The living conditions of ordinary Mongolian herders in recent years have also been very poor.

After all, now that the Ming Dynasty is strong, the risk of letting them enter the customs to collect food has increased significantly, and many times they dare not break into the Great Wall to get food, and in addition, Jiannu did not bully them before being surrounded by the Ming army.

In addition, the climate of the Xiaoice River has exacerbated the wind and snow disasters outside the Guan, affecting the livestock industry.

Therefore, the current herdsmen of the Mongolian tribes also have to fight famine many times.

Therefore, when the Ming Dynasty did not develop the Hanhai Coal Mine, but gathered a large army to come here and was ready to recruit some Mongolian herdsmen to work in the mine, there were also many Mongolian herdsmen who were willing to give up their nomadic life and come to the mining area, in order to enjoy the food and accommodation treatment provided by the Ming Dynasty plus a salary ranging from 500 wen a month to a hanging, and became hired workers here.

Mining is already underway at the mine.

The Han miners are mainly mature miners transferred from Xishan Coal Mine, with senior mining technology and experience.

Among the Mongolian herders employed, women and the elderly are mainly responsible for picking coal, i.e. sorting coal by size; The young men were led by Han miners to do the most tiring work in the process of mining, and by the way, Han miners trained their mining skills.

When Zhu Yujian was instructed by Xia Yunyi to take it away to the center of mining, he heard the sound of tinkling and ding.

At the same time, Zhu Yujian also saw that around a steel track full of newly mined coal, there were already many Mongolian herders squatting.

The Mongolian herders are throwing coal of various sizes into several dustpans around them.

Zhu Yujian didn't plan to ask these Mongolian women and children who were picking up coal about the way to contact the Mongolian tribal leaders here, so he only walked to the mining area and walked over a middle-aged Mongolian man who was carrying two baskets of coal mines hard.

After the Mongolian man in the prime of life picked up two baskets of coal onto the rails and poured them, Zhu Yujian came over and asked in Mongolian: "Do you know where your Shuolei Jinong is, and can you help me contact him, if so, I will give you fifty taels of silver." ”

This Mongolian man in the prime of life is named Saida, and he happens to be a ranger of the Chechen Khan, and now he has come to the Daming mining area to open a mine, which is just equivalent to making some money temporarily, after all, earning money here is much lower than the risk of entering the customs and looting.

After hearing this, Saida said: "Yes! But what should I call you? ”

"Just call me to join the army."

Zhu Yujian was first-class, and when he was put here, he became the secretary of the army next to Xia Yunyi.

The secretary of the army is a new governor subordinate of the Ming Dynasty.

The purpose of these vassals was to facilitate the implementation of the policy, and the court could directly manage and support the governor's subordinates, and the governor's own staff were no longer hired at the governor's own expense.

Soon after Zhu Yujian finished speaking, he asked Saida to take him and the more than 50 cavalry sent to him by Xia Yunyi to the location of the camp of Jinong Shuoli of the Chechen Khan.

Jinong is an official position in Mongolia, and it is a high-status aristocratic official position.

And now the supreme ruler of the Mongol Chechen Khan in this area is Jinong Shuolei.

"Hey, the Han people in front, are you going to see my father?"

Just when Zhu Yujian came to the main tent of the Chechen Khan with more than 50 cavalry and Saida, the woman who was molested by Zhu Yujian also ran over with more than 30 Mongolian cavalry, blocked their way, and asked Zhu Yujian.

Zhu Yujian didn't laugh with the Mongolian woman again this time, but said with a calm face: "The matter of the Heavenly Empire, how can you wait to ask?!" If you don't get out of the way, don't blame my heavy cavalry generals for trampling into pulp! ”

The Mongolian woman suddenly raised her eyebrows, her cherry lips pursed, and she pinched the reins, but because she found that the other party, as an official of the Ming Kingdom, was indeed well-equipped, not to mention wearing armor, even the horse was obviously bought from the Western Regions, tall and strong, and the fire gun in her hand was obviously a divine gun that she had seen before that could shoot a hundred paces away, so she had to stretch out her hand and wave her cavalry to the side, and she herself also beat her horse and retreated to the side.

Zhu Yujian saw that this Mongolian woman was interested, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and just continued to fight the horse and move forward.

And the Mongolian woman and the more than 30 riders beside her did not leave, chasing the sunset, but continued to the east, behind Zhu Yujian and others, slowly following, and a pair of big eyes could not hide the anger at Zhu Yujian.

However, the Mongolian woman still kept her sanity and did not choose to go up and attack Zhu Yujian and his fifty cavalry.

There is no way, the Mongolian tribes have declined too quickly, and they have long lost the momentum of penetrating the Eurasian continent in the past, especially now that the main young men of the Chahar Department led by Lin Dan Khan were completely annihilated by the Ming Dynasty in the area of the West Mountains of Gyeonggi, and the Jiannu also took away a lot of young and strong people from the Mongolian tribes later, today's Mongolian tribes are not only short of materials, but also lack of expensive iron tools, so that they cannot be modified with heavy cavalry, they are still mainly light cavalry, and there is a serious lack of young and strong.

Therefore, even if the status of this Mongolian woman is not low at this time, the number of small cavalry around her is not as large as the number of cavalry led by Zhu Yujian of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it is precisely because the Ming Dynasty sent more than 100,000 troops into the territory of the Tatar tribes at once, and also robbed many Mongolian young people, so it attracted the attention of the Mongolian tribes, especially the Chechen Khan, who ruled here.

"Although I don't know what you are going to do, I can tell you that my father has agreed to marry the right-wing Zasaktu Khan, to form Anda, and to marry my sister to him, and the Khan of the Zasaktu Khan has also promised my father to send troops together to attack you Ming people who have ventured into my Chechen Khan's territory! If you go to see my father now, you will only be scolded and driven away by him! ”

The Mongolian woman suddenly shouted at Zhu Yujian and the others after thinking about it.

After hearing this, Zhu Yujian laughed coldly: "You should go back and tell Ling Zun that if you really want to keep his wealth and glory, it is better to choose my Ming nobles to marry, hoping that through the marriage of other Tatar tribes, you can fight against my Huanghuang Daming, it is simply wishful thinking!" This will only cause Sister Ling to watch the two tribes perish! ”

As he spoke, Zhu Yujian then shouted loudly: "Unless he really thinks that he is still in the time of Temujin and Kublai Khan!" In fact, if you Tatar tribes really want to regain their prestige, you must belong to my Ming Dynasty and pay tribute to my Ming Emperor, because without the help of my Ming Dynasty, you will not even have enough arrows to open your bow and stirrups to ride your horses! ”

"Are you yourself?"

The Mongolian woman asked suddenly.

"Naturally not!"

Zhu Yujian glanced at the Mongolian woman as he spoke, and said, "I'm more interested in her sister." ”

The Mongolian woman blushed, and then after glancing ahead, she said, "It's too late for you to withdraw now!" ”

Zhu Yujian was also seeing a large number of Mongolian cavalry suddenly appear in front of him at this time, slowly flowing over like a black torrent.

Saida and a group of Ming cavalrymen who came with Zhu Yujian all looked at him.

The Mongolian woman sneered and asked, "What, do you still want to ask my father for marriage?" ”

"It's okay!"

Zhu Yujian said a word, and he really beat his horse and rushed towards the large number of Mongolian cavalry gathered in front without hesitation.

The Mongolian woman couldn't help but look nervous, so she hurriedly followed with the cavalry beside Zhu Yujian.

"Zhu joins the army, look at the back!"

And Saida, who followed Zhu Yujian, suddenly shouted.

Zhu Yujian also glanced back after hearing this.

Seeing this, Zhu Yujian hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" ”
