Looking around, there is not much difference between Hetao and the counties in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. There are dense irrigation ditches and fertile fields that stretch thousands of miles, and there is no end at all. Occasionally, there are people riding horses passing by on the official road. They do not shave their heads, but Ming-style clothes.

These people are all Ming and Han people.

Not only were they riding horses, they also had double-barrel muskets inserted in the cowhide holster next to the saddle!

The Han people who prepare guns and knives.

The scene in front of him made Oboi stunned.

These Ming people are the people, and they are clearly... a group of strong men with weapons will transform into soldiers.

"Lord Ao doesn't know anything,"

Perhaps seeing Oboi's expression change, Ding Kegong said.

"These Han people all brought muskets to defend themselves when they came out of seclusion, so we have no restrictions on this."

"No restrictions? I'm not afraid of them..."

Lowering his words, Oboi asked.

"I'm afraid they will be in trouble."

"It's okay? It probably won't be possible. Besides, I don't know that this is what the prince means. In the prince's words, as long as these Han people can bring the gun out of the custody, we can bring the gun over. After all, the guns of Ming Kingdom are much better than ours..."

Ding Kegong's explanation made Oboi stunned. He didn't expect that it was the reason.

In fact, the reason why Dorgon did not restrict the Ming people from carrying weapons was to obtain weapons from the Ming Dynasty. It was precisely because Ming people immigrated to the Ming Dynasty brought a large number of weapons out of seclusion that the gun merchants from the Ming Dynasty came here openly to do business. As for muskets and gunpowder to whom did they sell them? I'm afraid only the old genius knew.

"As for the chaos, I'm afraid I don't know. These wise people are smart. Every household has our hundreds of acres of land, and each income is hundreds of taels of silver. How comfortable it is to live this life. Who would have nothing to do? In fact, it is also good for us. We can collect a hundred thousand taels of land rent from here a year!"

Ding Kegong, a slave, was stunned by Oboi. No matter what, he never expected that the Ming people and the Qing Dynasty were so harmonious on the side of the prince.

Perhaps, this is the biggest difference between the prince and the emperor!

Perhaps, the Ming people really forgot that the prince was the prince of the Qing Dynasty.

forget?

If they really forgot, how could they get here?

This Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is too scrupulous!

Hold revenge!

Looking at this seemingly peaceful and prosperous place, Oboi's mood suddenly became a little heavy. When Ding Kegong saw it, he hurriedly fell silent, thinking in his heart that this scene must have touched his sad things again.

A few days later, Obai and his group left Hetao.

After leaving Hetao and heading west, only a day later, the road to the Western Regions is the desert, Hanhai and the Gobi wasteland along the way.

Looking around, there is an endless sea of ​​sand between the sky and the earth, which is a region full of unknowns. However, such a desolate scene means safety for many people. The thousands of miles of desert and the Gobi Desert are enough to make everyone feel a certain safety.

This kind of security is brought about by this desert that is thousands of miles away. In "Mongolia", many people think that the Ming Dynasty will not come for the time being because of this desert. The vast sea of ​​thousands of miles brings people a unique sense of security, but how long can this sense of security last?

At this time, although it was far away from the Hetao, which was full of Ming immigration, and that land belonged to "Mongolia" in name, it actually belonged to Ming people. In Obai's view, as long as the Ming people immigrated, they could seize Hetao at any time and turn it into Ming land.

That is, this desolate desert belongs to the Qing Dynasty, uh, no, it belongs to Mongolia.

He now understood that the reason why Dorgon survived over the years was because he carefully did not use the term "Qing Dynasty", but "Mongolia". Over time, only "Mongolia" remained in the eyes of the Ming people.

What is the difference between Mongolian, Jurchens...?

It's just a name!

When Obai and others were full of thoughts there, Tong Shizhang looked at the desert with great enthusiasm.

Wherever you see, there is an endless sea of ​​yellow sand rising and falling, and towering sand dunes one by one, with no end, like a million troops blocking their advance.

When Jiannu fought in the west, how did they pass through this desert?

Tong Shizhang thought to himself.

This is exactly what he needs to figure out. Compared with the Ming Dynasty and even the Jurchens, the Mongols knew this place better. After all, they had passed this desert countless times, and they knew this desert better and how the army should pass through it.

After understanding all this, he will send the information back to the country, and then the Governor's Office of the Five Army will formulate corresponding plans. By that time, thousands of Ming troops will regain the Western Regions through this vast sea...

While imagining all this, Tong Shizhang's eyes turned into the distance. At the intersection of the desert and the sky, he seemed to see a city.

Is that the legendary mirage?

Maybe it’s the phantom of the ancient city of Loulan!

The Ming Dynasty was unfamiliar with the Western Regions. Since the Tang Dynasty, the Han people have never really ruled that land in the past thousand years. However, stories about Loulan, Buddhist countries in the Western Regions, and Western Regions are filled with historical books...

Perhaps, the 36 countries of the Western Regions, Wusun, Kucha, Yanqi, Ruoqiang, and Loulan... have long been destroyed in the long river of history, and even Buddhist temples have disappeared there, and even here have undergone racial changes and religious changes. However, it does not prevent the Ming people from being full of various fantasies about the Western Regions. After all, the Western Regions represent a certain kind of glory to some extent, and the glory of the Han civilization.

Perhaps, the Ming Dynasty adopted Yunnan as a land of China, but it never really owned the Western Regions, but the Western Regions were definitely a powerful Central Plains dynasty that must be conquered.

After all, for Han men, the Western Regions were full of fantasies. "The curly haired beard girl had green eyes, and the tall buildings were blowing bamboos in the quiet night." Without the Western Regions, the blue-eyed beard girl was.

"The Kaiyuan prosperous era has long been separated. After a thousand years, I looked at the western land. It turned out that Hu Ji was still there. Do you know, do you know? The blue eyes are still soft."

He was muttering about Hu Ji, who symbolized the prosperous era, and Tong Shizhang silently recited this song "Ru Meng Ling: It turns out that Hu Ji is still the same as them. Perhaps the Song people are all in the Western Regions and have the worries of Hu Ji...

This kind of revelation has been around for thousands of years, and now, I finally see hope again!

hope……

With a chuckle in his heart, Tong Shizhang looked into the distance, and suddenly a gust of wind blew from the desert sea changed the sky and the wind blew.

The yellow sand covers the clouds and the sun is covered, and the strong wind seems to carry the sword lights and swords that are thousands of years ago...

I am coming!
