When Wulan heard Hu Guang's words, he became a little more shy, looked at his husband, and said a little embarrassed: "Actually, I can't say much reason, I just think that I can escape the siege of the Ming army, and I can grow crops there." So...... So I mentioned it. ”

One of the main problems in the pass was that it was impossible to grow crops, and the second problem was that the Ming Dynasty would continue to send troops to encircle and suppress it. If you change to Guanwai, you can indeed solve these two problems.

All of you here are men from northern Shaanxi, close to the grassland. Naturally, it is known that Tumut is located in the plain, which is the former area of the famous Hetao Plain. The land is fertile and a good place to grow crops.

Since ancient times, there have been many Han people who could not survive in the Guannei and went out of the customs to the Hetao Plain to seek a living. Not to mention, when Altan Khan was alone, many Han people went out, and even became the think tank of Altan Khan, and turned back to fight in the pass.

These people, who now seem to be traitors, naturally did not end well. In the end, when Altan Khan negotiated peace with the Ming Dynasty, he handed over these Han people as a condition. Of course, these are digressions.

However, as had already been raised from the beginning, there were Mongols on the steppe, and how could they be willing to ask the Celestial Army to invade their territory!

Hu Guang obviously also saw everyone's questions, and he immediately took over the topic of Ulan and said: "Okay, then let's discuss it again, can we ask the Heavenly Army to gain a foothold on the grassland?" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately began to talk about it.

For the Ming Dynasty at this time, they had a psychological advantage over the Upper Mongols. Because in recent decades, the Mongols have hardly bargained for much from the Ming army.

The Mongols invaded the valley almost every year. But almost every time he was driven out by the Ming army. Even a few of the more courageous generals in the Ming army would occasionally go out to the grassland to sneak attack.

The Mongols, who were once invincible in the world and built the largest human empire. It's long gone that the momentum it used to be. The main thing is that they do not have a strong leader, there is no unity among the tribes, there is a lack of materials, and even some tribes use bone arrows.

These men from northern Shaanxi said a word, and I said a word, and slowly everyone had confidence. All of a sudden. The atmosphere in the lobby was warm.

However, as a result of the discussion, we slowly came to the conclusion that we were not afraid of the Mongols who were not too numerous in number. I'm afraid that those Mongols will suddenly run out and make trouble.

If the crops have been planted with hard work, and the harvest is about to be harvested, the Mongols suddenly come and attack them, this kind of thing is also a headache. After all, cavalry comes and goes like the wind. It's hard to prevent.

It is also possible that several tribes will join forces. It has far exceeded the number of people who called the heavenly army to come and grab food, and it is impossible to keep the crops in a place like the one outside the Guan, where there is no fortified city.

After the difficulties of establishing a base outside the customs were concentrated here, Hu Guang said with a smile: "If we can solve this problem, will everyone agree to go to the outside of the gates?" ”

After such a detailed discussion, the people present had no choice, so they naturally nodded yes.

After receiving an affirmative reply, Hu Guang turned his gaze to Wulan and said, "Sister-in-law." Is there a place where we can effectively defend ourselves against the enemies on the steppe? ”

Ulan listened. Frowning willow eyebrows, he lowered his head and thought about it.

When everyone saw it, they didn't dare to disturb it, hoping that Ulan would say the word "yes".

Hu Kuan, who brought Ulan back from the grassland, is relatively familiar with the grassland among the people here. He thought about it, but he couldn't think of such a place.

He could only look at his wife, hoping that she, who was born and raised on the Tumochuan Plain, could name a place.

Hu Guang waited for a while, but before he saw a reply, he reminded her: "Sister-in-law, where is Daqingshan?" ”

To the north of the Tumochuan Plain is the tall Daqing Mountain, which belongs to the Yinshan lineage, and the trend from west to east blocks the cold snap from the north.

When Wulan heard this, she immediately raised her head and looked at Hu Guang with a little surprise, but just when Hu Guang thought there was a place, she still shook her head and said: "The south side of Daqing Mountain is very steep, and I haven't walked it all, so I'm not familiar with the situation over there." ”

Hu Kuan was a little curious, turned his head and asked Hu Guangdao: "Second brother, could it be that you have been thinking about this place?" ”

He was really right, when Hu Guang went to Yan'an Mansion, when he heard that the Mongols often entered the customs to plunder but often ran into ashes, he was thinking, since the Mongols were not as bad as the Ming army, would it be much easier to build a base outside the pass?

This idea is also based on a memory of later generations. He happened to hear a veteran revolutionary comrade talking about the Daqingshan revolutionary base area outside the Guanguan. That's why he mentioned Daqingshan.

It's just that he has never been to Daqingshan, and he doesn't know anything about the terrain over there, so he hasn't said it. It's just that he didn't expect that Ulan actually proposed to build a base outside the Guan, which made him feel a kind of joy.

Now when he heard the eldest brother ask, he immediately replied: "I have seen the map outside the Guanwai, so I have an idea, if our base is backed by Daqing Mountain and extends to the Tumochuan Plain. As much strength as you have, you can expand to the Tumochuan Plain, is this possible? ”

"But I haven't been there, and I don't know the specific terrain over there, the distribution of the Tumut tribes, and the current power situation of the grassland, so I didn't propose this place from the beginning."

"Now that my sister-in-law has brought it up, I will remind you to see if my sister-in-law can remember that there is such a place where we can retreat into Daqing Mountain, enter and occupy the Tumochuan Plain, and wait for an opportunity to strengthen our strength, and then look at the pass and rescue our ordinary people......"

As he was talking about this, Ulan suddenly interrupted him and said: "Second uncle, we ordinary herdsmen on the grassland have a very hard life, and we are oppressed by those noble lords, we ask the Heavenly Army to also go to the masters for them and fight those noble lords!" ”

When she saw what the Heavenly Army was doing and heard the purpose of calling the Heavenly Army proposed by Hu Guang, as a Mongolian, she naturally remembered her compatriots in her hometown, who lived a poor life as well. Some are even more miserable and poorer than the ordinary people in the Guannai. I don't know when I already had this idea in my heart, and I took this opportunity to say it.

When Hu Guang heard this, he smiled and said: "Of course, the poor people in the world are one family!" No matter who is oppressed by those noble lords, we call the heavenly army to be the master for them! ”

Hearing Hu Guang's agreement, Wulan seemed very happy, and when he was about to speak, Hu Kuan shook his head and said: "Second brother, I remember, I am afraid that the Tumochuan Plain cannot be used as a base unless it is remote." For there is a city of naturalization, where the throne of the sons of Altan Khan is located. (To be continued......)
