In the Oduo tribe, as the leader Meng Temu knelt down, all the people in the Jianzhou Jurchen Oduo tribe knelt down.
There was silence in the tribal gathering place.
Except for Ming's war horses, which made a few impatient gasps from time to time, there was no other movement.
Xie Ba, the commander of Liaodong Capital Division, enjoyed the scene in front of him very much.
As the highest military general stationed by the imperial court in Liaodong, he had absolute power to rule outside Shanhaiguan.
This absolute right to rule includes the right of life and death over the entire population of Liaodong and Northeast Nurgan.
Praise the court.
The court is always so considerate.
Knowing that Liaodong was far away from the imperial court, he gave Liaodong such absolute power.
Xie Ba silently worshiped the court in his heart.
Then, he slowly lowered his head and looked at Meng Temu, the leader of Odori, who was kneeling in front of his horse.
"The war between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian Tatars has begun."
This was the first thing Xie Ba said after he came to Oduoli.
The tone is calm, but it gives people a majesty that cannot be rejected.
Meng Temu felt a little depressed. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at Xie Ba, who was sitting high on the horse and represented the Ming Dynasty in exercising power in Liaodong and the Northeast Nuergan.
"My servants and tribesmen have heard about it. Today we have invited the leader of the Huli Kai tribe to discuss jointly sending troops to assist the Ming Dynasty in attacking the Mongolian Tatars."
Daming was so powerful that they could not lift him up. They could only kneel in front of Daming as a slave and regard Daming as the master of the entire Oduoli tribe.
No!
It’s not just Odor.
The Jurchens throughout the Nurgan Jianzhou area in Northeast China regard the Ming Dynasty as their master.
Meng Temu felt helpless.
In the past, they had to go south again and again because of the savages in the north. Like the Mongolians on the grasslands, they hope to have land like the Central Plains to support the entire tribe.
I heard that behind Shanhaiguan is the carefree land of the Central Plains without any threats.
But until now, he has never seen what Shanhaiguan looks like.
Xie Ba continued: "The Ming Dynasty is a country of benevolence and righteousness. It signed a covenant with you, gave you shelter, provided you with food, grass and clothing, so that you can live and multiply on the land of Nuergan. According to the covenant, you should Send troops to assist the Ming Dynasty in attacking the Tatars."
Meng Temu immediately lowered his head: "Please remember, I will lead the tribe to the battlefield soon."
As the leader of the Oduori tribe, it is Mengtemu's greatest mission and responsibility to lead the entire tribe to survive.
Considering the power that Ming Dynasty now invested in Liaodong, he had to behave submissively.
However, Huihou, who was kneeling next to him with his head lowered, had a look of anger on his face.
Akito is always cunning.
A few years ago, it was easy to say that many benefits would be given to the Jurchens in the Nurgan region of Northeast China to involve the Mongols from the east.
But over the past few years, the benefits and things provided by Daming have become less and less. In the tribe, more things need to be taken out in order to exchange for food and materials to survive.
Nowadays, in the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Mongols, the Jurchens are required to rush to the front.
This is obviously to use the lives of Jurchens to create the success of the Ming Dynasty.
"Winter has just passed and we are running out of food."
Huihou raised his head and looked directly at the commander of the Liaodong capital on horseback.
Meng Temu's heart trembled, he immediately looked sideways, stretched out his hand and gave his brother Huihou a hand.
The majesty of the Ming Dynasty cannot be doubted.
There is another saying from Ming Dynasty: Everything comes from the Supreme Being.
They, the Jurchens of the Odoli tribe, only need to obey the orders of Mingren. As for the remaining Mingren, they will consider it. If they do not consider it, then they, the Odoli tribe, will have to solve it themselves.
Begging.
In recent years, it has been no longer within the acceptable range of Akito.
But what makes Mentemu strange is.
Xie Ba was not dissatisfied about this.
Xie Ba, who was sitting on the horse, even smiled, waved and said: "Thirty thousand stones of food and grass are in the areas of Anle Prefecture's Thirty Thousand Guards and Liaohai Guards. Jianzhou Huli Kaibu, Oduoli, Tuo As long as people from the Wen tribe send troops north to assist the Ming Dynasty in attacking the Tatars, they can get food and grass there."
Ming Dynasty prepared thirty thousand shi of food and grass.
This news surprised Meng Temu and Aha who met Xie Ba on the way to Oduoli.
The amount of thirty thousand stones was just enough to be divided equally among the three Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou.
Ming Dynasty seems to have already made a plan to urge the three Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou to send troops to assist in the battle.
In an instant, Meng Temu thought of it. When he and his people arrived in Anle Prefecture and received 10,000 shi of grain belonging to the Oduoli tribe from the Ming Dynasty Thirty Thousand Guards and Liaohai Guards, he immediately asked someone to escort half of the grain back to the tribe. inside.
With this food, the Odoli region will usher in a development this year. It will have more energy to cultivate more land, raise more cattle and sheep, and go hunting more in the mountains and forests.
"I thank you for your gift."
Mengtemu knelt on the ground and worshiped devoutly.
Xie Ba just had a slight smile on his face.
It’s just 30,000 shi of food and grass. What Ming Dynasty is most in need of now is food and grass.
But whether the Jurchens in Odor can get these grains depends on their lives.
Immediately, Xie Ba spoke and said calmly: "I need two thousand troops from the Oduoli Department, and the Huli Kai Department and the Tuowen Department will be enough as usual."
Although the imperial court did not have much control over the Northeast Nuergan region north of Liaodong, it had already had a deep grasp of the forces here.
The three Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou have similar statistics on how many people there are and how many adults they can fight.
As Xie Ba opened his mouth, he asked Oduoli to send two thousand troops.
Meng Temu, who originally wanted to borrow the food and grass provided by Ming Dynasty this time to continue the development of Oduo, couldn't help but subconsciously raised his head, widened his eyes, and stared at Xie Ba hesitantly.
Hui Hou even said directly: "We don't have that many people in Oduo!"
There was simply no way that Ao Duo could gather the two thousand soldiers and horses that Xie Ba wanted.
If Odo had so many soldiers and horses, they wouldn't be huddled here long ago.
Nowadays, the entire Oduoli department can only muster up to a thousand people to follow the Ming Dynasty and send troops to attack the Mongols.
"Um?"
Xie Ba immediately narrowed his eyes and looked down at Huihou, who looked dissatisfied.
Then he glanced sideways at Meng Temu.
"Can't the Ministry of Odor provide such many troops?"
Meng Temu's shoulders trembled, his heart was full of helplessness, and he squeezed out a flattering smile on his face: "Return to the commander, the Oduoli Department can send up to seven...a thousand troops! We can gather a thousand troops, Follow the Ming Dynasty and attack the Tatars!"
"one thousand!"
Xie Ba bluntly rejected Meng Temu's request and said coldly: "This is my order from Wuyingdian Grand Scholar and Cabinet Minister Tie Xueshi. There are two thousand people, and no one can be missing, whether it is the Aoduoli tribe or the Hu Ligai Department, or Towen Department."
Meng Temu frowned tightly.
It is already difficult to have a thousand people. He also put in the elderly people in the tribe, and he was able to gather them together.
As for the number of two thousand people, no matter how hard Aoduo tried, it was impossible to come up with it.
Ahachu, the leader of the Huli Gai tribe, also walked out from one side and knelt down next to Meng Temu.
Ahachu clasped his hands tightly, raised them high, and bowed to Xie Ba on horseback.
"Dear Commander, we really can't afford so many people. Although there have been no savage attacks in the past few years, the mountains and forests are still full of dangers. In just one winter last year, the Huli Reform Force suffered fifty-six casualties. A warrior.
A thousand people! Even if the Huli Reform Department pulled up the injured and elderly people, they could only gather so much.
The Ming Dynasty was rich all over the world. In these years, it conquered the east and the south and won one after another. The Ming army was the most elite soldiers in the world.
If we have fewer people, it will certainly not affect the war. Please also give me a clear warning from the commander. "
Ahab almost cried.
The total number of Jurchens in the entire Jianzhou territory is only seven or eight thousand.
When Xie Ba opened his mouth, he almost included all the Jurchens in Jianzhou. How could they accept this?
Even if Meng Temu and Aha each promised to send a thousand troops, they already included all the people in their respective tribes who could carry out a knife.
However.
No matter what explanations and requests Mengtemu and Aha gave.
Xie Ba on the horse didn't change his expression.
"This is an order from me, the Grand Master of the Ming Dynasty Cabinet, and no one is allowed to bargain!"
Hui Hou stood up fiercely: "Even if the Ming Dynasty kidnapped all of us, we still couldn't get the necessary number of troops!"
"Wait thick!"
Meng Temu quickly raised his head, glanced at Xie Ba in a panic, and then glared at Hui Hou with shock in his eyes.
He knelt on the ground and climbed several times in front of Xie Ba's horse.
"Commander! Please forgive me, Commander. Hui Hou is still young and speaks freely. Please Commander, please don't accuse him."
"Montemu."
Hui Hou turned his head and stared at his brother with wide eyes.
The atmosphere turned cold in an instant.
Inside Oduoli's headquarters, the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers who entered this place already showed murderous intent.
How long will it take to wipe out the entire Oduoli?
This question suddenly appeared in the minds of many military generals and officers and soldiers.
Just when everyone was waiting for Xie Ba, the commander of the Liaodong Dusi, to give the order, heads would fall to the ground and blood would flow like rivers here today.
Xie Ba laughed, and then said in a cold voice: "In that case, all of you in Oduo can go to the battlefield. In this way, even if the number of people is not enough, I can still win in front of Iron Scholar , explain it to you."
After saying that, Xie Ba finally waved his hand.
The officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately spread around.
A moment later, the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers who came to Jianzhou's Oduoli Department from Liaodong had already surrounded the entire Oduoli Department from the inside out.
"Why does Ming want to force us this time!"
Huihou, as the only Odoli member standing in the audience, shouted with anger on his face.
Meng Temu stood up immediately and gave him a heavy kick from behind.
His foot landed on Huihou's back, causing the unprepared Huihou to stumble and hit the ground heavily.
After doing all this, Meng Temu turned around and continued to kneel in front of Xie Ba's horse.
"Please forgive me, Commander. Huihou has no intention of disobeying orders."
Xie Ba just smiled slightly. In his eyes, these Jurchens were no different from corpses.
Although he was a military commander, there was no need to expend such effort to kill a few more dying people.
Xie Ba waved his hand: "Since you understand, just follow the military orders. Everyone in Oduoli will pack up supplies and follow the imperial army to the vicinity of Hulun Lake."
After finishing speaking, he just remembered and looked at Ahachu who was dragged into the team by him: "I have already sent officials from Liaodong to the Huli Reform Department, so you don't have to go back. Follow me and you will be on the way. meet."
After saying that, Xie Ba ignored the Jurchen here and turned around on his horse to leave.
As the top general sent by the imperial court to guard Liaodong, Xie Ba was strictly and faithfully fulfilling the orders issued by his superiors today.
"Order, Xie Ba, the commander of the Liaodong Capital Division, recruits all Jianzhou Jurchens and all Haixi Jurchens to march west to stop the Tatar royal court."
The military order did not say how the Liaodong Dusi was required to recruit all the Jurchens, nor did it explain why the women and children of the Jurchens were required to go to the battlefield.
Xie Ba was also puzzled as to why Tai Sunxing would receive such an order from there.
In his opinion, the Jianzhou Jurchens, who numbered only a few thousand people, and the Haixi Jurchens, who were even smaller in number, could be completely wiped out by sending only one guard station, so there was no need to bother.
Although it was not stated clearly in the text, Xie Ba knew it very well.
Some people in the court did not want to see Jurchens still existing in this world.
Xie Ba, who came out of Oduo on horseback, frowned slightly and muttered softly.
"Like the Japanese from Yingzhou?"
He couldn't help but think of Tie Xuan, the newly appointed cabinet scholar who was now in charge of the rear affairs of the Northern Expedition.
This new cabinet minister with the title of Human Slaughter is the one who makes finding a Japanese now more difficult than climbing to the sky.
The Jurchens of today are probably just the Japanese of yesterday.
As a result, Xie Ba lost interest even more.
It's really not that interesting to show off one's power in front of these Jurchens who are better off than the savages in the mountains and forests of the Northeast.
Sending them off early is the only serious thing.
Everything can go wrong, but the court's orders can never be compromised.
This is the unspoken political rule of the Ming Dynasty today.
Xie Ba raised his head and looked at the deputy general who was following him.
"Give me the order, no Jurchen can be allowed to escape."
The deputy general immediately accepted the order with clasped fists, and then rode back on horseback.
As for what to do if a Jurchen wanted to escape, the deputy general didn't ask any questions at all.
Turn to a few days.
The twenty-ninth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty.
After completing the Eastern and Southern Expeditions, the Ming Dynasty, which launched the Northern Expedition with national strength, began to comprehensively contain the old enemies on the grassland.
The Liaodong Dusi was ordered to recruit all the Jianzhou Jurchens and Haixi Jurchens and embarked on the road in front of the Tatars fleeing eastward.
