At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Mongols from the Central Plains, but the remnant Yuan forces were never completely eliminated. They were active north of the Great Wall and south of the Fishing Sea (Lake Baikal).

Under the attack of Zhu Di, the Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty, the Northern Yuan regime was destroyed, and the Hu people also split into multiple tribes and fought against each other. It has been 150 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. During this period, the Hu people outside the Great Wall had split and merged, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, mainly divided into two camps: Washu and Tatar.

During the reign of Emperor Yingzong of Ming Dynasty, Watat became increasingly powerful, unifying most parts of Mongolia, and began to move southward toward the Ming Dynasty. In the 14th year of Zhengtong, under the leadership of the Taishi Yeshen, Watat sent troops across the Great Wall to move south, and severely damaged the main force of the Ming army in the battle of Tumubao, capturing Zhu Qizhen, Ming Yingzong, alive.

At that time, the power of Watschi reached its peak. Its territory reached Kazakhstan in the west, the Yalu River in Liaodong in the east, Lake Baikal in the north, and the Great Wall in the south, and occupied the Hetao Plain of the Ming Dynasty. However, the good times did not last long, and after death, Watschi began to fall apart, and the Hu people fell into mutual conquests again, and the Ming Dynasty also gained a chance to breathe.

At that time, Emperor Xianzong of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Jianshen seized the opportunity and launched the "Battle of Red Salt Pond", which took back the Hetao Plain in one fell swoop. In the following twenty years, the Hetao Plain was under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

However, when the Hongzhi period was reached, the Hu people ended the melee, and the Tatars began to gradually become stronger. The Dayan Khan unified most of Mongolia and re-divided six ten thousand households. The three ten thousand households on the right wing were the Ordos tribe, the Tumote tribe, and the Yongsebu tribe.

As a result, the Hetao Plain was soon occupied by the powerful Tatars. Now the Tatars' Ordos tribe is occupied by the Tatars' Ordos tribe. Youyu County goes westward and crosses the Yellow River and is the Hetao Plain.

Now standing in front of Xue Bingxin is Altan, the leader of the Tatar Tumot tribe, the second son of Balsborough, who later became famous and led his troops to surround Beijing City, almost killing Emperor Jiajing and the civil and military officials of the court.

Of course, Altan is only seventeen years old now, and he is just the second son of the leader of the Tumot tribe. There is no hope of continuing his father's position. It was only later that his elder brother died, and this guy was lucky enough to inherit the position of Jinong and reached the peak of his life since then. His experience is somewhat similar to that of the young emperor Zhu Houcong.

Although Altan is only seventeen years old now, this guy is very brave and good at fighting. He is very famous in the Tumote tribe. He is praised as an eagle on the grassland. Xue Bingxin has also heard of his name.

Xue Bingxin obviously did not expect that such a Tatar nobleman with great background would appear in the territory of the Ming Dynasty with a swagger, and ran to his territory, frowned and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, why is this person in a parody?"

Altan actually answered first: "I led my subordinates to hunt south, and accidentally got lost. I accidentally ran across the Great Wall. As a result, I met the Ming army. They killed their subordinates without any discrimination. I was also a little injured. Fortunately, Brother Zhao Quan came to rescue me."

Lei Jun snorted coldly and said, "Hunt, I'm afraid it's not about running to our Han people's territory to plunder!"

Although Lei Jun and others were horse thieves and were also engaged in robbery, they were Han people and naturally had no good impression of the Tartars who robbed and killed and enslaved the Han people.

Altan glanced at Lei Jun coldly and said indifferently: "What do you call this hero?"

Lei Jun slapped his chest and shouted: "My name is Lei Jun. Have you seen it? The clothes I am wearing are taken off the body of the Tartars, and the horses outside were also stolen from the Tartars. Those Tartars are not your subordinates, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the brothers behind Lei Jun laughed and proudly showed off their leather jackets and hats.

My eyes chilled, and suddenly laughed: "It turns out that they are all brave heroes. What my father respects most in his life are heroes. How about you follow me back to Fengzhouchuan (Hohhot) together? Wealth, wealth, cattle, sheep, land, and beautiful slave Bu are all within your reach."

Lei Jun was stunned for a moment, and then said disdainfully: "Let your mother be shit, I am a Han Chinese. Who will go back to be a dog with you, the Tartar? Have a dream!"

Altan's face darkened and his eyes looked at Zhao Quan, who shouted with a cold face: "Lei Jun, shut your stinky mouth and get out of here!"

Lei Jun couldn't help but look angry, but he knew Zhao Quan's ability was so powerful that he probably couldn't even catch a move, so he took a few steps back in disappointment.

Zhao Quan looked slightly slower and said to Xue Bingxin: "Junior Sister Xue, now our foundation in the Ming Dynasty has been destroyed, and the master has been captured and killed by the officers and soldiers. The government is also wanting us everywhere. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. It is better to follow Altan out to Fengzhouchuan. It is not only safe, but also fertile soil. It is a good place to rest and recuperate. When our vitality is restored, we will make plans again."

Zhao Quan was a man with great ambitions. Although the failure of the uprising in Shandong caused a heavy blow to his confidence, he still did not give up and was actually ready to use the power of the Tatars to overthrow the Ming Dynasty. It has to be said that this guy is really a traitor like Wu Sangui, but he is not as famous as Wu Sangui later.

Xue Bingxin looked calm. She really wanted to overthrow the Ming Dynasty and avenge her tribe members, but after the failure of the Shandong uprising, she had completely dispelled this unrealistic idea. Now she just wants to protect her relatives around her and live her life quietly. She does not want to be involved in this meaningless "great cause" that will bring endless suffering to the people of the world.

"Senior Brother Zhao, I don't want to go to Fengzhouchuan, but I won't stop anyone from the mountain village." Xue Bingxin shook her head and said lightly.

Lei Jun heard this and said loudly: "Yes, we are Han people, why should we be dogs for the Tartars? Commander Zhao, I, Lei Jun, can follow you to kill the officials and rebel, but I won't be dogs for the Tartars!"

"Brother Lei said it well. Even if I go back to Shandong to work on my old career, I will not be a dog for the Tartars. I will slaughter my compatriots in turn." Other horse thieves shouted loudly.

Zhao Quanse was so gloomy that almost dripped ink sweat. The fist in his sleeves was clenched and relaxed, and he clenched again and again. He said in a deep voice: "Junior Sister Xue, don't you want to take revenge? Going out of the frontier is just a temporary solution. We are independent, and there is no relationship between who gives to whom."

Altan spread his hands and said, "What Brother Zhao Quan said is very true. We Tatars are not good at farming, and you Han people are good at farming. We rent fertile land to you. While you are self-sufficient, you provide us with excess food. Everyone just gets what they need."

Xue Bingxin said lightly: "When you are full and your granary is full, then you can send troops south to massacre us Han people?"

Altan shrugged and said, "Miss Xue, I don't understand. You also have the blood of us Hu people. Why do you say it to us Han people one by one? Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Xue Bingxin said righteously: "Because I have been receiving Han education since I was a child, knowing Chinese characters and wearing Hanfu, learning Confucius and Mencius' ways, and practicing Han etiquette. Although I have half of the blood of Hu people, I am an unfair Han person."

"Okay!" Lei Jun and others applauded in unison.

Zhao Quan frowned and said, "Junior Sister Xue, let's talk later."

Xue Bingxin shook her head very simply and said, "No need, Senior Brother Zhao, I won't go out with you."

Zhao Quan's anger finally burst out and said angrily: "Junior Sister Xue, when is it now? You are still making trouble. Now the general situation is over. Staying here will eventually ruin everyone. What's more, there is no external supply, and the copycat is short of food and clothing. Not to mention overthrowing the Ming Dynasty, it's still a little bit to survive the cold season. Listen to me, go to Fengzhouchuan."

Xue Bingxin still shook her head firmly and said, "Senior Brother Zhao, I don't want to go, I won't stop anyone. If anyone wants to go, I won't go anyway."

Zhao Quan was furious and shouted: "Xue Bingxin, I am the leader of the church now, everyone has to listen to me!"

Lei Jun hugged and said, "Zhao Jiashou, we are not members of your sect, we only listen to Miss Xue."

"Yes, we only listen to Miss Xue!" The horse thieves said in unison.

Zhao Quan laughed furiously and said, "Okay, everyone has their own ambitions, so I won't force you anymore. After saying that, he brushed his sleeves and helped Altan leave the hall."

The next morning, Zhao Quan left with Li Zixin, Sun Cai, Qiu Fu, and dozens of young and strong men from the village, and resolutely embarked on his path of traitor. However, he was still a little conscientious and left most of the food. However, there were actually not much food left. There were about fifty or sixty old people in the village, so I was afraid that it would not last for a month.
