In the snowy grassland, a cavalry of more than 500 people marched around. [This article is from www.]

The cavalrymen were all dressed in thick leather coats with gray-yellow hats.

"This is the place where I followed Your Majesty to fight Dolgon, when the Tartars 80,000 iron armor were outside the block, no one could stop them, Your Majesty strategized, led 3,000 Han cavalry to ally the Mongolian five divisions, defeated the Tartar army of the Western Expedition here, and beheaded 20,000. If it weren't for the final division of the Mongol tribes, the Tatars would never have been able to enter the customs."

The car wind is rare and interested, pointing to a high slope in the shape of a steamed bun and boasting to the generals around him.

Xiao Zhiyan, the Duke of Qin, was left in the city of Beijing, and the elite cavalry of the Ming Dynasty was divided into two, which were led by him and Li Dingguo respectively. Li Dingguo was stationed on the outskirts of Beijing, and he was ordered to be stationed in Datong.

When he first received the military order, he was unhappy. Li Dingguo is stationed in the suburbs of Beijing, and most likely has the opportunity to participate in next year's battle to conquer Liaodong. There is news from the DPRK that the scale of the conquest of Liaodong next year will not be too large, and the goal is to recover Ningjin. Feng Qin and Li Dingguo are the candidates who have been decided, and at most there is a team of soldiers and horses, I don't know?

Seven days ago, a heavy snow passed, the weather had just cleared, and the court order came to Datong, and his affairs came, earlier than Li Dingguo.

Two thousand Great Zhou cavalry went out to kill Hukou for twenty miles and did not see the Tumut scouts, he led 500 cavalry to gallop to Guihua City, where there were only the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the Tumut herdsmen all migrated to Hetao for the winter.

The car was in high spirits, as if he had returned to fifteen years ago, and a weak voice came from behind him: "Aren't there many bones buried here?" ”

Che Feng's heart trembled slightly, and he shook the reins and shouted: "Drive" He didn't look back, nor did he reprimand this subordinate who didn't have long eyes, because it was his son Che Renxiong who spoke.

When his son was born, he had just killed the eldest son of the Chechen Khan in Monan. Thinking that the two Khans of Alukharka had died at his own hands, he drank a little wine and became enthusiastic, hoping that his son would be like himself in the future and name him Che Renxiong.

However, his name is "Renxiong", his son has not grown up to be what he expected, although he is not afraid to kill people on the battlefield, but he always feels a little unpleasant when he looks at him.

The iron hooves left a faint line in the snow that stretched into the distance. A small half of this cavalry were Tumuts, who were young men who had been married to Princess Ulan, and who were now battle-hardened cavalry commanders.

I haven't been out of the plug for more than ten years, and the car wind is as familiar with this land as the palm prints in the palm of my hand. After running west for a long time, they finally saw the tent of the Tumuts.

Cattle and sheep gathered on a sunny hillside, and seven or eight herdsmen rode vigilantly to meet them.

"The Tumuts still know how to take precautions," Che Feng laughed and greeted, "This is Tuoketo, and after crossing the river in front of it, it is the river loop."

The Hetao is the best winter place for the Mongols, and it belongs to the Tumut people. The Hetao was owned by Tumut a long time ago, and the westward migration of Chahar broke the pattern of the steppe, and several major wars broke out in the Hetao, but this place still belonged to Tumut.

Now there are few people in the Monan steppe, and there are only 30% of the population of Chahar and Tumut when they were prosperous, and no one comes to compete with the Tumut people for the Hetao.

The cavalry exchanged the liquor they had brought with them for some milk and cooked meat, and finally reached the Yellow River before the sun set.

Rows of yurts appeared in front of them, the cavalry cheered, and the charioteers said happily: "Finally, I don't have to spend the night in the ice and snow." Everyone was apprehensive about the cold night before.

Che Feng scolded with a smile: "I knew that there were people here, and there was a better pasture in the grassland than on the banks of the Yellow River?" ”

A troop of more than 200 Tumert cavalry came up, and the two sides were separated by dozens of paces, and the wind shouted loudly: "Hey, is Geriletu or Tokbo here?"

The leader of the cavalry who came dismounted and saluted, and said: "In Xia Wuliji, the two commanders are in Hetao, are you the cavalry of the Great Zhou?" ”

Che Feng said dissatisfiedly: "If it's not the cavalry of the Great Zhou, who else will it be?" ”

The visitor became enthusiastic, and as he walked forward, he said, "I once met the emperor of the Great Zhou, and he drank wine in my tent. ”

Che Feng agreed, but he didn't have time to chatter with the unknown Tumut: "In that case, can you take us to the two commanders, Geriletu and Tokbo?" I have been ordered to consult with them on urgent matters. ”

"Of course," Uligi patted his chest, "but aren't you going to spend the night in our tent?" ”

"Of course," the wind slapped the wine bag hanging from the horse's buttocks, "we have the strongest burning knife here"

Hiding in a sturdy yurt, the winter grassland night was still cold, and the wind blew like a knife overhead, Uliji sat on the ground with the wind on the chariot, pouring a muddy burning knife down his throat.

“…… Back then, His Majesty also walked into my tent on such a cold night, and at that time I thought that the horse thief came from somewhere," Wu Liji burped, "I didn't expect him to become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty now." ”

Che Feng's voice was very hard: "It's not Da Ming, it's Da Zhou who is going to leave early tomorrow, so let's rest early." ”

For the first time, Che Renxiong heard the Mongols talk about His Majesty's affairs in the steppe, which was not as heroic as he had heard before, but he found it more appealing than what he had heard from his father's mouth.

Ulligi shook the curtain and walked out, and the barking of a shepherd dog could be heard outside.

The car walked to the door and pressed the curtain again, turning back and pouring on the soft blanket.

"Mongolian, what do you know, you dare to talk about Your Majesty" The enthusiasm on Che Feng's face dissipated, "Rest early, and see those two tomorrow, it will inevitably be a confrontation." ”

The yurt fell silent, and the wind above the tent was even more intense.

The next morning, the cavalry crossed the Yellow River on solid ice. When he reached the center of the river, the charioteer was apprehensive, but when he saw Ulligi and his father laughing and urging his horse to gallop, and the iron hooves pounding heavily on the ice, he was convinced that the ice could indeed pass the cavalry.

The Hetao is warmer than the Guihua City, and wandering shepherds and livestock can be seen every five or six miles.

Uligi inquired with the herdsmen all the way, and finally found the Tokbo tribe's camp in the middle of the afternoon.

Che Feng ordered his son to put up the Great Zhou banner that had been rolled up on his body. Tokbo and his men came out to meet them, and welcomed them into the horde.

Conditions here were much better than those of the tribes along the Yellow River, and each cavalryman was given a steaming cup of milk tea. The Tumuts arranged tents for the Great Zhou cavalry, and Che Renxiong stayed with his father in the largest tent.

Tokbo asked: "General Che, in the cold winter and snow, so you will come to the grassland?" ”

Che Feng maintained a bold sitting posture, and said in a rough voice: "I have come to convey the decree of Your Majesty, and the Ming Emperor and the concubine Niangniang will return to the province in the spring of the year, and I am ordered to come to tell the two commanders and make some preparations." ”

"Imperial Concubine Niangniang?" Tokbo reacted for a moment before realizing that she was the princess of Tumut at that time. But now Omubu Khan is still in Shengjing, and there is no relatives in the Khan family in the Tumut tribe.

"The grassland is really cold," Che Feng exhaled into the palms of his folded hands, and said, "Where is Geriletu?" I have some things to counsel with you.

Tokbo said, "Oh, he's not far from here, so I'll send someone to call him." ”

When Geriletu arrived, it was already dark. The Mongols did not light torches in the winter of the steppe, and the faint light of the snow was enough to illuminate.

The attendants warmed the wine over a charcoal fire.

Che Feng, Tokbo, and Griletu sat around a table, and the chariot man stood behind his father. The wine flowed like water into the stomachs of the three of them, and he felt that he could not deal with the Mongols like his father.

"The princess is coming back," said Gřiltu, who stroked the white hair on his temples and continued to drink and reminisce about the past, "I followed Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine to sell grain and horses under the nose of the Chahar army, and when the princess returned, I was already old. ”

"What is the old man, just in the prime of life" Che Feng filled him with wine with his own hands, "I heard that you have raised five sons, what a strongest horse"

The three of them laughed.

"The imperial concubine returned to her hometown and brought a great gift to Tumut," Che Feng's greasy palm touched his mouth a few times, "From next year onwards, Tumut's war horses will not worry about the road, and the herdsmen will no longer have to worry about the famine on the grassland." ”

He swung his right fist vigorously, "Your Majesty has ordered me to bring good news, Da Zhou will cooperate with the Tumuts to raise horses." ”

Geriletu and Tokbo were confused at the same time: "Cooperative horse breeding? ”

"I will send a special horse breeder to cooperate with Tumut, pay a deposit to buy it from the time the pony is raised, and when it matures, it will be integrated into the Great Zhou cavalry.

Tokbo wondered: "The Tumut people specially help Da Zhou raise horses?" ”

"We only need the best war horses, so Tumut cooperated with Da Zhou to set up a special horse farm, Da Zhou ensured that the good horses in the horse farm went, but Tumut also had to ensure the supply of war horses."

Tuo Kebo said: "My Tumut people are scarce, and they may not be able to meet the requirements of the Great Zhou, and there are not many war horses in our department. ”

"It's okay, since Your Majesty has spoken, all the problems can be solved. In my Great Zhou, someone will pay to buy stallions in the northern part of the Saibei Tribe, and the Tumuts only need to help them, and if the Tumut is short of manpower, I can send Han people out of the Saibei in Dazhou. ”

Gřiltu clapped his hands and cheered: "Okay"

Tokbo cautiously asked, "Where is the horse farm located?" ”

The word "Hetao" popped out from the front teeth of the car wind, "The Great Zhou people pay the money, Tumut pays the people, of course, the Great Zhou can also send people, the Great Zhou court guarantees the market, and the two sides share the money." ”

It is not easy for his brain and mouth to explain such a complicated matter, and it is not in vain that he consulted Fan Yongdou in Datong for several days.

Tokbo asked calmly: "How to divide the money?" ”

"Someone will go to Guihua City to talk about specific things in a few days," Che Feng turned his head and smiled at Geriletu: "With the horse farm, you will have five more sons, and you will be able to keep several generations of wealth."

Gřiletu laughed in response.

Tokbo asked, "But since the Hetao has set up a horse farm, can't the Tumuts come and graze?" ”

Che Feng nodded: "Da Zhou spent money, just to raise horses well, there is pasture on the grassland, why do Tumut have to graze in the Hetao, and besides, the Tumut people who raise horses will get enough compensation." ”

"No" Tokbo suddenly changed his face and shook his head resolutely: "We can't make a decision on this matter, only the Great Khan can decide." ”
