At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Yuanzhang expelled the Mongols from the Central Plains, but the remnants of the Yuan forces were never completely wiped out, and they were active in the area north of the Great Wall and south of Lake Baikal.

Under the blow of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, the Northern Yuan regime collapsed, and the Hu people also split into multiple tribes and fought against each other. One hundred and fifty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, during this period, the Hu forces outside the Saiwai were divided and combined, sometimes strong, sometimes weak, mainly divided into two camps: the Tiles and the Tatars.

During the Ming Yingzong period, the tile spur became stronger and stronger, unified most of Mongolia, and began to move south to the Ming Dynasty, orthodox 14 years, under the leadership of Taishi Yexian, the tile spur brazenly sent troops across the Great Wall to the south, and hit the main force of the Ming army in the first battle of Tumubao, and captured the Ming Yingzong Zhu Qi Town.

At that time, the power of the Waspur reached its peak, and its territory stretched from Kazakhstan in the west, the Yalu River in Liaodong in the east, Lake Baikal in the north, and the Great Wall in the south, and occupied the Hetao Pingyuan of the Ming Dynasty. However, the good times did not last long, and after his death, the tile spurs began to fall apart, and the Hu people were once again caught in the mutual conquest, and the Ming Dynasty also got a respite.

At that time, Zhu Jianshen, the Ming Xianzong, seized the opportunity and launched the "Battle of Red Salt Pond" to recapture the Hetao Plain in one fell swoop, and for the next 20 years, the Hetao Plain was under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

However, by the time of the Hongzhi period, the Hu people ended the melee, and the Tatars began to gradually become stronger, and Dayan Khan unified most of Mongolia and redivided 60,000 households, and the 30,000 households on the right flank were the Ordos Division, the Tumut Division, and the Yongshebu Division.

As a result, the Hetao Plain was soon occupied by the powerful Tatars, and now it is the Ordos Department of the Tatars who occupy the Hetao Plain.

Now standing in front of Xue Bingxin is the leader of the Tatar Tumert tribe, the second son of Balsborot, Altan Khan, who later became famous, led the army to besiege Beijing City, and almost wiped out Emperor Jiajing and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.

Of course, I am only seventeen years old now, and he is only the second son of the head of the Tumut tribe, so it stands to reason that he has no hope of continuing his father's throne, but later his eldest brother hung up, and this guy was lucky to inherit the position of Jinong, and since then he has reached the peak of his life, and his experience is somewhat similar to that of the little emperor Zhu Houxi.

Although he is only seventeen years old now, this guy is very brave and good at fighting, and he is very famous in the Tumut Department, and is praised as the eagle of the grassland, and Xue Bingxin has also heard of his name.

Xue Bingxin obviously didn't expect that such a well-established Tatar nobleman would swagger into the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and he also ran to his own territory, frowning and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, why is this person in the cottage?" ”

I replied first: "I led my subordinates to hunt south, accidentally got lost, and crossed the Great Wall by mistake, but met the Ming army, they killed my subordinates indiscriminately, and I was injured a little because of this, fortunately, Brother Zhao came to the rescue." ”

Lei Jun snorted coldly and said: "Hunting, I'm afraid I didn't go to our Han people's territory to loot!" ”

Although Lei Jun and others are horse thieves, they are also engaged in roadblocks and robberies, but after all, as Han people, they naturally have no good impression of robbing and enslaving Han people.

I glanced at Lei Jun coldly, and said lightly: "What do you call this hero?" ”

Lei Jun patted his chest and said loudly: "Lao Tzu's surname is Lei Mingjun, have you seen it?" The clothes that Lao Tzu is wearing now were ripped from the corpses of the Tartars, and the horses outside were also stolen from the Tartars, so those Tartars can't be your subordinates, right? ”

As soon as these words came out, the brothers behind Lei Jun all laughed, proudly showing off their leather coats and hats.

I replied with a cold gaze, and suddenly laughed and said: "Sure enough, they are all brave heroes, my father respects heroes the most in his life, how about you follow me back to Fengzhou Sichuan (Hohhot)?" Glory and wealth, cattle and sheep land, and beautiful women and slaves are all at your fingertips. ”

Lei Jun was stunned for a moment, and then said disdainfully: "Let your mother's bullshit, Lao Tzu is a Han Chinese, who will go back to be a dog with you, a Tartar?" Dream on! ”

My answer was pale, and his eyes looked at Zhao Quan, who shouted with a cold face: "Lei Jun, shut your stinky mouth and get out of the way!" ”

Lei Jun couldn't help but show anger on his face, but he knew that Zhao Quan's hand was powerful, and he estimated that he couldn't even catch a move, so he took a few steps back.

Zhao Quan's expression eased slightly, and he said to Xue Bingxin: "Senior Sister Xue, now that our foundation in Daming is completely destroyed, the master has also been hunted down by officers and soldiers, and the government is also looking for us everywhere, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time." It's better to follow me out of the plug to the Fengzhou River, where it is not only safe, but also the soil is fertile, it is a good place to recuperate. ”

Zhao Quan was a man of great ambition, and although the failure of the uprising in Shandong dealt a heavy blow to his confidence, he still did not give up, and was ready to use the power of the Tatars to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. I have to say that this is really a traitor like Wu Sangui, but he is not as famous as Wu Sangui later.

Xue Bingxin's expression was calm, she really wanted to overthrow the Ming Dynasty to avenge the clansmen, but after the failure of the Shandong uprising, she had completely dispelled this unrealistic idea, and now she just wants to protect her relatives around her, live a peaceful and quiet life, and don't want to get involved in this meaningless, and will bring endless suffering to the people of the world.

"Senior Brother Zhao, I don't want to go to Fengzhouchuan, but whoever wants to go in the cottage, I won't stop it." Xue Bingxin shook her head and said lightly.

Lei Jun heard the words and said loudly: "Yes, we are Han people, why do we want to be a dog for Tartar?" Commander Zhao, I, Lei Jun, can follow you to kill officials and rebel, but Lao Tzu doesn't treat Tartars as dogs! ”

"Brother Lei said it well, even if Lao Tzu goes back to Shandong to resume his old business, he will not be a dog for Tartars, and in turn slaughter his own compatriots." The other horse thieves shouted loudly.

Zhao Quanquan's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped, the fist in his sleeve clenched and relaxed, relaxed and clenched, and said in a deep voice: "Senior Sister Xue, don't you want to take revenge, getting out of the plug is just an expedient measure, we are independent, and there is no relationship between who gives whom." ”

I replied with both hands and said, "What Brother Zhao said is extremely true. We Tatars are not good at farming, but you Han people are good at farming, we rent fertile land to you, and while you are self-sufficient, you will provide us with surplus food, and everyone will just take what they need. ”

Xue Bingxin said lightly: "When you are full and the granary is full, then you can wave your troops south to slaughter our Han people?" ”

I replied and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Miss Xue, I don't understand, you also have the blood of our Hu people, why do you say that we are Han people?" Don't you think it's ridiculous? ”

Xue Bingxin said solemnly: "Because this girl has received Han education since she was a child, she knows Chinese characters and wears Hanfu, learns the way of Confucius and Mencius, and practices Han etiquette. Even though I have half Hu blood in me, I am a Han in the truest sense of the word. ”

"Good!" Lei Jun and the others applauded in unison.

Zhao Quan frowned and said, "Senior Sister Xue, let's go to the back and talk." ”

Xue Bingxin shook her head very dryly and said, "No need, Senior Brother Zhao, I won't go out with you." ”

Zhao Quan's anger finally broke out, and he said angrily: "Senior Sister Xue, when is it, you are still unreasonable, now that the general trend is gone, continuing to stay here will only bury everyone in the end." What's more, there is no peripheral supply, the cottage lacks food and clothing, not to mention overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, whether it can survive the cold season is still two words, listen to me, go to Fengzhou River. ”

Xue Bingxin still shook her head resolutely and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, I don't want to go, I won't stop anyone, whoever wants to go, just go, I won't go anyway." ”

Zhao Quan was furious and shouted: "Xue Bingxin, I am now the head of the sect, everyone has to listen to me!" ”

Lei Jun hugged his fists and said, "Sect Leader Zhao, none of us are members of your sect, we only listen to Miss Xue." ”

"Yes, we only listen to Miss Xue!" A group of horse thieves said in unison.

Zhao Quan laughed angrily and said: "Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, so I won't force you, after speaking, he flicked his sleeves and helped me to leave the hall." ”

Early the next morning, Zhao Quan left with Li Zixin, Sun Cai, Qiu Fu, and dozens of young people from the cottage, and resolutely embarked on his traitor road, but he still had a little conscience and left most of the food, but there was not much food left, and there were about fifty or sixty people in a village, and I was afraid that it would not last for a month.

Xue Bingxin stood in the cold wind, looking at Zhao Quan and the others who were resolutely leaving, biting her lips tightly, only to feel a heavy ...... on her shoulders
