Chapter 617 Where can we go

With Yang Feng's support, the Korqin tribe's life has been unprecedentedly good in recent years. With the influx of a large number of daily necessities, the lives of herders' villagers have also undergone earth-shaking changes. Whether it is food, cloth, tea, iron pots and other daily necessities or medicines, these shortage materials in the past have been greatly alleviated.

As the herdsmen's lives improved, Zaisan Buhe's reputation also increased. Especially in recent years, some small tribes have seen the Korqin tribe live a prosperous life, and they cried and shouted to join the Korqin tribe, which has made Zaisan Buhe's prestige reach its peak.

Of course, the side effects are not without them. After the Korqin tribe became rich, it also attracted snooping attention.

For example, the relationship between the Korqin tribe and the Qing Dynasty has become very bad in the past two years, especially in recent years, Huang Taiji has been sending people to the Korqin tribe to constantly ask for food, war horses and other materials, which has aroused dissatisfaction among many people.

To be honest, Zaisang Buhe actually felt guilty towards Huang Taiji. After all, it was his sister and daughter who were sorry for him first. The aunt and nephew actually followed Yang Feng, the kid, to the Ming Dynasty.

Now Zhezhe has even given birth to a daughter, which makes Huang Taiji's head compete with Hulunbuir's prairie. As long as he is a man, he can't bear it. Anyway, Zaisang Buhe thinks that such a thing would never be tolerated if he puts it on his head. However, Huang Taiji not only endured it, but he didn't even turn against him. How could this mind be described as broad?

It is also because of this that when Huang Taiji ordered Wu Keshan to lead three thousand Mongolian cavalry and some herders to station Heisamu, Zaisan Buhe did not object. After all, Wu Keshan is now the banner owner of the blue flag of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. In name, Huang Taiji is their master, and it is impossible not to obey orders.

As it turns out, Zaisan Buhe and Wu Keshan are still too naive.

When Wu Keshan and the people of the Inlaid Blue Banner came to Hei Shumu, they realized that their suffering had come. Because they were far away from the Korqin tribe, all supplies for the Inlaid Blue Banner depended on the support of the Qing Dynasty, but the supply provided by the Qing Dynasty had never been sufficient. For more than half a year, Wu Keshan and the others lived a hungry and full life. After the winter began, some weak elderly people and children even died of hunger, which made these Mongolians increasingly resentful towards the Qing Dynasty.

After realizing that they really starved a lot of people to death, the generals of the Inlaid Blue Flag stopped doing it. For them, the herdsmen were their foundation. If the herdsmen were gone, they would become rootless duckweed and would be at risk of destruction at any time.

Immediately, a general proposed to Wu Keshan to return to the Korqin tribe, and they would survive as long as they could return to the Korqin tribe.

But soon they realized that Heikhumu was located in the northeast of Liaodong, thousands of miles away from the Korqin tribe. It was tantamount to commit suicide by migrating such a long distance in this season, so this road is absolutely unworkable.

After thinking of this, many people felt cold. Wu Keshan, the owner of the Inlaid Blue Banner, was so worried that his hair turned white for this matter. The official documents sent to Shengjing to allocate grains and grass were almost every three days. However, except for the initial sending people to Shengjing to transport some firewood for warmth and dried animal feces, they needed no food most, which also made Wu Keshan and the others' hearts cold.

After drinking a bowl of horse milk wine, a spicy and fragrant milky smell and a faint sweetness echoed in his throat, but Wu Keshan's face became increasingly ugly.

Although the food shortages made the herdsmen and Mongolian soldiers outside were frozen and hungry, the life of his Blue Flag Banner and the generals in the house was still guaranteed. Just when he thought of the herdsmen in the tribe who looked hungry and cold, he felt a fire of ignorance surged from his heart.

At this time, a young man whose hair was shaved off and only had a bunch of hair on his forehead said angrily to Wu Keshan: "Brother, I understand. Huang Taiji transferred us here to this point of being uneasy. In name, he wanted us to guard the Longxing land. In fact, he wanted us to starve us to death here alive!"

The boy is Wu Keshan's younger brother Borjigit Chahan. The seventeen-year-old boy couldn't hide his worries in his heart. After drinking two bowls of horse milk wine, he even said what he didn't dare to say in the past.

"Yes, Taiji, Young Master Chahan is right. Huang Taiji's purpose is to starve us to death and freeze us here, and then they can take the opportunity to annex our Korqin tribe. Taiji, you must be careful!"

After Borjigit Chahan's words were finished, they aroused the anger of the generals, and the room was filled with their unwilling voices.

He grabbed the sheepskin bag, poured a bowl of horse milk wine for himself, and slurped it all over and said with a savage: "It is true, we can't continue like this. If we don't find a way, our people will not be able to survive this winter. For the sake of our plan, we can only leave here?"

"Where are we going after leaving here?" The generals were shocked and looked at Wu Keshan one after another.

Wu Keshan used his blood-covered eyes to scan everyone's faces and said slowly: "Let's leave here and go to Gaizhou!"

"Gayzhou?"

Everyone was shocked.

"Taiji, Gaizhou is now the territory of the Ming army. If we go there, wouldn't we fall into the trap?"

"What do you know?" Wu Keshan looked at everyone and asked, "Do you know which Ming army is stationed in Gaizhou now?"

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Wu Keshan said again: "I tell you that the Jiangning Army under my brother-in-law Yang Feng, who is stationed in Gaizhou now. The food, salt, tea bricks and other things transported to our Korqin tribe over the years were all sent from my brother-in-law to Gaizhou and then sent to the Korqin tribe. As long as we arrive in Gaizhou, we will be saved."

After the generals looked at each other, their faces showed unconcealed joy. Borjijit Chahan's eyes were even more shiny, and he grabbed Wu Keshan's sleeve and asked, "Brother, is this true? Why don't I know?"

Wu Keshan touched Borjigit Chahan's head with some amusement: "This matter is related to the safety of our Korqin tribe. Let's not talk about you, only Abu and I know in the entire tribe. If this time it was not the juncture of life and death, I wouldn't tell you."

Borjijit Chahan was overjoyed and almost jumped up: "That's great, can we return to the Korqin tribe through Gaizhou?"

"No!" Wu Keshan shook his head: "After arriving in Gaizhou, those herders can go back, but we can't. You don't think about it. Once Huang Taiji knows that we privately escaped from Hei Samu and returned to the Korqin tribe, he will send troops to attack Korqin even if he is generous."
