In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 15: Concerns of the Kashgar Tribe (please follow up)
"Mr. Liu, this matter should be done by the Chake Department."

"Chakbu?"

"Yes, they just moved here last year. They belong to the Chahar tribe. There are only about a hundred people. They are stationed fifty miles northwest of your caravan."

Kashgar nodded and explained that although the inquirers did not dare to get too close, there was a Chak tribe over there. If they did not do it, who else could do it?
"Yes, it should be them. Why didn't they come to trade? It turns out they wanted to rob!"

Manager Liu also remembered that there seemed to be very few enemies last night, so he stood up in a flash and gritted his teeth.

"That's right." Kashgar nodded more firmly,

As for a small tribe of only a hundred people, they robbed a Han caravan. He was not surprised at this, but he was impressed by Nachak's courage.

"Kashgar Clan Chief, the Nachak tribe only has a hundred people. Please send troops immediately to help me rescue the third son of my family. My Fan family will be very grateful afterwards."

Manager Liu immediately handed over his hands and begged.

"This...Mr. Liu doesn't know. Our Kashgar tribe has an alliance with Huang Taiji Khan. We are not allowed to attack other tribes without authorization. Anyone who violates this will be exterminated. So I can't help with this matter!"

Kashgar is in a bit of a dilemma.

Manager Liu had heard a little bit about the alliance between the Jurchen Great Khan Huang Taiji and various grassland ministries, and he frowned for a while.

But the difference between Han people and Mongolians is that they know how to be flexible, so he thought about it and said: "I think the Kashgar clan leader also knows about the relationship between my master and the Houjin Khan, and the third son is also the most respected by my master.

Otherwise, go in the name of my Fan family. The warriors in your department are only employed by my Fan family. Afterwards, I will ask my master to write a letter in person and explain clearly to the Emperor Taiji Khan.

After all, the Chake tribe was the first to plunder, and it was only natural for our Fan family to snatch back the supplies. I believe that Huang Taiji Khan would not say anything more. As long as the third son is fine, then all the people and livestock of the Chake tribe, including the looted How about all the materials and belongings of my Fan family belong to your department? "

"Okay! It's a word."

Kashgar's eyes suddenly lit up. Not to mention a small tribe of a hundred people, even their Kashgar tribe, in Huang Taiji Khan's eyes, was far from comparable to the Fan family.

If it is like Guanshi Liu, then not only will the Kashgar tribe not have to bear any risks, but they will also gain huge benefits.

Then he thought of something again and said with some embarrassment: "However, no matter how small this Chak Tribe is, it used to belong to the Chahar Tribe. There were more than 2 Chahar Tribes who moved here last year. There are seven large and small tribes nearby. There are more than [-] people in this tribe. I’m afraid they won’t just watch us attack the Chake tribe.

In particular, Chatu, the old chief of the Chatu tribe, used to be Lin Dan Khan's confidant. He has a high prestige among the Chahar tribe and will never sit idly by. "

Manager Liu frowned again. He also knew something about the complex situation of the Mongolian tribes in this area.

To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than Huang Taiji, splitting the two large tribes and mixing them together to check and balance each other.

After pondering for a while, he finally had to say: "That's it, I'll go to the Chatu tribe again to explain it. I believe the Chatu chief will understand. If he still wants to stop it, I will go back and report it to the master immediately. I personally wrote a letter to the Emperor Tai Chi Khan that I, the Shanxi merchant, will no longer do business with the Chahar tribe in the Liaohe area."

"So much the better."

Kashi nodded, he wished that the Chahar tribe and Shanxi merchants would be at odds with each other.

As the safety of the third young master was at stake, Manager Liu did not dare to delay. He borrowed a carriage and rushed to the Chatu tribe with his guards overnight.

The straight-line distance between the Chatu tribe and the Kashgar tribe was 150 miles. Manager Liu was riding in a carriage, so he didn't arrive until the afternoon of the next day.

The Chatu tribe is much smaller than the Kashgar tribe, with a population of only more than [-] people. They also had a transaction with the Fan family a few days ago, so the clan leader Chatu is also very enthusiastic.

But after Manager Liu explained his purpose, he opened his mouth in shock and said with some suspicion: "Mr. Liu, is there any misunderstanding about this matter? I still know the leader of the Chake tribe, and he will never do such a thing. Kind of stupid."

"Chief of the Chatu clan, whether it's the axle print or the horse hoof print, they all went to the Chak tribe. There were very few people who attacked us that night, not even more than 30 people, and the Chak tribe never came to trade. Don’t they need tea, salt, and food?” “This…”

Facing Manager Liu's questioning, Chatu was at a loss for words for a moment. In fact, he already believed that Chake did it, and he was cursing in his heart. Chake was as stupid as a pig. How could he do such a thing?You can't leave such obvious traces if you want to do it?

However, it was impossible to just let the Kashgar tribe destroy the Chake tribe, so he said: "Mr. Liu, let's do this. I will go to the Chake tribe with you personally. If they really did it, I will definitely let them How about releasing your third son, returning all supplies and livestock, and asking them to apologize to you?"

"Okay, then I'll trouble you, Chief Chatu. I'll thank you very much afterwards!"

At this moment, Manager Liu also calmed down. It would be great if he could get the supplies and the young master back without any bloodshed. After all, if the delay continued, he would still be worried about the young master's safety.

With this old Chatu taking action, with his prestige within the Chahar tribe, the Chahar tribe would not dare not hand over the young master and supplies to compensate for their losses.

It was already getting late, so early the next morning, Chatu led a few warriors and Manager Liu and his party towards the Chake tribe in the northwest.

Chatu is almost fifty this year. As one of the last remaining veterans of the Chahar tribe, one of his shortcomings is that he is conceited and likes to show off his seniority.

In his opinion, as soon as he arrives in the Chake tribe, the people of the Chake tribe will definitely obey his arrangements.

But he didn't know that the Chak tribe had been wiped out as early as last winter, and the territory had already been occupied by a group of uninvited guests. Therefore, the group of people were ambushed when they passed by the hillside before they even got close to the river.

A dozen arrows suddenly flew towards them. Chatu and several Mongolians reacted quickly and immediately hid in stirrups.

But Manager Liu and several guards did not have the same ability and reaction as them. Two guards were shot and fell down.

Manager Liu was also hit by an arrow in the shoulder. The pain made him howl like ghosts and wolves. He immediately turned his horse's head and fled. The remaining two guards were also frightened and hurriedly followed.

Several Mongolians did not flee immediately. Chatu shouted at the top of his lungs, "Don't shoot arrows. I am Chatu." But he was answered by another shower of arrows.

Moreover, this time the arrows were obviously coming from the horses. Several people once again hid in the stirrups to avoid the arrows, but the horses under their crotches were hit and went crazy. Fortunately, several people were riding horses, so they immediately jumped on the other side. A war horse.

"Clan leader, the people in the Chake tribe are crazy, we should retreat first!"

"go!"

Although Chatu was half-dead with anger, he also knew that a good man would not suffer any immediate losses, so he had no choice but to flee.

"Brother Lin, do you want to chase me?"

On the hillside, everyone stood up with crossbows in hand.

"Forget it, these Tatars are indeed a people on horseback. Although they are sixty or seventy steps away, so many of us shot two rounds of arrows, and only two of them were left."

Lin Rui waved his hand and said with a gloomy expression.

Then he ordered people to see if the two people who had been hit by arrows and fell to the ground were dead.

"Brother Lin, he has already expired. He is not a Tatar. He seems to be a guard of the Fan family."

"Oh?"

They were too far away just now, and everyone didn't really see it clearly. They just thought it was a Tatar. After hearing this, Lin Rui immediately killed him.
