After 24 o'clock tonight, by the 30th, there will be double monthly tickets. If you vote for one, you will count on two. Please ask everyone to vote for the last monthly ticket!

Since Zhu Yuanzhang was still alive, the Ming Dynasty attached great importance to the Hami area.

Whether it was Halie or Yilibali, they had to go to the Ming Dynasty for transactions or tribute exchanges, as well as the exchanges of envoys, through Hami.

At the beginning, Hami blocked this passage in order to monopolize the tribute trade relations with the Ming Dynasty, which caused Zhu Yuanzhang to be mad, and naturally he could only surrender.

But this is just a sanctioned person!

...

This is an important strategic node!

But with the rise of the Oirat and the Tatars, the risk of the Ming Dynasty rashly entering Hami would be very high and cost more.

So Zhu Di sent several officials to serve as Ji Shan, which actually represented the Ming Dynasty supervising Hami.

During the period before the destruction of Tatars and Halie, Lin Chu remembered it very clearly that the Han people had a high status in Hami at that time and no one dared to offend them.

But the Halie people came and swept Hami, and all their status collapsed for a moment.

Later, the Ming Dynasty defeated Halie, but Hami was in chaos.

Lin Chu felt that he was a stray dog. He had thought of taking a few horses and then returning to the Ming Dynasty alone.

But those Han people followed him spontaneously, making it impossible for him to give up.

"Sir, those people are here again!"

Someone outside shouted, with panic and despair.

Lin Chu used a wooden spoon to pick up a spoon of black from the pot. He ate it a few times regardless of the scalding, and then tightened his belt and went out.

He shivered as soon as he came out. When he saw a group of men confronting people outside the camp, he shouted, "What do they want?"

Outside the camp, more than fifty Hami people were shouting with knives, proudly.

Someone turned around and shouted, "Sir, it's a damn thing! They said... want a woman!"

Lin Chu was furious and ran over.

The snow in the camp was cleaned up, but it slipped a little. He stumbled and almost slipped several times.

The Hami people were not afraid after seeing Lin Chu, and said in a head: "The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is dead, the new emperor is very young. I heard that he can no longer care about Hami anymore. Do you understand what I mean?"

The Hami people looked at the women with children in the camp greedily, most of them breathing and their faces turned red.

The population source of Hami is very complex. During the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, various populations gathered and gradually merged together.

But Hami's population is too small to raise a hero.

So Lin Chu dared to stay nearby instead of taking people into the forest and eventually becoming a savage.

"No women!"

Lin Chu walked to the Hami person who was leading the way and said, "You have snatched our food. What else do you want to snatch now? Don't forget that the Ming Dynasty is still there."

The Hami man sneered: "When did the Ming Dynasty manage Hami? Thousands of miles away, can the Ming Dynasty send troops again?"

Lin Chu said coldly: "Don't forget the fate of the Oirat, Tatars, and the Halie."

The Hami people looked around and said proudly: "Don't forget, when the Ming Dynasty comes again, your corpses will have been gnawed by wild beasts."

"If you have the ability, go back."

The Hami people said viciously: "Without horses and without food, you will starve to death halfway."

Lin Chu's horse had long been slaughtered as food, helping everyone get through the coldest days.

"Come on your own if you have the ability!"

Those Han people holding weapons would have killed them long ago if they hadn't been afraid of the few people on their side.

Protecting your own woman is a bottom line.

If you lose this bottom line, it is probably similar to the walking zombie.

The Hami people burst into laughter, some people were threatening with long swords, and some were scolding, and their momentum was greatly boosted for a moment.

Lin Chu knew that he could not be weak, so he shouted: "Get out! Otherwise, the king's army will build you into Jingguan!"

Jingguan!

This terrifying invention was revealed at this moment but lost its deterrence.

The Hami people at the forefront smiled and turned around to their companions and said, "He said Jingguan... Can the Ming people still garrison troops here? If they come, let's go, if they leave, let's go back...hahahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Establishing order is difficult, but destroying is easy.

These people can't help it after all!

Lin Chu took a step back and said, "You have found nothing after killing us, but you can't hide the news!"

The Hami man who was leading the way nodded and said, "Be smart, I'll send five women over before it's dark tonight, otherwise..."

The Hami people left, and there was silence inside and outside the camp.

Lin Chu turned around and comforted: "They are just threats. We have encountered such threats in the past many times every month, so go back."

But he knew it was just a comfort, maybe the Hami people would come to raid the camp at night, and then...

He looked at the women and children in the camp and felt very powerless.

There is no food, you cannot move, otherwise most of the people here will starve to death on the road.

A group of yellow-faced men looked at Lin Chu in grief and anger, and someone shouted: "Sir, let's grab one, and then go back to the Ming Dynasty!"

"Yes! Take one!"

"Sir, they are becoming more and more presumptuous. They will definitely take action in no time!"

"They need a lot of people to work in the spring. Adults, are we going to be slaves? Let's fight!"

Lin Chu felt very tired and angry.

His anger was not only directed at these Hami people, but also at the Ming Dynasty.

Why not reorganize Hami's order?

Why don’t you send someone to tell these people that the Hami people are still paying attention to this place!

He was angry and disappointed, and then his stomach roared in his empty stomach, so he became desperate.

"We have no food!"

Lin Chu tied his belt and shouted, "If you want to not starve to death, then go and fight!"

He looked at these Han people and saw despair and violence.

"If you have no way to live, you will die if you don't do it. Prepare weapons, get out the last grain, and have a full meal. Then smash the pot and burn the wooden bowl. If you can't beat it, you'll die together!"

To break the boat, this is an idiom known to everyone in the Ming Dynasty.

So the smell of food wafted in the camp, which was the habit of the people of the Central Plains. They kept the last money and food to save their lives. They should not be used unless they were at the end of their lives.

After this meal, no one was reluctant to leave, and everyone smashed all their belongings.

Man holding weapons, woman staying in the camp with children.

The fire was burning in the room.

"If you lose, ignite the fire!"

Lin Chu finally explained.

Those women nodded, and if they lost, they would fall into boundless hell, and life was worse than death.

...

A group of more than 30 people quietly touched the Hami settlement more than five miles away.

Lin Chu felt a little regretful. If it was in midsummer, he would use fire to attack and then raid.

But now the Hami people's camps are full of snow and water. Not to mention fire attacks, it is a miracle that can be ignited.

He wanted to wait until it was dark, but he was like everyone else and couldn't see clearly even when it was dark.

He burped, savoring the fattyness of the previous piece of bacon, and then walked out of the woods first.

"Did you see those cattle, sheep, and horses!"

Lin Chu's eyes flashed with beastly light and shouted: "Defeat them, all this is ours! Think about your wife and children, eat mutton, ride a horse back to the Ming Dynasty..."

The men's eyes shone and shouted, "Ride back to the Ming Dynasty!"

For them, there is no greater temptation to return to the Ming Dynasty.

The accent of my hometown! How long have I heard it...

So these morale "warriors" set off.

The Hami people in the camp had already discovered them, so they came out to check them out and laughed wildly.
To be continued...
