Go back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to be a soldier

Chapter 145 Tumote Wings

"Look, Brother Lin."

Zhe Zheti immediately went to a high place, pointed at the distance with a whip, and the two maidservants followed closely.Lin Yi came up, and Xiaoying followed with two maidservants.

The green grassland under the blue sky is spread flat like the sea. In the distant sky, there are dots of mushrooms of different sizes.

Ji Dong knew that this was what Zhezhe said about Tumote Left Wing Castle.Ji Dong lived in Wengniute for a while, and he already has a visual experience of the scale of these nomadic castles.

Today, when he looked at the scale, he knew from such a distance that just one right wing of Tumote was much bigger than the whole Wengniute.

"Let the brothers be vigilant, we will be there in a few tens of meters."

After Ji Dong gave the order, he led the troops and continued to move forward.The castle is getting bigger and bigger, and the yurt looks closer and closer.

Under the blue sky and white clouds, the green grassland, dotted with snow-white yurts, camels and horse herders can be seen everywhere, which constitute a vivid picture on the grassland.

At this time, a Mongolian cavalryman flew over, with a bow and arrow on his back, and a scimitar in his waist, like a whirlwind, he arrived near Lin Yi and the others in the blink of an eye.

These Mongolian Tartars surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and were incorporated into the two banners of the Qing Dynasty. Their armed forces were Qing soldiers, and they were Lin Yi and their enemies.

Therefore, Ji Dong's men and horses had already made preparations, and the vehicles stopped, and Ji Dong's guards were ready to fight. The remaining hundreds of men and horses protected the vehicles, and all 800 men and horses were put on high alert.

"Stop! What are you doing?" These Mongolian Tartars surrounded Lin Yi and the others as they spoke.Although they didn't wear armor, they all carried weapons such as knives and arrows on their bodies, and all of them raised eyebrows, swords drawn, and murderous.

"My friends, don't misunderstand me. I am a businessman from Ming Dynasty, and I have a banner to prove it." Lin Yi said, waving his finger and pointing to the banner of Shanxi Shanxi merchant Fan's family.

With greedy eyes, these Mongolian Tartars looked at Lin Yi, their more than 20 vehicles, and the Shanxi Merchants banner fluttering in the wind. Finally, their gazes fell on Lin Yi again. Xiaoying, Zhezhe and other women were shaking.

"Nanban businessman? Your honor and name?" The leader, a Mongolian Tartar, had a ferocious face and round eyes. He sized Lin Yi up and down several times, and said with a curled mouth.

"I'm Wang Ke."

"Oh prince, isn't it right? Isn't this the banner of the Fan family?" The Mongol Tatar knew the Han people's surnames quite well, so he saw the loophole at a glance.

These bugs Lin Yi has long thought of patches, and smiled lightly: "That's it, the Wang and Fan families have long been in-laws, and they often cooperate. Sometimes it's our family's flag, sometimes it's their family's flag, this is under the hood Greetings, I am fortunate enough to pass by Guibao Land, and I want to disturb Lord Bashan, the Vice-Capital Commander."

As he said that, Lin Yi took out the prepared greeting card from his arms, and then took the sealed silver from Zhang Hua, "This is 100 taels of Wenyin, please let me know if you are bothered."

As Ji Dong spoke, he opened the silver bag. The white silver was shining brightly under the sun.

As soon as they saw the white silver, the eyes of these Mongolian Tartars immediately became straight. 100 taels of silver had considerable purchasing power at the time. A strong man who worked long-term for a year could earn ten taels of silver. At that time, 100 taels of silver could be used to build a house, buy land, marry a wife, or even make some investment. Business, it's all right.

As a result, the leading Mongol Tatars really had a smile on their faces, thinking that Lin Yi's actions were quite generous, and he deserved to be a famous Shanxi merchant.Unlike some people who are rich but are too stingy.One shot is 100 taels, that's silver!

Ji Dong could tell at a glance that he was tempted. Sure enough, money can make ghosts turn the clock, and money can turn ghosts.Both ancient and modern times are the same, and things that can be settled with money are not a big deal!
Ji Dong hurriedly handed these things to Zhang Hua, and gave Zhang Hua a wink.

Zhang Hua understood, quickly returned the knife to the box, took the greeting card and the 100 taels of silver from Lin Yi, held it in both hands, gently urged the horse, walked forward a few steps, and slowly handed it over, respectfully Look respectful.

The leader of the Mongolian Tartar nodded to the one next to him, came to take the things, and handed it to the leader of the Tartar.

The leading Tartar held the silver bag in his hand, glanced at the greeting post, "Well, it's easy to say, I'm Uli Ji, if that's the case, please come with us, Prince Wang."

As he spoke, the leading Tartar led the cavalry to lead the way.

"Haha, I'm sorry." Lin Yi memorized the name, smiled humbly, and followed behind. 800 people took the guy but kept enough vigilance, drove the car and followed behind Ji Dong...

Tumed Right Wing Walled City, the most luxurious yurt.The city lord Bashan is also the old chief of their wing. Two years ago, he was entrusted by Huang Taiji as the deputy capital commander. Sitting inside, one was Ulihan, the other was Amur, two assistants of Bashan. At this time, the three Mongolian Tartars all frowned.

The reason is that they have encountered two troubles recently.One is that the eldest son of Huang Taiji, Hauge, came over half a month ago and asked them to send out 8000 strong men to follow him to destroy the rebellious city of Ongniud.Of course he didn't dare to give out the 8000 Jingzhuang, but what made him unable to swallow this breath was that Tumote's left wing also produced 8000 Jingzhuang.

They are both Tumed, with tens of thousands of households. Unlike other tribes, it doesn’t matter if they set up Zasak. They have different official positions on the left and right wings. There is only one deputy capital commander and one leader here. The capital commanders and deputy governors of others are all hereditary, and they are far from having this kind of treatment.

Although the official positions of the two wings are different, when paying tribute to Shengjing and performing military service every year, the two wings are the same. Why?This is so unfair.

The generals Uliji, Ulihan, Amuer and others started to yell at him in private at that time. Over the years of wars, the number of people in the tribe has decreased drastically. After they belonged to the Qing Dynasty, a large number of strong men were selected every year to follow the Manchus in their southern expeditions. In the Northern War, every time a strong man came out, the family had to support the strong man with food, armor, clothing and other expenses.Now that they want so many young men, they have to prepare so much food and grass for them. How can this go on?

As the leader of the wing, Bashan put the overall situation first, suppressed public anger, prepared for several days, and finally got enough 8000 men and a batch of food and wages, and let the leaders go away with Hauge.

But Bashan has been unable to calm down for the past few days. Compared with the left wing, this is too unfair. In addition, these Manchus are too casual. If they want people, they want people, and if they want money, they want money. will be overwhelmed.

In addition, what he didn't understand was that a small Ongniud City, a tiny place, had a total of 4 to 5000 people, and only 8 soldiers. Would it take so many soldiers to destroy them?The eldest son of the emperor, Hauge, sent troops in person, and all tribes sent troops. It is said that [-] or [-] horses have been assembled.

The excuse turned out to be that Daming would definitely send troops to intervene, so he had to make perfect preparations.What a joke.Ba Shan knew too well about the situation of the Ming Dynasty in recent years. This great empire is already at sunset, with internal and external troubles, and can't take care of itself.Where will there be soldiers and horses to send?Otherwise, can they sit back and watch North Korea be conquered by Huang Taiji?Otherwise, would they allow Lin Dan Khan to perish?

To put it bluntly, isn't it just Ji Dong?How could a small general of the frontier army, even though he had won several battles, be nothing special, become a serious problem for Huang Taiji and his son?In Bashan's view, this move was nothing more than an excuse for Huang Taiji and his son to take the opportunity to make money. These people are the cannon fodder for their father and son to expand and expand their territories.

It's a pity that the eagles on our Mongolian grasslands can't fly anymore. Now Mongolia is divided into pieces, like a plate of scattered sand, each doing its own thing, fighting each other, and only caring about themselves. Human slaughter, people under the eaves, how can you not bow your head!
The second worrying thing made them hold their breath even more.The thousands of acres of lush water and grass to the west of the Juliu River are now being fought over by the left wing of Tumote.Relying on the fact that they have a large number of people and big officials, their right-wing camels, horses or cattle and sheep, as long as they cross the Juliu River, they will detain people and livestock.

Because of this incident, there was a conflict between the two sides just now. Fifteen people were killed on the right wing and more than 30 were injured, while only a dozen people were killed and injured on the left wing. Of course, the right wing suffered a disadvantage.

But Ulan Tuo, the governor of the left wing, was tough, arrogant and unreasonable, and came to them with a threatening voice to question them.

He, the vice-in-command, refused to obey, but the first-level officials crushed people to death. Now it is the world of the Qing Dynasty. If the subordinates do not obey the superiors, it will be a big problem if they make a fuss with Huang Taiji. Bashan had to swallow his anger and give them a gift Sorry.

But Ulan Tuo refused to let go. The dead people on their side were left unattended, and more than a dozen people were injured on the left side. They have a three-day deadline.

This incident caused resentment among the clan.

Thinking about this, Bashan sighed, and his two assistants were helpless.

"My lord, what should we do about this matter?"

"I don't know, you two can think of a way for me?" Ba Shan looked bitter.

"My lord, please forgive me." General Urihan said, "Why should their left wing ride on our right wing? They have 12 people, and we also have 10 people. They have four high-ranking officials in their wing, and our wing There are only two, but the yearly tribute and the tax corvee and military service are the same, so should we endure this for a lifetime?"

Amur stood up angrily when he heard this, "Yes, my lord, if you really want to hand over people to them, they will get worse in the future, so you can't spoil them!"

Bashan shook his head, "I didn't want to do this at all, but if we don't, the conflict between our two wings will intensify. Who can be Damohan's opponent? They already have a lot of people, and we are the ones who suffer. There, their officials are one level higher, can they take advantage of us?"

"Hey!" Wulihan and Alimu sighed heavily.

At this moment, Uliji came in, and after saluting the three of Bashan, he said that the prince of the Jin merchant of the Ming Dynasty would pay his respects, and he presented a letter of greeting.

Ba Shan was taken aback, why did the Shanxi merchants of Ming Dynasty come here?Shouldn't you go directly to Shengjing to meet Huang Taiji and his son?

Ba Shan had only heard about what the Jin merchants of the Ming Dynasty were doing, but he rarely dealt with them.

Ba Shan took this greeting card and looked at it, and it was written in small lowercase letters: Mr. Wang Jiake, a businessman from the Ming and Jin Dynasties, paid homage to Ba Shan, the deputy governor. to the sky.Today I came to Guibao Land, and I came here to discuss and discuss important matters.

Bashan put it on the table after reading the greeting post, and walked around the tent twice with his hands behind his back. It seems that this prince is not taking advantage of the way, does he still want to make a deal with Ben Du?
Considering the unique status of Shanxi merchants, Bashan was not easy to offend, so he had no choice but to ask for it.
