Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 551 Battle of the Prairie
"kill--"

The setting sun in the distance is gradually setting, and the remaining brilliance still refuses to leave. The grassland under the melting snow is moist and juicy, and the flocks of sheep who have been hungry all winter can't wait to eat.

And not far from them, near the ten-foot-wide river, two groups of cavalry began to fight wildly, blood and flesh flying everywhere.

It's just that one side has muskets, and the crackling sound directly stunned the other side. Coupled with the advantage of armored weapons, the other side quickly lost and fled.

"Abu Nai, wait a minute, kid. If you offend the Qing Dynasty, you won't live long."

"Bah, Chachindo, you old man, don't run away—"

Abu Nai laughed wildly, danced on the horse's back, and even raised the short gun as he spoke, pretending to aim at it.

When the old man who was talking to him saw it, although he knew it was wrong, he was still taken aback and finally ran away.

"Just let him go like that? Khan."

The noble on the side said regretfully.

"What do you know, the Khalkha tribe was just driven by the Manchu Qing, and was forced to come south to attack us and fight with them, wouldn't it be fooled?"

A Bu Nai has become much smarter recently, and with a little regret, he put down the short gun in his hand, which was a gift from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

In February of the third year of Shaowu, when the snow on the grassland had just melted, the envoys of the Ming Emperor came to Zhangjiakou, conferred the title of Abu Nai as the Great Khan of Chahar, and ruled over the Chahar tribe from generation to generation.

At that time, he was very angry. He was obviously the Great Khan of Mongolia, but how did he shrink to the Great Khan of Chahar? How is this different from Prince Chahar of the Qing Dynasty?
However, a person who came with him convinced him:
Great Khan, your father Lin Dan Khan was besieged and died by the Mongolian tribes at the beginning, and there is no rush to unify the Mongolian tribes.

Furthermore, if you integrate all the tribes into the Chahar tribe, isn’t the grassland the Chahar and the Chahar Mongolia?

Of course, after adding 10,000 yuan silver coins and five hundred bolts of silk, all dissatisfaction disappeared.

"Mr. Jin, which army is this?"

Abu Nai turned his head and looked at the man who was dressed in a Mongolian robe, but with a gentle face, and said with a hint of curiosity and admiration in his vigilance.

This person is a Ming man, and he said without hesitation that he came to help him. The nobles were very afraid, but Abu Nai didn't think so.

He must be my Yelu Chucai.

"The fifth share." Jin Zeming sighed, glanced at the vigilant Mongolian nobles, smiled inwardly, and said:
"I think it was due to the informants of those traitors last year that the Khalkha tribes were forced to go south. After them, they will be the cavalry who built slaves."

"Mr. Jin, hurry up and ask the Emperor Ming to send more muskets. The enemy is at present, and it is not enough now."

"Yeah, the gunpowder is not enough..."

The nobleman shouted, and even Abu Nai looked expectant.

"Great Khan, everyone, if you accept Da Ming's charity for a long time, wouldn't you be a beggar?"

Jin Zeming put on a gesture and said, "In this way, what is the reputation of the Great Khan?"

Abu Nai agreed with it.

"As long as we use wool, cattle and sheep in exchange for self-sufficiency, we can save the face of our Chahar tribe, and put an end to the framing of those tribes..."

In the Monan area, even including the Chahar tribes, there are stories about Abu Nai being tricked into being a dog by the Ming people.

Although it is true, but Abu Nai is young and energetic, how could he tolerate the Golden Family as lackeys?
Even though he shouted at the top of his voice that these things were bought in exchange, no one believed it.

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Abu Nai raised his head and said, "That's right, the prestige of my Golden Family must not be compromised."

"Mr. Jin, when will Daming's caravan arrive?"

"It will be there in three to five days." Jin Zeming smiled slightly.

The Mongolian nobles on the side beat their chests and stamped their feet, really angry at Khan's innocence.

Even Al Da Khan was canonized back then, do you really think the reputation of the Golden Family is useful?
"Okay!" Abu Nai said happily, "This time we have captured so many war horses, as well as a lot of cattle and sheep, so we should be able to exchange a lot of firearms!"

"Sorry Khan, I don't know these things."

Jin Zeming said sincerely: "My mission is to communicate the connection between Chahar and Daming, and help the Great Khan unify the tribes of Mongolia and become the real lord of the grassland."

"Hahaha!"

This ass is well done.

A Bu Nai laughed loudly, patted his shoulder, and said: "At that time, I will seal you a big pasture and reward you with thousands of slaves..."

After drawing a big cake, Abu Nai left happily.

Jin Zeming smiled in his heart, let's wait until you come back alive from Jiannu's horseshoe!
Sure enough, three days later, a large-scale caravan came, and their guards turned out to be a thousand-man cavalry, exuding an elite spirit.

More commodities dazzled them, and a large amount of wool poured out, which brought a lot of money for the herdsmen.

It seems that in order to strengthen the Chahar Department, there are all kinds of common weapons such as knives and guns, and there are even hundreds of rare leather armors.

And the musket that Abu Nai had coveted for a long time also arrived again.

A full two thousand matchlock guns, and a lot of gunpowder.

This was enough to make the Chahar Department ecstatic.

But Jin Zeming has a lot of worries, which means that the danger of Chahar Department is extremely heavy.

"How many Jian slaves have come?"

Jin Zeming came out as Jin Yiwei, met Xie Xie, the host behind the caravan, and asked directly.

"Five thousand Eight Banners soldiers, ten thousand Mongolian soldiers."

The man said sincerely: "The court analyzed that it is difficult for Chahar to resist Jiannu, so if you return at this time, no one will dare to say you..."

Jin Zeming's heart was moved, and then he shook his head and said: "The current position is hard-won, how can I give it up so easily?"

Besides, I don't believe that the court will give up the Chahar Department at will. These are all money!
What's more, the emperor will never give up easily after spending so much effort in the Chahar Department.

There must be something I don't know, after all, my status is too low.

Although the caravan was huge, the time ended quickly. In just three days, half of the herdsmen from the Chahar tribe arrived, and it was already over.

Loaded with a large amount of wool and other goods, the caravan left Zhangjiakou quickly.

Abu Nai also keenly realized that something was wrong, immediately organized the army, and began to think about countermeasures.

Two days later, a huge cavalry came over the sky and covered the sky. From a distance, it was a black cloud covering the entire grassland.

"Khan, for the Manchus, the grasslands are full of people..."

"Blow the horn, gather all who can ride horses, and take up arms for me--"

Abu Nai deeply realized that the moment to decide his own life and death has come.

But a hundred miles away from Chahar, almost half a day away, Hauge stood on the hillside, looking around, the fertile grassland is mouth-watering.
