Xu Wuniu was sitting around a campfire with his comrades, enjoying mutton wine.

The mutton is freshly roasted Gobi lamb ribs, crispy and tender, and the taste is amazing. The Mingjiu wine was just delivered, shipped from Beijing along with Xu Wu Niu.

You don’t even need to refrigerate the sake to drink it in the winter, just one word, it’s refreshing!

Xu Wu Niu Meng drank a large sip of wine, and tore off a large piece of meat from the lamb ribs. While chewing, he said: "If I can have another mother-in-law, this life will be beautiful."

"Haha, Brother Niu wants to marry my wife."

"Nonsense, don't you guys want to marry your wife?"

"That's right. It's said that the 150,000 infantrymen who participated in the Northern Expedition have all been allocated bounty fields, married to wives, and are living a small life in the capital. We haven't seen any movement yet."

"It's fast. Our cavalry should be fast too."

"Brother Niu, did you hear something?"

Speaking of this, Xu Wu Newton became energetic and said with a low smile: "Since we have talked about this today, let me give you a message. In the past few days, King Ding should give us a ride.

The brothers in the 1st Division and the 2nd Cavalry Division are divided among cattle, sheep, horses and other livestock, and more importantly, each person can also be divided into a wife."

"Really?" Several other cavalrymen suddenly became excited.

"This is what Prince Ding said himself. How can it be false?" Xu Wuniu asked anxiously.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone suddenly shouted outside the tent.

"Hurry and go to Jiangjun Paozi. King Ding has escorted all the women from Chahar Mongolia to General Paozi. It is said that he wants them to wash away the dirt on their faces and divide the wives among everyone!"

"Oh my god, do we really want to break up? We have to go there quickly."

"Yes, yes, yes, go quickly, there won't be anything good to see if you go late."

The few cavalrymen who had just been chatting with Xu Wuniu jumped up and ran out.

"Hey, hey, wait for me!" Xu Wuniu was the last one to rush out of the tent.

But as soon as he ran out of the tent, Xu Wuniu felt relieved, because King Ding had personally promised him that he would be the first to choose his wife, so he didn't have to worry.

…

In an open-air horse pen, hundreds of prisoners of war were held together.

Qi Buhua was one of them, but unlike other prisoners of war, Qi Buhua had no look of resentment, fear, or anxiety in his eyes, but only numbness.

The long-term slave life has already wiped out the hope of begging for money.

Qi Buhua now just wants to escape from this sea of ​​suffering as soon as possible, the world is not worth it.

Speaking of which, Qi Buhua was once a member of the Naiman tribe in Chahar Mongolia. He also had his own Aha, who was also very beautiful. However, it was precisely because of his wife's beauty that he brought disaster to the Naiman tribe.

Baelor Yanchus shamelessly took possession of his Aha and found an excuse to demote him into a slave.

Therefore, Qi Buhua has no mercy for what happened to the Mongolian tribes in Chahar.

When Yan Chusi was executed by the Ming army, Qi Buhua was even a little grateful.

It's a pity that his Aha has been tortured to death by Yan Chusi and will never see this day again.

A group of Ming soldiers appeared outside the horse pen, holding bayonets and shouting: "Hey, everyone, come out!"

The prisoners of war in the horse pen didn't respond because they couldn't understand Chinese. Qi Buhua could actually understand Chinese, but he didn't get up either. He didn't care anymore.

Although the Ming army destroyed Chahar Mongolia.

But to him, it was nothing more than a new master.

Life in the future will not get better just because you change your master.

"Are you deaf? General Zhao asked you to come out!" This time it was a Mongolian who spoke.

The prisoners of war in the horse pen helped each other to their feet, and then stumbled outside. Days of hunger and the cold weather had already exhausted the physical strength of these prisoners of war.

Qi Buhua still sat there without moving, his eyes indifferent.

The Mongolian who had just spoken came to Qi Buhua.

"Why are you still sitting if you don't want money? Get up quickly."

Qi Buhua then raised his eyes and saw that the person standing in front of him was an acquaintance, Hai Rigu.

"Qi Buhua, hurry up, good things will happen." Hai Rigu patted Qi Buhua on the shoulder, and then said to the Ming army officer beside him, "This man's name is Qi Buhua, he is a warrior of the Naiman tribe, and later

Because he offended Beile Yanchusi of Naiman tribe, he was demoted as a slave to this day, and his Aha and two sons were also killed by Yanchusi."

"It turns out he is also a miserable man." The officer sighed softly.

Then he said to Qi Buhua: "Qi Buhua, right? We, the Heavenly Soldiers, are not here to conquer Chahar, but to rescue slaves and poor herdsmen who are suffering like you. Get up and follow me."

, as long as your situation is true, you can not only get the pasture, cattle, sheep and horses, but you can also marry an Aha and go home."

"What do you mean?" Qi Buhua was stunned when he heard this. How could such a good thing happen?

"What do you mean? The Immortal God has appeared. Let's go quickly." Hai Rigu said angrily, "It's too late. All the young and beautiful Aha Ke have been selected."

After saying that, Hai Rigu pulled Qi Buhua up.

If you don’t beg for money, you can only passively move forward.

…

As for General Paozi, Xu Wuniu has already begun to pick his woman.

With nearly 40,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 herdsmen, they certainly cannot crowd together to pick people.

Zhu Cijiong and Hu Guozhu made a rule. First, they divided the selected women of childbearing age into seven square formations. Six female square formations corresponded to one cavalry brigade, and the rest went to Mongolian herdsmen.

Within the cavalry brigade, the selection order is based on military merit.

The only exception is Xu Wuniu, because he is determined to be the first meritorious deed, so there is no restriction.

I saw more than 50,000 Chahar women aged between 13 and 30 years old. They had washed their faces and stood in seven squares on the snowy field, anxiously waiting for the men to come and choose.

.

It can be seen that these Mongolian women do not have much resistance.

Noble women on the grassland can be very powerful, but ordinary women are extremely humble.

Most of the more than 50,000 Mongolian women in front of me are ordinary women, either female slaves, widows of dead men, or daughters of poor herders.

Soon, Xu Wuniu fell in love with a woman.

I saw that this woman did not have the plateau red color of other women, and her complexion was fair.

However, there was a little girl of three or four years old nestling next to the woman's knees, who was obviously the woman's daughter. The little girl was looking at Xu Wuniu with anxious eyes.

】

"You are really discerning, boy. This is the concubine and her daughter of Beleturzi of Alachoteta's tribe."

Zhu Cijiong asked about Boritie China, and said to Xu Wuniu with a smile: "However, don't blame me for not reminding you. You may not be able to control this woman, and you are not a good match for her."

"I don't care." Xu Wuniu was determined.

"Prince Ding, you promised me, I want this."

"Okay, once you've made your choice, you're not allowed to regret it, let alone change it again." Zhu Cijiong said.

"No regrets." Xu Wuniu said with a grin, "Only fools would trade with others."

After saying that, Xu Wuniu strode forward, took the woman's hand, and said, "Follow me."

The woman looked at Xu Wuniu with increasingly frightened eyes, and at the same time tried desperately to break free.

"Hey, you are quite strong, come here." Xu Wuniu lifted the woman on his shoulders, and slapped the woman on the butt, making a snapping sound.

The soldiers who were waiting in line to pick a woman immediately laughed out loud.

And their eyes became more intense than ever before.

Because they found that there were many young and beautiful women.

…

Tokugawa Yoshinao and Horita Masamori spent half a month on the road, and finally arrived in Osaka on the day the dragon raised its head in early February, preparing to sign the Osaka Treaty with the Ming Dynasty.

However, there are still details to be negotiated before the treaty is finally signed.

After some bargaining, the installment was determined to be thirty years.

Then the principal plus interest will be paid every year 500,000 taels of gold, 5 million taels of silver, and 20 million jins of copper, and it is agreed that the installments will be paid off before the end of February every year.

In other words, the 23-year installment of Chongzhen will be paid off soon.

Tokugawa Yoshinao and Horita Masamori rushed back to Edo without stopping to restore their lives to Tokugawa Iemitsu.

Chongzhen was not in a hurry at all, because Ming Dynasty's propaganda had already shown its power, and more and more poor people from Osaka and farmers from surrounding villages came to apply.

So far, more than 60,000 Japanese slaves have been recruited.

Moreover, many of the more than 60,000 Japanese slaves brought their families with them.

Therefore, the number of Japanese who gathered in Osaka actually exceeded 100,000.
