Huang Yi has always been a diligent person who is not afraid of hardship.
Coming to this era, I realized that riding skills and martial arts were very important, it was a matter of life and death.
He firmly believed that if he practiced hard day and night for three or two months, he would definitely be able to shoot and cock the crossbow while riding a horse at full speed.
If you have the skills to fight on horseback, then you're welcome. There can only be horse thieves like Huang Yi within a radius of 500 miles.
Huang Yi knew the injuries of the five Mongolians, including Esunzhaqin and Dumbu. As long as they were not infected, they would be cured in a month or two, and the possibility of becoming disabled was relatively small.
It is unknown whether there will be any unforeseen sequelae.
Guest horse thieves always need to organize some good riders.
Esonzhaqin and Dumbu were originally elite members of the original Harbala tribe and Kachagute tribe. They had rich combat experience. After saving a life, their psychological endurance would definitely be greatly improved.
As long as two or three of them can fully recover, Huang Yi's rescue will not be in vain.
Moreover, there are six or seven teenagers between the ages of 12 and 15 in their family. These teenagers are born with the seeds of cavalry. Everyone can ride and shoot, but they are just young and lack strength.
The cavalry must be formed. How could the cavalry team be without Mongolians who are skilled in bows and horses?
The battle in which Hedanbaat'er led his troops to attack Crow Bahai's troops was extremely difficult.
At that time, the Amuguleng brothers stayed with Huang Yi to guard the camp.
There were eleven Mongolian knights originally affiliated with Huang Yi. Nine of them, including Charahe, Gerda, and Yamoboli, followed Hedanbaat'er to attack the enemy.
Two people were lost, and there are seven left. Among them, Chalahe, Gerda, and Yamoboli, Huang Yi specially took out leather armor and added them to them.
It was only because they wore two layers of armor that arrows could not penetrate, that they saved their lives.
There were no households without children, and the six families became five. The women and children of the two families without children were assigned to the two brothers Amuguleng and Charahe.
This is the law of the grassland. The Amugulen brothers, Charahab and others accepted that women and children must bear the responsibility of raising them, and they are the children's father and the woman's husband.
Mongolian women don't have the same dogma as Han women: "It's a small matter to starve to death, but it's a big deal to lose one's integrity!" They say, "It's a big deal to die of starvation, but it's a big deal to lose one's integrity!" They never commend "chaste women".
The Amguleng brothers were originally from the same household, but that was because Agudamu failed to find a wife.
Agudamu was different after he became Hu Xiaochuan. He went from being discriminated against to being highly sought after. He had a woman, and he had two of them all at once.
He also had two children, one of whom was a woman, and Hu Xiaochuan became their father.
This woman was originally from the Hedanbaatar tribe. The reason why she remarried with two children was because her husband died in the war and she had no nephews or brothers to inherit the widow, orphans, and inheritance.
She was relatively familiar with Agudamu and felt that this young man had a good heart, so she was willing to live with Agudamu with her children, cattle and sheep, two yurts, and many belongings.
The other woman was actually a trophy, one of the women of Kachagute's eldest son.
Because Agudamu has made great achievements in battle, and because Huang Yi has a greater reputation.
So Hedanbaat'er not only rewarded Agudamu cattle, sheep and horses, but also a handsome woman.
Huang Yi speculated that it might be Agudamu who showed his fighting ability and made Hedan Battelle look up to him.
This led Hedanbaatar to review his previous attitude towards the Agudamu brothers, and in order to repair the relationship, he increased the rewards.
Of course, this is just speculation. It is unknown whether Hedanbaatar has many ideas.
After adding five more Mongolian families, Huang Yi has ten families with a total of more than 80 Mongolians. Counting the wounded who can recover within half a year and the teenagers who can fight on horseback, Huang Yi will have at least 18 and at most 20 Mongolian cavalry.
In the future, they will definitely be able to conquer small Mongolian tribes and absorb the surrendered Mongols.
Huang Yi thought about it. The Amuguleng brothers, Tsarahab, and others who will lead the Mongols in the future will still use cold weapons and give full play to their expertise in riding and shooting.
Only equip the Han people with firearms and train them to use muskets and artillery.
Now! Owning artillery is like a pipe dream.
But you can still use your brain to get a few matchlock guns, which the Ming Dynasty now calls "bird guns."
Half a month later, the migrating team finally arrived thirty miles outside Guihua City.
There were Han merchants in the city, and the Hedanbaat'er tribe had to exchange more than half of their cattle, sheep, and horses for tea, salt, beans and wheat, cotton cloth, iron pots, soju, etc.
At this time, it was already a year ago that the slave chief Taiji conquered Chahar. Although Lin Danhan suffered a defeat, his strength still cannot be underestimated.
Guihua City is still in the hands of Lin Danhan.
It is natural that Hedanbaatar's trade will be exploited, but no one thinks that it is wrong and should resist!
Huang Yi did not dare to instigate the Hedanbaat'er tribe to resist the tax, because Lin Dan Khan could mobilize tens of thousands of troops no matter what. The Hedanbaat'er tribe had a total population of only more than 2,000. Wouldn't resistance be courting death?
There are many Han merchants in Guihua City, and they are involved in all kinds of businesses.
Huang Yi also came to the specially set up market outside the city to look around. He didn't come to see the exotic customs or the excitement, but he wanted to conduct transactions.
He has a lot of gold, silver, and some gold jewelry, so purchasing power is not a problem.
The question is whether you can buy what you want.
Not only that, he also had to find merchants willing to purchase the heads of Jiannu and Tatars.
Although the heads of Jian slaves and Tatars were priceless and unmarketable within the customs, the dozens of heads Huang Yi had in his hands could not be overstated as rare items.
But it is in vain for the seller to find a buyer.
Huang Yi didn't bring too many people with him. He was followed by the Huxiaogu brothers, Huang Dazhi, Huang Dapeng, and Zhang Dong.
Make it a habit to bear weight.
Therefore, the five people accompanying them all wore armor. The two brothers Hu Xiaochuan wore iron armor and cotton armor, with arrows on their backs and Mongolian scimitars on their waists.
Huang Dazhi and Huang Dapeng also wore iron armor lined with cotton armor, carried bows and arrows on their backs, and held iron shields, leather shields, mountain axes and sabers in their hands.
Zhang Dong was different. He didn't have iron armor, only leather armor and cotton armor, and he had a Qi Dao as a weapon.
Huang Yi habitually carries a backpack covered with deerskin, and a folding engineer shovel storage bag covered with sheepskin hangs around his waist.
He did not take any weapons of this era, but used a pair of iron arms to strengthen the defense of his arms.
This pair of iron-armed hands is only 35 centimeters long. It covers the arm from the wrist to the elbow. It is very strong. It was originally the equipment of Kachagute.
When Huang Yi led Huang Dazhi and others into Kachagute's yurt to collect the gold and silver treasures, they discovered this pair of iron-armed hands made of steel.
After putting it on, I found that the size was just right and I didn’t take it off.
