When Huang Taiji woke up, it was already midnight, and he knew that no matter what, they would not be able to catch up.
These people have been walking for at least ten days. And the traces have been cleaned up. It seems that there are people cleaning up the traces behind. They have no idea who stole these people, animals and property, nor do they know where they went.
However, there are only a few forces on the grassland. The biggest suspicion is Lin Dan Khan's Chahar tribe. Because they are the most powerful, they are the only ones with the ability to annihilate 10,000 bannermen and kidnap 500,000 people.
Huang Taiji vomited blood again. He had just defeated Lin Danhan last year, but he didn't expect this old thief to be waiting for him here. He took away all the loot that he had lost half of his troops. It was like a mantis stalking a cicada and an oriole behind.
.
He struggled to get up and went to Daishan.
He decided that even though their strength was greatly reduced after their disastrous defeat, he still decided to gather the last 130,000 troops and immediately go north to raid Lin Dan Khan's Chahar tribe.
It is half a month's journey from Lindan Khan's Chahar tribe.
They carried just enough supplies for one month.
Lin Danhan didn't know the situation of their withdrawal from the Great Wall, so he could definitely be caught off guard.
Now, the tribes of Eastern Mongolia don't know the news about the changes in Liaodong. They just take advantage of this time difference to lure them to fight Lin Dan Khan. Otherwise, once the news is leaked, these Mongolians will definitely abandon him.
Therefore, we must not lead the Mongols across the Liao River like this. Once we cross the river, the situation in Liaodong cannot be concealed. It is better to take them to fight Lin Dan Khan. If we can annex Lin Dan Khan's territory and conquer the Chahar people, then
If we attack Liaodong again, we will be much more confident.
Otherwise, even the soldiers of the Eight Banners might run to Amin's side if they knew that their family members were being detained by Amin. Huang Taiji would be abandoned by everyone in an instant and become a real loner.
"This is Lin Dan Khan's doing. You have worked hard for half a year and so many people have died. The people, animals and property you have robbed are just taken away by that insidious Khan. Are you willing?" Huang Taiji summoned the Eight Banners and the Eastern Mongolian tribes.
Taiji said through gritted teeth.
Daishan knew the inside story, but now that he was like this, he could only end up in trouble with Huang Taiji. Others were mature, and after repeated consideration, they also felt that Huang Taiji's approach was the best choice at the moment.
The Eight Banners and the Mongolian army of 130,000 cannot be separated. Only by establishing an enemy can they continue to be bound together. That is to take back these properties and slaves. The Mongols will suffer greater losses, they will not agree, and they will be red-eyed because of hatred. They
They were already oppressed by the Chahar people.
They hated Baicheng's insidious Khan. Without this, they all wanted to cause him some discomfort. Now they were even more furious.
When Huang Taiji was inciting and framing Lin Dan Khan, these 500,000 people had already arrived at a section of railway.
This is the railway from Zhangjiakou, which is the one built by Yang Fan. It starts from Beitangkou in the east, has now left Hami in the west, and continues westward.
There is no station here, but there is a train stopping here.
This is a 762-gauge narrow-gauge train with two locomotives in front and fifty freight cars at the back. A hundred people were crammed into each carriage, and they could only stand in the open-air freight cars.
.
"Go take a pee and poop quickly. Once it's done, get in line and get in the car." A soldier shouted with a cold face.
Seeing the bright bayonets on the soldiers' muskets, these people were so frightened that they hurried to relieve themselves. Then they were pressed into a queue and boarded the train.
Five thousand people had just been transported away. Within two-quarters of an hour, another train arrived, and then another five thousand people were escorted onto the train.
Those who did not take their turn were detained in different areas on the spot. However, their treatment was much better when they were controlled by the slaves.
They were divided into separate areas and were provided with stainless steel tableware and kettles. Although they slept on the grassland, it was the hottest time, but it was not cold. There were many rats, snakes, and scorpions on the grassland.
The soldiers in the camp dug many pressurized water wells to provide boiled water for them to drink. There were also many fire-head soldiers who used huge iron pots to cook corn porridge for them to eat. They could actually eat three meals a day. It was all corn porridge.
With shredded pickles, you can be full with every meal.
Since they were captured, they have been severely tortured both physically and mentally, and are in poor health.
But they are the strongest people who have made it this far alive. After a few full meals, their faces became obviously rosy and their physical condition improved.
Zhao Shuigen did not tell them the truth because it was impossible to let them go back. Their hometown had been completely destroyed by the slaves, and they could not survive if they returned. The court would not care about their life or death.
Moreover, due to the severe drought in the past two years, they have lost everything, and returning to their hometown is a dead end.
Therefore, it is the best choice for the master to transport them to Linhe City and develop coats.
Qi Dazhuang was quite courageous. He heard that one of the soldiers guarding them had an accent from Qianxi County, his hometown. He couldn't help but ask: "Soldier, where are you going to send us?"
The expected beating did not come. Perhaps it was the same local accent that aroused the soldier's sympathy.
He looked at Qi Dazhuang and said: "The above said that they will send you to Linhe City. From now on, each of you will be given fifty acres of water to irrigate the land in the jacket. From now on, you will take root in the jacket. When you get married and start a business, you will never return to Daming.
Already."
The people who were ordered to sit on the ground suddenly exploded.
Fifty acres of land were still irrigated, as if they were in a dream.
In fact, they also know what will happen if they return to their hometown.
The place has been burned to death by the Jian slaves, and there are no seeds for planting. Not to mention there is no food, how can we wait until tomorrow's spring plowing? It is so dry now, even if we can plant the land, we may not even be able to harvest the seeds.
Their family members are gone, and now they have enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry.
If they were really given irrigated land with guaranteed harvests during droughts and floods, it would not be unacceptable to wear any kind of coat. After all, being able to survive is more important than anything else. Even if they were allowed to return to their hometown, they would still have to hold on to sticks to escape the famine.
Not long after, another train rumbled to a stop on this section of track. Another group of people got on the train.
Now that the entire railway is out of service, all the trains have been mobilized to transport this group of people who were snatched back. Yang Fan plans to transport them all to Linhe City. These 500,000 people are enough to develop this piece of the Yellow River, which is beneficial to all.
A set of places.
To the north of the Yellow River and to the south of Daqing Mountain, this is a fertile wasteland. It is also the Chile River in the ancient Yuefu poems. It can be developed eastward to Fengzhou and is suitable for agriculture in the south of the Yangtze River.
Here you can use the Yellow River water and the remaining ancient channels from the Han and Tang Dynasties for irrigation. You can also use steam engines to pump water for irrigation. The land here is fertile, and although the frost-free period is short, there is still no problem in growing a season of grain and autumn vegetables.
Since he had knocked down his coat and front jacket (in the Guihua City area of Fengzhou), Yang Fan would not give it to anyone. He decided to stay and develop it by himself. These are the most important logistics and food for his army's westward march in the future.
Base. The food grown here is enough to support his army to fight to the Black Sea.
