Ezhe took 10,000 Chahar cavalry to leave Beijing and prepare to leave Datong and return to the west of the desert.

In the Ming army camp in Datong, Ezhe met Li Guodong.

"General Li, Ben Khan helps you expel the Jurchens, but your court's rewards are too stingy, right? Ben Khan and his men fought to death, and won more than 2,000 heads. Your court only gave him a reward of 10,000 taels! Is this a beggar?" Ezhe shouted at Li Guodong angrily.

After asking about the situation, Li Guodong realized that the court originally didn't want to give a single copper coin, and the excuse that Ezhe entered the pass without permission from the Ming court. Later, Lu Xiangsheng returned to meet the saint and persuaded the ministers in the court. Then he barely took out 10,000 taels of silver to Ezhe, and then gave Ezhe a useless oral reward.

Ezhe took 10,000 taels of silver to buy grain. Who knew that the price of grain in the capital had risen to nearly three taels of silver per stone. Ten thousand taels of silver were taken out and only less than four thousand stones of grain were exchanged for.

"Ezhe Khan, Li can't control the affairs of the court. But we can compensate you. Mr. Lu has retained the trade route for Khukou, and I can provide you with food at a low price."

"Hahaha!" Ezhe laughed in anger, "So what about the business path of killing Hukou? Isn't it profitable for the naturalized Tumote people? Ben Khan has long disliked him! General Li, you are a Han man, don't worry about the matter on the grassland in the future! Through this matter, Ben Khan has seen through it. None of them are reliable, whether they are Tumotes, Khalkhas, or you Han people! We Chahar people have to rely on ourselves! Ben Khan has also seen through it! "

Ezhe pointed northward with a horse whip: "My sons, follow me back to the grassland!"

Looking at Ezhe's back as he left, Li Guodong felt a sense of sadness. It has been seven years since his transformation. For seven years, he has tried his best to unite the Mongols to deal with Jiannu, but the Ming court did not cooperate at all. There was Yue Tuo's conspiracy outside, and the seven-year achievements were ruined! The Mongolian tribes were destined to be split, and they were eventually defeated by the Qing Dynasty. Li Guodong could only do nothing about this.

"Give up outside the border, we all go back to the Ming Dynasty." Li Guodong sent an order.

"Brother, did you give up like this?" Han Dashan couldn't believe his ears. "We have been carefully planning outside the Great Wall for seven years and have achieved great results. We have killed countless Jiannu, but now we have to give up like this. Isn't that a pity?"

"Isn't it sad that seven years of hard work destroyed? But what can we do? The court has no money and can't even give Ezhe. I have also interrogated the captured soldiers who were captured. They were wearing tattered and dirty mandarin duck war jackets that were too dirty to see through their colors. They deducted military pay and could not even eat food. Even a small scholar could bully them! Kong Youde rebelled, and his soldiers stole chickens, but they beat eighty military sticks and inserted arrows to the camp, and were insulted. But they surrendered to Jiannu, and Jiannu gave them land, gave them silver, distributed slaves, and gave women. This is why the same person had no combat power in the Ming Dynasty. When he went to Jiannu, he suddenly became an individual."

It is not that the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are really that trash. Just imagine that each person can only take two taels of silver and have to work hard for the court. Moreover, the two taels of silver have to be deducted for seven or eight. One tael of the remaining one is good. In addition to supporting the family, one tael also has to buy military uniforms, armor and weapons. How much can you leave? Serve for one tael of silver? Life is too worthless, right? But after joining the Qing Dynasty, the treatment is more than a hundred times better than in the Ming Dynasty.

People in this era had no national concept. As for shaving their hair and changing clothes, ordinary soldiers didn't care about shaving their hair and leaving their braids. They just had to eat enough to get married and marry a wife. The gentry of Jiangnan really refused to shaving their hair and changing clothes. However, in this era, those gentry of Jiangnan still had not seen the Qing Dynasty swallow the Ming Dynasty and still embezzled the country's wealth to fatten themselves. By the time the Qing Dynasty was put on their necks, everything was too late.

Lu Xiangsheng returned to Datong shortly afterwards. He brought Li Guodong the imperial edict and reward from the court. Chongzhen ordered Li Guodong to return to the Senei to station in Xiangling and be appointed as the general of Xiangling. Originally, Li Guodong believed that it would not be too much to be granted a title with his own merits, but he did not get the title he wanted.

At this time, Chongzhen had not yet begun to give titles. In real history, Emperor Chongzhen was in March of the 17th year of Chongzhen, when Li Zicheng's army approached the capital, and began to make wholesale titles. Wu Sangui, Zuo Liangyu, Liu Zeqing, Tang Tong, and Huang Degong were all named Bo, hoping that they could go to Beijing to serve the king, but no one went to Beijing to serve the king. It would be fine if Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu were too far away. Tang Tong, the closest one, joined the thief, Wu Sangui and Liu Zeqing delayed their delay and refused to go to Beijing to serve the king, which led to Chongzhen finding the Coal Mountain Wrangle Tree.

It doesn’t matter whether Li Guodong has a title or not. The titles at this time are still very valuable. I guess by the time Chongzhen can give him a title, the titles have begun to spread.

"Brothers, we are ready to go back. After the New Year, we give up the foreign country and move all back to the Ming Dynasty!" Han Dashan shouted in his voice.

"We can finally return to the Ming Dynasty with justification!" Many veterans who had been following Li Guodong for seven years were filled with tears. Some of them were rescued by Li Guodong after the Jisi Incident and took them out of the Great Wall. Some of them were victims and military households who could not survive in northern Shaanxi. They also followed Li Guodong. Although they followed Li Guodong to the Great Wall, they could eat enough and their lives were much better, but after all, the Han people were home-loving, and the world outside was not as good as the poor Ming Dynasty. After all, it was their own home.

Three thousand heavy cavalry and three thousand camel firearms were out of seclusion. This time, it was the last time I went back to the Touhu City. After the Chinese New Year, all the cities and garrisons outside gave up. Li Guodong's 10,000 troops, 2,000 craftsmen and more than 20,000 families were to move back to the Ming Dynasty and stationed in Xiangling south of Taiyuan. He was always waiting for the dispatch of the Governor Lu Xiangsheng, the Xuanda Governor.

The Qing army returned to Liaodong and restored the Mongolian name Subude Li Hong, who brought the surrendered Han Munu and Tumote people to the Duoyan Grassland, separated from the Tumote tribe, and established a new Tumote eastern part. This place was next to the Korqin tribe, and in fact they were allowed to accept supervision from the Eight Monarch Banners. Li Hong brought 600 people into the banner and became the Eight Monarch Banners. Many personal guard agents also followed Li Hong into the Eight Monarch Banners and became Li Guodong's inner support in the Qing Dynasty.

When the Qing army returned to Liaodong, the Eight Banners of the Korqin Meng also returned to their own tribe. When the Manchuria, Mongolian and Han Banners of the Qing Dynasty were preparing for the New Year, the Eight Banners of the Korqin Meng relaxed the arrows to Li Hong's east of Tumote. Zhang Wei proposed to take the opportunity to escape back: "Second brother, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Jiannu's surveillance on us is relaxed, and we brothers have to go back."

Li Hong nodded and said, "Sixth brother, you are different from me. I have been mingling with the Mongolian Jurchens for almost seven years and have long been used to contacting them. You should be a general who charges and is useless to stay here. When it gets dark, I will turn a blind eye. You guys quickly steal the horse and go back."

The weather was cold, and the Duoyan grassland was frozen for thousands of miles. Looking around, it was a vast white area. The people of Korqin, who were loyal to the Qing Dynasty, felt that in this weather, the surrendered Tumote tribe would not cause any trouble for them, so they relaxed their vigilance. However, considering that Hang Gao and his confidants were in the eastern part of Tumote who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they were sincerely surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Wei and the others wanted to escape back, so they were more careful and had to avoid the eyes and ears of those people.
