Chapter 456: Left-wing ministries

Far from the frontier, the soldiers' armor of the guards were dyed red with blood, and the merchant's brigade never stopped and walked into the grassland with an astonishing news.

As the temperature suddenly dropped after winter, people on the grassland were not full or warm in food, and people from all tribes starved to death every day. The hunger and cold minds were used by some people, and they launched the annual annual trip south to hunt grass valley.

Lindan Batuer of the Chahar tribe unified the tribes in the south of the desert and blocked the three guards in the north. If he had not forced the conversion to the sect, he would have been a prosperous lord in the hearts of the Mongols.

The Mongol cavalry easily crossed the border, killing the Ming soldiers guarding the pass, and even a commander died under the sword of the Mongolian cavalry.

This is the most news that these Outer Mongolians have heard in the past period of time.

But they didn't understand that even in this situation, the border trade continued. Now, today the merchants' brigades are coming again...

The car is a slight and the horse is slapped with the cold wind stinging on the winter grassland.

Soon, the merchants stopped in the most remote small tribe in the north of Datong Town.

The tea and porcelain brought out by the Ming Dynasty merchants have always been longed for by the Mongolians who were used to being in a rough place.

As soon as the caravan stopped, countless Mongolian herders with curious eyes gathered.

Although this is not the first time I have seen it, these exquisite things in the pass still make them both curious and awe.

It is often said that the people of the Ming Dynasty are weak and can be bullied, relying on the border of the Great Wall where the horse can leaps, guarding their crumbling country.

But they thought everything from the gate was so magical, so magical that they had never thought that there would be such things in the world before.

When you soak the tea leaves with all colors and porcelains, you can see that the Han people have a great life, which is much better than the days when we only know how to grazing sheep and riding horses.

The profits of this small tribe are not high, and even the leaders of the caravans do not look down on them. They just take a break and continue to head north without stopping, then go around and return from Xuanfu to the capital.

It is precisely such a caravan that has made many Mongolians yearn for Han culture and has also made more people covetous.

Of course, the caravan spread the news from the pass to the Mongolian grasslands.

On this day, Kangkar, the minister of the Chahar tribe who was stationed on the left, was summoning the lords of the left wing to have dinner at the main tent. On the one hand, he was to gather the people who were still far away from the Chahar tribe, and on the other hand, he wanted to see if there were any thorns.

Suddenly, a Mongolian soldier with a scimitar walked into the tent and said:

"Reported, in recent days, there have been rumors on the left that the Ming emperor in the pass has customized the religious trade center for Guihua City and will help various ministries convert to the Yellow Sect."

"It is also said that the three guards in the north of the Seibei region received the imperial edict that the leaders of the three guards would take down Tumote's Guihua City and hand it over to the Emperor of Ming to seek merit."

A small lord said as if nothing had happened:

"This little thing is worth reporting today? Since the tribute of the second year of Tianqi, which month was the first day of the 15th month? The fifteenth month was not the circulation of internal information?"

"Dear leaders, I think that the city of Guihua is strong and the Khan personally led a large army to invade the pass. The Ming Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself. Even if the three guards in the north dared to send troops, they would not easily defeat the Tumote tribe."

"The Tumote tribe is now second only to Chahar among the tribes in the south of the desert!"

Kangkar thought about it and finally felt that the news was not groundless. He went south to hit Caogu, and the Ming Dynasty would have a solution to it. He said:

"Dear left-wing leaders, no matter whether these rumors are true or false, it is better to be cautious!"

"Let's do this. From today on, the left-wing divisions will strictly prohibit the occurrence of these rumors. And I think the root cause of these rumors is the caravans that came out of the pass!"

"Only by cutting off rumors can people's hearts be assured. The fundamental thing is to stop caravans from coming to various departments to sell freight!"

The previous half of the sentence has not caused much storm, but after hearing the left wing lords quit.

The Treasury was finally "seeked" by the left-wing tribes during the Longqing period. Without Treasury trade, the "market reward" of several thousand taels per year will definitely be cancelled, which will inevitably be a heavy blow to the left-wing tribes.

"etc!"

A lord stood up and looked at Kangar coldly, saying:

"Maybe the left-behind ministers don't know that the customs trade with the Ming Dynasty is a joint request from the leaders of our left-wing divisions and the Ming Dynasty. Whether it is war or peace, it will not be affected, and it has not changed for decades!"

"Many lords and tribes in our tribe are waiting to trade with the Ming Dynasty before they can sell cattle, sheep and horses. No matter what, the customs trade cannot be cancelled!"

It concerns one's own interests, and no one cares about it, especially these poor left-wing tribes. If there is no customs trade and "market reward", their tribe will be even poorer.

The position of Kangkar has been passed down since the Genghis Khan's time. The left-behind officials of the Mongolian Khan in the left-wing tribes held great power.

Although the real power is no longer available now, Kangkar himself is a close confidant of Lindan Batul and a lord of a powerful tribe. How could he allow the left-wing tribes to jump in front of him?

He smiled faintly and asked:

"If this is what the Khan means, can the left-wing tribes, just like the outer Khalkha tribes, not recognize the Khan of the Chahar tribe?"

There are still no one in the left wing tribes who dare not be unfaithful to be the Khan Lindan Batuur. They are different from the outer Khalkha and the inner Khalkha.

Each of the five major divisions of Neikhalka is equivalent to an Eastern Tumot. They also have a common leader. Once the Chahar tribe is in a hurry and prompts the five major divisions to unite, this force cannot be underestimated.

The outer Khalkha has now been unified by a powerful lord and is closely related to the mysterious Tsarist Russia. Even Lindan Batul dared not attack him easily.

To put it bluntly, the left wing tribes are dozens of small tribes on the left of Mongolia in the south of the desert.

Next to them is Mongolia in the south of the desert, not far from Chahar's headquarters. As soon as this sound came out, Lindan Batuer had an excuse to send troops to the left wing.

Lindan Batuer has never fought with the left wing, one because he couldn't find any excuses, and the other because there was no need.

The water and grass in the area where the left-wing tribes stationed in the pastoral areas are not as rich as those in the south of the desert, and are generally poor. If you mobilize troops to fight, you may not get as much as you lose.

The strength of the left-wing tribes is completely inferior to that of the Mongolians in the south of the Mo. With Chahar's current strength, they can easily defeat them.

Kangkar used this as an excuse and forcibly announced the order. There was nothing to say. The lords of the left wing tribes had to respect the order, but they were very dissatisfied.

The left-wing tribes are actually seeking to survive in the cracks between the rising and growing Chahar tribe and the Ming Dynasty.

They disobeyed Lindan Batuer in order not to give him a polite manner so that he could attack him.

But at the same time, the left wing relies heavily on the Ming Dynasty's customs trade and market rewards that lasted for decades. Once cancelled, it would be a heavy blow to them.
