Chapter 743 Robbing money, robbing grain, robbing grasslands!
After finishing off the two lamb legs, Li Mingchen had a large pot of water boiled.
Tea leaves, mare's milk, shredded ginger, salt, and all sorts of other ingredients are thrown in, and a big pot of hot mare's milk tea is freshly made.
"Come on, everyone, have a drink. After we finish, let's figure out the next unlucky rabbit."
There are too many tribes, big and small, on the grasslands, and their names are all over the place.
The Zhao Mao Tu tribe, Tao Jun Tu tribe, and Tang Tu tribe are basically named as such because they are near Zhao Mao Tu Mountain, Tao Jun Tu tribe is closer to Tao Jun Mountain, and Tang Tu tribe is closer to Tang Tu Mountain.
For example, there was a famous Khan named Ligdan Khan at the end of the Ming Dynasty. His official title in the Ming Dynasty was "Huduntu Khan", and his Mongolian title was "Khutuktu Khan".
The small tribe that was looted by Li Mingchen and his men is now the Zhao Mao Tu tribe.
"The strength of the deserter rabbit is about the same as that of the fleeing rabbit."
"So we'll use the same method as before. Morigen will lead his men to impersonate Kökö's men and go to the fleeing rabbit tribe to control their leader. Batu, Bayan, Suhe, and Has, you guys lead your men to surround them. Uliji, Baiyin, and Chaogetu, you three lead your men to keep watch on the outside."
"But to escape the army, we have to go around Dushan."
“There’s a Hulusitai tribe to the west of Dushan, let’s rob them together.”
"Once we've finished looting Hulusitai and the fleeing rabbits and Tangtu, we should be able to gather all the bows and arrows."
"We can also replace those inferior horses while we're at it."
As Li Mingchen finished speaking, Morigen and the other eight newly appointed centurions, including Batu and Bayan, nodded in agreement.
When it comes to war, we should just follow the young master's arrangements.
Li Mingchen and his eight hundred cavalrymen devoured meat and loudly plotted how to deal with the next tribe.
The herders of the Zhaomaotu tribe, who were tied up, were plunged into deep despair.
The tent was burned.
The cattle and sheep were slaughtered.
The grain and horses were stolen.
Even the carts were dismantled and burned by the bandits.
The leader of the Zhao Mao Tu tribe has now truly become a leader, for his head has been chopped off and hung on a wooden stick, silently watching the end of the Zhao Mao Tu tribe.
In their despair, the herders who attracted the rabbits were also filled with a sense of existential confusion and doubt.
The herders of the Zhaomaotu tribe still remember their chieftain's dying words: "You traitors to the Eternal Heaven, the Eternal Heaven will surely punish you!"
But why hasn't the Eternal Heaven sent down punishment yet?
Why did that Mongol named Morigen betray the Eternal Heaven and join the Ming people in killing and burning on the grasslands?
Next, will he follow the tradition of the grasslands and drag out and kill everyone taller than a cartwheel?
The herders of Zhaomaotu were filled with despair, confusion, and resentment, yet they could do nothing but silently await their unknown fate.
Until Li Mingchen walked up to them with a smile.
To these herders, Li Mingchen's face revealed a devilish smile.
"I have heard that there is a tradition on the grasslands that when two tribes fight, the winning tribe will kill the person in the losing tribe who is taller than a cartwheel."
"However, I think this tradition is not good. Why don't we lay the wheels down?"
Lay the wheels down?
The tradition on the grasslands is that two tribes fight each other, and the winner kills the person taller than a cartwheel in the loser's tribe.
Lay the wheels down...
That means they won't even spare newborn babies?
The bound herders trembled, their eyes involuntarily drawn to a car wheel lying on the ground not far away.
Li Mingchen gave a very wicked smile.
"However, you're lucky."
“The master said that you are also ordinary people who have been oppressed, and that you are descendants of Chunwei, the son of Xia Jie, and that you share the same origin as me. You cannot be treated like short and ugly people.”
At this point, Li Mingchen suddenly changed the subject and said, "You know how to get to the interior, right?"
"I will give you a token later and leave you enough food for the journey. Take my token to Xifengkou and try to enter the pass from there. Then go to find Geng Xingming, the magistrate of Zunhua County. He will take care of you first."
"Don't worry, once the master has finished conquering the grasslands, he will return and distribute the land to you."
"From now on, I will honestly follow the master to farm and herd sheep, and honestly work in the workshop to earn money. Not only will I be able to eat my fill and stay warm, but I will also no longer have to worry about natural disasters."
"Of course, you can also go to other tribes and see if they are willing to take you in."
The herders of Zhaomaotu tribe were once again plunged into confusion.
Instead of knocking down the wheels, they left behind tokens and food to allow the Zhao Maotu tribe to enter the pass, and even promised to divide the land among them?
As for seeking refuge with other tribes...
just forget it.
Although the number of people recruited by the rabbit-raising department was not large, there were still more than five hundred.
Without cattle, sheep, food, and tents, the Zhaomaotu tribe, with its 500-plus members, became an enormous burden, enough to drag down any tribe of similar size.
Not to mention that the grain left behind by this Ming official was far from enough to support the Zhao Mao Tu tribe in their search for refuge with those large tribes.
Going to Xifengkou and then trying to cross the border was practically the only way for the Zhao Mao Rabbit tribe to survive.
but……
Isn't the Zhao Mao Rabbit tribe's current predicament caused by this devilish person in front of us?
Destroy the Zhao Mao Tu tribe, then send them to the interior of the pass.
He got to play both the good guy and the bad guy.
What exactly did the Rabbit Recruiting Department do wrong?
A white-haired herdsman finally lost his temper and roared at Li Mingchen, "Demon! You are a demon! The Eternal Heaven will surely punish you!"
Seeing the bewildered, desperate, and hateful eyes of the Zhao Mao Tu tribe herders, Li Mingchen simply chuckled and said, "So the Eternal Heaven can only protect you, but can sit idly by and watch us be oppressed by the Hu Yuan, is that it?"
"If not, then why didn't the Eternal Heaven punish Hu Yuan when he occupied our land to use as pasture?"
"If that's the case, then what's the use of such a powerful Heavenly Emperor? A Heavenly Emperor who bullies the weak and fears the strong, do you think it dares to challenge the knife in my hand?"
The herdsman's expression grew increasingly desperate, and he kept muttering, "The Zhaomaotu tribe didn't provoke you, the Zhaomaotu tribe didn't provoke you."
Li Mingchen sneered, "The Zhao Mao Tu tribe didn't provide Kökö Tölö with grain and cattle? If you really want to complain, complain about your chieftain and Kökö Tölö!"
At this point, Li Mingchen's expression turned cold once again.
"I am now a scholar, and I value self-cultivation. If you dare to argue with me again, I'll knock over your carriage wheel!"
After reprimanding the herdsmen, Li Mingchen turned his attention to Morigen and the others.
“Leave them some food.”
"Knife in hand, follow me!"
"Rob money, rob grain, rob grasslands!"
As soon as Li Mingchen finished speaking, Morigen and the other eight hundred cavalrymen perked up, shouting, "Follow the young master to plunder money! Plunder grain! Plunder the grasslands!"
