Chapter 62: The Rise of Warat

First of all, everyone is no stranger to this name. He was the leader of Warat, and decades earlier his father, Tohuan, had agreed to the chaotic civil war in eastern Mongolia, and following the example of the Central Plains strategy of the Son of Heaven to order the princes, he supported the existence of the Northern Yuan regime in name only. Although there was a lot of friction with Daming, there was no large-scale battle.

In the four years of Ming orthodoxy, Tuhuan died of illness and ascended the throne first, and unlike Dehuan, he also respected Mongolian ghosts and witches very much, and worshiped the right protector of ghosts and witches, Qimude, as the national teacher. Speaking of ghosts and witches, although they are one, they are not too united, the leader of the ghost witch, Balhu Menghe, has been in retreat to worship evil ghosts, but the specific cultivation is what evil ghosts, which even the ghost witch people don't understand, only know that they catch more Han people to supply the sect leader, and the largest number has sent nearly 1,000 people in a year.

The power in that sect is naturally shared among the left and right protectors, and the beggar protector who led the ghost witch before is the left protector, who is quite powerful in the Yili Jiangli and Tatar regimes, and is very respected by those in power, and his strength should not be underestimated. Naturally, the right protector Qimud, who can be called alongside him, is not bad, and has become the national teacher of the Warat regime. These two Dharma protectors fought constantly, and although they did not provoke any wars, they still killed each other within the sect from time to time.

In addition to the dozens of envoys led by the two of them competing with each other, there is also a small force led by the three hall masters of the ghost witch above the divided desert, and the three of them usually go their own way, once the left and right protectors want to annex themselves, but they unite to fight the enemy together. This is very much in line with the character of the Mongols, not only the foreign invasion and internal strife are also very serious.

Although they are hostile to each other, they have a common enemy, the Ming Dynasty. To be precise, it was the Heaven and Earth People of the Ming Dynasty who drove them back to the barren desert and away from the rich and prosperous Central Plains in the south of the Yangtze River. There are no eternal friends, only common enemies, and several forces within the ghost witch have made moves towards the Zhongzheng line, but they have not yet reached the Central Plains and were blocked by other branches, so they have also learned to be smart, once they encounter something hostile to the Zhongzheng line, they will unite to fight the enemy together, but it is a huge and dangerous force.

Besides, since worshipping Qimud as the national teacher, the powerful soldiers and horses successfully conquered the Jurchens with the help of Qimud, and made Korea a vassal to Wara, and Warat's power has grown day by day, with the meaning of prosperity. The combat effectiveness of the Mongol cavalry was much stronger than that of the Han army, but the industry was very backward, and there would be nothing except grazing and raising horses.

But after the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, these Mongolians enjoyed the silk and satin food of the Central Plains and the beauties after some lingering, the people of heaven and earth were extremely dissatisfied after seeing the Mongols burning, killing and humiliating and plundering, naturally the Mongolian ghosts and witches were very frightened and ordered to hunt and kill the scattered heaven and earth people, but did not expect that stealing chickens would not become a loss of rice, and the people of heaven and earth of all veins launched a counterattack to support their own uprising leaders jointly overthrew the rule of the Yuan Dynasty, and the reign of more than 90 years did not let the Mongols learn a lesson, but were more greedy for the benefits of the Central Plains and the south of the Yangtze River. was driven back to Mobei all of a sudden, and the only way was to exchange through merchants, but in Shangyan Business, merchants risked their lives to chase the stars and catch the moon to trade items, and naturally the price rose a lot.

The merchants' price hikes made many Mongols unbearable, unable to afford the price of exchanging a piece of cloth for a few horses. During the reign of the Yuan Dynasty, they could grab good things when they saw them, and they were used to getting something for nothing. Now it doesn't work, there are Ming officers and soldiers to take care of the home and nursing home, so naturally they don't just want to take it. So the small army often found some lonely and weak towns to plunder, not only plundered and killed people on sight, of course, the Warat army led first did not do this kind of thing.

For example, Lu Yunzhi's family was one of the thousands of people persecuted by the Mongol marauders, and he was smarter than his father and started a business with the Ming Dynasty, although the price was still a little expensive, but it was still much more cost-effective than the price obtained through the merchants who came and went.

Since then, the two sides began to trade peacefully for more than ten years, although there were many barbaric Mongols in the caravan who harmed the Han people, but the matter did not make a big deal, and the Ming Dynasty turned a blind eye and passed. But he was gradually not satisfied, with the support of the ghost witch, he began to pass off the good, and also plundered the surrounding people on a small scale, for the ghost witch to worship the ghost, the ghost witch can use the blood soul of cattle and sheep to worship, but the soul of the person is the most effective, but where to find so many people, the first action has brought convenience to them, so he spared no effort to help the strong man on the grassland.

Such a bad thing has happened and has not been exposed, so one person is involved - Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen received the benefits of the first and kept the matter down, and most of the people in the court dared to be angry but did not dare to speak. But it finally happened, and when he first felt that with his own support, the ghosts and witches he supported were getting stronger and stronger, and he already had the strength to compete with the heavens, earth, and people in the Central Plains. And his own soldiers and horses have also been cultivated for many years, and the number of them is increasing, so it is time to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

also stopped giving Wang Zhen benefits first, and made a dumbfounded scoundrel. Wang Zhen is not a gentleman, so naturally he has dealings and deducts all the goods that he came to barter before. also declared war on this reason, and took this opportunity to blow the horn of the charge to Daming.

So he also gathered more than 30,000 Wara cavalry, divided into four roads and led a road of men and horses to Shanxi Datong Mansion mighty march, where the town guard eunuch Guo Jing is also a sensible person, fully support the main general Shi Heng's arrangement, ask for money to contribute, although the military can not help much, Shi Heng does not care, because Guo Jing can do it.

The 10,000 Ming defenders and Shi Heng's headquarters soldiers and horses, and the vanguard of the 4,000 Wa Lai cavalry confronted each other at Yanghekou near Datong Mansion, all waiting for their supreme commander to give the order to attack. The big war was about to break out, but what Shi Heng didn't expect was such a fiasco. The battle began, Shi Heng's general Song Ying died in battle, the eunuch Guo Jing who accompanied the army did not know where to go, and the 10,000 defenders were wiped out.

When Shi Heng was about to despair, he met a group of people who saved him, and this group of people was the Zhongzheng lineage of heaven and earth people that Shi Heng knew.
