"drive……"

Chile River, under Yinshan Mountain...

The winter months of the fourth year of the Apocalypse were colder than in previous years. The messengers who fell from the fire also rode their horses on the snow that were barely over the horse's hooves.

They crossed the frozen Yellow River and came to the warmer Qianpao area.

Compared with the bitter and cold desertified Hetao, the front cover, the back cover and the western cover may be a slightly livable place.

Among them, the most livable Xitaka Ningxia area was occupied by the Ming Dynasty, while the front condoms in the Hohhot-Baotou area in later generations were slightly different from the back condoms in Bayannur area.

But even so, for the nomadic people walking on the grassland, these two places are still Feng Shui treasures.

Among them, especially in the Qiantao area, the entire plain has flat terrain, suitable climatic conditions, fertile soil, abundant water sources, and abundant wheat and various vegetables. It is the "rice and grain river" in the Hetao area.

Since the rise of the Tumot tribe, these two places were occupied by the Tumot tribe. Later, under the promotion of the San Niangzi, Ida Khan negotiated peace with the Ming Dynasty during the Longqing period and was named King Shunyi. The Tumot tribe called himself the Jin Kingdom of the Ming Dynasty to the outside world.

At this point, the Tumote tribe completely reached its peak, dominating the western part of the desert, controlling the Hetao Ordos and Ningxia Ordos, and the tiger lies in the northwest, and the northwest of the Ming Dynasty also ushered in more than ten years of peace.

However, all this began to break after the death of Anda Khan, and then he pulled Lik, and the third lady completely collapsed after the death of her.

The new Shunyi King Bu Shitu did not have the ability to balance Su Nang Taiji, but was driven to the northwest of Yinshan to grazing and eating sand.

Immediately afterwards, nearly 100 Mongolian tribes of Ordos, Hetaohe, Ordos, two tribes in Ordos, Ningxia began to constantly plunder the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, while Su Nang was greedy for mutual markets, and most of the Tumote tribes opposed the use of troops to the Ming Dynasty and continued to maintain tribute relations with the Ming Dynasty.

Because of this, the area around Datong and Xuanfu in the late Ming Dynasty was relatively peaceful, but Shaanxi and Hexi were invaded at all times.

Such invasion also led to the invasion of millions of people in Yanbian, four towns in the northwest, and it is also the reason why Shaanxi has such low risk resistance after suffering from severe drought...

But at the moment, everything is about to change, and the messengers of Huo Luo Chi gradually see the people in the distance.

"Stop! Who are you? Don't you know this is Su Nang Taiji's wrangling land?"

When hundreds of envoys from Huo Luochi entered Hetao, they were discovered by the soldiers of the Tumot tribe. The soldiers came forward to stop them, and Caritas Taiji, who was the envoy, also explained:

"We are from the Ordos tribe, and we came to pay special attention to Su Nang Taiji to discuss the Ming army's attempt to sweep the trap."

"Let's go." Hearing that it was Ordos's troops who came to worship, the troops let go, and at the same time monitored them to Banshengcheng, he sent a Tang cavalry to report to Banshengcheng one step ahead of time.

Caritas are used to such surveillance, but when they traveled more than fifty miles north, they saw a "busy" scene.

On the plain of the leisurely front cover, a group of Han people wearing Ming Dynasty blue pants and cotton coats were wandering slowly on the ridge of the field, and around them were hundreds of thousands of acres of fields covered with thin snow.

Such a vast field was difficult for the Mongols of Ordos to see, and all of this was all done by the Tumote tribe starting from Anda Khan for more than half a century.

They absorbed Han people fleeing from north Shanxi to reclaim fields, build cities, build canals, and smelter them.

At present, there are more than 300,000 Tumot tribes, of which the Han people account for nearly half of the population.

Caritas and others looked north along the fields. In the distance were towering Yinshan and Daqingshan, and in a few miles away, there were raised Banshengcheng.

This city, which was built by Altan Khan, was actually built by the White Lotus Sect who defected to Altan Khan and others to organize Han craftsmen to build.

During this period, the Ming army went out of the frontier to burn it, but it was soon built under the construction of Anda Khan. It was not until Altan granted the tribute to the Ming army.

This city is enough to accommodate 30,000 people, and most of the people who can enter it are the nobles of the Tumot tribe and their entourages.

Looking at the city, some people behind Caritas showed envious expressions, while Caritas's confidence in resisting the Ming army's sweeps after seeing the "strong army and strong horses" Tumote tribe increased a lot.

When they came to the gate of Bansheng City and saw the tents stationed for several miles on both sides of the gate, and the Tumot soldiers who sharpened their knives and fed horses outside the tents and erased the rust of the armor-stomached stomach, Caritas's confidence became even more intense.

He was not afraid that Su Nang would not see him, nor did Su Nang think that the Ming army would not attack Tumote's troops, nor was he afraid that Su Nang would make strict requirements on the Ordos troops.

The only thing he was afraid of was that Su Nang was old and lost the courage to maintain a long-term confrontation with the Ming army, and his vigilance against the Ming army's actions to sweep the sets.

Now it seems that Su Nan is still the one who dares to fight Bu Situ.

Thinking of this, Caritas calmly stepped into the palace of Bansheng City under the leadership of General Tumot.

The palace in Bansheng City was mainly directed by the White Lotus Sect, who was imitating the palaces of some vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty. However, after it was built, the specifications were not as good as those of the princes.

It is four hundred steps long and two hundred and eighty steps wide. There are three halls inside, the Wuying Hall on the left and right, Wenhua Hall, the inner court harem, and the imperial horse farm.

Even if such a county prince palace is placed among the many county princes in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty, it can only be called shabby, but it is the most prosperous palace in the south and north of the desert.

But at the moment, Caritas's attention is not on the palace, but on the person who symbolizes the throne...

He looked up and saw that sitting on the throne was a middle-aged man in his forties in his forties in his Mongolian Khan costume.

This person is the man with the most military forces on the Hetao grassland. Although he does not have the name of the Khan and the King of Shunyi, he has the reality of the Khan and the King of Shunyi.

"Old Caritas, the last time we met was twenty years ago, right?"

In the hall, more than 70 lords of various divisions and more than 30 generals from Su Nang headquarters gathered together. They watched and watched, while Su Nang was in the tone of the master.

Caritas, who had been prepared for this, was not angry, but knelt down and offered a gift:

"Khan, I came to worship you on behalf of Huo Luochi. I hope you can unite the Ordos tribe to fight against the Ming Dynasty that was trying to invade Hetao."

A word of sweat, Su Nang said so smoothly. Although he had the power and military power of the sweat, he always lacked the name.

It is precisely because he did not have the name of Tumote Khan and the name of Shunyi that he was very resentful of the Ming Dynasty in private.

"The Ming Dynasty sent troops to sweep the trap because you robbed Shaanxi. Besides, you haven't come to worship for many years. Now you just want to pull us into the water!"

Suddenly, a wise man stood up, and as soon as this man appeared, all the lords looked at him.

This person is Wulut, a fifth-road bauduertaiji, a tribe of Tumot, and is stationed in the grazing area a hundred miles north of Tianzhen, Shanxi.

It can be said that he is the closest lord of Tumot to the Ming Dynasty, and the reason why he stood up was because he had the best relationship with the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing him stand up, Caritas also mocked: "Badu'er, I remember that after I Dahan negotiated peace with the Ming court, you led troops to attack Shanxi, right? Why do you look like a Han people now?"

What the Ming Dynasty said was that in the 33rd year of Wanli, Wulu Baduer led his troops to attack Mingbian.

However, everyone who knows this knows that the first time Jau Du'er sent troops was mainly because the Ming Dynasty did not give him a New Year reward. After all, he was the Longhu General Canoned by the Ming Dynasty at that time.

Moreover, Wanli issued an order to scold him, and after giving the treasury a supplementary reward for the year, he also set up an altar to repent and returned it to all the people and animals of the Ming Dynasty.

Seven years ago, Su Nang summoned the lords of seventy-three tribes to force the Ming Dynasty to recognize his identity as King Shunyi, and it was also because of his opposition and mediation.

Since his Ulut troops occupied one-tenth of Tumot, under his efforts to maintain the peace agreement between Tumot and the Ming Dynasty was maintained, and Wanli also relied heavily on him.

Even though Wanli and Taichang died, after Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he still gave him a reward as usual, and he also worked hard to maintain the relationship between Tumote and the Ming Dynasty.

However, the situation has changed now, and the news of the King of Qi sending troops has long spread throughout the grassland. In the eyes of the lords of Tumote tribes, the five lords still protect the Ming Dynasty would be a little ignorant.

Therefore, when he said Du'er clearly, all the lords looked unhappy, and Caritas even smiled:

"I think you are Lao Hutu. The Ming court beat me to the two Ordos. Could it be for the Red Salt Pond and the Desert? Their real intention is the front and back condoms!"

"If we don't unite now, when the Ming army defeats us, Su Nang Khan can only lead the territory of Mote to fight with more than 100,000 Ming troops alone."

Caritas's words expressed the intentions of the Ming army, or Zhu Youjian's intentions.

However, his political mind is too simple. In Zhu Youjian's plan, the idea of ​​extinguishing the western desert at one time is not the ultimate strategy.

What he thought was to take down two Ordos in Ningxia and Hetao first, and then station troops in Juyanhai and Hongyanchi areas.

This is his first strategic goal.

The reason why he kept troops guarding against the front and back Tumote troops was because he made a second-hand preparation after the Ming army sent troops to prevent the Ming army from sending troops.

If Su Nang really sends troops, Zhu Youjian doesn't mind tearing down the peace agreement in advance, leading troops to drink Ma Yinshan, and recovering the front and back condoms.

But if he did not send troops, Zhu Youjian would use trade, economic control and deterrent methods to control Tumot like he did against Tuman and Kalaqin.

However, he was very sure that Su Nang would definitely send troops to help the two divisions of Ordos, and the Ming army could use Su Nang to tear up the peace agreement to send troops and recover the Hetao area south of Yinshan.

Such a method can be seen if it was Huang Taiji, Daishan, or even Nurhaci, but unfortunately, there is only one person with political vision in the Mongolian tribes at present, and this person is still the Grand Tutor in Weila (Wala).

For Su Nang, who even Lin Danhan could not play with, he could not smell such a political conspiracy at all. So after hearing Caritas's "very reasonable" words, he immediately stood up and said:

"Bao Du'er, let someone send a letter to Datong Killing Hukou, telling the so-called King of Qi that the Ordos tribe in Hetao and Ningxia are my tribes."

"From today, I will restrain them and stop military affairs in the northwest."

"If he still wants to maintain peace between the two countries, he must transfer six garrison troops from Saikou within one month!"

Su Nang's words are very strong, and he has the confidence, because he has more than 70,000 males under his command, including more than 40,000 strong men.

In other words, he could have mobilized these 40,000 cavalry to threaten the three towns of Taiyuan, Datong and Xuanfu in the Ming Dynasty.

These 40,000 people plus the two Ordos troops can reach 70,000 to 80,000.

With so many soldiers in control, Su Nang's ambition is growing, as if tomorrow he will surpass his grandfather, Anda Khan and become a person who is better than Dayan Khan.

However, his wildness had not yet grown for more than three breaths, and Jau Duer directly retorted:

"Su Nang, if we take the initiative to break up with the Ming army, the trade between us will be cancelled, and our three divisions will be at most 70,000 to 80,000 people, and we will not be able to defeat the 150,000 soldiers of the Ming Dynasty."

"Enough!" Su Can, who was sitting on the throne, suddenly clenched her fist and smashed her handrail aside, scolding:

"It is normal for the Ming army to lie about soldiers and horses. They always say that 150,000 soldiers and horses are only 50,000 at most."

"Now I use 80,000 people to hit him 50,000 people. Can I still beat Zhu Youjian's fifteen or sixteen-year-old doll?!"

"What do you think!" After saying that, Su Nang suddenly pointed at Ba Du'er, and the other lords in the hall immediately reacted and drew their swords and pointed at Ba Du'er.

“…”

For a moment, the hall was silent like death. The sword pointed at by the knife and several of his generals also drew out the swords, and the two sides were in a stalemate.

However, Su Nang calmed down after getting angry. He knew that if he killed or locked up, then Ba Du'er's sons would definitely take Ulut's troops to the Ming Dynasty.
To be continued...
