"Yes, Marshal." The generals agreed, and then they stopped talking and rode their horses.

More than 18,000 Jingbianbao troops and liberated Han slaves marched south on the Hetao steppe, without encountering a single Mongol along the way.

Liu Renyu looked at this vast prairie, and suddenly felt something in his heart, so he said to Liu Renjie: "Renjie, go and call An Zhengman and Jiang Riguang." ”

"Yes, Marshal." Liu Renjie got the order, so he rode his horse and galloped to the cavalry phalanx under his command, and said to An Zhengman and Jiang Riguang who were in the army: "An Zhengman, Jiang Riguang, the commander has an order, and Ling Er and others will go and speak." ”

"Yes, Second Master Liu." An Zhengman and Jiang Riguang were ordered, although they felt inexplicable why Liu Renyu suddenly wanted to find him, but they didn't ask much, they rode their horses and ran to Liu Renyu's side.

"Dashuai." An Zhengman and Jiang Riguang came to Liu Renyu's side and said in unison.

"Well, An Zhengman, it's been more than a year since you came to my Jingbian Fort, how about it, are you still used to it?" Liu Renyu asked An Zhengmandao.

"Yu Dashuai, naturally it is customary, once upon a time on the grassland, in the land of Yidi, abused, life was hard haha, there was no hope. Now back to Daming, not to mention, it is our Han people's own place, our feet are on that land, not to mention, but it is very down-to-earth.

And when you arrive at Jingbian Fort, you give us a ranch and a house, not to mention how moisturizing our life is, and now the marshal still lets the small one serve in front of the army, and the small grass people can actually mix a thousand generals, which is a blessing from several generations. An Zhengman listened to Liu Renyu's question, of course, he talked endlessly, praising Liu Renyu.

Liu Renyu listened to An Zhengman's words, smiled slightly, nodded, and then he turned his head again and asked Jiang Riguang: "Jiang Riguang, you have arrived at my Jingbian Fort, are you still used to it?" ”

It's another such question, but for Jiang Riguang, it's a very good answer, he just needs to say what An Zhengman said with a similar meaning.

"Dashuai, you are like a new parent to us people. We don't know how to repay your kindness, and now we can only be a lackey under the handsome and die for the handsome. Jiang Riguang's answer was concise and to the point.

"Haha, you're right! It's good for you to get used to it, since you have entered my Jingbian Fort and become a citizen of our Jingbian Fort, I will protect the legitimate rights and interests of all of you, if you are not used to it, come and tell me, do you understand? Liu Renyu instructed the two.

"Yes, Marshal." An Zhengman and Jiang Riguang responded repeatedly.

"Well, this town is now recruiting you here, but I have a question to ask you, when this town rescued you from the hands of the Mongols, you have been on this steppe for many years, you get along with the Mongols every day, this ability to ride horses and graze must be very good. An Zhengman, Jiang Riguang, you are mainly grazing in my Jingbian Fort now, right? Liu Renyu asked An Zhengman and Jiang Riguang.

"Dashuai, I won't tell you, since we entered the grassland, the Mongolians have supported the small ones to do everything and wait for these Han people to do it, we are riding horses to graze every day, riding horses to graze, for this herding ability is naturally very good to learn, but it is stronger than the small ability to farm in the past. So when Mr. Huang asked us whether we wanted to farm or graze, we thought it would be easier to graze, so we chose herding. An Zhengman replied.

"Dashuai, the families of the little ones are still in the hands of the Mongols of the Chahar Department, and those of us who escaped from the Chahar Department are all on errands in the hands of your righteous brother Liu Erye, except for those who are soldiers, no one does anything else.

However, if the small family members can be rescued, most of the small ones still have to choose grazing, because grazing is more familiar to us. Jiang Riguang replied.

"Yes, this town will ask you, where do you say that the pasture in our Jingbian Fort is better than the pasture on this grassland?" Liu Renyu said.

"Dashuai, then it goes without saying, naturally it is much better here, our Jingbian Fort is blocked by deep mountains, full of mountains, when this horse grazing, the horse can't spread out at all, can't run, if this horse doesn't run often, I'm afraid that the durability is not enough.

If it is sheep grazing, the pasture is not enough, and this pasture is far from catching up with the fertile grassland here, handsome, the so-called Yellow River Jiuqu, only a set of rich, it can be seen how good the water and grass here are. If we can graze here, that's good. An Zhengman looked at the aquatic plants under his horse's hooves and said with great regret.

"You're right, so our Central Plains has never been a place to breed horses. You say that the grasslands are suitable for grazing, but I don't know about it. Speaking of which, this town has an idea that I want to tell you. Liu Renyu said.

"Boss, please speak, little listen." An Zhengman replied.

"For thousands of years, from the nomads on the grassland has been the henchmen of my Central Plains Dynasty, the Qin and Han dynasties have the Xiongnu, the Tang Dynasty has the Turks, the Hui Dynasty, the Song Dynasty has the Khitan, I have the Ming Dynasty Mongolia, for thousands of years, they bowed their heads when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, and when the Central Plains Dynasty was weak, they took the opportunity to go south, burning, killing and looting, bringing deep suffering to the people of the Central Plains Dynasty, which has been the case for thousands of years.

Now, the town wants to change that. An Zhengman, Jiang Riguang, you are all Han people rescued from the Mongols in this town, you are familiar with the farming industry, but I am afraid that the craftsmanship has been rusty, but the ability to graze is very good, I estimate that this Hetao grassland paste land, before my Ming Emperor Yingzong has always been my Ming land, and then gave up.

Now that our Jingbianbao army has this strength, it is better to occupy this grassland again, An Zhengman, Jiang Riguang, you take those Han people under your command who used to graze on the grassland to set up camp here from now on, graze on this grassland, let's multiply, take this grassland from the hands of the Mongols, how, do you have the courage to graze here and settle in the Mongols' encirclement? Liu Renyu asked An Zhengman and Jiang Riguang repeatedly.

"The little ones have faith." Jiang Riguang and An Zhengman replied sonorously.

"It's very good, speaking of which, I remembered it, Jiang Riguang, your family is still in the hands of the Mongols of the Chahar Department, I'm afraid that life and death are uncertain!" Liu Renyu said.

When Jiang Riguang asked to surrender before, because he was anxious to get out of Lin Dan Khan's control, he didn't think about his family at all, but when all his family members were lost, but although the lotus root was broken, who didn't miss his family when he dreamed back at midnight, but there was really no way at present, he could only think about it, but now he suddenly heard Liu Renyu ask about his family, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but be slightly moist.

Liu Renyu saw Jiang Riguang's demeanor and knew that he must be missing his family, so he was a little sad, so he smiled slightly and said: "Riguang, his wife is separated, his relatives are separated, and there is a tragedy in the world!" I think that Lin Dan Khan is extremely vicious, and has harassed me many times in the south, I don't know how many people in the Ming Dynasty have been ruined because of him, I decided, after exterminating the thieves in Shanxi, I will reorganize the soldiers and horses, attack the Qinghai steppe, annihilate the Chahar Department of Lin Dan Khan, and rescue your family, you see, how is it? ”

"Is Dashuai really going to the Qinghai Prairie to destroy the Chahar Department?" When Jiang Riguang heard this, he was surprised and delighted.

"This town speaks, and it will definitely not deceive you, you are relieved." Liu Renyu smiled slightly and said firmly.

"If there really is such a day, the little one is willing to be the pioneer of my army, lead the way in the front, and go directly to the nest of the Chahar department." Jiang Riguang saw that Liu Renyu said firmly, so he said happily.

"Very good, when the time comes, the town will naturally use you as a pioneer." Liu Renyu first replied with a smile, and then said: "If we want to occupy this grassland for a long time in the future, it is not enough to rely on us Han people, and those Mongols will not all be punished, and they should be killed, I heard that the Mongols are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, the nobles own most of the property in the tribe, and the herdsmen are just vassals of the nobles, which is equivalent to the relationship between the landlords and tenant farmers of our Ming Dynasty, yes or no?" ”

"What the marshal said is very true, some Mongolians, in fact, in addition to being Mongolians, are not much different from us." An Zhengman replied to Liu Renyu.

"I have an idea, in the future, I will take you to the Mongolian steppe, focus on attacking the Mongolian nobles, kill all the Mongolian nobles, distribute the pastures to ordinary herdsmen, and then let them go to our Han schools, and assimilate these Mongolians into our Han people.

At that time, the entire Mongolian steppe will be the world of our Han people, and we will no longer have to worry about the Mongols going south again every autumn, what do you think of my idea? Liu Renyu asked An Zhengman and Jiang Riguang with a smile.

"The big handsome is really far-sighted, the small ones are very obedient, and the small ones don't have the vision of the big handsome, but the small ones have such a determination, as long as the big handsome's whip points to, the small ones will rush to where with their men." An Zhengman will say it soon.

"That's what the little ones mean." Jiang Riguang also echoed.

"Very good, although you have all experienced a lot of hardships on the grassland, you have finally learned a skill, you have at least become qualified cavalry, you should follow me around to experience it first. When the time comes, I will go to the Mongolian steppe to exterminate the Mongols, and I will still rely on you. Liu Renyu said again.

"Don't worry, the little ones will do their best to do what the big marshal explains." An Zhengman and Jiang Riguang replied.

"Well, you guys go first." Liu Renyu waved his hand.

"Yes, Marshal." An Zhengman and Jiang Riguang received the order and returned to their own military formation.
