Chapter 139: Attachment
People often think that Mongolia is a blood-related race, but in fact Mongolia is a regional name.
Even the Mongolian tribes are only real, but Mongolia may not be.
But Mongolia has two major advantages.
One is Temujin, and the other is a pony.
After Temujin died, only the pony was left.
But when Temujin was there, they had everything, including the Jin Kingdom's Zhajia, Song Dynasty gunpowder, Western Xia Malaysia, Western Regions Hui Hui Cannon, which was a war machine armed by the most strong world.
The inheritance Temujin left to their descendants was enough for them to lose for a hundred years.
They did lose for a hundred years, and a hundred years later, on the Mongolian Plateau where Genghis Khan emerged, his descendants were useless to use iron.
On the edge of Wei Lat, the situation was much better. They occupied the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, which were rich in grain. In the words of Zuo Zongtang, the famous general in the late Qing Dynasty, the land here was "rich fruits and fruits, cattle and sheep everywhere, and herds of horses. The coal, iron, gold, silver and jade were extremely rich in storage. The so-called desert of thousands of miles is actually a basin of treasures."
The background of the vast grassland is the eternal snow-capped mountains. The green horizon stands alone with white felt tents. The horses nearby and the sheep in the distance are bowing their heads to eat grass. There is no one around.
The sound of horse hooves came from a very far place. The red uniforms under the cavalry armor wearing breastplate and high-topped bowls made him look like a ball of fire. He held a vermilion red flag spear, undulating along the grassland with his horse's back, and two small yellow dogs followed closely one after another.
The scout cavalry's raised flag spear was written in the middle of the complex and exquisite patterns.
When the Wansui Army left the Senei Army, they brought out a large number of hunting dogs. They originally wanted to hunt wildly to subsidize supplies when there was no war outside the Continental, but they did not expect that they had been stationed in Naturalization for a long time. The troops that were transferred to the city were even staying in the city for nearly two years, and the hunting dogs they brought out were all left in two litters.
Fortunately, the male dogs they brought out were all fierce-tempered. Both the collies and mastiffs on the grassland are bigger than those of the yellow dogs. If they were taken out to have more female dogs, they would likely have difficulty giving birth.
However, this also leads to the yellow dogs they are carrying nowadays being much larger, with longer and thicker hair, making them more advantageous in living outside the border.
The war that took place on the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains had ended nearly half a month. The cavalry untied the water bag on the horse while passing the lonely felt tent and drank it. Then they ran south again without stopping. He wanted to return to the Ming army camp at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain to report the situation to General Qi.
There were four hundred scout cavalry sent out to him. Qi Jiguang listed all the tribe leaders of the Heshuo tribe who could be called the name of the top tribe. Whether he was ten thousand households, thousands households, or even hundreds households, there would be cavalry specifically to announce that Hanino Khan had been defeated and summoned them to discuss matters at the re-established Luntai County camp at the world.
As long as the messenger is not hurt, it is okay to come or not.
If thousands of households do not come, thousands of households can come. If thousands of households do not come, hundreds of households can come. If hundreds of households do not come, the ministry can directly bring their families and livestock to migrate there.
In just one sentence, as long as you go to the emperor, the emperor will reward you with gold, silver, silk, and land household registration according to your status.
Not only are the Heshuo Special tribes rewarded, but other Oirat tribes also rewarded as long as they join.
Qi Jiguang gave them a month. If they did not intend to surrender, they would be prepared to lose their lives. If they were neither willing to surrender nor war, they would take their troops north and not leave them on this land.
There were not many nobles in the first group to go to the Ming army camp at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, but they came very quickly. After discussion, those who were willing to follow the Ming army to fight north could bring a few troops to participate in the battle north. If they were unwilling to participate in the battle north, they would stay here and wait for distribution.
All tribes will be broken up and re-divided into the newly established garrisons. Those who are willing will receive rewards, and those who are unwilling can still go back. As if they have not come, they will lead their tribes north.
"General Qi, what will happen if we go north?"
Not everyone is willing to stay. In fact, even the few people who come here are only a few of them willing to stay and divide the tribes, which is unacceptable for all nobles.
Most of them were just the leaders who sent people to test the intentions of the Ming army. Although Hanino Khan's troops were defeated without even fighting, such a power made them unwilling to rise up and resist, if the Ming army wanted to kill them all, they could only raise their forces.
But at least so far, it seems that Ming Jun does not seem so difficult to communicate with.
"You go two thousand miles north of the river, and there is a big river. You can rest and grazle at will. As long as you don't go south, no one will care about you. Maybe in the future..."
Qi Jiguang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Maybe there will be merchants from the Ming Dynasty who will come to you to buy goods and sell goods to you in the future."
It sounds pretty good.
But walking two thousand miles north, no one knew what the north was two thousand miles away. They only knew that they had to cross the endless desert in the middle, and no one could go out from there alively.
Qi Jiguang knew that his cavalry was exploring the northward path at the corner of the Altai Mountains in the northeast. They originally thought that the Oirat was there, but they walked to the southern end of the Yenisei River Basin and encountered the independent Qierjis tribes after the decline of the Oirat.
Their name originally means forty hundred households. In the past, when the Oirat was strong, they mostly depended on the Oirat. Now they have separated from their own independence and have four large tribes, each of which has their own land as kings, and their strength is weak.
After arriving there, the scouts found that this was not Oirat, and they had already grown up. How could it be Oirat? Therefore, they had a very friendly exchange.
The merchants who accompanied him sold some goods and bought animal skins and bones. The scouts surveyed and mapped the map and thought that the locals were picking their feet when they were farming skilled vegetables, so they pointed it out again.
As the autumn is approaching, the weather is cold and the land is frozen, so we branch to survey and map the return journey along the way. Most people failed to arrive at Guihua City before last winter. They survived the whole winter outside before returning. Many people are still chasing the army.
"What if we don't leave?"
Qi Jiguang laughed at the question. Even if no one asked, he would let everyone know the answers to these two questions. He sighed softly and stood up and said, "War is the cruelest thing in the world, life and death."
"If you can surrender, you will surrender, and you will not suffer from life and death. You will give up your authority and gain wealth."
"If you can't surrender, you can leave. If you can't leave your hometown, you can still save your life."
"If you don't surrender or leave, you want to kill me, and you want to kill me, it's not too much for me to kill you, right?"
Qi Jiguang knew that at this time, he still persuaded people to live in, and said, "It's nothing wrong with joining the court. Even if you lose your life, what's the use of being a tribal leader? Are there still fewer leaders who died on the grassland in two hundred years?"
"Go back and tell every leader you can see, come and submit. Going to the north is not a good thing, and staying is even more difficult. Maybe some people think it is difficult for me to find you nomadly on the grassland, and it is indeed difficult for me to find you."
