In the late Ming Dynasty, rising from the grassland

Chapter 77 Snowballing

"Husband, this small tribe is now called Chajiaka tribe, with a population of more than 400. Their clan leader should have gone to Liaodong, but I recognize many people in the tribe and have a good relationship with some of them."

Hubbell began to point at the map and introduce it to Lin Rui. Apparently, he knew more about Bina Mu Zhong, the various ministries in Chahar in the south. After all, they moved here together the year before last.

At that time, Na Muzhong was still lingering in the Hetao area.

However, more than 30 tribes in the south, with more than 6000 people, were originally subordinates of Namu Zhong.

"Well, that's it, Belle, you take people over to inform them first, saying that Queen Khan has brought many gifts to visit them, so as not to scare them and directly ask other tribes for help."

Lin Rui did not lead the army directly to the small tribe, but stopped a few dozen miles away to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Okay, husband, Sister Namuzhong, I'm leaving."

"Well, let's go!"

Namu Zhong also smiled and waved.

Hubbell got on his horse and galloped away with a dozen girls.

In half an hour, they arrived near the Chaluka tribe. Since Habeier and the others only had a dozen people, the tribe only sent out a dozen riders. After a short conversation, Beier and the others were welcomed in. tribe.

"Belle, why did you come to the south?"

As soon as he entered the tribe, a strong Mongolian man greeted him in surprise.

"Qi Zhi, long time no see. Where is your father, has he gone to Liaodong too?" Ha Beier also said hello with a smile and asked.

"Yes, many of the tribal leaders here have gone, and your father must have gone too, right?"

"So, you are in charge of your tribe now?"

"Ha ha…"

The Mongolian man smiled honestly, welcomed Hubbell into the tent, and ordered a cup of milk tea.

"Belle, are you here to have fun this time, or is there something else?"

"Qi Zhi, actually I came here with Queen Khan this time. She asked me to come here first to inform you that she is coming to visit you..." Hubbell said directly after drinking the milk tea.

"what?"

"Belle, you're not kidding me, are you? The Queen is actually coming to visit us?"

"No, didn't you say that Queen Khan cooperated with a group of Han people there? Could it be that you also...?"

Qi Zhi stood up in shock, and then looked at Ha Beier with a suspicious face. Apparently, the fact that Na Muzhong was rescued by a group of Han people had been spread throughout the entire Chahar tribe in the Liaohe area by Chatu and others. .

"That's right, Qizhi, I also joined Queen Khan's team." Hubbell nodded.

"Then...when will Queen Khan come?" After digesting it for a while, Qizhi became a little excited and looked forward to it.

After all, she was the queen of their Chahar tribe, and she was said to be the wisest and most beautiful woman on the grassland. He had only seen her from a distance a few times before, but now she was coming to visit them. How could he not be excited?
"It's just dozens of miles away. I'm going to send someone to report to Queen Khan right now. You should hurry up and gather your clansmen to prepare for the reception. Queen Khan has brought you a lot of gifts!"

"Okay, I'll go right away..." Qiu ran out of the tent with excitement on his face and hurriedly gathered his clan members.

Not long after, the entire tribe became excited. The young people who had never seen Namu Zhong were looking forward to it. Although the elders were also a little excited, there was more or less worry on their faces.Obviously they want to think more, knowing that the entire Chahar tribe has now surrendered to the Jurchens, and they are worried that the arrival of the Khan Queen will arouse the suspicion of the Jurchens and bring disaster to the tribe.

But no matter what, half an hour later, Lin Rui and Na Muzhong came with more than 6000 horses.

This kind of momentum really startled the people in the tribe, but fortunately they were prepared in their hearts, knowing that it was the Khan who came to see them, not the enemy.

"Great Queen Khan, I would like to express my most sincere respect to you!"

Qizhao came to Namu Zhong's horse and knelt down on one knee.

The more than 400 tribesmen behind him also knelt down on one knee and saluted.

"Qi Zhi, you are a brave warrior of our Chahar tribe. I have heard about it. Get up and I accept your tribute!"

"And my Chahar clan members and warriors, on behalf of the Golden Family, I accept your tribute. Get up!"

Namuzhong did not dismount and behaved in a friendly and friendly manner, but maintained a high and mysterious posture.

But these Mongolians really do this, especially Qi Zhi. It was exciting to hear that Na Muzhong praised him as a brave warrior and recognized him.

The other young guys were not much different, and they all looked at Namu Zhong with excitement.

But Na Muzhong still followed the script and gave a passionate speech, and then rewarded the prepared salt tea leaves, two pieces of silk and three pieces of cotton cloth.

The atmosphere immediately became more heated. Young and enthusiastic boys and girls rushed to join, wanting to follow the Khan and fight to revive the glory of the Chahar tribe.

The parents of those young girls naturally don't want their children to take risks, but Qizhi, the temporary patriarch, is eager to join, so how can anyone else stop him?

Facing the 2000-strong army brought by Queen Khan, who dares to stop it?

This time, Lin Rui even accepted the girls. As long as they are over 14 years old, under 20 years old, and have no children, men and women can join. In the end, they recruited a full 72, almost all the boys and girls in the tribe who met the conditions. Catch them all.

In addition to some of these boys and girls who really want to join, there are also a small number of people who have a herd mentality.

Of course, there were also many people who wanted to join but could not meet the conditions, so Namuzhong had to appease them one by one.

It was getting late, so the army rested outside the camp overnight. As soon as it dawned, Hubbell once again led a group of people and went to the next tribe to communicate. After breakfast, the army continued on the road.

The new boys and girls who joined also brought their own horses and weapons, and some also brought a lot of food. The men had three horses per person, and the women had two horses.

In the afternoon, we arrived at the next tribe. The same routine was repeated, and dozens of cavalry were recruited again.

Just like this, almost one tribe a day, the team continued to grow like a snowball, and Lin Rui was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.

The reason why it went so smoothly was not only the popularity of Namuzhong itself and the fact that these tribes had just surrendered to the Jurchens, but also another important reason was that the leaders of each tribe went to Liaodong to participate in Huang Taiji's enthronement ceremony.

And even if they encounter an unwilling tribe and face thousands of troops, they have little confidence to stop them.

In addition to the Chahar tribe, there were more than 1 Khalkha tribesmen in the entire south. Lin Rui did not provoke these tribes. Even if he could easily kill them when passing by, he chose to ignore them and pass by.

Lin Rui also considered that there was a large tribe of 3000 people in the Khalkha tribe here, and he did not want to conflict with them for the time being to avoid causing complications.

The top priority is to visit all the Chahar tribes as soon as possible. As long as some boys and girls from each tribe are coaxed to join them, these tribes will never be separated from them in the future.
