Chapter 415: The Wind Blows Everywhere

When the regular soldiers of the Jiang family army were still lined up there, the four or five hundred guards were already on their horses and ready, and the bravery of these people was also famous among the Jiang army.

It takes two hours to ride a horse from the nearest pasture to the fortress, and it will take more than twenty days at the farthest, but the generals in the fortress are not worried, although the west fort is simple, it is a pure earth and stone building, and the back is choked by the waterway checkpoint.

On the steppe, these Mongols who have been scattered can't be defeated at all, there are guns and cannons, these Mongols who can't even build trebuchets can no longer be built, what can they do to attack the city.

Moreover, on the grassland, the sentry tower is extremely high and the range of condescending lookout is particularly broad, even if a hundred cavalry has a large number of ambushes or bait behind them, they must at least have an hour's distance or farther away to avoid the observation of the sentry.

The soldiers in the fortress were holding their posts, loading ammunition, and after the four hundred men had assembled in the open space, the gates of the fortress slowly opened, and a combination of arquebuses and spearmen came out in formation. The captain of the group walked to the side of the group with a command knife in his hand, and he also wore a short firecracker.

What I didn't expect was that as soon as I went out, I saw that the guards who had rushed out before had all withdrawn, and the excited expression on his face became a little listless, and the captain who led the troops was a little stunned, and before he could ask, a guard who came back first said on the horse:

"We're not here to fight, we're still two miles away from them, and these Tartars are kneeling there, and they're covered with white cloths, which means they surrender, or you officials should go and see!"

Hearing this, the captain who led the team did not dare to decide on his own, and hurriedly stopped the team on guard, and hurriedly returned to the fortress to report that the officer of the West Fort was one of the three deputies under Zhang Liang, and he was also the old man who came out of Tie Ding back then, what kind of person can be considered to be in charge, hearing this, he hurriedly went out to check. Although the guards were undisciplined, they came back first.

However, the two captains of the escort team led a hundred of their men to guard not far away to prevent any abnormal movements, and only after seeing the arrival of the commander of the West Castle did they come forward to explain the situation.

The composition of these Mongols kneeling not far away is very mixed, both Tatar and Tile, as well as the wanderers of Duoyan Sanwei, more than 100 people who came this time are not dressed as ordinary herdsmen, they look like nobles of various tribes, they just rushed out of the fortress when the escort team rushed out, they knelt there, covered their bodies with white cloth, after the captain of the escort asked, they said that this time they came, just to see someone who can take care of things.

Sibao commanded him, looking at his different service and position from the soldiers around him, and the Mongol nobles kneeling there knew that this man was the most powerful person they could see at the moment.

What these Mongols said made the commander of this Xibao startled, and there were actually two thousand households of Nayan among the Mongolian nobles who came, which shows the status of these Mongols.

In fact, the two Wanhu who knelt there and begged were the leaders of these people, and they represented the 20,000 herdsmen who had fled to the north of Kulun, these Mongols came from various tribes, but the reason for the dislocation was similar, they were all scattered by the armed forces of the Ming or Jiang Feng, and they could not graze cattle on their original living land, but could only move further north.

At that time, Siberia was not a wild land, there were still remnants of the most glorious era of Mongolia, the Lost Bil Khanate, which is called the Siberian Khanate by Europeans, this Khanate consisted of more than 30,000 Mongols and local tribes assimilated by the Mongols, counting the small tribes of vassals, there were also 60,000 or 70,000 people, mobilized nearly 10,000 troops, and the Khan Guchu Khan of the Lost Bil Khanate was also willing to accept more than 20,000 compatriots.

The northern part of Coulomb is vast, and although it is a bitter cold place, it is enough to provide a life for these people.

Although the territory of the Obir Khanate was far from the suddenly fierce Han people in the south, it also had its own problems, in the western part of the Obir Khanate was connected to the territory of the Russian Stroganov family at this time, and the Russians or the Rakshasas had a deep desire for land, but historically, the expansion of Siberia would not begin fifty years later.

It's just that history has changed, since Jiang Feng was beaten with a dull stick, everything is different, the little butterfly has flapped its wings, and the slight wind has blown to Europe.

Since the emergence of maritime trade because of Jiang Feng's absolute power, it has become extremely prosperous, and now the whole world is rumored of the prosperity and wealth of the East, and the Kingdom of Spain has sent his fleet, which has been completely destroyed in Malacca.

Portugal and France had already sent their caravans to trade in the East, and this reputation of wealth also spread to Tsarist Russia, which was still a third-rate country at the time, and Russia, which did not even have access to the sea, only imagined the prosperity of the East in the news coming back from Western Europe.

Russia also has his own way, he knows that as long as he follows the route of the Mongols' westward expedition, he will reach the legendary country of gold, the Tsar gave the Stroganov family (later the Roganov family) an order earlier than the original history, asking them to expand to the east, the Roganov family is extremely supportive of this kind of attention that can please the Tsar and expand the territory of their own family, and immediately organized the Cossack team to move eastward.

At this time, the Cossack cavalry was not inferior to Chengping for a long time, and gradually degenerated into the herdsmen's cavalry of the Obir Khanate, and they were also firearms, a series of frictions, the Obir Khanate suffered a lot of losses, but fortunately, it was the strength of the people to withstand the offensive.

Although the khanate was small, there were political struggles, and Guchu Khan knew that the more than 20,000 people who came from the south did not sincerely obey his rule, so he simply trained these herdsmen who came over in the first line of the army to face the invasion of the Cossacks.

The two 10,000 households knew that if this continued, the more than 20,000 people he brought would either be completely eaten by Guchu Khan, or the men would all be consumed under the butcher's knives of the Cossack cavalry like wild beasts, and they still wanted to maintain their power and power, and they also wanted to continue to be rich and noble.

On the grassland outside the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty now, the Bandi Khan of the Tile Spur Department is still lingering in the west, and his subordinates are thousands of troops, and several tribes in Gansu can not get the table, and it has always been the first warehouse of the three towns of Shaanxi to make military achievements, only in the east near the Guanwai, I heard those herdsmen who occasionally came to trade say that although the grassland is now divided, everything must be subject to the management of the Jiang army.

However, life was much better all of a sudden, and many of the leaders of the small tribes used to be able to eat enough every day, and now they actually had some silk clothes to wear, and they could drink fine wine, and they did not have to participate in the various military campaigns called by the khan.

The two Wanhu and the rest of the leading figures discussed in private and came to such a conclusion, rather than being beaten on the grassland and fleeing from the west, it is better to return honestly and live a few days of stable wealth and prosperity, Daming is not going to go, but it is a good place to go outside the Guan, it can be seen that the Jiang Jiajun outside the Guanxi wants their people and their grassland, and in the current situation, the grassland has long been taken away, and there are more than 20,000 herdsmen under him, what else can be done, When these herdsmen are consumed in the Obir Khanate, it will be a bare pole.

Simply gathered more than 18,000 herdsmen who could still control their hands and went south again, ready to defect to Jiangfeng, they also had experience, and when they reached the edge of the pasture attached to Jiangfeng, they settled down honestly, and according to the rules of surrender on the grassland, they honestly rode horses to this West Fort.

Seeing so many Mongolians outside the outermost grassland, the guards and servants were on full alert, not daring to leave the enclosure of the ranch, and the news was not transmitted, and the more than 100 people were all big names among the Mongols, and the pastoral areas along the way were all convenient, and as a result, they came to Xibao at such a faster speed than the person who reported the news.

The commander of Xibao listened to this with a cold face, and the documents for surrender had already been prepared over there, and the commander of Xibao had already scolded the ancestors of the manor and the guards along the way for eighteen generations, thinking that you eight lambs couldn't even send a warning message.

This loss is to surrender, if it is to attack, wouldn't it be sold directly, but he also knows that this is a big deal, don't say that he is a commander, it may be Zhang Liang, Tiedan, Liu Shisan can't be the master, and hurriedly found the documents in the fortress to record all this, and then quickly sent it to Zhang Liang's hands.

At this time, it was the matter of November of the eighteenth year of Jiajing, and the snow in the Taer River valley hindered the speed of news transmission, Zhang Liang sent the troops of Dongbao to Xibao to settle the town, and then quickly spread the news to Jingshi, asking Jiang Feng to decide.

The eighteenth year of Jiajing is coming to an end......
