Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 606 Harasan

Taichang was thinking about how to develop the grassland outside the Great Wall, but Huang Taiji was thinking about how to escape.

If he was alone, he would have fled to the ends of the earth without hesitation, and disappeared without a trace.

The problem is that he is not alone, he has dozens of brothers alone, and his wives and children, including the wives and children of these brothers and sisters, are even more numerous.

Moreover, he had to consider the survival of hundreds of thousands of people.

The life and death of so many people and even their food and drink are all placed on him alone, so he is really tired.

He has moved the Khan Tent to the north several times, and hundreds of thousands of people have followed him to the point of breaking their legs.

The problem is that the Ming army is still advancing northward, more than a hundred miles a day, without any sign of stopping.

If the Ming army doesn't stop, they can't stop. Once they stop, they will become prisoners of others.

Alas, when will such a day end?
Huang Taiji rode on the horse, looking at the densely packed Eight Banners disciples around him, he couldn't help but secretly sighed in his heart.

These tribesmen are all dragging their families, and they don't know how many things they have brought, and they are already exhausted.

However, they had to hobble northward migration.

It can't go on like this!
Their food is getting less and less, and most of their cattle and sheep have been eaten. With so many people, how can they survive by escaping to the icy and snowy Lake Bell?

If everyone escapes, the more than [-] people in the Eight Banners alone will not be able to survive. What's more, the tribes on the Chahar and Horqin grasslands are also migrating north with them. Combined, the population outnumbers them.

Eight or nine million people ran over, and they would starve to death even if they didn't freeze to death.

There is no way to escape like this!

He thought about it carefully, and then said loudly: "Stop advancing, set up camp on the spot, and tell all the leaders of Baylor and the Eight Banners of Meng to come to discuss matters in the tent."

At this moment, everyone was really exhausted. With his order, almost everyone let out a long breath, and they could finally stop and rest!

Soon, tents were erected one after another, and within a radius of tens of miles suddenly became a sea of ​​tents.

In the sweat tent, Huang Taiji sat there with a tired face frowning and thinking, Baylor walked in one after another, but he didn't see him raise his eyelids.

He just sat there meditating in silence, all the Baylors had arrived, and the governors and leaders of the Meng Eight Banners had also arrived, but he still didn't say a word.

Big Beile Daishan saw this, he could only cough, and reminded cautiously: "Khan, everyone is here."

After hearing the words, Huang Taiji raised his head and glanced around.

These people are also exhausted, and there is more or less a trace of despair on everyone's face besides exhaustion.

It is really a bit torturing for the Ming army to chase like this!

He thought for a while, and then said in a deep voice, "You should all know that there is no way for so many people to survive if they flee to the grasslands to the north."

Everyone knows this.

Although the grassland in the north is large, the weather is too cold, the pasture is not very abundant, and the time for grazing is very short.

If it is just grazing, the grassland over there can support more than [-] people at most.

Moreover, it is not that there is no one there at the moment, there is also the Mengyuan tribe over there, and there are more than [-] people.

The tens of 10 of them migrated there, and they would starve to death and freeze to death.

When everyone heard the words, they all sighed again and again.

What can they do, let their clansmen be captured by the Ming army?
Unexpectedly, Huang Taiji really had this idea.

He looked at everyone's expressions, then gritted his teeth and said: "You should also know that Daming is known as a state of etiquette, and they are very concerned about face. Therefore, they will basically not abuse prisoners, let alone kill innocent people indiscriminately."

This means, I really want to keep my subordinates and let the Ming army catch them!

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words.

The clansmen were all captured by the Ming army, what should they do?
They all count on these tribesmen to live.

If there were no clansmen under their command, wouldn't they have to do everything themselves?
Among these people, there are many people who have never done rough work since they were born. Even if some people have done rough work, after enjoying the service for more than ten or even decades, they can't adapt to the wind and rain. It's time to get up early and be greedy for dark.

Horqin Baylor Zaisangbuhe couldn't help asking: "Khan, what will we do in the future if we lose our people?"

You also gave birth to two wonderful daughters!

Huang Taiji is really dissatisfied with this old man's behavior, it's this time, what else are you thinking about?

He endured it, and then asked back: "So what if we bring all the people with us? It's not like you don't know how cold the weather is in the north. Hailar is still covered with ice and snow. What should hundreds of thousands of people do in the past? Eat snow ?"

Uh, this.

Zaisangbuhe didn't dare to say anything.

Huang Taiji glanced around again, and then explained helplessly: "We brought the people there to harm them, should you also know that the grassland over there simply cannot support so many people.

They were captured by the Ming army, at least they would not starve to death or freeze to death.

Besides, we are not sending our clansmen to the Ming army.

In the future, we will still kill them back, and it will not be the same at that time, whose tribe should be or whose tribe should be. "

Can we still kill it?
Everyone didn't say a word, they all knew that Da Khan was in a bad mood at the moment, and they would probably get scolded if they asked this question.

Seeing the despondent looks of the crowd, Huang Taiji could only reluctantly encourage him: "The Ming army can't stay on the grasslands, the hundreds of thousands of troops cost millions of taels a month just for food and salaries, how many months can the Ming court last?

What's more, we have left them hundreds of thousands of tribesmen, how much food do they need to feed these tribesmen?
So, don't worry, the Ming army will return to the pass sooner or later, and we will be able to fight back soon. "

Well, this was indeed the case in the past. No matter which dynasty, it was impossible to garrison troops on the grassland for a long time, because there was no grain produced on the grassland, and the army could only transport grain from the pass.

The food of 10,000+ or ​​even hundreds of thousands of troops is not a joke. Not to mention how much food it costs a month, it is very laborious to transport so much food.

Therefore, no matter how powerful the Central Plains Dynasty was in the past, the most they could do was catch them and beat them up.

Then, there is no such thing as after that, they leave after beating up. No dynasty can sustain the consumption of living on the grassland and stationing troops.

Question, the Ming court seems to be neither short of money nor food!
Although they didn't go to see it in person, they heard about it.

Right now, Daming is extremely rich. The disaster victims in the northwest can earn a lot of money a year, and the grain in Liaodong is piled up like a mountain.

Moreover, people also have railways to transport food, which is very convenient.

Will Daming retreat after the beating like other dynasties?

This, no one really knows for sure.

Seeing everyone's hesitant expressions, Huang Taiji simply said coldly: "If any of you can't let go of your clansmen, you can stay with them. Anyway, Ben Khan will not take these clansmen to the grasslands in the north to seek death."

Are you kidding, stay?
How dare they stay.

Daming might not do anything to their clansmen, but once they were caught, they would probably be dragged out and hacked.

No one dared to take the risk.

Everyone quickly shook their heads and said, "No, no, let's evacuate with Da Khan."

Hmph, Ben Khan doesn't want to take your burdens with him.

Huang Taiji snorted coldly to himself, and then solemnly confessed: "That's okay, you all go back and prepare, we will hurry to Harashen tomorrow, remember, everyone can only bring their own wives, children, and children. Don’t blame Ben Khan for being hungry.”

Harasan?
When everyone heard the words, their faces showed hope.

Where is this Harasan?

Why did these people seem to see hope when Huang Taiji mentioned his name?
