Clamping his fists, Ortai looked at the guard kneeling in front of him. Although the guard was not a Mongolian, but a man of Manchu like him, he was not at all displeased when reporting the news, but instead showed relief.

Seeing this scene, Ortai's anger suppressed him. He slowly sat back on his chair, looked at the guard in front of him and said with joy: "Get up, the ground is cold."

"Thank you, Prince." The guard kowtowed and then got up.

“Where did this news come from?”

"Reply to the prince's words, they just came from the south. After hearing this, the young man was worried that the prince would not know, so he came to report immediately." The guard replied.

Ortai nodded and asked again: "What's going on outside? What's the reaction after hearing this news?"

The guard was stunned and soon understood what Ortai meant.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. In fact, everyone has long been thinking about living a peaceful life. Now the Qing Dynasty is not a monarch or a minister, but we slaves don't say it, but we all understand it in our hearts. To put it bluntly, the prince is not only for himself, but also for everyone. Everyone supports the prince for this." The guard said in a low voice.

In fact, as this personal guard said, the Qing army or Manchus in Mongolia did not have much awe for the current Qing court, and even said they were loyal.

Since Prince Yong became the regent, some changes in the Qing court have spread to Mongolia, and the Qing court killed Geng'er again. At the same time, he ordered Ortai to divide his troops, return to the northwest and return to the Qing court, and go to Liaodong and return to Prince Yi.

What does such an action mean? Not to mention Ortai, everyone with some political sensitivity knows it. Moreover, the Ortai army is very good and has a high prestige among the army. After retreating to Mongolia, compared with the Qing army in Liaodong and northwest, the Mongolian troops were not as good as when they were in the Central Plains, but were much better in material support.

At the beginning, these Manchus had the idea of ​​fighting back to the Central Plains to revive the Qing Dynasty, but now they survived was their most urgent hope. The strength of the Ming army could not even compete with the Qing Dynasty, which was the lord of the Central Plains, not to mention the Qing court today.

More importantly, no one knows whether Emperor Jianxing is dead or alive. After Prince Yong took office, he extorted all dissidents. If he continued to follow Prince Yong, he would probably either become cannon fodder or perish with the Qing court. In this case, these Manchus naturally had to think about their own way out. Now Ortai surrendered to the Ming Dynasty and conferred King Shunyi, which means that the sharp sword that had been hanging above their heads had disappeared.

Ortai looked a little dazed. He didn't expect that after the news of his enthroned King Shunyi spread, his subordinates supported more. What does this mean? It means that the hearts of the people have dispersed! Once the hearts of the people are dispersed, it will be difficult to lead the team.

Not to mention your subordinates, even those Mongols are not happy these days? Batu, who had come to complain before, doesn't say anything now, but instead starts a business with the Ming merchants. Therefore, interests are the most important. Once Ortai does not accept the Ming Dynasty enthronement, not to mention the reactions of his subordinates, I am afraid that the Mongols who were originally suppressed will not agree.

The anger before has gradually subsided, and Ortai is thinking about what to do next.

After thinking for a while, Ortai finally made up his mind that at this time he could no longer clearly refuse the enthronement of the Ming Dynasty. If he did this, he would not only push himself into a desperate situation, but also possibly lead to a murder.

The purpose of the Ming Dynasty to do this is very simple. What we need is to determine the positioning of the monarch and ministers of Mongolia and the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time support a so-called Shunyi King to come out to control Mongolia.

If I refuse, not only will I block my retreat, the Ming Dynasty may be more willing to see the chaos in Mongolia. When the Ming Dynasty can completely support a Shunyi King again, but whenever I will lose any value, this is a result that Ortai absolutely does not want to see.

Waving his hand and letting his personal guard go down, Ortai had an idea in his mind, and this idea was the only thing he could do at the moment.

Two days later, Ortai gathered the generals under the tent, and the reason for convening this meeting was naturally for the so-called military action, but in fact, Ortai wanted to use the reasons for this meeting to eliminate some unstable factors.

When generals at all levels came as scheduled to prepare to attend the meeting, Ortai, who had already prepared, took action without hesitation. He imprisoned two generals, five guerrillas and more than a dozen middle and lower-level officers in one go, and then directly dispersed all the troops of these people and handed them over to his trusted confidants.

While taking action, conflicts are inevitable, but this kind of conflict is no problem for Ortai, who has been prepared for a long time. After easily dealing with possible internal problems, Ortai immediately contacted the Mongolian tribes to win the support of the princes and Taiji of the Mongolian tribes.

For surrendering to the Ming Dynasty, this matter is actually nothing to the Mongols. After all, since the collapse of the Mongol Empire, the entire Mongolia has never been unified again. Even in the Ming Dynasty, Mongolia was divided into two or three major forces when it was the strongest, and it was no longer as glorious as the Mongol Empire.

The war decades ago led to the shattering of the dream of the Junggar tribe of unifying Mongolia, and the subsequent Mobei War caused the three Mobei tribes to be killed in name only. Now the Mongolian tribes are like a mess, and the princes and Taiji of each tribe are all considering their future. In addition, the powerful Ming Dynasty is in the south, who is not worried that the Ming army will attack?

For the Mongols, seeking to rely on the strong is their way of survival. When the Central Plains dynasty was strong, it was a disaster for the grassland nations. In order to survive, seeking to rely on the strong is a matter of course, and it is worth it even if it pays some price.

Therefore, most Mongolian tribes agreed with Ortai's decision to surrender to the Ming Dynasty and the entire Mongolian surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. This way, the threat from the Ming Dynasty would no longer exist, and the smooth trade routes could also help the Mongolians get rid of the current troubled situation. Why not do this?

News from all parties has been heard one after another, and there are many Mongolian tribes who directly support Ortai to surrender to the Ming Dynasty. Some tribes have not made a complete statement for the time being, but have not opposed surrender to the Ming Dynasty. This is equivalent to making a default.

But there was still a tribe who maintained opposition and even cut off the ears of the people sent by Ortai and drove out the people. According to the news brought back, the tribe not only did this, but also criticized Ortai as a traitor. As a Manchu, not only was he disloyal to the Qing Dynasty, but he defected to the Ming Dynasty, and betrayed the entire Mongolian, and everyone was punished.
