The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty
Chapter 228 Tartars
Chapter 228 Tartars
It is impossible for all the Harqin tribes to be concentrated in Qingcheng. There will always be many small tribes scattered around.
In some cases, a few or a dozen Tatar households chose to build a yurt together in a leeward and sunny place for the winter.
It's just that the Tartars who have done too many bad things are not at ease. They intentionally or unintentionally stayed away from the Daming side wall, so there are no yurts built by the Karaqin Tartars within the distance that the cavalry can move in a day.
The Ming army and the Tartars are natural enemies. The proud Ming never traded women and relatives for peace. Conquest is the only choice. Therefore, it has often fought with the Tartars for more than 200 years.
The Tartars regard the Ming army as their number one enemy, and they study their opponents all the time. They all know the characteristics of the Ming army's cavalry.
The Ming army basically did not dare to camp in the prairie when they left the customs in winter. They would come out for a while, and when they found the yurt, they would rush up to kill people, grab cattle and sheep, and then retreat back to Guancheng.
The Harqin people gave up a safe distance of [-] miles, causing the eleven groups of sentry horses of the "Red Banner Army" to return empty-handed.
Huang Han was not discouraged. The knights searched the area for tens of miles and at least became familiar with the terrain, which was beneficial for the army to retreat calmly after completing the tactical mission.
It doesn't hurt to not be able to find the exact location of Qingcheng for the time being, as long as a few Tartars can be captured alive, these Tartars will know where Qingcheng is without exception.
The way of life of the Tartars is different from that of the Han people. Han Chinese farmers may never leave their villages and towns in their entire lives, while the Tatars will follow their parents to live in grasslands as soon as they are born.
They should have conducted transactions in this only place with a shop and a fixed merchant in a radius of hundreds of miles.
Because the Tartars cannot be self-sufficient, they must exchange cattle and sheep for salt, tea, iron pots, miscellaneous grains, flour and other daily necessities, and trading is essential.
Indeed, as long as you get close to Qingcheng yurts will continue to appear, after all, this is the central area of the Harqin people.
On a sunny slope more than [-] miles southwest of Qingcheng, more than a dozen families of Tartars built more than [-] yurts of various sizes to live together.
The yurt is made of a special wooden frame, cross-woven with wicker to form a skeleton, and then wrapped with two to three layers of wool felt. It is not only easy to build, but also easy to disassemble and move.
Theoretically, the transportation capacity of a settlement can bring all the yurts they dismantled, daily necessities, and food, so the Mongolians have quite a lot of carts.
Half of these dozens of Tatar families were young and strong, and followed Jiannu into the pass to rob Daming last November. Each of them robbed a lot of gold, silver, cloth, and Han people as slaves.
The life of the Karaqin Tartars is going well this year, and because too many Tartars have robbed gold and silver treasures, it is not too unlucky for the Tartars who did not go to Daming and lost the opportunity to rob.
The more gold and silver and tradable goods in the hands of the Karakin people directly led to an increase in purchasing power.
As long as the cattle and sheep grazing by the Tartars were sent to Qingcheng, without exception, they would be sold at a good price that was more than [-]% higher than in previous years.
Qingcheng also has a hotspot that attracts nearby Tatars to trade, that is, the price of Han slaves is very cheap. Two or three fat sheep can be exchanged for a Han man, and a mare can be exchanged for a Han girl with delicate skin.
Mongolia is also a strictly hierarchical nation. Taiji, big and small, manage the tribes. Taiji is equivalent to the low-level king of the Mongols, but some tribes of small Taiji only have one or two hundred Tutars.
Those who rule multiple Taiji are high-level Mongol kings. These people are Khans of different sizes. For example, Lin Dan, a descendant of the Jin family, is the largest Han among the Mongols. , Lost the opportunity to rule more Mongols.
In the absence of Khan and Daji, every Tartar settlement, no matter how big or small, will have an agreed leader.
Of course, these people were Tartars with noble status or high military value, and part of them were tribal chiefs or perhaps centurion commanders and tens commanders in the Tartar army.
The people of the grasslands basically do not distinguish between soldiers and civilians. They mount their horses, pick up bows and arrows and Mongolian scimitars, and go to the battlefield as soldiers. When they return to the yurts, they drive cattle and sheep to find water sources, and pastures are herdsmen.
About [-] miles northeast of the side wall of Da'ankou, this Tartar settlement is equivalent to a small tribe but not large in scale.
The leader was a centurion under the age of 40 named Hegelie, and more than a dozen controllers in this settlement had followed him into Daming Pass to burn, kill, and loot.
Not long ago, Hegelie took the young people from the tribe to Qingcheng to trade. They exchanged cattle, sheep, and horses for spirits, tea bricks, sugar, and other consumer goods. They also exchanged seven young Han women and five Looks like a rather robust Han Chinese male.
In fact, they don't need to sell cattle and sheep for their livelihood at all this year. The gold and silver treasures they robbed are enough to support them to live a prosperous life for several years.
It's just that the cattle and sheep need to be slaughtered when the time comes, and there is a limit to the number of litters left for the winter. If there are too many people in the tribe, they will be too busy. The Han people who have just been captured cannot adapt to the technical work of serving livestock production.
The Tartars drank and had fun in the yurts, while the Han male and female slaves huddled in a corner and suffered bitterly, and the smoke rising from the yurts spread far away.
There are more than 50 adult males in more than a dozen Tatar households, and each family has two or three Han servants. There are nearly [-] Han adult men and women in total, and there are no Han children or old people.
Among the five Han males that He Gelie exchanged for sheep was Xiang Chengliang, who was from Gyeonggi and was in his twenties this year.
He is a boy who has only passed the county examination but never the government examination. His hometown is Zhangjiawan, Beitongzhou.
He has been changed hands by the Tartars three times, during which time he saw two Han women who couldn't bear the inhuman torture commit suicide, and he also saw a Han man about his age die from exhaustion.
Xiang Chengliang, who used to go out of his way a lot in the past, had a good physique. Even he himself thought he should be considered lucky. He worked as a cow and a horse every day, and slept in a haystack without enough food. He didn't die of illness or exhaustion.
This time he became a commodity again. A month ago, he, four other Han men and seven women were taken away from Qingcheng by the new owner, Hege Lie, to a place they didn't know at all.
Xiang Chengliang thought that as long as he went south, he would be closer to his homeland after all. He had been a slave to the Tartars for nearly a year, serving cattle, horses and sheep all day long. Not only did he improve his riding skills, he also learned how to ride. Some horse sex.
He has been planning to escape, looking for an opportunity to steal two good horses with fast feet, and then change trains and gallop south.
