After dawn, Zhang Han found that the Later Jin delegation had left. It might have left before dawn. The Mongols were still solemn, and the wooden city was in chaos. Zhang Han asked to see Oba to explain his intention to leave. Oba readily agreed and decided to send a team of cavalry to escort Zhang Han's caravan to the Jurchen realm.

From Korqin to Hetuala, you can only go southwest and enter the original territory of the Ula tribe, then go south along the Ula River and then enter the Suzi River Basin, where Hetuala is located.

These places have been captured by the Later Jin Dynasty, and Niulu is set up to guard the place. Recently, the only remaining Yehe tribes in the four western tribes of the Jurchen Sea have been frequent and often crossing the border to invade. The Ming army is also gathering heavy troops, and the troops are gradually mobilizing from western Liaoning to Liaodong. On the border line between Kaiyuan and Qinghe Fort and then to Fushun Pass, heavy troops gathered and waited for the Ming Dynasty and Liaodong.

While the Mongolians were preparing, Zhang Han, Liang Xing and others had already finished preparations, watching more than 100 Mongolian cavalrymen in the outer city placing saddles and checking horseshoes.

After watching for a while, the Zhao brothers, Duoer and others looked at each other, and then whispered to Liang Xing for a moment.

Liang Xing walked to Zhang Han and sneered: "These Tartars are really interesting. They travel more than a thousand miles back and forth. They don't have many water bags and dry food, nor do they bring tents and bedding. They only care about inspecting weapons and bows. Duoer and the others said that these guys had bad intentions."

Huang Taiji estimated that Zhang Han could see something strange on the way, but he really underestimated Zhang Han and his entourage.

From Zhangjiakou to Qingcheng, to Halashen, Kalaqin, Khalkha, Balin, Arukorqin, Nenjiang Korqin, a journey of 4,000 miles apart, there were more than a dozen horse thieves encountered, and the Mongolian tribes were not a single piece. There were many big and small Taiwanese people who were hostile to Zhang Han and others or covet their wealth. On the way, even rookies became veterans, not to mention that Duoer, Li Congye and others were originally veterans in the border army.

Zhang Han frowned and looked at the group of people. There were more than 100 Mongolians, and they were all Arctics. Zhang Han and others placed the carriages and horses on the Bahrain tribe. If the other party suddenly attacked and started a sudden attack on the way, without the car array, even if he could win, he would probably die.

"Where do you think they'll do it?"

"I think it should be on the Yidan River."

"Where are Duoer and the others?"

"They are not familiar with the geography, but after talking to them, they also felt that they should be there."

Zhang Han had a map of Liaodong purchased from the capital channel, and he took it with him before leaving. The Ming army fought with the Jurchen tribes and Mongolian tribes in Liaodong for more than 200 years. In addition, the territory of Nuergandus was originally located to the extreme north, and even Sakhalin Island had a simple map, not to mention near the border wall. In this regard, Liaodong is much stronger than Jizhen and Shanxi.

This map also needs to be revised and supplemented. Wang Anping, Liang Xing and others have been surveying and mapping all the way, trying to supplement some obvious geographical trends of mountains and rivers.

From Korqin to the Ula tribe, the most obvious dividing line in the middle is the Yidan River. After crossing the Yidan River, it is the tributary of the Songhua River and the Wula River, which is the current territory of the Later Jin Kingdom.

If the action is too early and the risk of exposing this matter is too great, Zhang Han and others were protected by Bu Shitu Dakhan and Namuertaiji. If the leaked news, it will cause a stir within Mongolia. All tribes from Tumote to Kalaqin will be very dissatisfied with Korqin, and may even be hostile to each other. It is worth doing this for the life of a Han merchant.

The Yidan River is the middle area, with a vast land and sparse population. Apart from some sporadic herders and fish-skin Tartars, there are almost no decent Jurchen hamlets or ranches where the Mongols gather. It is the best choice to do it there.

At this time, the Mongolians were finally ready. Several armies rode over and called Zhang Han and others to walk up the road. Zhang Han did not show any expression, nor did Duoer and others show traces. They rode their horses in front, the Mongolians were in the middle and behind, and a large group of people walked out of the wooden city, stepped through the felt bags scattered in the pasture, looked at the herds of cattle, sheep and horses in the corral, and gradually raised the horse's speed. The horse's hooves were trampled on the soft yellow turf, gradually increasing the speed. By the time of noon, Korqin's pasture was already far behind.

In the evening of the next day, it was still half a day away from Yidan River.

The scenery now is obvious where forest plains and rivers intersect. The pure large grassland no longer exists, and there are uncultivated fertile black soil everywhere. Here, it was the territory of Jilin Province in the early Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, it was once the territory of Nuergandus. On the Ming map in Zhang Han, it was once the territory of Bushihanwei. Behind them was the old land of Taining Wei. At the beginning of the country, the three guards of Taining Fuyu Duoyan occupied a vast territory and obeyed the mobilization of the Ming Dynasty's border vassal kings. The famous Jingnan Battle

At that time, the cavalry of the Three Guards, under the command of King Ning who was stationed in Daning, accepted the command of King Zhu Di of Yan, and made great contributions to Zhu Di's defeat of the Southern Army and finally obtained the throne. Because of this, Zhu Di later took the initiative to abandon Daning and handed over hundreds of miles of land to the Mongols. The consequence was that Liaodong was out of control, the three guards were enlarged, and the power expanded. Next, the land of the Nuergandus Office, which had a radius of millions of kilometers and hundreds of Dushi Guard Offices were forced to abandon them. Although the so-called governors and commanders here were also barbarians at the beginning of the country, they only recognized the rule of the Ming Dynasty in the form of tribute.

Before dark, everyone stopped at the old toes of a ward.

This may be the old land when the Ming army managed Nuergandusi more than 200 years ago. It was built with several rows of rammed earth. There was a small site. It was now covered with grass, the walls of the houses were still there, the roof had long been decayed and disappeared. There were also several houses with wooden beams, but they were also decayed.

Zhang Han stood on the school ground where the decayed grass was coming to life, looking at the rows of decaying houses behind him, and there seemed to be the sound of golden drums, the sound of people practicing, shouting, and the neighing of horses in his ears.

More than 200 years ago, the Ming Dynasty came into being. The Han people holding bamboo poles rose up bravely, from south to north, using simple weapons in their hands to fight against the Mongolian cavalry that once rampant in Eurasia, and eventually drove foreign robbers out of their hometown. Not only that, they also chased and died north, captured Helin, and fought to the sea of ​​fishing, and went south to Yunnan, where few Han people lived at that time, completely stabilized the southern border. In Liaodong, in addition to restoring the former land of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the Ming Dynasty's royal army continued to go north. After building strong cities such as Shenyang and Liaoyang, and built border walls, hundreds of Dushiwei stations were set up in the north. Liaodong was centered on Guangning, Daning, Liaoyang and Shenyang, supporting the border wall defense line. Outside, multiple tribute roads were built, and inside were built garrisons within the border walls. The land in Liaodong was finally handed over to the hands of the Han people.

"Nuer Gandusi, it's a pity..."

Zhang Han came back to his senses and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Nearly half of the land in the entire Nuergandusi later became Jilin and Heijiang Long provinces, while half of the land remained outside the country forever.

Unfreezing ports and sea outlets, a large amount of forest land and mineral resources...

Zhang Han smiled again, feeling that something was wrong with his emotions.

When he saw the group of Jurchens earlier, he felt that he should be happy.

Traveling thousands of miles eastward is nothing more than building a stable smuggling business road to Liaodong before the Shanxi merchants set up for smuggling. This is the biggest source of wealth in the next twenty years. If you grasp this business road, you will never have to mention your wealth. The hidden political investment guarantee you have is more important than family wealth.

But when he saw the rat tail of money and a gray arrow robe with his own eyes, he thought that the Chinese would be forced to keep such hairstyles and clothes in the next three hundred years, be killed by spirits, and then fall behind for a full hundred years, be beaten for a hundred years, and think of those things, although Zhang Han always warned himself to stay away from politics and be a pure profit-seeking businessman, no matter what, he really couldn't be happy.

Even, he felt that he had implicit hostility towards that group of Jurchens and could not suppress it.

This is very fatal, and Zhang Han reminded himself again.

Liang Xing came over and asked, "Master, the Mongolians asked where we live?"

Zhang Han said: "We live by the river, it is easy to wash and use water, so they live anywhere."

Everyone began to prepare to settle down. Although the sun was still halfway up the mountain, it would be dark in less than half an hour. Everyone first washed the war horses and fed the war horses with the light. Someone picked up firewood on the ground. In this sparsely populated forest plain, there were dead branches everywhere, and it was easy to pick up a large group.

Chang Wei and Li worked as a few people holding fishing hooks, not even fishing rods. The few people lined up in a row, took off their shoes, and stood in the river that was knee-deep, and started fishing. In just a few minutes, Chang Wei smiled and lifted the fishing line. A huge white fish twisted happily in the air, and everyone was laughing.

The Mongolians looked at it from a distance and turned their heads and left. They respected Haizi, big and small on the grassland, and never took a bath all their lives. The sheep on their bodies were so terrifying that they were so terrifying. The sluts of the Taurus were not purely nonsense by the Han people. They did not rely on water to fish, and of course they would not eat fish. They would rather drink horse milk and eat dry beef.

Chang Wei and others caught more than a dozen fish in a short while, washed them and put them in a pot to cook. Soon the umami smell floated in the air.

Zhang Han and others sat on the ground, with dry food still hot in the pot, mixed with dried rice or dry steamed buns, added with cured meat slices, added a little salt, and ate it in fish soup, which was extremely delicious.

Everyone has lost interest in hunting barbecue. Along the way, I have eaten barbecue hundreds of times, and even the people I like are still very tired of.

At this time, the sound of horse hooves came, and everyone stood up suddenly.

This is the junction of Korqin and Jurchen. There is almost no trace of anyone except a few Tartars fishing on the river. Maybe there is no sign of a person walking dozens of miles. At this time, the sound of horse hooves came, which made people particularly wary.
