Chapter 611: Harmony is precious
Facing Cheng Xiaolian's words, Wang Jiyong laughed: "Your Highness, don't worry, I and Daniel Zhang are just personal enemies, personal enmity will not be greater than state affairs, as long as it is for the sake of Daming, I can bear it, but I only ask for one point, if one day Daniel Zhang rebels against Daming, please let Your Highness let me behead him!" ”
Cheng Xiaolian laughed: "Okay, okay, let's hurry to the grassland, the speed of this march is the most important, if Tuhai sees through our intentions, we will have to be unlucky at that time." ”
Wang Jiyong laughed: "Your Highness, don't worry, you were right in your original inference, the Mongols do have the intention of watching the excitement, I guarantee that no one will take care of us at all when we borrow the Hetao Plain this time." ”
The army set out from Ningxia and arrived at the Hetao Plain after a few days, where the water and grass are abundant and beautiful for generations, so there is a folk proverb that "the Yellow River is harmful, only one set of riches". It is a rare agricultural area in Mongolia.
The water and grass here are abundant, and it is the paradise that the Mongolians dream of, but the geographical location is close to the Central Plains, so since the Han Dynasty, most of the tribes who can graze here have returned to the regime of the Central Plains, otherwise they will fight every year, and no one can stand it.
At this time, there are three Mongolian tribes living around, although the Central Plains is in turmoil, but it has nothing to do with them, but the Manchu Emperor conscripted troops to their heads, half of the middle-aged men in the tribe were requisitioned, although the Hetao Plain is fertile, but it is not as free as other places, whenever the imperial court has a will, they have to listen to the order honestly, so the ambitious tribes all go to the distance, these tribes are relatively people who yearn for ordinary life, they don't want to be warriors, I only hope that the family will have a herd of cattle and sheep, and the future generations will be free of diseases and disasters.
By the time the horses' hooves sounded on the Loop, the warriors of the three tribes had gathered together, and although they longed for a peaceful life, none of them would shrink their heads when the foreign enemy invaded, because they were warriors on horseback, and they wanted to protect the women and children of the tribe.
So when Cheng Xiaolian and Wang Jiyong arrived here, it was such a scene, although there were not many cavalry on the opposite side, but they all looked resolute, and it seemed that they came with the belief of dying in battle.
Cheng Xiaolian glanced at Wang Jiyong: "It seems that we have aroused their hostility." ”
Wang Jiyong smiled bitterly: "Of course, if someone breaks into your home with a knife, no one will have good intentions." So saying, he left his army with a group of his own soldiers, and came between the two armies.
At this time, if he came out alone, of course, he would be more sincere, but he was also worried that there were Manchu people over there, and if he rushed out directly and slaughtered him, he would find someone to reason, so he still brought a team of men and horses out of the camp.
"I'm Wang Jiyong, the general of the Ming Dynasty, and I invite your principal to come out and speak."
Soon a man about forty years old rode out on horseback, followed by a team of people and horses, looked at Wang Jiyong and shouted: "Son of the Han family, we have always been well water does not interfere with river water, why do you want to invade my border now?" ”
Wang Jiyong arched his hand: "Our army wants to borrow the Hetao Plain, but we have not reported it, and the offense is still looking at Haihan." ”
"Sons and daughters of the Han family, don't chew words with me, the grassland is not our place, and it is not under our control if you want to borrow the way, but you broke into the grassland with so many armored men, if I let you go, if you are fierce, won't the children of the grassland suffer a disaster? Therefore we cannot let you pass, and if you insist on passing over, then step over our corpses. ”
Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly in his heart, it's over, this is a human spirit, he doesn't want the army to enter the grassland, even if these people won't kill the people of his tribe, but the trouble caused may have to be counted on him, so people don't let him go.
But the army has arrived here, and it will be too demoralizing if it retreats, so Cheng Xiaolian's head quickly turned around and began to think of a way.
At this time, Wang Jiyong shouted loudly: "This leader, we people don't have any ideas about the grassland, otherwise it would be impossible to enter the territory of the grassland so openly, now the Central Plains is full of smoke, if you still want to live a peaceful life, it is better to retreat to the depths of the grassland, here sooner or later there will be a day to harm the pond fish, even if you don't mess with others, just the Manchu conscription, how many warriors have been requisitioned from your tribe, such as today there is no meaning of stability, Isn't it possible that you plan to let the warriors of your tribe die one by one in a foreign land? ”
"Son-in-law of the Han family, I admit that you have a very reasonable point, but the relocation of the tribe is not a matter of one or two days, give us three months, we will move the tribe to the depths of the grassland, and it will not be too late for you to borrow the road at that time."
Cheng Xiaolian secretly scolded treacherous in his heart, the leader of Mongolia has also learned to delay time, and in three months, the daylily has already been cold.
Wang Jiyong over there sneered: "I know that there are many warriors in your tribe who are all serving under the banner of the Manchu Dynasty, your heart is towards the Manchu Dynasty, but we are the army of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming and Qing Dynasties are not separate, since you have chosen the Manchu Dynasty, don't blame us for being ruthless, let's fight with real knives and guns, if you win, we will naturally obediently withdraw from the grassland, if we win, then the cattle and sheep of your tribe will be ours, as for the women and children, they are all from other tribes." ”
Saying that, he stretched out his hand and pointed: "Seeing that there is no king's banner behind me, my father Wang ~ Fuchen was the first to dominate the world, and I, as his son, may not be much worse than him." ”
Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment: "Why is this going to be a fight?" Not to mention anything else, even if we win the war, the Manchu side would have been alarmed a long time ago, and our raid would be useless. ”
The tribal leader over there laughed: "Erlang of the Han family, you Han people have a saying, peace is precious, and we have heard of the reputation of the king ~ general Fuchen for a long time, why don't we sit down and talk about it?" ”
Cheng Xiaolian snorted and almost laughed, to say that Wang ~ Fuchen's reputation in the Central Plains was shocking, he believed that if he wanted to say that in this grassland, it was estimated that he was not as famous as Ningxia Governor Chen Fu, and the leader probably saw that they had no malicious intentions, so he didn't want to fight, so he deliberately found himself a step down.
After thinking about it, Cheng Xiaolian understood, according to the news of Jinyiwei, these people should be people from the three tribes, and it seems that the Manchu court has indeed requisitioned a lot of people, if this battle is fought again, it is impossible to say whether they still have the ability to guard the beautiful Hetao Plain, and it will be a disaster to exterminate the clan at that time.
