Chapter 172: Hunting

"The lancers didn't come, and that was the cavalry that Hutchison could fight the most. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Haha, let's just wait for them to come back with a dirty face."

"When the time comes, that Zhang Han will come to see the saints and see what kind of face he is."

"If you have the opportunity to ......"

Jebtsundamba had been chanting quietly when he suddenly stopped.

He and the Zhangjia Living Buddha Danjin Living Buddha glanced at each other, and the meanings in their eyes were quite complicated.

If he knew that Zhang Han was so reckless, was there no need to reach that series of agreements with him early? Can we wait and see how the follow-up development goes?

Could it be that the Khalkha were too weak and surrendered too easily to the powers, which led Zhang Han to underestimate the strength of the Mongols too much?

You must know that although Chotu Khan lost the battle with Zasaktu Khan, it was not that this Khalkhataiji did not have strength, but that he faced the concerted efforts of many large tribes such as the Huite and Chechen Khans, and the Tushetu Khan.

This Ketu Khan is too arrogant and domineering, so the Khalkha tribes joined forces to suppress it, which may give Hutchison a false impression, but Tu Khan is weaker than the Mobei Sanbu...... This is not the case.

"Wait and see......" Jebtsundamba closed his eyes and continued to chant.

……

The movements of the lamas also affected the upper echelons of Khalkha to a greater or lesser extent. On April 27, the day after the departure of Zhang Yansheng's squadron, the Chechen Khan invited a large number of high-ranking nobles to his felt bag to a banquet under the pretext of celebrating the birthday of a side concubine.

The three khans are actually not in harmony, and they both have disagreements with each other. In fact, the so-called Great Khan are self-proclaimed, they were originally the Taiji in the Khalkha 10,000 households, Dayan Khan sealed 60,000 households, the Khalkha 12 is only one of the 60,000 households, the Khan of the Chahar people is the real Mongolian Khan, and later Altan Khan bullied his nephew Tumen Khan, drove the Chahar people away from the west, called himself Khan, and was named the king of Shunyi, barely sat on the position of the Great Khan, and the rest of the Khan was given the honorific title of the powerful Taijijia by the lamas after the rise of the Yellow Religion, and the Khan of the three Khans of Mobei was obtained in this way, In fact, they are just powerful Da Taiji, just like the Chotu Khan who just added the title of Chotu Khan, before that, that is, a Taiji of the Khalkha Department, because the strength is enough, he is called Khan, which leads to dozens of Khans on the grassland.

Chechen Khan Shuolei stepped on the leg of the loop, his short and thick body rushed forward, he hugged the same strong and looped leg Zasaktu Khan Norbu, next to Tushetu Khan Gunbu stood aside with a smile.

All the Taiji were present, and Shuolei's son Babu was in charge of greeting Dolji of Gunbu, and they were all young men of about twenty, who seemed to be taller than their fathers, and had a greener look on their faces, but the obvious Mongol broadface also had the ferocity and unruliness peculiar to young people.

They knew the meeting well, and they were not as cautious in their words as their fathers.

"Babudaiji," Dorji watched as the three Great Khans sat down together in front of the curtain, all of them covered with beautiful fur cushions, Dorji looked at Babu and said in a deep voice, "I heard that the last cavalry of the Han army has also set off and is chasing their convoy. ”

"Well......" Babu nodded, his eyes flashing, "I went to see the convoy when it left, they called the brigade, a thousand people, more than a hundred carts, it is indeed spectacular." ”

Dorji gritted his teeth and said: "They built all the way to the road from our Kulun, and they used this kind of cart to pull supplies and men, and they repaired all the way. ”

Babu laughed: "The Han people will get these useless things, farm the land, drive the big car, they really think they are strong?" ”

Dorji said: "A barbarian is a barbarian, I don't know why my father Khan killed Buhetaiji in the first place, he is young and courageous, he dares to fight with the barbarian, there are too few such good men, we actually killed the warriors among our own people, it is simply stupid." ”

Babu squeezed his eyes and said, "Be careful, don't say this in front of the old people." ”

"There's been a lot of talk lately." Dorji said: "My father Khan often sighs, and the old men of the tribe do not care about the following discussions. ”

"Yes." When Babu heard that the situation had become like this, he boldly said, "The barbarians are already strong in building cities and roads, so what is it. Now they are engaged in this trading city in our territory, we Mongolians can't intervene, I heard that Zhang Han was also unceremonious when he talked with the saints, and made a lot of demands, originally thought that the army of the barbarians was many and strong, but now it seems that the hundreds of red-robed soldiers are strong. At the beginning, we were caught off guard, if the various departments raised a large army, at least more than 100,000 troops could be dispatched, how could a few hundred people be stronger? ”

"Well, it's time for a change."

"It's up to the Great Khan and the old people to think."

The two young nobles were sitting cross-legged on the grass, they were not very fond of the various constraints brought by their noble status, the light yellow curtain divided the grass, the sky was blue, the grass was like washing, a large flock of sheep moved like white clouds in the distance, a group of herdsmen were galloping with a horse pole, in the big tent behind them, the Great Khan and a group of old nobles were enjoying the hand-grabbed mutton, the white soup in the cauldron was tumbling, the mutton gave out a burst of aroma, and a maid put some mushrooms and other vegetables into the pot, Everyone was feasting, but if they had a heart, they could see that there was indescribable tension in the relaxed faces of the Great Khans, and groups of nobles and thousands of households were sitting in small groups, many of whom had strange faces and whispered.

Dorji was upset, he didn't know how things would turn out, but as the future owner of this grassland, the buying and selling city was like a thorn in his eyes, and he felt uncomfortable for a day.

The rest of the twenty or so Taiji also have the same feeling, if the merchant army has been maintaining relative military pressure in Mobei, and as rumored to be able to bring tens of thousands of elite troops, these small Taiji may be much lighter, but the merchant army has always been only more than 3,000 people stationed near Kulun, and now they are also transferring troops from all over the country to recruit the Khan, adding up to less than 10,000 people, which gives many small Taiji an illusion that the strength of the merchant army is not strong, and it must be that the situation in Monan is unstable, which causes Zhang Han to have no way to mobilize a large army to come, so their minds changed.

The changes in people's hearts, the three Great Khans are not unaware, even the wise saints are not impressed by the light enemy of the Shangtuan Army this time, this kind of mood is easy to diffuse and spread, Chechen Khan did not invite a Han Chinese to this gathering, all the people present are their own people in the Khalkha tribes, there are not without disputes in Trans-Khalkha, and there have even been wars, but when the foreign strong enemy pierces the Buddha city of Kulun like nails, the change of people's hearts may not be able to control even the saints in the big temple......

"The Great Khans have orders!"

A thousand-household official stood in front of the big tent and said loudly: "After ten days, each ministry will select strong men, hold a joint hunting meeting of all departments, prepare bows and horses, and select good men......

The voice of the thousand household officials was drowned in the noisy discussion, many people felt surprised, now is not the time for large-scale tribal hunting, generally in midsummer or autumn, the main function in addition to hunting is military training, in a few decades ago when the Khalkha Department often invaded the south with the various departments, it was also held before the war to hold a large-scale hunting of the joint tribes, which in the grassland is afraid that there has been a thousand years of inheritance, is a quite effective training method, in the hunting of the mobilization of the various departments, the convergence of personnel, the drill of logistics supply, the drill of the method of vertical and vertical attack, It is quite helpful to send troops to fight.

Nomads, usually live on horseback, bows and arrows are the best means of attack, the cavalry honed in the form of hunting, even if it is not a soldier, the power is also above the army composed of farmers who mainly farm, which is also the reason why Lin Dan Khan was the Great Khan of the last days, and the remnants who fled westward can also break through the Datong defense line and kill and injure tens of thousands of Ming soldiers and civilians.

"Great!" Dorzi's eyes were full of excitement, and he lowered his voice and said to Babu, "It seems that the old men have also figured it out, and they want to test how deep the water is in Hutchison." ”

"Silence." The BΓ‘b advised: "Be careful of reaching the ears of others." ”

"Hmph, what are you afraid of?" Dorji looked around and said, "It's all our own people, besides, if Hutchison is defeated on the side of the Chotu Khan after the hunt, do you think we will do anything to drive these barbarians away?" ”

"Hutchison may not be defeated." Babu felt that Dorji was a little too fanatical, like the slain Buch, and he moved to the side, dissatisfied to dissatisfied, he was not as committed as Dorzi.

"Hmph," said Dorji, pointing to a few clumps of sheep not far away, "If Hutchison can destroy the Chotu Khan tribe, I'll eat it." ”

"Oh, huh?" Babu's eyes widened, he didn't expect Dorji to be so violent.

……

A drop of rain suddenly dripped on his head, feeling a little cool, Zhang Ziming hurriedly put Teng's hat on his head, and after a while, the rain fell in a hurry.

Even in early summer, the rain is still a little cool when it falls on his body, but Zhang Ziming doesn't mind, after wearing a big hat, he can block most of the rain, he doesn't even bother to wear an oil coat, and hurriedly beckons his companions and partners to cover the goods brought over.

The merchant groups of Monan mainly gathered in Bansheng City, Tumochuan has recovered most of its vitality after more than half a year of rest and rest, originally gathered a large number of Han people, resulting in many poor people, and even a considerable number of Han people have become Mongol herdsmen, now this situation has of course completely disappeared, Tumut people have completely surrendered, and the Mobei tribes are different from the "alliance", what is the so-called alliance over there Everyone knows very well in their hearts, Tumut people have not only lost their master's identity, and even many people have become slaves.

After two years of war, the Tumut people suffered heavy losses, and many tribes were directly discounted to the backbone, and now the herdsmen, including the heads, only want to live a peaceful life, and don't think about anything else at all.
