Chapter 43 Encirclement (11)

While Warsaw was burning, Tielin of the New Thirteenth Rural Ranch, more than 200 miles west of Kiev, was conveying the telegrams received by the town. This was not a telegram about the news of the Western Expedition Army, but a queen in Kiev issued an order to ask all the "Arima Yuan people" who were willing to go to resist the Mongols to gather in Kiev.

The telegram clearly defined the "people with horses" and naturally had to have their own horses. The subsequent restrictions were based on this as women, children under the age of sixteen, and grandpas over the age of forty-three.

Listening to these requests, Tie Lin was full of mockery, but he did not show it on his face. He just asked, "Have any other farms received the news?"

This sentence made the farmers confused. Someone said in Mongolian language, which was mixed with a lot of Chinese vocabulary: "In the past, King Khan ordered troops, and he had to go if he was a man. Why did the king stipulate that those under the age of sixteen and over forty-three cannot go? I really can't remember how old I am."

Such frank words were not something that could be said by those who followed Hao Ren to create the Yuan Dynasty. The first group of people in the Yuan Dynasty had completed household registration and bookkeeping. They might not remember the exact time at that time, but after they signed up for the number, they had their own files. The age column above was their legal age.

However, this topic did not trigger more discussion. An old man with a gray beard joined in the speech, "Of course our family wants to go to the royal city, but it's better for our family to let me go. It's not the children's turn to go to war."

Such expression was immediately approved by several gray beards, and they immediately joined in the speech. If the situation was so crisis that the country was soliciting people, the elderly would certainly hope to die first. Tielin was 34 years old this year, not within the age range of exempted. He could only shut up temporarily when he heard the old men say it seriously. He did not want to attract too many people's attention.

The manager of the New Thirteenth Rural Ranch in Labor did not pay attention to Tielin. The old man's statement alone made him a little unbearable. Although he proposed the matter of national mobilization when he was in the army, there is a general statement, but it is the first time it has been actually implemented. No, it is difficult to say whether it is the first execution. If it is based on the situation in the memory of the director, it is that there are various recruitment offices sending people to the village and Latin who are marked from door to door. This statement of relying on telegrams is more like a call. There are no rigid regulations for everyone to go or not. It is similar to the call from those who usually perform well in the army in the face of difficult circumstances.

Most Yuan army officers have had this experience. Excellent people who stand up under this call will be promoted after completing the difficult tasks. The naughty and poor guys who usually do not perform well will not be accepted even if they want to take advantage of such an opportunity to get promotion.

So the director persuaded the old gentlemen, "It's not time for you to go to the battlefield yet, so don't worry."

The old gentlemen were unhappy after hearing this, "The king gave us the flock of sheep and horses. It would be impossible not to go to the king at this time."

Listening to the argument between the field manager and the old gentlemen, Tie Lin felt mixed emotions. Duokou is the lowest-level existence in Mongolia. They have no herds, and there are no horses. All they have is themselves. Duokou joins the tribe and only gives them one male and one female two sheep. Let them take care of the sheep to reproduce by themselves, and give the tribe leaders hard work in exchange for some food and clothing. If you are lucky, the flock of sheep will multiply after more than ten or twenty years, and they use products such as wool and dairy to buy horses and cattle. This kind of luck is actually difficult to come to Duokou's descendants, and the descendants of these people will last for several lifetimes.

In Hao Ren's Yuan Dynasty, the country built a large number of farming and pastures. The Mongolians who came here did not oppose the policy of state-owned land. No matter how large the grassland was, someone had to grazing on it to get income. On the Mongolian land where the land was privately owned, many people had to ask other tribes to drive away cattle and sheep to graz. What herders care most about is whether there are horses, cattle, and sheep. They never hope to get land, nor do they care about getting land.

Once you enter the Yuan Kingdom and are accepted by the Yuan Kingdom, the drivers will be assigned to various farms and pastures. The animals are in different pastures and animal circles. There is no need to accept the test of wind, rain, thunder and lightning. There is no invasion of jackals, tigers and leopards. After getting sick, there will be doctors to manage them. Kill animals who have plagues quickly to prevent the epidemic. Horses, cows, and sheep are very prosperous.

The drivers start with basic work, and those with some expertise will be assigned accordingly. The reason why they are whipped is that they do not listen to the teacher's lectures, or they are timid and dare not do as required by the teacher. As long as they have some expertise, they can divide the animals. Even the Mongols can still pull horses to plow the land when farming after receiving training.

Raising cattle really requires technical work. The proportion of people with this technology is not high in farms and pastures. However, very few people escape here in Mongolia. After working for two years, there are no horses or flocks at home. On the Mongolian grassland, if you want to develop from a family of drivers to this level, you need to get special care for Changshengtian for twenty years, and steal or catch horses that escaped from other people's homes.

Tielin's family fled to the Yuan Kingdom three years ago. When he was in the Qincha Khanate, his family was also a wealthy family in a middle-class tribe. He worked around the King of Qincha Khan. In the three years after he fled to the Yuan Kingdom, he passed the second grade of the seventh-class veterinary examination. He already had three horses, ten dogs and ninety sheep. In addition to the grain and fruits and vegetables that were allocated from the farm every year, the Tielin's family's wealth was very limited compared to his in the Qincha Khanate.

So Tielin could understand the feelings of those old gentlemen to go to Kiev to serve King Hao Ren. They did not want the Mongols to come. The Mongols represent their driving career over the past few decades. For their current life, they did not want to be considered by King Hao Ren as ruthless and unreliable waste. Similarly, they did not want their families to face dangerous wars. The loyalty from the heart and the earnestness to protect their families should satisfy both. The old gentlemen felt that they were on the battlefield.

The farm manager is similar to other grassroots officials and cadres in the Yuan Dynasty. He is also a shepherd boy. He learned Chinese in the army, received training, and understood discipline. Of course, he would not let the old gentlemen go to war. There was no result at the meeting, so he waited for the meeting to end and talk to those simple and more adult men in the family. He hoped that the farm manager could send three or five people to Kiev under the leadership of the farm manager.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the staff confirmed, they received the news. Several old men, who were about 45, had discussed privately that they had already rode their horses to Kiev. The scene was shocked and had to quickly take four people of the "Arima Yuan people" who volunteered to Kiev.

What was even more unexpected was that when they were about to leave the farm, Tielin, who had been not very enthusiastic, also rode his horse and asked to set off with them.

Multiple people have more power, and Tielin is a veterinarian, so he really needs him. Six people form a team and chase down the road. Xiang Xian catches up with the old man.
