Daming heir

Distant Liaodong.

The snow on the mountain tops has not yet melted, but the forest is already full of life. With the arrival of spring, everything is revived.

On the cultivated land outside the mountains and forests, people began to plow the black fertile soil according to the custom of the Central Plains.

Unlike today's lively grasslands, Liaodong seems to have been peaceful for a long time.

The different ethnic groups living here have reached a certain tacit balance.

In the Nuergan area north of Liaodong, primitiveness is the theme here.

In order to rule the Northeastern region, the Yuan Dynasty established the Marshal's Office for the Eastern Expedition here. Mongolians, Jurchens, Jili charming, Kuyi people, Daur people, and Han people lived here together.

Collecting in mountains and forests and farming on plains are the means and methods that people in the Northeast rely on to make a living.

The Ming Dynasty invested very little force in the area north of Liaodong, with only sporadic guard posts stationed there, which more showed the Ming Dynasty's position and status as the suzerain here.

Even Liaodong, which is separated by a wall, needs to strictly follow the tax system formulated by the imperial court, collect money and grain here, and send floating officials to govern the place.

In the Nuergan region of Northeast China, which is separated by a wall from Liaodong, both the Ming army and the officials have a symbolic meaning.

Here, the Ming Dynasty only collected some local products such as sea greens, mink skins, horses, pearls and other local products as proof of its rule over this vast northeastern region whose area had never been calculated.

It was only in the past two years that the Ming Dynasty's tentacles began to extend through Liaodong Xingdusi to the Nuergan region in the northeast.

The Ming Dynasty still did not levy taxes, but it began to build official post stations on the roads with the most traffic, and stationed post soldiers and soldiers.

The purchasing power of Ming copper banknotes here is very strong.

However, Ming's intervention here has been limited to this so far.

The Mudanjiang, Suifenhe and Changbai Mountain areas became an important gathering place for the Jurchens because of their proximity to the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong and Li's Korea, as well as the fertile land and abundant mountain forests.

This place was also officially called Jianzhou Jurchen Department by the Ming Dynasty.

The origin of Jianzhou Jurchens originated from the Jurchens under the jurisdiction of three Wanhu Prefectures who migrated to the former home of the Bohai Sea Bin Prefecture in the Yuan Dynasty.

After the fall of the BC Yuan Dynasty, the Jurchens in Jianzhou also used the three Wanhu Prefectures of the BC Yuan Dynasty as their tribal names.

Huli changed the Jurchen tribe, the Odoli tribe was Jurchen, and the Towen tribe was Jurchen.

Among them, the first two have the greatest power and influence.

Northeast Nurgan, a riverside in Jianzhou.

The ice on the river has not yet completely melted, but it is no longer possible for people to walk on the ice.

Danger abounds in all unknown places and areas.

In addition to the dangers posed by the ice on the river, the swamps scattered on the plains are also terrifying places for swallowing people.

The Siberian tigers, Siberian leopards and other large carnivores that have been hungry for a whole winter in the mountains and forests have also accumulated the last bit of strength in their bodies, waiting for some unlucky human to step into the hunting area, and then hunt them with all their strength as the new spring. the source of strength.

"Agu!"

"Agu!"

A few crisp children's voices came from behind the grassy slope by the river.

Standing on the river bank, Agu always wanted to test whether the ice was solid at this time. When he heard the voice calling him, he couldn't help but retract his feet that he had just stretched out, and looked back at the grassy slope on the bank.

I saw a few children with rough red faces, money rat tails on their heads, furry leather hats, and well-dressed children, rolling down the slope while cheering.

Agu frowned: "What are you doing here?"

"Your father and the leaders were discussing something. I heard that the leader of the Huli Gai tribe and the leaders of their tribe were about to arrive. We had time to sneak out."

A child about the same age as Agu shouted and explained, with an expression on his face that he was excited because the adults had to discuss things and had no time to take care of their homework.

Agu still frowned: "Spring is about to begin, you have to hurry up and start running on your horse."

The child shook his head: "No need to run. Once the Ming Dynasty wipes out the Tatars on the grassland, we can go horse racing on the grassland."

After all, Liaodong is not a place to stay for a long time. The savages in the north will often come out of the deep mountains and old forests to kill the Jurchens living here.

The grassland is vast enough to accommodate everyone in Oduo.

The grassland is the best place for horseback riding.

Agu still shook his head: "This is our home and the future home of our descendants. We should not leave here."

The leading child raised his arms, clenched his fists and punched the air several times: "The Ming people have already formed an alliance with us. This time the Ming Dynasty attacks the grassland, we have also begun to gather people and horses. Then we can follow the Ming Dynasty." It was picked up and missed on the grassland."

Agu still shook his head.

He is the eldest son of the leader of the Oduoli tribe, and will be the future leader of the Oduoli tribe. He knows far more than the sons of the leaders of these tribes.

Seeing Agu's silence.

The leading child stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Let's go for a ride to the south today. I heard that there are many new Ming people there."

They are all twelve or thirteen-year-old children. At this age, some unspeakable things will always happen.

Agu felt a little helpless, but since these people had tasted the fishy smell, they were like wolf dogs in the forest, always noisy.

"People from Huli's reform department are here today. Maybe they will ask us to come over and practice riding skills."

Agu reminded in a low voice.

The child opposite him frowned, thought for a while, and felt that something made sense, so he could only let out a long sigh.

Then he stretched out his foot and kicked it hard on a pebble on the ground.

The pebbles lifted off the ground at a fast speed and flew straight to the river.

Following a crisp sound, there was an echo from under the thin ice on the shore.

Then I saw where the pebble fell. The entire ice surface was broken. As the river water surged under the ice surface, the broken ice surfaces began to squeeze each other. In the end, many of them were pressed into the surrounding ice layer. Below, floating in all directions in the river under the ice.

Agu looked at the disappointed expressions on the faces of the others behind him and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If the Odor Department wants to develop, it cannot do without the support of these people's parents and their future generations.

Agu said softly: "If you wait a little longer, maybe no one will be able to take care of you in a while."

"Really?"

Agu nodded hesitantly: "It should be."

Hearing the answer from the leader's son, the children in the surrounding area immediately burst into cheers.

They imitated the posture of riding on horseback, with one hand in front and the other behind, constantly flapping downwards, their bodies moving forward, and rushing towards the slope of the shore.

Seeing that his playmates of the same age had all left, Agu looked back at the thin ice on the shore, and finally gave up the dangerous idea.

He took steps towards the tribe.

Soon, Agu returned to the tribe.

At this time, the Oduoli tribe was already very lively, probably because the Huli Gai tribe leaders and leaders from Gobi were coming over, and the women in the tribe had started preparing food early.

The aroma of food fills the entire tribe and can be smelled wherever you go.

Agu stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

I heard that the food Akito eats is the most delicious thing in the world, and I don’t know if I will have the chance to taste Akito’s food.

After thinking about it, he had already reached the house of the leader of Oduoli.

The leader's house is easy to recognize.

The best-built and largest house in the middle of the tribe belongs to the leader.

The house is large because in addition to living in it, it is also used for discussion.

Agu returned home.

I saw that several other leaders in the tribe had already arrived, and my father Meng Temu also sat in the position of the leader.

Agu saluted and stood aside politely.

Meng Temu glanced at his son, his eyes a little more kind: "Agu."

"Yes." "Have you practiced today?"

"I've already practiced riding horses and archery."

Mengtemu nodded with satisfaction, and then briefly glanced at the tribal leaders present with a somewhat showy look.

The leaders just chimed in and praised a few words casually, and then lost their mood completely.

Mentemu also quickly returned to today's topic.

"Ahachu is my uncle, and he has been very helpful to our Odoli tribe over the years. The reason why he brought the leaders of the Huli Gai tribe here this time must be because the Ming Dynasty is attacking the Mongols."

Meng Temu spoke softly, his eyes a little solemn.

The Jianzhou Jurchens had an alliance with the Ming Dynasty to jointly deal with the Mongols.

The Ming Dynasty has taken action now, but what about the Jurchens?

"The Dingliao guards from Liaodong Dusi have already begun to move towards the Tieling Guard area. Dongning Guard and Haizhou Guard have arrived at Crow Falcon Pass, not far from us.

We feel that Ming Dynasty should want us to send troops to attack the Mongols together. "

Meng Temu nodded: "I think so too, and Aha's visit this time should also be to discuss how to deal with the Ming people's request that we Jurchens send troops to attack the Mongols."

"Fighting the Mongols is Mingren's business. What does it have to do with us?"

In the room, a leader yelled and cursed.

Meng Temu looked over, a little helpless on his face.

This is his younger brother Hui Hou, his right-hand man in Oduo.

Huihou continued: "Just let Ming and the Mongols fight each other. We will stay here and do nothing. No matter who wins, we need to stay here."

Mentemu glanced at the tribal leaders in the room.

This was Huaihou's intention, but obviously it was also the idea of ​​these leaders.

In recent years, the Odor tribe has traded tribute with the Ming people, and the tribe's power has greatly improved. Just a few years ago, it even accepted tens of thousands of households granted by historical Korea.

For a time, the tribe's power increased greatly.

Some people start to want to have fun, while others think that they should continue to accumulate strength in order to become stronger and be able to do more.

But in short, it is impossible to fight the Mongols with the Ming people.

Meng Temu sighed and said: "But we have an alliance with the Ming Dynasty. The movement of the Dingliao guards can be said to be to guard against the Mongols, but it should not be done by the Dongning Weihe Haizhou Guards to Crow Falcon Pass." .”

The crowd fell silent for a while.

The hidden meaning behind the mobilization of the Ming army is obvious.

Dongning Guard and Haizhou Guard combined have more than [-] troops, all of which are well-equipped troops of the Ming Dynasty.

When these people arrived at Crow Falcon Pass in Liaodong, not far from Oduoli, there was only one possibility.

That is to coerce Odor's troops to send troops and cooperate with the Ming Dynasty to attack the Mongols.

War is bloody.

There was no one present who was not willing to fight for the sake of Odor.

But fighting and bleeding for the sake of the war between the Ming and the Mongols is something that all the Jurchens in Odo are unwilling to accept.

Hui Hou patted the table and said, "The worst we can do..."

"Report!"

Outside, a loud shout interrupted Waihou's shouts.

Then the announcement came.

"The leader of the Huli Kai tribe, Aha, came out and the leader arrived."

Aha comes out.

Mengtemu raised his head and looked out the door expectantly.

Although Huo'er Abe and Audolibe are two Jurchen tribes, their relationship is very close.

As an uncle, Aha has also taken care of and guided Meng Temu over the years.

He hoped that the arrival of Ahachu this time could point out a clear path for the Odor tribe.

however.

The sounds outside did not stop.

It seems to be some accident.

The voice from before entered the room with some fear.

"Xie Ba, the commander of the Ming Dynasty Liaodong Capital Division, has arrived!"

The last word came, which was shouted very loudly by the Odo people outside the house.

Mentemu stood up in vain, his eyes dazed.

After him, all the Audoli leaders in the room also stood up.

"Go out and meet!"

I don't know who shouted, but Meng Temu reacted immediately and led everyone out of the house quickly.

to the outside.

Meng Temu couldn't help but look in a daze.

I saw that the tribe was already crowded with soldiers from the Ming Dynasty.

At the front, a burly general was sitting on a strong war horse.

This person is Xie Ba, the commander of the Ming Dynasty's Liaodong Capital Division who is in charge of Liaodong!
Xie Ba, he lives up to his name.

He is tall and powerful, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an awe-inspiring temperament.

He kept quiet, holding the reins in his left hand and pressing it on the horse's back, holding the riding crop in his right hand and placing it on the back of his left hand.

Seeing Meng Temu and others walking out, Xie Ba just glanced at them lightly.

His eyes were full of contempt and condescension.

however.

No one thought anything was wrong at all.

This is the coach that Ming Dynasty arranged in Liaodong, and he is also the most capable person in Liaodong Dusi.

Meng Temu felt a little uneasy and looked sideways in the crowd to search for Aha Chu's figure.

After a while, I found Aha De, who looked helpless in the dense crowd.

"The commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty Liaodong Capital Division has arrived!"

From Aoduoli's department, a registration call came again.

Only this time, it was shouted by a soldier beside Xie Ba.

The soldier's face was full of pride, his head held high, and he wished that everyone in Odo could hear it.

Meng Temu's heart was shocked again, and he immediately led his men forward quickly and arrived in front of Xie Ba's horse.

bang bang.

Meng Temu and others waved their robes and knelt heavily on the ground.

"My servant, Meng Temu of the Oduoli tribe of Northeastern Nuerqian Jianzhou, pays homage to the commander-in-chief of the capital."
