At this time, it was already April of the third year of Hongguang, and the grasslands and mountains were green.

During the recuperation period of Fuyuwei, Qiqihar's logistical supplies were delivered, and the army moved again.

A few months passed, and Inner Mongolia was surprisingly calm, the cavalry gathered near the paddock had withdrawn, and a tacit understanding had formed between the tribes that they could trade with the Han in the paddock, but the Han were not allowed to continue deep into the Inner Mongolian grasslands.

Zhou Huchen thus entered the boundaries of the Xing'an League, which is located in the transition zone from the Great Xing'an Mountains to the Songnen Plain, which is divided into four landform types from northwest to southeast, the middle mountain zone, the low mountain zone, the hilly zone and the plain zone.

The scouts first spotted the Mongol cavalry, but these Mongol cavalry did not attack, they slowly retreated, because the more than 100,000 troops were too terrifying, plus nearly 30,000 cavalry, this was an absolutely irresistible existence for the Mongol cavalry of the Xing'an League. What's more, that dress made them extremely jealous.

The scenery was beautiful and the scenery was pleasant, and Zhou Huchen's army began to rest.

Rest is essential, because a lot of food is consumed. Although some proper replenishment could be obtained along the way, the long-term attrition of the march was a form of helplessness, because the terrain was difficult and all supplies could not be transported by car, only by horses and manpower. Fortunately, Zhou Huchen had a lot of horses, and the soldiers were very adaptable to the march and did not cause a lot of injuries. Still, some of the soldiers had some problems, and the sick and wounded needed to be adjusted, and the grasslands here were undoubtedly suitable.

The entry of a huge army will naturally be concerned, and the territory of the Xing'an League belongs to Lamur Taiji, the leader of the Horqin right-wing former banner tribe who has been to the paddock, and he naturally knows the Ming army's attire. When Zhou Huchen's army had just rested until the next day, Lamurtaiji sent someone to contact him, and he asked to see Zhou Huchen.

Zhou Huchen was waiting for these Mongolian tribal leaders, and he naturally wanted to meet Lamur.

"Welcome to our home, and wish you victory. If the commander is interested, the headquarters is willing to pay tribute every year. ”

Lamur was in his forties, with a standard Mongolian appearance, a broad face, and a pair of slender eyes. This Mongolian Taiji was very polite and respectful to Zhou Huchen.

Lamur's territory is very large, the grasslands are abundant, and it is not a barren land, since he dares to come to meet Zhou Huchen, it is not only a matter of courage, nor is it to ask Zhou Huchen Weishenme to lead the army into his territory. Apparently there was a purpose for him. Lamur is very discerning, since he can turn the battle back, Zhou Huchen must be a big victory, the Qing Kingdom is estimated to be completely finished, this dare to gallop between the black mountains and white waters, dare to enter the grassland to fight and invincible Ming army marshal seems to be going to deal with the Mongolian tribes. In order to prevent killing, Lamur made a decisive choice, because he knew that the Ming people have always eaten this set, as long as you obediently obey. Not only will the Ming people not make a big move, but they will also give you benefits.

In the past, the ministries of Inner Mongolia maintained a tributary relationship with the Ming court, and it didn't matter if they paid tribute to the Jianzhou people or the Ming court, the key was the treatment. Jianzhou people belong to the stick and radish. Let them go to hell! The Ming court is different, and the tributes of the Mongolian tribes will definitely not suffer, which is a historical reference. Lamur was full of anticipation, and he obviously hoped that Zhou Huchen would give him a clear answer.

Of course. Since the tributary is about to be canonized, it seems that it is a little premature, although the matter of re-paying tribute to the Ming court is a matter of time. But Zhou Huchen couldn't call the shots, so he smiled and gave a big bait: "The tribute has to wait for news from the imperial court, Ben Shuai is only here to pursue Jiannu this time, it's better to do this, I can give the head of the Lamur a promise, as long as it is not a weapon, I can bring any goods you want to the territory of the head of the Lamur." ”

"The handsome is wise, and the herdsmen of Tainingwei thank the handsome for his great kindness, but if there is a need, please don't be polite."

Everyone knows that Karaqin's Tabu Nanggurusiqi is already rich, and the tribes are already angry and will use force. In addition to being canonized and nominally protected, the tributary was actually for wealth, and Lamur could not agree.

Since he said this, Zhou Huchen was not polite: "During this long journey, my soldiers need to recuperate, and it just so happens that the head of Lamur has prepared some supplies for me, and has also sent someone to inform the various departments, saying that I have a very haode operation, and everyone will benefit." This time, let's negotiate in the territory of the Lamur head, and when the time comes, the commander will naturally not forget the help of the Lamur head. ”

It was very simple to inform the ministries, in fact, just in case, Lamur had already sent someone to report the news. Although it was a bit laborious to provide supplies for more than 100,000 troops, for the sake of the future, Lamur decided to do his best.

"I wonder how much supplies the marshal needs?"

"Just provide beef and mutton, and there is still a lot of food, and the head of the Lamur will then go and notify the ministries to come here to discuss matters."

How much beef and mutton there is, what makes Lamur curious is the big action in Zhou Huchen's mouth, which obviously touched his heartstrings, so he put his posture very low and very low: "I don't know what other big actions the big man has, this tribe will help." ”

"The tribes of the Hulunbuir Prairie have not paid tribute for many years, and this time Ben Shuai is going to visit the fertile Hulunbuir Prairie." Zhou Huchen did not shy away from it, he directly stated his goal.

Lamur's eyes widened instantly, the Hulunbuir grassland happened to border his territory, belonging to Moxi Mongolia, and not far north from here is the Hulunbuir grassland. The Hulunbuir grassland is the most haode grassland on Shijie, and the nomadic Hulunbuir grassland is the descendants of Emperor Yuan Shun and the descendants of Genghis Khan's eldest brother. Zhou Huchen said that they have not paid tribute for many years, of course, it is a fact, they have been conquered by the Jianzhou people, how to pay tribute to the Ming court? However, the other tribes of Inner Mongolia have also not paid tribute to the Ming court for many years, and Zhou Huchen seems to be taking the Hulunbuir grassland.

The Hulunbuir prairie is now the territory of Hu and Lu, the descendants of the golden family are not good stubble, although he is not the enemy of the people of Jianzhou, but the grassland of his territory is the most fertile, it can be said that the people are thriving, and the soldiers are strong. In addition to the many Mongols, there were many Daur, Evenki, and Oroqen warriors who gave him their lives and were very powerful. The nearby tribes were only able to fight with Hu and Lu when they joined forces, so Hu and Lu never took the weak Lamur tribe seriously.

Most of the Mongols live on water and grass, engage in nomadic animal husbandry, and are economically and politically not subordinate to each other. Tribal lords often had conflicts with each other in order to plunder livestock, land and property, and to compete for dominance, killing and conquering each other. In order to gain the support of the political power, protect themselves, strengthen themselves, and avoid being ruled and enslaved by the other party, they established contacts with the Houjin regime one after another to gain support.

Now that the Qing Dynasty is over, and traditionally, Han people rarely gallop on the grassland, but I didn't expect this powerful Zhou Dashuai to have such a shocking move.

As long as Zhou Dashuai waved his hand, with a flick of his fingers, Hu and Lu would definitely be wiped out. Lamur's eyes began to glow, as if he saw the Hulunbuir steppe smiling at him...... (To be continued......)
