General Chapter 535: The winter in Meng Yuan, a land of farming and war, was much colder than that in Liaodong.

Tuta County is located near the border, but because of the power of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, this county has not experienced war for many years.

The county has a population of only 20,000 to 30,000, which is not a large number, but it is very prosperous.

The area is dominated by Mongolians, with a small number of Han people also living there.

The Mongolian people came out from the white water and black mountains. They were originally fishing and hunting. However, after learning from the Han people, they gradually focused on farming and opened up a large number of fertile fields outside the city.

But in winter, Meng Yuan men who have nothing to do will also go into the mountains in groups to hunt with bows and arrows.

The Han people in Liaodong are divided into military households and civilian households. However, almost every household of the Mongolian and Yuan people is a military household, not a household registration.

Instead, they have a strong family tradition of dancing with guns and sticks, shooting bows and arrows, riding horses, etc. Their children learn martial arts, riding skills, bows and arrows from their parents, and become soldiers when they grow up.

The Mongolian Yuan Dynasty rewarded farming and fighting, and gained land, wealth, and women through military exploits.

The court system of the Mongolian people today is similar to that of the Chu State, but their customs are similar to those of the Qin State.

There is a family in the city whose surname is Tuhar. It is not a common surname of Meng and Yuan Dynasties, but a local minor surname.

In Tuhar's mansion.

Forty-three-year-old Miha Niu stood in the yard, supervising the martial arts training of his three grandsons. He was a veteran of the battlefield and retired from the army as a centurion. At the same time, he also had one of his left eyes and two fingers.

In exchange, he received a mansion in the city, land outside the city, women, and wealth.

Miha Niu's three grandsons, the oldest is ten years old and the youngest is eight years old. They are strong and dark-skinned. They stand in a row and play with wooden knives.

"Practice well for me. Our Tuhar family only produces warriors, not cowards."

"My property will only be left to my eldest son. Your father's property will only be left to your eldest brother. If you want land, women, and houses, you have to join the army yourself, gain military exploits, and rob the Han people."

"A coward has no future. He only deserves to die in hunger, cold and poverty."

Miha Niu's expression is very stern, and coupled with his one eye, it gives people a strong sense of oppression.

At least in the minds of the three children, their grandfather was completely a tiger.

But while they are afraid, they also long to become a tiger.

Only strong tigers can tear their prey to pieces. Weak sheep can only be torn apart by tigers.

We need to practice martial arts, join the army and become soldiers, and then go south to rob Han people, women, wealth, and land.

As long as the sword in your hand is strong enough, glory and wealth will be at your fingertips.

The three children used all their strength and practiced their sword skills non-stop. Each one of them looked like a wolf cub, full of snarling aura.

"Um."

Miha Niu nodded with satisfaction, this is my cub. When he turns sixteen, he can be sent to join the army.

Get military exploits, bring back Han women, money, and land, and you can spread your business.

Sooner or later our family will become a prominent family.

"Sir, lunch is ready." A middle-aged woman dressed as Han Chinese walked over with a low eyebrow.

Her name is Wang.

Miha Niu snatched her away back then, and now she is a concubine in the mansion. Although she is said to be a concubine, she is actually almost like a maid.

Han women are only worthy of giving birth to babies.

"You practice for a while longer. Wait until I eat, then you eat." Miha Niu raised his eyes and shouted at his grandchildren, then turned around and went to eat.

At this moment, a Han slave walked in from outside, bent down and said, "Master, the county magistrate has invited me."

"Huh?!" Miha Niu frowned, showing surprise.

As a centurion who retired from the army, he has a certain political status. Just like a Han squire.

The county magistrate will also consult him if necessary.

But rarely.

"Prepare the horse." Miha Niu did not dare to delay and gave the order immediately. Then he stopped thinking about eating and strode to the door, got on his horse, took two Han slaves, and headed to the county government office.

After arriving at the main room, Miha Niu was even more surprised.

Except for the county magistrate Li Yan, the place was full. There were more than a dozen people including the county magistrate, retired centurions, and thousands of captains.

"Your Majesty the County Magistrate." Mihaniu came to Li Yan, bowed and saluted.

"Sit." Li Yan nodded and asked Miha Niu to sit down.

Li Yan glanced at everyone present and felt a little relieved. Li Yan was just his Han name. His Mongolian name was Haigar.

His family is also different from ordinary Mongolian families.

Most families in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty were still descended from martial arts, and their family tradition was strong. However, some scholarly families gradually formed and produced bureaucrats.

His family is this kind of reading family.

Li Yan was very good at being an official, but he didn't know anything about fighting, but at least he had little experience.

"Someone came to report that an army of about three thousand captains appeared near the county. However, I did not receive a transfer order in advance and did not know about this army. I thought it was a bit strange, so I ordered the city gate to be closed and mobilized.

Yamen, let's defend the city. What do you think?"

Li Yan asked in a deep voice.

Currently, there is no garrison in Tuta County, but there are 300 government officials.

As soon as Li Yan said this, everyone in the hall started talking, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

"Lord County Magistrate, you are worrying too much. Now we have ten thousand households fighting in Liaodong. The battle line is in Liaodong. The troops who appear in our Mongolian Yuan Dynasty must be our own people. Don't worry too much."

"Yes. Although there is no transfer order, it seems a bit strange. But the army transfers sometimes very suddenly. It is possible without the transfer order."

Military intelligence was gathered with the former prince Chunyuan.

No one specifically reported the news to the small border town of Tuta County. Therefore, no one in this city knew that Puguli had been killed.

In the eyes of everyone, the war was still controlled in the Liaodong area.

Say it again.

Even if Wanhu failed in Liaodong and retreated to the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, the Han people reoccupied Liaodong. Would the Han people still dare to attack the Mongolian Yuan mainland?

They are tired of living.

Kill as many as you come.

Our teenage boys are soldiers. How can they fight with us?

A fighting nation is not a vegetarian.

There should be no Han generals who have lost their minds and led their troops to pretend to be Mongolian and Yuan soldiers and come to our place.

But there are also a few people who think this matter needs to be done with caution.

Miha Niu is one of them.

Mihanu Niu thought for a moment, raised his head and clasped his fists at Li Yan and said, "Your Excellency, County Magistrate. The Han people have a saying, "Be prepared for any danger."

"I think you are right to close the city gate. Just wait and see. If this army is passing by, let them pass."

"But at the same time, you can give an order to recruit a thousand soldiers. With three hundred government officials, you can defend the city without losing anything. You will be prepared for any danger."

As soon as Miha Niu said these words, others despised him.

"Mihan Niu, when did you become so timid?"

"Yes. You are getting more timid as you get older. This is our army. How can any Han soldiers dare to appear in Meng Yuan?"

Miha Niu was unmoved and just looked up at Li Yan.
