Chapter 256: The Prairie Meeting
The news of bombarding Jinzhou City also spread to the prairie, which also caused shock to the prairie. In particular, the army of the Fu Liao army mainly convened many nomadic tribes to hold prairie meetings in Guihua City, which even fueled the fire.
Near the Guihua City, almost the most important group of big figures on the Inner Mongolia grassland gathered to participate in the grassland meeting of the Liao army. They also talked about the dynamics on the grassland with relish.
"Why did the Epinchen of Ordos come here in person as his identity?" Some of the more knowledgeable Mongolian tribe senior leaders saw the cavalry of the Ordos tribe coming from the Hetao Plain, as well as their leader Epinchen.
"I heard that Lin Danhan was the one who helped him catch him. It would be normal for him to participate in this prairie meeting in person." Some tribes talked, "Maybe the Ordos tribe has become the front pawns of the Fu Liao Army in the western part of the grassland."
Epinchen directly ignored these rumors and took his subordinates to the designated location under the guidance of the Fu Liao army soldiers.
"Our military commander heard that you came in person and specially left a place for you." The cavalry of the Liaonan Dragoon Brigade was guided by them.
"This prairie meeting will not be a trap for you to restore the Liao army to capture all the tribes in one go, right?" Epinchen asked directly.
"You are joking. Our Liao army will not use such despicable means to gain control of the grassland. If we want, we can just use force to obtain it." said the cavalry who guided him.
Epichen was a little surprised. He didn't expect that even the ordinary cavalry of the Refuting Liao Army were so arrogant. This is the confidence that can only be accumulated by winning for a long time.
In the past few days, Guihua City has gathered more and more nomadic tribes. Some are tribes that are willing to take the initiative to rely on the Restoration of Liao Army, and some are tribes that are afraid of the Restoration of Liao Army's military force. They are afraid that Chu Yun will attack them on the pretext of not participating in the prairie conference, so they also sent people to participate symbolically.
The entourages and guards of these people were placed outside the city, and some major participants were allowed to enter the city. There were 10,000 infantry and ruozhang soldiers in the city, and there were 30,000 cavalry patrolling outside the city, so there were no fear that any tribe would dare to make a mistake.
"The military leader, the leader of the Ordos tribe, attended the meeting with two hundred cavalry, and many leaders of the Chahar tribe also arrived in person. It seems that they attach great importance to this meeting to establish a new order in the prairie.
"After all, it is related to their vital interests and the future of the tribe. Can you not care about it?" Chu Yun saw Mongolians surrounding the vicinity of Guihua City on the earth wall of Guihua City.
These people are the future of the prairie. If the prairie is integrated together, they may not be unable to use this power to carry out the Western Expedition in the future.
However, staying in Guihua City for one more day will require tens of thousands of people to consume a lot of food, which makes Chu Yun unable to bear it. He can only speed up the process of the prairie meeting as soon as possible.
"All major tribes should have arrived. Let them go to the square in the city for discussion." Chu Yun said.
It is finally about to begin! The leaders and representatives of major nomadic tribes met with the Refu Liao Army from the east with great anxiety.
They gathered together, and many tribal leaders and senior leaders knew each other, especially the branches under Lin Danhan's Chahar tribe. A few days ago, they fought with the Fu Liao army together.
At the conference, the leaders of the eastern tribe who went to war with Chu Yun were already here, and the infantry officers of the Fu Liao army were all energetic. In contrast, the central tribe who had just lost the battle was a little embarrassed. The neutral tribes of Ordos and other tribes in the central and western regions did not have any emotional fluctuations.
"Everyone, I'll call you all to come today to give you a way out." Chu Yun appeared with the officers' regiment. "Lin Danhan cannot restore the glory of the former Golden Family, and you have never been willing to obey him. The prairie continues to split and wars continue. Not only that, in recent years, the weather is cold and the land is frozen, and there is not enough food on the prairie. Every year, a large number of cattle and sheep have to be slaughtered, and plundered from the outside to survive. However, the war also thought that a large number of people died every year, at the hands of the Han people, and at the hands of their own people."
"Yu Gong, I want to completely resolve the survival model of the grassland for thousands of years and resolve the conflict between nomadic peoples and agricultural civilizations. After all, the root of the conflict between the two conflicts lies in the contradiction between backward productivity and the unbalanced production methods of the two civilizations. As long as productivity is improved and there are endless food and endless materials to be used, this contradiction can be resolved."
"For private purposes, I want a large ranch, coal mine, and the most brave grassland warriors and war horses that are thousands of miles away from the grassland. Correspondingly, you can obtain food, industrial products, education, medical care and other important materials that you cannot produce at the moment from Liaodong and southern Liaoning. Both sides can use their relative advantages and location advantages to turn wars into jade."
Chu Yun talked endlessly about his understanding of the grassland issue on the stage.
The Mongolian nobles and leaders in the audience were a little confused when they heard Chu Yun’s words about productivity and location advantages, and nodded one after another, looking like they didn’t understand but sounded very powerful.
"Master of the Chu army, our Ordos tribe wants to ask whether the Fu Liao army will send troops to interfere in our tribe's affairs." Epinchen took the lead in asking.
As soon as he asked this question, the leaders and nobles of other tribes raised their spirits. This matter was too important to them.
"If you can follow the arrangements of this prairie meeting, I can guarantee that you will not interfere with the affairs of all tribes. Of course, except for the announcement of being incorporated into the eastern grasslands of our revival of the Liao army," Chu Yun said.
"So what do we need to follow for this prairie meeting?" Epinchen asked again.
"There are three main points. We will send officials to negotiate with you for the rest of the details. The first point is to open up free trade. The Liao army will open a market in the Korqin Grassland. In the future, you can go to the Korqin Grassland to trade materials with us without being exploited by Ming merchants near Shanxi and Shaanxi. Of course, there will be caravans in Liaodong passing by your ranch, and you need to protect the safety of these caravans. The second point is to approve the pastoral areas of each tribe, which may take several months. Once the pastoral areas are approved, conflicts will not break out easily among the tribes in the future. The third point is that each tribe must no longer be under the jurisdiction of our Liao army. The grassland meeting will be held in this Guihua City every year. As compensation, we will provide each tribe with a quota for education."
"Only in the future, the tribes who perform well can be incorporated into our Liaodong and form a cavalry organization like the eastern tribes." Chu Yun said.
