"Those Han people seem to have gone to Kulen."

A Mongolian general walked into a makeshift felt bag and half-knelt to report to the elderly nobleman in the felt bag.

This is the Chahar Department of Taiji brain, but also one of the Ming side familiar Chahar high-level, when he and Wang Huazhen reached an agreement of 40,000 taels of silver a year to help defend Guangning, Brain Mao is the person in charge of the Mongolian side to negotiate.

Of course, they made Wang Huazhen miserable, and Guangning was lost until it was lost, and the grass at the head of the city was three feet high, and they did not see a single soldier of the Chahar Mongols, let alone the so-called 400,000 Mongol troops to help defend Guangning.

In this era, chaos and disorder are the mainstream, if forty years ago, with the strength of the Mongols at that time, after feeling the threat of the Jurchens, it is very likely to mobilize 300,000 or even 400,000 cavalry to start a war with the Houjin side, but unfortunately the current situation has changed, Mongolia has been seriously weakened in the long-term struggle with the Ming Dynasty, and even the current principal Lin Dan Khan is also an extremely incompetent leader, doing things rashly, taking it for granted, no perseverance, even the courage of a man is lacking, military and political affairs and herdsmen are divided to the big and small wives to lead, Even the war and major events are also the decisions of those queens, and when they encounter this kind of Great Khan and Chongzhen, it is really God who has made Houjin hang......

"yes, got it." The brain hair is big and the face is resolute, a bit of the style of an old Mongolian military aristocrat.

Several generals sat in the felt bag, and after looking at each other, one of the generals said: "Taiji, do we continue to pursue, or retreat?" ”

Brainhair Avenue: "Why do you want to quit the army?" ”

The general said hesitantly: "If you chase it like this, I'm afraid that you will have to chase after Kulun, and it seems that it will cause a dispute if you move troops in Mobei." ”

"In any case, the three Khans of Mobei also obeyed the Tumen Code and respected the Great Khan as a vassal tribe of the Khan of all Mongolia." Brain Mao said quietly: "There is no reason not to chase it because I am afraid of this." ”

Another general was puzzled and said, "But there are about 200 people, and it seems that there is no need to chase after them like this." ”

"Stir-fried flowers in their ranks." Brain Mao sighed: "The Great Khan should not have forcibly annexed the herdsmen of the Five Divisions at the beginning, and since he wanted to annex them at that time, he should not let the fried flowers go." Those people are He Yusheng's people, and now that the Tumut Department has been taken down by He Yusheng, if the fried flowers fall into their hands again, our next move to the west will inevitably be greatly adversely affected. ”

Everyone was stunned!

The news of the westward migration has spread, but the big guy doesn't know when Lin Dan Khan has made up his mind.

Now there are Jurchen strong troops stationed in Quang Ninh, Horqin and the rest of the small tribes have all fallen to the side of the Jurchens, this situation is still caused by Lin Dan Khan's incompetence, but in Lin Dan Khan's own opinion, it is because of the internal chaos that he has nowhere to go, anyway, all the mistakes are the fault of others, since they can't get mixed up in the east, and they already know that the west is rich, relying on the horse market and Bansheng land for many years, Karaqin and Tumut have accumulated a lot of wealth, and these two have quite a lot of territory, It was also the territory of Chahar before it moved eastward, but when Tumen Khan faced the threat of Altan Khan, he had to abandon his homeland and go far east.

At this time, Tumut was weakened and had been wiped out by the Han Chinese, and it seemed that the westward move was not only imperative, but should have been carried out in advance.

As for He Yusheng, Lin Dan Khan didn't pay attention to it at all.

"The Tumuts are waste." The brain-haired and resolute face showed a look of sincere disdain: "I actually asked a group of Han people to occupy Qingcheng, I really don't know what happened to them, I am really ashamed of my ancestors." ”

"I've seen Yusheng's team." The general who spoke first was already full of excitement: "Their convoy is full of cloth, grain, and all kinds of groceries, if we can take Qingcheng and force them to trade with us, the wealth will roll in." ”

"Han ......," another Mongol general shook his head and said, "How can they fight." ”

"It wasn't our opponent earlier, but now most of Liaozhen has asked the Jurchens to rob it, and the Han dog is really useless."

"That Zhang Han, he didn't cautiously beg us to let them pass through the trade, since he was unruly and dared to wave his sword and gun at the Mongols, he naturally deserved the most severe lesson!"

"Hmm." Brainhair nodded loudly, and said with a dark face: "More than two hundred horses, thousands of miles across various departments, we must catch them, capture them back, and hand them over to the Great Sweat!" ”

"Yes!" Everyone stood up and bowed in agreement.

……

Snowflakes fell from the sky, and in the vast white snowfield, Zhang Han jumped off his horse.

It has long been past Saiyin Shanda, and there is no Gobi landform in this place, and there are no mountains and forests, it is completely a patch of grassland, there are many small rivers and springs, and there are even a few places where hot springs gush out, called Zhang Han and his entourage, so there is a place to take a bath.

I have been on the road for more than ten days, more than half of the trip, so far everything is going well. The people of the Karaqin tribe did not come to invite the battle, and they encountered more than a dozen small pastures along the way, and the herdsmen fled in despair, and no one dared to respond to the battle, not even a small-scale harassment.

After officially entering the territory of Transkhalkha in Mobei, he really felt the scarcity of people.

Along the way, there are only a few sporadic shepherds in the Gobi region wandering and hunting here, these guys can actually become horse thieves, it depends on whether the Taiji of each tribe is vigorous and resolute, they are scattered, more than ten people, less than three or five people, with enough bows and arrows and horses to dare to wander in the area of thousands of miles of no one, they hunt for a living, peel the prey and make it into jerky, in addition to eating for themselves is to bring a large number of skins and dried meat back to the tribe.

It's winter, and everything that can be done has been done, and the beasts on the steppe, though tired, are too numerous.

In front of Zhang Han is a flock of more than 10,000 yellow sheep, a large number of yellow sheep are running in groups on the grassland, they run along the Krulun River to the east, wandering to the territory of the people in the forest, that is, the periphery of the Great Xing'an Mountains and then to the south, and then to the west, these sheep are groups of active raw meat, too easy to fight, even Zhang Han's marksmanship can easily hit, get rich prey.

There was a dense burst of gunfire all around, horses riding in circles, carrying hundreds of sheep into the encirclement, and then there was a burst of gunfire.

More people are skinning and processing mutton, a large number of strips of meat are cut and placed on the buttocks of horses, the wind on the grassland will dry the meat, the cruel weather will prevent the meat from spoiling, and a few hundred sheep will be enough for the team to eat at least ten days.

"Over there is the Krulun River." Xia Xiping was a little weaker, his body was wrapped in a thick sheepskin jacket, he pointed to the northeast, where there seemed to be a jade belt meandering, he said: "From the river to the northeast is the territory of the Balhu tribe, and to the southeast is the place of the people in the forest, there are Evenki and Oroqen tribes, and there are also a small number of small tribes of Daganer and Beishan Jurchens. Follow the river to the northwest, almost cut off the flow and walk another two or three hundred miles, is the city of Kulun. ”

Zhang Han stared at the map and saw that there was a small dot in front of Kulun, which should be a small gathering point, a few hundred miles to the northwest, there was a small black circle, Zhang Han sighed with emotion: "That's Helin." ”

"Yes, sir." Xia Xiping said affirmatively: "It's Helin." ”

"The capital of a great empire." Zhang Han smiled slightly and said, "It's almost a ruin now." ”

"Someone from the General Staff Drawing Bureau has been there." Xia Xiping said: "There are only low walls and a small number of buildings left, but it is said that there are a lot of gold, silver and jewels hidden under the city, and some of them have dug up, but unfortunately they have found nothing." ”

"Yes, yes, definitely." Zhang Han laughed and said: "But you can dig it out casually, they are stupid to be herdsmen, if they are good at picking up and digging, they will have been hollowed out by the herdsmen a long time ago!" ”

Xia Xi spread his hands and smiled: "That's it, let's make fun of them." ”

Helin was once the center of the Mongol Empire established by Ögedai Khan, the first center of the huge steppe empire that spanned Europe and Asia and ruled countless countries at that time, and every day I don't know how many people and caravans came in and out of it, and countless riches were concentrated from all over the world to Helin, which was later destroyed in the battle between Ali Buge and Kublai Khan for the throne, and Kublai Khan was determined to be in the Khanate, and his position as Great Khan was not recognized by the rest of the Mongol Khanate, and Helin was gradually abandoned, and after a few hundred years, there were already herds of foxes and rabbits, and the city was in ruins, The ephemeral glory of yesteryear is long gone.

Zhang Han looked at the map carefully, and after half a ring, he shook his head slightly.

Xia Xiping smiled: "It's still a little remote." ”

Zhang Han nodded and said, "Indeed, the price is too great." ”

From Erenhot in the later generations to Saiyin Shanda, then Sumubel, and then all the way to the north is Kulen, and then go straight to the north line is the border Kyakhta of Outer Mongolia, and after Kyakhta is now the territory of Outer Mongolia and the Russians, respectively, the territory of the Buryat Mongols and the Qiergis Mongols, which are now all controlled by the Russians.

The opinion of the military secretary was to build a trading point between Kyakhta and Kulen, which would gradually become a large trading city, and the place would be at a suitable distance, neither too close nor too far from the Russians, and it would be relatively safe to get to Kulen...... No matter how subjugated the Mongols in Mobei, it is estimated that the actual control power will definitely not be able to compare with Monan in a short period of time.

"Settled?" Tian Jitang came over with his hands and exhaled a stream of white gas.

"It's settled, Lao Tian." Zhang Han patted this black-faced thin man, and he made a decision with the upper echelons to plan the matter of raising money, but it was these middle-level people who carried it out and had a headache.

"Start with the construction of the first large-scale supply point in Erren Sanda Nao'er, and at the same time build a military fort...... The military fort is 20,000 taels wide, the supply point is 1,51, the military station is 1,081, the fort is 1,000 tael, the single line, no auxiliary, from the starting point to Kulun is less than 1,500 miles, the military fort should be repaired ten, the platform is 30, the pier is 60, the supply point is 30, and some military stations should be repaired......"

Tian Jitang stretched out five fingers and said, "Count wide, 500,000 taels." ”
