The vast grasslands!
"Forward."
"Now that the Tatars have lost their strength, move the Tatar tribes into our Oirats."
"Listen well."
"From this day onward, submit to our Oirats as subjects and herd livestock for the Oirats."
"The Tatars can no longer stand against the Ming Kingdom. Only by merging into our Oirats can you endure."
"Join our Oirats, and the Oirats will naturally protect you."
Still within Tatar territory, on the road toward the Oirats.
A great number of Oirat cavalrymen were driving tens of thousands of Tatar civilians toward Oirat lands.
Clearly.
The Oirats no longer cared about Tatar territory. After all, remaining within Tatar lands meant they might have to face the Ming Dynasty. If they confronted the Ming Dynasty, they would be dragged into this war, and the loss would outweigh the gain.
In their view.
Once the Ming Dynasty withdrew its troops, taking Tatar territory and pastures would be effortless.
After all, the Tatars had been utterly crippled.
They simply could no longer contend with them.
Through this campaign.
The Oirats might even unify the steppe and restore some of Great Yuan's former strength.
At the very least.
That was what Choros, the current Great Khan of the Oirats, thought.
Avoid a direct clash with the Ming Dynasty and seize as much of the Tatar population and as many tribes as possible.
That was the fundamental purpose.
Yet in truth.
With the Ming Dynasty invading deep into their lands, the tribes and people within Tatar territory were also filled with fear toward the Ming Dynasty. Though the Oirats were forcing them into Oirat territory, they did not resist much. Instead, they were quite willing, for they were of the same people to begin with.
After reaching the Oirats.
Their treatment might not match that of
