Chapter 1406 Forcing the Alliance
What was even more surprising was that there were quite a few people from small tribes in their team, and in the words of the Jurchens, they were fish skin Tartars by the river or savages in the forest.
In the Later Jin Dynasty, people from these small tribes were regarded as the Jurchens. Every year, they dispatched the Eight Banners soldiers to the north to capture male men from these alien races. Every year, as many as thousands and as few as hundreds of people joined the Eight Banners. These Dingkous are precious wealth, and the Beilemen of each banner are rushing to ask for them.
Compared with the Han people who only know how to cultivate the land and the timid Mongolians, these Jurchens are as skilled in archery as the Jurchens, and are more fierce and more resilient and able to endure hardships.
Their living places are more difficult and wilder than those of the Jurchens in the white mountains and black waters. The average life span is shorter and life is more difficult. After reaching the Jurchens, they can quickly integrate into it. Their languages are the same and their living customs are similar, so they can adapt to farming and fighting life.
In addition to being consumed as a dead soldier, those who survive can also become strong soldiers, and are more trustworthy than Han and Mongols.
Now these Sorens, Ewenks, Oroqen people have been organized into very strong cavalry teams by the Han people, which is almost unacceptable to Tan Tai and Shumu.
Through the layers of wooden fences, Tan Tai and Shu Mu looked at everything in front of them with a gloomy expression.
The sun is dazzling, and the sunshine in late spring makes people feel comfortable when shining on people. The thick fur coat is almost unable to wear. The grass in the distance is endless and there is no side at all. Many flowers bloom on the grassland, reflecting the forest in the distance.
The large number of cavalry quickly enveloped such a beautiful scenery like dark clouds. Each Taiji led his subordinates out of Mucheng. The Hutchison army was approaching in the south. The Ongniut and the Zarut people had surrendered. A large number of small tribes were willing to lead the Hutchison army. The Huang Cult's attitude was also quite ambiguous. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye could see the support of the living Buddhas for Hutchison. The Khans in the northern part of the Mobei publicly claimed that they would support Zhang Han unconditionally and abandon their communist Khan.
The situation was already quite obvious. The Korqin people were still hesitating, with strong enemies on the side, but there were powerful allies behind them to rely on. As a result, Hu Ji suddenly hit behind him with one stick and defeated the Korqin people's hastily assembled army in one battle, completely losing the capital for bargaining.
Everything that happened in front of him was called Tan Tai and Shu Mu felt frustrated. The Korqin people were their allies and the most reliable allies. They were sent here to see the situation of their allies. The Jurchens would send troops to help their allies at the right time.
This ally was also a wedge that penetrated the grassland, a very useful tool. Now this good tool has been picked up by others, just under the eyes of the Jurchens.
Large areas of Korqin people filled the entire grassland. Of course, they had no intention of demonstrating at all. The Korqin people had very limited power, and they had a large population, which could raise 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the surrounding small tribes could raise 100,000 people.
When Huang Taiji conquered Lin Dankhan, Korqin and Bahrain empress Niutzharut gathered 100,000 people.
But these 100,000 people are useless, and even 100,000 sheep can't beat five thousand wolves. This is an unquestionable fact.
The Korqin people just showed their true sincerity. They had been conquered and no longer wanted to change to another conqueror.
The hunting cavalry like red clouds finally appeared. Several Hutchison guards and the Mongols looked up at the situation on the grasslands several miles away. Everyone was interested in watching. An Hutchison's old man had been sent to Korqin. He had been watching his caravans keep moving back and forth for several years. Although the news of Hutchison's victory was always heard, the old man had not yet understood this power.
Hutchison developed too fast, not only did outsiders not understand the details, but they could not keep up with Hutchison's development speed. For example, Emperor Aoki was afraid of Hutchison's time, but he just felt that the power of this business was too large and should be restricted. I am afraid that Emperor Aoki would not even imagine that in two or three years, Hutchison had captured so many tribes on the grassland and formed an elite army of more than 100,000 people.
Emperor Tianqi could not imagine it, and of course he could not keep up with Huji's footsteps. Even Huji's own people were the same. This was the case with the old man in front of him. When he saw hundreds of red cavalrymen appearing in front of him, thousands of Qianqi cavalry following him with orders from behind. The eyes of the old man in Huji's business were moist.
In this alien world, Hutchison began with a pure caravan and a pure image of a businessman, and bullying and contempt were inevitable.
The Mongolians are quite contradictory groups. As individuals, these Mongolians are quite simple and hospitable. They welcome strange guests from afar in the felt bag. They will use all their own things to entertain guests, which is completely different from the tricks of traveling in later generations.
But as a whole, they may be rude or cruel. They are now quite down and out, but they still maintain the pride and self-esteem of the Yuan Dynasty.
Indeed, the Mongol Empire was the first huge empire formed purely by violent means that emerged from ancient times. It also had similar empires and similar historical figures, such as Alexander the Great, and Caesar of Rome, but their achievements and the territory of the empire cannot be compared with the Mongols.
The territory of the four major Khanates has occupied more than half of the Eurasian continent, which is an unimaginable achievement.
As a descendant of this great empire, it is not surprising that it has its own pride, but this kind of pride will inevitably hurt others, especially the Han people who are generally despised by the Mongols, who are deeply harmed by it.
There are also many Han people who were fleeing over in the Korqin tribe, including their descendants.
Every time I enter the territory of the Ming Dynasty to plunder grass valley, I not only plunder food and money, but also everything the Han people use, but of course, the Han people also include Dingkou.
The Neikhal tribe, Chahar, Korqin tribe, and various tribes have a large number of Han people.
They put horses and shepherds for the Taiji people, acted as hard labor, and were bullied and oppressed.
There were more Han people in Qingcheng, and there were more Han people on the entire grassland than later generations imagined. By the late Qing Dynasty, the control of the Qing court weakened, so the Han and Mongols fought each other, and many Mongolians died at the hands of the rioting Han people.
Although the Hutchison people were sent by the alliance forces, they were also Han people. In recent years, they have encountered such disgusting discrimination and cold eyes.
Today, I can see the Hutchison army coming in front of me, and see the Korchin cavalry like dark clouds lowering their once noble heads on horseback. The proud faces that they once domineering in front of the Han people were full of humility, both noble and ordinary herders.
The old man from Hutchison saw it and tears filled his eyes, an indescribable feeling of emotion and a natural sense of pride surged in his heart.
The Jurchens' expressions were very complicated, and they never expected to see such a scene.
After Hongyun, a large number of cavalry followed, and more than 5,000 cavalry formed a semicircular array. Obviously, this was a manifestation that the Hutchison cavalry did not fully trust the Korqin people.
These cavalry came out from the lower reaches of the Zhaer River in the Greater Xing'an Mountains and arrived at Glejurgen City after three or four hundred miles. There were countless pastures and burned felt bags along the way. The resistance of the Korqin people was easily defeated. More than 30,000 cavalrymen died at least about 2,000 people, and 20,000 people ran away. There were only more than 10,000 people and the scattered nobles who fled to the vicinity of Glejurgen City.
There are many cases where the war cannot continue, and the people of Korqin are already quite familiar with this.
A cavalry hunting officer rode his horse and slowly moved forward. This was a tall and thin soldier. Although he was far apart, Shu Mu and Tan Tai could also feel the strong military aura of each other.
This is the kind of confidence and unruly temperament in every move, as well as the straight waist, the kind of alertness and random blending of the hand pressing on the waist.
The Korqin people on the opposite side also met, and more than a dozen Taiji rode their horses forward together. When the two sides were about twenty steps apart, the Korqin people dismounted one after another.
These may be all the highlights in history books. Like what happened in Kulun, Massachusett and Ketuhan City, the Mongolian nobles once again surrendered to the Han people's Hutchison, and under the military vanguard and horse hooves of Hutchison, they lowered their proud heads, and another large Mongolian tribe surrendered.
This is not the first time, but it can almost be counted down.
Now the only thing left is Chaharwanhu and the ones in front of you. The surrender of the Korqin people was the beginning of the surrender of the eastern Mongolians. There would be a snowball-like reaction below. After these subordinate tribes surrendered one after another, it would be only a matter of time before Lin Danhan's failure was.
In fact, many of these Taiji have left their names in history books. The most famous ones are Ming'an Taiji and Oba Taiji who are at the forefront, as well as the sons of Oba and Min'an Taiji. These Taiji were originally of high status and powerful and quite arrogant. They also received corresponding respect and treatment from the Jurchens when they fell into the arms of the Jurchens.
Of course, the psychology of Korqin people is very complicated, and they are even quite depressed.
The three Khans of Mobei were at least engaged in a alliance with Zhang Han. He was the helm of Hutchison and is now a famous figure.
In front of the Korqin people, there was only a cavalry hunting sergeant, and the leader of the so-called advance team. They were not a big figure in the Hutchison system at all. It would be better to push Liu Fuyu out of the way with such a person. After all, the other party was also a middle-level Hutchison officer.
Unfortunately, there was no choice for such a thing. After the Korqin people dismounted, the tall and thin Hutchison officer deliberately paused and asked the Korqin people to walk forward for several steps before he slowly dismounted and walked forward.
Another officer also dismounted and followed, and the two sides stopped five or six steps away from each other.
Ming Antaiji bowed first, and Omataiji and the nobles after him all saluted to the chief sergeant of Hutchison.
Zhang Xianzhong bowed his hands, and his waist was not bent deep, so he could only be considered a half bow.
This attitude is quite proud, but no one dares to question anything... the winner is not criticized.
"On behalf of the Korchin tribe, I welcome the Supreme Hutchison Merchant Army. We are willing to sworn together. Since then, the two families have been friendly and will never attack again." Oba Taiji said the welcome speech listlessly. Of course, even he himself may not believe these words.
Zhang Xianzhong had a stern face without any expression of excitement. In fact, Zhang Xianzhong was so excited that he was dying.
I was convinced that I forced the alliance and things went very smoothly!
