A new tribe appeared in this place, and its leader was called Nairenbaat'er, which was the name of a hero on the grassland.
It's just that this hero has been missing for ten years, and now he has returned as king, returning to the grassland again in an astonishing manner.
After the nobles of the Baiyin tribe fled, Ansanxi directly merged the two tribes and moved them all to the dock.
Relying on water transportation from Zunhua, we began to build fortresses.
After the two tribes merged, Ansanxi reorganized themselves into eleven thousand households and re-armed 3,600 tribal cavalry.
Yang Fan sent them cavalry breastplates made with water-powered forging hammers, equipped with sabers and nine-shot guns.
It is basically equivalent to the equipment level of the French dragoons in the 18th century.
The newly formed cavalry regiment and 3,600 cavalry soldiers were also transported here. This is Yang Fan's real core strength.
Because there is no shortage of horses here, as long as the people and equipment arrive, you can start to form cavalry.
The members of the cavalry squad have become squadron leaders, each leading a hundred soldiers. The general flag and small flag below are all veterans transferred from the regiment training. As long as the soldiers in the early regiment training have not been killed or disabled in battle, they are basically
They all became officers.
With soldiers in hand, An Sanxi attacked from all sides, focusing on the three guards of Duoyan who had been scattered. Since they had split into thirty-six families, they were all weak.
Most small tribes cannot defeat An Sanxi.
This month, Ansanxi annexed more than a dozen small tribes.
Taiji and the herdsmen all fled and went to Haraqin Taiji, begging Haraqin Taiji to make the decision for them.
They heard that Haraqin Taiji and Nairen Bat'er were enemies. Taiji's younger brother was captured by the demon Nairen Bat'er, and before he was released, he offered a price of 3,000 war horses. It was impossible to negotiate this price.
of.
Now Ansanxi has a population of more than 30,000. This place is already a big tribe.
Without Taiji, herdsmen and nobles, all property will be jointly owned by the herdsmen.
The quality of life of herdsmen has improved dramatically. In our imagination, herdsmen all eat meat, but the reality is that ordinary herdsmen have no meat to eat at all.
Not to mention slaves.
Cattle and sheep are equivalent to deposits in the bank, and dairy products are the interest.
You can also think of cattle and sheep as fields, and dairy products as crops.
If you eat the field, what will you eat next?
What ordinary herders eat is dairy products, plus some collected wild fruits, mushrooms, and wild vegetables. They go fishing and hunting in their spare time to supplement their food.
In addition, they will also plant some food, but they do not have the agricultural technology of the Central Plains. They usually plant the seeds in the ground in the spring, and harvest as much as they can when they return from nomadism in the fall.
They are the ones who truly rely on heaven for their livelihood.
They farmed by poking small holes in the ground with wooden sticks, scattering seeds, and stamping them flat with their feet.
Although they do not lack cattle, they do not know how to plow the land, nor do they fertilize or weed, let alone irrigate, and they have no one to guard them. If they are eaten by wild animals, they will have to consider themselves unlucky.
The streams on the grassland are full of big fish, but they can neither fish nor weave fishing nets, nor can they even build dams to drain the water. People on the grassland rarely eat fish.
Generations of them have been displaced like this, struggling to survive.
In spring, you can hunt mice and marmots, in summer, you can hunt swans and pheasants, in autumn, you can hunt deer and roe deer, and in winter, you can hunt wolves for gazelles.
Although wild animals are very common on the grassland, because they have to graze, they can only hunt in their free time, and they often come back empty-handed. Therefore, fishing and hunting are not reliable. If you point to this, the whole family will starve to death.
Catching prey is not necessarily a good thing. These animals have various viruses and even plague.
Therefore, most of the herdsmen have sallow faces and thin skin, their yurts are in tatters, the women and boys are not fully clothed, and many of the boys are naked until they are teenagers.
It's worth killing dozens of people just for a piece of iron pot.
The vast majority of poor people can only boil food in leather bags with water. Salt is also a rare commodity, let alone tea.
There is meat to eat, salt to eat, tea to drink, and kumiss to drink. It is the proper treatment of a noble lord.
Due to the Ming Dynasty's blockade policy, supplies were extremely scarce. Cloth was scarce on the grasslands. The felt fur could not withstand the summer heat, making it miserable. Mosquitoes were extremely powerful. It was absolutely uncomfortable to be shirtless. Even if you pooped, you would have to stop.
Swing your butt, otherwise the mosquitoes will make you doubt your life in just a few minutes.
Just as the maritime ban policy benefited the gentry in the southeast, the blockade policy along the Great Wall benefited Shanxi merchants and generals in important towns on the nine sides, as well as civil servants and eunuchs who supervised the army.
They all participated in smuggling, selling very cheap things in the mainland at sky-high prices on the grasslands. Sea bans and border bans actually only banned common people and ordinary businessmen, and were no different to the privileged class.
According to historical records, Mongolian herdsmen could kill a sheep only during festivals, and it was still shared among several families.
The situation where you can eat a lot of meat is usually during the White Disaster, when a large number of cattle and sheep freeze to death. Or the thin cattle and sheep cannot survive the winter, so they have no choice but to kill them for meat.
Maybe if there is meat to eat this winter, the whole family will starve to death the next year.
Ever since Genghis Khan, herdsmen and slaves have had no means of production on the grasslands. They can only survive by relying on princes, tycoons, herd owners, and military officers. They themselves, their wives, daughters, and children are the private property of their masters, as well as their cattle and sheep.
There is no difference.
An Sanxi's policy, like the creation of the world, allowed the sun to shine on these people at the bottom for the first time. An Sanxi's words were so inspiring.
"Why do those who graze have no meat to eat, while those who don't work can just sit back and enjoy the harvest?"
"Why do those who fight give most of the spoils to those who don't fight? The brave ones should enjoy the most."
"Why are you just slaves and herdsmen, but they can be so superior?"
An Sanxi killed the nobles and herdsmen, confiscated their cattle, sheep, and women, and distributed them to the herdsmen and slaves who followed him.
Changed the system on the grassland for thousands of years.
Ansanxi established a livestock team for every 100 households to collectively occupy property and distribute it according to work, while also taking care of the care of the elderly, weak, women, children, and young children.
If everyone is equal, those who are capable can be officials, those who can fight can be soldiers, and they will enjoy more material distribution.
All this greatly inspired the enthusiasm of the herdsmen and slaves. The slaves regained their freedom, arranged their jobs, had their own felt bags and property, and their loyalty to the leader greatly increased.
Even if those Taiji and herd masters come back now, no one will be willing to follow them.
An Sanxi gathered them together and began to build a fort beside the dock.
An Sanxi understood that although he held the title of a Mongolian hero, he had touched the cheese of all the grassland nobles.
He set up these methods of beating local tycoons, dividing cattle and sheep, establishing production teams, and developing collective economy. It was like digging up the ancestral graves of these nobles. It made them almost crazy with hatred.
Rumors and songs began to spread on the grassland.
Both shepherds and slaves were singing songs: "Sheep herders eat mice, cattle herders eat grass roots. Where are the cattle and sheep? They have all been eaten by the masters. If you want to live a good life, go to Zhe
Go away, he will give you a felt bag and a wife, cattle and sheep, grain, strong wine and iron tools. Go and join Jebe and leave these vampires."
The wind carries the message of spring to all directions, until the end of the sky.
The whole grassland was filled with people's hearts, and the nobles were going crazy. They tried their best to beat the people who spread the songs with whips, but they could not stop the spread of the songs.
Now the pier by the river has been built with cement and can accommodate more than ten boats at the same time.
A cement fort is being built next to the pier.
They used stones and cement blasted from mountains thirty miles away.
If Yang Fan were here, he would be surprised to find that this half-built building is clearly in the shape of the Bastille.
An Sanxi took a fancy to the Bastille at a glance among the various fortress plans sent by Yaoguang messengers.
The Bastille covers an area of about 2,670 square meters and has eight towers about one meter high. The towers are connected by a 24-meter-high and 3-meter-wide city wall. The city wall is also equipped with 15 heavy cannons.
The castle is surrounded by a trench 26 meters wide and 8 meters deep, with only a suspension bridge connected to the outside world.
What An Sanxi values is its sturdiness and tallness.
The tower is ten stories high and the city wall is eight stories high.
This is extremely shocking when there are only low felt buildings on the grassland.
An Sanxi wanted to imitate the way the imperial palace used its main hall to intimidate the people, and use a building with a strong visual impact to mentally suppress the grassland.
The Bastille looks extremely evil and gloomy. At the same time, its building materials give people an extremely solid and stable feeling, making people want to worship and obey it unconsciously.
Thirty thousand tribal people worked in three shifts, working day and night to build this building with the help of refugees sent by Yang Fan. The entire construction site was brightly lit at night.
An Sanxi knew that if he did this, the Mongolian nobles would unite to fight against him, a heinous and rebellious bastard who dug up their ancestral graves.
He must repair this impregnable castle as soon as possible. This is a nail wedged deeply into the grassland. It is a bridgehead and the forward base for Master Shi to conquer the grassland.
Yang Fan plans to transport a total of 10,000 families to settle on the grasslands, completely changing the population structure here. Both sides of these rivers can be cultivated and planted with crops, but the Mongolians do not know how to farm.
At present, 3,000 families and about 10,000 refugees have been transported here. Together with the tribal people, they are participating in the construction of fortresses, docks, and residential buildings.
After the construction is completed, Yang Fan will allocate land to them so that they can settle down.
In the future, herdsmen will herd cattle and sheep, and farmers will farm. Yang Fan will transport various commodities from the waterway. This place will develop into a town on the grassland.
Became a trading center for the interior and grasslands.
The low cost, large volume, and high efficiency of water transportation cannot be compared with the Shanxi merchants' camel team. Yang Fan is ready to rob the Shanxi merchants of all their business and let them squat in the corner and cry.
These people were all bad guys. They smuggled iron tools and supplies into the grassland, sold the stolen goods that the Jian slaves had entered and robbed, and transported grain, gunpowder and firearms to the Jian slaves. They were purely a group of traitorous merchants.
In the Qing Dynasty, they all became emperors and merchants, and their descendants were prosperous and wealthy, but this resulted in China being completely left behind by the West.
Yang Fan's goods are cheap, large in quantity and complete in variety. With the trade base here, who would buy goods from Shanxi merchants?
The most valuable thing on the grassland is the iron pot. When An Sanxi arrived on the grassland, he traded a horse for a large iron pot with a diameter of one meter.
The Mongolians were stunned and could hardly believe their ears.
When they saw someone actually getting the exchange, they all went crazy. They drove their horses in groups to exchange them. The evil-minded Shanxi merchants dared to ask for five horses with just a small iron pot.
This shows how iron-deficient Mongolia is.
The translated word Temujin actually means blacksmith.
The Mongolian name of Emperor Shun of the Yuan Dynasty is "四尔吉jin·Tuohuan Timur", which is a transliteration. Tuohuan (Tuohuan) means pot in Mongolian, and the word "Timur (Timur)",
It means iron. When the two words are put together, doesn’t it mean an iron pot?
On the grassland, one iron pot can be exchanged for three wives.
If there were no war horses, women could be exchanged for them. An Sanxi then gave each of his men a wife. Now the spread of the song became even more powerful.
"My brother, don't herd sheep for Master Taiji anymore. Go and join Zhebie. If you go, he will give you a wife."
An Sanxi was wearing a safety helmet on the scaffolding today to inspect the construction status of his Bastille. He saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and a large group of people were heading this way.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Soon, the alarm bell sounded on a completed tower. The migrant workers who were working immediately jumped off the scaffolding and went to get armor and weapons.
Five thousand households nearby also sent more than a thousand cavalry to meet them.
An Sanxi was not worried about enemy raids. These people were carrying family documents and driving cattle and sheep. It was obvious that they were not here to fight. He had a lot of troops.
Huang San has 3,600 infantry, and he has 3,600 cavalry in training. There are also 3,600 tribal Mongolian cavalry. The 3,000 new immigrants also have 3,000 strong men who can fight. Plus the water transportation group
As for the personnel here, he has nearly 15,000 men ready to fight, so he has nothing to worry about.
Mu Qinglu looked at the castle being built in the distance and took a breath of air. He looked at Tubman and said, "Are you sure our Naren Battle is there?"
Tubman nodded and said: "That's right, he is there. He built that castle. We, the prince's former guards and Na Ke'er, were all trained by him. Now he obeys the princess and builds the castle."
We should all come to him and serve the princess together. How can we stand up to others under the hands of those shameless and treacherous Taiji."
There are many Mongolians with the word donkey in their names, especially in the Yuan Dynasty. It may be related to transliteration. There were many names called donkey in the Yuan Dynasty.
Open the piles of history books.
The Privy Council official bought a donkey, the left prime minister of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces was a black donkey, the Anlu magistrate was an ugly donkey, the Henan provincial governor was Hong Chou donkey, the Shaobao Pingzhang Zhang donkey was bitten by the donkey, and Duke Huan Guo found the donkey, Ganzhou
The guard general is a donkey. There are also pigs and dogs: Wanhu Shimo dogs, filial son Ning pigs and dogs in the early Yuan Dynasty, etc.
"I've seen it. It's him, Nai Renbaat'er, our farewell back then. He's here, and he's here to greet us." Mu Qinglu said excitedly.
At the beginning, Prince Turgut had three thousand soldiers under his command, all of whom were hand-selected and trained by Narenbaat'er. Nairenbaat'er was a Han slave that the prince begged from a prodigal, and the prince was very kind to him.
He also grew up here and became the best archer in the grassland.
The farewell of the tribe of Torgut.
After Lin Dan Khan's Western Expedition and the death of the prince, these thirty centurions were divided up by the Taiji. Now they heard that after their Zhebie returned to the grassland, they followed the prince's youngest daughter and established their own tribe.
I came to seek refuge with my family papers.
An Sanxi is an expert archer with keen eyesight.
When he saw the thirty sturdy centurions opposite, his eyes were moist. These were his brothers, and he had been away from them for too long.
