Chapter 544, Prerequisites

With a sad face, Battle led more than 200 cavalry belonging to him to the Barbarian Department out of ten miles to welcome the arrival of Liu Jin, Wang Shouren and others.

"The equipment of the Ming army is so sophisticated, all of them are armor~"

The distance between the two sides grew closer, and Battle looked at the huge team that glistened in the sun.

The whole person couldn't help but marvel.

It has not been a year or two since he dealt with the Ming army, and when he was young, he often led the army south and fought with the Ming army.

But the previous Ming army was different, in his cognition, the equipment of the Ming army was very poor, not to mention the armor, and even the swords in his hands were broken copper.

But the Ming army in front of him, all armored, with a musket on his back, a saber pinned to his waist, and more importantly, the spirit of this cavalry was definitely something he had never seen before.

Such a neat procession was like a torrent of steel moving silently on the grassland, and even if it was a distance away, it could still feel the heavy pressure it brought to people, as if a huge dark cloud was enveloping it.

Liu Jin was wearing a crimson robe, riding on a tall horse, holding a telescope in his hand, and he was also carefully observing everything in the barbarian department.

"It seems that last year was really badly injured, this old old, young and young~"

"I hope you get to know each other, and don't let me go on a killing spree."

Liu Jin thought silently in his heart, it was obviously not okay to slaughter the old and weak women and children, but if the Nai Barbarian Ministry was unwilling to abide by the newly formulated policy of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Jin had to do so.

There's no way around it.

Now if they don't take advantage of the weakness of the steppe people to subdue them, when they recover their breath, they will also raise their butcher knives again to slaughter the Central Plains.

There is so cruelty between civilizations and between races.

In the past, every time the grassland people went south, tens of thousands of people died, and more than 100,000 or hundreds of thousands of people also died.

"The Barbarian Tribe's Batel led the whole clan to welcome the Great Tomorrow's Envoy~"

Soon, the two sides met, and Battle came to Liu Jin and Wang Shouren with his own people, put his right hand on his left chest, and said with a slight bend.

"Let's be rude~"

Liu Jin said with a smile.

"Lord Xie~"

Seeing Liu Jin smiling all over his face, he seemed to be very talkative, and Battle and the others were also slightly relieved.

"Haven't asked your Excellency for your name?"

"My name is Liu Jin, and this is Wang Shouren~"

Liu Jin introduced to Battle with a smile on his face.

"Lord Liu, Lord Wang!"

Battle hurriedly saluted again.

The group exchanged pleasantries again, then each mounted their horses, and under the leadership of Battle, they slowly rode towards Battle's camp.

"Battle, the scenery of this grassland is so beautiful~"

Liu Jin and Battle walked side by side, Liu Jin looked at the beautiful grassland scenery and said with a smile.

"If Lord Liu likes it, you might as well stay on the grassland for a few more days, so that I can do my best as a landlord."

When Battle heard this, he hurriedly said enthusiastically.

"Forget it, the grassland in summer is not the most beautiful time, the autumn is the most beautiful time for the grassland, and the cattle and sheep on the grassland are also the fattest time at that time."

Liu Jin smiled and shook his head and said.

"Lord Liu used to come to the grassland?"

When Battle heard this, he was slightly surprised and hurriedly asked.

"Haha, of course I've been to the grassland, the grassland people are hospitable, can sing and dance, and they are all true temperaments, which makes people forget to return."

Liu Jin remembered the scene of traveling to the grassland before traveling, and his impression of the grassland people was still very good.

"Lord Liu, it will be autumn in a few months, and please come to the grassland as a guest at that time, I will definitely slaughter the fattest cattle and sheep, and entertain the adults with the most beautiful girls."

When Battle heard this, he immediately said with a slight excitement.

The young Lord Liu in front of him, he actually knows so much about the grassland, and it seems that he likes the grassland very much.

"Haha, I'll definitely come to the grassland to have fun when I have time."

Liu Jin laughed happily.

Soon, everyone came to Battle's camp, and suddenly the whole camp began to become extremely lively.

The people brought by Liu Jin began to set up camp, very skillfully looking for open space, setting up tents, and also using chariots and horses and other things to build a defensive circle.

As for Liu Jin and Wang Shouren, they were welcomed into their big tent by Battle.

"Battle, your ministry wants to attach itself to our Daming, and our Daming is willing to accept your dependence, but there are conditions."

After some greetings, Liu Jin also officially started to talk about business.

Hearing Liu Jin's words, the originally lively tent immediately quieted down, and all the nobles and leaders of the barbarian tribe hurriedly put down the wine, beef and mutton in their hands, and listened carefully. Latest

"Please make it clear~"

Battle was also slightly nervous, as expected, this time, Da Ming's side may not let their life be too easy.

In the past, the grassland tribes were dependent on the Ming Dynasty, and they could live a good life in a small way, and they relied on the Ming Dynasty to trade with the Ming Dynasty, and they grew and developed rapidly.

But this time, the vitality of the Tatar tribes was greatly damaged, and the Ming Dynasty carried the power of a great victory, and it would definitely not be too good to want to attach to the Ming conditions.

What's more important is that there are 5,000 cavalry coming over this time, do you really think these 5,000 cavalry are here for dinner?

"Attach yourself to me, Da Ming can~"

Liu Jin nodded slightly, and then said slowly.

"First, all the nobles and leaders of your barbarian tribe, my Ming Emperor, have rewards and canonizations, but you must move to the capital and Tianjin to settle down, and our Ming will provide you with a mansion."

It was only the first one, and Battle and the others were dumbfounded when they heard it.

This is to put them under house arrest in the capital, and to separate them from their tribes.

"This won't work~"

"Can't promise~"

Without any surprise, before Battle could speak, the others spoke first, shaking their heads and saying, looking very angry.

"Isn't this putting us under house arrest, what's the difference between this and a wolf in a cage."

"I must not agree, I will die on the grassland even if I die."

"Yes, I can't agree, this is a conspiracy of the Ming people, who knows if they will kill us after we go."

Battle's face was equally ugly, and the first condition alone made it very difficult for him to accept.

If this goes to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, he is still the leader of the barbarian tribe?

He has become a rootless tree and a sourceless water, and he has become a fish and meat on the board of the Ming Dynasty, which can be slaughtered by others.

"My lord, this condition is too harsh, and we will not agree to it."

Battle said very seriously.

"You will agree, because this is a prerequisite for you to attach yourself to our Ming Dynasty, if you don't even agree to this, this attachment will not be able to be discussed, and our Ming Dynasty will not accept your dependence on the barbarian tribe."

Liu Jin smiled, looking indifferent.

"If you don't attach it, you won't be attached, it's a big deal that we will go to the Warat people and go to the Heshute Department~"

"Yes, you must not agree, the Ming people are definitely not well-intentioned."

"Chief, if you don't attach yourself to the Ming Dynasty, we can survive on the grassland, it's not a big deal."

The nobles of the Nabarian Department shouted again, and the atmosphere became tense.

"My lord, if we are attached to Daming, this condition must be agreed?"

Battle said very seriously.

"Yes, I have to say yes."

"Of course, you can rest assured, our Ming Dynasty will definitely treat you well, and you can also go back to the Barbarian Department from time to time, our Ming just wants to learn from the Tang Dynasty, the sea is inclusive, and there is tolerance."

"In the future, our Ming Dynasty will also recruit many warriors from your dependent grassland tribes to fight for our Ming Dynasty, and after attaching ourselves to our people, you will be our own people."

"You will also be my officials and nobles of the Ming Dynasty, you can go to the court, you can fight for the Ming Dynasty, and you can be added to the rank and rank if you have merit."

Liu Jin nodded seriously and said, "Because we treat you as our own people, that's why we have such a request." ”

"In our Ming Dynasty, an official from a certain place can't go back to his hometown to be an official, the reason is actually the same."

Hearing Liu Jin's words, the faces of Battle and the others looked a little better, and it sounded like the same thing, after this dependence on Daming, Daming regarded them as his own people.

About the Tang Dynasty, they also know about the grassland nobles, during the Tang Dynasty, above the court of the Tang Dynasty, the proportion of officials from different races was very large, and many generals were from different races.

Even among Tang Taizong's personal guards, there are many grassland people.

"Can we really go back to our tribe from time to time?"

Battle asked again.

"Yes, we Daming have always been true to our word, after you and I are a family, this grassland people are also the people of Daming, and this grassland is also the territory of Daming, when the time comes, there will be no longer a distinction between you and me, and you can go back at any time if you want to go home."

Liu Jin nodded solemnly.

I don't believe it, after living in the capital, you still want to go back to the grassland?

Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone nodded slightly, and it didn't sound like they were really going to put themselves under house arrest.

"Lord Liu, if Daming didn't want to put us under house arrest, we would naturally be willing to move to Daming Jingshi to settle down, the grassland is bitterly cold, and Jingshi is prosperous, we would have wanted to see it a long time ago."

Battle thought for a moment and spoke.

As long as they are not under house arrest, they have to be agreed if they don't agree, and the thousands of cavalry outside are enough to easily sweep their entire barbarian department.

People are swords, I am fish and meat, this taste is not pleasant.

But everything must be endured, and you have to wait patiently, waiting for the young eagles of the grassland to become eagles, and then when the time comes, they can still reverse this Ming.
