Chapter 182 Controversy with the Third Lady

"The enemy serves horses, and the horse serves grass..."

"There is a high autumn and the horse is fat, and the Hu'er likes it... Therefore, we should prepare the way of the enemy, be careful of the beacon and bright fire, and firm walls and clear the fields!"

The so-called burning of wasteland means that when the border towns are in the clear and cool autumn or in winter, each leads troops out of the frontier to burn the wasteland and grass to prevent the invasion of nomadic peoples on the grassland. If the enemy appears, they will be killed by cameras.

The burning of wasteland along the border began during the Yongle period, and by the Xuande period, it became a common practice for border defense forces. Generally, they went out of winter and returned in spring every year, rested for a month, and were still practicing in the teaching ground. After the Zhengtong period, the burning of wasteland began when the grass and trees were withered in October. By the Wanli period, even if the military affairs of the towns along the border were smooth, it was a common practice to burn wasteland every year.

Everyone who heard Huang Laifu's claim to lead the army out of the frontier to burn the wasteland was strange. It was not September yet, so was it a little too early to go out to burn the wasteland? However, everyone was confused but didn't take it much to heart.

Huang Laifu led a five hundred standard army, one man and three horses, from Ningwu to Shenchi Fort, to Laoying Fort, and all the way out of the blockage. After crossing the Qingshui River, the border style was full of the border style, with the grassland green, horses neighing, and pastoral songs lingering. Although like the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, the northern grassland was affected by natural disasters, and the greenness was much less than before, and many rivers were even more dry, but when they first saw the grassland scenery, they still made everyone fresh.

The lion's flag fluttered in the wind, and a group of iron cavalry rolled forward. Although they were the private messengers of the San Niangzi in the team, Huang Laifu was still very careful when walking outside the border. He scattered his horse and dispersed in groups to detect the surrounding area twenty miles.

It is nearly 900 miles from Ningwu Pass to Guihua, and from the side wall of Shuiquanying to Guihua, it is about 400 miles. After walking for a few days, I have passed Chier Mountain and not far from Guihua City. When I arrived at Yunchuan again, I suddenly saw the horses in front of me shaking the small yellow flag and a large group of Mongolian cavalry came over, with a number of about 2,000 people.

Huang Laifu ordered to be on guard. Soon, another horse was found to be repaid, saying that the Mongolian cavalry came from Guihua City to welcome Huang Laifu and others under the order of the third lady. Huang Laifu shouted: "Okay, welcome, boys, come out your spirit."

The soldiers responded with a loud bang, and the sound of slapping the horses and headed towards the Mongolian cavalry rolling in front of them.

Gu Dadao followed Yang Xiaolu, accompanied by Huang Laifu's central army, looking around excitedly, as if he was full of energy. He shouted: "What a pity, it's not that the enemy cavalry came, otherwise he could have a big kill!"

Huang Laifu could understand and laughed and scolded: "Boy, you want to fight, there are some wars for you to fight in the future!"

Everyone laughed, and Gu Dadao touched his head embarrassedly.

Soon, the Mongolian cavalry came to his eyes, leading a relative of Sanniangzi. Sanniangzi originally had 10,000 personal guards, and this time he selected the strongest two thousand people to demonstrate to Huang Laifu.

Unexpectedly, the smoke and dust rolled across the street, the sound of hooves was like thunder, and countless yellow-shaped flags appeared and appeared. The momentum was really amazing. The third lady was secretly surprised. When the Ming army came to the front and saw that the people in the crowd took a neat breath of air conditioning.

In front of him, each of the Ming cavalry was wearing iron armor. It can be seen that the armor was well-made. The soldiers were tall and burly, with muscles and full of arrogance and strength after the bloody battle. Even the war horses under them were all good horses, and one person was equipped with several horses. Although there were hundreds of people on the opposite side, the momentum was far more than the two thousand people on their side.

For a moment, Mengren was a little stunned, and he could not compare his aura with the other party. Compared with equipment, the opponent was a soldier's armor, and only the commander of a thousand men was qualified to be equipped. Compared with horses, each of the opponent's three horses would not be inferior to that of the opponent. Especially the murderous aura of the opponent's overall bloody battle was no more than that of the two thousand people on his side.

At this time, the Mongolian army understood why Huang Laifu's reputation was so great on the grassland. Seeing that his subordinates were a little shrinking, the relative sighed. He was shown that this demonstration failed. It was really a failure. He thought to himself: "I heard for a long time that Huang Laifu's soldiers are strong and powerful. He is a famous general in the Ming Dynasty. As expected!"

He knew some Chinese language, and immediately bowed his fists and said loudly in stiff Chinese: "The last one is Mrs. Zhongshun's personal general, Meiergan, who is here to welcome the General Huang Junmen of the Celestial Dynasty under the order of his wife!"

Huang Laifu also shouted loudly: "With General Mergan, Madam, I have the intention!"

Mergan glanced at the soldiers behind Huang Laifu for the last time and shouted: "Huang Junmen, please!"

As he said that, he was leading the way, and the group rolled away.

In the afternoon, everyone came to the Heihe River, and Huang Laifu suddenly felt familiar. He saw pieces of fields spread along the river, and there were many earth and stone houses next to the fields. Many people dressed in Mongolians were busy on the fields, doing the same things as farmers in the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for the Mongolians grazing cattle and sheep on some grasslands next to them, Huang Laifu would have thought this was a prefecture and county in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty.

However, looking at their work efficiency in the fields and their working tools, Huang Laifu couldn't help but shake his head. The level was too low. If he was allowed to operate this land, the profits he had obtained would be ten times or a hundred times that of theirs.

Huang Laifu and others arrived, which attracted the shocking and fearful eyes of these people. When will the Ming army come outside the Great Wall? And so elites are afraid of people. Fortunately, there are two thousand Mongolian troops accompanying these Ming people, which makes everyone panic, but they are just talking in surprise. Many bare-butt children are still running behind the army.

After crossing the river, along the way to Guihua City, some tents and houses were scattered from time to time, forming small villages. The Mongolians in these villages either farm, livestock, sort out meat, milk, fur, etc., and sheep are called horses and neighing around each village.

Huang Laifu saw that every village was dirty, garbage everywhere, and roads were bumpy. Except for some tribe leaders and nobles, most of the Mongolians were dressed in rags and their leather robes seemed to have not been changed for many years. Their oily hair was as messy as a chicken coop, and their dirty hair was so dirty that it could not be distinguished from their original color. Many people had pale faces, their faces were pale and thin, and their faces were numb.

Especially many Mongolian children, barefoot, their lower pants were rotten like brooms, or they ran around naked, or were held in their arms by sisters who were not much older than them, and they bit their fingernails together and looked at the passing army.

Seeing all this, Huang Laifu couldn't help but shake his head, it was too poor. If many people in Shanxi Town were so poor that they made people cry, the Mongolians outside the border were so poor that they made people cry. It's a pity that such a fertile land cannot make the local population rich and waste resources.

After walking for more than ten miles, I saw a blue city wall from afar, and a city tower with a special style on the city wall, but I arrived in the city.

Guihua City has always been said to be "catching the city". Temples and temples of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, Islamism and other religions are everywhere inside and outside the city, with dozens of temples, especially Lama's summoning the temple.

The inner city of Guihua City is the residence of royal palaces and nobles. Generally, Mongolian people are scattered around the outer city and the city walls, especially the area outside the south gate. Because of this, many merchants occupy land on both sides of the outer avenue of the south gate, rent or build houses and open buying and selling items, making this area quite lively, mostly traded with various livestock and fur.

When they saw Huang Laifu's army and horses, the Mongolians inside and outside the city all came forward to watch curiously and pointed at everyone in awe. Compared with the Mongolians in the villages outside the city, the Mongolians living in this area would have a better life.

After the news of the cavalry, San Niangzi and others had already received the news of Huang Laifu's arrival. In order to show their sincerity, they personally led the heads of the tribes of the Motte tribe out of the south gate to greet them. When they saw Huang Laifu's elite 500 iron armored cavalry outside the city, everyone took a secret breath. No wonder Huang Laifu is famous in the grassland, and he really has such capital.

When both sides greeted each other, Huang Laifu's official position was shorter than that of the third lady. He immediately bowed to the third lady and said, "Huang Laifu, the general of Shanxi Town, Xiaguan, has met Mrs. Zhongshun. I have heard of Mrs. Zhongshun's name for him for a long time. I have been lucky enough to meet him today!"

The third lady was very fluent in Chinese, and she said, "You are polite to Huang Junmen. You are tired of your hard work, thank you all the way!"

The two looked at each other. When the third lady saw Huang Laifu wearing armor, she was just a heroic general of the Ming Dynasty. She was not as fierce as the legendary one, with three heads and six arms. Seeing that he was so young, she couldn't help but secretly amazement. She was so young that she was so young that she was afraid that it was the first time she had seen such a young general.

Huang Laifu also looked at the third lady and saw that she was wearing a Ming official uniform. Perhaps because of her good maintenance, her face was white and tender, not as red as the ordinary Mongolian women on their faces, round and rich. She didn't have any slut when walking, and she couldn't smell any scent of sheep. According to historical materials, she should be over forty this year, but she is still pretty, with a half-mural and charm.

After the two of them met, the third lady briefly introduced the tribe leaders behind Huang Laifu. Seeing that these people were staring at him, Huang Laifu also met them casually, and even if they were finished, it would be over.

Most of Huang Laifu's military horses remained outside the city. He only brought more than ten people including Yang Xiaolu, Gu Dadao and others into the city with Sanniang. His courage also made everyone secretly admire him. When they entered the city, the hawking of vendors came one after another, and there was a very lively scene. The leaders of all tribes behind Sanniang were all very beautiful, but Huang Laifu disagreed. This kind of prosperity was really ordinary compared to many prefectures and counties in the mainland of Ming Dynasty.

The third lady also asked Huang Laifu with a smile: "Huang Junmen, what do you think of my city?"

Huang Laifu said: "It's not bad, but if Mrs. Zhongshun cooperates with Xiaguan, Guihua City will be more lively in the future!"

The third lady smiled and looked at Huang Laifu and stopped talking.

Everyone entered the hall of the royal palace in the inner city. Huang Laifu saw that the hall was simple and elegant, which was very different from the nomadic arrangements he had in his impression, so he couldn't help but be surprised.

After the guest and host were separated, the third lady ordered the maid to offer tea to Huang Laifu. Huang Laifu took it and saw that it was the best Yandang Longqiu tea, and even thought to himself: "The three lady is very different from other Mongolians!"

The only ones who used tea cups to drink Longqiu tea in the hall were Huang Laifu and San Niangzi, and the other tribe leaders all drank milk tea in big bowls.

The third lady put down the teacup and smiled at Huang Laifu and said, "It's hard for Huang Junmen to come from afar. The servant prepares this tea, but he still keeps his mouth closed? How can you feel good when you come outside the border?"

Huang Laifu said: "Madam, you are so polite. This is the best Yandang Longqiu tea. Laifu is rare to drink even in the Ming Dynasty!"

He looked around everyone and smiled and said, "After coming, I felt the charm of the grassland and the enthusiasm of my Mongolian friends, Lai Fu's trip is worth it!"

Everyone stared at their eyes, and only the third lady giggled and said, "Huang Junmen, you are so good at speaking, no wonder you can be favored by the emperor." I thought that Huang Laifu looked like a martial artist, but he was very smart and could not be looked at.

Seeing Huang Laifu chatting and laughing with the third lady, he slowly savored the fragrant tea and looked leisurely. Wanhu Tutdi of Luboluo's tribe couldn't help it. He suddenly slapped the bowl on the table next to him and said loudly in stiff Chinese: "Huang Junmen, I Tutdi want to ask for something. I heard that the generals of the Ming Dynasty were just training troops in their own territory and could go out of the subway to the subway. I wonder if the Han people kept moving outside the subway during these days. Is it because Huang Junmen did something privately or the emperor of the Ming Dynasty?"

Huang Laifu looked at him. This guy was so rude, so he didn't have to be polite to him. He said lightly: "It's normal for people to go out to the subway farm. Who needs to agree? The land is empty, so they can go to farm. If they don't farm, can you farm? It's not good to waste."

Tutdi was stunned. He was a rough man, so how could he argue Huang Laifu? In addition, he was not good at Chinese and stuttered, and he couldn't speak. Seeing this situation, the leader of the Nuoyanwu tribe, Da Yancha suddenly stood up and shouted: "The places in this area are originally owned by our Altan tribe. If you go out of the frontier, you will invade our territory, and you are wrong!"

Huang Laifu sneered: "Just, who said that the land outside the border belongs to you? But there is evidence of division. Emperor Taizu Gao once set up Fengzhou and guarded Daqingshan and other places. I also want to say that even the area of ​​Guihua City is owned by my Ming Dynasty."

It was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the clan leaders of the Altan tribe present jumped up one after another.

"Huang Laifu, are you unreasonable?"

"Huang Laifu, you are fighting against our Great Mongolian Warriors!"

Da Yancha even pointed at Huang Laifu and shouted angrily: "Hangou, do you want to start a war with us?"

Huang Laifu's face darkened, and with a "bang!", he slapped the table next to him. He pointed at the nose of Da Yancha and shouted: "Bastard, you dead Tartar, what the hell are you saying? If you want to start a war, I, Huang Laifu, will accompany you! But I can tell you clearly that the Mongols under Wuzhaibao City and Shigou, Ningxia, will be your role models at that time."

Yang Xiaolu and Gu Dadao also jumped out quickly and drew their swords to guard Huang Laifu. Especially Gu Dadao, his eyes were quite excited.

Seeing Huang Laifu like this, everyone was stunned on the spot. It was the first time that the general of Ming Dynasty, such as Huang Laifu, had seen him. He was mighty and could not be threatened and was not threatened. He suddenly didn't know what to do.

The third lady kept watching coldly, and at this time she shouted: "Rareless, how can you be so rude to Huang Junmen? This is the way we grassland people treat guests? Let me go."

The patriarchs of a cadre sat down in disappointment. The third lady smiled and said, "Huang Junmen, his subordinates are rude and rude, please don't be surprised! This time I invited the Junmen to come, and I sincerely invited them to solve relevant matters outside the border, so that the Han and Mongolian areas can remain calm and friendly."

Huang Laifu also smiled and said, "They are people of temperament. How could I blame them? The friendship between the Han and Mongolian peoples has a long history. If they are united, they will benefit from each other, and if they fight, they will lose each other. This time, our army came here with sincerity."

The two sat down in a harmonious manner again, and the third lady asked, "I dare to ask Huang Junmen that the Han people keep going out of the frontier. This is also a fact. Many tribal patriarchs are worried about whether the Han people will steal their pastures by then. I wonder what Huang Junmen thinks about this?"

Huang Laifu smiled and said, "According to what Xiaguan said, the concerns of the patriarchs of each tribe are really worrying about the heavens. The wife also said that everyone was just worried about whether the Han people would steal their pastures by then. However, the wife also knew that the Han people were good at farming and the Mongolian people were good at grazing, so the two would not conflict at all! There is a lot of land outside the border, but most of them were deserted. What's wrong with farming and utilization? The Meng people would also benefit the same way."

The third lady pondered.

Huang Laifu continued: "When Xiaguan came to Guihua City, he also passed by the Daheihe area. To be honest, the land output of such fertile land is so weak that it is obvious that people are not good at farming."

He said: "So Xiaguan has an idea. In fact, the wife can cooperate with our Shanxi Town, so that everyone can benefit each other!"
