Chapter 10: Reluctant Decision
Yun Zhao’s strategy did not succeed.
Autumn has just begun, and the surrounding princes have already moved their tribes to the Autumn Pasture.
They can go to Qiuri Pasture, but Duoyan tribe cannot go to the foot of Yinshan Mountain, nor to Chile River.
Here, the Duoyan tribe is strong. In Yinshan, the Duoyan tribe will only be killed by other tribes as enemies.
Yun Zhao was riding a horse and standing on the grassland, the wind blowing in the distance was already carrying a hint of chill. Within a month, the grass here will wither and turn yellow.
Duoyan, which lacks the protection of Yinshan Mountain, will face a harsh winter.
Winter on the grasslands is not easy, especially on the flat prairie. In winter, the wind and snow here are too heavy.
Two feet of snow will bury the grass. In such an environment, even the strongest livestock cannot eat the grass under the snow layer.
In order to push away the ice and snow, the hard ice and snow will cut the lips of cattle and sheep, and then the wounds will be damaged by the cold and eventually die.
Most of the Mongolian food comes from cattle and sheep. They value food derived from cattle and sheep, such as milk, more than meat.
So, without cattle and sheep, the Mongolians would have no food.
Grazing is actually a high-risk way of survival, which is much higher risk than growing crops.
So, for many years, those who herded cattle were not as wealthy as those who farmed.
Yun Zhao was not very concerned about what the Mongolians ate. What he saw along the way from Lantian County via Henan to Shanxi and finally to Zhangjiakou was enough to forge his heart as hard as iron.
This group of people who have lived on the grassland all their lives naturally have their own way of survival.
He is just worried about Gao Jie who is about to leave Lantian County.
Lu Xiangsheng took over Hong Chengchou's defense line and officially took office as the governor of Xuanda. It was impossible for Gao Jie to enter Mongolia from the Zhangjiakou area.
Yun Zhao used to believe that people should have the beautiful sentiment of sadness when a rabbit dies and a fox dies. Unfortunately, he saw Shanxi people eating tree bark and grass leaves. The bark and grass leaves are gone after people eat each other.
His heart was really getting colder... Especially after discovering a mother cooking her daughter on the road... Yun Zhao no longer felt that there was anything good about Li Zicheng leading troops into Anhui. Weird.
It is not surprising that Zhang Bingzhong commanded 200,000 troops, held Cao Cao hostage, Lao Huihui and other fierce bandits pretended to attack Xiangyang, and then filed into the river.
It is not surprising that Huang Taiji proclaimed himself the emperor in Shengjing, founded the country under the name "Qing", opened a literary museum, set up grand ceremonies, established court rituals, and divided the world.
So, Yun Zhao felt that no matter what evil things he did in this world, he could be forgiven.
It’s just that, as Xu Yuanshou said, only those who can stick to their true intentions at this time can be called human beings.
If you abandon this point, people will be worse than poisonous snakesWhat if the beast becomes a king? A king sitting on a throne made of dry bones can only be called the Beast King!
The people he rules are beasts...with no glory to speak of.
Xu Yuanshou's words made Yun Zhao very painful. In fact, he sometimes wanted to be the king of beasts...
Now, Huang Taiji has obtained the Jade Seal of the Kingdom and finally defeated Shenyang Zhongwei. He was changed to Shengjing, and then he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor.
In another half month, all the tribal kings on the Mongolian grasslands will surrender to Huang Taiji and send the Mongolian Lama Mergen to carry the four Mongolian sacred objects on white camels again. ——The golden statue of Mahakala Buddha came to Shengjing to present to Huang Taiji, so that Huang Taiji could build four more temples in the four directions of Shengjing, southeast and northwest.
If it was the idea of the Mongolians to present the national jade seal to Huang Taiji, and it was Mongolian Lama Morgan’s idea to present the golden statue of Mahakala Buddha to Huang Taiji the year before last, then, The dedication of four golden statues of Mahakala Buddha this time is the collective surrender of the Mongolian princes.
What is the general trend of the world?
This is the general trend of the world. On the one hand, the Ming Dynasty is in danger, with smoke everywhere. During the years of great famine, an additional tax of three million taels of silver was imposed, and the people were miserable.
On the other hand, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is like the rising sun, slowly rising from the horizon. Quite unstoppable.
Yun Zhao is now at the junction of light and darkness.
Even if all the Mongolian princes in the world surrendered to the Manchus, Yun Zhao believed that the Duoyan tribe could not surrender!
"Where has the Golden Buddha gone?"
Yunzhao is preparing to rob the Golden Buddha. Although the Mongolian princes from all over the east, west, north and south have dedicated the Golden Buddha, it is possible that he passed through the Duoyan tribe There is only one golden Buddha.
"This is the cruel plan of the Kru tribe." Qian Shaoshao and Yun Yang stood in front of Yun Zhao, feeling a little depressed.
“What do you say?”
“They deliberately brought the Golden Buddha through the Duoyan tribe’s territory, hoping that we would rob the Golden Buddha and anger the Jiannu. Let Jiannu take care of us."
"So, they will send a large number of people to escort them, right?"
"No, there is only a team of more than a hundred people, but that's it. , the leader is the Mongolian Lama Mergen!
If we snatch the Golden Buddha from Mergen, all the Mongols in the world will be our enemies. "
"In other words, if we snatch the Golden Buddha from Morgan, all Mongolians should know that there is still a group of Mongolians who refuse to surrender to the Qing Dynasty, right?"
"We snatch it Where should the golden Buddha be placed? It can't be melted down and used as gold, right?" Hearing what Qian Shaoshao said, Yun Zhao smiled, patted Yun Yang's iron armor, and said with a clanking sound. : "Put it at Yushan Academy. I will do the work myself this time. You are not suitable to go."
Yun Yang just wanted to ask Yun Zhao why he was not suitable to go, but was stopped by Qian Shaoshao.
"WhileIt hasn't snowed yet, so you go to Yinshan Mountain, and I'll wait for that monk Morgan. "
As soon as he went out, Yun Yang asked Qian ShaoShao the reason.
Qian ShaoShao frowned and said: "The young master seems to have a fire hidden in his heart. At this time, let him put out his anger. It's better to vent it out. "
"Is he still angry about the little girl who was thrown into the pot by her mother? Thinking about it, his hair almost stood up when he saw that scene. ”
Yun Yang is not stupid. He has been with Yun Zhao for a long time. He knows when Yun Zhao is really angry and when he is acting.
Qian Shaoshao is worried. Said: "It was because of this incident, but not because of this incident. I think he took the matter of the little girl almost being eaten by her mother upon himself. He may have thought it was his fault!
I don’t even understand why he would think so.
We, a group of people, have been working hard to save people. Lantian County is now like a paradise. This is all due to us. Why is he so sad?
This time the robbery of the Golden Buddha may not be appropriate. It exposed our existence prematurely. Even if we use Barthel Merlin as a cover, after doing this, Barthel Merlin will definitely become the target of public criticism. , and became a thorn in Jiannu's side.
It is not conducive to our foothold in Mongolia.
Yun Yang laughed, looked at Qian Shaoshao with disdain and said: "You think too much. Today's Mongolians are just a bunch of people who only care about fighting but not about eating. We have already come to the grassland." It’s been half a year, haven’t you seen it clearly yet?
The Jiannu dared to kill the Mongols, so the Mongols surrendered to the Jiannu. If we killed more Mongols, the Mongols would also surrender to us.
Now that we have captured the Golden Buddha, even if Jiannu wants to cause trouble for us, it will be next year, when Gao Jie brings our troops back.
Grandpa can’t wait to have a real meeting with the slaves on the territory of the Mongols.
You have been thinking about it all day long and it is not good for you. Grandpas themselves are thieves. How can you not eat the meat that comes to your mouth?
Since Azhao has already made plans, we will take people to Yinshan Mountain, plunder the population, cattle and sheep, and spend a comfortable winter first. "
Qian Shaoshi looked at Yun Yang's bald head and said, "We are all ashamed of being thieves, but you are actually proud of it?"
Yun Yang touched his bald head and laughed: "Yun has been a thief for hundreds of years. Grandpa is a descendant of a thief. He would never dare to disgrace the name of our ancestors." ”
Qian Shaoshao looked back at the tent where Yun Zhao lived, and then at Yun Yang who was striding forward to summon his brothers to prepare for a big fight.
He was fiercely He punched his head and said to himself: "I don't want to give up my life when I have some pots and pans at home. ”
After saying that, he got back into Yun Zhao’s tent and said to Yun Zhao who was writing a letter: “We still can’t come forward. Others should come forward.For example, the merchants in Zhangjiakou! "
When Yun Zhao heard this, a smile appeared on his face and he said: "Among the remaining big merchants in Zhangjiakou, who do you think is suitable to take the blame for us? ”
