"Master, wine!"

The Thirteenth Prince took the bag handed over by his subordinates, pulled out the plug and took a small sip, and swallowed the jerky meat that he had chewed in his mouth for a long time.

They have now entered the territory of eastern Mongolia, which is the territory of Korqin Mongolia. Along the way, the Thirteenth Prince was extremely cautious in marching. In order to conceal his traces, they avoided the areas where the herdsmen were located and shuttled through the grassland.

In order to ensure that it is not exposed, the group rarely makes fires. Most of the time they usually rely on eating jerky prepared long ago and drinking horse milk wine. As for the water source, although there are many water sources on the grassland, and there are many of their people who are familiar with the terrain of the grassland, you should know that all areas with abundant water and grassland are often gathering places for herders, so they are naturally inaccessible.

The key to Korqin Mongolia and the Qing court has always been close. The famous Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang came from Korqin, and the Korqin Mongolian Khan of each generation was also the most loyal minister of the Qing court. Compared with other Mongolian tribes, it can be said that Korqin Mongolia was the most reliable one of the Qing court on the grasslands.

Even in the late Qing Dynasty in history, Korqin Mongolia also fought for the Qing court, and the most famous one was Prince Senggelinqin. This person almost participated in a series of internal and external wars in the late Qing Dynasty, and was deeply trusted by the Qing court, and was eventually killed in the battle with the Nian Army.

Now, Kangxi is dead, and Emperor Jianxing succeeds the throne. Korqin Mongolia also expressed support to the Qing court at the first time. So in this case, it was not easy for the Thirteenth Prince to pass through Korqin Mongolia in a swagger. Although his identity is a former prince, who can guarantee that he will not be detained once the other party discovers, and then give him to the Qing court?

It is precisely for this reason that since entering Korqin Mongolia, the Thirteenth Prince and his group have been highly vigilant. They not only avoided the herdsmen along the way, but even gave up taking water in order not to let people find them. There were even accidental encounters of Mongolian herdsmen who were left alone. In order to cover up their traces, the Thirteenth Prince directly ordered all of these people to be killed to prevent these herdsmen from leaking information.

"How long will it take to enter Liaodong?" He stuffed the cork back tightly, and the Thirteenth Prince threw the skin in his hand to his subordinates, and then asked.

"Then it continues to go east and then turn south. According to the calculations of the slave, it will take about three or four days."

It will take three or four days to reach Liaodong. The Thirteenth Prince now wishes to grow a pair of wings and fly directly to Liaodong. However, he also knows that since they walked all the way from Tushetu Khan's tribe, the speed has been slow.

After all, they had to hide their traces along the way and bypass the area stationed in Korqin Mongolia, and could not be discovered by ordinary herdsmen. So the Thirteenth Prince just frowned and soon stretched out again. Isn’t it just three or four days? Ten days have passed. Can’t I hold back these last few days?

"By the way, my master, I don't know if I should talk about something." Just as the Thirteenth Prince was thinking about it, the subordinate hesitated for a moment and spoke.

"What's the matter? But it's okay."

"Master, I feel it's too easy to come all the way." The subordinate said.

"Too easy?" The Thirteenth Prince raised his eyebrows and looked at the subordinate.

"Master, the slave does not mean anything else. I know a lot about the Korqin Mongolia. Logically speaking, the Korqin tribe should be here... here... and here is grazing." As he said, he used his waist knife to draw a simple map on the ground, then circled several of them, and then said: "But along the way, the slave found that the location of his troops was a little deviated, and even the herdsmen in these two places went directly to the west. This was really strange. If the slave had not sent a scout to explore the way forward in advance, we would have almost bumped into each other..."

After hearing these words, the Thirteenth Prince thought about it and could not judge anything for a moment. Although his mother was also considered a Mongolian, he was born in the capital after all, and as a prince, although he was a good soldier, he could really lead the troops to fight in Zhili.

Except for the fact that I knew about Mongolia once when I was a teenager, I didn’t know much more about the grazing habits and activity areas of Mongolian tribes.

"Maybe it is because of the aquatic plants? Aren't Mongolian tribes used to living with water plants?"

"Return to the master, even though that's it, this is actually different. You must know that the aquatic plants on the grassland have their own rules. The directions of the Mongols' migration every year will basically not be much different. Unless the terrain and weather change seriously, we will find new places. But this is obviously not the case along the way. Since this is the case, why did the Korqin Mongolia act like this? You must know how many places are more than a hundred miles apart. I really can't understand such a situation."

After the man finished speaking, he waited quietly for the Thirteenth Prince to speak, but the Thirteenth Prince didn't understand the truth. Moreover, the most important thing for him now is to pass through Korqin Mongolia and arrive in Liaodong as soon as possible. As long as he arrives in Liaodong, everything will be fine.

The reason why the Thirteenth Prince chose Liaodong was naturally because of his reasons. First, Liaodong was originally the place where the Manchu Qing Dynasty was the Longxing. Now that the Central Plains are in the hands of the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty was in a melee, Liaodong seemed more calm. Second, Emperor Jianxing was in Xi'an, while Zhili was occupied by the Ming army, and the Ming army occupied Tianjin Wei, in fact, Liaodong had cut off contact with the center in addition to the Mongolian land. Third, Liaodong had a large territory and was also the hometown of Manchu people. If he could control Liaodong, the Thirteenth Prince could use this as the foundation to compete with Emperor Jianxing, and even had the opportunity to bring the Fourth Prince, that is, the current Prince Yong, to Liaodong, and then build the Qing Dynasty again in Liaodong.

In addition to these three points, there is another more important reason, that is, the current general of Shengjing is Songzhu. Songzhu is from Zhenghuang Banner. In the ninth year of Kangxi, he ascended to serve as a servant. He served as a bachelor of the cabinet, assistant minister of the Ministry of War, commander of the Guardian, and participated in the Northern Expedition of Galdan. Later, he was transferred to Guangzhou General to suppress the rebellion. Later, because of his contributions to suppressing the rebellion, Songzhu moved from Zhenghuang Banner to the Zhenghong Banner and instructed the position of Manzhou as the commander of the commander of Manchu, and then transferred to Shengjing to be the General of Shengjing.
