Chapter 468: Purpose of the West

"If he comes to this grass, he will definitely not have any thoughts if he comes to this grassland for a few months!"

Liu Shisan lay lazily on the cart, looking at the sky, and said boredly. He remembered very clearly that Liu Shier was unable to move when he was a child, and he was particularly envious of his actions that could be done immediately. The two brothers chatted. Liu Shier said more than once that he really hoped to be a normal person, galloping on the grassland and enjoying the freedom between the world.

However, Liu Shisan started in the first lunar month, and it has been almost five months since then. The endless grassland scene along the way.

At the beginning, I felt a little magnificent, but then I saw such unchanged colors and terrain all day long, and I was so irritable that I was really vast and sparsely populated. Except for the beginning, I met a large tribe, I didn’t meet anyone in the remaining two months. The irritability gradually turned into boredom, and boredom slowly turned into boredom.

I am used to Liu Shisan's condition, but although he acts like a boring look, the guards and the team trainers are trained hard every day by him, and they are so tired that they can be considered a stop. Anyway, a large number of knights are scattered every day as scattered horses.

They were not afraid of sudden enemy attacks. These people were eager to be sent out to be used as probing horses, otherwise they would be exhausted to death if they stayed in the marching ranks.

After passing Kulun, the terrain gradually began to rise and fall. You could occasionally see farms and fields on the road. Liu Shisan could not rob these people because there was not much oil and water to fish, so he simply traded his livestock and villages with his army.

Change some vegetables and grain, or hire some guides to go together, but the locations of these villages are registered in detail by the secretary of the army. In the future, this will be part of the territory and cannot be let go like this.

Such a large team entered the territory of the Shbiel Khanate. Although it was vast and sparsely populated, it was soon noticed. The Shbiel Khan's first reaction was that this might be the Mongolian tribe that was defeated by the Han people in the south. He came here to join him. He was very happy because the Cossacks invasion was too harmful. Now that one more population is one more population, it is really impossible to consume it.

At this time, Liu Shisan had a beard on his face and was wearing a leather robe casually. This was also a helpless situation on the grassland. Long-distance trekking, wearing cloth or armor, was a very hard work for clothes or skin. It shows that it makes sense for nomads to wear leather robes. Although the smell is very bad and not so comfortable, it is the most suitable for the grassland where there are windy and sandy.

The team was moving slowly. Half an hour ago, Liu Shisan had already patrolled the entire team. The guards and the regiments, including the herdsmen who accompanied the team, were in normal condition. To put it bluntly, he had already adapted to the current state.

Because he rarely eats vegetables, he can only rely on brick tea to clean up the greasy skin, so Liu Shisan's face became very rough. The Mongolians who guarded the team joked that Liu Shisan was like this, and he seemed to be a slave who had been grazing the nobles on the grassland for decades.

He would not get angry after hearing this. After such a long march, he didn't pay much attention to the difference between superiority and inferiority. He only knew that the military order was as good as a mountain.

"Sir, sir, there are dozens of envoys five miles away, saying that they are envoys of the Shrib Khanate, and they want to meet the leaders of our tribe."

The person who came to report the news was a guard who was born in Mongolia. He was naturally proficient in Mongolian language and laughed there. He obviously called them tribes to the so-called Thibir Khanate people. It felt particularly interesting. Liu Shisan turned his body and stood up on the carriage.

Liu Shisan casually tied the open leather robe, and laughed there, and said:

"I finally met some decent people. On the grassland, I was either a wolf or a rabbit, and I couldn't even see anyone. This is an official, so we can also open our eyes!"

According to the rules on the grassland, if you do not get permission from the other party, you are not allowed to enter the other party’s tribe to spy, otherwise you will be killed without any scruples.

The messengers of the Shbiel Khanate were not in a hurry here, waiting outside the archway of the expedition pioneer squadron, without letting them wait for long. Liu Shisan rode on the horse and came leisurely. Seeing Liu Shisan and the horses riding behind him, the messengers of the Shbiel Khanate narrowed their eyes without anyone noticing. The Mongolians were naturally the nation on the horse's back, and it was their ability to identify horses.

When they saw the tall Central Asian horse under their crotch, they knew that the horse must have been obtained by plundering a tribe of the Shbier Khanate. In the south, there were only those short Mongolian horses. Unless they were princes and nobles, the rest were sold to the Central Plains for a high price.

But although the police whistles inside and outside the expedition pioneer team were riding Mongolian horses, many herders came and went, and they all rode on horseback, which meant that they understood what was going on.

When Liu Shisan was riding a horse with several guards around, these people felt that they had confirmed their speculation that this tribe might be closer to the nature of the horse bandits.

The countries on the grassland are composed of tribes of all sizes. Most of the tribes are basically the same as those of the villages, towns, prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty. However, farming has turned into grazing, and they are honestly engaged in production and trade, paying taxes to nobles and princes at all levels, and bear military service.

Of course, some people are not obeying the orders, not producing, and relying on plundering the wealth of other tribes to make a living, and a small number of them are like this.

Unlike inland on the grassland, the horse bandit tribes similar to Green Forest Village are difficult to catch on the grasslands, relying on the vast grasslands and horse power, which is very troubled by other tribes because there is no way to impose sanctions, so naturally there is no restraint.

Liu Shisan was wearing a leather robe, and his lower body was full of leather pants, which were very sloppy. His face was messy and his beard had not been repaired for many days. His skin was rough and dark. This dress made several messengers of the Shri Khanate frown. Such a style shows that this tribe has no history, and maybe it is just a group of bandits gathered together.

Even the robbery tribes pay attention to one origin. The descendants and branches of the Genghis Khan family and the various nobles at that time are now the leaders and nobles of all tribes of all sizes on the grassland. Whether these people are producing or looting, they are all wearing gorgeous clothes and precious jewelry, and are pampered. Many people can’t even ride horses or shoot arrows.

But this is normal. You are a nobleman and have noble blood. Only with these will your tribe and your people obey your rule and be willing to be a cow and horse for you, otherwise they will not obey your rule and will resist.

The reason is that the nobility of your bloodline is the basis for your rule. The major forces on the grassland, such as Tatars, Wats, and the king Khan of the Shrib Khanate, all rely on their bloodline to contact other tribal leaders and form a ruling circle.

Looking at Jiang Feng riding over, the envoys had already made up their plans for the future. The tribes and livestock were annexed by the Thibir Khanate. At that time, as long as people were sent to climb the high ground and shout, they said that Genghis Khan's descendants were willing to accept you and make you his subordinates and slaves.

The bandit leader in front of him must not be able to maintain his rule. The bandit leader mentioned by these people, Liu Shisan and his guards stopped their horses when they were ten steps away. Someone rode out from his guard and said loudly:

"We are a tribe from Xilin. Because we were attacked by Ming people, we moved north. What kind of tribe are you messengers?"

The people in the Thibir Khanate cursed in their hearts, thinking that I had said it just now, why do you still have to ask now, and send your subordinates to shout, do you think you are such a noble person? After judging that Liu Shisan was just a bandit, the attitude of these envoys towards Liu Shisan had changed tremendously in their hearts, from the initial respect to despise quickly.

They were complaining there, how could they think that Liu Shisan here could not speak Mongolian language at all, but he still pretended to be a Mongolian tribe. He didn't expect such a plan, but since the other party mistakenly thought, he just made the mistake and said that he was wrong. Why not reduce the other party's vigilance?

The grassland is vast. Unless it is a disaster weather, when you come to the other party’s place, you only need to say some etiquette words on the scene and then give symbolic livestock gifts to settle down and grazing. Of course, you also need to bear the taxes and obligations to the other party.

But since he was thinking about annexation and looked down on him, this matter would definitely not be so smooth. The leader cleared his throat and said:

"The Khan is fighting and the arrangements for you cannot begin, so you cannot enter the Khanate now."

Since it was Liu Shisan's tribe who came to surrender, there was no need to be busy acquiring the other party's population. It would be better to ask for some bribes first. Anyway, the one who is anxious is not the Shrib Khanate, so you can get some benefits first.

After saying this, the Mongolian guard beside Liu Shisan whispered in his ear:

"This is for us to benefit, otherwise we won't let us go."

Listening to this, Liu Shisan grinned and whispered:

"Give him whatever you want, we have to get it back anyway..."
