Subadi listened and finally spoke: "But the most important question is to find out why Dulbert Khan didn't see us? I don't know the reason, I'm afraid there will be a trap!"
Tuxie Tuhan frowned after hearing this.
In fact, they have thought about this problem for a long time, but they have never been able to think of the real reason. At this time, when Subadi mentioned it, he guessed: "Could they take us as hostages to discuss something with other tribes in Wasi? Conspiracy?
Our herds and population are all gone, so what else are we planning?"
After hearing this, Subadi shook his head and asked doubtfully: "Do you think Dulbert Khan will go to the Ming Dynasty?"
If they had defected to the Ming Dynasty, then there would be a strong motive for detaining them.
"Impossible!" Tuxie Tuhan heard this and immediately denied it, "The Ming Dynasty is going crazy now. Ordinary herdsmen, they want it, but what about us? When did they come to discuss it with us? He Durbo
What's the difference between Tehan and us? To submit to the Ming Dynasty, isn't that a sheep entering a tiger's mouth?"
At this point, he was also puzzled, and added: "I'm curious, what is the Ming Dynasty doing? Do they have money? How do they accommodate our large population? Counting our three tribes in Mobei, they are all
There are probably more than 200,000 people. The Ming Dynasty rebelled without food a few years ago; now they can accommodate such a large population?"
Suba heard this for the first time, nodded and said: "In just a few years, it doesn't mean whether the bandits in the country have been pacified, but they are definitely at war with the Qing Dynasty, let alone the Japanese country.
I am sure that the Ming Dynasty will never have so much money and food to settle the three tribes in Mobei. Maybe after the people of our tribe went south, they were slaughtered like pigs again, right?"
"That's right!" Tuxie Tuhan heard this and immediately agreed, "Those untouchables in our tribe are all ignorant. They think that the Ming Dynasty is richer than us, so they think they can support them. They don't even think about it.
How can we feed a population of more than 100,000? There is definitely something wrong here!"
Normally speaking, what the two of them said would not be wrong.
However, they did not know that Emperor Chongzhen had the golden finger of Liu Weichao, which was a characteristic technology tree. Under the premise of vigorously developing science and technology, productivity has been greatly developed, and with the help of Zheng Zhilong, from Nanyang
You can also get extra food. The food and grass supplies in Ming Dynasty are no longer the same as before.
It is even foreseeable that in the near future, due to the vigorous development of productivity in the Ming Dynasty, there may be a surplus of supplies in the country. At that time, the court will need to send troops to protect the caravans and sell the supplies to other countries.
Zasak Tuhan and Tuxie Tuhan were chatting when they heard their followers suddenly exclaimed: "The people from Dulbert's department have discovered it and are chasing us!"
On the grassland, no, it was on the snowfield at this time. It was very difficult to cover up the traces, which was why they decided not to run.
After Zhasak Tuhan and Tushetu Khan heard what their men were saying, they did not move and accepted their fate. Even Tushetu Khan said: "It just so happens that after such a commotion, we are not afraid that Dulbert Khan will not see us!"
"
Zasak Tuhan listened and nodded. Just when he was about to speak, he suddenly felt something was wrong. He pointed in the distance and said, "When did the cavalry of Dulbert's department wear red robes?"
Prairie tribes generally wear gray and black clothes, for no other reason than not looking dirty. It is not uncommon for them to wear red robes, because when there are festivals and the like, the rich prairie nobles will wear them to make them more festive.
But now, as far as they could see, they saw several cavalry troops galloping in their direction, like several red fire dragons.
"Isn't this impossible?" Tuxie Tuhan said in surprise, "Why do I look at it, it looks a bit like the cavalry of the Ming Dynasty?"
However, he didn't think that at this time, how could the Ming cavalry appear in the west?
When he said this, some of their followers had indeed seen it clearly, and immediately shouted in horror: "It's the Ming Cavalry, it's the Ming Cavalry, the Ming Cavalry is coming to kill!"
Hearing this, everyone was a little dumbfounded. It's not even spring yet, so how can the Ming cavalry come here?
Impossible!
Unable to run away, a group of people could only watch stupidly.
That's right, it was the Ming Dynasty cavalry that came over. Among them were Mongolians in gray robes, who were members of Dulbert's tribe.
Seeing this situation, Zasaktu Khan sighed and said: "I finally understand. Dulbert Khan has never shown up. He went to find the Ming army. With us as a meeting gift, he will definitely be promoted and make a fortune."
!”
…………………………
After about an hour, everyone returned to the wintering ground of Dulbert's tribe. Zasaktu Khan and Tushetu Khan also met Dulbert Khan as they wished.
The two of them, when they were about to die, did not hide it, and asked the doubts in their hearts. They also reminded Durbot Khan and other Durbot people standing around: "Don't be deceived by Ming people."
It’s impossible for them to resettle the population of the three tribes in Mobei, so how can they possibly resettle your Dulbert tribe. The Ming people just want to use you and drive you..."
Before they finished speaking, those people from Dulbert's tribe who had been to Guihua City burst out laughing, laughing at their short-sightedness.
"The Ming Dynasty has long been different from what it used to be. You still look at people with old eyes and are not afraid of being laughed to death!"
"You don't know that Guihua City is many times bigger than before, and many houses have been built, all of which are inhabited by people from your Mobei tribe!"
"Do you know about the steam train? You don't know either! This year it will be built from Guan Nei to Guihua City. In the future, Guihua City will be as prosperous as Guan Nei!"
"..."
He said with a crackle, which made Zhasak Tuhan and Tuxie Tuhan dumbfounded. What's going on?
Dulbert Khan didn't care what they were still doubting. These two gifts almost escaped and he quickly handed over to Tian Jianxiu and Gao Yigong.
For fear of long nights and many dreams, if he does not realize the planned achievements as soon as possible, he will feel uneasy.
For this reason, he proposed to Tian Jianxiu and Gao Yigong that before the spring blossoms, he would immediately rush to the Heshuote Department in person to persuade the Heshuote Department to submit to the Ming Dynasty.
Tian Jianxiu was the coach this time. After hearing his request, he did not object. He just told Dulbert Khan: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to submit. The strength of our Ming Dynasty is there. The Western Region will belong to the Ming Dynasty sooner or later."
.If you get more military achievements later, I believe all the soldiers in your Dulbert department will also like it!"
He was full of confidence when he spoke!
This made Dulbert Khan a little speechless, and he suddenly remembered that Li Dingguo had said similar words.
For the people of his tribe, it would definitely be better to have military exploits; but for him, it would definitely be better to persuade the Heshuote tribe to submit; therefore, he did not dare to delay, and took advantage of the spring to get ready before the flowers bloomed.
The tribesmen all had the chance to spend the winter without wandering around, so they hurriedly braved the snow and left.
……………………
The Heshuote tribe is located in the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, mainly in the northeastern area of Urumqi in later generations. When Dulbert Khan arrived at the Heshuote tribe, although it was not the time for spring to bloom, it was not too far away.
.
The leader of the Heshuote tribe was Oqiltu Khan at this time. When he heard that Dulbert Khan was visiting, he was very surprised. Because visiting at this time is definitely not an easy task. If it weren’t for a very big
Things will definitely not come at this time.
So, he hurriedly greeted Dulbert Khan in person and welcomed him to the king's tent.
Speaking of which, although the Heshuote tribe and the Dulbert tribe are both Washi, the relationship between them is actually not that harmonious. Just a few years ago, Baturhun Khan of the Jungar tribe
, once united with Oqiltu Khan to defeat the combined forces of Kundulun Ubashi, the chief of one of the Heshuote tribes, and Dulbert Khan.
The internal relationship within Waqi can be considered a bit chaotic.
At this time, after Dulbert Khan entered the king's tent, he was not polite and said straight to the point: "I came to see you this time because it is related to the fate of our two clans. For the sake of you and the Shuote tribe, I also
For my own good, Dulbert."
After hearing this, Erqiltu Khan asked with a serious expression: "I don't know what it is? Come here at this time. No matter what, I will accept your love!"
"The three Mobei tribes and the Khalkha tribe are gone!" Dulbert Khan had already thought about how to say it, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he used his shock body.
After hearing this, Erqiltu Khan was a little confused and said: "What is gone? What does it mean to be gone?"
Generally speaking, it means that it is gone, which means it has perished.
However, the Mobei Tribes are as powerful as the entire Wasi tribe. Last year, they were in contact with each other and discussed joining forces with Tsarist Russia to attack the Ming Dynasty. How could the Mobei Tribes be extinct after just one winter?
.
Therefore, Oqiltu Khan felt that he was a lackey.
Dulbert Khan was not surprised to see him like this, and immediately replied: "The three tribes of Mobei were swept away by the Ming cavalry in the autumn of last year, and are now destroyed!"
After he finished speaking, he had the leisure to drink the horse milk tea because he believed that Oqiltu Khan would need time to digest the news after he said it.
Sure enough, after hearing the news, Oqiltu Khan's mouth couldn't help but open wide, his jaw dropped in shock!
The Khalkha Mongolia were destroyed by the Ming army in just a few months last autumn?
How is this possible!
The three tribes in Mobei have a population of hundreds of thousands. Their fighting army must be at least one hundred thousand, right?
The Ming army went on an expedition to Mobei. If they wanted to destroy the Khalkha tribe with this thunderous force, how many troops would be needed to achieve this goal?
That's not right. With Mobei so far away, it's not a matter of how many troops we have!
For a moment, Oqiltu Khan could not figure it out no matter what he thought!
