Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

The small tribe on the grassland has hope,
A large number of small tribes joined Balanadu, bringing sufficient population to Balanadu.

Don't look at a small tribe with only a few hundred people, and a small tribe with only a few hundred people, and a slightly larger tribe with no more than a thousand people.

But everything can't stand the amount.

A small tribe has a hundred roofs, and ten small tribes are one banner.

The most indispensable thing on the grasslands are such small tribes. Some were defeated in the battle for grassland and lost a large number of people and were forced to flee. Yes, and some herdsmen who had been abandoned by the tribe gathered together to report to the group to keep warm.

These small tribes often cannot survive a winter, but many such small tribes appear on the grassland every year, and then die out.

This early spring, Balanadu has taken over dozens of small tribes, and they are arranged on the vast Balanadu grassland to form new pastures one by one.

Originally, Lindan Baltu had hoped to annex some small tribes to recover after the winter. After all, Lindan Baltu was a member of the Golden Family, the Great Khan of Monan, and his Chahar tribe was also the largest tribe in Monan. South means security.

However, the troops sent by Lindan Baltu came back with nothing. They told Lindan Baltu that the Balianna in the west was robbing them of the small tribe.

Hearing that Balianna was trying to compete with him, Lindan Baltu threw the cup in anger.

Ever since he lost to Huang Taiji last year, it seemed as if he had been unlucky, and everything was not going his way.

With the big defeat, after the Chahar tribe lost two thousand riders, the Horqin tribe and the Tumed tribe all questioned his position as the Mongolian Khan, and even the Aso tribe wanted to take advantage of his defeat to claim some benefits .

Although this is normal on the grassland, Dou Lindan Baltu just feels uncomfortable. He is a Mongolian Khan and a descendant of the Golden Family. How could he be wronged like this?

But Monan Mongolia was originally divided, and the Horqin, Tumed, and Ordos tribes did not listen to his orders. Now that he is defeated and his prestige is greatly reduced, the tribes will ignore him even more.

Even though he shouted to summon all the tribes to seek revenge from Huang Taiji, these big tribes still went their own way, and they didn't take him, the Mongolian Khan, seriously at all.

Even Lindan Baltu suspects that if Erdos and Chahar are far away and separated early, it is estimated that Erdos will come to challenge his majesty.

Fortunately, there are many grasslands and tribes between Ordos and Chahar.

Originally, Lindan Baltu wanted to annex these tribal pastures to restore his strength, but who ever started a war with the two big tribes, the Balian tribe and the Nadu tribe!

Lindan Baltu's mouth was almost crooked when he heard the news. He waited for the Balian and Nadu tribes to lose both sides in the fight, and then picked the fruit. Winning, instead let Da Ming swallow these two tribes.

Facing Daming who has now defeated Huang Taiji and is in full swing, Lindan Baltu cursed and still didn't dare to cause trouble. He chose to bury his head and pretend that he didn't know anything, and comforted himself in his heart: Well, at least the Ordos Department can't come here, he only needs to deal with the two [-]-year-olds of the Tumed Department and the Horqin Department.

However, Lindan Baltu didn't expect that after this winter, the Balian and Nadu tribes swallowed by Daming became a whole, and they even competed with him on the grassland for population!
Lindan Baltu is so angry that he is almost red-hot. He is the Mongolian Khan and the master of the grassland. How can he challenge his status personally? !

Now that Huang Taiji is sending troops to Horqin, Dorgon and Duoduo are galloping recklessly on the Horqin grassland. They simply don't pay attention to the Horqin tribe and him, the Mongolian Khan, but facing the still strong Manchu Qing, he Lindan Baltu also I could only smash my teeth and swallow it in my stomach.

It's good to let Horqin delay Huang Taiji's time. When Horqin can't hold on anymore, they will definitely come to him, the Mongolian Khan, for help.

But who would have imagined that Horqin couldn't hold on any longer, so he still didn't come to him, as if he, the Mongolian Khan, was treating him like air!
Right now, Man Qing stretches out his hands to wantonly conquer Horqin, and Daming is still stirring up wind and rain in Balianna. Lindan Baltu, who is caught in the middle, feels extremely uncomfortable and wronged.

When did the dignified golden family, the wolf family in the north, suffer such grievances? !

So Lindan Baltu directly ordered his subordinates to rob the population directly, as much as they could rob, the Chahar Department needed fresh blood too much.

The Great Khan gave the order, and the riders from the Chahar Department naturally came to snatch the population.

In this way, Daming and Lindan Baltu competed for population on the grassland between Baliannadu and Chahar, which made many small tribes sitting on the fence miserable. The feeling of being attacked by two sides of Tai Chi is really uncomfortable.

Facing the solicitation of Daming and Lindan Baltu, the Great Khan of the Grassland, these small tribes were also hesitant. It is the overlord of Monan, and he will definitely be able to settle down if he joins the Chahar Department. As for the cattle and sheep?

That's not to be expected.

Joining the Chahar Tribe, Lin Dan Khan will not give them pastures, but swallow them directly. The population, cattle and sheep will be distributed to the nobles of the Chahar Tribe and Lin Dan Khan himself. If a tribe enters, all the bones will be given to you Not left.

But anyway, it's a way out.

After all, no one who joins Daming knows how good Ming is.

The hesitation of the small tribes is not what Cao Wenzhao and Lindan Baltu care about. They only care about how many people they have won. Therefore, the two sides first promoted on the grassland to encourage the small tribes to join them. Small tribes submit to themselves.

Later, both sides had small-scale frictions.

Faced with such frictions full of dangers of misfires, both Cao Wenzhao and Lindan Baltu chose to turn a blind eye. They still let teams of riders go to various small tribes to promote and encourage small tribes to join their side. Of course, if they found the other party's riders , that is definitely to get rid of it first.

On this day, the cavalry sent by Cao Wenzhao and the cavalry sent by Lindan Baltu encountered a small tribe.

This small tribe has two hundred domes and a population of more than 300. It is only a small tribe, and the cavalry can only bring 200 people.

However, around this small tribe with a population of just over 300 people, there are thousands of cavalry, facing each other under banners. Faced with such a scene, this small tribe is extremely vigilant. The only two hundred cavalry are Gripping the weapon tightly, he looked warily at the two groups of cavalry outside the tribe.

Of these two groups of cavalry, one is a battalion of cavalry under Dingyuan General Wang Lin, and the other is half a thousand cavalry sent by Lindan Baltu's Chahar Department.

After a quarter of an hour of confrontation, the two sides immediately launched an attack.

There was no advance warning, and no negotiation. With the horseshoes pawing the ground restlessly, and whoever shouted "Kill!", the well-prepared riders on both sides immediately drew their bows and arrows, and the arrows shot one after another. You come and go, and then you pull out the scimitar, pick up the short spear and charge.

The horses neighed, the horseshoes galloped, and the cavalry with the flags of Ming Dynasty and Lin Danhan broke out in conflict. The two sides added up to thousands of cavalry handed over in this pasture to fight for this tribe of more than [-] people.

Is it worth it?

of course!

Because this kind of competition is not the first time, both sides are already angry!

The scimitars collided, the war horses bit each other, Mongolian curses and shouts accompanied the scimitar collision, and the war horses neighed, adding a few traces of warm blood to the howling cold wind.

After a wave of charges, the two sides turned their horses and switched positions.

And in the fighting area in the middle, there are already hundreds of warm corpses. The horses of these corpses are still humming and arching their master's body, trying to wake up the master, and continue to ride on them and lead them to gallop.

The lieutenant of the Han army looked at the cavalry on the opposite side and knew that he had encountered a hard stubble this time. He had already lost dozens of brothers, but the cavalry from the Chahar department on the opposite side was not feeling well either.

The two sides were vigilant, silently raised their bows and arrows, and then began to retreat, retreat, and finally returned with their corpses and horses, leaving a messy pasture.

This small tribe heaved a long sigh of relief after seeing the two groups of cavalry leave. Looking at the pasture trampled by galloping horses, the messy marks on the ground, and the puddles of blood, look at the herdsmen of this small tribe. I, I look at you, I don't know what to do.

As the oldest old leader in the small tribe, he looked at the expectant eyes of the tribe members with a sad face, and after a long silence, he said, "Oh, we have to move."

A herdsman asked, "Chief, are we moving again?"

The old leader said helplessly: "Right now, Da Ming and Da Khan are competing for grassland and population. We can only become victims if we continue here. Let's leave here and find a new place to survive."

Another herdsman asked, "Leader, do we still want to wander? Can't we choose a side to join?"

The old leader said: "If we join any side right now, we will all become victims. We should stay away from here for now. We will join the victorious side after the war has come to an end."

The clansmen nodded silently, and began to tidy up their domes, gather cattle, sheep and horses to prepare for migration.

For these small tribes, constant migration is their destiny. They want to chase pastures, weather, and hope of survival.

And now, they are going to migrate again, this time they are not going to chase, but to escape from the war.

This little tribe is lucky.

Because they left on the front foot, a large group of cavalry arrived on the back foot.

First, a complete thousand cavalry from the Chahar Department, thousands of cavalry arrived, looked at the deserted grassland before they had time to be dazed, there was a large sound of horseshoes in the distance, this is two battalions of thousands of Ming cavalry rushing Arrived.

The captain of the Ming Army saw that the tribe was gone, and thought that the Chahar Department took the people away first. The two sides looked at each other, then guarded each other, and then called for help.

Teams of riders spread out, and batches of reinforcements arrived.

From the original confrontation of no more than 2000 people, the two sides gradually turned into 3000, 4000, 5000 people, and finally became a confrontation of tens of thousands of people.

General Wang Lin of the Ming Army Dingyuan arrived with his headquarters in person, and a commander of ten thousand cavalry also came from the Chahar Department. The two sides combined tens of thousands of cavalry to confront each other in this pasture for a whole half a day. , retreated silently, without saying a word the whole time.

And this kind of confrontation is still intensifying. Cao Wenzhao and Lindan Baltu both know the current situation, but they still keep silent, waiting to see who can't support it first.

It seems that Cao Wenzhao is still calm, but now he has only 10,000 Mongolian cavalry and [-] Ming troops in his hands. Facing the Chahar tribe with [-]+ dome huts and hundreds of thousands of troops, Cao Wenzhao felt like Still a little bottomless.

Although Shoufu told him to play with peace of mind and let go of his work, it was a win, and if he lost, the situation would be bad.

Looking at the current situation of confrontation between Balanadu and Chahar, Cao Wenzhao pondered for a long time, thinking about whether there is any good move to break the current situation.

Balianna is not any other Mongolian tribe. Balianna is a prefecture of Ming Dynasty. A large number of herdsmen want to live in peace, herd, and cultivate. What's more, Balianna is still preparing for city building and road construction, so it can be mobilized There are not many people.

At present, [-] cavalry is the most suitable state. If more cavalry is deployed, Baliannadu will really not have enough manpower.

While Cao Wenzhao was thinking about how to break the situation, Lindan Baltu was also worried.

In the current confrontation, it seems that the Chahar Department is confident, but in fact, Lindan Baltu is really guilty.

After all, Daming is not what it used to be now, its national strength is strong, it can defeat Huang Taiji in a frontal field battle, and Huang Taiji can defeat itself, no matter how you look at it, it is not an advantage.

Therefore, Lindan Baltu was still very afraid that he would not be able to defeat the Ming army in Balian Nadu. If he lost to Huang Taiji first and then to Balian Nadu, then he, the Mongolian Khan, would really have no tribe to deal with.

At that time, not to mention Horqin, Tumed, and the large tribes in western Ordos, those small and medium-sized tribes will not pay attention to the Chahar tribe who has been defeated repeatedly, and the thieves and robbers on the grassland will no longer be afraid of Chahar. Department, dare to steal cattle and sheep from Chahar Department.

Not to mention that this Mongolian Khan has no majesty, the leader of the Chahar tribe, the nobles will question his authority, and a new Khan who will lead the Chahar tribe to victory will come up.

After all, for a world where the weak and the strong prey on the grasslands, the leader of a tribe can be cruel, cunning, and vicious, but he must not be incompetent.

As for the Great Khan on the grassland, if he cannot prove his ability and cannot subdue the tribes, then what he will lose is not only the majesty of the Mongolian Khan, but also his own life.

The wolf king on the grassland has to experience countless challenges from male wolves in his life, not to mention the Mongolian Khan?
Lindan Baltu was walking around in his magnificent tent, and a group of chieftains and nobles were waiting for his orders.

When he saw the golden scimitar wrapped in wolf fur and inlaid with precious stones that was sheathed in gold next to his wolf-skin throne, Lindan Baltu didn't hesitate anymore, he had already made a decision.

"Everyone!"

"We can't continue to let Balanadu rob us of our population!"

"The wolves on the grassland absolutely do not allow their prey to be stolen by hyenas. Now the small tribes around are being annexed by the Balanadu. The Balanadu has already threatened Chahar. This Khan does not allow such things to continue. down."

Listening to Lindan Baltu's words, a leader said: "It should have been like this a long time ago, Dahan, we can't let those wise people underestimate us!"

The other leader also said: "Yes, those are the cattle, sheep and population that should belong to us, but now they are taken away by the Ming people. They don't know how to survive on the grassland, they will just waste the population and population." Cattle and sheep."

A nobleman laughed and said, "Ming people can survive on the Great Wall. On the grassland, we Mongols rule. With so many of them gathered together, is it possible that they still want to build a city on the grassland?"

"They will only be our prey!"

Someone asked: "Today, we are still allies with the Ming Dynasty, and Balanadu has not made it clear that we want to go to war with us. If we rashly go to war with Balanadu, will the Ming Dynasty accuse us of violating the covenant?"

Another leader said: "Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is our ally, and it is indeed inconvenient for us to attack the Ming people, but we can attack those herdsmen. Those herdsmen are the people of the Great Khan, just like the people in the Great Wall." The Han people are all the subjects of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and the herdsmen on this grassland are also the subjects of the Great Khan."

"The Great Khan deals with his own people, what does he care about the Ming Dynasty?"

"As for the covenant, that thing was useful before it was torn up. Grassland and the Ming Dynasty have signed so many covenants, which one was not torn up in the end? If the covenant is useful, why do we still have to fight? What's more, when we started the war with Huang Taiji, we didn't see it. Ming people come to help us!"

Listening to the leader's words, all the nobles also echoed.

On the grassland, the weak are preyed on by the strong, and the law of wolves is taught. Covenants are only effective when both parties recognize them. If both parties do not recognize them, what is the difference between a covenant and waste paper?
What's more, Ming people are now running to the grasslands to grab the grasslands and the population. If the Chahar tribe still tolerates it, what will the surrounding tribes think?
Lindan Baltu also agreed with these words. He looked at a nobleman and said, "That's right, Ben Khan signed an alliance with the Ming emperor, but the Ming emperor didn't help us!"

"Today, they are still robbing our herdsmen, cattle and sheep on the grasslands. It is impossible for Ben Khan to tolerate it any longer!"

"Let the warriors go, go to Baliannadu, and take back our cattle, sheep and herdsmen. Those are the resources of my Chahar department, not his Ming Dynasty."

Hearing Lindan Baltu's order, all the chieftains and nobles also bowed down and saluted: "Yes, sweat!"

These chiefs look at me, I look at you, the cruelty in their eyes and the excitement on their faces cannot be concealed. They have long heard that Balena has passed the winter safely, with a large number of cattle and sheep, and a sufficient population , they have been coveting these for a long time!
