Volume 2: Song of Winter Chapter 285 Expansion (II)

"Your Excellency has made the right decision!" Zuo Ruo and Xiao Zhiyan walked side by side on the mountain road in the dark. They went to visit Lei Yanqian together, as the three people who came out of Shaanxi, they had old friendships in the past, and their relationship has always been very close.

"I'm afraid it will arouse the suspicion of the court!" Xiao Zhiyan was worried.

"The Water Margin all said, "Zhao'an, Zhao'an, Zhao'an", the adult is forced to enter the Ming Dynasty, and it is a fool's dream to get the trust of the imperial court. Whether it is Gao Taiwei or Su Taiwei, they are all raccoon dogs. "Zuo Ruo sees the world clearly.

"Don't talk nonsense, the little brother is not Song Jiang, and I am not Lu Junyi!" Zuo Ruo imitated Li Kui's rude tone, which made Xiao Zhiyan couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard it, and said, "Do you say that Meng Kang is Li Kui?" ”

"He is not Li Kui, he is a hundred times more shrewd than Li Kui!" Zuo Ruo put away the look on his hippie smile and said, "I'm worried that the second brother is too prejudiced against adults and can't stay here with peace of mind." ”

"You said that he is so big with white and long, how can his mind be smaller than sesame seeds!" Xiao Zhiyan shook his head and complained, "If he doesn't stay here, what good place can he go?" ”

Zuo Ruo was silent, and there were some things that he couldn't say. Now there are not a few people who are interested in Zhai Zhe's cavalry, and the governor of Xuanda must be eyeing him, and Lei Yanqian made such a fuss, just exposing the cover door.

As they spoke, the two arrived outside Lei Yanqian's camp, and the soldiers guarding the door saluted after seeing it clearly.

"Is Ray Guarded here? What about the injury? ”

The guard didn't dare to hide it, and replied: "My lord is resting in the tent, and in the afternoon, the army Zhonglang Zhong came to apply the medicine, saying that it was a flesh injury, and he needed to rest for more than ten days before he could get out of bed!" ”

"If you report it, just say that the two of us came to see him!"

Xiao Zhiyan and Zuo Ruo were both guerrilla generals in the army, one level older than Lei Yanqian, and the soldiers did not dare to delay and turned to leave.

The two of them waited in the night breeze, and saw that the barracks in the valley were lit with lights, and the evening breeze was blowing, which was very comfortable. After a while, the soldier came back with a nervous face, and said to the two with an embarrassed expression: "The garrison said that he is not feeling well and does not want to see the two generals!" ”

"What!" Xiao Zhiyan was shocked and was about to do it.

Zuo Ruo grabbed him by the sleeve and said to the soldiers, "Then we will come back another day!" He guessed that Lei Yanqian must have felt extremely embarrassed today and couldn't face the two of them, not to mention that the original three brothers, these two were guerrilla generals, and he was still a garrison, and his heart was even more uneven.

The affairs of the army should not be delayed for a single day.

The next day, nearly 100 soldiers in Xiao Zhiyan's army who had connections in Shaanxi led the entanglement and left Fangshan, and Zhai Zhe hoped that as long as one person could bring ten people, they could expand by a thousand.

The army was stationed on the border, and Zhai Zhe asked the governor's palace to station the army in the border grassland on the grounds that the cavalry needed forage to raise horses, and Lu Xiangsheng replied three days later to approve his request. Since he was allowed to run Mongolia, of course, he couldn't be locked in Daming all the time, and the forage consumption of five thousand war horses was also a big burden for Datong Town.

After spending another ten days preparing grain and grass, the army finally left the Ming Dynasty and walked towards the grassland, leaving only 100 people from the Fengqin Department to stay in the Fangshan camp. When passing through the Victory Fort, the defenders of the fort looked at the castle after renovation, and as long as the Qing did not use artillery to attack, it was still firmly defended, and the food and grass supplies of the cavalry of Zhai Zhe would be stored here.

I used to feel lonely when I was in the grassland, but after turning around, I realized that it was not so bad here, and Daming was not so good. Stepping on the soft grass again, Zhai Zhe felt kind.

Liangcheng is surrounded by mountains, and the center of Daihai is surrounded by the most fertile water and grass, and the early Wulan came to greet him, as excited as entertaining guests in his hometown.

The Tumut herdsmen avoided it from a distance, this cavalry waved the banner of the Ming Dynasty, they were not sure that it was the former Han Department. Even if they knew that it was the Han Department, after the fire in Guihua City, the two sides were already strangers.

The messenger had already informed Omub Khan that the tribes of Geriltu, which was adjacent to Zhai Zhe, would not cause trouble. Han cavalry built simple earthen houses on the edge of the mountains and forests on the border, and at first glance they were preparing to stay for a long time.

After all the arrangements in the army were made, Zhai Zhe made an appointment to meet with Omubu Khan. He was now the target of the Mongols in the steppe, and in order not to cause trouble to the Tumuts, he invited Omubu Khan to meet him at Bansheng on the beach of Fengzhou.

Tomogawa, Toyoshu Beach.

In previous years, it was supposed to be the time when the rice stalks in the field swayed in the wind, but this year, I saw the grass all over the ground. In the grassland, the land cannot be abandoned for a year, otherwise it will become a grassland. The Han Chinese, who had just returned, were busy in the fields, sowing seeds on the land abandoned by the Helingerhan tribe, but the harvest was clearly not enough to feed so many people.

The sweat tent of the omb Khan was entrenched in the hidden place of the mountain forest, and the sweat tent cavalry was vigilant around.

Zhai Zhe didn't dare to ride his big black horse, and found a flower horse from the army, a group of seventy or eighty people, wearing a hat on his head, and walked into the land of Fengzhou Beach. The sweat tent guards came to meet them and led them into the mountains and forests.

The soldiers stayed outside the sweat tent, guarded by Tumut cavalry, and Zhai Zhe walked into the sweat tent alone before taking off the hat on his head.

Omub Khan sat in the midst of it.

"Meet the Great Khan!" Zhai Zhe bowed and bowed, although it was not the former affiliation.

Omubu's face was still as pale and haggard as before, as if he had been seriously ill, and his dream of reviving Tumut's majesty was gone.

"Are you still in Daming?" After the loss, Omubu Khan was finally able to talk to Zhai Zhe like a friend.

"With the care of the Great Khan and King Ezhe Khan, I finally got through the difficulties." Zhai Zhe gestured to the outside of the tent and said, "Ulan is also back!" ”

Omubu Khan flashed a hint of excitement, but quickly reined in, sighed and said, "Just let her stay in Daming!" "Tumut had been at the center of the maelstrom all these years, and Ombu Khan could not escape, and after so much humiliation, finally the situation turned against him, and at the same time lost his sister.

"I'm here to tell the Great Khan that I'm going to marry her!" Zhai Zhe raised his head, "I'll treat her well!" "He didn't dare to say he had a wife.

"I have entrusted him to you a long time ago!" In fact, Omubu Khan was still a little unwilling in his heart.

"In two months, I will hold a wedding banquet outside the Victory Castle, and the Governor of Xuanda of the Ming Dynasty will also be there!"

"Really?" Omubu Khan showed a hint of surprise, "The Ming court knows that you have married the princess of Tumut?" ”

"Exactly!" Zhai Zhe didn't know if the governor of Xuanda knew it or not, and the imperial court knew.

"Then I can't disgrace the face of the Tumertes!" Omb Khan muttered in his mouth, stood up and walked a few steps, and made up his mind to say: "I will come too!" I don't know if he would think so if he knew that Ulan married Zhai Zhe and was a flat wife.

This is the situation that Zhai Zhe wants to see the most, he and Tumut are separated and combined, in fact, they are still the most trustworthy Tumut people in the grassland, especially after he married Ulan.

"You're here for this?" Omb Khan sat down again, and he was calculating what kind of dowry he would prepare for Ulan.

"That's not all!" Zhai Zhe stretched out his hand and pointed out the tent, "I saw the land of Fengzhou Beach when I came, Tumut will not have any more harvest this year, and those Han people may not be able to hold out until next spring." ”

"I'm worried about it, too!" The wrinkles on Omubu Khan's face were deeper.

"Since the Great Khan can't feed them, it's better to let them live!"

Before Zhai Zhe's words were finished, Omubu Khan immediately became vigilant and said, "What do you mean! These are the tribes of my Tumut since they joined my tribe of Tumut. ”

I'd rather starve to death than let people go. Zhai Zhe thought for a while and said, "I can traffic some grain out of the fortress to protect some people, but there is a requirement!" ”

"Say!"

"I'm going to pick a thousand cavalry from these Han Chinese!"

"How much food can you traffick?" Omubu Khan was even more vigilant, and Zhai Zhe wanted to expand his army and even beat the idea to the Tumut tribe, and there were more than 30,000 Han people in the tribe, and those people were his slaves.

"I don't know! But I will do my best to feed them, and they came out with me back then. Zhai Zhe told the truth. This year, Xuanfu and Datong are also short of food, all relying on the hard work of the merchants in Jindi for half a year, and now it seems that Lu Xiangsheng's decision is really correct, "Even after this year, there will be next year, and the Qingyu will no longer tolerate the Monan grassland as before, and it is difficult to guarantee the harvest of the land in Fengzhoutan." If the Great Khan still wants to cultivate these lands, he must build a castle in the steep part of Liangcheng, and when the Qing captives come, these Han people will have a place to hide! This is also one of Zhai Zhe's purposes.

"The Han people's victorious fort can't hold the artillery of the Qing captives, what's the use of me building a castle in the grassland? Besides, I will never defend a city. Omubu Khan thought that Zhai Zhe was deceiving him.

"The Barbarian Mountain is steep, and the artillery can't move it. In the future, when the Qing captives came to invade Monan, Tumut and Chahar could migrate westward, and these Han people had nowhere to escape, so I did this to leave you a place to hide, and it was not easy to attack a castle built on the mountain. The Mongols are not good at guarding, so I can send my soldiers to help. ”

"You sent soldiers?" Omub Khan's eyes widened.

"In the grassland, are you still afraid that I will not be able to play any tricks? These people are still Tumut's tribesmen, and the grain obtained from cultivating the land belongs to the Great Khan, and I am just helping the Great Khan to protect them, after all, they are all Han Chinese. Zhai Zhe spread out his hands, "I married Ulan, the Tumut people are stronger, my kung fu is not in vain, do you want to be cheap Chahar for nothing!" ”

This sentence touched the sore spot of Omubu Khan, and he sighed and said, "If only you had thought so!" ”

"I thought so, you wouldn't marry Ulan to me!" Zhai Zhe muttered in his heart, and said: "This year's cultivation period has passed, and the Han people in the tribe have nothing to do, so they are just building a castle." Both of my cottages in Helinger are also owned by the Tumut tribe. The adults can migrate the Han people westward, take the Han village as the center and cultivate along the banks of the Yellow River, and return after the Tumo River is stable. ”

His purpose was precisely to master these Han Chinese of the Tumut tribe, and the slaves of Omubu Khan were his treasures. More than 30,000 Han people, although he selected the remaining ones back then, it is not a problem to select one or two thousand cavalry from them, which is a hundred times faster than recruiting Han people from the Ming Dynasty and training them into cavalry.
