In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 212: They all learned bad things from the Han people

After seven or eight days of traveling, more than 1000 retired Tumut knights headed west along the Yellow River and finally arrived at Wuyuan. After saying goodbye, everyone took their women and trophies and went their separate ways.

Each person has three war horses, one war horse carries grain, cloth and other supplies, and one war horse carries women, and they all carry two Jurchen women, one large and one small.

As these people returned to their tribes, more than a dozen Tumut tribes in the entire Wuyuan area became lively.

Especially the families of the knights cried with joy when they saw that their sons who had left had not only grown taller, but also brought back so many supplies, horses and women.

"Mutuo, my child, you are finally back, let me see..."

"Abba, Ama, how have you been doing these past two years?"

"I haven't seen you in two years, and my sister has grown so tall."

"Do you see what I brought back?"

Mu Tuo also excitedly hugged his parents, brothers and sisters one by one, and then he couldn't wait to take out a small bag of salt, a large bag of grain and a piece of silver from his horse.

"Hiss! Mutuo, are these rewards given to you by the Han leader?"

Muto's parents and a group of younger brothers and sisters also stepped forward to check. At this time, the entire station was constantly screaming, and everyone gathered around the hundreds of knights who had just returned to ask questions.

Just as the knights were preparing to move their belongings into the tent with their families after showing off their trophies to the tribe, the leader of the tribe, Tumur, spoke.

"I announce that our Tu'er tribe will hold the most grand bonfire banquet tonight to welcome our warriors who have returned from the war. They are all the most outstanding warriors of our Tu'er tribe... Well, but everyone in the tribe also knows the rules. Half of the loot must be handed over, so..."

Originally, the hundreds of knights were quite happy to hear this, but when they heard that the leader asked them to hand over half of the loot, they all immediately went crazy.

"Impossible. These trophies are all earned through our hard work. They are all our own property and will not be handed over to anyone."

"Yes, we are knights conferred by the king himself, and our property is protected by Chinese military law."

"It's impossible for us to hand over our property!"

"Mutuo, you have to understand that this is not the country of China. You have returned to the tribe, and you must abide by the rules of the tribe!"

Tumur's face also darkened, and he said in a stern tone. The other senior officials and elders also had very ugly expressions.

"This rule is unfair. Why should our hard-earned property be distributed to people like you who are not engaged in production?"

"Yes, this bullshit rule needs to be changed. Why do we work so hard every day herding cows and sheep, and we are exhausted, but you are hiding in a comfortable tent, not only enjoying the service of women, but also eating better than us, What’s the point?”

"You are oppressing!"

Hundreds of knights roared in anger. They didn't feel it before, but now after listening to the commander's explanation, they just felt that none of the rules in this tribe were fair.

Hearing them shouting such words, Tumur and all the elders were shocked, and thousands of clan members were also stunned, looking in disbelief.

"Audacious, do you know what you are talking about? Do you want to rebel?"

After reacting, Tumu immediately shouted loudly, and all his subordinates drew their swords and surrounded hundreds of knights and their families.

More tribesmen stepped aside, not knowing what to do.

"Mutuo, please admit your mistake to the leader and pay half of it. This is the rule..."

Muto's parents immediately became anxious and quickly pulled him to persuade him. The families of other knights also persuaded their sons not to go against the leader.

But Mu Tuo and the other hundreds of knights were like bastards eating weights, showing no fear in the face of the two to three hundred warriors surrounding them.

Instead, he threatened Tumur and the elders loudly: "Chief, elders, we are all knights canonized by the Chinese Kingdom. Anyone who dares to kill us is the enemy of the entire Chinese Kingdom. If you dare to touch us today, In less than five days, my king will lead his army to flatten the entire tribe. If you don’t believe it, you can give it a try!”

As Muto spoke, he also drew out the scimitar from his waist, and the remaining knights also followed suit.

Suddenly the entire tribe was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

"What should I do, Abba? Muto and the others have gone crazy..."

Tumur and a group of elders then remembered that the Chinese envoys had indeed gone to various tribes a few days ago to inform each tribe that their knights were protected by Chinese military law and that no one or their family's property could be infringed. Violators would be punished. Will be retaliated by the Chinese army.

Thinking of this, Tumur's face turned blue and purple, but in the end he did not dare to take action. He waved his hand and asked the warriors to put away their knives and retreat. Then he said to Mu Tuo and others: "From today on, you are no longer We, the people of the Tu'er tribe, take your families and things and leave the tribe immediately!"

Apparently Tumur planned to expel these disobedient people.

"If you don't want to leave, why should we leave? We own the cattle and sheep pastures and everything in the tribe. If they want to drive us away, there is no way!"

"Yes, if you want to leave, you can leave. Why are you driving us away?"

Hundreds of knights immediately waved their scimitars and roared.

"You... you... pfft..."

Tumur and the elders were so angry that they were still trembling when they saw that they were still hanging around. An older elder was so angry that he spurted blood from his mouth and passed out.

Everyone immediately let out a burst of exclamation. The scene was chaotic for a while, and eventually there was a lot of noise. Tumur and a group of elders could only watch as hundreds of knights took their families and things back to their tents. The others Then they dispersed, but everyone was psychologically shocked.

In the next two days, the elders talked to the knights one by one, using both soft and hard tactics to make them surrender and maintain their dignity.

It's a pity that these knights who have been brainwashed by Lin Rui are no longer the Mongolian teenagers they used to be. Not only do they not have enough money and salt, they also make nonsense in the tribe every day, win over people, and threaten to divide the pastures, cattle, sheep, and property. From now on, everyone will work alone. .

For a time, people in the tribe were in panic, chickens and dogs were restless, and they no longer had the heart to graze.

This is almost the case for all the tribes in the Wuyuan area. All the vested interests and rulers are overwhelmed by the returning knights. They can't drive them away, but they dare not move. If they are left alone, sooner or later, people's hearts will be dispersed. , not to mention how frustrating it is.After all, the tribe that was wiped out by the Lin family army was still fresh in their minds, and now they had been warned in advance. If they really touched those so-called knights, with the ferocity of the Han family Lang and Na Mu Zhong, the results can be imagined. .

And as more and more people in each tribe were attracted by the knights, and they became more and more unstoppable, the leaders of each tribe finally couldn't sit still.

After some discussion, I decided to go to Naturalization in person to talk to Lin Rui and Na Muzhong and ask them to take care of these so-called knights. If they don't, don't blame them.

.........

"Queen Khan, what do you think this is?"

"Those knights went too far. They even said that we were oppressing them. They also tried to persuade the tribesmen to divide the tribe's cattle and sheep pastures and to go it alone. How can there be such rules on the grassland? Isn't this nonsense?"

"Yes, yes, if this continues, our entire Mongolia will be in chaos from now on."

As soon as more than a dozen leaders were brought into the big tent, they poured bitter water on Namuzhong. They all said that their faces were red and their necks were rough. It was obvious that they had been tortured a lot these days.

Namuzhong, however, was sitting at the top with the presence of the old god, as if he was listening to their chatter attentively, but in his heart, he secretly thought that Rui Lang was really insidious, and he actually transferred the tricks of the Han people to the Mongolian tribe.

It wasn't until everyone stopped and looked at him that Namuzhong asked: "Everyone, what do you want?"

"Queen Khan, either you take all those people away, or let them obey the tribe's rules honestly from now on."

Tumul gritted his teeth and said, and everyone else nodded.

"I'm afraid this won't work. Those knights have retired, and China can't restrain their behavior now. There is no war now, so there is no need to recruit them back to fight. Moreover, this is an internal matter within your tribe. You should go back and discuss the solution. It is inconvenient for our country, China, to interfere!"

Na Muzhong shook her head and said patiently in an official tone. Apparently, she had also started to learn bad things like Lin Rui and learned the tricks of the Han people.

"So, if we go back and kill those people, the Queen Khan and the State of China will not care about it?"

"You dare to think that, let alone killing them, even giving them a beating would be a provocation to our country, China!
So I want to warn you, don't do stupid things. The knights canonized by our country are protected by military law. This is not just a word, but there are more than [-] troops standing behind them! "

Na Muzhong said that she slapped the case hard at the end.

"Also, there will be no queen from now on, only the eldest princess!"

Everyone could feel the unquestionable and murderous intent in her tone, and they fell silent for a moment.

By this time, everyone understood that these knights were the Han family's conspiracy to make them surrender. Only the Han people could come up with such an insidious idea.

After thinking about it, Tumur also sighed, raised his head and asked: "Queen Khan, if we also join the Chinese Kingdom, can we punish those disobedient knights?"

"No, no matter whether you join the Chinese Kingdom or not, the families and properties of those knights are protected by the Chinese military law. However, your title is higher than theirs, and they usually have to listen to you, as long as they do not infringe on their property. They also have to abide by the rules of the tribe and their personal safety. If they violate it, you can report it and the Metropolitan Government will naturally punish them."

Seeing that they finally understood, Namuzhong's tone immediately softened and she explained with a smile.

Everyone's scalps were numbed by her sudden change of attitude, and they secretly thought that Han Hou had really been led astray by the Han family man. It was really scary.

"We need to know what we need to abide by once we join China? Will our interests be infringed?"

Everyone stopped talking and asked directly.

Although they are reluctant, they also know that if they don't join, the knights will probably rebel directly when they return. With the warriors they have attracted recently, it is really hard to say in the end.

The key is that even if they suppress the rebels, China will take the opportunity to send troops, and they will be destroyed no matter what.

"In addition to ensuring the interests of the knights, the tribes do not need to pay tribute and taxes as before and will do in the future. The only requirement is that when a war breaks out, they must answer the call and lead the warriors to fight!"

After everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, except for those knights who were a bit disgusting, their conditions were similar to those of the Jurchens.

At worst, we can recruit those knights from now on and give them some rights. Anyway, there will only be a hundred or ten of them.

But when Na Mu Zhong asked them all to move to the front, they all immediately went crazy.

"After Khan, it's not that we don't want to move, but where is the spare pasture in this front set?"

"Yes, the pasture here has been divided up long ago. If we move here, we can only go to the north of Yinshan Mountain or near the Great Wall to graze. Isn't this going to force us to death?"

"Everyone, this is such a big place in front of you. Let alone you, even the tribes to the east of you can move here. It will be enough for all tribes to graze and inhabit!"

Namu Zhongpendu waved her hands and said, "The front cover is not as good as Mobei. Not to mention the Tumut people who have moved here are only 20. Even 40 or [-] can support them."

"But Queen Khan, won't the tribe in Qiantao divide our pasture?"

"Yes, which tribe is willing to share their pastures with other tribes?"

"After Khan, how about we carve out a space in Wuyuan and let the Han people go to farm? Do you think it's okay?"

Everyone tried to discuss it, but Na Mu Zhong shook his head without any doubt.

"No, from now on the entire Wuyuan area will be used for farming. Herding is too wasteful. As long as you are willing to relocate, each tribe will not only compensate you with a thousand stones of food every year for five years, but also reward you with a thousand girls. As for the front condom The tribes all give you pasture, wouldn’t you grab it?”

"This……"

Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up. Yes, with the support of the Hua Kingdom, they could completely annex the tribes in front of them. After realizing it, everyone was very excited, and there was no trace of reluctance.

Seeing that they all understood, Namuzhong reported it to Lin Rui, and Lin Rui didn't hesitate and directly named the leaders of ten tribes as viscounts and the leaders of two tribes as earls, and then asked them to go back and prepare before winter. , must be moved to the front.
