Xu Xingxia and his white-clothed army are all based in the Black Mountain Camp, and it is impossible for them all to migrate to the Bayannur grassland. He must migrate the population from all over the country to enrich the population base of the Bayannur grassland, and has gained sufficient productivity and combat effectiveness. If the Oyanga tribe took this ride and migrated the tribe to the Bayannur grassland, it would undoubtedly be an excellent choice. In the area south of Yinshan, the richness of the Bayannur grassland is famous!

What are the two most important things for nomads? One is the number of people and the other is the number of horses, cattle and sheep. Among them, the number of people is the most important. This is the foundation of everything that is the foundation. If you don't have a sufficient population base, you won't have enough strong men. Without enough strong men, it is impossible to have a sufficient number of cavalry. Without a sufficient number of cavalry, it is impossible to guarantee its own safety. If you can't ensure your own safety, then no matter how many horses, cattle and sheep you raise, it's just making wedding clothes for others.

It seems that the three major tribes of the Tatars, and like the Mongol Tumut tribe of Lin Dan Khan, why are they so fearful? It is because they have a sufficient number of population bases, a sufficient number of strong men, and a sufficient number of cavalry troops. As long as most people mention Lin Dan Khan, they will inevitably mention his 50,000 iron lance cavalry, which can be seen from this. And Lin Dan Khan can't help the Horqin tribe, and the Horqin tribe also has tens of thousands of cavalry. In the savannah, everything is nonsense, only the fist is the most important.

If we want to increase the number of people, we must increase the birth rate and increase the growth rate of infants and young children. This involves more systematic engineering. Although there were no so-called population experts at that time, no one came to the conclusion of the law of population increase. However, they also vaguely know that they not only have a large number of children, but also let the children born grow up as healthily as possible. Only by combining the two can the population increase as quickly as possible. Obviously, in the steppes where the level of medical care is not developed, a suitable pasture is very important.

What kind of conditions are needed for such a pasture? At the very least, there must be a more suitable climate, not too cold. A climate that is too cold is extremely detrimental to population growth. Obviously, the climate north of the desert is quite unsuitable. South of Yinshan Mountain and Daqing Mountain, around the Yellow River, is the most suitable. Again, there needs to be enough food. With an increase in population comes a huge increase in the demand for food. Without enough food, you can't support a sufficient population. Obviously, the area north of the desert is also not suitable.

The Bayannur grassland fully meets the conditions mentioned above. Here, nomads can raise a large number of horses, cattle and sheep to provide enough food for themselves. At the same time, the climate here is also conducive to the increase of population. Moreover, it is very close to the area ruled by the Han people, so it is relatively convenient to obtain a large amount of medicine from the Han people, reducing the chance of dying due to disease. Due to its proximity to the Han rule, it was possible to obtain assistance from the Han people, and even if a large-scale disease such as plague occurred, it could be controlled to a certain extent.

There is no doubt that after listening to the advice of the well-wishers, Oyanga was immediately moved. If his tribe can be relocated to the Bayannur grassland, the space for development will be hundreds of times larger than the original. At the same time, the living conditions are hundreds of times better than before. As for security, there is no problem. As long as he can seek the protection of the white-clothed army, what else is he afraid of? The key is to obtain Xu Xingxia's full support.

This is even more important than whether or not you believe in immortality. After all, Changshengtian can't directly stretch out his hand to manage things, but Xu Xingxia can. Xu Xingxia's white-clothed army, when necessary, is even more practical than Changshengtian. In fact, with the introduction of Tibetan Buddhism, there are more and more people or tribes in the steppes who are unwilling to believe in immortality. Even among the three major tribes, there are many powerful figures who have betrayed the belief in Immortal Heaven.

Due to the different beliefs, there will be frequent bloody conflicts between the Tatars. Many people are worried that large-scale civil strife will break out within the Tatars at any time. For example, the Tatar tribes that besieged the Oyanga tribe believed in the Living Buddha and were incompatible with the Immortal Heaven. This is one of the reasons why Oyanga is fleeing. Because once the battle is lost, a heretic like him will definitely be chopped up and fed to the eagle.

A subtle smile floated on the corner of Xu Xingxia's mouth, and he said meaningfully: "You mean, you want to migrate to Bayannur grassland collectively?" Or do you want me to hand over the Bayannur grassland to you to manage? ”

Oyanga hurriedly said: "We just want to relocate to the Bayannur grassland, and we have absolutely no intention of dominating the Bayannur grassland, and we ask the master's permission." ”

In the end, Oyanga was like tears and snot or something, and it was all coming out. His heart was agitated for a while, and he couldn't help but kneel down again, and said bitterly: "Lord Qianhu, our Oyanga tribe is sincerely attached!" ”

Xu Xingxia nodded and said, "What did you bring?" ”

Oyanga hurriedly took out all the things on his body. He came to Ningxia Town this time to ask for help, in addition to carrying some gold, silver and jewelry, there were also some documents and the like. As a result, after several encounters, the gold, silver, jewelry, and the like were all spent, and now all that was left was some crumpled paperwork. One of them is an official document from the Oyanga tribe applying to be attached to the Ming court. This is the so-called national letter.

At that time, the so-called national letters were not limited to between countries. In fact, at that time, there were not many countries in the East, the real country. More often, something like the power of the state. The way in which they are combined, varied, cannot be described in detail. Later, it was extended to tribes large and small. The official documents they delivered to the Central Plains Dynasty are often called national documents. Generally speaking, when the imperial court receives these state letters, they will be handed over to the Ministry of Rites for discretion.

The contents of the letters of state are divided into several types, including those that go to war, those that ceased war, those that seek peace, those who apply for trade, those who apply for the signing of alliances, and those who apply for voluntary annexation. This credential of Oyanga was applied for voluntary attachment. If there is no accident, such a national letter is always welcomed by the imperial court. Others play the banner and take the initiative to take refuge in themselves and accept their own leadership, you can't not welcome it, right?

Of course, China's situation is always complicated. For this kind of state letter, the emperor himself is estimated to appreciate it, and the court officials are also appreciative, but the border generals below may not appreciate it. Because, the emperor's hobby is face, to expand the territory, to make meritorious contributions, and to surpass his ancestors. If a large number of ethnic minorities take the initiative to apply for membership, it means that you have great influence and can attract them to you. Later, when I came to Jiuquan, I saw my ancestors and had the capital to show off.

However, the generals below are going to give others the help of their real surnames. For them, those nomads who apply for voluntary attachment are simply called Hanako, and they are specially extorted from their doors. Well, it's not door-to-door begging, it's extortion, and if you can't get something, you won't leave. The so-called real surname help, in fact, is only three, either money, food, or troops. Either way, you have to dig your pocket. In these years, the landlord's family has no surplus grain, who wants to take out the things in his pocket and give them to others?

Of course, if you have the ability to do what Li Chengliang did in the past, you don't have to worry. In the past, Li Chengliang said that he occupied the area of Liaodong, controlled tens of millions of acres of land, raised 8,000 armed men, and all the most elite cavalry equipment, and his combat effectiveness was second to none in the entire East. With such a powerful family background, it is naturally easy to dig out something. On the other hand, if he doesn't pull out a hair, others will not dare to say a word.

Xu Xingxia casually browsed the national letters of the Oyanga tribe. This so-called letter of state, most of which is translated and written by the Han people who are half a bucket of water, the sentences are basically incomprehensible, the words do not reach the meaning, if no one explains, it is estimated that the talents of the Ministry of Rites will also be confused. There is no way, their cultural level is like this, unless the Ming court sent special personnel to write a national letter for them, otherwise, their national letter will always be so ugly. After all, these nomads still have no culture!

After a moment of deep silence, Xu Xingxia said slowly: "Oyanga, tell me honestly, can your tribe make up five hundred strong men?" ”

Oyanga hurriedly said: "Of course! If the Lord of the Thousand Households needs it, we in Oyanga can dispatch two thousand warriors at any time......"

Xu Xingxia shook his head, interrupted him, and said bluntly: "Five hundred is enough!" Your 2,000 people are estimated to be even fifty or sixty-year-old men and teenage children! ”

Oyanga had no choice but to laugh wryly.

Xu Xingxia's speculation is indeed not wrong, the tribe of Oyanga, with a total population of only more than 18,000 people, if 2,000 cavalry is dispatched, it is indeed all the men who can fight. Due to the frequent fighting, the number of men of the Oyanga tribe is greatly insufficient, and it would be good to be able to gather 2,000 men after excluding the wounded, the crippled, and the sick.

Xu Xingxia said undoubtedly: "I promise you to allow your tribe to migrate to the Bayannur grassland!" In addition, I helped you assemble an elite cavalry of 500 men, all armed with muskets. However, the command of this cavalry needs to be handed over to me! ”

Oyanga was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Thank you, Lord Qianhu, for your kindness!" ”

It is not difficult to hand over five hundred strong men to Xu Xingxia for command. As long as Xu Xingxia promised to help the Oyanga tribe, none of this was a problem. Oyanga is optimistic that as long as his tribe can migrate to the Bayannur grassland as he wishes, the population will increase by more than half in just ten years. Among them, the number of strong men can be increased by at least three thousand. In contrast, what is the cavalry of 500 men?

Xu Xingxia finally said: "Relevant procedures, you can negotiate with Yu Lijun's deputy Qianhu!" ”

Oyanga hurriedly agreed. He was so excited that when he went out, he almost tripped over the threshold. However, he didn't care at all and hurried away. Looking at her appearance, I felt as if I was worried that Xu Xingxia would regret it.

Tesna didn't know where to come from, and said with a smile: "Oh, you really took this Oyanga?" ”

Xu Xingxia said casually: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Tesna smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it, I'm afraid you'll be upset in the future." ”

Xu Xingxia squinted at her. found that this female goblin, it was rare that she had no intention of seducing herself, and wrapped her whole body tightly with a black leather coat. However, seeing her plump and red lips, Xu Xingxia couldn't help but think of her wild appearance. This damn female devil, the contrast between the past and the back is too great. I'm afraid that sooner or later I will be defeated. He said quietly: "What do you say? ”

Tessna's expression was solemn, and she said slowly: "On the prairie, there are actually not a few tribes who yearn for the Ming Kingdom. Especially those tribes with weak strength, all of them are hoping that the Ming Kingdom will come forward to maintain their existence and status. They were bullied by the big tribe, and they lived a miserable life, which can be described as painful, and they lived like a year. It's just that the Ming court had never accepted their requests before, for fear of getting into unnecessary trouble, they repeatedly rejected them, and they gradually gave up. ”

"Now, you have accepted the request of the Oyanga tribe for help and allowed them to migrate to the Bayannur grassland, then other tribes will definitely be moved. The Oyanga tribe has received great benefits, and of course the others will be blushing. They will all try to migrate to the Bayannur grassland! If my estimation is correct, in the next few days, a large number of tribal envoys will secretly come to meet you. ”

"However, the other big tribes will definitely be particularly disgusted by your behavior. Those weak tribes were originally dependent on them for survival, and they could get a lot of benefits from these weak tribes every year. If the small tribe is disobedient, the big tribe will directly destroy them. Now, they have all run away, and the interests of the big tribe will also be seriously damaged. Do you think they'll let you go easily? ”

Xu Xingxia said disapprerovingly: "I even offended Mo Yuegen, what are you worried about?" ”

Tesna shook her head and said, "It's not a matter of worrying about it, it's a question of whether it's worth it." Is it necessary for you to provoke an entire group of Tatars for the sake of an Oyanga tribe? What will you do if the Tatars gather a large army and go south? ”

Xu Xingxia said without hesitation: "Of course, the soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it!" ”

Tesna said with some worry: "Xu Xingxia, you have to think about it carefully. The three major tribes of the Tatars, if they jointly send troops, can dispatch two or three hundred thousand cavalry at any time! Two or three hundred thousand cavalry, do you think it's a small number? ”

Xu Xingxia snorted coldly in his nostrils, and said proudly: "If the Tatars really send 300,000 cavalry, I, Xu Xingxia, want to see if they have the ability to break the Zhenyuan Pass!" ”
