The Liaodong Army won a great victory in the battle of the grassland, and the Mongolian Khan Bu Boyan was defeated and was chased by Nurhaci and committed suicide.

More than 30,000 people were killed or injured by the 200,000 troops, nearly half of which were captured, becoming the main labor force in building cities and roads on the grassland in the future.

The Jurchen mercenaries became famous in this battle. Although nearly half of the casualties were killed or killed, they achieved the greatest contribution. Li Chengliang did not make any mistakes and distributed the most plump pasture to them.

Since then, the entire desert grassland fell into the control of the Liaodong Army, and the Liaodong Army sold the grassland to the merchants of Nuergandus.

The Jingbei Hou Mansion naturally took over most of the grasslands. Except for the West Mongolian grasslands in the Tianshan Mountains, the local forces of the Jingbei Hou Mansion were spread throughout the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.

The Liaodong army went to war with the Mongols without authorization. At first, the court had the mentality of watching opera. If the Mongols were defeated, they would definitely not have the strength to harass the border of the Ming Dynasty. If Li Chengliang lost, Zhang Chen's Jizhen troops could go north and take over the entire Liaodong.

But the result was a surprise to the court. Li Chengliang defeated the Mongols neatly and sold the grassland to the Jingbei Army, which made the court feel upset.

The Jingbei Army is now strong and powerful, but it is nominally still belongs to the Ming Dynasty and does not obey the orders of the court.

Now there is another Liaodong Army Li Chengliang. Fortunately, they are all in the northeast of the Ming Dynasty. As long as they block Jizhen, they are not afraid of them going south.

This is also the reason why Zhang Chen was defeated in North Korea and was still reused, which was to prevent these two troops from moving south.

But now it’s different. If the Jingbei Army gets the grassland, it means that if the Jingbei Army wants to, it can invade from any side wall of the Ming Dynasty.

Even the Mongols could break through the long Ming Dynasty border, not to mention the powerful Jingbei Army, and the Liaodong Army, which directly made the imperial court a big head.

Originally, the court had planned to do something in the north, so it attacked Qiongzhou and Bozhou in the south, but now it is different. It is hard to guarantee that Li Fan would not have surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao, and directly entered the Ming Dynasty.

In this regard, the imperial court had no other way than to strengthen the border walls and build the treasury. The money in the treasury was spent like flowing water. If Zhang Juzheng had not saved some of his wealth in the past few years, the imperial court would have been unable to hold on.

However, no matter how much money is, it will be spent all. With the emptiness of the national treasury, Li Fan, who was once known as his brother, often sounded.

If Li Fan had not been threatened at the beginning, if he had not had that cup of poisonous wine, if he had...

But everything is assumption. If Xiao Zhu is given another chance, Xiao Zhu will still make the same choice and will not allow anyone to threaten the throne, even if it is just possible.

...

"Marty! Isn't it just a Western Mongolia? How can you do it yourself? When the army arrives, they are afraid that they will not surrender immediately?" Qi Jinqi said disdainfully on the horse.

Li Fan shook his head and said, "Brother Qi! Don't underestimate Xi Mongolia. They were the Oirat Tumu Fort in the battle of the 500,000 Ming troops. Even the emperor was captured alive by them. They were definitely a powerful force!"

What Li Fan didn't say is that more than a hundred years later, the Gordan and his son here fought against the Qing Dynasty one after another, and almost exhausted all the national strength of the whip court, but they were not as easy to deal with as Bu Boyan.

Qi Jin shook his head and said, "Mr. Marquis! We have not only the troops from the Jingbei Army. The herdsmen heard that you sent troops to West Mongolia and brought your own dry food to follow us. There are already 50,000 or 60,000 people now, and there will be no 100,000 people when you arrive in West Mongolia.

With so many people here, you only need to walk in Simongo to level their pastures.”

When Qi Jin heard the words, Li Fan smiled. The journey to the expedition to West Mongolia was far away, and the Jingbei Army only dispatched 20,000 people, half of which were Jurchen mercenaries.

Even so, transporting supplies was a headache for Li Fan. But after hearing that the Jingbei Army was about to attack West Mongolia and completely unify the grassland, the herdsmen spontaneously brought weapons and followed the army with dry food.

After the decisive battle of the Jurchen mercenaries on the grassland, they obtained the most fertile pasture. Which herders don’t envy, and which herders don’t want to obtain such pasture.

But most of the grasslands have been divided up by merchants, and they can only work for the merchants. Hearing that the Jingbei Army was going to attack West Mongolia again, no one wanted to fight.

So, familiar herdsmen gathered together to form groups of all sizes and follow the Jingbei Army.

Li Fan was happy to see this, but he ordered herders to keep a certain distance from the Jingbei Army, especially at night for herders to approach the Jingbei Army camp.

China can no longer be as complacent as later generations. It needs to expand with all its might before the world pattern stabilizes.

For the whole world, China is still too small. If possible, Li Fan wished to enter the West and let the whip of God slapped the Western people in the face again.

Only in this way can the century-long humiliation endured by the Chinese in later generations be washed away, and only in this way can Li Fan be reborn once.

Western Mongolia was just the beginning. How did Westerners come to the East? Li Fan's Jingbei Army can fight back as usual.

In short, Li Fan wanted to tell the people in the territory a sentence: Follow Brother Fan to have meat to eat!

...

There are endless tents by the Yiwu River, and tens of thousands of Simonese men gather here. The tallest tent is constantly roaring.

"Baturhun! This little boy is a disaster star. You shouldn't take him in. You should drive him out of West Mongolia, otherwise the grassland will become a battlefield, and blood will dye the Yiwu River red..."

A red-haired Mongolian roared loudly, scaring Xiaolin Dan, who was hiding in the corner, shivered.

The old man sitting opposite him shook his head slightly, interrupted the man and said, "Orluk! Bu Boyan is our brother, Xiaolin Dan is the same as us, keeping the same bloodline.

Don’t you understand the principle that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold? The Han people occupied the grasslands in the south of the desert. Even if they don’t take Xiao Lin Dan in, they will come to the door sooner or later!

Let’s sit down and talk to the Han people, maybe we will find a way to avoid killing!”

Orlek also retorted: "Baturhun! Are you confused? We are the great Simongos, and our ancestors are the brave and good at fighting Oirat. How could we bow to the Han people?

You should listen to me and drive this little boy out of West Mongolia directly. If the Han people still want to attack West Mongolia, we will fight with them to the end and use their blood to irrigate the grasslands of West Mongolia!"

"No! Even if you want to fight, you can't fight hard. Bu Boyan is the best example. The Han people come from afar and only need to delay for a year or two, and the wealthy Han people can't hold on!

But this is the last resort, and then Simongo will suffer a lot of losses. I still hope to talk to the Han people, and it is best not to start a war!" Baturhun continued.

The two of them couldn't convince each other, so they started arguing in the big tent, but they didn't notice the trembling little Lin Dan in the corner, and the cunning flashed in their eyes.

In the end, the two parted ways. Xiaolin Dan returned to his tent, saw the personal guard inside, and lowered his voice and said, "Is the matter done?"
