In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 327 Everyone is getting rich

To the north of Guihua, there is still a grassland at the foot of the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain, but the environment is a bit harsh. Last autumn, [-] to [-] people from the Zasak tribe temporarily lived here.

No matter how bad the environment was, Luzada and other tribesmen would not dare to enter the Hetao without permission from China, let alone plunder.

Fortunately, the officials in Guihua City did not prohibit them from trading with Han merchants in the city, and they survived the winter.

Originally, Luzada thought that because of the sneak attack on Horqin's tribe together, and because of the friendship between himself and Lin Rui who had fought side by side, Luzada thought that China would be happy to accept their submission and let them live in the Hetao.

This is also the reason why he chose to move south with his tribe without hesitation after he was defeated in the war with the Chechen tribe last year and his father died in the battle.

The Hetao is rich in water and grass, and is backed by the Han people. He even fantasizes about recuperating in the Hetao for a few years. After the tribe develops and grows, he will fight back to Mobei, completely annex the Chechen tribe, and dominate Mobei.

However, what Luzada and the leaders never expected was that although Brother Hua accepted their submission, the conditions he offered were so harsh.

Not only did the Great Khan and his family have to go to Beijing as hostages, but they also had to be relocated to the West Sea. Everyone has heard about the West Sea. Although the water and grass there are relatively abundant, due to climate reasons, human and animal reproduction is very slow. It is not comparable to the Hetao. of.

If other tribesmen and leaders could barely accept going to the West Sea, then Ruzada, who had just succeeded the Great Khan, could not accept it under any circumstances.

Because once he goes to Beijing, it means that he has lost control of the Zhasak tribe. In addition, all the tribesmen have been moved to the West Sea. I am afraid that he will never be able to return to the grassland and fight back to Mobei in this life.

But if he disagrees, there is really no way out now. At this time, Ruzada already regrets coming to Hetao. If he had known this, he might as well have fought with the Chechen tribe, or moved to Moxi.

At this moment, in the sweat tent, everyone's expressions changed drastically when they faced Ha Qi's ultimatum and heard that Emperor Lin Rui's concubine had personally arrived at Guihua with an army.

"Brother Hutch, can't you, for the sake of your Majesty and I fighting side by side, give our Zasak tribe a way to survive?"

Ruzada refused to give up and said with a hint of pleading in her tone.

"Ruzada, His Majesty invited you to Beijing to enjoy the blessings just for the sake of the original. You don't want to be toasted or eaten as a penalty. As for breaking up the Zhasak tribe and placing them in the West Sea, it's not against you. , but this is the case for all tribes that submit to China."

Hutch shook his head, and then explained without any doubt.

"But..." I don't doubt whether going to Beijing will bring happiness to Luzada, but I am really unwilling to give up the power in my hands like this.

"Stop it, give me a happy word if you agree or not. My sister doesn't have any friendship with you, and I don't have much patience. If you agree, that's fine. If you don't agree, huh, once my sister takes action, you may even go there. Beijing’s chances are gone.”

Hutch interrupted impatiently, and then directly threatened.

Sure enough, all the leaders were immediately frightened, and they all looked at Rudaza and began to persuade him.

After all, China only allowed Ruzada, the Great Khan, to go to Beijing. When they arrived at the West Sea, they could still become the emperor of the country, so no one wanted to die with Ruzada.

For the sake of the lives of the [-] to [-] people of the Zhasak Tribe, no one can care whether the Great Khan and his family go to Beijing whether they live or die.

As for starting a war with China and conquering Hetao, no one had even thought about it. Not to mention the Han troops stationed in the Hetao area, even the Mongols in the Hetao area alone would not be able to win.

So there was no choice but to agree to Hua's conditions.

Ruzada's fists clenched loudly and his face turned red. However, looking at all the leaders in the tent, he knew that he had been ruthlessly abandoned by them. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only nod in agreement with a decadent look on his face.Haqi then laughed with satisfaction and asked Luzada to clean up and take his family to follow him to naturalize tomorrow, and other leaders, big and small, would also follow.

Three days later, everyone arrived at Guihua City and met Ha Beier, the imperial concubine, in the palace hall.

Habeier also took out the canonization decree that Lin Rui had given her, conferring Luzada the title of Earl of Dahua and a staff officer of the General Staff Department of the Metropolitan Government. He and his family will go to Beijing to take up the post that day.

The remaining more than 20 leaders were also canonized as barons and viscounts one by one, and could be hereditary. Five days later, they moved with their respective tribes along the northern foot of Yinshan Mountain to the West Sea. The food and grass needed on the way were provided by the court.

This made more than 20 leaders sigh with relief. If China did not provide food, they would not be able to migrate at all.

Next, Habeer ordered people to escort the Ruzada family to Beijing, and then sent more than 20 Han officials and hundreds of Mongolian cavalry to follow the leaders of the Zasak tribe back to supervise their migration.

As for the required food and grass, Wuyuan and Ningxia Prefecture will naturally be responsible for it.

After finishing these tasks, the 2 Mongolian cavalry recruited also arrived one after another. This time, almost none of the leaders of the tribes came, and half of the [-] people were knights.

Thanks to the fair transactions between tribes and Han merchants under the auspices of the royal family in recent years, the living environment of each tribe has been greatly improved, they have become richer, and their sense of belonging to China has become stronger and stronger. .

Especially the knights in the tribe, although their lives are not as good as those of the leaders, they are far better than ordinary herdsmen.

No, there are ten thousand knights, each with three horses, a set of three-layer leather armor inlaid with breastplates and rivets, two bows, three pots of arrows, two scimitars, one long and one short, plus There are a lot of items to carry, such as sleeping bags, water bladders, etc.

Some even brought their newly grown sons as assistants, and they also wanted their sons to gain experience.

Therefore, the actual number of people far exceeds [-]. Hubbell does not care about this. However, only real knights and recruited warriors from various tribes have military pay, and they can also receive gifts after the war. As for those brought by the knights, At most, the assistant will be guaranteed food, and there will be no pension if he dies.

After all, they were private soldiers of the knights, and China had already stipulated that knights could hire an assistant to assist them in battle.

"Mei, just let me go with you!"

"You bastard, how many times have I told you to call me empress."

Seeing that his son was neither old nor young, Chatu quickly scolded him, but in his heart he complained that the Han people's rules were too strict.

"Yes, yes, look at my memory, please forgive me..."

"Abba, it's okay. In private, husbands usually don't care about these false courtesy." Habeier quickly waved her hands. She also found it awkward for her brother and father to call her mother.

The father and son looked at the female officers and soldiers on the side who were responsible for recording, and opened their mouths, still a little nervous.

In the end, under Hutch's pleading, Hubbell had no choice but to take him with him. Three days later, the army headed north in a mighty manner.

Although there were 500 four-wheeled chariots that could carry supplies and food, Hubbell still recruited [-] carts and [-] reserves from Guihua and Wuyuan's Tuntian Guards to accompany the army.

After all, after several years of development, the Tuntian Guards in the two places are no longer the poor people they were at the beginning. Instead, under the leadership of a group of ladies and with a high degree of autonomy, their living standards have surpassed the common people in any prosperous age in ancient times.
