one person, but the most difficult thing is to do a hundred stupid things in a row. From the time of Khan's succession to the present, I am afraid that more than one hundred stupid things will be spent. It is really surprising that he can make so many mistakes in a row and not repent."

Lin Danhan closed his eyes and said nothing. Some soldiers from the merchant army who could understand Mongolian language next to him laughed when they heard this.

...

Everyone had a good meal at night. The cooks kept the remaining fire under the cooking cart, and the cavalry who came back one after another had hot food to eat.

Canned meat, broth, steamed buns, boiled salted chicken and salted duck. This time, all the reserves of the merchant army were taken out, and the soldiers deserved this way.

The cooks left behind people on night because cavalry returned one after another. They were wearing torches and were exhausted, and the war horses were almost exhausted. Many people did not come back. Most of the people who returned halfway were ordered to take the prisoners back. It was said that they would only go back after midnight. They chased them out at least fifty or sixty miles from noon to dark. In addition, they ran more than a hundred miles a day. In addition, the preparations before the battle that started last night, as well as the long-distance marches before the victory, and the valves on people were loosened. Many cavalrymen still had food in their mouths, and they were already asleep on the grass.

There were people sleeping soundly everywhere in the camp, and only the reserve soldiers who stayed were not on duty, and they were relatively physically strong. They were ordered to stay at night. Of course, everyone understood that the Chahars could not come to the night attack, but the rules were rules after all, and the rotating personnel still received the new command for staying at night and implemented them meticulously.

After dawn, there were not many cavalrymen. They came back last night when they could rush back. Zhou Yao ordered the divisions to start dividing their troops and moving forward, respectively, where Chahanhaote City was the core, each division was responsible for the search work of 150 to 300 miles.

At the same time, it was planned to send Damao Da and others to promulgate the surrender everywhere. Damao Da was not sent out in a hurry. It was Zhou Yao and others who considered the confidence of completely attacking the Trichahar people and broke their backbone so that anyone who dared to resist had the opportunity to wave their swords and guns at this time. Only by killing those who dared to resist would be of great help to the rule below.

The Chahars could not be left completely on their current territory. This place is very important and not suitable for farming. After all, there are more than half of the hills and mountainous areas in the territory. Hutchison may leave a small number of troops here to guard it. Cooperate with the northern foreign cavalry and Barhu people, this land is considered to be Hutchison.

Perhaps when the grasslands are prosperous in the future, a large number of Han people will be planted here to build farms, but that may be a matter of more than ten or twenty years, or even longer.

A large number of Chahars will be moved westward and northward. Although the outer Khalkha tribes in the north surrender and surrender, they might as well mix sand to avoid the outer Khalkhas being on their own for a long time and will still be the cornerstone of uncertainty.

Moreover, Zhou Yao knew that this current ruling model was no longer suitable with the destruction of the Chahar people, and the senior management of the military department was already planning a new local political system.

Before dawn, the soldiers prepared a sumptuous breakfast again. After the soldiers of each unit started to move forward, they expected to walk all day today. Fortunately, the infantry became horse-riding infantry. Although they had trouble taking care of the war horses, they could save the soldiers' physical fitness. At the very least, they could put most of their equipment on horses. Walking lightly and carrying equipment on their backs are two different things.

The soldiers marching in columns were everywhere, and the ground was covered with gray robes and red robes. The artillery regiment did not follow the marching, and the gunners began to clean and nurse the artillery, so they had to be busy all day.

The large convoy began to follow the marching routes of each unit. They would set up a large base dozens of miles after the war, and then set up some supply and maintenance points. At this time, there was of course no road at Chifeng and Chengde areas, and there was not even a small path. There were only less than 200,000 people living in a large area of ​​more than 100,000 square kilometers. Even the Ming Dynasty at this time was only equivalent to the population of a small county.

Large areas are deserted and have no popularity, and it is normal to not be able to see a person by riding a horse for dozens of miles. Only when a large-scale event at the end of the year, or when a war or a turn, can you see groups of herders acting together.

In normal times, a felt bag stands up, and there will be another twenty miles away. Occasionally, large-scale people and horses pass by, and the traces of trampling will soon be covered by re-grown weeds.

This is a barren land, but fortunately it is very suitable for grazing. There are half of the plains with many rivers, which can be said to be very numerous. The Chahar people were not particularly satisfied with this place, but they could not find a better territory at that time.
