"Hey, it's Tabu in front?"

The two sides were more than a hundred paces apart recently, and someone was shouting behind them.

Tabu Nang looked back and exclaimed, "Lakshin, is that you?" ”

Rakshin took his bow and arrows and put them on his chest, and shouted, "It's really you, Tabu, we have met again on such occasions." ”

Knowing that the Mongol pursuers behind him were the subordinates of Silver Ingot Taiji, Tabu Nang felt very sad in his heart, and shouted, "Do the eagles on the steppe really want to kill each other? ”

"Tabu, we are each our own master, and if I catch up with you, I will fight with all my might, and if I lose, you will cut off my head, and your arrow will pierce my throat." ”

Both sides stopped talking, and Tabu's men began to twist their bodies on horseback and shoot back, and the people behind also threw bows and arrows, hoping to have good luck to shoot a high-speed horse.

In the distance on the east side, there seems to be a cavalry team moving, hoping to wrap up Tabu Sang and the others.

Tabuang knew that there was a Taiji from the Ordos Department stationed in the northwest with thousands of men, and there would also be cavalry coming out to patrol the sentry, as long as he ran there for a while, it would be fine, and now there were still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed in the north, and he didn't believe how far the pursuers behind him could chase.

After chasing back and forth between the two sides, archery, and chasing, and archery, each other's horses were tired, and then Tabu Nang saw the cavalry of the Ordos Department who came to meet him, and he turned to Lakshen and shouted: "Brother Lakshen, you can go back." ”

"I've done my best, Brother Tabunang, and I wish you peace and a good life after this war." ”

Tabu said: "I will definitely be able to, Lakshin you have to be careful." ”

Lakshin laughed a few times and said, "They are determined to lose this battle, don't you see that we are all coming over from the Little Black River Fort?" If you were willing, you would have taken Qingcheng down a long time ago and cut off the way back for the main force here. ”

Tabu Nang smiled bitterly, waved his hand at Lakshin, and ran in the direction of reinforcements.

Laxin slowed his horse, joined up with another group of cavalry, and returned in the direction of the main force.

This group of cavalry is indeed from the side of Xiaoheihe Fort, the two sides are separated by more than 200 miles, originally isolated by tens of thousands of Beiyu, after the efforts of both Xinghe Fort and Xiaoheihe Fort, coupled with the morale of the Beihebao fell badly, the road from Xiaohehe Fort to Daheihe Fort was completely opened, and killed and scattered several tribes of Beihe, and drove their garrison far to the north, although there are still more than 100 miles from Daheihe Fort to Jining Fort, and it is not difficult for more than 1,000 cavalry to intersperse it...... The morale of the Northern Captives is so low that it is unimaginable, it is hard to believe that these guys who are riding horses and archery are still forced to the city of Daming Jingshi decades ago, threatening the safety of Kifu, hundreds of years ago they were still crisscrossing Europe and Asia, invincible.

There were more than 1,000 cavalrymen, including two rounds of cuirassiers, five bureaus of armored cavalry, and Mongolian cavalry led by silver ingots, forming a cavalry team of 1,100 people, led by Zhou Yao, who also had to obey his command.

Compared with combat effectiveness, the subordinates of the silver ingot are more like guides, of course, they are also qualified light cavalry, in the case of good equipment, high morale, and sufficient supplies, the Mongols play the role of light cavalry, responsible for erecting beam horses, scout horses, sentry horses, pond horses and other functions are still very qualified, even better than the original light cavalry of He Yusheng.

Silver Ingot and Zhou Yao led their troops to continue to the east, and Zhang Han also led the team to rush over, compared to the situation when he went out, the current situation has made people feel much more relaxed and reassured.

"I've seen adults."

Zhou Yao was the first to dismount, bowed first from a distance, and then gave a military salute.

Everyone's expressions were a little excited, and many people almost cried, since they entered the whole of He Yusheng, it was the first time that they had lost contact with Zhang Han for so long, or they had not seen Zhang Han for so long.

The officers themselves were very emotional, and then they had to reprimand the rioting cavalry to keep order.

In contrast, the Mongols were much calmer, they just looked at Zhang Han with curious eyes, and there was no lack of awe.

Since the beginning of the year ago, it is now June, this half a year, and Yusheng has proved everything with strength and time, in the eyes of the Mongols, Zhang Han is already a conqueror, mysterious and powerful, the Mongols are very conceited, although barbaric and backward, but they have the capital of pride, that is their glorious past, it is this past that makes them despise the Han people, Lin Dan Khan's arrogance to the newly rising Houjin Tianming Khan also comes from this, he is the co-lord of Mongolia, how can he see the Khan of the Jurchen savage tribe in his eyes?

But Zhang Han is stronger, more fearless, and very mysterious.

Ten thousand soldiers and tens of thousands of men were born to bite such a large piece of land on the territory of the Tumut tribe, which is a remarkable achievement worthy of the awe of the Mongols.

The silver ingot also came over with a smile, he scratched his head, first he couldn't figure out what to call Zhang Han, and then he also twisted and shouted: "I've seen my lord." ”

"Silver ingot, you don't have to come with me for this!"

Zhang Han and the silver ingot both dismounted, Zhang Han and the silver ingot hugged each other, and then Zhang Han slapped the silver ingot on the chest and said with a smile: "You shout like this, don't those people on the grassland want to scold you more?" If the allies don't do it, you want to be my subordinate? ”

"What allies?" Silver Ingot smiled and said, "You have thousands of troops, I have two or three hundred subordinates, have you ever had such an ally?" ”

"No, silver ingots." Zhang Han said with a serious expression: "You will call me Wenlan in the future, or you can call Zhang Dongzhu, don't call me in the tone of your subordinates." ”

"What does that mean?" The silver ingot said with a puzzled expression: "You don't trust me? ”

"Is this possible?"

The silver ingot nodded, and also said: "It's impossible, among the Mongols, you should have no one else to trust except me." ”

Zhang Han shook his head when he heard this, and scolded with a smile: "You are really confident." ”

He explained to the silver ingot: "I and Yusheng's strategy for Mongolia is different from that of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty is eager to destroy Mongolia when the national strength is strong, when Emperor Taizu Gao, he sent Xu Da, Feng Sheng, Lan Yu and other generals into the grassland many times, at that time in order to clear the remnant Yuan forces, the last battle, Lan Yu captured many nobles and high-ranking officials of the remnant Yuan, and the remnant Yuan forces were swept away, which led to the rise of tile thorns and Tatars." The Great Khan of the Golden Family was killed by the Watts, also because their strength was swept away by the Ming Dynasty. By the time of Emperor Taizongwen, he led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses into the steppe five times, and successively attacked the Tile Thorn and Tatar, but also wanted to completely sweep away the Mongol power once and for all, like sweeping the remnants of the Yuan...... In fact, it turned out to be impossible. Hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses entered the grassland, which was equivalent to a small handful of pepper noodles sprinkled in the sea, useless, the Mongols appeared if they wanted to fight, and they couldn't catch up if they didn't want to fight, and hundreds of thousands of people couldn't afford to spend on the grassland. So later, the Ming Dynasty was weak, and could only build the Great Wall, piers, military forts, and establish nine sides, but these two hundred years, still can't help the Mongols' constant invasion, so in addition to Yusheng's military efforts, the other is to change the previous Ming national policy, our allies in the Mongols are as many as possible, regardless of the strength, just ask if you really make friends with us. Sincerely, of course, allies. For now, do we have any true allies besides you? ”

The silver ingot looked thoughtful, and after half a ring, he said in a low voice: "If you want to help me be the emperor of the Han people, I will tell you that it will not work......

"It doesn't work." Zhang Han said quietly: "I don't have such plans, but in addition to allowing the Mongols to elect the Great Khan that everyone recognizes, we also have the 'alliance department' system, that is, our friends are allies, and the tribe is the alliance department." In the military field, we cooperate with each other, cooperate with each other, and there are cultural and economic exchanges, in addition, the alliance is usually self-reliant, and we do not interfere in the internal affairs of the alliance itself. ”

The silver ingot was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that Zhang Han had such a plan for the future of Mongolia!

Judging from the current situation, as long as Bu Shitu Khan and the enemy in front of him are defeated, a large part of the territory of the Tumut Department will fall into the hands of Zhang Han, and what about next year and the year after that? I'm afraid that the Tumut tribes have to face the strong Heyusheng forces, this force is different from the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has not touched the grassland when it was strongest, even if it is a silver ingot, which has a deep relationship with Zhang Han, the state of mind at this time has become extremely complicated.

"That's good...... Silver Ingot said with mixed feelings, "This is the best result." ”

"Well...... Zhang Han said, "We also need land, but the grassland is too big, and we can't occupy much." There are only a few key places, we will build a military fort, establish a sub-station with Yusheng and the Chamber of Commerce, except for a few places, we do not plan to Tuntian...... The Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty were in the Western Regions and the grassland Tuntian, it turned out that the Tuntian hanging far away did not have much significance, and Yusheng's future existence in the grassland was still dominated by commerce, we bought furs, cattle and sheep and war horses, and the Mongols also had their own pastures to graze, and the changes would not be too big. ”

In the fashionable words of later generations, Zhang Han intends to transform Mongolia into a supplier of raw materials, belonging to the lowest end of the industrial chain, and Yusheng can use commercial means to continuously plunder wealth from the grassland, and because it is profitable, even if Zhang Han is gone, these military forts will still be there in the future, and there will be people who will force the Mongols here to continue to provide goods...... As long as this road is cleared, even if the entire grassland is not explicitly occupied, it is actually equivalent to being occupied by He Yusheng.

Zhang Han's plan is actually the way of the great powers, commercial plunder is originally more cost-effective than military occupation, the cost of military occupation is much greater than commercial invasion, the necessary force is like the military fort built by He Yusheng on the grassland, and the rest is commercial plunder, as long as you knock on the disobedient thorn from time to time to support your own agents on the grassland...... When Britain, France, Germany and other old powers were still grabbing colonies everywhere, what the Americans wanted was "open doors", and now Zhang Han is considered to take advantage of the great powers to plunder global wealth, force plus commerce, and a proper colonial model.
