Seeing that one of the leaders was silent, Zotmur became even more angry: "Have you guys let the dogs eat their consciences?" When we first acted together, everyone said that we would be in trouble together, and we would enjoy blessings together, but now when we encounter things, do you want to push them all to my father? ”

"Then I have to ask what your father said in the first place? He said how powerful the Bao army was, but they were blocked in Liaodong by the Eight Banners, and they couldn't reach the desert at all! He said that as long as we approached the Great Wall of the Ming Army, there would be a Ming Army to answer and protect us, but now we were stopped by the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry halfway through! Where can I wait for the Ming army? Don't you know what kind of virtue the Ming army is? When we get to the bottom of their walls, it's hard to say whether they will shoot us with bows and arrows, how can they travel hundreds of miles to the rescue? Engdel said angrily: "Since it was your father who picked the head, shouldn't your father bear such a thing?" Is it better for everyone to die together than for one of your tribes to bear it? ”

"As long as everyone works together, we may not be able to defeat the Eight Banners, they have also injured a lot of people today!" Drotmur also said angrily.

"You said you could fight? Can you pinch it? Even if everyone fights with the Jin people, how many more people will die? Originally, there were only 1230,000 people left in Inner Khalkha now, and if tens of thousands of people died, even the number of 100,000 would be insufficient. Now there are only two ways, either everyone will return together and confess their mistakes to Nurhachi and ask for forgiveness. Either one of you will resist the Jinren, and the rest of us will go first. Engdel Dao.

Several other clan leaders remained silent, for what Engdel said was not entirely unreasonable.

Drorictu sighed, "Well, since that's what you all think, then you guys go first." ”

Engdel glanced at Zorictu, who had expected his statement.

"Father, why?" Ulan Tuya Qiqige said angrily: "It's everyone's good to have benefits, and when we encounter danger, it's ours alone, why?" ”

"Don't say that!" Engdel immediately said: "You marry Wei Bao as a concubine, is it possible that you marry Wei Bao with the same benefits as us?" Impossible, right? Since you have received many benefits, it is natural that you should come forward when you are in danger. ”

"Forget it, stop talking nonsense, let's disperse tonight! Since we don't plan to be together, it's up to us to see who has a good life and can escape some more people! Drotmur said angrily.

"Haha, you see, right? Finally showed their true colors, there are benefits, they are all their family, in case of danger, they have the most soldiers and horses, the largest population, they will flee, that must be they fleeing the most, we will definitely be chased by the finance as a lamb to slaughter. Engdel Dao.

The other chieftains also stood up and asked Drotmur why he had fled tonight.

There was a lot of noise, and Zoriktu was just about to stop it, when soldiers came in from outside.

"Chief, there are about 2,000 cavalry coming from the north! It's the banner of the treasure army! The soldier shouted.

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect Wei Bao's cavalry to come, let alone come from the north, I don't know how they came.

Drorictu was overjoyed when he heard this, and both Zotmur and Ulan Tuyaqige were delighted.

"I knew Wei Bao would find a way to rescue us! Look you're still noisy! When encountering some dangers, he will do desperate things. Ulan Tu Yaqiqige couldn't help but retort.

"Whether it is Wei Bao's people or not, it has not yet been determined, even if it is Wei Bao's soldiers and horses, there are only 2,000 people, what is the use? I've heard that Wei Bao has a cavalry of 2,000 people, and the Jin people may be playing tricks on us. Otherwise, how could they come from the north? Even if it is Wei Bao's people, how can such a person fight seven or eight thousand gold people? ”

"And us! With 2,000 foreign cavalry, plus we have more than 20,000 warriors, how can we not fight the Eight Banners? If you're scared, take someone alone and go first! Drotmur said angrily.

Engdel was yelled at by Drotmur, did not dare to say anything, looked at the other leaders, and felt that the situation had changed.

Although the Bao army did not have many people, only 2,000 people, it was enough to change the situation and give the rest of the Nekharkha leaders some confidence.

"Don't say any more, go out and have a look." With a wave of his hand, Zorictu took the lead out of the big tent.

In the northeast at night, the cold wind is whistling, and in the middle of winter, the dripping water turns into ice.

Everyone squinted and saw that a group of cavalry was very neatly arranged in the night, one horse next to another, and the formation was very neat.

"Sure enough, it's the treasure army, it's really the treasure army, only the treasure army will be arrayed like this, and the Ming army, the border army, and the Eight Banners will not be like this." Zorictu was overjoyed and said, "Let people greet you." ”

"Wait a little longer, shall you? Let them come and talk to a few people first. Engdel Dao.

"It's so cold, can't you stand outside a little longer," Zorictu said without breath.

Just now I was angry with Engdel, Zhuo Liktu is not the hero's style, and he doesn't have such a big bearing, but now he feels that the reinforcements have arrived, and his waist is stiff, so there is no need to be polite to Engdel.

Engdel's eyes puffed up angrily, his eyes flickering, but he didn't dare to reply.

Everyone lined up to greet each other, and the treasure army soon drove over.

The leader is naturally Liu Dahe, the head of the Baojun Cavalry Regiment, and Tie Batu, the deputy head of the regiment, and it is naturally impossible for Wei Jueye, President Wei, to personally lead the troops.

At this time, President Wei was still roasting in Shanhaiguan and sharing the winter fun with his wife.

Wei Bao is not worried about the final victory or defeat of this war, with the backing of Weijiazhuang, Liaonan, and North Korea, the Bao army is invincible.

As for being able to win, it is also a question of how much you can win.

Lord Wei doesn't care about face, what he wants is to win, besides, how can he lose face if he wins.

If it weren't for the fact that the areas under the jurisdiction of the Heaven and Earth Society were still very difficult, and the people's rations were insufficient, Wei Bao would definitely not be so compassionate to Jiannu.

Wei Bao has never been worried that Jiannu will not be able to take out tens of millions of taels of silver.

Although they were all barbarians, the Jurchen barbarians, under the triple influence of Han, Mongolia and Korea, were very different from the imagination of the Central Plains Dynasty and even modern people at that time in terms of material wealth.

First, the commodity economy is developed, which is reflected in the circulation and minting of money.

They were able to mine gold, silver and iron ore, which shows that the Jurchens had a certain ability to explore and excavate precious metals at this time, and they had a certain confidence in the face of the economic blockade of the Ming Dynasty.

Both Nurhachi and Huang Taiji once allocated the treasury wealth to a single poor man in the country to marry, which not only proves that the treasury has spare money, but also proves that metal currency was recognized among the Jurchen tribes at that time, and proves that its commodity economy has developed to a certain extent.

Compare it with the Little China Korea in the east, where the general equivalent of the people at that time was still grain and cloth.

It shows that North Korea's economy is not comparable with Houjin.

Not only that, Houjin also experienced a "monetary revolution" in which silver was replaced by copper.

On the second day of the fifth month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, he came to tell him that because of the abundance of silver, he would no longer make money, so he stopped minting money.

Therefore, the Jurchen tribe was not a backward mountain tribe in the late Ming Dynasty, but a "commercial alliance" with a highly developed commodity economy and frequent currency circulation.

In the future Yisi Change, Huang Taiji also personally inspected the different prices of python satin in Liaodong and Zhangjiakou, and was determined to buy in Xuanda and sell in Liaodong.

This shows that Jiannu's financial resources are not only rich, but even have the ability to mess up the Ming market like the Jin merchants.

You must know that Daming is not ordinary wealthy, at least there are many rich people in Daming, and hoarding is an old trick.

But Huang Taiji has the ability to fight with the wealthy merchant group of the Ming Dynasty in a commercial town like Zhangjiakou, which shows that Jiannu's financial resources are even better!

If it weren't for this kind of financial resources, the Jin merchants didn't have to take the risk of killing their heads to secretly do things with Jiannu at the border, and helped Jiannu become bigger step by step.

Second, strategic materials are basically unchecked, and Mongolia can simply make new iron tools from the iron tools it has already cast, but it has basically no ability to mine and smelt iron ore.

Mongolia once gave the Ming Dynasty a piece of iron ore as a proof of its ability to mine iron ore in a provocation, and was finally recognized by the Ming Dynasty.

In turn, in addition to mining iron ore, the Jurchens also have a strong ability to smelt iron and strike iron.

The Korean envoy to Houjin once saw with his own eyes that the number of blacksmiths north of Hetuara was so large that it spread to a mile away, which ensured that Houjin would not lack the most basic military equipment in the war with Ming.

In addition, another strategic material - salt, Houjin is also not afraid of the blockade of the Ming Dynasty.

In the forty-eighth year of Wanli, in June, Nurhachi sent people to the East China Sea to boil salt.

Therefore, from a material point of view, the material wealth of the Jurchens was much better than that of the Mongols, and the main problem was the population expansion and the food shortage caused by Nurhachi's lack of heart and eye in the later period.

But Nurhachi has a knife in his hand, and there will always be food.

But now the situation is different, with the treasure army, the Eight Banners can no longer rely on robbery to live a rich life.

"Tuanza, they let us pass." Tiebatu vs. Liu Dahedao.

"It's all over." Liu Dahe did not hesitate.

"Tuanza, are you waiting for a while? Let their leader come and talk about it. After all, the Mongols are unpredictable, and in the past, we did not kill fewer Mongols, and the Mongols did not kill less Han Chinese. Although Tiebatu himself is a Mongol, he is now a member of the Bao Army, and he has completely regarded himself as a Han Chinese, at least from the perspective of a Han Chinese.

"Don't you wait, don't you see this large area full of corpses? The Mongols and the Eight Banners fought fiercely, and now they are mortal enemies, how can it be against us? "Liu Dahe Road.

"Tuanza, you can't be careless, the Mongols are fickle, they suffered a big loss at the hands of Jiannu today, maybe they are now discussing the surrender of Jiannu. If we hadn't come, it would be hard to say. Tiebatu said.

Liu Dahe nodded, "It's not unreasonable, but the other party has already let us pass, let's let their leader come over again, it seems that we don't trust them." Well, tell the brethren to be more vigilant and be careful. Everything is at my command. "Liu Dahe Road.

"Okay." Tiebatu agreed, and ordered the staff officers and heralds around him to convey the order of the regiment commander.

The cavalry regiment of 2,000 men received orders in less than a few minutes, all by word of mouth, and military discipline was very strict.

Just as the cavalry regiment of the treasure army approached the camp of Zoriktu, another group of men and horses came.

Cao Wenzhao came with a thousand horse infantry troops, they came from the west, from Xifengkou to here, and walked in the ice and snow for two days.

"Another team? Is it the border army of the Ming Dynasty? Zhuo Liktu listened to the news from the people below, and was very puzzled, "The border army of the Ming Dynasty will actually leave the Great Wall and come here?" ”

"It's so weird, I'm afraid it's a fraud." This time it wasn't Engdel who spoke, it was Drotmur.

These people in Nekharkha can bow their heads to the treasure army, but they refuse to let go of their prejudices against the Ming army.

It's not that the Ming army did anything to be sorry for the Mongols, on the contrary, the Mongols often raided the pass and plundered.

The main reason is that the Mongols looked down on the Ming army, and the Ming border army and the Mongols also joined forces to deal with the Jin people many times, but every time they joined forces, the Ming army went back on their word, always thinking about consuming the Mongols' troops, and the Ming border army did not dare to leave the city wall for protection.

Therefore, it is already very strange that a treasure army suddenly appears in such a place, and it is even more strange that there can be another border army of the Ming army.

Zorictu nodded, "Tell everyone, get up and be on guard!" There are only more than 1,000 people on the other side, it is not like the Eight Banners sent people to pretend, this person can't do anything, and there is a foot army, it really looks like the border army of the Ming army, but the border army of the Ming army is unlikely to have hundreds of horses. In this way, I will personally go and see the border army of the Ming army, Zhuo Temur, you and a few uncles will welcome the treasure army together, remember to be polite. ”

"Father, it's better for you to stay here to meet the treasure army, I'll go and see if the Ming army and the border army are true or not." Zottmur Road.

Zhuo Liktu knew that his son was filial and was afraid that he would suffer a loss, so he sighed and said: "Okay, then you should be careful, bring a hundred people by your side, bring too many people, I'm afraid that the other party will think that we are rude, bring too few people, and we can't protect ourselves." I'm afraid that if something happens, remember to ask where the other party is guarding and why they are here, and after telling me, I will see if they are allowed to enter the camp. ”

"Got it, father." Drotmur nodded in agreement and went.

Liu Dahe led the cavalry regiment of the treasure army to the edge of the camp of Zhuo Liktu.

Zhuo Li Ketu took the lead to greet him: "Dare to ask which general of the treasure army is it?" Lord Wei sent someone to help us, and he didn't let anyone talk first. How did you get here? Great work. ”

Liu Dahe frowned, although the other party said politely, but as soon as he came up, he asked so many questions, obviously distrusting himself.

However, Liu Dahe was not angry, the other party had just gone through a big battle with Jiannu, and the soldiers were in chaos, so it is understandable to be cautious.

"I am the Baojun Cavalry Regiment, and I am the regiment commander Liu Dahe." Liu Dahedao: "We are here on the orders of Lord Wei. ”
