Chapter 841: Shuo Feng
Wearing a gorgeous Mongolian robe, Ombuhong stood on the steps and bowed to Zhang Han: "I wish my uncle a smooth trip and a smooth alliance with the Mobei Khans." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Thank you, Great Khan." Zhang Han solemnly thanked him.
The imperial envoy has already returned, and after Xu Shiqi returns, it is estimated that the imperial court's envoy to canonize the king of Shunyi will rush over, and the situation on Tumut's side will be completely stabilized at that time.
The trade routes were also reopened, and those freed Taiji and herdsmen could exchange them for grain and various goods from He Yusheng, and they could sell the furs and various specialties that had been accumulated in the past two years, and their lives would gradually improve.
The envoy has already set off in advance to inform the various ministries to come to the alliance, there is the example of the Tu Xie Tu Department in front, and the other two ministries did not want to work against Zhang Han in the first place, and it is estimated that they will be very cooperative.
The entourage is standing in front of the Khan's palace, most of them are military generals, with armor all over their bodies, standing by their swords, there are also some civil attachés, and there are also many people from the Attendant Department and the Military Orders Department, and many things need the planning and cooperation of the military personnel.
Tian Jitang was also called, next year's military spending could have been greatly reduced, but if you want to open up a route to Mobei, I am afraid that the amount of money spent is only a lot more, Tian Jitang's face is not as ugly as imagined, but frowns, fortunately, everyone has long been used to it.
And Yusheng is bound to strike at the Karaqin Department, annex a considerable amount of Karaqin's territory, at least Yunzhou and the old Yuan capital and other places must be held in the hand, there is Shangyi Fort and Xinghe Fort in the east, is the boundary of Shangyi County and Xinghe County in the later generations, there is now also the junction of Yusheng and Karaqin, and so on to take the old Zhongdu and Angu Linao and other places, that is, the Erenhot area of the later generations, the route to the Saiyin Shanda in Mobei will be opened, from the route, the road of this line is the closest, and it is the easiest to go. The mountainous area is a minority, most of the landform is a mixed route of the grassland and the Gobi, the vast desert, touching no one else, there are still two or three million people in Mongolia in later generations, and there are more than three or four hundred thousand people in Mobei at this time, which is the total number of men, women and children, and the territory is only larger than Mongolia in later generations, so you can imagine how scarce the population density is.
Zhang Han looked at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Set off immediately, the route has already been planned, we are mainly in a hurry before we arrive at Angurinao, and I am afraid that the Karaqin side will not rush over to fight with us......
Duo'er said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that he won't come, he won't come to fight this year, and we will fight them next year." ”
Zhang Han nodded...... Continued: "This time to talk about time and efficiency, each person to bring two to three horses, bring more concentrate eggs to feed the horses, change horses to ride, the daily travel distance is kept at about one hundred and twenty to one hundred and sixty miles, the speed of rapid marching, each person with fifteen days of marching rations, if there are many horses, it should be able to load, when you arrive at Shangyi Fort, you can replenish the rations again, you can also hunt and replenish when you are halfway through the trip, you must pay attention to maintaining the amount of water in the water bag, after Angu Linao, there are many places where you can't see the water source for a hundred miles, after Saiyin Shanda, over the Gobi area, Once you enter the steppe area, the Mongols will catch up. Ladies and gentlemen, this trip is hard, the task is very heavy, it may not be easier than fighting, and there may be a war, so come up with the spirit of twelve, now, go! ”
"Yes!"
Everyone hugged their fists and bowed, including businessmen such as Ma Chaoren and Li Dayong, people looked like each other, and Yusheng was already an unbreakable whole, Zhang Han was the backbone of everyone, what he said was what he said, and people were confident that under the leadership of Zhang Han, the future would definitely be better!
……
The Great Tomorrow Apocalypse is November of the third year.
The wind was extremely fierce, and when it blew on people's bodies, it felt like a knife was constantly stirring on their bodies, which made people feel cold.
Everyone's hands are black, that is the color of the freeze, and there will be no professional gloves for outdoor use in these days, people apply animal oil to their hands, and wrap them in fur, but from time to time they will be exposed to the air, and their hands are still blown black, and the blood vessels and green tendons are obvious.
More than 200 cavalrymen walked with difficulty in the vast snowy field, and behind them were long horseshoe prints, which were soon covered by the wind and snow.
Ma Wu tried to keep his eyes open, the wind was so strong that he could barely open his eyes, but he still tried his best to look ahead...... Of course, nothing can be seen, no roads, no buildings, no signs.
Behind them was at least three thousand miles, certainly not in a straight line.
They climbed over the mountains, arrived at the Nenjiang River Valley, and then crossed over again, returned to the Chifeng region of later generations, when passing through the old Daning area, when it was still far away from Chahanhot, it was discovered by Lin Dan Khan's subordinates, and then this small force was regarded as the Ming army scattered after the defeat of Guangning, and the Mongols began to send a small group of herdsmen and armor soldiers to chase and kill, and then a large force of troops, followed by Lin Dan Khan's uncle Brain Mao Dataiji personally led the troops to chase and kill, especially after the Mongols found out that the fried flowers were also in the ranks, The chase is even more vigorous.
On the way to escape, they also encountered several small groups of Jurchen cavalry, which made Ma Wu and others feel very surprised.
From this point of view, after defeating the alliance of the five tribes, the Jurchens have real actual control over the places from Nenjiang Horqin and Alu Korqin to the five tribes of Khalkha, rather than the loose alliance before.
"It's already Mobei." Fried flowers rushed over, his eyes were also wide, there were less than twenty Mongolians left who followed the fried flowers, so this old Taiji was very depressed, he had already understood at this time, the original Inner Khalkha five departments have ended, judging from the performance of the close attendants, the hearts of the people have crossed, if there is no external force, this five-part alliance has become a historical term, either to the Houjin side, or to the Chahar department.
However, the cavalry of the two and a half squadrons of Yusheng, due to the military doctors and medicinal materials accompanying the army, so far in the most difficult march, less than ten people left the team, and a few were too sick to continue the march and were placed in the herdsmen's homes for foster care, leaving behind the medicinal materials and silver, with the temperament of the Mongols will not be sold in a blink of an eye, of course, it depends on luck to survive.
A few others died in battle with the Chahar cavalry, but they were not lucky enough.
When they crossed the mountains of the Great Khing'an Mountains, they were in front of the Hu, Lun, Bei, Er steppes and Hulun Lake, where they passed through the territory of the Balhu people, and fought with some Oroqen people who were not open-eyed, and there were also Evenks, a small number of Saurons, these were very barbaric and undissolved small tribes, not only did they have no written language, but the language was also very mixed, it was a mixture of Mongolian and Jurchen indigenous languages, although many soldiers in the cavalry were proficient in Mongolian, it was still very difficult to communicate with these small tribes.
Here they knew that there were many Chahar people in the south who were searching for them in the wind and snow, and of course it was impossible to go south, and the passage was cut off when they returned to the Thirteen Mountains, and after Dai Shan and the others led their troops back, it became difficult to break through the encirclement of the Jurchens, and they might have to suffer quite heavy casualties.
Broken into parts, it is okay to go up the mountain from the Jinzhou line, but it requires the cooperation of the personnel of the Military Intelligence Department outside the Guanwai, and Ma Wu and others cannot cross the Guangning line at all.
They can only continue westward along the Krulun River, cross Choibals, and continue westward, walking along the river without getting lost or afraid of breaking the water...... But in the snowy fields, it doesn't matter if the water is cut off.
What tests people is the harsh and extremely cold weather, and the snow does not stop falling...... Snow falling on the grassland is a rare disaster year, which will destroy the herd, but even the snow that fell half a month ago will not melt, the weather temperature is too low, the average is below minus 20 degrees, and the snow will only get deeper and deeper.
"It's Mobei." Ma Wu didn't recognize these places, but that didn't prevent him from making judgments. It is clear on the map that behind them is a large lake, and along the river, another seven or eight hundred miles ahead is the city of Kulen.
"Well, seven or eight hundred miles......" Lin Nanxing and Xu Zhen glanced at each other, and the two squadron leaders had indifferent smiles on their faces.
I've already walked three or four thousand miles in a roundabout way, and what is the last mile? Ninety-nine worships, are you still afraid that this last tremor will not be successful?
"Mobei is not very friendly with us." Xu Zhen touched his chin and looked around. His originally smooth chin grew a messy grass-like beard, and there was really no way to pay attention to military discipline these days, everyone was about the same.
It's just that Xu Zhen turned his head and glanced at Lin Nanxing again, this damn little white face is still shaved, and he doesn't know how to stick to it and wash his face every day, his hair is combed neatly, and he can't see a little messy hair under the big hat, and this damn guy actually has a spare set of military robes, other people's military robes have long been tattered and ragged, and they are not good, this guy is still wearing a brand new military uniform, and the whole team, that is, this damn little white face, still maintains a pretty good image!
"It's nothing more than exploiting loopholes...... Ma Wu looked faint, looked at the fried flowers again, and said with a smile: "We have to drill around here and there in Mobei again, and find a way to go back to Monan, I estimate that we and Yusheng's merchant army have formed actual control over Tumut's territory, but the distance below may be three thousand miles away, old man, you have to hold on." ”
"What is this?" Fried flowers put on a very good face of Lao Tzu back then, and said: "At the beginning, several times to cut Ming, which time was not a thousand miles away." ”
"Old man, you didn't mention this back then." Xu Zhen said with a smile on the side: "The friendship that was finally established, let's not ruin it ourselves." ”
Fried flowers smiled and said nothing, no matter what kind of friendship he had established with the Han people in front of him, he and Su Bahai and others broke through the pass many times, and even went straight to Liaoyang City, it was still his greatest pride as the leader of the Mongolian Taiji Five Alliance, and this pride was also the insistence of this old Mongolian man, if he didn't have this insistence, how could he follow all the way with a straight waist?
