Chapter 457 Borrowing a knife to kill(2/2)

Compared with the savings of Khan and the nobles below, the property of these ordinary herdsmen and cavalrymen was pitifully small. The tent was burned last night, and many herdsmen only had that tent, and some didn't even have tents. According to several guides familiar with the grassland, these herdsmen and cavalrymen were actually slaves of Tumot Khan and the nobles below. They had no livestock property, and they relied on grazing and fighting for the nobles above to barely maintain food and clothing.

Those who have freedom are those who directly belong to Tumot Khan. These talents are barely considered free people, and they can only be said to be barely forced.

Therefore, these herdsmen on the grassland are not loyal. But if they are single on the grassland, they cannot cope with the horse bandits and the bad situation. They can only rely on this authority. In other words, whoever has a big fist will surrender to whom.

On the fourth day, the official Alslen of the matter brought more than a hundred confidants back to the golden tent of the Tumot tribe. During these three days, both the cavalry and the herdsmen were terrified, and the heads of Tumot Khan and his guards were hung on the flagpole in the center of the camp.

These heads will not be fake, because these vicious invaders carried the entire captive camp with their spears. Tumot Khan died and no one would be sad for him. Anyway, another Khan would be chosen, but anyone who has relatives and relatives with Tumot Khan, who have inheritance rights, was caught by these invaders and chopped their heads. Everyone was worried that these invaders would start killing.

After a few days, it was finally possible to determine that these people were all Han soldiers from the Ming Dynasty. The young shepherds who wanted to relive the glory of their predecessors were afraid that the other party would commit a massacre. After all, the two sides fought each other so tragically back then. I am afraid that this time it would not be a pity.

At noon on the fourth day, these trembling prisoners saw the quarrel of the prisoner's camp with compassion on his face. This was a wise man from the Tumot Khan tribe, and he must be a person who could do it.

Alston, the official who was a judge of affairs, also has noble blood. Legend has it that his ancestor was Genghis Khan's groom, the descendant of the old trusted minister, and was a descendant of the prime minister during the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. He also had considerable power in the Tumot tribe. When he saw this Alslen return, his relatives and slaves looked outside with hope.

It was a coincidence that the Han general in majestic armor and the judge of the matter, Lord Arslen, were talking outside the prison camp, although he could not hear anything. He could indeed see the actions of both sides.

The Han general was extremely majestic in every move, while the noble Lord Alslen was complaining and begging in a low voice. The two sides must have bargained for the treatment of the prisoners. The judge of the matter, Lord Alslen, is really an envoy sent by the Heaven of Eternity and our savior.

Although I couldn't hear it, all the prisoners who were watching it were extremely moved. In the end, they were obviously in a deadlock. The Han general spoke louder and louder and pointed. But Lord Arslen took a step back and actually knelt down.

Lord Arslen has done too much for the Tumot tribe. He usually buys salt and iron for everyone, but now he prays so humbly for everyone's survival.

The Arslen tribe members, confidants and slaves were loudly promoting the compassion and righteousness of the officials who made the matter, and many of them were moved to tears.

The white-bearded and white-haired old Duanshi really shocked the arrogant Han general. The general took a step back and politely helped the old Duanshi up, raised his hand and made a call. Both sides were going to go to the tent to talk. The Mongolian prisoners were all quite excited, and it seemed that there should be a turning point.

The conversation took a long time and it was almost dark. Looking at the blushing look of the judge Aarslen, everyone knew that something must have happened.

The Han soldiers drove away the Mongolian prisoners and built a wooden platform. Then several old officials of the sacrificial officials stood on the wooden platform with the sacrificial officials. Alslen raised his voice and explained all this to the prisoners below.

It turned out that the Ming Dynasty received news that the Jurchens in the northeast wanted to join forces with Chahar, Korqin and Tumote tribes to attack the Ming Dynasty, so the Ming army had to take the initiative to attack to avoid trouble.

When the prisoners below heard this news, they were all cursing. When Suli plundered the Ming Dynasty, the Jurchens only fought with Chahar and the Korqin tribe. When was the turn of Tumote tribe to take advantage, the only one who was unlucky was the Tumote tribe himself.

But they forgot that they could say anything. The cavalry of the border towns rushed in and set fire to the Ming Dynasty, but the feud between tribes is sometimes superior to everything. Since the respected officials who died in the matter said so, the cause of this tragedy must be the damn Chahar and Korqin.

Of course, the Chahar tribe was the co-leader of the Mongolian tribes and the direct descendant of the Golden Family. No one thought of this at this time.

The official Duanshi Ahlung said again, and he had just made a great oath to Changshengtian. The other party's Han general believed in his explanation. He knew that the mistake was not on the Tumot's side. As soon as the old Duanshi Guan finished speaking, he heard a burst of cheers from below. The captives all thought they had gained freedom.

Before he could finish his words, the stupid Tumot Khan sent someone to rob the salt of the Ming general. He originally wanted to kill all the people, but due to the hard plea of ​​the old official, the other party now asked for ten times of compensation according to the rules on the grassland.

If there is such unruly looting among the Mongolian tribes, the party who commits the crime will compensate the party who loses ten times the compensation. The rules do have this rule, but that is based on the strong side of the party who loses, and this has nothing to do with the principles and rules.

But these Han soldiers nowadays seem to be qualified to follow the rules. How to compensate Tumot's gold, silver and treasures have been plundered.

The old official said that in addition to punishing the Tumote tribe, the army that came this time would also attack the lawless Chahar and the Korqin tribe. The male men who could ride horses in the tribe could all repay the loss by fighting for the Han people.

At present, the location of the Golden Treasure is actually a large prisoner camp. There are almost more than 12,000 male men who can fight on horseback. When they hear that they can be exempted from being executed, they will go to fight. Fighting against hostile Mongolian tribes is much better than fighting with these Han soldiers with iron and firearms on their bodies.

"As long as you can fight bravely, after each battle, in addition to the compensation share, the spoil will be distributed to everyone. After the battle, the soldiers who have made merit will be turned into free people based on their military achievements, and can be divided into livestock and robbed slaves..."
