In fact, before Zasak Tuhan Subadi entered Monan, Liu Shizi already knew the news that he was coming.

In this era, Monan experienced Lin Dan's retreat to the west, Tian Cong's westward expedition, Khitan's eastward expedition, and another 230,000 households marched eastward to destroy Harashen. Four huge changes in power finally formed a strange

pattern.

To the west of Ulanqab, it belongs to the Marshal's Mansion; to the east of Daxinganling, it is still the territory of Hou Jin.

The large areas of excellent pasture east of Jining, west of Xing'an Mountains, north of Kaipingwei, and south of the Kullen River have become a buffer zone for the four nomads.

It's not that no one is reaching out here. It used to be the territory of the Ten Chahar Divisions. It was a good place for everyone. Everyone from all over the world was reaching out, but no one was able to occupy it for a long time without starting a war.

Of course, the only ones who wanted to occupy the territory among the four parties were Quututaiji from the Marshal's Mansion and Gulu Siqibu from the Hou Jin Dynasty.

They both competed for their homeland and often sent troops across the border. Harashen sent troops to attack and kill the people of the Marshal's Mansion, while Guitutaiji sent troops to guard the herdsmen in order to let the cattle and sheep eat grass from their hometown.

Shuolei Khan in the north instructed several tribes who were nomadic on both sides of the Kherulun River to graze on the south bank when they had the opportunity. As soon as they found any enemy troops, they quickly retreated to the north and tried to rest and recuperate without causing trouble.

As for the intentions of the Weiming Army in Kaiping in the south, they were much simpler. They didn't care about the pastures here or who occupied them.

They are the ones who come out with light swords, fast horses, soft bows and long arrows to collect human heads.

As for the Marshal's Mansion and the Monan Dudu's Mansion, which occupies the most extensive land in Monan, the biggest difference compared with the Khan's Court in the past is the composition of its personnel. It is not as distinct from the three tribes in Mobei as before.

After all, there are twenty-three thousand-household nobles in the Monan Dudu Mansion, eighteen of whom were formerly members of the three tribes in Mobei.

So much so that as soon as Subadi sent someone to ask for information, all the households in the Governor's Mansion rushed to report the information about his arrival in Monan.

People went crazy and told Liu Chengzong the news. In one day, seven messenger cavalrymen sent the information to various camps under his command.

The reason is also very simple. This is the closest Liu Chengzong has been to the households in Monan tribes. He is in Ordos.

However, when the news was received, Liu Shizi was still on the other side of Maowusuhai, commanding the army to attack Yansui Town.

In fact, there was no command at all. Half of the troops under his command were distributed in small groups to find food in the four towns and two departments of the Monan Governor's Mansion.

His troops were just watching the fun. Only the twelve battalions including the Yanqing Brigade actually participated in the attack on Yansui Town.

The intensity of resistance in Yansui Town is very low, and people's hearts have long since dispersed.

There were encounters involving more than ten, dozens, or at most hundreds of people every day, but there was never a normal battle involving thousands of people.

Most of the border forts surrendered in the face of the wind, and a few surrendered when the main force of the army arrived. Only Yulin Town was very determined to resist.

At the beginning of the war, the idle veterans recruited old troops from all over the country to enter the town, apparently with the intention of holding on. Liu Chengzong sent a letter persuading him to surrender, but no one responded.

Later, their wish was fulfilled, and they turned around and sent troops to encircle the north and south.

To the south were Zhang Zhen's Yanqing Brigade, Ding Guodong, Milayin, and Dorji Taiji, plus Hengshan's Huntianxing Huidengxiang, Mantianxing, and Zhou Qing's troops.

To the north were Liu Fangming, Ma Xiantu, Xu Yong, and Wang Yuncheng from Ningxia, plus three battalions under Ren Quan'er of the Second Brigade to watch.

Of course, with so many people around, they didn’t even look at it. The important grain road town in the rear was moving from Pingliang Prefecture to Qingyang Prefecture, transporting grain to Yansui Town. These soldiers and horses were on various paths and military forts, and they could also reach Fengshan.

The role of opening roads and building bridges when encountering water.

Liu Chengzong basically did not interfere with the war in Yansui.

He brought Chen Qiyu's younger brother Chen Qihuang over and established Jingbian County in Hengshan, making him the county magistrate to organize manpower and material resources to solve the problem of livestock power passing through the Mu Us Sea on the grain road.

Liu Shizi looked relaxed, but in fact he was not so calm inside.

Because he made a lot of preparations and did a lot of things. Although he brought the army to Ordos, it was nominally for the internal and external attack on Yulin City, but in fact it was to prepare for the conflict with Hou Jin.

Attack Ningxia first and Yansui later, both to eliminate future troubles.

Now that the future troubles have been eliminated, if Huang Taiji does not send troops, he will feel uncomfortable.

Ningxia's Yansui Wuyangyang surrendered troops and continued to expand its territory. It was already unstoppable. He had to fight a war, and it couldn't be a war with minimal intensity like Yulin.

If Hou Jin does not come, he will have to attack places like Shanxi, Henan, or Huguang.

In short, war is inevitable, and all he can choose is his opponent.

At this juncture, Subadi's arrival made Liu Chengzong particularly excited.

After receiving the news, he handed over the siege of Yulin Town to Ren Quan'er, the commander-in-chief of the second brigade, and rushed to Guihua City with his troops.

Although Yang Qi was not in the Governor's Mansion of Monan, Wang Cheng'en, He Huchen, Qututaiji and Elinchen managed Monan well together.

At least where Liu Shizi has traveled, although there are many Gobi deserts, every settled tribe has built canals, built forts, farmed, and herded animals. They are not in decline. They even look more prosperous than Yansui Town south of the border wall.

.

But this is actually his illusion.

Jinong Erlinchen here was the leader of the 230,000 households who attacked the Harashen tribe last year, and achieved the most gains in the battle.

Those harvests were given to the tribesmen at the suggestion of Sa Nang Taiji. After a year of breeding of cattle and sheep, the place would certainly show great prosperity and vitality.

The prosperity of Ordos does not come from anyone's governance or development, but is based on the attack and plunder of the Harashen tribe that almost destroyed the country.

In fact, this scene also shocked Zhasak Tuhan Subadi, who came from Mobei.

It was Liu Chengzong's first time to come to Monan, and he was not very impressed.

Subadi just left last year and came back this year. He has a clear view of the development of the Monan Governor's Mansion.

When I came last year, Guihua City was almost the same as before, except that it had suffered many wars and became dilapidated.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And when I come back this year, Subadi has no feeling. It is no different from Mobei, the same hills and Gobi, the same vast land and sparsely populated areas.

It's just that the tens of thousands of households passing by are all in good health, with herds of cattle and sheep, and they look a little prosperous.

But it is spring after all. As the saying goes, sheep in February can be thrown over the wall, which means that there is no grass to eat in winter, and sheep in spring are so thin that they can be thrown over the wall.

No matter how many livestock there are, they can't be said to be very good-looking even if they all look very thin.

But Subadi knew very well that these changes that had happened to the eighteen thousand Mobei Mongolian soldiers meant that the Monan Governor's Mansion had extremely terrifying creativity and cohesion.

They started almost from scratch.

Of course, he would not attribute all these changes to Yang Qi. At most, he could only admit that the southern barbarians under Liu Chengzong were indeed powerful.

Isn’t that barbaric enough? The Halashen tribe is a legend on the Monan grassland. Such a big tribe, if you say no, there will be nothing left.

Subadi was very aware of the legendary experience of establishing the Harashen tribe in Subudi.

It's not that they have any personal relationship, it's that their last names are different, but their first names are the same, and they both mean treasure.

It's hard not to notice someone with the same name as you.

The experience of establishing Harashen in Subudi is indeed legendary. He is like the Mongolian version of Lu Bu. He started from a small border official, weighed the pros and cons capriciously, killed Ding Yuan for Ding Yuan, killed Dong Zhuo for Dong Zhuo, and finally became the Marquis of Wen.

, in charge of government affairs.

The same goes for Subudi. He served Harashen Khan Raskhabu as Harashen's son-in-law and squeezed Raskhabu from behind. He was appointed the governor of Duoyan by the Ming Dynasty and sent troops to attack the Ming Dynasty. He formed an alliance with Huang Taiji and sent troops to plunder Huang Taiji.

, eventually making his son the Khan of Harashen.

Subadi's surname was Bo'er Jijin, while Subadi's surname was Wuliangha. Because of this, Subadi, who was born in a noble family, appreciated Subadi even more - he was not his master anyway.

This enthusiasm is the same as when Lu Bu was alive, everyone talked about the bravery of the dove and the tiger.

Anyway, I am not Ding Yuan or Dong Zhuo.

As a result, the huge business accumulated by a man as strong as Subudi after his death was destroyed by these barbarians under Yang Qi.

Of course, this group of people was not actually done by those Han soldiers who were "Liu Chengzong's Southern Barbarians" in Subadi's mind.

In fact, it was the tribes of the Three Khans of Mobei who stayed in Monan, who took Ordos Jinong Elinchen and rushed over to burn, kill and loot.

But Subadi didn't believe it.

My own tribe, don’t I know how bold and capable they are?

Can they do such a big thing? What a fucking bullshit!

They must be Liu Chengzong's Han soldiers who are not afraid of gods and Buddhas, but disrespectful to the emperor!

After all, the toughness of that group of people was obvious to all the great nobles in the western part of Mobei. Even tough people like Batur Hutaiji of Oirat were beaten into submission, and their people went to clean up the family.

Harashen, the backer, is that not expected?

Subadi also felt that Liu Chengzong looked like a human master. Look, the cattle and sheep that the Han soldiers went out to plunder were all arranged for our tribe. This Han Khan treated us Mongolia very well!

But when Subadi entered the Hetao from Shankouzi in the north of Wuyuan, the scene before him really stunned him.

As far as the eye can see, there are mountain roads cleared by knives and axes winding between the mountains. The commanding heights of each mountain look like a small construction site. Next to the simple wooden village, people lead mules to transport bricks and stones from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

The pier beacon is under construction.

The logs obtained by clearing the mountain road were piled at the foot of the mountain to dry, and some of them had already built a long wooden wall at the low mountain pass.

From Langshan Mountain to Yinshan Mountain, there are such projects everywhere. The huge projects reveal Yang Qi's ambition beyond his capabilities.

But in fact, the project volume of the Monan Governor's Mansion is not as large as it seems.

The Hetao area where the four towns of Yunzhong, Wuyuan, Shuofang and Yanmen are located in the core area of ​​Monan Dudufu, just overlaps with the ancient Zhao Great Wall and Qin Great Wall.

In fact, there are relics of the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty, but the Great Wall of the Han Dynasty is made of flat ground and rammed earth. It has been exposed to wind, rain, cold and heat for thousands of years, and there is no grass growing. It is comfortable to walk on, but it is always trampled by people and horses.

Nowadays, most of the remaining relics are only one or two feet high. Everyone thinks that these are gifts from nature and are naturally formed roads on the grassland.

They just cleared the mountain roads, repaired along the long-abandoned ruins of the ancient Great Wall, built kilns at the foot of the mountains, and built a few fortresses and beacon towers on the mountains.
