Chapter 535: The Land of Farming and Warfare
The winter in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty was much colder than in Liaodong.
Tuta County is located near the border line, but because of the strong Mongolian Yuan, this county town has not experienced war for many years.
The county town has a population of only 20,000 to 30,000, not too many, but it is very prosperous.
The local area is dominated by the Mongols and Yuan people, and there are also a small number of Han people.
The Mongols walked out of the Baishui and Heishan Mountains, and were originally fishing and hunting. However, after learning from the Han people, they gradually focused on farming and opened up a large number of fertile fields outside the city.
But in winter, the men of Mongols who were idle would also bring bows and arrows into the mountains in groups to hunt.
The Han people in Liaodong were divided into military households and civilian households. Almost every household in the Mongolian Yuan people was a military household, not a household registration.
Instead, they are strong family styles such as dancing guns and sticks, shooting arrows, riding horses, etc. Their children learn martial arts, riding skills, bows and arrows from their parents, and when they grow up they become war soldiers.
The Mongolian Yuan rewards farming and fight, and obtains land, wealth and women through military achievements.
The current imperial system of the Mongols and Yuan people is similar to that of the Chu State, but the customs are similar to that of the Qin State back then.
There is a family in the city whose surname is Tuhar. It is not a big surname in the Mongolian Yuan, but a small surname in the local area.
In Tuhar Mansion.
Forty-three-year-old Mihaniu stood in the yard, supervising his three grandsons to practice martial arts. He was a veteran of the battlefield and retreated from the army as a centurion. At the same time, he also retreated with one of his left eye and two fingers.
What I received was the mansions in the city, the land outside the city, women and wealth.
Mihaniu's three grandsons, the oldest, the oldest, the youngest, the youngest, the youngest, were strong and dark-skinned. They stood in a row and played with wooden knives.
"Everything is done for me. Our Tuhar family only has warriors and no cowards."
"My property will only be left to my eldest son. Your father's property will only be left to your elder brother. If you want land, women, and houses, you have to join the army yourself, gain military merits, and steal the Han people."
"A coward has no future, he is only worthy of dying from hunger, cold and sleepy."
Miha Niu's expression was very strict, and combined with a one-eye, it gave people a very strong sense of oppression.
At least in the minds of the three children, his grandfather was completely a tiger.
But while they were afraid, they also longed to become a tiger.
Only a powerful tiger can tear the prey to pieces. A weak sheep will only be torn to pieces by a tiger.
We must practice martial arts, join the army and become war soldiers, and then go south to seize the Han people, women, wealth, and land.
As long as the knife in your hand is strong enough, you can get rich and wealthy.
The three children used their strength to practice sword skills continuously. Each of them was like a wolf cub, full of howling momentum.
"Um."
Mihaniu nodded with satisfaction. This is my baby. When he was sixteen years old, he could be sent to join the army.
By obtaining military achievements, bringing back Han women, money and land, you can spread your branches and leaves.
Sooner or later, our family will become a prominent family.
"Master, lunch is ready." A middle-aged woman dressed in Han Dynasty walked over with her eyebrows down.
Her name is Wang.
It was stolen by Mihaniu back then, and now it is a concubine in the mansion. It is said that she is a concubine, but in fact it is similar to a maid.
Han women are only worthy of giving birth to a baby.
"You practice for a while. You can eat again after I eat." Mihaniu raised his eyes and yelled at his grandchildren, then turned around to have a meal.
At this moment, a Han slave walked in from outside, bent down and said, "Master, the county magistrate, please invite me."
"Hmm?!" Miha Niu frowned, showing a look of surprise.
As a centurion retired from the army, he had a certain political status. He was like a Han squire.
If the county magistrate needs it, he will also consult him.
But very few.
"Prepare the horse." Mihaniu did not dare to delay and immediately ordered. Then he did not want to eat anymore, and strode towards the door, turned over the horse, and took two Han slaves to the county government.
After arriving at the main hall, Mihaniu was even more surprised.
In addition to the county magistrate Li Yan, there were a lot of people. There were more than a dozen people including the county government chief, retired centurion, and thousands of men.
"Mr. County Magistrate." Mihaniu came to Li Yan and bent down to salute.
"Sit." Li Yan nodded and asked Mihaniu to sit down.
Li Yan glanced at everyone here and felt a little broad-minded. Li Yan was just his Chinese name. His Mongol Yuan name was Haigar.
His family is also different from ordinary Mongolian Yuan families.
Most of the families of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty were passed down through martial arts and had a strong family style. However, some study families gradually formed, and the bureaucrats were produced.
His family is this kind of reading family.
Li Yan is very good at being an official, but she is not aware of war, but at least she has no experience.
"Someone came to report. A warrior of about three thousand-man commanders appeared near the county. I had not received a transfer order in advance and didn't know about this army. I thought it was a bit strange, so I ordered the city gate to be closed.
Yass runners, guard the city. What do you think?"
Li Yan asked in a deep voice.
At present, there are no garrisons in Tuta County, but there are three hundred yamen runners.
As soon as Li Yan said this, everyone in the main hall started to talk, and the atmosphere was very relaxed.
"Mr. County Magistrate, you are too worried. Now we have 100,000 households fighting in Liaodong. The front is in Liaodong. The army that appears in our Mongolian Yuan must be our own people. There is no need to worry too much."
"Yes. Although there is no transfer order, it looks a bit weird. However, the army is sometimes very sudden. Without transfer order, it is possible."
Military intelligence gathered in the past prince Chunyuan.
No one specifically reported the news to the small border town of Tuta County. So the people in this city didn't know that Puguli had been killed.
In the eyes of everyone, the war was still controlled in the Liaodong area.
Let’s talk about it.
Even if the ten thousand households failed in Liaodong, they completely retreated to the Mongolian Yuan. The Han people reoccupied Liaodong. Do they dare to attack the Mongolian Yuan territory?
They are tired of living.
Kill as much as you come.
Our teenagers are just warriors. How do they fight with us?
The fighting nation is not a vegetarian.
There should be no Han general who is confused and leads his army to pretend to be a Mongolian Yuan warrior. Come to our place.
But there are also a few people who think this matter should be cautious.
Miha Niu is one of them.
Mihaniu thought for a moment, raised his head and clasped his fists at Li Yan and said, "Mr. The Han people have a saying, "Be prepared for any trouble."
"I think it's right for you to close the city gate. Let's watch the wall first. If this army is passing by, let them go."
"But at the same time, you can order to recruit a thousand warriors. Add three hundred yamen runners to guard the city without losing it. Be prepared for any trouble."
As soon as Mihaniu said this, others despised him.
"Miha Niu, when did your courage become so small?"
"Yes. You are getting more and more timid as you get older. This is our army. How can Han soldiers dare to appear in the Mongolian Yuan?"
Mihaniu was unmoved and just looked up at Li Yan.
