Distant Liaodong.

The snow on the mountain tops has not yet melted, but the forest is already full of life. With the arrival of spring, everything is revived.

On the cultivated land outside the mountains and forests, people began to plow the fertile black soil according to the customs of the Central Plains.

Unlike today's lively grasslands, Liaodong seems to have been peaceful for a long time.

The different ethnic groups living together here have reached a certain tacit balance.

In the Nuergan area north of Liaodong, primitiveness is the theme here.

In order to rule the Northeastern region, the Yuan Dynasty established the Marshal's Office for the Eastern Expedition here. Mongolians, Jurchens, Jili charming, Kuyi, Daur and Han people lived here together.

Collecting in the mountains and cultivating the plains are the means and methods that people in the Northeast rely on to make a living.

The Ming Dynasty invested very little force in the area north of Liaodong, with only sporadic guard posts stationed there. This was more of an indication of the Ming Dynasty's stance and suzerainty status here.

Even Liaodong, which is separated by a wall, must strictly follow the taxation system established by the imperial court, collect money and food here, and send floating officials to govern the place.

In the Nuergan region of Northeast China, which is separated by a wall from Liaodong, it has symbolic meaning for both the Ming army and officials.

Here, the Ming Dynasty only collected some local specialties such as sea greens, mink skins, horses, pearls and other local products as proof of its rule over this vast northeastern region whose area had never been calculated.

Only in the past two years, the tentacles of the Ming Dynasty began to extend through Liaodong Xingdusi to the Nuergan region in the northeast.

The Ming Dynasty still did not levy taxes, but it began to build official post stations on the roads with the largest flow of people and stationed post soldiers and soldiers.

The purchasing power of Ming Dynasty copper banknotes here is very strong.

However, Ming's intervention here has so far been limited to this.

The area around Mudanjiang, Suifenhe and Changbai Mountain became an important gathering place for the Jurchens because of its proximity to Ming Dynasty, Liaodong and Li's Korea, as well as the fertile land and abundant mountain forests.

This place was also officially called Jianzhou Jurchen Department by the Ming Dynasty.

The origin of Jianzhou Jurchens originated from the Jurchens under the jurisdiction of three Wanhu Prefectures who migrated to the former home of the Bohai Sea Bin Prefecture in the Yuan Dynasty.

After the fall of the BCE Yuan Dynasty, the Jurchens in Jianzhou also used the three Wanhu Prefectures of the BCE Yuan Dynasty as their tribal names.

The Jurchens of Huligai, the Jurchens of Odoli, and the Jurchens of Towen.

Among them, the first two have the greatest power and influence.

Nurgan in the Northeast, a riverside in Jianzhou.

The ice on the river has not yet completely melted, but it is no longer possible for people to walk on the ice.

Danger abounds in all unknown places and areas.

In addition to the dangers posed by the ice on the river, the swamps scattered on the plains are also a source of terror for swallowing people.

The Siberian tigers, Siberian leopards and other large carnivores that have been hungry in the mountains and forests for a whole winter have also accumulated the last bit of strength in their bodies, waiting for some unlucky human to step into the hunting area, and then hunt them with all their strength as the new spring.

The source of strength here.

"Agu!"

"Agu!"

A few crisp children's voices came from behind the grassy slope by the river.

Standing on the riverside, Agu always wanted to test whether the ice was solid at this time. Hearing the voice calling him, he couldn't help but retract his feet that he had just stretched out, and looked back at the grassy slope on the shore.

I saw a few children with rough red faces, money rat tails on their heads, furry leather hats, and well-dressed children, rolling down the slope while cheering.

Agu frowned: "What are you doing here?"

"Your father and the leaders were discussing something. I heard that the leader of the Huli Gai tribe and the leaders of their tribe were about to arrive. We had time to sneak out."

A child about the same age as Agu started to explain in a loud voice, with a look of excitement on his face because the adults had to discuss things and had no time to take care of their homework.

Agu still frowned: "Spring will start soon, you have to start riding your horse quickly."

The child shook his head: "There is no need to run. When the Ming Dynasty wipes out the Tatars on the grassland, we can go horse racing on the grassland."

After all, Liaodong is not a place to stay for a long time. The savages in the north will often come out of those deep mountains and old forests to kill the Jurchens living here.

The grassland is vast enough to accommodate everyone in Oduo.

The grassland is the best place for horseback riding.

Agu still shook his head: "This is our home and the future home of our descendants. We should not leave here."

The leading child raised his arms, clenched his fists and punched the air several times: "The Ming people have already formed an alliance with us. This time the Ming Dynasty attacks the grassland, we have also begun to gather people. Then we can follow the Ming Dynasty."

It was picked up and missed on the grassland."

Agu still shook his head.

He is the eldest son of the leader of the Oduoli tribe, and will be the future leader of the Oduoli tribe. He knows far more than the sons of the leaders of these tribes.

Seeing Agu's silence.

The leading child stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Let's go for a ride to the south today on horseback. I heard that there are many new Ming people there."

They are all twelve or thirteen-year-old children. At this age, some unspeakable things will always happen.

Agu felt a little helpless, but since these people had tasted the fishy smell, they were like wolf dogs in the forest, always noisy and noisy.

"People from Huli's reform department are here today. Maybe they will ask us to come over and practice riding skills."

Agu reminded in a low voice.

The child opposite him frowned, thought for a while, and felt that something made sense, so he could only let out a long sigh.

Then he stretched out his foot and kicked hard on a pebble on the ground.

The pebbles lifted off the ground at a very fast speed and flew straight to the river.

Following a crisp sound, there was an echo from under the thin ice on the shore.

Then I saw where the pebble fell. The entire ice surface was broken. As the river water surged under the ice surface, the broken ice surfaces began to squeeze each other. In the end, many of them were pressed into the surrounding ice layer.

Below, it rolled and floated in all directions in the river water under the ice.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Agu looked at the disappointed expressions on the faces of the other people behind him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

If the Odoli Department wants to develop, it cannot do without the support of these people’s parents and their future generations.

Agu said softly: "If you wait a little longer, maybe no one will be able to take care of you in a while."

"real?"

Agu nodded hesitantly: "It should be."

Hearing the answer from the leader's son, the children in the surrounding area immediately burst into cheers.

They imitated the posture of riding on horseback, with one hand in front and the other behind, constantly flapping downwards, their bodies moving forward, and rushing towards the slope of the shore.

Seeing that his playmates of the same age had all left, Agu looked back at the thin ice on the shore, and finally gave up the dangerous idea.

He took steps and walked towards the tribe.

Soon, Agu returned to the tribe.

At this time, the Odor tribe was already very lively, probably because the Huli Kai tribe leaders and leaders from the Gobi were coming over, and the women in the tribe had started preparing food early.

The aroma of food filled the entire tribe, and you could smell it wherever you went.

Agu stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.

I heard that the food Akito eats is the most delicious thing in the world, and I don’t know if I will ever have the chance to taste Akito’s food.

After thinking about it, he had already arrived at the house of the leader of Oduoli.

The leader's house is easy to recognize.

The centermost, best-built and largest house in the tribe belongs to the leader.

The house is large because in addition to living in it, it is also used for discussion.

Agu returned home.

I saw that several other leaders in the tribe had already arrived, and my father Meng Temu also sat in the position of the leader.

Agu saluted and stood aside politely.

Meng Temu glanced at his son, his eyes a little more kind: "Agu."

"exist."

"Have you practiced today?"

"I've already practiced riding horses and archery."

Mengtemu nodded with satisfaction, and then briefly glanced at the tribal leaders present with a somewhat showy look.

The leaders just chimed in and praised a few words casually, and then lost their mood completely.

Mentemu also quickly returned to today's topic.

"Ahachu is my uncle, and he has been very helpful to our Odoli tribe over the years. The reason why he brought the leaders of the Huli Gai tribe here this time must be because the Ming Dynasty is attacking the Mongols."

Meng Temu spoke softly, his eyes a little solemn.
