Chapter 932: Discussion on the King's Treasure

Go out of Xifengkou and go out of the frontier. Walk about 300 miles northwest to the northwest to Duolun. The so-called "the most abundant place for the water and grass on the ten thousand miles of grassland". As for the tribes on the grassland, they all say that this is "the place where the great bodhisattvas dew is sprinkled."

Every July is the best time in Doron. Whenever you stand on a hill and look around, you will see endless green, as if you are covered with a large green blanket on the ground.

Moreover, Doron has an advantage. The terrain is close to the basin and is high around it to block the wind and snow. It can also rest well in winter. The water and grass are abundant. The cattle, sheep and livestock are particularly fertile in this place. There is sufficient water source. You can also reclaim fields and plant crops.

The grassland is thousands of miles long, and the area that is truly suitable for long-term farming is the Tumochuan and Hetao areas of the Altan tribe, and the other one is this Doron.

There are more than 10,000 Han farmers in Duolun and almost the same number of pedigrees and other pedigrees farmers farming. This is not because of the special nature of this place, but because Jizhen and Liaozhen have always been very strong. The combat power of the Korqin tribe is not very strong among the major tribes on the grassland. The plundering of people has never been effective. In desperation, they can only find people from all the tribes outside the walls of Liaozhen, and recruit and plunder the Han people in pieces.

In the past, the herdsmen leisurely drove cattle and sheep to herd, the nobles drank and had fun all day long, or rode horses to hunt among the white mountains and black waters in the east, which was a relaxing and comfortable time, but this year was different. There were 4,000 cavalry stationed in the tent of King Khan of Khan, and a tense and solemn atmosphere permeated the grassland.

The Korqin tribe mobilized all the Korqin tribes, and in the east, from Duolun to the nèn River, all the tribes of all sizes were headed by the Korqin tribe. Including the men summoned from the alliance, up to 60,000 combat soldiers could be mobilized. Of course, it is hard to say how strong the combat power is.

Compared with this number, four thousand cavalry is nothing, but this season is the busiest time. Cattle, sheep and horses need to be employed to grazle and raise. The so-called cavalry are all young and strong herders, and these herders are the main laborers in their homes. At this time, they should be busy at home.

In previous years, Korqin Khan had at most more than a thousand cavalry guards, and half or even half of these more than a thousand cavalrymen took their families and their livestock to take turns to grazing.

If you are not busy at this time and do not have enough livestock in winter, the whole family will be frozen and hungry in winter. If the entire tribe does not invest enough labor to produce at this time, the tribe's strength will also weaken, affecting the wealth and power of the nobles.

However, this year, I couldn't take care of anything because the pressure from Guihua City was getting stronger and stronger, and I had to maintain enough strength to deal with it at the Duolun Base Camp.

Korqin Khan Weng Guodai had long been no longer interested in hunting and traveling. If it were in the past, this season he would have led his personal guards to the Jurchen tribes outside the walls of Liao Town to loot, plunder the population, and make arbitrary. This is his so-called "hunting".

"Is it because I disrespect Gods and Buddhas, why can my father and grandfather enjoy the wealth and women of the Han people for generations? When I come to me, the situation is so bad."

Weng Guodai sat upright on the blanket and said with a gloomy face. The weather was clear and the sun was just right. The roof of the big tent was rolled up to let the sunlight shine in.

"Da Khan, don't say that. This matter has nothing to do with gods and Buddhas. Altan is also called a living Buddha by other monks. Isn't it because the Han people who are greedy for money are too hateful. They occupied Tumochuan and fell in love with the fertile and rich Doron. However, these things should be caused by Wang Tong. Dahan, I have an idea, can you use gold and silver to bribe the eunuchs and ministers in the Han people's capital and let Wang Tong..."

"Manggus, if the Han people came to Ben Khan with gold and silver and said bad things about you, would Ben Khan listen to those Han people or believe you!"

Korqin Khan Weng Guodai glared at the person who was making a comment and said hatred. The man sitting on his left quickly bowed. The other Taiji nobles in the tent dared not interrupt. This Mangus grew up with Weng Guodai and was Weng Guodai's companion since childhood. He now has tens of thousands of households and is responsible for commanding the elite troops of the Korqin tribe.

Mangus was not very scheming, but he was able to fight on the battlefield. Recently, he heard that he had invited monks from the Western Regions to worship at home. These monks from the Western Regions knew about knowledge and writing. They were all treated as think tanks by the nobles of the Sect. I think the words just now came from this.

After scolding Mangus, Korqin Khan's face was still gloomy, and he shook his head there and said:

"If the cavalry of each unit is recruited at this time, it will inevitably be greatly damaged. But if you don't move, just watch the Han people pressing forward step by step, the ending will be the same. If you fight, there will be big trouble in winter. Chahar discusses with the Han people, but stares at our population and territory. Now he has no idea. If he fights or doesn't fight, he will just die early and die late. Can't he just wait here?"

Korqin Khan became more and more angry at the end of his speech. He picked up the silver bowl in front of him and threw it out. Fortunately, there was a thick blanket on the ground, which had no effect.

However, all the nobles in the tent were all lying on the ground and did not dare to speak. A white-bearded Taiji, who was sitting in the lower head of Weng Gu, was wearing a purple satin robe and gold ornaments, which looked extremely noble. He leaned on the ground for a while and looked up and said:

"Great Khan, don't walk towards him when the blizzard comes, avoid it. The blizzard will eventually stop. The old people say something makes sense. Khan must think carefully!"

Korqin Khan pondered there for a while, still shook his head with a gloomy face, and spoke there:

"We can also take out a hundred thousand troops to fight to the decisive battle. The Han merchants' guards can gather up to 30,000 at most. Why should we leave? If we defeat them, we can even take down Guihua City, just like the Altan tribe..."

"Khan, there are enemies to the west and enemies to the south. If the Xuanfu and Jizhen of the Ming Dynasty sent troops like they did in the past few years, we would be immediately attacked from both sides, and even the place of the king's tent might not be able to be saved. And if Wang Tong led his troops out, his military strength would be far greater than us."

The white-bearded nobleman said that his waist and back became straighter. The nobles in the tent all looked cautious. Korqin Khan Weng Guodai's expression changed, but in the end he shook his head there and breathed out:

"Without this Doron, Korqin would not be Korqin..."

"The Khan, there are Khan, the Khan's loyal cavalry and herdsmen, and there are Korqin there. If Khan defends here, there will be no one, and Korqin will be gone."

The white-bearded nobleman raised his voice a little, and the great gift was kneeling on the ground, and the king's tent was quiet. Although the tribe lived with water and plants, people and animals needed water to survive. The total number of men, women, young and old in the Korchin tribe was nearly over 100,000, and they lived here for several generations. How could they say they could leave? Leaving a fundamental place like Dolun, what is the difference between it and the loss of Guihua City and Tumochuan in the Altan tribe?

Not to mention, if we cannot resist the oppression of the naturalized Han merchant group, if large tribes like the Korqin tribe migrate, some dependent forces will be centrifuged. If we really want to migrate, the Korqin tribe itself may have died.

However, no matter whether everyone is willing to admit it or not, in a few years, Ming Guo seemed to have suddenly changed. The huge but clumsy and cowardly fat sheep suddenly turned into a bloodthirsty and ferocious hungry tiger. There was bloody there, where would this hungry tiger pounce?

The Korqin tribe has not received news from the west of Guihua City for a long time, and it is vaguely known that the tribe there has been forced to leave, robbed, or become a vassal. Now it seems that such a fate is about to come to the Korqin tribe. Faced with the armed forces of the merchant group, the Korqin tribe still has a chance of winning.

But there is one thing that everyone is unwilling to mention. Who knows whether this is the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's War against Korqin. If the war begins now, the Korqin tribe has no chance of winning.

After the silence, everyone's faces became ugly. The gloom on Korqin Khan's face went a little, and she sighed and said:

"The enemy is in the west, the desert is in the north, the Ming Kingdom is in the south, and the east... aren't you fighting in the east?"

After saying this, the atmosphere of the tent fell a little further. Weng Guodai gritted his teeth and reached out to grab his sword. Just as he was about to say a few passionate words, someone whispered:

"Khan, the Ming army in Liaozhen pursued and suppressed the Jianzhou Jurchens, but it was not a real fight at all. It was just a story of chasing the story. On the contrary, some Jurchens who were not Jianzhou were wiped out. Now many people over there have been surrendering to Jianzhou..."

Speaking of this, how could a noble man in the tent not understand? Several people immediately sneered and said disdainfully:

"If the rabbit is caught, the falcon will be useless, and the Han people over there will also understand this."

"Isn't this saying..."

The Mangus said in confusion, and the tent became quiet again.

After walking two days and one night after a small settlement of Mantaoer, Mantaoer, thirty miles east of the land, there is a turquoise in which 2,500 soldiers from the Korqin tribe are stationed, and there are two nearby tribes assisted, with a total of about 4,000 males.

After passing this earthen encirclement, you have to pass through the remnants of the Yanshan Mountains, and then there is the real eastern grassland. However, the reason why you station heavy troops in this earthen encirclement is not because it is a gateway here. In fact, if you have to take a detour, it is only two more days to go.
