Seeing Dong Ce's expression, the Empress Dowager Su Tai smiled slightly, and said in her heart: "What is this, what is this, what will open your eyes is still to come." ”

She suddenly struck her horse forward, and with a whistling voice, she shouted at the men, "Now, my people, let the guests from afar see your work on horseback." ”

Obviously, these people waiting in the valley are the three hundred people that the Empress Dowager Su Tai wants to give to Dong Chao, they have obviously been told about this by the Empress Dowager Su Tai a long time ago, and they also know their future fate. At this time, as soon as he heard what the Empress Dowager Su Tai said, he immediately beat the horses and galloped wildly, each showing his skillful horse control skills. In front of Dong Ce, his future official, he showed it hard.

For a time, in this mountain valley, there was the sound of people shouting and neighing.

At this time, it is very common to stand on a horse with both feet, and some even make all kinds of movements on the horse, and Dong Ce is dazzled.

After watching these people's performances, Dong Cefang knew that the scene that shocked him just now was just a breeze for them, and now these parties are a little difficult. And when Dong Ce's subordinates saw it, they were all dumbfounded.

They had been trained by Dong Ce for a long time before, and their equestrian skills had improved greatly, and they were quite proud of their skills, but they realized at this time that compared to these people in front of them, they were nothing, and the gap between children and adults was as huge.

In fact, this is very normal, no matter how much they train, they have only accepted less than half a year of training. And these Chahar tribesmen, they have grown up on horseback since childhood, and over the decades, the horses and people under the crotch almost have to be integrated, which is naturally far from being comparable to them, which is the natural gap between the Han people and the nomads, and it is difficult to make up for it through training.

In all dynasties, nomads have had the upper hand in this.

There is no need to be unbalanced, the nomads have advantages in this regard, and the Han people also have advantages in other aspects - such as weapon casting, armor casting, the manufacture of long-range weapons such as crossbow arrows, etc. In terms of equipment, it is much more sophisticated than the nomads.

In fact, horse control skills and combat effectiveness are not directly proportional, take Dong Ce's family members as an example, there are now three hundred people in these Chahar tribes on the grassland, and Dong Ce's family is only fifty or sixty. But if the two sides really fight, Dong Cejiading, who is fully armed, will definitely defeat the other party. Because there is not only a huge gap in equipment between the two sides, but also a gap in combat quality, killing skills, ruthlessness and battle formation.

After a full quarter of an hour, the Empress Dowager Sutai shouted: "Stop, come here and gather!" ”

In order to make Dong Ce and the others understand, she used Chinese when she shouted, and as for the Chahar tribesmen, there were people around her who were proficient in Chinese and Mongolian who translated into Mongolian and shouted at those people.

"Yes!"

The hundreds of Chahar tribesmen agreed in a chaotic manner, and they all beat their horses and came this way.

Three hundred people, five hundred horses, splashed the sky with smoke and dust, and the momentum was quite huge. When they were moving forward, they were very scattered, there was no structure at all, let alone formation, and it was clear that they had not been trained much before. It is clear that they are not professional soldiers, but just ordinary people.

Dong Ce also saw an acquaintance inside, who turned out to be Alatan Ula.

He rode a tall horse, a veritable tall horse, almost a giant, two heads taller than an ordinary war horse, and almost nine feet long, almost like a baby elephant. This size is extremely rare among Mongolian horses, after all, Mongolian horses are known for their endurance and strong survival ability, and their size is relatively small. But this horse, compared to the heavy horses of Europe, is not inferior in any way. Thinking about it, if it weren't for such a huge war horse, it wouldn't be able to carry the body of Alatan Ula, which was about two meters tall and weighed three or four hundred pounds.

He saw Dong Ce looking this way, and nodded slightly at him, but his expression was indifferent, and there was no emotion in it.

Empress Dowager Su Tai looked at Dong Ce and said with a smile: "How is it?" These people are all selected by me, but can they still be in your eyes? ”

When she said this, she actually meant to sell something good to Dong Ce.

It is true that these people were selected by her, but what she said to Dong Ce meant as if she had put a lot of effort into it, but in fact, it was not at all. Empress Dowager Su Tai informed the people in her own tribe of the news, and made it clear that if she could go to Dong Ce's command, everyone rushed to go.

God! That's ten taels of silver a year! Give it back armor, weapons, food and clothing! This is a good thing that I can't even think of! To tell the truth, even if they don't give money, with the latter conditions, these people are willing to go.

At this time, in the East Asian land shrouded by the Xiaoice River era, the life of the common people was generally not very good, not only in Daming, but also in the people of Chahar. The cold climate has led to serious desertification and severe drought, and there are fewer and fewer livestock to feed, and the winter is ridiculously cold, and a large number of livestock are frozen to death every winter. There are fewer and fewer pastures suitable for grazing, and most of them are occupied by nobles, and when the nobles have a bad harvest, they will exploit the lower ones even more, and these ordinary people will live more and more poorly.

In this world, it is not easy to make a living anywhere.

Even the Empress Dowager Su Tai was stunned by the enthusiasm of the people for this matter, and almost all the middle-aged men of the appropriate age wanted to go, but Dong Ce only needed three hundred people. So, she selected the elite among them. The people in front of him are definitely the most skilled and physically strongest part of his clan. In this way, although she asked Dong Ce for merit to sell well, she was indeed justified, and people really did things.

"It can be seen that these people are all strong, and their horse control skills are excellent." Dong Ce said with a smile: "The Queen Mother has bothered, and I am grateful." ”

The Empress Dowager Su Tai looked at him and said meaningfully: "You don't have to be grateful to me, just don't forget the conditions you promised me." We will cooperate in the future, and the benefits are still to come. ”

Dong Ce smiled: "That's exactly the truth. ”

Empress Dowager Su Tai glanced at him and then turned around, beating her horse and coming to her people, she took a deep breath, faced everyone, and said in a loud voice: "Now you all know that our Chahar Department has surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. From now on, you are also the people of the Ming Dynasty. And now, you are the most elite of my people, I will teach you to pick them out and let you follow Master Dong Cedong! ”

Speaking of this, she paused, stretched out her finger and pointed at Dong Ce, and then continued: "Lord Dong is a young and promising magnate who can be counted in the entire Ming Dynasty, follow him, you have a bright future!" And there is money to take, armor to wear, cotton clothes to wear, and in the future, you can eat and sleep warmly, and you don't have to worry about your livelihood anymore. When you have paid your money, you can also buy clothes and food for your wives and children who have left them on the grassland, so that they will no longer suffer! ”
