Chapter 663: The Confusion of the Tatar Warriors
Yumu River, in the Ming Dynasty, is just a not very famous place, Mobei to the south, basically can not bypass Yumu River, Daming Northern Expedition, also can not get around Yumu River.
But in a few decades, the Yumu River will be famous.
Because the emperor Zhu Di died here.
What kind of place is Yumu River?
It's beautiful.
If spring arrives here, everything is green, the grass grows and the warbler flies, the blue water murmurs, and the white fish wanders among the clouds to chase the golden hanging sun, the sky and shadow are one, and the beauty is breathtaking.
The Yumu River in early autumn is also beautiful.
The river is long, the autumn grass is yellow, and the sun rises on the grassland.
The grass is abundant, gradually withering yellow, the green and yellow between heaven and earth are mixed together, dotted with pearl-like lakes, and there are some rows of shrubs, some wild animals that have become fat after spring and summer, or during the wandering period, it is a beautiful scenery that no pen master in the world can depict.
Of course, you can't see the romantic scenery of "the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep".
Grassland, not that grass grows taller than cattle and sheep.
That's just a writing technique.
The beautiful scenery in the painting of cows and sheep seen by the wind blowing the grass has to be found in the fantasy continent of another world, but in the world we live in, or in wetlands and swamps, we can also meet them.
There is such a saying.
Behind every goddess you think about day and night, there is a man who sleeps with her and wants to vomit.
Similarly.
In people's eyes, what they yearn for is distance and poetry.
Therefore, the beautiful scenery in the distance is the most beautiful, as for whether there is poetry or not, it is a journey of the soul, if a person's heart is full of shit, even if he goes to Tibet to wash his soul, it is still shit.
When your soul needs to be cleansed, the place you should go to is not Tibet, but the local public security bureau.
Or change yourself and make your heart a little sunny.
So what is Far Away?
Your distance is someone else's sunrise and moon setting, but you don't know that your moon rise and sunset are also someone else's distance, and your field work may be the distant poetry in other people's hearts.
Far fragrant and near smelly!
So Ma Hadan stood in front of the tent, looking at this beautiful grassland, there was no wave in his heart, there was one thing to say, he actually had an idea: the land of Yumuchuan, with pastures and lakes, is very suitable for nomads to live for a long time.
Pity.
The land is not large enough for all of its people to survive here.
What's even more a pity is that this place is too close to Daming.
If all the clansmen come here to survive, the Ming Dynasty only needs to move their fingers, and the clansmen will face the catastrophe of annihilation, so the clansmen can only live in the depths of the grassland, as far away from the Central Plains Dynasty as possible.
However, this is the sad thing about nomadism in the steppe - because nomadism, life is always difficult, and if there is a long-term place to live in peace, who wants to drive cattle and sheep around?
Nomadism means a shortage of living materials.
So it can't be helped.
I can only try to cross the Great Wall and grab it.
My prairie boy really likes to fight?
No.
We also hope to live and work in peace and contentment, and the family is happy, but the environment does not allow it, once it is winter, there is not enough grain and grass to stockpile, cattle and sheep starve to death in large numbers, if it encounters cold weather, cattle and sheep freeze to death in large numbers, then it is really necessary to leave bones on the road.
Well, the steppe is full of roads.
There is no way out.
The grassland is nomadic, and the most feared thing is the cold winter.
However, in recent years, the winter on the grassland has become colder and colder, and Mahadan even wonders if he will encounter a cold and icy season that occurs once in hundreds of years, and at that time, how will the tribesmen face this natural disaster?
The grassland is not like the Central Plains Dynasty, and the Central Plains Dynasty flooded in the south?
It doesn't matter, the North can support the South.
Drought in the North?
The South can support the North.
Therefore, Mahadan's ancestors have been yearning for the fertile and vast land of the Central Plains, but it is a pity that the Yuan Empire laid down that land but did not manage it well.
In the end, it was returned to the Han Chinese.
Give it back to the Han Chinese?
Ma Hadan laughed, and said to Bagen beside him: "How is that Han girl these days, have you been crying, you have to be careful, the girl who can make the five hundred soldiers of the Ming Dynasty defend her, I guess it should also be the county lord of a vassal king." ”
It will be worth a lot of money!
Ordinary rich people, how can they have this kind of skill?
There were during the Song Dynasty.
However, the border passes of the Ming Dynasty have not yet become corrupt to this extent.
Even if he is a county lord, Ma Hadan is not afraid, maybe before Zhu Di ascended the throne, we were still a little afraid of these vassal kings in the north, especially the king of Yan at that time.
But since Zhu Di ascended the throne, he has not seen any major moves by Zhu Di, and those vassal kings have lost their fangs one after another.
So what are you afraid of?
Bagen is a 10,000-strong commander, a few years ago when the Tatars invaded the south, Bagen was only a thousand-commander, when Zhu Di was brave, his father chose to avoid his edge, had to retreat to the depths of the grassland, Bagen made great contributions after the break, and then slowly promoted to the captain.
Bagen smiled: "It's also a girl with a big heart, don't look at her young age, she is very precocious, yesterday she was still asking the guards who were guarding her, asking if she was going to be one of our women, and said that she didn't want to marry to the grassland, saying that she had a man she liked, who looked good-looking, and said that the man would come to save her......"
It is also convincing.
This little girl's heart is so big?
Even if you are the county lord, the man you like is most likely a person from the county king's mansion, or the son of the general of the border army, but who dares to save you from the 30,000 army.
Do you really think that I, the first warrior of Tatar, Mahadan, grew up eating grass?
Mahadan shook his head speechlessly, "Did she say what her name was?" ”
Bagen also shook his head, "I didn't say it, but it seems that the custom of the southerners is that there is only a boudoir name before and the house, and there is a name after the house, and if it is a poor family, there will be no name." ”
Mahadan shook his head, "It's very likely that she's a county lord, so she definitely has a name." ”
Bagan hummed.
Ma Hadan asked again: "Is there any movement around us, if a county lord is captured, it is said that the guards of the Ming Dynasty on the other side of the Great Wall should have moved." ”
Bagen was very puzzled, "I'm also puzzled, since we captured this little girl in the encounter that day, only the Dushi Pass sent troops out to pursue, but after seeing that we were all cavalry, they were afraid that we would sneak attack Guancheng in a roundabout way, so they retreated to Guancheng under the arch of the cavalry, and then only scouts wandered around the Yumu River, and Juyong Pass, Dingbian Pass, and Shanhaiguan were very quiet. ”
Ma Hadan was puzzled, "Isn't this woman the lord of the county, just the little daughter-in-law of a certain vassal prince?" ”
Bargan wasn't sure, "It's possible." ”
Otherwise, it doesn't make sense.
The county lord is not the Zhu family?
If a county lord is captured, no matter how weak the vassal king is, there will definitely be a large-scale transfer of the Ming border army, and no matter how bad it is, it will have to send someone to contact.
Now like this, I am very passive, and I can't figure out Daming's routine at all.
