With the influx of a large number of daily necessities, the lives of the herdsmen have also undergone earth-shaking changes, whether it is grain, cloth, tea, iron pots and other daily necessities or medicines, these previously scarce materials have been greatly alleviated.

The herdsmen's lives have improved, and the prestige of Zaisang Buhe has also risen, especially in recent years, after seeing that the Horqin tribe is prosperous, some small tribes are crying and shouting to join the Horqin tribe, which makes Zaisang Buhe's prestige reach its peak.

Of course, the side effects are not without it, and after the Horqin tribe became rich, it also attracted snooping eyes.

For example, in the past two years, the relationship between the Horqin tribe and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has become very bad, especially in recent years, Huang Taiji has continuously sent people to the Horqin tribe to ask for food, war horses and other materials, which has caused many people to be dissatisfied.

To tell the truth, Zaisang Buhe actually has a sense of guilt towards Huang Taiji, after all, it was his sister and daughter who were sorry for others first, and the aunt and nephew actually followed Yang Feng's kid to Daming.

Now Zhezhe has even given birth to his daughter, so that Huang Taiji's head and Hulunbuir Prairie have to fight, this kind of thing can't be endured as long as it's a man, anyway, Zaisang Buhe thinks that if this kind of thing is put on his head, he can't bear it, but Huang Taiji not only endured it, but he didn't even turn his face with himself, how can this mind be described as broad.

It is precisely because of this that when Huang Taiji ordered Wu Keshan to lead 3,000 Mongolian cavalry and a part of the herdsmen to garrison Heitumu, Zaisang Buhe did not object, after all, now Wu Keshan is also the owner of the blue flag in the Manchu and Mongolian Eight Banners, and the nominal Huang Taiji is their master, and it is not okay not to obey the order.

It turns out that Jaisang Buhe and Wu Keshan father and son are still too naïve.

When Wu Keshan and the people with the blue flag came to the black tree, only to find that their suffering came, because they were far away from the Horqin tribe, all the supplies of the blue flag had to rely on the support of the Manchu Qing, but the Manchu Qing gave them supplies were never sufficient, Wu Keshan they lived a hungry life for most of the year, and even some weak old people and children died of hunger after winter, which also made these Mongolians more and more resentful of the Manchus.

After realizing that they really starved to death like this, the generals of the blue flag quit, for them, the herdsmen are their foundation, if there are no herdsmen, they will become rootless duckweed, and they will be in danger of extinction at any time.

Immediately, some generals proposed to Wu Keshan to return to the Horqin tribe, as long as they could return to the Horqin tribe, they would survive.

But they soon realized that Hei Tumu was located in the northeast of Liaodong, thousands of miles away from the Horqin tribe, and that such a long migration at this time of year would be tantamount to suicide, so the road would never work.

After thinking of this, many people's hearts were cold, Wu Keshan, who was the owner of the blue flag, was even more worried about this matter, and the official letter sent to Shengjing requesting the allocation of grain and grass was almost every three days, but except for the first time Shengjing sent someone to bring a little firewood for heating and dried animal manure, they didn't have a grain of food they needed most, which also made Wu Keshan's heart become cold and cold.

After a bowl of mare's milk wine was put down, a spicy and fragrant milk flavor and a faint sweetness echoed in his throat, but Wu Keshan's face became more and more difficult to see.

Although there was a shortage of food, so that the herdsmen and Mongol soldiers outside were cold and starved, the life of the blue-flaged banner owner and the general in the house was still guaranteed, but when he thought of the starvation and cold appearance of the herdsmen in the tribe, he felt a fire of ignorance surging in his heart.

At this time, a young man whose hair had been shaved off, leaving only a handful of hair on his forehead, said angrily to Wu Keshan: "Big brother, I can see that Huang Taiji is not happy at all when he transfers us here, nominally he wants us to guard the land of Longxing, but in fact, he wants us to starve us to death here!" ”

This young man is Wu Keshan's younger brother Borzigit Chahan, and the seventeen-year-old boy couldn't hide his thoughts in his heart, and after two bowls of mare's milk wine, he even said what he didn't dare to say before.

"Yes, Taiji, Young Master Chahan is right, Huang Taiji's purpose is to starve us to death and freeze to death here, and then they can take the opportunity to annex our Horqin tribe, Taiji, you have to be careful!"

After Borzigit Chahan's words were finished, they aroused the anger of the generals, and the room was filled with their unwilling voices.

He grabbed the sheepskin bag, poured a bowl of mare's milk wine for his finish, drank it and said with hatred: "That's true, we can't go on like this, if we don't think of a way, our people won't be able to survive this winter, for now, we have to leave here?" ”

"Leaving here, where are we going?" The generals were suddenly shocked and looked at Wu Keshan one after another.

Wu Keshan swept around everyone's faces with bloodshot eyes, and said slowly: "Let's leave here and go to Gaizhou!" ”

"Gaizhou?"

Everyone was shocked.

"Taiji, Gaizhou is now the territory of the Ming army, if we go there, won't we fall into the net?"

"What do you know?" Wu Keshan looked at everyone and asked, "Do you know which Ming army is stationed in Gaizhou now?" ”

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Wu Keshan said again: "Let me tell you, the Jiangning army under the command of my brother-in-law Yang Feng is now stationed in Gaizhou, and all the grain, grass, salt, tea bricks and other things that have been transported to our Horqin tribe over the years have been transported to Gaizhou by sea ship sent by my brother-in-law and then sent to the Horqin tribe. As long as we get to Gaizhou, we will be saved. ”

After the generals looked at each other, their faces showed unconcealed joy, and Borzigit Chahan's eyes were even brighter, and he grabbed Wu Keshan's sleeve and asked, "Big brother, is this true?" How did I not know? ”

Wu Keshan touched Borzigit Chahan's head with some amusement: "This matter is related to the safety of our Horqin tribe, not to mention you, only me and Abu know about the entire tribe." If it weren't for the do-or-die situation this time, I wouldn't have told you. ”

Borzigit Chahan was overjoyed and almost jumped up: "Great, then can we go back to the Horqin tribe through Gaizhou?" ”

"No way!" Wu Keshan shook his head: "After arriving in Gaizhou, those herdsmen can go back, but we can't. You don't want to think about it, once Huang Taiji knows that we have fled from Hei Tumu and returned to the Horqin tribe without permission, he will send troops to attack Horqin no matter how generous he is. ”

"Ah...... So where can we go? Borzigit Chahan was dumbfounded.
